Director Wang and the others saw Xia Ruofei walk over, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts. They quickly walked over to greet him.
Director Wang couldn't wait to say, "Xia Shao! Previously, I was blind and unintentionally offended you. Please forgive me … "
"Mr. Xia, today's matter was a misunderstanding. We were blind, please don't take it to heart …"
"Xia …"
Xia Ruofei saw the four of them trying to explain themselves, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Seeing Xia Ruofei's displeased expression, the four of them shut their mouths at the same time as if a switch had been flipped. They looked at Xia Ruofei uneasily.
Xia Ruofei looked at Director Jiang and Director Wang and said coldly, "Take the initiative to return the money for tonight's meal to Xu Yuanyuan."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Director Jiang and Director Wang replied.
Even if Xia Ruofei didn't say it, they would have done so anyway. Tonight's meal wasn't going to be good!
"Go!" Xia Ruofei said lightly.
"Then … Xia Shao, about Director Cao …" Director Jiang asked carefully.
Xia Ruofei looked at him and asked calmly, "Director Jiang, do you want me to praise you in front of Cao Jin?"
"I wouldn't dare …" Director Jiang smiled embarrassedly.
Xia Ruofei said impatiently, "I don't have the time to let Cao Jin go in and mess with you guys …"
Director Jiang and Director Wang were slightly relieved. Although Cao Jin would inevitably have a bad impression of them, it was better than deliberately targeting them in the future.
With the influence of Cao Jin's position, he didn't even need to do anything. All he needed to do was hint at the right time, and perhaps their careers would suffer a heavy blow.
If Cao Jin used more force, people like Director Jiang and Director Wang wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation at all. Perhaps they would lose their jobs and go to jail in a matter of minutes.
Xia Ruofei said, "Let me give you two a piece of advice. Whether you're an official or a person, it's best to have a bottom line. If you walk by the river often, your shoes will definitely get wet!"
Director Jiang and Director Wang felt that their backs were already soaked in cold sweat. Xia Ruofei's simple words made them tremble in fear. They probably had a guilty conscience.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Division Chief Jiang hurriedly said, "We will definitely remember Young Master Xia's instructions. We will be honest and honest officials!"
"Thank you Xia Shao for your advice!" Director Wang also said.
"Go!" Xia Ruofei said.
"then we'll leave!"
"Thank you, Xia Shao!"
Director Jiang and Director Wang left the hotel as if they were escaping from something.
Xia Ruofei looked at their backs thoughtfully. In fact, he knew that these two people were probably not clean, but he didn't have the time to care so much. He wasn't the savior of the world. Besides, if the water was too clear, there would be no fish. No matter how powerful Song Zhengping was, it was impossible to guarantee that there wouldn't be a single parasite in the cadres of the province.
After the two junior leaders left, Zhuang Cheng and Yao Na were still standing there, trembling in fear.
Xia Ruofei was still the same old Xia Ruofei, but before Cao Jin appeared, Yao Na felt that he was a country bumpkin who hadn't seen the world. However, now Xia Ruofei was still so indifferent, but Yao Na and Zhuang Cheng felt an invisible pressure in front of him. They felt that he was full of power.
"Xia Shao!" Yao Na called out nervously.
Xia Ruofei glanced at her lightly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Compared with Director Jiang and Director Wang, Xia Ruofei was more disgusted with Yao Na.
At most, those two took the benefits but didn't do anything, and put on airs. However, Yao Na was a bit nasty. If you didn't want to help, then don't agree. After agreeing, you didn't have any sincerity. You were just fooling Xu Yuanyuan, and your words were so unpleasant.
As for Zhuang Cheng, he wasn't a good person either. Just now, he even threatened Xia Ruofei. He was full of banditry. It was unknown how such a person got into the system.
Yao Na said in fear, "Xia Shao, just now we …"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand directly and asked, "If I didn't know Cao Jin, were you not going to let me leave Tanzhou in one piece?"
"No, no … Those were just words I said in a moment of confusion …" Zhuang Cheng said submissively.
"Xia Shao, we didn't recognize Mount Tai. You are a big shot in the upper class, so don't lower yourself to our level," Yao Na said pitifully.
Seeing Yao Na's coquettish appearance, Xia Ruofei was even more disgusted. At the same time, he was a little dispirited. He thought to himself, "Why should I lower myself to the level of such a small person?"
