Early the next morning, Ma Liguo came to pick up Shen Yunfang and her two children from the guesthouse. They had agreed to go house viewing together today.
As they entered the Hongsheng Residential Area, whenever there were people passing by, they would greet Ma Liguo with a smile, calling out "Director Ma, Director Ma," and some male comrades would even come over to offer him cigarettes.
Shen Yunfang was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Li Hongjun's comrade-in-arms to be so influential. Most importantly, it made these common folks—well… how should she put it—flatter him; it was indeed quite rare.
After Ma Liguo rejected another comrade offering cigarettes, he chuckled and said, "My sister-in-law finds this strange, huh? Hehe, I don't have any great skills, can't be a high official, just a neighborhood committee director, in charge of these areas."
