How About Letting My Sister-in-Law Dance for Me?
“Is that all?”
Zhang Kuisan was extremely surprised.
He had thought that Xu Qianli had some leverage over him and would make some extremely harsh demands.
He didn’t expect it to be so simple—just to stop suppressing those people.
Could it be that Xu Qianli didn’t have anything truly fatal on him, hence he didn’t dare to make more outrageous demands?
Yes, that was a possibility.
If it were true, he could completely ignore Xu Qianli.
Not only would he not need to agree to Xu Qianli’s requests, but he could also totally crush him, leaving him no chance to turn things around.
But Zhang Kuisan wasn’t entirely sure.
What if he guessed wrong and Xu Qianli, desperate, actually revealed something extremely detrimental to him?
Right now, the most urgent and critical matter was Wei Yong.
He needed to find a way to meet him and ask exactly how much he had revealed to Xu Qianli.
After figuring everything out, he would consider how to deal with Xu Qianli.
Thinking he had a clear understanding of the situation, Zhang Kuisan laughed heartily.
“I thought it was something major.
This is just a trifle.
I’ll send out a notice tomorrow and have those few reinstated.”
“Xu Qianli, seeing that I’ve agreed to your request, shouldn’t you reciprocate?”
“Reciprocate?” Xu Qianli couldn’t help but laugh, “Your so-called reciprocation is handing over Wei Yong to you, right?
No problem, you can take him.
As for what you promised, tomorrow is too late, issue the notice immediately when you return to your office.”
“No problem, I agree.”
Zhang Kuisan readily agreed; there wasn’t much difference between tomorrow and today.
He had thought that Xu Qianli would delay and be reluctant to hand over Wei Yong; he didn’t expect him to agree so readily, leaving Zhang Kuisan feeling a bit shocked.
It seemed the situation was worse than he imagined; this youngster, Xu Qianli, must have caught onto something fatal.
Regardless, he would get hold of Wei Yong first.
Quickly, Zhang Kuisan left the office to fetch the person, eager to find out what leverage Xu Qianli held over him.
Xu Qianli didn’t care at all.
After all, Wei Yong was a living person; he couldn’t just kill him to silence him.
With Zhang Kuisan’s power in Jiang City, he would find out everything sooner or later.
Rather than hiding it, it was better to let him know clearly how much of a threat he posed, not fearing that he would not yield.
As for the materials in hand, if handed over to the City Disciplinary Inspection Committee, it would probably be enough to give Zhang Kuisan a hard time.
But now was not the time.
If he did that, it was easy to be investigated as the instigator, leaving a bad impression of using any means necessary to achieve his goals on the city officials, which would definitely affect his future prospects.
Unless absolutely necessary, Xu Qianli didn’t want to take that step yet.
Right after Zhang Kuisan left, Wu Kai rushed in, “Buddy, how did it go?”
“Don’t worry, it’s all settled.
By this afternoon at the latest, your and Zhang Tao’s positions, along with those of the others, will be restored.
He won’t trouble you guys lightly anymore.”
Xu Qianli assured.
He was well aware that after showing his fangs, Zhang Kuisan’s primary target would be him, Xu Qianli, not bothering Wu Kai and Zhang Tao.
Facing increased pressure in the future, even risks to his life, Xu Qianli couldn’t care less for now; first, he had to get himself and people like Wu Kai through this hurdle.
Hearing Xu Qianli say this, Wu Kai was greatly relieved and patted Xu Qianli’s shoulder vigorously.
“Buddy, we owe you big time for this.
If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
“Tonight, come over to my place, and I’ll have your sister-in-law whip up some good dishes.
We brothers can have a few drinks together!”
Wu Kai was absolutely thrilled.
Once he got Xu Qianli’s promise, he knew things were settled, and he had finally secured his position as the deputy captain of the county criminal police squad.
Although he had no idea how Xu Qianli managed to persuade Zhang Kuisan to step back, no matter what, Xu Qianli had done him and all his brothers a massive favor.
It was a huge act of gratitude, and he definitely had to express his thanks properly.
Xu Qianli said with a smile, “What are we brothers thanking each other for?
That’s so formal.
If you really want to thank me, forget about the dishes.
How about asking your sister-in-law to perform a dance for me?”
Xu Qianli joked with a grin; he knew very well that Wu Kai’s wife, before marrying him, was from the Provincial Dance Troupe, and probably had better dance skills than Xu Shuman.
Hearing this, Wu Kai scratched his head and said with a goofy smile, “Buddy, if it’s anything else, I guarantee it, but if I asked my wife to dance for you, she might eat me alive.
However, I’ll try my best to persuade her, just can’t guarantee it.”
“Come on, I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously.”
“I’ve got something else on tonight.
I’ll visit your place another day.
Tonight, just spend some quality time with your sister-in-law and try to hurry up and bring me a big nephew to play with,” Xu Qianli said.
A big nephew?
Upon hearing Xu Qianli’s words, a trace of bitterness flashed across Wu Kai’s face.
He wanted to say something but in the end, kept quiet.
While they were talking, Xu Qianli’s phone rang.
It was from Xu Shuman.
Wu Kai saw this and went off to attend to his own business.
As soon as Xu Qianli answered the call, sharp and snide remarks from Xu Shuman came through.
“Xu Qianli, where are you?”
“I’ve left your things at the door, and you never come to pick them up.
If they get stolen, don’t blame me!”
Xu Qianli responded, “Listen to me, that apartment is rented in my name.
Is it appropriate for you to throw my stuff out?
Immediately bring my things back inside.
If anything goes missing, I’ll spank you until your butt blooms!”
“Tch, so what if it’s rented under your name?
Our whole family lives there.
You’ve got guts to kick us out!”
“Besides, you want to spank me?
Let me tell you, someone’s introducing me to the County Party Secretary’s nephew, and though he’s just a deputy level now, he’s sure to get promoted by the end of the year.
Soon, I’ll be a high and mighty official’s wife.”
“If you dare touch a hair on me, I will deal with you harshly in the future!”
Hearing this, Xu Qianli could only laugh, as he had correctly guessed that she had already started looking for another prospect.
“The County Party Secretary’s grandnephew, a young deputy-level cadre, what a perfect diamond bachelor.”
“Too bad, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to have you as his girlfriend.”
“Not just him, from today on, no one in Jiang City will dare to pursue you!”
“Unless you leave Jiang City, you might as well give up your dreams of being an official’s wife.”
With that, Xu Qianli hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Shuman’s reply.
It was time he headed over to the County Government.
