Xiao Qiudong wasn't pleased with what he had just heard, and it showed on his face. Seeing his reaction, Xiao Ping smiled awkwardly and immediately tried to salvage the situation. "But of course, Dong Dong over here is also a very outstanding man. He's an engineer and married a lady from Taiwan. He's well known in all the nearby villages," he said.
"Who are you calling Dong Dong? What are you implying? Are you saying my neck is short? From now on, address me by my name: Xiao Qiudong. Call me Dong Dong again, and I'll not give you face!" Xiao Qiudong rebuked Xiao Ping soundly.
Xiao Ping was startled, but all he could do was offer a conciliatory smile, and repeatedly nod his head and bow to Xiao Qiudong. "Oh, okay, okay."
