With su Yicheng’s guarantee, the villagers promised that if the compensation was reasonable, they would cooperate with the demolition work and wouldn’t cause them any trouble.

After sending off the villagers, su Yicheng walked over to the demolition workers. When Zhou han saw him coming over, he took the lead and said, ” I will be fully responsible for the losses caused by this accident. &Quot;

Su Yicheng looked at him, nodded, and only said, ” “Then I’ll have to trouble you, general manager Zhou.” He looked at the demolition staff behind him and said, ” &Quot; there are some things you should emphasize to them again. I don’t want something like this to happen again. &Quot;

“Yes.” Zhou han nodded. He looked at the time and said, ” “I’m sorry, I still have something to do at the company. I’ll be leaving first.”

Su Yicheng nodded and didn’t say anything.

On the other side, Tong Wenhai had already understood the situation and was walking over to him. He looked at su Yicheng and said, ” “Deputy Mayor su,”

Su Yicheng turned his head to look at him, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he said with interest, ” “Bureau chief Tong.”

Tong Wenhai felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He turned his head to look at the noisy police station and said, ” “There’s always this kind of thing happening every time there’s a demolition.”

Su Yicheng nodded and stood side by side with him, looking in the same direction. With his hands behind his back, he gently flicked his fingers and then said indifferently, ” &Quot; I asked the villagers just now. They seem to be dissatisfied with the relocation funds. &Quot;

Tong Wenhai was startled, and his hands clenched a little. A trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, and he only said, ” “All this while, the demolition funds have never been satisfactory. Everyone wants more.”

“Is that so?” Su Yicheng turned his head and looked at him. &Quot; I remember that bureau chief Tong is in charge of the demolition funds this time, right? ”

Tong Wenhai’s body trembled slightly, but it didn’t escape su Yicheng’s eyes.

She turned to look at su Yicheng and asked, ” &Quot; what do you mean by that? are you suspecting that I took the demolition money? ” She clenched her hands tightly. Her face was filled with anger, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction. She was very unhappy with his questioning.

......

Su Yicheng chuckled. &Quot; I didn’t say anything. Why are you so nervous, chief Tong? ”

Tong Wenhai turned his head stiffly and did not look at him. He only said coldly, ” “I’m not nervous.”

Su Yicheng glanced at him, then turned around with a faint smile and was about to leave.

Just as su Yicheng was about to leave, Secretary Zheng happened to come in from outside and asked, ” “Has everything been arranged?”

&Quot; yes, ” Secretary Zheng nodded and replied, ” it’s all settled. &Quot;

Su Yicheng nodded and was about to leave with Secretary Zheng.

However, just as su Yicheng was about to leave, Tong Wenhai, who was behind him, suddenly called out to him, ” wait a minute. &Quot;

Turning around to look at him, su Yicheng asked with some doubt, ” is there anything else, bureau chief Tong? ”

Tong Wenhai stared at him for a while and asked somewhat unnaturally, ” “Anran, is Anran okay?”

Su Yicheng’s face turned cold, and his slightly distant smile was replaced by indifference. He only said coldly, ” “I don’t think it has anything to do with director Tong.” Then, without even looking at him, she turned around and left.

Secretary Zheng, who was standing on the side, didn’t quite understand what was going on. He gave Tong Wenhai a strange look, nodded at him, turned around, and followed su Yicheng out.

Su Yicheng didn’t look too good, and his expression was so cold that it seemed to be able to freeze everything within a meter of him. When they reached the entrance of the police station, Secretary Zheng couldn’t hold back his anger and asked, ” “Su city, you were having a chat with bureau chief Tong just now.”

Before Secretary Zheng could finish his question, he saw su Yicheng stop in his tracks and turn around to look at him. His eyes were definitely not kind, but rather sharp and somewhat intimidating. Secretary Zheng felt uncomfortable and said with a dry smile, ” “No, nothing.”

Only then did su Yicheng look away. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Secretary Zheng was a little confused.

After a moment of silence, su Yicheng said, ” &Quot; go and check the amount of money allocated for this demolition. Also, find out who Tong Wenhai has been in contact with recently. &Quot;

Although Secretary Zheng didn’t quite understand his intention, he still nodded and agreed. &Quot; okay, I understand. &Quot;

When su Yicheng’s phone call came in, Anran was learning how to make small cakes from aunt Zhang. She asked her to accompany him to a dinner party that night. It was Secretary Zhang’s birthday, so there would be a dinner party that night. There weren’t many people who would attend, and only a few leaders from the municipal Party Committee were invited to have a meal at his house. There was no need to dress up or give red packets.

Secretary Zhang’s wife had specifically instructed su Yicheng to bring Anran along. In fact, the Zhang family and the SU family had been friends for generations, and the two families had known each other for more than 30 years. Back then, Secretary Zhang and su Wenqing were comrades in arms, but Secretary Zhang later graduated from the Army professionally, and then he slowly climbed to where he was today.

