Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 236: [235] Wan Haoren, you've gone too far!

Xie You went straight to Fang Qinghuai and quickly said, "The Chief Executive is preparing to host a banquet for the Grand Chancellor at 7 o'clock tonight. Please have the Fang family prepare a feast of snake soup."

Fang Qinghuai was taken aback, "7 o'clock? So urgent!"

The Chief Executive and the Grand Chancellor are both important figures in this city. It is a great pressure to prepare a banquet for such important guests in just four hours.

Fang Qinghuai immediately realized and said hastily, "I absolutely do not mean to complain about the Chief Executive."

Xie You smiled slightly and spoke politely, "Indeed, it is quite urgent. Please bear with us, but the Chief Executive is a gentle person. Even if there are any oversights, the Chief Executive will not mind."

Fang Qinghuai keenly noticed that this new maid seemed to have changed a bit and was no longer as aggressive as before.

The Lord of Dongyuan didn't have time to think much and decisively said, "I will prepare immediately."

As he turned to leave, Xie You called him back, "Lord, please wait!"

Fang Qinghuai turned back with a puzzled expression.

Miss Xie spoke softly, "Allow me to guess boldly. The Chief Executive is definitely not intentionally making things difficult for the Fang family with this. I guess the Chief Executive has already anticipated that Dongyuan would need to purchase high-end ingredients from other wealthy families and borrow a skilled chef who is good at cooking snake dishes in order to prepare a high-standard feast within four hours."

"In this way, the news of the Chief Executive hosting the Grand Chancellor will definitely spread quickly and be known throughout the city tonight..."

Fang Qinghuai suddenly realized and interjected, "So the Chief Executive is indirectly putting pressure on the Grand Chancellor under the guise of the feast."

"In the highly anticipated situation throughout the city, the Grand Chancellor can only be forced to attend the feast, otherwise he will lose face."

Xie You smiled, "That's also my opinion."

Fang Qinghuai couldn't help but sigh, "Chief Executive Cheng's methods are truly brilliant."

He wanted to say another sentence: Important figures are truly terrifying, with eighteen eyes on every strand of hair.

Fang Qinghuai looked at Xie You again, "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of so much."

Xie You earnestly returned a bow, "You're too kind. It's my duty as a maid of the Fang family, paid by the family."

Fang Qinghuai truly felt that this maid had indeed undergone a noticeable change.

When she was recruited earlier, he had personally chatted with her for a while and knew that although she was good at serving important figures, she was quite proud inside.

However, since his family lacked talent in this area, he had to reluctantly invite her to Dongyuan.

The root cause of this change was self-evident.

It must be related to the Chief Executive.

And in just one day, a maid had become a completely different person. Chief Executive Cheng's ability to train people was truly impressive.

Fang Qinghuai left with deep emotion and hurried steps.

*

Soon after, Dongyuan became chaotic.

Fang Qinghuai quickly sent away all the servants in the family and dispatched them to high-end food stores to search for relevant ingredients.

Not only that.

The master of Dongyuan personally visited his friends and had his wife and daughter separately ask for help from relatives and friends. The purpose was very clear - to borrow manpower, borrow feathered beasts, and buy ingredients.

As long as they can help, no one will be turned away!

As time went on, more and more people participated in the preparation of the feast.

*

Inside a high-end restaurant.

A servant barged in and shouted, "Is the manager here?"

A waiter tried to stop him, saying, "Sorry, it's not business hours now!"

The servant shouted in one breath, "The Chief Inspector and the Chief Secretary have reserved tonight at 7 o'clock to be treated with snake soup at Dongyuan. I heard that your restaurant's chef, Quan Xiaofeng, is good at cooking snake dishes, so I came to invite him."

The waiter was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Is it true or false?"

The servant took a deep breath and asked back, "Am I risking my life? Would I dare to joke about these two important figures?"

The waiter immediately understood that this was a serious matter and said, "Let me take you to find the manager."

After a minute.

Including the servant and the chef, several people hurriedly rushed out of the restaurant carrying ingredients.

The manager kept urging, "This dish, 'Red Horned Panlong,' takes two hours to cook. Speed up!"

After these people left.

The entire restaurant staff were all discussing.

A high-ranking official inviting another high-ranking official to a banquet, actually borrowing the restaurant's chef, and making such a big fuss. This was the first time they had heard of such a strange thing in many years.

*

The Wang family.

The wealthy young man, Qu Mao Kun, rode a feathered beast and rushed into the front yard of the mansion in pouring rain.

Before the mount even stopped, this guy shouted loudly, "Uncle Wang, Dongyuan has a big matter that needs your help."

The servant didn't dare to stop this young master and could only watch him rush into the living room, leaving a dirty footprint on the clean floor.

Ten seconds later.

The head of the Wang family, Wang Yibo, walked down the stairs and curiously asked, "Mao Kun, why are you running errands for the Fang family?"

Qu Mao Kun shook his head, "Uncle Wang, my family did receive a commission from Dongyuan, but I'm not running errands for the Fang family."

Wang Yibo immediately realized, "Chief Inspector Cheng?"

Qu Mao Kun quickly explained the situation and said, "I heard that your family has an extraordinary ingredient called 'Ice Patterned Snake,' and Dongyuan is willing to buy it at a high price."

