Lao Xing did not drive to the train station, but drove directly to a familiar teahouse, usually when Zhao Changfeng came to Tianyang City for a meeting, Lao Xing played cards in this teahouse and waited.

Entering the teahouse, a refreshing and neat little waiter greeted him with a smile, "Yo, Brother Xing, you sent the leader to the meeting again?" Upstairs? ”

Lao Xing waved his hand and said, "I'll just sit on the first floor, and you can just serve me a pot of jasmine tea." "After more than ten years of running a car class in the municipal party committee, Lao Xing still likes jasmine tea, and he can't get used to drinking Maojian Longjing Biluochun Tieguanyin.

The waiter brought a pot of jasmine tea, and brought two plates, one plate contained two red Fuji apples from Beibei, and the other plate contained Lao Xing's favorite original sunflower seeds: "Brother Xing, this is for you." ”

Lao Xing smiled magnanimously, and tapped the table twice with his fingers, which was regarded as a thank you. Since following the leader, Lao Xing's behavior has become more and more like a leader.

Lao Xing was leisurely drinking tea, the phone rang twice, he looked at the number, it was all Li Changwen's, so he put the mobile phone on the tea table again, and let the mobile phone ring deafeningly.

Soon, the third call came, but it was Zhao Changfeng's: "Lao Xing, where is it?" People arrived early and waited for a long time at the exit. ”

"Boss, there's something wrong with the car, I'm repairing the car, just get it done, go over right away." Lao Xing beckoned the waiter to come over and pay the bill, lazily walked out of the teahouse, got on the car, and drove to the train station not far away.

As soon as the car entered the railway station square, Lao Xing's mobile phone rang. Lao Xing lazily pulled over the car, picked up his mobile phone, and Li Changwen's voice came from inside: "Lao Xing, where are you?" ”

"It's right in the railway station square, under the big billboard of China Mobile." Lao Xing said.

"Oh, I see, I see, it's a smoky car, right?"

"Yes, the smoky Santana two thousand." Lao Xing hung up the phone.

Soon, I saw two men and women dressed as a couple, the woman was carrying a small satchel, the man was holding a small suitcase in his left hand, and he was holding a mobile phone in his right hand. As the two gradually got closer, Lao Xing saw the appearance of the two people clearly: first look at the woman on the right, she looks like she is twenty-three or four-four years old, she belongs to the small jasper type, and she is quite beautiful. Looking at the man next to him again, Lao Xing was taken aback, could this be the boss's classmate Li Changwen? Why do you look so old, like a forty-year-old younger? Tall and thin figure, two deep forehead lines, and a bitter and hateful look. Standing with the woman next to him, it was like a father and daughter, but the two of them were wearing couple clothes.

"Old Xing, right? How did you come? Something wrong with the car? The tall and thin man was really Li Changwen, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Lao Xing could hear his voice.

"yes, little problem." Lao Xing pressed the window glass and tilted his head to Li Changwen: "Get in the car!" ”

Li Changwen wanted to wait for Lao Xing to take the initiative to get out of the car and open the door and load their luggage for them, but it seemed that there was no such treatment, so he had to say: "Lao Xing, my luggage ......."

"Put it in the trunk." Lao Xing pressed another button, and the trunk opened. Li Changwen had no choice but to go to the back in person, put the suitcase in the trunk, and then came over to open the car door and sit side by side with his wife in the back seat.

Lao Xing lit the fire unhurriedly, skillfully turned the head of the train, and drove towards the outside of the railway station square. Li Changwen touched the back seat and said, "Lao Xing, are you Mayor Zhao's driver?" ”

"Why, not like?" Lao Xing glanced in the rearview mirror.

"Why don't you drive Changfeng's car over?"

Lao Xing smiled in his heart, okay, one sentence immediately turned Mayor Zhao into Changfeng, and turned himself into a big man on an equal footing with the mayor. He said coldly: "This is our Mayor Zhao's special car. ”

"What? This is Changfeng's special car? Li Changwen's deep forehead was full of question marks, "A dignified mayor is equipped with a Santana 2000?" ”

"What's so strange about this, I said earlier, the mainland is very backward, a small deputy mayor, what power can he have?" Xiaojia Biyu whispered to Li Changwen in Mandarin with an eastern Guangdong accent.

"Yes, it's a small place in Beibei City." When Lao Xing answered, he immediately closed his mouth tightly, and he was no longer interested in saying a word to the couple.

