Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Extremely Valuable Local Specialty!

"Director Xu, as such a high-ranking leader, it’s not easy for you to make a trip to our poor place in Qingshan Town, so we can’t let you return empty-handed."

"It’s a pity that Qingshan Town is impoverished and remote, so we really don’t have anything valuable."

"The only thing we can offer is some local produce."

"I’ve had some prepared, just some wild mushrooms and vegetables, not worth much, but they’re fresh after all. You can take them back to have a taste."

"Don’t look down on the modest gift, but you must give me the honor of accepting it."

Li Zhu presented the items with a smile plastered across his face.

He’d first offered his niece, Li Xiaoju, and now he was handing over two big bags of quality goods, firmly believing he had secured Xu Qianli as a patron.

With Xu Qianli as his backer, his actions would be much more convenient in the future.

Xu Qianli glanced at the two bulging bags, which outwardly were just plain woven sacks, but he didn’t for a moment believe they actually contained mere mushrooms and wild vegetables.

Whatever they were, these were exactly what he wanted, things that could easily be used to take Li Zhu down.

Xu Qianli kept his composure, nodding slightly.

"It seems Secretary Li is a wise man. Since we are both wise, I will not say much more."

"My visit to Qingshan Town was impromptu, and there is still much to do in the county, so I will not linger here any longer."

With the goods in hand, Xu Qianli was ready to leave.

Before Li Zhu could utter a word, Li Xiaoju reached out and grabbed Xu Qianli’s arm.

"Director Xu, when will you come again? I’m afraid I’ll miss you."

Li Zhu cursed inwardly, "Fucking shameless," remembering how previously, when he had asked her to sleep with Xu Qianli, she had acted all morally upright, adamantly refusing until he had threatened her into agreement.

Now, after being with Xu Qianli and having tasted the pleasures of the flesh, she couldn’t bear to part with him?

Shameless, fucking shameless!

Xu Qianli said, "If the chance arises, I will come visit Qingshan Town again."

Without further delay, Xu Qianli left with the items.

Before leaving Qingshan Town, Xu Qianli made a call to Ding Meixin to arrange their next meeting.

On his way out of town, he stopped at a shop selling air conditioners, placed an order for several units, and arranged for them to be delivered and installed in the teachers’ dormitories at Qingshan Middle School.

With the weather so hot, and Ding Meixin’s place lacking even a single air conditioner, and since she didn’t want to move to the county, Xu Qianli, who was fond of her, could only do what was within his means to help.

Before long, Xu Qianli’s car left the streets of Qingshan Town, heading straight for Jiang City.

A black car followed closely behind Xu Qianli’s all the way until it saw that Xu Qianli’s car had passed beyond the boundaries of Qingshan Town, and only then did it stop.

The car held none other than Li Zhu and his son, Li Bangjun.

Li Bangjun said, "Dad, that guy beat me so badly, yet not only did you not help me seek revenge, but you also sent Xiaoju to him and gave him so many benefits. Was it really worth it?"

Li Bangjun was truly furious.

After all, who was he? His father, Li Zhu, was the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town; he himself was like a prince here, always acting with impunity, always the bully and never the bullied.

And now, for the sake of that bitch Ding Meixin, he ended up getting beaten up by Xu Qianli, almost to death.

He had expected his father to fiercely avenge him, allowing him to release his anger, but who could have expected this outcome?

He truly couldn’t swallow this insult!

Li Zhu, smoking a cigarette, snorted coldly before finally responding.

"Do you really think your dad is a god, someone who can take care of anybody?"

"You don’t even realize what kind of position that kid holds, nor how ruthless he is!"

"He’s so young, yet he already became the Director of the County Government Office. Could he possibly lack powerful backing?"

"What’s more important is that nowadays he has Zhang Kuisan completely under his thumb, and within the County Government, his words carry more weight than anyone else’s."

"That’s not all. A couple of days ago, Mayor Lu’s son, Lu Chen, was arrested by people sent from the Provincial Department. The whole mess got exposed and almost led to gunfire."

"Do you know who cleaned up after him? It was Xu Qianli!"

Li Bangjun was genuinely shocked, as he had never heard such news, "Dad, you’re joking, right? With his sort of caliber, how could he take down Young Master Lu?"

Li Bangjun considered himself somewhat capable within the confines of Qingshan Town, but looking at the whole of Zhongzhou City, he was nothing.

Lu Chen was the top tycoon in Zhongzhou City, engaging in activities he wouldn’t even dare dream of, someone he’d always idolized.

And to think that such an impressive figure was taken down by Xu Qianli?

That was scary to even consider. Could it be true?

Li Zhu glared.

"You still don’t believe it?"

"Your father has friends in the Provincial Department. They told me firsthand that the reason Lu Chen was doomed was all because Xu Qianli made a move, and even Mayor Lu got implicated and might very well step down."

"In short, listen to me, son. Don’t you dare mess with him, and don’t even think about vengeance."

"And his girlfriend, if you dare to bother her again, I won’t even need Xu Qianli to intervene, I will bury you myself!"

Li Zhu sternly warned Li Bangjun.

Had his son not gone out of his mind today and provoked Xu Qianli, would he have had to sacrifice his niece and bleed out so much in bribes to smooth things over?

He definitely did not want that wastrel to trouble him again.

Li Bangjun nodded repeatedly, "Dad, even if you gave me ten more guts, I wouldn’t dare to go after Ding Meixin. But about Li Xiaoju, she got played by Xu Qianli, how are we supposed to explain this to uncle?"

"Explain what nonsense? She got laid by a man, is she going to broadcast it everywhere?"

"Oh, my precious belongings, to think they ended up with that bastard Xu Qianli..."

Li Zhu didn’t care about Li Xiaoju at all, but the thought of what he had given away made his heart ache with regret.

On the other side, Xu Qianli drove straight for the county seat, arriving in record time.

He didn’t return to the County Government, but instead went to the County Committee Office, carrying two large bags to Ge Changhong’s office.

Slapping the bags on Ge Changhong’s desk, Xu Qianli succinctly recounted the events.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ge Changhong immediately made a phone call.

Soon, Fan Hua, the Jiang City Disciplinary Committee Secretary rushed over, "Secretary Ge, you called for me."

"Yes, I did," Ge Changhong pointed to the desk, "Take a look at what’s inside these two bags."

Following the order, Fan Hua stepped forward and opened the two seemingly ordinary burlap bags.

As he poured out their contents, his expression grew grave instantly.

He saw that the contents of the two snake-skin bags were none other than twenty Huanghelou gold bricks, invoices for three kilos of top-quality tea at one hundred and fifty thousand per kilo, and as much as a million in cash.

The value of these items was already over two million!

Beyond that, there were even ten gold bars.

Such a gift was extraordinarily substantial.

As the Secretary of the Jiang City Disciplinary Committee, Fan Hua’s expression turned extremely serious.

"Secretary Ge, where did all these things come from?"
