"Martial Aunt."
In Guangning City, at a hilltop villa, Jiang Yunshan, who was currently cultivating in his room, saw the caller ID and hastily answered the phone.
Following that, Qin Fei briefly explained the situation to him.
"To think such a thing happened!"
Jiang Yunshan was furious. "Don't worry, Martial Aunt. I'll have someone handle it right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yunshan immediately called his grandson, Jiang Zhi, and told him the whole story from beginning to end. Finally, he said, "Leave for Liu City immediately and handle this in person. If you screw this up and upset your Martial Aunt, don't bother coming back!"
"I understand, Grandpa. I'll book a flight right now!"
Not daring to hesitate, Jiang Zhi quickly called his secretary into the office, handed down the orders, and then added, "Contact that liquor company in Bin City right now. Tell their person in charge to roll over to Liu City overnight!"
...
The next day, Zhuo Zhikuan and Cheng Mo, who had also spent the night at the villa, woke up early in the morning, ready to head to several liquor companies in Liu City to discuss cooperation.
This was the actual purpose of their trip to Liu City.
Qin Fei thought about it. Since she was bored anyway, she decided to tag along and take a look.
With her making a move, Cheng Weiyang, Su Xingwan, and Gu Siyu naturally followed.
Xia Fei, Wang Er, and the others were acting even more like little shadows following right behind them.
Soon, several cars parked outside the villa. Qin Ning wasn't cultivating and had planned to watch some TV, but Qin Fei dragged him along to get out and relax.
With followers like Wang Er and Xia Fei around, Cheng Mo and Zhuo Zhikuan's business negotiations went incredibly smoothly.
Around noon, Qin Ning and the group decided to find a restaurant for lunch.
Just as they reached the restaurant entrance, his phone rang. It was Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi had rushed to Liu City overnight, but because it was too late, he naturally didn't dare to disturb them then.
"Young Master Qin, are you free right now? I've already arrived in Liu City..." he asked cautiously.
"I'm just about to grab a bite with Little Fei and the others. We're over in the north side of the city. Come on over, I'll send you the address." After saying that, Qin Ning hung up directly.
After sending the address to Jiang Zhi, the group entered a private room in the restaurant.
Just as the food was served, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Zhi walked in.
"Young Master Qin."
"Martial Aunt."
He bowed respectfully to Qin Ning and Qin Fei.
"Just call me Little Fei. Hearing 'Martial Aunt' makes me feel old," Qin Fei said with a smile.
"Understood, Martial... Little Fei."
"Have a seat. We're all on the same side," Qin Ning waved his hand.
Feeling somewhat flattered, Jiang Zhi sat down. "Little Fei, Grandpa told me everything. I already made the head of that branch company in Bin City rush over to Liu City last night. Should I call him in now?"
This guy actually dared to target the liquor company under the Feiya Group. He was simply tired of living.
Of all the people he could offend, he just had to provoke Qin Fei.
"Then let him come in," Qin Fei nodded.
Soon, everyone started eating. After chatting for a bit, there was a knock on the private room's door.
"Come in," Jiang Zhi responded.
Then, a young man in his twenties pushed the door open and walked in, accompanied by a pot-bellied middle-aged man.
Dressed in a sharp suit and wearing a nice watch, he spotted Jiang Zhi as soon as he entered. He hurried over and greeted attentively, "Young Master Jiang."
Lai Weida.
Zhuo Zhikuan's former classmate, now the general manager of Pinzui Liquor in Bin City.
"Hm? Zhuo Zhikuan? Why are you here?"
Seeing that Zhuo Zhikuan was actually there, sitting at the same table as a top-tier young master like Jiang Zhi, Lai Weida immediately frowned.
He still had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he had received a sudden call from headquarters last night saying that Young Master Jiang was coming to Liu City, so he was ordered to rush over overnight.
The pot-bellied middle-aged man beside him was his uncle, Kong Chang, the Deputy Director of the Liu City Education Bureau.
"Why can't I be here?" Zhuo Zhikuan chuckled, knowing that this guy was in for some terrible luck today.
In response to his words, Lai Weida just snorted coldly, not planning to pay him much mind.
He looked at Kong Chang beside him and introduced, "Uncle, this is Young Master Jiang from the provincial capital."
"Hello, Young Master Jiang. I've heard so much about you."
Kong Chang nodded slightly and smiled, extending his hand toward Jiang Zhi.
However, Jiang Zhi merely glanced at him, showing no intention of shaking his hand.
Seeing this, Kong Chang frowned immediately, a look of displeasure crossing his face.
He had heard from his nephew that an important figure from the provincial capital was arriving today—Jiang Zhi, the future heir of the Jiang family.
After all, this was one of the wealthiest families in the province. If he could build a connection with them, there would naturally be plenty of benefits in the future.
But he hadn't expected Jiang Zhi to be so disrespectful as to not even shake his hand.
This naturally made Kong Chang, the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau, feel like he was losing face.
"Young Master Jiang, this is my uncle, Kong Chang, the Deputy Director of the Liu City Education Bureau..."
Lai Weida hurriedly introduced him, afraid that the two sides might have a falling out over this.
After all, he didn't want to offend either side.
One side represented wealth, and the other represented power. A win-win cooperation was the result he hoped to see.
"I recall telling only you to come. Why did you bring someone else without permission?" Jiang Zhi's expression darkened as he looked at Lai Weida and questioned him.
"This..."
Hearing this, an awkward expression appeared on Lai Weida's face.
He hadn't expected Jiang Zhi to still be so arrogant even after he had introduced his uncle.
No matter what, his uncle was a deputy director of the city, a deputy-division level official.
"Heh, Young Master Jiang sure puts on airs. Since you don't want to be friends, just pretend I was never here today. However, I hear the Jiang family has some investments in the education sector, including here in Liu City. Since you refuse to give me face, don't blame me for not giving the Jiang family any face in the future."
Kong Chang snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Your name is Kong Chang, right?"
Just then, Qin Ning's voice rang out.
Kong Chang stopped in his tracks and looked back at him. "Do you need something?"
"Originally, I didn't plan to bother with such trivial matters. But education is the foundation of society. As the Deputy Director of the City Education Bureau, you're standing here making threats and attempting to hinder the development of the education sector. You only have yourself to blame."
As he spoke, Qin Ning pulled out his phone and called Zhou De.
After speaking briefly, Qin Ning gave the other party an address and hung up.
"What? Were you just making a complaint call?"
Kong Chang laughed instantly, a look of disdain on his face. "Young man, some things are far more complicated than you imagine. If a mere complaint call could affect me, then I, Kong Chang, would never have climbed to my current position in Liu City."
"Call your family and make your final arrangements. You'll likely be spending the rest of your life behind bars. Now, you can get lost," Qin Ning said calmly.
From Kong Chang's features, he could tell that this man was a true parasite, even more despicable than the likes of Ren Bin and Du Yu whom he had crossed paths with before.
