Xie Huilan Flies into a Rage!

Yantai County.

Inside the Municipal Party Committee Courtyard, many people stared dumbfounded at the enraged Xie Huilan.

On the phone, Zheng Shizhang froze when Xie Huilan shot back after just one sentence. With a bang, he slammed the table on the other end. "What kind of attitude is this from Yantai County!?"

His voice was so loud that even people several meters away could hear it.

Xie Huilan curled her lips, her smile hiding a blade. "What kind of attitude do we have? I'd like to ask what kind of attitude the city has! Mayor Zheng, isn't this far too unfair to Yantai County? Dafeng County contacted Xinhua News Agency reporters and had them come to our county to stir up trouble! Then they snatched away an investment project we'd already reached a verbal agreement on! Then they faked a fall and falsely accused one of our county's officials of beating them! Our comrade nearly lost his position because of it! We said nothing the first time, but then there was a second, third, and fourth time! I'd like to ask, what exactly are they trying to do?"

"When this matter first reached the city, I made myself very clear! The relevant personnel have already been dealt with!" Zheng Shizhang slapped the table repeatedly. "What I want to know now is why people from your Investment Bureau went to Dafeng County! What is an Investment Conference? It carries a political mission! And your county government still has the nerve to argue?"

Xie Huilan gave a cold smile. "Since the city saw no problem with Dafeng County coming to our county to solicit investment, why is it a problem when our people go to Dafeng County? During the signing ceremony, Dafeng County swaggered past our doorstep with our investors in tow! They left all our people standing there! Wasn't that a political issue? But the moment our people arrived in Dafeng County and hadn't even done anything, it became a political issue instead?"

Zheng Shizhang was furious at her rebuttal. "You're an old Party member too! Is this the level of your political awareness?"

"The city only knows how to criticize Yantai County, while turning a blind eye to every single mistake Dafeng County has made. Forgive my disrespect, Mayor Zheng, but this isn't a question of whether I, Xie Huilan, have sufficient political awareness, nor whether Yantai County does. Where is your political awareness?"

Those words were too vicious. The courtyard fell silent, and everyone stared at Xie Huilan in shock.

Even Hu Silian sucked in a breath. She had never expected the usually steady County Chief Xie to directly question Mayor Zheng's political awareness over the phone.

Holy shit!

County Chief Xie had really blown up!

Zheng Shizhang was so angry he could barely speak. "You're criticizing me now!?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare."

"Wouldn't dare? Yantai County, very good! I don't think there's anything you people wouldn't dare to do! You even dare question the city? Fine! Fine!" With that, Zheng Shizhang slammed down the phone and hung up!

Beep, beep, beep. Hearing it, Xie Huilan calmly put away her phone.

The people in the County Party Committee Compound looked at Xie Huilan differently now. What had originally been an incident on the verge of wrapping up had been elevated into a political matter by a single remark from County Chief Xie. Defying a city leader? Questioning Vice Mayor Zheng's political awareness? This was no small matter! Even if Zheng Shizhang was only a vice mayor in charge of Investment Promotion Work, he was still a city leader! He had authority in the city! How could he tolerate being questioned by a county chief?

Something was going to happen!

Something huge was going to happen!

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

As soon as they entered, Hu Silian closed the door and hesitated before speaking. "County Chief Huilan..." She felt that this was a little inappropriate. County Chief Xie's outburst would inevitably give her political enemies something to seize upon.

But Xie Huilan said something even more startling. "Hu, how is the investigation into that Strong Tea teahouse going?"

Hu Silian froze. Don't you already know? "It was investigated thoroughly this morning. Both the fire safety and sanitation are substandard, with many issues. They've already been fined, but the province..."

Xie Huilan looked at her. "Fire safety issues can't be rectified in a day or two, and sanitation conditions can't be fixed with a simple cleanup. Is a fine enough? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible to the people? Call the Health Bureau and the Fire Brigade! Shut it down!"

Shut it down? Hu Silian's face turned green. "County Chief, this..."

Xie Huilan waved a hand. "Do it immediately. If anyone has questions about Yantai County's law enforcement methods, tell him to call me!"

She was even going to disregard the provincial leader's secretary? Hu Silian could say nothing more. She took a breath and immediately went to make the calls. This matter also made her see clearly that County Chief Xie was either completely calm or earth-shatteringly fierce once she lost her temper.

After she left, Xie Huilan picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Aunt."

A mature woman's voice came from the other end. "Hehe, Huilan."

"How have you been lately? You and Uncle didn't return to Beijing during the New Year. I heard your throat was inflamed? Old Master has been thinking about you and keeps bringing you up."

Xie Guoyue smiled. "I've been fine for a while. Your uncle was busy with work, and something happened in the province during the New Year. We'll definitely return for May Day." After a pause, she added with a chuckle, "I heard from your eldest sister-in-law that you found someone? And someone much younger than you? Hehe, your aunt hasn't met him yet. I really was surprised. I always thought that if this girl ever dated anyone, it would have to be someone in his thirties or forties."

