"Miss Yu, is there any news?" Chen Xing had a smile on his face.
"A little. Is it convenient to meet at noon?" Yu Liting said on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I definitely have time here." Chen Xing heard Yu Liting's words were just as he had guessed, and the smile on his face immediately became wider.
Raising his hand to look at the time, Chen Xing said, "Miss Yu, it's almost noon now. Why don't we have lunch together?
Forget about lunch. Let's still meet at the cafe where we met yesterday. I will ask for an hour's leave and get off work early. I will meet you later. " Yu Liting didn't want to contact Chen Xing for too long, so she refused Chen Xing's invitation to have lunch together.
They agreed on a place and didn't talk much. Yu Liting said "Goodbye" and hung up the phone in a hurry. Chen Xing was stunned for a moment with the phone in his hand. After feeling the distance in Yu Liting's words, Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Their identities were really unpopular. Most people in the system were afraid of them. Even if they didn't hate them, they were afraid of getting into trouble.
"Leader, what's wrong?" Tan Wenlan saw Chen Xing shaking his head, so she walked up and asked.
"Xiao Qin, don't you think the inspection team is too annoying?" Chen Xing smiled.
"How can it be? The masses like us very much. In my opinion, it's those corrupt officials who hate us. They are just a small part of people."
"You're right. The masses like us, and that's enough. The purpose of our party is to serve the people wholeheartedly. Whatever we do, we should not feel guilty for the people."
"Well, leader, you're right. Your theoretical level is high, and your awareness is also high." Tan Wenlan flattered him with a smile.
"Xiao Qin, are you flattering me?" "When did you learn to be like this?" Chen Xing looked at Tan Wenlan with a smile.
"No, I'm telling the truth." Tan Wenlan looked embarrassed. She thought to herself that she was really not a flatterer. The first time she tried, she died before she succeeded.
Alright, don't just stand there like a fool. Once we have an appointment, let's hurry up and leave. Chen Xing patted Tan Wenlan's shoulder with a smile and stopped teasing her.
The two of them stopped a taxi. Chen Xing told the driver the address of the cafe. About ten minutes later, the driver said, "Is this the place?"
Chen Xing, who was lost in thought, turned his head and looked out of the window. He thought that it was true. He felt that only a short while had passed and they had arrived in the blink of an eye.
This cloud field was really small. Chen Xing took out money from his pocket and said with a smile.
Yuntian wasn't big to begin with. The city had three vertical and three horizontal lines. As long as there wasn't a traffic jam, one could finish running in half an hour. Otherwise, how big could Yuntian be? Don't think that Yuntian was the second largest city in Beiqing Province. In fact, it wasn't big at all. Hearing Chen Xing's words, the taxi driver answered with a smile.
As the taxi driver spoke, he looked out of the rearview mirror. He felt that there was a car following behind him. Now that his car stopped, the car behind him also stopped. This made him feel even more strange. Was it really a car that was following him?
With this thought in mind, the taxi driver quickly curled his lips. He was a poor taxi driver, so it really wasn't easy for someone to follow him. However, it was no wonder that he would be suspicious. The reason was that he had just sent Chen Xing and Tan Wenlan here. He had passed through two or three alleys and had taken the shortest route. For a taxi driver like him who shuttled through the streets and alleys every day, he had long known where to go and what was the fastest way. Logically speaking, it was impossible for others to coincidentally pass through the same alleys as him.
Moreover, before driving a taxi, he was a retired soldier. His previous profession had given him a certain level of sensitivity and alertness, so he had noticed the strange car behind him.
The taxi driver was puzzled. His eyes were still observing the car behind him, so he didn't even notice Tan Wenlan handing him the money.
"Leader, I have change here. You don't have to take it." Tan Wenlan gave the money to the driver and smiled at Chen Xing, who had just taken out his wallet.
"What do you two do?" When the taxi driver heard Tan Wenlan call Chen Xing "Leader", he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What do you think we do? Chen Xing asked with a smile.
"I can't tell. I feel that you should be sitting in an office. You don't look like ordinary factory workers." The taxi driver looked at Chen Xing and Tan Wenlan a few times and said.
"We don't have the life of sitting in an office. We have to travel everywhere every day." Chen Xing smiled. In the end, he added half-jokingly, "Sometimes we have to be afraid."
Chen Xing was joking unintentionally, but it was a completely different matter to the taxi driver. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the car behind through the rearview mirror, and his heart began to mutter even more.
"Leader, what are we doing here?" Chen Xing said to the taxi driver. He was afraid that Yu Liting would arrive first, so he didn't delay any longer. He got out of the car with Tan Wenlan and waited in the cafe.
"Leader, what are we doing here?" Tan Wenlan asked confusedly.
"We have an appointment here. Let's wait for a while." Chen Xing looked at the time again. "Yu Liting should be arriving soon."
They sat in the cafe and waited. They talked from time to time. Time passed by, but Yu Liting didn't come. Chen Xing picked up his mobile phone several times. In addition to looking at the time, he almost wanted to call Yu Liting several times to see if there was an accident. But in the end, he held back. If Yu Liting was in trouble, his rash call would make things worse.
"Leader, it's past 12 o 'clock. The person you are waiting for won't stand you up, right?" Tan Wenlan frowned slightly. They had waited for nearly an hour. It didn't seem to be a long time, but it felt like a long time for them to sit here and wait for Yu Liting.
"I don't think so. Let's wait for a few more minutes. If she doesn't come, I will call again." Chen Xing said.
As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, he saw Yu Liting's figure appear in his line of sight. She had just gotten out of the car and was hurrying towards the cafe.
Yu Liting's footsteps were very hurried. When she found Chen Xing's position, she quickly walked over. As soon as she arrived, she apologized. "Leader Chen, I am really sorry. I originally wanted to ask for leave in advance to come over, but I didn't expect to be called over by the leader to do something. This delay made it time to get off work."
"It's okay. Since Miss Yu can come over, it's worth it even if I wait for a day, let alone an hour." Chen Xing said with a smile.
As Chen Xing spoke, he invited Yu Liting to sit down and looked at her with a burning gaze. He was looking forward to what good news Yu Liting would bring today.
