Xie Jin abruptly closed his mouth when he saw Zhang Baifa's figure, previously domineering presence dissipating in an instant.
He looked at Zhang Baifa in disbelief, "Town... Mayor? How did you end up here?"
Zhang Baifa snorted coldly, "If I hadn't come, Qingyang Town might as well have become your Xie Jin's kingdom!"
Xie Jin's face changed, realizing something, and he hastily said, "Mayor, did they speak ill of me to you? You mustn't believe a word they say, what they are doing is slandering me, I was just trying to ensure the normal operation of the town's homestay industry!"
Zhang Baifa barked, "I have already checked the records of this homestay. Since its opening, it has consistently received high praise. Yet you used the excuse of too many complaints against them to kick them out of Qingyang Town and take over the homestay for yourself. Is this also for maintaining the normal operation of the homestay industry?"