However, the contact between the two families had never been broken. Qin Yun and Mrs. Zhang were also best friends, and they would often visit each other. As for su Yicheng, the Zhang couple didn’t have any children, so they treated him like their own son. This time, su Yicheng suddenly got married. There was no wedding or banquet, and su Yicheng was busy with his work, so she had always felt like Anran was hidden away. She had always wanted to see her, but she never had the chance to. So, this time, she made use of Secretary Zhang’s birthday to specifically ask su Yicheng to bring Anran along.

Although she didn’t need to dress up, Anran had already changed her clothes when su Yicheng returned. She was wearing a light pink dress. In fact, the dress didn’t have any special design, but it perfectly complemented Anran’s gentle temperament. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and there was no decoration on her head.

Su Yicheng smiled and walked over to her, kissing her on the cheek. Then, he whispered into her ear, ” you look really pretty. &Quot;

Anran was a little shy and lowered her head. When she raised her head again, she looked at him with a hint of blame. &Quot; why didn’t you say so earlier? I could have prepared a gift or something. Time is so tight now, and I don’t have time to buy a gift. &Quot;

Su Yicheng only chuckled as he took her hand and walked out of the door, saying, ” “It’s okay. Secretary Zhang and Mrs. Zhang won’t mind.”

&Quot; we’ll still feel embarrassed. She’s treating us to a meal on her birthday, but we don’t even have a present. We’ll just go and freeload off her. &Quot; An ran muttered in a low voice.

&Quot; it’s fine. Mrs. Zhang said that she’ll just take you there. &Quot; Su Yicheng held her hand tightly in his and stood at the elevator door waiting for the elevator.

Anran frowned and turned to ask him, ” huh? Am I a gift?” Why did it sound so strange?

“Hahaha.” Su Yicheng laughed out loud and pulled her directly into the elevator.

The banquet was held at Secretary Zhang’s house. When su Yicheng arrived with Anran, there were already many people sitting in the living room, most of whom were the leaders of the municipal Party Committee. When they saw su Yicheng coming over, they stood up to greet him. When they saw Anran standing next to him, they all laughed and said that su Yicheng had hidden a mistress in his Golden House, quietly got married, and secretly hid such a beautiful wife. He even treasured her so much that he didn’t even bring her out for any dinner. Today, thanks to Secretary Zhang, they finally got to see her.

Mrs. Zhang came out of the room with a plate of fruit. When she saw su Yicheng and his wife, the smile on her face bloomed like a flower. She put down the fruit in her hand, pulled Anran to look left and right, and kept nodding.

Anran felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She looked over at su Yicheng and saw him nod at her with a smile. Then, she suddenly felt at ease, knowing that he was here, not far from her. Then, she was pulled aside by Mrs. Zhang obediently and the two of them chatted for a long time.

In fact, there were not many people present tonight. Even if all of them were gathered together, there was only one table of people. Ling Chuanjiang was the last to arrive, and he arrived just in time for the start of the banquet. She turned her head and gave su Yicheng a meaningful look, then turned her head away.

Tonight’s dishes were all home-cooked dishes, but they were all very thoughtful. Every dish was personally cooked by Madam Zhang with the help of the nanny. Although there was a banquet tonight, there was no alcohol at the table. The main reason was that Secretary Zhang had just been discharged from the hospital after an operation. Now that the doctor had instructed him to quit smoking and drinking, Mrs. Zhang directly ordered that no smoking and alcohol were allowed in the house.

Anran sat next to Mrs. Zhang, and su Yicheng sat on her left. Because she knew that Anran was pregnant, Mrs. Zhang had specially made chicken soup for Anran and gave her a special treatment. Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, the housekeeper ran over and whispered something in Secretary Zhang’s ear. Secretary Zhang frowned, nodded, and said to the housekeeper, ” “Let him in,”

Everyone seemed to have noticed something, and the atmosphere quieted down.

“Secretary, what happened?” someone asked.

Secretary Zhang shook his head and didn’t speak.

Anran turned her head to look at su Yicheng and saw him smile at her. Under the table, he reached out and held her hand.

In less than a minute, Yan Li came in, smiled at Secretary Zhang, and said, ” “Old Zhang, how could you miss me out on your birthday today?”

Secretary Zhang looked at him and said, ” &Quot; I’m not going to treat you. If I treat you, who knows who’s going to be in trouble here? you can just keep an eye on me every day. &Quot;

Yan Li laughed out loud and said, ” that’s true. Other than casually drinking a glass of your wine, I’m really here to cause trouble. &Quot; As he said that, he turned his gaze to the members of the leadership team.

Anran was still a little shocked by what had happened last time, and she couldn’t help but tighten her grip on su Yicheng’s hand.

Su Yicheng turned to look at her, patted her hand, and smiled at her comfortingly.

Yan Li’s gaze finally stopped on Ling Chuanjiang. Looking at him, he said with a smile that was not a smile, ” “Mayor Ling, what do you think? please come with me.”

Ling Chuanjiang stared at him and didn’t get up. After a while, he said, ” “I don’t understand why team leader Yan is looking for me.”

&Quot; I can’t tell you the details here. Come with me first. My people are waiting outside. &Quot; Yan Li said coldly.

Ling Chuanjiang watched him sit in his seat in silence for a long time before he slowly stood up and followed him out. When he passed by su Yicheng, he stopped for a moment and said, ” “You’re ruthless,”
