Chapter 172: Strange Humans and Ghosts (3)
Hou Yiying recently feels that every time she thinks that she still has the task of intelligence analysis of Southeast Asia's economic trend not being completed, she feels that her head is big.
She even thought about it frantically whether she wanted to take a leave of absence for a while to avoid the repeated urging of her boss.
"Ah, after you reminded me of this, I thought about it again." He Kuishan said, "The director said that the induction and collation of the intelligence analysis of Southeast Asia's economic trend is related to the country's strategic consideration of the construction of foreign-related economic corridors, and the above is very close. ”
"Assigning this kind of nonsensical work to us is to find the wrong person." Hou Yiying said dissatisfied.
She kept her face down and stopped talking, and gathered the prints in front of her together.
He Kuishan, who was about to leave, noticed Xiong Jiandong's picture in a glance. He took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and asked with a surprised face, "Where did you dig this guy up?" ”
"You know him?" Hou Yiying asked.
"His name is Xiong Jiandong, a native of Huai City, and he was my comrade-in-arms back then." He Kuishan thought.
"Yes, yes!" Hou Yiying was pleasantly surprised, "This guy is called Xiong Jiandong!" ”
He Kuishan recalled: "Many years ago, when I was an instructor in the Marine Corps, he served as a deputy battalion commander and was a comrade-in-arms for seven or eight years. I remember that he was ordered by the brigade headquarters to discharge early because of his disciplinary violations!"
"So you haven't seen each other since!" Hou Yiying asked again, "I don't know the news that he has died?" ”
"Xiong Jiandong has been sacrificed? I haven't heard of it before. He Kuishan replied, "It's just that a few years ago, other comrades-in-arms mentioned that he had been promoted to deputy director of the local police station. By the way, didn't you just come back from Huaishi, haven't you come into contact with him there? ”
"It's been a few meetings." Hou Yiying said, "I also accidentally found Xiong Jiandong's traces this morning, it turns out that he is not dead, and he has now arrived in the capital." It's just that at the moment, I haven't figured out his condition. ”
"It seems that the rumors are wrong!" He Kuishan said with a smile, "I haven't seen him for many years, the strange thing is that this guy hasn't changed at all, he still looks like he was young, and he really looks heroic!" ”
Hou Yiying waited for the director to continue.
He Kuishan carefully looked at the picture in his hand, touched his bare head, and said with feeling: "Look at me again, my hair has almost been plucked out by the years, and I look like an old man!" ”
However, Hou Yiying did not plan to tell He Kuishan all the circumstances related to Xiong Jiandong now.
However, she still told He Kuishan that once there was news of Xiong Jiandong, she would notify the director as soon as possible, so that the two old comrades-in-arms would have a chance to meet.
When it was time to get off work, she was about to go to her boyfriend Wang Xiyao's date dinner as scheduled, when the Haidian District Police Department called and reported that there was already information about Xiong Jiandong.
The car wash where Xiong Jiandong does odd jobs is in a small remote alley in Zhongguancun.
According to the image fax provided by Hou Yiying, the police officer quickly found the person he was looking for.
According to Hou Yiying's instructions, they did not immediately alarm Xiong Jiandong, but had already quietly filmed the scene when he was working, and they would send it through the internal mailbox after a while, and she would confirm whether there was a mistake.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Hou Yiying received the image of Xiong Jiandong at work on the computer.
In the picture, a young man is bent over, his hands diligently waxing a car, and the whole image lasts about five minutes. Although it was getting late, the picture quality was not very clear, and it was a long-distance shooting, Hou Yiying had already concluded that this young man must be Xiong Jiandong who had reappeared secretly.
"I didn't think he would really become a car washer!"
Hou Yiying let out a sigh in her heart and shook her head involuntarily.
It was already past six o'clock when I left the office. It was the rush hour of the traffic jam, Hou Yiying drove for a long time, and grabbed the road a few times before driving into Zhongguancun Street and finding the mutton restaurant.
She had already calculated on the road, and the first thing she did after eating with her boyfriend Wang Xiyao was to find the car wash by the way, and be sure to see Xiong Jiandong.
The hot pot restaurant is located on the fifth floor of a building, and below it is a shopping mall.
Coming out of the elevator, Hou Yiying found that this lamb hot pot restaurant, probably because of the good business, also made use of the sixth floor of the building, and built a spiral staircase connected by two floors through internal renovation and decoration.
Wang Xiyao had been here early.
He was upstairs on a windowsill and booked a place for the two of them. As soon as he saw Hou Yiying appear, he immediately ran over like a gust of wind and greeted her.
On the seat, a large bouquet of roses brought by Wang Xiyao was already placed. In his opinion, this is an indispensable etiquette every time Hou Yiying meets.
Although Wang Xiyao and Hou Yiying grew up in the same military compound and studied in the same class from elementary school to junior high school, their family backgrounds are very different.
His father was a clerk in the company to a regimental staff officer, and for more than 20 years, he relied on his diligent mouth and fast legs, and his writing was very good, so he won the special favor of Hou Yiying's father and was able to follow him to serve all the time. Mother is a nurse, and she is very affectionate to the Hou family, going to the chief every once in a while to measure blood pressure, send supplements, and take care of such complicated and trivial things as the Hou family has to pay water bills, electricity bills, and even laundry and drying quilts.
The young Wang Xiyao already longed for the lively and beautiful Hou Yiying, and secretly swore that she would not marry when she grew up.
He knew that his family background could not be compared, so he studied hard until he became a postdoctoral fellow in physics at HKUST.
Now, Wang Xiyao has entered a cutting-edge National Institute of Physics.
Hou Yiying's parents watched Wang Xiyao grow up by their side, seeing that this child had been gentle and polite since he was a child, and now he has achieved great academic results, and he is expected to be not an engineering academician in the future, but also a scientific expert in a certain field, but he fell in love with him for his daughter first.
When questioning Hou Yiying's attitude, he didn't say it was good, and he didn't say it bad, it seemed that he acquiesced.
Later, Wang Xiyao once asked Hou Yiying why she was willing to associate with him. Hou Yiying thought about it for a long time, and then came up with an answer that made him feel a stomachache every time he thought about it.
"That's because I've always felt that the name Wang Xiyao is quite good!"
Wang Xiyao, who was afraid that her relationship with Hou Yiying would be stranded, began to dare not be careless since she returned to the capital on a mission in Huai City. Every time he met Hou Yiying, he had to give a large bouquet of flowers.
Because he has heard people say: a woman's emotions are changing rapidly, and only by relying on the spikes of roses can she firmly hook her heart!
The business of this shabu-shabu restaurant is really lively, and the seats upstairs are almost full. The two of them waited for more than ten minutes before the waiter brought the hot pot soup.
"Ying!" Wang Xiyao's eyes shone behind the lenses, "My parents want to ask for your opinion, when can we get engaged?" ”
He diligently served a prepared sauce to Hou Yiying.
