Chapter 399: Chapter 401: I Will Definitely Give You an Explanation

(Continuing the plea for monthly tickets ah...)

——————————————————————

Watching Chen Jianguo’s face, which was almost frantic and hysterical, even to the point of cursing, everyone couldn’t help but be stunned...

Boss Zhang, Director Li, and a group of others had completely frozen, with no reaction whatsoever...

Chen Jianguo was actually this furious because of Xiao Yi... Was their relationship shallow? Does this question even need an answer?

Chills ran up and down the spines of several onlookers, piercing through their heads and feet...

The surrounding crowd also couldn’t help but widen their eyes. Was this really the Chairman of Jianguo Group, Chen Jianguo? He seemed as irate and profane as any ordinary person!

In the crowd, that beautiful figure couldn’t help but click her tongue secretly and whispered, "Who would have thought that the ’Old Fox’ Chen would actually be such a protective person?" However, amidst the quietly whispering crowd, no one heard her words, and her voice was somewhat unclear and low. Those who noticed her only gave her a curious look and did not react.

After the beautiful figure finished speaking, the mocking expression on her face did not diminish one bit; in fact, it grew even more intense as she watched the center of the scene closely.

Even Xiao Yi was taken aback. He also had not expected Chen Jianguo to be this angry!

The onlookers and people like Boss Zhang, however, had no idea about Xiao Yi’s place in Chen Jianguo’s heart. In fact, apart from his trusted person, Liu Yuan, he had never talked about it much with anyone else, not even mentioning his acquaintance with Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was not just his friend; he was his benefactor, and to some extent, he always treated Xiao Yi as his lord. He always felt that the success of Jianguo Group and Chen Jianguo himself was because of Xiao Yi’s grandfather, Xiao Tianci!

If something truly went wrong with Xiao Yi here today, how would he explain it to Elder Xiao!

Chen Jianguo did not notice the odd looks of the surrounding crowd; at the moment, he simply had no mind to pay attention to them. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Without waiting for Boss Zhang and others to react, he continued to curse, "If you don’t give me an explanation today, this matter will not be settled!"

"I......"

Watching Chen Jianguo getting angrier and more severe with every word, Boss Zhang could no longer bear it and almost knelt down, his legs giving way. Fortunately, a lackey by his side reacted quickly, steadying him. Although he managed to stabilize his stance, the fear in his heart did not fade. Watching the menacing look on Chen Jianguo’s face, he wanted to say something, but his tongue suddenly felt tied, and he could not utter a word. His complexion turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and pleading as he looked at Chen Jianguo.

"Director Chen, please calm down, calm down. We are all old friends here. Please be assured, I will definitely give you an answer for this matter!"

A man in his fifties, with an ordinary face and a medium build, not too fat nor too thin, and always a glint of shrewdness in his not-so-large eyes, pushed his way through the crowd with a sweaty face and frantically apologized.

This figure was the one Xiao Yi had seen earlier, walking side by side with Chen Jianguo from a distance.

"District Chief Situ!"

Seeing this sudden figure, Director Li almost blurted out.

"District Chief Situ?"

Hearing Director Li’s words, the two men beside Director Li, along with Boss Zhang, who was already almost unable to stand steady from Chen Jianguo’s thunderous fury, and that group of underlings all couldn’t help but raise their heads and looked toward the man who had burst out.

When their gazes clearly made out the figure of the man, their expressions immediately changed.

The tall and sturdy man who had just been helped up by Director Li couldn’t bear it and collapsed directly onto the ground.

But their eyes had barely glanced at this person’s face when they were completely certain, the man before them was none other than District Chief Situ Hongliang!

If it could be said that Chen Jianguo was, after all, somewhat low-key and, especially to those people, relatively more unfamiliar. Then this man was absolutely well-known to them, although almost everyone standing there usually had no qualification to directly contact him. However, on some major occasions and at some significant meetings, they still could glance at him from a distance, listen to his speeches, and in daily life, they were not short of instructions communicated by the District Chief. The documents signed by Situ Hongliang were also something every one of them had read, and almost everyone knew Situ Hongliang’s resume by heart.

"District Chief Situ!"

"It really is District Chief Situ!"

"Wow, even District Chief Situ has come out..."

"......"

The ordinary people around, hearing those people’s words, inevitably also turned their eyes towards the man in the center of the scene, and in almost an instant, the crowd recognized District Chief Situ, a person familiar to nearly every resident of the area.

The crowd suddenly buzzed with excitement, even more so than when they recognized Chen Jianguo!

Usually, they only saw his pictures on TV from a distance, listened to his speeches, looked at various documents and regulations he had newly issued. No one had thought that they would one day see their District Chief up close!

Situ Hongliang paid no attention to Boss Zhang and the others; it was as if they didn’t exist. As for the commotion from the surrounding crowd, he was completely unmoved, simply continuing to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his attention all on Chen Jianguo, his face anxious as he kept smiling apologetically, repeatedly saying, "Director Chen, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry."

"How can I not be angry? How can you ask me not to be angry?"

The district leader, again and again with a smiling face, kept apologizing, but Chen Jianguo was not buying any of it. His anger had yet to subside, and he shouted loudly, getting angrier as he spoke, "Situ, I’m telling you, today I, Chen Jianguo, am putting it here. If you don’t give me an explanation, don’t blame me for disregarding our many years of friendship. The cooperative project we discussed need not be talked about anymore. Furthermore, Jianguo Group will move all the subsidiary companies of Jianguo Group registered in the East River District out of East River District effective today! Today’s incident has greatly disappointed me, very much so. I’m really starting to doubt the security and environmental issues in East River District!"

Hearing this statement from Chen Jianguo, Situ Hongliang’s expression involuntarily stiffened. When he raised his head and saw Chen Jianguo’s resolute face, which did not seem to be joking at all, his figure suddenly shuddered. If it were just the current project being terminated, he could barely accept it, but... if he were to move all those companies out... then, damn it, even as the District Chief, he could not bear this responsibility. It was not just that, at over fifty years of age, his career was not likely to advance much more, but crucially, the welfare he had intended for the district’s residents would be completely lost!

All his hard work over the years, the planning and effort he had put into the economic development of the district, would also suffer a major blow, even possibly turned to naught...

Boss Zhang, Director Li, and others beside him once again turned completely pale, their figures also violently shaking, their clothes thoroughly soaked in cold sweat...

"Director Chen, please don’t be angry. I’ve said, I will certainly give you an explanation. We’ve been friends for so many years; you must believe me!"

After a while, Situ Hongliang finally snapped out of it, the sweat dripping from his palms, as he continuously addressed the resolute Chen Jianguo. Meanwhile, he looked anxiously outside the crowd and started cursing, "That Wang, that bastard, hasn’t he come over yet?"

"I’m here!"

As his cursing fell, a loud voice came from outside the crowd. Following the sound, there was a stir in the back of the crowd. A tall man, about 1.8 meters tall and in his early thirties, whose demeanor carried an air of imposing strength, parted the crowd and quickly strode in. (To be continued.
