"Chen Feng, have you lost your mind? Using a clothes rack against a Japanese sword?"
Jieye Zhengxiong guffawed.
"Jieye Zhengxiong, is it that funny? Japan was very powerful before, but now it's not far surpassed by China? What's impossible? In terms of martial arts, Chinese traditional martial arts are the ancestors of your Japanese people."
Chen Feng said calmly.
Whether it was to protect Fengdao Keiko, uphold the dignity of Chinese traditional martial arts, or secure the investment in Liangfang Town, he had to defeat Jieye Zhengxiong before him.
A man cannot back down!
"Bragging. Today I'll show you the power of a Japanese sword."
Jieye Zhengxiong roared with killing intent.
With that, the Japanese sword struck out rapidly.
It had to be said, Jieye Zhengxiong's swordsmanship was fast, with a hint of anime ninja sword techniques.
However, it was only a hint.
Chen Feng's mind was very calm.
This was a skill Chen Feng had honed through his long struggle at the grassroots of the political arena. In moments of greatest danger, one must remain calmest.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng fought and retreated.
The Japanese sword in Jieye Zhengxiong's hand was a genuine article, selling for at least a hundred thousand yuan in the market. It was truly capable of slicing through metal. A clothes rack was just ordinary iron, and could not withstand a direct impact.
He could only look for Jieye Zhengxiong's openings and use the clothes rack to strike the pressure points on his body.
Once the pressure points were hit, Jieye Zhengxiong would be easily subdued.
It was fake, like in novels, where any weapon could be used to block and achieve victory!
"Chen Feng, if you have the guts, don't dodge, keep bragging."
Jieye Zhengxiong shouted gleefully.
This was precisely the result Chen Feng wanted. Only when Jieye Zhengxiong became complacent would there be an opening.
As expected, after dodging for about five minutes, Jieye Zhengxiong exposed a clear opening, his entire left waist becoming vulnerable.
In a flash, Chen Feng executed a swift counterattack, using the clothes rack to sharply poke Jieye Zhengxiong's left waist pressure point.
In less than a second, Jieye Zhengxiong collapsed to the ground.
A true instant kill!
Not the fabricated instant kills of novels!
"Are you the town mayor, or a martial arts master?"
Jieye Zhengxiong asked with confusion.
"You don't need to ask so many questions. Miss Fengdao is my girlfriend. You are forbidden from harassing Miss Fengdao again. If you disagree, we can fight again anytime."
Chen Feng said coldly.
Beside him, Fengdao Keiko's eyes were glued to the scene.
She couldn't believe it.
Chen Feng was a perfect all-around talent.
His political aptitude, his business acumen, and now his martial arts talent were all extraordinary.
Who wouldn't love such a man?
"Chen Feng, I will no longer harass Fengdao Keiko. However, don't get too smug. The Fengdao family will not allow Miss Fengdao to marry you. Miss Fengdao will eventually marry me."
Jieye Zhengxiong said coldly, looking at Chen Feng.
"You don't need to worry about that. I am indeed just a town mayor now, but in the future, I will be the top leader in the province, the top leader in the capital... By then, Fengdao Corporation will definitely accept me."
"You win this round. We'll see."
Jieye Zhengxiong, unable to argue with Chen Feng, angrily uttered his parting words.
"Chen Feng, you're amazing! You subdued Jieye Zhengxiong directly."
Fengdao Keiko exclaimed excitedly.
"Miss Fengdao, you are too optimistic."
Chen Feng said, taking a deep breath.
"Aren't you?"
"On the surface, yes, but not truly. Jieye Zhengxiong will definitely make an issue of the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"That's unlikely, right? Jieye Zhengxiong has already agreed to Fengdao Corporation's investment in the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base. What else could he do?"
Fengdao Keiko asked, full of doubt.
"In terms of money, Jieye Zhengxiong truly can't cause trouble. But he can cause trouble in other ways. As for what specific ways, honestly, I don't know. We can only return to Liangfang Town and wait and see."
