Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

According to Li Dong's analysis, the terrorist last night was working for Xu Huaxi.

Moreover, the assassination attempt last night was most likely a joint plan by Xu Huaxi and Tang Yong.

Now, he has finally escaped from danger, and he has not yet caused trouble for Xu Huaxi, but what does it mean that the other party called him at this time?

Li Dong calmly answered the phone, "Boss Xu?"

Xu Huaxi's gentle laughter came from the other end of the phone, like a knife tempered with honey. "Officer Li, I heard that you had an accident last night?"

"I just got the news from a friend this morning."

"I called to inquire about the situation. Is everything alright?"

Li Dong's eyes flashed with coldness, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xu. It's nothing serious. I have a strong life and the King of Hell won't take me away."

Xu Huaxi patted his chest lightly, as if relieved, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."

"Officer Li is the backbone of our Tianzhou police force and the most beloved police officer in the hearts of the people of Tianzhou."

"If anything happens to Officer Li, it will be a loss for the entire Tianzhou!"

Li Dong couldn't tell the difference between sincerity and hypocrisy, so he simply broke the silence. "Boss Xu, you're not being sincere. I've been causing a lot of trouble for the Huaxi Group recently."

"If something happens to me, won't Boss Xu be able to walk on flat ground and have lotus blossoms everywhere in the future?"

Xu Huaxi said with a hint of anger, "Officer Li, you underestimate me."

"Public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs."

"I've said before that, although Officer Li has caused trouble for the Huaxi Group in certain areas, this is your job and has nothing to do with personal grudges."

"But personally, I have always admired Officer Li and have always wanted to be friends with him."

"It's just that Officer Li is afraid of my identity and doesn't want to have a close relationship with me."

"Otherwise, I believe we two can become very good friends."

Li Dong teased, "Thank you, Boss Xu. I still don't dare to make close friends with people like you."

"Otherwise, I'm really afraid I'll die someday!"

Xu Huaxi asked back, "Why, Officer Li, you don't suspect that what happened last night has something to do with me, do you?"

Li Dong continued, "Boss Xu, does this have anything to do with you?"

Xu Huaxi didn't answer, but continued to ask: "What do you think, Officer Li?"

Li Dong responded, "I don't know. After all, I'm a police officer and I don't handle cases based on my feelings."

"But if I really have evidence, Boss Xu, you'd better be careful of your consequences!"

Xu Huaxi chuckled, "If that day ever comes, I won't go anywhere and will turn myself in."

"But let me make it clear, the person who handcuffs me has to be you, Officer Li. I won't let anyone else!"

"Okay, enough joking. I recently heard something. There will be personnel changes in the Tianzhou Police Force."

"I heard the new boss seems to be from the provincial capital. Does Officer Li know about this?"

Li Dong was too lazy to give a perfunctory answer. "How could a grassroots officer like me know about the personnel changes in the Tianzhou Police Force in advance? Mr. Xu has such extensive information. He's actually more informed than us officers."

"I just hear people talking about it occasionally, just chatting." Xu Huaxi brushed it off lightly and got back to the point. "By the way, Officer Li, I'd like to have a drink for you today."

"If you're free, why don't you come over and sit down?"

"Firstly, to calm you down, and secondly, to celebrate your promotion."

"If I remember correctly, Officer Li will report to his new post next week."

Li Dong teased, "Could it be the Hongmen Banquet?"

Xu Huaxi put on a sad face and said, "I'm the only one inviting you to a banquet. How can this be called a Hongmen Banquet?"

"Could it be that Officer Li is afraid that I might eat you?"

Li Dong simply declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xu, but I have to spend time with my family this weekend, so I'm afraid I won't be available."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Xu Huaxi's voice suddenly turned cold. "That's a pity. Since Officer Li is busy, I won't bother you anymore."

"However, if you encounter any trouble in your new position, you can always come to me."

Li Dong suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked calmly, "Why, Boss Xu also has friends in the mine?"

Xu Huaxi's voice was filled with an unfathomable tone. "You know people in the business world, who doesn't have a couple of friends around the drinking table?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, lest Officer Li think I have ulterior motives again."

"Then I would like to wish Officer Li great success and continued success!"

The phone hangs up.

Li Dong was a little confused while talking on the phone. Why did Xu Huaxi invite him to dinner for no reason?

Although Xu Huaxi didn't say it explicitly on the phone.

But Li Dong had a hunch that treating everyone to a meal was not Xu Huaxi's original intention.

Invite him to dinner at this time?

It's too ostentatious and doesn't fit Xu Huaxi's style.

It is very likely that Xu Huaxi is extending an olive branch to someone.

In other words, there is someone else attending the banquet tonight.

Moreover, it is very likely related to Guodong Mining!

But what connection does Xu Huaxi have with Guodong Mining?

Originally, because of the case, Li Dong and Xu Huaxi were on the verge of a fight to the death.

If Xu Huaxi is involved with Guodong Mining again, that would be a real coincidence!

Li Dong couldn't think of an answer to this question.

However, there is one person who may be able to give him the answer, Yang Quan!

Yang Quan is now undercover in the West China Group and has become the vice president of the West China Group. He is also more capable than Yu Zhaolong.

Although Xu Huaxi has not yet expressed absolute trust in Yang Quan, many core contents are not allowed to be accessed by Yang Quan.

But it shouldn't be difficult for Yang Quan to ask one or two people.

In the other office, after hanging up the phone, Xu Huaxi looked around and said respectfully, "Director Dong, Li Dong didn't agree."

If Yang Quan were here, he would definitely recognize who this man is.

It was the man who sat in the main seat when we had dinner together last time, Dong Shouan, the director of the Safety Supervision and Management Office of Guodong Coal Mine Group.

One of the powerful figures in the Hanergy Group, he is not a big shot in Guodong Mining, but he is a mid-level leader with some real power and has close ties with the police.

If the top management of Guodong Mining wanted to do something, they would basically send Director Dong to mediate.

Therefore, Director Dong still has quite some power in the officialdom of Tianzhou.

After all, as long as Director Dong shows up, he represents Guodong Mining and Hanergy Coal Mining Group!

At this moment, Dong Shouan was sitting on the sofa, his fingertips stroking the edge of the celadon teacup. The Biluochun tea in the cup had already gone cold.

After listening to Xu Huaxi finish the call, he didn't even raise his eyelids, just said "hmm" lightly, and there was no emotion in his tone.

Xu Huaxi stood aside, his back slightly bent, a little more reserved than when facing a business partner. "Director Dong, it's my fault for not inviting anyone here."

"How about... you let me try again?"
