Evening, 8 pm.
Xie Family's villa.
After Madam Han's birthday banquet, Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Xie Hao was asking Dong Xuebing all sorts of questions in the living room, and Dong Xuebing does not know how to answer him. When he heard Xie Hao's phone ring, he took the opportunity to walk to the window and look at the caller ID. It's Beijing Western District State Security Branch Sixth Bureau's Deputy Chief Old Qian. He answered.
"Hello, Old Qian. It's me."
"Chief Xiao Dong, you can't do this to me."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Old Qian replied. "Don't tell me the Tokyo Museum was robbed because …" Dong Xuebing was speechless.
He cannot admit to it. "I had just read the news. How is this possible? It has nothing to do with me."
If it were someone else, Old Qian would not even think about this. No one is capable of doing this. But Dong Xuebing is different. When he was the Deputy Chief of the General Affairs Office, even the City's State Security knows about him. Old Qian had witnessed Dong Xuebing's miraculous methods more than once. Others might not know about Dong Xuebing, but Old Qian knows about him. It might not be possible for others, but nothing is impossible for Chief Xiao Dong. "You went to Tokyo last night, and the National Museum was burglarized the next afternoon. An hour after that, you flew back to China. This … …"
Dong Xuebing replied innocently. "Old Qian, you are accusing me wrongly. No matter how bold I am, I will not dare to steal someone's National Treasure."
Xie Hao, Xie Jing, and the rest looked at Dong Xuebing and thought to themselves. How can you lie without blinking?
"It's fine as long as it's not you. Chief Xu had also asked about it, and I will explain to him." Old Qian did not say anything else. He is afraid of getting into trouble, as this case is too sensitive.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing was relieved. Fame is the bane of men's existence.
Xie Hao laughed. "Brother-in-law, I just realized you are good at lying. You are not embarrassed at all."
Xie Huilan was sipping her tea on the sofa when she heard Dong Xuebing. "Really? Seems like I need to think about what Xiao Bing said in the past. Maybe he is lying. Haha … "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "No. I am not lying. How can I lie to you?"
Everyone laughed, especially Xie Hao. He was gloating at Dong Xuebing's misfortune.
"Let's go to the room." Xie Huilan stood up and laughed. "I need to interrogate you."
Dong Xuebing knew Xie Huilan was joking and should have something to say to him. He gave Xie Hao a stare and went upstairs to a bedroom with her.
The room was clean and solemn.
After closing the door, Xie Huilan smiled. "This is my bedroom. You can sleep here tonight."
Dong Xuebing got excited and stared at her. "Are you serious? Shall we sleep together? "
"I did not say that. I had stayed here for more than a day, and I still have something to attend to in the County. I will be leaving soon." Xie Huilan looks at her watch. "I will be leaving in 20 minutes."
Well, I was happy for nothing.
Xie Huilan paused for a second and said. "Don't take such risks in the future."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I will try my best to be careful. But it's worth it even if I take the risk for you. It's only stealing a relic, and it's nothing. For you, I am willing to do anything for you." Dong Xuebing felt pressured when he was with Xie Huilan, and he doesn't dare to say such sweet nothings. But he had just done something beautiful, and he got bolder.
Xie Huilan laughed and looked at Dong Xuebing. "You are such a sweet talker."
"I am just saying what I want to say. I …" Before Dong Xuebing could finish, he was kissed by Xie Huilan.
Xie Huilan hugged Dong Xuebing's waist with one hand, and her other hand was in his hair. Her sexy lips landed on Dong Xuebing's lips, and Dong Xuebing was stunned. He had never enjoyed such treatment before. A few seconds later, Xie Huilan opened her mouth slowly, and a long line of saliva came out from her mouth. "Haha … did you eat some fruits just now?" Dong Xuebing asked. "Haha … did you eat some fruits just now?"
Dong Xuebing replied blissfully. "Yes. I ate an apple."
"I was wondering …"
Dong Xuebing got bolder and hugged Xie Huilan. He kissed her forehead and placed his right hand on her slim waist. "You are so skinny."
Xie Huilan laughed. "What's wrong? Do you want me to be more voluptuous? "
"No. It's good to be skinnier."
"Hahaha …" Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "You had made me proud today. I wonder why you are so capable. Huh?" Dong Xuebing was speechless.
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Other than today, I have been embarrassing you?"
"You are quite sensitive. Haha … You have been trying to make me look good. How about this?"
"Yes. But I am afraid your family will think I am too inconsiderate. Although it is morally right for me to steal from them, the law … "Dong Xuebing blinked." Err … will your family have anything against me? "Dong Xuebing asked." Err … will your family have anything against me? "
Xie Huilan laughed and shook her head. "Have you read Water Margin?"
