Chapter 475: The Big Leader Wants to Hear a Report

Liu Misi did not come alone this time.

Half a floor of the Huihuang Hotel was equipped with a high-level security team. Even when I tried to enter, I was stopped by a tall police officer.

With such a formation, even if the Provincial Party Secretary were visiting, it wouldn't be much more than this.

The police officer who stopped me was expressionless and looked incorruptible, telling me in all seriousness to go to the reception desk to register.

This police officer was definitely not from my Chunshan County police force! After this first thought arose, I looked at the other people coming and going, and sure enough, there were many unfamiliar faces.

The people at the reception desk saw me coming, stood up hurriedly to greet me, and asked in surprise, "County Magistrate Chen, do you still need to register first?"

I smiled noncommittally, took out my ID card, and let them go through the routine.

There were four people at the reception desk, two men and two women; I recognized three of them. One man was a cadre from the County Party Committee Office, and the two women were cadres from my government office.

"County Magistrate Chen, you don't need to register, do you?" they asked hesitantly, not daring to reach out to take my ID card.

"Register, it's all the same," I said insincerely, my eyes catching the back of someone.

"Reporter Chen," I called out, my voice not very loud.

The figure turned around; it was indeed Chen Meng, with a camera slung across her shoulder, wearing a well-tailored professional outfit, looking youthful and lively yet rigorous.

"Why did you just get here?" Chen Meng asked with a smile, lowering her voice, "Your Huang Weiwei is here too."

"Really?" I asked, beaming with joy, "How did she get here?"

"Do you know who came from America?"

I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.

"An American company president came, said to be the person specifically in charge of the Asian region. The province made arrangements and even sent cadres to receive and escort them all the way here. A big shot!" Chen Meng said seriously, "The Municipal Party Committee gave special instructions for full coverage."

"How many people came?" I asked.

"Including the provincial leaders, there are over twenty people in total. The American president alone has four bodyguards."

"Who came from the province?"

"The Executive Deputy Provincial Governor in charge of economic development."

"Truly impressive," I praised, "The security is tight."

"You don't even look at who came," Chen Meng curled her lip and said, "The God of Wealth."

I laughed, "In this day and age, money makes the world go round."

Chen Meng frowned and scolded, "Chen Feng, who are you calling a ghost? You're such a big person, and a leader at that, yet you speak without restraint. If others heard you, the impact would be bad."

I said with a cheeky smile, "There's no third person here, I'm just talking to you. Why be so serious."

"It's not good if it becomes a habit," Chen Meng sighed, "Why don't you go see your Huang Weiwei."

"How did she get here?" I asked suspiciously.

"I heard the American in charge of this project specifically requested her to accompany them. I don't know the specific reason."

"Where is she?"

"In the reception hall." Chen Meng turned and walked away, but after a few steps, she turned back and said, "Deputy Secretary He is also accompanying them. They are all in the reception hall."

"What are they doing in the reception hall?"

"Your Secretary Liu is reporting on work."

I said "Oh," feeling very unhappy. Liu Qimeng hid it from me and went to report to the leaders himself. How much does he know about the development of the project?

Did he deliberately avoid me? Did he have another motive? The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, so I simply pulled out a chair and sat down at the entrance of the reception desk.

Before I was even settled, I saw Zhu Hua Yu rushing out from inside, her face flushed, holding her phone and pressing the keypad.

Suddenly my phone rang. I took it out and saw it was actually Zhu Hua Yu calling, so I stood up and waved at her from afar.

Zhu Hua Yu saw me calling her, paused for a moment, then trotted over, anxious and hurried, "Hurry, let's go."

"Where to?" I asked suspiciously.

"The reception hall."

"What for?"

"Reporting on work." Zhu Hua Yu didn't care that there were people nearby, grabbed my hand, and walked inside.

The police officer on duty clearly knew Zhu Hua Yu's identity and didn't stop us at all, letting her drag me along as we trotted inside.

I broke free from Zhu Hua Yu's hand and asked, "What work are we reporting?"

Zhu Hua Yu said hurriedly, "Reporting on the situation of the Suxi Hot Spring Resort. Secretary He wants to hear it, and Liu Misi specifically requested you to speak."

"Isn't Secretary Liu there?"

"They want to hear from you."

"Secretary Liu asked you to find me?"

Zhu Hua Yu nodded very affirmatively, "Yes, Secretary Liu is so anxious he's almost gone gray."

"If I hadn't come back, who would you have found to report?" I asked irritably, but my feet didn't dare to stop for even a second.

Entering the reception hall, I saw the room was full of people. Among them were a few blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners. Liu Misi was sitting among them; seeing me enter, he winked and smiled.

I was just about to speak, but Secretary Liu stood up, grabbed me, and said, "Let me introduce you. This is our Chunshan County's Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Chen Feng. Now we will let him report on the work."

Someone took the lead in applauding, and everyone in the room followed suit. I scanned the room; besides the blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, there was my cousin-in-law, Deputy Secretary He, and a few cadres who looked very dignified.

They were probably the provincial cadres Chen Meng mentioned. I felt a bit flustered; it was my first time seeing so many big cadres gathered in one place, so nervousness was inevitable.

My cousin-in-law stood up with a smile, beckoned me over, brought me in front of a person with a serious and awe-inspiring face, and said, "Chen Shengzhang, this is Chunshan County's Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Chen Feng."

A smile bloomed on Chen Shengzhang's face, and he said, "I know. Come over and sit; we are of the same family, after all."

I accompanied him with a constrained smile. Once Chen Shengzhang spoke, he actually seemed amiable.

"I heard that Chunshan County's tourism project was handled by you personally?" Chen Shengzhang asked me, as if no one else was around.

I didn't know whether to nod or shake my head. I stole a glance at Liu Qimeng.

Liu Qimeng was expressionless, his eyelids lowered; I couldn't see any indication from him at all.

"Mr. Chen is my friend." Liu Misi took over the conversation, took a few steps to my side, hugged me, and said with a full face of smiles, "This person has ability."

He praised me shamelessly, making me feel ashamed.

Chen Shengzhang still smiled and said, "Good. Since you handled it personally, and today the investors and provincial and municipal leaders are all here, tell us, how do you plan to do it?"

I was momentarily speechless. Being asked to talk about my ideas so suddenly caught me off guard!

Chen Shengzhang saw my hesitation and comforted me, "Just say whatever you think. The province attaches great importance to your project, and the investment company attaches equal importance to it. Our American friends have traveled across the ocean to come here; you must give them an explanation."

I nodded submissively. When I first tricked Liu Misi into coming to Chunshan County to build the Hot Spring Resort, I didn't have many thoughts. I just thought that since Suxi had moved to a new place and occupied people's land, the government didn't have money to compensate them, so I had to find them a way to make a living.

Who knew that Liu Misi, the son of a bitch, would make such a big deal out of it, as if this Hot Spring Resort was something incredible.

To be honest, the resort as I envisioned it was no different from other hot spring resorts in the country; it wasn't worth making such a fuss. I started to regret it. Why did I ever think of holding some damn groundbreaking ceremony!

It was too late to regret! I sighed in my heart. Now that there was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire in front of me, I had to charge through it.

I suppressed my pounding heart and scanned the room again. I actually saw Huang Weiwei sitting in the corner, her eyes smiling, her gaze full of concern as she looked at me.

A sense of confidence rose from the bottom of my heart. I'll give it my all! ===== CHAPTER 476 =====
