A loud "smack!" suddenly came from the office, as if a hand had slammed onto the table.
"You mean to say that such a shoddy construction project, which injured dozens of people, is only worth a few million in compensation?"
Han Xue glared angrily at the middle-aged man in front of her.
She threw a document in front of the man and shouted angrily, "Look at this! How many people have died because of this project! How many people have been injured because of this project! They actually built this overpass! Chen Rui, you actually want to plead for those people? You're something else!"
The man called Chen Rui picked up the thick document, but didn't even look at it. He knew perfectly well that he had cut corners on the project, and now that something had gone wrong, he couldn't escape the responsibility.
"Sister Xue, do you really need to do this?"
Chen Rui said with a wry smile, "I admit that there are indeed some problems with this project. But you also have to understand that there have been several strong typhoons of category 12 in the past few months. Perhaps this is somewhat related?"
"So you mean the most important reason is because of the typhoon?"
Han Xue pushed up her glasses, revealing a sharp gaze in her beautiful eyes that seemed to see right through the man before her.
"hehe..."
Chen Rui chuckled awkwardly, "Well... this is all up to you, Sister Xue. You're the top leader of Huahai City now! Who would dare to disobey you? Besides, the typhoon disaster is still ongoing, you know what I mean."
As he spoke, he secretly placed an envelope on the table.
Chen Rui was so blatant because he had come today under the pretext of "investigating the situation of this matter"!
After all, he works for the procuratorate!
The more secretive you are when doing these things, the more guilty you appear!
And Chen Rui, that is, following your path.
What do you mean by that?
Han Xue raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on the small envelope.
Chen Rui bowed and smiled, "Sister Xue, we're all family, there's no need to make things so awkward, right? Actually, this matter can be resolved with just a word from you! Please consider Yun'er's sake, she's your sister after all."
Don't try to connect with me!
Han Xue looked at her brother-in-law with disgust. She really couldn't understand why her sister would marry such a shrewish businessman!
"Also, take this back! Tell the person in charge of that project that I will absolutely pursue this matter to the end! The same goes for the deputy mayor of Haiyu!"
Although Chen Rui worked for the procuratorate, he had privately pleaded with Han Xue not to interfere with the vice mayor's handling of the project.
So that's where the trick was!
Dozens of people were injured as a result!
Hearing his sister-in-law scold him like that, Chen Rui was suddenly filled with rage!
I've already humbled myself so much, but I never expected her to be so heartless!
However, the cunning old man held back!
"Sister Xue, I know that you've just taken office as the mayor of Huahai City, and you need to achieve some good results!"
Chen Rui smiled amiably, "Well, as your brother-in-law, I'm more than willing to be your henchman. I can take care of all your connections and cover all the expenses. How about it?"
"Chen Rui."
Han Xue suddenly stood up from the top of the table, and her plain-colored business suit accentuated her graceful figure!
That mature and captivating aura is something that a young girl could never possess!
Her long, beautiful hair was tied into an elegant and dignified woman's bun, revealing her straight, snow-white neck!
The off-white mini skirt hugged her plump and slender legs, while her buttocks were outlined in an alluring curve!
With her tall and slender figure, she exudes a natural charm with every gesture!
"Get out of here! We will sue that construction company according to the law! And don't be a middleman! Remember who you are, don't do anything to hurt Xiaoyun!"
Han Xue could no longer contain her anger!
"you--"
Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat, and his face showed a look of astonishment. He hadn't expected her to turn on him so suddenly.
Looking at the tall, mature, and beautiful young woman in front of him, Chen Rui felt a little uneasy.
However, Han Xue was frowning and glaring angrily. Her cold expression and sharp gaze made him feel very uncomfortable!
"Leave a way out for everything, so you can meet again in the future! I'm still your brother-in-law, you don't have to be so cruel, do you?"
Chen Rui stood up from his chair, glared fiercely at Han Xue who hadn't said a word, and then stormed out, slamming the door behind him in a huff!
Watching his departing figure, Han Xue remained expressionless, her thoughts unreadable.
"Why..."
With a soft sigh, Han Xue turned and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the city center.
She was quite annoyed that she encountered such a thing so soon after taking office.
If this matter is pursued, my brother-in-law will definitely not escape responsibility!
Because he acted as an intermediary and bribed that deputy mayor!
Is he truly impartial and selfless, even turning his own family against him for the greater good?
Han Xue felt she had no concerns whatsoever about Chen Rui.
