In Little Yuan’s heart, whether or not he would be sent away depended on his father. He only wanted to please his father. Who were the others? As he thought about this, such an expression unconsciously appeared on his face. He pointed at Zou Bai and said, “Dad, why should 1 apologize to them! Who does he think he is? Pfft!”
Little Yuan’s domineering personality was revealed once again. From Little Yuan’s expression, Jiang Yu could tell that it was definitely not a good thing. Her two small brows furrowed as she strode in front of Zou Bai. She stuck her two short hands at her waist and looked aggressive. “What are you talking about? Apologize to my father!”
Not to mention Zou Bai, even Jiang An was shocked when she saw this scene.
This little girl, who had only learned how to walk for a few months, had already begun to be empathetic and be protective of others. Jiang An felt both gratified and jealous. She, who had been pregnant for ten months and had given birth to her with difficulty, had yet to receive this little girl’s protection. Zou Bai had already enjoyed it.
Thinking of this, Jiang An pouted slightly and glanced at Zou Bai beside her.
Zou Bai felt Jiang An’s gaze and held back his good mood.
When Li Gang saw his son’s arrogant and despotic att.i.tude in front of Zou Bai, he was almost angered to the point of having a heart attack. He was thinking about how to turn the tide while Zou Bai was crazily tearing down the corner!
Li Gang first took a few deep breaths. Seeing that Little Yuan had also imitated Jiang Yu and was about to open his mouth to retort, he couldn’t care less. He was so angry that he slapped him. “Shut up!”
Li Gang’s slap was hard enough for a child even if he restrained his strength. Seeing the blood seeping out of the corner of Little Yuan’s mouth, Li Gang felt more at ease.
This slap was both urgent and specially done by Li Gang for Zou Bai to show that he was severely punishing Little Yuan and would not tolerate his bad behavior.
However, Little Yuan was completely dumbfounded. In his memory, he had never even encountered such a harsh scolding like today, let alone a beating. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he did not dare to retort.
Li Gang glared at Little Yuan. “Apologize!”
Little Yuan mimicked those who had been bullied by him in the past. He bent down and whispered in a choked voice, “I’m sorry.”
Zou Bai then said unhurriedly, “Mayor Li, what are you doing? Of course, I can understand your love for your child. If that’s the case…”
“Then you should also change your position. If you stay in Lin City for too long, it’s easy for you to break away from the people of the first-tier. Your style of doing things is inevitably filled with bureaucracy. This is not good. It’s not conducive to your promotion in the future. Now that 1 think about it, your son is too young. It’s indeed not good to go alone. Then you can go to Jiangzhou to experience it together. Don’t worry, your position won’t change. You’ll still be Mayor Li.”
They were both mayors. It looked like a fair transfer, but in fact, it was a demotion.
Back then, Li Gang was able to be transferred to a wealthy place like Lin City because of his good political achievements. However, he had lost more than half of his family’s savings. In recent years, he had only earned half of his losses. If he went there, he would really be demoted back to the past.
Li Gang felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly remembered something his colleague had told him before.
Although he didn’t understand Zou Bai, he had heard some things about Zou Bai. The orders he gave wouldn’t be changed. If his subordinates resisted, the result would only be worse. Li Gang had already forgotten that he had made a mistake once. He definitely couldn’t make the same mistake again.
At the thought of this, Li Gang forced a smile and praised, “Fourth Master is indeed far-sighted. 1 really lack basic training now. When I go there this time, I’ll definitely pay attention to my son’s education. 1 won’t let him cause such a huge disaster again.”
When Huang Jin heard that Zou Bai had decided the fate of a mayor in Lin City with just two sentences, wouldn’t punishing him be as easy as pinching an ant to death? His limbs went numb, and even his backbone began to turn cold. His head shrank even more, and he wished he had a sh.e.l.l to hide in.
Zou Bai glanced at Huang Jin from the corner of his eye and didn’t say anything. He just waved at Li Gang.
When Li Gang saw Zou Bai’s gesture for him to leave, he immediately dragged his son and left with his group of people. Seeing this, Huang Jin quickly followed behind the crowd and mixed with the group of people..
