Chapter 645: Chapter 645 Nan Fei Jealous_1 Chapter 645: Chapter 645 Nan Fei Jealous_1 “Oh! Mom, why did you come to get us!” Nan Fei walks alongside Jiang Yang, carrying a bag on her back.
“I worried you had too much to carry.” Zhang Fengmei steps forward, taking Nan Fei’s bag from her. “How was your trip to the provincial city? Why didn’t you stay for a few more days?”
Zhuanzhuan giggles, “Mom, didn’t you say we should come back?”
“I….I was just making a suggestion.” Zhang Fengmei realizes she was teased by her younger daughter, adopts a feigned anger and retorts: “You little troublemaker, you did this on purpose, didn’t you!”
“No, no!” Zhuanzhuan, bag on her back, runs towards home, leaving the others behind.
“Nan Fei, you’re a big celebrity nowadays. Brace yourself for what awaits in the village.”
Despite preparing herself mentally, Nan Fei is surprised by the number of onlookers, even having grown up in the village. Ultimately, it’s Zhuanzhuan who saves the day by distributing the sweets Zhang Fengmei had prepared, allowing them to bask in her success and the crowd disperses.
By the time they reach home, Nan Fei is soaked in sweat.
“Goodness! Everyone was really excited.”
“They’re all happy for you.” Zhang Fengmei can’t stop smiling, “But why do I see no excitement on your face?”
“I did so well and studied so hard; it was only a matter of time before I topped the province. Why should I get excited?”
“Ha-ha… You go breathless as soon as you talk. You should be embarrassed! I wonder who taught you to be so thick-skinned.”
Of course it was Huo Beijiang! She had promised him she would call him when they parted yesterday night. On having that thought, Nan Fei bites her lip and hurries to her room where she dials the number Huo Beijiang had given her.
“Hello, this is the Headmaster’s office.”
A soft voice answers from the other end of the telephone, and without thinking, Nan Fei blurts out, “Who are you?” Immediately regretting her question.
Why did she ask? That was so irrational!
The person on the phone is also taken aback by Nan Fei’s question. This is the military headquarters line, not everyone can call. Even if a little displeased, she can’t offend someone without knowing who they are.
“Hello, I am the secretary of the Headmaster’s office.”
“Oh!” Nan Fei scoffs under her breath. Jealously churning within her like a broken vinegar jar.
Well done Huo Beijiang! As soon as you start claiming you love me and miss me, you hire a female secretary, aren’t you having a lovely time!
“Comrade!” Secretary Fan Wei vaguely senses Nan Fei’s displeasure. She thinks Nan Fei is being rude. This is the headmaster’s office, who does she think she is to act so pompous?!
Agitated, Fan Wei disconnects the call. She dislikes those who bully others. Wondering what this place has turned into. She’s never been courteous to such people. She fought hard to stand out and become the headmaster’s secretary, and she intends to hold this position firmly.
Nan Fei is taken aback. She is wondering if she was a bit rude. But any rudeness was aimed at Huo Beijiang, not her!
Are all secretaries this arrogant now?
Mulling over this, she reluctantly dials the number once more.
The call is quickly answered, “Hello, may I ask which unit you are calling from?”
