A country road outside Huyang Town.

Pan Xingming rode a shabby bicycle over here. He really didn't expect that the guy who had made trouble in Huyang Town before actually called him and said he wanted to meet him. This made him feel overwhelmed and full of doubt.

However, since he had promised the other party, he did not take any so-called airs. What a big deal? Could it be that the other party would be an unforgivable person? Even if I, the down-and-out mayor, did not have a few taels of oil for him to fry. Anyway, I was idle, so I went around and listen to what he would say.

So with this feeling, Pan Xingming appeared in front of Su Mu calmly.

"You rode here by yourself?" Su Mu said in surprise.

"Will I still have to come over if I don't ride a bike? I'll be exhausted." Pan Xingming looked as if he took it for granted.

"You are the mayor after all, so don't you have a car to transport it?" Su Mu asked in disbelief.

"Car transportation?" Pan Xingming showed a self-deprecating sneer on his lips, patting his bicycle and said, "Does there be a car transportation if you are the mayor? If you think so, I can only tell you that your idea is wrong. To be honest, since I got here, I have never taken a car except for going to the city for business. But this is also good. I ride a bicycle and feels quite good. It's so environmentally friendly and can exercise. Do you think? But then again, what's the matter with you looking for me?"

A very interesting mayor.

Su Mu knew that a mayor of a level as Pan Xingming would not be difficult if he used a car.

Even if there is no bus available, it should be easy to drive a car in private. Who would have thought that he would just ride a bicycle over? The most important thing is that his attitude is so natural, as if this kind of thing is normal.

Su Mu could see that he did not lie, but because he did not lie, he felt that Pan Xingming was upright and respectable.

"Can you tell me about the clan concepts of Huyang Town?" Su Mu said with a smile.

"Tell me about it?"

Pan Xingming glanced up and down at Su Mu, his face turned a little strange. "What are you doing? Why do you ask me? Why do I tell you? Even if I have nothing to do, there is no need to discuss this topic with you."

Very normal ideas, very normal theories.

Don’t say that Pan Xingming is still the mayor, even if he is not the mayor, it is impossible that what if Su Mu says he wants me to do, why?

When facing a stranger who is just a one-time encounter, why do I have to talk to you heartily about something irrelevant? If you really have any important identity, you must let me know. I think there is no such thing in the world. Whatever you say is, I have to completely obey.

Not to mention that Su Mu doesn't look very old. He is also easy-going in his words and demeanors, unlike those officials who are full of posture, so Pan Xingming can't raise any interest either.

At this moment, Pan Xingming secretly regretted it, why did he come here by chance?

Although Su Mu could tolerate this kind of attitude of Pan Xingming, Guo Fu, who was standing on the side, had already frowned, "Pan Xingming, do you know why you can only be the mayor now? Do you know why you, the mayor, have been suppressed by Ma Wentao? Don't say that this is Huyang Town. It is the world of the Ma family. Even if this is not Huyang Town, you may not be able to withstand Ma Wentao based on your personality. I really doubt, are you the mayor? If you were the mayor, how could you not know who the person standing in front of you?"

Su Mu held his hands behind his back, smiled and said nothing, and did not blame Guo Fu for his joking words.

Pan Xingming was shocked by Guo Fu's strong attitude, because the aura emitted by Guo Fu was even more powerful than the magnificent of the leaders of Yangguan County. This surprised Pan Xingming, and he didn't know what was going on. And why did Guo Fu focus on the person in front of him? Could it be that he has any special identities?

After thinking of this, Pan Xingming looked at Su Mu seriously. Don’t say that the more he looked at him, the more frightened he felt.

Could it be?

A person's name suddenly popped out of his mind. Then the appearance in his impression overlapped with the person in front of him. Pan Xingming's heart tensed up. His eyes were locked in Su Mu, and he asked in disbelief: "Can you... be Mayor Su?"

"Isn't it stupid?" Su Mu smiled.

"You... are you really... Mayor Su?" Pan Xingming suddenly felt at a loss and couldn't even speak.

"What? Can someone dare to pretend to be me? Or I dare not admit my identity in front of you, Mayor Pan." Su Mu couldn't help but joke.

"No, it's not like that. I just didn't expect you to be here. I really didn't think about that. Now when I look closely, I will definitely not admit my mistake. You are really Mayor Su, I... I'm so excited." Pan Xingming shouted excitedly. At this moment, he was like a child who suddenly got a beloved thing, and he had the demeanor of a leader of a town.

"So can you tell me now?" Su Mu asked.

