When the Golden Lion Dog and Pretty Girl had left, Tang San did not choose to return to Redemption Academy; instead, he went back to the low-rise house.
"Elder Mao, I have something I'd like to discuss with you," he said respectfully as he approached Elder Mao, who was about to finish his meal.
"What is it, Xiao Tang?" Elder Mao asked with a smile.
Tang San said, "The mayor has instructed me to take care of some matters in five days, which might require me to be away for a few days. Do you think I could work continuously for the next few days? After I'm done with the mayor's task, I'll come back and continue working."
After pondering for a moment, Elder Mao replied, "That should be fine. Just make sure to clean up the area around the square a bit more, and I'll have someone cover for you later. Do you know how many days you'll be gone?"
