They had interacted many times and could be considered to have some connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this mayor was too upright and unyielding, offending many political enemies in the official circles. He only served one term in Yunhai before being pushed out by his colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, because of his temperament, he was sabotaged by his political enemies in the year when he had the most hope for promotion, directly missing the best opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In official circles, it's all about timing and age limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One misstep leads to falling behind at every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that sabotage, coupled with his age, Mayor Tong was later only laterally transferred to another city, where he served two more terms before reluctantly retiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could get to know Mayor Tong through Tong Yao and then help him overcome that difficult period...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't that be considered an enormous favor for the other party?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the mayor's connection in Yunhai, wouldn't Chen Fan have gained a powerful backer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, when encountering the likes of the Zhao family or Li family, it wouldn't be much of an issue, at least not as troublesome to deal with as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Chen Fan thought about it, the more excited he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been wondering how to find good connections in Yunhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected heaven to deliver a connection right to his doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could he establish a connection with Tong Yao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly going up to greet her definitely wouldn't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by this girl's attire and demeanor, she clearly belonged to the cold and unapproachable type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to rashly go up and greet her, she might think he was some kind of pervert or scoundrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving a bad first impression would be terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Chen Fan felt like he was facing a mountain of gold with no way to get at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they both went up to shoot two more rounds respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that Tong Yao must have learned shooting and was very proficient at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could basically hit all targets in every round of shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chen Fan, in the later rounds, because he had something on his mind, his performance was even worse than his first trial shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one time when he only hit 3 clay pigeons, causing Tong Yao to glance over, her eyes full of exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan felt a bit sheepish, and as he was hesitating whether to go over and say hello,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had already packed up her things and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan wasn't too disappointed.

How come you still need to pay to get in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Yao, annoyed by her companion's incessant chatter, couldn't help but retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl immediately gritted her teeth in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's all my fault for being careless, I actually forgot to ask him for a membership card back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time I see him, I must make him compensate me with a VIP card, at least...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she was saying this, the girl's gaze casually swept over in this direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly froze, rooted to the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When... when did you get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi!
