After returning to the room, Secretary Xu Mi and Bai Yuan were competingvying to apologize to Shi Lei, expressing that they didn’t not do their job properly, which caused hiShi Lei’s father to be injured.
Although Shi Lei was furious about this, but he knew that he couldn’t not blame Secretary Xu Mi and Bai Yuan. It was none of their business and as high ranking officials, and it was impossible for them to take note of every single thing their subordinates diddo.
“Secretary Xu Mi, Vvice M-mayor Bai, this has got nothing to do with the two of you. Qin Huaiyuan may be a factory owner, but he is not an official working under either of you. It is even the same, even with Secretary Yang. They will have to bear the consequences for their own mistakes, so you two can stop apologizing to me. I am just some young college studentsomeone in his twenties and you’re are overwhelming me.”
“Shi Lei, although this is the first time we’ve met, but since you took the initiativeadvantage just now to call me ‘Uncle Xu,’ I’ll treat you like my nephew. I wouldn’t say the same for anything else, but if you need any help inon the land of Runz Zhou, just give me a call. I’ll give you my number,.” Secretary Xu Mi said as he took out his phone.
Bai Yuan glared at him., “Hey, Secretary Xu! Da Mi, Hhow does our Song fFamily’s business havehas anything to do with you? Shi Lei should look for me if he needs help!; Wwhat good would it do for him to look for you? Shi Lei, ignore him. I’m your Uncle Bai from now on, so if there is anything you need, feel free to look for me. Here’sSave my number……” He seized the phone from Shi Lei’s hand and inputsaved his number.
Shi Lei smiled wryly and shot a glareglared at Song Miaomiao. LHe thought, look at what you’ve have done, he thought.. Song Miaomiao looked up atto the sky and said nothing.
When they were almost done chatting, Bai Yuan, Secretary Xu, Mi and w.a.n.g Hua’an left one by one when they were almost done chatting. In the end, only Shi Lei, Song Miaomiao, and Wei Qing were left in the room.
Shi Lei finally relaxed. No matter what, he was stillfundamentally a loser in the end. Even if he had friends like Song Miaomiao who could do anything for him, he was not good at dealing with high- ranking officials like the vice -mayor, Secretary Xu,Mi or the deputy chief of the Bureau of Public SecurityChief Deputy for Public Security Bureau. Fortunately, he didn’t make a fool of himself.
Wei Qing was different. The entire time, as he was relaxed all these time. He smiled and said, “That Secretary Yang is at his end. He would undoubtedly fall and become a lesser secretary, unable to transfer elsewhere. and his next step in life will be a less-than-ordinary secretary in the secretariat. He won’t be able to transfer anywhere else and I doubt anyone will use him, even if the term of office has changesd. Most likely, he will be sticking to this position untiltill his retirement.”
Shi Lei didn’tdoes not have any good impression of Secretary Yang, so he said, “He only hashave himself to blame. Vice M-mayor Bai seems like a nice person. It must be that Secretary Yang normally hides his true self well normally, and might have secretly done a lot misdeeds in the vice mayor’s name of vice-mayor.”
Song Miaomiao laughed. and said, “You really think Bai Yuan doesn’t know any thing? But Bai Yuan is a lackey of the Song fFamily., Wwhether he’s at his end or can move a step up, dependsit solelyonly depends on a word from my fatherGrandpa and grandfathermy Dad.”
Shi Lei glanced at Wei Qing only to see the other with a thoughtful look on his faceand he seemed to be expecting the answer. He then realizsed that these people acted that way only because Song Miaomiao and Wei Qing were there. Oonly met Song Miaomiao and Wei Qing; otherwise, they would have been just like Secretary Yangwere just as bad as each other.
Shi Lei suddenly seemed to remember something. “Oh right., Wwhat about the guys at the pPolice sStation?” Shi Lei seemed to remember something suddenly.
Wei Qing chortled., “I knewknow you wereare too narrow-minded to let those people go. Don’t worry,; w.a.n.g Hua’an knows what to do. If it was only me, they would most likely only be punished for showmost likely they will be punished for show only. But since Shui Ye stepped in and Secretary Xu andMi, Bai Yuan had called you their nephew, w.a.n.g Hua’an will punish them severely if he ever wants the chance to be promoted. Chief Feng is at his end and those two police are waiting to have their skin peeled.”
“GoodYes!” Shi Lei felt extremely satisfied.
Wei Qing bursted out laughing. and said, “Don’t be so pleased already., Tthe best has yet to come!”
“Huh? What else is there?” Shi Lei didn’tdoes not understand, sinceas he thought that everything had already beenwas settled.
