A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 622 - 622

"Yes!"

Dirk Carter did not hesitate at all and answered the question.

Jeanette Houseman suddenly became angry and embarrassed, picked up her clothes from the floor and put them on, saying, "Dirk Carter, you've messed with the wrong person."

After saying that,

she took out her phone.

Directly dialed a number and said, "Bring some people in."

It was less than two minutes.

The door to the room was opened from the outside.

The young man from before rushed in immediately, followed by two others in black suits.

"Miss."

The young man called out.

Jeanette Houseman reached out her hand, pointed at Dirk Carter, and opened her mouth to say something, but choked on her words.

"Forget it, let him go."

Jeanette Houseman said.

Dirk Carter asked, "Not planning to make me suffer a bit?"

Jeanette Houseman said through gritted teeth, "No worries, at tomorrow's investment promotion conference, you'll realize your mistake."

"So I can leave now?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Jeanette Houseman turned her face away.

Dirk Carter swaggered out.

Seeing this, the young man approached Jeanette Houseman and said, "Miss, do you need me to take care of him?"

"Do take care of him, sure, what are you taking care of, get out of here!"

Jeanette Houseman angrily replied.

The young man looked innocent but didn't get angry, obediently turned and left.

Jeanette Houseman sat heavily on the sofa, her eyes suddenly red, tears streaming down.

"Dirk Carter, oh Dirk Carter, I'm doing this for your good, you don't know, I haven't convinced the Houseman Family..."

Jeanette Houseman muttered.

Unfortunately, Dirk Carter couldn't hear anymore.

She stopped sobbing.

Jeanette Houseman dialed another number.

Once the call was connected, a voice said, "Miss, tell me."

Jeanette Houseman took a deep breath and seriously said, "At tomorrow's investment promotion conference, I want you to use every means to humiliate Dirk Carter, make sure he can never lift his head in Koryn City again, can you do it?"

"Rest assured, Miss, even if you hadn't called, I would definitely do so."

The voice on the phone said.

She hung up the phone.

Jeanette Houseman lay on the sofa.

Stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Then suddenly sat up, clenched her fists, and said through gritted teeth, "Dirk Carter, oh Dirk Carter, you will come back begging me, you definitely will!"

Dirk Carter leisurely strolled to the hotel entrance.

Just about to get in the car.

A voice shouted, "Wait a moment."

He turned his head.

Only to see that handsome young man hurriedly coming over.

"Does your Miss have anything else?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The young man with a serious face said, "Not her, it's me looking for you."

"Oh? Please enlighten me!"

Dirk Carter said.

The young man coldly said, "I don't care who you are, as long as you bully my Miss, I won't spare you. Miss didn't let me touch you this time, but if there's a next time, no matter what she says, I will act against you mercilessly."

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "You like her?"

The young man's face instantly turned red.

Hastily said, "She is my master, I must protect her!"

"What's your name?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The young man was taken aback and said, "Aurelio Yuill."

"Aurelio Yuill? I'll remember that name, hope there won't be a next time, but if there is, I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that.

Dirk Carter patted Aurelio Yuill's shoulder.

Turned and left.

The next day.

In the newly completed district government compound of Koryn City Economic Development District.

Festively decorated, flags fluttering.

It looked extremely lively.

On the LED screen at the entrance, it read: "Warmly congratulating the grand launch of the first Koryn City Economic Development District Investment Signing Conference."

Early in the morning.

All members of the leadership team of the Economic Development District had arrived.

Waiting for the arrival of city leaders.

Around 9 o'clock.

The city party committee's second car slowly drove into the parking lot.

Amidst a solemn applause, Mayor Elliot Douglas, accompanied by Deputy Secretary Hakeem Young, Minister of Propaganda Danielle Linden, Secretary of Politics and Law Owen, and major leaders of the municipal government, arrived at the scene.

Led by Committee Secretary Peter Palmer, the main leaders of the four Economic Development District committees extended a welcome to the city leaders one by one.

After some pleasantries.

Elliot Douglas glanced around and asked, "Where's Executive Carter? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Peter Palmer knowingly smiled and said, "Mayor Douglas, Executive Carter is the star today, stars always make their entrance last, right?"

"Hahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Seeing this.

District Chief Genevieve looked anxious.

Spoke to the confidant beside her, "Call Executive Carter and ask where he is?"

Just as she finished speaking.

She saw the city party committee's fourth car drive in amid all eyes.

Someone shouted, "Executive Carter is here."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Once the car stopped.

Dirk Carter opened the door and got out.

He adjusted his clothes and walked over to the crowd.

"Executive Carter is indeed fashionably late, I thought he might oversleep on such an important day."

Secretary of Politics and Law Owen said in a jesting tone.

Dirk Carter laughed heartily and said, "Doesn't it officially start at ten? It's just past nine now, it seems everyone is even more anxious than I am."

In Elliot Douglas's view.

Dirk Carter was just forcing a smile now.

After all, the outcome of this event was already determined.

"Executive Carter seems very confident, with an investment of 6 billion in place, Executive Carter would undoubtedly be Koryn City's top hero."

Elliot Douglas teased.

Dirk Carter grinned and said, "Can't be called a hero, just serving the people, but poor Mayor Douglas, who'll have to clean the toilets."

Elliot Douglas cursed in his heart.

But still smiling on the surface, he said, "If the outcome is as Executive Carter said, I, Elliot Douglas, never go back on my word, I'll take care of all the toilets in the Municipal Government Building, but hasn't Executive Carter thought about it, if this turns out to be a joke, what about Executive Carter's young face? Hahaha..."

Another burst of laughter followed.

Seeing the main characters continuing their verbal sparring.

Danielle Linden proposed, "Everyone, let's go inside."

"Alright, inside!"

Elliot Douglas cheerfully waved his hand and led the way into the building.

In the first-floor hall, a small podium had already been set up.

The front row of seats was for the leaders attending today's meeting, and there were about thirty or forty seats below for the signing guests of the day.

Seeing that time was running out, yet still no one was present.

Seeing this scene.

Elliot Douglas chuckled and turned to ask, "Executive Carter, where are your investors? I haven't seen a single one, they're not coming, are they?"

"Unlikely, Executive Carter's word is gold, even if it's not 6 billion, I think 600 million should still be achievable, got to save a bit of face, right?"

Confident Peter Palmer flatteringly said.