He waved his hand and said, "Okay! You guys can leave too! "
"Then … then we …"
Yao Na still wanted to try to ease the relationship, but she was interrupted by Zhuang Cheng gently pulling on her clothes.
They should be thankful that Xia Ruofei didn't pursue the matter. What else did he want? As for this incident, Director Jiang had a very bad impression of them, and it was irreversible. Could they still expect Xia Ruofei to help them?
Zhuang Cheng said first, "Xia Shao, I'm sorry again! Then … we'll leave too … "
After that, Zhuang Cheng pulled Yao Na and the two of them walked to the door in a daze.
Xia Ruofei said loudly behind them, "If I find out that Xu Yuanyuan has been wronged at home in the future, you know the consequences!"
Zhuang Cheng and Yao Na trembled slightly. They quickly turned around and said, "We wouldn't dare! Yuanyuan is also our family. We'll get along well as a family from now on! "
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "Take care!"
After that, he turned around and walked to the elevator, ignoring Zhuang Cheng and Yao Na, who were having mixed feelings.
Xia Ruofei took the elevator upstairs and went to Song Wei's room.
Everyone was in the small living room of the suite. Because of Cao Jin's presence, Zhuang Yan and Xu Yuanyuan seemed a little restrained.
"Done?" Song Wei asked with a smile.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I sent them away."
Cao Jin's eyes flashed and he asked, "Mr. Xia, do you need me to …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "Forget it. They're just a few small bureaucrats. There's no need to argue with them."
Cao Jin nodded with a smile.
Since Xia Ruofei had spoken, he wouldn't pursue these people. However, he still needed to teach them a lesson when the time was right.
In Cao Jin's position, he might not be able to help people get things done, but if he wanted to ruin something, it was simply too easy.
To give a simple example, the difference in the order in which different documents were placed could have a great impact on the reading of documents. It was directly related to Song Zhengping's attention.
It was too easy for Cao Jin to control a deputy director and a deputy director of a government office!
Xia Ruofei talked with Cao Jin and the others gently for a while. Cao Jin also took the initiative to call the director of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Affairs in front of everyone and told him about Xu Yuanyuan's matter.
Director Zheng Jianming usually found it difficult to talk to Cao Jin, so how could he hesitate for such a simple thing? He patted his chest directly on the phone and promised that it would be done immediately. As long as Xu Yuanyuan could be admitted as a postgraduate student, she could be admitted with a staff and enjoy the benefits of tuition reimbursement.
When Xu Yuanyuan heard that her matter was settled so easily, she felt like she was in a dream. She had been through a lot of trouble for this postgraduate entrance examination. She even humbled herself to beg Yao Na and was reprimanded by Yao Na. In the end, there was no progress at all.
The young couple hurriedly expressed their gratitude to Cao Jin. Of course, they didn't forget to thank Xia Ruofei. They all knew that Cao Jin was doing this for Xia Ruofei's sake.
Cao Jin sat for a while and took the initiative to leave.
He came here today to make friends and try to leave a good impression on Xia Ruofei. Now it seemed that he had overachieved his task.
Cao Jin even wondered if he should thank those two little bureaucrats for this.
Cao Jin knew that Song Wei and Xu Yuanyuan hadn't seen each other for a long time. They must have a lot to talk about. It wasn't convenient for them to talk with him here, so he tactfully said goodbye.
Xia Ruofei personally walked Cao Jin to the door of the room. Cao Jin hurriedly said, "Mr. Xia, please wait! Please wait! "
He didn't dare to let Xia Ruofei walk him downstairs again. This was Secretary Song's distinguished guest, and it could be seen that Secretary Song treated him like a junior in his family. He couldn't afford such a person personally walking him downstairs.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Cao Jin, "Secretary Cao, thank you for today. Please tell Uncle Song that we will go back to visit him before we leave Xiangnan. During this period, we don't need to trouble you. We can just walk around and have a look!"
Cao Jin's heart was slightly happy, and he hurriedly agreed.
Xia Ruofei letting him pass the message was a kind of praise for him. This way, Song Zhengping would know that he had taken the initiative to visit Xia Ruofei. And Xia Ruofei obviously hinted that he would put in a good word for him the next time he visited Song Zhengping. This was the biggest surprise for Cao Jin.
After Cao Jin left, Xu Yuanyuan and Zhuang Cheng were obviously relieved.
