GREATEST MASTER

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

Feifei leaned his back at the door, hand in his chest.

His heart beating loudly, deafening his ears.

He did it tonight.

He did what he wanted to do.

He tasted him. And he loved it.

He can feel butterflies in his belly, fluttering. His lips widened into a smile.

He really likes him.

What to do?

Pulling himself together, he breathed deeply and exhaled. Walking towards the boxes on the bench, he began untying the rope.

The first thing he saw was a bag bulging with something.

This must be what Yuan was referring to.

Picking the bag, he was surprised it was quite heavy. Opening it, he saw five big stones. Maybe as big as a large man's fist. Definitely bigger than his palm.

Feifei : ??????

Is there a mistake? He wondered.

He took the stones and left it on the small table.

Walking to the eating area, he starts cleaning up the dirty dishes, stacking them together on the tray. Then he went to the kitchens to wash them.

He completely smothered the fire from the stove and transferred the boiled water to a pitcher. He also filled a cup of boiling water and put a spoon of honey on it. Leaving it on the working table first.

He came back to the main house to get the pot of spicy pork soup but left the cake on the table. Then went back again to the kitchens.

When everything was spic and span, he turned off the oil lamp, took the cup of honey water and locked the kitchens. He walked to the main house.

-----------------------------------------

At the main house, he took the lamp on the eating area and went up.

Inside the room, he placed the cup of honey water and oil lamp on the bedside table.

When he was about to shut the door close, he noticed a light shining from the stairs.

He had goosebumps.

His hair stood up in fright!

Where did that light come from?!!

With his heart in his throat, he shakingly walked closer to the stairs and looked down below.

Its so bright!

Walking down, he saw that the light came from the small table in the common area.

Getting closer, he knew then.

This is what Yuan meant.

His heart fluttered with sweetness.

So this is his gift.

He smiled.

He took the big light stones then brought it up.

-----------------------------------------

"How many cases are there?" Feifei honestly think these people are intentionally bringing trouble to him.

When he arrived at the mine earlier, before he even took a second breath, Neng Shi, from Storage & Distribution met her at the door building.

There were a couple of diggers who collapsed yesterday. Earlier, there was even a scuffle at the Crushers building.

"In the scuffle, a man died. Three injured. On the diggers side, instead of eighty heads, we counted sixty-eight. Twelve missing. The head digger said eight collapsed yesterday, the others have trouble breathing." Neng Shi reported.

"Has this been documented and reported to the intended people that needs to be aware of this situation?"

"I reported it to you." The woman retorted impatiently.

A few workers stopped and stared at them with interest.

"Verbal dissemination of information is useless. It doesn't hold anything. I say, you did not report anything to me. Others heard about your dereliction of duty and passed it on to others. You then come to me and confront me about it. But can you do anything to me?" Feifei raised an eyebrow at the woman.

"NO. Of course you cannot. Because you don't have irrefutable evidence that the gossip came from me. Peoples heart change. Do you think they will help you fight against me or keep silent to protect themselves?"

"This is what documentation does. So what if you come from Storage and Distribution? Does this mean you don't record anything, don't document anything? Just merely reporting it? Is it because only Documentations write things down? I'm not my cousin Shen. I don't even tolerate a tiny speck of dust in my eyes. How much do you think can I tolerate irresponsible people?"

"But you are the Assistant Chief who handles this kind of situation! I only deal with Storage and Distribution!" Neng Shi roared, agitated.

At this moment, many people gathered close to enjoy the show.

Feifei's face darkened and stared coldy at Neng Shi. "You are neither at your home nor at the fair. Neng Shi, this is a place of work. Not a place for you to throw your weight around! I'm not someone whom you can scare just by shouting. You only make me feel disgust with such behavior. We are looking for workers here. Not a shrew!"

Many workers laughed.

Neng Shi's face turned red with shame and anger.

"This is clearly your job! Just because you are the neice of the Head Chief doesn't mean you can just toss your job to others! If you don't know what to do with your work, give it to others who can! Don't pretend to be someone great!" She shouted furiously, spittles flying everywhere.

Feifei was scared to jump back. "Let's talk peacefully, okay? You don't need to drown me with your disgusting spit! It smells like your eating trash. Oh...oh! So that's why you are speaking trash. Its what your foul mouth eats." Feifei whispered loudly.

People laughed at Neng Shi again. Some were pointing at her, covering their nose. Some kept their distance from her.

Feifei sighed getting impatient. He has a lot of things to do and he has no time to spare with this foul woman!

"So what do you usually do in these cases?" Feifei walked around to his personal working table and took a cup from his bag.

Silence.

Feifei filled the cup from the water pitcher on the sides. Then faced the silent woman in front of him.

"Nothing." Neng Shi said, gritting her teeth in anger.

Feifei's face blackened.

"If you have been here for a much longer period of time and you do nothing, what do you want me, a new comer, to do? Grab someone from the Village to replace the missing head count? Or do you want me to send you underground and do the quotas of the missing diggers?" Feifei impatiently retorted.

Feifei then waved his hand in contempt. "Write down what you said to me. Disseminate it to the involved head parties and have them sign it. Bring the signed papers to me. I will think of contingency plans for dealing with insufficient production and allocations."

Feifei then looked at the laid-back, people loitering around. "People under the account of Transport, give me a letter of explanation on your work description. I want it tomorrow morning on my worktable. I want to draw a clear line where your duty starts and where your responsibility ends."

-----------------------------------------

Head Wen Qi who was listening outside the door was impressed by Feifei's show of authority.

He came running here afraid Feifei will be in bullied.

But it seems like my neice is a master bully herself. Head Wen Qi chuckled.

He knows the attitude of the workers under him. He knows they are dissatisfied and unconvinced of his choice on Shen's replacement.

But it seems like this young girl is even more competent than Shen.

-----------------------------------------

These troublemakers! They want to see him cry, don't they? Feifei snorted in disgust.

At a young age, staying with his Master, learning from his Master, he knows a lot of things. Experienced a lot of things.

His Master is a very knowledgeable and learned person. He taught him every practical and theoretical things that he knows.

His Master is not a simple person.

In fact, he is the most cunning and most respectable person that Feifei admires greatly.

His Master brought him to different places, introduced him to many different faces. He opened his eyes to many possibilities and peculiarities. Showed him there are people outside of people.

He is taught by the best.

Molded by the best.

He really has the Greatest Master one can only hope for.
