Chapter 29: Rival in Love

  Han Qin was about to respond to Song Wenfei's words, but found that Song Wenfei had already changed her expression. Although the small face still wore a smile, her eyes were already distant and rejecting!

  Zhang Xin looked carefully at the back, and immediately understood what was going on with Song Wenfei's instantaneous change in facial expression! This little girl has a subtle relationship with Han Qin, she is jealous!

  Smiling, Zhang Xin walked straight up to Song Wenfei and said, "Little Song, let's head home!"

  Song Wenfei was taken aback and said: "You... know me?"

  Zhang Xin smiled and said, "I used to live in this courtyard too, you don't remember me, but I know the great talented girl. You are Director Song's daughter, Wenfei, right? Xiaohan and I were visiting Secretary Huang's home and waiting for a car here, so thank you for bringing one over!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Xin casually waved her hand and got into the taxi by herself!

  After listening to Zhang Xin's explanation, Song Wenfei's face finally eased up. Thinking carefully, she did have some impression of this woman, maybe they had lived in the same compound before. Since she was a colleague of Han Qin's, why did she inexplicably... Maybe every girl in love would feel this way!

  Han Qin smiled and said: "I'm here with Zhang Jie visiting our old leader, you're living here too?"

  Song Wenfei nodded, paused for a moment, and said lightly: "I was just about to call you. Didn't you used to work at the antique market? The editor-in-chief of the newspaper arranged for me to write a series of articles on collecting. Can you accompany me to the antique market on Sunday?"

  "Of course!" Perhaps Han Qin didn't even think before saying this.

  "Alright, let's meet at the market entrance on Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, no matter what." Song Wenfei said softly, looking at Han Qin.

  "Alright!" Han Qin replied, still wanting to drag it out a bit longer.

  Song Wenfei smiled and said, "Let's go quickly, they're still waiting in the car!"

  Han Qin got into the taxi, Zhang Xin smiled and looked at Han Qin, asking: "Is this beauty your girlfriend?"

  When Zhang Xin asked this, Han Qin suddenly remembered that he had said he didn't have a girlfriend just a few days ago. He couldn't admit it so quickly! Apologetically, he said: "No, I met her by chance, she's a reporter for the Oriental Evening Post."

  Zhang Xing smiled and said: "Don't deceive me, I'm a woman, such things can't escape my eyes. As soon as she saw us standing together, she became jealous!"

  Seeing Han Qin lost in thought, Zhang Xin said: "Young man, you should cherish the opportunity. There are a string of pursuers behind such a girl. Not to mention this beautiful and clever girl... her father is who you wouldn't know, right?"

  Zhang Xin saw Han Qin shake his head and exclaimed, "You really don't know! You ignored such important information, I'm impressed! Song Wenfei's father is Song Guangjun, the director of the municipal party committee organization department."

  Han Qin didn't feel the slightest surprise, from the day he met Song Wenfei, from her temperament, clothing and belongings, Han Qin had already judged that this girl's family was absolutely not an ordinary household! The Minister of Organization, for those who are preparing to mix in official circles, is indeed very attractive!

  On Sunday morning, Han Qin arrived at the entrance of the antique market twenty minutes in advance. Since he started taking the civil service exam, Han Qin had quit his part-time job here to focus on studying, and coming back again really gave him a kind of long-lost intimacy!

  Before nine o'clock, Song Wenfei also arrived by taxi. It seemed that she had just taken a bath before leaving the house, feeling refreshed and clean, like a lotus flower in the water! As she walked up to him, her faint body fragrance was refreshing and made his heart feel at ease, with an indescribable sense of comfort.

  Song Wenfei smiled and said: "Han Qin, sorry, I disturbed your rest on Sunday!"

  Han Qin said seriously: "Being able to serve a great journalist is a rare honor!"

  Song Wenfei frowned and scolded: "You've also learned to be a smart mouth!"

  It was probably her first time at this market, and as soon as she entered, she saw a dazzling array of handicrafts. Song Wanfei felt a bit dizzy, and if it weren't for Han Qin guiding her, she really wouldn't have known where to start with the interview!

  After circling around the stalls under the big shed, Song Wenfei suggested going into the store to take a look. Han Qin thought for a moment and then took Song Wenfei to Wang Laoban's Xinyuanzhai store.

