Chapter 31

A series of reactions left He Dacheng in a daze.

Only then did he realize that Gu Meiyun not only had extremely strong working abilities but also interpersonal skills that he could never match. He was truly impressed.

Zhao Zhiqiang accepted everything without refusal, not even bothering to ask about the cost or express gratitude.

Or perhaps he hadn't even thought about it.

However, He Dacheng knew that this was a good opportunity to get the personal phone number of the old leader, but he didn't feel that he had any matters that would trouble such a high-ranking veteran.

...

A white Crown was in front, and a black Audi A6 was behind.

Li Shangbo led the way, with Gu Meiyun's car following behind.

The car in front was Li Shangbo's private vehicle. He Dacheng originally wanted to get into his car, but Gu Meiyun didn't want to sit alone with Zhao Zhiqiang, nor could she arrange for Zhao Zhiqiang to sit in the front car.

He Dacheng sat in the front, Gu Meiyun sat on the left side in the back, and Zhao Zhiqiang sat on the right.

However, due to Zhao Zhiqiang's peculiar status and his lack of initiative to speak, the atmosphere in the car was very dull.

After a few minutes of driving, the car entered the southern urban development zone, and it was He Dacheng who spoke first.

"Mr. Zhao, may I ask if you are a local from our southern city?"

"Hehe, Director He, you're too polite. I'm not a teacher, just a retired soldier. I'm from the southern city, specifically from Guomugou Village, Tieshan Town, Changnan District. If you don't believe me, you can check in the public security system."

"Phew!"

Having not spoken for a long time, He Dacheng was just about to find a topic to understand his relationship with the old leaders Lin and Li, but unexpectedly, he started asking about his household registration. Gu Meiyun suddenly laughed.

Because He Dacheng was usually a serious and meticulous person, she could tell from his formal "Mr. Zhao" that he really took it seriously, which was rare and a bit strange.

However, she herself was curious about this "Mr. Zhao" and felt a slight annoyance.

Hmph, using my phone and not even saying thank you.

Her laughter made both men look at her simultaneously.

So beautiful.

Indeed, she was the most beautiful and youngest female official at the department level. Who would have the good fortune to win her heart?

Although He Dacheng was stiff, he was still a man.

His evaluation was very manly, but unfortunately, he had a family background and didn't think about things he shouldn't.

Not bad.

Zhao Zhiqiang glanced briefly and then turned his head to look out the window again.

His mind was intensely focused on the techniques taught by Lin Shoushan, one for treating head diseases and one for treating kidney and bladder meridians, each for five minutes. Zhao Zhiqiang learned quickly and remembered accurately. A set of acupuncture techniques that Lin Shoushan studied for ten years, he learned in five minutes.

This shock was so great that even in the car, Old Lin hadn't fully reacted, which made him want to cultivate a great physician of the ages.

However, Zhao Zhiqiang had no intention of becoming a doctor...

The spirit energy was obtained at the cost of his essence and blood. Treating others for no reason? No point.

Gu Meiyun, however, thought that the boy didn't even bother to look at her.

She felt a bit annoyed.

Am I really not young anymore?

What does he do, acting so high and mighty? Is he playing hard to get?

Looking at his eyes, it seemed like it.

She didn't want to show weakness, "Mr. Zhao, are you a doctor too?"

"No."

Gu Meiyun asked curiously, "Then, how did you end up treating the old leader?"

"Old Lin found me."

"How did you meet Old Lin?"

"We met on the road."

Gu Meiyun, helpless, "Are you friends with my brother?"

"Not really, he had something to ask me."

"Do you know about Chang'an Village?"

"Sorry, that's not my job."

"You!"

Gu Meiyun had no desire to continue the conversation. The boy clearly had an attitude of keeping people at a distance.

Pant, pant.

Zhao Zhiqiang fell asleep, and he slept soundly.

Gu Meiyun, who was furious, felt like a tigress that couldn't eat a hedgehog, wanting to swallow this guy who didn't know the meaning of respect, at least mutual respect is a basic human principle, right?

She was ignored.

Gu Meiyun, who was used to living with a sense of superiority and ease, had never been ignored like this before.

He Dacheng was like an old monk in deep meditation, lost in thought.

After that, the two of them didn't speak again. The car drove for about ten minutes and arrived at the village committee on Toudao Street.

Gu Meiyun thought that they would go to the village to understand the situation, and let Xiao Li and the driver take Zhao Zhiqiang home.

After all, for them, the matter of Chang'an Village was a top priority, and taking someone home was just a detour.

The car turned a corner and saw a large courtyard.

"How many people are there?"

Li Shangbo's car had already entered.

...

Li Shangbo, being quick-witted, had already called Secretary Zeng Xiaofeng of Tieshan Street before they set off.

However, Secretary Zeng was waiting for the big boss to appear.

He was already at the city government square.

He was anxiously negotiating with the people from Chang'an Village who were sitting in silence on the two streets.

He was so scared when he heard that the city party secretary was coming to handle the situation that his legs were trembling. Just as he finished talking, he was told that Secretary Gu of the district committee had already arrived at the Chang'an Village committee, and he almost wet his pants.

"This is a pincer attack, being attacked from both sides!"

He quickly called and arranged for the deputy director of the street to rush over with his team. He couldn't understand why the city party secretary was accompanied by the district mayor, while the new Secretary Gu went directly to the village.

What—what is he up to?

At the square.

Indeed, it had already reached a point that made him and the village party secretary headache. They had no prior knowledge of the sudden sit-in by over 200 people from the two streets at the city government square.

When they asked the people, they didn't say anything.

He didn't recognize all of them. After Zhang Weifa hurriedly arrived, the situation eased somewhat, but no matter how they tried to persuade them, no one left, and they just shouted for city leaders.

No one stood up to present the issues and demands.

Zhang Weifa walked around and made a discovery.

After Secretary Zeng finished his call, he quietly pulled Zeng aside.

He whispered, "Secretary Zeng, these are indeed people from the first and second streets, but half of them are temporary residents from outside, all renting houses. The demolition doesn't seem to affect them much."

"Oh, right, they don't have land interests. What are they doing here?"

This significant discovery made Zeng Xiaofeng pause.

At this moment, the city party secretary, the district mayor, and the emergency team from the city and district levels had already parked their cars on the roadside and were coming over in a large group, guided by the police to the sit-in area.

Zeng Xiaofeng and Zhang Weifa hurriedly went to meet them. It was almost the New Year, and suddenly this happened, clearly to make things difficult for them!

"Secretary Li, Vice Mayor Ren, District Mayor Pang..." They greeted one after another, but no one paid much attention to these two small officials.
