Chapter 53: Conflict (1)

  Xu Jiaojiao walked up to Liu Fei's side, naturally wrapping her arm around his, as intimate as a couple, and sweetly smiled: "Liu Fei, you're here quite early!"

  Liu Fei smiled awkwardly: "I just arrived too. That Xu Jiaojiao, I want to tell you something."

  Xu Jiaojiao leaned her head on Liu Fei's shoulder, sweetly saying: "You say it, I'll agree to anything!" When she said this, Xu Jiaojiao's face was already flushed red. This sentence was a bit too ambiguous. After saying that, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Liu Fei.

  But then Liu Fei's face turned bright red, as if he was holding back his strength, could it be that he thought he was being hinted at not being good enough? Ah, this is so embarrassing! Xu Jiaojiao was so embarrassed that she simply closed her eyes.

  "It's like this, just now Xie Yuxin called and said she'll be over soon too!" Liu Fei said with a bitter expression, looking at Xu Jiaojiao with some embarrassment.

  Xu Jiaojiao originally had a sweet expression, but after hearing this sentence, she suddenly stood up straight, her eyebrows furrowed in anger, her eyes wide open, and she gritted her teeth as she asked: "Did you agree?"

  Seeing Xu Jiaojiao's puffed up appearance, seemingly ready to interrogate him, Liu Fei couldn't help but furrow his brow. He hated it the most when others interfered with his decisions, especially women. Even more so, he disliked it when others pointed fingers at his decisions. Therefore, seeing Xu Jiaojiao's expression and tone, his heart felt extremely uncomfortable, and he slightly furrowed his brow, coldly saying: "I agreed." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner door.

  Xu Jiaojiao originally wanted to question Liu Fei some more, why did he make an appointment with her and then also make an appointment with Xie Yuxin? However, she suddenly discovered that Liu Fei was so sensitive, as soon as she had a bit of a reaction, he immediately pulled down his face, clearly very dissatisfied with her. Thinking of Liu Fei's proud personality, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile wryly and think to herself, forget it, this little rascal won't care about my feelings anyway. Does being a girl mean I don't even have the right to be jealous? However, thinking of Xie Yuxin who would arrive at any moment, she gritted her teeth and thought, forget about being jealous for now, what's important is finding a way to win Liu Fei over. So she adjusted her mood, took big strides with her slender legs, caught up to Liu Fei, linked arms with him, and walked into the Bihai Yuntian Hotel together.

  The decoration of Bihai Yuntian Hotel is very characteristic, rich and magnificent but does not give people a sense of luxury.

  After entering, a large group of girls wearing cheongsam-style dresses and looking elegant stood in two rows, bowing and loudly greeting: "Good day, sir! Good day, miss!" As they bowed, they all revealed white and fluffy steamed buns.

  Entering the hall, coming to the seat that had already been booked in advance and sitting down, Liu Fei indicated for Xu Jiaojiao to order first.

  Liu Fei and his group were in a location inside the hotel, near the private room area. Today Liu Fei arrived relatively late, and the private rooms were already gone.

  Xu Jiaojiao sat down beside Liu Fei, leaving the seat opposite to Xie Yuxin. After ordering a few dishes, they started chatting casually.

  Xu Jiaojiao poked Liu Fei with her hand and laughed, saying: "Liu Fei, I heard you beat up Secretary Ma of the Provincial Governor!"

  Liu Fei nodded slightly: "That's right, people like him are just asking to be beaten, and he actually dared to trip me up. I won't cripple him!"

  Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Oh dear, Liu Fei, after all these years, your temper hasn't changed at all. You still can't bear to suffer a little bit of grievance."

  Liu Fei's waist was straight as a pen, and he said: "My principle has always been that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them! If someone provokes me, even if it's the king of heaven, I'll fight him!" As he spoke, Liu Fei emitted an aura of heroic fearlessness from head to toe.

  Listening to that loud and clear voice, looking at the kind of disdainful and fearless aura in Liu Fei's eyes, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but shine her eyes. Which woman doesn't have a crush on heroes? What is a hero? A hero is a man who is talented and yet knows how to advance and retreat. Those stupid men who are not satisfied with anyone are not heroes, they are rascals! Liu Fei was exactly that kind of man. Xu Jiaojiao had already learned from his father that Liu Fei's boss, Vice Governor Jiang Zhengyuan, had clashed with the Executive Vice Governor over Liu Fei's fight.

  What is called arrogant, this is called arrogant, hit someone and made a mistake, but still have someone to help take the blame! Moreover, it's just been less than a day since I met my new leader.

  Xu Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something important and rushed to Liu Fei, saying: "Liu Fei, you have to be careful, I heard that Governor Cui has already made arrangements with all the standing committee members, tomorrow they will all bring their secretaries to the meeting, saying it's to emphasize the issue of ratios! My dad said this thing is probably aimed at you, so be more careful tomorrow."

  Liu Fei was stunned, damn it, wasn't it just a fight with a broken secretary? Why did the governor come out in person?

  Xu Jiao saw Liu Fei's bewildered eyes and knew he didn't quite understand the situation, so she explained: "You hitting Cheng Hui is equivalent to slapping Vice Governor Ma in the face. Naturally, Vice Governor Ma will want to find a way to get back at you. Since Vice Governor Ma and Governor Cui are from the same faction, they'll definitely help take care of you. Honestly, Liu Fei, you were really too rash today. For a vice governor to want to teach a lesson to a small secretary like you is just a matter of lifting his hand."

  Liu Fei knew that Xu Jiao was doing it for his own good, so he gratefully smiled at her: "What you said is right, but I just can't stand that kind of humiliation. No matter who he is, if he dares to bully me, I won't cripple him, that's already being lenient. As for Vice Governor Ma and the others, let them do whatever they want, at worst, I'll just quit this civil servant job!"

  Xu Jiaojiao glared at Liu Fei and said, "In official circles, it's essential to be low-key as a person but high-profile in doing things!"

  Liu Fei sneered: "High-profile, low-key, who cares? I do things based on my conscience, I have no guilt in doing what I should do. Who cares about the unwritten rules? Screw it!"

  Xu Jiaojiao found that Liu Fei was indeed stubborn, and she really had no way to deal with him. She glanced at her watch and asked, "Will Xie Yuxin be here soon?" Liu Fei nodded, "Soon, she said she'd be here 20 minutes later. It's already been 15 minutes."

  At this moment, the door of the adjacent private room suddenly opened, and a disheveled girl rushed out. Her top was torn into strips, revealing a black lace-trimmed camisole underneath. With tears in her eyes and a panicked expression, she ran directly to the table next to Liu Fei's and grabbed onto a male customer's clothes, pleading: "Sir, please help me! Those hooligans are trying to take advantage of me!"

  Before her voice had fallen, four men with menacing auras rushed out of the private room. The one walking in front was a man who looked like a human being but wore a suit and tie, only his eyes were full of **. Seeing the girl pulling the man as if seeking help, he rushed over and slapped the girl, then used his hand to pull the woman.

  However, the woman grasped the customer's clothes tightly with her hand and refused to let go.
