"Tell me something!" Fang Yang said briskly.

"Today is the ninetieth birthday of Jin Lao, and the family originally arranged for me to celebrate the birthday on behalf of the Han family, but Secretary Fang temporarily had a foreign guest reception task here, and I couldn't leave. I called my father, and he meant to ask you to go in my place. Han Wenhai said.

Jin Lao?

Fang Yang looked in the direction where Xu Qingya and Liu Xinyao had left again, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

Jin Lao is also a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, whose ancestral home is in the old revolutionary base area in the western part of Southeast Province, and he joined the revolutionary ranks at a very young age and fought all the way to the north and south. After the establishment of the Chinese Republic, he was awarded the rank of general, and the highest position was once ranked among the national leaders.

Jin Lao has fought countless battles in his life, and his name is also very distinctive, called Jin Chaji, which itself has a strong revolutionary atmosphere. At that time, he was still a young Jin Lao who fought with the army in the Jinchaji Revolutionary Base Area, and joined the party after a battle.

And because he happened to be surnamed Jin, Rong Shuai, who was the introducer of Jin Lao at that time and one of the later marshals of the republic, jokingly said:

"You just call Jin Chaji!"

So this became the name of Jin Lao's life, and it also became the name that the enemy feared.

Jin Lao is a very nostalgic person.

So after he left, he did not choose to stay in the capital to recuperate, but returned to his hometown of Southeast Province. The organization respects the wishes of Jin Lao, and builds a yard for him in the countryside of his hometown Pingyan City.

Pingam City borders the city of Banyan City, about an hour's drive from the highway. It was now around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qingya and Liu Xinyao were hurriedly driving on the highway, most likely to attend the birthday banquet of the old Jin.

Han Wenhai saw that Fang Yang didn't speak, thinking that he didn't know about Jin Lao's situation. After all, Fang Yang had been living in the countryside before, and it was normal for him to not know much about the upper-class characters.

And yes Han Wenhai says:

"Fang Yang, Jin Lao is an old revolutionary with the same name as his grandfather, and he now lives in Pingyan ......"

"Brother Hai, I know this, you don't need to introduce it." Fang Yang interrupted Han Wenhai's words and said, "But...... It's more than an hour from Banyan City! Now that time is so tight, I don't have time to prepare for the birthday gift......"

Han Wenhai said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry about this, Jin Lao has already explained, all those who go to celebrate their birthdays are not allowed to bring congratulatory gifts, and they must come to the door empty-handed. In fact, according to Jin Lao's wishes, he didn't want to hold any birthday banquet so much, but after all, it was the ninetieth birthday, and the juniors also wanted to do it, and the central government also attached great importance to it, so he reluctantly agreed. ”

Fang Yang reached out and patted his forehead.

How I didn't think of this stubble! Jin Lao is known for his hard work and simplicity, and he is also famous for his principle. When he was in power, he was most opposed to ushering in the send-off, extravagant and wasteful practices. Moreover, many years after retiring, Jin Lao also published an article in the "Huaxia Daily", severely criticizing the practice of some officials using wedding banquets and birthday banquets to make a lot of money.

Such an old revolutionary who adheres to principles will naturally not accept a penny of gift money or any gifts when he holds his own birthday banquet.

"Okay, I see." Fang Yang said, "Brother Dahai, leave it to me!" ”

"Can you find a place?" Han Wenhai asked.

"No problem, I'm just at the entrance of Rongcheng West Expressway now, I'll go directly to the highway, and I won't delay anything." Fang Yang said.

In his previous life, when Fang Yang was working in Rongcheng, he had accompanied Fang Hongda to Pingyan City to visit Jin Lao, so he would definitely not know the road. Moreover, even if the old Jin holds a birthday banquet, even if it is low-key, there will definitely be guests from all over the world to congratulate the birthday, so when the time comes, the local government will definitely arrange personnel at the main intersection or place eye-catching reminder signs, and it is unlikely that they will go the wrong way.

When Han Wenhai heard that Fang Yang was already at the entrance of the expressway, he was immediately relieved. From the highway to Pingyan City, it takes less than one and a half hours at most. Add to that a short stretch of national highway after getting off the highway and you can reach it in two hours.

At this time, Fang Yang heard the low battery alarm sound of the mobile phone, and then remembered that he forgot to charge it at noon, and the mobile phone battery could no longer hold up, so he hurriedly said:

"Brother Dahai, my mobile phone is out of battery here, so I won't tell you more. You can rest assured that the work of Secretary Fang is guaranteed! Just leave this side to me. ”

After saying this, the phone has already turned off automatically.

Fang Yang got into the car and rummaged in the glove box, and found that the car charger was not in the car, so he simply threw the mobile phone that was automatically turned off into the glove box, started the car and drove towards the entrance of the expressway.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Han Wenhai remembered that the invitation to tonight's birthday banquet was still with him!

Han Wenhai hurriedly dialed Fang Yang's phone again.

"The user you dialed is turned off!"

Hearing the mechanical electronic sound on the phone, Han Wenhai felt helpless.

This kid!

The mobile phone is not out of battery in the morning, and it is not out of power in the evening, why is it out of power at this moment? How could he enter the Jin family compound without an invitation?

At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and Xiao Zeng, who was in the secretary's place, pushed the door in and said:

"Han, the comrade who picked up the airport called back, saying that the foreign guests' convoy has gotten off the airport expressway, and it will be about twenty minutes to enter the city, do you see if you report to Secretary Fang, it's time to go to the hotel......

