Chapter 106: Conflict

  However, Jiang Zhengyuan did not pull away! Instead, with a loving and compassionate gaze, he gently stroked Liu Fei's forehead with his other hand and said: "Liu Fei, go to sleep! Everything will be fine when you wake up! I didn't expect you to have such a heart-wrenching past! You're really a pitiful child! Don't worry, from now on, I'll treat you like my own child! You're an excellent kid!"

  That night, Jiang Zhengyuan slept beside Liu Fei, and Liu Fei fell asleep with his head on Jiang Zhengyuan's hand. At night, he covered Liu Fei several times, but each time it was kicked open by Liu Fei after a while, however, he always covered Liu Fei in time. Unconsciously, Jiang Zhengyuan had already treated Liu Fei as his own child.

  Liu Fei woke up at 7 o'clock sharp early in the morning. This was a habit he had cultivated over many years.

  However, when he opened his eyes today, he felt a bit off. He took a closer look and found that his hands were holding someone else's hands at this time. His head was resting on the side of his face, with a pair of eyes also open, smiling kindly at him.

  In an instant, Liu Fei felt his head explode, and the events of last night replayed in his mind like a fast-forwarding movie. The movie paused at the moment he entered the house, when he felt a pair of hands gently patting his shoulders. Those hands were so loving that they made him feel like his own father. No, he should say that those hands were exactly like his father's. So, he poured out his heart to his father and even insisted on sleeping with his head on his father's hand, which was a deep longing for paternal love in his subconscious mind.

  Gently pulling out his arm, Jiang Zhengyuan sat up and gently shook himself, having been numbed by Liu Fei's pillow. He smiled lightly: "Liu Fei, get up quickly and call for breakfast!"

  At that moment, Liu Fei finally understood everything and couldn't help but blush. He quickly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

  At this moment, Liu Fei's tears could no longer be held back. He had just felt that Jiang Zhengyuan's gaze at him was so kind, like a father. Thinking of Jiang Zhengyuan, such a dignified provincial committee member and vice governor, taking care of himself in this way, Liu Fei was deeply moved!

  He turned on the faucet and let the icy water rush over his head, mingling with his tears as it flowed down, soon blurring his vision.

  After breakfast, Liu Fei followed Jiang Zhengyuan onto the car and headed straight to the Hilton Hotel. The chairman of Xinyuan Group and his entourage were staying there. It was a five-star hotel that integrated accommodation, dining, and entertainment.

  Xinyuan Group took over the entire 33rd floor as a temporary office and rest area. As soon as you step out of the elevator, after just a few steps, there is an atrium courtyard above, covered with transparent tempered glass. Through the glass, you can see the blue sky with a few white clouds floating by.

  There were over a dozen tables inside the ceiling, with high-end sofas and rattan chairs arranged in a circle.

  Liu Fei and Jiang Zhengyuan arrived around 9 o'clock. At this time, there were already many people sitting at the tables on the rooftop. One by one, the beautiful waitresses in blue uniforms walked through the crowd with a smile on their faces, providing thoughtful service to everyone present.

  None of those present were known to Liu Fei, so he simply followed behind Jiang Zhengyuan.

  Jiang Zhengyuan was busy from the moment he entered the sky well, constantly greeting the people present.

  No one present is a simple character, almost gathering more than 20 deputy provincial-level figures from all over the country. As characters of the same level, they mostly don't see each other when attending meetings, so it's also a scene where Jiang Zhengyuan has to be polite.

  Jiang Zhengyuan and Liu Fei walked a few steps forward and found an empty table in the northwest corner, so they sat down.

  Through the recent small talk, Jiang Zhengyuan obtained a piece of information that the chairman of Xinyuan Group was currently in his office talking to Premier Sun, and although most people were high-ranking officials at the deputy ministerial level, they could only wait. After all, everyone knew that Xinyuan Group's decision to return to China for investment was largely thanks to Premier Sun, and it was no secret within the circle that Premier Sun and Mr. Xue were classmates.

  Jiang Zhengyuan didn't know when Xue Zong and Sun Zongli's conversation would end, so he asked about the story between Liu Fei and Xue Zong.

  "Liu Fei, how did you get to know Director Xue?"

  Liu Fei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and briefly recounted the story of how he and a few brothers had met Song Laosix and Xue Lingyun while drinking together.

  Jiang Zhengyuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing that: "You little rascal, no matter where you go, you always manage to stir up trouble. This habit of yours needs to be changed, otherwise you'll suffer the consequences later on. In official circles, there's an unwritten rule that emphasizes harmony is precious. For the sake of work, even if it's tense and confrontational in a meeting room, once the meeting is over, everyone will still chat and laugh together. You have to say the right things at the right time, but you always resort to using your fists to solve problems, which is a big taboo in official circles."

  Liu Fei knew that Governor Jiang was hinting at him, so he smiled gratefully: "Governor, I understand what you mean, but sometimes I just can't control myself."

  "Can't control it but have to, there are many ways to solve a problem, why must you use the most unstable method? From now on, think more when encountering things!......"

  Jiang Zhengyuan's words had not finished, when a magnetic voice sounded beside him: "Isn't this Governor Jiang? Long time no see! You're getting more and more handsome with age! What's going on, training your secretary?"

  Liu Fei raised his head and saw a man in his fifties standing beside him, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties, who was holding two briefcases.

  Jiang Zhengyuan heard the familiar voice, his eyebrows furrowed. However, he still stood up and shook hands with the man in front of him, forcing a smile as he said: "Governor Chu, it's been a long time. Nice to see you."

  The governor of Chu province had a smile all over his face, but Liu Fei had a feeling that the governor's smile gave him a very false feeling, as if he was not genuinely smiling.

  "Governor Jiang must have also come to discuss investment with Director Xue today, right?" Governor Chu's words gave off an air of superiority.

  Jiang Zhengyuan simply nodded slightly, he was already used to Chu Sheng's behavior.

  "Chu Jiangtao suddenly changed the subject: 'Governor Jiang, I think you're going to lose to me again this time. Hebei Province can't compare with us in terms of hardware conditions, software conditions, economic development environment, or even hardware supporting facilities. Why don't you just admit defeat? By the way, Huimin has also come to Yanjing with me this time. Do you want to meet her? Although she's already forgotten about you, I've heard that you still have feelings for her.'"
