Power and Wealth

Afternoon.

Bolts of Lightning flashed across Da Feng County skies, and it looked like it will rain anytime.

"What is wrong with the weather? Why is it going to rain again?"

"Director Dong, what did Mayor Geng say before she left?"

"Mayor Geng is at the County Party Committee Building, and she asked us to wait for her call."

"Then let’s have lunch first. It’s quite late now."

"Alright. Let’s go."

It’s already past 1 pm, and Mayor Geng still has not called them. Nan Shan District staff can’t stand there and wait when it’s about to rain. So, they got into their cars and drove to a nearby restaurant.

When they were about to enter the restaurant, they saw a few men coming out.

A middle-aged man, walking in front of the group, saw them and stopped. "Oh, it’s Chief Dong."

Dong Xuebing thought for a second and replied. "Ah…. Chief Sun. It’s been a while."

The middle-aged man wearing a Police uniform is Da Feng Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief Sun Pengpeng. He was the one who got officers to tail Dong Xuebing during the investment fair.

Sun Pengpeng laughed. "Why didn’t you give me a call when you come to our Da Feng County? You should let me have the opportunity to play host."

Dong Xuebing laughed. "I don’t dare to bother you, Chief Sun. You are a busy man. Not only do you need to catch criminals and suspects, but you also need to catch our Nan Shan District’s investors. I shouldn’t bother you as you are so busy. Let’s chat again. I will surely let you give me a treat."

Sun Pengpeng had encountered Dong Xuebing previously, and his words provoked him further.

Nan Shan District staff held back their laughter as they looked at Dong Xuebing. They felt Director Dong was too sarcastic.

Ma Jian is speechless. From a certain perspective, she is impressed by Dong Xuebing’s ability to offend everyone he goes. His enemies seemed to be everywhere. He can even meet an enemy at a random restaurant in a neighboring County. This shows how many people he had offended.

Private room.

Ma Jian sat at the head of the table, and everyone started to eat when the dishes were served.

Everyone talks about the investors during lunch, but no one is talking

Secretary Wang Bo called Mayor Li Feng, who was in a meeting. He had switched off his phone earlier, and Wang Bo can only report to him now. "Mayor, I had just left the Investment Promotion Agency. Nan Shan District staff are here, and Dong Xuebing is with them."

Li Feng frowned. "Dong Xuebing from Yan Tai County?"

Wang Bo nodded. "He seemed to have been transferred to Nan Shan District as a Director. He is with them."

Dong Xuebing.

Li Feng will never forget this person. Dong Xuebing had snatched a 100-million RMB project from their investment fair. He doesn’t know about this incident, and it was the staff at the airport who made this decision. He saw the Japanese investors coming out of gates together, and Nan Shan District staff were not around. So, they tried their luck and asked the Japanese investors if they were willing to visit Da Feng County.

This decision made Geng Yuehua and Dong Xuebing come to Da Feng County.

Li Feng asked a few Leaders to welcome Geng Yuehua after hearing she was coming during his meeting. He wanted to let her wait for a while, but she stormed into the meeting room and sat there, reading a newspaper.

Despite Geng Yuehua not saying a word, the meeting can’t carry on with her around.

Geng Yuehua….

Dong Xuebing….

It is not easy to deal with these two people.

"Alright. Come back now and bring District Mayor to fetch the Investors." Li Feng said.

"Mayor, are we going to let them leave?"

"Just do what I said."

"I understand. I will come back immediately."

Li Feng is feeling helpless after hanging up. He wants to keep those investors in Da Feng, but Nan Shan District Mayor had come with the hooligan, Dong Xuebing. Suppose he refused to release those investors, who knows what trouble they will cause in his County. Furthermore, they can’t argue as they are in the wrong. He has to give Geng Yuehua ‘face’ after she comes personally.

Afternoon.

It finally started raining.

The rain is not as heavy as last night’s downpour, but it will last for quite a while.

Ma Jian, Pang Zhengyi, and the rest could not go anywhere in the rain, and they waited at the restaurant. At around 3 pm, they received a call from Mayor Geng.

"Come to Rui He Hotel."

Ma Jian replied. "Yes. We are on our way."

Ma Kian looked at everyone. "Mayor Geng asked us to go over now."

Everyone left without saying anything to Dong Xuebing. But he didn’t mind and followed them to the hotel he had stayed in previously.

Rui He Hotel lobby.

Ma Jian did not see Mayor Geng, and she gave her a call.

Dong Xuebing was the last to arrive. But the moment he steps into the lobby, all the hotel staff and crew recognized him."

"Hey, look at that guy."

"Isn’t he the one who caused trouble at the Investment Fair?"

"It’s him. I remember he had scolded our County Leader when he was here."

"That’s right. He still wrote a cheque to compensate someone he had beaten up. The Public Security Bureau didn’t dare to arrest him in the end."

"Why is he here again? Hurry up and inform the Manager. We have a lot of Japanese investors staying here. We cannot allow him to cause any trouble."

All the hotel staff becomes warily when Dong Xuebing arrives.

The lobby manager watched Dong Xuebing closely and asked his men to inform the higher-ups.

Dong Xuebing is speechless by their actions.

Ma Jian, Pang Zhengyi, and other Nan Shan District staff noticed the hotel staff’s reaction and were speechless again. Damn! This is how notorious Director Dong is!
