462: Chapter 461 The Director Personally Signed, and Everything Went Green.

This person was none other than the head of the Civil Aviation Administration, Director Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was not part of the Qin Family faction, but he was a man of the Chen Family, having been personally promoted by the old master of the Chen Family.

A mere director under the Civil Aviation Administration dared to demand Brother Chuan treat him to dinner? He must have had the nerve—who gave him such audacity?

Chairman Chen Zhixun's heart stirred, and he simply decided to invite Zhang Yue out for dinner. The location was the restaurant diagonally opposite the Civil Aviation Administration. Those dining there were all leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration, at least deputy directors; any one of them held a higher rank than this Director Tan.

Feeling that the time was right, Chairman Chen Zhixun mentioned that Qin Chuan was also dining in this restaurant and that he wanted to go over and offer a toast.

Zhang Yue's heart stirred.

Both were at the level of human elites; naturally, they understood immediately.

If Young Master Chen was personally going over to offer a toast, then he certainly had to go as well.

The Beijing Chen Family had deep roots and significant influence within the Civil Aviation Administration. Zhang Yue was part of the Chen Family faction, and he knew clearly that the Chen Family was now backed by the Qin Family and developing well. If he could become familiar with Qin Chuan, it would only bring him immense benefits.

"Let's go, let's go, we'll all go over." Zhang Yue said this while holding his wine glass.

Thus, the scene that just occurred unfolded: Chairman Chen Zhixun brought a large group of Civil Aviation Administration leaders over to offer a toast, which nearly terrified Director Tan and his group.

He hurriedly stood up, holding his wine glass, hoping to have a drink with Zhang Yue, the number one leader and his immediate superior.

As a result, the man didn't even give him the time of day.

Zhang Yue only had eyes for Qin Chuan.

Chairman Chen Zhixun further introduced, "Brother Chuan, this is Director Zhang of the Civil Aviation Administration."

Zhang Yue modestly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and proactively extended his right hand, "Secretary Qin, hello, I am Zhang Yue from the Civil Aviation Administration."

Qin Chuan shook his hand and said happily, "Director Zhang, I originally planned to visit you tomorrow. I didn't expect us to meet ahead of schedule."

Zhang Yue said, "Secretary Qin, you are too kind, you are too kind."

The word "visit" was too polite; he really did not dare to accept such honor.

Chairman Chen Zhixun took the opportunity to remind him, "Director Zhang, Dongjiang City is preparing to build a civil airport. Brother Chuan came to the capital in person to process the approval procedures."

Zhang Yue understood immediately. At this moment, his gaze finally fell upon Director Tan and the others. So, Qin Chuan had invited them to dinner for the sake of the approval procedures.

The faces of Director Tan and the others turned a bit pale, and cold sweat was almost breaking out.

Their speech became a bit shaky, "Di... Director Zhang, I... I..."

He stammered "I" for a long time without being able to say anything else.

Zhang Yue gave him a look that said "you better behave yourself," then spoke warmly to Qin Chuan, "Secretary Qin, for such a major matter as building an airport, our Civil Aviation Administration strongly supports it. There is no problem on our end."

Since the head of the Civil Aviation Administration had made his stance clear in front of so many people, there would be no further issues with the approval from the Civil Aviation Administration.

Vice Mayor Cheng Yuzhu and Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun were overjoyed.

Especially Vice Mayor Cheng Yuzhu, who had followed Deputy Secretary Zhou Nan to the capital several times. Each time, she had to beg and plead, acting like a lowly servant. Even though she was a deputy department-level cadre, she was often manipulated by some division-level or even section-level cadres.

Now it was fine; there were no more problems with the Civil Aviation Administration.

Qin Chuan was also happy in his heart, "Director Zhang, then I thank you on behalf of the people of Dongjiang City."

"Secretary Qin, you are too polite. This is what we should do, and it is our duty."

Both sides exchanged polite greetings, introduced each other, and shook hands one by one. The leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration stepped forward one by one to clink glasses with Qin Chuan, each one more respectful and humble than the last.

Seeing this scene, Director Tan's face turned even paler.

He really wanted to excuse himself and leave immediately, but with all the leaders present, how could he sneak away? Standing there, he felt awkward no matter what he did.

Finally, Zhang Yue and the others left, promising once again that there would be no issues with the Civil Aviation Administration's approval and that he would personally handle and sign it first thing tomorrow morning.

The private room quieted down.

Everyone's gaze turned toward Director Tan.

His face turned even paler. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, nearly crying, "Secretary Qin, I'm sorry, I... I deserve to die, please forgive me!"

Qin Chuan wore a mocking expression, "Director Tan, sit down. Let's continue drinking; there is plenty of moutai tonight."

How could he dare to drink anymore?

He nearly knelt down, and he had long since dared not sit in the seat of honor. He pleaded, "Secretary Qin, you are a magnanimous person. Just treat me like a fart and let me go."

Qin Chuan's expression turned serious, and he warned, "Tomorrow, you go and acknowledge your mistake to Director Zhang yourself. How he handles it is his business. Remember, from now on, do not make things difficult for people coming from below just because you have a little power in your hands, and especially do not demand bribes or kickbacks."

"Yes, yes," Director Tan said, "I will go to the bureau first thing tomorrow morning to admit my mistake."

Qin Chuan waved his hand, "Get out. We don't want to see you; don't ruin our meal."

Director Tan bowed and scraped, apologizing as he slunk away in disgrace.

Seeing them leave, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of relief and satisfaction.

Qin Chuan waved his hand, "Come, let's not waste this; let's continue our meal."

With so many sumptuous dishes, they hadn't even finished half; it would be a pity to waste them. Everyone drank and ate while chatting happily, and bursts of hearty laughter rang out from time to time.

Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun even raised his glass, looking full of admiration, "Secretary Qin, I don't admire anyone, but I only admire you. This vent of frustration was truly satisfying!"

After saying this, he downed a full glass of wine in one breath.

Vice Mayor Cheng Yuzhu added, "Secretary, seeing this Director Tan get deflated feels so good. Thank you, Secretary, for venting this anger for us."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone finally left.

The next day.

Qin Chuan took everyone to the Civil Aviation Administration in person.

Originally, Qin Chuan didn't need to come in person; Vice Mayor Cheng Yuzhu and Secretary-General Tian Chaoqun would have sufficed. But since Zhang Yue's attitude was so good and he gave him so much face, if someone respects him by a foot, he would return it by a yard.

Early on, Zhang Yue had arranged for an assistant to the director to wait enthusiastically at the main entrance with several people. When both sides met, they shook hands happily, and then, led by this assistant, they entered the elevator and arrived at the reception room that had been prepared long ago.

Zhang Yue was already in the reception room with several bureau leaders. Seeing Qin Chuan and the others enter, he took the initiative to stand up and welcome them; this attitude was exceptionally warm.

Vice Mayor Cheng Yuzhu had been to the Civil Aviation Administration twice before and had never received such treatment. She even felt a sense of unreality in her heart, and the look of admiration in her eyes as she gazed at Qin Chuan grew even stronger.

The entire process went very smoothly.

The approval needed from the Civil Aviation Administration for Dongjiang City to build an airport was given a green light all the way. At noon, Zhang Yue enthusiastically hosted a banquet to politely entertain Qin Chuan and the others.

Those who didn't know might have thought the Civil Aviation Administration was the one asking something of Dongjiang City, when in reality, it was Dongjiang City that had come to the Civil Aviation Administration to get things done. Such treatment was truly unparalleled.
