Chen Sisi dropped Fei Hu off at the glove factory and turned to leave. This woman was quite amusing; when saying goodbye to Fei Hu, she even blew him a kiss. Although it was a joke, it left Fei Hu feeling flustered and excited.
A-Lian's office was still lit. As Fei Hu stepped inside, he caught A-Lian turning her face away in anger while Bald Zhang was speaking. Seeing this, Bald Zhang quickly laughed and said, "It's good that you're back. You worried everyone sick! Your phone was off all day. No matter what, you should at least let us know, especially A-Lian and Xiao Qi; they called me many times."
"I'm really sorry. I ran into an old friend last night, and we ended up drinking together. I didn't realize I drank too much and stayed at his place. He turned off my phone so it wouldn't disturb his sleep. By the time I woke up, it was already evening. I'm really sorry, everyone; I won't do this again," Fei Hu said with a smile at A-Lian, but she didn't even glance at him.
Bald Zhang stood up and offered his seat to Fei Hu while whispering in his ear, "She's really angry. She said you can't stay here anymore; go wherever you want. She can't handle someone like you scaring her."
"Is that so, A-Lian? If you really don't want me here, then I'll stay with Bald Zhang tonight. After all, he's single too; we can drink and chase girls together," Fei Hu said with a hearty laugh.
A-Lian finally couldn't hold back anymore. She shot Fei Hu a reproachful look and said, "You lose control whenever there's alcohol. Can't you drink less? The alcohol belongs to others, but your life is your own. Don't you understand this? If you regret it later, it will be too late." With that, she stood up and turned to leave.
Once only Fei Hu and Bald Zhang were left in the room, Bald Zhang gave a thumbs-up and chuckled, "Boss, you're really something! That woman is not only beautiful but seems very wealthy too; she must not be married!"
Fei Hu was confused by Bald Zhang's words. He shook his head and asked, "Can you be more specific? How can I know what you're talking about if you speak in fragments?" As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart; could he be talking about Li Qin?
"Hey! Stop pretending! I saw everything last night. She drove a nice car and looked like she was in her twenties. In my opinion, she's even prettier and wealthier than Ye Xiaofei. Ye Xiaofei just drives a Z4; she can't compare to the woman from last night," Bald Zhang said excitedly, even more thrilled than Fei Hu himself.
Fei Hu heard this and pretended to glare at him, saying, "I told you to leave; you were hiding in the shadows watching! That's really untrustworthy! Did you tell A-Lian about this? Just look at how angry she is tonight."
"Come on! What do you take me for? There are things that can be said and things that shouldn't be spread around. I know how to keep my mouth shut about these matters. But you can't hide things from me; at least let me share in your happiness!" Bald Zhang replied with a grin at Fei Hu, looking quite comical as he probably thought that Fei Hu had spent the night with that woman.
Just then, Xiao Qi and A-Lian walked in carrying several plates. Xiao Qi said as she walked, "Brother Tiger! You can't do this! You’re out there having fun every day while we worry about you and even have to wait for dinner because of you! Do you think that's fair?" This little girl spoke her mind without holding back.
Fei Hu quickly stood up and said, "I'm really sorry for dragging everyone down. Come eat; I've already had my meal."
"I knew you had eaten, but we've waited so long, and you won't even keep us company. You have no conscience at all." When Xiao Qi heard Fei Hu say he had already eaten, she became even more irritated. They could have eaten earlier, but after waiting for so long, it was finally this time.
Bald Zhang quickly pushed Fei Hu down onto a chair and laughed, "What you ate definitely isn't as good as what Xiao Qi cooks herself. If you don't believe me, just try it. I'm almost drooling here."
To ease the atmosphere, Fei Hu hurriedly took the chopsticks that A-Lian handed him and echoed Bald Zhang's words, "That's right! If it were Xiao Qi cooking, I would eat until my stomach burst." Little girls love to hear compliments, and with Fei Hu's words, a smile slowly appeared on Xiao Qi's face. The group gathered around the table and enjoyed their meal immensely. Although Fei Hu claimed he had already eaten, he still ate quite a bit here—partly to give face to Xiao Qi and partly because the food was indeed to his liking.
After finishing the meal, Bald Zhang took out the draft agreement he had prepared. Fei Hu glanced at it casually and said, "Let's go with this! But you need to be careful. No matter how capable Zhang Jia is, her reputation is already out there. So there should be quite a few people looking for her. If it's just some punks, you can handle it easily. But if they have some background, don't try to be a hero; pass the ball to Zhang Jia and let her deal with it. After all, it's not a lot of money."
