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

The surrounding guests were still engrossed in this farce, waiting to see the provincial official suppress the local playboy.

However, what they saw was An Xuanye's expression turning into a shaky and ugly one within a few seconds after he received the call.

"Huh? Why did Director An's expression change? She was perfectly fine just now!"

"Isn't he from the provincial capital? Why is he so flustered after just one phone call?"

"Who's on the other end of the phone? Secretary Lu? Our city's Secretary Lu? That can't be right, the city party secretary doesn't have jurisdiction over provincial officials..."

Hearing these naive questions, the guests who had seen through the inside story from the beginning and had been watching with subtle expressions finally couldn't help but speak up with a cold laugh.

"Because you only remember him as the municipal party secretary," a middle-aged man said with pity, looking at An Xuanye, who was sweating profusely, "but you've forgotten that our Ba City is the provincial capital and a sub-provincial city."

"The Party Secretary of a provincial capital city is, by convention, concurrently held by a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. Our Secretary Lu is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee who has a voice and voting rights."

These few words instantly caused an uproar among the guests who were not aware of the details.

"What?! A member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee?!"

"That's right, otherwise why do you think Vice Mayor Liu ran faster than a rabbit just now? He's a vice mayor, sandwiched between a provincial standing committee member and an arrogant deputy director. If he didn't run, wouldn't he be waiting to be crushed to dust?"

"No... wait, wait, wait, a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee? Doesn't that mean that what Director An just threatened in public was...?"

"He's the son of a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee?!"

"Holy crap... what did Deputy Director An just say...?"

"Ha, threatening someone's son in front of a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, and even making the member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee take the lead in studying... This kind of insubordination is the first time I've seen it in all my years in this industry."

"Damn it, I was just thinking that Director An was overwhelming those young guys, but now that I see... isn't he just asking for death?"

"It's all over, Director An is doomed..."

"Shh, look, his hand seems to be shaking..."

The guests looked at each other, their faces clearly showing the words: "This is an eye-opener."

Fu Xingzhou, standing in the corner, had long since lost all his smile, replaced by an unsightly silence.

Lu Jingxiu's father is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee?!

He had just thought Lu Jingxiu was the one who was being crushed.

Looking back now, the one who was truly crushed was Deputy Director An, who was still on the phone, his face pale and sweating profusely.

Lu Feng clearly didn't expect An Xuanye to give any decent answer, and he continued in a calm and unhurried tone: "I basically know everything that happened tonight."

"Charitable donations are based on goodwill. If you think goodwill can be measured by money, then your values ​​are flawed."

"You used the provincial government's name to boss around donors at a private dinner; that's a problem with your conduct."

"You openly mocked the son of a provincial standing committee member and even asked him to pass on a message to the member himself. That means you have something wrong with your head."

An Xuanye felt like the sky had fallen, because these words were not only directed at him, but also at his career.

If a member of the provincial standing committee is criticized for having problems with his values, work style, and thinking, can his career still advance?

It's a bit hard to guess.

Lu Feng paused for a second, then his tone became earnest, as if he were lecturing a disappointing junior:

"Deputy Director An, provincial cadres need to know their place when they go to the local level. I said this at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. You can find the meeting minutes when you get back."

"Finally, I want to say that you work in the Provincial Party Committee Office, so you should understand a principle better than others: the identity of a cadre is for serving the people, not for showing off."

"Give the phone back to my son."

Upon hearing the last sentence, An Xuanye blankly handed the phone back to Lu Jingxiu.

Lu Jingxiu took it and held it to his ear: "Dad?"

"Okay, it's alright now. Go back and get some rest."

The phone hangs up.

An Xuanye came to his senses and felt extremely embarrassed looking at the mocking gazes of the guests around him.

He took a deep breath, turned around with a livid face, and walked towards the direction where An Xiaozhao was.

He told himself that he hadn't lost yet, that he still had a trump card up his sleeve.

An Jia has another trump card: his grandfather was a general.

An Xuanye walked to his sister's side, his earlier high spirits gone.

An Xiaozhao immediately went to him and took his arm: "Brother, did they bully you?"

An Xuanye opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just shook his head: "...It's nothing."

An Xiaozhao isn't stupid.

Looking at her cousin's expression, and then at the group of young men still sitting in the distance as if nothing had happened, she immediately understood.

Her brother tried to stand up for her, but failed.

She glanced in Lu Jingxiu's direction again, biting her lip, somewhat unwilling: "Brother, aren't you from the provincial party committee? How dare they..."

Yes, An Xuanye is the deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Office. He is a cadre from the province. In Ba City, which is a small place, everyone should give him some face.

There's only one reason: Lu Jingxiu's background is something An Xuanye's identity can't suppress.

An Xuanye didn't speak. Yes, he was from the provincial party committee, but his father was from the provincial party committee, so there was no "of" in his title.

Seeing her cousin's grim face, An Xiaozhao lowered her head and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

An Xuanye frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't overthink it. What happened today... was my fault for not handling it well."

He thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush. His father is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, so I can't make any moves right now. But An Jia isn't just staying in the province for nothing. I'll go home in a while and ask Grandpa."

"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." An Xiaozhao nodded obediently, her face showing a look of dependence and trust.

Since that's the case, she won't stay here and continue to be humiliated.

Thinking of this, An Xiaozhao gently tugged at An Xuanye's sleeve, her voice soft and slightly coquettish: "Brother, let's go, I don't want to stay here anymore."

An Xuanye nodded, took one last look at the guests in the banquet hall who were still whispering and glancing at him from time to time, and left the banquet hall with his sister.

On the other side, the guests now fully understood that this young master Lu was the one they truly couldn't afford to offend tonight.

The only son of a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, a true heir to a powerful business empire.

Those who were just surrounding An Xuanye now naturally swarmed around him again, their faces beaming, eager to establish a connection with the young master, handing him their business cards and saying nice things.

"Young Lu is a remarkable young man with extraordinary talent and bearing!"

"Young Master Lu, when you have some free time another day, you must do me the honor of having a casual meal together..."

Lu Jingxiu was getting annoyed by the group of people surrounding him.

He raised his hand to look at his watch: "My dad told me to go home early, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, without waiting for the reactions of those people, he got up, pushed through the crowd, and walked out.

"Of course, of course..."

"Secretary Lu has strict family discipline, I understand, I understand..."

"Take care, Mr. Lu..."

Behind him, the celebrities continued to smile and watch him leave.
