As the wine flowed, Ye Feng's many old classmates gradually adapted to the atmosphere.
The three big shots had no intention of giving Ye Feng a hard time at all, instead, they chatted with him casually while toasting, treating him almost like they would a superior.
This situation surprised everyone, but no one asked further questions, sensing vaguely what was happening.
"Wanqing, why don't you represent us three old guys and toast Mr. Ye?" By now, Mayor Gong had become quite familiar with Ye Feng and was smiling at Feng Wanqing as he spoke.
Having relaxed, Feng Wanqing had drunk quite a bit and was beginning to feel tipsy, so she laughed and toasted Ye Feng:
"Mr. Ye, how about we drink cross-cupped wine together?"
The moment Feng Wanqing's words came out, they immediately elicited a vigorous agreement from the three big shots:
"That's right! Mr. Ye, you and Wanqing were desk mates in middle school, both talented and beautiful, drinking cross-cupped wine is totally appropriate!"
Ye Feng wore a bitter smile, knowing Feng Wanqing was somewhat drunk, and before he could say anything, Zhang Ximeng spoke up:
"Wanqing, what's the fun in drinking cross-cupped wine with a man! Let's you and I drink it instead!"
Uh...
Zhang Ximeng's words took everyone aback and then they burst into laughter, surprised that China's most famous female anchor was so humorous.
Feng Wanqing was stunned for a moment too, then pouted her red lips, overwhelmed with drunkenness:
"Fine! Today I'll drink a lot with you, TVB's top actress, and see whose tolerance is greater!"
"Humph! You're no match for me!"
Zhang Ximeng dabbed her cute nose with a finger and picked up the glass, starting to drink cross-cupped wine with Feng Wanqing for real.
But what no one expected was that these two women, once they started, refused to admit defeat, one cup after another, unstoppable!
"Mr. Ye, I heard you're from the Phoenix Mountain Range and have relatives buried up there. How about the county provides funding to refurbish your relative's grave?"
Seeing Zhang Ximeng and Feng Wanqing start their drinking contest, Mayor Gong finally seized the chance and whispered to Ye Feng.
Hearing this, Ye Feng simply smiled lightly, "No need! I appreciate Mayor Gong's kindness."
Seeing that Ye Feng had declined, the three big shots could not say much, and at that moment, Gua Wa came over with Xiao Qin to toast.
"Mayor Gong, Secretary Yan, Director Qiu, your presence at our wedding truly honors us! We youngsters should offer you a toast!"
Gua Wa was a bit flushed with excitement, as it was his first time speaking to such high-profile figures, and he could tell that all this was because of Ye Feng.
Not just him, even Xiao Qin looked at Ye Feng with both admiration and shame.
"How could that be possible!" the three, led by Mayor Gong, said, gesturing towards Ye Feng:
"Young man, if you want to toast, you must toast Mr. Ye first, then we dare to drink!"
Mayor Gong's words once again left everyone present utterly astonished; they could see Ye Feng was no ordinary man, but they couldn't have imagined that Mayor Gong and the others would hold him in such high esteem. From this situation, it seemed that they were somewhat afraid of Ye Feng!
This fact both shocked and delighted Gua Wa and his wife, and without hesitation, they began toasting Ye Feng:
"Ye, we're brothers, I..."
Gua Wa handed the glass to Ye Feng, about to say something when Ye Feng waved his hand, stopping his polite words, and drank it all in one go!
"Gua Wa! We've been friends since we were kids, there's no need to say more! If you want to be thankful, thank the County Chief Gong and the others, they've already arranged a job for you!"
Ye Feng said with a smile on his face to Gua Wa, and hearing this, Gua Wa and Xiao Qin were instantly filled with surprise and joy, and turned to look at County Chief Gong and the others.
County Chief Gong smiled and nodded, then said to Gua Wa:
"The county government is currently hiring, you could apply and try, and there might be a chance to work with us!"
The words of County Chief Gong left everyone present stunned!
A job at the county government was highly coveted here, and it was akin to a government office where almost everyone was a leader.
Now, with just one word from Ye Feng, Gua Wa was practically handed a position there, and it seemed that County Chief Gong held Gua Wa in very high regard!
"Ye Zi! Thank you..."
Gua Wa was so moved at this moment that his eyes turned red. He had been worried about how to pay off a high-interest loan, and now by entering the government office, his in-laws would surely help him pay off the loan first, and the lives of him and his sister would change dramatically!
Soon, the wedding banquet ended, and everyone dispersed!
County Chief Gong and the others also left their contact information and, after many unsuccessful invitations to Ye Feng, they said their farewells and left.
Only Ye Feng was left, looking helplessly at the drunken Zhang Ximeng and Feng Wanqing!
Zhang Ximeng had a high alcohol tolerance, and even though she drank a lot, her mind was still very clear at the moment. She looked at Feng Wanqing, who was almost lying on the table, and then chuckled to Ye Feng:
"Ye Feng, your 'old friend' is not as good as my 'good friend,' huh!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was once again speechless, "Can you get yourself home okay?"
"No worries! I still have two bodyguards with me, you take her home first!" said Zhang Ximeng with a charming laugh, throwing a flirty look at Ye Feng:
"You should really thank me, I'm actually looking out for your benefit here!"
After saying this, Zhang Ximeng smiled and glanced at the drunken Feng Wanqing, then slowly left, swaying her hips gracefully.
Ye Feng watched Zhang Ximeng's figure, his face filled with helplessness. He realized that this beautiful anchor seemed increasingly inclined to tease him.
Shaking his head, Ye Feng then picked up the dazedly drunk Feng Wanqing in his arms, said goodbye to Gua Wa, and got into a taxi.
"Young man, where to?" the taxi driver asked Ye Feng at this moment.
"Yinuo Gardens!" Ye Feng replied directly.
Feng Wanqing had lived with a nanny in Yinuo Gardens from a young age, the most upscale housing estate in Jiangcheng County, and Ye Feng used to run past it every day on his way to school.
Every time he reached Yinuo Gardens, Feng Wanqing would always just happen to come out, and they would go to school together.
This happened almost every day, and Ye Feng knew it was no coincidence, but that Feng Wanqing would wait for him at the gates of the estate every day!
Thinking back to those innocent times, a sense of nostalgia flickered across Ye Feng's lips. Feng Wanqing had stayed at Jiangcheng Middle School for a year before being absorbed by the Party School as a reserve force; otherwise, she could very well have been his first love!
When they arrived at Yinuo Gardens, Ye Feng took the keys out of Feng Wanqing's pocket, checked the apartment number on them, and then carried her straight into the complex!
However, just as Ye Feng entered the complex, two male figures emerged from within.
Seeing the figures of the two men, Ye Feng's brows furrowed tightly because he caught a faint scent of blood from them!
