Chapter 951

Afternoon, five o'clock. e^Look

Family Compound, Old Yang Family.

Dong Xuebin was holding the child in his arms and playing with her in the house. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. The phone rang. It was a number for which he did not have a business card. "Hello, I'm Dong Xuebin." Dong Xuebin answered.

"Xuebin, I'm Hou Qing." There was a funv voice on the other end.  The Power of Time and Wealth 951

Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Sister Hou, is this your mobile phone number?"

"It's mine, haha. It took me a long time to find your number before someone found it." Hou Qing said.

Dong Xuebin said, "Hey, I forgot to leave it for you. By the way, I haven't thanked you for lunch."

Hou Qing chuckled and said, "I didn't help much either. I don't dare to take this word of thanks."

Dong Xuebin said, "You did me a favor by not letting the police arrest me. Otherwise, if my words were spread out, I wouldn't know how to deal with a conflict if it happened."

"I don't want them to get into trouble either. How can these policemen in our bureau be your opponents? Even if we come as a team, they are asking for trouble if they want to arrest you, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that powerful."

"You, don't be modest. I have seen your fighting ability with my own eyes."

"By the way, do you have something to do with me?"

"It's nothing. Do you have time later? Let's have a meal together?"

"This..." Dong Xuebin looked to the side, "Originally, it was the food at home..."

Hou Qing said, "You should go back to work tomorrow, right? It's not easy for you to come here. I can't let this opportunity go. You won't give me any face?"

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "Well... okay, can you tell me the place?"

Hou Qing said an address, "See you at six o'clock?"

"Sure, I'll be there on time. Let's talk about it then."

"Okay, let's talk after we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin looked at Mom who was picking vegetables in the living room and Yang Zhaode who was watching TV, and smiled sheepishly, "Uncle Yang, Mom, I have to go out tonight."

Luan Xiaoping looked at him, "Who are you following?"

Dong Xuebin said, "Hou Qing, the deputy director of the Lü'an City Public Security Bureau." The Power of Time and Wealth 951

Yang Zhaode smiled unexpectedly, "Xiao Bin, you are quite popular. Do you have any acquaintances in our city? I know Xiaohou, he is a capable cadre."

Dong Xuebin explained, "I also met her when I was on a mission. It's funny to say that we were both undercover at that time, investigating the theft of Provincial Museum. Later, Sister Hou was exposed. I rescued her, and the relationship was broken down at that time." From a certain point of view, no relationship is stronger than a relationship tied to interests, but a life-threatening relationship is always more real than an exchange of interests.

Yang Zhaode nodded slightly, "It is always beneficial to expand your network."

"Then I won't eat at home tonight?" Dong Xuebin said.

Luan Xiaoping said with some displeasure, "I've never seen you so busy normally. Why do you have so many things to do during the New Year? You can't even have a solid meal at home?"

Dong Xuebin knew that Mom missed him. He hadn't been able to see her for a long time. Now that he finally came back, Mom definitely wanted to spend more time with her.

"This..." Dong Xuebin scratched his head.

Yang Zhaode helped persuade, "Let the child go. With his current level and position, he doesn't have enough social entertainment? He can't socialize too much every day. Now that his seat is here, he can't run away."

Luan Xiaoping said, "Where did he have any social activities before?"

Yang Zhaode was stunned, "Xiao Bin is not socializing?"

Dong Xuebin laughed sarcastically, "It's really not much."

"How is that possible?" Yang Zhaode said in surprise, "When I was at your time, I almost never had dinner at home every day. Isn't it common for merchants, colleagues, and cadres to have dinner with others? This is already part of the job, don't you?"

Dong Xuebin feels depressed when I mention this and doesn't know what to say.

It was Luan Xiaoping who said it for him, "When he was working at Capital City Guoan, he offended the unit Top Leader Director Zhen very badly. Later when he worked at Yantai County, he arrested County Party Secretary's relatives and also annoyed them. Later he went to Nanshan District, I've given the district committee secretary a lot of trouble, and now I'm in Fenzhou City. I just offended Municipal Party Secretary about Yun Xuan a while ago, and why are you socializing with me? Who dares to go to dinner with Xiao Bin? Except for a few colleagues with whom I have a very good relationship, no one dares to go to him."

What Luan Xiaoping said is indeed the truth. This is also the fundamental reason why Dong Xuebin is very relaxed when he goes home every day. He has offended too many people, and all of them are leaders at higher levels, so everyone should contact Dong Xuebin You have to weigh everything beforehand, and the result of weighing is often that you won't get too close to him at all, so as not to be seen by interested people and misunderstood by the superiors. Therefore, since Dong Xuebin entered the system, except for a few people, his popularity has not been very good and he has made enemies on all sides.

It's just that this thing is not shameful, Dong Xuebin has never wanted to admit it.

When Yang Zhaode heard it, he understood that it was like this. He was immediately amused, "Xiao Bin This is not an unusual path. He can still rise step by step in such a situation where he is surrounded by enemies. From this perspective, we can also see our child's ability. The future will definitely be limitless."

