Wang Xiaoqiang made a call to Xu Yongqian. From their last encounter, Wang Xiaoqiang had seen that Xu wasn't an ordinary figure. Although now retired, he still wielded considerable influence in the Provincial Capital, as evidenced by the recent restaurant incident where both the police station and the Bureau of Industry and Commerce had to give him face. It was understandable for the police station since Elder Xu's daughter was the Deputy Director of the District Public Security Bureau, and of course, they would play ball. But what was key here was the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Wang Xiaoqiang, despite not being highly educated, knew that the city's Bureau was not directly under the city government's control, but only the provincial government could exert influence. From this, the extent of Xu Yongqian's power was evident.
There was fear that the call might not go through or no one would answer it. Fortunately, after just one ring, the call connected.
