After breakfast the next day, Xia Ruofei drove the Knight XV off-road vehicle out of the farm and headed to Zhonglou District's Second Central Elementary School.
Initially, Xia Ruofei did not want to drive such a flashy car. However, Feng Jing was going to the city in the morning to inspect the location of the new headquarters. She was using a Mercedes-Benz, so Xia Ruofei only had two choices: a pickup truck and a Knight XV.
He couldn't just drive a pickup truck to meet He Feng, right? Therefore, the Knight XV off-road vehicle was the only one he could choose.
Xia Ruofei left the farm at around 8: 20 am. There weren't many traffic jams in the city during the summer break, so he arrived at Zhonglou District's Second Primary School at around 8: 50 am.
He could see the school gate from afar. Since it was still summer break, the school gate looked a little empty.
Xia Ruofei slowed down and parked the Knight XV in a parking space next to the entrance of Zhonglou District's Second Primary School.
Just as he opened the door and got out of the car, the back door of a black Passat in front of him opened as well. A chubby middle-aged man got out of the car and greeted him with a smile on his face.
This man was He Feng, the vice mayor of Zhonglou District's Education Department.
He Feng had arranged for the Director of Education to arrive at the school in advance yesterday, so he was waiting at the school gate half an hour earlier.
He Feng didn't inform the Director of Education Department and Second Primary School. He even used an official car in the district because he didn't want anyone to recognize his car. This way, he could wait for Xia Ruofei at the school gate.
After all, he didn't know what kind of temper this "Xia Shao" had. He didn't want to make a big fuss and annoy him, but he didn't want to be rude if he didn't greet him at the school gate. Therefore, he had already spent a lot of effort on this small detail.
He Feng had already noticed Xia Ruofei's car when it drove over from afar. After all, this car was too flashy to ignore.
He Feng immediately realized that Xia Ruofei had arrived. In his opinion, it was normal for Mr. Xia to drive a car like this. After all, he was someone who was highly valued by Secretary Song!
Therefore, He Feng got out of the car immediately.
He walked towards Xia Ruofei and asked with a big smile, "Are you Mr. Xia?"
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment before regaining her senses. She said, "I'm Xia Ruofei. Are you Mayor He?"
"Yes, yes, I'm He Feng!" He Feng quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Xia!"
Xia Ruofei said, "Mr. He, I'm sorry for troubling you to wait for me!"
"Of course, of course," He Feng said. "Mr. Xia, then... shall we go in and complete the registration procedures?"
Xia Ruofei Xia Ruofei nodded, "Thank you, thank you!"
He Feng led Xia Ruofei into the school. The director of education and the principal came to the school in person. They were very surprised to see He Feng bringing a young man to register someone. However, they didn't dare to say anything and were very enthusiastic about it.
The registration process was actually very simple. Xia Ruofei took out Nan Nan's household register and Lin Yueh-a's ID card. The school staff made a copy and registered them on the spot. It was done in a few minutes.
Nan Nan was naturally arranged to be in the experimental class.
Since the normal registration process had already ended, it was equivalent to forcing a student into the experimental class. He Feng was very careful and personally asked the principal to arrange Nan Nan's student number in the middle, and the other students' numbers were pushed back.
According to the usual practice, Nan Nan's number would be placed last. Moreover, there was one more student in the experimental class, so a lot of people would speculate.
It could be said that He Feng put all his effort into this matter and thought about all the details very carefully.
Then, in front of Xia Ruofei, He Feng instructed the director of education and the principal to arrange the best teachers and form teachers for the experimental class. He also asked the form teachers to pay more attention to Nan Nan's studies and life.
This was quite obvious, and it was completely different from the usual vague hints.
The director of education and the principal naturally nodded and promised that they would carry out the director's instructions.
After the registration, the director of education asked carefully, "Mr. He, I've asked Principal Lin to arrange a hotel. Do you want to have lunch together?"
He Feng waved his hand and said, "No need for lunch. You guys can go do whatever you need to do!"
"Okay!" The director of education said with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to He Feng, "Thank you so much, Mr. He!"
"You're welcome, it's nothing," He Feng said quickly. He Feng quickly said, "Mr. Xia, if Nan Nan needs anything in school, you can give me a call anytime."
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
The director of education and the principal were speechless. They thought to themselves, Is there a need for a district chief to personally deal with a kid's problems?
Of course, the director of education and the principal were also very curious about Xia Ruofei's identity since He Feng was so respectful to him.
At the same time, the principal reminded himself that he had to take special care of Nan Nan after she entered the school. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.
He Feng accompanied Xia Ruofei out of the school. The director of education and the principal naturally walked them all the way to the gate.
