night.
Capital City.
Capital Airport.
It was getting dark and it was already past eight o'clock.
Dong Xuebin also got stuck, it was a bit late, so he kept checking his watch in the taxi. Finally, as soon as the car stopped, Dong Xuebin stuffed a hundred yuan into his pocket and said there was no need to look for it. Then he got out of the car and went straight to the airport lobby, looking around and touching his phone. The Power of Time and Wealth 1212
"Xue Bin!" A female voice came from behind.
"Xue Bin!" It was another male voice.
Dong Xuebin turned around and smiled immediately, "Tanzi! Zhuangzi!"
The two people standing behind were Sun Zhuang and Tan Limei. These two were colleagues of Dong Xuebin just after they were admitted to Civil Servants. They worked together at the Chengxi State Security Bureau for a lot of time. They had a good relationship from the beginning. Seeing old acquaintances, Dong Xuebin was in a good mood and smiled thickly.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, we just arrived."
"I told you not to make a trip, so I can just go find you."
"Haha, you are a big leader now, how can I let you run away?"
"Look, am I shabby? I heard that you two are doing well now. Congratulations."
"Don't, you're just looking down on us. I've just been promoted to director, and I'm still a deputy department. I can't compare with you. I'm hundreds of blocks behind. I heard that you've already served as executive deputy County Chief? Into the deputy office of the Standing Committee? Let me go, you were promoted too fast, right? You mentioned it in less than a year!"
Tan Limei is still so cheerful, unchanged.
Sun Zhuang is still so shy, not very talkative, and just smiles honestly.
But it can also be felt. The two of them are much more mature than before, and the same goes for Dong Xuebin. Otherwise, it can be said that the system is better at tempering people.
Dong Xuebin reached out and patted Sun Zhuang on the shoulder, "You have gained weight again. Haha, I heard that you two are married? Why didn't you tell me?"
Sun Zhuang smiled and said, "The wedding hasn't been held yet."
Tan Limei hummed and said, "I just got the certificate, I have to test him. If he is not satisfied, the wedding will not be held, and we will get divorced directly."
Sun Zhuang smiled bitterly.
Dong Xuebin is also happy.
Dong Xuebin was promoted a few years ago. Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang are both cautious in their own affairs. Dong Xuebin always felt a little distorted. Now Tan Limei is also a small cadre, and his temperament has also changed. It can be clearly felt that she is much more confident than before, and she has returned to her previous appearance in front of Dong Xuebin. She talks and laughs non-stop, like a pistachio. Dong Xuebin also likes this feeling. As a friend, it is meaningless to get along with each other tremblingly. He doesn't like his friends to be too polite to him. The Power of Time and Wealth 1212
They hadn't seen each other for so long that they lost track of time and chatted for a long time.
Finally, we talked about the scene when the three of them first entered the system and encountered obstacles and caution. Several people also smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
A few years ago, all three of them were ordinary clerks.
But today, a few years later, all three of them are now cadres, and Sun Zhuang, the lowest-ranking employee, seems to have become the deputy director.
Ten minutes later.
Sun Zhuang touched Tan Limei. "It's nine o'clock."
Tan Limei slapped his forehead, "Look at my brain, Xue Bin, here, it's all done!"
I took it and turned it over, everything was ready. Dong Xuebin said, "Thank you very much. The matter is urgent this time, otherwise I wouldn't want to trouble you two."
Tan Limei said displeasedly, "You're so polite, don't you think of us as buddies?"
Dong Xuebin chuckled, "Of course I do. Anyway, call me if you have anything to do in the future. I can't handle big things, but small things are still fine."
Tan Limei said with a smile, "That's for sure."
Sun Zhuang looked at him and said, "You are going this time..."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "It's a business trip."
"But you..." Sun Zhuang looked at his injured arm and thigh.
Dong Xuebin said, "It's a small injury, it's not a problem."
Tan Limei looked at the watch, "Let's stop talking, Xuebin, hurry up and go through the security check. The last flight is at 9:40. If you can't catch it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Okay, here's the money for the air ticket." Dong Xuebin gave her the money.
Tan Limei stared, "Take it back, take it back, what are you doing?"
Sun Zhuang said, "Tanzi also has some energy with the bureau now. The air tickets are free. Just call Sixth Division and someone will take care of it. As you know, we have a lot to do with the airport. It's just that you need it in a hurry. This flight only has economy class."
Tan Limei said, "Come on, Xue Bin, don't delay your schedule. You don't have to be polite about this little thing. I'll be embarrassed no matter how polite you are."
"Haha, okay, I'll contact you another day."
"Well, have a nice trip." The Power of Time and Wealth 1212
"By the way, don't tell anyone about my departure."
"Don't worry, I keep my mouth shut, I understand."
After waving goodbye to his two old friends, Dong Xuebin turned around and went to the security check to go through the formalities.
On the plane.
Dong Xuebin was the last one to come up. Because of the plaster on his hand, he almost didn't come in after a long time of security check. Fortunately, he managed to catch up. After finding his seat, Dong Xuebin sat down, put on his seat belt, exhaled, looked out the window, and finally took out his cell phone and called Zhang Longjuan.
Shut down.
Or shut down.
Dong Xuebin shook his head and put away his phone, closed his eyes and rested.
One hour...
Two hours...
Three hours...
With a flick of his eyelids, Dong Xuebin suddenly woke up from his sleep. He heard the sound of the aircraft horn in his ears and felt that the plane was landing. It landed on the runway not long after.
Finally arrived.
Look at the clock, it's not even one o'clock in the morning.
Following the sparse crowd, Dong Xuebin got off the plane. This was his first time here. After leaving the airport, he looked around at this strange city. He took out a piece of paper to look at and then called out to a passerby passing by, "Excuse me, where is this hotel?"
The man looked like a tourist. He looked down and said, "Oh, just keep walking along the road. It's about a few hundred meters away. It's not far from the airport and you can get there in five minutes."
"Okay, thank you."
"Haha, you're welcome."
Dong Xuebin took a deep breath and limped in that direction. His pace was very fast and his expression was not relaxed.
Dong Xuebin deceived Hui Lan and Mom Xu Yan by saying that they were going back to Capital City for medical treatment. Of course, they did not want them to worry. Big Sister Zhang might be in trouble, Dong Xuebin After much deliberation, couldn't sit idly by, let alone pretend not to see it, so he came. Even if Zhang Longjuan had nothing to do in the end, Dong Xuebin had to come over. Big Sister Zhang was very good to him, and Dong Xuebin had to return the favor.
Hope nothing happens.
Otherwise, I will have to cause trouble again. If Hui Lan and Mom Aunt Xuan find out about it, I don't know how to scold myself. Alas.
