In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Upon hearing this, Guo Hu and Liu Fei were taken aback, but then neither of them pressed for an explanation as to why they had broken up.

Because it is not needed.

Judging from Chen Jingcheng's dejected look, it was clear that the breakup wasn't initiated by him; it could only have been Wang Yueyue.

Wang Yueyue's family looks down on Chen Jingcheng. If Wang Yueyue really showed that she was very determined to be with Chen Jingcheng, that would be fine. But the problem is that they have met Wang Yueyue and have not found that her feelings for Chen Jingcheng are very strong.

Guo Hu patted Chen Jingcheng on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "If you want to break up, then break up. A real man doesn't have to worry about not having a wife. What's wrong with you, Chen Jingcheng? You are clearly a one-in-a-million talent. Wang Yueyue's family is blind."

"It's alright, Jingcheng. Out with the old, in with the new."

"I'll introduce you to someone even better later."

Liu Fei frowned and said, "Jing Cheng, it's just a breakup."

"We brothers will one day make a name for ourselves and achieve great success."

"Let's go have a drink."

Having said that, Chen Jingcheng wasn't particularly unhappy.

In fact, he was indeed sad, but not heartbroken.

After graduation, Wang Yueyue was initially very enthusiastic towards him, but gradually, as Wang Yueyue had more and more contact with her family, and as Chen Jingcheng went to work in a rural town, they saw each other less and less, and their relationship had undergone a complete transformation.

This change is subtle and gradual, yet perceptible to people.

Even if we can't reach this step today, we will reach it sooner or later.

So Chen Jingcheng was actually mentally prepared, but he was still a little sad.

Seeing Guo Hu and Liu Fei comforting him, Chen Jingcheng smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, it's pointless. Let's go drink."

Guo Hu and Liu Fei knew Chen Jingcheng well, so although they knew Chen Jingcheng was still a little sad, they could also tell that although Chen Jingcheng was sad, it wasn't the kind of sadness that he couldn't get over, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it was at this moment that Guo Hu noticed Liu Fei's injuries. He immediately grabbed Liu Fei's arm and asked in a deep voice, "Fei, what happened to your injuries?"

"That's why I heard you saying those things just now. What happened? Who hit you?"

Liu Fei was no match for Guo Hu's strength, and he could no longer hide the truth. He could only helplessly say, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. You're making a big fuss over nothing."

"Let's eat first, and talk while we eat."

At this moment, Chen Jingcheng said to Guo Hu, "Brother Hu, listen to Afei, let's eat first. He'll tell us what happened."

Guo Hu's face was extremely gloomy at this moment. Today was supposed to be a happy day for them to reunite, but he did not expect that Chen Jingcheng would be dumped and Liu Fei would be beaten up. If he were to tell his own troubles, wouldn't the three of them be in the same boat?

This made Guo Hu extremely uncomfortable.

Why are they having such a miserable life?

The three of them temporarily put aside their other thoughts, sat around the small square wooden table, and began to eat, with beer and liquor constantly entering their mouths.

Guo Hu, however, couldn't forget Liu Fei's injuries and asked about them again.

Liu Fei was silent for a moment, then poured himself a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor), downed it in one gulp, and said through gritted teeth, "It was that bastard who did it!"

"Bie San" is not an insult, but a nickname for a person in Linchuan County.

One, a big thug.

A thug who can summon a hundred or so men at any time and is capable of doing all sorts of bad things.

In Linchuan County, the name "scoundrel" is quite well-known.

Similarly, few people dare to mess with a scoundrel.

Although Liu Fei can be impulsive at times, Guo Hu and Chen Jingcheng both know very well that Liu Fei would never provoke a scoundrel unless absolutely necessary, especially now that he is older and more thoughtful, he is no longer the impulsive person he once was.

Therefore, if it was a scoundrel who beat up Liu Fei, then it must have been the scoundrel who deliberately provoked the fight.

Guo Hu gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.

"This scoundrel, does he really think we can't mess with him? Does he really think he can act with impunity?"

"Damn it, I'll handcuff him tomorrow, and if that doesn't work, I'll go deal with him in plain clothes!"

Guo Hu's strength is indeed sufficient to do so, but the problem is that while Guo Hu could easily take on ten or even twenty people, the problem is that Bie San has many men under his command. In the end, two fists will still be no match for four hands. In addition, those people are capable of anything. If it comes to a head-on confrontation, they are not involved in shady dealings and may not be a match for him.

As for the matter of arresting him, if it were possible, that scoundrel would have been arrested long ago. The reason he hasn't been arrested is either because he has powerful backers, or because of issues with evidence, plus someone else taking the blame.

Chen Jingcheng frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and shook his head gently as he looked at Guo Hu's angry expression.

"Tiger, don't be impulsive. Let Fei finish what he has to say and see what happened."

Upon hearing this, Guo Hu said in a deep voice, "Alright, Fei, tell us the whole story and let us see what really happened."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fei sighed, thought for a moment, and then told Guo Hu and Chen Jingcheng about the situation.

It turned out that Liu Fei was working with his uncle on a construction site in the county town. Of course, the construction site was not contracted by his uncle. If he were really capable of contracting a construction site, he would have been rich long ago.

However, his uncle had been working in the industry for many years and knew many workers. So this time, he was only a small contractor on the construction site, taking on a very small part of the project. But this had already put all of his uncle's savings into it.

Everything was fine at first; a little hardship and fatigue were nothing. However, just a few days ago, the construction workers insisted on kicking them out because their work was substandard, and they didn't intend to refund the money they had advanced. This is outrageous bullying.

After working so hard for so long and putting all my savings into it, I was just kicked out like that. Who could stand that?

Then came the discussion, which resulted in a group of scoundrels rushing over and causing a ruckus. To date, his uncle and more than a dozen others have been injured to varying degrees.

It took Liu Fei several days to recover before he was barely presentable.

As soon as he said those words, Guo Hu couldn't hold back anymore.

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"This lawless scoundrel is asking for it!"

"No, this can't be left like this. Afei, go call the police. I'll handle everything else. I refuse to believe there's no law in Linchuan County!"

However, at this moment, a hint of helplessness flashed in Liu Fei's eyes, and he said with a sigh, "Calling the police is useless. That scoundrel is someone the construction site boss keeps. If you knew who the construction site boss is behind, you would know that perhaps in Linchuan County, they really are the law."

Upon hearing this, Guo Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it? Who's so powerful? I don't believe a construction site boss can really control everything!"
