125: Chapter 125: Party Secretary of Qingshan Town!

Fearing a further entanglement with Xu Qianli, Li Bangjun, who had suffered a major loss, dared not fart again and scampered off, leading his followers in a quick escape that soon left them out of sight.

After driving Li Bangjun off, Xu Qianli’s anger subsided, and he returned to his own table, “I didn’t scare you all just now, did I?”

Ding Meixin kept silent, while Wei Linlin blurted out quickly, “Are you kidding?

You almost scared me to death just now.

I never thought you were so fierce, actually daring to fight Li Bangjun, not even afraid when he brought up Secretary Li, you’re incredible.

It’s hard to believe that beneath your scholarly and gentle appearance, you’re so formidable in a fight, it’s just amazing, I was totally dumbstruck just now…”

Wei Linlin kept chattering endlessly, clearly shaken by Xu Qianli’s bold move earlier.

When she compared her own wimpy boyfriend to such a man, she found the latter far more impressive.

Suddenly, Wei Linlin remembered how Xu Qianli had bullied Ding Meixin, and considering his performance and the measure of it, she felt even more discontent with her own boyfriend.

Annoying, both are boyfriends, so why is there no comparison between hers and Ding Meixin’s?

While Wei Linlin was babbling away, the kind-hearted breakfast shop owner came over and whispered a warning.

“Young man, you just beat up that bastard Li Bangjun, and I must say I felt relieved watching it.”

“But that bastard has a background.

His father, Li Zhu, is the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town.

You can’t afford to offend him.

You better run quickly, or you won’t be able to escape later.”

“This meal is on me; you all should get going!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli smiled and said, “Thank you, ma’am, but Li Zhu is just Li Zhu; I really don’t take him seriously.

Actually, I was looking forward to settling some accounts with him, so I’ll just wait for him right here.”

The owner shook her head at this; young people who have not suffered are so hard to advise, and they will end up learning the hard way.

Full of curiosity, Wei Linlin shook Ding Meixin’s arm vigorously.

“Hey, Meixin, you’re so impressive.

What does he do that he isn’t even afraid of Secretary Li?”

“Driving such a nice car, could he be a second generation rich kid?”

“Whose son is he among the big shots in the county?”

“Come on, tell me; don’t keep me in the dark!”

Xu Qianli said, “I’m no scion; I’m just a public servant.”

Wei Linlin rolled her eyes, “I don’t believe you for a second!

Oh, I suddenly have a stomachache.

You guys wait; I’ll be right back.”

For some reason, Wei Linlin felt a sudden stomachache and hurried to the restroom.

By the time she returned after finishing up, she heard the sound of police sirens outside.

Several police cars had pulled up at the entrance of the breakfast shop.

The car doors opened, and a man in his fifties, looking rather plump, jumped out first.

With a fierce expression on his face, followed by Li Bangjun, who had come back for more, they stormed into the breakfast shop surrounded by a dozen policemen.

Wei Linlin was astounded, “Oh my God, isn’t that Secretary Li?

How did he get here so fast?”

The plump man was indeed Li Bangjun’s father, Li Zhu.

He entered the shop with an air of viciousness and slammed a hand down on a nearby table.

“Who was it, who the hell hit my son?

I’ll make sure they won’t get away with this!”

Li Bangjun pointed at Xu Qianli, “Dad, it’s him, this bastard is the one who hit me!”

Hearing this, Xu Qianli smacked the table and lunged at Li Bangjun, kicking him before anyone could react, sending him sprawling on the ground.

“Damn you, I let you off once, and you still have the audacity to make a scene in front of me, you’re asking for it!”

With the sounds of miserable howling, Li Bangjun fell embarrassingly onto the floor, clutching his stomach and writhing in pain, with his bowels and bladder losing control; the mess he made of himself could not have been more pitiful.

Li Zhu was completely astounded.

Dammit, upon hearing that his son had gotten into a fight, he immediately brought reinforcement to even the score.

“I never expected it, he dared to hit my son right in front of me, not giving me the slightest regard?”

“Hit my son?

I won’t forgive you for this, someone, take him…”

Before Li Zhu could finish, he abruptly stopped, as he had just recognized Xu Qianli.

“Director, Director Xu!”

Upon recognizing Xu Qianli’s face, Li Zhu shivered all over.

Damn it, isn’t this Xu Qianli, the Government Office Director?

How could it be him?

As the Party Secretary of Qingshan Town, Li Zhu held the highest official position there.

But compared to Xu Qianli, there was a huge gap in their statuses.

After all, Xu Qianli was the Jiang City Government Office Director, and though his power wasn’t great, he was a favored person close to the leadership, far beyond Li Zhu’s league.

More so, Li Zhu had heard the rumors about Xu Qianli these past few days; this guy had caused Zhang Kuisan to lose out and even toppled Lu Chen, the mayor’s son, forcing the mayor Lu Xingtian to take the initiative to ask the Disciplinary Committee for an investigation to prove his innocence.

In Jiang City at the moment, Xu Qianli was an absolute force to be reckoned with.

Of all the people his son could have offended, why did he have to mess with him?

Wei Linlin perked up her ears to the side.

What, Director Xu?

Xu Qianli is so young, how did he become a director?

Which unit, what kind of director?

Xu Qianli looked at Li Zhu with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Who might this be?

Isn’t this Secretary Li from Qingshan Town?

You still recognize a minor character like me?”

“Ah, Director Xu, what are you saying?”

“Compared to a bigshot like you, I, Li Zhu, am nothing.”

“I failed to recognize Mount Tai earlier and did not recognize you.

I hope for your understanding, forgiveness, and forbearance.”

“Director Xu, please have a cigarette, have a cigarette.”

Li Zhu had a big smile plastered on his face, hastily taking out some cigarettes to offer them, showing extreme subservience.

It was a joke, this young man could keep Zhang Kuisan in check, and was about to become the secretary of the soon-to-be County Magistrate Lan Qianrong, Li Zhu couldn’t fawn over him fast enough, let alone provoke him.

As for hitting his own son, Li Zhu didn’t dare even fart about it now.

Xu Qianli accepted the cigarette and looked at him smilingly, “Tsk tsk, Huanghelou gold bricks, nice tobacco.

Secretary Li really knows how to enjoy himself.”

Li Zhu’s expression froze for a moment, then he hurriedly explained, “It was a gift from a friend, normally I wouldn’t dare smoke such fine tobacco.”

Xu Qianli said, “That’s true.

We are both department-level cadres.

I roughly know how much you make, it doesn’t make sense for you to smoke cigarettes that cost three thousand yuan a pack every day.”

Li Zhu got even more nervous at the implication, cursing his luck for his son to have offended such a fearsome character, now even bringing scrutiny upon him.

Snapping up the lighter, Xu Qianli took a couple of puffs and cheerfully said, “Cigarettes that cost three thousand yuan a pack really pack a punch, quite different from what I usually smoke.

Secretary Li, you sure know how to live.

Thanks to you, I get to try something new.

By the way, Secretary Li, what are you doing here?

Were you trying to give me trouble?”

Li Zhu quickly shook his head, “Not at all, how would I dare to trouble you, Director Xu.

You must be joking.”

“Joking?”

“Just now you barged in, full of rage, saying I hit your son and you were going to take me down.”

“A person who smokes three thousand yuan packs of fine cigarettes trying to take me down, now that really does scare me.”

Xu Qianli teasingly mocked.
