The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

But look at them now, they're actually groveling and apologizing to Hou Liangping.

It's important to know that Qi Tongwei is currently the vice governor, a vice-ministerial level official, while Hou Liangping is the director of the anti-corruption bureau, a department-level official.

Qi Tongwei actually apologized to Hou Liangping. If this scene were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

If anyone else were treated so respectfully by Qi Tongwei, they would at least show the respect they deserved, if not the utmost respect in return.

But look at Hou Liangping, what kind of attitude does he have, and he even looks at Qi Tongwei with disdain?

Why should he?

Given the Zhong family's background, what right does he have to be so arrogant? It's not his own ability.

Zhao Ruilong was indignant. His top general had been frightened like this by the other party. Where was he supposed to put his face?

Hou Liangping smiled dismissively when he saw the other party's attitude.

So what if he made a mistake? Does Qi Tongwei dare to say a word?

This is his power; this is the result he wanted.

If Qi Tongwei investigates, the consequences of his illegal detention of the vice governor will not be so severe.

Since the parties involved are not pursuing the matter, no one else has said anything either.

Hou Liangping was extremely pleased with himself.

They grew increasingly contemptuous of Qi Tongwei.

In his mind, Qi Tongwei was nothing more than an opportunist, and that kneeling incident had already broken his spine.

Hou Liangping ignored Qi Tongwei's expression and turned to look at Huang Feipeng.

The people present were all key figures in his future investigation.

At this point, it would be best to get some information out of them.

Thinking of this, Hou Liangping said calmly.

"Mr. Huang, you went to all that trouble to invite me to dinner here, and what? You haven't even offered any thanks?"

Hou Liangping glanced at the dishes on the table and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Tsk tsk, there are so many dishes on this table, it must be expensive. Young Master Zhao is right, an honest and upright official like me could never afford to eat these in my entire life. Perfect, since Boss Huang is treating, I'll have a taste."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong frowned, then looked at Huang Feipeng. Who was this person? He had never seen him before.

He clearly paid for the meal, so why did Hou Liangping say it was this person who paid for it?

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei quickly pulled Zhao Ruilong aside and whispered something.

“Young Master Zhao, this is the owner of Dafeng Factory. You wanted that piece of land, right? I was thinking of inviting him over for a meal to get it done, but something seems off.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong frowned and kept looking Huang Feipeng up and down. He saw that the man was in his early twenties and had a kind face.

Huang Feipeng noticed the other person's scrutiny and smiled faintly.

Then he stepped forward and looked at the food on the table, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at Zhao Ruilong with displeasure.

"What do you mean by this? You invited us to dinner, and you expect us to eat leftovers? Does that mean our Director Hou can only eat leftovers?"

"Is this how you treat your guests? This is outrageous, Director Hou. Let's go, let's not put up with this humiliation."

As he spoke, Huang Feipeng turned to leave.

Hou Liangping was completely bewildered when he saw this. "You're the one who forced me to come here, and now you're the one leaving. What exactly do you mean by this?"

Hou Liangping was extremely reluctant, after all, he had now settled Qi Tongwei's matter, which would greatly benefit his future investigation.

The people at this table are all his targets.

Moreover, judging from Huang Feipeng's behavior, it seems that he is at odds with Zhao Ruilong?

There seems to be room for maneuver?

Zhao Ruilong was furious when he saw this.

Hou Liangping just said that he can see that he won't bother with you out of respect for the Zhong family, but what is your status?

He's just a small businessman, who gave him the guts?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong was about to get angry.

Seeing this, Qi Tongwei quickly pulled Zhao Ruilong aside.

"Young Master Zhao, please calm down. Think about the land of Dafeng Factory. A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan."

"It seems that Hou Liangping has won him over. If we further strain our relationship and the other party completely sides with Hou Liangping, then they will be the ones to deal with us."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong swallowed his anger. Putting everything else aside, the billion-plus yuan alone was worth it.

In truth, all of this is because of Hou Liangping.

If it weren't for him, would Qi Tongwei be so timid and hesitant?

If it weren't for him, would Chen Qingquan have been arrested?

If it weren't for him, would the Zhao family be in such a passive position?

If it weren't for him, would Huang Feipeng, a small-time businessman, dare to treat me like this?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong's gaze toward Hou Liangping became even more murderous.

Qi Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Ruilong hadn't gotten angry, and quickly pulled Huang Feipeng back from leaving.

"Mr. Huang, don't be angry. Give your brother some face. It was my oversight. Here, let me toast you as an apology."

Huang Feipeng made a perfunctory excuse, then looked at Zhao Ruilong reluctantly.

"Young Master Zhao, you should learn a lot from Governor Qi. However, this matter is not up to me; it requires Director Hou's approval."

Huang Feipeng wasn't going to speak unless he came, since the main characters in this play were Hou Liangping and Zhao Ruilong.

But since Hou Liangping has already offered him a ladder, he has no choice but to climb down it. Perfect, he can be a little arrogant and make Zhao Ruilong misunderstand, so that in the end, he will definitely blame Hou Liangping.

That will only fuel their growing hatred.

When things accumulate to a certain point, it will erupt like a volcano, and then it will be time for him and Qi Tongwei to watch the show.

Zhao Ruilong's chest heaved with anger upon hearing Huang Feipeng's words. His man, now the vice governor, was behaving so humbly towards a businessman like Huang Feipeng because Hou Liangping was backing him up.

Once his people are transferred here, he must teach Hou Liangping a lesson.

As for Huang Feipeng, once we get that land, we'll definitely teach him a lesson. Coincidentally, the coal mines in Africa are short of a few fillers, and he's perfect for the job.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei quickly moved closer to Hou Liangping, raised his wine glass, and whispered something.

"Monkey, give your senior some face. Today was just a misunderstanding, we can clear things up. Now that Young Master Zhao is here, you absolutely have to give me this face, otherwise..."

Hou Liangping was extremely pleased with himself upon hearing this, as he was just in the mood to stay.

He snorted coldly and turned to look at Zhao Ruilong.

“Young Master Zhao, since Vice Governor Qi has said so, I will give him face. After all, he is my senior from university, so I won’t hold this small matter against him.”

"Mr. Huang, forget it, it's a small matter. As an official, if you bring out a whole table of dishes, I wouldn't dare to eat..."
