Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 676 - 675: A Pleasant Conversation?
"Just now, I had a very friendly discussion with Chairman Park, who holds deep affections for our Huaxia Country. He mentioned that Korea and Huaxia Country have had a profound historical connection since ancient times, and he has a very good impression of Santai City as well," said Ge Dongxu in a calm manner, just as Secretary Lu and the others were breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Ah!" Even though Secretary Lu and the others were department-level officials, managing a prefecture-level city with millions of inhabitants, and were accustomed to dealing with major incidents and grand scenes, they couldn't help but gasp and exclaim in shock at Ge Dongxu's words.
With a bruised nose and swollen face, a lump on his head, tattered clothes, and covered in bloodstains—this was friendly?
Who talks nonsense like this?
"What is this expression, this attitude? Chairman Park is planning to invest in a factory in your Santai City. Aren't you welcoming him, Secretary Lu, Mayor Yang?" Ge Dongxu rolled his eyes and said.
The response to Ge Dongxu was another "Ah!", and this time Secretary Lu and the others gaped even wider, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
"Yes, indeed, I enjoyed my talk with Mr. Ge very much. Mr. Ge is a true gentleman. It gives me great pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet and converse with him during my visit to Huaxia Country," Chairman Park quickly nodded and agreed, seeing Ge Dongxu roll his eyes.
This time, Secretary Lu and the others forgot to utter their "Ah!" and just stared dumbfounded at Chairman Park, with his bruised and swollen face, tattered clothes, and blood all over.
He had been beaten up like this, and they still talked warmly? Still a true gentleman?
"After a friendly negotiation with Mr. Ge, I have decided to invest twenty million US dollars in the first phase in Santai City to build an electronics equipment factory," Chairman Park quickly added. freēnovelkiss.com
After Chairman Park made this announcement, the whole private room fell completely silent.
After a while, Secretary Lu finally reacted, looked at Ge Dongxu, then turned to the woeful and disheveled Chairman Park and asked cautiously, "Is that true?"
Looking at Secretary Lu's cautious manner, Mayor Yang, Director Lin, and others felt it very strange.
Because, in theory, upon hearing such news, not only Secretary Lu but also others should have been very excited; yet, what about now?
Secretary Lu spoke as softly as a shy girl.
"A gentleman's word, whip the swift horse. We can sit down tonight to discuss the specifics of the contract. If there are no issues, we can sign the contract officially tomorrow," declared Chairman Park with a serious face.
Upon hearing this, Secretary Lu and Mayor Yang couldn't help but utter another "Ah!"
"Come on, Secretary Lu, Mayor Yang, don't make such a fuss, exclaiming so loudly. If Chairman Park says he will invest, then he will invest. Don't be too courteous with him, and offer whatever terms need to be offered," Ge Dongxu scolded, giving Secretary Lu and the others a stern look.
"Is this really okay?" Secretary Lu and the others, feeling unsure, couldn't help but ask cautiously.
"What do you mean if it's okay? If I say it's okay, then it's okay! Isn't that right, old Park?" Ge Dongxu saw that Secretary Lu and the others were still anxious and cautious, so he decided to drop the pretense altogether, patted Piao Tianchang's shoulder very dominantly, and said.
"Yes, whatever Mr. Ge says naturally stands," Chairman Park's heart trembled a little as Ge Dongxu patted his shoulder, and he immediately shrank in stature, hurriedly responding.
Secretary Lu and the others watched this scene, completely dumbfounded, while Xu Lei nearly burst into laughter upon hearing the words "old piao."
"Alright, Xu Lei, you take care of the matter here! Explain to Secretary Lu and the others what needs explaining," Ge Dongxu said, noticing that Secretary Lu and the others were staring dumbfounded, clearly finding the situation too unbelievable. They probably couldn't digest the news right away, and their anxiety was certainly not going to ease anytime soon. Thus, he didn't bother explaining any further and simply instructed Xu Lei, then said to Wu Yili's grandmother and the others, "Granny Liu, Teacher Wu, Principal Zhang, this place is a mess, not suitable for dining. Let's change to another private room."
Although Wu Yili's family was also shocked by the dramatic turn of events, they knew that Ge Dongxu was an extraordinary person and accepted the situation easier than Secretary Lu and his company. Moreover, as common folk, there wasn't much for them to do in such matters, so upon hearing his suggestion, they all nodded in agreement. Principal Zhang immediately said, "I'll go and arrange another private room right away."
After speaking, Principal Zhang hurriedly left the private room first.
Seeing Principal Zhang leave, Ge Dongxu briefly greeted Yang Xiangrong, Secretary Lu, and the others, then led Wu Yili and the rest out of the private room. As for Chairman Park and his grandson, naturally, Ge Dongxu didn't bother saying goodbye to them.
They were nothing but his slaves, after all!
Chairman Park, seeing Ge Dongxu leave, finally sat back down with a whoosh, as if all the strength had left his body.
He had been terrified and tortured by Ge Dongxu, his nerves stretched to the limit.
Park Yuyuan was in an even worse state, collapsing onto the floor, breathing heavily.
That twisted, terrifying demon had finally left!
Watching the sorry state of Piao Tianchang and his grandson, Secretary Lu and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say, while Yang Xiangrong asked Xu Lei in a low, concerned voice, "Director, having dealt with them so harshly, they've submitted now, but could there be trouble once they return to Korea?"
"Don't worry, the Director is much smarter than you or me. If you've thought of this, don't you think he has too?" Xu Lei said with a smile.
Xu Lei was thrilled to see Piao Tianchang and his grandson brought to heel by Director Ge.
"That's true, that's true. It's just that Director Ge is so young, I'm a bit worried about him…" Yang Xiangrong nodded repeatedly, his words tinged with concern.
High cultivation doesn't necessarily equate to high emotional intelligence, especially since Ge Dongxu is still so young!
"Don't worry. Previously, a rich Japanese tycoon who knew nothing about what he was getting into challenged the Director and ended up being treated like a dog, groveling and nodding in front of the Director just like a lapdog," Xu Lei said.
Yang Xiangrong was inwardly shaken by these words, finally feeling reassured. He didn't inquire further into the details.
While the two whispered, Piao Tianchang and his grandson had finally started to recover a little.
"Mr. Xu, seeing us in this state, it's not appropriate for us to dine or discuss the contract. Could you allow us to return to our room to tidy up and then continue to discuss the specifics?" Piao Tianchang stood up and politely requested Xu Lei's permission.
Being an old fox, he could tell that Xu Lei had a particular close relationship with Ge Dongxu, much more so than Yang Xiangrong and the others.
"No problem. Those bodyguards outside, please give them your instructions; otherwise, my men will have to keep detaining them," Xu Lei nodded and replied.
"Of course!" Piao Tianchang quickly nodded.
ps: I recommend a book from QiDian Chinese Network author Sima Baishan called "The Era of the Big Cities," a fairly realistic take on life and bureaucracy. Readers who enjoy this genre might want to check it out. Also, there are two more updates today which I haven't finished writing, so I probably won't update until tonight. Please excuse me.
