Chapter 112: The Officials from the Capital

  The Wei army also has a relationship with the district health bureau and is a deputy director of the district health bureau. Originally, handling a small matter like a clinic license should be easy for someone like Wei Jun who is a rich second generation, and he also has a relationship with a deputy director, so it should be very easy to handle a small matter like a clinic license.

  But unexpectedly, things went against their wishes. At the last pass, when the director was about to stamp his seal, he was blocked by a new director from Beijing, who said that it didn't conform to regulations and refused to stamp his approval.

  It wasn't until later that Wei Jun's army realized that the deputy director they had found was not on the same side as this director. He saw that the director was young and had been severely dealt with twice at the meeting, unable to get off the stage. Therefore, the license handled by Wei Jun's army was stuck there and couldn't be passed no matter what.

  When there was really no way, Wei Jun suddenly thought of his childhood friend in the municipal bureau and gave him a call. Others didn't know that this new bureau chief had a big background, but Chen Qing knew that his father had already told him that this newcomer had a powerful connection in the capital city.

  After receiving the call from Wei's army, Chen Qing did not respond with such certainty, but only said to invite the director to come out and have a meal, it is clear that the new director also knew Chen Qing's details and readily agreed. Unexpectedly, before going downstairs, the director answered a phone call and said he couldn't come.

  Chen Qing was also helpless in such a situation, and Xiao Ye and Wei Jun were also somewhat helpless.

  The speed of the dishes at Wanxiang Building is not bad, and you won't have to wait for half a day for another dish to come up after one has been served. By the time Xiao Yu and the others finished talking, all the dishes had already been served.

  Xiao Yu and the others didn't drink much, but they were all very elegant. The three of them clinked glasses and chatted, no one mentioning the matter of handling the clinic's license. They just drank and talked, and with Xiao Yu's current capacity, even Chen Qing, a veteran of many drinking tests, was already showing signs of intoxication.

  "You guys wait for a moment, I'll go to the restroom and we'll continue drinking when I get back!" Chen Qing walked towards the restroom with a slightly drunken swagger.

  Chen Qing hurried back and said to Wei Jun: "Junzi, what about the procedures for the clinic? Just now when I went to the bathroom, I happened to meet that director. He might think today's affairs are a bit unjust, so he asked me to give him the procedures. He'll stamp them tomorrow and let us pick them up the day after tomorrow!"

  "What's not proper! He was giving face to Brother Chen! What about coming from the capital, Uncle is also very influential in the Health Department, would he dare not give this little bit of face?" Wei Jun heard Chen Qing's words and took out the documents from his bag, handing them over to Chen Qing.

  "Haha, everyone is giving each other face!" Chen Qing said with a pleased smile.

  Chen Qing's mood was not good at this time. Originally, Wei Jun asked him to help with something, and Chen Qing agreed without hesitation, thinking it wasn't a big deal. But in the end, no one even showed up, making Chen Qing feel extremely humiliated. As someone who grew up in the deep sea due to his father's influence, he was also a number one spoiled rich kid, and what he valued most was face. Now that his face had been trampled on, although he didn't say anything out loud, in his heart, he already hated that director to death.

  Although you have a powerful background in the capital, this is the deep sea, I may not be able to take care of you myself, but it's no problem to give you some trouble and make things difficult for you.

  Chen Qing, who had already made up his mind to cause trouble for the other party, had a change of heart after going to the restroom.

  It seems that the other party is not intentionally avoiding me, but rather has some urgent matter.

  Chen Qing took the materials from the Wei army and came to the other party's box 301. Chen Qing knocked on the door and walked in, with five or six young people sitting inside, while the director with a big background was only at the end of the seat as a guest.

  "Director Li, here is the material!" Chen Qing entered the room and handed over the material to the young director.

  This young director, surnamed Li, named Hanbo, is the second son of the Deputy Minister of Health. He came down this time to hang out and get rich. Li Hanbo took over the materials handed over by Chen Qing and put them on the table, saying: "Chen Ke, let them go to my place tomorrow afternoon to pick it up!"

  While talking to Li Hanbo, Chen Qing observed the few people sitting in the room. The main seat was occupied by a young man in his thirties with an arrogant expression, and the rest of them also had proud faces, not even looking at Chen Qing, and continued their conversation.

  Looking at their faces, Chen Qing wouldn't bother with this uninteresting matter. He simply handed the materials to the young director and said he'd invite him for a drink later before taking his leave.

  Out of the 301 private room, Chen Qing was still secretly thinking about the identities of those people. What kind of people were they? Could it be that they were also big shots from Beijing, making Li Hanbo, who had a great background in Beijing, sit at the end seat?

  Chen Qing returned to the 318 private room with a puzzled expression on her face.