He Feng waved his hand and asked them to leave. Then, he accompanied Xia Ruofei to the parking lot.
He Feng said, "Mr. Xia, I've booked a place. Let's have lunch together!"
Then, He Feng quickly said, "Don't worry, the place I booked is very quiet and quiet. There won't be any random people. It's still early now. We can go and make some tea first. "
The director of education had offered to treat He Feng to lunch, but He Feng refused. He wanted to treat Xia Ruofei to a meal alone.
In He Feng's eyes, this was an opportunity that he could not miss.
He had been the deputy district chief in charge of education for a few years. There was going to be a change of leadership in the district committee soon. He did not have much hope because he was ranked at the bottom. But now, he saw a glimmer of hope.
Of course, he had to seize this opportunity.
Xia Ruofei did not have any special plans today. Besides, He Feng had put in a lot of effort to help Nan Nan enter the school. In the future, Nan Nan would be in He Feng's district. Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not want to reject him. He thought about it and nodded.
He Feng was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Mr. Xia, my car will lead the way!"
Xia Ruofei thought about it and said, "Mayor He, please wait for a moment."
After that, Xia Ruofei quickly walked to his car, opened the door and got in from the back seat.
He took out a small box of tea leaves from the interspace.
Xia Ruofei felt that he should express his gratitude to He Feng for helping Nan Nan with her studies.
This small box of tea leaves was the best Da Hong Pao tea leaves that Xia Qing had made himself. Xia Ruofei had specially bought some exquisite small clay pots. Each pot could only hold about one tael of tea leaves.
In fact, even one tael of tea leaves was a very precious gift. However, Xia Ruofei's things were quite expensive. For example, he had a gift box of Iron maple bucket in the interspace. That was worth one to two hundred thousand yuan.
Even if Xia Ruofei did not care about this small amount of money, it was enough to bribe He Feng.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to give He Feng a small box of tea leaves to express his gratitude.
After taking the tea leaves, Xia Ruofei got out of the car. He walked to He Feng and handed him the clay pot. He smiled and said, "Mayor He, I've troubled you this time. I don't have much to give you, so take this as a small token of my appreciation!"
He Feng quickly declined. "Mr. Xia, you don't have to be so courteous! It's just a small matter. How would I dare to accept your gift? "
Xia Ruofei pretended to be angry. "Mayor He, do you think my gift is too poor?"
"No, no!" He Feng quickly said. "Then … then thank you, Mr. Xia."
Then, he happily took the tea leaves.
From He Feng's point of view, this small clay pot could not hold much tea leaves. However, Xia Ruofei's kindness made him happy from the bottom of his heart.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mayor He, this Da Hong Pao is not bad. It's just that the annual production is too low, so I don't have much of it myself. Don't think I'm stingy …"
Xia Ruofei could tell that He Feng's thoughts were not on the tea leaves, so he reminded him tactfully. If you give something, you should at least let the other party know the value of it. Doing good deeds without leaving a name was not Xia Ruofei's style.
Only then did He Feng realize that this seemingly unremarkable little pot of tea could be very precious. In the Southeast Province, almost everyone knew a little about tea. Adding on the fact that Xia Ruofei had mentioned Da Hong Pao, He Feng could not help but be slightly moved.
He quickly asked, "Mr. Xia, is this Da Hong Pao …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Although it's not from the mother tree, the quality is about the same."
He Feng hurriedly said, "Aiya, this is too precious."
He was very shocked. Not only because he knew the value of Da Hong Pao from the mother tree, but more importantly, he knew very well that tea leaves of this quality would not be sold on the market. Only some leaders could get a certain amount of them.
But Xia Ruofei was able to give away tea leaves of this quality. What did this mean? It was already self-evident.
He Feng was even more convinced that he had met a benefactor. While he was rejoicing, he also secretly made up his mind that he must seize this opportunity. Even if this reorganization did not go any further, he must continue to maintain a good relationship with Mr. Xia.
After He Feng thanked Xia Ruofei again, he and Xia Ruofei went back to their respective cars. He Feng personally drove in the front and led the way.
Xia Ruofei followed behind. As he drove, he felt that the road was somewhat familiar. He could not help but mutter, "Don't tell me we're going to Xijiang Club again?"
It turned out that Xia Ruofei had guessed right. He Feng drove all the way to the side door of Xijiang Club. After he honked, he stuck his head out and waved his hand. Immediately, the staff opened the door and let them in.
Even if an ordinary person had a club membership card, they could only park their car outside the scenic area and walk in.
Although He Feng's rank was not very high, as he was only a deputy director, Xijiang Club was opened in his district. As a leader of the district government, he still had some influence.
