Power and Wealth Chapter 478 -Someone is creating trouble?!

Chapter 478 – Someone is creating trouble?!

Next morning.

The County Party Committee family quarters. Xiang Daofa’s home.

Xiang Daofa had received calls about the investment fair’s success since yesterday. After hanging up his call with County Party Committee Office Director Liao Yanshan, he sat down at the dining table in a bad mood. He does not have the appetite to take his breakfast. He wants the fair to be successful, but he is troubled. He can get credit if it is successful. Still, his reputation will be further affected because he had interfered with the County Government.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Xiang Renjie asked.

Xiang Daofa looks at him. “It’s none of your business.”

“Is it that Dong…”

“Enough! Pack your luggage and return to Beijing!”

Xiang Renjie had heard about what happened with the investment fair, and his father is angry over it. He is still furious with Dong Xuebing over his dog. He decides to take revenge against Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan before returning to Beijing. You two had made my family suffer?! I will not allow that!

……

Many people had seen what happened at the investment fair’s opening ceremony and knows Secretary Xiang had lost to Mayor Xie by a lot.

But many people felt there’s no way for Xiang Daofa to avoid this defeat.

The County’s Party Committee, County Government, and the Investment Promotion Agency had given Jia Yan full support, but he screwed it up. Chief Dong only used a few hours to turn things around and got around 100 investors to attend the fair. He also managed to persuade Park Yongxi to continue their negotiation about his investment. He even invited a tycoon like Mu Zhengzhong over. Everyone failed, but things turned around after Chief Xiao Dong took over.

This is his capabilities!

Many Yan Tai County staff will question Chief Xiao Dong’s political wisdom. But no one will doubt his capabilities. He showed everyone his capabilities when he was with the Public Security Bureau and the Investment Promotion Agency. No one is more capable than him at work!

The Investment Promotion Agency without Dong Xuebing had returned to square one overnight, explaining many things.

Secretary Xiang had shot himself in his foot this time.

…….

One hour later.

The entrance of the Investment Promotion Agency.

Dong Xuebing looked at the two big buses by the roadside and said to Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, and the rest. “Stay alert, and don’t let your guards down. Mayor Xie and the County Government are pleased with the number of investors, but I want you all to know that this is not over. Our mission is to get investors to invest in our projects! That’s all I have to say. Alright, let’s go to the hotel to pick them. Mayor Xie and Mayor Zhao will be accompanying the investors and us around the investment sites this morning!”

Everyone is motivated and got onto the bus to go to Xiang Yi Hotel.

Today is the first day of the investment fair, and they will be visiting many important projects this morning. There will also be cameramen following them to film for the local TV station’s news.

At 9 am, the buses and a few County Government vehicles drove out of the hotel.

Dong Xuebing, Xie Huilan and Hu Silian are in a Passat.

Xie Huilan smiles. “Is Master Park’s investment confirmed? What about Mr. Mu’s?”

“Master Park should not be a problem.” Dong Xuebing replied. “We still have not finalized Teacher Mu’s investment, but I will speak to him these few days.”

Xie Huilan nodded. “Other than these, you must take note of the investors’ safety too. Nothing must go wrong during this period.”

“I understand.” Dong Xuebing saw the driver, Old Yan, and Hu Silian is looking in front, and he secretly held Xie Huilan’s hand.

Xie Huilan smiled and did not pull back her hand.

Dong Xuebing knows what Xie Huilan means. This period is crucial, and nothing must go wrong. Xiang Daofa will not accept defeat easily, and who knows if he might create some problems for the investment fair. Although Dong Xuebing felt Xiang Daofa might not do that, he must take precautions against him. What if he decided to mess up the fair to prevent Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing from getting the credit?!

That will cross the line if Xiang Daofa does that.

When Dong Xuebing is thinking about all these, Old Yan suddenly applied emergency brakes. The car jerked and stopped.

What happened?”

Dong Xuebing looks up and saw a Corona had cut in front of their car.

As they are the first car, both buses behind had to brake hard to prevent colliding into them.

