Chapter 65: Scolding the Bald-headed Monk

  Liu Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, "When did this old man come out? How did I not notice him?" His good idea had just been shot down! It seemed that this path was not feasible, and he had to start from scratch. But it was difficult for a computer science major like him to write an article on economic construction. What should he do? Unconsciously, Liu Fei fell into deep thought.

  Half an hour passed, Liu Fei was still thinking about how to deal with the matter of writing a draft, but after thinking for half a day, he still had no clue, which made him very depressed!

  The phone rang for half a day before finally startling Liu Fei out of his reverie! After answering, he heard Xu Jiaojiao's slightly reproachful tone: "Liu Fei, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer my call?"

  Liu Fei sighed and said: "Xu Jiaojiao, I'm worried about this!"

  "What's wrong with you? Isn't the matter of being beaten already over?"

  Liu Fei coughed and complained in a depressed tone: "Hey, it's not that thing, that thing is over. It's about the meeting today, the provincial party secretary suddenly assigned a task, saying that there will be an economic development seminar in half a month. As soon as I got back, my leader handed me the writing task. Don't you know? I hated writing compositions when I was in school! Why did this Xu old man have to assign this task, doesn't he make things difficult for me..."

  After listening, Xu Jiaojiao almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. She glanced at her old dad sitting next to her reading the newspaper and saw a few black lines on his forehead, thinking that something was wrong. She quickly picked up the phone and turned off the speakerphone, lest Liu Fei's complaints reach her father's ears, otherwise, it would be strange if she didn't make her father angry! After settling everything, Xu Jiaojiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought to herself that she had originally wanted to turn on the speakerphone so that her dad could know about her relationship with Liu Fei, so that he could take better care of him in the future. However, she didn't expect that today Liu Fei would suddenly start complaining to her for no reason, which was a very rare occurrence! Thinking about this, Xu Jiaojiao's heart was filled with joy, Ah, this is Liu Fei sharing his troubles with me! This means that Liu Fei doesn't consider me an outsider! This is much more progress than before. It seems that after spending time together, she had quietly entered Liu Fei's heart. She couldn't help but smile.

  "Cough, Jiao Jiao, turn on the speakerphone, I'd like to hear how this kid comments on me, the provincial party secretary!" Xu Guangchun's eyes were still fixed on the newspaper, but his tone of voice was somewhat strange.

  Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to open the handsfree again, and at this time, Liu Fei was still complaining: "Xu Jiaojiao, do you say I'm happy or unhappy?"

  "What's wrong?" Xu Jiaojiao asked.

  "Hey, this afternoon during the meeting, the provincial party secretary told me to go to his house tonight? What's going on here? I've long heard that those department heads and bureau chiefs like to go report work to their leaders. What can a small secretary like me report to the leader at home? Moreover, I've been causing trouble lately and was thinking of keeping a low profile, but then Xu old man goes and says this in front of so many people... now I'm really frustrated! Hey, you think I'm not depressed?"

  Liu Fei poured out all his thoughts to Xu Jiao without holding back. After more than half a year of getting along, plus their previous high school classmate relationship, Liu Fei had already categorized Xu Jiao and Xie Yu Xin as good friends in his heart. When he was with Xu Jiao, Liu Fei felt especially relaxed, because Xu Jiao's gentle nature made him feel like he was meeting a warm spring breeze. When he was with Xie Yu Xin, Liu Fei felt particularly stimulated, because this girl had an outgoing and straightforward personality, and was very open-minded and daring.

  Both girls were great to be around! But if he really had something on his mind, Liu Fei would rather talk to Xu Jiao, because she always liked to be a loyal listener, and could gently listen to him pour out his heart.

  Today, Liu Fei's mood was indeed not good. First, he almost got expelled at the Standing Committee meeting, although he managed to get through it safely, but that feeling of being on the chopping block made him feel extremely uncomfortable. The thing he hated most in his life was being unable to control things himself! However, now, not only did he have to take the path of being an official, but he also had to go through this kind of thing, and what made him even more depressed was that Provincial Committee Secretary Xu Guangchun asked him to go to his house for dinner and Jiang Zhengyuan asked him to write a draft. So, he suddenly vented to Xu Jiaojiao. At this moment, he didn't know at all that Xu Jiaojiao's father was Provincial Committee Secretary Xu Guangchun.

  Xu Jiaojiao's forehead sweated even more as she heard Liu Fei's words, and she hastily interrupted him, saying: "Liu Fei, you're off work now! Come to my place for dinner tonight!"

  Liu Fei sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't go to your place tonight. I have to go to the provincial party secretary's house for dinner. If I don't, he'll make things difficult for me! But I don't know where his house is! I'm so frustrated!"

  Xu Jiaojiao heard this and was so angry that she wanted to rush over and cover Liu Fei's mouth. Her forehead was sweating even more, and she secretly glanced at her father sitting there reading the newspaper. She found that her father's hand holding the newspaper began to tremble slightly, and his face turned iron-gray. Seeing him like this, Xu Jiaojiao knew that he was really angry! So, she immediately shouted loudly to Liu Fei: "The provincial party secretary's house is at 888 Yuhua West Road, Provincial Party Committee Compound 1st Building, my home is just here, hurry up and take a taxi over, I'll wait for you at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee Compound!" After finishing speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, but her heart began to beat violently. She walked quietly behind Xu Guangchun, gently pinched his shoulder, and said: "Dad, you can't get angry, Liu Fei was just talking nonsense!"

  Xu Guangchun snorted: "Hmph, you're so clever, go ahead and hurry to the entrance to receive him. I'd like to see what kind of image this provincial party secretary has in his eyes!"

  Liu Fei hung up the phone, walked out of the provincial government compound, hailed a taxi and headed straight to the provincial party committee compound at 888 Yu Hua Xi Road, thinking about what he should say when he met with the provincial party secretary.

  "Liu Fei, you've finally arrived, let's go, come home with me!" Seeing Liu Fei get out of the taxi, Xu Jiaojiao smiled and walked up to him, naturally taking his arm and walking inside.

  Liu Fei asked in surprise: "To your home? I'm going to the provincial party secretary's home!"

  Xu Jiaojiao's delicate little face turned red, and she coquettishly said: "You silly fool, isn't my family the Provincial Party Committee Secretary's family? Isn't my dad the Provincial Party Committee Secretary? You still haven't figured it out yet?"

  "Oh, is that so?" Liu Fei scratched his head, revealing a look of sudden realization.

  It's probably because he's too familiar with Xu Jiaojiao, otherwise, with his IQ, as long as he moves his brain a bit, he would have known. Thinking of the situation when he complained to Xu Jiaojiao before, Liu Fei felt a wave of depression in his heart! Oh no, isn't this like scolding a monk for being bald?! Sweat, how could it be like this?!
