When he returned to his room, he first used his phone to tell his relatives and friends that he was safe. Then he took off his clothes, put his phone and the Soul Chasing Stick beside his pillow, and then he fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was completely dark. Fang Yuanyuan was knocking on the door. Fang Yuanyuan knocked on the door and said, "Brother Xiao Bing wants to have dinner with us."
"Oh, I'm up!" Xiao Bing turned over and sat up from the bed. He quickly put on his clothes and the Soul Chasing Stick. Then he walked to the door and opened it. He saw Fang Yuanyuan alone at the door of his room. Fang Yuanyuan's parents and Fang Yi were talking at the door of the next room.
Seeing Xiao Bing, Fang Yuansheng immediately smiled and said, "Did you sleep well?"
"No, actually I'm not sleepy. I just have nothing to do anyway. It's good to rest for a while."
Fang Yuansheng nodded and said, "Then let's go. Zhang Haiyan is waiting in the hall on the first floor!"
Xiao Bing nodded and glanced at Fang Yuanyuan. He said, "Let's go!"
They took the elevator to the first floor. Zhang Haiyan warmly greeted Fang Yuansheng first, and then chatted with Xiao Bing for a while. Then he led everyone out of the hotel. There were two cars parked outside the hotel. Zhang Haiyan smiled and said, "Brother Fang and Deputy Minister Xiao will sit with me. Sister-in-law and the two nieces can sit in the other car."
"Okay!" Fang Yuansheng agreed. They sat down one by one, and then the two cars began to slowly drive out of the hotel.
Zhang Haiyan and the other two sat in the back row. Xiao Bing sat in the middle, and Fang Yuansheng and Zhang Haiyan sat on the left and right.
After they sat in the car, Zhang Haiyan was finally able to sit so close to the dignified deputy minister of the country. He immediately began to flatter him. Zhang Haiyan's flattery was actually quite comfortable. If it was a little more explicit, it would easily make people feel disgusted. If it was a little less subtle, people would not be able to hear it. But now, it was very comfortable to listen to and felt very natural. No one could find anything wrong with it.
Xiao Bing was not disgusted with such a talent. After all, they had been in politics for so many years. And to be able to sit in this position today, they naturally wanted to seize every opportunity to climb up. This was not a mistake. An official had to make decisions for the people, but it was normal for an official to want to be promoted. Napoleon once said that a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier. Just like in a class, the students who competed for the position of the monitor and the commissary in charge must be the better students.
So Xiao Bing did not dislike him, nor did he have a good impression of him. But Xiao Bing still had to be grateful since he was treating him to dinner and accommodation. So he was very polite and perfunctory along the way. He did not put on airs that he could have.
Soon they arrived at the place, and then they had a full meal. Zhang Haiyan had been very enthusiastic, but he did not show it to Xiao Bing. Obviously, he was also a smart man. He knew that he could not put all his eggs in one basket. What's more, if he was too enthusiastic to Xiao Bing, he would offend his former leader, Fang Yuansheng. Since Xiao Bing had that kind of relationship with the Fang family, what was the difference between offending Fang Yuansheng and offending Xiao Bing?
After the feast, Director Zhang personally sent them back to the hotel. Xiao Bing waved his hand at the four Fangs and then walked into the elevator of the hotel.
In the elevator, Fang Yuansheng hesitated a little, but still said, "Actually, my old subordinate … He is a very smart person …"
"I know." Xiao Bing smiled and said, "I think he wants to build a relationship with me. After all, I come from Jingdu, and my position is relatively high. It's easy to do things with someone in the capital. His performance is just right. He won't make me feel annoyed, nor will he make you feel angry. To tell you the truth, this person is quite thoughtful. If one day you do something wrong and end up capsizing, he will definitely cut off all ties with you. He might even hit you when you're down if it's within his capabilities. "
After hearing this, Fang Yuansheng's mother looked at her man with some worry. She meant, "Do you still want to make such a friend? You don't even know when he sells you. "
Fang Yuansheng smiled and said, "It turns out that you have already seen through people so thoroughly. Even I can't see through a person so quickly. I used to think that you have such a high position at such a young age because of your unique skills. It seems that your brain is no worse than that of the old foxes in the political arena!"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It's just observing people's hearts. A person's heart can be judged by his words and deeds, and then other judgments can be made according to the other party's heart. For example, if a person's character is like this, then how will he look at something and how will he deal with it … Since I have seen through it, I want to remind you. But it seems that you have already seen through it. No wonder. He used to be your deputy. How can you not know anything about him?"
