Chief Zhang’s legs went soft and he knelt on the ground. He grabbed Li Zhengkang’s thigh and immediately shouted, “City Lord! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. My old man, Zhang Ehai, used to be Old Master Li’s secretary!”

“Don’t look at the monk’s face but the Buddha’s face… Please spare me this time.”

Li Zhengkang was stunned for a moment.

Then, he swung his hand and gave himself a big bag.

Although Director Wang was shy and didn’t say anything, how could Li Zhengkang not understand?

Although this Chief Zhang was of a lower rank, he had been in Jinhai Land Bureau for a long time and even had the identity of a deputy director. Although Director Wang was a young rookie with good strength, he had only been in office for two or three years.

If he wanted to eliminate the evil within, his strength would be slightly awkward.

At this moment, the relevant documents were handed over.

It had to be said that Li Zhengkang was definitely capable.

He only flipped through the thick document, giving off the feeling that he didn’t even look at it carefully. However, it had only been three minutes, and he didn’t even seem to miss a single name. He gritted his teeth and said, “Old Zhang, Old Zhang, what do you want me to say?”

“D*mn it, your nephew has a shell company. The registered capital is only 10 million, and you dare to hand over a project worth more than 1 billion to him? You’ve really used this bit of power to its fullest!”

“This red stamp… You’ve really covered my face!”

“City Lord… I was wrong, I was wrong, City Lord.”

Li Zhengkang sighed, got up, and patted Director Wang’s shoulder. “Roll up your sleeves and clean up the Jin Hai Land Bureau. This time, I’m your backing! You have to understand. Forget about being the old man’s secretary, even if the old man came personally, he would also fire himself if he made a mistake. Do you understand?”

“I, Li Zhengkang, will personally write a self-reflection letter to my superiors regarding this matter! From top to bottom, even the clerk has to put the review on my desk and let me read it personally!”

What was awe-inspiring?

Jiang Yueming thought that he was usually powerful enough, but when he saw Li Zhengkang’s performance at this moment, he realized how weak he was. Then he looked at Xu Wenping, who was lowering his head to light a cigarette, and he realized how strong his boss was.

At this moment, it could be said that he had come to collect his anger.

However, Xu Wenping’s performance was like the clear light of the river and sea. His sharpness was restrained and he did not show it. It was a stark contrast to the so-called second-generation rich man’s image just now.

Li Zhengkang left as fast as the wind and would not linger.

Xu Wenping and Jiang Yueming followed behind.

In the office, Director Wang smiled bitterly and said, “Chief Zhang, I can’t do anything about your soft persuasion. It seems like you’ve really met a tough nut this time.”

“Ah, that’s right. That young man earlier…”

Direcotr Wang had just asked when Chief Zhang’s face turned sallow. He gritted his teeth and said, “Aiyo…Why didn’t I think of it? To be the chairman of the Imperial Corporation at such a young age, and to be so arrogant in front of me… I, I should have thought of it earlier, sigh! One misstep leads to a thousand years of regret.”

Director Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head at Chief Zhang’s unrepentant behavior. “Chief Zhang, you didn’t die in vain.”

“If you listen to me, you’ll at most be disciplined. This time, I don’t think there’s any reason for me to ignore you.”

“When the Li family flourished, they were only half a step away from the peak of power. Use your stupid brain to think. Can City Lord Li be limited to being the lord of a city? Even if City Lord Li can only become a provincial governor in his lifetime, it can be considered that his family has fallen!”

“Just staring at that small profit? What should I say about you?”

Chief Zhang was slightly stunned, but it was too late.

If he followed Li Zhengkang, he would be promoted the fastest. People with real foresight had long seen this opportunity. If he was fated to be a deputy city-level official in this life, why couldn’t he smoke Golden River cigarettes for the rest of his life?

Some people couldn’t see through it!

At this moment, Li Zhengkang and the others had already gone out. Jiang Yueming followed behind, while Li Zhengkang maintained his pace and actually walked with Xu Wenping.

“Xiao Xu, I’ve made a fool of myself today. Let’s agree that we mustn’t complain to the old man.” After Li Zhengkang came out, he immediately switched to a vice smiley face.

“What are you talking about?” Xu Wenping smiled bitterly.

“Sigh!”

Li Zhengkang sighed and said, “Although I have some ability, the old man has too much hope for me. Actually, I’ll let you know. My task of cleaning up the internal department is still a long way ahead.”

“This Jin Hai City is already rotten to the core!”

You want to talk about dealing with several senior officials. But… the upper beams in Jinhai City are all straight, but the lower beams are always crooked! I have dealt with batch after batch of people like Chief Zhang!”

“When they see a superior like us, they will talk glibly and make things difficult for the small enterprises below every day. Ever since I took office, I focused on the people’s livelihood and neglected business development. But which was more important? You should be able to understand a thing or two, right?”

Xu Wenping’s spirit was lifted, and he said, “I have some understanding. Only by uniting the masses and not separating from the masses is the most important thing. Although I’m a businessman, I don’t have that much of a concept of business.”

“Uncle Li, since you’ve said so much. If you need me to serve the people of Jin Hai City, I will do my best. If there is a need, I am especially willing to do my best!”

Li Zhengkang raised his eyebrows and then smiled. “My judgment of people is still not as good as the Old Master’s. I always thought that one was too impetuous when you were young.”

“Since you’ve already said that, go to the municipal government tomorrow and invest 200 million yuan in the orphanage project. I won’t return a single cent of this money! You still have to invest another 300 million!”

Xu Wenping nodded happily and turned his head. “Hear that? Yueming!”

“Yes, sir! Chairman!” Jiang Yueming was more excited than usual.

Not to mention the Imperial Corporation, Xu Wenping’s current balance was enough to invest 500 million yuan, not to mention the pharmaceutical company he had just acquired.

Investment and dedication were the true path of great business.

Hearing that Xu Wenping agreed so readily, Li Zhenghao’s eyes flashed with surprise. Before he got into the car, he patted Xu Wenping’s shoulder and said, “Today, you treated me to this meal and made me earn another 500 million yuan. Xiao Xu, ah, Xiao Xu! You’re much more scheming than those old foxes!” “Haha! In Uncle Li’s words, as long as I have the ability, it is my duty to serve the people. Uncle Li, I was pretending just now. My father is your father’s guard. Of course, I will stand guard for you!”

“Bullsh*t!”

Li Zhengkang rolled his eyes and said, “There’s no need to talk about our relationship. If my father doesn’t marry my daughter to you, we’ll be of the same generation. Just call me Brother Li.”

“Uh…”

“If you get married, you’ll have to change the way you address me! Hahaha, it’s a blessing to have a confidant!”