"Okay, I got it!"

Han Wenhai had to leave Fang Yang's affairs aside for the time being and concentrate on his work.

I hope this kid doesn't mess things up......

Han Wenhai thought as he got up and came to the door of Fang Hongda's office and knocked on the door gently.

……

Jinyue Township, Pingyan City.

There is a vast compound at the foot of Mianzhu Peak, which the local people call "Jin Family Compound".

Everyone knows that this compound is inhabited by the largest official in the history of Jinyue Township, Jin Lao.

This old revolutionary, who has been introduced in textbooks, is the pride of the entire Jinyue Township. Even in Pingyan City, the old revolutionary area, Jin Lao is also the number one old general, and many of the generals who went out of Pingyan City are his old subordinates.

However, the people of Jinyue Township will not disturb the tranquility of the Jin Lao, and in fact, the security of the Jin family compound is still very strict. Although Jin Lao did not live in the capital, the security level was still arranged according to the treatment of the national leader, and even exceeded.

For an old general like Jin Lao, the organization has always attached great importance to it.

Therefore, not only has personnel been transferred from the special guard unit in the capital to be responsible for security work here all year round, but an armed police squadron has also been stationed near the compound; in fact, the combat effectiveness of this armed police squadron is much higher than that of ordinary county squadrons, and both equipment and personnel are equipped according to special police standards.

Jin Lao has not been without objections to these organizational arrangements, but on such issues, his opposition is definitely invalid. The veteran generals are the precious wealth of the country, and the organization will not give in to their personal safety.

Since the afternoon today, this usually quiet and tranquil compound has been lively.

Cars with license plates from all over the world have come to this remote foot of the mountain one after another, and adjustment posts have also been arranged at various intersections to be responsible for safety and traffic guidance.

There is a large area of flat loess in front of the Jin family compound, which has been planned out by the staff with lime powder and made into a temporary parking lot.

After Xu Qingya parked the car, she got out of the car with Liu Xinyao.

Her red Regal sedan is particularly eye-catching among the almost all-black Audis.

The two walked towards the gate of the compound together, and Xu Qingya asked as she walked:

"Xin Yao, I heard that you and Fang Yang are working together on a graduation project? Looks like you're on good terms! ”

Faced with Xu Qingya's jokes, Liu Xinyao said angrily:

"What! It was arranged by Mr. Yan, and if I chose it myself, I would rather do it alone! That guy fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, which is simply a burden! ”

In fact, although Fang Yang made very little contribution to the graduation project in the early stage, and he was not very attentive, he was very efficient! And in the limited number of discussions, Fang Yang's views always gave people a feeling of brightness, which made Liu Xinyao feel very inspired.

Of course, Liu Xinyao would definitely not say these words.

"Really?" Xu Qingya obviously didn't believe it, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to, let alone the teacher, even the principal won't dare to force you!" ”

Liu Xinyao didn't pick up the stubble for a long time, and stopped, Xu Qingya looked at her strangely, only to see that she was looking into the distance, revealing a surprised look.

Xu Qingya followed Liu Xinyao's gaze and was taken aback.

I saw a black Audi Q7 off-road vehicle reversing into the parking space, and after parking, Fang Yang, who was dressed casually, pushed the car door and stepped down.

When Fang Yang received a call from Han Wenhai, Xu Qingya and the two had not been on the highway for a long time, so the two cars drove into the parking lot almost front and back.

Fang Yang also saw the two women, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked in front of the two of them with an accelerated pace under his feet.

Liu Xinyao's eyes widened, staring at Fang Yang and asking:

"You're following us?"

Her face was a little unkind.

Fang Yang smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said:

"Miss, you're too relatable...... aren't you?"

"And how do you explain that you're suddenly here?" Liu Xinyao asked coldly.

She knew that Fang Yang definitely had no plans to come to Pingyan City before, otherwise she would have said it when she saw Xu Qingya at the entrance of the expressway. At that time, Fang Yang obviously didn't know the purpose of the two of them getting on the highway.

So in her opinion, the only reason was that Fang Yang followed them.

Xu Qingya gently pulled Liu Xinyao's hand, and then said to Fang Yang:

"Fang Yang, you're also here to celebrate Elder Jin's birthday, right?"

Xu Qingya is obviously not a conspiracy theorist, and she knows that with Fang Yang's identity, it is not a strange thing to appear here, but it is Liu Xinyao's reaction that makes Xu Qingya feel a little strange.

"Sister Qingya still understands things!" Fang Yang stroked his heart exaggeratedly and said, "If you weren't here, I wouldn't be able to get rid of this injustice today!" ”

"How can it be so exaggerated?" Xu Qingya pursed her lips and smiled.

Liu Xinyao snorted coldly, still looking disbelieving. And seeing that Fang Yang and Xu Qingya were talking happily, they showed even more vigilant eyes.

Fang Yang directly ignored Liu Xinyao's sharp gaze, and turned to Xu Qingya and said:

"As soon as I sent you on the highway, Brother Dahai called me, he couldn't come for something temporary, so I kicked him for a run...... I knew that we wouldn't have to drive two cars, a waste of resources! ”

At this time, a voice from behind the three of them couldn't help but feel disgusted:

"Qingya, you're here!"