"I have read a little. What's wrong?"
"Emotionally speaking, which character do you like the most?"
"… err …" Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Lu Zhishen?"
Xie Huilan laughed. "That's right. Most people who read Water Margin like this type of 'reckless people'. They might do things without considering the consequences, and they might not use their brains. They might even be silly. But it is this type of people that people like the most."
Dong Xuebing's eyes warmed up. "Do you like them?"
"What do you think? Hahaha … "Xie Huilan looks at her watch." Alright. It's time for me to go. You had caused a huge commotion this time, and don't return to the County. Stay at my Dad's place for a few days, and no one dares to touch you here. Come back after everything is settled. You can apply for leave from the Investment Promotion Agency, ok? "
"Ok. Let me kiss you again."
"Are you addicted to taking advantage of me? Huh? "
Xie Huilan and Xie Huilan kissed for a while before walking downstairs to the villa's living room.
Xie Hao, Xie Jing, Ci Lifen, and the rest are watching TV downstairs. They saw Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing's blushing faces and smiled. They knew they are up to no good.
Xie Huilan is thick-skinned, and her face is not red at all.
Dong Xuebing can't take it anymore, and his face blushes.
… …
At around 8.30 pm, Xie Huilan drove off, and Xie Guoliang and Xie Guojian left the villa with their families.
Dong Xuebing said. "Uncle, Aunty, I will go back too."
Xie Guobang said. "You should be tired. Stay here tonight. Your Aunty had prepared Xie Huilan's bedroom for you." This is the first time Xie Guobang acknowledged Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan's relationship. He had never done this before.
Han Jing laughed and held Dong Xuebing's hand. "You must not leave today. Come and have a chat with me."
"Ok. Sorry to disturb you." Dong Xuebing did not reject her.
Han Jing is overjoyed today. Dong Xuebing had 'snatched' the Buddha statue from Tokyo. He had not only made Xie Huilan proud, but he had also made her proud. Han Jing pulled Dong Xuebing to the sofa and smiled. "Your Second Aunt had been telling me that I had found a good son-in-law. Guoliang and Guojian are also full of praises for you. Haha … Oh, your Uncle had called your Senior, and he asked you to play chess with him when you are free."
Madam Han is very talkative today, and she is using this method to express her gratitude to Dong Xuebing.
Han Jing knew how much risk Dong Xuebing had taken to enter the Museum alone. She felt she had not misjudged Dong Xuebing with just a few words of gratitude.
As they chatted, it was almost 9 pm.
Madam Han suddenly asked. "How's the work there?"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and replied. "It's fine. Everything is on the right track. But there is a lot of work to do this year, and I don't know if we can complete it."
Han Jing nodded and laughed. "I had said I will let you marry Xie Huilan after you are promoted to Deputy Divisional Chief. But you are just promoted to Section Chief, and no matter how good your performance is, it will take some time for you to be promoted to Deputy Divisional Chief. Also, you have never been the leader of a Town before, right? If you want to build a good foundation, you must become a Township Town Leader. You should also take this step before you are promoted to Deputy Divisional Chief. But the time … Huilan is not young anymore. How about this? Xiao Bing, I had not considered you in the past. You two can come back to Beijing to get married and register your marriage. Haha … what do you think? "
What do you think?
That's great!
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. "Ok. I will listen to you."
Han Jing patted Dong Xuebing's hand and turned to Xie Guobang. "Guobang, can I make the decision?"
Xie Guobang, who was reading the newspaper, looked up and nodded.
Dong Xuebing knew Han Jing's test for him to marry Xie Huilan after becoming a Deputy Divisional Chief. But now, he had passed Madam Han and Party Secretary Xie's test. He does not need to be promoted to Deputy Divisional Chief and can still marry Xie Huilan. Dong Xuebing felt the pressure on his shoulders lightened by more than half.
This is a joyous occasion for Dong Xuebing!
Just like what Madam Han said, Dong Xuebing had never worked in a Town before. If he wants to be promoted to Deputy Divisional Chief from the Investment Promotion Agency's Chief, it might not be a problem, but it will be difficult. Dong Xuebing does not have enough experience. Unless he works in the Investment Promotion Agency for three to five years, he might be promoted. But who can wait for three to five years? This is also Dong Xuebing's biggest headache. It has been too long.
But now, Madam Han had solved this problem!
As long as Dong Xuebing can get this year's Investment Promotion Agency and get a transfer to a Town or County Party Committee, he can marry Xie Huilan!
He might not even need a year!
