Supremely Talented Tyrant

Zhong Fei was happily counting money over at Madison's, while having a meal, but the government office building of Hua City had already turned into chaos.

"Where's the mayor?!"

"He... he went out!"

The office door of the mayor was suddenly pushed open, a group of faces full of anxiety staring at the only female secretary left in the office...

"What should we do?!"

"All major roads in Hua City are blocked! Why isn't the mayor here at this moment?!"

"No one knows what's happened, the entire Hua City's power is out! The phone of the power supply bureau's director can't be reached, and all gas stations in the city have shut down directly!"

"Secretary Lin, you are the mayor's secretary, can you contact the mayor?! There is an urgent matter that he needs to handle now!"

Secretary Lin's face was flustered; she didn't quite understand these matters either! Being able to stand here was all thanks to Zhong Fei, but now she was forced to make decisions about these matters, overwhelming her with panic.

Hearing these inquiries, she snapped back to her senses, quickly responding, rummaging through her bag to find Zhong Fei's phone number at once.

The only thing she could do now was this. This kind of chaos was not something she could handle, especially since she had always been in Zhong Fei's office, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Her gaze slightly shifted to the window outside, and her face instantly went rigid. From above, every road was jam-packed with cars, utterly impassable.

And it's not just one street; almost all streets were blocked!

"What... what is happening?!"

Instinctively, she looked at the group of people waiting at the door; Secretary Lin's face was stiff as she trembled and asked.

"What else?! The entire Hua City is paralyzed! Regardless of electricity or travel, everything came to a halt in an instant!"

"The only one who can handle these things now is the mayor, hurry and call him! If those higher-ups find out, we'll all be in trouble later!"

These people's faces were anxious. If this matter was not handled properly, everyone in this office building would face unemployment!

"Oh... okay, okay!"

Secretary Lin nodded somewhat understoodly, pressed Zhong Fei's number, and it was quickly connected...

"What is it?!"

As soon as the call connected, Zhong Fei's low voice came through. At this time, Zhong Fei was irritated. The hotel somehow went out of power suddenly, causing him to come down to ask the hotel staff.

He was rather upset inside. Why couldn't Madison's subordinate come down?! Why did it have to be him? But since that subordinate was also Madison's person, he couldn't say anything and had to comply.

In his heart, he already cursed the hotel multiple times. Why choose this moment for a power outage?!

Now, seeing that it was his secretary calling, his tone was already considered good, though his face still looked unpleasant.

Hearing Zhong Fei's low voice mingled with some anger, Secretary Lin's face turned pale. She couldn't grasp why Zhong Fei was in such a tone. She glanced at the expectant faces of the crowd and said despite her fear.

"Mayor, they said... they said that Hua City is paralyzed..."

Over the next two minutes, Secretary Lin relayed the words these people needed to pass on to Zhong Fei, along with the scenes she just witnessed outside.

"How did it come to this?!"

Hearing the end, Zhong Fei's face completely darkened. How had Hua City turned like this in no time after he left?! Did the directors of the power supply bureau, commerce bureau, and road traffic bureau not want to work?!

"Swish!"

Pulling open the curtains of the window beside him, Zhong Fei took a look outside, and his face froze abruptly. How had things become so serious?!

The streets outside were filled with various cars, some accidents not far away, yet the fire trucks farther away were making no progress toward the accident site.

What's more despairing was that this situation wasn't isolated but occurring in many places!

It's over; this kind of major issue cannot be contained!

Sweat on his forehead dripped like raindrops, flowing down his cheeks, the look of horror gradually spreading across his face!

"Drip!"

Sweat dropped to the ground, and Secretary Lin's anxious voice sounded again: "Mayor... Mayor... The provincial governor just called..."

"But since you weren't there, he hung up, and he seemed very angry..."

"The... provincial governor?!"

Now it's truly over!

Already thinking the matter couldn't be contained, Zhong Fei was also in despair. Yet he hadn't expected the provincial governor to receive the news so quickly, and most importantly, at such a critical moment, he was absent!

How would the provincial governor think of this?! Would it be seen as disrespect?! Or avoidance?!

