In the afternoon, five o'clock.

Family home, Lao Yang's family.

Dong Xuebin was holding the child and teasing her in the house, ringing ringing, ringing ringing, the mobile phone rang, it was a number that he didn't save a business card.

"Hey, I'm Dong Xuebin." Dong Xuebin continued.

"Xuebin, I'm Hou Jing." It was a woman's voice on the other end.

Dong Xuebin smiled: "Sister Hou, is this your mobile phone number?" ”

"It's mine, hehe, it took me a long time to find your number." Hou Jing said.

Dong Xuebin said: "Hey, I forgot to leave it for you, by the way, I haven't thanked you for the noon incident." ”

Hou Jing smiled, "I didn't help much, I don't dare to take this thank you word for it." ”

Dong Xuebin said: "You didn't let those police arrest people because you helped me, otherwise I would have let my words out, and I don't know how to deal with it if I really want to conflict." ”

"I also don't want them to touch the nails, where are these police officers in our bureau your opponents? Even if you come to a team, it's your own effort to catch you, right? ”

"Don't mind, I'm not that good."

"You, don't be modest, I've seen your combat power with my own eyes."

"By the way, you're looking for me?"

"It's nothing, do you have time for a while? Have a meal together? ”

"This ......" Dong Xuebin looked to the side, "Originally, it was ...... with the food at home."

Hou Jing said: "You should go back to work tomorrow, right?" It's hard to come once, I can't let go of this opportunity, I won't give me any face? ”

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "That's ...... Okay, you say the place? ”

Hou Jing said an address, "Six o'clock, see you or not?" ”

"Cheng, I will definitely arrive on time, and I will talk about it then."

"Okay, we'll talk when we meet."

Hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin looked at his mother who was picking vegetables in the living room and Yang Zhaode who was watching TV, and smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle Yang, Mom, I have to go out at night." ”

Luan Xiaoping looked at him, "With whom?" ”

Dong Xuebin said: "Hou Jing, deputy director of the Lu'an City Public Security Bureau. ”

Yang Zhaode smiled unexpectedly, "Xiaobin, you have a pretty wide face, and you still have acquaintances in our city?" Xiaohou, I know, quite a capable cadre. ”

Dong Xuebin explained: "I also met her when I was on a mission, and it was quite funny, at that time, we were both undercover agents, and the theft of the Provincial Museum was discovered, and later Sister Hou was exposed, I saved her, and the friendship was also fought at that time." "From a certain point of view, no relationship is more reliable than a relationship tied to interests, but the friendship of life is always more real than the exchange of interests.

Yang Zhaode nodded slightly, "It's always good to expand your network more." ”

"Then I won't eat with my family at night?" Dong Xuebin said.

Luan Xiaoping was a little unhappy and said: "I haven't seen you so busy usually, why do you have so many things to do in the New Year?" Can't afford to have a solid meal with your family? ”

Dong Xuebin knew that his mother was thinking about himself, and he hadn't been able to see her for a long time, but he finally came back this time, and his mother definitely wanted to accompany her more.

"This ......" Dong Xuebin scratched his head.

Yang Zhaode helped persuade: "Let the child go, his current level and position, there is still less entertainment?" It's not too much to socialize every day, and when the seat is here, I can't run. ”

Luan Xiaoping said: "Where did he socialize before. ”

Yang Zhaode was stunned, "Xiaobin didn't socialize?" ”

Dong Xuebin sneered, "There really aren't many." ”

"How is that possible?" Yang Zhaode was surprised: "At your time, I basically haven't eaten dinner at home every day, merchants, colleagues, cadres, isn't it often to accompany others to eat?" It's already part of the job, you don't have it? ”

Dong Xuebin was depressed when he mentioned this, and he didn't know what to say.

Or Luan Xiaoping said it for him, "When he used to work in the capital Guoan, he offended the head of the unit, Director Zhen, and later served in Yantai County, he arrested the relatives of the county party secretary, and also annoyed others, and later went to Nanshan-District, and tossed the secretary of the district party committee enough, and now he is in Fenzhou City, no, he just offended the secretary of the municipal party committee because of Yun Xuan's matter a while ago, and he still entertained?" Tell me who would dare to go to dinner with him like Xiaobin? Except for a few colleagues who have a particularly good relationship, no one dares to look for him. ”

Luan Xiaoping said the truth, which is also the fundamental reason why Dong Xuebin is very idle when he goes home every day, he has offended too many people, and all of them are upper-level leaders, so everyone has to weigh before contacting Dong Xuebin, and the result of weighing is often - he will not be too close to him at all, so as not to be seen by people who are interested and misunderstand the leaders above, so Dong Xuebin has not been very popular since he entered the system, except for a few people, the popularity of this guy has not been very good, and he has made enemies on all sides.

It's just that this matter doesn't show his face very much, and Dong Xuebin has never wanted to admit it.

