Yantai County.

In the Municipal Party Committee Compound, many people stared dumbfounded at Xie Huilan, who had lost her temper.

On the telephone, Zheng Shizhang was stunned when Xie Huilan retorted his first sentence. He slammed the table hard, "What's with Yantai County's attitude!?"

The sound was so loud that people several meters away could hear it.

Xie Huilan curled the corners of her lips, a smile hiding a knife, "What's our attitude? I still want to ask what the City's attitude is! Mayor Zheng, this matter is too unfair to our Yantai County, isn't it? Dafeng County contacted Xinhua News Agency reporters some time ago to stir up trouble in our county! Then they snatched a signing project that we had already verbally agreed upon! And then they faked a fall and wrongly accused our county's cadres! Making our Comrades almost dismissed! We didn't say anything once, twice, three times, four times! I want to ask! What are you trying to do?"

"I already explained this matter very clearly to the City! The relevant personnel have also been dealt with!" Zheng Shizhang patted the table loudly, "What I'm asking now is why the people from your Investment Bureau went to Dafeng County! What is the Investment Conference? It carries a political mission! Your County 'Government' is quite eloquent?"

Xie Huilan smiled sarcastically, "Since the City doesn't think there's a problem with Dafeng County coming to our county to attract investment, how come there's a problem when our people go to Dafeng County? During the signing, Dafeng County swaggered past our door with our investors! Leaving our people all out in the cold! Isn't that a political issue? Our people haven't even done anything in Dafeng County, and it's already become a political issue?"

Zheng Shizhang was annoyed by her retort, "You're also an old Party member! Is that all the awareness you have?"

"The City only criticizes our Yantai County, but turns a blind eye to Dafeng County's faults. Forgive me for being disrespectful, Mayor Zheng, this isn't a question of whether Xie Huilan has awareness or not, it's not a question of whether Yantai County has awareness or not, where is your awareness?"

These words were too harsh, and the compound was silent for a moment, everyone staring at Xie Huilan in astonishment.

Even Hu Silian gasped, not expecting that the always calm County Chief Xie would directly question Mayor Zheng's awareness on the telephone.

Wow!

County Chief Xie is really losing it!

Zheng Shizhang was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You're even criticizing me!?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare."

"Wouldn't dare? Yantai County is good! I see there's nothing you wouldn't dare to do! You even dare to question the City? Good! Good!" After saying this, Zheng Shizhang slammed down the telephone and hung up!

Beep beep beep, Xie Huilan heard this and calmly put away her phone.

The way everyone in the County Party Committee Compound looked at Xie Huilan had changed. An event that was about to be concluded was upgraded to a political event by County Chief Xie's words. Confronting a City leader? Questioning Deputy Mayor Zheng's awareness? This was no small matter! Even if Zheng Shizhang was just a Deputy Mayor in charge of investment promotion work! But he was still a City leader! He also had prestige in the City! How could he tolerate a County Chief's questioning?

Something was going to happen!

Something big was going to happen!

Xie Huilan and Hu Silian returned to the County Chief's Office.

As soon as they entered the room, Hu Silian closed the door, hesitating, "County Chief Hui Lan..." She felt it was a bit inappropriate, County Chief Xie's outburst would inevitably allow her political enemies to seize on her weaknesses.

But Xie Huilan said something even more shocking, "Hu, how's the investigation into that 'Strong Tea' teahouse going?"

Hu Silian was stunned, didn't you already know?, "It was investigated this morning, the fire safety and hygiene are not up to standard, there are many problems, a fine has already been imposed, but the province..."

Xie Huilan looked at her, "Fire safety can't be rectified in a day or two, and hygiene can't be improved just by cleaning up, is a fine enough? Who will be responsible to the people if something happens? Call the Health Bureau and the Fire Brigade! Seal it up!"

Seal it up? Hu Silian's face turned green, "County Chief, this..."

Xie Huilan waved her hand, "Do it immediately, if anyone has any questions about Yantai County's law enforcement methods, let them call me!"

Was she even going to disregard the Provincial Leader's Secretary's face? Hu Silian couldn't say anything more, took a breath, and went to make the call immediately. This matter also made her see clearly that County Chief Xie was truly someone who didn't lose her temper easily, but when she did, it was earth-shattering.

As soon as she left, Xie Huilan grabbed the telephone and dialed a number, "Hello, Aunt."

A mature woman's voice came from the other end of the Telephone, "Hehe, is that Hui Lan?"

"How's your health lately? Your uncle and I didn't go back to Beijing for the New Year. I heard you had a sore throat? The Old Master is thinking about you, always mentioning it."

Xie Guoyue laughed, "I'm fine now. My uncle is busy with work. There were some issues in the province during the New Year. Maybe May Day, we'll definitely go back then." After a pause, she chuckled and said, "I heard from my sister-in-law that you're seeing someone? And someone much younger? Hehe, I haven't met him yet, which is quite surprising. I always thought that even if this girl dated, she'd go for someone in their thirties or forties."

