553: 553 553: 553 Upon hearing the na Bai Xiaosheng, Mayor Dai Mingcheng stood up abruptly.
Due to the suddenness, he gave Zhou Yifa quite a scare.
The mayor’s reaction was too intense.
Even if they knew each other, there was no need to get this excited!
Zhou Yifa was puzzled.
Mayor Dai Mingcheng was always composed and asured.
Could Bai Xiaosheng really shake him to this extent?!
Zhou Yifa was shocked.
Little did he know what Mayor Dai had said to Mayor Ji Mingyang during his previous visit to Zhongjing.
Now, Dai Mingcheng was filled with regret and inwardly vexed.
Why had he insisted on going to Zhongjing in the first place?
Why had he told Ji about the thirteen prefecture-level city enterprises, with two dropping out, informing him that out of the remaining eleven, nine were set to advance without issue?
He had also told him that the final showdown might be between Zhongjing dia and Tianzheng dia, vying for the dia industry’s leading position.
Look where he was now!
A problem had arisen on his side, and it was Bai Xiaosheng who had uncovered it!
Wasn’t this just handing Zhongjing the opportunity to report the issue and disqualify his side, leaving only ten enterprises, and then happily divide the indicators among themselves, everyone delighted…
Tianqing could even be used as a negative example…
Mayor Dai felt bitter inside.
Not getting the provincial flagship enterprise slot was a secondary concern.
After all, even if they got that slot, it didn’t an much to Tianqing, at best earning limited support policies from the provincial governnt.
What’s another honor, after all?
Their Tianqing couldn’t compare to Langbei, let alone Zhongjing, as both cities were awash in wealth, with honor above all else.
Even if Tianqing managed to obtain the pride of a provincial flagship enterprise, it would rely be for show!
Therefore, Dai Mingcheng had never taken this matter completely to heart.
Usually, he just let Zhou Yifa take charge.
However, now that there was a problem, that was another story!
If there was a mishap in the review they sent, they would be bearing the responsibility for the oversight.
This problem could be big or small, potentially affecting his personal career, and even causing the provincial governnt to question their city, which would impact Tianqing!
Zhou Yifa had said they were taking redial asures.
But once the problem blew up, what good would rediation do!
Dai Mingcheng had just listened, and felt the asures Zhou Yifa had taken seed fine but too conservative, aid solely at preserving Tianfu Wealth Managent’s eligibility to report.
That was not enough!
Within a few monts, Dai Mingcheng had made a decision.
“Like this, imdiately go and notify Tianfu Wealth Managent to stop further sales of that product and prepare for a compensation plan and preparations!”
“Have them increase their manpower to make contact with every purchaser and try to appease them as best as possible.”
“Also, regarding the news, instruct the city’s propaganda departnt to get ready to handle public opinion properly.”
…
Dai Mingcheng rattled off seven or eight directives in one breath.
Zhou Yifa noted them down, and there was no problem, but by doing this, they would be exposing the issue to the public.
Currently, the incident had not reached such a level, and that insurance product was only in a trial release, without causing any serious consequences.
Wasn’t this an overreaction?
Would it affect Tianfu Wealth Managent’s qualification for the provincial flagship enterprise?
Zhou Yifa hesitated a bit.
“Old Zhou, trust , when a problem is found, it must be resolved quickly, strictly, and decisively.
This is the only way to handle it!” Dai Mingcheng patted Zhou Yifa’s shoulder, “The provincial governnt is not easy to fool.
Once sothing happens, the leaders look at the attitude!
So, from our own perspective, we cannot tolerate mistakes!”
Zhou Yifa nodded his head.
“Alright, go and handle it promptly.
I will call Minister Fan right away to report the issue!” said Dai Mingcheng in a solemn voice.
Attitude represents everything.
Exposing one’s own issues, without any leniency or indulgence, might be the only way to gain greater forgiveness.
Zhou Yifa seed to have an epiphany and nodded.
Perhaps Mayor Dai’s approach was the most correct one.
“I’ll take care of it right away!” Zhou Yifa said, hurrying off.
Dai Mingcheng also entered an ergency state, not even having ti for lunch and asking his secretary to grab sothing on the go.
At this very mont, at the Li Family.
The noon banquet, which was also a farewell feast for the Bai Family, was in progress.
With Li Wenzun at the helm, the Li Family’s attitude towards the Bai Family mbers had noticeably ward.
Of course, all the warmth was for the sake of one person—Bai Xiaosheng!
“Sheng, whenever you have ti, co to Tianqing, and visit your uncle’s ho.
We’re family after all, and families should visit each other often,” Li Wenzun said to Bai Xiaosheng with a hearty laugh.
“Sure,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled in response.
“Fengguan, you really should stay longer.
Why the rush to leave after just two or three days?” Li Wenzun turned to Li Fengguan and said with a hint of bla in his voice.
“Just can’t let go of ho, always thinking about going back to check on things.
If big brother and sister-in-law have ti and don’t mind, you can visit us in Zhongjing,” Li Fengguan replied with a smile.
She knew, of course, that Li Wenzun’s enthusiasm was all for Sheng’s sake.
Seeing Yu Qingi silent and sowhat despondent, Li Fengguan felt a sense of relief but also didn’t want to upset her sister-in-law any further.
“Alright, alright, we’ll have the chance,” Li Wenzun laughed heartily in response to Li Fengguan’s invitation.
The atmosphere was extrely harmonious.
As the banquet drew to a close, Li Feitian also returned.
Bai Xiaosheng saw that he looked tired but also relieved, as though a burden had been lifted, and Sheng knew that matters must have been resolved.
“Why did you co back so late?” Li Wenzun asked casually.
“There was a bit of an issue at the company that needed my attention, which delayed ,” Li Feitian said with a smile, poured a cup of wine, and raised it towards Bai Xiaosheng, “Sheng, this cup is for you!”
Li Feitian took the initiative to toast Bai Xiaosheng.
So mbers of the Li Family couldn’t help but be surprised.
But in Li Wenzun’s eyes, there was nothing but approval.
There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
This was the vision of a successful businessman!
Moreover, they were related by blood, so naturally, these relationships had to be well maintained and utilized.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and lifted his cup.
As Li Feitian was about to drink the wine he had just brought to his lips, his cell phone on the table rang.
Li Feitian glanced at it, imdiately set down his wine cup, “Sorry, Sheng, it’s Secretary Zhou’s call!”
A call from Zhou Yifa naturally needed imdiate attention.
Everyone present understood.
Li Feitian walked to a corner with his phone, smiling as he answered the call.
However, after listening for just a few seconds, his expression suddenly changed.
Within less than two minutes, Li Feitian’s hand dropped, the call ended, and his face looked incredibly distressed, even ashen.
Li Feitian walked back, and when he looked at Bai Xiaosheng again, his face was overshadowed with gloom.
“Bai Xiaosheng!” There was a hint of aggression in his voice.
Municipal Office of the Mayor of Tianqing.
Zhou Yifa knocked on the door and, upon receiving permission, hurried in.
All matters had been settled, and the last call he made to Li Feitian was to convey the Mayor’s stern request.
Zhou Yifa was now there to report back to Dai Mingcheng.
“Old Zhou, you’ve co at just the right ti,” Dai Mingcheng stood up and said to him, “Co with to the Li Family’s place, I want to see Bai Xiaosheng!”