Old Yan’s face changed, and he almost swore. But Mayor Xie is seated behind him, and the investors and TV station’s staff are in the buses behind. He knows he cannot step out to scold the driver in front and can only press on the horn.

The Corolla in front ignored and continued to drive slowly in front of the Passat.

This is a narrow road, and with the Corolla hogging the road, everyone had to move at a snail’s pace. It was until a truck overtook them, the Passat can change lanes and follow behind. Both buses also quickly follow them.

Why does this car look so familiar?

Dong Xuebing remembered he had seen this car outside of the County Party Committee quarters.

He suddenly remembered that this car belongs to Xiang Renjie’s classmates, and they had sent Xiang Renjie and his dog back to the quarters before! Dong Xuebing turns and looks at the car. Both the driver and the front passenger are in their early twenties, and one of them is using the phone and laughing.

Damn! They are trying to disrupt the investment fair!

Dong Xuebing immediately says. “That is Secretary Xiang’s son’s friend’s car.”

Xie Huilan looks forward calmly. “Maybe that was coincident.”

Dong Xuebing does not believe it was a coincidence. Yan Tai County might not be big, but why did they appear on the fair and even cut into their lane on the first day?

Hu Silian is also looking terrible. How can they drive this way? What are they trying to do? Did they do this purposely?

Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and looked at the bus. Luo Haiting, Sun Shuli, and some investors got a fright. Lin Pingping, who was explaining the investment projects to the investors, was standing and had fallen due to the sudden braking. She is holding her arm and seems injured.

…….

Inside the Toyota Corolla.

A young man is laughing into the phone. “Renjie, we had cut in front of them, and someone even fell. Hahaha…”

“Good.” Xiang Renjie, who is on the other line, is pleased. “Do that again later.”

“Oh, the Mayor is in one of the cars. Is this alright?”

“Don’t worry. My father is the Party Secretary and is the No. 1 in the County. Furthermore, you all had not committed any crimes. At most, it is some traffic offenses. If anyone dares to find trouble with you all, I will ask my father to take care of them.” Xiang Renjie is purposely trying to create trouble for Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing. “Just go ahead and scare them. It would be best if you all can scare the investors away. Haha… I will treat you all to dinner at Shangri-La when this is over.”

“Alright. I have always wanted to go there!”

……

9.40 am.

The convoy had arrived at the first investment site. It is a real estate project.

Xie Huilan patted Dong Xuebing’s hand when he saw his angry expression. “Tell me briefly about this project.”

Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger. “This project was started by the Agency last year and is projected to be completed next year. The total investment is around 80 million….”

Dong Xuebing was interrupted, and Old Yan cursed!

Screeched! The Passat had to brake hard again! Old Yan had to brake and stop the car along the road outside of the construction site!

Hu Silian, seated in the front passenger seat, had a seatbelt on, and she is not hurt. But Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan are seated in the rear, and she knocks her head against the front seat’s headrest. She almost knocked her chin onto it. Dong Xuebing also felt an impact against his chest!

Dong Xuebing looks up and saw that Corolla was cutting into their lane diagonally!

It’s the same car again! They had cut in more dangerously this time, and the buses behind all had to brake hard!

Lin Pingping, who is on the first bus, and Jiang Hailiang, who is on the second bus, fell. Luo Haiting almost knocked into a metal pole in the bus. Many investors had almost knocked their heads against the seats in front. Some started scolding.

“How can they drive like this??!”

“What is wrong with that Corolla?! They had cut in front of us twice! Are they doing this on purpose?!”

“Is the security so poor here? They even dare to cut in front of the Mayor?!”

A few investors frowned. This speaks a lot about the County. The Mayor does not command respect from the people, and that Corolla even cut into the front of her twice on purpose. How can the investment environment in this County be good? The security is too poor! Some investors started to have second thoughts about investing here.

The Corolla stopped in the middle of the road. Both the driver and passenger turned laughed at the convoy behind them before driving off.

Xie Huilan’s face changed!

Dong Xuebing is furious and immediately calls the Public Security Bureau’s Deputy Chief Qin Yong. He is in charge of the Traffic Department.

These bastards! You all are seeking death!
