Chapter 6 Got Slapped in the Face

  However, the Commerce Department attaches great importance to this first foreign investment. Chen Zhaonian personally instructed that he must follow up on this project closely.

  Xuan Taoming forced a bitter smile, can't always follow someone's butt around, right? Isn't that asking for trouble? He also figured it out, Tang Zong is very dissatisfied with this place. If he didn't think Xuan Taoming was trustworthy, he would have turned and left without saying another word.

  The place is really bad!

  Nothing to do for the time being, Xuan Taoming started searching for projects again. For him, a year's time is too tight, and he must seize every opportunity to gain power and wealth, push down the goddess, and truly have no more time to play.

  However, there are not many projects online, and situations like Tang's are rare. That is because they have no connections at all, a group of brothers starting from scratch. Those who start their own businesses normally know some bosses or similar, just introduce them casually, and they will have connections immediately.

  Since there is no project and it's impossible to stay here doing nothing, going out to investigate other offices' situations isn't a bad idea either.

  The geographical location of the six business offices is actually relatively remote, and the truly good street office areas are directly managed by the business bureau, but they are reluctant to give up these unattractive places, so they set up six business offices, which exist as a compromise.

  Outside Yong'an Township, while waiting for the bus at the intersection, I saw a woman wearing a helmet bowed her head to repair the motorcycle. She was petite but had a curvy figure, plump and full, unfortunately, her face was covered with a helmet and couldn't be seen clearly, so I didn't know what she looked like.

  Xuan Taoming opened his eyes to see her fumbling around for half a day without finding the cause, and couldn't help but walk over and point out: "Check the spark plug."

  "Ah!" A sudden voice came from behind, startling the woman. She turned her head and looked around suspiciously on the motorcycle, searching for the spark plug location.

  Xuan Taoming's mouth twitched: "You've never ridden a motorcycle before, have you?"

  "Who says I've never ridden one, I ride every day!" The woman hummed, but Xuan Taoming looked at her for half a day and couldn't find the position of the spark plug, secretly amused, what kind of spoiled girl is this?

  "You're not allowed to look, turn around and find it immediately!" The proud woman scolded, her face under the helmet slightly flushed.

  Xuan Taoming is hilarious, you're welcome, let's see when you can find it, I'll come and time you.

  On such a hot day, standing on the highway to repair motorcycles, isn't it enough to make people die of heat? The proud and beautiful woman fiddled for over ten minutes, her clothes were all sweaty, outlining her perfect figure even more vividly. Xuan Tai couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he gazed at her, this woman's figure was truly unmatched.

  The arrogant woman was annoyed, and with a huff, she kicked the motorcycle with one foot. Unexpectedly, the exhaust pipe on that side was extremely hot, and wearing sandals to kick it, are you dissatisfied with your own feet being too conspicuous?

  "Whoa!" The proud woman sucked in a breath, standing on one leg, and saw that the back of her right foot had been scalded with a small piece of skin broken, with faint blood seeping out.

  Xuan Taoming can't watch the show anymore, took two steps forward: "Are you okay?"

  "It's none of your business, just stand aside and don't intervene!"

  Xuan Taoming detected a hint of resentment in his tone, which was both amusing and infuriating. "You didn't want me to interfere before, now you're resenting me!"

  "You sit by the side of the road, I'll fix your car first and then take you to the hospital." Xuan Taoming opened the spark plug, took a look, and it was okay, not burnt out, just clogged from long-term lack of cleaning, and could be fixed with a wipe of paper.

  "Alright, get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital," Xuan Taoming said. She thought to herself, how could she possibly hop to the hospital on one foot?

  "Don't bother about me, I'll go myself!" The proud girl hummed, hopping on one foot while leaning against the motorcycle.

  Xuan Taoming smiled and didn't say a word, got on the motorcycle with a calm expression, patted the back seat, and the proud girl hesitated for a moment before humming and sitting down.

  He got on the motorcycle, and Xuan Taoming only discovered that this motorcycle seemed to be quite good. The brand was one that Xuan Taoming had never seen before, but it was absolutely not a fake brand. The feel of starting up in an instant could be felt, extremely sensitive, and during the journey, it was very stable. The sound of the engine was exceptionally quiet.

  "This car of yours is pretty good, where did you buy it? I'll go get one too." Xuan Taoming thought the car was really nice to drive.

  The proud girl hummed: "Can you afford it... can you buy it? I picked this up."

  Xuan Taoming didn't suspect that there was another person, and he said with a mouthful of food, "The luck is not bad, this car is really good, it's a bit like a knockoff, but the quality is top-notch."

  "Hmph!" The arrogant girl always hummed, and this time she spoke up again. "Don't think I'll thank you, I didn't ask for your help, it's you who wanted to interfere in other people's business."

  "Alright, alright! You didn't ask me to, it's just that I wanted to be the hero who saves the beauty, and now it's done." Xuan Tai Ming knew this woman was proud and arrogant, but he wasn't angry at all, instead he found it amusing, like a child.

  "You're pretty much a bear, after all." The proud girl hummed.

  "Yes, a bear riding a motorcycle." Xuan Taoming chuckled.

  "Haha... um" The proud girl let out a giggle, then quickly covered her mouth. Her two big eyes curiously sized up Xuan Tai Ming's back through the helmet.

  They soon arrived at the hospital, and after a simple disinfection and bandaging by the doctor, everything was fine. It's strange to say that the arrogant girl refused to take off her helmet and kept glancing sideways in the hospital.

  She was sent home by bike and dropped off at the downstairs of her residential building, where she insisted that he not see her all the way to the door, saying that someone from her family would come down to pick her up soon.

