Sun Yalin walked over with her mobile phone and said to Liu Weiguo, "Are you the person in charge of the Public Security Bureau? Director Gao from the Foreign Affairs Office of Donghua City wants to talk to you."

  "Let me say it."

  The head of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Municipal Government is concurrently held by Deputy Mayor Liang, and among several deputy directors, only one with the surname Gao is concurrently held by Vice Secretary-General Gao Zhi-chang; Shen Huai didn't want this trivial matter to disturb everyone's rest in the middle of the night, and reached out to take the mobile phone from Sun Ya-lin's hand.

  Sun Ya Lin looked at Shen Huai with distrust for a while; Shen Huai used force, and she reluctantly let go.

  Shen Huai had just cleared his throat when the phone rang with a thunderous scolding voice:

  "How do you manage public security in your city? Are you aware that Ms. Sun is a French guest invited by Mayor Gao to invest in Donghua? If something goes wrong, can your city bureau take responsibility? What's the phone number of the Foreign Affairs Section of your city bureau?"

  "...Shen Huai put the phone back to his ear, listening to the voice on the other end getting smaller, before speaking again, "Secretary Gao, it's Shen Huai..."

  "Shen Hui?" The person on the other end of the phone also hesitated for a while before speaking in a drawling tone, "Ah, it's Secretary Shen. Didn't you go to work in Meixi Town? How come you're also at the scene?"

  "It just so happened that I came to the city to have some fun, and there were a few hoodlums harassing Miss Sun. Luckily, I reported it in time. The municipal bureau's comrades arrived promptly and arrested all four hoodlums. Miss Sun was very satisfied with this and even wanted to present a banner of praise to the municipal bureau's comrades."

  Shen Hua saw Sun Ya Lin's angry stare, but pretended not to see it. He continued to chat nonsense with Gao Zhi on the phone: "Okay, okay, it's no big deal, there's no need to report this to Mayor Gao or Mayor Liang. Okay, okay, once this is handled, I'll have the municipal bureau comrades brief you."

  Before Sun Ya Lin could say anything, Sun Shen directly hung up the phone.

  "How much did you pay?"

  Sun Yalin didn't think Shen Hua would really send someone to harass them, but she also didn't expect Shen Hua to take the initiative to avenge them. In her impression, Shen Hua must be happy to see things get worse.

  "My friend reported the precision, you don't believe can ask the Municipal Bureau's report center, is it received this phone call report?" Shen Huai flipped out Yang Haipeng's phone number from his mobile phone and showed it to Sun Yalin.

  Sun Ya Lin was skeptical of Shen Hui's words, or rather, she didn't believe him at all, but just didn't want to confront him directly.

  Shen Huai said, "The comrades at the municipal bureau have already taken those hoodlums into custody. Once they're at the municipal bureau, whatever needs to be done will be done. I think it's best not to drag in outsiders for no reason. And while you're in China, try to keep a low profile. I'm sure your third uncle probably doesn't like it when you always flaunt your noble identity as an overseas Chinese..."

  Sun Ya Lin glared at Shen Huai and turned her head away in annoyance.

  "Does the Evergreen Group have an investment project in Donghua? How come I didn't know anything about it before?" Shen Hua asked again, "The Evergreen Group has an investment project in Donghua, why would they let you take charge of it?"

  Gao Zhi didn't say on the phone, but Sun Yalin could directly order around the officials in charge of external affairs, making Shen Hua suspect that Changqing Group might have an investment project in Donghua.

  Sun Ya Lin ignored Shen Huan.

  To put a few little rascals in jail for a few days, the necessary procedures cannot be lacking. Shen Hua squeezed onto the train with Sun Ya Lin and her French companion.

  Sun Yalin's French companion, Sophia, had a mediocre level of Mandarin. She always spoke to Sun Yalin in French. After getting on the car, Sun Yalin suddenly said to Sophia in English: "Speak in English, this moron can't understand English..."

  "Look at how handsome he is, there shouldn't be no girls who like him, how could he be so desperate to have an impulse towards you and even steal your underwear?"

