Chapter 244: Impartiality and Integrity

if you have any requests, our Bai family will do our best to fulfill them!"Bai Zhantang stood up and bowed to Chen Ping.Chen Ping became increasingly confused, his eyes fixed on Bai Zhantang, his bro..."Don't worry about Mistress Ling!"

Su Wenzong smiled slightly, then sat down on the sofa beside Chen Ping.

Chen Ping looked around the room. The furniture was quite old and not worth much at all. It didn't seem like the home of a city leader at all. And Wang Hui, as the mayor's wife, was so kind and approachable. Chen Ping couldn't understand how such a mother could have raised someone like Ling Feng.

Su Wenzong and Chen Ping sat for a short while, when the door of the study was opened, and four people poured out!

One of them, a man in his forties with spectacles, looked refined and scholarly. This was Ling Zhenchuan. Though he dressed simply, there was an aura of authority about him!

And the other three people, should be Hong Kong businessmen, one of whom was thin and had a goatee, with piercing eyes. Chen Ping even felt a hint of spiritual fluctuation from this Hong Kong businessman!

"Could this guy be a cultivator too"

Chen Ping couldn't help but glance at him several times!

"Mayor Ling, I hope you'll give this serious consideration. Our investment is sure to boost Hongcheng's economic development. As long as you allocate the southern part of the city to us, we can rebuild a new city within three years!"

"That's what the goat-whispering merchant from Hong Kong said."

"I'm sorry, I can't betray my descendants for money. I won't harm the interests of every citizen either. To achieve political achievements, one needs more than just money; it also requires the support of the general public. This is out of the question. Farewell!"

Ling Zhenchuan's face was cold, and he said sternly!

It can be seen that Ling Zhenchuan didn't have a very pleasant conversation with the few Hong Kong businessmen.

"Since Mayor Ling is so insistent, there's nothing more to discuss. Goodbye!"

The bearded Hong Kong businessman extended his hand toward Ling Zhenchuan.

Although the conversation was unpleasant, at least there was still basic etiquette. Ling Zhengan shook hands with the Hong Kong businessman.

At the very instant their palms touched, a wisp of faint black mist surged directly into Ling Zhenchuan's body through his hand. However, Ling Zhenchuan remained oblivious!

But Chen Ping saw this scene with his own eyes. Chen Ping frowned and stared intently at the goat-bearded Hong Kong businessman!

The Hong Kong businessman also seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and glanced at Chen Ping, but after just a brief look, he turned his head back.

After the three Hong Kong businessmen left, Ling Zhengan sat down on the sofa angrily, taking a sip of tea that Wang Hui had handed him. His face was grim!

"Lao Ling, Lao Su are waiting for you!"

Wang Hui reminded Ling Zhenchuan!

Ling Zhenchuan only then remembered, and hurriedly called to Su Wenzong: "Old Su, come sit over here, I was just about to be driven mad by anger, and forgot you for a moment!"

Ling Zhenchuan got up and followed Su Wenzong with an apologetic face.

"Mayor Ling, you're too kind. For Hongcheng, you work day and night, I feel a bit embarrassed to bother you."

Su Wenzong walked over, Chen Ping followed behind!

“Lao Su, Hongcheng has developed to what it is today thanks in no small part to your contributions. Even with three heads and six arms, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this without your support!” Ling Zhenchuan chuckled. “Your family’s land in Xicheng, Xiaofeng told me about it. I’ve already sent people to start the approval process. As long as it’s legal and compliant, just come find me directly. There’s no need to have Xiaofeng pass messages.”

"Besides, Lao Guo called me just now, saying you were coming to apologize. What's going on"

"Su Wenzong hurriedly explained, "Mayor Ling, yesterday at my house, Xiao Feng and Chen Ping had a small misunderstanding, and as a result, the two got into a conflict. Chen Ping acted impulsively and hit Xiao Feng, so I brought him here today to apologize to Mayor Ling!"

Ling Zhenchuan glanced at Chen Ping and smiled faintly: "Young man, it's normal to have a bit of temper. You got punched, so what You're using this to alarm the ancients I thought you had done something illegal! If that were the case, no one’s phone call would work!"ompared to Mr. Chen, it's nothing...""Strive diligently, on the path of martial cultivation, there is no shortcut. Do not be too hasty, lest you go astray..."Chen Ping is not a warrior, so his cultiva...
