At the entrance of the chemical plant, workers pulled banners and waved flags to welcome Tang Yumeng's arrival. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively and festive. Two huge red hydrogen balloons rose into the sky, pulling a large couplet behind them.

Before Lin Chuan could even alight from the vehicle, the chemical plant's Secretary hurriedly came forward and actively opened the door for Secretary Tang.

"Welcome Secretary Tang for guiding the work at the avant-garde chemical plant." The factory Secretary said excitedly: "This is our factory's pride and glory."

"Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!"

"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

Several hundred workers on the scene immediately shouted out loud, each of them waving ribbons in their hands. At this moment, a few pretty girls rushed out from the crowd, holding flowers in their hands and hurriedly running towards Secretary Tang.

"Secretary Tang, we love you!" Several girls ran over to offer flowers.

Tang Yumeng's face showed a smile.

Lin Chuan stood behind Tang Yumeng, his eyes very vigilant as he observed the surrounding crowd. Secretary Tang was no ordinary person, and besides, with Song Ming in Jiangbei City, Secretary Tang's security could hardly be guaranteed. Lin Chuan was very concerned about Tang Yumeng's safety. The last time when visiting the Drum Tower, there was an arson incident, and the two culprits still haven't been found to this day. Probably they were sent away by Song Ming.

No matter where they were sent, to the ends of the earth, Lin Chuan was firmly determined to find those people, even if they fled to the corners of the world.

Liu Dagu came over excitedly.

"Secretary Tang, you finally made it." Liu Dagu was thrilled.

Seeing him again, Liu Dagu had gained even more weight, his belly's flesh bouncing as he walked, making it look like he was about to topple over. He hurriedly came over to shake hands with Tang Yumeng.

Tang Yumeng hesitated, recalling the last inspection in Wujiang, where this fat man took advantage of her. Could it be that this fat man was planning to take advantage in front of so many people? Not shaking hands would seem too proud and aloof; but shaking hands was also not something she was willing to accept.

"Secretary Liu, you're here too." Lin Chuan quickly stepped forward, he took Liu Dagu's hand and smiled, "You manage countless affairs, and yet you still found time to inspect the avant-garde factory. This is indeed rare, so rare.

"Uh..." Liu Dagu was startled, and by the time he reacted, his hand was already being held by Lin Chuan, he wanted to draw back, but found that Lin Chuan was firmly holding onto his hand, leaving no chance to pull away. Liu Dagu forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, you're here too?"

"With Secretary Tang coming, of course I as the driver must come." Lin Chuan nodded.

At this time, Tang Yumeng smiled slightly, then walked towards the interior of the chemical plant. Lin Chuan then released his hand and cheerfully followed.

Liu Dagu immediately felt a surge of frustration, shaking with anger.

Finally having the opportunity to shake hands with Tang Yumeng, to enjoy her grace, yet Lin Chuan messed it up. Liu Dagu hurriedly followed, and behind him, two assistants quickly said, "Secretary Liu, please slow down, don't walk too quickly to avoid falling."

"Hurry up, Secretary Tang has already gone." Liu Dagu moved his legs and chased after her, out of breath, as if drained of all strength and unable to move.

Lin Chuan quickly closed the distance that would take Liu Dagu an exhausting walk, which seemed to drain all his energy, rendering him immobile.

After repairs, the avant-garde chemical plant looked almost as good as new. The ground was re-cemented, the two collapsed furnaces were rebuilt, and moreover, all the furnaces were now controlled by computers, which added a lot of safety equipment. The advantage of computer control is that in case of fire, the alarm system and automatic fire extinguishing system will be activated immediately. This way, the disasters of the past will not happen again.

Tang Yumeng inspected the avant-garde chemical plant, first inside the factory, then making a round around several furnaces.

The interior of the factory was not bad; after being refurbished, the factory looked brand new, all the operating machines were replaced, shiny and new, and the floor was also very clean. This time, the District Committee's leadership was resolved to make significant reforms to the avant-garde chemical plant, made a great determination, not only did the factory look new, but all safety measures were also overhauled and in place, done very cleanly and efficiently.

The District Committee's leadership accompanied Tang Yumeng inside the factory.

The workers inside the factory lined up to welcome her.

Tang Yumeng walked in front, Liu Dagu and the leaders of the District Committee were accompanying her on the left and right, Xiao Xue kept following beside Tang Yumeng, while Lin Chuan maintained a distance of about two meters from Tang Yumeng. This distance was relatively safe for Lin Chuan, and it was also the limit for Lin Chuan's reaction. Should Tang Yumeng encounter any danger, Lin Chuan could respond instantly and remedy the situation in time.

Of course, for a city secretary to enjoy services that exceed Central South Sea bodyguards, this is indeed the pinnacle of life.

