Cao Yajun, standing next to him, also looked at the plate in his hand with disgust, placed it directly on the table, and had no intention of eating it.
Xu Xiangyang noticed that his plate contained lamb ribs, which had a lot of fat, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat any?"
How can you not eat such delicious lamb chops? That's such a waste of food!
Cao Yajun nodded. "The meat is too fatty; I don't like it."
He doesn't like to eat fatty meat, especially the kind of fatty meat that's hard to pick out, where it's all stuck together and even if you manage to pick it out, there's not much meat left.
Xu Xiangyang immediately picked up his plate of meat and said, "I like this kind. I haven't touched mine. You can eat it."
His plate contained lamb leg meat, all lean meat.
Cao Yajun hesitated for a moment, thinking that Xu Xiangyang had deliberately suggested changing the food because he didn't like it.
But when he saw Xu Xiangyang eating so heartily...
If you don't like it, you probably wouldn't be able to tell from that expression, right?
He felt relieved, and then picked up the lamb leg to eat with a clear conscience, as long as he didn't force himself to eat it.
Although he likes to eat lean meat, he won't force others to eat it.
Xu Xiangyang ate the freshly cooked mutton. It was so delicious that the oil sizzled as he bit into it!
"Another beer would make it perfect." He smacked his lips and then stuffed the last piece of lamb into his mouth.
His words made Cao Yajun stop eating meat, turn his head and whisper, "It's best not to drink in a place like this, it's easy to get into trouble."
Cao Yajun spoke much more today, and each time it was a warning.
Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, his eyes full of doubt.
Although he didn't know why this place was so dangerous, he decided to be cautious, thinking it couldn't hurt.
At this moment, Liu Feng walked over with the man from before, heading straight towards them.
Xu Xiangyang became wary and took a step back, standing exactly one step behind Cao Yajun.
Cao Yajun naturally noticed his actions, but didn't say anything, because the person in front of him had already walked over.
It's too late to say anything now; all we can do is appease the person in front of us.
"Secretary Cao, why did you run off here to find some peace and quiet?" The man smiled and offered him a cigarette.
Cao Yajun took it, then tucked it behind his ear, and said, "Isn't it great that there are so many people here? There's food and drink to eat and drink."
"Who is this?" He looked at Xu Xiangyang behind Cao Yajun. He had noticed that this person had been following Cao Yajun. Could he be the son of some high-ranking official?
Liu Feng immediately jumped out and said, "This is our driver from the grain bureau. We're on good terms, so I brought him out to have some fun. Don't let his status as a driver fool you; he's quite good at cards."
Oh ho?!
Xu Xiangyang really wanted to tear his mouth apart. He knew that everyone in this room was probably a high-ranking official's son or daughter, and only Wu Hao and his friends were likely interested in playing cards.
As for others, they probably find these gambling addicts quite disgusting.
Sure enough, the man wore a perfunctory expression and didn't want to look at Xu Xiangyang again.
Especially since he was a driver, and not the son of a high-ranking official, he had even less interest.
Don't even mention that Xu Xiangyang is the son of a high-ranking official; I only came to check on him because I saw that he was getting quite close to Secretary Cao.
What's the point of even looking at this product if it's just like this?
A hint of triumph flashed in Liu Feng's eyes, and then he smiled and said to Xu Xiangyang, "Xu Xiangyang, this is Ma Xinping, the son of a high-ranking city official."
A high-ranking city official?!
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the two of them in surprise. No wonder these people fawned over Ma Xinping; it was because he was the son of a high-ranking city official.
"My apologies, my name is Xu Xiangyang. I am nothing compared to Comrade Ma. It is a pleasure to meet you today."
Xu Xiangyang bowed modestly, then compared himself to nothing.
This series of actions left not only Ma Xinping stunned, but also the other two.
Liu Feng really didn't expect that he would be so cowardly.
"Okay, I'll just grab something to eat and then go check things out over there." Ma Xinping's expression clearly softened, and he turned and went elsewhere.
Liu Feng looked unwell. He had originally intended for Ma Xinping to make a bad impression, but the result was not what he wanted.
Cao Yajun looked at Xu Xiangyang and realized that this man was no ordinary person.
Judging from Ma Xinping's disdainful attitude just now, no one would feel comfortable if they were in his shoes.
If it were someone else, upon hearing the name of a high-ranking city official, they would probably just offer a frightened compliment.
But Xu Xiangyang was different. He had just acted as if he was flattered and didn't notice the other person's disdain for him at all.
It's impossible not to see it; such an obvious attitude is something even a child could understand.
It must be said that Xu Xiangyang is a talented person, and also a very shrewd one.
Xu Xiangyang didn't care what others thought of him. When he was weak and encountered someone stronger than himself, any dignity or face was worthless.
Therefore, he didn't care about Ma Xinping's disdain for him, nor did he care about his own pride.
Is he going to beat up Ma Xinping? Unless he doesn't want to stay in Xincheng anymore.
Once you become powerful, everyone will have to kneel down and act like a grandson in front of you.
Therefore, what Xu Xiangyang cares about is the future. These people are powerful now, but who knows what will happen in the future?
Liu Feng glanced at him, then turned and went to find Ma Xinping. He was lucky this time.
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes. This guy really wanted to cause trouble for him.
This time, he actually used the son of a high-ranking city official to pressure him, probably hoping to offend the official and then get punished.
However, he was quite grateful to Liu Feng for bringing him here and letting him eat and drink for free.
Cao Yajun never expected that his feud with Liu Feng was so deep; anyone with eyes could see what was going on.
"Comrade Xu, it seems you have a deep grudge against him. You'd better be careful," he warned.
In fact, he usually never gives reminders to others, especially to people he has only met two or three times.
In his position, there's practically no one he needs to curry favor with.
However, Cao Yajun often heard Shen Fangjun mention Xu Xiangyang, saying that he had helped Shen Fangjun, and not just once.
In that case, it wouldn't hurt to give a reminder.
Besides, he didn't know Xu Xiangyang at that time, let alone Shen Fangjun, so there was no other meaning behind it.
Xu Xiangyang was very grateful that he had spoken up to remind him, as not everyone could do this.
He nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Jun. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know. I'll definitely help without hesitation!"
Such people are extremely rare, especially since she is the secretary of a high-ranking leader; this is a sign of respect for you.
Xu Xiangyang wouldn't refuse someone's kindness. If he were to agree on the surface but not listen behind their back, wouldn't he be a fool?
He was well aware of the situation and would never allow himself to suffer a major loss.
