38: Yu Hualin flew into a rage
"By the way, Zifeng, tomorrow is the weekend. We've been working in Heping Town for a month now.
I've noticed you haven't gone home once. You should go back for the weekend, get some rest, and spend time with your family!
I also need to go to the County to take care of some business. If you're heading back, I can just hitch a ride with you."
Jiang Yufei pulled Lin Zifeng back to reality from his thoughts.
He paused for a moment, thinking to himself that, without realizing it, he had already been in Heping Town for a month and hadn't been home once!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "That's true, we should rest when it's time to rest.
My mom called a few days ago asking when I'd be home! You've reminded me. But as far as I know, isn't your home in the City Level? Are you planning to go to the County to catch a ride back to the City Level?"
"I'm not going back to the City Level. I've been working in Yushu County for over two years, can't I have friends here?"
Jiang Yufei didn't reveal her true destination because she was going to visit her cousin, Zhang Yuhan.
She didn't want to expose her relationship with Zhang Yuhan, so she made up a temporary excuse.
Afterward, the two chatted a bit more about work and agreed to return to the County together after work, and Jiang Yufei left his Office.
Feeling completely humiliated and having his authority challenged, a livid Yu Hualin returned to his Office.
Following closely behind him, Qian Ke had just closed the Office door when Yu Hualin slammed the teacup on his desk onto the floor with a loud crash.
The cup shattered into pieces, and Qian Ke was startled, watching the furious Yu Hualin with trepidation.
"I'm furious! It's like the world is turning upside down. That little bastard Lin Zifeng actually dared to embarrass me in public.
I won't let him off the hook; since he dared to arm-wrestle with me in public, I'll make him pay.
And that insidious Zhang Zhenhua, he actually dared to jump out and bare his teeth at me too. It seems I haven't suppressed him enough in the past!"
Yu Hualin vented his emotions while slamming his hand on the desk.
Qian Ke picked up a broom and silently cleaned up the glass shards on the floor.
As the recorder for the Party Committee Meeting, he had witnessed the entire process.
He hadn't expected Lin Zifeng to be so bold as to openly challenge Yu Hualin, and to have gained the support of Zhang Zhenhua and Cao Shuang as well.
This Party Committee Meeting had completely spiraled out of control; he had truly lost face.
He decided it was better to keep his mouth shut, finish cleaning, and find an opportunity to leave! He didn't want Yu Hualin to take his anger out on him.
But things didn't go as planned. Just as he finished cleaning and was about to greet Yu Hualin to leave, Yu Hualin spoke first.
"Since when did Cao Shuang start wearing the same pair of pants as that Lin Zifeng?
Didn't I tell you to keep a closer eye on Lin Zifeng? How have you been watching him?"
"Secretary, besides getting close to the newcomer Jiang Yufei, that Lin Zifeng rarely interacts with other town leaders!" Qian Ke replied hurriedly.
"Trash! It's still your lack of supervision. I don't believe they haven't had any contact.
Otherwise, how could they be so in sync? Challenging me together?" Yu Hualin shouted angrily.
Qian Ke hurriedly agreed weakly, not daring to offer any refutation.
After a long while, Yu Hualin's anger subsided a bit. He then looked at the bowing, silent Qian Ke and ordered, "Go notify Propaganda Committee Member Jiang Yufei to come to my Office for a moment; I want to talk to her about some work.
During our talk, I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qian Ke nodded hurriedly in agreement, taking the opportunity to walk out of the Office to call Jiang Yufei.
Still fuming, Yu Hualin sat behind his desk, thinking to himself that this great beauty, Jiang Yufei, had been in Heping Town for a month, yet had only come to his Office once when she first arrived to report on her work as a formality.
She hadn't spent more than ten minutes in his Office in total.
It was time to knock her down a peg and let her know who the real boss of Heping Town was.
So what if that kid Lin Zifeng had a good appearance? Soon, he would make him pay, and he would make Jiang Yufei see the reality of the situation.
He needed to make Jiang Yufei realize that if she wanted to advance in Heping Town, she couldn't do it without him, Yu Hualin.
If he could intimidate her, he could take the opportunity to properly savor this great beauty.
Thinking of Jiang Yufei's graceful figure and beautiful face, Yu Hualin felt a surge of heat and became even more eager.
Just after returning to her Office, Jiang Yufei received a call from Qian Ke.
After hanging up, Jiang Yufei frowned. She despised Yu Hualin and did not want to face him alone.
When she first arrived, she followed protocol and went to report her work to Yu Hualin, but she had been extremely disgusted by his gaze.
She felt that at the time, Yu Hualin's gaze seemed to be glued to her, making her very uncomfortable.
Therefore, during this period, she hadn't had any private contact with Yu Hualin.
But since the Secretary had called her to discuss work, she had no choice but to go.
Troubled, Jiang Yufei reluctantly left her Office and headed toward Yu Hualin's Office.
Arriving at the floor where Yu Hualin's Office was located, she paused for a moment, subconsciously took out her phone, turned on the recording function, and then continued toward Yu Hualin's Office.
A woman's keen sixth sense filled her with wariness toward Yu Hualin, which was why she had made this temporary decision.
Hearing the sound of high heels in the hallway, Qian Ke knew it was Jiang Yufei. He hurriedly stepped out of his Office and said with a smile to Jiang Yufei, "Hello, Committee Member Jiang, Secretary Yu has been waiting for you for a while. I'll take you in."
Jiang Yufei nodded without speaking.
As he knocked on the door, Qian Ke thought to himself that this Jiang Yufei was truly beautiful. Not to mention that old lecher Yu Hualin, who had been eyeing her, what man wouldn't be heart-struck upon seeing such a great beauty?
It would be a real pity if she were ruined by that old lecher Yu Hualin.
He wondered if this Jiang Yufei could withstand Yu Hualin's lecherous tyranny.
A voice from inside the room said, "Come in," which interrupted Qian Ke's train of thought. He hurriedly pushed the door open, gestured for Jiang Yufei to enter, and then walked into the Office.
"Secretary, Committee Member Jiang is here."
After saying this, he proceeded to pour water for Jiang Yufei on his own.
Yu Hualin looked up and said in a low voice, "Please sit, Committee Member Jiang. Let me finish this document, and then we'll discuss work."
After saying this, he lowered his head and continued reading the document.
Jiang Yufei sat on the sofa as requested. After Qian Ke finished pouring the water, he exited the Office.
The Office was left with only the two of them, becoming unusually quiet.
