"Dad, I'm in trouble."

4:10, Pingyang Dongsheng Hotel.

Xu Wen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, looking at the endless stream of people outside the window, and spoke calmly into the phone.

A voice came hurriedly on the phone, "My dear daughter, what trouble are you in? Where are you now? Tell Dad quickly, and Dad will send someone over right away!"

Xu Wen felt warm in his heart. If there was one person in this world who was always available, it must be his father Xu Yongchang.

"My dear daughter, please speak quickly! Your father is so worried!" Xu Yongchang's face was full of anxiety.

Xu Wen smiled lightly and said, "Dad, it's not me who is in trouble, it's your future son-in-law who is in trouble. He really needs your help as his future father-in-law. Are you willing to help?"

"Ah?" Xu Yongchang was stunned, then laughed out of anger, "Girl, you don't like so many young men in Beijing, how come you met someone you like in Hanjiang? What's his job? Is he a teacher or a doctor? Dad told you that he doesn't want you to find a businessman..."

Hearing Xu Yongchang start nagging again, Xu Wen smiled helplessly and urged, "Dad, he is a civil servant, don't ask him yet. Things are very urgent now, he is almost worried to death, if we delay any longer, he will lose his job."

"Oh? It's good to be a state official. This way, our family will have a common topic... What kind of mistake did you make to lose your public office? Did you offend someone? Okay, okay, you tell me the matter first, and I'll call and have someone handle it right away!" Xu Yongchang couldn't help nagging as soon as he received the call from his daughter, as if he had endless things to say and endless questions to ask.

"Pingyang City is going to hold an important investment promotion conference tomorrow. Your son-in-law is the main person in charge, but now none of the entrepreneurs they invited have shown up. Things are messed up. The city leaders want to hold your son-in-law responsible... but it's not all his fault. Why should they hold him responsible?

In the final analysis, it's because the people in the city government are too incompetent... I will never agree to punish him. Dad, do you agree?"

Xu Wen put one hand on her waist and pouted her lips angrily. She had been watching Li Lin working diligently these past two days, and the city leaders didn't care about anything except calling to ask about it. Now that something went wrong, they wanted to blame him. What right did they have?

Because of their high rank? Because of their strong background? ...Nonsense...

Xu Yongchang was silent for two seconds, then quickly said with a smile, "No, no, I won't agree to anything my good daughter won't agree to... I understand the matter, give me a list, and I'll have someone notify them right away, and they must attend the Pingyang investment promotion conference on time tomorrow, hehe..."

Xu Wen interrupted him and said, "Dad, it's not "must", it's "must", "definitely", "certainly"!... Don't ask me for a list, I don't have one. You are such a high-ranking official, you should find a way to solve it yourself."

Xu Yongchang's face was full of smiles. He liked his daughter to speak to him in an imperative manner. Only in this way could he feel a sense of accomplishment when things were done. So he said in a flattering manner, "Yes, yes, everyone must be present! Everyone must be present! Hahaha... My dear daughter, are you satisfied with this?"

Xu Wen raised her lips slightly and smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you, Dad. You should take care of yourself when I'm not with you. Drink less, smoke less, and get more rest...Okay, Dad, hurry up and do it. I'll wait for your good news."

"Okay, okay, Dad will listen to you. I will smoke less and drink less. When my good daughter brings my good son-in-law back to Yanjing, Dad will drink as much as he wants. Hahaha..."

As he laughed, Xu Yongchang's eyes became moist. He hadn't seen Xu Wen for several months, and he missed her so much.

After hanging up the phone, he turned to the secretary who had been on standby in the office and ordered, "Go get a list of Pingyang's invited merchants."

"Yes." The secretary turned and left the room.

After a while, the secretary handed Xu Yongchang a list.

Xu Yongchang took a closer look and said to his secretary with a calm face, "Go and call the people from the Inspection Bureau over."

Two minutes later, the head of the Inspection Bureau walked into Xu Yongchang's office, stood in front of him respectfully, and asked seriously, "Director, do you have any instructions?"

Xu Yongchang handed the list in his hand to the head of the Inspection Bureau, his mouth tightened, and he said coldly, "Check these companies and give me a reply within half an hour!"

"yes!"

After the head of the Inspection Bureau left, Xu Yongchang's tense face finally relaxed. He slowly withdrew his gaze from the door and stared at the vast sky outside the window.

The setting sun shone through the window onto his face, causing his originally serious expression to gradually become gentle.

At this moment, Xu Yongchang fell into deep thought, and the image of his daughter Xu Wen kept appearing in his mind.

He imagined what the man who could win the heart of his precious daughter would look like? Was he handsome, elegant, talented, and outstanding?

Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Yongchang's mouth rose unconsciously, and a hint of anticipation and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

...

Dongsheng Hotel, Han River Province.

Hou Yaodong sat on the sofa in the office with a serious expression on his face, surrounded by a group of Dongsheng’s confidants.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes gradually tightened, his fists clenched, and he said coldly, "Where can these guys hide? Humph, even if they hide to the ends of the earth, I, Hou Yaodong, must find you out!"

Li Lin's orders were Sun Huaide's orders, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes full of cruelty, and asked his men around him, "Have you found out where these people live?"

A man with a crew cut and wearing a black shirt took two steps forward and reported calmly, "Boss Hou, I've found out. What should we do next?"

"Humph." Hou Yaodong sneered, "Those who don't give us Dongsheng face are not worthy of being our friends. When dealing with enemies, nothing is more effective than the weapons in your hands! Call more people, bring weapons, and we will pay you a visit!"

"yes!"

Everyone roared in unison, the sound was like a sudden thunder.
