Chapter 106: Taoguang is obscure
Out of Nan'an County is the area of Tonghu City. The rain began to light up and slowly stopped.
Instructor Yang opened the window and subconsciously asked what time it was, Tian Wenjian glanced at the time under the steering wheel and replied: "Ten o'clock is past ten o'clock." ”
"It took four hours to walk 200 kilometers, and if the road was good and it didn't rain, we should have arrived in Jiangcheng a long time ago." Thinking of the early departure, everyone didn't have time to eat breakfast, and Instructor Yang carried forward the Ming Cook and said, "Are you hungry?" Do you want to find a place to solve your stomach problems? ”
Dean Tian glanced at the rearview mirror and asked with a smile, "Captain, Director Han, what do you see?" ”
Without waiting for Captain Jiang to speak, Director Han blurted out: "Now that the rain has stopped, let's hurry up, it's not too late to have lunch in Jiangcheng." ”
The team leader poured out of the nest, and there was no one in charge of the family, no matter how things worked, they had to go back by six o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Jiang Zhengbao, who was walking on thin ice as a new official, also nodded heavily, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, look at this day, maybe it will get down again after a while, let's hurry first." ”
Dean Tian took the cigarette handed by Instructor Yang, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, you are the leader, listen to you." Director Wu of the military recruitment smiled, but he didn't squeak.
Tonghu City is a county-level city in Jiangcheng, the road here is much better, and the car entered Tonghu City at half past ten. A wide concrete avenue is displayed in front of you, lined with neat lampposts and lanterns hanging high above it, which is sure to illuminate the avenue in all colors at night.
Dean Tian slowed down the car, as if he wanted to enjoy the rare scenery a few more times. Instructor Yang opened the window, stuck his head out and looked around, and exclaimed, "Oh, this Tonghu is so magnificent!" ”
Dean Tian also has a feeling of entering the city. In fact, Tonghu has a population of more than 200,000, less than half of the population of Nan'an, but people can do things, and decorate a road into the city so luxuriously.
Listening to everyone's praise for this strange town, Tian Wenjian said in his heart, no wonder the main leaders of Tonghu City came up so quickly. In contrast, the leaders of Nan'an County have been standing still, and it has been rare for many years to be promoted.
Thinking like this, this fifteen-kilometer-long avenue has been completed. As we drove out of the city, it rained heavily, even more than the rain in the morning.
Jiangcheng is its own territory, and it can't let the leaders go hungry. After thinking about it, Dean Tian took out his mobile phone and called the third senior brother Fu Jianguo, asking him to prepare lunch and go to Jiangnan University to pick up Xiao Na by the way.
Looking at Dean Tian's eyebrows, Han Jingyun couldn't help but quip: "Xiao Tian, you never forget to balance public and private affairs." ”
"That's it!"
Dean Tian put down his mobile phone, held on to the steering wheel and laughed: "Everyone finally came to Jiangcheng, how can I do my best to be a landlord?" On such an important occasion, it would be insincere for the family not to attend, so Cortana had to come. ”
"Xiao Tian, we appreciate your kindness."
Without waiting for Director Han to speak, Captain Jiang said impatiently: "I have been delayed for so long on the road, I don't dare to delay it any longer." ”
"People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. The general secretary is busy, right? But he also had to eat. After a pause, Dean Tian continued to smile: "It's just a home-cooked meal, and I don't drink alcohol, so it won't take long." ”
"Commonplace, come to your house to eat?" Director Han was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile and asked.
Dean Tian glanced back, and said with a smile: "The cunning rabbit is still three caves, why can't I have a nest in Jiangcheng?" ”
Instructor Yang, who was still curious about Dean Tian, suddenly laughed and said, "Since Xiao Tian has already arranged everything, then we are welcome, anyway, we are not outsiders." ”
It was already 12:10 a.m. when I entered Jiangcheng City, and after walking along the wide Zhongshan Road for about ten minutes, the car slowly turned into Bayi Road. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the solemn building of the provincial military district, and before they could react, Coaster stopped in front of the sentry post at the north gate of the J provincial branch of the Huaxin News Agency.
