Chapter 562 -562: Well-Known Entrepreneur
County Chief Chi was right; the county television station’s broadcast was as follows, “Our county held a contract signing ceremony for leasing a large tract of forest land, totaling XXXXX acres, with the agreement amounting to X.X billion yuan. The funds from the agreement will include, but are not limited to, tree planting, road construction…”
“The county committee and government believe that the signing of this project will benefit our county’s industrial transformation and tourism development…”
In short, Feng Jun’s name wasn’t even mentioned; it was just the county promoting itself.
Given to someone with an overactive imagination, after watching this disjointed news report, they might even think it was about money laundering.
What Chi Zhijie didn’t understand was this— he knew Feng Jun didn’t have a company, at least Feng Jun had said so, and therefore the contract signed was for a personal lease of forest land.
When the city television station broadcasted the news, they even gave Feng Jun a close-up shot. Then how should this lease agreement be explained? Declaring it as a personal lease?
Moreover, here’s a common sense: This is news from Chaoyang County, whether it can get on the city television news is another story. And the footage provided to the city station comes from the county station itself.
Chi Zhijie had already arranged for the television station to send the edited footage directly to the city station – in that video, Feng Jun didn’t even have a front-facing shot, so where did the close-up come from?
He made a call to the city television station, and then he found out that there had been an unexpected turn of events there.
Initially, this piece of news might not even have made it onto today’s broadcast— the city television station usually reports news from the city proper, featuring activities attended by city leaders or various matters from city departments and commissions. County news… really depended on luck.
But this particular news piece from Chaoyang had caught the city committee Propaganda Department’s attention; their leaders spoke out— such a significant lease agreement was breaking news. They complained about the lack of footage and asked what the Chaoyang Propaganda Department was doing.
The Propaganda Department is under the authority of the county committee, so the relevant instructions came down through a different channel.
However, the pitiful fact is that the television station is subject to dual leadership; it is under the administration of both the government’s broadcast authorities and the party committee’s Propaganda Department.
Once Chi Zhijie heard this, he understood that Secretary Lou had stirred up trouble.
But he was still a bit puzzled— No, I have to watch the news, see how you’ve introduced Feng Jun.
The city television station’s news was indeed watertight, “This afternoon, our city’s renowned entrepreneur President Feng, signed a comprehensive contract with Chaoyang County government to lease barren hills…”
Renowned entrepreneur… Chi Zhijie slapped his forehead and laughed helplessly; that’s right, one doesn’t need to have a company’s name to be called an entrepreneur.
Then he furrowed his brows: Mentioning Feng Jun first and then Chaoyang County government, the order of precedence… there was a problem.
So, he didn’t rush to reply to President Feng but decided to make a call to Secretary Lou first to find out what was going on.
President Feng had not yet arrived home and was just about to turn onto the old street when Dou Jiahui’s mobile phone rang.
With a few vague responses, Dou Jiahui glanced at Feng Jun, his eyes full of sympathy, “You’d better not go back, there’s quite a crowd at your door… I heard that our elementary school’s Teacher Kang is there too.”
Feng Jun was taken aback, then pulled out a cigarette and lit it leisurely, “The music teacher?”
“Never mind what kind of teacher she is,” Dou Jiahui tugged at him, directly turning to walk towards the opposite street, “You can’t go home now, let’s lay low until this blows over.”
At some point, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the three of them walked on the chill, gloomy street.
Dou Jiahui held an umbrella alone, Li Xiaobin was using another umbrella, and she tried to shelter Feng Jun from the rain, but Feng Jun pushed the umbrella back, “I don’t need an umbrella.”
And so, there was one man walking in the rain without an umbrella, flanked by a man and a woman, both holding umbrellas.
Actually, Feng Jun quite liked this carefreeness and… transcendence. He offhandedly said, “Er Pang, I heard from the television station this afternoon, hasn’t the fairy been transferred out yet?”
“Yao Jing, huh,” Dou Jiahui could only smile wryly, as she had been the dream girl of his youth, an anchor at the county television station.
She married a department head’s son from the Voice National Assets Commission and was supposed to have her connections transferred to the provincial capital.
But he was aware of her actual situation, “It seems the married life is not going well, they might be getting a divorce.”
Feng Jun stopped walking and gave him a look, asking with interest, “Now that you’re successful in your career, ever thought of starting anew?”
He didn’t actually need an answer, for he himself had been terrible in that regard.
“Please, no,” Dou Jiahui jumped at the mention, “I’m making good progress with Lin Xiaojia, all those things from the past… they’re in the past… Aren’t you the same?”
Unnoticed by the two men, Li Xiaobin trailing behind them, the corners of her mouth curled into a bitter smile— ha, men…
While they casually chatted, President Feng’s mobile phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number, local to Yunyuan, so it probably wasn’t a spam call.
He answered the phone, and a resounding voice came through, “President Feng, good to hear from you, it’s Old Lou.”
“Ah, Secretary Lou, how are you,” Feng Jun said with a smile, “You’re being too modest. I really can’t afford it.”
