A Bumpy Road to Power Chapter 612 612

Dirk Carter was silent for a mont.

He smiled and asked, "Now I finally understand why Secretary Hall chose Director Shelby. Director Shelby is truly a perfect mouthpiece."

Grantland Shelby was taken aback.

He asked, "What do you an?"

Dirk Carter reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

He said, "It seems Director Shelby still doesn't understand , Dirk Carter. The usual way of dealing with people doesn't work with . You had a chance to turn big matters into small ones and small ones into nothing, but now, you don't."

After saying this.

Dirk Carter stood up.

"Dirk Carter! Don't think that just because you're the executive vice mayor, I'm afraid of you. Koryn City doesn't revolve around you, and you're not the top leader."

Dirk Carter waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to deal with Grantland Shelby anymore, nor to wait for Michael Hall. He left directly.

Grantland Shelby stomped his foot.

He dashed out of the reception room.

By this ti, the door to the secretary's office had already opened.

"Did you reach an agreent?"

Michael Hall asked.

Grantland Shelby, with an enraged expression, said, "Secretary Hall, this Dirk Carter is utterly arrogant. He... he doesn't care about you at all..."

After speaking.

He exaggeratedly recounted the conversation he had with Dirk Carter.

Michael Hall was also soone who cared about face.

Upon hearing these inflammatory words, anger climbed onto his face as well.

Through gritted teeth, he said, "Such an ungrateful person, since he doesn't respect , I won't be courteous either. Cortez Sawyer, co over here."

Michael Hall called out to his secretary, Cortez Sawyer.

After Cortez Sawyer hurried over.

Michael Hall asked, "Has Elliot Douglas returned?"

Cortez Sawyer said, "Just arrived."

"Inform the committee; we'll have a eting in half an hour."

"Yes!"

Cortez Sawyer hurriedly ran off.

Seeing Michael Hall angered.

Grantland Shelby seed pleased, cautiously asking, "Secretary Hall, then what... what should I do?"

"Just continue as you were, stay in the reception room and wait for my news. I want to see how Dirk Carter will move against you."

Michael Hall said.

3:00 PM.

Koryn City Committee Conference Room.

The committee mbers who received the notification were all present.

Why suddenly convene this committee eting?

Michael Hall's purpose was very clear; he wanted to give Dirk Carter a good reprimand, to display his attitude in front of everyone.

Otherwise, Dirk Carter genuinely wouldn't take him seriously.

"Today's committee eting has two main topics. The first topic is about the filming of the 'Great Prosperity' production in Koryn City. As everyone knows, 'Great Prosperity' is the latest work by the famous director Cortezian Ulrich. Once this film is released, it will bring trendous traffic to Koryn City, so the entire city must give its fullest support. The Publicity Departnt will be responsible for this matter."

Michael Hall said.

Speaking of this point, one must ntion the movie 'Great Prosperity'.

This film, prepared by the nationally renowned director Cortezian Ulrich since last year.

Cortezian Ulrich is quite famous dostically.

He's made many notable works, with good box office returns.

The decision to start filming the new movie in Koryn City is indeed an opportunity for Koryn City.

Not only does it promote Koryn City's tourism, but it also helps boost Koryn City's reputation significantly.

So, a few months ago, when it was confird to start filming in Koryn City, everyone was excited.

However, no one present knows that this film's investor is Lanfar dia Co., Ltd.

And currently, the person in charge of Lanfar dia is Catherine Sawyer.

In other words, the fact that 'Great Prosperity' can start filming in Koryn City is all thanks to Dirk Carter's covert efforts.

Publicity Minister Danielle Linden nodded and said, "Rest assured Secretary Hall, the Publicity Departnt will handle this matter well."

Michael Hall nodded.

He said, "Bringing this film to start filming in Koryn City took a lot of effort from ; my idea is very simple, to enhance Koryn City's reputation. I believe that after this film, Koryn City's reputation will rise a level. So the Municipal Governnt must improve the city's image and tourism issues in the near future—"

This statent had quite a bit of boasting in it.

The production did indeed seek out Michael Hall.

But he didn't exert any effort because Lanfar dia, the investor, had long ago required it to start filming in Koryn City, effectively giving Michael Hall an easy advantage.

As he spoke.

Michael Hall paused for a mont.

He said, "Here we must move to the second topic. I propose the establishnt of a leadership group dedicated to enhancing the city's image and tourism environnt projects. Does anyone have any comnts?"

Elliot Douglas furrowed his brow.

He said, "Personally, I believe Secretary Hall's proposal is very necessary. After 'Great Prosperity' is released, it will inevitably spark a tourism wave. If the Koryn City Committee and Governnt cannot handle this influx, it would be a waste."

Deputy Secretary Hakeem Young asked, "Secretary Hall, then who will lead this leadership group?"

Michael Hall thought for a mont.

He said, "Director Shelby of the Comrce Bureau is quite competent; my suggestion is to have him serve as the leader of this group. What does everyone think?"

As soon as Grantland Shelby's na was ntioned.

Dirk Carter jolted.

Elliot Douglas also felt an inexplicable pang.

He had originally set Dirk Carter to deal with Grantland Shelby, thinking that this committee eting was rely a work eting, but unexpectedly, Michael Hall had hidden intentions.

He also noticed.

This was Michael Hall's counterattack against Dirk Carter.

Feeling delighted within.

He said, "Indeed, Grantland Shelby is quite serious about his work. It's appropriate for him to lead this group, in my opinion."

As he said this, he slyly glanced at Dirk Carter.

For him, his scheming had already taken effect, and he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.

Supporting Michael Hall also ant enlarging the conflict between Dirk Carter and Michael Hall.

In this way, there's no chance for reconciliation between the two.

Moreover, it serves to suppress Dirk Carter.

First Dirk Carter plans to deal with Grantland Shelby, then Grantland Shelby gets promoted.

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

Dirk Carter's authority in Koryn City will naturally suffer a considerable blow.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not?

Michael Hall, a fool.

Seeing Elliot Douglas supporting him, he was overjoyed and looked at Dirk Carter provocatively, completely unaware he had fallen into Elliot Douglas's carefully laid trap.

Seeing Elliot Douglas agree.

Hakeem Young imdiately said, "I agree with the two leaders' opinions to have Director Shelby lead this group."
