Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

His face darkened, and he turned his head to wave to Liu Zhang, who was not far away: "Mayor Liu, come with me for a moment."

Liu Zhang was exchanging pleasantries with several local entrepreneurs when he heard An Xuanye call him. He immediately apologized to them and quickly walked over.

An Xuanye didn't say anything more, turned around and strode towards the blond-haired man.

Liu Zhang immediately spotted the group of powerful young masters who dominated the market not far away.

Seeing that An Xuanye was walking towards them, his mind raced and he quickly understood.

An Xuanye is a high-ranking official from the province. When he arrives in Ba City, it is only normal for him to exchange a few pleasantries with the local officials' sons.

After all, harmony brings wealth, and this is especially true in officialdom.

Thinking this, he picked up a glass of Maotai liquor and quickly followed after him, his face beaming with a warm smile.

Meanwhile, as the main characters of tonight's banquet, the people in the banquet hall also noticed the movements of Liu Zhang and An Xuanye.

They saw An Xuanye's face darken, but he walked straight towards Lu Jingxiu's group without the slightest hesitation.

Considering the perfectly synchronized donation of 888 yuan just now, and An Xuanye's sudden arrival...

Conflict is imminent! Big news! There's going to be some drama!

They all looked excited and slowly gathered around.

An Xuanye walked up to Lu Jingxiu and the others, looking down at the group of young people who were clearly led by Lu Jingxiu.

His gaze finally settled on Lu Jingxiu's face, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips: "So it was you who caused trouble at the An family's banquet?"

"Do you know who hosted this dinner? Do you know what kind of occasion this is?"

"Donate 888?" He repeated the number, scoffing, "Are you insulting the An family, or are you insulting charity?"

Before Lu Jingxiu could react, he turned to Liu Zhang beside him and said, "Mayor Liu, young people these days are becoming increasingly ignorant of manners."

Liu Zhang was completely stunned. Holding the glass of Moutai, he felt like his whole body was about to crack open.

A fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

No way... sir, are you here to provoke me?!

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?!

Oh no! Why did he follow me?! Why did he follow me just now?!

An Xuanye didn't recognize these people, but he did!

The sons of high-ranking officials from all the key departments in Ba City are all sitting here! The Party Secretary, the Mayor, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Procuratorate... which one of them can he, as the deputy mayor, offend at will?

Moreover, what did An Xuanye mean when he said, "Young people these days are becoming less and less respectful of rules"?

Is it to have the deputy mayor teach him the rules?

He's just a deputy mayor, not some damn minister! What right does he have to teach these rich kids manners?!

The guests nearby reacted in various ways when they heard that this high-ranking official from the province was actually making such a blatant attempt to cause trouble for Lu Jingxiu and his group.

Those in the know wore extremely strange expressions, their eyes filled with disbelief and a subtle tension.

Seriously? Is this Deputy Director An really that brave?

Those who didn't know the situation wore expressions of schadenfreude and anticipation.

The eldest son of the Lu family? Secretary Lu's son? So what? He's really messed up this time.

No matter how powerful your dad is in Ba City, can he control high-ranking officials in the province? Your dad has to listen carefully to every word Director An says.

They exchanged excited glances, eager to see this once arrogant young master become humiliated and submissive in front of Deputy Director An.

"I'm sorry, my family is poor, this is all I can donate, just to express my feelings," Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched slightly, but he still went along with the other party's words and lightly dug a pit, "I wonder what Deputy Director An thinks would be an appropriate amount?"

An Xuanye turned his head around: "Poor family background? I think you're just here to cause trouble!"

His face was full of contempt, and his tone was laced with disdain:

"The minimum donation threshold for Anjia's charity gala is 50,000 yuan. You donated only 888,000 yuan. Who are you humiliating? Are you humiliating Anjia, or humiliating all the guests who donated tonight?"

"Since you asked, I'll tell you," he raised a hand, held out a palm, and waved it in front of Lu Jingxiu, "It's at least this much."

"Five hundred thousand," he stared into Lu Jingxiu's eyes, "If you can afford it, I'll toast you. If you can't, walk out yourself, don't make me call security to escort you out."

When Lu Jingxiu heard An Xuanye casually mention 500,000, he almost couldn't keep his expression in check.

This sum of 500,000 is indeed not much compared to the astronomical amount in the original owner's account, but isn't it a bit outrageous to keep talking about 500,000?

Is there inflation? Or is the 500,000 yen figure?

"Five hundred thousand? You're robbing me!" Tang Cheng shouted from the side.

Upon hearing this, An Xuanye turned his head and looked at the blond-haired man, his contempt deepening: "The An family doesn't need your money, but the An family's banquet is not for nouveau riche like you to perform."

He paused, then, in a tone of reprimand like a leader, bluntly rebuked, "Besides, young people should act like young people. Dyeing your hair blonde, what kind of behavior is that!"

"puff--"

Zhou Yu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, his shoulders shaking.

Sorry, that's too funny.

Tang Cheng's face turned green.

So what if he dyes his hair blonde? Lots of people dye their hair blonde! He's still in school, he's not going into politics, and even his own father hasn't said anything about it!

What right does this mere deputy director have to boss him around?!

He even publicly called him a nouveau riche?

Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched, wondering if An Xuanye was being too arrogant.

Why did you start by mocking everyone?

He was about to speak when An Xuanye completely lost his patience and was too lazy to waste any more words on these unruly young people.

He turned his head directly to look at Liu Zhang, who was frozen in place with sweat beading on his forehead.

"Mayor Liu," his tone was clearly displeased and commanding, "I think these people are deliberately here to cause trouble. Have them removed. A charity gala isn't a place where just anyone can show up and pretend to be something they're not."

Sweat poured down Liu Zhang's forehead, his face contorted as if he were being roasted over a fire, and his voice trembled: "Deputy Director An... I think this is a misunderstanding... You may not know, Young Master Lu..."

"Misunderstanding?" An Xuanye frowned and gave the deputy mayor a disapproving look.

Is this all the deputy mayor of Bashi is capable of? He's so timid and he can't even speak properly. He has no backbone at all. No wonder he's been in the position of deputy mayor for so many years.

He stopped relying on Liu Zhang and looked directly at the tall, thin organizer not far away, raising his voice slightly: "Where are the security guards? These people don't belong here. Get them out of here."

After saying that, he turned back to Lu Jingxiu: "If you have any complaints, you can talk to my secretary, but today, you're definitely leaving through this door."

Not far away, Fu Xingzhou watched this scene and felt incredibly satisfied. For the first time since the start of the banquet tonight, he felt the tightness in his chest dissipate.

No matter how arrogant these so-called princes like Lu Jingxiu are, they are nothing more than paper tigers in the small territory of Bashi.

When they actually encounter a powerful official from the province, they become as ridiculous and laughable as a clown, easily manipulated by a few words, and soon driven out like a stray dog.

It’s really great!
