Chapter 66: Visiting the Provincial Party Secretary's Home (1)

  Looking at Liu Fei's stunned expression, Xu Jiaojiao elbowed him and said, "Hey, Liu Fei, what are you thinking about? I'm reminding you in advance that my dad heard everything we talked about today, so be prepared!"

  "My god, won't go! Liu Fei suddenly felt a chill all over his body, damn it, all his complaints were heard by the provincial party secretary. When they meet later, he'll be scolded badly for sure! I think it's better to slip away quietly!"

  Xu Jiaojiao can't give up! She is now thinking about how to get her father to approve of Liu Fei as her future fiancé. Although Xie Yuxin is also very beautiful, Xu Jiaojiao doesn't think she will lose to her. Moreover, she wants to ensure that if she and Xie Yuxin were to compete for Liu Fei in the future, her father would be able to help her out. Letting Liu Fei go now is clearly not an option!

  "Liu Fei, what are you afraid of? My dad isn't a tiger that eats people. Come with me, I think your brains should be enough to handle him. Let me tell you, my dad is actually a softie. As long as you apologize to him, everything will be fine!" Xu Jiaojiao grabbed Liu Fei's arm and pulled him towards the house.

  Liu Fei also figured it out, today he thought he could slip away, but it was impossible. So he gritted his teeth and steeled himself, saying to Xu Jiaojiao: "Hmph, isn't he just the provincial party secretary? What's the big deal? Isn't he also a person with one nose and two eyes? At worst, I'll just quit this official job and go back to Beijing to do my own business. Where can they not let me earn a living?! But if they want me to apologize to him, forget it!" After saying that, he strode forward.

  Xu Jiaojiao found Liu Fei's morale was high, and she had a liking for him in her heart. When looking at Liu Fei, her eyes shone brightly: "Ah, this is what it means to be a man! Look, the man I've chosen doesn't even put the provincial party secretary in his eyes, I like it! Indeed, he's arrogant enough!" Then, Xu Jiaojiao also followed Liu Fei's footsteps, jogging along to catch up.

  After walking for a while, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly stopped and pulled Liu Fei's arm hard, saying: "Liu Fei, stop!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "This isn't the way to my home, we've passed it!" Xu Jiaojiao said, pointing with her hand at a two-story building 100 meters behind them.

  Liu Fei looked at the small building, wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh: "Oh, I was so focused on moving forward just now!"

  Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but purse her lips and smile slightly, thinking to herself that Liu Fei was really adorable, although he spoke so boldly on the surface, in reality he was still a bit nervous.

  Liu Fei thought to himself at this moment: "Damn, it's impossible for a brother not to be nervous, after all, that's the provincial party secretary, the absolute big shot on the land of Hebei Province! However, no matter what, making me apologize is out of the question!"

  Following Xu Jiaojiao's footsteps, I arrived at the Provincial Party Committee Mansion No. 1.

  After entering the house, it was the living room. In the living room, a tall man was sitting on the sofa watching the news broadcast. After Xu Jiaojiao led Liu Fei in and holding his hand, she said to the man: "Dad, I've brought Liu Fei to you, you guys chat!" After finishing speaking, Xu Jiaojiao turned around and ran upstairs.

  The man just grunted and didn't even lift his head.

  Liu Fei stood beside the sofa, looking at the man on the sofa, who was none other than Xu Guangchun, the provincial party secretary. He found that he was intently watching TV, without even a hint of movement in his eyes.

  Liu Fei said, it seems that this old man is really jealous of me. Now he doesn't even look at me in the eye. Forget it, anyway I've scolded him enough, now it's fine to be punished. So, he stood up straight with his chest out, head held high, and eyes fixed on Xu Guangchun. He thought to himself, "I'll see how long you can keep me standing here, I'm not afraid of you, after all, I've been kept waiting by Governor Jiang before." What's the big deal about being made to stand during a leader's study session? I'll just wait, who did I scold anyway?!

  Half an hour had passed, the news broadcast was over and the weather forecast had started. Liu Fei's legs were also aching from standing for so long. Xu Guangchun finally raised his head and said coldly: "Sit down!"

  Liu Fei plopped down onto the sofa, but quickly straightened his body, with only a small part of his buttocks remaining on the couch. He had carefully studied the official rules and unofficial rules, knowing that when meeting leaders, especially high-ranking ones, these details were still important to pay attention to. Otherwise, it would give the leader a bad impression. Although he didn't have big ambitions, he did want to be promoted to deputy department level, or else he wouldn't be able to see his biological parents again. So he paid attention to these details.

  Xu Guangchun's eyebrows furrowed slightly as soon as he saw Liu Fei plop down on the sofa, but when he saw him quickly adjust his posture, his eyebrows relaxed a bit. Leaning back against the sofa, Xu Guangchun gazed at Liu Fei's face and said, "I heard I made you very unhappy?"

  Pfft! Liu Fei felt his heart racing violently, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "How frustrating! How could this old man's first sentence be so provocative? Is he really going to scold me today?"

  No way, I've got to think of a way to muddle through, furrowing my brow, the words on the tip of my tongue: "Hmm, yes, Secretary Xu, you may not know that the two sentences you said yesterday made me quite depressed!"

  Xu Guangchun noticed that Liu Fei's eyes were rolling around, and thought to himself, "This kid reacts pretty quickly, I'd like to see how he responds." So he coldly said: "Oh, really? Then tell me, what did I do to make you so unhappy? Many people can't wait to come here and report to me every day!"

  Liu Fei couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart: "This provincial party secretary is indeed the provincial party secretary, one sentence and the trap was set. Hmph, but I'm not a dim-witted lamp either!" He smiled and said: "Secretary Xu, I told you not to get angry, things are like this, you asked me to come to your house tonight, which was originally a good thing, I also wanted to come to your house to report on my work! This was originally a good thing, but your one sentence triggered a chain reaction, Minister Hou and Commissioner Xie successively invited me to their homes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. In fact, going to their homes was not a problem either, it's just that you assigned a task at the meeting, which made me thoroughly depressed. I'm the secretary of the leader, so I have to write a draft for the leader, but I don't know how to write a draft, and the leader only gave me 10 days to write it. However, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I also have to pay respects to the leaders, my time to write the draft is left with only 7 pitiful days. Secretary Xu, do you see that I'm very depressed? Is my depression all caused by you?"

  "Pfft!" Upstairs, Xu Jiao was secretly eavesdropping on the conversation from the railing. She had originally wanted to come out and help Liu Fei in his time of crisis, but unexpectedly, her father's one sentence had led this guy to spout such a large pile of excuses! And at first glance, they even seemed quite reasonable, making it seem like Father was in the wrong! But upon closer thought, this was clearly just sophistry! Things can't be explained away like that!

  At this moment, Xu Guangchun's face again showed seven or eight black lines, looking at Liu Fei sitting there, speaking straightforwardly and confidently. He couldn't help but feel a little amused in his heart, this kid is clever, too clever, originally he had a belly full of anger that was dissipated by these few words, only you kid are also too arrogant, I am the provincial party secretary, in front of me showing off your cleverness, that won't do, if you don't correct your sharp temper, you'll be turned upside down, just wait and see how I deal with you!

  Then Xu Guangchun smiled lightly and said...