Li Changwen seemed to know that there was something wrong with what he said, so he immediately reached out and took out a box of three or five, took out one and handed it to Lao Xing: "Come, smoke a cigarette." ”

"I'm not used to smoking." Lao Xing held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out a box of soft China from the front and handed it to the back: "Li Gong, let's try our domestic cigarettes." ”

Li Changwen didn't expect that Lao Xing, a driver, could afford to smoke soft China, and this cigarette was almost enough to withstand his box of three or five cigarettes. So he sneered and took the soft China from Lao Xing's hand, took out one and stuffed it into his mouth, and his face did not have the arrogant attitude just now.

Along the way, Li Changwen never spoke out loud again, all leaning together with his wife and whispering. It can be seen that although the appearance of the two is not very coordinated, the relationship is very deep.

Lao Xing was so happy that he didn't speak, he drove the car intently, and arrived in Bibei City thirty minutes later. According to Zhao Changfeng's instructions, Lao Xing drove the car straight to the municipal party committee and said to Li Changwen and his wife: "Don't talk later, I'll arrange it." He took Li Changwen and his wife to the main service desk. When the waitress saw Lao Xing coming in, she greeted her with a smile and asked, "Brother Xing, is there someone from above?" ”

Lao Xing knocked on the counter and asked, "What about Mr. Ma?" What are you busy with? He was not angry that Li Changwen looked down on Zhao Changfeng, so he wanted to put on a majestic posture for Zhao Changfeng.

The waiter hurriedly dialed the phone number of Ma Dahai, the general manager. After a few minutes, Ma Dahai came out of it, he glanced at Li Changwen and his wife, gently pulled Lao Xing aside, and asked softly: "Lao Xing, is this ......" Ma Dahai is the general manager of the Bibei Hotel, and the people who are sent to him every day are people in the officialdom, and their eyes are very poisonous, and they can see it at a glance if they are people in the officialdom. Although Li Changwen looks mature and experienced, his erratic eyes don't look like a person in the officialdom at first glance.

Lao Xing said lightly: It's from the province.

These words are actually very knowledgeable, they sound ordinary, but they are meaningful. Those from the province may also be a cloth cloth, ordinary people, or cadres from the province. Which one, Ma Haima is always your own guess.

Ma Dahai had a smile on his face, glanced at Li Changwen and his wife, and asked, "With your car?" They don't have a car? ”

Lao Xing said impatiently: "Mayor Zhao arranged it, you go and ask him." ”

Ma Dahai saw that Lao Xing had moved out of Mayor Zhao, and even though he was full of questions, he didn't dare to continue asking. He was mainly worried that this pair of men and women were some friends and relatives of Lao Xing, who came to rub the room. If it is really Zhao Changfeng's guest, even if it is not from the province, Ma Dahai will be warmly entertained. He put on a bright smile and turned to greet him: "The two leaders have worked hard all the way, welcome to come to us to inspect the work." I'll arrange it, I'm sorry! Then he turned to the waiter and said, "Why don't you get your luggage?" ”

The waiter hurriedly ran over and snatched the luggage from Li Changwen's hands, Li Changwen had never enjoyed such treatment, he had not yet reacted, and the suitcase had been snatched away by the waiter's enthusiastic hands. So Li Changwen's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he glanced at his wife proudly, meaning, how about it, my classmate is not bad here.

Lao Xing accompanied them upstairs, the room was very good, and it was arranged according to the standards of cadres at the reception level. At least in terms of housing standards, Li Changwen and Zhao Changfeng are on an equal footing.

Lao Xing saw that everything was arranged, so he shook hands and said goodbye to Li Changwen, saying that you should rest first, and Mayor Zhao will come to see you after work in the afternoon. Li Changwen was still a little puzzled, he looked at Lao Xing and said, "Don't you need to register your ID card?" Are we pretending to be provincial leaders? Will it cause trouble for Changfeng? ”

Hearing the last sentence, Lao Xing's impression of Li Changwen changed a little, and he said with a smile: "Li Gong, this is not a hotel, of course there is no need to register." Also, I mean that you are from the province, but I don't say that you are cadres from the province. Rest assured! ”

After Lao Xing left, Li Changwen immediately said to his wife Xie Yuqiong: "Arjun, how is it?" I've said that my classmates are doing a good job and will definitely help us. ”

Xie Yuqiong looked at the luxurious decoration of the room, and was stunned for a moment, before saying: "Awen, I really didn't expect that the mainland would develop so fast." In a small county-level city, the rooms in this guest house are more luxurious than the four-star hotels in eastern Guangdong. "In fact, the decoration of Xiaozhao is even more luxurious than a five-star hotel, but Xie Yuqiong has only lived in a four-star hotel at most, so there is only such an impression.
