Chapter 1203 - 1203

At the same time Dirk Carter was reviewing the leadership team members.

In the underground parking lot of the Century Resort Hotel in Ronan City.

A business car slowly stopped at the elevator entrance.

At this moment.

There was already a man and a woman waiting at the elevator entrance.

Seeing the vehicle stop.

The woman standing in front quickly opened a black umbrella.

Walked over to the car door.

This is the parking lot, the umbrella is certainly not for the rain.

The car door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in an executive jacket got out.

The woman didn't greet him; she used the umbrella to cover the man's body and face as he exited the car, escorting him into the elevator.

The elevator slowly ascended.

It stopped at the top, the sixteenth floor.

The three walked out of the elevator door and arrived at the door of a room.

The woman reached out and knocked on the door.

Then.

Pushed the door open.

The room was very dark, the curtains were drawn, but the layout of the room could still be vaguely seen.

This was an opulent presidential suite.

Just the living room in front of them was at least a hundred square meters.

The middle-aged man walked in.

The door was closed from outside.

He didn't hesitate, sat down on the sofa.

Soon, a bedroom door beside him opened.

A figure in pajamas came out.

Holding a glass of red wine, he leisurely sat down in front of the middle-aged man.

"How's the preparation going?"

The middle-aged man asked.

The man in pajamas shook his wine glass and said: "A month, just need a month, there won't be any issues on my side. But as for you, I heard Dirk Carter will assume office tomorrow, how do you plan to handle it?"

The middle-aged man said: "Dirk Carter can't be touched, he's the bait thrown down from above. If he's fine, it means Serenity State is fine. If something happens to him, Bohdan Sherwood will take immediate action, then years of planned efforts will be ruined."

The man in pajamas snorted coldly, "Dirk Carter is no lightweight, Bohdan Sherwood sent him here to act against us, you can't just do nothing, can you?"

The middle-aged man leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs and said: "Today's situation is well within my expectations. Look at Ronan City's team, carefully prepared for him by me. Once he handles these troubles, our plan will be activated. Therefore, he's no threat, didn't we deceive him last time as well?"

Hearing this, the man in pajamas exhaled deeply.

He said: "Alright, since that's the case, I won't interfere with your decision. However, to ensure our plan proceeds flawlessly, I've prepared a gift for him."

"What kind of gift?"

The middle-aged man asked with some disdain.

The man in pajamas put down his wine glass.

Then he stretched both hands diagonally upward, pretentiously clapped lightly.

Called out: "Come out."

The bedroom door opened again.

A woman in a bathrobe walked out gracefully.

In the darkness, the middle-aged man stared attentively and was somewhat dumbfounded.

The man in pajamas appeared very pleased.

His hand reached the woman's waist.

Gently pulled at the tied belt.

The bathrobe the woman wore fell to the ground in response.

A graceful and alluring figure appeared in front of the two men.

The woman showed no signs of protest.

The man in pajamas first grabbed the woman's voluptuous rear heavily.

Then pulled her into his embrace.

One hand vigorously "mistreated" her ample chest, while asking the middle-aged man: "How about it? Is this gift suitable?"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile on his face...

Mid-September.

The weather in Ronan City still felt like summer.

At 10 AM.

Having completed the registration at the Organization Department of the State Committee, Dirk Carter, accompanied by Luther Sutton, the head of the Organization Department, headed to Ronan City to assume his position.

At the Ronan City Municipal Committee and Government courtyard located on Lianjiang Road.

An architectural structure from the last century.

Its overall architectural style is standard British.

Set among a group of hundred-year-old banyan trees.

It appears quite picturesque.

As the vehicle slowly entered.

A huge banner came into view.

"Welcome Comrade Dirk Carter to work in Ronan City."

Below the banner.

At the small square in front of the main entrance of the Municipal Committee Building.

The key leaders of the four teams in Ronan City had already arrived.

Meanwhile, the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and streamers.

The atmosphere seemed quite lively.

The car just stopped.

Secretary Ross and Chairman of the People's Congress Brooke Lewis came forward from left and right.

The two rear doors simultaneously opened.

Secretary Ross greeted Luther Sutton.

While Brooke Lewis politely shook hands with Dirk Carter.

"Comrade Dirk Carter, welcome."

Brooke Lewis said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Thornton."

Dirk Carter replied.

Then.

Dirk Carter actively walked towards Secretary Ross, politely said: "Hello, Secretary Ross."

"Haha, Comrade Dirk Carter, no need to be formal, we will be partners from now on."

Secretary Ross said warmly.

Then led Dirk Carter to the front of the crowd.

After Luther Sutton, the state leader, shook hands and greeted each one of them.

Secretary Ross pointed to a middle-aged man up front and said: "Vice Secretary Tauber Grant."

"Hello, Secretary Tauber."

Dirk Carter was the first to speak.

After Tauber Grant responded.

Secretary Ross pointed to the next person and said: "Brennan Ford, Executive Deputy Mayor, you should know each other, right?"

These words made Dirk Carter's heart tingle.

Secretary Ross appeared harmless, even had the approachable vibe of a middle-aged woman.

But he clearly knew the relationship between Dirk Carter and Brennan Ford.

This time.

Brennan Ford took the initiative to speak.

With a playful smile, he said: "Yes, yes, I've known Mayor Carter for many years, Mayor Carter, how is Mr. Qin's health recently?"

It sounded like he was inquiring about the elder's health.

But Dirk Carter sensed it, Brennan Ford was showing off.

His meaning was clear.

He was telling Dirk Carter, back then you were so capable, pulling me down from the position of City Government Secretary, now look at me, aren't I doing well?

"Hahaha, thank you for Mayor Brennan's concern, Mr. Qin is in great health, next time we meet, I'll be sure to convey your concern on behalf, when he hears I am working with you, he'll be very delighted."

When Dirk Carter said this.

Brennan Ford's face turned grim.

Brennan Ford understood the implicit meaning behind Dirk Carter's words.

He was telling Brennan Ford, you ought to be careful, Mr. Qin is still around, if you act recklessly like last time, Mr. Qin can still discipline you.

Back and forth, each said just one sentence, which intensified the tension.

Secretary Ross pretended not to understand.

Pointed to the next person and said: "Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Larry Lewis, I heard you're old acquaintances?"

The first to speak was still Larry Lewis.

Like Brennan Ford, he smiled and proactively reached out his hand: "Technically, Mayor Carter was my student back then, indeed the new waves of the Yangtze River push on the old ones."

His words showed some disdain towards Dirk Carter.

It seemed to imply to everyone.

Dirk Carter may outrank me, but in terms of seniority, he's a level below.
