Chapter 843: A Friendly First Meeting
Gao Jun finally fell asleep in doubt, and he had to hurry up to recover his mental and physical strength to deal with the surprise attack that could occur at any time.
Wu Xiaoyi's identity as a lieutenant colonel had a great shock and deterrent effect on the fat and thin two, and both of them looked at him timidly.
This comes from the idea of the official standard that has been forcibly instilled in people's bones in the culture of our dynasty for thousands of years.
In ancient times, officials were distinguished from the common people at the senior grass-roots level, and the scholars were the main ones in the agriculture and industry and commerce, and they pointed out the country, stirred up words, and instilled in the people through education the idea of taking officials as the foundation, taking officials as nobles, and respecting officials.
Today, this kind of thinking still exists, in some areas, even more so than in ancient times.
Just like not long ago, a parent of a primary school student and the homeroom teacher chatted records, after the parent greeted the teacher, he immediately listed the various positions of himself and his family members, he is the deputy chief clerk of the tourism department, her husband is the chief of the comprehensive section of the court enforcement bureau, his father is the procuratorate of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, his father's former colleague is now a member of the Standing Committee in charge of education, and the leader in charge of the education department is his cousin-in-law, etc......
After saying this, the ultimate goal is to ask teachers to take more care of their children, and the real intention is nothing more than to ask teachers to treat their children differently.
This is a typical official-based thinking, I used to only hear that there was a program with the name of the dish in the cross talk, but in real life, there was an official name......
Just like at this time, Wu Xiaoyi sat next to Gao Jun, and the fat and thin two sat on the bed opposite, like a teacher coming to check on the bed, honestly not daring to glance at it, and not even daring to look at Wu Xiaoyi.
Moreover, they also know in their hearts that the inspection team of our DPRK is indeed composed of personnel drawn from many departments, and this is for the sake of secrecy and interest involvement, so it is not surprising that there are personnel from the General Armament Department and the state security department.
Fortunately, one of them said good things about Tu Qiang, and even more fortunately, they got acquainted with these two people on the train, otherwise they would have unimaginable consequences if they were allowed to investigate on their own.
At present, some people with power in their hands are the most unable to withstand investigation, and if there are ten or ten problems, they will implicate the other ten, or even dozens of related households.
The enemy did not attack again for the rest of the journey, which was due to the deterrent power of the high monarch.
But sooner or later, the train will reach the end, and the down-to-earth battle seems to have lost the limitations of the train, but Gao Jun is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and the advantage is still in the hands of the other party, so he can only expect special changes.
For example, Tu Qiang!
insisted for a few more hours, the fat man really couldn't help but want to go to the toilet, and he was afraid that Wu Xiaoyi would be suspicious, so he didn't dare to move.
"Little sister, I want to go conveniently. The fat man said with an embarrassed face.
"Go ahead, you don't have to ask me, right?" Wu Xiaoyi smiled: "You won't still be entangled in my previous warning, I'm sorry, I'm too nervous, I'm actually willing to believe you, you are friends." ”
"Yes, yes, friends, we are friends. The thin man hurriedly spoke, and winked at the fat man.
The fat man couldn't wait to rush out and urgently reported to Tu Qiang.
The train is about to enter the station, Gao Jun also woke up slowly, and his spirit has recovered a lot, Wu Xiaoyi is always on the side, waiting undressed, covering the quilt to wipe his sweat, and moistening Gao Jun's chapped lips with a cotton swab dipped in water from time to time, considerate and thoughtful.
She herself was actually very tired, but when she saw Gao Jun waking up and smiling at her, she suddenly felt tired, and everything she did was worth it.
The train entered the station, and the fat man also came back, and brought back a woolen hat for Gao Jun, because his forehead was injured, and it was freezing outside, so the hat prevented Gao Jun's wound from being frozen by the wind.
Gao Jun was surprised and delighted, revealed his true feelings, and patted the fat man's shoulder and thanked him again and again.
At this time, Gao Jun and the others no longer said anything about returning to their hometown for the New Year, but they did not admit that they came to investigate the Quartet, and the fat man and the thin man naturally did not explain.
This made the fat man and the thin man very happy, they thought that in the hearts of Gao Jun and Wu Xiaoyi, they were just the village security director and the officer of the township armed forces, and they were grassroots workers, and they did not regard them as accomplices of the township bandits and village tyrants.
Moreover, the hat that the fat man found made Gao Jun's favorability towards them significantly upgraded, which gave them more room to operate.
The train stopped, and the three men had no luggage, only Wu Xiaoyi had a small bag, and Gao Jun helped her hold it.
As soon as I got into a carriage, a cold wind suddenly whistled, and there was a temperature difference of at least ten degrees from the capital, and there were snowflakes in the sky.
Wu Xiaoyi shrunk her neck, but she felt very excited, this was her first time in the north, and she immediately felt the cold, saw the snow, and appreciated the scenery of the north, it was really as written in Taizu's poems, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.