"You all hold steady for me first! I'm heading back right now! You must find out the cause of this, especially contact those directors, see what they have to say, and why this happened!"

"Alright!"

Secretary Lin quickly nodded and responded, and then Zhong Fei hung up the phone.

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?! How did it turn out like this?!"

Hanging up the phone, Zhong Fei's expression was as dark as water, with deep fear hidden in his eyes. If this matter isn't resolved properly, his position is at risk. The governor already knows about this issue, and even if he wanted to hide it for a few days, he couldn't anymore…

Dammit! How did the governor find out about Hua City's situation so quickly?!

"Beep beep beep..."

Zhong Fei couldn't figure it out, and he didn't plan to deal with the hotel's power outage. He just wanted to go upstairs to tell Madison. However, just as he took a step, his phone rang again.

Damn it!

Already agitated, Zhong Fei became even more upset with this call. He picked up the phone again and glanced at the number, but what he saw left him dumbfounded.

Why is it a bunch of garbled characters?

Though confused, Zhong Fei still pressed the answer key, and as soon as the call connected, a voice with authority suddenly came through.

"Zhong Fei!"

"What's going on with Hua City?! You just took office today, and you caused such a mess?!"

"Gov… Governor!"

The familiar voice nearly made Zhong Fei drop his phone. He quickly forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying.

"This… this… I… I don't know either!"

If he knew what was going on, he wouldn't be so anxious. He wanted to tell the governor to give him some time; he would surely resolve it.

But he didn't dare! Hearing the governor's tone, he knew the governor was furious. If he said anything wrong, he might have to leave this position prematurely.

"Don't know?! Hmph!"

The governor's tone became increasingly cold, his anger obvious even over the phone, but Zhong Fei could still feel a fierce authority!

Sweat dripped continuously from his forehead, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

"I won't beat around the bush anymore; right now, go apologize to Mr. Hao Jian! No matter what it takes, you must get Mr. Hao Jian's forgiveness! Otherwise, you can forget about being mayor anymore!"

"Mr. Hao… Hao Jian?!"

The governor actually used an honorific?! And for that guy?!

At this moment, Zhong Fei's head felt like it was hit by a hammer. The guy he thought could be easily dealt with was someone of such status in the governor's eyes?!

And he had to apologize?! Did that mean he caused this whole issue?!

"Mr. Hao Jian's influence in Hua City, don't say I underestimated you, you're just a figurehead I placed there for show. Ask other departments if they even listen to your orders?!"

The governor had his own information channels about what Zhong Fei had recently done to Hao Jian, and he was well aware of the conflicts between them.

He just didn't expect Hao Jian to make such a significant move this time, large enough that even he couldn't fully react. But he wasn't too worried about this.

Hao Jian's actions never involved ordinary people. Even if they were involved, someone would quickly pull those ordinary people out.

After all, that was Hao Jian's principle.

And because of this bottom line, the governor wasn't overly concerned. What made him angry was still Zhong Fei's actions. If it weren't for him, perhaps things in Hua City wouldn't have happened this time!

"But… but Mr. Madison…"

"Heh, are you still going to argue with me at this time?! Talk to Madison yourself and see if his Nicholas Consortium dares defy my orders!"

The governor's tone carried disdain. Although the Nicholas Consortium has a significant international influence, the governor, being a provincial leader in Huaxia, has never been afraid!

"Immediately, right now, go apologize to Mr. Hao Jian! I'll give you three days; if you can't resolve it within three days, then think about how you're going to hand over your duties!"

After saying that, the governor ignored Zhong Fei's feelings and directly hung up the call.

As Zhong Fei's direct superior, being able to say so much to him was already a courtesy.

"This…"

Seeing the governor hang up the phone, Zhong Fei's face froze, and the hand holding the phone to his ear was already stiff and motionless.

He couldn't believe the call was real… but the voice was indeed the governor's…

What shocked him even more was Hao Jian's influence, to the extent that the governor personally called to ask him to apologize?!

What to do?! Do I really have to humbly go apologize?