“Haha, it’s just a way of addressing,” Secretary Lou also laughed, “Calling you so late at night, I wanted to explain about the TV news from the city today. The matter was of interest to the municipal committee, and both County Chief Chi and I were kept in the dark…”
He was indeed quite frustrated. The Propaganda Department of the city directly contacted the Propaganda Department of the county, bypassing him, the top official of Chaoyang County entirely.
The people in the county Propaganda Department were also a bit confused. Hearing that the city wanted to vigorously promote today’s signing ceremony and wanted more visual materials, they thought it was a good thing. So, without consulting the main leaders of the county committee, they took the initiative to contact the television station.
No one would have expected Feng Jun to mind his identity exposure so much. If you won five million in the lottery, everyone would consider whether or not to go public, but as the eminent richest man of Chaoyang, making such a big stir in his hometown, could that really be kept secret?
Secretary Lou had no choice. After receiving the call from County Chief Chi, he took the initiative to call and explain.
Of course, Feng Jun would express understanding. The incident had already happened, and the top official of the county had made a special call to explain. Could he afford not to understand? Dare not to understand?
Very tacitly, neither of them mentioned who at the municipal committee was so interested in the matter.
Based on Feng Jun’s guess, it was probably the numero uno of the city, wasn’t it?
Dou Jiahui was shocked by his influence. “Da Pang, you are getting more and more powerful. Secretary Lou called you personally to explain. That’s the big boss of the county.”
If you don’t live in the county town, you don’t know how frightening the top official could be. In ancient times, that was a veritable lord ruling over hundreds of miles!
Even with the Dou Family’s notorious reputation in Chaoyang, they still needed to show enough respect to Secretary Lou.
Li Xiaobin didn’t feel quite the same. She transferred schools at a very young age and had lived in big cities like Shanghai and Zhengyang. She didn’t hold the smalltime hundred-mile lord in much esteem, “What’s so special about that? When provincial level leaders meet Feng Jun, they too have to be polite.”
At the same time, there were others speaking in a similar tone.
Outside the gate of the Feng Family’s courtyard, Duck Neck was squatting on the opposite street with five brothers.
An SUV parked beside them, which they had driven here, but instead of sitting in the car, they squatted on the street getting drenched in the rain.

Several groups of people were standing at the gate, waiting for others to finish talking so that they could go in and speak with Feng Jun’s family.
Among the squatting thugs, a bald man grew impatient, “Brother Bo, isn’t this endless? Why don’t we stop them and go in to speak with Boss Feng’s family first?”
Ku Chao, who was fair-skinned and somewhat handsome, glanced at him, “Er Qiang, don’t stir up trouble.”
“What trouble am I causing?” the bald man glanced back dissatisfiedly, “If it were about queuing, it would be our turn by now. They… the bloody queue-jumpers! I’ve never encountered anyone daring to cut in my line in my whole life!”
Duck Neck glanced at him when he heard this, and spoke coldly, “We are waiting for Feng Jun, who even Hu Changqing doesn’t take seriously. Do you think you’re stronger than Hu Changqing?”
They had made careful inquiries today and found out that Boss Feng was not just strong, but exceptionally strong. Liu Er, who was driven away by Dou Jiahui in Yunyuan City, turned out to be a relative of Hu Changqing!
It was common knowledge that Liu Er had connections, but Duck Neck always thought it was the Dou Family’s formidable reputation that subdued the people behind Liu Er.
But after some thorough investigation, he found out it was Feng Jun who supported Dou Jiahui and even invited the secretary of the city committee leader to the event.
Duck Neck had a passable relationship with Chief Dou and even better connections within the police force. It turned out that those sources told him Feng Jun wasn’t arrogant but exceedingly so; He dared to ignore a summons from Hu Changqing!
In the end, the two of them did meet, but it was arranged to take place at Yunyuan Hotel.
Don’t ask why these junior police officers knew so much. In fact, those ambitious ones, if they really want to inquire, can get similar information quite easily.
Yunyuan Hotel itself was a hotbed of gossip for the Yunyuan officialdom.
After hearing all this, Duck Neck was nearly scared silly. Who was Hu Changqing? How could the people of Yunyuan not know?
Although Hu Changqing had stepped down seven or eight years ago, he still held significant sway in Yunyuan.
Such a figure, even the current leading authority of Yunyuan had to be wary of; making life difficult for a small thug like Duck Neck would be as easy as moving lips together.
Duck Neck clearly recognized the gap between him and Feng Jun. Considering the one-day deadline Feng Jun gave for a response, how could he dare to delay? He went there specifically to wait.
But what he didn’t expect was that the people coming and going from the Feng Family were so numerous, and even more problematic was that Feng Jun wasn’t even there.
So, he could only wait patiently at the gate because he didn’t dare enter the courtyard for fear of irritating Feng Jun.
However, as he waited left and right for Feng Jun with no show, and the 24-hour deadline was about to end, his heart was in turmoil.
After much consideration, he finally gritted his teeth, stood up to go to the car, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number, “Hello, may I speak to President Dou, Dou Jiahui? It’s Duck Neck speaking.”
