Gao Qi paused slightly in his tea-drinking action upon hearing the words, and did not immediately respond.
He had guessed Cao Xiaolou's purpose for seeking him out before coming, and at the moment he just didn't want to expose it, going along with his act.
Cao Xiaolou saw that he didn't speak, smiled faintly and said, "Did Mayor Wu promise to promote you, to make you the county mayor?"
Gao Qi smiled and shook his head, "I'm not familiar with Mayor Wu."
His answer suddenly made Cao Xiaolou's emotions agitated.
Because he thought about how he was set up by Gao Qi this time, leading to losing his position as county mayor.
He skipped the prepared speech, glaring at him fiercely: "Don't think Mayor Wu's words are an imperial edict. This is Gaoshui County. Who becomes the county mayor, I decide!"
Gao Qi sneered, "Oh? And then?"
His tone, his reaction, made Cao Xiaolou, already agitated, almost lose control.
