Royal Family Hotel.
There was some unhappiness with a piece of luggage.
Hou Wen's father had scolded Hou Wen's mother in front of many people.
But Dong Xuebing did not think much of it. Although Hou Wen's mother did not look at Dong Xuebing at the airport and on the bus, she is his classmate's mother. Dong Xuebing is close to Hou Wen, and he does not mind. Just like what Xie Huilan had said, Hou Wen's mother is Dong Xuebing's elder, and he should address her as Auntie.
Mayor Wang pretended not to see anything.
Madam Hou was embarrassed. She clenched her teeth for a moment and loosened them. She forced a normal expression and said, "Give me the luggage."
Dong Xuebing did not agree. "It's fine, Auntie."
Hou Wen's mother stepped forward. "It's not suitable. Auntie, you can carry it yourself."
"It's fine." Dong Xuebing still did not give it to Hou Wen. "I will bring it upstairs for you later."
Xie Huilan added. "Sister-in-law, don't stand on ceremony with him. My husband might not be good, but he is strong. Haha … just let him carry it."
Hou Wen's mother quickly replied. "How can we do this?"
Xie Huilan could not win against Dong Xuebing and looked at Hou Wen's father.
Hou Wen's father saw Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan did not mind and was relieved. But he does not dare to be rude to Dong Xuebing. He reached out for his wife's luggage. "You also need to go upstairs to put your luggage down." After saying that, he threw the luggage to Hou Wen.
Hou Wen saw Dong Xuebing's luggage and took it with him.
Dong Xuebing shook his head and did not say anything.
Xie Huilan looks at her watch. "The car is not here yet? It should be here soon. "
"It should be soon. They should be preparing." Mayor Wang replied.
Xie Huilan laughed. "Then I will go upstairs with my husband to put down my luggage and will come down later. Mayor Wang, Hou Wen, Sister-in-law, see you later."
Dong Xuebing replied. "We will leave first."
Hou Wen's father immediately asked. "Mr. Dong, are you going to the development zone for research?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I will not be going. I had an appointment with Hou Wen to go out in the afternoon."
"Why don't we have dinner tonight?" Father Hou probed.
Haha … it's been a long time since we met, and I think we should talk about our university days. I don't think you and Aunty will like to hear it. Anyway, we will be staying in Macau for a few days. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine. "Dong Xuebing thought for a while.
Father Hou nodded. "Alright, I'll treat you when the time comes."
Dong Xuebing knew Hou Fu wants to compensate for his wife. But in his heart, he felt there is no need to do so. It's not a big deal, and I am not magnanimous enough. Yes. Sometimes, Dong Xuebing might not be magnanimous, but he will still respect his good friend's parents. But seeing Hou Fu's reaction, Dong Xuebing did not say anything. It might make him look bad.
After chatting for a while, they walked towards the elevator. Ding! The elevator doors opened, and they disappeared from the lobby.
Over here.
Mayor Wang's subordinates were waiting for him outside, so he went out as well.
Only Hou Fu, Hou Wen, and Hou Fu are left in the lobby.
"Take your things and go upstairs!" Looking at Hou Mu's mother, Hou Mu's father's expression was not very good. He went to press the elevator first.
Hou Fu's mother is also furious and does not understand why Old Hou is so angry today. She took a suitcase from her son and went upstairs with him. Hou Wen blinked. He also does not understand what is going on, but he did not ask anything. He knows he will get an answer later. This is a hotel lobby, and there are too many people around. His father will not explain to them here.
… …
Upstairs.
A business suite.
Mother Hou was the last to enter the house. She threw her suitcase aside and angrily closed the door. Well, it might be more accurate to say that she slammed the door. Bang! It made a lot of noise. Hou Wen was shocked. Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel, he didn't say anything. He didn't usually get involved in this kind of thing. He pretended not to see it and went to the living room to sit. In fact, he had been listening to them. He was also very confused.
Why is his father so polite to his classmate?
Why is Mayor Wang so respectful to his classmate?
Even if he is the City's Party Secretary's husband, he should not be so polite. He should at least respect the City's Party Secretary. Family members should be the second priority, and now it is the other way around?
Hou Fu's mother slammed the door angrily.
But Hou Fu is even angrier than her. He turns and points at her. "You are still slamming the door? Ah? You have a bad temper? Who are you trying to show off?! "
Hou Fu's mother stared at him. "Why are you shouting at me?!"
Hou Fu shouted. "If I don't shout at you, who should I shout at?! I think I had spoiled you too much in the past! That's why you have such a bad temper! "
Hou Fu's mother felt wronged. "There are so many people here! Old Wang and many leaders from your province are here! Why are you scolding me in the lobby?! "
"Who else are you talking about?!" Hou Fu replied.
