Hearing his condescending tone, Xia Fei frowned.
However, he ultimately didn't say much, considering it as giving face to Tang Yuan and Pan Xinran.
Soon after, having returned from the restroom, Xia Fei sat back in his seat.
At this moment, a person walked in from the direction of the entrance.
Seeing that it was Yang Yong, Tang Yuan immediately stood up and waved at him from afar.
Yang Yong saw them and hurried over.
"Secretary Yang?"
At this time, at the neighboring main table, County Director He Jiannian and Secretary Chen Zhien, who had also just returned from the restroom, happened to see Yang Yong.
Chen Zhien didn't recognize Yang Yong, but He Jiannian had been to Xin'an Town a few times before, so he and Yang Yong were considered old acquaintances.
"You are..."
"Director He?"
Yang Yong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and greeted him.
"Secretary Yang, let me introduce you. This is our county's..."
But just as He Jiannian was about to introduce Yang Yong and Chen Zhien to each other, he saw Yang Yong walk right past them, heading straight for Qin Ning and his group.
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Xia, I apologize for being late. There were just too many things to handle in town, and I rushed over as soon as I finished," he said with a smile to Qin Ning and the others.
Seeing this scene, both He Jiannian and Chen Zhien showed looks of surprise on their faces.
Especially Chen Zhien.
Although he had never met Yang Yong, he had just learned of his identity from He Jiannian.
This was the Party Secretary of the neighboring Xin'an Town. Why would he be so polite, and even respectful, to a few youngsters at this table?
Who was that young man who had bumped into him earlier?
And what was the background of that Young Master Qin next to him?
Chen Zhien and He Jiannian could naturally tell that the leader of this table was clearly Qin Ning, who was sitting next to Xia Fei.
"Secretary Yang, who are these people..."
Unable to hold back their curiosity, Chen Zhien and He Jiannian walked over and asked.
"We're just nobodies. How could we possibly catch the eye of Secretary Chen," Xia Fei chuckled.
Hearing these words, Chen Zhien immediately frowned.
Although he didn't know what background these people had, or why they could command such respect from Yang Yong.
But as the top leader of Huayun County, in terms of rank, he was two levels higher than Yang Yong.
"Young Master Xia, did something happen?"
Yang Yong wasn't stupid. How could he not hear the hidden meaning in Xia Fei's words? Most likely, something unpleasant had happened here before he arrived.
Could it be that He Jiannian and Chen Zhien had accidentally offended them?
At this thought, Yang Yong's heart suddenly jumped.
Who at this table wasn't an absolute VIP?
He was already bending over backward to serve them, not daring to offend or neglect them in the slightest.
And you guys actually went right ahead and provoked them?
"It's nothing much, just earlier..."
Xia Fei waved his hand and briefly explained what had happened.
He Jiannian was immediately displeased upon hearing this, "What do you mean Secretary Chen bumped into you? Didn't you bump into him?"
"I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you. There should be surveillance cameras here, right? Do you want to go check?" Xia Fei gave them a light glance.
"Forget it, it's a minor issue. Let's all say less."
Right at this moment, Qin Ning spoke up.
On an occasion like today, he didn't want anyone ruining the atmosphere.
If they really made a scene, the ones who would lose face the most would only be his sister-in-law's Pan family.
"Okay, Young Master Qin." Xia Fei naturally understood Qin Ning's intention. He obediently shut his mouth and sat back in his seat.
Otherwise, given his personality, he would have properly argued with the other party right when they bumped into each other earlier. How could he have waited until now?
Because Chen Zhien was somewhat unsure of their exact background, he didn't want to blow things out of proportion either. He pulled He Jiannian back to their seats and said to Yang Yong, "Lao Yang, this is our first time meeting, right? Your Xin'an Town is right next to our Huayun County. Since you're here this time, you must have a few drinks with me. Come, come, sit on my side..."
"No thanks, I'll just sit here."
Yang Yong directly waved his hand in refusal.
Right now, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to sit at the same table as Chen Zhien and the others.
"Did Secretary Yu not come?" At this moment, Qin Fei asked curiously.
"He came, he's using the restroom downstairs. I reckon he should be coming up right about now," Yang Yong quickly replied.
Secretary Yu?
Both Chen Zhien and He Jiannian were taken aback.
Who was this now?
And just as they were feeling curious, they saw a middle-aged man walk in from the direction of the entrance. His gaze swept across the entire venue, as if looking for something.
This middle-aged man was none other than Yu Yongchang, the top leader of Shuishan City.
After scanning the room for a moment, he finally found where Yang Yong was and quickly walked over.
"Secretary Yu!"
Upon recognizing Yu Yongchang's appearance, both Chen Zhien and He Jiannian were instantly shocked.
How could they have imagined that the Secretary Yu mentioned just now would actually be this person!
How could this be possible?
As the top leader of Shuishan City, Yu Yongchang had actually come too!
When did the Pan family ever get to know an existence like this?
Could it be because of these few young people at Yang Yong's table?
At this thought, Chen Zhien's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
They actually knew Yu Yongchang!
No wonder that young man named Xia Fei was so arrogant earlier. Even knowing his identity, he still dared to speak so wildly.
While feeling surprised in their hearts, He Jiannian and Chen Zhien quickly went up to greet him, smiling and reaching out their hands, "Secretary Yu..."
However, Yu Yongchang completely ignored them. He walked right past them and went straight to Qin Ning, greeting him, "My apologies, Young Master Qin, I'm a bit late. I'll penalize myself with two drinks later."
"It's fine, we haven't been eating for long either. Have a seat," Qin Ning smiled and pointed to an empty seat.
"Alright."
Yu Yongchang replied and then sat down.
Only then did he realize that there seemed to be two people greeting him just now?
Looking back curiously, he saw He Jiannian and Chen Zhien already walking over. Yu Yongchang asked, "You are..."
"Hello, Secretary Yu, I am Xiao Chen, Chen Zhien from Huayun County."
At this moment, Chen Zhien's face was already starting to sweat.
Secretary Yu was sitting at this table, yet he himself was sitting at the main table.
Most importantly, he had just seen with his own eyes that Yu Yongchang was also extremely respectful to that Young Master Qin at this table.
How could this be possible?
Just what kind of background did this Young Master Qin and the young people around him have?
"Secretary Yu..."
Yang Yong whispered something into Yu Yongchang's ear.
After hearing it, Yu Yongchang immediately frowned and looked toward He Jiannian and Chen Zhien.
When they felt the gaze Yu Yongchang cast upon them, Chen Zhien and He Jiannian suddenly felt their legs go weak.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
