"Chief Li, who allowed you to act so recklessly, hmm?!"
After listening to Mu Jinyu's summary, Su Xuezhen's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. He then turned his head to look at the similarly stunned Chief Li and angrily rebuked him.
"Young Master Su, I... it's not... I didn't mean that, I wasn't trying to cover up, I was really planning to deal with Director Wang... I..."
Chief Li was so scared that his heart was about to leap out of his throat, and he began to stutter.
Although Su Xuezhen was not much on his own, the Su Family backing him was terrifying, and his father was an even more important figure in the Jinling temples and halls.
If his actions today were exposed, it would mean he had picked the wrong side and would probably have to move seats.
He was naturally extremely nervous.
What made Chief Li even more afraid to imagine was the identity of Mu Jinyu.
If the Su Family behind Su Xuezhen made him frightened and fearful, then how terrifying must Mu Jinyu be, given that Su Xuezhen was so eager to please him?!
Thus, Chief Li didn't even dare to look at Mu Jinyu anymore.
Mu Jinyu saw the look on Su Xuezhen's face, seemingly ready to let the Su Family behind him clean up Chief Li. Mu Jinyu frowned slightly and said, "Alright, hurry up and get my paperwork done and deal with Director Wang, then we can forget about this whole incident!"
Although he had just had a minor conflict with Chief Li, Chief Li wasn't inherently bad by nature. He was simply following his routine habit, trying to press down the issue and deal with it slowly.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu didn't want to hold too much against him.
The real troublemaker was still Director Wang!
Not only did he tamper with their application reports to hold them up, even after Lin Qiaoxia gave benefits and tried to smooth things over with him, he was still insatiable with greed, wanting to drive Lin Qiaoxia away...
If this man was not dealt with, Mu Jinyu would not let the matter rest!
"Of course... of course..."
Seeing that Mu Jinyu wasn't planning to make things difficult for him, Chief Li, whose heart had nearly jumped out of his throat, instantly felt it drop back to its place and he quickly agreed.
Then, under the scrutinizing gaze of Su Xuezhen, he asked Mu Jinyu for the application report, promising to check it immediately and approve it if it met the standards...
Su Xuezhen furrowed his brows and said directly, "Does this still need to be checked? Even if it isn't up to standard, you damn well have to deal with it immediately..."
Mu Jinyu waved his hand at him and said, "There's no need for that. I act uprightly and sit securely, and all the procedures I go through are up to standard. As long as no one deliberately blocks me, I'm not afraid it won't get approved. If Chief Li really does as you say, approving it without regard to whether the procedures are adequate, then I have to consider if this fellow is fit for his position!"
Mu Jinyu spoke calmly and naturally. Had he said this earlier, Chief Li and Director Wang would surely have thought him arrogant and presumptuous. Who did he think he was, to so easily make Chief Li leave his position?
But now, seeing Su Xuezhen's submissive attitude towards him, although they were still unclear about his background, they knew for sure that he was someone who could make it happen.
Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Chief Li's back once again broke out in a cold sweat. He secretly thought it was too close for comfort, feeling fortunate that he had initially withstood the pressure to act by the book. Otherwise, if he had simply expedited the process for Mu Jinyu, he feared not only would he have failed to gain any advantage, but he might have also risked losing his position!
Lucky indeed...
Seeing that Mu Jinyu had put it that way, although Su Xuezhen still felt it unnecessary, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Soon after, Chief Li, having checked Lin Qiaoxia's application report and various inspection reports and knowing for sure there was no issue – they had indeed been deliberately stalled by Director Wang – despised Director Wang in his heart. He quickly stamped and signed the documents for them.
"All done, all done."
After finishing the signing and stamping, Chief Li hurriedly and respectfully returned the documents to Lin Qiaoxia.
Mu Jinyu glanced at Director Wang, who was still being pinned down on the office desk, unable to move, by a Dragon King Hall member, and said indifferently, "Alright, let's go. Let me know once you've dealt with this guy."
Director Wang had been praying in his heart, hoping that Mu Jinyu would let him go just like Chief Li, but when he heard Mu Jinyu's words, his face instantly turned ash gray!
It's over, it's all over...
He murmured in his heart, his eyes filled with despair!
If he had known Jinyu Group had such a powerful background, he would never have dared to purposely withhold their paperwork!
But now, it was too late for regrets.
Soon, Mu Jinyu left the relevant department leisurely with Lin Qiaoxia and a few others.
Chief Li stood at the door, respectfully watching as Mu Jinyu and his group got into the extremely intimidating Hongqi sedan, and left. Only then did he exhale a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his brow, realizing his whole body was drenched!
"My goodness, to think they ride in such a car, no wonder Young Master Su treated him with such respect, I was scared to death..."
Chief Li murmured to himself in a low voice.
After that, he thought of Mu Jinyu's company, Jinyu Group, and that wildly popular Beauty Pill...
Thinking about it, it made sense that if this company didn't have such a strong backing, it would have been devoured by other capital long ago, leaving not even bones behind, let alone become more and more powerful and open branches everywhere?
The more Chief Li thought, the more he felt Director Wang was really a pigheaded fool. He had wanted to take advantage of them, and even though they were honorable enough to have given fifty thousand yuan, he was still unsatisfied. Look at him now, huh? This idiot didn't gain any benefits and had to step down first, almost dragging Chief Li down with him.
Thinking thus, Chief Li turned around and headed back to the office building to deal with Director Wang's situation and report it.
...
Mu Jinyu sat in the car, opened the refrigerator, popped a bottle of Romanican Emperor red wine, and poured a glass for Lin Qiaoxia and her secretary. He smiled and said, "Have a drink to calm the nerves."
He took a sip himself, smacked his lips a few times, and felt that it didn't taste much different from a bottle worth ten yuan.
Not quite accustomed to the taste, he re-sealed the wine bottle with the cork and placed it back in the refrigerator. Mu Jinyu then turned to look at Su Xuezhen, who was sitting nervously beside him, and asked, "How is it? No problems with the inspection, right?"
"Yes." As soon as Su Xuezhen heard Mu Jinyu's question, she thought about her own chronic condition and immediately became excited, saying repeatedly, "It's all good now; I'm really normal. Thank you so much, Young Master Mu..."
Mu Jinyu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Just help me look after my branch offices around here from now on."
Although Dragon King Hall was strong enough not to fear any schemes, having the support of local snakes obviously made the situation better.
So Mu Jinyu made sure to mention it to Su Xuezhen.
As they chatted, the Hongqi sedan soon arrived in front of Jinyu Tower at Wuhu Plaza.
After sending off Su Xuezhen, Mu Jinyu took the obedient-looking Lin Qiaoxia on an elevator ride up to the eighteenth floor.
"Young Master Mu, I'm sorry..."
The secretary had gone to escort Su Xuezhen, leaving only Mu Jinyu and Lin Qiaoxia together in the elevator.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiaoxia spoke up in a low voice to apologize to Mu Jinyu.
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Mu Jinyu turned his head to look at Lin Qiaoxia upon hearing her voice, and said, "It's not your fault!"
