Xue Chen first booked a banquet at Jinbihuihuang, and then called Wang Hao. Wang Hao heard that Xue Chen wanted to invite him to have a meal with the people from the health bureau and public security fire department he contacted, so he readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Chen drove in the direction of Jinguan City. He had calmed down about what happened today.
He has never done this in the past because he doesn't want to give people the impression that he is taking advantage of the situation to bully others, but today he has to do it because what Zhong Dakuan and Pi Tianhe did is completely unreasonable, and you have to use this method to deal with unreasonable people.
The same unreasonable way to deal with it!
After arriving at Jinguan City, he moved a cart of gourds upstairs. He sat on the sofa and looked at the gourds on the ground. Xue Chen touched his nose and looked at the balcony. He felt that the balcony was a good place to use.
I came to dry the gourds, but it was already past noon today and I missed the time to dry the gourds.
Moreover, drying gourds requires three consecutive days of drying for three hours each day, so luck is also very important. If you dry the gourds for the first two days and it turns out to be cloudy and rainy on the third day, it will be tragic and you need to start over.
Xue Chen took out his mobile phone and checked the weather for the next three days online. When he saw that it would be sunny for a week in a row, he secretly thought that he was lucky and decided to dry the gourds starting tomorrow.
Just as he was about to throw his cell phone on the coffee table, it suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from Hu Nanming, he picked it up: "Secretary Hu?"
"Xue Chen, are you in Haicheng now?" Hu Nanming asked.
"Yes." Xue Chen felt that Hu Nanming's question was strange. Where could he be if he was not in Haicheng?
Hu Nanming said hesitantly: "Xue Chen, you also know that since you gave Sheng Sheng massage treatment, Sheng Sheng has been very dependent on you. Just now he came to you crying and asked you to give him a massage. The governor and Xi
Min has been coaxing her for half an hour, but she still refuses to calm down."
Xue Chen knew what Hu Nanming said. Ever since he treated Hao Shengsheng and the effect was achieved, Hao Shengsheng had been calling him Uncle Xue. Every time he appeared, Hao Shengsheng would smile and pester him.
Let him hold me.
The reason for this, Xue Chen thought, might be just like how he healed Xiaobai. Hao Shengsheng was only five years old and had a simple mind. He felt that his treatment made him feel comfortable, so he became dependent on him.
"Xue Chen, I know tomorrow is the day for treatment, but can you come here a day early today, otherwise Sheng Sheng will keep crying, and the governor will also be anxious, fearing that Sheng Sheng will get sick again." Hu Nanming was a little unhappy.
He said politely.
"Okay." Xue Chen naturally couldn't refuse. Anyway, it would be the same thing sooner or later.
"That's too much trouble for you, Xue Chen." Hu Nanming said.
"Secretary Hu is too polite," Xue Chen replied.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Chen went out. At the same time, he made a mental calculation. It would take four hours to go to Yang'an and back at the fastest speed. Plus the hour lost in Sanhu Bay, it would be five hours.
, should be in time for the banquet in the evening.
After going downstairs, Xue Chen drove his car straight to Yang'an at a fast speed. When he arrived in Yang'an, he put his pass in front of the windshield and drove smoothly into the villa area where the leaders of the Sanhuwan Provincial Government lived.
This was not his first time here. He was already familiar with the road. When he arrived at Hao Yunfeng's home, he saw Hao Yunfeng and his wife, Xi Min and Hu Nanming were there. Hao Shengsheng was held in Xi Min's arms and was wiping tears with his hands and pouting.
Waves of low sobs.
"Xue Chen, you're here." Hao Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Chen coming.
The same goes for everyone else in the living room. They were all helpless because of Hao Shengsheng's crying. They didn't listen no matter how they coaxed him, they just kept clamoring for Uncle Xue.
The moment Xi Min saw Xue Chen, the expression on her face was the most complicated. From disdain and disgust at the beginning, to now she was left with only guilt, gratitude and some helplessness and embarrassment.
Sheng Sheng was usually the closest to her and listened to her very much. However, after receiving Xue Chen's massage treatment, she found that Sheng Sheng became more and more dependent on Xue Chen. Sometimes, when she was disobedient and crying, she would just give him a massage.
He said, "I won't let Uncle Xue come if you cry again." He immediately obeyed and stopped crying...
Sure enough, it was the same now. When Sheng Sheng saw Xue Chen coming, he immediately broke away from her arms and trotted to Xue Chen.
"Uncle Xue."
Xue Chen looked down at the crying Hao Shengsheng who ran to his legs and grabbed his pants. He smiled, bent down and picked him up, then stretched out his hand to scratch Hao Shengsheng's nose: "Shengsheng is disobedient again?"
"Giggle." Hao Shengsheng laughed happily.
Seeing this scene, Miao Yuling, the wife of the governor, happily recited the blessing of Buddha in her heart, and at the same time thought to herself that she is indeed the destined person of Master Miaohai...
Seeing that Sheng Sheng, who had been crying just now, started to laugh like a magic trick when he saw Xue Chen, Hao Yunfeng smiled and shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it: "Xue Chen, we have been driving all the way. Let's take a rest first."
Bar."
