BXBX NOVEL Chapter 700 - A Small Favor
Chapter 700: A Small Favor
“Deputy Secretary Lin!”
Qin Xiangyi went up to greet him.
The last time they met, Lin Jianjun was transferred to the city and became the third-in-command.
Then, she greeted his wife. “Sis Yun!”
Su Yun smiled and said, “Congratulations, Xiangyi!”
After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them greeted Tang Hao. When they walked past him, Su Yun was going to say something but stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Tang Hao asked in surprise.
He could tell that Su Yun wanted to say something.
“Nothing!” Su Yun smiled and said. As she said that, she held Lin Jianjun’s hand and walked in.
Tang Hao was puzzled for a while, but he did not pay much attention to it.
After welcoming the last guest, the two of them entered the venue.
Soon, the dinner party began, and the atmosphere became extremely lively. The dishes were all magical cuisine, including the fantasy fish that had attracted Yan Lili.
It was half-past nine when the dinner party ended.
The two of them sent the guests off.
“It’s finally over!” After sending off the last person, Qin Xiangyi heaved a sigh of relief.
She turned around and stared at Tang Hao.
“Lil Tang, today... is the happiest day of my life!” She murmured, held Tang Hao’s hand, and shook it hard.
They exchanged some sweet nothings. Then, she held Tang Hao’s hand and led him outside.
After a night of cultivation and fun, the two of them went to bed very late. The next morning, Tang Hao woke up early as usual to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, they were about to go out when Tang Hao received a phone call.
He picked it up and saw that it was from Lin Jianjun.
Tang Hao was curious. It seemed that they did have something to tell him last night.
Tang Hao answered the call and said, “Good morning, Deputy Secretary Lin. What’s the matter?”
Lin Jianjun was silent for a moment and said, “I have something to ask for your help.”
“What is it? Tell me!” Tang Hao said candidly.
“It’s like this. Recently, I got into some trouble because of something. The other party was just transferred from the Capital, and he has a powerful background. Now, he wants to act against me.
“I don’t think I stand a chance against him because of his background. After thinking about it, I can only trouble you!” Lin Jianjun said bitterly.
Tang Hao frowned and said, “What’s his background?”
“He’s the personal secretary of a high-ranking official, so he’s a bigshot when he comes here. He’s the fourth-in-command, but he’s even more powerful than me, the third-in-command. Because of this, there were some conflicts and grudges!”
“Personal secretary?” Tang Hao was surprised. “What’s his name?”
He did not know much about the political situation in the city.
“He’s called Liu Jihua!”
“What about that high-ranking official? What’s his rank?” Tang Hao said.
“He’s quite big, but not as big as the Zhou family!” Lin Jianjun said.
“That’s easy!” Tang Hao said with a relaxed expression.
That person was only a personal secretary, and his backer was less powerful than the Zhou family. That made it easy. It was only a small favor.
“Let’s get it done today. Can you invite him for a meeting? Let’s talk to him!” Tang Hao said.
“OK! Thank you very much!” Lin Jianjun said gratefully.
“Don’t mention it!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Deputy Secretary Lin had taken care of him in the past, and he had always been grateful. He would help him wherever he could.
Lin Jianjun smiled and felt a little emotional.
He had witnessed Tang Hao’s rise to eminence. He started as an unknown teenager, but now Haotian’s name was known throughout Huaxia, and Tang Hao became more and more influential.
He did not expect that the awkward teenager back then could achieve such amazing achievements in only two years.
After ending the call, Tang Hao told Qin Xiangyi about the matter.
After sending her to the company, Tang Hao rushed to the city.
Tang Hao saw Lin Jianjun on the second floor of a teahouse near the city administrative headquarters. In front of the deputy secretary sat a refined and bookish middle-aged man in a trim business suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
However, his attitude was arrogant.
“What’s there to discuss about, Lin Jianjun?” He sneered and said rudely, “You’ve embarrassed me in public, and now you want to reconcile? In your dreams!
“Weren’t you all smug and righteous before? You’ve turned into a coward!”
Liu Jihua’s face was full of mockery and contempt.
Lin Jianjun was born and raised in Province Z. It was not bad, but it was no match for the Capital.
Meanwhile, Liu Jihua was from the Capital. He was well-educated and well-connected. His current position in the province was only a stepping stone to reach greater heights. A country bumpkin like Lin Jianjun could not compare.
Even the city mayor had to be polite to him, but that country bumpkin dared to oppose him. He was not going to take that lying down.
Lin Jianjun frowned. He was beginning to feel angry.
However, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“It’s almost time to go to work. I should go! Let me tell you, Lin Jianjun. Do you want to reconcile? No way! We’ll see what happens!”
After saying that, Liu Jihua stood up, pushed his glasses, and was about to turn around and leave.
“You’re already here. Why are you leaving?”
Tang Hao walked over and said with a smile.
Liu Jihua was stunned.
‘What the hell? Where did this kid come from? What arrogance! How dare he speak to a deputy mayor like that?’
“Who are you?” He was a little angry.
Tang Hao walked over and sat down beside Lin Jianjun. He pointed at the seat in front of him and said, “Sit down and let’s talk!”
Liu Jihua was getting more and more annoyed.
‘This kid who appeared out of nowhere is speaking to me in such a rude tone. What has the world come to?’
He glanced at Lin Jianjun and saw that he was not surprised at all. He frowned and thought to himself, ‘Is this kid coming to help Lin Jianjun?’
He immediately laughed, thinking that it was quite ridiculous.
‘Did Lin Jianjun knock his head on something? Does he think that he can intimidate me with this twenty-something-year-old kid? What a joke!’
After sizing up Tang Hao again, he could not help but laugh.
Liu Jihua had never seen Tang Hao before. If Tang Hao was not the son of some high-ranking official, then he was not intimidating at all.
“Are you stupid, Lin Jianjun?”
He sneered and was about to leave.
Tang Hao’s expression turned cold as he reprimanded, “Stop there. I told you to sit, so sit down. Don’t talk so much nonsense!”
Liu Jihua almost popped a vein when he heard that.
‘What the hell?
‘How arrogant!’
“You, you... what’s your name? Tell me your name! Don’t you know who I am?” He said in a flustered manner.
Tang Hao sneered and said, “Liu Jihua, right? Of course I know!
“Now, sit down and shut up. In a while, you will receive a call from your backer telling you what to do.
“Before that, please sit down obediently. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
As Tang Hao said that, his tone turned cold.
Hearing that, Liu Jihua laughed out loud.
‘This kid is insane! What nonsense is he talking about, acting like some bigshot? How would he know who my backer is?
‘Can he contact my backer? He probably doesn’t even have his phone number!’
“Sure! Then I’ll wait!”
He smiled coldly and sat down. He even took out his phone and placed it on the table.
