Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Chapter 521: Movement from all sides 4 Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but frown slightly, secretly surprised in his heart. He really didn't expect that Ma Tiancheng would come to visit him in person.

He knew very well the purpose of the other party's visit, which was simply to persuade him to increase investment in the tourism industry in Leizhou.

However, the tricky problem is that Xiang Mingxuan is the secretary of the Leizhou Municipal Party Committee. If this matter was really instructed by Xiang Mingxuan, then according to common sense, Xiang Mingxuan would definitely call him in advance to communicate and negotiate.

But the current situation is that Ma Tiancheng came directly to the door without any preparation. There must be something intriguing here!

After much deliberation, Zhao Wenhao turned around and solemnly instructed Lu Han beside him, "Secretary Lu, tell Mayor Ma that I'm still at the provincial government discussing important matters and won't be able to return to the company today."

Hearing this, Lu Han quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Director Zhao, I'll go and convey your message to him right away."

After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.

After Lu Han left, Zhao Wenhao slowly reached out and picked up the phone on the table, intending to call Xiang Mingxuan immediately to ask something.

But when he held the phone in his hand and was about to press the dial button, his movements suddenly stopped in mid-air.

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gave up making the call.

You know, he and Xiang Mingxuan are inextricably linked. Normally, if Xiang Mingxuan didn't take the initiative to call him, it must mean that it was not the right time to talk more.

Therefore, even though Zhao Wenhao was anxious to know the situation, if he called rashly, he would appear to be ignorant and tactless.

So, the days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, three days were gone.

"Mayor Ma, it's been three days! How come we still haven't been able to contact Zhao Wenhao? If this drags on, Leizhou will definitely not be able to secure this crucial project! How exactly does your municipal government run its business? Are they all just good-for-nothings?"

Xiang Mingxuan roared with a gloomy face. His voice sounded extremely majestic and made people feel afraid.

Although his words were ostensibly directed at Ma Tiancheng, who was in charge of tourism, his eyes, which occasionally glanced at the mayor Wei Han sitting next to him, revealed his true intention - he clearly wanted to take this opportunity to give Wei Han a good lesson.

Ma Tiancheng, who was standing there pitifully, was feeling extremely embarrassed at this moment.

In the past three days, he has worked tirelessly and traveled to Xuanzhou every day just to find Zhao Wenhao.

However, the reality is so cruel that it makes people want to cry: not only is Zhao Wenhao's phone always unreachable, but even if you go to his workplace to look for him, you always come back empty-handed and can't even see a shadow of him.

Faced with this situation, even though Ma Tiancheng had a lot of grievances and complaints, he didn't dare to show it in front of Xiang Mingxuan. He could only lower his head and take the scolding like a docile little lamb, without any ability to fight back.

At this moment, Wei Han looked embarrassed and secretly complained in his heart, because he clearly sensed the threat in Xiang Mingxuan's words.

However, faced with such a situation, he really felt helpless.

You know, the municipal government has already made many efforts and even arranged for the deputy mayor to visit in person.

To be honest, if conditions permit, he himself also hopes to visit in person.

But the key point is that right now even wanting to contact the other party is an almost impossible task.

Even if he really rushed over regardless of everything, it probably wouldn't have any substantial effect.

"Secretary Xiang, the municipal government has done its best, and Mayor Ma has been tireless, frequently traveling back and forth to Xuanzhou. But Mr. Zhao is so busy that we can only communicate with his secretary for now."

In desperation, Wei Han had no choice but to step forward and help explain, "But don't worry, I plan to contact Governor Sun, who is in charge of tourism, immediately today to see if I can find a breakthrough in resolving this issue through him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Mingxuan turned his head slightly, glanced at Wei Han, and said slowly: "Don't bother asking!"

He paused briefly before adding, "According to the latest reliable information I've received, the Provincial Cultural Tourism Group met with Zhao Wenhao just three days ago. It's said the conversation went very well and progressed smoothly. More importantly, the middleman who facilitated this meeting was none other than Vice Governor Sun."

"Ah? This..." Wei Han was startled, his body trembled involuntarily, and an expression of astonishment and disbelief appeared on his face.

He widened his eyes and stared blankly ahead, as if completely shocked by this sudden news.

It was obvious that he had no idea about this situation before and had never expected it to develop into such a complicated situation.

You know, the intervention of the Provincial Cultural and Tourism Group means that things will become extremely difficult.

Originally, it might have only been necessary to deal with some local resistance, but now, facing such a powerful and influential opponent, it has become almost an impossible task to smoothly establish relationships in all aspects and achieve the desired goals.

At this moment, Xiang Mingxuan, who was sitting on the other side, saw Wei Han's reaction clearly and couldn't help feeling secretly proud in his heart.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he was very satisfied with the effect he had created.

Then, he turned his gaze to Ma Tiancheng, who was standing there trembling with fear, and asked sternly, "Have you completed the preliminary plan I asked you to make? Have you fully highlighted the natural advantages of our Leizhou?"

Hearing this, Ma Tiancheng's heart tightened and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

He stammered, "It's done, but due to time constraints, it's just a rough outline at the moment."

After saying that, he secretly raised his eyes to glance at Xiang Mingxuan's face, and found that the other party's expression became more serious. He was so scared that he lowered his head again.

"Just a rough outline?"

Xiang Mingxuan's voice suddenly rose an octave, and an invisible pressure emanated from him. His sharp eyes stared at Ma Tiancheng, as if they could penetrate a person's heart.

"Three whole days! You have so many people and resources, and you only gave us something this crude?"

"The main reason is that we don't know what kind of plan Zhao Wenhao needs, so we can only make some speculative plans now. Of course, this plan still encompasses all of our advantages." Ma Tiancheng defended himself weakly.
