Chapter 2049: Chapter 1925: You Act Just Like the Fat Person Called Out

"Don’t worry, Director. The public’s focus on this issue is medical disputes, it has nothing to do with your police department," Song Xiaodong waved his hand.

"So how did you handle this medical dispute?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"Paid them off, of course." Song Xiaodong replied.

"You! I must have misjudged you!" Qiao Yutong criticized Song Xiaodong as well.

"Those troublemakers are so rampant, you had such a fierce conflict with them, only to back down in the end? Don’t you have any backbone?" Qiao Yutong glared at Song Xiaodong with anger.

But Song Xiaodong looked at Qiao Yutong with a smile, not getting angry at all.

Qiao Yutong immediately understood: "Oh... you probably won’t just let this go, right?"

"Of course not. However they took the money, I’ll make them cough it back up!" Song Xiaodong said, revealing a fierce determination.

"Alright, alright, no need to show off. What about Director Lin?" Qiao Yutong asked Song Xiaodong.

"Director Lin is no longer the director now." Song Xiaodong thought of Lin Su’er and shrugged.

"Huh? She was dismissed?" Qiao Yutong asked in surprise, her mouth agape for a while.

Chapter 1926 No Common Language

"Not dismissed, she just didn’t want to do it anymore." Song Xiaodong answered.

"See, even Director Lin has more backbone than you! She’d rather resign than compromise." Qiao Yutong got annoyed again upon hearing this.

"Ugh, what’s the use of only having backbone? You need strategy too; you can’t always confront people head-on. What if someone really dies?" Song Xiaodong said.

"Hmph, you can’t handle them, so you’re just finding excuses for yourself." Qiao Yutong sulked, sitting back in her chair, arms crossed, and stayed silent.

"Who said I can’t handle them? I’ll show them tomorrow. Why don’t you come and watch?" Song Xiaodong said to Qiao Yutong.

"What am I watching?" Qiao Yutong turned her head and asked Song Xiaodong.

"Not telling, are you coming or not?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"Coming where?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"Lin Su’er Hospital."

"I’ll think about it, might not have the time." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

While they were chatting, Vice Mayor Han Yang arrived late, and a group of people hurriedly gathered around him.

"Let’s go, let’s welcome our tireless Vice Mayor Han for his economic efforts," Song Xiaodong motioned for Qiao Yutong to get up.

Qiao Yutong didn’t move, instead, she extended a delicate hand.

"I’m wearing high heels." Qiao Yutong said to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong understood, extended a hand and opened his palm, Qiao Yutong placed her hand on his, and Song Xiaodong helped her up, holding her hand as they walked over to Han Yang.

Vice Mayor Han looked in good spirits, beaming with a smile. Seeing Song Xiaodong supporting Qiao Yutong in high heels walking over, he pretended not to notice their closeness and said: "Oh, Mr. Song, Director Qiao, I’m really sorry, I just had a meeting and came a bit late, kept you two waiting!"

"Vice Mayor Han, we just got here as well." Song Xiaodong replied politely.

"Yes, Vice Mayor Han." Qiao Yutong agreed obediently.

"Alright, is everyone here?" Vice Mayor Han asked Secretary Xu.

Secretary Xu quickly came over and whispered in Vice Mayor Han’s ear: "Vice Mayor Han, Zhang Dongfang said he’s not coming today, just got off a plane and is too tired to attend."

The smile on Han Yang’s face remained as he listened to Secretary Xu’s whisper, then looked up and said loudly to everyone: "Alright, since everyone’s here, let’s not dilly-dally. Secretary Xu, arrange everyone’s seating!"

Secretary Xu first arranged Vice Mayor Han and Deputy Director Qiao Yutong to sit down. At this time, Wang Hongfei saw Qiao Yutong and quickly walked over, trying to sit next to her.

"Director Qiao, can I sit here?" Wang Hongfei sat down next to Qiao Yutong with a grin and moved his chair closer to her.

Qiao Yutong frowned in disgust and leaned slightly towards Vice Mayor Han.

"Hey, Boss Wang, this spot is for our Mr. Song." Secretary Xu pointed at Song Xiaodong standing aside.

Wang Hongfei looked up at Song Xiaodong and said reluctantly, "I just want to say a few things to Director Qiao, can’t I sit here?"

"Boss Wang, I’m a cop, I don’t have much in common with you big bosses, I’d like to sit next to Mr. Song here, we’re both Minghe people, lots to talk about." Qiao Yutong turned around and apologized to Wang Hongfei.

"Boss Wang, seems like Director Qiao doesn’t really want to sit with you, don’t force it," Song Xiaodong said with a smiling face to Wang Hongfei.

Wang Hongfei’s expression began to darken significantly.

Secretary Xu’s eyes quickly scanned the faces of Song Xiaodong, Qiao Yutong, Wang Hongfei, and Han Yang, then hurriedly walked over to assist Wang Hongfei and said: "Boss Wang, you’re our distinguished guest, Vice Mayor Han wants you to sit next to him to discuss the development of Minghe’s e-commerce and logistics industries."

After speaking, Secretary Xu looked over at Han Yang, who sat in the main seat, observing the situation silently.

Once Secretary Xu brought up Vice Mayor Han, Wang Hongfei naturally followed along, helped by Secretary Xu, and sat beside Vice Mayor Han, with a flattering demeanor, saying to Vice Mayor Han: "Vice Mayor Han, then I’ll just sit here?"

Han Yang quickly put on a smiling face, squinting at Wang Hongfei, and said: "Please do, Boss Wang, Minghe’s logistics sector development still depends on you!"
