Chapter 309: The Delegate From Dongcheng (1)
"What's bring you here? Did something happened in Dongcheng?" Zhang Qin Feng answered the door personally instead of the maid and butler hired to manage his house. And standing by the door was Wang Yufei, with the rucksack still on her back.
On the bodyguard's hand following her was a luggage case about the height of an adult's waist. Evidently, she will be here for quite a while if that's what she brought over this time.
"Can I only come if something is happening in Dongcheng? Don't tell me you're hiding someone else in this house?" Wang Yufei pouted. But her action shows otherwise as she gets closer to Zhang Qin Feng and takes a sniff around his hair and body.
"Ew… The same coconut body washes and shampoo… How can you be so lazy after so long? Didn't you have butler and maids to shop on your behalf?" Wang Yufei said. It seems that Zhang Qin Feng's thrifty habit is still lingering around even after he gets rich.
"Alright, let's not talk here and get inside the house. Have you eaten?" Zhang Qin Feng grabbed Wang Yufei's hand and took her into the dining room, where the chef was preparing some food for both of them.
The two soon took their seat and continued their conversation. The servants working with Zhang Qin Feng left the dining room after noticing that Zhang Qin Feng had nothing else he needed them.
Even if he had something he needed, all Zhang Qin Feng had to do was tap at the Luna Device to get someone's attention.
"Feng, since you're so smart, I'm sure you know who called me to visit you, correct?" Wang Yufei smiled while she spoke. Of course, part of her smile comes from holding Zhang Qin Feng's hand after not meeting each other for about a month.
"Hmm… To make my beloved woman come here without hesitation… Was it Fatty Xie?" Zhang Qin Feng purposely guessed wrongly on his first try to tease Wang Yufei.
"Of course it's not Fatty Xie!" Wang Yufei pouted again. Although she knew that Zhang Qin Feng was teasing her, she found it hard to not get angry at him.
"Alright, alright… It was the grandfather that called you here, correct? As for his reason, was it due to the warship reported by Dongcheng's Naval Fleet?" Zhang Qin Feng stopped laughing at the angry Wang Yufei.
His last sentence made Wang Yufei went silent for a moment.
Wang Yufei took a sip on the wine served on a beautiful crystal glass before she turned her gaze back at Zhang Qin Feng again. A hint of hesitation was written on her face, making her arrival here seem like she was doing something on behalf of the country.
By right, this was the look Zhang Qin Feng hated to see the most. Not only Zhang Qin Feng, but perhaps everyone from the Wang Family as well.
Unfortunately for them, the Wang Family and Wang Yufei had no other choice but to represent Dongcheng in this private meeting. Right now, Wang Yufei was here as a delegate from Dongcheng Country and not as Zhang Qin Feng's spouse.
This is why she has a complicated feeling right now.
Honestly spoken, the action took by Dongcheng this time is somewhat exceeded their trustworthiness. Not only it failed to obtain Zhang Qin Feng's positive opinion towards how the government works, but it also failed to get his interest.
'Looks like the Dongcheng government is still as weak as it was many years ago…' Zhang Qin Feng shook his head due to disappointment. As someone born and grown up in Dongcheng, his loyalty to the country is unquestionable.
But sadly, loyalty is always placed together on a scale against profit. To the people with flesh, blood, and spirit, the weight of their integrity was always lighter before benefits. And this is where the government failed.
"Grandfather said that if you wish to not entertain these kinds of shameless approaches, you can simply renounce your citizenship. You don't have to worry about what we think or what your parents or uncle might think."
"He said, you're free to decide what you think is correct. We'll be taking care of the people you know in Shuiyue City, even if the government or extremist party were thinking otherwise." Wang Yufei repeated what the elder told her to convey to Zhang Qin Feng.
While Zhang Qin Feng is rubbing his forehead from all these disturbing thoughts, a bell came from the kitchen as the chef went through the door to serve the couple their dinner for tonight.
It was a table of a lavish meal, ranging from poultry to steak, vegetables, and most importantly, rice. As the staple food between Dongcheng, Han Country, Marianna, New Panem, and most of the countries in the Oceana Alliance, rice is essential in their meal.
"Sir, is there anything else you like to add for your dinner?" the chef asked before he cleared the kitchen.
"There's nothing else to add. Thank you for dinner, and you may continue with what you'll have to do." Zhang Qin Feng smiled and allowed the chef to leave the dining room. The chef's arrival gave the couple a short moment to cool down until he withdrew.
"Yufei, can I ask you to do me a favor now?" Zhang Qin Feng gives what she said thought and decides to answer her in his own way.
"Sure. Anything you asked for." Wang Yufei nodded at his words.
"Then, please remain as my spouse today and talk about the others tomorrow, alright?" Zhang Qin Feng did what he usually does for Wang Yufei and cut a few pieces of the steak in her place.
"Of course." Wang Yufei smiled.
The two eventually finished their dinner together before retreating back to the room and continuing with the couple's deed. And on the following day, he brought Wang Yufei along as they made their way towards the Presidential Palace.
The moment they were got in, Wang Yufei's neck had a visitors card on her, as her visit this time is as a representative of Dongcheng, and just merely Zhang Qin Feng's wife.
