Chapter 125: Disrespect

Mayor Shen looked at Qiu Tong worriedly, afraid that she would turn on him on the spot and Mr. Jin Yang about this matter, thus implicating his position.

At the same time, he did not believe that Qiu Tong would be able to think of a way to completely solve the locust pesticide problem. Mayor Shen hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “This is an important matter. We have to slowly discuss countermeasures. Miss Qiu, don’t be too rash.”

“You can’t be blamed for this…”

Qiu Tong took out her phone with an indifferent expression and dialed the military base officer on her contact list.

The call was picked up after a few seconds. The officer asked happily, “Miss Qiu, are you still coming to modify aircraft today?”

Qiu Tong replied calmly, “No, I’ll give you a location later.”

“Send the modified helicopters from the base over. I need to use them now.”

The officer had received Song Yan’s order in advance to follow Qiu Tong’s instructions and immediately agreed.

Lin Shan listened with widened eyes. When Qiu Tong hung up, she said mockingly, “Yo, are you trying to scare me?”

“How can a civilian come into contact with helicopters from a military base? And they are sending it over for you to use?”

“Who do you think you are?”

Mayor Shen and Chief Officer Fang looked at each other and similarly felt that Qiu Tong’s words could not be trusted. They were well aware of the strict protocols of military bases. If a basic-level officer was to casually deploy military aircraft, even if they were abandoned aircraft, he would be severely punished.

However, when they thought of Qiu Tong’s background and status, they unanimously defended her and retorted to Lin Shan, “Miss Qiu has a high status.”

“As long as Miss Qiu Tong says so, she must be confident of it!”

Lin Shan was stunned. She sized up Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen suspiciously, sensing that their attitude towards Qiu Tong was a little different.

Lin Shan seemed to have thought of something. She stared at Qiu Tong and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so capable.”

“You managed to hook up with two high-ranking officials, the Chief Officer and the Mayor at the same time, and even have them get along so harmoniously with each other?”

“What method did you use? Skills in bed? Or just relying on your sweet mouth?”

Lin Shan sneered sarcastically, “I need to learn from you!”

When Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen heard Lin Shan’s nonsense, their expressions changed in fright. They stopped her with a harsh voice and reminded her, “Lin Shan! Don’t slander high-ranking government officials! Don’t slander people without thinking!” Their words were clearly hinting at something, but Lin Shan did not understand.

A dead silence fell. Lin Shan glared at Qiu Tong angrily.

Bang!

The door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Shu Xian, who had been invited, rushed over a little later. He personally brought a second batch of protective gear with him. He was so stupid that he didn’t notice the abnormal atmosphere. Shu Xian skillfully picked up an empty wine glass and filled it himself. He looked at Mayor Shen and said, “Our factory has finally produced it after working overtime!”

“The protective apparatus has solved the problems of Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen, but it’s a loss-making business for us.”

Shu Xian finished the red wine in his glass. He raised his hand to wipe the stain at the corner of his mouth. He pretended to mention casually. “I heard that there’s an empty space east of the city. The government has the right to use it. Its location is quite good. Our factory has been expanding recently. We just happen to need a piece of land to build a new factory.”

“Chief Officer Fang and Mayor Shen, why don’t you help me out on this?”
