When all this was being said, there just happened to be a few subordinates waiting in the outer office of Mayor Ye. The always-proud Eldest Miss Nie couldn't stomach this kind of humiliation at all; she left at once with a cold face, went back to the provincial capital the very next day, and hasn't come back since.
After Nie Aixue left, the looks everyone snuck at Mayor Ye in private were mixed—some were worried, some were gloating. After all, the person he'd offended was the Governor's daughter. A transferred cadre without a deep background, how could he afford to stomp all over the Governor's face like that?
But a few days went by and Mayor Ye wasn't summoned for a "talk," nor for a "chat." So everyone secretly began to speculate: could the rumor that Mayor Ye has no background actually be false?
