Chapter 444: Chapter 0445 Who’s Making Trouble [Part 2]

Xue Yafang’s aunt trembled as she held the phone in her hand.

And Kong Jun’ai was shaking just as much as he held the note.

Kong Jun’ai also knew he had caused a disaster. He was certain the person on the other end of the line was He Jianguo without a doubt. Someone who could directly provide He Jianguo’s office number was clearly not a person of simple status.

But what had he just done, and what had he just said?

Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?

Of course, the trouble he brought was upon his own father.

Who was He Jianguo? The City Party Secretary of East River City, the designated next governor of Songjiang Province. His own father was merely a director at the personnel department of the Finance Bureau, and even now, just an acting director at that.

The gap between his father’s rank and He Jianguo’s was not just a little, it was huge.

His father didn’t even know the office phone number of He Jianguo.

"Clang!" Xue Yafang’s aunt’s hand shook, and the phone dropped straight onto the table.

This scared everyone. To drop the phone of the City Party Secretary—wasn’t that like asking for death?

But Xue Yafang’s aunt, now, she dared not pick up the phone to say anything. It was as if it were a bomb, something she couldn’t get away from fast enough.

Xue Yafang’s father was nudged by his wife and finally came to his senses. He hesitated, then apprehensively picked up the phone.

"Secretary He... Secretary He, it’s... it’s..." Xue Yafang’s father wanted to say that it was Chu Feng who had asked him to make the call, but try as he might, he couldn’t recall Chu Feng’s name.

"What’s your classmate’s name?" His wife, knowing him best, quickly asked Xue Yafang.

"Chu Feng," Xue Yafang replied.

Xue Yafang’s father, upon hearing Xue Yafang’s response, hurriedly said, "It was Chu Feng who asked me to make this call for you."

When He Jianguo on the other end of the phone heard that his own uncle had asked for the call, his expression immediately softened, saying, "Comrade, don’t be nervous. Since Mr. Chu asked you to call me, there must be something important. Just tell me what it is."

In front of a stranger he didn’t know, He Jianguo still couldn’t address Chu Feng as his uncle.

But just this address of ’Mr.’ was enough to shock Xue Yafang’s father.

Even the City Party Secretary was so respectfully addressing him as ’Mr.’, Xue Yafang’s father didn’t dare imagine what Chu Feng’s real identity was.

Actually, Xue Yafang was equally astonished. She knew Chu Feng came from a powerful background, but she had never thought that Chu Feng was someone who could just call up the City Party Secretary.

Xue Yafang’s father was stunned for a full ten seconds before he suddenly remembered that He Jianguo on the phone was still waiting for him to speak.

"I’m sorry, Secretary He, I was distracted just now," Xue Yafang’s father hurriedly apologized.

He Jianguo could somewhat guess the reason for the other party’s aberration, so he didn’t probe further and kindly said, "It’s okay, just say whatever you have to say."

Immediately, Xue Yafang’s father recounted to He Jianguo all his current misfortunes, as well as those he had suffered in the past, in great detail.

In the past, Xue Yafang’s father hadn’t considered filing a complaint because, firstly, he had no connections, and secondly, he was well aware of how deep the waters of the system were, so he chose to suffer in silence.

But now that he had the opportunity to explain everything to the highest leader of East River City, he naturally wouldn’t miss this chance.

After listening to Xue Yafang’s father, He Jianguo slammed the table heavily and said, "Absurd! To think that this is how the officials who are supposed to serve the people are selected. Comrade Xue, rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter. I will see that justice is done for you as well as ensure a fair competitive environment for everyone. As long as you are capable, I guarantee you can join the Finance Bureau."

Upon hearing these words, Xue Yafang’s father said excitedly, "Thank you, Secretary He, thank you, Secretary He."

After excitedly hanging up the phone, Xue Yafang’s father took a deep breath.

It wasn’t just relief from the earlier tension, but also a moment when Xue Yafang’s father truly felt he could hold his head high and exhale.

However, Xue Yafang’s maternal aunt and Kong Jun’ai were too afraid to even breathe loudly at that moment.

They had both been nearby just now and heard every clear word spoken by He Jianguo.

If He Jianguo said there would be a thorough investigation, then there certainly would be. When that happened, Kong Jun’ai’s father would definitely be out of luck. Without his father, he would no longer have any capital to be arrogant.

As for Xue Yafang’s maternal aunt, she was worried, fretting over her earlier offense against Chu Feng. If Chu Feng really sought retribution, what could she do, and how could she handle it?

"Yafang, your aunt, I was just... overwhelmed in the moment. I was just anxious for your father’s sake and said some things that offended your classmate. Yafang, could you please talk to your classmate on my behalf, ask him not to blame your aunt? I would really like to have the chance to apologize to him in person," said Xue Yafang’s maternal aunt, her face flushed.

"Miss Xue, I want to apologize to your classmate in person as well. I really didn’t mean to target him earlier; I just discussed some bad practices. And I was just boasting; my father really doesn’t have that much power," Kong Jun’ai nearly begged, grasping at the only lifeline.

Xue Yafang, seeing the smugness of the two people just moments before, felt an indescribable thrill.

But to ask her to speak to Chu Feng about this, she genuinely worried she didn’t have the influence, nor the face to do so.

After all, Chu Feng was a true big shot, someone who could even instruct the City Party Secretary, and she was merely his classmate.

With no expression on her face, Xue Yafang said, "He and I are just classmates, I’m afraid I can’t help you."

"You certainly can, Yafang. If he only saw you as an ordinary classmate, he wouldn’t have come over to help. Yafang, your aunt is begging you, please help me. Both your uncle and your cousin work in the government, and if your classmate really holds a grudge, then your uncle and cousin are done for," Xue Yafang’s aunt said, on the verge of tears.

"I was really just boasting earlier. Miss Xue, please explain for me," Kong Jun’ai was also close to tears.

If his Laozi found out that he had got him into trouble, he would be lucky if all Laozi did was break his legs.

Just as Xue Yafang was about to relent, she saw Chu Feng walk over to a group of five beauties and even took over the bags they were holding.

Seeing this, Xue Yafang’s heart sank to the bottom, and she said coldly, "I’ve told you, I’m just his classmate, I can’t help you with anything. I’m very tired today, Mom and Dad, I’m going back first."