"No, let's treat Sheng Sheng first." Xue Chen thought that he would have to rush back later, and there was a wine bar to rush to in the evening.
"Okay then." Hao Yunfeng nodded.
Xi Min spread a clean blanket on the sofa in the living room for Hao Shengsheng to lie down. Xue Chen squatted aside and rubbed it casually as usual, while using Rejuvenation to treat Hao Shengsheng's heart.
Hao Yunfeng's family stood aside and watched, but they no longer looked as scrutinizing as before. When they saw the sweet and comfortable smile on Hao Shengsheng's little face, they all smiled.
After more than ten minutes, Xue Chen took his hand away and stood up.
Miao Yuling handed over a wet towel: "Xue Chen, thank you for your hard work."
The younger a person is, the less likely they are to hide their emotions. After receiving Xue Chen's treatment, Hao Shengsheng felt comfortable all over. He sat up from the sofa and ran happily around the living room, letting out a series of crisp laughter...
Hao Yunfeng originally planned to let Xue Chen stay for a while, but when he heard that Xue Chen had an appointment in the evening, he didn't force him to stay. However, when Hao Shengsheng saw that Xue Chen was leaving, he immediately refused and hugged Xue Chen's thighs with both arms.
, raised his head and looked at Xue Chen eagerly.
"Shengsheng, let go, your Uncle Xue still has something to do." Xi Min came over and advised.
Hao Shengsheng pursed his lips: "Mom, can I still see Uncle Xue tomorrow?"
Xi Min was immediately embarrassed, thinking that if he told the truth, his son Sheng Sheng would definitely refuse to agree. But if he lied, it would only make the trouble worse if he couldn't see Xue Chen tomorrow, so he had to hide it: "Sheng Sheng
, your Uncle Xue is still busy with work, so he can’t come over to see you every day, do you understand?”
Xue Chen gently touched Sheng Sheng's little head: "I will come over to see Sheng Sheng when I have time."
Hao Shengsheng reluctantly let go of his hand and let Xue Chen leave.
Xue Chen nodded towards Hao Yunfeng, opened the door and left.
After exiting Yang'an and getting on the expressway, Xue Chen rushed back towards Haicheng, but it took a little longer than he expected. When the appointed time arrived, it was still more than ten minutes' drive from Haicheng.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to call Wang Hao and told Wang Hao that he had been delayed due to something and was on his way there and would be there soon.
Wang Hao didn't say anything, he just told others that they had arrived and were waiting for him.
In a splendid private room, besides Wang Hao, there were four people sitting there, namely Ren Chongshan, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, and Wang Changfu, director of the Chengnan District Police Station. These two people were already old acquaintances with Xue Chen, and the other two
It was Geng Huaiming, director of the Health Bureau Office, and Zhao Yang, chief of the Public Security Fire Department, both of whom were friends with Wang Hao.
After Wang Hao answered the phone, Geng Huaiming asked: "Secretary Wang, this Mr. Xue is really busy. He is actually late for the treat, haha."
Wang Hao explained: "Xue Chen said that he was delayed on some important things and will be here soon."
Although Zhao Yang didn't show anything on his face, he was obviously a little unhappy about Xue Chen being late and said, "He is really a busy man."
Wang Hao naturally heard some dissatisfaction in the words of the two people, and he was also very puzzled that Xue Chen knew that he was late for the banquet in the evening, which made no sense.
Ren Chongshan drank tea and said nothing, because he and Xue Chen already knew each other, so he was not dissatisfied because Xue Chen was late.
This is even more true for Wang Changfu. In the past, he and Xue Chen were close because Xue Chen had a good relationship with Xia Chenghong, the director of Ning Group. But now that he has a more detailed understanding of Xue Chen from some aspects, he knows that Xue Chen is now also in the company.
The Ning Group has held important positions and has strong connections in Haicheng's official circles. Naturally, they are eager to have a closer relationship with Xue Chen, so it doesn't matter if they wait a little longer.
But Geng Huaiming and Zhao Yang had never been in contact with Xue Chen. They were late for the first meeting they agreed to have a chat with. This was really unjustifiable to them. If they thought about it more deeply, could it be that it was not at all possible?
Don't pay attention to them, that's why you are late?
Although the two of them saw that Xue Chen had a good relationship with Wang Hao, and heard that he seemed to have a slight relationship with the mayor, they were still a little unhappy after being slighted.
Xue Chen hurried to the magnificent place, opened the door of the box, clasped his fists to the four people in the box and said, "Sorry, I'm late. I'll punish myself with three drinks in a while."
Wang Hao stood up in time and said with a smile: "Xue Chen, come, let me introduce you. This is Director Geng Huaiming of the Health Bureau Office, and Section Chief Zhao Yangzhao of the Public Security Fire Department."
Xue Chen stepped forward and shook hands with the two of them: "Director Geng, Section Chief Zhao, hello."
Then he nodded and said hello to Ren Chongshan and Wang Changfu.
"Mr. Xue is really a busy man." Geng Huaiyuan said with a smile.
"Haha, I thought Mr. Xue ran away because he was afraid of the treat." Zhao Yang also said with a raised corner of his mouth. (To be continued)
