Entrusted by Wu Wangchun, Yang Jian needed to have a private chat with Yu Feng. It wasn't convenient at the casino, so he arranged to meet her at Pin Wei Shi Guang on the morning of the seventh.
Yang Jian arrived first and secured a booth by the window. San Pang and Liu Chao were in the lobby, drinking tea and eating.
Yu Feng arrived in a hurry a little past eleven.
"Sister Feng, are you very busy?"
Yang Jian poured her a cup of tea.
Yu Feng took a big gulp immediately. "Of course I'm busy! The company started work today, we just finished a meeting, and I have a dinner engagement later, so I won't be able to have lunch with you. Also, I won't have time to go to the casino anymore. Please settle the accounts for me every day."
"You're that busy? I was planning to order some dishes."
"You eat by yourself. I'll treat you next time if I have time. By the way, did you ask me to have lunch for a specific reason?"
"There's something I wanted to ask if you could help with. It's okay if it's difficult."
Yu Feng's time was tight, and Yang Jian didn't beat around the bush, directly relaying Wu Wangchun's request.
Yu Feng replied without hesitation, "That's a small matter. What's the name of that Director Fu? I'll have someone transfer him away in a few days. If you have evidence of his violations or misconduct, you should report him first. In short, as long as he's not in Xinqiao, right?"
"That simple?" Yang Jian was a bit taken aback. "His name is Yu Xiangdong."
Before Yang Jian could reply, Yu Feng stood up. "Alright, within a week, Yu Xiangdong will be transferred out of the Xinqiao Police Station. I have to go now."
After walking a few steps, Yu Feng turned back. "I also have a betting company at the casino. If anything comes up, look after it."
"No problem."
Watching Yu Feng's retreating back, Yang Jian still found it hard to believe. Such an important matter was settled so easily?
San Pang and Liu Chao came over with claypot rice.
"Brother Jian, why did Sister Feng leave before her butt even got warm? Did you tell her what Manager Wu said?"
San Pang asked, his mouth full of food.
"Yes, I did. She said it was a small matter and Yu Xiangdong would be transferred within a week."
"Is she bragging? A deputy director is a big shot where we are. How can a businesswoman get him transferred?"
"I think it's unlikely too, but she said so. We can only wait and see the result. If he's not transferred, we can't force it. We don't understand official matters."
"Exactly. What do you want to eat? I'll order for you."
"Let's have claypot rice too, the preserved meat one."
Just as San Pang was about to call over a passing waiter, his eyes fixed. Two beautiful women were walking towards him. One of them was breathtakingly beautiful and was even smiling and waving at him.
San Pang's heart raced. Could his luck with women have arrived? A beauty was actually approaching him?
"Hi, beautiful."
Just as San Pang raised his hand to greet them, the two girls had already walked past him.
"Yaoyao, what a coincidence, you're here for lunch too?"
Yang Jian was surprised to see Lu Yao walking up to him.
"Brother Jian, what a coincidence. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Want to join us?"
"Sure, what do you guys want to eat? I'll treat."
"Let me introduce you. Jian, this is my best friend Wei Xia. She just graduated from medical university and was assigned to the People's Hospital. Xia, this is my dad's apprentice, Yang Jian. He's a small boss who does engineering."
Lu Yao didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Wei Xia to sit opposite them.
Liu Chao and San Pang stood by, stunned. When did Yang Jian get to know such a beautiful girl? They clearly knew each other well.
San Pang was even more dejected. It turned out they were greeting Yang Jian just now, and he had been wishful thinking.
"Hello, Doctor Wei. Yaoyao, this is my cousin Liu Chao, and this is my classmate Li Hao, nicknamed San Pang."
Yang Jian had no choice but to introduce them.
Liu Chao was more reserved and shy, only nodding at them.
San Pang directly extended his hand. "Hello, Doctor Wei, hello, Yaoyao."
Wei Xia frowned as she looked at the menu and didn't respond. Lu Yao politely stood up and shook his hand. "Hello."
San Pang immediately became flushed with excitement. "What's your surname, Yaoyao?"
Seeing his lecherous demeanor, Yang Jian pushed him. "Hurry up and call the waiter to order. Have you eaten, or do you want to sit over there and have tea?"
"I haven't eaten enough yet, I want to order more. Don't worry, I'll treat this meal."
San Pang didn't want to miss the opportunity for close contact with the beauties.
Yang Jian shook his head and ignored him. This kid lost his bearings when he saw beautiful women.
"Brother Jian, do you have time this afternoon? Shall we go see a movie?"
Lu Yao seemed very happy.
"See a movie? Aren't you guys working this afternoon?"
"I don't start work until tomorrow. The students won't be back at school until the tenth. She's also officially starting tomorrow. We're out to enjoy the last day of our vacation."
"We have time, we have time! Let's watch a movie this afternoon, and go singing tonight."
Before Yang Jian could speak, San Pang eagerly agreed.
Yang Jian looked at him. "Do you have time? Aren't you going to work?"
San Pang was a bit embarrassed. "Brother Jian, can I take a leave? It's rare for beauties to invite us, we can't dampen their spirits."
Liu Chao couldn't stand it any longer and returned to his original seat with his bowl.
Lu Yao asked curiously, "What are you guys doing this afternoon? Have you received a project today, it's only the seventh?"
"We've set up a casino in Songjiacun. It opens every afternoon, so we don't have time to accompany you to the movies."
There was nothing to hide. Yang Jian told the truth. Gambling was rampant these days, and opening a casino wasn't something shameful.
As soon as he said this, Lu Yao and Wei Xia stared at him with wide eyes, their faces full of astonishment.
"Oh, right, they're also performing opera over there. Do you want to go and see? It's very lively."
"Opera? We have to go."
Lu Yao and Wei Xia exchanged glances and answered in unison.
"Yes, yes, yes! Watching opera is more fun than watching movies. There are lots of snacks over there, it's so lively."
San Pang immediately found a new topic.
"Then let's just eat something light, and go early. To be honest, I've never watched a Peking opera in my life."
Lu Yao seemed a little impatient.
"Don't rush. The opera starts at one-thirty, there's still plenty of time. Eat slowly."
After speaking, Yang Jian let the two girls order dishes.
As they ate and chatted, Wei Xia was a bit shy. Lu Yao mostly asked about the casino, and San Pang became the most professional commentator.
Halfway through the meal, Song Jianmin called.
Yang Jian was sitting inside and didn't get up. "Jianmin, have you eaten?"
"Yang Jian, hurry and take me to the hospital, I've been beaten up."
Song Jianmin's voice was weak, as if he was seriously injured.
"What? Where are you now? I'll be right there."
"On the road out of Chengguan, near Luogang."
Yang Jian hung up and got up.
Lu Yao quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"My friend was beaten up and seriously injured. I have to go pick him up immediately. You guys eat slowly."
"If he's seriously injured, call an ambulance first! He can get treatment as quickly as possible. Hurry and call. I'll go with you to take a look. Some patients can't be moved casually."
Upon hearing there was an injured person, Wei Xia immediately offered her suggestion.
"Then let's go."
Yang Jian took out his phone and ran out. Liu Chao, Lu Yao, and Wei Xia followed closely behind. San Pang had no choice but to stay and pay the bill.
