424: Chapter 424: Visitors in Town 424: Chapter 424: Visitors in Town When Wang Guihua saw this man appear, her eyes brightened even more, for she recognized him; she had seen this man in the office when she accompanied Luo Baoyan to the town.
He was the secretary of Guo Zhen town, surnad Zhang.
“Ah!
Secretary Zhang, hello, hello!
What brings you here today without even telling and Baoyan?
We would have co to receive you!”
Wang Guihua shook her bucket-like waist, her plump face carrying what she thought was a very beautiful smile as she swayed towards Secretary Zhang.
Secretary Zhang joggled into Baiyang Village, his eyes flitting about, clearly looking for soone.
And when he passed the bulldozers and excavators that were relocating, he glanced at the house that had already beco rubble.
A flicker of sympathy crossed his gaze before it cleared of any further unexpected expressions.
Watching this scene, Luo Baoyan’s heart sank, knowing that sothing bad was about to happen.
“Yes, hello, hello!”
Secretary Zhang, seeing Wang Guihua pressing close to him, flashed a trace of disgust in his eyes; his response was clearly perfunctory.
Unaware, Wang Guihua still clung tight to Secretary Zhang and boasted loudly, “Secretary Zhang, you must stand with Baoyan and .
So outsider dared to demolish the Village Chief’s house directly in our Baiyang Village.
Such people deserve to die, don’t they?”
Secretary Zhang’s eyes flashed an inexplicable look.
Without turning his head, he said sternly to Wang Guihua, “Wang Guihua, right?
Mind your image a bit.
I am here on important business today, not to chat with you about daily matters!”
After speaking, Secretary Zhang shook off Wang Guihua’s hand, then his expression changed, and he wore a kind and respectful smile as he asked.
“May I know, among those present, who is Mr.
Xiao Yifei?”
After being shaken off by Secretary Zhang, Wang Guihua showed no trace of embarrassnt.
She twisted her stout waist, about to approach again when she heard Secretary Zhang’s words.
Wang Guihua suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“I am.”
Xiao Yifei, with an indifferent expression, walked out of the crowd and spoke lightly to Secretary Zhang: “I am Xiao Yifei.”
“Ah!
So you are Mr.
Xiao!
I’ve long looked forward to eting you!”
Secretary Zhang’s face blossod like a hundred flowers, revealing a brilliantly brilliant smile that made everyone doubt if he was the sa person who was just impatient with Wang Guihua!
“Don’t ntion this ‘long looked forward to.’ Have we t before?”
Xiao Yifei frowned slightly.
His tone was light, leaving no face for Secretary Zhang: “If you have business to handle, just hurry up.
I still have other matters to attend to!”
Despite not being given any face by Xiao Yifei, Secretary Zhang still maintained his composure, his smile even broader as he looked at Xiao Yifei—the deanor of a big shot indeed!
“Fine!
I will get down to business then!”
After standing firm, Secretary Zhang opened his briefcase and took out a docunt.
Glancing around and seeing that everyone’s eyes were essentially on him, Secretary Zhang nodded in satisfaction.
He cleared his throat.
“As I saw Luo Baoyan here today as well, it’s good.
I’m here to inform everyone about this docunt.
‘Notification on the Dismissal and Appointnt of Luo Baoyan from the role of Village Chief of Baiyang Village'”
With a faint smile on his face, Secretary Zhang nodded towards Xiao Yifei and began to read aloud.
And as Secretary Zhang read the first sentence, the place instantly fell silent!
A dead silence!
Hearing the first sentence, Luo Baoyan sighed deeply.
Having anticipated sothing unfavorable might happen, he was ntally prepared.
Thus, when the outco erged, Luo Baoyan did not react excessively, but his eyes dimd.
Standing behind Luo Baoyan, Wang Guihua was shocked still, her plump face filled with incredulity!
When the secretary finished reading the last word of the dismissal notice and looked up at Xiao Yifei, he smiled and asked, “Mr.
Xiao?”
Xiao Yifei waved his hand at the secretary with a calm expression and did not speak.
Seeing Xiao Yifei’s reaction, the secretary felt reassured.
His face blood with joy, but he then looked around and noticed the villagers still watching him and imdiately straightened his face.
“That’s it, the specific notification has been delivered, Luo Baoyan is now dismissed from his position as Village Chief of Baiyang Village.
The village’s internal affairs are temporarily handed over to the village committee to research and decide by vote.
The ti for re-electing the Village Chief will be notified separately.”
After saying these words with his head held high, the secretary jogged towards Xiao Yifei.
“Mr.
Xiao, I ca over imdiately after receiving the notification.
Director Guo said he definitely wanted to be here today, but he had to go out, so I ca on his behalf.”
The secretary’s respectful attitude towards Xiao Yifei made those nearby drop their jaws: “Director Guo also said that if Mr.
Xiao is still in Yaba Town in the next few days, he will definitely want to visit when he returns.”
After finishing his words, the secretary looked at Xiao Yifei with a smile, seemingly waiting for his response.
“Haha, thank you, Director Guo.
However, I guess I’ll be leaving after handling my affairs here, not staying for much longer.
Please tell Director Guo I appreciate his kind intentions.”
Xiao Yifei smiled faintly at the secretary.
“Sure sure sure!
I will definitely convey Mr.
Xiao’s ssage.
In the future, you are welco to visit our Yaba Town.
When you do, please let us know so we can offer our hospitality!”
The secretary looked around, noticed Luo Baoyan and Wang Guihua still standing in place, seemingly unable to recover, a spark flashed in his eyes, then he turned back to look at Xiao Yifei, finally noticing that Xiao Yifei had been pushing a wheelchair, seating an old man.
“Mr.
Xiao, this is…?”
A flash of light passed through the secretary’s eyes.
“Uncle Zhou is the father of my friend, and I ca to Baiyang Village today for them,” Xiao Yifei said with a smile to the secretary.
“So, it’s Mr.
Xiao’s friend’s father,” the secretary contemplated, then suddenly raised his head, turned around and addressed the people of Baiyang Village: “Fellow villagers, perhaps you already know who I am.
This Uncle Zhou, being a friend of Mr.
Xiao, must also be a good person, so I hope the villagers can take good care of him.”
The secretary’s words clearly implied that since Zhou ifeng’s family is related to Xiao Yifei, any villager who dares to oppose Zhou ifeng’s family is opposing Yaba Town itself!
Xiao Yifei saw the secretary’s actions, nodded slightly.
No matter his feelings about the secretary monts before, the secretary’s behavior just then was comndable.
Although Xiao Yifei was aware that after today’s events, it was unlikely that anyone would target Zhou ifeng’s family, one can never be too careful, and with the secretary’s statent there, Xiao Yifei felt even more reassured, knowing that Zhou ifeng’s family would not only be free from targeting but also not miss out on what they deserved.
“Mr.
Xiao, if there’s nothing else, I should get going.
Director Guo is not here, and there’s still a pile of work at the office,” the secretary said, slightly bowing to Xiao Yifei.
“Haha, alright, thank you,” Xiao Yifei replied with a smile, and bowed his hands to the secretary: “Safe travels.”
