Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 501 - 306 Offended a Big Shot!_3

"President, you can rest assured."

"We know how to measure."

Just then, an elderly man’s cell phone by the table lit up briefly, flashing a news alert.

He glanced at it intending to dismiss it, but when he saw who was on the news headline, he suddenly became interested.

[Government vehicle spotted entering and exiting Xia Mansion on New Year’s Eve, young upstart from Wealthy District backgrounds not so simple??]

"What did you see? Why did you stop talking all of a sudden?"

Urged by his companion, the elder clicked on the news and sneered, "Huh, we were just talking about him, and here comes the news about this kid. No wonder he’s so audacious, he’s found himself a backer too~"

He clearly thought that, with Xia Xian’s background, at most he could curry favor with a local police chief, which was nothing to worry about.

The others also showed interest.

"Oh? Really? Let me see too."

"This kid is really quite popular now, even the paparazzi are following him home?"

"Could it be he hired them himself?"

"That shouldn’t be the case, if he had hired them it would definitely be very clear, not like now, only capturing the politician’s car."

"It looks like a pretty old-fashioned car, do we have any officials here who drive one like that?"

These old foxes were usually very good at assessing situations, knowing very well which politician drove what car.

But they hadn’t seen this car in the picture before.

At least not among the people they commonly interacted with.

It didn’t look luxurious. freewēbnoveℓ.com

But the vehicles of political figures are always such enigmas, unlike the brazen display of wealth by businessmen, whose yachts and luxury cars signify their status, these individuals often opted for more low-key appearances...

At that moment, one man suddenly stood up from his chair, staring at the screen in disbelief, his voice trembling, "No, it can’t be... this looks like the mayor’s car!"

Hearing this, even the usually unshakeable bearded president couldn’t help but inquire, "The mayor? Which city’s mayor?"

"From Southern Boundary?"

Southern Boundary was a lawless place, where even the mayor had less power than the police chief of the Wealthy District.

If so, that would be nothing...

However, the man who spoke earlier confidently replied, "No, it’s our Pus City’s Hilder Mayor!"

The room instantly fell silent.

The words ’Pus City Mayor’ firmly gripped everyone’s throats, and no one spoke for a long time...

Pus City Mayor? Visiting Xia Mansion?

Even the bearded president had never had the fortune of connecting with the Pus City Mayor, and even if Xia Xian was fortunate, he should have been the one to visit the mayor’s residence, not the other way around.

Clearly, no one in the room believed this news, and the person who recognized the mayor’s car seemed to know what they were thinking. Before they could ask, he confirmed again, "Believe me, I won’t mistake it. I had seen the Pus City Mayor get into that car when I was at the city hall, and I even asked the staff then. They told me that this vintage car was exclusively for the mayor!"

The crafty old foxes, who had just spoken of making it tough for Xia Xian, looked like they had seen a ghost, their lips turning pale.

The Pus City Mayor’s ancestors were military officers, and by his generation, his involvement in politics was extensive while his son was the boss of Golar, a leading tycoon in the Wealthy District.

This family, one could say, had consolidated power, wealth, and prestige all in one. If Xia Xian really had them as a backer, that would be...

"President, what do we do now?"

"If Xia Xian uses this connection with the mayor, our Association of the Wealthy could be in big trouble..."

The bearded president’s face didn’t look good either, as he anxiously fiddled with his cigar, "What Association of the Wealthy? The trouble you’ve stirred up yourselves, what does that have to do with the Association of the Wealthy?"

Seeing the president wanting to distance himself, the schemers hurriedly said, "President, you can’t say that! Even if it’s our fault, Xia Xian must know he has your backing."

The president ground his teeth hard, and carelessly stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray.

Had it not been for Gadi repeatedly assuring that Xia Xian had no powerful connections, he would never have allowed the members to act recklessly!

This Gadi...

He promptly called Gadi, who answered quickly.

But Gadi was evidently still unaware of what had happened, starting off with a cheerful tone, "President? What brings you to call me personally?"
