Chapter 1816 Big Fish

Hearing Jiang Daoli's introduction, Ye Ye raised his eyebrows. Ministry of Commerce?

The Chinese government is divided into two factions.

One faction is a combination of power and force, with Liu Xinghua as the chief representative, and includes several major military corps in the military region, military laboratories, and Lingxu management, etc.

The other faction is the one that focuses on foreign negotiations, business investment, and economic management. It is mainly composed of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassies, foreign negotiations groups, etc.

The two factions both belong to Xiaonanhai, which is under the control of Liu Xinghua. However, in the era of Beastmasters, which emphasizes the use of force, the first faction is more valued, while the second faction is slightly inferior. However, both are important components of China's political structure, so it is hard to say which one is superior and which one is inferior.

The Ministry of Commerce is the department responsible for attracting investment. A deputy minister is considered to be in a high position of power. But how could such a small restaurant attract such a "big shot"?

Of course, the word "big shot" should be put in quotation marks. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Deputy Minister of Commerce is already unattainable, but Ye Ye really didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was also a person who strolled in Xiaonanhai every day, and the value of the four words "Major General of China" was beyond doubt.

Wang An was very upset. Half an hour ago, he was in a luxurious club in Beijing, surrounded by beauties, but the next moment, a phone call made him rush here in a panic, and he almost couldn't even fold his pants properly.

He was quite familiar with the restaurant owner, and he had contributed to the opening of a Sakura cuisine restaurant in such a popular location. However, the main reason why he rushed here was not his relationship with the restaurant owner, but the key to the problem was the five foreign nationals from Sakura Country.

Their identities are not ordinary.

"Minister Wang, you're finally here. If you don't come again, my store will be demolished!"

When the shop owner saw Wang An, he started crying and snotting as if he had seen his own father.

Wang An shook his arms in disgust, trying to prevent the shop owner from wiping his tears on his coat.

"What's wrong? It's late at night, are you guys from the Spiritual Control Bureau still trying to cause trouble?!"

Wang An ignored the shop owner and looked at Jiang Daoli.

At this time, Ye Ye was no longer beside Jiang Daoli. He only saw that Ye Ye had hidden in the law enforcement team of the Zhenling Bureau at some point. If one did not count the heads carefully, one would not be able to find Ye Ye at all.

Ye Ye also wanted to see how many parasites there were in China's peaceful and prosperous era. Unexpectedly, he caught a big fish this time.

Deputy Minister of Commerce, this is already a level that allows him to work in Xiaonanhai.

"This is not the fault of our Zhenling Bureau. There is something wrong with this store. We need to investigate it carefully. It is a big problem."

Jiang Daoli responded righteously and sternly with a firm tone. Logically speaking, with his rank and law enforcement power, he did not need to be servile in front of a figure like the Vice Minister of Commerce. However, a higher-ranking official can crush a person, so he should still give him the face he deserves. But today Jiang Daoli was not going to give Wang An any face, as Ye Ye was right beside him to support him, and this was indeed a big problem, and Jiang Daoli was furious.

Hearing Jiang Daoli's retort, Wang An narrowed his eyes slightly, turning his already not very obvious eyes into a slit, and his tone became stiff.

"That will have to wait until you find evidence. If you don't have evidence or a search warrant, you can just close the store and arrest people. I think it's time for Tong Gang to tighten his control over his men."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, the shop owner seemed to be hesitant to talk, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Wang An raised his hand to signal the shop owner not to say more, and glanced at the shop owner, as if to say something.

"No need to say more, I'll protect your place today!"

The shop owner was secretly worried, but Jiang Daoli was not going to let the shop owner know the news.

"We can't let him go. We have a search warrant. This store is indeed problematic. Is Minister Wang prepared to take the responsibility for obstructing public service?"

Jiang Daoli was not afraid of Wang An's threat at all, and asked in a serious voice.

Wang An seemed to be angered by Jiang Daoli's inhumanity, and his chest felt a little unsteady. At this time, whether it was the store owner or the clerk, or Jiang Daoli and the law enforcement team members, they all smelled the alcohol on Wang An.

"Obstructing official business!? Great, great! What an obstruction of official business! I guess I'll have to call Director Tong and ask him!"

How could Wang An not know if there was something fishy going on here? If it were normal, the worst that could happen would be to close the store and undergo rectification. Anyway, the women who were victimized had already kept their mouths shut, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, the identities of these five people today are special, so Wang An has to take it seriously and try his best to make a big deal out of a small matter. He can only put pressure on Jiang Daoli again.

However, Jiang Daoli seemed to not understand the hint in Wang An's lines at all, and spoke in a tough manner.

"Do you have Director Tong's phone number? If not, I have it and I can do it for you."

After saying that, Jiang Daoli started to search his pockets, ready to call Tong Gang directly.

Wang An was so overwhelmed by Jiang Daoli's stubborn attitude that he was at a loss as to whether to move forward or backward, and he shouted angrily.

"Don't bother! I can do it myself!"

After saying that, Wang An took the phone from his secretary and called Tong Gang directly.

Ye Ye watched Wang An's actions from behind the crowd and felt amused.

Why do you still want to protect them even after all this? Just for five foreign nationals from Sakura?

The store owner is obviously not as powerful as the other party. It seems that the identities of these five people are something special.

Jiang Daoli was also a little panicked at this time. He didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so tough. He subconsciously glanced at Ye Ye.

But when he saw the faint smile on Ye Ye's face and his gradually cold eyes, Jiang Daoli put his heart at ease again and became much calmer.

"Hello? Director Tong! This is Lao Wang. Your people detained our foreign guests from the Ministry of Commerce without authorization. Isn't this embarrassing for me? You can investigate the evidence. This is your duty, but you can't detain people. If there is any diplomatic dispute, neither you nor I can bear the consequences!"

Wang An's tone of voice was noticeably softer. After all, Tong Gang was one level higher than him in rank. The directors of the Huaguo Zhenling Bureau and the Lingxu Management Bureau were leaders of legitimate and powerful units, and he, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, could not compare to them. However, Wang An also had his own confidence. He was not the only one involved in this matter.

"Okay, I get it. Give him the phone number."

Tong Gang's slightly tired voice came. At this time, he was still dealing with the affairs of the Lingxu reorganization. He was very busy, but such a thing happened.

Wang An handed the phone to his secretary with an arrogant look on his face. The secretary quickly trotted over to Jiang Daoli and handed the phone over to him, his eyes full of sarcasm, as if saying that Jiang Daoli's abilities were beyond measure.

However, Jiang Daoli's performance was beyond their expectations. He took the phone calmly and with a calm expression.

"Hello? Chief."
