"Director Yu!"
Seeing Director Yu stride over, Zhao Daming quickly handed the money to Liu Zhongren beside him, then hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "Director Yu, this person... should we take him to the police station, or directly to the detention center?"
Director Yu frowned, just in time to see Secretary Liu walk past him. He steeled himself and chased after him, lowering his voice even further: "Secretary Liu, what should we do with Qian Zheng?"
Secretary Liu paused, not looking at him, and simply uttered four words.
"Take him to the hospital."
"ah?"
Director Yu was completely stunned. Take him to the hospital? Why?
Secretary Liu glanced at him, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, shook her head almost imperceptibly, said nothing more, and walked straight to her car.
"Mayor Ma, Mayor Ma! What does Secretary Liu mean by this?" Director Yu was anxious and quickly stopped Vice Mayor Ma who was following behind.
A glint flashed in Vice Mayor Ma's eyes. He lowered his voice and said, word by word, "Have the doctor give him a thorough physical examination. See if he has any... incurable diseases."
Holy crap!
Director Yu was instantly enlightened, a chill ran down his spine, and he cursed inwardly that Qian Zheng had really had the worst luck ever.
Vice Mayor Ma reached out and patted Director Yu on the shoulder heavily, implying, "Handle this matter well. Whether we can take another step forward, perhaps... depends on you."
"Mayor Ma, please tell me the truth! Who exactly is this Li Yuanchao? I'd like to know more about him!"
“I don’t know his specific identity either.” Vice Mayor Ma shook his head. “I only know that he has connections with the smelter that is about to be established there, and he’s not just an ordinary high-ranking official.”
"A smelter?"
Seeing Director Yu's blank expression, Vice Mayor Ma chuckled and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Just remember one thing."
“From today onwards, Qian Zheng is sick.”
"The disease has reached the point of no return."
After saying that, Vice Mayor Ma strode off to catch up with Secretary Liu.
Zhao Daming leaned closer to Director Yu and whispered, "Director Yu, what did the leaders say about how to handle this?"
"Take him to the hospital."
"Um?"
Seeing Zhao Daming's puzzled expression, Director Yu gave a wry smile and repeated what Vice Mayor Ma had said.
Zhao Daming was terrified: "This...this won't work."
"What do you think of the task assigned from above?" Director Yu said, putting his hands behind his back. "This task is now in your hands! Remember, do it cleanly and efficiently!"
At this moment, Zhao Daming was filled with regret. Why did he rush so fast?
Just then, the restaurant manager, Fatty Sun, rushed out in a panic.
"Chief Zhao! Which one of you is Chief Zhao?"
"That's me, so what?" Zhao Daming replied irritably.
Manager Sun ran up to him, panting, and said, "Director Zhao, Mr. Li upstairs, please come over for a drink!"
Zhao Daming's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that this glass of wine was mostly because of Li Yuanyuan.
He quickly walked to Liu Zhongren's side and told him to take Qian Zheng to the hospital first, while he followed Manager Sun into the restaurant.
Zhao Daming felt a mix of emotions. He had always believed that Zhang Cheng and Li Yuanyuan were a match made in heaven.
But now... Li Yuanchao has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. With his background and his skills, can Brother Gou... withstand him?
"What a mess!" Zhao Daming cursed under his breath, raised his hand to rub his face, forced a bright smile, and pushed open the door to the new private room.
"Mr. Li, hello, my name is Zhao Daming!"
Li Yuanchao immediately stood up, extended his right hand, and said with a warm smile, "Director Zhao, you are older than me. If you don't mind, I will call you Brother Zhao, just like Yuanyuan does."
"No, no!"
“What’s wrong with that!” Li Yuanchao warmly pulled him to a seat. “Brother Zhao, I’m new here in Funing County, and I’ve only met Yuanyuan and you as friends.”
Zhao Daming sat down, flattered, glancing furtively at Li Yuanyuan, but he couldn't discern her true attitude towards Li Yuanchao.
After a few rounds of drinks, Li Yuanchao's cheeks were slightly flushed. He stared intently at Li Yuanyuan's delicate, fair face and dropped a bombshell.
“Yuanyuan, I’ll tell you the truth, I’m the general manager of Chint Smelter.”
"From now on, I can entrust all the outsourced projects of the smelter to you."
He paused, his tone filled with undeniable confidence.
"If you're willing, I guarantee that within three years you'll become the richest woman in Funing, and even the entire province!"
