Seeing such a scene, Minister Yang and Li Wen were instantly startled.
Who was this young man?
To actually make Secretary Zhang act so politely.
Furthermore, they had initially thought that among these youngsters, only Xia Fei had some background.
But now, it seemed that was not the case at all.
After exchanging a glance, the two obviously realized that the situation was not simple. They quickly walked over, and Li Wen couldn't help but ask, Secretary Zhang, may I ask who this is...
You are not qualified to know, Secretary Zhang said indifferently.
As soon as these words came out, Li Wen immediately frowned, but he did not dare to retort.
Although he was the director of the administration bureau, in terms of position and everything else, Secretary Zhang was clearly higher.
This was the liaison officer of the municipal party committee, a genuine deputy-departmental level official. How could a mere director of the administration bureau like him compare?
However, for Secretary Zhang to say such a thing right in front of Minister Yang was clearly going a bit too far.
It should be known that this was a minister from Dong Province, also at the departmental level, an existence on the same level as Zhou De.
Sure enough, Minister Yang's face instantly darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
However, before he could say anything, the sound of sudden braking came from outside the orphanage gates.
When they saw Zhou De step out of the car, everyone was startled again, especially Minister Yang and Li Wen. They didn't understand how this matter could have escalated to such a degree.
Not only had it alarmed Secretary Zhang, but now even Zhou De had rushed over personally.
Director Shen was completely stunned in place, looking at Qin Ning and the others with a face full of disbelief.
Although he knew that this group of people were all top-tier wealthy merchants in Liu City, he never expected that beyond the identities he knew, Qin Ning and the others seemed to have a layer of background that was impossible to fathom.
Director Zhou.
After reacting, Minister Yang quickly went up to greet him right away, smiling and reaching out his hand.
However, Zhou De ignored him completely and bypassed him directly. He immediately arrived in front of Qin Ning, bowed slightly, and said, Apologies, Young Master Qin. I already had someone investigate the matter clearly on my way here. This is a negligence and dereliction of duty in our work. Please do not take offense.
This scene directly left Minister Yang and the others dumbfounded on the spot.
What was going on?
Zhou De, the dignified top leader of Liu City, was actually being so polite to such a young man at this moment?
Who was he?
Young Master Qin?
Since when did the country have such an incredibly awesome young man?
Could it be some great young master from the capital?
But even so, with Zhou De's status, it would be impossible for him to go to such lengths, right?
More importantly, Minister Yang scoured through the information in his mind but couldn't find much about the surname Qin.
He hadn't heard of any big shot in the capital with the surname Qin either.
It's fine, Uncle Zhou. This matter has nothing to do with you. However, I hope it can be handled according to normal procedures. If the city wants to develop, the orphanage naturally won't block it for no reason. If it needs to be relocated, it will be relocated. But before relocating, you guys have to prepare a place, right? Qin Ning said.
Yes, yes, Young Master Qin. I will definitely handle this matter personally and guarantee you a satisfactory answer. Zhou De breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that Qin Ning was giving face to Lin Lan and Zhou Ping'an by not holding it against him.
If it were anyone else, they might have just made a direct phone call to the capital, and everyone in Liu City, from top to bottom, would be stripped of their positions.
Minister Yang and the others, not far behind, were all scared silly. Just how big of a background must he have to make Zhou De, the top leader, show such an attitude?
However, after his surprise, Minister Yang quickly calmed down again.
He was, after all, a departmental-level official just like Zhou De, and furthermore, he was from Dong Province. There was nothing to be afraid of.
Even if this Young Master Qin really had some capabilities he didn't know about, at a level like his, it wouldn't be so easy for someone to pull him down.
Just as he was thinking this in his heart, the sound of braking rang out again outside the courtyard gate.
Minister Yang and Li Wen were numb. Zhou De had already arrived; could there be another big shot about to make an appearance?
Thinking this, their gazes followed.
They saw that it was actually a military vehicle.
Six people quickly got out of the vehicle, all fully armed. Two guarded the sides of the courtyard gate, while three approached them, immediately surrounding their group. The dark muzzles of guns were pressed against their foreheads, instantly scaring Minister Yang soft in the legs.
Wang Yousheng jogged all the way in front of Qin Ning, then solemnly gave him a standard military salute and shouted loudly, Reporting to the Chief! Wang Yousheng reporting to you. We just received instructions stating that someone was threatening the Chief's safety, and we were specially ordered to come and protect you.
Just now, they had been training in the villa when they suddenly received a phone call from Zhou De. Not daring to overthink it, Wang Yousheng immediately ordered everyone to gear up and set out.
Chief?
Seeing Wang Yousheng actually address this young man as Chief, whether it was Director Shen and his people or Minister Yang and Li Wen, all of their hearts began to pound violently.
Captain... Captain Wang?
After reacting, Minister Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He had seen Wang Yousheng once before when he went to the capital. He had felt he looked familiar just now, but he hadn't connected the two.
But when he heard the other party call himself Wang Yousheng, he instantly realized.
Wasn't this person responsible for protecting that existence in the capital?
How could he be in Liu City?
And he was calling this Qin Ning Chief?
Do I still need your protection?
Qin Ning couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, and then waved his hand at Wang Yousheng. All of you, withdraw for now. Don't frighten the children in the courtyard.
Yes, Chief!
Wang Yousheng responded, then waved his hand, leading the several team members outside the courtyard gate to stand guard there.
This... Young Master Qin...
Minister Yang brought Li Wen over, his voice already sounding somewhat trembling.
Although he still couldn't figure out exactly what identity Qin Ning held, what was certain was that the other party's background must be so immense that it exceeded his imagination and comprehension.
Qin Ning merely glanced at him and did not speak.
Right at this moment, Zhou De walked over holding a mobile phone. Young Master Qin, a call from Elder Zeng.
Hearing the words Elder Zeng, Minister Yang was directly scared limp right there.
Li Wen perhaps still didn't realize anything, but how could he not understand which Elder Zeng Zhou De was talking about?
Qin Ning nodded lightly, took the phone, and placed it by his ear.
Qin Ning, I will personally have someone keep an eye on the orphanage matter. Don't take it to heart.
Elder Zeng's voice came from the other end of the phone.
He naturally knew that Qin Ning had grown up in this orphanage, and he also understood the level of importance the other party attached to it. Therefore, he naturally did not want Qin Ning to have the slightest dissatisfaction with the country because of this matter.
Naturally, Qin Ning wouldn't blow things out of proportion over a matter like this. After exchanging a few brief words, he hung up the phone and glanced at Zhou De. "Uncle Zhou, I will have to trouble you to handle the situation here for now. The old director and I still have some things to discuss."

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