Hou Fu's mother replied angrily. "I only asked Xiao Wen to help me carry my bag! But I am not the one who asked him to carry it! You can ask Xiao Wen yourself! It's his classmate who came over to help me! What's wrong with me? Ah? What's wrong with me? I also don't know he is Xie Huilan's man! "
Hou Fu stared at Hou Fu. "You think you are in the right? What do you know?! "
I know Xuebing is now the City's Party Secretary's husband, but you don't know about my relationship with Xuebing. We were best buddies in university, and I was carrying a piece of luggage with me. Xuebing was only carrying a small bag, and it's normal for him to help me. When I went to his house for dinner, I had also carried Xuebing's mother's luggage and cooked instant noodles for Aunt Luan and Xuebing. Also, my mother had said that I also did not know Xuebing had married Party Secretary Xie at that time. Hmm … Party Secretary Xie did not say anything about it, and you are the one who got angry. "Hou Wen said.
Hou Fu gave his son a stare. "You are just like your mother! What do you all know?! You all should use your brains! Your classmate is the family of a government official! Mayor Wang and I don't need to do this! At least your Uncle Wang and I are from the main hall! Our ranks are not lower than Secretary Xie! "
Hou Fu's mother was stunned. "If he is not the family of a government official, who is he?"
Hou Fu looked at Hou Wen. "Did your classmate tell you what his occupation is?"
"I had told you he is a Civil Servant." Hou Wen blinked. "What's wrong?"
Hou Fu replied. "There are too many Civil Servants! I am also a Civil Servant! Did he tell you what his occupation is? "
Hou Wen paused for a second. "He told me Xie Huilan is his wife, but my mother and I don't believe him. We thought he is joking, and I did not ask him about his occupation. Xuebing is the same as me. We had just graduated two to three years ago, and what else can he do? Could he be holding an important position? My position in a state-owned enterprise is still better. I just need to use my connections to get promoted faster. But his position in the government needs to take one step at a time. There are so many pairs of eyes watching him. 3 years should only be enough for him to be promoted. At most, he will be a Deputy Section Chief. I think he might be a Section Chief. Errr … I also felt Xuebing is just a normal Section Chief. Is he not? Dad, what's wrong with you? "
Hou Fu laughed. "Section Chief?"
Mother Hou could tell that something was wrong. She couldn't be bothered to be angry with her husband anymore. She lowered her voice and asked, "Old Hou, what's the matter?"
Hou Wen's father replied. "You almost got me into trouble!"
Hou Wen's mother asked anxiously. "What happened? Tell me!"
"That's right, Dad." Hou Wen replied. "Just tell me."
Hou Fu took a deep breath. "Do you know about the incident in Xiaxing City a few days ago?"
Hou Wen's mother replied. "I heard about it, but I did not hear it clearly. What happened?"
Hou Fu replied. "It's the person who carried your luggage. He is Xiao Wen's classmate. A Provincial Leader led a team to Xiaxing City for an inspection, and he scolded him. Do you know what happened in the end? The Provincial Leader did not continue with the inspection and left. Deputy Governor Jia was supposed to lead the team, but what happened now? He is not feeling well and did not come! Section Chief?! Have you seen any Section Chief scolding someone from the Provincial Leader for a long time, and the other party dares not to talk back?! "
Hou Wen's mother was shocked. "What?"
Hou Wen was also stunned. "Are you serious?!"
"It's nothing!" Hou Wen's father replied. "This incident had been exposed! The hubbub was right there! Everyone in the Provincial Government knows about this! "
Hou Wen replied. "Now that you mention it … I think I had heard about this incident before, but I did not ask about it."
Hou Wen's mother quickly asked. "Old Hou, what does that Dong Xuebing do?"
Hou Wen's father replied. "You all are really something. Why didn't you all think about how many people want to marry Secretary Xie? She is a beautiful and young City Party Secretary. How many people are worthy of her? But why did she marry Xiao Wen's classmate? If Xiao Wen's classmate does not have any capabilities! Do you all think it's possible? Stupid! Can't you tell from Old Wang and my attitude?! I scolded you, and you are still unwilling?! You even stare at me?! Let me tell you! If I did not express my stance! I will be at loggerheads with you! "
Hou Wen shouted. "Dad! Tell me! "
Hou Wen's father took a deep breath. "Your classmate is very powerful now. He might be about the same age as you, but he is now a Divisional Chief of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Eighth Supervision Office. He can even investigate the Provincial Leader's assets with just a few words. After getting the approval documents, he has the authority to investigate the Provincial Leader!" After saying that, he looks at Hou Wen's mother. "You still want him to carry your luggage for you? Why don't you ask the Provincial Leader to wash your clothes?! "
Hou Wen was shocked. "Divisional Chief? Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?! "
Hou Wen's mother was also shocked. "I … I don't know!"
