Chapter 422: Pomp (Part Two)

Li Menglong, the one who was responsible for stimulating Yanjing’s economic development and was also responsible for providing hospitality for the investing giants, was one of the few that reserved the seats earlier. Today, he was already at the place with a few wealthy guests to talk about an investment here, and yet they were told that the whole place was clearing out guests to make room for a group of patrons. The few top-tier businessmen in the country were quite confused and they asked Li Menglong, “We haven’t finished talking about the projects yet, why are we leaving already?”

As a local, Li Menglong knew something was definitely going on. He gestured for the businessmen to calm down and be patient first and then he turned to ask the manager who was asking for them to leave. “Who had this place reserved?’

Before the manager could speak, groups of armed special forces came in to help begin guiding people out of this place, and the whole scene suddenly became a bit exciting to watch. Even Li Menglong’s eyelids jumped. Judging by this pomp, it really looked like the preparation of the Commander-in-Chief coming out to visit.

Immediately, he looked at the three businessmen with him and said, “How about we go to another place?”

At this moment, those businessmen were thinking that it was such a rare opportunity for them to come here, they should at least finish a meal, right?

“Boss, look man, we already sat down and began eating, why do we have to leave now? Isn’t this a bit unreasonable? Besides, we already paid, right?”

The manager said, “Sir, it’s not that we are not letting you guys eat here, but we just have to push back the schedule. We just received a call from General Administration and was told about this arrangement on short notice, and that this whole place will be reserved. Please don’t make this difficult for us.”

He then looked at Li Menglong and said, “Mayor Li, you are an official here, you know we wouldn’t do this unless there really is something important happening.”

Li Menglong nodded. Seeing many of the guests already leaving, he was already planning to leave. And then, especially when the manager mentioned “General Administration”, his face also slightly changed.

“Alright, we will come back another time.” Li Menglong immediately stood up and told the three businessmen, and then the four of them got prepared to leave.
