On the dining table, Zhou Dongfang's wife, Min Jingfang, had cooked a few steaming hot home-cooked dishes. Min Jingfang had already known about Chen Xing's identity from Zhou Dongfang, so she was very enthusiastic about Chen Xing, the son-in-law of the Zhang family. She smiled and said to Chen Xing, "Chen Xing, these are all home-cooked dishes. Don't be shy. Just treat it as your own home and eat as much as you want.
Aunt Min's cooking must be very good. I smelled the fragrance from the kitchen just now. Now that the dishes are served, I'm almost drooling. " Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Look at him. He's really good at flattery." Min Jingfang smiled until her eyes narrowed. There was no woman who didn't like to be praised for her culinary skills. Just like her appearance, they all liked to be praised.
"Aunt Min, come and eat, or the dishes will get cold." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"You guys eat first. There are still a few dishes left. I'm afraid that you guys will be hungry, so I'll serve them quickly." Min Jingfang smiled.
These dishes were enough for four people. Aunt Min, you should come and eat together. The dishes will lose their taste when they get cold.
"No, there are still three dishes. It will take a while to finish. You guys eat first." Min Jingfang said and glanced at her husband. "Dongfang, why don't you have a drink with Chen Xing? You can drink more tonight."
"Hurry up and cook. You are a woman. Why are you nagging here?" Zhou Dongfang frowned. He was a henpecked man, but he still had to maintain the dignity of the head of the family in front of outsiders.
Zhou Xuyang, who was at the side, couldn't wait to see his father suffer. At this moment, he was overjoyed and laughed. "Dad, you can drink today. You can get drunk again. Mom won't care about you."
"Eat your meal." Zhou Dongfang glared at his son.
The warm atmosphere made Chen Xing feel very comfortable. Zhou Dongfang opened a special bottle of Maotai. There was a big glass on the table. Zhou Dongfang poured him a full glass. Just when Chen Xing wanted to say that he couldn't drink a glass of white liquor, Zhou Dongfang said, "If you are a man, you can drink it." He could only smile bitterly and nod. Thinking that he still needed Zhou Dongfang's help tonight, he couldn't make the host unhappy.
After a while, Min Jingfang served all the dishes. She washed her hands and sat down to eat with them. Min Jingfang had met Zhang Ningning once. Zhang Ningning's elegant and refined appearance left a deep impression on her. Coupled with Zhang Ningning's prominent family background, Min Jingfang, as a woman, could not help gossiping. She asked Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning when they planned to have a child. Perhaps Old Master Zhang had been looking forward to the birth of a granddaughter for a long time. How happy it would be to have four generations under the same roof.
Auntie Min, this matter can't be rushed. We're both busy now, and we don't have time to think about the child. Chen Xing said with a smile.
How can this matter not be rushed? You're already in your early thirties, and Ningning is not young either. It's not good for a woman to have a child over the age of thirty. You guys have to hurry up. Min Jingfang said with concern.
Auntie Min is right. It seems that I have to discuss with Ningning and have a child as soon as possible. Chen Xing followed Min Jingfang's words and said. She was concerned out of kindness. Going along with her words would make her happy. This was the art of language.
The young couple must have their own plans. You don't have to worry about it. Zhou Dongfang smiled and shook his head. He picked up his glass and said to Chen Xing, "Chen Xing, let's have another toast.
Okay, it seems that I'm not going home until I'm drunk with Uncle Zhou tonight. " Chen Xing had already changed his glass to a small one. He didn't have the guts to drink with Zhou Dongfang with a big glass.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Xing and Zhou Dongfang's family were talking and laughing. Min Jingfang liked to ask about the affairs of the young couple, but Zhou Dongfang was not interested in such topics. He and Chen Xing mostly talked about current affairs. Both of them had their own opinions. After all, they belonged to two different military and political systems. They had different opinions, but they still chatted happily.
Chen Xing felt that the time was almost right, so he told Zhou Dongfang the reason for his visit. Uncle Zhou, in fact, I have something to ask of you tonight.
What's the matter? You don't have to be so polite. Zhou Dongfang squinted his sleepy eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes. Although he loved to drink, even during work, he would sometimes drink a few glasses, but he never missed his business. That was because Zhou Dongfang had strong self-control and never got drunk. When others saw that he was obviously drunk, Zhou Dongfang's mind was still sober and he was not drunk at all.
At this time, of course, Chen Xing decided to talk about his business not because he thought that Zhou Dongfang was drunk, but because Chen Xing felt that the atmosphere was about right. With the foreshadowing, it would not be too abrupt for him to talk about his purpose now. Chen Xing said, "Uncle Zhou, can you lend me some soldiers?"
What? Zhou Dongfang, who was not mentally prepared, was obviously startled. His hand knocked over the wine glass in front of him. Fortunately, it was only an empty wine glass. At this moment, Zhou Dongfang's eyes were wide open. "Chen Xing, did I hear it wrong? Why do you want to borrow soldiers?
