Xu Wendong was not surprised by the turn of events. After all, he had just started working and had already brought down Wang Zhengjun. Ordinary people might not be aware of this.
But some individuals within the system surely did.
For example, the drivers chauffeuring the leaders.
Perhaps, unknowingly, he had affected someone's interests.
Seeing their cold and amused expressions, Xu Wendong forced a smile and immediately said, "Yes, I am Xu Wendong."
"I'm new here and have a lot to learn. I hope all of you brothers can give me some guidance."
"To show my respect, I'd like to host you tonight at Wanghai Tower. I hope you brothers can do me the honor!" Saying this, he walked to their cars, took out some prepared Soft Chinese cigarettes, and handed one to each person.
In truth, it wasn't necessary for him to do this, but he understood that to navigate the bureaucratic world smoothly, one needed strong backing and connections.
