Yang Chien-jen quickly waved his hand and said, "I wouldn't dare … Director Cao, then … then I won't disturb you. I'll take my leave first …"
Cao Guangzhi didn't look at Yang Chien-jen. He just faintly nodded, then turned to Xia Ruofei.
Yang Chien-jen was very regretful. He hesitated, then said to Xia Ruofei, "Xia … Xia Shao, I'm really sorry for offending you just now. If there's a chance next time, I'll arrange a drink to apologize to you …"
In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't pay attention to Yang Chien-jen from beginning to end. At first, Yang Chien-jen was sarcastic, but Xia Ruofei was still sitting on the sofa with a calm face.
At that time, Yang Chien-jen subconsciously felt that Xia Ruofei was guilty, so he was very dismissive of him.
Now that he thought about it, Cao Guangzhi didn't even put him in his eyes. He just sat there and watched the show!
Yang Jianren couldn't help but smile bitterly. His performance of jumping up and down just now was no different from that of a clown.
He looked at Xia Ruofei nervously, hoping that he would take the initiative to admit defeat and get a response from Xia Ruofei.
However, Xia Ruofei acted like he didn't hear him. He smiled and said to Cao Guangzhi, "Brother Cao, I heard that civil servants aren't allowed to drink within eight hours. Don't make a mistake just because you're eating with me!"
Cao Guangzhi laughed and said, "Today, the secretary gave me half a day off. Tomorrow, I'll continue to do research in various districts and counties! So, drinking with you definitely won't be a problem … "
When Cao Guangzhi said this, although his face was full of smiles, he secretly sighed. Today, Song Qiming had some private matters to deal with at home. It seemed that an important guest was visiting, so he gave Cao Guangzhi half a day off.
If it was a secretary who had been with the leader for a few years, this kind of private matter would definitely be handled by the secretary. This meant that Song Qiming did not really treat Cao Guangzhi as one of his people.
Cao Guangzhi also had a sense of crisis. Of course, he also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. Only when he worked hard in the future to show that he was worthy of the secretary's trust, then the secretary would slowly treat him as one of his own.
For example, meeting Xia Ruofei today was a very good opportunity.
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said, "Brother Cao, then I won't be polite. Today, I've formed an alliance with Mayor He, and I swear I won't stop until you're drunk!"
He Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile, "You two have a fair duel. I'll be the referee …"
While Xia Ruofei and the other two were chatting happily, Yang Chien-jen, who had been ignored, was feeling awkward.
He couldn't leave, but he couldn't stay either.
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Chien-jen could only bite the bullet and said to Xia Ruofei, "Xia Shao, then I won't disturb you and Director Cao. Take your time …"
After that, he didn't ask for a snub. He bowed slightly and then left the Lotus Pond Moonlight Private Room.
He Dong and the other followers naturally didn't dare to breathe too loudly. They silently followed Yang Chien-jen out of the private room.
At this time, Director Zheng of Xijiang Moon Club came up and said, "Boss Xia, Director Cao, Mayor He, please wait for a moment. I'll arrange for the kitchen to prepare the dishes right away!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Director Zheng."
"Director Zheng, according to my previous menu, add a few more dishes," He Feng said, "and a few bottles of Zui Ba Xian wine."
Due to the cooperation with the Taoyuan Company, Xijiang Moon Club had a stable supply of wine. The Zui Ba Xian wine, which was in high demand outside, was also supplied in sufficient quantities here.
"Okay, okay." Director Zheng said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is done properly."
After that, Director Zheng went to make the arrangements himself.
Only Xia Ruofei and the other two people were left in the noisy private room.
At this time, Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Brother Cao, who was that clown just now? What's with the noise? "
Cao Guangzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xia, Yang Chien-jen's father, Yang Jinsheng, is the executive deputy minister of the Municipal Party Organization Department. This kid opened his own trading company and relied on his father's connections to buy low and sell high. He made a lot of money …"
Xia Ruofei curled his lips when he heard this. This kind of low-level playboy was not worthy of his attention.