As soon as the car door opened, I saw a petite figure running out of the duty room, climbed into the bus and greeted everyone with a smile: "Sister Han is good, the instructor is good, and Director Jiang is good." ”
Han Jingyun hurriedly pulled Xiao Na to his side, wiped the rain on her cheeks, and said with a smile on his face: "Look at you, why don't you even have an umbrella." ”
Instructor Yang turned around and quipped: "Xiao Na is getting more and more beautiful, so that we Xiao Tian can't eat and sleep all day long." ”
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Director Wu even reminded: "Xiao Na, Director Jiang is now Captain Jiang, and you can't call it wrong again in the future." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Director Jiang...... Oh no, Captain Jiang, welcome to Jiangcheng. Cortana blushed with shame and quickly turned around and apologized.
The way she covered her mouth and chuckled, she was full of charm in an instant. Dean Tian drank honey, looked at his delicate beloved lover, and said with a smile: "Wife, where is the third brother?" ”
"Cooking with my sister-in-law inside, he asked me to come out and pick you up." Xiao Na gave Director Han an apologetic smile, and then leaned her hand into Dean Tian's ear, and reminded in a low voice: "The old man is also here, the third brother tells you to be careful." ”
Her face was full of redness, her eyes were full of concern, floating with a seductive glittering look, there was an indescribable charm and moving, Dean Tian couldn't help but kiss her ear, and smiled softly: "The old man is easy to deal with, and a few soft words will be confused." ”
The appearance of this little couple made everyone laugh again. After Captain Jiang finished laughing, he patted the back of the chair and teased: "Xiao Na, when the matter is done, I will give Xiao Tian a day off, so that the two of you can talk quietly." ”
"Captain Jiang, you're so bad!"
After Xiao Na said a strange word, she snuggled up to Sister Han, stared at her beloved boyfriend affectionately, and smiled with her mouth pursed.
The J Provincial Branch of the Huaxin News Agency is the only unit with armed police on duty in the department, bureau, and commission, and the president of Tian University greeted the officers and soldiers on duty, and then started the bus and slowly drove into the north gate.
The family area is in the compound, and although the house is built in the late seventies, the surrounding greenery is excellent. Towering trees, lawns, rockeries, flower beds, the design style is simple and atmospheric, revealing a quiet and elegant style everywhere. It may be in the high-walled compound, and it makes people feel a little nervous and serious.
Wu Bolan is a photographer, but his level is not low at all. As a veteran of the photography department of Huaxin Press, while serving as the deputy department-level position of the director of the photo collection center, he also enjoys the leadership treatment of the department-level leader.
As soon as everyone stepped out of the bus, they saw an old man standing in front of the building without anger and arrogance, and Han Jingyun, who was not ignorant of Dean Tian, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a very serious attitude: "Good chief!" ”
Seeing that Director Han was so respectful, Yang Xiaoguang, Jiang Zhengbao and Wu Changguo did not dare to slack off, and immediately straightened their military uniforms and gave Wu Bolan a solemn military salute.
Tian Wenjian was about to step forward to introduce, when he saw that the old man showed a rare smile.
Wu Bolan nodded slightly, pointed to the dean of Tian University behind them, and quipped: "I'm not a chief, I'm just the parent of that stinky boy." Everyone's starving, right? If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after eating. ”
At this time, Fu Jianguo ran out with an apron, and after giving Dean Tian a look, he greeted warmly with a smile on his face: "Please, please, please, everyone inside, please." ”
Seeing that everyone was still stunned, Master Wu was anxious, pointed at Dean Tian and scolded angrily: "You stinky boy! Don't invite guests in? ”
"Okay, master."
Dean Tian, who was thinking about how it would be cleaned up, hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a sneer: "Captain, instructor, Director Han, Director Wu, just like you are at home, don't be polite." ”
A large round table has already been set up in the living room, and there are more than a dozen dishes on the table, which are full of color and aroma, and at a glance you know that it is the masterpiece of the third sister-in-law. The hungry Dean Tian didn't wash his hands, so he grabbed a chicken wing and gnawed it, so angry that Xiao Na gritted her teeth and stared at her.
