622: Chapter 622: Double Regulation, A Matter of One Sentence!

Ding Li warmly greeted Xu Qianli, followed by Mayor Qin Houde and the major leaders from the city agencies.

This scene dumbfounded Zang Guohua.

Damn, didn’t Zhao Qiang say that Xu Qianli was just a minor character who couldn’t make it to the big stage?

How come Vice Mayor Sun Mingyuan came over to drink with Xu Qianli first, followed by all the notable officials of Quyang City?

Especially Secretary Ding and Mayor Qin, the top two figures in Quyang City’s political scene, were now extremely cordial in front of Xu Qianli.

He could even vaguely see humility in Secretary Ding, who seemed to respect Xu Qianli even more.

What the hell was this?

Xu Qianli hadn’t expected that just having a meal would bring all the major officials of Quyang City here.

He only found out that the banquet hall next to the restaurant was hosting a celebration banquet regarding the attraction of investments.

He had no idea who had spread the news that he was dining at the hotel, but as soon as Ding Li and others knew he was there, they immediately came over.

The whole Zhao family was stunned, “Oh my God, even Secretary Ding and Mayor Qin took the initiative to come drink with Xu Qianli.

Where does this kid get such great influence from?”

Even if he really was the Vice County Magistrate, a deputy division-level official, it didn’t justify Secretary Ding and Mayor Qin holding him in such high regard.

Director Chang Feng of Quyang City’s Education Bureau was also there.

Unable to squeeze next to Xu Qianli, he shifted his gaze to Ma Wei among Xu Qianli’s classmates and quickly spotted him, “Ah, Ma Wei, what are you doing here?

Do you know Vice County Magistrate Xu?”

With a smiling face, Ma Wei replied, “Director, not only do I know Xu Qianli, no, I mean Vice County Magistrate Xu, but we are also old classmates.”

“You and Vice County Magistrate Xu are old classmates?”

Hearing this, Chang Feng couldn’t help but regard Ma Wei more highly, “That’s a good connection to have.

I remember you’ve been with our Education Bureau for three years now, which qualifies you for a promotion.

There’s a deputy section head position opening up in our bureau, and there’s a spot for you.”

Ma Wei was almost delirious with happiness and kept thanking Director Chang.

He was well aware that the reason Director Chang promised him a promotion on the spot was definitely because of Xu Qianli’s influence.

This old classmate of his was really something, hiding his light under a bushel, truly impressive; his influence was not ordinary.

The classmates couldn’t help but regard Xu Qianli with even greater admiration.

Was this kid still the Xu Qianli they knew from back then?

They were all classmates who almost entered society at the same time, how had this kid become so formidable?

Ma Xiaoyan didn’t care about making a scene and called out to Ding Li, “Secretary Ding, my name is Ma Xiaoyan, and I am Xu Qianli’s classmate.

I have a question for you, he just got bullied, are you going to do something about it?”

As soon as Ma Xiaoyan spoke, the scene immediately quieted down.

Zang Guohua’s face turned pale, and his legs trembled.

Zhao Qiang’s face also looked terrible as he thought to himself, “This is bad.”

Ding Li’s gaze landed on Ma Xiaoyan as he said, “I’d like to hear, who dares to bully Vice County Magistrate Xu?”

“It was him and him!” Ma Xiaoyan pointed at Zhao Qiang and Zang Guohua, “Just a moment ago…”

Ma Xiaoyan narrated the whole incident.

Upon learning what had happened, Ding Li violently slammed his wine glass onto the floor and angrily burst out, “Zang Guohua, how dare you!

Allowing your nephew to commit wrongdoing, troubling Vice County Magistrate Xu, and disgracing our Quyang City!”

Zang Guohua shuddered all over and quickly slapped himself on the face.

“Secretary Ding, I was wrong, I didn’t know the real situation before, I was deceived by that kid Zhao Qiang.”

“He said someone was setting him up with a fake watch, extorting millions from him, and I believed it, only to offend Vice County Magistrate Xu.”

“I realize my mistake now, I’ll slap myself, I’ll apologize to Vice County Magistrate Xu.”

“Vice County Magistrate Xu, please calm down, I’m slapping myself to apologize to you…”

Zang Guohua kept slapping himself, one slap after another, up to a dozen times, quite viciously.

At that moment, he could have killed Zhao Qiang.

For all these years since he had been transferred to Quyang City, he had taken good care of Zhao Qiang’s family, helping them make a lot of money, buy a large house to move out of a common area, and drive luxury cars and wear brand clothing.

He had done enough for them.

Yet, they turned around and conned him, truly despicable!

Zang Guohua decided that after today, he must severely deal with Zhao Qiang!

Faced with Zang Guohua’s apologies, Xu Qianli said, “Director Zang, stop this act, I can’t accept this.”

Just now, he was ready to arrest me without any evidence, and now he thinks a few slaps will make me forgive him?

Dream on!

Ding Li said, “Zang Guohua, stop disgusting us here!

Someone, take him away, and deliver him to the Disciplinary Committee for an investigation!”

As the City Secretary, Ding Li had the final say in Quyang City.

At his command, people immediately rushed forward and subdued Zang Guohua.

“Secretary Ding, please spare me this time, Vice County Magistrate Xu, you are magnanimous, please forgive me…”

Zang Guohua cried out loudly, trying to struggle one last time, but it was completely useless, and he was quickly dragged away.

Zhao Qiang’s face was ashen, he fell to the ground in disarray, unable to stand firmly, trembling all over, and incredulously stared at Xu Qianli, “You, Xu Qianli, how did you become so powerful, how do you have such strong connections?”

Zhao Qiang’s family, having a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau as a connection, had mixed quite well in Quyang City in recent years, living a very comfortable life.

Thinking of climbing any higher, reaching more powerful people, was something he dared not even dream about.

Yet Xu Qianli, who was obviously developing his career elsewhere, why does he come back to Quyang City and even the Mayor and City Secretary show him respect?

Why, why is this?

Ma Xiaoyan said, “Zhao Qiang, you still have the cheek to question Xu Qianli, how dare you ask?

Xu Qianli considered you an old classmate, while you treated him like a dog, thinking you could kick him around.

Well, you’ve hit a steel plate now, you deserve it!”

Ma Wei said, “Exactly, Vice County Magistrate Xu is now on a completely different level from us, yet still treats us like in the old days.

You, relying on having made a little dirty money, dare not take Vice County Magistrate Xu seriously, it’s simply ridiculous!

I advise you to quickly admit your mistake, perhaps Vice County Magistrate Xu might forgive you.”

“I’m not wrong!”

“I, Zhao Qiang, am not wrong!”

“It’s Xu Qianli who set me up, certainly that’s the case!”

“So what if he is a Vice County Magistrate, how much could his salary possibly be, and yet he buys a luxury watch worth four million five hundred thousand for his parents; he must have embezzled a great deal, I want to report him, I want to report him to the Disciplinary Committee!”

“Xu Qianli, you’ve embezzled so much dirty money, you’re done for!”

Zhao Qiang yelled loudly, why should he, having lived across the door from Xu Qianli since childhood, always be inferior to Xu Qianli, why is it that even after entering society, he is still utterly defeated?

He won’t accept this, today he must destroy Xu Qianli no matter what!
