Friday, July 7, 8 p.m.

Xiao Chen drove a black Santana sedan and went to the station to pick up Yue Xiaolian, who was returning to Dingqing during the summer vacation.

Xiao Chen's car stopped outside the station, feeling a little thirsty, and looked at it, but the mineral water on the car was drunk, and he was walking out to buy water, when suddenly Liu Wenjun's voice came from behind: "Secretary Xiao? ”

Xiao Chen turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Liu Wenjun stepping forward with a smile, and couldn't help laughing: "Old Liu, ...... is here?" ”

Liu Wenjun said with a smile: "Isn't this my family's unfinished thing on summer vacation, what kind of thing does he want to participate in in the capital...... Ah, I forgot, anyway, I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I called him back, no, I rushed here as soon as I got off the train in Star City, and caught the last long-distance bus, and the time was here. He smiled: "The secretary also picks up people?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Yes, I will pick up the girl who was admitted to Huaxia University, Yue Xiaolian." ”

The name Yue Xiaolian is not uncommon at the top of the district party committee, Xiao Chen chose their family for poverty alleviation, but she was later admitted to Huaxia University in one fell swoop, which is a small legend in Dingqing District, after all, Huaxia University is still very shocking in this small place.

When Liu Wenjun heard this, he smiled and said: "Then we are really revolutionary comrades-in-arms, and we can all meet so well." ”

Xiao Chen laughed: "Yes, revolutionary comrades-in-arms." As he spoke, he beckoned Liu Wenjun: "I'll buy a few bottles of water." Liu Wenjun smiled and said okay.

Xiao Chen bought water and threw it in the car, and when he came over again, he smiled and said, "How is it, Liu He should be more sensible now, right?" ”

Liu Wenjun was a little relieved and nodded: "After suffering a loss, I am more sensible, but I am also afraid that he will sprout in a solid state, so it is better to call him back." As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, he usually doesn't like to smoke when he has nothing to do, and he rarely smokes in front of people. Liu Wenjun also knew that Xiao Chen's cigarette was basically not moving, so he smiled and lit one himself.

Xiao Chen suddenly asked: "You know about the additional investment on X08 National Highway, Lao Liu, right?" ”

Liu Wenjun nodded: "I know." ”

"What do you think?" Xiao Chen asked.

"What do I think?" Liu Wenjun didn't understand, looked at Xiao Chen, and his heart moved: "Is something wrong?" ”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I can't say it, but this maintenance is routine maintenance, as for the widening and reinforcement, this is a national policy, I remember the situation of X08 National Highway, the Government Council sent an expedition team to inspect before, at that time it was determined that it was only 30 million, and now the provincial department suddenly said that it would be 60 million, or even 80 million, I always feel that something is not right, only forty or fifty kilometers of road, why is the price difference so big?" ”

Liu Wenjun's face slowly became serious, pondered for a moment, and said: "Could it be that the provincial department wants to pass through the middle and increase a little 'benefit'?" ”

Xiao Chen nodded slightly: "I thought so before, but then Zhang Bangcheng said that the Government Council refused to allocate additional funds, and the province also said that there was no budget to give us, so the provincial department suggested that we find a bank loan first, and then we could charge it...... However, I clearly told Zhang Bangcheng about the charge, and I don't approve of it. But even so, he finally found a bank to take out a loan, but the bank he found was very strange, it was to build a branch in Fuxiang District, Planet City, and the loan was very strong, and he borrowed 30 million at a time. ”

Liu Wenjun smiled, unable to see his true attitude: "District Chief Zhang is also a capable person." ”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "Don't you think this loan is a little strange?" ”

Liu Wenjun pondered for a while: "It's a little weird, it is said that District Mayor Zhang is looking for a loan, and it should be our Dingqing bank, or at least it should be Langliu's bank, over there in Star City...... Are they so optimistic about our ability to repay the money? Or is this president on such a good relationship with Zhang Bangcheng?? ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart moved, and said, "Who is the president of this bank, Lao Liu, you can check it." ”

Liu Wenjun smiled and said, "Okay." But there was a move in his heart, did Secretary Xiao find that something was wrong?

At this time, a long-distance bus drove in the bus station, and within two minutes, a group of passengers came out of the station.

Although Yue Xiaolian's figure is a little petite, she has a graceful figure, and it is easy to find it in the crowd, Xiao Chen looked at it, but it was a bit of an accident, the girl named Luo Ting I met last time was coming over with Yue Xiaolian, and it seemed that the two were walking together.

