Afternoon.
It's 3 pm.
Hotel bathroom.
Ring … ring … ring … Fang Wenping's number appeared on Dong Xuebing's phone. He pulled up his pants and answered.
"Hello?" Fang Wenping asked.
"What's up?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Fang Wenping replied coldly. "Are you done with your work?"
"Almost. What's wrong? Director Fang?" Dong Xuebing asked. "Do we have any work to do? Go and look for Luo Haiting first. I still have some things to settle and will not be able to return to work in the afternoon. Let Director Luo handle the 2nd Public Security Bureau's work. "
Fang Wenping asked. "Are you not going to care about Qianqian?"
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "I almost forgot. Errr … is Qianqian alright?"
Suddenly, Xiao Qianqian's cries could be heard. "Daddy! Daddy! "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Ah … my dear … are you missing me? Hehe, Daddy has a little situation here, so I can't go back for the time being. Daddy has a friend who wants to enter the entertainment industry, but he was bullied by someone's company. Daddy is dealing with it now. Be good and listen to Auntie Fang. Tonight, Daddy will definitely go to Auntie Fang's house to pick you up before seven or eight o 'clock.
Fang Wenping replied. "You are not going to care about Qianqian?"
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "I have something urgent to attend to. Help me take care of Qianqian."
"You think I have nothing to do?" Fang Wenping asked. "You are a subordinate, and you dare to order me around?"
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. "Just this once. Thank you. I really have something to attend to. Errr … if you really don't want to look after Qianqian, you can ask Luo Haiting to fetch Qianqian. I will look for her to fetch Qianqian at night. Furthermore, I had taken care of you the last time you were drunk. I washed your clothes, poured you water, and even cooked for you. I did not say anything when you vomited all over me. Qianqian likes you, and you can help me look after her. We are even now. "
Fang Wenping paused for a while. "When are you coming?"
"I'll definitely be at your house before 8 pm." "That's why you can bring Qianqian home after work. Oh, don't feed her too much meat. She is still young, and she should not eat too much. You should also buy some diapers. I will repay you later."
Fang Wenping said coldly, "Is there a need to go through so much trouble to deal with an entertainment company? Isn't Ci Lifen the leader of the SARFT? " She had overheard Dong Xuebing's conversation with her daughter and knows about the Xie family and the Fang family's political enemies.
"I'm dealing with it. It's not over yet."
"Alright, alright, I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you!"
"Anyway, I will leave Qianqian to you." Dong Xuebing hung up and thought to himself.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing snorted and thought to himself. You like Qianqian so much that you can't wait for me to not fetch the kids. You are still pretending. You are too hypocritical. You just want to repay the favor you owe me last time. Never mind. I will not lower myself to your level. It's been a while since I met my old classmate, and he still needs to reminisce about his youth. Dong Xuebing does not have time to look after the kids, and he can only let Fang Wenping look after the kids. Dong Xuebing might not like this old woman, but he is not worried about her.
… …
Outside.
At the entrance of the private room.
When Dong Xuebing walked over, Manager Zhou's company's people were waiting for him. Chen Ying was standing by the side with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Dong." Manager Zhou greeted Dong Xuebing warmly. "There are no high-class restaurants nearby, and we do not have time to prepare. Please forgive us."
Dong Xuebing nodded and did not say anything.
Manager Zhou said. "I'm sorry for what happened today."
Another company's senior management added. "We are the ones who are blind."
"Mr. Dong, please don't be calculative with us." Another senior management said.
Dong Xuebing will not fuss over this. To him, this matter is already settled, and he is not in the mood to care about this. He only wants to chat with Chen Ying. He had met his university and high school classmates over the past few years, but he still has not met his primary school classmates. Dong Xuebing still has some good friends from his primary school, but he does not know what his friends are doing now. That's why he has no time to talk to them.
Manager Zhou saw Dong Xuebing has no intention to chat with them and said. "Then we will not disturb you. It's been a while since you and Chen Ying met. Go ahead and chat."
"Mr. Dong, we will take our leave."
Everyone in the company said goodbye to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand nonchalantly and sent them off.
At this time, only Dong Xuebing and Chen Ying were left in the corridor. Dong Xuebing smiled. "Chen Ying, shall we go to a cafe for a chat?"
Chen Ying paused for a second. "Let's go to your house."