The emotions of the fat and thin two who returned to their homeland were also excited, and their enthusiasm was doubled, pulling Gao Jun and the two of them, saying that they would make arrangements for the east, and that they would have to make all-inclusive accommodation and food, and if they didn't say a word, they just looked down on them.
Northerners have always been known for their heroism and hospitality, and they don't know when they started, and they were hacked by some malicious regions, and they used some individual events such as 'what are you worried about, look at you', etc., to scandalize the people and culture of the entire north.
By artificially creating divisions, it reflects the superiority of other places, and even the aborigines of a certain province and city believe that in addition to them, all other places are considered northern, which also highlights their superiority and distinctiveness.
After leaving the station, the fat man ran forward enthusiastically, and soon called a taxi, and it was a young female driver, who called the thin cousin as soon as they met.
Of course, Gao Jun knew that this was all arranged by them in advance, but he still pretended to be stupid and pretended to be surprised.
The time is already more than nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock, for this small county town in a remote area, has entered a dormant state, the street is empty, only large snowflakes in the street lamp, one after another sprinkled, there is a quiet beauty.
"I drank too much at noon and didn't eat at night, so let's find a place to eat some hot food. The fat man patted his fat belly and suggested, and the thin man immediately seconded it.
Gao Jun and the two were naturally casual guests, and the driver's cousin responded crisply, and pulled everyone to the only four-star hotel in the county.
"This is too extravagant, isn't it, isn't there a small porridge house or noodle restaurant that is still in business?" Gao Jun immediately put on a embarrassed expression, public officials do not eat invitations, this is clearly stipulated.
"This is really not, now there are basically holidays during the Chinese New Year, even in normal times, our small county, there is no place to consume at this time, and the people are simple. The thin man said with a smile, still not forgetting to put gold on his face.
"Alright then, let's just have a bite to eat. Gao Jun said helplessly.
However, I can only eat a simple bit, and the service staff on duty came to inform me that the chefs have already left work, and there are only some pastries that are cold.
Hearing this, the thin man immediately became angry: "It's over when you get off work? Don't you have people on duty in such a big hotel? If you don't have a chef on duty, what are you saying that it's open 24 hours a day?"
This is obviously a strong word, people are open 24 hours a day is the housekeeping department, the restaurant will close at half past nine, there is actually a sign at the door clearly written business hours.
But in order to let Gao Jun and Wu Xiaoyi feel his enthusiasm, the thin man did not forgive, and must ask the other party to find the cook back, otherwise he would complain about their false operation, saying that he was twenty-four hours a day, but he did not provide the corresponding service.
The waiter was very embarrassed, the two sides were deadlocked, at this moment, the door of a private room next to it opened, and several people came out, both men and women, the leader of which was a middle-aged man, medium height, with a small flat head, a thin long coat face, eyebrows and small eyes, at first glance it looked particularly like the young Qianlong Emperor in the palace portrait.
"Yo, isn't this the township secretary Wang, Director Li of Gaozhuang, what's the matter?" The little flat-headed man walked over and called out the positions of the fat and thin two as soon as they met.
The fat and thin two also stood up in surprise and said, "Secretary Tu, I didn't expect to meet here, we wanted to have a meal here, but the chef got off work, just kidding, the chef in a big hotel open 24 hours is actually off work." ”
"Hey, people are open 24 hours a day and say that they are staying in the room, and the door doesn't say that the restaurant is open until half past nine, you are a bit unreasonable. Secretary Tu smiled and criticized in a joking tone.
The thin man immediately changed his amiable face and apologized to the waiter: "I'm sorry, little girl, it's me who is too emotional, but my friend was injured and didn't eat dinner, and his body can't bear it, so I'm in a hurry, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
The waiter will naturally not be surprised, this is the officer, the director, and the secretary, for the small people, it seems that they are all big people, so they naturally will not provoke such people.
"Why did you come to dinner so late?" asked Secretary Tu.
The thin man said helplessly: "Didn't you just get off the train, I'm hungry, it's cold, and I want to eat some hot food as soon as possible." ”
"It's true, everyone wants to have a hot meal. Secretary Tu said: "It's better to meet by chance, we came at nine twenty, the chef made us a hearty meal before getting off work, and we haven't eaten much, if you don't dislike it, let's go together." ”
Gao Jun always watched them act expressionlessly, in fact, all this was arranged by them, he knew it, but watching others pretend to be confused, it felt like watching a drama, which was quite fun.
Moreover, this Secretary Tu actually appeared in person, obviously attaching great importance to the identity of the advance team of their inspection team, and was ready to do everything he could.
And Gao Jun really wants to experience the feeling of being corrupted and co-opted, how irresistible it is, in addition, since this Secretary Tu is known as the emperor here and has a huge power, maybe he may help deal with the supernatural killers hidden in the shadows, at least let them eat dogs.