  On the other side, in compartment 301, Chen Qing had just left when a young man of twenty-five or six sitting next to him said: "Li La'Er, you're getting more and more out of touch with reality. You're actually being so polite to a minor department head?"

  "Third Brother, you're not unaware that in a mixed system, it's all about being thorough. I can ignore this kid, but his father is someone in the Health Department, so even if he can't do much to me, he can still cause some small trouble. It's nothing major, just giving his father some face!" Li Hanbo heard the man's words and shook his head with a helpless expression.

  After hearing Li Hanbo's words, this person didn't say anything either. These people don't mix with the system, but that doesn't mean they don't understand. They do understand and their understanding is even more profound than ordinary people. As for those sitting there, isn't it a family of officials who mix with the system?

  "Come, come, let's not mention that. Today several brothers from the capital city have arrived here, this is a recognition of me Li Er, I'll toast to several brothers!" Li Hanbo picked up his wine cup and stood up, saying to the others.

  Among these people, there were two who were obviously younger than Li Hanbo, but Li Hanbo called them "older brother" without any embarrassment. This can't help but say that their circle is actually the same as the officialdom, where age is not divided. In this circle of officials, there is also a strict division, whoever's father, grandfather, or great-grandfather has the highest official position is the oldest. The family members of these few people were obviously more powerful than Li Hanbo's father, so Li Hanbo did not hesitate to call them "older brother".

  They were all elderly people from the same faction, so they came to Beijing to support Li Hanbo. At this time, Li Hanbo toasted and several people naturally gave Li Hanbo face, stood up and drank a glass of wine in one gulp. Only the young man in his thirties sitting in the main seat did not stand up, and he only symbolically took a sip of wine. However, none of the seated people said anything.

  Li Hanbo saw that the man also raised his wine glass and took a sip, feeling a bit more at ease, with a smile on his face.

  A person sitting next to Li Hanbo accidentally knocked over a teacup when he sat down, spilling all the water in the cup onto the file bag Chen Qing had brought.

  Li Hanbo saw it, but didn't care, and continued to chat with the crowd. The young man who spilled the tea water saw that Li Hanbo didn't say anything, so he knew that this thing was dispensable, doing things for them and giving them face, if not, they couldn't do anything about it.

  The young man saw Li Hanbo's appearance and said with a turn of his eyes: "Li Lao Er, I just love using various materials to roll cigarettes, what do you say?"

  "What to do, you say what to do, take it back and I'll let them send another copy!" Li Hanbo shook off the water from Chen Qing's materials and handed them over to the young man.

  "Hou San, what's wrong with you? You used to do the same thing at your grandfather's place, using the paper sent by the locals to roll cigarettes! Your grandfather beat you and you still haven't changed!" The man sitting in the main seat said calmly.

  "Big brother, you don't know, this habit of mine was actually beaten out by my grandfather. Every time he beat me, I would take his stuff to smoke and annoy him, never thought it would become a habit in the end!" said Hou San with a mischievous grin.

  "Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

  Everyone in the house burst out laughing at Hou San's words.

  Hou San pulled out a piece of paper from the file bag, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter to light it, but was suddenly snatched away by the person sitting in the main seat! The person in the main seat took the material paper and looked at it. The paper was a personal resume with a photo attached. The person's face, which had been full of arrogance, was now gone. He looked at Hou San with a serious expression.

  Hou San saw the data paper in his hand being snatched away by the young man on the main seat, but he didn't mind at all. Instead, he pulled out another one and smiled: "Big brother, when did you also develop this hobby?"

  The man in charge didn't say a word, but instead snatched the materials out of his hand once again, and slapped him on the back of the head with a scowl.

  It was only then that the people in the house noticed the young man with a gloomy face, and they looked at each other in dismay. What's wrong now? He was fine just a moment ago!

  "Li Lao Er, where is the person who entrusted you with this matter now?" The young man on the main seat asked Li Hanbo with a sullen face while holding that material.

  It was then that the people in the house realized that the problem lay with this material.

  If Xiao Yu were here, he would have discovered that the young man sitting in the main seat was none other than Zhong Lao's grandson, Zhong Tao.

  "Brother Zhong, that...that...they're in the 318 private room!" Li Hanbo said hesitantly, looking at Zhong Tao's gloomy face without knowing what was going on.

  Zhong Tao heard them in the 318 private room, took a bottle of wine from the table and walked out. The others saw Zhong Tao walking outside and followed him. When Zhong Tao saw them following, he thought for a moment and didn't object, but instead said to the few people: "Be honest later, don't take out our set!"

  Li Hanbo and Hou San, who were following behind, couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. What kind of person was this?! Worth being treated like this by Zhong Lao Da? It's not like they didn't know that Zhong Tao's grandfather used to be one of the nine elders, and even though he had retired, the Discipline Inspection Committee was still controlled by people from the Zhong Lao faction.
