In the evening of the next day, Tang Xiaobao finally took the time to visit Wei Donglai's house. According to local customs, the entire first month is considered the Spring Festival, which can also be regarded as a time to pay homage to the old age.
Wei Donglai's family was the first people Tang Xiaobao met, and the relationship between the two families has always been close.
Tang Xiaobao saved the life of Wei Bing's wife, otherwise his son might not have a chance to be born safely. This great kindness has always been remembered by the Wei family.
Later, Wei Bing's son recognized Tang Xiaobao as his godfather, and the relationship naturally took a step further.
I remember that Wei Donglai's family took great care of Tang Xiaobao at the beginning. Even later, whenever Tang Xiaobao had something to do, the Wei family would not hesitate to lend a helping hand.
But later on, Tang Xiaobao's worth and status increased rapidly. He was traveling around all year round, but he rarely had the opportunity to visit the Wei family.
After receiving a call from Tang Xiaobao in the morning, Wei Bing shared the good news with his family early.
The Wei family did not dare to neglect Tang Xiaobao, their guest.
Early in the morning, Wei Bing took his wife and children back to Wei Donglai's house.
The family had prepared for a long time and organized a sumptuous family dinner to entertain Tang Xiaobao.
What, why not go to the big hotel?
Please, when you treat guests at a big hotel, some of them are real friends. People like Wei Donglai usually don't leave people to eat at home. After all, he is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Mayor, and the Director of Public Security.
, His status in the officialdom is not low. If he is not one of his own, how could he stay at home to eat.
Tang Xiaobao also brought some gifts, and at the same time, he wrapped a big red envelope for his godson.
During the dinner, the atmosphere was warm and warm, and everyone had a great time.
Wei Donglai and his wife asked about Tang Xiaobao's current situation. After the meal, Wei Donglai played two games of chess with Tang Xiaobao.
Tang Xiaobao occasionally read a few Go books in the bookstore last year, and his level was extremely high, but he was naturally embarrassed to win. He clearly won two games, but finally lost calmly.
Perhaps Wei Donglai figured it out and stopped playing after two sets.
After sitting for a while, Tang Xiaobao said goodbye.
Wei Bing sent him out, but when he got downstairs, he forced Tang Xiaobao to drink at the bar.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Didn't you drink tonight?"
"Three people drank a bottle of wine. What kind of drinking is that? It just so happens that we brothers haven't had a meal together for a long time. We must have a few drinks tonight. Let's go. I know a newly opened bar. The environment is great.
It’s not bad. I heard someone said it was opened by a businessman from out of town. Let’s go and have a look. It’s quiet and you don’t have to worry about anyone disturbing you.”
Without any explanation, Wei Bing got into Tang Xiaobao's car.
Tang Xiaobao was helpless and said with a smile: "Then you have to say hello to your sister-in-law, right?"
"No, she can just drive back by herself."
Wei Bing said carelessly.
The bar he mentioned is located on Tongfo Road behind Xihua Street. The environment is indeed very quiet and not noisy. There are high-end residential areas nearby. However, because it is a newly opened building, there is not much traffic nearby.
Four Seas Bar.
The two of them found a booth by the window and sat down. Wei Bing ordered two more bottles of foreign wine and several plates of snacks.
Pour wine.
Wei Bing clinked glasses with Tang Xiaobao, took a sip first, and then complained: "Your sister-in-law is very strict with me now. You are here tonight, otherwise, I won't be allowed to drink."
"Ah, that's not the case. I think my sister-in-law didn't care about drinking before." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.
Wei Bing sighed: "There is nothing I can do. My blood pressure has been a little high recently. The doctor told me to drink less."
"How about I give you a prescription later?"
"Okay, I forgot, you are also a great miracle doctor." Wei Bing's eyes lit up, and he said with some envy: "You said I envy you. You are obviously a miracle doctor, but you can sing and act, and you are obviously a billionaire.
But you don’t care about the company at all, and you do whatever you want to do, and now you don’t even know what you do. Unlike me, I have been stuck in the Public Security Bureau all my life, and I am still only at the deputy director level."
Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "You are satisfied. How old are you? You are already at the deputy director level. You are already very good. However, I think the old man will soon be relegated to the second line. Why are you not here?"
Give you a hand before I go down? Why are you still in the criminal police team?"
Wei Bing drank again.
He smiled: "Is this fast? I still think it's too slow. I'm already in my thirties now, but let me tell you, I should be promoted in the second half of the year."
"What do you mean? You want to be the chief? The old man hasn't withdrawn yet."
"What are you talking about? My dad is the director of public security. If I become the director of the police, what will others say? It's definitely impossible. I'm going to be promoted to the director level." Wei Bing blinked: "Then, I will be promoted to the police chief."
Send him to the lower county town to be the deputy county magistrate and public security director."
"So sure?"
"Of course, do you really think there is no one in my province?" Wei Bing chuckled and said, "No one in the officialdom has anyone above me. However, I am planning to go to your Tongjiang County."
Tang Xiaobao nodded and raised his glass: "This is a good thing. It's time to have a drink. It will be much more convenient if you go to our Tongjiang County. I still have many tourism projects there. I will feel relieved if you can help me look after it."
Too much."
"I think so too. I can go to your house to see you two when I have time."
Tang Xiaobao was a little moved and took the initiative to help Wei Bing pour wine.
The two chatted for a while, and Wei Bing suddenly whispered: "Brother, we are not outsiders. You asked me to help you find a car a few days ago. What happened?"
Tang Xiaobao was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I didn't say anything."
Wei Bing is knowledgeable.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said: "Well, actually you want to know. It's not that I can't tell you. There are just some things that I don't want you to know for fear of embarrassing you. You are the captain of the criminal police after all. If something really happens, I don't want you to have any worries.
.”
Wei Bing's expression changed slightly and he nodded: "Okay, then don't tell me."
"Okay, come on, let's continue drinking."
After clinking glasses, the two of them changed the topic while drinking.
Suddenly, the sound of someone quarreling came from the booth next door.
In fact, the sound was not loud, but there was only a board between them, and Tang Xiaobao and Wei Bing's ears were sharp, so it was difficult not to hear them.
"Mr. Li, don't do this."
"Xiao Chen, hehe, I drank too much, I'm sorry."
Tang Xiaobao frowned.
Wei Bing was stunned and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"This voice is very familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere."
Tang Xiaobao said with some confusion.
"Why don't you go take a look, maybe there is a chance for a hero to save the beauty."
Wei Bing didn't think so, so he joked.
Tang Xiaobao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, no one can recognize me like I am now. Besides, maybe I heard wrong."
He said this, but in his heart he firmly believed that he must know the good guy Xiao Chen who was talking next door. He was quite confident in his memory.
This was just a small episode. Tang Xiaobao didn't pay attention to it at first, but in the end, he couldn't hold it back.
Because there was another sound coming from next door.
"Mr. Li, let go. If you don't let me go, I'll get angry."
