Chapter 2054 A Little Friction

Zhao Qiuwei was not in a position to say anything to Liu Fusheng. At this moment, he stared at Zhao Qiu Ming, as if to say, you knew about this a long time ago, but why didn't you tell me in advance?

Zhao Qiu Ming grinned and said, "Brother, don't blame me. In fact, I have long disliked a cancer like Zeng Yunfei. Think about it, the last time the master celebrated his birthday, Zeng Yunfei was so arrogant. He openly shouted at you. I wanted to slap him at that time, but you stopped me! You have a big temper, but I hate him!"

Zhao Qiuwei frowned and said, "Okay, what's the point of bringing up the past? You won the military exercise in Dongrihe, so you have an easy life now? You didn't even lead the team, but secretly ran to Mingguang to help people hold up the scene?"

Zhao Qiuming smiled and said, "I'm not deserting my post. I just happened to be on vacation these two days. I wanted to pay a visit to Brigade Commander Xie. Anyway... by the way... uh, it just happened!"

Zhao Qiuwei took a deep breath and said, "You just happened to make me get kicked several times by the little gangster. What benefits did Liu Fusheng give you that made you even cheat your cousin?"

However, he could not ask these questions in front of Liu Fusheng. Since he had already boarded the pirate ship, there was no reason to turn back halfway.

Liu Fusheng, who was standing next to them, heard the conversation between the two and asked with interest, "What's the matter? Did Zeng Yunfei and Secretary Zhao have a conflict?"

Zhao Qiuwei didn't want to mention this matter, but Liu Fusheng asked, so he could only briefly say: "Master, it was your birthday, and Zeng Yunfei and I met once. There was no conflict, just a few verbal disputes."

Zhao Qiu Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, you just have a good temper. That's called a verbal dispute? Zeng Yunfei mocked the Dongfanghong tea you made as rubbish, but this is pointing at our noses and scolding the Zhao family, which is not okay!"

"The birthday gifts you gave to the master were all carefully selected. Just the tea picking process took you two days. Who is Zeng Yunfei? Is he qualified to comment on the Zhao family's tea?"

Zhao Qiuwei waved his hand and said, "Alright, the master has already made a conclusion on that matter. You don't need to defend me. We don't have much in common with Zeng Yunfei, so there's no need to make things difficult for the master."

The great master they were talking about was Xie Zhensheng, the eldest son of Xie Shuai and the current head of the Xie family.

Liu Fusheng was a little surprised that Zeng Yunfei dared to speak so arrogantly at Xie Zhensheng's birthday party. It seemed that his relationship with the Xie family was indeed extraordinary.

The vehicle moved forward and soon arrived in Haizhou.

On the way, Liu Fusheng had already called Xie Zehua. When they arrived at Xie's house, the door was wide open and the car was allowed to park directly in the yard.

Xie Zehua personally greeted the group.

After Liu Fusheng, Zhao Qiuwei and Zhao Qiuming got off the car, Xie Zehua came over and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, you have time? Welcome, welcome!"

Liu Fusheng and Xie Zehua exchanged a few polite words, and Zhao Qiuwei and Zhao Qiuming also greeted him respectively.

Liu Fusheng asked, "Is the master at home?"

Xie Zehua said, "Yes, I just told my uncle that Secretary Liu wants to see him. My uncle happens to be free today and is waiting for you in the living room making tea."

This was the second time Liu Fusheng walked into the Xie family's living room.

If Xie Shengchen and Xie Zhensheng had not helped him last time, Zhao Qiumin and Xie Zhenqi would probably have kicked him out.

Now after Dong Rihe's victory, Liu Fusheng's status in the eyes of the Xie family has obviously changed.

Xie Zhensheng shook hands with Liu Fusheng and said, "Xiao Liu is here, please sit down. I'll make you some tea and wait for you to taste it."

After saying this, he smiled at Zhao Qiuwei and Zhao Qiuming as a greeting.

Zhao Qiuwei was surprised to see Xie Zhensheng attach so much importance to Liu Fusheng. As a top figure in East Guangdong Province, he actually valued the secretary of Chaojiang City so much? Liu Fusheng's background was indeed not simple.

Liu Fusheng sat down and said to Xie Zhensheng, "I was too busy with work recently and didn't have time. Thank you for your help. The clan reform in Chaojiang area was very successful. In addition to the understanding and support of all comrades and clans, I would like to thank you and the Xie family for endorsing our reform."

As it is said, reform is far from as simple as imagined.

Everything was able to proceed smoothly, not only with the full cooperation of the Zhao family, Hong family, Li family and other clans, but the most important thing was that the Xie family spoke out and expressed their approval of the clan reform.

With this stabilizing force, other clans in the Chaojiang area did not have any delusions or even resist the government's decisions.

The Xie family is a big banner, and their attitude can represent the clan direction of the entire eastern Guangdong province.

Expressing approval was the Xie family's greatest support for Liu Fusheng's clan reform.

Xie Zhensheng smiled and said, "Secretary Liu's reform ideas are in line with the trend of the times and are conducive to local governance. Our Xie family will of course fully support things that benefit the country and the people."

Liu Fusheng said: "No matter what, I want to thank Mr. Da and the Xie family on behalf of all the people in Chaojiang area... In fact, I should have been here this morning, but there was a small incident on the way, and Secretary Zhao was injured, so I came late. I'm really sorry."

"Oh?"

Xie Zhensheng was a little surprised: "Secretary Zhao was injured? Is it serious? What happened?"

Zhao Qiuwei knew Liu Fusheng's tricks, so he said, "My injuries are not serious. I was just knocked to the ground and kicked a few times by a few scoundrels."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Xie Zhensheng and Xie Zehua all became serious.

Zhao Qiuwei is not only the patriarch of the Zhao family, but also the secretary of the Jiyang Municipal Party Committee.

A person of this status was actually knocked to the ground and kicked a few times? This is simply unbelievable! If it were reported in the newspaper, it would even cause a sensation across the country.

Zhao Qiuming, who was standing next to him, exaggerated and said, "Brother, just tell the truth to Mr. Da. If I hadn't brought people by at that time, you and Secretary Liu would probably have had to go to the hospital. I think those little bastards were pretty ruthless!"

Xie Zehua had already noticed that there were several footprints on Zhao Qiuwei's body, but due to considerations for the relationship, he had never dared to say anything.

At this time, he finally couldn't help asking: "Who dared to attack Secretary Zhao? Was it in our Haizhou territory?"

Zhao Qiuwei sighed and said nothing.

Liu Fusheng said: "It was in Mingguang City, which is under the jurisdiction of Haizhou City. We had a little friction with the locals."

Mingguang City?

Xie Zhensheng's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak immediately.

Xie Zehua asked: "Who beat Secretary Zhao? Has he been caught? This is simply lawless. They must be severely punished according to the law!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Qiuwei knew that Xie Zehua had fallen into a trap.

Because Liu Fusheng was waiting for these words.

Sure enough, Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "The person hasn't been caught yet."

Xie Zehua was slightly stunned: "Why? Wasn't Brigade Commander Zhao at the scene? He was accompanied by guards, so why didn't he arrest anyone?"

Zhao Qiu Ming scratched his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xie Zhensheng sighed and said, "The person who beat Secretary Zhao must be an acquaintance, right?"
