Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Resort Hotel
'Zhu Jinfei is the nephew of the county health bureau chief and is now an agent for medicine and medical equipment. It seems that he has made some money. That time, he followed us to the school, and then he approached a few times afterwards. Jingping made things clear, and then ignored him. Who knows, he just stuck like a leech.' It was Zhang Qiuling who explained first.
'I think I've heard of this person before,' Yu Lian said, looking at Huang Jingping in the front row. 'I heard someone at school say that it seems that he also told girls that he could help them find work.'
This one will definitely be there. His uncle is the health bureau chief, and the health school major is a good match.
In places like theirs, where the economy is underdeveloped, there are really not many opportunities for people at the intersection of transportation to put money in their pockets. The health bureau is actually not bad. Even in places with a poor economy, the people will still get sick.
Huang Jingping kept looking at Feng Yiping after getting into the car, feeling aggrieved and about to cry. Feng Yiping had heard what she said before and took it to heart. The fight three years ago was also because of her. Why did she always get into trouble like this?
Feng Yiping took the time to pat the back of her hand, 'I know, it's fine, don't worry.'
At this time, it would have been best for him to say, 'The fact that there are so many people after you just shows how outstanding you are!' Huang Jingping would have promised to laugh.
But, let's not forget, there are still two other girls in the car. No matter when or under what circumstances, girls will definitely be able to hear the other meaning in your words. If Feng Yiping really said that now, he would definitely be helping Huang Jingping to attract hatred.
'Will he follow us and cause trouble again?' Yu Lian asked.
'He's supposed to be in business, so he shouldn't be so reckless,' Wang Changning, who was crammed in the boot with Xiao Zhijie, comforted his "friend".
Feng Yiping felt the same way. If Zhu Jinfei were the nephew or son of the public security bureau chief, he would be a bit worried, because the public security bureau chief has a gun and can check water meters across provinces.
But the health director is different. He has some authority in his own territory, but outside, what is a junior official worth?
The meaning of the words he said before leaving was also to make Zhu Jinfei weigh up the situation. Although he is not afraid of trouble, it is best not to have conflicts.
Even if Zhu Jinfei is not doing business with real skills, he is still a businessman. He will weigh up the situation and, as a reasonable person, will make an informed choice.
The car left the county and headed towards Jiangjunshan, which was about 4 or 5 kilometres outside the city.
Jiangjunshan was the best-preserved mountain in the county, apart from the other two forest farms. It could be considered a small gem in a small place like theirs. The mountains and rocks were beautiful, and the streams were graceful. Because of its unique geographical advantages, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, this has been a place for people in the county to go for picnics and escape the summer heat. It has been well developed, and is now even more being planned by the county as the Jiangjunshan Scenic Area.
The newly paved concrete road winds its way up the mountain, finally stopping in front of the Jiangjunshan Resort Hotel halfway up the mountain. Hearing the sound of the car, Tang Shaokang soon runs out of the hotel, followed by Ye Meng. 'You've finally arrived, I'm starving.'
The manager of this hotel in the county is a friend of his father.
'It's this time of year, and you still have the heart to go out and play?' Feng Yiping said to him with a smile. Tang Shaokang is currently in his third year of high school, shouldn't he be tired like a dog at school?
'Yiping, long time no see! It's just that I've been so tired lately, so I came out to relax. Why did you drop out of school last year?'
'There were some family matters,' he said immediately, changing the subject, and looking at Ye Meng, 'is this how you relax?'
The dishes in the kitchen were ready. They went into the private room and sat down. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. There were many special dishes, such as stewed pheasant, sautéed eel with spring onions, mountain mushroom soup, and grilled lamb chops, as well as some homely dishes, such as braised carp, cold black fungus salad, pan-fried tofu, and steamed pork with rice wine.
Xiao Zhijie said as soon as he saw it, 'My mouth is watering!'
Everyone laughed when they heard this. He seemed to have this talent, and no matter what the occasion, he could always easily get everyone in the mood.
That being said, everyone was getting on in years, and in front of the opposite sex, and with Yu Lian, who they were meeting for the first time, they all ate with some restraint.
Even the youngest, Yu Lian and Feng Yiping, were already over 18, so Tang Shaokang suggested having some wine, from the county winery. It wasn't high-end, but it was made from grain.
The girls also poured a small glass to join in the fun, and it was up to them whether they drank it or not.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere heated up. Except for Yu Lian, the other seven were all alumni, and except for Wang Changning and Ye Meng, the other five were even classmates. They were already familiar with each other, so there were plenty of topics to chat about.
After Feng Yiping took the lead and started eating the lamb chops, the four boys followed suit, and then the girls also let loose a bit.
Xiao Zhijie carefully tore the meat off the lamb chop, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Zhang Qiuling, which was met with unanimous scorn from the other boys, 'Cut it out!'
'Why go to all this trouble?' Zhang Qiuling blushed a little and also took a piece directly. There was no way around it, she had always been a little princess at school, and she was never shy in any situation.
In the middle, the smiling hotel manager came in and said a few words of concern. Tang Shaokang told Feng Yiping and the others about the conflict with Zhu Jinfei before they got into the car. 'Zhu Jinfei, Zhu's nephew, did something wrong in this matter. Huang Xiaoming, right? It's okay, I'll call his uncle later. He definitely won't come looking for you again. You can relax and put your hearts at ease. He dares not do anything to you, let alone chase you here.'
He said this with confidence. He is not just a manager who welcomes and sees off guests; he is directly responsible to the county government office. He usually deals with the office manager, and the hotel also keeps the room of the county party secretary and county head permanently. He meets with the secretary and county head many times.
Generally speaking, the county folk are quite simple-minded, and it is such a small place that everyone knows what is going on in everyone's family. Zhu Jinfeng of course knows that, and he has heard that he has some entanglements with some young girls, but he dares not do anything blatantly bullying men and dominating women.
'Thank you, uncle,' the whole table toasted him.
With all the hidden dangers gone, everyone focused on the food on the table. Except for the girls, the boys were all in a time when they could eat. It had been almost two hours, and the four boys had almost finished two bottles of white wine. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Tang Shaokang sighed, 'It won't be easy to get together like this again after the New Year.'
Everyone was a little saddened by his words. Tang Shaokang is going to university this year, while Feng Yiping and the other two are taking the college entrance exam next year and will also go to university afterwards. If they all stay in the province, it will be fine, but if they go elsewhere, it will be really difficult for them to get together normally, except during the New Year.
'Come, let's drink a toast, for the present,' Feng Yiping said, standing up.
'For the future,' Tang Shaokang added.
Huang Jingping also took a small sip of the wine in her glass, looked at Feng Yiping, who was flushed, and said in her heart, 'For you!'
