While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Shen Anmin sat in the main seat, quietly watching everything before him, a playful smile on his lips.

If it were just Luo Shihai saying this, things would be simpler.

But now, it's obvious that Luo Shihai had already arranged everything before he even arrived here.

These people had clearly planned to deal with Yu Xiuqin long ago; he could tell that.

Minghai City is not large, but it seems that the struggle between these forces is far from over.

Shen Anmin was not surprised by this; wherever there are people, there will be conflict.

Shen Anmin is now curious about how Yu Xiuqin, a woman, will deal with this situation.

"What do you mean by this? Wu Xing, Feng Chengzhi, Pang Linyuan, and Fang Heyan, what are you all doing here?"

Yu Xiuqin coldly glanced at the rest of the people at the table.

As the Minister of Commerce of Minghai City, Yu Xiuqin still possessed her own authority.

These people usually fawn over her when they meet, and normally Yu Xiuqin isn't afraid of them at all, but today's occasion is different.

If these people join Luo Shihai in attacking her while Shen Anmin is here, she will inevitably leave a bad impression on Shen Anmin, a high-ranking official in Kyoto.

At best, things in the business district might get out of her control; at worst, it could affect the Qin family and even threaten her position as minister.

"Minister Yu!"

The first to speak was Wu Chong's father, Wu Xing.

He slowly stood up, glanced at Yu Xiuqin, and a hint of anger he would never normally dare to show appeared on his lips: "Minister Yu probably doesn't know, but last night at the bar, my son Wu Chong was also severely injured. Not only was his knee crushed, but his fingers were also comminuted fractured. The doctor said that if the treatment isn't effective, my son may be left with a lifelong disability!"

"Hmph, Minister Yu, my son is the same. My son, Fang Yu, was also severely injured in a bar yesterday and hasn't woken up yet."

At this moment, Fang Heyan also stood up, looking angrily at Yu Xiuqin. His son, Fang Yu, was seriously injured and was still lying in the hospital.

"My son, Feng Hui, was also present last night; the Feng family can testify to that!"

Feng Hui's father, Feng Chengzhi, also stepped forward and snorted coldly.

"Indeed, my Pang family can also testify!"

Pang Linyuan also spoke up.

"Minister Yu, didn't you want evidence? I wonder if the testimony of so many people, including Patriarch Feng, counts as evidence?"

Luo Shihai looked at Yu Xiuqin with a cold smile.

Yu Xiuqin fell silent.

"If Minister Yu feels the evidence is insufficient, I can have the hospital send my son and Wu Chong's nephew here."

Seeing that Yu Xiuqin remained silent, Luo Shihai snorted and looked at her with a mocking gaze.

"I still stand by what I said: I trust Xiao'er. If there were no reason, Xiao'er would never have attacked Wu Chong and the others."

Yu Xiuqin remained silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Luo Shihai laughed loudly and looked at Shen Anmin beside him: "Director Shen, this is our Minister Yu from Minghai City. He can't even distinguish between public and private matters. How can such a person lead the long-term development of Minghai City's business community?"

"I'll have someone investigate this matter!"

Shen Anmin spoke slowly, glancing at Yu Xiuqin. In his opinion, this woman did indeed seem somewhat protective of her own.

It is indeed difficult to convince the public to have such a person in charge of the commercial development project in Minghai City.

"Director Shen, in my opinion, it's best not to let Minister Yu take charge of the business district development project in Minghai City for the time being."

Luo Shihai seized the opportunity and looked at Shen Anmin, saying...

"That's right, Director Shen, we can't trust someone like that."

Wu Xing, Feng Chengzhi, and others also spoke up in succession, echoing their sentiments.

"So who do you think is more suitable?"

Shen Anmin looked at Luo Shihai and the others with a half-smile.

In our opinion, Su Tianyang from the Su family is more capable of handling this matter!

Luo Shihai spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiuqin's face immediately turned ugly. She wanted to say something, but her current situation was extremely passive. She had no idea what her son Qin Xiao's motives were for doing these things last night, which meant that she couldn't find any starting point to defend herself.

If she were to rashly start a rebuttal, it would only make her seem unreasonable.

"Minister Yu, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing that Yu Xiuqin remained silent, Shen Anmin took the initiative to speak, indicating that he did not want to get involved in this power struggle between the two sides.

Although he did think Yu Xiuqin was indeed too self-serving, Shen Anmin didn't have much affection for Luo Shihai and the others either.

These people are so clever. They prepared today's dinner party with the intention of using him as a tool to suppress Yu Xiuqin from the very beginning. He could see that, of course.

"Director Shen, I'm not aware of these matters yet. Once I understand, I will give you an explanation! If it's truly my son abusing his power without cause, I will resign as minister! I will no longer concern myself with matters concerning the business community!"

Yu Xiuqin took a deep breath and said, word by word.

She had been working tirelessly for two months to connect people for the business district, and now that she had just given it up, it was as if Su Tianyang had directly reaped the benefits. Although she was unwilling, Yu Xiuqin had no choice but to accept it.

In front of this Director of the Commerce and Industry from Kyoto, she could only adopt a sufficiently respectful attitude to minimize the other party's dislike of her.

Shen Anmin glanced at Yu Xiuqin with some surprise.

Shen Anmin originally thought that Yu Xiuqin would try her best to explain herself, but she so decisively took a step back to advance.

This improved Shen Anmin's opinion of Yu Xiuqin considerably.

"Director Shen, the matter naturally needs to be investigated, but in the meantime, Minister Yu is clearly no longer suitable to be the person in charge of this business district project."

Luo Shihai didn't expect to kill Yu Xiuqin outright. As long as he could delay the business district's affairs for a few days until Su Tianyang came out, his goal would be achieved.

"What does Mr. Luo mean?"

Shen Anmin glanced at Luo Shihai.

"Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, the business district plan will be temporarily suspended. Once Su Tianyang is released, the entrepreneurs who participated in the development of the business district will vote between Minister Yu and Director Su. Whoever receives the most votes will become the person in charge."

Luo Shihai spoke.

"Your idea is good, but in my opinion, there is no need to suspend the project's progress for the time being! Minister Yu has done a lot of work for the Minghai City business district, and no one knows many of the details better than her. I won't be staying in Minghai for more than a few days, so the faster the business district's progress is made, the better."

Shen Anmin calmly took a sip of tea, then looked up and continued, "As for Minister Yu, let's continue with the work for now. Once it's clear that the responsibility lies with Minister Yu's son, and Minister Yu can no longer convince the public, then it won't be too late to let Su Tianyang take over. Last night, both the person who assaulted and the person who was assaulted were your own family members, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out the truth."

Shen Anmin neither cared about nor wanted to get involved in the power struggles among these forces in Minghai City.

However, he couldn't just watch Luo Shihai and the others use him as a pawn. But since he was on official business this time, he couldn't remain silent either, so he simply played it safe.

As the director who came to Minghai City for this inspection, he can only wait for the investigation results to come out, and then handle the matter officially and deal with it as appropriate.
