Chapter 146: All Misunderstandings

  Regarding Feng Sicheng, he had heard his elder cousin Qi Hengsan mention him before. Logically speaking, this was someone who outranked even his own elder cousin in the county committee, but since he was new to Dahulu County and didn't have any influence yet. However, for someone like him, just having a higher official rank would be enough to crush him. Qi Hengsan couldn't ignore a vice-county head like his elder cousin could; if he dared do so, all it would take is one word from the other side, and he'd be done in by being ignorant of official etiquette and overstepping his bounds.

  "I see, so it's actually County Magistrate Feng who has arrived. Quick, quick, please take a seat! Look at this, look at this - our leader comes without even giving us prior notice, and I didn't even get to go welcome him at the village entrance. Ha ha, what's going on here?"

  Zhi Hengquan's face changed quickly, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend Feng Sizhe, and immediately transformed from his previous arrogant attitude to a subordinate's identity, smiling at Feng Sizhe.

  As the saying goes, "A slap in the face is not given to a smiling person", let alone on someone else's turf like Qi Hengquan's. Moreover, this person has an uncle who is also very influential, and someone like him should be shown some respect, especially when Feng Sichao hasn't even found his footing yet, he should know better than to overstep his bounds.

  For the greater good, Feng Sizi withdrew his gaze from Wang Xiaodong and shifted it to Chen Fei, asking softly: "Mayor Chen, how are you? Is everything okay? Do we need to take you to the hospital for a check-up?"

  Chen Fei thought he would be able to regain his dignity and have a good fight with Wang Xiaodong today, but unexpectedly, the deputy county head arrived suddenly, leaving him somewhat dazed. What made him even more dizzy was that this county head was so young, and yet spoke in such a gentle tone, that he felt tears welling up in his eyes - these were tears of grievance. As a dignified deputy town head, he had been slapped in the face by the son of a township secretary, and this tone was hard to swallow. But thinking of Wang Xiaodong's background, he held back his tears and said with great emotion, "Thank you, County Head Feng, for your concern, I'm fine."

  "Ah, nothing's wrong with that." Feng Si Zhe nodded in agreement. In his heart, he thought Chen Fei knew when to stop, if at this moment he insisted on making a big deal out of it and wanting to take Wang Xiao Dong to court, it would be even harder for him to handle. Now by doing things this way, Chen Fei was leaving himself an exit route. This is what they called being in the world but not being free, when your power hasn't reached a certain level, when you encounter difficult situations, the first thing you should do is endure humiliation. If you can't even bear a little bit of hardship, then it's unlikely that you'll achieve anything great in the future.

  "Oh, Director Qi, what's going on here? I just walked out the door and heard the sound of fighting coming from inside. I thought this was your office, maybe someone was being hostile towards you, so in a rush, I kicked the door open. Is everything okay?" Feng Si Zhe glanced at Chen Fei with a reassuring look before shifting his gaze back to Qi Heng Quan. He deliberately didn't mention that he had been standing outside for half an hour already, in order to save face for Qi Heng Quan and also hoping he could see the situation clearly and yield.

  Zhi Hengquan didn't expect Feng Sichao to stand outside the door for half a day, he really thought they had just arrived and rushed in after hearing the dispute in the office. After listening to this, he nodded hastily with a twinkle in his eye, "Oh, that's right, it was all just a misunderstanding, yes, just a misunderstanding. Because of a small problem, the two people's opinions didn't match, and they got excited, haha, young people are like that, getting excited is inevitable."

  Zhi Hengquan now only thinks that Feng Sizhe should not ask further about this matter, after all, Chen Fei being beaten is a fact and it happened in his office, how can he explain it as the township head. If things get out of hand, he won't be able to justify it, rather than that, it's better to let today's matter go, anyway Chen Fei has already been punched by Wang Xiaodong, so he's already at a disadvantage. Besides, it's just about dealing with Chen Fei, the deputy township head, today is not an appropriate opportunity, we'll find another chance later.

  "Oh, I see." Feng Si Zhe looked at Qi Heng who was still on the road and nodded pretendingly. Then he turned to Chen Fei and said, "Deputy Mayor Chen, is this what happened? You really had a dispute with Wang Xiao Dong because of a small misunderstanding, and you confirm that this matter doesn't need the organization to take charge for you?"
