In the box, Gao Lingyue, who was rejected by Yue Chuan, had a terribly gloomy face.
He sneered and asked in a deep voice, "Yue Chuan, if you want to reject me, you have to give me a reasonable reason, right? You are looking down on me by being so perfunctory? Oh, don't you see your status? Not to mention that your father-in-law is gone, even if he was here, how dare you talk to me like this?"
Yue Chuan hurriedly explained, "Boss Zhai, I didn't mean to offend you, but..."
For a moment, Yue Chuan couldn't think of a good reason to explain to Zhai Yuhan. He couldn't just say, "I can't afford to offend Li Lin from Shannan County!"
If that happens, wouldn’t his reputation as Yanjing’s top lawyer be ruined?
"What is that? Why are you so afraid of Shannan County in Pingyang City?" Gao Lingyue asked, staring at Yue Chuan as if he saw through everything.
"I..." Yue Chuan was speechless for a moment, frowning, and finally said stubbornly, "No, you must have misunderstood. Why would I be afraid of a county? Humph, I am Yanjing's top lawyer, and I have connections all over the country. What is there to be afraid of!"
It was just a bluff. His father-in-law Lu Chengze's connections in Hanjiang were almost wiped out... Even if he dared to set foot there, there were not many valuable connections that could help him. In addition, the place he was going to this time was Shannan County, where Li Lin was in charge... How dare he act rashly!
Yue Chuan hesitated and it seemed like he had something to hide.
Gao Lingyue frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "I thought Lawyer Yue was omnipotent, but it turns out he is just a name in vain. I have found the wrong person. Go away!"
It was just a simple sentence, but it was like a knife stabbing into Yue Chuan's heart. In all his years of work, when had he ever been treated with such contempt?
He could foresee that from now on, his reputation in the Yanjing legal circle would plummet...
Yue Chuan didn't explain anything further. He calmly stood up and turned to leave.
But in Zhai Yuhan's eyes, Yue Chuan's departing figure looked so embarrassed, like a dog that had lost its home.
"Humph, what a loser... He still refuses to admit that he relies on the power of his father-in-law Lu Chengze? He even pretends to be a successful person in front of me... It's fucking ridiculous!" Zhai Yuhan cursed fiercely in his heart.
But he soon fell into a state of anxiety... Gao Lingyue was defeated, and Yue Chuan refused to help... Who else could he count on to turn the tables? If he didn't quickly resolve the issue of Zhao Chengyi and the other two, he might miss out on the Shannan Ancient City project...
He had been keeping an eye on that project ever since the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee submitted the request report... He had put a lot of effort into it, and now he was watching it fall into Xu Yilong's pocket. How could he be willing?
"It is better to die in glory than live in disgrace... No one else can get what I, Zhai Yuhan, can't! Xu Yilong... and those people in Pingyang who are against me, just wait for me!"
Zhai Yuhan said with his cheeks puffed up and a vicious look in his eyes.
He had already hatched a new conspiracy in his mind.
...
After Yue Chuan left the club in shame.
His mood has always been shrouded in an indescribable gloom.
He felt hatred for Li Lin, disappointment in himself, complaints about the injustice of the world, and secret sadness about his bad fate.
In the eyes of others, he has always been a man who relied on women to get to the top... Even though Lu Chengze and Lu Yuanfeng are gone, he, Yue Chuan, is still a pretty boy hiding behind women. He is still not the head of the Lu family, and it is impossible for him to become the head of the Lu family... He has always been just an outsider, a son-in-law without dignity!
Bang!
Sitting in the driver's seat, he punched the steering wheel and the car horn honked...
He didn't want to fight with Li Lin, especially after seeing Li Lin's strength in Hanjiang, but... today he was despised by Zhai Yuhan because of Li Lin.
He was unwilling and angry!
He wondered why Li Lin had such power. Wasn't he also the gigolo kept by Li Lan, the former deputy director of the Organization Department of the Hanjiang Provincial Party Committee?
How could he be better than Yue Chuan? How could he be favored by the provincial party secretary and governor?
How could he single-handedly bring down the two giants of the Lu family?
What exactly is his strength? How is he better than me?
I am his senior...how could I be looked down upon by my junior?
Are they destined to be rivals?
Yue Chuan stepped on the accelerator deeply, and with the roar of the engine, the car sped along the wide motorway...ignoring the traffic lights.
...
The next morning, Gao Lingyue hurriedly booked a flight and left Pingyang without even saying goodbye.
Wan Zhenting was very surprised by Gao Lingyue's sudden departure...
What? Are you scared by Li Lin's criticism? Are you giving in? Are you leaving in disgrace?
He laughed in his heart, what a crappy Beijing official, he is nothing more than this!
He was glad that he listened to Long Gang and did not get into too much trouble with Director Gao. Otherwise, he would have to bear Pei Yulin's wrath.
Sitting in the office, he called Long Gang and asked with a smile, "Xiao Gang, I heard that Director Gao left without a word? What happened?"
Long Gang expected Wan Zhenting to call and inquire, but he did not intend to tell Wan Zhenting about the arrest for prostitution, because doing so would undoubtedly be selling out Ding Hui.
After all, Ding Hui was under the jurisdiction of the Pingyang Municipal Bureau, but he followed his orders and went out on his own to arrest the leader from Yanjing...
Not to mention Wan Zhenting, who is petty-minded, anyone else in the leadership position would definitely regard Ding Hui's behavior as a provocation to his authority.
If he didn't fight back appropriately, wouldn't anyone dare to do something behind his back in the future? As the head of the municipal bureau, where was his authority?
