Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 263: Raise a Hand

"I won’t be going in, I still need to report back," he said.

"How can that be? You must come in and have something to eat, come quickly," Xu Dong was very happy that Chen could come.

If it weren’t for his brother-in-law’s suggestion, he wouldn’t dare to come here.

Thus, the appearance of Gu Feng’s secretary, Chen, was particularly important to Xu Dong.

When someone politely says that, you can’t really let him just leave like that.

Xu Dong enthusiastically pulled Chen into the banquet hall.

As the glass automatic door opened, he saw the local City Leader already jogging over. Seeing Head Gu’s secretary, Chen, he immediately came up with a flattering smile to greet him.

"Secretary Chen, hello, hello, welcome to our city. Please forgive us for the lack of a warm reception," he said.

Who is Chen?

The secretary to the Lord of East Guang!

In the future, the Lord has the right to veto any personnel adjustments within the East Guang Boundary!

If this City Leader had the chance to advance, his next step would surely be to Shencheng and the provincial Guang City.

Because the status of these two cities is higher than the other 19 cities in the territory of East Guang!

And which city do these City Leaders most want to work in?

That would definitely be Shencheng!

With its mythic GDP and living environment, it is now an international city with a circle of wealthy businessmen from both home and abroad.

Who wouldn’t want to take charge in such a place?

If he could make a good impression in front of Head Gu’s secretary, and perhaps speak favorably about him to Head Gu himself later, wouldn’t he have a better chance than his less-connected rivals?

The key point is, you can’t meet Secretary Chen whenever you want.

Having seen him today, the local City Leader had to do everything possible to please him.

Upon hearing that this was the local City Leader, Chen wasn’t surprised by his behavior.

Not to mention a prefecture-level city, even the Big Housekeeper of Shencheng would have to give him some respect.

He merely nodded symbolically and then followed Xu Dong into the banquet hall.

The local City Leader acted like a little follower behind him, even volunteering to block drinks for Chen.

"Is it him?"

Jack Ma, who was chatting with a goblet in a corner, recognized Secretary Chen, always dressed in a white shirt and suit pants.

With his attention, Mr. Ma noticed as well.

"Isn’t this the guy who lives in Old Xu’s Deep City Bay No.1 residence?" Mr. Ma asked Xu Xing in surprise.

Xu Xing was more alert than the two, "Do you know him?"

Jack Ma and Mr. Ma shook their heads, "Just seen him in Deep City Bay."

Xu Xing heaved a sigh of relief.

Jack Ma looked at Xu Xing, "I just wanted to ask you who his boss is? Do you know him? This morning, after Mr. Ma and I got up, we went jogging by the artificial lake you built and just saw his boss fishing there. Aren’t you supposed to ban fishing in your lake? Why don’t you manage that?"

Mr. Ma also wondered, "In Shencheng, apart from ornamental fish, it’s forbidden to privately keep edible fish. How did you manage to get the approval for those fish in your lake?"

Since there’s been licensing restrictions for vegetables, fruits, and meats, Shencheng prohibits private cultivation and fishing, with violations subject to administrative penalties.

The transfer fee for a single Shencheng fishing license is now over a hundred million!

This shows how stringent such approval documents are.

When Xu Xing heard the two had been jogging in the artificial lake garden, he immediately frowned, "Why did you two go running there? Didn’t you see the sign at the garden entrance saying entry was prohibited?"

Jack Ma was a bit confused, "We thought that warning sign was only meant for others."

Mr. Ma, "Old Xu, you’ve gone too far, even we can’t go in, right?"

"How should I explain this to you," Xu Xing said with a wry smile, "primarily, I didn’t build the artificial lake and garden for the owners, you get my meaning, right?"

Understood!

With how far Jack Ma and Mr. Ma had gotten today, how could they not understand?

They immediately realized that the person enjoying the artificial lake might have a not-so-simple identity.

Both instinctively turned to look at Chen, who was surrounded by a crowd, and then looked at Xu Xing to ask, "What’s his background specifically?"

Xu Xing felt uncomfortable under their intense gaze and had to say, "Those plots of land were allocated to me by him."

Jack Ma and Mr. Ma’s eyes instantly widened.

As industry leaders, they were always in the know regarding any insider information in the business realms.

Including how competitive the current land development in Shencheng was!

Previously, neither the Baoli nor Smooth state-owned enterprises managed to acquire land, yet this person could allocate some to Xu Xing?

In an instant, Jack Ma and Mr. Ma simultaneously pulled Xu Xing aside to a less crowded area.

It was a sort of vigilance that feared others might share their sudden discovery.

Mr. Ma seemed to have guessed Gu Feng’s identity, "Isn’t he the one who replaced the Ye Family as the new Lord?"

Jack Ma was startled.

Although his business was not in East Guang, he was aware of some of the unspoken rules regarding territorial rights.

Xu...
