Chapter 1896 - 1803: A Cut Off

Capítulo 1896: Chapter 1803: A Cut Off

“Our Feng Shuo is an official, an honest one, with clean hands. He doesn’t have money to give Feng Sheng. Although we didn’t contribute financially, Feng Shuo helped a lot when Feng Sheng was buying land. Just one word from Feng Shuo can save Feng Sheng millions!” Second Uncle’s Wife responded, unwilling to show weakness.

“Brother-in-law, I know you mean well, but you really can’t help with this issue. I’ve gone through all the banks in Minghe City, and reached out to countless people without success. I appreciate your intentions, but we don’t need to insist; if bankruptcy happens, I’ll just sell barbecue on the street.” Feng Sheng said.

“Exactly, husband. If we go bankrupt, we’ll sell barbecue together. Even if it collapses, we won’t rely on those nosy relatives.” Feng Sheng’s Wife suddenly found courage.

“Oh, when it’s not possible to help, now they say they don’t rely on us. Previously, which of those plots Feng Sheng got didn’t involve Feng Shuo working hard? Now that it’s hard to help, they conveniently say if it collapses, they won’t rely on us—how shameless.” Feng Shuo’s Wife mocked.

The conversation among the group was becoming more intense, with one retort following another. It started as a young generation’s table argument and gradually spread to the elders’ table, causing Song Xiaodong and Li Sijie’s eardrums to ache.

Feng Shuo’s Wife and Feng Sheng’s Wife were also brewing emotion, both glaring at each other furiously.

Many attendees were present to show support, including Li Fengrao’s colleagues and former business partners. When almost everyone was present, the opening celebration began.

Just as Feng Shuo’s Wife and Feng Sheng’s Wife were about to argue, loud firecracker noises erupted from outside, drowning out the voices inside.

The opening ceremony officially commenced.

The host introduced the guests.

They were colleagues, bosses, minor officials, while the two tables of relatives were skipped.

Then it was Li Fengrao’s speech.

After that, the address by the attending senior official.

“Now let’s welcome Director Li from Minghe City’s Financial Affairs Bureau for a speech.”

Director Li, nearing fifty, stepped onto the stage to start speaking.

“Who is that?” Second Uncle’s Wife asked quietly.

“Wasn’t it just mentioned? It’s Director Li from our Minghe City’s Financial Affairs Bureau.” Eldest Uncle’s Wife boasted proudly.

“Oh, a director? Our Feng Shuo is also a director, why didn’t Feng Shuo give a speech?” Second Uncle’s Wife looked at Li Fengrao unsatisfied.

“Director Li is the director of the Financial Affairs Bureau, he’s the leader specialized in managing Feng Rao’s area.” Third Uncle’s Wife explained.

“Feng Shuo is specialized in managing Feng Sheng.” Feng Sheng’s Wife proudly wiggled her body as she glanced at Feng Sheng’s Wife.

Feng Sheng’s Wife’s complexion turned pale.

“Wow, Feng Rao has even the supervisors come to support him; it would be hard not to make money in the future with this business!”

Then there was the ribbon-cutting.

“Wow? Mr. Song?”

Song Xiaodong and Li Sijie sat in the corner, and when the speaker, Director Li from Minghe City’s Financial Affairs Bureau, stepped off the stage, he glanced towards the corner and noticed Song Xiaodong.

Director Li quickly jogged over.

“Mr. Song, is it really you?” Director Li looking at Song Xiaodong, somewhat unbelieving.

Li Fengrao had arranged for Director Li to do the ribbon-cutting.

As a result, Director Li came off the stage and went straight to Song Xiaodong’s table, startling the host and Li Fengrao.

Li Fengrao followed.

Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Eldest Uncle’s Wife, Second Uncle’s Wife, Third Uncle’s Wife, Second Brother, Third Brother, Second Brother’s Wife were all caught off guard.

This man was at least a director, why was he being so deferential to Li Sijie’s husband?

“Who are you?” Song Xiaodong didn’t recognize Director Li.

“Oh, Mr. Song, you may not remember me. I’m Xiao Li from the Financial Affairs Bureau, I accompanied you during your dinner with our leader, Director Zhao, last time.” Director Li held onto Song Xiaodong’s hand, not letting go.

Everyone present and Li Fengrao standing were also dumbfounded.

Director Li in front of Li Sijie’s second marriage husband, unexpectedly calling himself Xiao Li?

And when Mr. Song dined with others, Director Li was only there to accompany?

The Uncles and Aunties looked at Song Xiaodong with complex expressions.

The younger generation also looked incredulous at Song Xiaodong and Director Li.

“Director Li, you must have mistaken him; this is my brother-in-law, Song Xiaodong, not the Mr. Song you mentioned?” Feng Shuo stood up to say to Director Li.

Director Li looked at who Feng Shuo was pointing to: Li Sijie. Then he bent down abruptly and said to Li Sijie: “Then you must be the madam, I’m Xiao Li.” Director Li respectfully said to Li Sijie.

The two tables’ attendees were even more surprised.

“Hello, I’m Li Sijie.” Li Sijie said both very calmly and politely.

Director Li completely ignored Feng Shuo.

“Hello, I’m Li Fengshuo from the City Urban Construction Bureau.” Feng Shuo was determined to regain some face.

“Oh, hello.” Director Li symbolically shook hands with Feng Shuo, then immediately turned back to Song Xiaodong.

“So Feng Rao and Mr. Song, you are relatives? In that case, I will look out for Feng Rao’s business in deference to Mr. Song in the future!” Director Li smiled and glanced at Song Xiaodong and Li Fengrao.

“Then I’ll trouble Director Li.” Song Xiaodong lightly nodded.

“Oh, Director Li, you’re too kind. With your word, I’m relieved. I’ll definitely work hard and not let Director Li worry.” Li Fengrao, upon hearing this, respected Song Xiaodong even more, knowing that with Director Li’s words, it meant he had already found protection at higher levels, and his future business was sure to thrive.
