Before leaving, Wang Xiaosong hesitated again and again, but finally decided to tell Liang Baowei that the purpose of his trip was to visit experts and leaders from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other ministries.

Liang Baowei knew the relationship between Wang Xiaosong and Cao Long, although he had some pimples in his heart, he didn't show it. Instead, he carefully and thoughtfully packed his bags for Wang Xiaosong. Early the next morning, he personally sent Wang Xiaosong out.

Wang Xiaosong and Liang Bin took an early flight and landed at the capital airport at more than eleven o'clock. The two of them took a shuttle bus to the city, just in time for dinner.

"Let's eat first, lest people say we're here to eat." Liang Bin said with a bit of ridicule.

Wang Xiaosong also smiled: "The big leaders have already eaten at this time, so it's not appropriate for us to go now." Director Liang, let's go eat some local specialties, just the two of us, and be more comfortable. ”

Liang Bin nodded, and the two of them reached out and stopped a taxi. After getting into the car, Liang Bin reported the name of a place not far from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and there are many restaurants around, which is just right for them.

The capital is not unfamiliar to both of them, with boxy planning, wide straight streets, towering skyscrapers, and inadvertently, half of the blue brick and red walls emerging from the reinforced concrete jungle.

It's an ancient and modern city that is full of high spirits and retains an uplifting vitality as the heart of the country.

The two of them were in a small street and ordered a local specialty of braised stew for lunch. As the saying goes, if you don't go to the capital, you don't know that your officials are small, and Liang Bin and Wang Xiaosong are absolute figures when they are put in Binlai New District.

But in the streets and alleys of the capital, it seems to have become a blur of people, and it is strange to say that the two of them not only do not feel lost, but feel more and more comfortable.

After the meal, the two of them did not go to the guest house of the East China Provincial Office in Beijing, but found a cheap hotel nearby to settle down. Seeing that it was time to go to work in the afternoon, I went to the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

When he first arrived at the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Minister Cao Long was said to be in a meeting, but this did not have a big impact, Liang Bin had already made an appointment with several business experts from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and Wang Xiaosong took a number of questions from his notebook and discussed with these experts for a whole afternoon.

Seeing that in the afternoon, the meeting had just ended, and Wang Xiaosong felt that his head was hot.

After saying goodbye to those experts, Liang Bin intentionally or unintentionally asked a staff member outside where Minister Cao was now.

The staff said: "Minister Cao went out after the meeting, and he should have gone home directly." You'd better come tomorrow. ”

Liang Bin sighed, watched the staff walk away, and said to Wang Xiaosong: "Xiaosong, Minister Cao is very concerned about the work of our Binlai New District, don't you plan to go and have a look?"

Liang Bin knew the relationship between Wang Xiaosong and Cao Long, so he did not bluntly order Wang Xiaosong to visit Cao Long with him, but asked for Wang Xiaosong's attitude.

The leaders of the people are like this, how can they refuse, let's talk about it. If Dad knew that he was coming to the capital, he would definitely let him visit this Uncle Cao.

Wang Xiaosong nodded, and Liang Bin took Wang Xiaosong back to the hotel and took out the suitcase and the specialties of Chuanyang City that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Longshan clouds. Wang Xiaosong said in surprise.

Liang Bin smiled: "With eyesight, this is our Binlai brand product." In the early years, due to the inability to keep up with environmental protection work, the output of tea mountains around Longshan plummeted, and the taste and quality of the fried tea were not as good as before.

This is this year's new tea, which can be regarded as the first batch of achievements after your environmental protection rectification. Giving this to Minister Cao is the most appropriate time. ”

Wang Xiaosong smiled, Liang Bin is indeed a very thoughtful person, this alone is enough to learn for a long time.

The two of them took a taxi to the door of Cao Long's house, looking at the porch, Wang Xiaosong felt worried, but he still followed Liang Bin forward.

Liang Bin pressed the doorbell, and soon a middle-aged woman walked out, this woman was the nanny of Cao Long's family, she had seen Liang Bin before, and after meeting, she said: "Director Liang, you are here, the minister has just finished dinner." ”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman brought Liang Bin and Wang Xiaosong into the living room, and the two of them saw that Cao Long was sitting on the sofa, holding a notebook and a cup of hot tea in front of him.

"Minister Cao, Xiaosong and I came to see you. Liang Bin said.

As soon as Cao Long raised his eyes, he immediately smiled: "Xiao Liang!"

Cao Long was just about to get up, when he saw Wang Xiaosong behind Liang Bin, and his originally slow movements suddenly became rapid: "Xiaosong!

Wang Xiaosong hurriedly bowed slightly to Cao Long: "Minister Cao, Director Liang and I came to see you." ”

Hearing Wang Xiaosong's name for himself, Cao Long's expression was a little gloomy, and Cao Long was very satisfied with Wang Xiaosong's son-in-law. But there is no way, his daughter is no longer with Wang Xiaosong.

You must know that with the relationship between Cao Long and Wang Bing, Wang Xiaosong used to see himself as Uncle Cao. But now he calls himself Minister Cao, a title that makes me feel a lot of life.

Liang Bin looked at the two of them and smiled slightly: "By the way, Xiaosong, didn't you bring Minister Cao the clouds and mist of Longshan in our hometown." Minister Cao, this is this year's new tea, and it is also one of the first achievements of our environmental protection work in Binlai New Area. ”

Cao Long nodded, took the teapot from Wang Xiaosong's hand, opened it and smelled it: "That's right, it's the same flavor that your father gave me before." Since when did it start, the production of Longshan Cloud and Mist has decreased, and the taste is not right.

It seems that your results are quite remarkable. ”

A few people smiled, and Cao Long invited the two of them to sit down, and directly handed the tea can to the nanny: "Aunt Chen, go ahead and make us a few cups of this tea." I also got a taste of Binlai County's environmental achievements. ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of a key opening the door from the door.

Wang Xiaosong lowered his head in pain, Cao Long's secretary and nanny are all at home, at this time, who else can open the door with the key and come in!

Sure enough, when the door opened, I heard the sound of high heels stepping on the floor, and a crisp female voice said, "Dad, there are guests at home." Oh, you're Director Liang. ”

At this point, the voice suddenly stopped, and fell into an awkward silence.

Wang Xiaosong took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and forcibly showed a smile on his face: "Feiyan, long time no see." ”
