Fan Ming was displeased and spoke out: “Wei JueGuang, what’s the meaning of this? I was the one to invite Commander Yue first. Once his meeting with Mayor Wen is done, it wouldn’t be late for you to extend your invitation to Commander Yue.”
Wei JueGuang eyed Fan Ming icily and said, “Secretary General Peng is SY County’s party representative, and the honourable leader of our SY County. After his meeting with Commander Yue has concluded, it wouldn’t be too late for Mayor Wen to talk to him.”
The mayor of SY County was called Wen Baoguo, while the Secretary General was Peng Mingde. These 2 were long-time rivals, and each were in control of a huge portion of SY County. Peng Mingde had single-handedly gained strength and support, forcing Wen Baoguo to a corner. However, he had failed in disciplining his child well; it was precisely his son Peng Ji who had caused the problem with the Evolver, leading to such a huge loss of food.
After the incident with the arson, Peng Mingde had expended all his power to protect his only song Peng Ji. However, his influence and power in SY County suffered as a result, many people threw their votes in with the mayor Wen Baoguo, which led to him rising in power again. Now that Wen Baoguo had a say amongst the people of SY County, his words often held a hint of suppressing Peng Mingde.
Although extending an invitation to Yue Zhong was a small matter, both sides were unwilling to give in this time. In these current days, as long as one side revealed a moment of weakness the other hungry wolves would pounce on the opportunity and rip their throats out. Mostly figuratively speaking of course. Mostly.
If initially, Yue Zhong had bowed towards Shen Xue’s threats and pressure, the whole of Ning Guang County might very well have ended up in her palms.
Fan Ming eyed Wei Jueguang coldly as he laughed towards Yue Zhong: “Commander Yue, Mayor Wen has already prepared a feast to welcome you, there’s even the celebrity Zhou Yanxue performing for you. Mayor Wen is absolutely sincere about making your acquaintance, do consider coming with me!”
