"Mayor Han? What is it? Did the provincial office call to rush you to prepare for the meeting? I just knew that country bumpkin was trying to pull a fast one. How could an unknown live-in husband convince the officials of Jianghai to change their minds? Did he plan on doing it with just his mouth? Mayor Han, you're too kind and trusting, but don't worry, I have your back! You can tell me anything. Since I'm your assistant, it's my job to counsel you and steer clear of unbecoming characters."
Meng Guang had just come out from the room with some documents, so he missed Han Dong-Min's phone call completely.
But it didn't matter as Meng Guang had a rough idea what the call was about. Their colleagues from the provincial office probably called to hasten Mayor Han about the preparation of the meeting.
Meng Guang smiled ingratiatingly as he waited for Han Dong-Min to praise him.
But Han Dong-Min was too stunned, and his mind went blank after hanging up.
The moment he heard the way Meng Guang was waiting for his approval, Han Dong-Min kicked him furiously.
"Steer clear of unbecoming people? Unbecoming my ass! You fool! You got me into trouble! I was blind to believe a dumbass like you!"
Han Dong-Min was on the verge of crying, and his chest felt like exploding from anger!
He even wanted to slaughter Meng Guang now.
Han Dong-Min had just cleared the air with Ye Fan for their previous misunderstanding. All he had to do was quietly wait for the phone call and prepare for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner like Ye Fan said.
But Han Dong-Min believed Meng Guang's nonsense when he sowed discord and misled him, so he ended up reprimanding Ye Fan over the phone.
Now he had really offended Ye Fan.
Han Dong-Min was so furious that he wanted to kick Meng Guang to death!
"Mayor Han, why are you hitting me? I...I don't get it," said Meng Guang quizzically after Han Dong-Min kicked him onto the ground again.
"What the hell! How can you bloody have the cheek to ask? What's with that indignant expression?" scolded Han Dong-Min as he gave Meng Guang a tight slap again. Han Dong-Min slapped him so hard that Meng Guang's face swelled straight away.
"Do you know that the Jiangdong provincial office gave us a direct order to delay the meeting just so that the Entrepreneurs' Dinner can proceed? They want us to hold the Entrepreneurs' Dinner first!"
BOOOM!
The news hit Meng Guang like a bolt of lightning and left him in a daze instantly.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he said, "Did...did...did he...he make this happen? But how...how can that be? This is impossible. How can a man with a lowly family background have the power to do this? How could he sway the Jiangdong provincial office?"
Meng Guang wasn't stupid. The moment he heard Han Dong-Min's words, Meng Guang recalled what Ye Fan said previously.
But it was inconceivable that Ye Fan could pull this off!
Meng Guang was still in shock while Han Dong-Min scolded him, "Does he sound like a country bumpkin or live-in husband to you? Even our superiors in Jianghai gave in to his request. Do you still think he's just pretending to be powerfully connected now? Do you still think he was simply lying earlier and just talking big? I must have been blind to believe an idiot like you!"
Han Dong-Min was so furious that he kicked Meng Guang again and sent him falling onto the ground.
But Han Dong-Min didn't have time to keep throwing his temper. Instead, he hastily told the driver to take him over to see Ye Fan.
There was a huge misunderstanding between them now as Han Dong-Min had just scolded Ye Fan over the phone. Han Dong-Min hoped that Ye Fan could be magnanimous and forgive him this once.
Before Han Dong-Min left, he told Meng Guang to pack his things and get lost immediately.
"There's no place for you at the mayor's office! Don't ever let me see you again!"
VROOM!
