Fei Hu went downstairs and put on his Big Sunglasses again. Two security guards at the entrance rushed over and politely opened the door. One of them even said, "Boss, take care."
Seeing their expressions, Fei Hu found it somewhat amusing. What kind of Boss was he? There wasn't even a car to drive. He felt a bit disappointed; perhaps it was because people's thoughts elevate with their environment. He had never thought this way before.
While Fei Hu and A-Lian were waiting for a taxi by the roadside, a woman named Xiao Xi came running over, her large chest bouncing as she approached. As soon as she reached Fei Hu, she shyly lowered her head. Fei Hu found it strange that this yellow Boss sent his mistress to chase after him; he wondered what had changed.
Xiao Qi asked sharply, "What's going on? Does your Boss want to invite us to dinner before we leave?"
Xiao Xi smiled and said, "If you all are willing to give me face, I’ll treat you tonight. How about that?"
Fei Hu felt very puzzled. It was unusual for a mistress to treat on behalf of her Boss. He coldly asked, "Is your Boss having second thoughts about the check?"
Xiao Xi shook her head and said, "He wouldn't dare. As soon as you left, he called Poison Wolf to inquire about you. Poison Wolf told him not to provoke you, saying you have a powerful background. After hanging up, our Boss kept cursing Boss Hong and didn’t mention you again."
"Oh, then why did you come looking for us?" Fei Hu asked lightly, feeling a bit happy.
Xiao Xi's face turned red up to her neck as she quietly said, "It's about the photo you took earlier. Could you delete it? Everyone has it tough; I didn’t want to do this, but my family..."
"Alright, so that's what this is about. But don’t worry; I don’t have anything on my phone. I just wanted to scare you," Fei Hu said as he opened his phone and showed her the album.
Just then, a taxi passed by, and A-Lian hurriedly waved it down. The three of them quickly got into the car, and Xiao Xi awkwardly turned to leave. Watching her back, Fei Hu felt uneasy; he really couldn't pinpoint how he felt about this situation.
That afternoon, Fei Hu became a hero at the glove factory. Not only did he recover over five hundred thousand, but he also helped them find new opportunities. According to the sisters who went to deliver samples in the afternoon, their products had passed inspection, and A-Lian was scheduled to go over tomorrow to discuss cooperation.
Faced with such good news, more than twenty sisters were ecstatic and danced with joy. Especially Xiao Qi, who suddenly started calling him Brother Fei Hu repeatedly, warming his heart.
During dinner time, A-Lian insisted on treating Fei Hu to a meal, but he politely declined. He knew that the glove factory could only get moving now because they still needed to figure out who to ask for the remaining five hundred thousand.
In the factory, after having a bit of Staff Meal, Fei Hu asked Xiao Qi to take him to a Budget Hotel nearby, as Ye Xiaofei wouldn't let him go back home, indicating that there must be some issue.
Although the room was a bit small, it was well-equipped. Fei Hu had just finished showering and was lying on the bed watching TV when someone knocked on the door. When Fei Hu opened it, he found it was A-Lian and Xiao Qi.
A-Lian, who had just showered, looked much more refreshed. She had changed into a new outfit, and perhaps due to her improved mood, she appeared completely different from how Fei Hu had seen her earlier that day.
"Fei Hu, are you tired? If you're not, why don't the three of us go to the hospital? Bald Zhang has been in there for several days, and I haven't had time to visit him; I only called to check on him. Otherwise, he might get upset," A-Lian said with a bright smile, her eyes gazing at Fei Hu with warmth.
Fei Hu chuckled and replied, "Sure! This guy didn't even call me; I wouldn't have known anything happened."
"Stop lying; your phone doesn't even work," Xiao Qi suddenly retorted.
Fei Hu slapped his forehead as he remembered that his card was still a Donggang card. He hadn't told anyone how to reach him. Moreover, it seemed like this card was out of credit. He hurriedly opened his bag and took out the phone card he used in City A and quickly swapped it. While he was changing the card, Xiao Qi leaned over and said enviously, "Fei Hu Ge, you're really something! You're using such a good phone; this model must cost over three thousand!"
