Liang Hongda couldn't withstand Chen Feng's provocation.
His head became hot, and he punched Chen Feng directly in the face.
Originally, with Chen Feng's skills, he could have easily dodged it.
However, Chen Feng didn't dodge. He feigned weakness and took the punch squarely.
Not only did he take the punch, but he also deliberately leaned into Liang Hongda's fist.
After Liang Hongda finished his punch, his mind suddenly cleared.
Damn,
He actually assaulted a public official.
Just as Liang Hongda was about to soften his stance and apologize to Chen Feng, Chen Feng fell to the ground.
To make the scene more impactful, Chen Feng deliberately bit his lip, smearing his mouth with blood.
Liang Hongda was stunned. The punch had indeed been powerful, but it shouldn't have caused such an extreme reaction, like falling down and spitting blood.
"Vice Town Chief Chen, don't try to scare me."
Liang Hongda looked at Chen Feng fearfully, bending his back like a pug. This was exactly the effect Chen Feng wanted.
"Liang Hongda, you're in big trouble. I am a vice town chief, not a village head. A village head is not a state cadre, but a vice town chief is. If you assault me like this while I'm performing my official duties, you're looking at jail time."
Saying that, Chen Feng made a move as if to make a phone call.
"Vice Town Chief Chen, please don't make that call. Whatever your conditions, I'll agree."
Liang Hongda panicked.
"Didn't you say I was acting shamelessly earlier? Then I'll call the police right now and let them see whether you're being shamelessly ruthless or I am."
With that, Chen Feng secretly bit his lip again.
Blood once again overflowed from Chen Feng's mouth.
To achieve great things, one must be ruthless to oneself.
Especially when dealing with rich scoundrels like him, one must be even more ruthless.
"Vice Town Chief Chen, please don't call the police. If you call them now in this state, I won't be able to explain myself clearly."
Liang Hongda conceded.
"You know the seriousness of it now?"
Chen Feng retorted coldly.
"I'm not an idiot, how could I not know the seriousness? Let me put it this way, in China, no matter how rich or powerful you are, you are nothing in the face of authority."
"Liang Hongda, since you see it so clearly, I won't beat around the bush. The demolition standards for Hongda Hardware Factory will be the same as for other households, and it will all be demolished within a day."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"No problem! I'll start preparing tonight and guarantee the task is completed by tomorrow."
Liang Hongda replied with a fawning expression.
"By the way, Vice Town Chief Chen, these sheds at Hongda Hardware Factory, shouldn't they count for some compensation?"
Liang Hongda pressed.
"Not a single cent."
Chen Feng replied crisply.
"Not a single cent? This... this is too much, isn't it? You saw for yourself, there are so many sheds at Hongda Hardware Factory. They are considered property of Hongda Hardware Factory. Due to the demolition, these sheds are now worthless. Both ethically and legally, Mingshan Town should provide some compensation."
Liang Hongda argued persistently.
"Liang Hongda, others might not know your trick, but I'm fully aware of it. Three-quarters of these sheds were built in the last few months, precisely to gain more compensation."
Chen Feng cut straight to the chase, not wasting any words.
"Vice Town Chief Chen, you are indeed sharp; you saw through it at a glance. Since that's the case, then let me be upfront. You turn a blind eye, and I'll give you thirty percent."
Liang Hongda said with a meaningful smile.
"Not interested."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
He was an ordinary person, and it would be false to say he didn't like money.
However, he could absolutely not engage in financial transactions with someone like Liang Hongda. He was a scoundrel who was currently acting subserviently. If he ever held leverage over Chen Feng, his entire future path would be jeopardized.
"Vice Town Chief Chen, please reconsider. The demolition of these sheds is not a small sum."
Liang Hongda continued to tempt Chen Feng.
"Liang Hongda, I'll say it again, I'm not interested in what you're talking about. If you continue to be verbose, then there's nothing I can do but call the police."
Chen Feng replied coldly.
Liang Hongda was speechless.
Damn it, in this world, there really are people who cannot be bought with money.
Losing to him is not a loss.
Seeing Liang Hongda issue the demolition order, Chen Feng didn't hesitate and returned to the Mingshan Town government.
"Chen Feng, what happened to you?"
Qin Yan's heart ached when she saw Chen Feng so injured.
To her, Chen Feng was not only her most capable subordinate but also the only man in her heart.
"Liang Hongda did this."
"Liang Hongda did this? How is that possible? As I recall, didn't you study martial arts in university? And you even won the gold medal in the business group. Liang Hongda is just a hooligan. How could a hooligan beat you like this?"
Qin Yan asked, perplexed.
"Town Chief Qin, your reasoning is indeed strong. I only provoked Liang Hongda to throw one punch; the rest was all my doing."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"What? You did it yourself? Why?"
Qin Yan asked, puzzled.
"Liang Hongda was clearly playing the fool and was determined to act shamelessly. The government also has explicit regulations against forced demolition. There was no other way but to treat a rogue with rogue tactics."
"The logic is sound, but the problem is, is it worth it to injure yourself like this for the demolition of Hongda Hardware Factory?"
Qin Yan looked at Chen Feng with concern.
"Of course, it's worth it! With the successful demolition of Hongda Hardware Factory, the fifth phase expansion of the Mingshan Town Industrial Zone can be completed smoothly. Once the fifth phase expansion project of the Mingshan Town Industrial Zone is completed, a large number of businesses will move in. With many businesses setting up shop, they will naturally be happy to contribute the five million activity fund for the recently selected civilized town. Everything will proceed smoothly, your political achievements will be secured. Of course, I will also benefit considerably, for example, I can legitimately become the vice town chief in charge of the economy."
Chen Feng said happily.
To be honest, if this were solely for the sake of the so-called vice town chief in charge of the economy, he would never have made such a sacrifice.
The path in officialdom is long, and there is no need to rush for immediate gains.
However, this time was a great opportunity for Qin Yan to shine, and as her subordinate, he had to shoulder the responsibility without fail and overcome all difficulties to get the job done.
"Chen Feng, I see your loyalty. Don't worry, the position of vice town chief in charge of the economy is definitely yours. Now, I'll take you to the hospital. Look how much you're bleeding from your chest."
Qin Yan said with concern.
"Town Chief Qin, you really don't need to. These are just superficial wounds; I'll be fine after a rest."
Chen Feng spoke the truth.
To show that he was not seriously injured, Chen Feng even performed a set of traditional martial arts routines for Qin Yan.
"Chen Feng, since you're unharmed, then I won't be polite. Quickly go wash up a bit and then come with me to meet someone from higher up."
Qin Yan said mysteriously.