  "That's it, let's go." Xuan Taoming waved his hand and hurried off to investigate.

  Looking at Xuan Taoming's back, the proud girl hesitated for a moment, her lips moving: "What's your name? Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking."

  Xuan Taoming smiled and said: "Xuan Taoming! Let's go, oh, by the way, it's not your fault that you're ugly, don't always wear a helmet."

  "Hey!" The proud and beautiful girl was furious, but Xuan Tai Ming had already laughed and run far away.

  "Xiao Xie, what brings you to Aunt's place?" A middle-aged woman hastily came downstairs, speaking in a flattering tone.

  "Oh, never mind, I'm leaving." Xiao Xie said lightly, got on his motorcycle and zoomed off, leaving behind his aunt who stomped her foot in regret.

  After running for an afternoon, the remaining five commercial offices have all been seen, and they are indeed very miserable, all of which are small workshops. The largest one is a slightly polluted but barely allowed leather factory with an investment of 40-50 million. Only such projects can be remembered by these offices, it's really bleak.

  Back at the office, Xuan Taoming stared blankly at Chen Chaonian's gloomy face, somewhat bewildered.

  "What's wrong with you, Director?"

  Chen Chao looked at his trusted subordinate, his face slightly better but still iron-green, gritting his teeth and saying "Too much!"

  "What's going on?" Xuan Taoming had a bad premonition.

  Chen Chao let out a heavy sigh "Isn't it because of Ben Ma Electronics Factory? It's all over."

  "What? It's just one o'clock in the afternoon, how can it be over?" Xuan Taoming asked hastily.

  "Tang Liang just called and said that he has signed a letter of intent for cooperation with the Municipal Bureau." Chen Chaoyan said weakly, and then returned to his usual dull tone.

  "What? How could this be?! I'll make a call to ask!" Xuan Taoming was furious. Nima, they were just talking nicely in the morning, and by afternoon they had already fallen into the arms of the Municipal Bureau. This is a blatant slap in the face!

  Chen Chaonian waved his hand: "Tang Liang said that if you knew, don't call him, he said sorry to you, and owes you a favor, so the notification was sent directly to me this time. Sorry to bother you, but the conditions given by the Municipal Bureau this time are really good, can't blame Tang Liang."

  Xuan Taoming was silent for a moment: "What conditions did the Municipal Bureau give?" Tang Liang's favor, Xuan Taoming didn't care much about it. He also didn't blame Tang Liang for anything. As a businessman, seeking profit is his nature.

  "They chose a better section of the road that they were in charge of, and it's also closer. Chen Chaonian said weakly: 'This is the municipal bureau being embarrassed by us, trying to save face, willing to sacrifice a good area just to argue.'"

  Xuan Taoming's face turned gloomy, and he sat on the sofa staring at the floor for a full three minutes before taking a deep breath: "I won't swallow this!"

  "Alright, Xiaoxuan, let's just forget it. The municipal bureau is our superior and their area of responsibility is much better than ours. Their policies are also very flexible, we can't compete with them. This time, being able to persuade the investors to come over for an inspection is already a big step forward."

  Xuan Taoming pulled his ears and listened for a moment, then spoke firmly: "They want face, but I don't? This is slapping Xuan's face!"

  "Xiao Yi, is there any way to regain our dignity?" Xuan Taoming asked his navigation system with a scowl.

  "Master, since they're ruthless in snatching your project, you can also go snatch theirs. Even if you can't get it, annoying them once is enough!" Can't help but say, Xiao Yi has brought out her evil side to a certain extent, infinitely close to Xuan Taoming's way of thinking.

  Xuan Taoming's expression was gloomy: "You really are following my train of thought, I also mean it, not expecting to grab it over, but being disgusting is also necessary to disgust them to death. Not just this 10 billion big project, the rest of the projects I will also go through even if nothing happens, disgust them to death!"

  "Director, since the people from the Commerce Bureau have no shame and are competing with us for the project, it's not a problem for us to compete with them either." Xuan Tai Ming's eyes gleamed as he spoke to Xuan Tai Ming.

  Chen Zhao Nian was startled: "Xiao Xuan, don't be reckless. After all, the ones competing with us are from the Municipal Bureau's Business Department. If you sabotage their project, they'll have reason to go after the municipal leaders, and it will be hard to clean up the mess."

  "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I just rushed! And currently there is a heavyweight project that they seem to attach great importance to, an OEM factory with an investment of 1 billion!" Xuan Taoming originally didn't dare to pay attention to it at all, but this time his face was slapped too hard, Xuan Taoming had to go and join in the fun!

  "Ah! You dare to intervene in this project?" Chen Chaonian's mouth opened wide, thinking that the newcomer was quite bold. "Xiaoxuan, let's forget about this project for now, it's not just the Commerce Bureau keeping an eye on us, they are also watching." Chen Chaonian carefully pointed upwards.

  "City Committee and City Government?" Xuan Taoming was slightly surprised, this project is very important to everyone, but after thinking about it again, he felt relieved. This is a well-known enterprise in the country, one of the world's top 500 or even top 200 companies, being able to settle in Dongshan has great significance.

  "What's wrong with you!" Chen Chaonian's face twitched "Even the provincial capital is staring at us, now two groups of people are fighting fiercely, just to see who will last until the end. You say you go to do what? Even cannon fodder would be too good for you."

  Xuan Taoming took a deep breath and couldn't believe there was such a big fight behind his back.

  But even if it's just a stir, going to disgust the Municipal Bureau of Commerce is okay! You numbness, you slap in the face and feel good, I have nowhere to vent my anger!

  Xuan Taoming is a person with exceptional hands-on skills and arrived in the central city district early next morning.