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

"Fine. When the time comes, I'll help you assess him. If I don't approve, he won't do."

"Even if you don't approve, you'll have to. If you give our Bin a sour look when you meet him, I can't promise I'll let it slide, hehe..."

"A daughter really does turn away once she grows up. All those years of raising you were for nothing!"

After some idle chatter, Xie Guoyue suddenly said, "All right, you must have something to ask your aunt, right?"

"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony." Xie Huilan smiled. "When I first came to Yantai County, I'd planned to observe for half a year and steadily feel out the relationships on all sides. After all, I was new here. Only after getting a clear sense of the situation would it be easier to open things up. But now, certain people have repeatedly caused trouble right on our county's doorstep. Again and again, they simply don't take us seriously. If I keep being steady, how will I carry out my work from now on? Don't you agree?"

Xie Guoyue smiled and shook her head. "Go on. What do you need your aunt to do?"

"Fenzhou City's Vice Mayor Zheng Shizhang has a son named Zheng Jie. He opened a company in Dongshan Province under a friend's name, and the business is doing quite well. Hehe, should we take a look at him?"

"How far should we go?"

"You decide. As long as it can make Zheng Shizhang shut up."

"Mm, I understand. I'll mention it to your uncle."

"Thank you, Aunt. Give Uncle my regards too."

After hanging up, Xie Huilan checked the time and called Xiang Daofa. "Hello, Xiang..."

Near Huamei District.

Strong Tea Teahouse.

Peng Kenong received news that the teahouse had been shut down that morning. After calling Li Feng for help, he immediately rushed back to Yantai County. At that moment, he sat in the teahouse drinking tea face-to-face with the round-faced owner. Learning that the Health Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau had removed the seals, Peng Kenong relaxed. He felt that choosing to invest in Dafeng County had indeed been the right decision. County Chief Li's influence was extraordinary; one phone call had resolved the issue.

The round-faced owner frowned. "Old Peng, we got through this time, and the fine is within what we can bear. But what if Yantai County does this again next time..."

"They won't." Peng Kenong smiled. "Even the provincial leader's secretary has spoken. Yantai County won't dare do anything."

The moment he finished speaking, several cars screeched to a stop outside.

People from the Health Bureau and Fire Brigade had come again!

Before Peng Kenong could even process it, they stormed inside and began driving people out. No matter what Peng Kenong said, they ignored him. Once everyone was out, several seals were slapped onto the teahouse doors.

"What are you doing!?" Peng Kenong snapped.

A Fire Brigade officer glanced at him. "What are we doing? Can't you read what's written on the seal? Widen the fire escape immediately! Otherwise, don't even think about reopening!"

"You..." Peng Kenong was stunned. What was going on? They even dared disregard the provincial leader's secretary?

The Health Bureau and Fire Brigade personnel showed no courtesy at all. They were merely carrying out orders from above. They had heard that County Chief Xie had just spoken with Xiang Daofa about this matter, though no one knew what had been said. In any case, the county Party secretary and county chief seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. Under these circumstances, both of them had put aside their differences and chosen to present a united front against outsiders. Since the county leaders had already set the tone, those below naturally carried it out resolutely. What city connections? What provincial leader's secretary? To hell with that! Those people were too far removed from them. Why should they care? If anything happened, the county leaders would take responsibility!

The situation seemed to be growing bigger and bigger!

Xie Huilan's series of actions immediately caused an uproar throughout the county. For the first time, everyone realized that County Chief Xie, who usually smiled pleasantly at everyone... was so ruthless when she got angry!

But just when everyone thought there was no way to settle this matter, Zheng Shizhang suddenly went silent!

No one knew what had happened. Some people only heard that Mayor Zheng seemed to have called County Chief Xie again near the end of the workday. Then... there was no more news from the city. No one said another word about Director Dong going to Dafeng County's Investment Conference either. An eerie silence had descended!

Was it over?

Had it just gone quiet like that?

Everyone found it unbelievable. Was this County Chief Xie's influence?

Huang Li from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee was the only one who knew about the Romantic Relationship between Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin. After hearing about this, he felt both amused and helpless. Well then, Dong was causing trouble with Dafeng County, while Huilan was raising hell in Yantai County. They really were husband and wife—what perfect coordination!

Were hooligans frightening? Not really!

What if hooligans knew martial arts? Still not that frightening!

But the frightening thing was when a martial arts-trained hooligan had powerful backing! Huang Li felt that Dong was exactly that kind of person now! With Huilan in Yantai County blasting city leaders and holding off all the pressure for him, how could this end well? Who knew whether an uninhibited Dong would turn Dafeng County completely upside down?

Huang Li slapped his forehead.

Li Feng, Li Feng, why did you have to provoke Dong when you had nothing better to do? Weren't you just asking for trouble!?

A strong book by a friend is recommended!