Beside them, there was a young man with several boxes in his hands...... Xiao Chen turned his eyes to look at Luo Ting, but he smiled, daring to love Luo Ting's box was carried by this man.

As soon as Yue Xiaolian came out, she looked around, and then saw Xiao Chen at a glance, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and she walked towards Xiao Chen quickly with her suitcase. Luo Ting's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Chen, and she immediately came over with Yue Xiaolian, and the young man was also busy dragging the box to this side.

"Brother!" Yue Xiaolian screamed with a smile.

Xiao Chen smiled: "Tired, right?" ”

Yue Xiaolian shook her head vigorously, with a sweet smile on her face.

The boy next to him was stunned and stopped.

"Brother Xiao...... Oops, it's annoying to add one more word, I'll call you brother too, right? Luo Ting said with a smile on the side.

Xiao Chen smiled: "Whatever you want." ”

Luo Tingxi said: "Really? Oh you said! ”

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded: "I said it." ”

Suddenly, at this time, Liu Wenjun next to him coughed very seriously.

Xiao Chen glanced at him with some surprise, Yue Xiaolian and Luo Ting also noticed Liu Wenjun beside Xiao Chen at this time, looked at him, and their first judgment was: This is an official, not a driver or something.

Then the two daughters smiled together and asked Xiao Chen: "Brother, who is this?" ”

Xiao Chen was a little funny, but he still introduced seriously: "This is Liu Wenjun, deputy secretary of our district committee. ”

The second daughter suddenly realized, but she was very puzzled in her heart, why did the deputy secretary also follow? But his mouth screamed sweetly: "Hello Secretary Liu, my name is Yue Xiaolian (my name is Luo Ting)." ”

Liu Wenjun didn't actually want to attract the attention of the two of them, but since Xiao Chen introduced it, and these two girls called Xiao Chen as "brother", it seems that the relationship is not bad, and he is not easy to slack off, so he smiled and said: "Okay, you guys are okay." ”

The man next to him suddenly called out a little depressed and reluctantly: "Dad......"

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, it turned out that this was Liu He?

Sure enough, Liu Wenjun snorted with a straight face: "Do you still know that I am your father?" ”

Liu He lowered his head and didn't speak, and Liu Wenjun's tone softened a little: "Come and see Secretary Xiao." ”

Liu He glanced up at his father, then at Xiao Chen, and then opened his eyes wide: "You are Xiao Chen...... Clerk? ”

Before Xiao Chen could speak, Liu Wenjun scolded: "How do you speak, it's called Uncle Xiao!" ”

Xiao Chen was also stunned by this, Liu He didn't do it anymore, he felt that Xiao Chen was not two or three years older than him, called uncle? I hesitated at the time.

Luo Ting sneered and said to Liu He: "Hurry up, hurry up, call my brother uncle." Yue Xiaolian secretly pulled her beside her, but she didn't take it seriously.

Liu He's face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word.

Luo Ting grinned and said, "Look at you, you're still putting senior brother in front of us." ”

Xiao Chen only understood what was going on at this time, smiled and waved his hand: "Liu He, don't listen to your father...... Lao Liu, let's go our separate ways, this uncle called me out, and called me old. Liu He, if you want, call Brother Xiao and Brother Chen whatever you want, okay. As he spoke, he reached out his hand.

Liu He smiled at Xiao Chen with some gratitude, and hurriedly reached out to shake Xiao Chen's hand, and said, "Brother Xiao, thank you so much for what happened last time." ”

Xiao Chen withdrew his hand and smiled: "It's nothing, just learn a lesson." ”

Liu Wenjun smiled a little bitterly: "Secretary, this kid ...... Don't look at such a big one, it's just not sensible, you are more forgiving. ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "It's okay, it's good." ”

Luo Ting pouted: "Brother, you are talking too fast, you can't stop it." ”

Xiao Chen smiled and asked, "What?" ”

Luo Ting said: "Just now he has been showing that he is one year higher than me and Xiaolian in the car, he is his little junior sister, he finally found an opportunity, and almost asked him to call him Auntie, what a good opportunity, it was wasted by you." ”

Xiao Chen laughed, Liu Wenjun couldn't help it, Liu He coughed stupidly, Yue Xiaolian glanced at Xiao Chen, and saw that he was not angry, so he was relieved.

