Hou Peng originally intended this to be a question.
Did you tell Li Xiuyuan about what happened last night?
Hou Peng asked Wang Yonghua because of Li Xiuyuan's unusual attitude at noon today.
But Wang Yonghua didn't see it that way at all. What did he mean by "did you tell me what happened last night?" He thought, "Can't I even talk about what happened last night? You've changed your mind at the last minute and are now on the opposite side. You're not even allowed to give me a heads-up so we can prepare in advance and have some idea of what's going on?"
Do you want me to wait until then and be caught off guard by you?
Hearing Hou Peng's question, Wang Yonghua was furious and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Mayor, what do you mean by this? Are you asking me to keep it a secret? You didn't tell me that last night!"
Hou Peng's face darkened: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask you if you've told Li Xiuyuan about this."
“I told you, the first thing I did after leaving your place last night was go to Meilin Village and tell Mayor Li about it.” Wang Yonghua was no longer willing to tolerate Hou Peng. He was already a little angry, and after drinking at noon, he spoke his mind directly.
Hou Peng frowned. "You told him? If you told him, why is Li Xiuyuan reacting like this?"
"What did you say?"
“I told you the truth, without hiding anything,” Wang Yonghua said directly.
"That shouldn't be the case," Hou Peng muttered to himself, full of doubts. But at this moment, he didn't want to say anything more in front of Wang Yonghua. He also understood that Wang Yonghua was still holding a grudge against him.
Especially since Wang Yonghua had been drinking, there was no point in continuing to talk; it could easily escalate into something ugly.
So Hou Peng simply said, "Forget it, Yonghua, don't get involved in this. Go back and rest. We'll talk about it later."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yonghua immediately felt uncomfortable. "You took the money, and now you're going back on your word. To avoid offending anyone, you kicked me aside. But Li Xiuyuan still values me, and now you're unwilling to let me participate in this matter."
What's the meaning?
Who am I? Just because you don't want my junk doesn't mean no one else can take it? You've already kicked me out, so why are you still bothering with me?
Wang Yonghua put down his teacup and looked at Hou Peng, saying, "Mayor Hou, whether I participate in this matter or not is none of your business."
Wang Yonghua seemed to be speaking with restraint, still giving Hou Peng some face. But this was different for Hou Peng, who was never one to speak so respectfully.
Today, when Wang Yonghua spoke to him, he always felt that there was a barb in his words.
Taking this opportunity, he wanted to give Wang Yonghua a warning, to let Wang Yonghua know who was in charge of getting the project in the central town.
Hou Peng looked coldly at Wang Yonghua and said, word by word, "Yonghua, this has nothing to do with me. Without me, I won't participate or support Li Xiuyuan anymore. Let's not even talk about whether Li Xiuyuan can still have a say in bidding. Even if we take a step back and assume that Li Xiuyuan can still have a say in bidding projects, would Li Xiuyuan use you? Would he give you projects?"
