After leaving the meeting room, Su Mu returned to his office. After reviewing the accumulated documents from the past few days, a knock came from the door.

"Come in!"

"Mayor Su, I hope I'm not disturbing you. I want to report on my work," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Of course not, Director Lin. Come, sit down and talk!" Su Mu said with a smile, feeling no need to put on airs with his own people.

Lin Chen was also very aware. After entering, he took out a stack of documents, placed them on the table, and began his report. Most of what he said was about what had happened in Heishan Town over the past few days, but nothing major. The focus was on the construction of the Dalishu Primary School.

The Luo family construction company's reputation was indeed excellent. Luo Kanghua was determined to build the school well, and the school's outline was almost complete. Since it was just a primary school, the project wasn't too large, and it could be completed within a month without any problem.

"In that case, I'll go over there later to take a look. I also have some things to instruct Luo Kanghua," Su Mu said with a smile.

"Mayor Su, there's something you should be cautious about," Lin Chen said in a low voice.

"What is it?" Su Mu asked casually.

"Recently, Mayor Ma has been particularly active. Not only does he often drink with Mayor Lin, but he also frequently meets with the heads of the town's various departments. It seems like they've heard some news, and they keep lining up to report to him. Mayor Su, you know that Mayor Ma's responsibilities don't align with those departments. If they need to report, they should come to you," Lin Chen said.

This was a rather straightforward statement, but it was only because Lin Chen was confident in his position, having been promoted by Su Mu. Now, with the door closed, he felt less restrained.

"I understand!" Su Mu said without much concern.

"Then I'll leave you to your work, Mayor. I'll be going now." Seeing Su Mu's reaction, Lin Chen didn't say more, got up, and carefully closed the office door behind him.

The smile on Su Mu's lips grew more mysterious. Ma Xiang, I didn't expect you to be the first to jump out. Su Mu knew very well what Ma Xiang relied on. It was because Li Ya and Xue Feng were under investigation, making him see the opportunity for Zhao Rui'an to rise, which gave him the courage to act.

And with Xie Wen's investigation this morning, Ma Xiang's confidence grew even more. What Su Mu found puzzling was why Zhao Rui'an would overlook him. Could it be that he was too busy with the position of county party secretary to remember this matter?

Unable to figure it out, Su Mu decided to put it aside for now. There would always be a way when the time came. He had more important things to do. With that thought, Su Mu got up and headed towards Dalishu Village. He arrived there around noon.

As Lin Chen had reported, the Luo family construction company's reputation was indeed solid. The former wasteland was now unrecognizable, with three small buildings already constructed. Various sounds filled the air, and no one was slacking off. Everyone was working enthusiastically to meet the deadline.

"Hey, isn't that Mayor Su? What brings you here?" Luo Kanghua saw Su Mu and hurried over. The former look of distress was gone, and he now appeared much more confident. However, working under the sun had tanned his skin.

"Mr. Luo, I just came to take a look. Don't worry about me," Su Mu said with a smile.

"How can I not? Here, put on a safety helmet, and I'll show you around," Luo Kanghua handed him a helmet, and Su Mu put it on before following him for a tour.

"That's the teaching building, two stories with about ten classrooms, more than enough! Over there is the teachers' dormitory, also a two-story building. And that area, as you instructed, will be the library. This is the playground, which will be covered with grass. Heishan Town may lack many things, but not grass.

Also, see those bungalows over there? They are the canteen we built. With so many students walking long distances every day, their meals often get cold by the time they arrive. It's a bit pitiful, so we built the canteen. We don't expect much, but at least the food can be heated up.

And, Mayor Su, those few bungalows will be the dormitories. The foundation here is good, so the construction is quick. Plus, some of the nearby villagers come to help when they have free time. I guarantee we'll finish on schedule. Is there anything else you need to instruct?"

Luo Kanghua's words were very pleasing to Su Mu, and the construction site looked impressive. Luo Kanghua had clearly put a lot of thought into everything.

