It's been a long time since I've seen Xiang Gang, and Xu Bing has never asked Zeng Jing about it.
But today, as soon as the two of them walked to the school gate, they bumped into Xiang Gang.
Seeing Xiang Gang's confused eyes, Xu Bing felt a little guilty. He didn't want to meet Xiang Gang at this time, and he was afraid that Xiang Gang would misunderstand him.
From Xiang Gang's eyes, Xu Bing saw wariness.
This made Xu Bing feel aggrieved - he had never thought of dating Zeng Jing.
Yes, Zeng Jing is a second-generation official with an unusual family background, and she is generous and loyal. She can be called a heroine with full demeanor, but so what?
For Xu Bing, a woman's figure and appearance are always the most attractive to him. Yes, he is very vulgar. He is even willing to slowly admire a vase every day.
"Zeng Jing, where are you going?" Xiang Gang asked.
Zeng Jing said carelessly: "Oh, let's go home for dinner."
"Ah?" Xiang Gang was stunned, hesitated, and said, "Oh, I haven't visited Uncle Zeng for a long time, so let's go together."
Xu Bing quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's do it together."
But Zeng Jing quickly waved her hands and said, "No, not today."
Xiang Gang and Xu Bing asked at the same time: "Why?"
After glaring at Xiang Gang, Zeng Jing frowned and said, "Dad only invited Xu Bing today. Maybe it's something that needs to be discussed. It will be inconvenient for you to go."
Xiang Gang glanced at Xu Bing in surprise.
"It's convenient. Why isn't it convenient? I think it's very convenient." Xu Bing was shocked and said immediately.
"Forget it, I'll go another day." Xiang Gang understood what was going on and followed Zeng Jing's words.
Zeng Jing pulled Xiang Gang aside and whispered for a while before leaving with Xu Bing.
Along the way, Xu Bing said that the pear is very big!
The secretary of Tianhai City invited him to his home as a guest. How could he not feel pressured?
I took a taxi and went straight to Zeng Jing's home. When I got home, Zeng Haisheng was still cooking in the kitchen, and there was no one else at home.
Opening the door to the living room, Zeng Haisheng was still wearing an apron, with a kind face, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that Xiao Xu is here. Come in quickly. You and Zeng Jing will watch TV in the living room for a while. Dinner will be ready soon."
.”
After saying that, Zeng Haisheng entered the kitchen again.
Xu Bing was very surprised. He did not expect that Zeng Haisheng would cook in the kitchen himself. Who is Zeng Haisheng? The top leader of Tianhai City would actually cook in the kitchen. This is true - and at this time, Zeng Haisheng has nothing like him.
He looked like a kind father with a little bit of the majesty that a superior person should have. Xu Bing was deeply moved by his kind smile.
Zeng Jing asked Xu Bing to sit down, helped turn on the TV, and was busy washing the fruits.
Xu Bing took the opportunity to look at the decoration in the room. What surprised him again was that the decoration in the room was extremely simple. Its style was completely that of the end of the last century, which was incompatible with the current luxurious and popular style.
Xu Bing had a good impression of Zeng Haisheng.
Officials and businessmen are always in front of businessmen.
Power, money, power, money, and money will always be behind power.
These days, those who are rich may not necessarily have power, but for those who have power, it is really easy to make money.
This is the current situation of society today.
And a person like Zeng Haisheng can live in such a simple three-bedroom apartment and live there for twenty years, which shows that he is very low-key. No matter what the purpose of his low-key is, it is worth mentioning.
People admire.
"Have you always lived here?" Xu Bing asked Zeng Jing in a low voice.
Zeng Jing glared at Xu Bing and said unhappily: "My dad is an upright official. Don't look at me like that. Do you think we are pretending?"
Xu Bing quickly changed the topic with a smile, praising that the house was actually very cozy. Zeng Jing just curled her lips, which made Xu Bing very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zeng Haisheng came out at the right time to call for dinner. The dinner was not very sumptuous. There were four dishes, one soup, two meatballs and two vegetarian dishes, which was very ordinary.
"I have treasured this bottle of wine for a long time and couldn't bear to part with it. Xiao Xu came today and our uncle and nephew took care of it. Is that okay?"
Zeng Haisheng took out a bottle of Wuliangye from the TV cabinet and smiled while helping Xu Bing pour the wine.
Xu Bing hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm causing trouble to my uncle. I came in such a hurry today that I didn't even have time to prepare any gifts. I'll definitely make up for it next time."
"No, no, no, no, no." Zeng Haisheng waved his hand and said seriously: "You and Zeng Jing are classmates, so you can't be polite. Even though my uncle's house is simple, there are many people who want to come to the house as guests, but uncle usually doesn't accept them.
, and the most important thing is that uncle has a rule, anyone is welcome to come to the house, but there are two points, firstly, not to talk about official business, secondly, not to accept gifts."
Xu Bing was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said with a smile: "Uncle is really honest and upright."
"Do you think Dad is joking?" Zeng Jing interjected: "Since I was a child, I have seen many people give gifts, but I have never seen my father accept them, and no one who gives gifts has ever been able to come in.
.”
Xu Bing was ashamed.