Cao Guangzhi saw Xia Ruofei's disapproving expression and quickly explained, "Brother Xia, before I joined the First Secretary Department, I worked in the Organization Department. Minister Yang Chien-jen is my old boss. These days, Yang Chien-jen has invited me several times. Today, I agreed because I was too embarrassed to refuse. I didn't expect him to do this. I'm really sorry …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Brother Cao, why are you apologizing to me? This has nothing to do with you at all! "
Cao Guangzhi said, "Brother Xia, Yang Jianren's life has been smooth-sailing since he was young. He's used to being arrogant and domineering. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He offended you today. I'll teach him a lesson later!"
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Brother Cao, I'm not that petty. It's not worth it to lower yourself to the level of this kind of person. But … "
Xia Ruofei hesitated when he said this. He originally wanted to remind Cao Guangzhi, but although the two of them called each other brothers, in fact, they had just met. It might not be a good thing to say too much.
When Cao Guangzhi heard this, he hurriedly said sincerely, "Brother Xia, if you have something to say, you can just say it. I won't hide it from you. I've been trembling with fear all these days. I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake. I'm about to have a nervous breakdown …"
Xia Ruofei saw that Cao Guangzhi's attitude was very sincere, so he nodded and said, "Brother Cao, it's nothing. I just wanted to remind you that your current status is more sensitive. You have to be more careful in communicating with others. Otherwise, it's easy to misinterpret it and it's easy to have a bad influence on yourself …"
Xia Ruofei's words were more tactful, but Cao Guangzhi understood. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Brother Xia, thank you for the reminder! Don't worry, I'll be more careful in the future. I won't have any interactions with people like Yang Chien-jen … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm just saying. Brother Cao, take care of yourself."
At this time, He Feng laughed and said, "Director Cao, Mr. Xia really opened his heart to you! Otherwise, he wouldn't have said these words. In my opinion, a rich playboy like Yang Chien-jen can't do anything right. It won't be good to have anything to do with him! "
He Feng had just had a falling out with Yang Chien-jen, so he didn't have to worry too much about what he said.
Although people in the government were particular about being smooth and stable, they were also particular about being decisive. Since he had already offended Yang Chien-jen, He Feng didn't expect to repair their relationship. He knew very well that Yang Chien-jen was very narrow-minded and would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
Instead of humiliating himself by trying to please Yang Chien-jen, it was better to seize the opportunity in front of him. If he could really rely on Secretary Song, let alone Yang Chien-jen, even Yang Jinsheng himself would have to think twice if he wanted to touch him.
"That's right, that's right." Cao Guangzhi nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Xia."
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "Brother Cao, don't be so polite. There's still a long way to go! Let's talk more when we have the chance. "
At this time, President Zheng knocked on the door and walked in. He personally led two waitresses to start serving the dishes.
The clubhouse was not as busy at noon as it was at night. Coupled with President Zheng's personal supervision in the kitchen, the efficiency of the entire kitchen was maximized. Moreover, the dishes in the Lotus Pond Moonlight Private Room were prepared first. Therefore, in a short while, the wine and dishes were served like flowing water.
President Zheng didn't exactly serve the dishes according to He Feng's order. Instead, he made some changes. Xia Ruofei rarely visited the clubhouse, so he had to spend more effort on the dishes to satisfy Xia Ruofei.
The signature dishes of Xijiang Moon Clubhouse were all ordered. President Zheng also ordered many dishes that used Taoyuan vegetables as ingredients.
A box of the three-month premium Zui Ba Xian was also brought in.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei smiled and greeted He Feng and Cao Guangzhi to sit at the round table. The waitresses opened the Zui Ba Xian and President Zheng personally came over to pour wine for the three of them.
This made the waitresses secretly speechless. President Zheng was not an ordinary restaurant owner. The people who came in and out of the Xijiang Moon Clubhouse were all people of status, but they had never seen President Zheng treat guests so attentively.
When some heads of departments came to visit, President Zheng at most went over to toast. This was the first time he directly went down to be a waiter.
Therefore, those beautiful waitresses also secretly reminded themselves to do a good job of service and not neglect the distinguished guests here.
In the rich wine aroma, under Xia Ruofei's suggestion, the three of them raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine together. Then, they began to taste the dishes of Xijiang Moon Clubhouse's chef.
The three of them drank and chatted. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
…
The Lotus Pond Moonlight Room was happy and harmonious, but the atmosphere of the other group of people was more depressed.
Yang Chien-jen's face was gloomy after he left the Lotus Pond Moonlight Room. He had no intention of staying for dinner. He directly left the clubhouse with a few followers and drove away.
