Chapter 953 - 671: What Sort of Arrogance Must This Man Possess! (2)

"At this age, children require a lot of attention. Mayor Ma is quite busy with official duties and also has to take care of the child, which is not easy.""Si Yuan is well-behaved, that’s a relief."

It sounded like polite conversation, but it was also true.

Prince Huang sat between Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu, looking at Shuangshuang and Ma Siyuan across the table, whispering even while eating...

Huang Huang couldn’t help but stare at the two of them...

The more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt...

Su Xiaomeng noticed her son stopped eating, glanced down at him, and smiled,

"What’s wrong?"

Prince Huang snapped out of his thoughts, lowered his head, and bit into a chicken wing without saying a word.

Xiao Meng and Yin Shixiu exchanged a glance, realizing that the little guy couldn’t hide what he was thinking from them,

"The little guy is jealous..."

"Huang’er, are you feeling uneasy seeing your sister getting along so well with someone else?"

"No."

Prince Huang replied with an aloof expression, then focused on eating with determination.

Su Xiaomeng chuckled silently and gave him another chicken wing without exposing Prince Huang.

"Mayor Ma, being so young and achieving so much in politics, is truly remarkable."

Yin Shaohui said, raising his glass to toast Ma Xingchang.

Ma Xingchang quickly stood up,

"Mr. Yin, you flatter me."

He took a sip of wine before sitting down, and honestly said,

"Prime Minister Bai is my mentor. With his guidance over the years, Ma Xingchang became who he is today."

He spoke calmly, causing Su Xiaomeng to look up in surprise and blink,

"Prime Minister Bai... my grandfather?"

"Yes."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart was filled with mixed emotions...

No wonder just she and this little girl Shuangshuang could have such influence to invite the mayor to their home.

It turned out it was all out of respect for her grandfather...

"Then you knew I—"

"Yes."

Before Su Xiaomeng finished her question, Ma Xingchang replied firmly.

Alright...

Truth is always more realistic.

Usually, not many words are spoken during meals, and it was the few children making a fuss at the table that made the dinner quite lively.

After dinner, the clock hand passed eight o’clock.

The Yin elders didn’t accompany Ma Xingchang any longer; despite being a rising star in politics, the age gap seemed too wide for meaningful interaction.

The elders went back to their rooms to wash up and prepare for bed.

Bai Sixian helped Ah Su clear the dishes, while Su Chengji assisted in cutting fruit.

Su Xiaomeng led the three children to play with toys in the side hall.

Ma Xingchang sat on the sofa in the main hall, while Yin Shixiu sat in a wheelchair, casually chatting with Ma Xingchang.

The name Yin Shixiu had been mentioned numerous times today.

The Tianjin Port incident from over three months ago kept resurfacing as a trending topic online.

When it came to Ma Xingchang, it naturally came up as well,

"Who would have thought Wu Rong did so much while in office."

"Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover."

Yin Shixiu held a cup of warm water, while the TV broadcasted the evening news, coincidentally reporting Wu Rong’s criminal activities.

On TV, Wu Rong, dressed in prison uniform with handcuffs, had none of his former impressive demeanor.

Mentioning Wu Rong naturally led to discussing Wu Yao.

Ma Xingchang wasn’t thoroughly familiar with the event details, but hearing that Wu Yao had changed identities and spent years infiltrating Rong Jing and his son, gathering evidence of cooperation between Rong Group and Wu Rong...

"Was Mr. Yin’s life saved by Wu Yao?"

"That’s right."

Ma Xingchang nodded,

"It seems Rong Group is truly at its end this time."

"Mayor Ma appears quite concerned about corporate matters as well."

"Economics dictates politics, and politics are rooted in economics... Yin Group and Rong Group are among the top enterprises in the country. The fall of either is not something I want to see."

Yin Shixiu slightly curled his lips,

"Oh? Does Mayor Ma want to assist Rong Group?"

"Rong Group’s gray transactions are too numerous; it’s not something I can help with even if I wanted to. Surely, Mr. Yin knows that better than I do."

"Despite Yin Group’s rapid rise, Rong Group has a history of five or six decades. No matter what, Rong Group’s brands are spread worldwide... it’s truly a pity for it to fall just like that."

"An old horse still strives to gallop a thousand miles... Unfortunately, without the right business philosophy, no matter how long the history, it’s not worth remembering."

Yin Shixiu said calmly, while Ah Su poured more hot water for both Yin Shixiu and Ma Xingchang.

He gently blew on the hot water in his cup, taking a small sip,

"Economics dictates politics, so only with a good economy can there be good politics that align with national conditions and public sentiment."
