Cao Dingjun whispered something in Liu Zhizhong's ear, and Liu Zhizhong furrowed his brow.
Then, Liu Zhizhong had to temporarily halt the reception matters, asking someone to take over as he and Cao Dingjun went into the back lounge.
Liu Zhizhong said, "Director Cao, did Deputy Mayor Zuo really say that?"
Cao Dingjun, with a worried look, nodded, "Yes! She just called, saying we have those two remaining real estate projects, the ones in the foundation stage, someone has reported that the environmental pollution is too severe, and they must halt construction for rectification. Whenever the issues are resolved, then they can resume work."
Liu Zhizhong gave a bitter smile and nodded.
Indeed, Bai Qiuxia and Zuo Xintong had parachuted in from Tiandu, the former as the Mayor overseeing all tasks of Huayang City Government, the latter as the Executive Deputy Mayor in charge of economic affairs, environmental protection, development, and reform.
