"Forget it, Xin-Yu. Let's not make things difficult for them. We don't really have to go there since West Lake is huge and has great scenery in all directions.”
Since He Yu-Rou grew up in a family of politicians, she knew how hard it could be for low level employees.
These lower-level employees were always caught in between their duties and the public's demands.
"Forget it? I won't let them off for their lousy attitude. Don't worry. I know someone, so once I make the call, they won't stop us from entering," said Chu Wen-Fei somewhat angrily as he stood up.
"That's brilliant!"
Zhang Xin-Yu and Yang Zi-Jiang instantly cheered.
Chu Wen-Fei took his phone and made a call.
Since Chu Wen-Fei was in the real estate trade, he worked with the government all the time, so it was easy for him to pull some connections.
A few minutes later, Chu Wen-Fei hung up the phone disappointedly.
"Wen-Fei, how did it go?" asked Zhang Xin-Yu curiously.
Chu Wen-Fei shook his head. "It's no use. Commissioner Wang said someone was holding a celebration here today, so big shots throughout the country will be here."
"Really? It seems we really won't be able to enter." Zhang Xin-Yu shook her head disappointedly.
In the end, the four of them turned to leave.
However, Zhang Xin-Yu kept thinking about it on the way back.
"What kind of party do you think is happening here? They sealed off half the lake, and even a Commissioner doesn't have the right to permit entry. Is it the G20 or something? Where leaders from all
countries gather to discuss important matters?"
The more Zhang Xin-Yu went on, the more incredible she made it sound. He Yu-Rou and the others couldn't help laughing.
"Xin-Yu, there you go with your nonsense. If it were the G20,1 think the entire lake and its vicinity would get cordoned off and not just the center of the lake," said He Yu-Rou as she laughed.
A lot of boats steered towards the sealed-off section of the lake as Chu Wen-Fei left.
"Yu-Rou, Wen-Fei, don't you think the people on the boat look strange? Why are most of them wearing long robes? If I didn't know better, I would have thought they were holding some martial arts conference, and all the heroes were gathering here today," said Zhang Xin-Yu as she laughed softly.
Chu Wen-Fei and the others also noticed that the guests were dressed unusually when Zhang Xin-Yu brought it up.
"No, now I really want to see what's going on." Zhang Xin-Yu couldn't suppress her curiosity.
She decided to steer the boat towards the venue.
"Hi, there! Excuse me!" shouted Zhang Xin-Yu from behind.
Before long, the people on a boat in front of them noticed their presence.
"Our boat is out of gas. Mind if we take your boat? We don't mind paying," shouted Zhang Xin-Yu as she waved her hand.
Chu Wen-Fei didn't think Zhang Xin-Yu's ploy would work. Before long, a boat stopped and put down a ladder to let them board.
"Wow. I can't believe it worked."
Chu Wen-Fei and the others were surprised.
Zhang Xin-Yu rubbed her nose smugly before getting onto the boat with them.