Chen Feng explained seriously.
"Chen Feng, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that your work has suddenly become unstable."
Fengdao Keiko said with guilt.
"Miss Fengdao, please don't think that way. Honestly, it's impossible to do anything in China's political arena without unexpected obstacles. The political arena is a field of conflicting interests, and overt and covert struggles are very common. If you can't even handle this, how can you go to Jiangcheng, to the provincial capital, to the capital?"
Chen Feng comforted Fengdao Keiko.
"Chen Feng, if you find that Jieye Zhengxiong is deliberately opposing you when you return to Liangfang Town, tell me, and I'll go find him."
Fengdao Keiko instructed Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded slightly. After a few more words, Chen Feng immediately returned to Liangfang Town.
As he expected, upon returning to Liangfang Town, Tan Feng, the deputy general manager of Hengdian Group, rushed to find him.
"Mayor Chen, something bad has happened."
"What is it?"
"Your trip to the provincial capital to resolve Jia Mingting's matter, and your subsequent arrangement for Fengdao Corporation to invest in the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base, was originally a good thing. Who knew it would turn into something bad."
Tan Feng said anxiously.
"A good thing turned into a bad thing? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Chen Feng asked calmly.
He hadn't expected Jieye Zhengxiong to act so quickly.
"Mayor Chen, it's like this. Jieye Zhengxiong was not involved in the development of the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base, and all the work was proceeding smoothly. However, after Jieye Zhengxiong became involved, the provincial capital suddenly halted the development of the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base. The reason given was that the development of the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base violated the land policies of the capital."
Tan Feng explained the entire situation in detail.
"I understand, General Manager Tan. Don't worry. Such minor unexpected incidents in the political arena are not uncommon. I have a way to handle it."
Chen Feng comforted Tan Feng.
"Mayor Chen, if it were the Yongming County or Jiangcheng authorities that halted it, there might be a way to resolve it. But the problem now is that the provincial capital has directly halted it, and it's likely to be difficult to resolve. To be honest, Hengdian Group often encounters such situations. A good project is suddenly reevaluated by the provincial capital, followed by various lobbying efforts, and eventually comes to nothing. In the end, the project has to be painfully terminated. Therefore, my suggestion is to cut our losses promptly..."
Tan Feng advised Chen Feng.
"General Manager Tan, if it were a small project, I could cut my losses. But the problem is, the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base project is a major project. It would be too regrettable to just let it go."
Chen Feng said, biting his lip.
"Mayor Chen, I understand that. It's not just you who feels it's regrettable; everyone feels it. But the reality is as it is. What can be done? Unless Hengdian Group's Chairman Xu personally intervenes... However, that option is also not feasible. The Liangfang Town网红 tourist base project is a major project to us, but to Chairman Xu, it's a small project. Chairman Xu would absolutely refuse to bow to provincial bigwigs for such a small project; he would rather let the project be stopped."
Tan Feng continued to advise Chen Feng.
"General Manager Tan, how about this? Regardless of how difficult the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base project is, I will go to the provincial capital to investigate the situation firsthand. If there is truly no room for maneuver, then it can only be abandoned. If there is room for maneuver, I will do everything in my power to preserve the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base project."
Chen Feng said calmly, comforting Tan Feng.
Hearing this, Tan Feng could only place his hopes on a long shot.
Thus, Chen Feng returned to the provincial capital once more.
"What? Someone halted the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base project? How is that possible? Why halt such a good project for poverty alleviation and economic development?"
Zhou Kewang asked in shock.
"The provincial capital's reasoning is that land policies do not permit it. They say the land in Liangfang Town is a special base for China's forests and its land use nature cannot be arbitrarily changed."
Chen Feng explained word by word.
"Nonsense! China does have such land policies, but the Liangfang Town网红 tourist base project falls under the category of smokeless industries, causing minimal damage to the land. The state has not said that such projects cannot be undertaken. Chen Feng, tell me honestly, have you offended anyone in the provincial capital?"
Zhou Kewang asked, frowning.
