Chapter 418 A Mad Dog Barks at the Sun
"Is the mayor popular?"
"Yes, pink flowers, they're so pretty."
"These are beautiful flowers, I'll take them, but I can't give them to the dignitaries in Kyoto." David said awkwardly, "This kind of flower can only be given to the mayor or someone below that rank."
If you give it to Xiao Zhikai, he'll definitely be happy.
The head of the municipal organization department, plus the county party secretary, could easily be promoted to mayor. Wouldn't that make him happy?
"I'll give you 500 for this pot, sell it to me." Dawei gestured for Chen Shouren to pay.
Qiu Feng quickly waved her hand: "I get angry when you mention money."
If you want to pay me, then I won't give it to you. I'll just pull it out and throw it away.
Something that happened while I was doing chores.
It's always about money, money, money.
I'm so happy that you can use it.
When I have some free time, I'll have my second son deliver it to your home.
This one isn't suitable for Kyoto, so I have another one. Judging by the variety, it should be Takayama Shunshoku.
That's not a very sophisticated way to put it.
Several households in my village raise them.
The flowers that bloom do emit a delicate fragrance.
The leaves don't droop much; they're rather straight, which isn't very elegant.
Is this variety usable?
It's very lush, and flower stalks have sprouted.
Dawei had seen this breed before when herding cattle.
It's a large, bushy plant that sprouts a lot, but it doesn't flower very often.
It has a delicate fragrance, and its leaves even change color.
"This is good."
Second brother, take your sister home.
When you come out, please bring these two potted plants with you.
Wrap the flower stalks in cotton and transport them carefully.
With Wang Guozheng's position, he can get whatever he wants.
The things from these mountains have a pure fragrance, unlike those hatched in greenhouses.
What we want is something down-to-earth, something authentic.
Lin Lao Er got up to go do his errands.
David called out from behind, "Be careful on the road."
I'm in the hospital for the next couple of days, so don't worry about me.
Once you receive the flowers, please send them to the city airport. I'll send you the address later.
Mayor Hong turned back and delivered it to Secretary Zhikai's house.
Lin Yunxing carefully noted, "Received."
Chen Shouren and his wife gave a few instructions, saying that they were staying at a hotel nearby and that Dawei should entertain the guests first, while they would bring the dinner later that evening.
The elderly couple had just gone outside when they saw someone hurrying off to the next ward.
The man looked to be about the same age as Dawei, with a square face. When he encountered Wu Maocai and other cadres, he didn't greet them and went straight to the ward next door.
Wu Maocai even bowed and smiled at the other party.
Could it be...?
Is he Ye Xiangju's husband?
David felt uneasy.
It's understandable, though; given the serious trouble Ye Xiangju went through, people were bound to come.
Since an outsider was passing by, and it was right next door, Director Wu decided to wait and not enter Dawei's room for the time being.
About a few minutes later.
The man in the black shirt who had just left came out, went straight into Dawei's room, and closed the door.
"You are, Chen Dawei?"
The other person had one hand in their pocket and a cold expression.
"It is indeed I. May I ask who you are?" Dawei maintained his composure, having already guessed who it was, though he was somewhat nervous.
However, upon further reflection, I realized that I had indeed defeated my opponent.
What is there to fear?
"I am Ye Xiangju's husband, and my name is Huang Langping."
Dawei feigned surprise, took his hand out from under the blanket, and shook hands with him: "Mr. Huang, hello, hello... Old Wu, get Mr. Huang a glass of water..."
Huang Langping pulled his hand out of his pocket and stretched it out towards Director Wu, who was opening the door behind him, without even looking at Director Wu: "No need, I'll just say a few words and then leave. Close the door."
When Dawei called for reinforcements, he was telling the other party that he could mobilize manpower at any time and that they should not act recklessly.
Director Wu was very shrewd. He glanced at Dawei and, seeing Dawei's signal for him to leave, he finally went out.
David sat up straight and took out a cigarette: "Have one, sit down, let's talk while we're sitting down, Mr. Huang."
Huang Langping didn't look too good. He waved his hand and stood there, saying, "No need."
I'm very busy; I'm about to return to the province.
I heard that you and Xiao Ye, you two...
You two spent several hours together in the car?
David was surprised: "What's wrong? We were on the same bus, but I've actually forgotten the exact time."
"Fine—I don't care what your relationship is, I have no interest whatsoever. But one thing is certain: I, Huang Langping, am a respectable figure in the provincial capital. You'd better give me some face, or I won't be so polite!"
Arrogant.
That's incredibly arrogant.
David was annoyed by his exasperated look. He lit a cigarette, squinted at him, and spoke casually.
"Huang Sheng, right?"
Do you know what? You're not the first person to threaten me, and you certainly won't be the last.
I'm someone who really dislikes threatening others; I think that's very tasteless.
If you really have this plan and the guts, just do it already. Why say it out loud?
Isn't this just telling the other party to take precautions in advance?
This is very immature.
Seeing that the other person was about to get angry, Dawei raised his hand to stop him.
"Let me finish speaking."
First of all.
My relationship with Director Ye is professional.
This is our second meeting.
There were other comrades in the car before the accident.
Even if I'm a casual person, Director Ye isn't.
Second.
It's pointless for you to come here and tell me all this.
It would only make it seem like you can't grasp Ye Chu's feelings, which is why you're asking an outsider for help.
At last.
Who you are, how influential you are, how powerful you are in the provincial capital—that has nothing to do with me.
I'm not afraid of you at all.
Listen carefully.
I'm not afraid of you at all.
Don't say it's you.
Even if it's your master, I, Chen Dawei, am not afraid.
He finished speaking.
He grabbed the ashtray next to him and slammed it down on his feet.
The other person was so frightened that they took several steps back and stared blankly at Dawei.
David slowly smoked his cigarette.
"I won't blame you today for the sake of Director Ye."
If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will have you arrested immediately.
Defamation is illegal.
In particular, you slandered two high-ranking officials at once.
Don't assume that just because you're helping others, you're some kind of important person yourself.
I am, after all, someone who rides in a sedan chair.
I think your superior probably doesn't know how domineering you are outside.
I am upright and have nothing to fear.
Governor Ma will only praise me, he won't make things difficult for me.
You've made a mistake by yelling at me.
In my eyes, you are nothing short of a mad dog barking at the sun!
go out!"
David pointed.
Huang Langping gritted his teeth and left.
Ye Xiangju next door pressed her ear against the wall to listen intently, and when she finished, tears streamed down her face.
David did this for her.
Given David's personality, he wouldn't easily make enemies.
This is because he was furious.
I only did that because I felt sorry for her...
A real man...
After Huang Langping came out, he got into the car and immediately used his mobile phone to search for the meaning of "rabid dog barking at the sun".
Upon investigation, he was so angry that he smashed the steering wheel.
