Chapter 48: The Most Awesome Secretary

  Liu Fei saw that the other party had fallen silent and became somewhat impatient, thinking to himself: "No matter who you are, I'm being very polite in asking for your name. You don't say a word and still want me to transfer the call? That's not going to work. What if you're some kind of scammer?" Thinking this, he spoke with a slightly harsh tone: "Hello, is there anything else? If you won't give me your name, I'm hanging up!"

  The black line on Xu Guangchun's forehead spread to his face and then gradually receded, shaking his head. Liu Fei, this young man, was indeed reckless, daring to hang up the phone of the provincial party secretary himself. However, ignorance is bliss, so he let it go. In a low voice, he said: "I am Xu Guangchun. Give the phone to Jiang Zhengyuan."

  Liu Fei didn't know who Xu Guangchun was, but hearing the commanding tone in his speech made him feel uncomfortable. He thought to himself, "Who are you? You're too big a shot, just reporting your name and wanting me to transfer the call?" With a hint of annoyance, he said stiffly: "Xu Guangchun, is it? Please report your work unit and position."

  The black line that had just fallen on Xu Guangchun's head reappeared.

  At this moment, Deputy Governor Jiang pushed open the door and came out. He was about to go out to do something and happened to hear Liu Fei asking about Xu Guangchun's unit and position. Suddenly, sweat broke out on his forehead, thinking: "Liu Fei, my little ancestor, you don't even know who Xu Guangchun is, aren't you looking for trouble for me?" He rushed to Liu Fei's side in a hurry and said loudly: "Give me the phone!"

  Liu Fei was feeling pleased with himself, having just rendered his opponent speechless again. He was even more convinced that the other person was just messing around. Just as he was savoring the moment, he suddenly heard rapid footsteps and saw out of the corner of his eye that it was Vice Governor Jiang rushing over, holding a phone. Liu Fei was taken aback and looked at Jiang in confusion.

  Vice Governor Jiang glared at him fiercely, took the microphone and hastily apologized: "Secretary Xu, I'm sorry. Liu Fei has just taken office and doesn't understand many things. This is a mistake in my work. I will make sure to train him well in the future."

  Xu Guangchun smiled: "Zhengyuan, don't blame yourself for this. It's not your fault. Liu Fei is new to the job and doesn't know my name and phone number, which is normal. However, his work attitude is very strict. He didn't ask clearly about my name, unit, and position before handing over the phone to you, which is correct. This deserves praise. But tell him not to do it again!"

  Jiang Zhengyuan hastily nodded and said: "Yes, Secretary Xu, you are right. I will talk to him. I was just about to come find you to report on my work!"

  Xu Guangchun smiled and said: "Is it about promoting Qi Tao to Tangshi City?"

  Jiang Zhengyuan nodded and said: "Secretary Xu, you are really Zhuge Liang, guessing so accurately, it's this..."

  Liu Fei saw the respectful attitude of Governor Jiang on the phone and his previous words, and guessed that the call he had just answered was from the Provincial Party Secretary. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the Provincial Party Secretary of Hebei Province seemed to be surnamed Xu. Sweat burst out all over his body in an instant, and he was really shocked by himself! Oh my god, a small secretary like me dared to refuse the call from the Provincial Party Secretary, I'm really fed up with living, damn it, won't the Provincial Party Secretary resent me for this? This time is really unlucky.

  There's a saying: when someone is about to have bad luck, even drinking cold water can get stuck in their teeth. This saying isn't false at all.

  Just as Liu Fei was anxiously waiting for Governor Jiang to finish his phone call and scold him, in the adjacent office, Executive Vice Governor Ma Ao Wen was answering a call from Beijing, and the core figure in the conversation on the phone was Liu Fei. If he knew that at this moment, a provincial party secretary, a vice governor, and an executive vice governor were all talking about him, he would not know whether to be happy or depressed.

  The person who called Ma Ao Wen was Ma Tian Yu, the former deputy director of the Yanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau. [Characters appearing in Volume 1]

  "Uncle, I saw in the news that Liu Fei has been transferred to the provincial government as a secretary, it's really infuriating! Uncle, this time you must help me vent my anger!" Ma Tianyu said with a mix of anxiety and desperation.

  "Tianyu, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, what's going on, Uncle will take charge! But I'm a bit curious, he's just a small section-level secretary, how could he have offended you?" Ma Ao heard this and was confused, but he could sense his nephew's emotions. Among the three brothers of the Ma family, only the youngest brother had a son, Ma Tianyu, so the whole Ma family spoiled him. Now that he heard his favorite nephew had been wronged, he was indeed a bit angry.

  "Uncle, it's like this. More than half a year ago, when I was still the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Liu Fei and his two classmates got into a conflict with the hotel owner at a hotel and were taken to the police station. However, coincidentally, the son of Vice Minister Liu from the Ministry of Public Security was also involved, and he seemed to be classmates with them. I don't know what happened in the police station, but it ended up disturbing Vice Minister Liu, who went to the scene. As a result, it was Liu Fei who insisted that the hotel owner was a member of the underworld and said that I was his backer! After that, I was transferred to the Education Bureau. I didn't expect that this kid would climb so quickly. But, Uncle, I really can't swallow this insult. The reason I'm in this predicament today is all because of Liu Fei's meddling! Uncle, you must help me teach him a lesson and help me vent my anger!" After saying this, Ma Tianyu was actually choked with emotion.

  After hearing his beloved nephew's words, Ma Ao Wen's fire suddenly burst forth, thinking to himself: "Liu Fei, you little scoundrel, you dare to bully me, Ma Ao Wen? This is unbearable!" Hearing the choking sound of his nephew, his heart felt even more distressed. He comforted Ma Tian Yu by saying: "Tian Yu, you're already such a big person, do you need to be like this? Don't worry about this matter, Uncle will take care of it for you. It's just a small secretary, Uncle can deal with him in no time. Wait for my good news!"

  Ma Ao-wen hung up the phone and called his personal secretary, Cheng Hui, into the room. After giving him some instructions, Cheng Hui left as if he had received a sacred decree.

  At this moment, Vice Governor Jiang Zhengyuan, who had just exchanged views with Provincial Party Secretary Xu Guangchun, gently put down the receiver and looked at Liu Fei with a serious expression.

  Liu Fei saw Jiang Zhengyuan put down the phone, and he knew that a storm was likely to come soon. He had a question in his mind: how would Xu Guangchun, the provincial party secretary, or Vice Governor Jiang handle him?
