Chapter 123 Is It Hot Outside?
Zi Yisheng’s sharp eyes swept over the people around him, all of whom lived day by day, judging people by their appearance.
"I will be staying here for a month. I hope you will change your bad habits. Don't think your positions are secure. Also, deal with the people who need to be dealt with."
Mayor Zhao, sitting beside Zi Yisheng, felt like cursing. He never expected such a shameful incident to happen right under his nose, and for it to be discovered by a visiting leader. It was truly an embarrassment for the entire city of Qi.
As soon as Zi Yisheng left, Mayor Zhao slammed the documents in his hand onto the desk.
"From now on, no matter how powerful your backgrounds are, as long as you work here for one day, you will behave yourself. If you don't want to, you can leave immediately. I'm old enough, and I don't want to be embarrassed with you all."
"Finance Department, quickly issue an announcement to dismiss Wan Qiong. Try to conceal what she did. Forget it, it's better to tell the truth, as everyone already knows."
If you were to ask if Mayor Zhao feared the Wan family of Mingcheng, he did. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Wan Qiong act so arrogantly under his nose for so long. But he feared the Zi family of Mingcheng even more; the Wan family was nothing in the eyes of the Zi family.
Section Chief Wei breathed a sigh of relief only after everyone had left. It was better to be honest in this day and age. They, the small figures, couldn't rely on just anyone they wanted.
The resolution of Wan Qiong's case brought a sense of joy to many in the office building. After all, Wan Qiong's arrogant and flirtatious demeanor had long been disliked by many. Those who hated her but couldn't get rid of her were finally happy.
As soon as Zi Yisheng arrived at his office, he saw A Can. He thought something had happened with Ye Shenge.
"What happened?"
A Can repeated what Ye Shenge had said earlier. Zi Yisheng looked at A Can a few more times.
"What? Do you guys feel it's hot outside?"
A Can quickly shook his head. He would rather die of heat than admit it. He quickly used his eyes to ask Ouyang, who was nearby.
Ouyang, however, kept his eyes on his nose, resolutely ignoring A Can's pleading gaze.
"It's not hot, not hot at all. It's just that Miss Ye doesn't seem to like someone staring at her all the time."
Zi Yisheng didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt a pang in his heart.
"Since she doesn't like it, you'll be in the open."
A Can and Ouyang were stunned. A Can and the others had never shown their faces around Zi Yisheng before. Now, they were to move into the open for a girl.
"Young Master Zi, this isn't appropriate. If A Can shows himself, he won't be able to stay by your side anymore."
"It doesn't matter. From now on, A Can will follow Shenge. I've entrusted her life to you, and you know that someone will come soon."
A Can felt a bit uncomfortable. In his heart, Ye Shenge wasn't that important; as long as her life was saved, it was enough. Now, for her, he had to leave Young Master Zi's side and distance himself from the main group, which he couldn't accept.
"Young Master Zi, I think it's better for me to remain hidden. It's more convenient for operations that way."
"No need. Since she doesn't like it, don't make her unhappy. Her health is not good, try not to scare her."
What Zi Yisheng cared about was whether A Can, hidden in the shadows, might suddenly startle the young girl at any moment. After all, in his eyes, the young girl's body was as fragile as glass.
Ouyang quickly gave a glance to A Can, who was about to say something more, signaling him not to say anything further.
"You can all go and get busy."
