Everyone quickly got up and left. Stephen started to feel hungry, having hardly eaten anything all day, and he had not had enough rest either. After making a call to request the profiles of the deputy mayor and mayor of other cities, he left to fill his stomach.
By the time he was back at his place, the information was delivered. Stephen quickly read through the profiles, and after reviewing each one, he found that only Breeze City’s deputy mayor, Nolan Spencer, was a suitable candidate. He had served as deputy mayor there for twenty years, and Breeze City boasted a GDP of three trillion!
“His management experience must be extensive. Hill City really needs someone with that kind of experience now.”
However, Stephen did not immediately choose Nolan as the mayor. He still needed to assess the situation further. With only himself to rely on, he could not afford to make any more mistakes!
Stephen instinctively took out his phone, wanting to call George to invite him to check out Breeze City together. However, the moment he unlocked his phone, he remembered that George was imprisoned.

“Sigh.” He had no choice but to call Joseph and ask the latter to accompany him. The plan was to go there tomorrow.
The next morning, Stephen had a simple breakfast before heading to Breeze City with Joseph. They finally met up with Nolan around noon. Nolan was a thin, middle–aged man with glasses, giving off a polished demeanor.
“I didn’t know you’d be visiting. Please excuse me for not welcoming you properly,” Nolan said to Stephen while shaking his hand.
Stephen replied, “That’s not important. I have some matters to discuss. Will it be convenient to talk at your place?”
Nolan quickly replied, “Yes, of course.”
Stephen arrived at Nolan’s house. Upon a closer look, he noticed that his house decor was not extravagant. He also asked Nolan’s neighbors and others in the same area about Nolan, and they all responded that he was a great person. It seemed like there was no scandal within his family either.
Then, Stephen went to Nolan’s workplace to enquire further. He asked everyone, from the mayor to the subordinates, and they confirmed that Nolan was a reliable man. Still not entirely at ease, Stephen decided to randomly ask a few people he encountered along the way for their opinions.
He found that people were quite unfamiliar with Nolan. Some even had no idea who he was and thought he was some celebrity. However, considering what he had heard about Nolan,

Stephen concluded that he focused solely on his job without seeking fame, which explained why people did not recognize him.
After confirming that there were no issues with Nolan, Stephen made up his mind to appoint him as Hill City’s new mayor.
When Nolan heard that he was going to be the mayor, he was shocked. He had been the deputy mayor for twenty years and thought that he would no longer get the chance to become mayor, but the opportunity struck so unexpectedly.
Although he was appointed to take over as mayor of Hill City, and despite the city’s GDP having dropped to half of what it was, Nolan did not mind since he had support backing him
Stephen gave Nolan a few days to prepare himself, hoping Nolan could arrive in Hill City as soon as possible. After sending them off at the airport, Nolan took out his phone in the car and made a call.
“Bro, I’m going to be the mayor of Hill City.”
A voice on the other end responded, “Really?”
“Yes, Stephen came to assess me and confirmed that I’m suitable.”
“That’s great! I’ll consult Father first,” the other party replied.
Nolan then hung up.
Meanwhile, in a mansion, a man who resembled Nolan rushed to the living room. In the living room sat an elderly man in his seventies. His hair was all grey, but his eyes were still brimming with life.
The man said, “Dad, Nolan called to tell us that he’s been transferred to Hill City as the mayor.
“Hmm?” The elderly man’s gaze sharpened. “Has Ethan set his sight on us?”