"Mr. Luo, if you build it this way, the money might not be enough to pay the workers. Don't end up losing money! I have no other requirements, but the quality must be guaranteed. If there are any quality issues after construction, no matter how fancy it looks, I won't accept it," Su Mu said.

"Don't worry, the quality will be perfect. If there are any issues, you can reject it during the inspection," Luo Kanghua promised, patting his chest.

In reality, as Su Mu had said, the money Luo Kanghua would earn from building this school was minimal. In the past, he wouldn't have taken on such a job. But now, the situation was different. The Luo family construction company was in trouble, and more importantly, he wanted to build a relationship with Su Mu.

As long as the relationship was solid, Luo Kanghua would do the job even if he lost money.

"Good, as long as the quality is guaranteed," Su Mu said with a smile, turning around. "Mr. Luo, to be honest, if you do a good job on this project, Heishan Town is about to see significant development, and I won't forget you. I'll keep my promise."

"Thank you, Mayor Su," Luo Kanghua said with a smile. "Mayor Su, it's almost noon. Why don't you stay for lunch? Don't worry, we won't go overboard. We'll prepare whatever we eat."

"Sure, I'll have a meal here," Su Mu said, feeling very pleased.

"Great!" Luo Kanghua turned and shouted to the kitchen, "Ergouzi, did you hear that? We're having a special meal today. Prepare more dishes and make sure everyone eats well!"

Su Mu enjoyed his lunch, which was hearty and practical, with no alcohol. For the workers, it was a perfect meal. The Luo family construction company had been in business for many years in Xingtang County, largely due to Luo Kanghua's good treatment of his workers.

If it were another construction company, the workers would have long since quit. But with the Luo family, even in difficult times, no one left.

After lunch, Su Mu lit a cigarette and chatted with Luo Kanghua. Suddenly, his phone rang, and he heard Zhou Ci's seductive voice.

"Husband, what are you doing?" Zhou Ci said in a coquettish tone.

"Inspecting the construction site under the sun," Su Mu said with a smile.

"Working so hard? Would you like your wife to come and serve you, my lord?" Zhou Ci's voice was irresistible.

"Don't try to seduce me here. Do you want me to make you unable to get out of bed when I see you?" Su Mu said in a mock threatening tone from a corner.

"Hehe! I believe you, how could I not? Everyone knows our lord is very impressive! But I wonder if you have time to come to the city," Zhou Ci said with a laugh.

"What for?" Su Mu asked.

"Of course, someone wants to see you. I think you'll have to come, whether you want to or not," Zhou Ci said.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat. The only person in Qinglin City who could make Zhou Ci say this was probably the city's discipline inspection commission secretary, Zhou Conglan.

Was it Zhou Conglan who wanted to see him? Why? Could he have found out about his relationship with Zhou Ci? That didn't make sense! Zhou Ci wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal everything. Or did he hear something from another source...

"Alright, alright, just say it's for me. I'll come, and I'll make it up to you tonight," Zhou Ci said with a pout.

Mature women are irresistible, and that was no exaggeration.

Hearing this, Su Mu couldn't help but imagine Zhou Ci's alluring figure and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll get ready and leave now. I should arrive in the city this afternoon. I'll contact you when I get there."

"Okay, take care on the road, my lord. I'll be waiting for you, all clean and fresh!"

Zhou Ci hung up with a kiss. If Su Mu were there, he would have seen her throw her phone on the bed, hug a big teddy bear, and laugh heartily. Her slip had slipped, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, making her look even more seductive.

Su Mu left immediately, returned to Heishan Town, and informed Liang Changgui before heading to Qinglin City. He arrived in the city around four or five in the afternoon, called Zhou Ci, and she gave him the address. Su Mu then headed over.

However, when Su Mu, led by a receptionist, pushed open the door to the private room and saw the man standing there, even though he had been prepared, his heart still raced.

"Secretary Zhou!" Su Mu said respectfully.