“I really don’t understand you sometimes. You’re confident about things that even I don’t know the outcome to, are actually very confident for things that I don’t even know how it will turn out, but for something that everyone knows, you…… you are as innocent as a lamb.”
Song Miaomiao interrupted suddenly and said, “Xiao Qingz Zi is trying to say that you’re an idiot,.” Song Miaomiao suddenly interrupted.
Shi Lei felt a bit awkward, but he wasn’t not angry. He smiled and scratched his head., “I am just an ordinary undergraduate and was lucky enough to know you guys. I really don’t understand what you are you saying and I couldn’tcan’t comprehend anything in the previous discussion eitherwhen we were at the restaurant too.”
Wei Qing and Song Miaomiao roared with laughter. and Wei Qing pointed at Shi Lei, “You are not just lucky, you are way too lucky,” Wei Qing said, pointing a finger at Shi Lei.. “You have good friends in Wud Dong’s Wei fFamily and, Yu fFamily, and Xix Xi’s Song Family. You know, for this small matter of yours, Wei Xingyue told me to come and help you. When Yu Banzhi heard about this, he gave me a call and also asked me to keep an eye on this as well. Then Shui Ye made her gloriousglamorous appearance and smashed all oppositionopposing forces with one strike!…...”
Shi Lei gasped. He could imagine Wei Xingyue helping, but Yu Banzhi also doing so....… It was really unexpected.
“Okay, enough teasing. That Yang Ruicai must have consulted his master just now. I bet that when we head out, Do you believe that he will beis waiting for us outside when we head out.?”
“Huhh? What’s he waiting forWait for what? Is he stillStill not giving up?”
“He is waiting to appease you. They will not do anything for Qin Huaiyuan and might even add fuel to fire. They will pay you a good amount of compensation in thewith hopes that you will forget their disrespect toward you earlier and not pursue the matterlook into their disrespect for you earlier on.”
Shi Lei was stunned for quite a while before he said, “It’s not that bad, right? Even if it was like what you said, he could have just knocked on the door and caome in.?”
“He needs to be brave enough to knock! He didn’t know who Shui Ye was, earlier on but he probably doeswould have known by now. He wouldwill be scared to death!”
Shi Lei touched his head while in a daze. He looked to Song Miaomiao and asked, “Anyway, lunatic, what is with your family? I thought ityour family wasis just as wealthy as Wei Xingyue’s family!”
Song Miaomiao rolled her eyes. and said, “You only thought of asking me now? I thought you didn’t care!”
Shi Lei chuckled. and said, “Of course I don’t care. Even if your family has someone who’s in charge of the entire planetan Earth Captain or whatever, it has got nothing to do with me. But looking at how impressive you are and the fact that you saidsaying that the vice -mayor is your fSong Family’s lackey, I got curious.”
Wei Qing looked at Song Miaomiao when she didn’t respond.Song Miaomiao did not respond and Wei Qing looked at her, “Should I tell him?”
Song Miaomiao looked upraised her eyes and didn’t not oppose to his suggestion. Wei Qing then said, “Shui Ye’s grandfather was partone of the sStanding cCommittee in his early years and has, of course, retired. Shui Ye’s father iswas Qujiang Province’s……” Wei Qing put up his thumb and intentionally pushed it upward,s which Shi Lei immediately understood immediately.
“In the early days, there was no rule banning the family of an official from running a business, so Shui Ye’s mother, along with her uncle and aunt, were all businessmen. You can’t look them up on Forbes, but I think that they wouldn’twon’t lose to Wei fFamily, or at least the two are almost equivalent in standing.”
Song Miaomiao waved herhis hands and said, “Don’t boast about my family for me. It wouldwill be pretty good if our pathetic a.s.sets are half as much as the Wei fFamily’s. Who actually knows how much they earn?!”
Wei Qing smiled and continued., “Anyway, Wud Dong’s Wei fFamily and Xix Xi’s Song Family are two long-standing magnates in the Yangtze River DeltaChang San Jiao. And thanks to you, Shi Lei, our family and the Wei fFamily are collaborating together on a project. Although it is not some big project, but the key what’s important is that thisthis is a sign.al Aand I was appointed to be in charge. I have you to thank you for this!”
Shi Lei was dumbfounded, but quickly understood that he might really be the reason for the collaboration between the Wei fFamily and Wei Qing’s family. The resultrepercussions of using the Mmillionaire Ccard would be how Old Master Wei was still pondering just what background Shi Leiability he hads to get the Eye of the Dark Night to borrow that house for him.
“And it was also thanks to you that we could sit down to have a meal and drink teatea session with Shui Ye like this. So Shi Ye, I think you are the greatest person amongst us!”
Song Miaomiao looked upraised her eyes and did not disagree.
