A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1150

"Secretary He is a busy man holding an important office. I'm just a nobody. I don't deserve his attention at all,” said Ye Fan. He Lan-Shan shook violently when he heard that.

His face turned a deeper shade of pale.

Li Hong-Ze knew what Ye Fan was trying to tell him. The young man disliked He Lan-Shan and didn't trust him. "Since Mr Chu doesn't think that He Lan-Shan can carry out the task properly, why don't we let Wu Wei-Tao handle the investigation instead? This is a chance for him to atone for his mistakes. Would that please you, Mr Chu?"

"Let's not bother. I'll end up being prosecuted for some terrible crime and my whole family clan will end up being sentenced to death. Let Han Dong-Min handle the investigation. He cares deeply for the people and is a just and righteous man. He's the best man to run Jiangdong."

Ye Fan's words had another layer of meaning hidden within them.

He seemed to be advocating for Han Dong-Min to take He Lan-Shan's place in running Jiangdong and heading the Jiangdong provincial government.

"Han Dong-Min? Who might that be?"

Li Hong-Ze worked in the central government and knew little about the officials who worked in the cities.

When it came to Jiangdong, he only knew a few people working in the provincial government.

"He's the deputy mayor of Yunzhou and his authority is second only to Wu Wei Tao's," whispered one of Li Hong-Ze's men.

"Is that so? Well, summon him right away. He must be someone with extraordinary abilities to have gained Mr Chu's approval.

I can't wait to meet him,” said Li Hong-Ze excitedly before he instructed someone to get Han Dong-Min.

"There's no need forthat. I'm right here."

Han Dong-Min raised his hand unsteadily

before Li Hong-Ze could issue his instructions. He had been standing there all along.

"Aha! So you're Dong-Min. A government official's greatest achievement isn't the construction of towering buildings or grand bridges and roads but the winning of their people's hearts. You appear to have won Mr Chu's favor. That alone shows that you are a great leader who is loved and respected by all. Mr Chu has made his recommendation. I shall have you assume Wu Wei-Tao's office temporarily and deal with the mess in Yunzhou.”

What?

Wu Wei-Tao plunged into the depths of despair when he heard what Li Hong-Ze had said.

Li Hong-Ze had just promoted Han Dong-Min. It was obvious that Han Dong-Min was going to replace him as the head of Yunzhou.

There shall be no place for him in Yunzhou in the future.

The revelation devastated Wu Wei-Tao.

Yet there was nothing he could do about it.

He had made a huge mistake and had no idea if he was going to walk out of this alive. He had lost his fight to fight for power.

Everyone expected Han Dong-Min to thank Li Hong-Ze profusely but instead, he turned down the position that the latter had offered him.

"I would be happy to comply with your orders, but I've just been stripped of my office and deployed to the countryside by He Lan-Shan and I'll be leaving tonight. I won't be able to conduct the investigation that you demanded in the village,” said Han Dong-Min as he shook his head.

Blood rained from He Lan-Shan's face when he heard that. He nearly burst into tears.

He cursed inwardly at Han Dong-Min. The man was trying to get him into trouble!

Li Hong-Ze was naturally furious when he heard what Han Dong-Min had said.
