"The purpose of today's meeting is to eliminate a group of bad apples. The people want development, to have enough to eat and wear, to live in good houses, and to move towards a moderately prosperous life. Anyone who blocks the way forward, no matter who they are, will be eliminated. The times are surging forward like a great river, and cannot be stopped by a few rotten fish and shrimp!"
Huang Youwei stopped with a serious expression and looked towards the door.
Di Mingde sat there, no longer wanting to speak. He couldn't understand why Huang Youwei was still going to cause trouble for him at this point, and so ruthlessly at that.
Just as he was pondering this, the door opened and two rows of people in uniforms walked in. Everyone in the room looked towards the door, their eyes following them as they moved forward.
Some people have already figured it out.
"Please stand up, don't speak, and come with us!"
Di Mingde immediately understood. His face turned pale as he stared at the two men in front of him, his legs trembling. He stammered, "Impossible! What's going on? Brother Huang... are you kidding me?"
The two men didn't let him say anything more, handcuffed him, and carried him out. Also detained were Ma Juntao and the head of the Market Supervision Bureau.
The entire room fell silent, the air seemed to freeze. The few people who had been yawning were now wide awake, their backs straight and their backs covered in a fine sweat.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, the new day's newspapers had already appeared on everyone's desks. The business newspaper's headline read: Jiafeng Electronics' millions of yuan worth of substandard electronic products were seized. What will become of them in the future?
The city's big businessmen all know that Huang Youwei had a meeting yesterday, yet Jiafeng Electronics' products are still sealed off, and his attitude is self-evident.
Add to that the news reports today, and everyone knows perfectly well that worshipping Huang Youwei's faction won't make a difference.
Many people knew that Hao Zhihai and Di Mingde were close, and he received a barrage of phone calls all morning, with even some state-owned enterprise general managers trying to curry favor with him.
"Mr. Li, don't worry, what kind of relationship do we have?" Hao Zhihai said with a smile, smoking a cigarette and holding the phone in his hand. "If anything happens, I'll definitely take care of you. You give me face, so I have to give you face in return."
After exchanging pleasantries, Hao Zhihai hung up the phone. Looking out at the bright sunshine, he was in an extremely good mood. At that moment, he felt like he was dominating the local business world. At the next business gathering, as long as he raised his glass, countless wealthy people would raise their glasses in agreement.
Thinking of that scene, Hao Zhihai felt a thrill from his toes to the tips of his hair. He was satisfied with his life. As for Lu Feng, he was just a stone under his feet. With Huang Youwei's departure, he would become more and more lonely.
With a surge of emotion and boundless pride, Hao Zhihai stood by the window, muttering to himself, "Not to mention Lu Feng, who in the entire city dares to be my enemy right now?"
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and seven or eight people rushed in, shoving an arrest warrant directly at his face.
"Cuff him!"
Before Hao Zhihai could react, he was handcuffed and then taken away.
Lu Feng took Duo Duo to school, and then immediately held a morning meeting at the factory. By the time he finished, it was already 10:30. Sitting in the office, he couldn't concentrate and felt restless.
"Where did she go?" Lu Feng tossed the folder aside. It was impossible for him not to worry about Jiang Xiaoyan. He had unconsciously gotten used to having someone waiting for him, like a pillar of support in his heart.
No matter how far you go, as long as you come home, that person will always be there.
At 11 a.m., the news leaked from the municipal government that there was a major earthquake in the officialdom. Di Mingde, Ma Juntao and several others were taken away for investigation at the meeting. Hao Zhihai of Yongchang Logistics and Hao Zhipeng of Jinchang Logistics were detained. Also detained were the managers of the two companies, as well as Ba Ge and others who were staying in the hospital.
In the morning, business people were calling each other to joke that Lu Feng's fortunes had declined and that he would have to change course from now on. The local business community was led by Hao Zhihai. No one expected that something would happen so soon.
Such swift and decisive action was unexpected by everyone. Upon hearing the news, they were all shocked and immediately began making phone calls to inquire about it.
"Do you know what happened?"
"Are they really going to arrest so many people, or is this just an investigation?"
"I heard that Lu Feng went to Huang Youwei, but Huang Youwei couldn't handle it, so he went directly to the provincial level and ordered a thorough investigation overnight."
"Lu Feng has such extraordinary abilities?"
The entire business world was shaken. Rumors spread that Lu Feng was furious. He made a phone call to the provincial government, and then a major earthquake struck. Everyone who heard the news was stunned. They originally thought they could go toe-to-toe with Lu Feng, but they didn't expect that when he got serious, everything was as fragile as a mille-feuille!