Xie Huilan smiled and said, "I'll bring him to meet you next time."

"Alright, I'll give him a once-over then. It doesn't matter if I don't approve."

"Even if you don't approve, you'll have to. If you give our Xuebin a bad face when you meet him, I can't promise anything, hehe..."

"A girl always turns outward, all that time spent on you was wasted!"

After a few words of small talk, Xie Guoyue suddenly said, "Alright, you're calling your aunt for something, right?"

"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony?" Xie Huilan laughed, "Originally, when I came down to Yantai County, I was thinking of observing for half a year first, to steadily feel out the relationships in various areas. After all, I'm new here, and only by understanding the situation can I open things up easily. But now, some people have been messing with our county repeatedly, again and again, which is too disrespectful to us. If I remain stable any longer, I won't be able to carry out my work in the future, right?"

Xie Guoyue shook her head with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want your aunt to do?"

"The vice Mayor of our Fenzhou City, Zheng Shizhang, has a son named Zheng Jie, who opened a company in your Dongshan Province under a friend's name. The business is doing quite well, hehe, should we take him down a peg?"

"How much?"

"You decide, as long as it shuts Zheng Shizhang up."

"Okay, I understand. I'll let your uncle know."

"Thank you, Auntie, and give my regards to my uncle."

After hanging up the Telephone, Xie Huilan looked at her watch and made another Telephone call to Xiang Daofa, "Hello, Xiang..." The Power of Time and Wealth 438

Near Huamei District.

Fragrant Tea House.

Peng Kenong received the news in the morning that the tea house had been sealed off. After calling Li Feng for help, he rushed back to Yantai County. At this moment, he was drinking tea face-to-face with the round-faced Boss in the tea house. Knowing that the Health Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau had removed the Seals, Peng Kenong was relieved and felt that his decision to invest in Dafeng County was correct. County Chief Li's energy is extraordinary, and a Telephone call solved the problem.

The round-faced Boss said with a worried expression, "Old Peng, although this time has passed, and the fine is within our acceptable range, what if Yantai County does it again next time..."

"It won't happen." Peng Kenong laughed, "The secretary of the provincial leader has spoken, Yantai County wouldn't dare to do anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of screeching brakes rang out at the door.

The people from the Health Bureau and the Fire Brigade actually came again!

Before Peng Kenong could react, the other party rushed in aggressively and started kicking people out, ignoring whatever Peng Kenong said. Once the place was empty, several Seals were slapped on the tea house door.

"What are you doing!" Peng Kenong said angrily.

One of the Fire Brigade people glanced at him, "What are we doing? Can't you read the words on the Seal? Quickly widen the fire escape! Otherwise, don't even think about reopening!"

"You..." Peng Kenong was stunned. What's going on? You dare not give face to the secretary of the provincial leader?

The people from the Health Bureau and the Fire Brigade were not polite at all. They were just carrying out the orders from above. On this matter, they listened to what County Chief Xie had just communicated with Xiang. As for what they said, no one knew. Anyway, the County Party Committee and the County Chief seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. In this situation, the two put aside their differences and chose to unite against the outside world. Therefore, the county leaders had set the tone, and the people below naturally carried it out very firmly. What City connections? What secretary of the provincial leader? Screw that! That's too far away from them, why bother with that? Anyway, if something happens, the county leaders will take the blame!

Things seem to be getting bigger and bigger!

Xie Huilan's series of actions immediately caused an uproar in the county. Everyone realized for the first time that County Chief Xie, who usually smiled at everyone... was so ruthless when she initiated a fire!

But just when everyone thought that the matter was impossible to end, Zheng Shizhang's side went silent!

No one knew what had happened, but some people heard that Mayor Zheng seemed to have made another Telephone call to County Chief Xie near the end of his workday, and then... there was no news from the City. No one mentioned Director Dong's trip to the Dafeng County Investment Conference again, and they strangely fell into an atmosphere of silence!

It's over?

It just fizzled out like that?

Everyone felt unbelievable. Was this County Chief Xie's energy?

Huang Li of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was the only one who knew about the Romantic Relationship between Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin. After hearing about this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Good heavens, Dong was causing trouble in Dafeng County, and Hui Lan was getting angry with Yantai County. These two were really a couple, cooperating so well!

Is a hooligan scary? Not scary!

What if a hooligan knows martial arts? Still not scary!

But what's really scary is a hooligan who knows martial arts and has a backer! Huang Li felt that Dong was just such a person now! With Hui Lan bombarding the City leaders in Yantai County to withstand all the pressure for him, how could this be okay? Who knew if Dong, without any scruples, would turn Dafeng County upside down?

Huang Li patted his forehead.

Li Feng, Li Feng, why did you have to provoke Dong when you were full? Weren't you just asking for trouble!?