Along the way, He Dong sat carefully in the last row of the business car, guiltily paying attention to Yang Chien-jen's expression.
Yang Chien-jen sat in the car without saying a word. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Soon, the car arrived at a hillside villa in the northern suburbs.
Yang Chien-jen got out of the car with a cold face and walked quickly into the villa.
He Dong and the others naturally did not dare to say anything and quickly followed him in.
After entering the villa, He Dong walked quickly and explained with a smile, "Young Master Yang, I really don't know that Xia …"
He Dong was only halfway through his words when Yang Jianren suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and viciously kicked him.
Yang Chien-jen's body had already been hollowed out by wine and women. The speed of his kick was not fast, but He Dong did not dare to dodge at all. He could only watch the kick hit his stomach.
"Ugh …" He Dong groaned and fell to the ground, holding his stomach. His face turned pale.
Although Yang Chien-jen's body was a little weak, the kick was so close to He Dong that it was still very powerful.
He Dong felt like his stomach was being twisted by a knife. His stomach was also overturned, and he almost vomited on the spot.
Yang Chien-jen stood there and stared coldly at He Dong's eyes. He said, "You have guts. You even dare to fool me …"
Just now at the Xijiang Moon Club, if He Dong hadn't "reminded" him in time that Xia Ruofei was just a vegetable farmer who opened a small farm in the suburbs, he wouldn't have so unscrupulously mocked Xia Ruofei.
In this way, even if there were some disagreements between the two sides, it wouldn't be out of control like now.
Yang Chien-jen had long hated He Dong. He wanted to throw him into Min River to feed the fish.
Yang Chien-jen didn't say a word along the way, but the anger in his heart kept accumulating.
After entering the villa, He Dong came forward to explain with a straight face. Yang Chien-jen's anger finally exploded.
He Dong held his stomach and said pitifully, "Young Master Yang, I'm innocent! How would I dare to lie to you … I really didn't expect that kid to have such a good relationship with Director Cao … I … When I worked at Ling's Restaurant, he was really just a vegetable farmer who opened a small farm … "
As soon as he heard the words "vegetable farmer", Yang Chien-jen's anger burned even more.
In the Lotus Pond Moonlight Room, Yang Chien-jen had mocked Xia Ruofei more than once, saying that he was a "vegetable farmer country bumpkin," but what was the result in the end? Even Secretary Song's big secretary, Cao Guangzhi, the most popular person in the Sanshan officialdom, had to be polite to him.
Not only did he offend such a powerful person and play the role of a funny clown, but he also might have caused a lot of trouble for his father. Thinking of this, Yang Chien-jen was even more furious.
He kicked He Dong's chest heavily again and completely kicked him to the ground.
Then Yang Chien-jen took two steps forward and fiercely stepped on He Dong's face. The rough bottom of his leather shoes rubbed heavily on He Dong's white and clean face.
Yang Chien-jen's blue veins bulged as he stared at He Dong, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said darkly, "Bastard! Because of your words, not only did I offend Xia Shao, but I also angered Director Cao. Tell me, how should I 'thank' you? "
He Dong's soul was lost. He repeatedly begged, "Young Master Yang, please spare my life, Young Master Yang …"
At this time, his intestines were about to turn green with regret. He felt that Xia Ruofei was like his nemesis. Every time he met him, nothing good would come out of it.
Last time, he lost his job. This time, he was even more unlucky. He might even lose his life.
Yang Jianren's other lackeys were also scared to the point that their faces turned pale. They stood timidly at the side, not daring to speak.
In the villa's hall, there were also a few strong men in black. They all stood next to Yang Chien-jen with their arms crossed and stared at He Dong like a tiger watching its prey.
Yang Chien-jen coldly snorted and retracted his foot. He lightly said, "Beat him hard. Just leave him with one breath …"
After that, Yang Chien-jen turned and walked to the living room's leather sofa and sat down. He stretched out his hands on the back of the sofa and half reclined with his legs crossed. He coldly looked at He Dong.
Several black-clothed men heard this and immediately surrounded him.
He Dong repeatedly begged for mercy, "Young Master Yang, please let me go! I know I was wrong … "
The few men in black didn't have the slightest emotion in their eyes. One of them grabbed He Dong's collar and lifted him up. Then, he fiercely punched He Dong's face.