Even the bodyguards of Central South Sea might feel inferior to a Dark Soldier member like Lin Chuan. Within the red walls, how could ordinary senior officials enjoy the protection of Dark Soldier? The Dark Soldier members, originally from the army, had been strained for several years and had sacrificed two of their own. The original team of eight was now down to six. As the team leader, Lin Chuan was now detached from the team, causing the strength of the Dark Soldiers to drop by half in an instant. However, even with half of their strength, they were still a sharp force in the international community. Each member of the Dark Soldiers possessed their own unique skills, with capabilities definitely surpassing any special forces team.

Lin Chuan seemed like a guardian deity, silently protecting Tang Yumeng from the shadows. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, his face grave, he maintained a distance of about two meters from Tang Yumeng and her group. His expression was blank, his eyes occasionally scanning left and right, making sure there were no suspicious people around.

Tang Yumeng was discussing the safety production issues of the factory with a group of leaders.

"No matter what, safety production must always be our top priority," Tang Yumeng earnestly instructed the district committee leaders.

"Yes, yes, yes," the district committee secretary eagerly agreed, saying, "Secretary Tang is right. The safety of the people is the most crucial issue. We, as avant-garde leaders, must always bear this in mind."

"That's right, that's right," everyone nodded in agreement.

After two hours of inspection and tour, the group walked out of the factory.

At this point, the factory leadership hurriedly said, "Secretary Tang, Secretary Liu... I have specially arranged for lunch to be prepared in the cafeteria. Look... everyone has been working for so long, shall we eat first and then continue our work in the meeting room in the afternoon?"

"Oh, it's time for lunch, I'm starving to death," Liu Dagu exclaimed, as his mouth started to water.

Tang Yumeng glanced at her watch, it was just past eleven, not even half past. However, seeing how hungry Liu Dagu was, she found it difficult to refuse and nodded, "Alright, since everyone is hungry, I won't decline. Let's have lunch first, and continue working in the afternoon."

"Great," everyone agreed nodding.

The "cafeteria" turned out to be a table laden with food packed from the most luxurious hotel in Jiangbei City. Several bottles of mineral water were placed on the table.

The district committee leaders escorted Tang Yumeng inside.

"Secretary Tang, please, this way," the district committee secretary hurriedly beckoned with a smile.

"Hmm," after Secretary Tang took her seat, everyone else also seated themselves.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to enter, Liu Dagu blocked the doorway, seemingly seizing the opportunity to get back at Lin Chuan. He grinned and jeered, "Kid, there is no seat for you here. A driver like you wants to eat with the leaders?"

"And if I do?" Lin Chuan removed his sunglasses, his eyes sharp as he looked at Liu Dagu.

"There, that cafeteria is for drivers to eat," Liu Dagu glanced over to the door on his left, saying, "Drivers and assistants eat over there. This door isn't for just anyone to enter."

"What if I insist on eating here today?" Lin Chuan asked with a disdainful smile.

"Ho, young but not modest, I see," Liu Dagu snorted coldly, "This is not a place you can come into."

At this moment, a charming voice called out, "Lin Chuan, sit here."

The crowd turned to look, and to their surprise, it was Tang Yumeng speaking. Tang Yumeng pointed to a spot on her left. The seating at the table was arranged according to the hierarchy of positions. Among those present, Tang Yumeng held the highest position, so she took the chair of honor, with seats to her left and right second and third in precedence. Liu Dagu should have been seated to the left of Tang Yumeng, but she instructed Lin Chuan to sit on her left. Liu Dagu immediately became anxious.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Chuan gave a gentle push on Liu Dagu's shoulder, secretly applying more force.

"Ouch..." Liu Dagu instantly stepped back, stumbling and landing squarely on his backside.

With his back to everyone and his large size completely blocking their view, no one could see Lin Chuan pushing Liu Dagu. Feeling indignant but unable to express it in front of Tang Yumeng, Liu Dagu had no choice but to swallow his anger. Struggling mightily, he was unable to get up from the ground on his own. Fortunately, two district committee leaders quickly rushed to help him up.

"Secretary Liu, are you alright?" they asked.

"No... no problem," Liu Dagu shook his head, while inside, myriad "grass mud horses" were thundering in rage. His eyes furiously glared at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, however, sat down next to Tang Yumeng with a composed and serene smile on his face.

Although the table was large, the seating was set up according to the number of people. Now that Lin Chuan had taken a seat, there was no place left for Liu Dagu, who was getting anxious. Awkwardly, he said to Tang Yumeng, "Secretary Tang, look, I...I..."

"We don't have many people; let's add a seat," Tang Yumeng said with a calm smile.

Soon after, a dining hall auntie brought over a red plastic stool. Liu Dagu looked at the red plastic stool with resentment, feeling both awkward and dejected. Everyone else had seats like sofa chairs, only he had to sit on such a shabby stool, feeling utterly aggrieved.
