Chapter 310 Conflicts on the Island

The meal went very smoothly.

The midday sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and into the restaurant of this hotel on Jeju Island.

The round table was covered with a crimson tablecloth, and even the cutlery was rimmed with gold, shining brightly.

Li You was wearing a neat suit, and the color of his tie matched the rose petals on the table.

The officials of Jeju City were dressed very formally, and they all looked expectant, knowing that this cooperation would bring new development opportunities to Jeju Island and pave the way for their future.

The exquisite delicacies on the table did not attract the officials' attention. Their attention was all on Li You.

Zhang Dacheng stood up, raised his glass, and said with a smile, "Let us welcome President Li together."

The officials raised their glasses.

The small talk became boring after a while, and just when we were about to get down to business, Zhang Dacheng's phone rang at an inopportune time.

Zhang Dacheng frowned and glanced at them, his eyes showing some anger. He apologized to the people present with a forced smile, "I'll excuse myself for a moment."

After Zhang Dacheng left, their conversation did not end. Instead, the officials from Jeju Island became more enthusiastic. After all, Jeju Island is really a poor and remote place now, and they have finally managed to climb up to Li You, a high official in Seoul.

"Chairman Li," Mayor Jiang Changyuan smiled warmly, "on behalf of our colleagues in Jeju City, we welcome you again."

"Thank you, Mayor Jiang," Li You replied with a smile, "Mayor Jiang is too polite. Our Kinmen Group is also optimistic about these development projects in Jeju Island. I believe that our cooperation will be successful."

"Of course, of course," Mayor Jiang said cheerfully, "I heard that Chairman Li has a good relationship with Minister Park of the Culture and Entertainment Department?"

Li You smiled and said, "After all, we have Golden Gate Entertainment, and we need to rely on Minister Park for many things."

Mayor Jiang smiled and said, "Chairman Li is too modest. With Chairman Li's words, I feel relieved."

He drank a glass of wine and said, "In the current economic environment, the Jeju City Government cannot develop things like film and television cities privately. They still have to report to the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment."

Li You thought about it and understood what Mayor Jiang meant. He was also afraid that the credit would be taken away by Minister Park, so he was reminding Li You implicitly.

"Mayor Jiang, don't worry," Li You comforted him, "Minister Park is a very stable person."

Mayor Jiang laughed heartily and felt relieved. Whether he could be transferred to the local area depended on his political achievements.

Zhang Dacheng was also very anxious, but he had no choice. With a frown on his face, he walked hurriedly and heavily, as if he was dragging a bag of wet straw.

As soon as Zhang Dacheng left the hotel where the dinner was held, he rushed to the hotel managed by Dayou, which was the hotel where the incident happened last night.

Dayou's younger brother died yesterday. Zhang Dacheng took great efforts to persuade Dayou to give up the idea of ​​returning to Japan for revenge.

As a result, Hanada, who had just returned to Japan not long ago, came back again today.

When Zhang Dacheng arrived at the hotel in the car driven by Huangmao, he looked up and saw Dayou standing at the door of the hotel with a face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

It seemed like they were blocking the hotel door and not letting people inside out.

Zhang Dacheng's footsteps echoed hurriedly on the marble floor of the hotel. He wanted to step into the lobby quickly but was pulled back by Dayou.

The hotel lobby used to be a place with bright lights and bustling voices, but now there are only a few echoes of fear and scattered chairs.

Zhang Dacheng's breathing was rapid and shallow. He turned back to look at Dayou, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to be rational? Did you know that there are guests here?"

Dayou lowered his head and let Zhang Dacheng scold him.

But when Zhang Dacheng wanted to take a step forward, Dayou stopped him again and said, "President, we and they have already opened fire."

"They are here to apologize!" Zhang Dacheng patted his head, "The Hualing Society has already called us!" "They killed someone," Dayou shook his head, insisting on his own morality, "Paying compensation alone is useless."

"At least the person who fired the shot will die."

Looking at the stubborn Dayou in front of him, Zhang Dacheng felt for the first time that "morality" was such nonsense.

But he didn't dare to go in now, as he was afraid that the people from Hualing Society inside had lost their minds and he would be shot if he went in.

"Shit." Zhang Dacheng cursed irritably and called Nomura, the president of Hualing Society again. "Nomura, what do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

"Your people are now inside my hotel with guns, refusing to come out to negotiate."

"My people?" Nomura frowned. "The Hanada Group under Nakata?"

Zhang Dacheng spat and looked at Dayou. After seeing Dayou nod, he replied, "It's them."

"Shouldn't be the case," Nomura said, looking somewhat puzzled. "I clearly told them so."

His tone changed, "It is very likely that it was instigated by Xiye. He wants to provoke internal fighting among us."

In fact, Nomura didn’t know what was going on. After all, Zhang Dacheng didn’t tell the truth. But no matter what, he decided to put the blame on his opponent first.

Zhang Dacheng and Li You mentioned Nomura before. He is the son-in-law of the former chairman and the current president.

The reason why the Hanabishi-kai was in internal turmoil was because there was always someone who was dissatisfied with Nomura. This person was the former second-in-command of the Hanabishi-kai, Nishino.

Nomura now suspects that Hanada, one of Nakata's men, has defected to Nishino.

Nomura's eyes were fierce, "President Zhang, wait a moment, I'll ask Nakata."

Today is not a holiday, and the city government officials are still quite busy. Of course, it is impossible for them to chat with Li You for too long.

They waited for Zhang Dacheng for a long time but no one showed up, and their faces looked a little grim.

"Chairman Li," Mayor Jiang smiled awkwardly, "Chairman Zhang may have something urgent, so..."

"It's okay," Li You's face was calm, but the calmer he was, the more panicked Mayor Jiang became.

Mayor Jiang said sternly, "I will definitely find Chairman Zhang and apologize to you in person. He was so rude."

Li You nodded calmly, "In that case, I will go back to the hotel first. Whether President Zhang comes or not, our inspection will proceed as usual tomorrow."

"Okay, definitely."

Li You hurried back to the hotel room, frowned and told Quan Zaijun, "Send someone over."

"President Nim, what are you doing..." Quan Jae-jun's eyes became serious.

Li You looked out the window at the darkening sky and said, "I'm afraid Jeju Island is not peaceful."

He saw the expression on Zhang Dacheng's face before he left, and was afraid that he would die just as Zhang Dacheng did.

But it’s better this way. Although the underground forces on Jeju Island will fall into chaos for a certain period of time, as long as we act fast enough, Jeju Island will be within our grasp. Force is always the fastest way to conquer.

"By the way," Li You looked at Quan Zaijun, "Call Zheng Zaizhong and others and ask them to bring a team back. We may need them these days."

"clear."
