Chapter 37: It was better to have him as a friend than an enemy

Weiwei put on a confident smile and walked towards the three men. Even though she did not enter the job market in her previous life, from working at the healthy living restaurant that served wealthy people, she learned that confidence is everything when trying to make a first impression. And that was important right now as the people she was about to face would never give a second look at a teenager like her. She knew the importance of this chance meeting.

She stopped in front of the three men causing them to come to a stop as well and look at her.

"Hello Mayor Yen, deputy mayor Feng, and secretary Lin." She greeted them by their titles and last names according to their importance.

Even though the three men were taken aback by her boldness and confidence as not just anyone would have the courage to block them and talk to them, their upbringing still compelled them to reply.

"Hello, young lady." They replied in unison

"Mayor Yen, my name is Xia Weiwei and I would like to bother you for two minutes. I promise it's important and it won't take more than two minutes." Xia Weiwei went straight to the point. She knew these people had a lot of important things to do and would not waste time with strangers or people who wanted to curry favor with them. So she had to be quick and also had to make sure that the mayor understands that she was not there to waste his time.

Mayor Yen was intrigued by this young lady in front of him who was so bold as to come up to him and want to talk to him privately. Many young people did not possess such boldness. He wondered what kind of thing was so important that it gave the young lady such courage.

Before the mayor could reply deputy mayor Feng berated Xia Weiwei and asked her to leave.

"Young girl, the mayor is busy person and does not have the time to discuss non-important issues with children. You are wasting our time and we have a meeting to get to."

Upon hearing that statement, Xia Weiwei almost rolled her eyes at the deputy mayor. 'You are clearly in a hurry to kill the mayor and replace him, yet you make it sound so ostentatious.' Weiwei thought. .

She, however, did not even look at him but kept staring at the mayor. "Mr. Mayor, it won't take too much of your time." She insisted.

Seeing her persistence, the deputy mayor was about to open his mouth again when he heard the mayor say, "Okay, I will give you two minutes." He could only keep his mouth shut. It was only an extra two minutes. The mayor can live for another two minutes at most.

As such, deputy mayor Feng and secretary Lin left first as Xia Weiwei led Mayor Yen away from the door and stood at a corner of the reception hall where no one was around.

"What is so important young lady that you would insist on seeing me?" Asked the mayor after making sure that they were alone.

"Do you drive a black audi car with a license plate ending with 333?" Weiwei asked a question that baffled the mayor, but he still answered it sincerely.

"Yes, that is my car."

"Then I suggest you don't drive it now before having it inspected."

"Why would you say that?" This time the mayor went on high alert. No one would warn him not to drive his own car without a good reason. Especially when she stopped him and insisted on talking to him when they had never met before.

"When I came in I got out of my car near the entrance of the hotel. My driver went to park the car. As I was walking I happened to look around and I saw a suspicious scene at the VIP parking lot. A man wearing a blue checkered shirt with a cap and a mask was walking away from your car. He looked suspicious to me as he was looking around as if looking for something or checking to see if someone was looking his way."

"It might just be a baseless suspicion on my part, but I think it is better to be safe than sorry." Weiwei concluded. It's not like she could tell him with certainty that his had been tampered with. That will make her suspicious instead, so it's better to let him think that she was just being cautious.

The mayor could not believe what he had heard. If what the little girl said was true then his life would be in danger if he really got into that car. But he was a politician after all, he still had his suspicions. How did the girl know that it was his car? She specifically asked to talk to him, which meant that she was sure it was his car. So, he decided to ask

"How did you know that was my car? There are many cars in the VIP parking lot and any of them could have been mine, why were you so sure that the Audi was my car?"

"I may not be involved in politics, but business sometimes overlaps with politics, especially with City Y's economy where the government is collaborating with local companies to improve the city standards. My husband heads one of the most successful businesses in the City, so me knowing your car is not a big deal."

Weiwei's reasoning was so water-tight that no loopholes could be found.

"And who is your husband Miss Xia?" The mayor no longer called her Young lady but added a little respect. The Young lady could potentially save his life after all.

"The CEO of Mo Corporation, Mo Shian."

This time, the mayor was really shocked. He had not expected that the random girl who had stopped him was the rumored wife of the ruthless Mo Shian. He could not believe that such a sweet girl was married to that devil. He had dealt with Mo Shian before, and that guy would not give a centimeter if there were no profits to be made. But from there dealings, he learned that it was better to have him as a friend than an enemy.