Bald Zhang nodded and said, "I understand. But during this time, you can't turn off your phone. I might need you at any moment; if you're not around, I won't feel secure." Fei Hu nodded; this was necessary since he had tacitly agreed in front of Zhang Jia last night.
Fei Hu looked at the time and said, "It's getting late; if you're going back, hurry up. Otherwise, you won't catch a taxi outside."
Bald Zhang nodded and took a step but turned back to say, "I just heard A-Lian mention that you might be going to Xiangman Port soon. If that's the case, I'll send you Zhang Jia's phone number in Hong Kong tomorrow. It might come in handy. If you need anything, just call her; she's not bad—I think she'll help you."
Fei Hu smiled and waved his hand at Bald Zhang, saying, "Go on! Just be cautious when things arise."
Once Bald Zhang left, Fei Hu was about to go back to sleep when A-Lian knocked on the table and said, "Today Yingzi called me and said she wants you to stay put tomorrow morning at nine o'clock; she's driving over to pick you up. It seems like she has something important to discuss with you." Upon hearing this, Fei Hu nodded quickly. Whenever Yingzi looked for him, it was always something troublesome; he wondered what it could be this time.
He fell asleep immediately as if he hadn't slept during the day at all. Early the next morning, Fei Hu got up and first stretched his muscles in the yard by practicing some punches. Seeing that everyone was awake, he ran to the cafeteria to help the lady who cooked with chopping vegetables and washing dishes. However, she didn't seem to need help anymore; it was Xiao Qi who pulled Fei Hu out of the cafeteria.
At nine o'clock sharp, Yingzi arrived on time. As soon as Fei Hu got into the car, Yingzi drove off expressionlessly toward the city center. Fei Hu felt something was off and quietly asked, "What's wrong? Did someone upset you? You look like a sour face—longer than a donkey's face."
Yingzi shot him a glance and said angrily, "I heard you've become a kept man for Great Star in Hong Kong. Is that true?"
Wow! That news spread fast! Fei Hu immediately thought of Ye Xiaofei; it was very likely she went back and caused a scene that Yingzi overheard. Fei Hu paused for a moment before saying, "I really wish I could! But they don't want me! Who did you hear that from?"
Yingzi glared at him again and angrily replied, "Look at your character! You don't even have any moral standards left; how dare you announce such things in public? Don't you think you're embarrassing enough?"
Fei Hu noticed that Yingzi was making the situation worse and becoming increasingly absurd, so he smiled and recounted everything that happened last night from start to finish, of course omitting any mention of his drinking with Li Qin.
After listening, Yingzi still seemed a bit skeptical and asked, "You met Zhang Jia for the first time, and she trusted you this much? She even took you out dancing? That's quite unbelievable."
"Well! Everyone had a bit to drink last night and got a little excited. You should remember Zhang Jia; when I first arrived in Sheng Wei, you invited me and Ye Xiaofei to go out for drinks. We ended up in a fight, and I was taken to her place by her bodyguards after meeting her once. She wanted to hire me as her bodyguard, but I turned her down. Last night was the second time we met," Fei Hu tried to explain the situation in detail. He couldn't let Yingzi misunderstand him; otherwise, this could turn into a real issue.
Yingzi thought for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on her face. However, she quickly followed up with another question: "So where did you go the night before? Why were your phone calls going straight to voicemail until almost afternoon yesterday? What's going on?"
"Didn't Ye Xiaofei tell you I was with Bald Zhang? We were drinking together, and I ended up sleeping at his place after having too much to drink. I didn't expect my phone would die too; it just happened that way. If you don't believe me, I really can't explain it any better," Fei Hu felt anxious as he told this lie, fearing that Yingzi would see through him.
As Yingzi drove into the parking lot of the Hilton Hotel, she asked in confusion, "What did you just say? Sister Xiaofei went to New Joy World last night too? And you two met?"
"Yeah! She wouldn't have left that out!" Seeing that Yingzi seemed unaware of anything else, Fei Hu shared the details of his encounter with Ye Xiaofei.
Upon hearing this, Yingzi burst into laughter: "You really have the worst luck! To have such a thing happen and still run into Ye Xiaofei is impressive. But it's not what she said; it was Ye Wu who mentioned it. So when I heard about it, I was really furious. Even if you're Fei Hu and want to be someone else's pretty boy, you should at least keep it discreet. Isn't that just slapping us friends in the face?" Yingzi said while giving Fei Hu a disapproving look.
"You mean Ye Wu said this?" Fei Hu asked, looking puzzled.
Yingzi nodded and replied, "Yes. We'll talk more about it after we go upstairs."
Fei Hu's mind buzzed at this revelation; it seemed like New Joy World was about to stir up some trouble again.