Looking at everyone's restrained looks, Master Wu coughed dryly twice, and said casually: "Jianguo, Xiao Na, you two greet good guests, and I will say a few words to Wen Jian." ”
Filial piety comes out under the stick!
Thinking of what her husband had said to her, Director Han realized that Dean Tian might have fallen into the net.
"It's rare for Wen Jian to come back and let him talk."
The atmosphere was a little weird, Fu Jianguo hurriedly started a round, and after pushing Instructor Yang into the seat, he smiled casually: "It's commonplace, everyone is welcome, sit down...... You may be seated. ”
"yes, yes, just like your own home." Xiao Na explained with a smile while serving food to everyone: "Master, his old man lives in the building in front, this is the home of the third brother and Wen Jian, they are not outsiders, what are you polite?" ”
Antique furniture, simple and elegant bookshelves, Lao Chen's house of more than 130 square meters, how to calculate the value of more than 40,000 yuan. Dean Tian, who had come in once, pointed in the direction of the corner as soon as he walked into the study, and muttered: "I remember that there used to be a bonsai here, and this old Chen was too picky, and he didn't even leave me any souvenirs." ”
Bonsai is Lao Chen's lifeblood, even if his wife loses it, he can't lose the bonsai, Wu Bolan doesn't believe that the closed disciple who has been working in the club for three years doesn't know, seeing that he deliberately pulled the topic elsewhere, he snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Don't come with me like this, there are guests today, you put it aside in advance, and I want to ask two things when you come in." ”
Dean Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward, while helping the master massage his shoulders, he smiled with a dead face: "Master, just ask, don't say two things, even if there are two hundred, I know everything." ”
"It's going to be nice."
After Wu Bolan scolded with a smile, he asked again and again: "Third child...... Third...... The third child, the third child told me, said that you saw Chen Jie? ”
So that's what happened!
Dean Tian was happy, and hurriedly laughed in a low voice: "Seeing people, she is in good spirits now, and she also told me that she is worried about your old man." But she's busy with work and can't always find time to come back to see you. ”
If you can't find time to come back, you won't even have time to call, right?
If someone else were replaced, Wu Bolan would definitely be furious, but Chen Jie was an exception, not only would he not be angry with her, but he also had a deep apology for her.
Thinking of the tragedy caused by him, Wu Bolan's heart was like a knife, he grabbed the armrest of the rattan chair, and asked tremblingly, "Is she someone?" ”
"Well, a deputy director of the Economic and Trade Commission."
Tian Wenjian squatted down, grabbed his hands, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Master, don't worry." I have already inquired with Anzi, that person has a good character, and he really loves Sister Chen. Although it is a second marriage, she is also widowed like Sister Chen, and only those who have lost it know how to cherish it, and that kind of person knows that it hurts. ”
Whether Chen Jie can have a good home is more important than anything else. Wu Bolan breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Then did she say when she would get married?" ”
"It's not National Day or New Year's Day, it's almost like that."
Dean Tian will not let go of this opportunity to fulfill his promise, and after a pause, he continued: "Sister Chen is married to a Beijing official, but her parents are in the countryside, which is related to her status after entering her in-law's family. Master, no matter what...... We also have to hold up the woman's scene, and we must not let her be looked down upon. ”
People are realistic, there is family affection in addition to love, thinking of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship that is difficult to reconcile, Master Wu nodded heavily, and said thoughtfully: "This matter is very important, we must give her a beautiful wedding, and we must not let her suffer a little more grievances." ”
"I knew you would say that, master."
Dean Tian nodded and said with a serious face: "If the man invites a deputy minister, then we have to invite a minister even if we kowtow." ”
It's been six years since I left the capital, and even if I had a relationship before, I can't use it now. Master Wu suddenly found that his popularity was really not ordinarily bad. Not to mention that the minister was not invited, he didn't even know a single one of the directors of various ministries and commissions.
Seeing the old man's appearance as if he was in mourning, Dean Tian hurriedly said cautiously: "Master, your old man is high-spirited and upright, so naturally he won't do those things that are sloppy and patting." But this is related to Sister Chen's future, so I will be the master of your old man. Don't be angry with me, I'm doing this for Sister Chen. ”
"What have you done for me?" Master Wu was confused and asked confusedly.