Luan Xiaoping curled his lips and said, "You always follow what he says, huh."

But Dong Xuebin is not Yang Zhaode's biological son. Old Yang can't criticize him every day. That will only be counterproductive. Old Yang knows the right thing very well.

Dong Xuebin didn't like to hear. "Mom, can you please stop stepping on me?"

"You can do it, why don't you tell your mother? Have you ever seen an official who offended as many people as you? Calculate for yourself how many people you have offended since you became Civil Servants? There are more than hundreds! People! Officials are all so kind, so why don't you take the ordinary path? You are obviously causing trouble." Luan Xiaoping glared at him and said, "I can't control you anymore, go ahead. What time will you be back in the evening?"

Dong Xuebin said, "Maybe, we'll talk about it then." The Power of Time and Wealth 951

What happened downstairs at noon must have made Mom nong angry, and Dong Xuebin didn't dare to break up with Mom.

At this time, Yang Zhaode always turned to Dong Xuebin, and immediately helped him change the subject with a smile, and told Dong Xuebin: "Xiao Hou is a late bloomer, and he was only promoted in the past two years. This kind of person should not be underestimated. You should have more contact with her."

Dong Xuebin said yes, "I understand Uncle Yang, how about I ask her to come to your place to sit and have a meal in a few days?"

Yang Zhaode smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to talk to her. I have read Xiao Hou's file. She has a good profile and a very innocent background."

Dong Xuebin You can tell right away. Is your background pure? That means there is no one up there. Comrade Old Yang is trying to pull Hou Qing towards him. Old Yang and Mom both just came here Lü'an City It didn't take long. It's always good to have more help. With the relationship between myself and Hou Qing, it should be easier to think about it. Comrade Old Yang intended for me to help him pull the strings, so Dong Xuebin was naturally willing to help.

Six o'clock.

Lü'an City A hotel in the center.

When Dong Xuebin arrived, Hou Qing was already waiting for him at the door. Sister Hou had already changed out of her police uniform and was very smart in a windbreaker and trousers.

Dong Xuebin immediately got out of the car and greeted him. The current Hou Qing is one level higher than Dong Xuebin, and he is much older than him. Logically speaking, if Hou Qing comes early, he can sit in the hotel and wait for him. She didn't come out to greet him. She probably knew about her relationship with Old Yang. Also, the incident was so big at noon and Family Compound was seen by so many people. Even if Hou Qing left, someone would tell her.

"Sister Hou."

"Coming?"

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived."

"Shall we go in? I'm treating you today."

"Wait for someone else, eh, here they come."

Dong Xuebin was startled, is there anyone else? I couldn't help but take a look at a car that just stopped on the roadside, huh? Isn't this the Deputy Mayor Zhou we just saw at noon? There were two other people who got off the bus. This Dong Xuebin had never been seen before. It seemed that they were also cadres of Lü'an City.

Deputy Mayor Zhou got out of the car and smiled at Dong Xuebin, "Little Dong is here?"

"Mayor Zhou." Dong Xuebin also said hello.

Hou Qing introduced the other two people to Dong Xuebin, "This is Director Liu from the Finance Bureau, and this is Dean Li from the court." He turned around and said, "This is Dong Xuebin Director Dong."

Dong Xuebin immediately knew that these two should be deputy positions.

Director Liu immediately stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "Director Dong, I have admired your name for a long time."

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "Don't say that. What kind of reputation do I have? Even if I have one, I have a bad reputation."

Hearing what he said, Hou Qing burst into laughter, being amused by Dong Xuebin, and thought to himself that you are quite self-aware.

But Hou Qing is related to Dong Xuebin, so it will be okay no matter what, but Director Liu and Dean Li are obviously not good at it. They just opened their mouths and said polite words, "How could it be possible? Director Dong is so humble. Just because of your deeds of risking your life to save others during the earthquake, our court organized and studied for several days."

This is really not a compliment.

At that time, Dong Xuebin was buried under the rubble. Everyone thought he was dead. Indeed, many units organized working meetings to learn from the martyr Comrade Dong Xuebin. However, Dong Xuebin suddenly became "alive" later, and this activity of learning from the martyr was not continued.

Everyone was polite for a while before entering the hotel.

Deputy Mayor Zhou is the highest-ranking one, so he naturally sits at the top.

But as soon as the dinner started, Dong Xuebin found that he was the centerpiece of the table. Deputy Mayor Zhou ate some and answered a phone call before leaving. Director Liu and Dean Li were both very enthusiastic about Dong Xuebin. Hou Qing also drank with Dong Xuebin frequently, drinking one cup after another. After a while, as soon as the box door opened, several more cadres who were eating in the box next to them came over and came over to toast. It was very lively.

This scene really makes Dong Xuebin uncomfortable. Alas, how long has it been since we had such a social meal?

In the place where Dong Xuebin worked, many cadres saw him going to eat and hid away before they got close. He had experienced this feeling of being surrounded for a long time.

Of course, Dong Xuebin also knows that most of it is Old Yang's face.