  "He's just a beast, when he first arrived in France, he was still so young and naive, didn't dare to go out and flirt with girls, only peeked at me while I was bathing, and even stole my underwear... thinking about it now makes me sick..."

  "Why don't you report him or catch him and give him a beating?"

  "It's really too embarrassing, whether it's reporting him or catching him and beating him up, people will know about it; can only pretend that nothing happened. Now I have to carefully check the doors and windows every time I take a bath."

  Shen Hua closed his eyes to meditate, previously he didn't understand English, but after merging the memories of two people, his English was even better than French; however, at this moment, he'd rather not understand their conversation.

  Shen Hua "flipped through" the scene before he went to France. At that time, Shen Hua's grandfather Shen Shan and his grandmother lived with his second uncle. When Shen Hua first arrived in France, he naturally stayed with them.

  At that time, Shen Hua was young and ignorant, full of curiosity about women. He had secretly watched Sun Ya Lin take a bath, but previously Shen Hua didn't know at all that his secret peeping had been discovered by Sun Ya Lin long ago. But thinking about it, the Sun family probably also feared exposing their family's shame, and this French girl named Sophia still didn't know about his drunken incident.

  "Really? I think if you still like men, he should be your type?" The French girl whispered to Sun Yalin with a giggle.

  Shen Huai was shocked: Eldest sister Sun Ya Lin likes women? I remember she had a boyfriend before, how did she start liking women now? The French girl in front of her who is always by her side, is she her girlfriend, not just a work partner?

  France is open to same-sex love, but the Sun family in France is a conservative and stubborn Chinese family. This news is really surprising. Shen Huai sat with his arms around his chest, narrowing his eyes at the French girl, delicate features, beautiful face, secretly feeling that these two girls are together, damn it's a waste of heaven!

  Sun Yalin thought no one could understand English, so she and her female companion were chatting seriously, but the content of their conversation was overheard by Shen Hua sitting on the side, who learned many secrets he had never known before.

  After arriving at the municipal office, as usual, even overseas Chinese also had to make a written record.

  Sun Yalin and her assistant Sofia came to Donghua, indeed for official business, but Shen Hua couldn't pry their mouths open with a knife. However, Sun Yalin stayed in Donghua for official business, bringing an assistant who didn't speak much Chinese, and even went to the disco at night to have fun, which all proved that her relationship with this female assistant was not ordinary.

  Shen Huai, as a witness, also made a record. Min Jing, who was on duty at the Municipal Bureau's Public Security Section, recognized two familiar faces among them, both of whom were part of Song Sanhe's team that went to Meixi Town back then.

  Although Song Sanhe gave the green light and cleared out the elite team, there were twenty city bureau personnel who participated in that matter that day. The vast majority of them had been disciplined and returned to their original posts. Shen Huai thought that Liu Weiguo, who was unwilling to go with the flow, would not have a good time during his days at the city bureau.

  As Shen Hua was halfway through writing the record, he saw Xiong Wenbin accompanying Kan Xuetao sneaking around outside the door of the interrogation room.

  Shen Huai was quite surprised, but subconsciously thought that Sun Yalin's representative of Changqing Group and Donghua City's investment project was not simple, but didn't know how Xiong Wenbin knew the news so quickly.

  As Shen Hua watched Sun Ya Lin in the interrogation room explaining the dispute to the recorder, he gestured to Xiong Wenbin and Kan Xuetao, who were about to enter the office, to talk outside first.

  Xiong Wenbin and Kan Xuetao stopped, not rushing to come in. Sun Yalin looked at the Jingcha inside who suddenly stood up, turned her head to look at the door and saw nothing unusual, thinking that these Jingcha were having a nervous breakdown.

  Shen Huai walked outside and asked Xiong Wenbin: "It's almost past ten o'clock, why did Old Bear bring Director Quan over?"

  "Gao Zhi called Director Kan just now, and I happened to be having tea with Director Kan..." said Xiong Wenbin.

