"How's it going? Have you eaten?"
"not so good..."
In Wangyue Tower, Chen Yao, who had not eaten more than two bites, took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, speaking in a neutral tone.
On the side, Ruirui and others were enjoying themselves...
"The taste is quite different from before. Maybe my taste has become picky..."
"No, since Boss Nola left and Wangyue Tower was taken over by Juling Pavilion, the taste of the food here is indeed not as good as before."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. In short... as long as we find Mayor Dadik and settle the overdue taxes, the merchants in Shenmu Town can continue to open their doors?"
Chen Yao waved his hand and changed the topic.
"That's true, but many residents of the town have already left. Even if the owed taxes are paid off,..."
"Then I don't care. Anyway, I'm only responsible for settling those tax arrears, and I'll leave the rest to you, okay? Don't tell me you can't solve it!"
Chen Yao leaned back on his seat, put his hands behind his head and spoke lazily.
"Okay, I'll try my best..."
"Okay, are you done eating? Leave when you're done."
"Brother Chenyao, we've all eaten!"
Rarity wiped her mouth, and the other recruits who followed also nodded...
"Boss, settle the score!"
"Dear Mr. Chen Yao, there are 3 gold coins and 16 silver coins in total. Our boss has said that this meal is his treat for you!"
The waiter on the side stepped forward respectfully...
"It's not easy for you to open a store and do business. I've accepted my wishes. There are so many, so there's no need to look for them!"
Four gold-bound coins were slapped on the table, and then Chen Yao stood up and prepared to leave. The others hurriedly followed...
"Ouch! Thank you! Come again next time!"
After leaving Wangyue Tower, several recruits thanked them and hurried home, leaving Ruirui alone.
"Rarity, please follow me first, and we will go back to the village together later."
"Okay, Brother Chenyao."
After a while, several people arrived in front of the mayor's residence. Further ahead was the restricted area of Shenmu Town. However, the people on duty outside the restricted area were ordinary guards. It seemed that the elite garrison team led by Plath had indeed left...
"Brother Siwen, aren't you the one who sent people to guard the hub and temple?"
"Well...that's right, Chenxing has taken back all the garrisoned troops, including the two temple guards. Now I am responsible for managing the security of the entire town."
"Isn't that good? Hehe, now you are the boss of Shenmu Town?"
"Okay? What a fart! If anything goes wrong between the temple and the hub, once the blame comes from above, half of my life will be lost!!!"
"Okay, it's getting late, let's not talk about this anymore..."
Without further chatting, Chen Yao took three steps and then two steps. He reached the office on the second floor without any obstruction and kicked open the wooden door of the office!
"Ha! Mayor Dadik, it's been such a long time!"
Babad Dadik was frightened by the movement and stood up in panic. However, after seeing clearly that the person coming was Chen Yao, the expression on his face instantly changed from sullen to respectful...
"Oh! Isn't this the great hero Chen Yao! When did you come back?"
"I just returned to the town not long ago. Today, I am here to help you settle the taxes owed by the residents of the town..."
As he spoke, Chen Yao sat down on the sofa and raised his legs directly to the tea table. He looked so arrogant.
On the other hand, Mayor Dadik, who was opposite, not only did not show any displeasure on his face, he did not even dare to sit down. Once upon a time, Chen Yao had the same restless posture when facing the mayor...
"Sit down, Mayor, don't be too restrained. Just tell me how much tax all the residents of Shenmu Town owe in total."
"Okay! I'll do the calculation right away!"
Babad Dadik quickly took out a thick account book from under the office cabinet, and hurriedly picked up a pen to make calculations on the paper...
"Don't be in a hurry. Calculate slowly, oh. By the way, you can also calculate how much tax you need to pay per month based on the number of residents in previous years and the current tax rate."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
"Well, I'll wait for you."
"What are you doing standing here? Come, sit down and drink tea!"
The mayor was sweating profusely, but Chen Yao was leisurely using a tea set to make tea for several people...
................................................................. ....
Half an hour later, Mayor Dadik let out a long sigh and put down the pen in his hand.
"Mr. Chen Yao, I have already calculated that there are 36,74 people in Shenmu Town who have unpaid taxes, and the total amount of taxes owed is... 257,690 Six gold-binding coins. In addition, the average monthly tax of Shenmu Town is 27,000 gold-binding coins. This is a detailed account book. Please take a look at it..."
"Okay, okay, no need to show it to me, I believe you!"
Chen Yao pushed away the account book handed over by the mayor with a somewhat impatient look. The dense numbers and calculation formulas on it made Chen Yao's head hurt...
"Yun Xi, is there any money in the business card I gave you before?"
"Well, 90,000 red bird coins are all in there."
Qiu Yunxi took out the Tianji Pavilion special business card and placed it lightly on the table...
"Huh? Didn't I tell you to spend it casually???"
"You have taken good care of us and even arranged where to go. Do you think we will be short of money?" Qiu Yunxi held up his head and gave Chen Yao a roll of his eyes...
"This...is true."
Chen Yao touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, then picked up the business card between his two fingers and casually handed it out to Mayor Dadik beside him.
"Here! There are 90,000 red bird coins in here. You can use it first, and leave the rest to Brother Siwen. Is that okay?"
"completely fine!"
Mayor Dadik took the business card with slightly trembling hands. Calculated, there were a total of 450,000 gold coins in it! This is the financial revenue of Shenmu Town for nearly ten years! Chen Yao handed it over to him without blinking...
After thinking about it, he felt relieved again. After all, this guy dared to confront the ruler of Chenxing head-on. Everyone in Noah continent knew him, and he was a legendary existence like a god!
"That's it. If anything happens in the future, just ask Brother Siwen to tell me!"
"Yes, yes, great hero Chen Yao, on behalf of all the residents of Shenmu Town, I would like to thank you for your generous assistance again..."
"Stop flattering, okay, okay, let's go!"
Chen Yao waved his hand, and everyone immediately followed Chen Yao and left the mayor's residence, leaving only Babad Dadik standing there with a complicated expression...
"well..."
After the sigh, there was silence...
