After touring Wenyu Travel Company, Qin Mu and Jiang Haoxuan took their leave.
The purpose of their visit was a surprise inspection, to see if there was anything worth digging into.
Zhang Kui said this was Yu Xuewen's headquarters, a true secret base, so it must contain many things.
However, after their tour, Qin Mu's only discovery was probably the chairman's office at Wenyu Travel Company.
Besides the highly suspicious safe, Qin Mu also discovered a hidden compartment within the chairman's office.
It wasn't visible from the outside, so it was a concealed compartment.
An ordinary person would definitely not have noticed.
But Qin Mu was different. His biggest advantage over other leaders was the extensive knowledge he had acquired in the Flying Eagle Brigade.
For example, architectural structures!
This kind of knowledge is mandatory for special forces. During special missions, they observe walls for hidden compartments to prevent people or dangerous items from being concealed.
So, upon entering the chairman's office today, Qin Mu immediately noticed the problem.
Based on his experience, there was definitely a hidden compartment; however, he needed to investigate the specific location himself.
"County Head, I think I saw Secretary Yu's car."
After getting into the car and preparing to return to the county government, Jiang Haoxuan suddenly approached and said mysteriously.
Oh?
Yu Xuewen's car is here?
Qin Mu was curious and said, "Are you sure? When we left, wasn't Secretary Yu's official car parked in the county government compound? You didn't see wrong?"
"No, no, it's not his official car, it's Secretary Yu's private car."
Jiang Haoxuan explained, "Secretary Yu has a BMW; that's his private car. It's said to be registered under someone else's name, anyway, everyone knows that."
A private car?
Qin Mu was indeed unaware of this.
"Since it's a private car, and not registered under Secretary Yu's name, how do you know this?"
Qin Mu asked curiously.
"Actually, it's all a coincidence."
Jiang Haoxuan immediately explained, "The county town is so small. With so many officials in the county committee compound, it's inevitable that everyone will see Secretary Yu in that car. After a while, everyone knows."
"Once or twice is a coincidence, but ten or twenty times, it's definitely the truth."
This made perfect sense to Qin Mu.
The county town is so small, and Yu Xuewen is the county party secretary; wherever he goes, he's the center of attention.
If he's frequently seen in that car, it's almost certainly his private vehicle.
Everyone in the county committee compound is shrewd and has sharp eyes.
In their eyes, there are practically no secrets.
Since Jiang Haoxuan saw it, it means Yu Xuewen really did come to Wenyu Tourism Company that morning.
It's even possible he hasn't left yet.
This is interesting!
Shouldn't Yu Xuewen be in his office at this time? Why is he coming to Wenyu Tourism Company during working hours?
It seems Zhang Kui was right; this is indeed Yu Xuewen's true stronghold.
"What other secrets do you have that I don't know?"
Qin Mu asked curiously, "You can share them with me!"
"Actually, there's nothing... To be honest... I can't think of anything right now."
Jiang Haoxuan scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Anyway, Secretary Yu and the chairman of Wenyu Tourism Company have an extraordinary relationship. Not only people in the county government compound, but almost everyone in the county knows this."
"Really? How extraordinary is their relationship?"
Qin Mu smiled and asked in return.
"Well... well, it's that kind of relationship!"
Jiang Haoxuan was clearly a little embarrassed to say it aloud, saying, "I heard from others that Chairman Jiang's family is very ordinary. He used to be a waiter in a hotel, and then Secretary Yu selected him to start a tourism company, which gradually developed into the large company it is today. His experience is truly legendary!"
Hearing this, Qin Mu wasn't surprised at all.
Power is pursued by many, strived for by countless people, and the civil service exams are always packed – isn't it because of its allure?
It's absolute power!
A leader's word can change many people's fates.
Of course, power is a double-edged sword. Using power means taking responsibility for it. Used well, it leads to a peaceful retirement, a comfortable old age, and even lasting fame; used poorly, it can lead to a life in prison!
Back in the office, Han Ying quickly entered.
"County Head, Mr. Xie from Jiangzhou Xie's Real Estate is here. He says he wants to see you."
Han Ying reported, "They're waiting in the conference room. Should I call them in now?"
Oh?
Xie Changfeng is here?
Qin Mu nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Let him come. I happen to have some time now!"
"Okay!"
Han Ying immediately went out and called in Xie Changfeng and his companion, who had been waiting for a long time.
"County Chief Qin!"
"President Xie!"
Qin Mu greeted the other party, only then realizing that not only Xie Changfeng had come, but his sister Xie Yao had also accompanied him.
"Hello, County Chief Qin, I'm Xie Yao."
Seeing Qin Mu looking at her, Xie Yao immediately walked over, extended her hand, and said, "I was very rude last time. I spoke carelessly; I'm truly sorry, please forgive me."
Speak carelessly?
Offended?
Qin Mu felt genuinely embarrassed upon hearing this.
After all, the other party had called him a hooligan last time, and that wasn't entirely wrong, even somewhat accurate!
He really had accidentally peeked at someone showering in the hotel…
Although it was unintentional, he had definitely seen…
If you've seen, being called a hooligan isn't unreasonable.
As a result, the other party suffered the loss and had to apologize to him; it seemed as if he had bullied them!
Could he avoid apologizing just because he was the county chief?
No way! This wasn't Qin Mu's character, nor was it his usual style!
"Miss Xie Yao, hello, I'm Qin Mu!"
Qin Mu grasped Xie Yao's slender fingers, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss Xie, I want to sincerely apologize to you today. I'm very sorry about what happened at the hotel. It was truly a misunderstanding that day… I was drunk that day and accidentally barged into your room, which led me to see…"
"Don't… don't say anymore…"
Qin Mu wanted to offer a sincere apology and express his attitude, but Xie Yao blushed deeply, waving her hands repeatedly and saying shyly, "County Chief Qin, let's… let's not mention that matter anymore!"
Xie Yao was truly helpless!
She had already become indifferent to that incident, thinking it was all in the past and wouldn't be brought up again. But Qin Mu brought it up publicly today. As a girl, how could she bear this?
Every time Qin Mu said it again, Xie Yao felt like she was reliving it all. Like now, in front of Qin Mu, she felt like she was naked—how shameful!