Wang Yibo waved his hand generously, "Nonsense about a high price! If Chief Inspector Cheng is hosting a banquet, how can I accept money! I'll have the butler send it over immediately!"

If it was the Fang family coming to buy, this family head wouldn't even bother to negotiate. But since it involved the influential Chief Inspector Cheng, he showed great generosity.

Soon.

The butler, accompanied by several servants, quickly stuffed the frozen extraordinary ingredients into the crystal-powered vehicle and drove it out of the gate.

Wang Yibo watched the vehicle disappear, his face filled with curiosity: "This is the first time we've seen the Chief Executive since Director Cheng took office, right?"

Qu Maokun boldly speculated: "Perhaps it's also the last time."

He immediately gave his reason: "When kings meet kings, there is a hundred percent chance of a showdown, with no room for reconciliation between the two sides."

Wang Yibo nodded: "After tonight, it seems that Director Cheng will have complete control over Anhua City."

Qu Maokun had a different opinion: "Since Director Cheng arrived in Anhua City, his voice has always been the loudest."

Between these two people's words, the Chief Executive was completely disregarded.

In the past, this would have been unimaginable.

As the saying goes, "A glimpse of the whole picture," from this small detail, it can be judged that the Chief Executive has completely lost the support of the people.

This is not surprising.

In the recent period, the Dream of the Divine, the Dreamborn Society, and the Divine Language have caused continuous chaos, and the situation has been extremely precarious. Director Cheng, on the other hand, has almost single-handedly stabilized the situation.

In contrast, it is not an exaggeration to describe the Chief Executive as "doing nothing."

Everyone is not blind and can see clearly.

The terrifying Divine Beings have already revived, and who wouldn't want Anhua City to have a strong leader?

*

Winter Garden.

Xie You quickly reported: "The Fang family has confirmed through various contacts that tonight's Snake Soup Banquet will have a total of sixteen dishes, half of which are made with extraordinary ingredients."

The taste of extraordinary ingredients is not necessarily better than ordinary ingredients. The fifty-fifty ratio ensures both a sufficient level and deliciousness.

To be fair, this is a very thoughtful arrangement.

And in such a hasty situation, to gather so many rare ingredients in just one hour, the Fang family has indeed done an impeccable job.

Cheng Han put down a government document and nodded: "Thank them on my behalf!"

Xie You respectfully responded: "Understood!"

Cheng Han thought for a moment and instructed: "There may be a large hailstorm around six o'clock, so inform the Fang family to be prepared."

Xie You replied with a quick "Okay" and quickly pushed the door open and left.

Miss Youwu witnessed firsthand the various miracles of Director Cheng and already believed in the "prophecies" he made.

At this moment.

Right in front of Cheng Han's eyes.

An invisible brilliant halo was suspended in mid-air, displaying a very blurry image in the center.

To its left.

Colorful lights obscured half of the space, and faintly visible were some extremely massive figures.

There is no doubt.

This must be a group of Divine Grade powerhouses from the Wan Hao Clan.

It is worth mentioning that there is a familiar aura mixed among them.

Cheng Han blinked his eyes and muttered to himself, "Did Lan Yun, the God General, also participate in this inter-realm battle?"

On his right side.

Only layer upon layer of super waves, sometimes surging and sometimes calming down, the colors on the surface of the ocean changing, resembling an Impressionist painting.

And beneath the waves, there seemed to be some incredibly massive shadows, quietly lurking within.

These are most likely the Divine Grade powerhouses of the You Miao Realm.

They have discovered the invasion of the Wan Hao Clan and have gathered here to try to resist.

Cheng Han looked at the halo and speculated, "The God Generals and God Lords are probably taking this opportunity to search for the location of the 'Vortex of Tranquility'."

He glanced a few more times and a sense of pride rose in his heart, "It seems that the strength of our Wan Hao Clan is somewhat stronger than that of the You Miao Realm."

This is an easy conclusion to draw.

If the Wan Hao Clan were not strong, how could they dare to wage war across realms?

If the You Miao Realm were stronger, they would have already taken advantage of their home field and attacked.

A smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Han's mouth, "Enjoying a feast of snake soup while watching the God Generals and God Lords beat up that little snake is quite an enjoyable experience."

Five minutes later.

Xie You returned with some new information.

"There is news from the Council of Ministers. After receiving the invitation letter, Prime Minister Bai Yichuan sat alone in his office for more than ten minutes, smashed a chair, and then informed his secretary that he would attend the banquet on time."

Cheng Han smiled with satisfaction, "Good."

Faced with the attention of the entire city, Bai Yichuan had no other choice, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.

And a Prime Minister without any reputation is already a slap in the face to the Xuan Pavilion. Once the Pavilion Master learns of this, he will definitely immediately remove him from office.

Therefore.

Bai Yichuan must attend this grand feast.

Miss You paused for a moment and revealed another piece of gossip, "It is said that Secretary Ding Shulin, after leaving the office, had a black eye on her right side."

Cheng Han shook his head slightly.

At this moment.

The halo suddenly flickered.

An extremely strange voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

This voice carried endless majesty, speaking in an unknown language. Just by listening to it, he could smell the scent of water and see the illusion of the ocean before his eyes.

With just the power of words, it had such an astonishing effect. This must be the language of the gods.

Cheng Han, aided by his All-Knowing Eye, understood this sentence, "Wan Hao people, this is not your world, you have gone too far!"
