69: Chapter 69 A Slap in the Face

Qin Chuan pushed the door open and walked straight in.

Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen was currently berating his precious son.

He was extremely furious.

He had clearly warned him before that Qin Chuan might have a very powerful background, telling him not to eye the Jiucailing Coal Mine and not to offend Qin Chuan.

This was just great; he had completely turned a deaf ear to those words.

Not only did he target the Jiucailing Coal Mine, but he even attacked Qin Chuan. The matter had escalated so much that even the Provincial Public Security Department was alarmed!

Suddenly, Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen saw his office door being pushed open, and a young man with a sneer on his face walked in.

"Who are you!"

"Get out!!!"

He was absolutely fuming. Some blind young brat had actually walked in without even knocking; he really had no sense of rules.

He did not recognize Qin Chuan!

Young Master Fu did recognize him. Upon seeing Qin Chuan, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then questioned with a cold face, "What are you doing here!"

Qin Chuan didn't bother with him. Looking at Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen, he said mockingly, "It seems Vice Mayor Fu doesn't recognize me. Let me introduce myself: I am Qin Chuan, the Party Secretary of Dahe Township."

What!

You are Qin Chuan!

Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen's expression shifted. His face, which had been covered in dark clouds just a moment ago, suddenly cleared up, and he even piled on a smile.

This speed of changing faces was truly an eye-opener.

Having lived two lives and spent so many years in officialdom, this was the first time Qin Chuan had encountered such a situation.

"So it's Little Secretary Qin."

"Please, have a seat, have a seat. I was just scolding my worthless son. It's all a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Qin Chuan sat down casually on the sofa, crossing his legs.

He said jokingly, "Vice Mayor Fu, can you really give me a satisfactory explanation?"

"Definitely, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation," Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen said hurriedly.

The man likely had a direct connection with a certain provincial leader; otherwise, the Provincial Public Security Department wouldn't have acted so quickly.

Although he was a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, he still wasn't much in front of a provincial leader. Besides, he was indeed in the wrong; Young Master Fu's actions were completely indefensible.

Qin Chuan said, "Vice Mayor Fu, your attitude is acceptable, but I don't know if it's heartfelt. How about this: give Young Master Fu a beating first so I can see your sincerity."

Young Master Fu couldn't take it anymore.

He said sharply, "Qin Chuan, don't push your luck! Don't refuse a gesture of goodwill. We aren't pushovers either. If it comes down to it, we'll go down together!"

Qin Chuan looked at him with disdain and slowly shook his head.

"You? You're not qualified."

Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen scolded, "Shut up! Don't say another word."

Being scolded, especially in front of Qin Chuan, made Young Master Fu feel extremely aggrieved. "Dad, I..."

Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen waved him off, cutting him short. "Shut up."

Then, he put on a smiling face again. "Little Secretary Qin, how about this: I'll have my son apologize to you and guarantee he'll never provoke you again. Additionally, we can provide a certain amount of financial compensation."

Qin Chuan smiled. "How much do you plan to compensate?"

Hearing this, Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen was delighted. It was good that he liked money; if it could be solved with money, then nothing was a problem.

Gritting his teeth and considering that the other party might have a provincial leader behind him, Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen made a massive sacrifice. "We can compensate five million. Yes, five million, paid immediately. All we ask is that you turn the page on what happened before."

"Vice Mayor Fu is truly wealthy, offering five million just like that," Qin Chuan said. "However, I'm not interested in money."

Damn it.

Young Master Fu was so angry he almost spat blood. Keep pretending, just keep pretending! Where in the world is someone not interested in money? Big brother, this is five million, not five hundred.

Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen was also stunned, never expecting Qin Chuan to say such a thing.

"Little Secretary Qin, then I'll add another million—no, two million. Seven million in total. And I guarantee that if anything happens in Dongzhou City in the future, I'll help you solve it all."

Qin Chuan smiled and shook his head. "Some problems can't be solved with money. Your son wanted to cripple an arm and a leg; it's simple. You cripple one of his arms and one of his legs, and we can turn the page."

Gradually, Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen's face turned a bit ugly.

He thought to himself, "Damn it, even if you have a provincial leader behind you, if you push things too far, I will fight back. I have provincial leaders supporting me too."

Young Master Fu jumped up even more and shouted, "You named Qin, I think you're dreaming! Do you know where this is? This is the Vice Mayor's Office! Get the hell out of here!"

*Slap!*

Qin Chuan delivered a heavy slap right across Young Master Fu's face. Instantly, his face swelled up at a visible rate, and his mouth was full of blood. It was estimated that several teeth had been knocked out.

"Damn it, who do you think you're talking to? Watch your mouth!"

To slap his son right in the Vice Mayor's Office and in front of Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen—only Qin Chuan would do such a thing!

Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen's face turned completely grim. Knowing the outcome might be a fight to the death, he stopped pretending, and the smile on his face vanished entirely.

"Qin Chuan, good, good, very good."

Heh!

Looking at the exasperated Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen, Qin Chuan said slowly, "Vice Mayor Fu, don't be indignant. You don't have the capital to fight me."

"Take care of yourself. I think your time as Vice Mayor is basically at its end."

Just as he was about to retort, Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen's phone rang.

He suspected Qin Chuan had a direct connection with a provincial leader, so he had already asked someone to investigate Qin Chuan's background.

Finally, there was news.

As soon as the call connected, a voice came through. "Vice Mayor Fu, I've completed the investigation. Qin Chuan is the son of Secretary Qin of the Provincial Party Committee."

What!

The phone in Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen's hand almost slipped.

Qin Chuan's surname was "Qin," and the Provincial Party Secretary's surname was also "Qin," but he had never dared to think in that direction; it was too terrifying.

How could he have known that he truly was the son of Secretary Qin of the Provincial Party Committee?

It's over, it's all over...

Qin Chuan heard the contents of the phone call clearly. He glanced at the dumbfounded Vice Mayor Fu Qiwen, smiled coldly, and walked out of the office.

Having vented his anger and delivered the slap, Qin Chuan returned to Dahe Township.

Not long after he sat down in his office, Ma Zhengnan, Vice Township Head Mu Xiuwen, and Deputy Party Secretary Fu all came in together.

"Secretary, you're back."

The three of them had been on edge, their hearts hanging in suspense.

The Vice Mayor's son had targeted the Jiucailing Coal Mine, and the Secretary had a falling out with him. He was even attacked this morning, likely planned by Young Master Fu, so they were even more worried.

Just now, the three of them had been discussing this, each looking worried about what to do.

What would Young Master Fu do next? Could Secretary Qin Chuan handle it?

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Qin Chuan understood. He laughed heartily. "You guys are just worrying needlessly. Rest assured, I'm fine, and there won't be any trouble in the future."

Really?

Feeling the ease radiating from Qin Chuan, the three of them felt much more relieved.

Qin Chuan said, "You've come at the right time. Let's have a meeting to discuss some work matters."}],
