Chapter 73

Cheng Feng found a designated driver and arrived at Qiao Ye's door at lightning speed.

He rang the doorbell, reeking of alcohol.

He Shanyi walked to the door and opened it.

Cheng Feng suddenly collapsed in his arms.

Without saying a word, he fell asleep.

It would be a bad idea to let He Shan go, and it would be a bad idea not to let him go.

Then he threw him onto the sofa, clapped his hands, and sat down unhappily, "Why can't he be drunk to death?"

Qiao also glanced at Cheng Feng lying on the sofa and was not surprised at the scene in front of him.

She made a phone call and asked, "Check for me, who Cheng Feng drank with today."

After hanging up the phone, He Shanyi looked at her and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to investigate this matter?"

Logically speaking, this matter was just a detail. He was a little puzzled as to why Qiao suddenly became concerned about it.

"Cheng Feng has always been a good drinker. Not many people can make him drink."

In one sentence, He Shanyi knew it.

He was silent for a while, then opened another bottle of beer and started drinking.

The cold wine flowed down the throat, bringing with it a green and astringent taste.

Joe also sat at the bar, looking through the contract in his hand.

Neither of them spoke, they just minded their own business.

Until Qiao Ye's phone rang again.

Their eyes all fell on the vibrating cell phone.

Joe also reached out, picked up the phone, and answered it.

He Shanyi was quite far away from her and couldn't quite hear what the person on the other end of the phone said. He just saw Qiao nod and say, "I understand. Thank you for your help."

Seeing her movements, He Shan raised an eyebrow, "Who is it?"

Joe didn't answer immediately. Instead, he picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract before saying, "Elros."

This name was something He Shanyi had not expected. He almost blurted out, "Why is it him?!"

Elros and the others knew about it, but if he did all this, then nothing could be certain.

"Before you ask this question, you should ask why Elros wants to get close to Cheng Feng. Does he have some hidden secrets in getting close to Cheng Feng?"

Now the entire country of M is watching next year's general election.

After all, the next general election is four years away.

Qiao also guessed that it would be related to next year's election, but she couldn't figure out what the connection was.

Cheng Feng is not a citizen of Country M, so even if he agrees, he cannot increase the votes of Faction B.

Contacting Cheng Feng is simply a useless effort.

But now Cheng Feng had fainted. Even if she wanted to ask, she had to wait until he woke up.

"Are you going back or staying here?" Qiao also looked at him.

"You have a lot of empty rooms here, so I'll stay here."

"what ever."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, stopped, and looked at him, "You can choose any room on the first floor, but you are not allowed to touch that room."

She pointed to a closed door not far away.

Following the direction she pointed, He Shanyi also saw the door there.

He smiled and said, "This is not the room of one of your little lovers, is it?"

The "certain" lover here, both of them know who is being referred to.

Qiao didn't deny it, "Just don't go."

"knew."

After saying that, she carried her things and walked towards the second floor.

The whole room was plunged into darkness.

Only her room still had a faint light.

Joe also looked out the window. There was no one on the quiet street.

Occasionally you can see a tram speeding past.

When the sky turned pale, a rustling sound was heard outside.

Qiao was also awakened by such a sound.

To be exact, she barely slept all night.

Therefore, it only takes a little noise outside to wake him up.

After a quick wash, he went downstairs.

The one who made the sound was Cheng Feng who had already woken up.

Seeing her, he smiled awkwardly, "Did I disturb you?"

Qiao also shook his head. "No, I didn't sleep much last night, so it doesn't count as waking me up."

After saying that, she walked around Cheng Feng and came to the kitchen. While taking out a slice of toast from the refrigerator, she asked, "There's only toast and eggs for breakfast. If you don't want to eat, you can only find something yourself."

"I'm fine with either. By the way, do you have any hangover tea?"

Cheng Feng rubbed his confused head and asked.

Qiao also looked at him and said, "It's in the tea cabinet, go get it yourself."

"Okay, thank you."

Joe also made a simple breakfast and then took out only his own food.

At this time, He Shanyi also woke up. His clothes were a little wrinkled, and he looked like a completely different person from his usual smart appearance.

"Breakfast is in the kitchen, go get it yourself."

"I didn't expect that staying overnight at your house would include a free meal." The young man teased.

Qiao also rolled his eyes and said, "Eat it if you want, or not. If not, get out of here."

No one said anything the whole morning. Maybe it was because they had just woken up, so their brains were still not working.

After finishing breakfast, Qiao Ye said, "Wash your dishes and put them there. Then we can talk about what happened last night with Cheng Feng."

When Cheng Feng saw her sending him the address, he had already guessed it almost exactly.

Probably, what happened to him in Country Y has now been known to Qiao.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when the three of them sat down again.

