Xiao Bing didn't say much after that, mainly because he accidentally stirred up a sad mood, so Xiao Bing closed his eyes and took a nap along the way.
After more than two hours, the plane stopped and they got off the plane. It was already past two o 'clock in the afternoon. Fang Yuansheng said, "Xiao Bing, are you tired? If not, let's catch another bus. It will probably take more than two hours. Then we will go to a county and find a hotel to stay in. But the conditions of the hotels down there are definitely not as good as the ones in the city. "
Xiao Bing was about to say that he was not tired, but his mother hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, we won't arrive until tomorrow. Why don't we stay in the city tonight and then go on the road tomorrow morning? We can still arrive in the afternoon. The most important thing is that Xiao Bing will come with us, and you will go to the county to entertain him. "
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Auntie, it doesn't matter. There is nothing wrong with the county."
Fang Yuansheng said, "Your auntie is thoughtful. Yes, yes, we will stay in the city first. And we will continue to travel today, so time is a little tight. I will ask my friend to help me book a hotel first. Let's settle down in the hotel first, then have a good meal in the evening and have a good night's rest. I think we will arrive at the place tomorrow afternoon."
Hearing Fang Yuansheng's words, Xiao Bing no longer refused. He nodded and said, "Then I will listen to your arrangement."
"Okay." Fang Yuansheng took out his mobile phone and made a phone call. Then he asked the person on the phone to book a hotel and three rooms immediately. After the arrangements were made, he put away his mobile phone and said with a smile, "When I worked in the local government, I used to work here. I used to be the director of the Public Security Bureau here. At that time, some colleagues were promoted, some were transferred, and some stayed here. My deputy was already the director of the city's Public Security Bureau."
Xiao Bing nodded. This was normal. After entering the official career, it was equivalent to entering a circle. No matter which city you had worked in, it was equivalent to expanding your circle of contacts. Then in the future, some of these people would be promoted, some would fall, and some would continue to contribute in their original positions. At the critical moment, this circle would play a great role.
Fang Yuansheng said, "Let's go, we can go now."
"Okay." Xiao Bing agreed.
They began to walk into the subway station and took the subway.
While walking, Fang Yuansheng said, "This time, I didn't tell anyone that I came here. Otherwise, they would have driven here to pick me up. The most important thing is that if they knew what I came here for this time, it's not a big deal to book a hotel for me. I just told my friend not to tell anyone, and he knows that I'm busy this time, so he won't disturb me. He's very tight-lipped, but if too many people know that it's my grandpa's birthday …"
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "If you let them know, I'm afraid they will come to give you gifts. Many people who are close to you will come to give you gifts. Those who don't have much relationship with you will also try their best to give you gifts. You can't accept them. If you don't accept them, you will offend them and make them panic."
"Yes, that's it." Fang Yuansheng sighed and said, "It's not easy to live in the world. There are too many corrupt people now, but in the current environment, the country doesn't allow those parasites to exist. My family is not short of money. My wife's family is doing business. Later, when my family got old, they handed the business to my wife to manage. I never asked about it, so my wife is basically the main person in the family. I just work hard."
"Okay." Xiao Bing said, "As an official, you really need to pay more attention, be diligent, and more importantly, be honest."
"Yes, honesty and ability are equally important. The more capable a parasite is, the more harm he will do to the country in the end." Fang Yuansheng and Xiao Bing had a lot to talk about in this aspect. But when they got on the subway, they stopped talking. There were too many people here, and sometimes it was not convenient to talk, and it was easy to expose their identities.
They did not talk much along the way. After they got out of the subway, they found the hotel. When they walked to the lobby of the hotel, they saw a man in a suit in his forties walking quickly toward them. As soon as he saw Fang Yuansheng, he reached out his hand and said excitedly, "Director Fang … I've been waiting for you."
Fang Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reached out his hand and shook hands with him. He whispered, "Didn't I say you don't have to come? You are a busy man now."
It turned out that this man was Fang Yuansheng's former deputy, the current director. A guard followed closely behind this man. Xiao Bing glanced at him and found that he was a master in the transforming strength stage, and he should be carrying a gun.
The man smiled and said, "Since you are here, I have to meet you."