Fang Yuansheng said with a smile, "You are right."
At this time, they had already walked out of the elevator together. At this time, there was no one in the corridor, so Fang Yuansheng was relieved and continued, "In fact, I have known him for a long time. But you just said that if I fall, he may turn against me and come directly to trample on me. That is because he wants to draw a clear line between us. To put it bluntly, he wants to protect himself. Since ancient times, I think it is not very kind, but there is nothing wrong with it."
"So, in the political arena, you can't expect others to save you after you fall. You have to find a way to keep yourself from falling. That is called ability." Fang Yuansheng said with a smile, "For so many years, I have refused to accept bribes. I have a clear conscience. I would rather be promoted slowly, but I want to take one step at a time. So I don't care about this."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "It is your family's blessing that you can think this way. The real pillar of the family is not to become rich overnight, but to be able to support this family for a long time and accompany their family. Uncle Fang, you have made me look at you in a new light."
Fang Yuansheng said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment."
At this moment, Fang Yuansheng was also very happy. He knew that he had won Xiao Bing's favor. Of course, what he said was also sincere, or else he would not be moved by Xiao Bing. Of course, he would not accept bribes, nor would he violate the principles of being an official. But it did not mean that he did not want political resources. Just like what Xiao Bing thought before, as long as a person wholeheartedly worked for the country and the people, even if he wanted to climb up, it was normal. A soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier.
Xiao Bing went back to his room to rest. The others also went back to their rooms.
Fang Yuanyuan and Fang Yi slept in a separate room, on a big bed. Both of them were covered with a quilt. Fang Yuanyuan put her hand under her head and asked curiously, "Fang Yi, brother Xiao Bing looks like he is only about 30 years old. Although he is older than us, he is also of the same generation. How can he be so much more mature than us? Look at him at the dinner table tonight. He looks as mature as our father. "
Fang Yi turned around and faced her sister. She thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "That proves that although he is young, his experience is no less than our father's. He might even be more experienced than our father."
"How is that possible?" Fang Yuanyuan said curiously, "If we round up our father's age, he is almost 50 years old. He is at least 10 years older than him. I dare not say that he has eaten more salt than he has eaten rice, but he should be more experienced than him. When our father was at his age … Well, let me think. I was only six or seven years old. If I remember correctly, our mother once said that our father had just entered the municipal bureau from the county. He was young and full of ambition. He offended a lot of people in the bureau."
Fang Yi nodded and said, "Although our father has entered the official career, which the Fang family has never done before, he still inherited the temper of the Fang family. When he was young, he was very short-tempered. If it wasn't for his ability, he wouldn't have been able to hide it even if he wanted to. That's why he was transferred from the police station to the county bureau, and then from the county bureau to the municipal bureau. But he slowly began to change, or else he wouldn't be where he is now."
"Yes. That's why I'm saying that we are the same age. Our father was still an impulsive young man back then. Now he is mature and experienced. Why is there such a big difference?"
Fang Yi couldn't help giggling. "Sister, if our father knew that you were talking about him behind his back and praising others, he would probably die of depression."
"Haha, I'm just telling the truth."
"Yes, it's the truth. But it's funny coming from your mouth."
Fang Yuanyuan widened her eyes and asked, "What's funny?"
"Although I have never seen our father at his most impulsive age, I'm sure he won't be as impulsive as you. Look at your temper. How dare you talk about our father."
"Well, well. You dare to talk about me? Let me teach you a lesson as your sister."
Then, Fang Yuanyuan sat on Fang Yi's body, and the two of them began to laugh and play.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of Xiao Bing's room. Xiao Bing turned over and sat up. He went straight to the door and opened it, only to see a beautiful woman in her early twenties in a see-through dress leaning against the door. She looked at him coquettishly. When she saw that he opened the door, she winked at him and blew him a kiss.
Xiao Bing thought to himself, "What the f * ck, what is this?"