"Of course." Pan Xingming took a few deep breaths, controlled his excitement in front of him, and his eyes looking at Su Mu changed into a kind of admiration full of awe.

I really didn't know who Su Mu was before, and he really didn't think that the person in front of him would be the mayor. In fact, this is normal. The so-called darkness under the lamp is what it means. For ordinary people, even if the governor suddenly stands in front of him, even if they know who the governor is, they will probably treat him as an ordinary person, and will not think of being the governor.

This confirms the simplest path. In the county, those people fear the county party secretary and county magistrate. No one is really afraid of the mayor, because they all know that the mayor is too far away. It is better to be in charge of the county magistrate now, and this is the simple truth.

"Mayor, since you ask about the clan concept of Huyang Town, I believe you must have some understanding of this situation. To be honest, I have a deep feeling about the clan power here. It makes me helpless. If you think that I, the mayor, are unqualified, I will have no complaints. I really have no choice. No matter how you do this, I cannot do anything, and I cannot leave Huyang Town of the town government. To be honest, I am already at the end of my life and have no choice." After saying this, Pan Xingming's face was full of bitterness, as if he had finally found an organization, and he couldn't help but tell all the grievances in his heart.

Su Mu listened calmly. Ye Xi and the others did not get off the car. Knowing that Su Mu had something to do, they just waited silently.

"When I first arrived in Huyang Town, I never thought that there would be such a serious and strong clan concept here. So I had a lot of trouble and encountered a lot of embarrassment and passiveness. For example, a clerk who was lazy in the town government and made mistakes was ordered to be fired by me, he went to work in the town party committee office the next day, and his position was better than being in the town government. After seeing me, he not only did not respect me, but instead showed off a disdainful contempt. He said in front of me that no one in Huyang Town dared to show him his face. If it weren't for the fact that I was the mayor, I would have to be nice. Mayor. Can you imagine what I was feeling at that time?" When Pan Xingming said this, he felt like he was thinking about the scene at that time, and his mood was still difficult to calm down.

"Didn't you ask the town party committee for an explanation?" Su Mu frowned slightly and asked.

"Of course I went there. How could I not go when I encountered such a thing? I personally asked Ma Wentao. But you know what he said to me. He said that the guy just made a small mistake. It's not a big deal, there is no need to exaggerate it to such a serious point. Then he asked that person to apologize to me in front of me. Even if this matter is over, you don't know how angry I was at that time, I even wanted to turn against Ma Wentao on the spot, but I finally held it back." Pan Xingming showed an unwilling expression on his face.

As the mayor, he can't even control the appointment of an ordinary clerk, which is really frustrating. Not to mention that that person made a mistake, being able to make Pan Xingming make that decision means that he deserves it. In this case, the result of the handling was actually pushed to Gao Sheng, and no one could bear it.

"Continue." Su Mu said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

If the clan concept only exists in towns and is only used by the people, his resistance will be very weak, but if such concepts have spread to the officialdom, Su Mu will feel a sense of vigilance.

This kind of sign is unsuccessful, because if you indulge this clan concept to spread wildly in the officialdom, a vested interest group will form. This group is the most likely to have problems in the officialdom and must be eliminated.

"To be honest, any town party committee and government will not be as weird as Huyang Town. There are almost no people with foreign surnames here, and those with Ma surnames occupy the mainstream here. In my town government alone, the three deputy town mayors are all surnamed Ma, not to mention that the number of members of the town party committee is even more amazing. These people only listen to Ma Wentao's words, but he is determined by his fate. All I can do is make a faint sound in the town government. Even this depends on Ma Wentao's mood."

"I also want to do things, and I also want to really achieve something, but when I reported my difficulties to the Yangguan County Party Committee and County Government, what was the answer they gave? They said that I could use my brain to solve the difficulties myself, and ask me not to find any objective reasons, and to understand the use of subjective initiative to solve the problem. I am already proactive and active enough, but no matter how proactive or active it is, no one listens to me. Is it useless to do it alone? It is purely useless work."

"Huyang Town is a town with frequent foreign population movements. There are often some disputes here. However, as long as the Ma family is involved, whether they are reasonable or unreasonable, they will win in the end. As long as there is a quarrel, they will cheat people. Huyang Town used to be a relatively simple folk custom, and it was the place where outsiders like to come to do business. However, in recent years, fewer and fewer people are willing to come here to do business. In addition to those who still stay here, fewer people are willing to come here and be bullied by their Ma family. This is a big place, so why not go? Who has to come here to suffer after eating enough?"

...

All the pieces are shocking.
