Because of a certain person, something. Yu Fei and Yu Ping had been seeing each other frequently recently. The two of them had paid a huge price in secret to carry out the work arranged by Xiao Zheng.
This was definitely a big deal!
Even in the officialdom, this kind of thing happened all the time. But the two young officials had never thought that they would have to compete for power so soon.
Of course, Yu Fei was not completely unworried. Even Yu Ping, a woman, believed that regardless of the success or failure of this matter, as long as it was done, it would definitely offend a lot of big shots.
But Xiao Zheng dispelled their worries with one sentence: You are only responsible for collecting evidence and getting promoted.
With the importance of Xiao Zheng to them, as long as he did not serve as cannon fodder, they would do it without hesitation. What's more, they could get promoted.
"Boss Xiao saw through our intentions." In the VIP room, Yu Fei said solemnly. "Then he gave us a chance to make a contribution."
Yu Ping stopped drinking tea, looked up and said, "More than that."
"Huh?" Yu Fei frowned. "What else?"
Yu Ping took out a card from her pocket, pursed her lips and said, "There are 20 million in it. Song Zhou said it was our 'funds'. "
Funds?
That was — money!
20 million?
Yu Fei was stunned, "When did Song Zhou give it to you?"
"Last night." Yu Ping said frankly. "And he asked me to keep it a secret."
Yu Fei's mouth was full of bitterness. He rubbed his slightly swollen head, "I missed a chance."
"What chance did you miss?" Yu Ping asked curiously.
"The chance to get closer to Boss Xiao." Yu Fei said helplessly. "I still don't trust him enough. Otherwise, he would not give you the money instead of us. "
"But in terms of information, you know more than I do." Yu Ping said slowly. "Boss Xiao is very smart. He doesn't put all his eggs in one basket. "
"He wants us to supervise each other and work together." Yu Fei smiled bitterly. "That's a very clever move. We can't beat him even if we work together. "
"Why do we have to fight with him?" Yu Ping shook her head and said seriously. "We can be where we are today because of Boss Xiao's promotion. We can rely on such a big shot like him. It will greatly benefit our future. "
When Yu Fei heard this, a faintly discernible look appeared on his face. After a while, he sighed softly and rubbed his eyebrows. "Old Yu. I've always thought that you're just a little smarter and more knowledgeable than ordinary women. I didn't expect you to see things more clearly than me. If it weren't for your reminder, I might have taken a wrong path. "
Yu Ping smiled and explained, "I'm just a woman. If he wanted to walk the road ahead steadily, he needed to rely on something. But you're different. You're someone who can do great things. Since we're going to do something big, of course we don't want to be under the feet of a merchant forever. "
"He's definitely not just a businessman!" Yu Fei said word by word. "He's just like Lord Ye and Lin Chaotian. In the future, he'll definitely become a leader who can cover the sky with one hand. The reason why I was wary wasn't because I was worried that I would be at a disadvantage if I followed him. Instead, I swelled. I'm not willing to be used by others. "
Hearing this, Yu Ping's expression changed slightly, "This is very dangerous. How many young talents have been ruined by this hurdle? "
"That's why I need you to give me a warning." Yu Fei took a deep breath. "Boss Xiao doesn't see us as servants. He sees us as partners, as spokespeople in the government. As long as we give him enough trust. In the future, we'll truly be on equal footing with him. On this point, Boss Xiao has hinted to me more than once. "
Yu Ping's eyes lit up. After a while, she looked at Yu Fei and said, "This is the benefactor you've been talking about?"
"Yes." Yu Fei clenched his fists. "He's our benefactor."
Yu Fei's phone rang at an untimely time. Looking at the caller ID, Yu Fei's expression changed abruptly and became obviously unnatural.
"Who's calling?" Yu Ping rarely saw Yu Fei so nervous.
"Yen Teng-kuei." Yu Fei's voice trembled.
Now, he was already on the same boat as Yu Ping. In front of Yu Ping, he didn't need to hide too much. He naturally revealed his true emotions.
Yu Ping sucked in a cold breath. Her delicate body tensed up.
Why did Yen Teng-kuei take the initiative to call Yu Fei at this time?
What was he trying to do?
Could it be — — Yen Teng-kuei found out that I've been collecting dirt on him behind his back?
Yu Fei made a prompt decision and picked up the phone. With a face full of smiles, he said flatteringly, "Chief Yan, you're calling me so late at night. What can I do for you?"
Bowing and scraping like a slave. Even if the two of them were of the same rank. But one was the son of an official with a formidable background, while Yu Fei was just a practical person with an ordinary family background. If nothing unexpected happened, the two of them would draw an insurmountable gap in the next ten or twenty years. They were in two different worlds.
"Are you free tonight? I've organized a party. Come and have some fun tonight? "Yen Teng-kuei said in a gentle tone. "It's better to bring a companion. Lest there's an awkward silence. "
Party?
Bring a companion?
Yu Fei had been to Yen Teng-kuei's private club. And more than once. But except for one time when Yen Teng-kuei asked him for help and contacted him directly. The other times, he went in with someone else. In terms of friendship, the two of them were not even ordinary friends. At most, there was some benefit transfer. But tonight, why did he take the initiative to contact him?
There must be something fishy going on!
"Chief Yan, I might have to work overtime tonight …" Yu Fei had not thought about what to choose, so he tactfully found an excuse.
Go?
Or not go?
This was a huge problem for Yu Fei. Especially at this sensitive time. A little carelessness would lead to eternal damnation!
"It's fine. The party will last till dawn. Those who came are all old acquaintances. At most, I'll punish myself with three drinks. No one will mind. "Yen Teng-kuei said in a relaxed tone. "If it's not convenient for you, I'll send a car to pick you up."
"No need, no need." Yu Fei smiled. "I'll come as soon as I'm done with my work. At most an hour. "
"Alright. Give me a call when you arrive. "Yen Teng-kuei's cheerful voice came from the other side of the phone. "Let's drink till we're drunk tonight."
"Sure." Yu Fei hung up the phone and let out a heavy sigh.
"How was it?" Yu Ping curiously asked. "Did you feel anything?"
"His attitude is kind and polite." Yu Fei sneered. "I was not this polite when I ran an errand for him."
"Seems like he still needs your help." Yu Ping pursed her lips. "I've received news that Yen Teng-kuei is fighting with his cousin, Shang Yao, for the inheritance. Both sides are trying to build connections and accumulate power. Seems like Yen Teng-kuei is serious this time. "
"Have you forgotten what Boss Xiao asked us to do?" Yu Fei slowly said. "Investigate his background. Who's the real beneficiary?"
Yu Ping's expression darkened. "I didn't expect it to be so big. Seems like we have to be careful. Don't get involved. "
"You really should be careful." Yu Fei mysteriously smiled as he looked at the seductive Yu Ping. "I can't find a temporary companion. I can only sacrifice you. "
"Why does it sound so forced?" Yu Ping angrily said. "I didn't promise you to go."
