21 Neither Predecessors nor Successors

Mayor Jiang was a composed person most of the time. Seldom did he show any sign of surprise.

Hong Weiguo was surprised. "Old Jiang, you aren't so easily alarmed normally. Even though Dali bought quite a large number of estates, it isn't something you should be so surprised about. What's the real reason?"

Mayor Jiang put down his pen and leaned against his chair's backrest. He didn't directly answer Hong Weiguo's question but instead asked, "Let's put that aside for now. Old Hong, although Dali bought quite a number of estates, I don't think that's the reason you are here to see me, is it? Tell me, what is your plan?" Hong Weiguo's foresight in the business industry had always been very accurate. Since he had come to pay a visit to Mayor Jiang today, it definitely wasn't for a trivial matter.
