Chapter 895: Sorry to Have Kept You Waiting

Ke Zhengfeng? The Minister of CZ?
“Mr. Shi.” The middle-aged man smiled when he saw Shi Yuting. Unlike the others, he did not appear to be afraid the moment he saw Shi Yuting.
Ke Zhengfeng’s face was calm as usual. Perhaps it was because he was the minister of CZ.
Seeing that Shi Yuting was about to leave, Ke Zhengfeng could not help but smile. “Mr. Shi, I’m very sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Shi Yuting looked coldly at him before returning to the private room and resuming his seat.
This was the first time he had to wait an extra 10 minutes for someone.
If it were not for the fact that Xiangyi had checked earlier and confirmed that a traffic accident had occurred at 5:40 pm on West City Road, he might have already left.
Firstly, he was certain that Ke Zhengfeng was stuck on the road. Secondly, he wanted to see who the mysterious man who had arranged to meet him tonight was. As expected, he had not wasted ten minutes of his time.
Ke Zhengfeng, minister of CZ, was a pure and honest official in the eyes of the people. However, in the eyes of Shi Yuting, there was no official in the world who was not greedy. Moreover, his fat body was emitting the stench of money. No matter how one looked at it, he did not look like an honest official.
Regardless, Shi Yuting was now a businessman. There was no reason for him not to do something that benefitted himself.
However, what surprised him was why Minister Ke would take the initiative to look for him?
From what he could remember, when the national tax increased by a few decimals due to a change in policy 2 years ago, Di Zun Group had paid an additional 1.2%.
Thus, he had asked his finance department to write to the relevant agencies to request an appeal, not expecting to be rejected.
In fact, the other party, the very Minister Ke himself, wanted Shi Yuting to make the request personally!
After he went, he realized that Di Zun Group was the only one singled out, just because they were a foreign company. They were still a new company back then, and they struggled against those who wanted to take advantage of them. But in the end, Shi Yuting was able to take care of it as usual, and immediately grew to dislike them, those corrupted officials!
From then on, no one dared to mess with him, Shi Yuting and Di Zun Group!
And because of that encounter, Minister Ke had always regarded Shi Yuting as a thorn in his side. And here he was actually taking the initiative to look for him? It was really strange!
Minister Ke walked over and sat down on the sofa beside Shi Yuting. Then, he looked at Shi Yuting.
“There was a traffic jam on the road. Sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“Cut the small chat. Minister Ke, why are you looking for me?” He looked demandingly at Ke Zhengfeng.
Ke Zhengfeng smiled. “There’s nothing else. I’m just here to apologize for what happened previously.”
Shi Yuting’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he smiled. “Apologize? Minister Ke, you’re taking things too seriously.”
A smile may have appeared on his lips, but it did not reach Shi Yuting’s eyes.
Ke Zhengfeng smiled faintly. As a minister, this was the first time he apologized to a businessman.
He had indeed underestimated Shi Yuting back then. He never expected that his Di Zun Group would have such glorious achievements today in just five years, allowing Shi Yuting to monopolize the country’s financial sector.
At this moment, he could no longer ignore this king-like existence.
“Mr. Shi, I heard that you recently want to open a subsidiary company in A City?”
“Yes.” Shi Yuting picked up his glass and poured him another glass of wine. He behaved and emitted an aura as if he had no care for the reputation or identity of Minister Ke.
