Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 946: The Situation Looks Bad!

Chapter 946: Chapter 946: The Situation Looks Bad!

Han Minghao, Fu Yunwei, and Mr. Liu exchanged glances, their expressions changing slightly.

Today, Qifeng Group was hosting a banquet for a government official from the city, which they knew about.

But they had never expected that the guest would be Song He!

It was universally acknowledged that Song He’s presence at a business event in Yunhai was equivalent to Mayor Chu Xingyun’s personal attendance.

His attendance underscored the city government’s and the Mayor’s high regard for Qifeng Group!

And from the sound of it, it seemed Yu Zhongtian had complained to Song He.

Whatever Yu Zhongtian could say would naturally be a distortion of the truth.

However, with the prior notion and considering Yu was a significant investor, Song He appeared to have believed him, even claiming he would seek "justice" for Yu Zhongtian!

When the trio heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Actually, the city government’s high regard for Qifeng Group was understandable.

After all, as a large corporation investing in Yunhai, they would boost the economy and create jobs, so the local government naturally welcomed them and it was only right to value them!

But for Han Minghao’s side, this was seriously bad news.

"Quick, Mr. Liu, go inform the others inside!" Han Minghao urged anxiously, and then to Fu Yunwei, he said, "Let’s go over there!"

Han Minghao intended to stall for a bit, even just a minute would suffice, to allow those inside some time to prepare.

Fu Yunwei nodded, understanding his boss’s intent.

The three men split up and went their separate ways.

"Boss, that Mr. Bai Xiaosheng knows the Mayor of Yunhai too, so that means we also have some connections within," said Fu Yunwei as they walked, unable to help but whisper.

"Connections are connections, but Qifeng Group... it’s about the economy!" Han Minghao replied with difficulty.

He didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng’s connections could outweigh the solid investment that came from Yu Zhongtian’s family.

The two only had time for a brief exchange.

Song He had already spotted them.

"It’s you!" Song He’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Han Minghao, with a hint of displeasure.

He of course recognized Han Minghao, and Fu Yunwei as well.

That incident in front of Yunhai’s landmark building had not been long ago!

Those rich second-generation heirs had caused a public spectacle, and it was only because Bai Xiaosheng had managed to wrap things up in a comical manner that they had not been sent to reform through labor.

Now, they were causing trouble again, and this time at Qifeng Group!

This was a major event pertaining to Yunhai’s development, not something to be disrupted by their antics!

Song He came from an ordinary background himself, and he had never had much regard for these rich second generations. He was polite to Yu Zhongtian only because he was the son of an investor, and that was for the sake of maintaining the current government-business cooperation.

Now seeing Han Minghao and his ilk, repeatedly taking advantage of their family’s wealth and power with no regard for the greater good, anger began to simmer within Song He, and he thought of imposing a heavy punishment.

Song He even thought to himself: I had doubted whether both sides were to blame, but seeing this, Han Dong’s grandson must be at least seventy percent at fault!

He had indeed made a prejudgment.

"Secretary Song, you’ve arrived!" Han Minghao greeted Song He with a smile.

Song He’s expression was cool, he grunted noncommittally, glanced at Han Minghao, and then asked Yu Zhongtian, "Mr. Yu, was it these men you had a conflict with?!"

Seeing Song He’s attitude, Han Minghao couldn’t help but stiffen with a bitter expression.

Yu Zhongtian also sensed that Song He was about to stand up for him, and he felt a surge of satisfaction; however, his look at Han Minghao was one of disdain.

"Not him! It was another young one! Also, Han Dong and his people were there too!" Yu Zhongtian said hastily.

"Han Dong is there too?" Song He couldn’t help but furrow his brow in surprise.

In his view, Han Dong, as the owner of one of Yunhai’s top private enterprises, was very disciplined and acted with prudence, and would never be so rash. Even if the younger generation committed any foolish acts, Han Dong should have been able to stop them.

And why would Han Dong provoke Qifeng Group?

Qifeng Group was far superior to Han Family Enterprise.

There seemed to be more complexity to this situation than met the eye...

Song He, too, noticed the situation.

"Let’s go, take a look!" Song He said, stepping forward to get ahead of Han Minghao.

Han Minghao and Fu Yunwei were pushed aside, utterly powerless to stop anyone.

"Secretary Song, you cannot just care about the feelings of local enterprises and leave us investors out in the cold. Otherwise, if companies from outside of the area hear about this, they will think that Yunhai’s business environment is poor, which will affect their confidence in investing," Song Yao suddenly spoke up.

Although her MBA was purchased, she spent her days immersed in the business world and was capable of speaking a few seemingly plausible sentences.

Song He’s brow furrowed slightly, then quickly smoothed out. These words carried a hint of threat, but they made sense!

"Miss Song, rest assured, the city government firmly opposes local protectionism! We will not turn a blind eye to injustice," Song He assured.

Hearing Song He say this, Song Yao took it as an indication that he would still favor her side and immediately looked visibly delighted.

Yu Zhongtian and the others, including Han Minghao, also thought the same.

Only a very few people detected the reservations in his words.

They would only turn a blind eye to injustices...

Song He didn’t say any more and led the way directly to the troubled private room.

Meanwhile, inside that room, because of Mr. Liu’s early "tip-off," there was palpable anxiety.

"What, the Mayor’s Chief Secretary Song He is coming!"

"Secretary Song said he would stand up for them!"

"How is that possible!"

"What are we going to do!"

The crowd erupted into commotion.

Originally, they had been worked up into a fervor by Bai Xiaosheng, but when it came to facing Qifeng Group, their confidence weakened.

Now, Qifeng Group seemed to also have the support of the city government.

How were they supposed to compete with that!

Everyone started to feel uneasy.

"Everyone calm down!" Han Dong, no stranger to battles, immediately let out a low shout. "What’s there to be nervous about! Let’s wait until Secretary Song arrives! Behaving like this, what will he think if he sees you? We’ve done nothing wrong, there’s no need to panic!"

His words calmed everyone down.

However, they still looked nervously at Bai Xiaosheng.

Han Dong himself was not entirely confident, his gaze filled with worry as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Not only them, but this time even Lin Ke, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying were somewhat worried.

They too understood what a huge investment enterprise meant to local government.

And with Bai Xiaosheng directly challenging Qifeng Group, that was bound to displease the city government.

In such a circumstance, even if Bai Xiaosheng had once had a few encounters with Yunhai’s Mayor Chu Xingyun, it would likely be of no use.

The worst part was that Bai Xiaosheng had just rallied everyone’s spirit for the fight, only to immediately face a discouraging setback...

The morale of their group was probably going to collapse completely.

"Otherwise, I’ll contact the group..." Lin Ke said.

Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand to stop her.

"I’ll handle this matter," Bai Xiaosheng said calmly.

In fact, from the moment he heard the news, his face had been expressionless as he thought through some things.

Now, he had finished thinking.

"I’m going to make a phone call. If Mayor Chu’s Chief Secretary arrives, you all entertain him for a while," Bai Xiaosheng said as he got up, took out his phone, walked into the inner room, and closed the door behind him.

The crowd watched Bai Xiaosheng enter the inner room, turning their anxious gazes to Han Dong.

Han Dong clenched his teeth, "If Secretary Song comes, I’ll deal with him first!"

He couldn’t help but glance at the inner room, praying in his heart.

Hopefully, he had a plan!
