"Oh, then I'll make the call myself," Chen Fei responded lightly, then took out his phone to dial Dong Wencheng's number.
"No, Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant! Please, don't misunderstand..." Upon seeing this, Secretary Shen gave a start, instantly realizing the colossal mistake he had just made. He broke out in a cold sweat, a panicked expression on his face as he tried to explain.
Shen Kai, what the fuck is wrong with you? Did you get your head slammed in a door? When Mr. Chen asks you to make a call, you just make the damn call. Why did you have to hesitate for no reason? Now you've done it... even an idiot can hear the displeasure in Chen Fei's voice.
As for Zhang Quan, who had been acting so high and mighty just moments before, he was completely dumbfounded. This kid actually had the clout to call Secretary Dong directly.
Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead like rain, and his face turned pale.
Seeing Chen Fei actually take out his phone to call Dong Wencheng, Zhang Quan panicked and said hurriedly, "No, no, brother, this is all a misunderstanding! Let's just talk this out, okay? It's such a trivial matter, there's no need to disturb Secretary Dong, right?"
"A misunderstanding?" Chen Fei paused, his phone in hand, and looked at the profusely sweating Young Master Zhang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Somehow, your arrogant attitude from a moment ago didn't seem like a 'misunderstanding' at all."
Young Master Zhang's face stiffened, and he could only manage a fawning smile. "No, no, it's all my fault. I was blind and failed to recognize a great man in my presence. Brother, you're a magnanimous person, and this isn't a big deal. How about we just forget about it?"
"Forget about it? Fine. As long as you apologize to my friends, one by one, we can consider this matter settled," Chen Fei said nonchalantly.
"Apologize?" Young Master Zhang's expression changed. He never expected that even after humbling himself this much, Chen Fei would still push his luck and demand an apology.
At this, Murong Shan, Fatty, and Little Fatty were all taken aback. Murong Shan couldn't help but tug on Chen Fei's sleeve and whisper, "Chen Fei, maybe we should just let it go?"
"Sister Shan, don't worry. I told you I'd stand up for you, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I've given him a chance to make amends. Whether he takes it or not is his problem," Chen Fei said, casting a cold glance at the conflicted Young Master Zhang.
The latter's face grew tense. After a long moment of hesitation, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm… I'm sorry. To you, miss, and to you two. What happened today was my fault. I apologize to you all."
"It's... it's alright." Seeing Young Master Zhang actually bow his head and apologize caused a stir among Murong Shan, Fatty, Little Fatty, and even the staff at the Traffic Police Brigade. Flustered, Murong Shan quickly waved her hands.
Chen Fei smiled gently before turning to Secretary Shen, Murong Shan, and the others. "Alright, let's go."
...
After leaving the XC District Traffic Police Brigade, Little Fatty could no longer suppress his excitement. He looked at Chen Fei with admiration and said, "Brother Fei, you're incredible! Even Secretary Dong gives you so much face. Did you see the look on Zhang Quan's face? He was so cocky before, but then he just deflated. It feels so satisfying just thinking about it, hahaha!"
Initially, their opponent had been aggressive and used his status to bully them. Both he and Murong Shan had been bottling up a great deal of anger. But after Chen Fei arrived, he had thoroughly put that obnoxious guy in his place. Was there anything more satisfying? Brother Fei is mighty! Hahaha!
"Don't praise me. I know I was awesome just now, but I'll get a big head if you keep complimenting me," Chen Fei replied with a smug expression, leaving Murong Shan and Little Fatty speechless.
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Sister Shan, Little Fatty, what brought you two to Tongzhou City?"
"It's about building the new factory."
When Chen Fei brought up business, a light blush appeared on Murong Shan's pretty face. She said softly, "Ever since you helped us secure the apparel contract with the Saint Laurent Group, we've received numerous investments. We have ample funding now, so we're preparing to expand and open a new factory. Besides that, our company also relocated to Tongzhou City recently."
"I see," Chen Fei nodded.
No wonder they hadn't contacted him much. They must have been swamped with moving the company and opening a new factory. That's a huge workload.
"Brother Fei, you're so influential here in Tongzhou, you even know Secretary Dong! You have to look out for us from now on! I mean, our class monitor is right here!" Little Fatty suddenly chirped with a grin, making both Murong Shan and Chen Fei blush.
Hey! What's that supposed to mean, "I'm (she's) right here"?!