"My house?" Dong Xuebing was surprised, but he did not think too much about it. They are old classmates, and it's normal to go over for a chat. "Sure."
Chen Ying asked. "My car is limited today. What about you?"
"It's fine. I have a car, and it's parked outside their company. Let's go and get it." Dong Xuebing did not say anything and walked out with Chen Ying. As they walked, he asked. "How are our old classmates? Are you still in contact with them? Da Kai, Zhang Lei, and the rest? "
Chen Ying laughed. "I don't know about Da Kai and had never contacted him. But I had met Zhang Lei a few years ago. It was after I finished filming my first TV series. He recognized me from the TV and got my manager's number. My wife and I had dinner with him before."
Dong Xuebing asked. "What is he doing?"
"He is working in IT. I did not ask him about the details." Chen Ying replied.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Zhang Lei had liked you since primary school. Everyone in class knows about this. Is he trying to woo you?"
Chen Ying laughed. "I am not sure. But I had brought my husband along."
"Alright. That Zhang Lei must be heartbroken." Dong Xuebing was happy to talk about this. "Who else are you in contact with? I did not contact anyone as there is no mobile phone at that time. I can't find anyone for dinner in the future. "
Chen Ying asked. "Do you still remember Xiao Pang?"
"Xiao Pang? Oh, that girl who is close to you? "Dong Xuebing remembered.
Chen Ying nodded. "Xiao Pang has been in contact with me. Now, he had opened his own clothing store."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are doing well. Xiao Pang is not that outstanding among the followers. I even forgot what her name is."
Chen Ying looked at Dong Xuebing. "She is still not doing as well as you. You are the most successful among all the students in primary school. You are just 26 or 27 years old, and you are already a Divisional level leader. You are the one that everyone envies. None of us can compete with you."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Don't flatter me. I am just lucky. I still think I am not as good as you, a celebrity. You are so free."
Chen Ying waved her hand. "What do you mean by free? Sigh … it is not easy to survive in any industry."
As they chatted, they reached the entrance of Hongye Company. Dong Xuebing pressed the key and boarded his Land Rover under Chen Ying's gaze.
"This is your car?"
"Yes. Come in."
"Your company pays so much?"
"It's not my salary. I had won the lottery before, and I am slightly rich."
"But this car … I heard it is worth at least a few million."
"I had only bought one number when I bought the lottery and won a few dozen bets. So …"
Chen Ying was speechless. She looked at Dong Xuebing and got into the front passenger seat. "You are now a government official and rich. Sigh … I am so envious of you."
"Alright. I am not doing as well as you think. It is just like what you said. It is not easy to survive in any industry." Dong Xuebing replied. "I have too many troubles."
"You are right."
"Haha … let's go."
"Are you drunk? Do you want me to drive? "
"It's fine. I can hold my liquor well, and I will be fine."
Dong Xuebing drove back to his quarters. But when he was about to make a turn on the side road, he saw a drunk driving checkpoint in front of him. A few officers' cars were parked there, and every car passing by was stopped by the officers. The drivers were asked to take a whiff of the breathalyzer.
Chen Ying quickly said. "Change to me!"
"Didn't you also drink?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"I had drunk less than you, and you are from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. After all …" Chen Ying was considerate of Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing did not agree. "The Police are watching, and I can't change to you. It's fine. Even if I drink, it is the same as not drinking."
Chen Ying was still nervous.
But when the officers saw Dong Xuebing's car number plate and the Beijing Party Committee Residence Pass, they were stunned. They did not even stop their car and let them pass.
One of the officers even saluted Dong Xuebing as he walked past them.
Dong Xuebing rolled down the window and nodded to them. "Thank you." He closed the window and drove off.
Some of the drivers were still complaining. Why can their cars pass without being checked? They have to queue up one by one.
The traffic policeman did not answer. He thought to himself that if the driver could get a license plate with the number "Jing 6666" and a pass to the Standing Committee Family Quarters, they would not stop him. These traffic policemen were professionals on the road. They knew the car, the license plate, and the pass at a glance. Actually, even if the driver was stopped, it would not be easy for them to deal with him even if he had alcohol in his blood. That was because they could tell that the driver was not an ordinary person, so they simply let him go.
The Land Rover continued to drive.
Chen Ying saw this and was impressed by Dong Xuebing. She knows her old classmate is no longer the same as before.