Qiao Ye didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. "Tell me, what have you been doing in Country Y? I thought you went there just to expand your family business, but I didn't expect you to get involved in so many other things?"

When she mentioned this, Cheng Feng shrugged, not caring at all about how much trouble he had caused. "Would you believe me if I said this was all an accident?"

"What do you think?" Joe asked him back.

"Actually, this incident really isn't my fault. I was originally planning to follow my grandfather's philosophy and go to Country Y to expand the family business. But once we got there, the weather wasn't right, and I was directly drawn into a gunfight. It's okay for me to engage in a gunfight, but I have a bunch of people under my command. They have elderly parents and young children. They can't follow me through life and death, right..."

There is no need to make things very clear between smart people.

The remaining two people present all understood what he meant.

"But obviously, your expansion has failed." He Shanyi said thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Cheng Feng drank a glass of warm water. "I disbanded the people over there and asked them to find another job. Then I ran to Country M. I originally wanted to join you, but it happened that your company was preparing to go public, so it was not a good time to come to you."

Joe also listened to his words, thinking about something. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Noticing that both of their eyes were on her, she raised her head and asked, "Then why were you with that bastard Elros yesterday?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this. As soon as she did, Cheng Feng was furious. "This guy, I thought he was a kind person, but he just wanted to use me and canvass votes for Faction A. If it weren't for that text message from Mr. Qiao, I would have beaten this damn guy to death."

Things were similar to what Joe thought. Elros did this for this purpose.

"Don't you consider going back?"

Hearing her words, Cheng Feng almost fell to his knees. "Oh my goodness, my Master Qiao, please be kind and don't let me go back. If I go back, you will really break my legs."

They all knew something about each other's family situations, especially Qiao Ye, who knew these things too well.

The reason I asked was just to get Cheng Feng's attitude.

Hearing this, she nodded, "I understand. Since you don't want to go back, why don't you stay with Liming."

"Li Ming?" Cheng Feng got up from the ground and sat back in his chair, as if the person who was in such a mess just now was not him. "Who is this?"

Afterwards, he found some information about this person in his mind and asked in disbelief, "Are you talking about that kid from the Li family?"

"uh-huh."

“…”

Because both the Li family and the Cheng family are in the hotel business, they have heard of each other in the industry.

It is inevitable that they will be compared and mentioned on the same level.

This made Cheng Feng very annoyed.

However, the Li family later moved to Country M and gave up the domestic market, which allowed the Cheng family to become the leading hotel family in the country.

The contrast between them gradually became smaller.

Therefore, when he first heard the name Liming, he didn't react for a while.

"Why do you think that guy is willing to have a good talk with me?" Cheng Feng's words sounded muffled, as if he was a little unconfident.

"Why, is there anything that our Young Master Cheng can't do?" Qiao also joked.

"That's not the case..." Cheng Feng's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Actually, there is another reason why I let you go," Qiao Ye said.

"Hmm?" The young man raised his head, not knowing what she meant.

"If Elros didn't take you away last night, he wouldn't let it go. If you were with Liming, at least this guy wouldn't dare to act rashly."

Cheng Feng knew that Qiao had good intentions, but he still couldn't get over it.

"At this point, I think your safety is more important. What do you think?"

Qiao Ye's words seemed to be asking for his opinion, but in fact it was no longer up to him.

Cheng Feng himself knew that he had gotten into a big disaster, and it seemed that only Qiao could save him.

So no matter what, you have to listen to her.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head dejectedly, "What about the old man?"

Everything else is easy to deal with, but his clumsy lies are probably not good enough for the old man to read.

"I'll explain things to the old man. Just keep yourself hidden until next year's election."

Hearing her words, Cheng Feng was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Ah? Do I have to wait until the election is over?"

"Otherwise, before the election is over, you are just a dollar walking on the street, and everyone wants to grab a handful of it." Joe also sneered.

“…”

Well, it seems he was overthinking it.

Seeing their expressions, He Shanyi knew that they had almost finished their discussion.

So he asked the question that concerned him most, "Aye, are you going home for Christmas this year?"

His words reminded Qiao Ye that it was Christmas again.

She looked out the window and murmured, "It didn't snow this Christmas."

"Yes."

"Let's not go back. If I can resolve Qiao Yang's issue before the New Year, I'll be considered very capable."

Although she said this jokingly, the other two knew she was not joking.

After all, she changed the way she addressed him from "father" to "Qiao Yang" with his full name.

"Then your mother..."

"Her best friends are all in Beijing. I went back last year and persuaded her to move there too, so she shouldn't be short of good friends."

It was not until then that He Shanyi realized that Qiao had already made plans for today's events a long time in advance.

"Okay. Then I understand." He Shan nodded.
