Volume 3 Chapter 124 A Man's Choice!

  Liu Fei furrowed his brow this time. Because he was very clear that in the country of Huaxia, officials attached great importance to their own dignity! If it was said that a bet between two people actually used these officials as chips, then it would be too humiliating for them. He didn't go see Jiang Zhengyuan and the others because he didn't want them to show up, this kind of occasion absolutely couldn't let them show up, because once they showed up, even if he won himself, if this matter got out, it would also be very unfavorable for their official careers.

  Jiang Zhengyuan and others were also staring at Liu Fei. They did not expect Williams to come up with such a bizarre bet!

  Jiang Zhengyuan, Liu Jianqing, Xu Wei, and Xiao Yuanshan knew that as long as they made an appearance and supported Liu Fei slightly, Liu Fei would be in an unbeatable position! However, the problem was that if they appeared in this kind of gambling game, it would be extremely inappropriate. With so many people present today, as soon as they made an appearance, it would definitely trigger a huge earthquake in the official circle. This would have a great impact on their official career. Once utilized by political enemies, it would be a fatal blow! And once known by people of the same faction, they would also be seen as acting rashly, and their status would plummet. They could not afford such losses.

  Three people looked at each other, and they all saw hesitation in each other's eyes. Although they all appreciated Liu Fei and admired him very much, this was now a crucial moment that affected their own future prospects. They also knew that the resources that Liu Fei could mobilize were only among the four of them, and no one else could surpass the current Deputy Mayor of Yanjing City, Han Baosheng, because Yanjing City was a directly-controlled municipality, with a level equivalent to that of a province, and Han Baosheng was also a deputy-provincial-level cadre, equal in rank to the four people present!

  The onlookers were watching Liu Fei, they were just watching the excitement. They naturally did not know that Jiang Zhengyuan and others were all high-ranking officials at the deputy ministerial level, they thought that even if Liu Fei was formidable, he was so young, how could he possibly rely on his own face to summon a deputy provincial-level cadre to help him? They knew that this time Liu Fei had indeed lost! There was no room for reversal!

  Jiang Zhengyuan and Liu Jianqing are watching Liu Fei, they are looking at Liu Fei's choice. If Liu Fei chooses to let them come forward, they may be forced to come forward due to the situation, but afterwards, there will definitely be a rift between them and Liu Fei. Because this shows that Liu Fei is someone who doesn't understand things.

  Xue Lingyun was looking at Liu Fei, because in her heart, Liu Fei would never lose, never lose! Because Liu Fei is the god in her heart!

  Liu Peng, Xu Zhe and Xiao Qiang were also watching Liu Fei. They came from official families and had some understanding of the officialdom. They all knew that at this moment, Liu Fei was facing a very difficult situation.

  The scene was silent. There were only the thick and thin breathing sounds of the crowd, rising and falling one after another.

  No one spoke, everyone was waiting for Liu Fei to make his final decision.

  At this moment, Liu Fei also felt the silence on the scene. He could clearly hear his own breathing and feel his heartbeat.

  At this moment, his mind was extremely clear. He knew that as long as he spoke to any one of the four people including Jiang Zhengyuan, today's gamble would be a sure win for him! And if he lost, he would have to give the other party 600 million! Subtracting the 300 million he had won earlier, he would end up losing 300 million!

  This was the banquet hall of a five-star hotel, and the temperature inside the hall wasn't high, but at this moment, Liu Fei's head was covered in big sweat, with beads of sweat shining brightly under the light. Some flowed down smoothly, sliding down his cheeks, while others slid into Liu Fei's eyes along the corners of his eyes.

  But Liu Fei didn't move at all, his eyes didn't even blink.

  He stood quietly like that. He can now feel that he has become the focus of the entire banquet hall! All eyes are focused on him at this moment. He is now facing a very difficult choice!

  "Hahaha, Liu Fei, aren't you blind? Aren't you stupid? Humph, playing with me? I won't let you off easy! You're just a nouveau riche who got lucky and made some money, what makes you think you have the qualifications to gamble with me?" William's loud voice echoed through the hall, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.

  As soon as his voice came out, the hall was in an uproar. The onlookers, including the elites and beauties, began to whisper to each other and discuss heatedly.

  But nobody noticed that at this moment, more than a dozen waiters who had been shuttling back and forth among the crowd simultaneously pressed their ears, and then they suddenly changed their faces from smiling to serious expressions, and at the same time, a strong aura emanated from them. The people were still the same, but the momentum was completely different from that of the waiters before! These people moved slowly in the crowd, without arousing anyone's attention, but unintentionally, they had already controlled all the important entrances and high points in the hall. Then, their bodies stood straight, like a row of spears.

