Sanmiao Village fell under the jurisdiction of Bluestone Town, and as the mayor of Bluestone Town, Lou Kunshan definitely knew the County Public Security Director. However, the appearance of Tang Guowei puzzled him:
Why is he here? And in a police uniform, could it be that he's here to arrest someone?
While Lou Kunshan was bewildered, Tang Guowei had already opened the rear door of the business van. An old man stepped out, and Lou Kunshan immediately thought that Tang Guowei was not here on official business, but for the celebration ceremony. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought an old man with him. This old man looked quite familiar as if Lou Kunshan had seen him somewhere before.
Noticing the similarity between the old man's appearance and Tang Guowei, he instantly determined that the old man was Tang Guowei's father, Tang Mingyuan, also the former deputy head of Huagui County.
No way! Could this father and son pair really have come for Wang Xiaoqiang? Or does Wang Xiaoqiang have connections with the Tang Family?
As Lou Kunshan contemplated in astonishment, he saw Wang Xiaoqiang already approaching the Tangs to greet them.
Handshakes, cordial exchanges, the demeanor on both sides seemed so heartfelt and natural. Judging by their expressions, the relationship between them was clearly very good. Moreover, Wang Xiaoqiang only shook hands with Tang Mingyuan and did not shake hands with Tang Guowei.
Even though he was the County Public Security Director, a standing committee member of the county party, and held an extremely powerful position in Huagui County, where he went, he was always warmly welcomed with handshakes and greetings. But when it came to Wang Xiaoqiang, it was as though he was treated indifferently.
What was even more bizarre was that Tang Guowei didn't show any anger, but instead showed an extra level of respect toward Wang Xiaoqiang.
Eventually, the Tangs presented a plaque to Wang Xiaoqiang.
Lou Kunshan was shocked, afraid, and regretful!
If Wang Xiaoqiang had a connection with the Tang Family, that was not someone he, Lou Kunshan, could afford to offend. On the contrary, it was too late to try to ingratiate himself with them, but now he was doing something that would offend Wang Xiaoqiang...
Just then, a white Chevrolet hurriedly arrived. When the car stopped, a striking woman in police uniform stepped out. The bars and stars on her uniform indicated she was not an ordinary officer and seemed to have a rank not lower than others. Could she also be connected to Wang Xiaoqiang?
As Lou Kunshan grappled with his suspicions, Wang Xiaoqiang, who had been speaking with the Tangs, went to greet the policewoman. They shook hands with a smile, and after the handshake, she even straightened Wang Xiaoqiang's tie. They looked intimate, like a couple. Tang Guowei, upon seeing the policewoman, rushed over with a look of surprise and greeted, "Ah, Chief Xu, what a pleasant surprise!"
No way?! Another chief, and her rank seems not lower than Tang Guowei's!
This woman was none other than Xu Qingxue. Xu Qingxue brought a flower basket as her offering.
Xu Qingxue and Tang Guowei were thinking along the same lines; they were here naturally to boost Wang Xiaoqiang's prestige, so they unusually dressed in their uniforms for the occasion.
Seeing this, Lou Kunshan felt a surge of insecurity and a trickle of sweat appeared on his forehead. At that moment, Xu Erpa suddenly blurted out thoughtlessly, "Wow, that's a fancy car, a Porsche..."
Upon hearing this, Lou Kunshan looked and saw, indeed, a red Porsche Cayenne coming down the road that looked luxurious and dazzling. With his heart filled with insecurity and his curiosity getting the better of him, Lou Kunshan, who had intended to slip away, stayed to see who the owner of the car was.
A woman dressed in a cowboy outfit for the summer got out from the driver's side. She then walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door, and an approximately forty-year-old woman stepped out. With a glowing complexion and a dignified and luxurious air, she was slightly older but her mature charm immediately attracted the attention of many men present.
This woman was none other than Zhong Ping.
Xu Erpa covertly licked his lips, but what really caught his attention was the sight of the voluptuous, snow-white thighs exposed under the woman's step-in skirt, which made him drool.
Meanwhile, Lou Kunshan was in no mood to drool; upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang approach the woman, she gave him a flirtatious smile, and then, the two of them actually held hands in public. They seemed as close as siblings but also appeared to be lovers.
"Cousin-in-law, let's go. We'll find a way to deal with Wang Xiaoqiang later; let's see if he still can be so pompous..." Seeing the glamorous Zhong Ping holding hands with Wang Xiaoqiang intimately, Xu Erpa felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred, and resolved to punish Wang Xiaoqiang severely.
"Punish my ass!" Lou Kunshan, seeing Xu Erpa cluelessly misunderstanding the situation, smacked him hard on the head and said, "Haven't you seen who Wang Xiaoqiang knows? They are either officials or rich. You punish him? We'd be lucky if he didn't punish us. Remember, never provoke him from now on, otherwise, you'll be waiting to end up in jail, and I won't be able to save you!"
Xu Erpa shrank back, looking dumbfounded.
With all the guests present and the villagers also there, the opening ceremony officially began. Several key guests cut the ribbon, and there was applause and cheers all around. Liu Mingshan acted as the host of the ceremony, running the entire event,
But today, Liu Mingshan presided over the event with much less confidence compared to the last at the school building inauguration, because the guests who attended today were all wealthy, influential people with significant backgrounds, from the county or the provincial capital, as evident by the uniforms they wore. And there was a socialite, whose luxury car and demeanor spoke volumes.
Although Liu Mingshan was feeling nervous, he maintained his composure and concluded the event without any issues. From beginning to end, he did not see Lou Kunshan and Xu Erpa again.
However, Liu Mingshan did not bother to consider these two at all anymore.