  Everyone has their own circle, and although Quan Xuetao can see that Shen Hui is highly valued and trusted by Tan Qiping, Shen Hui is ultimately too young. Sometimes age is an obstacle, and it's people like Xiong Wenbin, who are similar in status, position, and age, who are closer to Quan Xuetao.

  "I was saying, what's the big deal that would even blow Lao Xiong over here?" Shen Huai laughed and asked again, "By the way, Lao Xiong, since you're taking it so seriously, is Changqing Group really making some huge investment in Donghua?"

  Changqing Group's investment project, it was obvious that the people from Mayor Gao Tianhe's faction were in charge of liaison before, but Xiong Wenbin rushed over at this time, with the intention being very clear: to intercept!

  It can only be said that Gao Zhichang was not careful enough, he blocked Shen Hua for a moment, thinking that the matter was not serious, and also had some concerns, so he called Quan Xuetao, hoping that Quan Xuetao could pay attention to it, but unexpectedly gave Xiong Wenbin an opportunity to sneak in.

  Today's incident, if you look at it from a minor perspective, isn't really a big deal. A few hoodlums in the disco hall caused some trouble, but nothing too serious happened, and handling it according to the public security regulations is enough. Shen Hua was also afraid that Liu Weiguo, as a grassroots police officer, would be caught in the middle and have a hard time, so he took the initiative to help block Gao Zhi's way.

  This matter, if viewed from a larger perspective, is due to the poor investment environment in Donghua City. However, it can't be said that way, as it would shift the blame onto the Municipal Public Security Bureau, which is not what Tan Qiping wants to see either. It's still necessary for the municipal party committee and government to send someone out to placate the representatives of the investors.

  Shen Hua, this should be the main reason why Xiong Wenbin rushed over. Next, the municipal party committee will also have a direct excuse to care about this investment project.

  Even if he can't bring all of Changqing Group's investment projects over, Tan Qiping will still be able to get a share of the political achievements if he has the opportunity to intervene - it seems that Tan Qiping has not made any moves since taking office at Donghua for over a month, but in private he is secretly accumulating his strength.

  "Oh, you also know about the Evergreen Group?" Xiong Wenbin saw Shen Huai suddenly ask a key question and was somewhat surprised, asking, "Or have you talked to Miss Sun, the representative of the Evergreen Group?"

  Shen Huai smiled wryly, things had suddenly developed to this point, some relationships he couldn't hide from Xiong Wenbin and others, some things still needed to be actively explained to Tan Qiping.

  Kuang Xuetao is not an outsider either. Shen Huai rubbed his nose: "The founder of Changqing Group, Lao Xiong probably knows that it was Sun Yaoting who escaped from Donghua before liberation. However, what Lao Xiong doesn't know is that Sun Yaoting is actually my great-grandfather. The representative of the Changqing Group sitting inside is actually my distant cousin. This Tan Secretary should know, but may not have thought of it for a while..."

  "Oh, really? That's right, you used to study in France, how come I didn't think of that?" Xiong Wenbin scratched his head with joy, but then thought again and felt suspicious. "Shen Huai, is your household registration domestic?"

  "If I had entered French nationality, the organization would not have accepted me," Shen Hui smiled and said. "My grandparents and mother stayed in the country after liberation, and they were the only relatives of the Sun family who remained in the country. My mother died early, and my grandparents went abroad after the reform. I went abroad to study a few years later, but my roots are still in the country."

  "Xiao Shen is a relative of the Changqing Group's representative, which is perfect," said Kan Xuetao. "Secretary Tan doesn't need to do anything, just directly name Xiao Shen to participate in project negotiations, and Mayor Gao's side won't have any reason to object..."

  Shen Huai guessed that Yan Xuetao and Xiong Wenbin were rushing over to intervene in the Changqing Group's investment project.

  Shen Huai rubbed his nose and said awkwardly: "I have a bit of an uncomfortable relationship with my cousin..."

  Shen Huai said this, and Xiong Wenbin didn't find it strange: the representative of Changqing Group had come to Donghua many times before, and Shen Huai only met him by chance today. He knew that there was no connection between these two cousins, so how good could their relationship be?
