Mr. Qiao pulled Liang Fei into his car. He was old, so of course he couldn't drive by himself. Instead, he was equipped with a full-time driver.
It's just that Mr. Qiao is a very low-key person. Although he is rich in the world, the car he drives is only a Volkswagen worth about 100,000 yuan, and it is still a manual transmission.
"Xiao He, go..."
Mr. Qiao got into the car and told the driver an address. The driver understood, started the engine, and drove towards the destination.
The car traveled through the streets and alleys for some time, and came to a villa area. Finally, it stopped in front of a three-story building with its own yard and garden downstairs.
"Ah, Xiaoliang, you are such a rare visitor. It would be a great blessing to have you here!"
As soon as the Volkswagen stopped, an old man wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand came out of the yard and greeted Liang Fei with a smile.
"Mr. Fan?"
Liang Fei took a closer look at the old man walking over and couldn't help but be stunned. Then he turned to look at Mr. Qiao and finally figured it out.
No wonder Mr. Qiao was pretending to be mysterious. It turned out that he was actually coming to Fan's hometown as a guest.
However, what puzzled Liang Fei was that since he was coming to Fan's hometown and Qiao Laoming said it was fine, why should he make it so mysterious?
What made Liang Fei even more confused was that he came to Mr. Qiao to resolve the issue of the municipal committee's approval of Chu Yungang's construction of a resort on his rented land.
But just now, Liang Fei saw Mr. Qiao's pledge and assurance, and thought he could solve it immediately, but who knew that he would actually take him to Fan's home.
What are the meanings of this? Could Mr. Fan help him solve this problem?
"Why, Xiaoliang, it's your first time coming to my house. Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
When Liang Fei was in a daze, Mr. Fan came over with a smile. After looking at Liang Fei, he suddenly joked: "By the way, I know, you must be embarrassed for not bringing a gift."
Right? It’s okay, it’s okay, I, Old Fan, am not such a stingy person!”
"Old man, you still have the nerve to say you're not stingy. Last time you asked me to pay for a fish, and now you've even taken over the fish tank, and you still say you're not stingy?"
As Fan Laozheng was talking, Mr. Qiao came out and said angrily.
"Ah, Lao Qiao, you are wrong. I am obviously domineering, but how can I be considered stingy?"
When Mr. Fan heard this, he held up the tank with him unconvinced, patted Liang Fei on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Liang, thank you for saving that fish. Now I am watching all the time and everywhere.
I love it so much that I can’t bear not seeing my cute little fish for even a minute.”
Speaking of this, Mr. Fan showed a naughty smile on his face, and he said haha: "I have decided that from now on I will occupy this fish and not give it back to Lao Qiao!"
"Hey, hey, you can't do this!"
When Mr. Qiao heard this, he immediately protested loudly: "This fish is my lifeblood. If I let it go to your house for another two days, I will take it back. Otherwise, I will suffer a big loss if you really let me take advantage of you!"
"
Seeing the two old people arguing like this, Liang Fei felt funny in his heart. However, at the same time, he also envied these two old friends very much.
At this moment, Liang Fei was even thinking in his heart, wondering if he would be lucky enough to meet such a brother who could completely hand over his back to each other in this life!
After all, in a hundred years of life, you can meet a close friend and stay with him for a lifetime. This is indeed an emotion that is difficult to let go of.
"Haha, I don't think the two old people should fight anymore. If I encounter a good fish again in the future, I will give one to the two old people. By then, each of you will have one, and there will be no need to fight anymore."
Liang Fei smiled slightly and stopped the two old men from arguing.
"Uncle Qiao, you are here!"
While the three of them were talking at the door, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walking out of the yard. He smiled and nodded to Mr. Qiao and said.
"Qingxuan, are you back too?"
Mr. Qiao also nodded and said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Originally, there was a meeting to be held at noon, but Uncle Qiao has already spoken, how could I not come back?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, turned his eyes to Liang Fei, smiled and stretched out his hand to him, and said very friendly: "This young man should be Xiao Liang, right?"
"Yes, I am Liang Fei!"
Seeing how kind he was, Liang Fei also stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
Judging from the appearance of this middle-aged man, he was quite similar to Mr. Fan, and he also called Mr. Qiao his uncle. Liang Fei guessed that he must be Mr. Fan's nephew.
However, when Liang Fei took a closer look at the middle-aged man, he felt a sense of déjà vu. As for where he had seen him before, he couldn't remember.
"Come on, Liang Fei, let me introduce you."
Seeing that Liang Fei looked at the middle-aged man with a somewhat confused expression, Mr. Qiao smiled and introduced him: "Liang Fei, this is Fan Qingxuan, Mr. Fan's son."
Fan Qingxuan!
Hearing this familiar name, Liang Fei's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Fan Qingxuan, who was smiling at him, and finally remembered why he felt so familiar to him.
It turns out that Fan Qingxuan is actually the mayor of Binyang City!
Liang Fei had often seen Fan Qingxuan on TV news before, so as soon as he met him, he had a feeling of déjà vu.
It's just that he didn't expect to see the mayor on such an occasion, nor did he expect that the mayor would be so approachable, so he didn't recognize him immediately.
"It turns out to be Mayor Fan, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Liang Fei was very excited when he learned that the person in front of him was Mayor Fan Qingxuan. Then he remembered that the purpose of Mr. Qiao bringing him here was to communicate directly with Mayor Fan!
"Xiao Liang, we are all from my family. I have always heard my father mention you."
Fan Qingxuan held Liang Fei's hand with a smile and said cordially: "Look, my father was very happy when I heard that you were coming to my house today. Not only did he cook the meal himself, he also asked me to come back specially to accompany him!
"
"Qingxuan, let me tell you. Today is a family banquet. You should quickly put away your official trap. Besides, if it comes to official position, your father used to be the commander of the military region, and his official authority is greater than yours.
Woolen cloth!"
Fan Qingxuan was talking, but Mr. Fan straightened his face and said seriously: "Xiao Liang is here today. He is a distinguished guest of our family. Don't act like an official in front of him. Just treat him like a distinguished guest."
Just treat him as his own brother."
"Hey, daddy, how dare I disobey your orders!"
To Liang Fei's surprise, Mayor Fan, who was usually very serious and authoritative in the eyes of the public, seemed to be a well-behaved and obedient primary school student in front of his father.
As soon as Mr. Fan finished his words, Fan Qingxuan nodded in agreement and said to Liang Fei with a smile: "A Fei, I'm so many years older than you, so I might as well call you brother!"
"This...Mayor Fan, you are the mayor and I am a civilian, how can I be worthy of your brother? This...is inappropriate..."
Liang Fei suddenly felt flattered in his heart. It was no wonder that the mayor of the city wanted to become a brother with him. This kind of happiness would be unbearable for anyone!