"Master, Anzi's father is a minister. In desperation, I ...... I'll just ...... I just, I did this for your old man. ”
"You...... You...... You, alas, ......! ”
Looking at Dean Tian's pitiful appearance, and then thinking of Chen Jie's tragic experience, Wu Bolan lost his position, and his face turned white and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, ......! The name of the first life will be ruined in the hands of your boy! ”
"Master, this is a good thing, don't think about it that way."
Wu Bolan nodded helplessly, and after pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "Forget it, I can't blame you for this." Give that kid a word, and say that I will go back to Beijing next week to take the blame, and let him arrange it. ”
Dean Tian was ecstatic for a while, and hurriedly smiled: "Master, in fact, the advantages are all on your side, can he beat you in a protracted battle?" Exchange space for time, and consume him to death! You know this, and Mr. Ann knows it. Your return to Beijing is not called a guilty plea, but a manifestation of broad-mindedness, and a modern tale of meeting with a smile and enmity. ”
"Space for time, this sentence is well said."
Master Wu nodded with satisfaction, waved his big hand, and said in high spirits: "Coercion and temptation, he has used all kinds of tricks, your master and I have seen the tricks and dismantled the tricks, and I have sat firmly in Diaoyutai for six years." Glory in defeat, glory in defeat! ”
"It's for all to see!"
After the big thing was done, Dean Tian was in a very happy mood, and after slapping his ass, he rubbed his empty stomach, and said with a wry smile: "Master, I'm done asking, can I eat now?" ”
"Wait."
Wu Bolan's face was straight, and he said with great solemnity: "Wenjian, something big has happened in Indonesia!" The club has lost contact with the eighth child, and today is the fifth day! If you receive an email from him or a call from him, call me immediately. ”
"What's wrong?" Tian Wenjian was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"Since the 11th, there has been a large-scale anti-Chinese riot in Indonesia." After Wu Bolan paused, he continued with a grim face: "Chinese residents have been systematically abused and killed, Chinese-owned companies, supermarkets, and factories have been smashed and looted, and Chinese women have been brutally annihilated and burned!
According to the latest news from foreign news, as of 5 pm yesterday, at least 1,000 Chinese people in Indonesia were killed, and 1,000 Chinese women were raped by thugs! Many of these women were burned alive, succumbed to their lower wounds, or committed suicide in humiliation and hatred. It's miserable, and heaven and man are angry! ”
It is not surprising that the media collectively lost their voice, after all, there is no limit to research and discipline in propaganda. But he still asked impatiently: "Master, is there any movement on it?" ”
"What can I do?"
After a long sigh, Wu Bolan gritted his teeth and said: "The Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong issued a statement expressing concern about the situation of Chinese citizens in Indonesia, including Hong Kong compatriots, and the Embassy in Indonesia will go all out to provide consular protection and services for overseas Chinese.
But the embassy has only set up two hotlines, which basically can't be reached. A spokesman for the Office of the Commissioner explained that the embassy in Indonesia has only 25 staff members and only five or six telephone lines, which are in short supply and cannot even be accessed by the office.
The spokesman also said that the 25 embassy staff are already working without eating or sleeping, some of them are answering calls for help on a full-time basis, and some are buying air tickets for stranded Hong Kong people at the airport. He stressed that the embassy sent a special car to rescue more than 70 Hong Kong people who were in critical condition from danger. He said that under such special circumstances, even the embassy car could not go to all places, and called on the Hong Kong people to understand. ”
"Gone?"
"It's gone!" Wu Bolan lowered his head and said with a sigh: "Without a strong navy and air force, the leaders have no confidence!" ”
It seems that the old eight murderers are less auspicious!
Thinking that such a big thing had happened, and he didn't even condemn it, Tian Wenjian said angrily: "Whenever there is a strong indignation, it is Taoguang Yang. This time, not only was there no strong indignation, but there was not even a concern, a strong concern. With such advanced information, can they hide it for a while, can they still hide it for a lifetime? ”