Zeng Haisheng said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, my uncle can't be said to be honest, but he just sticks to his duty. As a man, you have to have a bottom line. I have been an official for so many years, but I haven't earned much property for my family, nor have I earned anything.
No matter how much wealth I can accumulate for them, they can have enough food, clothing, and sleep every night without needing sleeping pills or sedatives to help them sleep. I think this is enough and I am satisfied."
"Uncle, it would be great if every official could be like you." Xu Bing sighed.
Xu Bing said this from the bottom of his heart.
Zeng Haisheng greeted Xu Bing and said with a smile: "Come, come, let's eat the food first and try my craftsmanship, but let's talk first, my craftsmanship is not very good. I guess there is no one in this world who likes me except my daughter."
Come on, let’s have some food first to cushion our stomachs, and then we’ll have a nice drink.”
"Uncle, you are too polite."
Xu Bing took a mouthful of food, ate it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly with an expressionless expression. Then looking at Zeng Jing eating deliciously, Xu Bing sighed secretly.
The taste of this dish is really average!
At this time, Xu Bing was suddenly moved by the father and daughter.
It was so rare that Zeng Jing actually enjoyed eating such an ordinary dish. This scene was so heartwarming.
"By the way, uncle, why don't you see auntie?" Xu Bing asked casually.
Zeng Haisheng frowned slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Xu Bing was shocked and had a bad feeling. It seemed that his question was a little too abrupt.
Sure enough, Zeng Jing stopped moving for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to pick up the food in the bowl.
"She has been dead for many years." Zeng Haisheng said calmly.
Xu Bing swallowed his saliva, picked up the wine glass, and said to Zeng Haisheng, "Come on, uncle, let me toast you."
"Okay, let's drink." Zeng Haisheng and Xu Bing toasted.
"Dad, I want to drink something too." Zeng Jing suddenly raised her head and said.
Zeng Haisheng frowned and said, "Girl, drink less."
"But I suddenly want to drink." Zeng Jing's eye circles were actually a little red.
Zeng Haisheng sighed and said, "Okay, have a drink."
Zeng Jing went to fetch the wine glass herself, poured a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Because of Xu Bing's questions, the originally warm and relaxing atmosphere suddenly became a bit depressing and dull. Xu Bing regretted it many times, but he could only keep smiling.
Xu Bing had been eating very nervously during this meal.
After dinner, Zeng Jing went to wash the dishes, while Zeng Haisheng sat with Xu Bing in the living room.
As soon as he sat down, Xu Bing became nervous.
He knew why Zeng Haisheng invited him to dinner. It must be because he was able to successfully get out of the criminal police brigade a few days ago.
A big shot like Zeng Haisheng, who has been honed in the political arena for many years, must have an unusually sharp political sense.
But what surprised Xu Bing was that Zeng Haisheng still didn't ask anything until he sent him out.
No, Zeng Haisheng asked, but all he asked about were important matters in Xu Bing's study and life. This was exactly the same situation as an elder chatting with a junior. It was very ordinary and casual.
After walking out of the community where Zeng Haisheng lived, Xu Bing was still a little confused. He was confused by Zeng Haisheng.
Why didn’t Zeng Haisheng test his true identity?
Could it be that he invited me today just because he is Zeng Jing’s friend?
When he arrived, Xu Bing was thinking about how to deal with Zeng Haisheng's various temptations. He felt that an old fox like Zeng Haisheng would definitely have many weird ways to test himself.
But Xu Bing prepared a lot of rhetoric, but in the end nothing was used, and nothing that he expected happened.
However, this meal made Xu Bing understand Zeng Haisheng and his daughter a little better.
It seems that although Zeng Jing's character is very "manly" and very strong, she also has her own sensitive emotional restricted areas behind her back.
After taking a taxi, Xu Bing returned to school.
The car drove to Hengmin Road, two streets away from Nanda University, and suddenly encountered a traffic jam. The driver had no choice but to change the route, but as soon as he turned a street, there was another traffic jam ahead.
"It's strange, why is there a traffic jam on this road? There has never been a traffic jam before." The driver, a middle-aged uncle, sighed helplessly.
"Little brother, how about you get off the bus from here, go through the alley on the left or right, and walk another two hundred meters to your school." The driver discussed with Xu Bing.
Xu Bing nodded and was about to pay when his cell phone suddenly rang.
When he saw the call, Xu Bing asked the driver to wait and answer the call.
The call was from Ouyang Jian.
"Boss, you are in trouble. You are being targeted. There are killers waiting for you in the alleys to your left and right. Their origins are unknown and the risk factor is very high. Do you want our people to come forward and help you get it done?
?”
Xu Bing was shocked. He looked at the alleys on the left and right through the glass window and said with a smile: "No need, I can handle it myself."
"Boss, there are two on each side, four in total. Can you really handle it?" Ouyang Jian laughed on the phone.
"Why, you don't believe me?" Xu Bing said easily.
"How dare I, boss, I just think that with us here, you don't have to do it yourself."
"Forget it, I'll do it anyway. I haven't moved it for a long time and I'm afraid my bones will get rusty."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Bing paid the fare, opened the car door, and walked to the alley on the right.