  As soon as he saw Han Qin coming in, Boss Wang said warmly: "Little Han, I heard you passed the civil service exam, which department are you assigned to?"

  Han Qin laughed and said: "In the municipal government's old cadre department, I deal with a group of old men and women all day. Boss Wang, don't you think I have a fate with antiques?"

  When Wang Boss heard Han Qin say this, he also burst out laughing. After finishing his laughter, Wang Boss saw a exceptionally beautiful girl following behind Han Qin and couldn't help but ask: "Little Han, who is this young lady?"

  When Mr. Wang asked, Han Qin was afraid that he would say something like "girlfriend" and thought it unnecessary to show off in this situation. So he quickly introduced: "This is a friend of mine who works at the newspaper office and wants to write an article about antique collecting. I don't know if Mr. Wang is available?"

  Is this a reporter's interview? This is the first time in Wang Boss's life. Wang Boss didn't think about it at all and readily agreed.

  Song Wenfei smiled and said: "Then thank you, Mr. Wang. If it's inconvenient for you to reveal your true identity information, we can keep it confidential for you and use a pseudonym!"

  Mr. Wang is indeed a veteran of the business world, and when it comes to collecting antiques, he has a set of rules to follow. Song Wenfei turned on her recorder and occasionally jotted down notes on her interview sheet.

  As they came out of the antique shop, Han Qin and Song Wenfei were discussing whether they would meet a trap-setting customer today, but unexpectedly bumped into Yang Feng from the municipal government! Yang Feng had just come out of a nearby store, holding a box containing antiques.

  Han Qin first greeted Yang Feng: "Secretary Yang, are you here to buy antiques?"

  It was unexpected that Yang Feng seemed to be unaware of Han Qin, dazed and a little stunned, the enthusiasm and confidence that had been on his face every day were nowhere to be seen! This expression flashed across Yang Feng's face in an instant! Deputy Secretary Yang often said that in order to achieve something in the officialdom, one must not show joy or anger on one's face, this is the most basic skill! However, at this moment, Secretary Yang obviously had not reached this level of cultivation, and in the face of such a sudden situation, he still revealed his true feelings!

  Yang Feng smiled and said: "I'm buying a craft to give to a friend." He then looked at Song Wenfei with a complex expression and said gloomily: "Wenfei, why are you also here?"

  Song Wenfei simply said: "I'm here for an interview. Are you buying something?" After finishing, Song Wenfei pulled on Han Qin's sleeve and said to Yang Feng: "We'll leave first, see you later!"

  At first, Han Qin found it a bit strange that Yang Feng knew Song Wenfei. But then he thought about it and realized that their dads were the Minister of Organization and the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, respectively - it would be weird if they didn't know each other!

  Watching Han Qin and Song Wenfei's receding back view, Yang Feng's originally pale face turned even paler! He had always thought that his relationship with Song Wenfei could be described as childhood sweethearts, after all, from kindergarten to high school graduation, they were classmates.

  For this elegant and refined girl, from the time Yang Feng started to appreciate girls, he had already decided that Song Wenfei would be his future wife! They are a perfect match, with the boy's talent and the girl's beauty, hand in hand walking towards the red carpet, it's just a matter of time!

  After being admitted to Peking University, Yang Feng began his ardent pursuit of Song Wenfei! However, this arrogant young master unfortunately discovered that he was just infatuated with her and she didn't have any feelings for him!

  Yang Feng was so angry that he wanted to pounce on Han Qin and bite him! During the civil service exam, Yang Feng thought that with his own talent, he could definitely get the first place in the whole city. Unexpectedly, Han Qin took the championship. Yang Feng had someone privately investigate Han Qin's background, a child from a lower-class family, a graduate of the History Department of Dongda University, very ordinary and unremarkable. It was this kind of person who had now taken away the girl he had been dreaming of!

  As they turned a corner, Song Wenfei gave Han Qin a meaningful look. From Yang Feng's expression, Song Wenfei had already seen the turmoil in his heart. In many people's eyes, Yang Feng was excellent, whether in appearance or talent. However, after years of contact, Song Wenfei naturally also understood him - this person was too calculating and could become a capable official, but he wasn't her ideal lover; being with him was too exhausting!

  Han Qin still didn't know, but unintentionally, he had already become Yang Feng's love rival!