Xiao Chen said: "That's okay, Lao Liu, I won't delay the reunion of your father and son, let's go first." ”

Liu Wenjun hurriedly said: "Okay, the secretary walks slowly, I am also about to take him back to see his mother." ”

Xiao Chen smiled, and Luo Ting hurriedly dragged up a box that Liu He was dragging just now, and said, "Brother, can you give me a ride by the way?" We should drop by. ”

Xiao Chen was a little helpless about this little girl, and said with a smile: "I didn't plan to let you walk back by yourself, get in the car." As she spoke, she looked at Yue Xiaolian, only to find that her box had always been carried by herself.

Xiao Chen got into the car with Yue Xiaolian and Luo Ting here, and Liu Wenjun also pulled Liu He into the car.

As soon as Liu He got in the car, Liu Wenjun asked, "How long have you known those two girls just now?" ”

Liu He rolled his eyes: "I just met." ”

"Just met??" Liu Wenjun's tone was obviously unbelieving and a little harsh.

Liu He sighed: "Okay, okay, I knew them before, but from the perspective of talking to them, I just met them today and met them on the train." ”

"How did you know about her before??"

"A cadre of the Youth League Committee, a cadre of the student union, I know what's strange."

"Oh." Liu Wenjun was a little relieved, but said seriously: "Don't have any crooked thoughts about the two of them, you know?" ”

"What do you mean by crooked thoughts??" Liu He was very dissatisfied.

Liu Wenjun glanced at him and said, "You understand in your heart, do you want me to say it clearly?" ”

Liu He pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"You must think I'm interfering in your 'internal affairs' again, don't you?" Liu Wenjun asked.

"You have this habit anyway, and I'm used to it."

Liu Wenjun said lightly: "Before the relationship between the two of them and Secretary Xiao is determined, you must not have crooked thoughts about them, don't let me and your mother worry so much about you." ”

Liu He's heart froze: "...... Secretary Xiao with them?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Wenjun said lightly: "What did you tell me last time you came back?" ”

Liu He was silent for a moment and replied: "In our Huaxia, only when you are an official and a big official are you not afraid of being bullied. ”

"Well, that's right." Liu Wenjun said expressionlessly: "So, before you become a big official, you must at least learn to protect yourself first, how can you call it protecting yourself?" It is to judge the situation, see the direction of the wind, and then everything goes with the direction of the wind. ”

Liu He looked at his dad and waited for his dad to explain.

Liu Wenjun said while driving: "Now that you are not sure what the relationship between these two girls is with Secretary Xiao, then you have to plan for the worst...... Suppose they are Secretary Xiao's women. Tell me, what are the consequences if you go after them at this time? How big Secretary Xiao's background is, I still haven't understood your father, but I can tell you very responsibly that behind him, he will never be just a minister, do you understand what I mean? ”

Liu He closed his eyes, nodded, and whispered, "Understood." ”

Liu Wenjun was slightly relieved at this time, nodded, glanced at Liu He with his eyes closed, and said, "However, this matter is not completely hopeless. ”

Liu He opened his eyes suddenly: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Wenjun smiled and said, "Yue Xiaolian...... It's hard to say, but Luo Ting shouldn't have a special relationship with Secretary Xiao for the time being. ”

Liu He's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Liu Wenjun glanced at his son and said with a smile: "Is it her?" ”

Liu He was stunned for a moment, his face was slightly red, but he refused to bow his head against his neck, but just tilted his head: "You don't like it?" ”

"You are looking for a wife, what do I not look up to?" Liu Wenjun said calmly in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, even if this Luo Ting can't get along with Secretary Xiao, but she has such a good relationship with Yue Xiaolian next to Secretary Xiao, it is a good channel to contact feelings in the future, and this daughter-in-law can still be considered.

Liu He was slightly surprised, when did Dad talk so well, and looked at Liu Wenjun with some confusion: "Dad, are you serious?" ”

Liu Wenjun shook his head slightly: "Even if it's true, don't worry about it for the time being, wait for a while, I'll figure it out a little later." ”

Liu He was a little annoyed, but Xiao Chen was his benefactor, and he couldn't get angry, so he was a little depressed.

Liu Wenjun glanced at his son with a slight surprise, and said in his heart, is this kid really moving? Amitabha, fortunately, he didn't take a look at Yue Xiaolian, otherwise it would have been a real trouble. Although Secretary Xiao couldn't see anything on his face, but Yue Xiaolian's eyes looked at Secretary Xiao, if I couldn't see it, hadn't I been in the system for so many years?

He looked at the black Santana in front of him and had an idea.