No, what I mean is … "Seeing Zhou Dongfang's expression, Chen Xing knew that Zhou Dongfang had misunderstood him. He smiled bitterly. Chen Xing wanted to explain, but found that there was nothing he could do. He did want to borrow soldiers, but he was sure that Zhou Dongfang's understanding was different from his. After a pause, Chen Xing continued," Uncle Zhou, I want to borrow some soldiers from you. There is a operation tomorrow night, and I don't have any available people on hand. "
"What kind of operation do you need to borrow people from me?" Zhou Dongfang was even more surprised.
"I need to seize an entertainment center, and I don't have enough people for the operation tomorrow night. So I want to borrow some people from you." Chen Xing explained.
"Seize an entertainment center?" Zhou Dongfang looked at Chen Xing in disbelief. "Chen Xing, are you afraid that the local public security bureau doesn't have enough people for this kind of operation?" "Even if the public security bureau doesn't have enough people, it should be enough to send people from the armed police."
"Uncle Zhou, to tell you the truth, I don't dare to use people from the public security bureau or the armed police. I don't want the information to leak." Chen Xing said helplessly. "I can't count on the public security bureau and the armed police, so I can only rely on Uncle Zhou."
"What? How could a small entertainment center have such a big involvement, and even make you, the mayor, so cautious?" Zhou Dongfang heard the hidden meaning in Chen Xing's words and frowned.
"That's not a small entertainment center, it's one of the most luxurious entertainment centers in Nanzhou City. It's not a big deal if it's just a entertainment center, but the boss behind it is very deep. As far as I know, the Municipal Bureau is already rotten, and Zhang Qingyang, who is now in charge of the Municipal Bureau, has a close relationship with the boss behind the entertainment center. Zhang Qingyang was appointed as the First Political Commissar and First Secretary of the Armed Police a few days ago, so I have to be cautious. I don't want to use people from the public security bureau or the armed police if possible. I have to try my best to ensure the success of tomorrow night's operation. "Chen Xing told the truth."
"You can't use people from the Municipal Bureau, but what about people from the Provincial Department?" "Didn't you just have dinner with Old Guan the day before yesterday? Although he, as the deputy governor and head of the Public Security Bureau, doesn't have a big voice in the province, he still has the power to make decisions for the Provincial Department. Why don't you consider discussing it with him? If it's really like what you said, with Old Guan supporting you from the province, your work will be much easier." Zhou Dongfang asked confusedly.
"Dad, you obviously haven't considered the whole issue. Since Brother Chen said that the boss of the entertainment center has bribed the leaders of the Public Security Bureau, then it's possible that he has also bribed the people from the Provincial Department. Even if Uncle Guan supports Brother Chen, the specific operation still needs to be carried out by the subordinates. What if someone leaks the information in advance? Then all our efforts will be in vain." Zhou Xuyang said casually.
Chen Xing looked at Zhou Xuyang with a smile. For the first time, he felt that Zhou Xuyang was very cute. This was exactly what he wanted to say. Zhou Dongfang and Guan Jinhui were close friends. If he said that, Zhou Dongfang might think that he lacked confidence in Guan Jinhui. Now that Zhou Xuyang said it, it saved Chen Xing a lot of time. Zhou Dongfang was stunned by his son's words.
Zhou Dongfang was taken aback by his son's words. It was rare for him to refute his son's words. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Dongfang said, "Chen Xing, don't think that Uncle Zhou doesn't want to help you after saying so much just now. You know that the mobilization of the military isn't like the mobilization of the armed police. Therefore, Uncle Zhou has no choice but to be more cautious. However, since you've said so, it won't be right for me to reject you. My entire platoon is full of 30 people. As long as it's one company or less, I'll make the decision for you now.
Uncle Zhou, I definitely don't need one company. Two platoons are enough. " Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. He wanted to say that one platoon should be enough. But on second thought, the Crown Entertainment City was so big. Even if it was the manpower from the ministry, another 30 people might be a little nervous. So, he simply asked for one more platoon.
Okay, I can make the decision for two platoons. Contact me tomorrow afternoon to decide the specific time of action tomorrow night and how to cooperate with you. You have to inform me in advance. Zhou Dongfang said.
Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow, Uncle Zhou. Chen Xing hurriedly agreed. He was secretly grateful for Zhou Dongfang's righteousness. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was not his face that was important, but the Zhang family and the Xiao family that were important.
"After talking about business, it's time to drink. Boy, I saw that you had something on your mind just now. Now that you've finished talking, you feel relaxed, right?" Zhou Dongfang smiled and pointed at Chen Xing. Chen Xing thought that he had concealed it well at the beginning. But how could he escape the eyes of an experienced man?