Xia Ruofei smiled and drove in as well.
The two of them parked their car under the guidance of the staff. Immediately, a tall and beautiful hostess in a cheongsam led them to the private room.
The two of them walked through the quiet bamboo forest path and came to the private room "Lotus Pond Moonlight" that He Feng had booked in advance.
Xia Ruofei had been to Xijiang Club several times, so he knew that "Lotus Pond Moonlight" should be the best private room in the club.
This private room was not only decorated in an antique style, but it was also the largest and the location was quite good. Through the window, one could appreciate the bamboo forest in the courtyard and the lotus leaves on the pond.
Although the private room at noon was not as crowded as at night, it was obvious that He Feng had put in a lot of effort.
When the two of them came to the private room, a classic beauty in a cheongsam with a blue and white porcelain style came to make tea and serve them.
Xia Ruofei and He Feng sat at the tea table in front of the window. Opposite them was a quiet beauty in a cheongsam who was making tea very elegantly. A faint tea fragrance floated in the room, and there was a faint zither music in their ears. In such an environment, they also relaxed their bodies and minds.
He Feng was just chatting with Xia Ruofei. He did not deliberately ask about Xia Ruofei's identity or his relationship with Song Qiming. He was just looking for topics that interested Xia Ruofei in the chat, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When the two of them arrived at Xijiang Club, it was about 10 o 'clock. Time slipped away quietly while drinking tea and chatting.
When it was almost 11 o 'clock, Xia Ruofei heard a faint noise outside the door.
The door of the private room was soundproof, so He Feng did not notice any sound. However, Xia Ruofei's hearing was much better than ordinary people, so he could hear it.
A young voice said discontentedly, "Mr. Zheng, what do you mean? Is it because I, Yang Chien-jen, don't have enough face? Isn't it just a private room? Are you going to give me a quick answer or not? "
Then, Xia Ruofei heard CEO Zheng's voice from West River Moon. "Young Master Yang, those who come here are all our members. The customer is God. This Lotus Pond Moonlight Club has indeed been booked in advance, and the customer has already arrived …"
"Then let's change it!" Yang Chien-jen said indifferently. "I heard that there are only two guests here. Isn't it a waste for two people to use such a big private room?"
"This … This might not be appropriate …" Mr. Zheng also knew that the Lotus Pond Moonlight Club private room was booked by the leaders of Zhonglou District, so he was very embarrassed.
Yang Chien-jen said casually, "What's wrong with this? Do you know who we're hosting today? That's a very important leader. I'm not scaring you, but with a word from this leader, your club will not be able to continue operating … "
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm relying on the help of these important people …" Mr. Zheng said.
Yang Chien-jen raised his voice and said, "Mr. Zheng, go in and tell the people inside to change a private room for them. Just tell them my name …"
"This …"
"You're not going, right? Then I'll go by myself! "Yang Chien-jen said coldly.
"No, no, no, Young Master Yang, please calm down …" Mr. Zheng said quickly. "I … I'll try …"
Then, Xia Ruofei heard Mr. Zheng's footsteps approaching from afar.
Xia Ruofei could not help but secretly shake his head. Business was not easy these days! Although Chief Zheng usually had a wide circle of friends and this meeting was very popular, the hardships involved were not enough for outsiders to know.
Just as Xia Ruofei was lamenting, Mr. Zheng came to the door and knocked lightly before walking in.
Mr. Zheng's face was apologetic. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Mayor He, no …"
Mr. Zheng stopped halfway because he saw Xia Ruofei looking at him with a smile.
He only knew that He Feng had booked this private room from the reservation information, but he never expected that He Feng's guest would be Xia Ruofei.
"Boss Xia!" Mr. Zheng said in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I was wondering why the magpies kept chirping today! "
Surprised, He Feng asked, "Mr. Xia, do you know Mr. Xia?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I'm old friends with Mr. Zheng …"
"Yes, yes, yes, old friends, old friends …" Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei looked at the door meaningfully and asked, "Oh right, Mr. Zheng, why are you here?"
Only then did Mr. Zheng realize that there was a difficult person waiting outside the door! He quickly weighed the pros and cons, then secretly gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just heard that Mayor He was here, so I came to say hello. I didn't expect Boss Xia to be here too! Um … You guys chat, I'll come over to propose a toast later! "
Then, Mr. Zheng nodded slightly at Xia Ruofei and He Feng, then quickly left the private room.
As soon as Mr. Zheng came out, Yang Chien-jen, who was not far away, asked loudly, "How was it, Old Zheng? Did it work by using my name?"