  "Williams' sneer continued: "Liu Fei, have you become mute? Can't even make a phone call? Don't you know anyone with power? Hmph, it's really..."

  Before Williams could finish speaking, Liu Fei suddenly pointed at him with his hand and said in a cold voice: "Shut up!"

  Williams' face faintly smiled with a cold smile: "What, admit defeat? Or make a call?"

  Liu Fei's face was calm, and he smiled at Hong Ke: "Hong Ke, give him the $40 million, write a check for 300 million yuan to him. Also, don't stop the charity foundation I promised earlier, just deduct the money directly from my shares."

  Hong Ke simply nodded silently, without any hesitation, took out a check from his pocket, picked up the pen and filled in a string of numbers, then handed it over to Williams along with the original check. His face showed no expression, not even a hint of regret for the money. He then returned to Liu Fei's side and said: "Boss, you're not being considerate enough, thinking of setting up a charity foundation on your own. How can I not be involved in such a good thing? We're good brothers after all! Since I don't have as much money as you do, I'll contribute 500 million, and together we can set up this charity foundation with a total of 2 billion to provide some help to these talented young people, the pride of our nation. As entrepreneurs, how can we forget our responsibility as descendants of the Yellow Emperor? Those students are the future of the country, and the country's prosperity depends on their growth. Being able to contribute to their growth is worth spending some money!"

  Liu Fei smiled and the two of them stretched out their hands, tightly clasping each other's.

  Williams looked at the two checks in his hand, extremely excited, and couldn't help but look at Liu Fei with a proud and disdainful expression: "How about it, Liu Fei? Have you admitted defeat? You're quite sensible. Are you feeling very resentful? If you feel that the time is too short, I can extend it to 5 hours for you. How about one day?"

  Liu Fei walked up to Williams, his face calm: "Williams, did you hear that clearly? I admit defeat, OK?"

  After finishing, Liu Fei returned to Jiang Zhengyuan's face, with a bright smile on his face, not having the slightest awareness of a loser, but scratching the back of his head and saying: "Governor Jiang, Uncle Liu, Uncle Xu, Uncle Xiao, sorry to make you laugh, I lost!"

  Looking at Liu Fei's calm expression, they all felt a little ashamed, and for a moment the four of them fell silent.

  Finally, Jiang Zhengyuan let out a sigh and gently patted Liu Fei's shoulder: "Liu Fei, well done! I didn't misjudge you!"

  Liu Jianqing, Xu Wei and Xiao Yuanshan also nodded in agreement, walked to Liu Fei's front, gently patted Liu Fei's shoulder, and nodded at him with satisfaction.

  Liu Peng, Xu Zhe and Xiao Qiang also walked over, the three of them hugged Liu Fei together, the four people tightly embracing each other. Xiao Qiang pushed his glasses and said calmly: "Boss, you are a real man!"

  Liu Pang excitedly said: "Boss, you really have guts! 300 million, if I had that, how many beautiful women could I date?! 555555, with so much money, give me some to spend!"

  His words made many people on the scene burst out laughing, and his father Liu Jianqing couldn't help but smile wryly. He had a son who knew how to flirt with girls but didn't know how to lose weight - he was beyond salvation. However, seeing how close this kid was to Liu Fei, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and a hint of pride appeared at the corner of his mouth. This kid may not have any other talents, but his ability to make friends was not bad! Just looking at Liu Fei's generosity and charisma, his ability to read the situation and think for others, his future prospects were boundless. Right now, he was very clear about his own heart - today he hadn't been able to help Liu Fei, and he felt a bit ashamed. But at the same time, he was also very grateful to Liu Fei for not calling him out at that moment. He made up his mind: from now on, as long as it was within his power, he would try his best to help Liu Fei! These thoughts he naturally wouldn't share with others, but he believed the other three people's thoughts were probably similar to his own.

  After reporting to all the leaders, and exchanging body language with his brothers, Liu Fei naturally wouldn't forget tonight's banquet heroine - Xue Lingyun. Having gone through so much, he could already feel Xue Lingyun's sincere feelings towards him, his heart had completely melted, it was Xue Lingyun's pure and sincere emotions that melted him! He decided to give Xue Lingyun a surprise!

  Liu Fei calmly walked up to Xue Lingyun's side, smiling and said: "Xue Lingyun, I lost! Are you willing for this defeated general to be your boyfriend?"

  Xue Lingyun was stunned. Then, she cried! Tears streaming down her face, a heartbreaking sight!
