239: Chapter 239 Zhang Xiaogang, the "International Director"

October 1st, National Day.

Early in the morning, Qin Chuan arrived at the Wanshun County train station exit. He didn't bring anyone with him, wasn't wearing his administrative jacket, and had even given his secretary, Xia Hai, the day off.

At first glance, he looked no different from any ordinary young man; no one would ever imagine that this was actually a County Party Secretary.

Because of the National Day holiday, the area around the train station was very lively and crowded with people coming and going, even though it was only just past seven in the morning.

A short while later, Qin Chuan saw a familiar figure.

Zhu Qingxi was dragging a suitcase and walking out of the station. A young man was following close beside her, trying to curry favor, but Zhu Qingxi wore a cold expression and ignored him completely.

The young man clearly wasn't going to give up and kept following her.

"Beauty, this is your first time in Wanshun County, right? I'm a local and know this place well. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I know a great breakfast spot near the station. I'll take you there, how about it?"

"Let me help you with your luggage."

"..."

Zhu Qingxi frowned; this guy was so annoying.

He had been looking for opportunities to chat her up on the train. She thought she had finally gotten rid of him after getting off, but she never imagined he would still be sticking to her like chewing gum.

Fortunately, Zhu Qingxi had already spotted Qin Chuan. She couldn't help but feel relieved and quickened her pace.

The young man chased after her, "Beauty, slow down, wait for me!"

Zhu Qingxi's pace quickened even more, almost breaking into a trot, as she happily threw herself into Qin Chuan's arms.

"Brother Chuan, I've finally seen you. I've missed you so much."

Holding his girlfriend's slender, soft waist, Qin Chuan was also full of joy. "I've missed you too. Come on, let me take your suitcase."

Just as he took the suitcase, the young man caught up with a provocative look on his face. "Beauty, is this your boyfriend? He's nothing special."

"Let me introduce myself. My dad is the boss of Wanfa Group, the biggest real estate company in Wanshun County. My name is Wan Jun, and I'm a sophomore at Jiangnan Institute of Technology."

Zhu Qingxi looked at him with annoyance. "What does that have to do with me?"

Qin Chuan stepped in to protect his girlfriend. "Did you hear her? Don't bother us again. My girlfriend finds you annoying. Get out of our sight immediately."

Wan Jun actually threatened, "Kid, I admire your courage. You dare to talk to me like that even after knowing my dad is the chairman of Wanfa Group?"

This was interesting.

He had only come to pick up his girlfriend, and somehow, he was being threatened by a small fry.

Qin Chuan certainly knew about Wanfa Group. He had heard that their chairman had tried to visit him several times but had been rejected.

Qin Chuan generally kept his distance from those businessmen and big bosses in society, unlike some officials who mingled closely with them.

This Wanfa Group was a local enterprise in Wanshun County, mainly involved in real estate. Not long ago, they had acquired a piece of land and started a housing project.

Because of the large-scale mining at the Jigong Mountain Gold Mine and the construction of the Shenlong Automotive Group's new energy vehicle factory in Wanshun County, Wanshun County was developing rapidly, and commercial housing had become a necessity for many people.

Within a few months, one housing project after another had started construction in Wanshun County, and Wanfa Group was one of those real estate companies.

To think he was being threatened by a small fry.

Qin Chuan gave a cold smile. "Go back and tell your dad my name is Qin Chuan."

Wan Jun was just about to retort, "Who the hell are you?"

At this moment, someone nearby excitedly greeted Secretary Qin Chuan.

"You are Secretary Qin! It really is Secretary Qin Chuan!"

"Hello, Secretary Qin Chuan!"

"Secretary Qin, is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"

This was the train station, with people coming and going, so it was normal to be recognized. As the first person recognized Qin Chuan, more and more people around realized that this was the County Party Secretary.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly. Seeing that the commotion was getting a bit big, he immediately took Zhu Qingxi's hand with one hand and dragged the suitcase with the other, leaving quickly.

Wan Jun was stunned.

After coming to his senses, he grabbed a man nearby. "Bro, who was that just now? Why did you call him Secretary Qin?"

The man looked at Wan Jun with disdain and mocked, "Are you even from our Wanshun County? You don't even recognize the County Party Committee's Secretary Qin Chuan?"

What!

He is the County Party Secretary!!!

Soon, Wan Jun's face turned a bit pale. He had actually been so suicidal just now, not only harassing the County Party Secretary's girlfriend but also threatening him.

He was on the verge of tears.

With trembling hands, he took out his phone and dialed his father's number. "Dad, I'm in trouble, boohoo..."

He was just a small fry; Qin Chuan didn't take it to heart. After leaving quickly, he took Zhu Qingxi to have breakfast first and then arranged a room for her at the Wanshun Hotel.

The next few days belonged entirely to their rare time together.

The two were no different from other couples deeply in love—shopping, buying things, watching movies, and even visiting nearby scenic spots.

Interestingly, that same morning, Qin Chuan received an apology call from the boss of Wanfa Group.

However, Qin Chuan just said a few simple words and hung up. He figured Wan Jun would be beaten to death by his father—if not killed, he would at least be skinned alive.

After playing in Wanshun County for two or three days, they also went to some scenic spots in nearby counties and cities, and today, they had even arrived in Ningzhou City.

As a prefecture-level city, and one of the more prominent ones in Jiangnan Province, its prosperity and liveliness were incomparable to Wanshun County.

The conditions for dining and accommodation were much better; not only were there many local delicacies, but there was also the only five-star hotel in the city.

Since they were in Ningzhou City, they naturally had to stay at the best hotel.

There was no need to worry about violating any disciplinary principles because he was paying out of his own pocket, so there was absolutely no public reimbursement.

Today, after the two had wandered around the city and returned, they walked into the hotel's lobby and saw that there were actually a lot of people.

In particular, there were quite a few media reporters carrying cameras, seemingly waiting for some big shot.

Qin Chuan was just slightly startled, finding it a bit unexpected, but he didn't take it to heart. Holding Zhu Qingxi's hand, the two walked into the hotel lobby, chatting and laughing.

Soon, a motorcade drove up, and a large group of people got out of the cars. The hotel's security guards even formed a human wall to prevent others from getting close.

With this setup, someone who didn't know any better might think some head of state had arrived.

Surrounded like stars around the moon was a famous domestic director, Zhang Xiaogang.

Although he had absolutely no reputation internationally and was only famous domestically, he called himself an "International Great Director" and walked with an incredibly arrogant swagger.

Perhaps some fans had gotten the news in advance and were waiting at the hotel entrance; seeing Zhang Xiaogang's figure, they became a bit excited.

One fan even squeezed over and shouted loudly, "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, hello! Can I shake your hand?"

Zhang Xiaogang gave him one word, shot him an annoyed look, and then said, "Get lost!"

Damn it, who are you and who am I? Do you deserve to shake my hand?

After that one "Get lost," Zhang Xiaogang walked into the hotel lobby, surrounded by a group of people.

This was a five-star hotel, and it was the National Day holiday, so there were quite a few guests in the lobby.

"Move, move!"

Zhang Xiaogang's assistant shouted loudly, even rudely pushing aside some people who were in the way.