"Well, then let's not be polite to each other. Since you call me Director Fang, should I call you Director Zhang? Director Zhang is more senior than me. Don't you think it's too polite? "
"Haha, hahaha, there are people around, so we are just being polite."
Fang Yuansheng introduced, "This is my old colleague, Zhang Haiyan, now the director of the Public Security Bureau here."
Zhang Haiyan smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. Oh, my two nieces are getting more and more beautiful. And this is … is this …"
Zhang Haiyan was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Xiao Bing felt a little helpless. He was still recognized. They did not know each other, but Xiao Bing was now a big shot at the level of the deputy minister of the state, and the man was the head of the public security system. How could he not recognize him? Although they had not met before, he had already firmly remembered his appearance.
Since he had already recognized him, Xiao Bing would not deliberately hide it. So he reached out and said, "Hello, I am Xiao Bing."
"So it is Director Xiao …"
Xiao Bing added, "Deputy minister."
Zhang Haiyan shook hands with Xiao Bing excitedly and said in fear, "I didn't know that the deputy minister was also here. Brother Fang, this is your fault. You didn't remind me. I am a little nervous now."
Fang Yuansheng said with a wry smile, "Why should I remind you? Did I tell you in advance that the deputy minister came with me? I didn't intend to let you come, but you came by yourself … "
Zhang Haiyan laughed and said, "This is an unexpected gain. Deputy Minister Xiao, I have a chance to get to know you today. I will treat you tonight. Let's have a drink. "
Xiao Bing did not refuse. He smiled and nodded. At this time, it was a little embarrassing to refuse, which was not good.
Fang Yuansheng was worried that Xiao Bing would be unhappy. Seeing Xiao Bing agree, he was relieved.
Zhang Haiyan looked very happy and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go. Let's hand in our ID cards and register. I have booked the best room for you. Rest at night is more important than anything else. But don't worry, I know Brother Fang's character, so I didn't book a presidential suite. "
Seeing that Zhang Haiyan was handling it personally, the staff at the front desk was very enthusiastic for a moment. They quickly registered and handed the room card to Zhang Haiyan. Zhang Haiyan distributed the room card to each of them and said, "You go back and have a rest. I will go to the hotel and then drive over to pick you up."
"Okay." Fang Yuansheng reminded, "Don't be too extravagant!"
"I know, I know. It's just a normal reception. Don't worry, I will pay for it myself. There is no need for reimbursement!"
Zhang Haiyan had just walked a few steps when he suddenly waved to Fang Yuansheng and said, "Brother Fang, I want to talk to you."
Fang Yuansheng nodded. He had already guessed it, so he walked over. The two gradually walked away. After making sure that the other side could not hear them, Zhang Haiyan lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fang, aren't you going back to your hometown? Why did the deputy minister come with you …"
Fang Yuansheng hesitated for a moment. It was not easy to explain, so he told the truth, "It's not because of me. It's mainly because of my daughter …"
Zhang Haiyan's eyes lit up and he smiled mysteriously, "I get it, I get it …"
Fang Yuansheng coughed, "Ahem, it's not what you think."
"Haha, brother, you don't need to explain. I understand. I will definitely keep my mouth shut about this. You go back and have a rest. I will go to the hotel. Haha … I really have to congratulate you, brother. It's really a happy occasion!"
Zhang Haiyan did not wait for Fang Yuansheng to explain and quickly walked out of the hotel. Fang Yuansheng smiled bitterly and thought to himself, "It seems that Zhang Haiyan really misunderstood. But it is not easy to explain."
Zhang Haiyan's eyes lit up as he walked out of the hotel. He was a little excited and said to himself, "Fortunately, I had a good relationship with Brother Fang. I am indebted to him. Now that he has gone to the capital to be an official, I thought that he would be promoted to the deputy minister in less than ten years. I must cling to this big tree. I didn't expect it to be beyond my imagination. The dignified deputy minister of the Ministry of National Security has a chance to become his son-in-law. This is too scary … Now Brother Fang's value is probably greater than the head of the public security system!"
Zhang Haiyan took a deep breath and said to herself, "My future is all tied to Big Brother Fang. It seems that I still have to hold on to this big tree and can't let go. Also, I can't let anyone know about this, only I know …"
Zhang Haiyan's mouth showed a trace of pride.
