Chapter 147: Sudden Descent

  Chen Fei was now somewhat dazed, as he had already been suspended from his position as deputy head of the village. However, after Feng Si Zhe arrived, everything seemed to have changed. First, Village Head Qi appeared to have withdrawn his decision to suspend Chen Fei's duties. Then, a representative from the organization came forward to take charge on Chen Fei's behalf. Uncertain about what to do next, he turned his gaze towards Qi Hengquan, as he still had no idea what the other man was thinking.

  Chen Fei's gaze fell on Qi Hengquan, and Qi Xiangzhang immediately coughed and said: "This matter is purely accidental. I will let Wang Xiaodong apologize to Vice Mayor Chen afterwards. This should be considered a work injury, so all medical expenses will be reimbursed by the township. If Vice Mayor Chen feels unwell, he can take two days off first. Don't worry, whenever he feels better, he can come back to work."

  Qizhengquan's attitude was surprisingly good, which made Chen Fei quickly understand his meaning. He was also a clever person and knew that this was someone else's concession. Thinking that he had finally walked to today with great difficulty, and thinking that Feng Sichao, although the county leader, couldn't stay in Huoshang Township every day, he would have more time to deal with others in the future. The matter wouldn't be easily settled, otherwise it wouldn't be good for everyone. So, he quickly had an opinion: "Hmmm, since Director Qizheng said so, I'll go to the hospital to take a look. Wang Xiaodong comrade, you can't be so reckless in the future. You should know that my body is still okay, but if this punch were to hit someone else, what if something happened? Wouldn't it be troublesome?"

  Wang Xiaodong had already seen Chen Fei winking at him, and he also knew that this was a big deal made small. So, following Chen Fei's words, he said: "Yes, Deputy Director Chen is right, I'm just too young, and I do things somewhat impulsively. It won't happen again in the future. And you can rest assured to go to the hospital for treatment, all expenses will be covered by me. Really... sorry."

  When Wang Xiaodong said the three words "I'm sorry", he was obviously very reluctant. Today, not only was he caught red-handed for hitting someone, but the location of the incident was also extremely inappropriate. It's really not worth continuing to make a fuss about it, otherwise the county leaders will really get angry, and the one who will end up suffering is probably himself. Who told him to hit people without checking the almanac?

  Wang Xiaodong admitted his mistake, which made Qi Hengquan let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, alright, since that's the case, then Comrade Wang Ruihua, you're in charge of taking Vice Township Head Chen to the township clinic for a check-up." The matter was settled, and it seemed he too had let out a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and told Wang Ruihua and Chen Fei to leave first, while Wang Xiaodong also nodded and quickly left the scene. As someone who wasn't even a national public servant, appearing in this gathering was already somewhat strange; if he hadn't left promptly, it would have been an even bigger deal.

  When only three people were left in the house, Feng Siche also let out a sigh of relief. He didn't think this matter was worth getting angry about, mainly because he was still trying to understand the situation and it wasn't time to show his power yet. A person's words in official circles aren't necessarily determined by their position, but rather by their experience, background, and personal prestige. Obviously, Feng Siche currently lacked experience and prestige, so before he was fully prepared, he wouldn't make a move easily.

  Next, Feng Sizi listened to Qi Hengquan's introduction to Huodian Township as a county leader. In short, it was just one sentence that Huodian Township and Shisanli Town, Wohu Township were all about the same situation. If you must say what sets them apart, then it would be that this place is probably poorer compared to others because of its distance from Dahulu County.

  Feng Sicheng's first meeting with Qi Hengquan, the township head of Huodian Township, was like this. After arranging for them to rest, Qi Hengquan immediately called his cousin, Qi Hengsan, the deputy county magistrate, to report what had just happened.
