Watching Wang Jianping’s departing figure, Director Hao knew his career had co to an end.
However, he couldn’t understand how Wang Jianping had connections with the City Party Secretary. If he had known this, even with a hundred tis the courage, he wouldn’t have dared to cause trouble here.
The person who had given him the orders indeed had an extraordinary identity, but compared to the City Party Secretary and the Provincial Committee’s Standing Committee, there was a significant difference.
With no other choice, Director Hao could only call the director, hoping there was still room to smooth things over.
As the call connected, the director, who was being treated at another restaurant by the owner, said impatiently, "What is it? Speak quickly."
Director Hao’s voice trembled as he said, "Director Zheng, we have a problem here."
Upon hearing this, Director Zheng responded coldly, "Aren’t you handling things for Director Li? If there’s a problem, go find him. Don’t bother ."
Director Hao replied, "Zheng... Director Zheng, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely follow your lead from now on."
Director Zheng, hearing Director Hao’s words, felt quite pleased and said, "If you had been this sensible earlier, wouldn’t that have been better? Now tell , what problem have you encountered?"
Director Hao hesitated but eventually said, "Secretary He wants you to co."
"Secretary He? That..." Director Zheng was about to say ’that Secretary He’ but suddenly rembered that in the entire East River, only the City Party Secretary, He Jianguo, was referred to as ’Secretary He’.
"Fuck! You pissed off Secretary He, and now you rember to have wipe your ass? Are you trying to ruin ?" At this mont, Director Zheng cursed without any regard for his image.
Enduring the scolding, Director Hao said, "Director Zheng, I know I was wrong, but Secretary He personally instructed you to co and told to tell you if you can’t get there within fifteen minutes, you should go to him tomorrow and resign."
"Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier? Just wait for ; if today is bad for , then you’re dead," Director Zheng said, then hastily grabbed his clothes and ran without another word.
Poor Director Zheng, with his weight of over a hundred and sixty or seventy pounds, had to run like a sprinter.
Once in his car, Director Zheng finally cald down slightly.
"This matter wasn’t my instruction; it doesn’t really involve . At most, I could be considered negligent. If I admit my mistake proactively, they should still be lenient. Moreover, if I handle this occasion well, I might even be able to disparage my opponent." Director Zheng, truly a slick operator, had quickly thought through all his strategies in a mont.
After arriving at the restaurant, Director Zheng ran directly to the private room, entering without bothering to knock.
"Secretary He, I... I’ve arrived," Director Zheng said, breathlessly.
He Jianguo frowned and said coldly, "Go out and wait for ."
On hearing this, Director Zheng hurriedly exited with respect. Wang Lei’s father had soone lead Director Zheng to another room.
As the City Party Secretary and a mber of the Provincial Committee’s Standing Committee, it was naturally not possible for He Jianguo to et him just because he ca. The longer the delay, the more afraid Director Zheng would beco, and the less he would dare to hide anything.
"Zheng... Director Zheng!" Seeing that Director Zheng had arrived, Director Hao quickly approached him with a trembling voice.
"It’s all your fucking fault; having co here to clean up your ss. Tomorrow you better get lost yourself and never let see you again," Director Zheng said, no longer caring about his image, having offended the City Party Secretary, which was no trivial matter.
Director Hao, hearing Director Zheng’s words, turned pale and said, "Director Zheng, I know I was wrong. I will listen to anything you say from now on. Please help this ti. I have old folks and children at ho; they all rely on ."
Watching Director Hao begging before him, Director Zheng felt a surge of satisfaction, but his expression remained cold as he said, "So you want to stay, do you? Then you should know what to say when Secretary He cos later."
Upon hearing this, Director Hao hesitated and stamred, "I... I..."
Director Zheng gave a cold command, "Since you’re so hesitant, I won’t force you. When Secretary He arrives, I’ll take the initiative to admit my oversight, as for the rest of you, you’re on your own."
"Director Zheng, we’ll tell! We’ll tell!" Those who ca with Director Hao hurriedly gave in upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Director Hao steeled his heart and said, "Director Zheng, I know what to say now."
Director Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good!"
On Jianguo’s side, the al was nearly finished, and he stood up and said to everyone, "Dad, uncle, I’m going to handle those people first."
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Go ahead, Jianguo, you have matters to attend to."
"Yes, uncle!"
Seeing the City Party Secretary being so respectful to Chu Feng, Wang Lei’s family was stunned.
"Everyone continue, there’s still so much food left, please don’t waste it, waste is the biggest cri," Chu Feng said.
With the City Party Secretary present, Wang Lei’s family dared not even move their chopsticks.
He Zhen also smiled and said, "Now that the boy has left, don’t be shy, let’s all eat together."
"Then I won’t be polite, I haven’t had a full al in days." Xiao Pang has been so hungry his eyes were turning blue; with one issue after another at ho these past few days, he hadn’t had the heart to eat.
"Put down!" Wang Lei’s father commanded in fright with a loud yell.
Startled by his father’s shout, Wang Lei hurriedly dropped a crab back on the plate.
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Uncle, look how Wang Lei will turn from Xiao Pang to thin soon if he keeps starving. Let him eat. Don’t stand on ceremony, all of you."
Wang Lei’s father said, "Since your boss lets you eat, then eat."
Actually, Wang Lei’s father now didn’t quite know how to address Chu Feng.
Logically, since Chu Feng and his son were schoolmates, he should be a junior to him.
But since the City Party Secretary himself called him uncle and the Secretary’s father treated Chu Feng as an equal, calling Chu Feng a junior felt too daring. So after much thought, he could only resort to referring to him the way his son did – as boss.
Hearing this, Xiao Pang bead with joy and said, "It’s the boss who cares about ."
Then, swiftly, Xiao Pang peeled a crab and carefully scooped out the creamy roe and tender at into Xi Yun’s plate, saying, "Sorry to worry you, you should eat more to make up for it."
Chu Feng, seeing Xiao Pang was still the sa old Xiao Pang, couldn’t help feeling a burst of relief.
Seeing how sweetly Xiao Pang took care of her, Xi Yun’s pretty face turned a slight shade of red.
With Jianguo gone, everyone indeed relaxed a lot more.
An hour later, Jianguo ca back to the room, but his complexion didn’t look very good.
"What’s the matter, Jianguo? Is there sothing else going on here?" Chu Feng inquired.
