Chapter 634: Chapter 633, Why Offend Xu Wendong by Provoking Just Anyone?

Liu Shimei looked aghast and said, ”That proposal was just delivered to the Haicheng Business Association last night. I estimate they’re holding a celebration right now. With the project suspended at this time, they’ll definitely be upset.”

If the proposal had not been approved, it would’ve been fine.

The problem was.

The proposal was clearly approved.

But having them pause the project, anyone would have an opinion.

Xu Wendong stretched his legs onto the desk, a mysterious smile on his face, ”Even if they’re upset, so what?”

Liu Shimei rolled her eyes at him.

It felt like Xu Wendong was being a rascal.

As he had just said, even if the people from the Haicheng Business Association were upset, they wouldn’t dare do anything.

------

Haicheng Business Association.

This was an association founded by the upper echelon of Haicheng society, aiming to progress together and create a glorious future.

Because of the Haicheng Business Association’s existence, no external consortium had managed to enter Haicheng to this day.

They were exceptionally united, controlling the economic lifeline of Haicheng.

Today.

Dozens of large and small shareholders from the Haicheng Business Association gathered to celebrate the approval of the old city renovation project.

As long as this project was secured, everyone would profit immensely.

Just as everyone was discussing the future enthusiastically.

The president of the Haicheng Business Association, Wang Run, had his phone ring. He gestured for silence, and when it quieted down, he answered Liu Shimei’s call with a smile and asked, ”Secretary Liu, do you have any instructions?”

Wang Run’s status in Haicheng wasn’t low.

However.

Liu Shimei was the secretary of the deputy director of the urban planning bureau; someone like him wouldn’t dare offend.

”What? Project suspension? Why?” Wang Run was completely confused. He had just gone to the urban planning bureau yesterday afternoon to retrieve his proposal, which was signed by Xu Wendong.

But never would he have expected that after just one night, the higher-ups would halt this project.

What was that supposed to mean?

Messing with us?

”President Wang, this is Director Xu’s decision, I don’t know why either. That’s it for now, if there’s any progress, I’ll contact you immediately.”

Hearing the beeping tone from the other end of the call, Wang Run snapped back to reality from his shock.

The others looked even more serious.

They hadn’t expected the project to be suspended either.

A project that had just been approved was halted before it even began officially, indicating that this matter wasn’t simple.

Vice President Lin Xi couldn’t help but say, ”Could it be that someone offended Director Xu? Or annoyed him? Otherwise, why would he halt this project?”

Lin Qing said dismissively, ”Dad, you’re overthinking it. Everyone in Haicheng’s officialdom knows Director Xu is the most mysterious and low-key. It’s as difficult as climbing the sky for ordinary people to even see him, let alone offend him.”

”If someone really offended Director Xu, whoever it is, we must make them pay dearly. We can’t let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel, nor let one person’s actions affect our Haicheng Business Association’s future.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Run looked at Lin Qing with appreciation, feeling like he had grown up, and then said, ”I’ll go make a phone call.” With that, he walked out.

About five minutes later.

Wang Run returned to the meeting room with a smile and looked at everyone. ”I just called Director Deng, he’ll go to Director Xu to understand the situation.”

Everyone was overjoyed.

If Deng Changhai, the top leader, stepped in personally, how could Xu Wendong dare to defy his wishes?

The old city renovation project would surely be restarted.

------

Urban Planning Bureau.

”Come in!”

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Wendong put down the book in his hands.

”Director Xu, what are you busy with?” Deng Changhai entered with a can of tea in his hand.

”Not busy with much, just reading!” Xu Wendong rose to greet him with a smile, ”Director Deng, you didn’t have to bring anything when you came.”

”There’s a saying that it’s rude not to return the favor. Last time you gave me tea, so I have to show some gesture in return too,” Deng Changhai handed the tea to Xu Wendong, ”Though this tea isn’t as good as your Dahongpao, it’s aged Biluochun, and each has its uniqueness and flavor.”

Xu Wendong said, ”Then I’ll have to savor it well.”

Deng Changhai replied, ”It’s truly excellent.”

Xu Wendong glanced at Deng Changhai, smiling, ”Director Deng didn’t come just to return the favor, did you?”

Deng Changhai laughed heartily, ”Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Director Xu. There’s no major issue actually, just that President Wang of the Haicheng Business Association called to ask why you halted the old city renovation project?”

Xu Wendong had long guessed the reason for Deng Changhai’s visit; he asked calmly, ”Director Deng, what do you think is the significance of the existence of the Haicheng Business Association?”

Deng Changhai replied, ”The existence of the Haicheng Business Association is naturally to serve the people of Haicheng, to improve their living development space.”

”Yes,” Xu Wendong said, ”But some have forgotten the significance of the Haicheng Business Association. Not only that, they even bully and suppress the people.”

Deng Changhai looked surprised, ”Is there really such a thing?”

Xu Wendong shrugged with a smile, ”I have a friend who opened a yoga studio, but because she refused the landlord’s son’s advances, her rent was increased by fifty percent.”

”After refusing, my friend thought of renting elsewhere, but guess what?”

”When she called other places, they all said the place was already rented, but when calling with a different number, the landlord said it was still available.”

Deng Changhai’s face turned dark, ”That is indeed excessive!”

Xu Wendong handed a cigarette to Deng Changhai and said, ”I admit, I abused my power in this matter by standing up for my friend.”

”But my friend has another identity; she is just a lawful and ordinary citizen of Haicheng.”

Deng Changhai took a drag on the cigarette, his gaze deep, ”From what you’re saying, is someone from the Haicheng Business Association bullying and deliberately making it difficult for the people?”

Xu Wendong replied, ”Lin Qing, the son of the vice president of the Haicheng Business Association.”

A cold glint flashed through Deng Changhai’s eyes, ”Alright, I understand the situation now. I will definitely restore fairness and ensure that such things are completely prohibited from now on,” he said as he got up and left.

Back in his office.

Deng Changhai angrily dialed Wang Run’s number, informing him of the situation and angrily cursing, ”Ask Lin Xi, that bastard, if he knows how to discipline his son. If he doesn’t know how to educate his son, then chop him up and feed him to the dogs!”

”Damn it, couldn’t he offend someone else instead of Xu Wendong?”

Wang Run was shocked, completely not expecting that it was all because of that guy Lin Qing.

After hanging up the phone.

He returned to the conference room with a grim face, just as Lin Qing couldn’t wait any longer, ”Uncle Wang, how did it go?”
