tn't get hurt..." Mei Shumin was somewhat dazed at the moment, muttering to herself. Her daughter being kidnapped had dealt her a heavy blow; she could no longer think as clearly as usual.Summer pulle...Chapter 787: Rising Star Director

"You idiot, don't comment on my wife's figure!" Xia Tian grumbled angrily. Ba Shan's current predicament was entirely his handiwork.

Poor Ba Shan was left dizzy and disoriented from the fall and couldn’t get up for a long time.

"Sis Yunqing, let’s leave." Xia Tian turned around with Yun Qing's slender waist and walked away. He wouldn't allow other men to comment on his wife's figure, but he himself was determined to thoroughly study her amazing body now to make up for the loss from last night.

The two of them took an elevator down and stepped out of the hotel entrance just as three people came towards them. These were all people Xia Tian had met before: Deputy County Magistrate Meng Jincai, his secretary, and Yang Yujuan who claimed to be Yang Shan's cousin sister.

Upon seeing Xia Tian, Meng Jinchai was initially taken aback and then showed a look of pleasant surprise: "Mr. Xia, you've also come to Mu Yang County"

"I arrived earlier," Xia Tian replied casually.

"Sorry, I didn't know about this; it's been rude of me..." Meng Jinchai looked apologetic.

But Xia Tian interrupted him: "Ah, you're here to see Yang Shan, right Then hurry up and go upstairs. I still have things to do."

Meng Jinchai was stunned for a moment, intending to say something more but then glanced at Yun Qing before seeming to recall something else. He nodded his head: "Then, Mr. Xia, I won't bother you further. Here's my business card; if you need anything, feel free to call me anytime."

Meng Jinchai handed a business card to Xia Tian, who took it. Then he pulled Yun Qing away; he wasn’t in the mood to deal with these people.

The security guard at the entrance secretly felt lucky upon seeing this scene. Since even County Magistrate Meng treated him so courteously, that person must indeed have a significant background!

"You know those people" Yun Qing was also somewhat surprised right now. She couldn’t imagine how many people this guy actually knew in Mu Yang County.

"Yes. That man is named Meng Jinchai and he’s the Deputy County Magistrate of Mu Yang County, while that woman is called Yang Yujuan and is said to be Yang Shan's cousin." Xia Tian gave a brief introduction, "We originally wanted to tell him to directly purchase Green Peak Mountain for us, but since he can’t make such decisions on his own, I didn't want to bother with him."

Yun Qing nodded. She didn't ask any further questions because she wasn’t particularly interested in this matter either. She started the car and asked, "Where are we going now"

"Sis Yun Qing, we haven't checked out of the hotel room yet," Xia Tian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yun Qing immediately understood that he definitely wasn't going to check out.

Despite knowing what was happening, she didn't say anything and drove Xia Tian back to the hotel. As soon as they entered the room, Xia Tian hugged her.

Dongsheng Grand Hotel

"Protest! I demand a protest! Is this how Mu Yang County welcomes guests How could a renowned director like me be attacked here and yet no one is caught by you people With your current law enforcement environment, do you expect anyone to invest here Forget about shooting the promotional video; it would be useless anyway!" Ba Shan roared in the room. Across from him sat Mu Yang County's Deputy County Magistrate Meng Jincai, who looked extremely awkward. In fact, he still didn't know exactly what had happened. He had come looking for Director Ba Shan, who was supposedly a new and rising director in the country, to discuss filming the promotional video. However, as soon as he entered the room, he found Ba Shan on the ground. After helping him up, Ba Shan began his tirade.

When Ba Shan shouted like this, it also alarmed others. Liuxia and other people from the provincial TV station appeared one after another to inquire about the situation.

A few days ago, Meng Jincai contacted a friend at the provincial TV station regarding Qingfeng Mountain, leading them to decide on shooting a documentary about it. After filming was completed, they could air it on the provincial TV station, with Liuxia as the host of this documentary. Other staff members needed for the project were also brought over from the provincial TV station.

However, Ba Shan wasn’t actually someone from the provincial TV station; he was a director who seemed to have some fame. As for how famous he really was, Meng Jincai didn’t know at all—he had never heard of this person before.

Since the documentary was long and not suitable for promotion everywhere, Meng Jincai felt that it would still be necessary to film a promotional video. The issue was that there wasn't an appropriate director in the provincial TV station, so he needed to find one on his own. Liuxia recommended Ba Shan, who happened to solve Meng Jincai’s predicament of not being able to find anyone for this task.

Thus, Basha—the self-proclaimed avant-garde big director—also came to Mulian County. But whether he was here to film the promotional video or pursue a relationship with Liuxia was uncertain.

On the way here, Meng Jincai found out that this Bazhan director was not easy to deal with. In fact, he had originally planned for Yang Shan to stay in room 406 because it was relatively quieter, but now it seemed that Bazhan forcibly took over that room.

Frankly speaking, Meng Jincai did not have a good impression of Bazhan, but he also heard that big directors were usually hard to cater to, so he could only endure. After all, at this moment he was in need of the director's help; being able to get a director willing to come to such an impoverished place as Muyang County was already quite good. He dared not offend the director, for if the latter left, who would shoot their promotional video If they couldn't produce a promotional video, they wouldn't be able to publicize themselves, and Muyang County would remain poor.

"Director Bazhan, please don’t get angry. Let us figure out what happened first; we will definitely handle it."

“You’d better deal with this immediately or I’m going back to Jianghai City!” Bazhan said angrily. He was always very proud of himself and couldn't bear being hit in such a small place. As for the matter of him getting caught by someone in bed with their spouse, he didn’t care at all; it wasn't like he hadn't done this before.

"Director Bazhan, do you know who hit you" Meng Jincai asked again.

"If I want to know everything, would I still need to ask you This hotel isn't without surveillance cameras; didn't you check them" Ba Shan said angrily.

"Alright then, I'll find someone to handle it now." Meng Jincai was rather helpless. After some thought, he decided to simply give the police chief Shi Changgeng a call. Such issues of public security should be left for him to deal with.

"Secretary Shi, it's me, Meng Jincai!" Meng Jincai quickly dialed Shi Changgeng's number; his tone was very polite. Although he was the vice county magistrate, in reality, he wasn't even a member of the County Party Committee, whereas Secretary Shi Changgeng, as the head of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was indeed a member of the County Party Committee. In terms of rank, Meng Jincai actually didn’t measure up to Shi Changgeng, so naturally he dared not give orders or speak in an authoritative manner.

Xia Tian thought for a moment and then nodded. "Okay then, let’s leave right away."Aftrer saying that, Xia Tian ate the braised pork on his plate in great haste until...