But the key issue is my own sister!
It seems my medicine has worked to persuade my sister!
However, Han Xue has been extremely busy these past few days!
I've just taken office and haven't gotten familiar with anything yet. Besides, there are still many more things to handle!
"It seems that it's best to let Xiaoxi go see her when she has time."
A thought suddenly occurred to Han Xue.
My sister usually dotes on her son the most, so she might listen to what he says.
Thinking of her son, Han Xue felt a headache coming on. She and her husband had no time to teach him because of their work. As time went by, she felt that a distance had grown between her and her son.
The generation gap is indeed unavoidable.
"Speak! What's going on here!"
In the most prestigious private school in Huahai City, an angry voice came from the huge principal's office!
Inside, sitting in a chair, was the female principal of the high school!
A mature and beautiful woman.
This principal is something else; I heard he used to be a Sanda champion!
Sanda, simply put, is a hand-to-hand combat between two people.
However, don't underestimate this special skill.
You may know about Japanese karate, Korean taekwondo, Thai Muay Thai, American boxing, and so on. However, Sanda is the essence of Chinese martial arts. Five thousand years of culture is absolutely incomparable to foreign kung fu that is only a few hundred years old!
Of course, people with real kung fu skills in China never show off.
The claims that China is number one are completely untrue!
Truly capable people never casually reveal their true abilities!
However, Ye Xi believed that if she said even the slightest harsh word, the usually gentle and elegant principal would immediately throw her out of her office!
"Speak up!"
Lin Wanqing stared at the problem student in front of her, her heart filled with shock and a hidden anger rising within her!
"You've skipped three classes this week, been late six times, and left early almost every day! Tell me, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, then you'll have your parents come to school with you tomorrow!"
However, Ye Xi remained silent!
He turned his gaze to the window, deliberately avoiding looking at the principal's expression!
"Not going to say anything, huh?"
Lin Wanqing sneered, "Fine! You know your bad behavior, so I won't say any more! Have your parents come in tomorrow, or we'll expel you from school!"
"This is all you know how to threaten students!"
Ye Xi, who had been scolded, finally couldn't help but say, "Haven't you ever cared about the situation of each problem student? You're always scolding and punishing them, always calling their parents! Humph!"
"You're really resentful, aren't you?"
Ye Xi's lips twitched slightly as she looked at the student in front of her with a smile. "Alright! You can voice your objections if you have any!"
"I dare not speak up, because even if I do, I will be ignored or my words will be taken out of context!"
Ye Xi uttered a classic line from a movie.
However, his gaze no longer darted away, but met that of the female principal sitting at her desk, her eyes blazing with anger. "Am I wrong?"
"Okay! Then tell me, why did you do something that violated school rules?"
Lin Wanqing sat upright and crossed her legs.
She was dressed in a black women's suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking every bit the refined and sophisticated successful woman.
But Ye Xi knew that this woman's fists could become terrifying when she was angry!
Several students were dissatisfied with the disciplinary actions taken against them by the school, and ended up getting a beating from the principal.
I heard they all ended up in the hospital and have been lying there for quite some time!
However, what is most frightening is this woman's identity!
Even the rich kids at school wouldn't dare to go against her!
This woman comes from an impressive family!
Her father is a high-ranking official in the central government, and her husband is an even higher-ranking official!
And she's also a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) expert!
"Speechless!"
Ye Xi pursed her lips, but remained silent.
"Then what else do you need to say! Your violation of school rules is an undeniable fact!"
Lin Wanqing suddenly stood up from her desk!
Her tall figure is truly amazing!
Wearing high heels, she's a full 1.78 meters tall!
Poor Ye Xi is only a little over 1.65 meters tall!
"I'm only fifteen! I can still grow!"
He comforted himself like this!
"Go ahead and fire me! I have no objection!"
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Wanqing slammed her hand on the table, glaring down at the problem student before her: "You're testing my patience!"
"Please, Principal, be careful not to use violence. I'm still just a child!"
Ye Xi seemed completely unafraid of her, meeting her gaze with those beautiful, murderous eyes.
"Don't think I wouldn't dare fire you!"
Lin Wanqing walked to Ye Xi's side, and her slender hands grabbed his and lifted him up!
Fueled by anger from this semester, her chest heaved violently.
"It's huge!"
Ye Xi's gaze fell upon the beautiful headmistress's breasts, which had become taut due to her movements, and he thought to himself.
