Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I’ll Handle It Right Now

"What a fine-looking gentleman!"

The secretary warmly grasped Chen Dashan’s hand, looking like they were long-lost friends.

Wang Ruhu’s legs went weak with fear. Who was this guy?

One phone call could make the town’s top official rush over in person. This was bad, really bad...

The surrounding staff members all lowered their heads, silently resenting themselves for missing the chance to curry favor with a big shot.

Zhang Xuewen was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t this guy just running errands for Boss Chen? Why was the big shot being so polite to him?

She looked at Chen Dashan again, his profile handsome and dignified, showing neither arrogance nor servility. Remembering his large hand on her waist, Zhang Xuewen felt a warmth surge in her heart. She stole a glance at Chen Dashan, then quickly lowered her head, her cheeks burning.

The secretary smilingly and carefully sized up Chen Dashan, continuing: "Boss Wang called me just now. I was having a meeting nearby and heard you were having trouble with your business here?"

His tone shifted, and he directed a sharp look at the balding director nearby.

The director froze, drenched in sweat, his mouth trembling: "N-no... No way, I was personally handling Boss Chen’s business."

"I’ll take care of it right away."

The director finished, bowing and scraping, approaching Chen Dashan with a sycophantic smile: "It’s my fault. I didn’t realize you were the secretary’s esteemed friend. Please give me your documents, and I’ll personally handle your business."

Seeing the greasy director’s ingratiating smile, Chen Dashan chuckled and casually tossed the documents to Wang Ruhu: "Have him take care of it."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Wang Ruhu was terrified, receiving the documents with both hands and bowing repeatedly, his previous arrogance completely gone.

The secretary glanced meaningfully at everyone present and, still smiling, addressed Chen Dashan: "President Wang says you are her brother?"

"I wouldn’t dare to claim that. She trusts me."

Chen Dashan humbly replied, his attitude neither flattering nor arrogant, which greatly satisfied the secretary.

Smiling broadly, the secretary continued: "It’s rare to meet President Wang, either she’s busy with business or I’m tied up with official duties. There’s something I need to trouble you to ask her."

The secretary’s eyes glinted like an old fox’s.

The director stared, knowing he should stay silent here.

What kind of background did this young man have, to make the town’s top official ask him for help? He’d have to get close to this guy in the future.

Seeing that Chen Dashan wasn’t responding or making grand promises, the secretary sighed and said: "Here’s the thing. Our Longshan Town is a poor county, and I want to develop it, like tourism and the Tianhai Lake Scenic Spot project. But as you know, without money, these things can’t happen."

"If President Wang could invest, I can guarantee she’d see returns."

Chen Dashan understood the secretary’s meaning and smiled: "I can relay your message to Sister Wang, but investment decisions are up to her."

"However, I’m personally very interested in projects that develop rural areas."

"Oh?"

The secretary’s eyes lit up immediately. Someone who could interact with Wang Shiman couldn’t be an ordinary person.

With this thought, the secretary became even more courteous to Chen Dashan, shifting from addressing him as Boss Chen to calling him little brother.

Five minutes later.

"Uh... Boss Chen, your documents are stamped and ready,"

Wang Ruhu respectfully stood at the VIP room door, holding the documents with both hands. Chen Dashan turned and casually asked: "Is everything handled properly?"

"Rest assured, you won’t need to make a second trip."

Wang Ruhu was dripping cold sweat, knowing the director had warned him that if he angered the secretary, he’d be packing up and leaving today.

At this moment, Wang Ruhu was like an ant on a hot pan, both fearing and wanting to curry favor with Chen Dashan.

"Who just said that if the task was completed today, they would eat shit?"

Chen Dashan chuckled.

Wang Ruhu’s knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, his face pleading: "Boss Chen, I was wrong, I didn’t recognize who you were. I have a foul mouth, I won’t dare again."

"I have three kids to support at home, I can’t lose this job."

Wang Ruhu sobbed and sniffled.

"Someone like you, wielding a feather duster like an imperial arrow, unsuited for this job, with an overbearing manner. Who gave you the authority?"

The secretary stood up in anger, about to kick Wang Ruhu.

Wang Ruhu knelt on the ground, continuously begging Chen Dashan for forgiveness.

"If your actions delay the county’s development projects, I won’t spare you!"

With a sharp "smack," the secretary slammed the teacup beside him onto the ground next to Wang Ruhu.

The commotion was loud, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly. They were all on edge.

Zhang Xuewen clutched her file folder, craning her neck towards the VIP room.

...

A few minutes later.

The secretary and Chen Dashan exited the VIP room one after the other. The secretary paused at the door, smiling: "Little brother, let’s stick to this plan. Next time, I’ll treat you to fishing and dining at the Tianhu Scenic Spot."

"Sure!"

Chen Dashan readily agreed.

The secretary left without even acknowledging the director. The director hurried over to Chen Dashan, saying: "Boss Chen, next time you need to handle business, just call me directly. You don’t need to come in person. I’ll send someone to collect the documents. I’ll deal with today’s issue seriously to ensure it never happens again."

The director pounded his chest with assurances, and Chen Dashan made a few perfunctory remarks before turning his gaze to Zhang Xuewen sitting on the couch: "Oh, right, and hers too."

Seeing Chen Dashan point his finger at her, Zhang Xuewen’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened. He remembered her?

Chen Dashan smiled slightly: "She’s my friend. Is there any missing information for her business?"

"No, nothing missing!"

The director wiped the sweat off his forehead and ingratiatingly said: "I’ll handle it right now. Boss Chen, I apologize. We didn’t know she was your friend. I’ll take care of it immediately."

Saying this, the director plastered on a fawning smile and scurried over to Zhang Xuewen.

At this moment, Zhang Xuewen felt like she was dreaming, seeing the usually unapproachable big shots fawning over her. Her business, which had required countless trips, was solved with just one word from Chen Dashan.

She stared at Chen Dashan, ears burning.

Seeing Chen Dashan about to leave, Zhang Xuewen, abandoning her documents, chased after him on her long, white legs, calling out at the door: "Wait!"

Chen Dashan frowned and turned to look at the girl chasing after him. She had a slender, well-proportioned figure and an oval face. Modestly dressed, she looked like a student, innocent and pretty, with a ponytail resting on her shoulder, her cheeks flushed. "I still don’t know your name,"

"And you helped me. We’re friends now. I want to treat you to a meal."
