Chapter 108: Another Earth-Shattering Episode 2 Seeking Flowers

  Another explosion! (2 more seeking flowers)

  In the third floor of the municipal government office building, room 301, Mayor Zhao Guanghua was busy sorting through a batch of documents. Suddenly, the door opened and his chief secretary Zhang De rushed in hastily.

  At this, Zhao Guanghua's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but he didn't express any opinion.

  But Mayor Zhang De's first secretary, Zhang De, was shaken in his heart, because the mayor's slight frown earlier had already told him that as a major secretary to the mayor, he must remain calm and composed at all times.

  But our secretary was completely unable to calm down at this time.

  "What's wrong? Speak." Zhao Guanghua's tone was somewhat unpleasant, which clearly showed that he was dissatisfied with his earlier performance.

  "Boss, something's happening in Ghost Gate City."

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Guanghua immediately stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Zhang De with a calm expression. "Specifically, speak clearly."

  Zhang De took a deep breath, clearly still trying to catch his breath from rushing over. "Boss, Wu Da Shi and Yan Da Dui entered about half an hour ago, along with Guo Lao. Now, Yan Da Dui has appeared in the first floor hall, but she's holding a glowing knife in her hand, and there's a glowing beauty mark on her forehead. Wu Da Shi and Guo Lao haven't come down yet, they should still be on the second floor."

  Quietly listening to this speech, Zhao Guanghua nodded slightly after a moment of silence. "The big knife that Xiao Yan has on his hand should be a magic weapon. As for the beauty mole between her eyebrows, it was left by Wu Dashi after reversing her fate and changing her destiny. It is said that it can ward off all evil."

  "Wu Dashi and Guo Lao are both cultivators, so it's not unusual for them to be on the second floor. Although Xiao Yan has a strong sense of justice, he is different from cultivators after all. If he rashly stays on the second floor, he might drag Wu Dashi and the others down."

  After Zhao Guanghua finished speaking, Zhang De cautiously opened his mouth again, "Boss, now there are nearly six or seven hundred people surrounding the Ghost Gate Market, and the North Bank Road is completely blocked. The traffic police can't clear the road at all."

  Zhao Guanghua didn't say a word, he just nodded slightly. After a long while, his voice came faintly, "Surround them, the more people surrounding them the better. I believe in Master Wu, as long as he solves the problem of Gui Men City, we don't need to publicize it, these onlookers will naturally do a better job than our government's publicity."

  "Boss, you mean Wu Dashi is more powerful than Kongming Dashan?" Zhang De said cautiously, glancing at Zhao Guanghua, his heart curious but not daring to speak out loud.

  He was very clear in his mind that this boss, Mayor Zhao Dashi, had some connections with the Empty Bright Great Master, to put it more bluntly, Mayor Zhao's rise from a small district head to the second most powerful person in the city within four years was largely due to the crucial role played by the Empty Bright Great Master.

  As Zhao's trusted aide and confidant, Zhang De had the privilege of knowing these things, but knowing was one thing, and mentioning them in any setting was strictly off-limits.

  This is an institution, and also a taboo.

  Mayor Zhao picked up the pen on his desk, slowly turning it over in his hand as if thinking about something. After a long while, he finally spoke up in a light tone, "Is there still room for me to improve?"

  His words seemed to be asking Zhang De, but also seemed to be muttering to himself, and he was not a master of language, so he couldn't grasp his thoughts at all.

  But Zhang De was different. As Zhao Dashi's first secretary, his understanding of Mayor Zhao far surpassed that of the mayor's wife and children.

  At this point, he understood that Mayor Zhao was asking him if he gave a bad answer, his future would likely end here. This is also the reality of "accompanying the king like accompanying a tiger". Even though Zhao Guanghua is just a mayor, far from the ancient "king", in today's officialdom, those who don't understand the art of language are doomed to go nowhere.

  Zhang De was obviously a mid-to-high-level expert, and this sentence should be answered in the same way that Zhao Guanghua had already given an answer at the time he spoke.

  "Boss, you're still young, 48 years old is just the right age, the opportunity to be promoted to deputy department head is great, if...". He carefully glanced at Zhao Guanghua, seeing Mayor Zhao staring motionlessly at the pen slowly rotating in his hand, Zhang De continued in a low voice, "If Master Wu lends you a helping hand, boss, you'll surely soar to new heights."

  After saying this, Zhang De lowered his head and carefully observed Zhao Guanghua's expression. Although he thought what he said was right, he didn't dare to randomly guess the leader's thoughts. Ultimately, whether it was right or wrong depended on Zhao Guanghua alone. If he was in a good mood, something that wasn't right could become right, but if he was in a bad mood, something that wasn't right would remain wrong, and even something that was right could be considered wrong.

  Just as Zhang De was anxious, Zhao Guanghua grasped the pen in his hand and said, "No matter how you turn, you can't jump out of my palm."