Xia Ruofei went back to the room. Xu Yuanyuan smiled and asked, "Weiwei, what does Secretary Cao do? Even Director Wang and Director Jiang were like mice seeing a cat when they saw him. And he settled my matter with one phone call! "
Just a few minutes after Cao Jin called Director Zheng Jianming, Xu Yuanyuan received a call from the director of the Cultural Relics Bureau. On the phone, the director, who was usually serious, was very kind. He personally expressed to Xu Yuanyuan that the bureau fully supported her to take the postgraduate entrance examination. He also told her that she didn't have to go to work from tomorrow onwards. She could focus on studying at home for the exam. Of course, her salary would still be paid.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "You know that he is Secretary Cao. Of course, he is a secretary!"
Xu Yuanyuan said, "A secretary has so much power? Don't tell me that he is the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee's Secretary Song! "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "Your guess is quite accurate!"
Xu Yuanyuan couldn't help but open her eyes wide and said, "Classmate Xia Ruofei, are you kidding?"
Then she looked at Song Wei. Seeing that Song Wei also smiled and nodded, she murmured, "He is really Secretary Song's secretary! No wonder … "
Then Xu Yuanyuan looked at Xia Ruofei in surprise and said, "So, the Uncle Song you mentioned to Secretary Cao at the door just now …"
Xia Ruofei nodded with a wry smile, and Song Wei quickly said, "Yuanyuan, Ruofei and Secretary Song's family have some relationship. It's enough that you know about this. Don't tell anyone! It's not good for the reputation … "
While Song Wei was reminding Xu Yuanyuan, she also cleverly drew a line between herself and Xu Yuanyuan. Most of her classmates did not know about her family background, so she did not want to taint their friendship because of these factors.
Xu Yuanyuan didn't doubt him. She looked Xia Ruofei up and down, and then said, "Weiwei, it seems that you have hooked up with a rich husband! He is much more capable than our Zhuang Yan! "
Zhuang Yan smiled and looked at Xu Yuanyuan dotingly, without the slightest anger.
Song Wei blushed and said in a low voice, "Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth! We don't have that kind of relationship … "
"I know, I know!" Xu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "You even booked two rooms! What a waste. You spent so much money to book a room, and then you were idle all night … "
Song Wei was speechless. Now he couldn't explain it clearly.
Xu Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Why don't you just let me and Zhuang Yan stay in one room? Anyway, you won't be able to use it. We haven't experienced the luxury of a five-star hotel yet! "
"You little girl, how dare you say anything!" Song Wei said coquettishly.
"I am a married woman now!" Xu Yuanyuan said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly said, "Zhuang Yan, let's sit in my room! They haven't seen each other for a long time, and they must have a lot to talk about. Let's not disturb them … "
Zhuang Yan habitually looked at Xu Yuanyuan, asking for her opinion. After seeing Xu Yuanyuan nod, he stood up.
Xia Ruofei saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh. Zhuang Yan is also a strong man, but it's a pity that he is henpecked …
Xia Ruofei left the space for the two friends and took Zhuang Yan to his room.
Xia Ruofei gave Zhuang Yan a cigarette, and the two of them sat in the suite's reception room and chatted.
Zhuang Yan was also a heavy smoker. Because there was a woman around, he felt very uncomfortable holding it in.
Cigarettes could quickly close the distance between the two of them. Even Zhuang Yan, who was somewhat reticent, was no longer so restrained.
"Brother Xia, your cigarette tastes so good. What brand is it?" Zhuang Yan asked.
"The elders in my family gave it to me. There is no label." Xia Ruofei smiled, then opened his bag and rummaged through it. There were still two packs of unopened special cigarettes. He took them out and gave them to Zhuang Yan. He said, "There are only two packs left. If you don't mind, you can keep them!"
Zhuang Yan didn't recognize the special cigarettes, but as an old smoker, he could tell that it wasn't a normal cigarette after taking a few puffs. So he smiled and said, "How embarrassing is that?"
"Just take it! It's not something valuable! "Xia Ruofei said.
"Thank you, Brother Xia!" Zhuang Yan put the two packs of cigarettes into his pocket as if he had found a treasure.
Xia Ruofei took a puff and asked, "Zhuang Yan, is there any fun place in Xiangnan Province? Give me some suggestions! "
Xia Ruofei seemed to be chatting, but he actually wanted to ask about the ancient tomb. After all, Zhuang Yan was from the Cultural Relics Bureau. When the archeological team was in danger and someone died, although they took into account the factor of social panic and implemented a news control, people in the system like Zhuang Yan should still know about it.