Fei Hu was taken aback; was this phone that expensive? He really didn't know. Yingzi must have spent quite a bit of money on it. Feeling a bit awkward, Fei Hu smiled and said, "I don't know if it's expensive or not; it's just a tool for making calls. It was a gift, so I don't really care."
"Wow! Fei Hu Ge, the person who gave you that phone must be either a female boss or a rich second generation. You're impressive!" Xiao Qi said while making a funny face at Fei Hu.
A-Lian also smiled but her laughter seemed somewhat forced.
In the surgical ward of Five Institutes, there were three beds in the room. Today two patients were discharged, and since no one else came in the afternoon, it became Bald Zhang's private room. He had his head wrapped in bandages and was wearing a hospital gown, leaning against the bed listlessly while watching TV on the wall. Just then, the door to the Sick Room was pushed open, and Fei Hu and A-Lian walked in first with Xiao Qi following behind them carrying several bags of fruit.
"Hey! Is this how you treat visitors? Everyone comes to see you and you act all indifferent!" Fei Hu shouted at Bald Zhang on the bed.
Bald Zhang looked up upon hearing Fei Hu's voice. Seeing Fei Hu and A-Lian there made him spring up from the bed with a loud laugh. "I thought it was the nurse coming in to tidy up! I didn't expect you guys to come! Come in, come in!" Bald Zhang said joyfully.
The group sat down together. Fei Hu glanced at Bald Zhang's head and softly asked, "How are you? The injury isn't too serious, right?"
"It's nothing, my scalp is tough, just a scratch. I couldn't swallow my anger, so I came in. Besides, if I didn't lie down that day, this matter wouldn't have ended, and I wouldn't be able to step down," Bald Zhang said with a forced smile.
A-Lian stood up and walked around the room a few times, smiling as she said, "Not bad, the setup is quite complete. Is there anyone taking care of you? Do you want me to send a friend over?"
"No need, no need. There is someone, but it's some guy. I sent him away. What’s there to take care of? I can eat and walk; every day it's just getting an IV or something. Why do I need someone? It’s annoying to have someone watching me," Bald Zhang hurriedly shook his hand, rejecting A-Lian's kindness.
The group chatted for a while, and Fei Hu explained to Bald Zhang why he had turned off his phone. When Bald Zhang heard that Fei Hu had recovered some of the funds for A-Lian, he was delighted and gave a thumbs up, saying with a smile, "Brother, you’re talented. I really didn’t misjudge you. Once I’m discharged from the hospital, let’s discuss how to properly integrate these people. If they’re not useful, we’ll eliminate them. We need to get serious about this and make some noise in A City."
Fei Hu smiled and said to A-Lian and Xiao Qi, "You two step out for a bit; I need to talk to him about some private matters." The two women nodded understandingly and closed the door behind them.
"What happened? Tell me," Fei Hu said as he punched Bald Zhang lightly.
Bald Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "It’s about that Big Sister. We were singing together, and when we went back at night, she asked me to walk her home. One thing led to another, and we ended up in bed. She didn’t say anything; I didn’t ask either. In the middle of the night, her boyfriend came back. He’s also a thug. At first, he tried to extort money from me. When he started demanding ridiculous amounts, we got into a fight. That night, I had a bit too much to drink and since I had slept with his girlfriend, I held back a bit when we fought. In the end, he ended up breaking my head."
Fei Hu was furious and scolded him, "Are you kidding me? She has a boyfriend but still drags you into her bed? You actually went for it? I'm really speechless."
"Ah, out here in the world, what boyfriend or no boyfriend? I think I probably fell into their trap. In the end, they didn’t even understand the situation; it turned into a case of losing more than they gained," Bald Zhang said with regret on his face.
Fei Hu nodded; he actually thought the same thing but didn’t want to say it out loud to spare Bald Zhang's feelings. Now that Bald Zhang had admitted it himself, Fei Hu didn't mind anymore and asked, "So what are you planning to do about this?"
"What else can I do? It's shameful anyway; I'm afraid others will laugh if it gets out. Let’s just leave it at that. I'm injured; they can cover my medical expenses as a lesson for me," Bald Zhang said earnestly. It seemed that some things could only be understood through experience.