Yang Zhaode only understood when he heard this, it turned out to be the case, he was immediately amused, "Xiaobin is not taking the usual path, in this embattled situation, he can still rise step by step, from this point of view, we can also see the ability of our children, and the future will definitely be limitless." ”

Luan Xiaoping pouted and said, "You always follow him, hum." ”

But Dong Xuebin is not Yang Zhaode's own son, it is impossible for Lao Yang to criticize him every day, that will only backfire, and Lao Yang is very good at the proportion inside.

Dong Xuebin didn't like to hear it: "Mom, don't step on me, okay?" ”

"You can do it, and you still don't want your mother to say it? Which official have you ever seen who has offended more people? Do your own calculations how many people you have offended since you became a civil servant? More than a few hundred! Everyone who is an official is a ball of harmony, you are good, why don't you take the usual path, it is clearly mixed up. Luan Xiaoping glared at him, "I can't control you, go ahead, what time will you come back at night?" ”

Dong Xuebin said: "Maybe, I'll talk about it then." ”

What happened downstairs at noon must have made my mother angry, and Dong Xuebin didn't dare to talk to my mother.

At this time, Yang Zhaode was always towards Dong Xuebin, and immediately smiled and helped him change the topic, and instructed Dong Xuebin: "Xiaohou is a late bloomer, and he was only promoted in the past two years. ”

Dong Xuebin said, "I know Uncle Yang, why don't I let her come to you in a few days?" Have a meal? ”

Yang Zhaode smiled, "Okay, I also want to talk to her, I have seen Xiaohou's file, it is very good, and the background is also very innocent." ”

Dong Xuebin has a few words as soon as he hears it, and the background is innocent? That is, there is no one above, Comrade Lao Yang wants to pull Hou Jing to him, Lao Yang and his mother have only come to Lu'an City for a long time, multiple help is always good, with the relationship between himself and Hou Jing, it should be easier, Comrade Lao Yang intends to let himself help him pull the strings, Dong Xuebin is naturally willing to serve.

……

Six o'clock.

A hotel in the center of Lu'an.

When Dong Xuebin arrived, Hou Jing was already waiting for him at the door, and Sister Hou had already changed out of her police uniform at this time, and she was also very capable in a windbreaker and trousers.

Dong Xuebin immediately got out of the car to meet him, the current Hou Jing is one level higher than Dong Xuebin, and he is much older than him, it stands to reason that if Hou Jing came early, he would just sit in the hotel and wait for him, so that he would not come out to greet him, it is estimated that her relationship with Lao Yang was known to her, too, the matter was so big at noon, so many people in the family home saw it, even if Hou Jing left, someone would tell her.

"Sister Hou."

"Coming?"

"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

"No, I just arrived."

"Shall we go in? I'm in for a treat today. ”

"Wait a little longer, eh, here."

Dong Xuebin was stunned, is there anyone else? I can't help but glance into a car that just stopped on the side of the road, huh? Isn't this the Vice Mayor Zhou who I just met at noon? There were two other people who got out of the same car, this Dong Xuebin has never seen it, and it seems that they are also cadres from Lu'an City.

Vice Mayor Zhou got out of the car and smiled at Dong Xuebin: "Xiao Dong is here? ”

"Mayor Zhou." Dong Xuebin also said hello.

Hou Jing introduced two other people to Dong Xuebin, "This is Director Liu of the Finance Bureau, and this is President Li of the court." Turning his head and saying, "This is Dong Xuebin Director Dong." ”

Dong Xuebin knew as soon as he heard that these two should be deputies.

Director Liu immediately stretched out his hand to shake him, "Director Dong, I've admired my name for a long time." ”

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "Don't say that, what kind of name do I have, even if I do, I am notorious." ”

Hearing him say this, Hou Jing sneered and laughed, and was amused by Dong Xuebin, and said in his heart that you kid is self-aware.

But Hou Jing has a relationship with Dong Xuebin, and it's okay to do whatever you want, but Director Liu and Dean Li are obviously not good, so they just opened their mouths to come when they opened their mouths, "How come, Director Dong is too modest, just because you and the deeds of sacrificing your life to save people in the earthquake, our court organized and studied for several days at that time." ”

That's really not a compliment.

At that time, Dong Xuebin was buried under the rubble, and everyone thought he was dead, and indeed many units organized work meetings to learn from the martyr Comrade Dong Xuebin, but Dong Xuebin suddenly "lived" later, and this activity of learning from the martyr did not continue.

Everyone was polite for a moment before entering the hotel.

Vice Mayor Zhou is the highest-ranking and naturally sits at the top.

However, as soon as the dinner started, Dong Xuebin found that he was the core of the table, Vice Mayor Zhou answered the phone and left after eating some, leaving Director Liu and Dean Li very enthusiastic about Dong Xuebin, and Hou Jing also frequently drank with Dong Xuebin, drinking one by one. After a while, as soon as the box door opened, a few more cadres who were eating in the box next to them came to toast, and it was very lively.

This scene really made Dong Xuebin not very adaptable, alas, how long has it been since he had eaten this kind of entertainment meal?

In the place where Dong Xuebin worked, many cadres saw him go to eat, and they hurriedly hid away before they got close, and he had experienced this feeling of being surrounded in the middle for a long time.

Of course, Dong Xuebin also knows that most of it is Lao Yang's face.