  Zhao Guanghua's face revealed a hint of a smile, and he stood up, glancing at Zhang De who was standing respectfully in front of him. "Go to Binjiang Hotel and book a private room, choose the best dishes, Wu Dashi is a big eater, most importantly, pay attention to the nutritional value of the dishes, Wu Dashi has been busy all day today, he must have consumed a lot, our government can't provide him with any help, but we can at least treat him to a nutritious meal."

  When Zhang De heard Zhao Guanghua's words, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He knew that since Zhao Guanghua had spoken such words, it was clear that a decision had been made. Since the decision had been made, tonight's work as the chief secretary would not be simply accompanying him for dinner.

  It must be said that those who can serve as a leader's chief secretary are not simple, their thoughts must be extremely meticulous, and their service must be extremely considerate. They are like the tapeworm in the leader's stomach, or the leader's third hand and second mouth. They know the leader's mind, say some things that the leader is not suitable to say personally, and do some things that the leader wants but is not suitable to do personally...

  Being a leader's top secret is glorious! Awesome! Making others envy and resent!

  But who knows the risks involved? Accompanying a leader is like accompanying a tiger, one must be careful everywhere and cautious in everything. Sometimes a leader's casual remark requires his assistants to think deeply for half a day. Others only see their glory, but who can see their helplessness?

  It's still the same sentence, tired! Everyone has their own way of being tired, that's all.

  "Understood, boss." Zhang De bowed and backed out of the office.

  At this moment, Zhao Guanghua's face finally broke into a smile. "Master Kongming, when you divined my fortune earlier, you said that at the age of 48, I would meet a great nobleman who would change my life. I think, Master, I already know who that nobleman is."

  On the pedestrian crossing outside No. 144 Beihuan Road, Qimen City, a sea of people gathered, with police officers holding batons visible everywhere on the periphery. On this building from the third to thirty-third floor, you can see heads popping out of windows and balconies as far as the eye can see.

  Roughly estimated, this crowd has already exceeded eight hundred people, and it can be said that it is a big news in H city that is hard to find.

  "Dear audience friends, I'm Xiao Lu, a reporter from HC TV station. This afternoon at 5:50, we received a call from a citizen saying that three people, two men and one woman, broke into the notorious haunted house in our city - No. 144 Beibin Road, also known as Ghost Gate City."

  After receiving the call, we rushed here in a hurry. However, when we arrived, the entire Beiduan Road was already congested with all kinds of vehicles. As you can see from the footage, the usually smooth Beiduan Road is now difficult to navigate.

  In addition, the pedestrian crossing in front of Qimen City at No. 144 Beibin Road was packed with a sea of people, and Xiaolu roughly estimated that there were at least 800 people here.

  To prevent stampedes, we can see that our city's traffic police and the law enforcement team of the public security bureau are scattered among the crowd, constantly persuading the people who remain here to leave.

  However, this persuasion seems to have little effect. Several hundred people's eyes are almost all looking in one direction。 What exactly are they looking at? Let's interview Mr. Zhu who arrived here first。

  "Hello Mr. Zhu, I heard you were the first citizen to arrive here. So, what did you find out? What is everyone looking at now?"

  Mr. Zhu is a middle-aged man who looks somewhat like a successful person. When the reporter's microphone was placed in front of him, he revealed a smile that he thought was very handsome. "Xiao Lü beauty, actually I wasn't the first to arrive here. When I came, there were already nearly a hundred people gathered around."

  I was just driving to the north of the city for dinner, but unexpectedly my car got stuck here. So I got out of the car to see if there was a traffic accident ahead. When I heard that someone had entered the Ghost Gate City, I became curious and took a look, but I didn't see anything.

  At this time, I was ready to get back in the car and head back to take another route. After all, tonight's dinner party is very important, with one of our leaders attending. If I don't go...

  "Ahem." Xiaolü took the microphone with an embarrassed face, cleared her throat twice and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhu is not clear about what happened inside, let's go ask the people in front again."

  "Wait, wait, wait." The middle-aged man with the surname Zhu was anxious as soon as he heard it. He rarely had a chance to be in front of the camera, how could he let this opportunity slip away?

  "Xiao Lu, beautiful girl, I didn't see what happened inside with my own eyes, but I already knew what had happened," Mr. Zhu snatched the microphone from Xiao Lu and began to introduce excitedly, "I heard that at first there were only two people here, a young man and woman, both of them looked like they were in love, the man was quite ordinary-looking, while the woman was very beautiful, judging by their appearance, they should be a couple. When I heard about it, I was a bit puzzled, why would such a beautiful girl fall for an ordinary-looking guy?"

  Mr. Zhu wiped his oily hair with a rather dashing gesture, it was clear that he must have used 'hair gel' when he went out.

  "Cough, Mr. Zhu, shall we get to the point?" Little Lu's forehead was already filled with countless black lines, she just couldn't understand how she had managed to grab such a 2B (idiot) with just one hand.

  "Alright, let's get to the point," Mr. Zhu perhaps also felt that he had shown off enough, and nodded slightly, revealing a smile that he thought was extremely handsome, his old yellow teeth suddenly appearing on TV...
