"Damn it! They're cracking down on us? What the hell have we done?!"

"Old Fang, stop talking nonsense!"

"Would I dare to make up such a thing?"

Old Fang's eyes were icy as he swept them over everyone present.

"I'll ask you one more time, did you send people to burn down Jiahang Guesthouse?"

He spoke slowly and deliberately:

"That's the reception point designated by the municipal party committee!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Feng Sanyao.

Feng Sanyao was also stunned, and suddenly stood up:

"What are you looking at me for? I wouldn't dare do such a thing even if you gave me ten lives!"

"Old Feng, what were you whispering about with Xiao Mo earlier?"

Huang Yifan questioned.

"I just wanted him to cause some trouble for that Zhang guy, to make a scene! Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Feng Sanyao's expression changed as he said this.

"Damn, could it be that idiot Xiao Mo acted on his own..."

"Old Feng, go and find out what happened! Don't drag us into this!"

Feng Sanyao cursed inwardly, but he didn't say a word. He turned around and rushed out of the private room.

Watching his retreating figure, the remaining people exchanged glances, and finally all looked at Zhao Shijie.

Don't look at me.

Zhao Shijie toyed with his wine glass, distancing himself from the situation.

"You started this fire. I'm about to leave the country, so don't try to drag me down with you."

"Shijie, you can't say that."

Li Bingyang spoke slowly.

"You are still the president of the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce."

Your business is still waiting for us to take over.

Zhao Shijie's eyebrows furrowed together.

He knew that this group of people wanted him to take the fall.

"Alright."

He put down his glass and made a decision.

"I'll go and ask around for you."

Don't panic, panicking will only lead to mistakes.

"What storms haven't I weathered in the last few years?"

"With Shijie saying that, we can rest assured!"

"Shijie, you need to make it clear to the city leaders that we are just honest businessmen."

By the way, about the 500,000 yuan we were talking about sponsoring the martial arts tournament, how about we raise it tonight?

Let's also show the provincial leaders the attitude of Jiaxing businessmen!

"Yes, yes, I'll offer 20,000!"

Zhao Shijie sneered inwardly, thinking, "He's the kind of guy who won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin."

A dozen minutes later, outside the Jialong Hotel.

Feng Sanyao led a large group of men, looking very aggressive.

From the shadows of the alley, Xiao Mo came running up to greet them, all excited and eager.

"Boss Feng, what brings you here? I've found out that the guy surnamed Zhang lives in room 208, but he left an hour ago."

Don't worry, as long as he comes back, I guarantee he won't be able to sleep!

Feng Sanyao stared at him:

"You've been here the whole time?"

"yes!"

"Who burned down the Jiahang Guesthouse?"

Xiao Mo was taken aback:

"Huh? Mr. Feng, how would I know that!"

"It really wasn't you?"

Feng Sanyao frowned.

Damn it, which bastard messed things up at this time?!

"Don't move! Police!"

A blinding beam of flashlight swept across, and a group of uniformed police officers rushed out from the street corner, their dark gun barrels pointed at them.

Feng Sanyao's legs went weak, and he quickly raised his hand, forcing a smile:

"Comrade, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I am Feng Sanyao, and I'm a friend of your Director Yan!"

"We don't know any Director Yan."

The leading police officer had a stern face and a voice devoid of warmth.

The municipal party committee's "Clean Breeze Action" special task force is handling the case.

Everyone, put your hands behind your heads and squat down!

Operation Qingfeng?

Feng Sanyao's mind went blank for a moment, and he obediently squatted down.

It's over.

This time, the municipal party secretary personally ordered them to be dealt with.

"Take them all!"

Shortly after, a private car took Zhang Cheng to the Jialong Hotel.

The three plainclothes officers sent by Mayor Gao silently followed behind him; one stood guard at the door, while the other two went into the next room.

Their aura was calm and steady, like three mountains, keeping all prying eyes out.

Zhang Cheng returned to his room, took off his coat, and slowly practiced a set of punches until he was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

He was about to take a shower when there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Cheng opened the door, somewhat surprised.

Standing outside the door was Li Yuanyuan, wearing an eye-catching red wool coat, looking travel-worn, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

Behind her, the plainclothes gatekeeper stood like a statue, his sharp gaze making her very uncomfortable.

"One of our own."

Zhang Cheng nodded to the man.

The plainclothes officer then withdrew his gaze and resumed his statue-like posture.

Li Yuanyuan immediately slipped into the house, closed the door behind her, and patted her chest:

"Where did you find your bodyguards? Their eyes could kill."

Zhang Cheng put on his suit jacket, sat down in the chair, and sized her up:

Why did you come all the way to Jiaxing?

"It arrived the day before yesterday."

Li Yuanyuan smiled and took a document out of her bag, handing it over.

"You should be able to use the gift I gave you."

Zhang Cheng took it and opened it.

"Jiaxing Out-of-Town Joint Chamber of Commerce?"

He looked up at Li Yuanyuan, who was beaming with pride, and gave her a thumbs up.

"sharp.

I thought it would take some effort.

"Of course!"

Li Yuanyuan slightly raised her chin.

"I'll use your reputation in the Funing newspaper and then release the news that the city is going to launch a 'crackdown' campaign."

Those out-of-town bosses who had been bullied terribly by the Jiaxing gang all looked like they had seen a savior.

I simply went with the flow, bringing them together as one.

She immediately became nervous again:

"I heard the guesthouse you were staying at was burned down? Was it aimed at you?"

"you guess."

Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Jiaxing is so dangerous, why don't we go back to Funing? Now that we have the new Chamber of Commerce, we can remotely control things..."

"Once you've set up your stall, it's hard to leave."

Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"The leadership team in Jiaxing will not let me, the one who started this, leave easily."

He placed the chamber of commerce document stamped with a red seal on the table and tapped the list of members lightly with his fingers.

"Make an appointment with all the members of the new Chamber of Commerce and have lunch together tomorrow at noon."

"good!"

Li Yuan-yuan nodded, then smiled.

"Many business owners are willing to invest in the construction of the industrial park. You can..."

"Money isn't urgent."

Zhang Cheng interrupted her, his gaze falling on a document with a name...

Hongfa Steel

On the name.

He looked up at Li Yuanyuan.

"Go back and prepare. You will be announcing something at tomorrow's meeting."

"What's up?"

"Take all the building materials for the industrial park project, from steel bars and cement to every brick and tile."

All purchases and sales are handled internally by our new chamber of commerce; we do not use any external suppliers whatsoever.
