Secretary Zhou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and turned to the door: "What is it?"
"Secretary Zhou, I just...I just received a call from the Funing County Chamber of Commerce."
Director Liu said cautiously.
"They said that most of the members of the Chamber of Commerce are going to come to Jiaxing as a group to discuss cooperation!"
Um?
Secretary Zhou's eyes narrowed, and then he laughed in extreme anger.
"OK."
"I underestimated Zhang Cheng; he actually has so much influence in Funing!"
"snort!"
Seeing his ashen face, Director Liu tentatively asked, "Secretary Zhou, then... should we cancel it?"
"Push? Why would you push!"
Secretary Zhou sneered.
"Cooperation between the chambers of commerce of the two cities is a good thing, a political achievement! If they come, you'd better treat them to good food and drink! Oh, and notify the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce to accompany them!"
“But… Secretary Zhou…” Director Liu looked troubled, “Funing specifically wants to talk to the Jiaxing ‘New Chamber of Commerce’.”
"A new chamber of commerce?" Secretary Zhou frowned deeply.
"It was yesterday afternoon when those out-of-town businessmen registered with the Industry and Commerce Bureau..."
"One city, two chambers of commerce?!"
Secretary Zhou could no longer contain his anger.
"What are those people at the Industry and Commerce Bureau doing?! Have they been kicked in the head by a donkey?!"
Amidst the deafening roar, the three people present lowered their heads even further.
After a long while, Secretary Zhou had vented his anger enough, and then, gritting his teeth, squeezed out a few words.
"Then let that damn new chamber of commerce accompany the investment promotion bureau to pick them up!"
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it right away!"
Director Liu felt as if he had been granted a pardon and turned to run away.
As soon as I entered the corridor, I saw Zhang Jingtao, the head of the criminal investigation department, rushing up the stairs, panting heavily.
"Director Liu, is Director Yan with Secretary Zhou?"
Director Liu smiled wryly, gestured behind him with his lip, and lowered his voice: "They're getting struck by lightning inside, so don't go near them if you don't have to."
Zhang Jingtao looked miserable: "If I had nothing to do, would I have walked right into the line of fire?"
"Then good luck to you."
Director Liu patted him on the shoulder and quickly left.
Zhang Jingtao took a deep breath, composed himself, and walked heavily toward his office.
At the door, he saw his immediate superior, Director Yan, and Secretary Huang, standing with their backs to him, motionless, like two schoolchildren being scolded.
Meanwhile, Secretary Zhou was standing in front of his desk, puffing on his cigarette, the smoke swirling around him.
Hearing footsteps, Secretary Zhou raised his bloodshot eyes and looked towards the door.
"Section Chief Zhang, come in."
Director Yan's ears twitched; he knew there must be some new developments in the case.
"explain."
Secretary Zhou stubbed out his cigarette hard in the ashtray.
"Secretary Zhou..."
Zhang Jingtao's voice was a little weak as he took a fax paper out of his briefcase.
"A fax came from Funing County saying... that Zhang Cheng is the main culprit in an economic fraud case, and their court, in conjunction with the Public Security Bureau, has issued a formal arrest warrant for Zhang Cheng."
"Let us... cooperate and escort the prisoner back to Funing."
Zhang Jingtao's voice grew softer and softer.
Because Secretary Zhou's expression was extremely grim.
The office was deathly silent.
Bang!
Secretary Zhou slammed his fist hard on the solid wood desk, making a loud noise.
"What is the Funing County and Municipal Party Committee doing?!"
He growled in a low voice, his voice filled with humiliation and rage.
"Is Zhang Cheng their biological father?!"
