Guan Xinchang looked at Sophie, and then laughed, "Sit down, Xiaochen is right, there are no outsiders here."
Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, she only dared to sit on half of the chair.
She hesitated for a moment, "Director Guan, Zhao Dong..."
Guan Xinchang interrupted skillfully, "By the way, Qin Bin, let me introduce to you, this is your Brother Chen!"
Qin Bin stepped forward and saluted Xiong Chen respectfully, "Brother Chen, I have heard of you for a long time. I am Xiao Bin. I used to be a soldier in Tianjing!"
"But I retired later, and now I work in the Secretariat of the Public Security Bureau. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to contact me."
Sophie gritted her teeth. Guan Xinchang's secretary, deputy director of the city bureau, was an extraordinary figure, but she didn't have the slightest temper in front of Xiong Chen.
Xiong Chen asked carelessly, "Do you know me?"
Qin Bin explained, "Of course I know you. I used to hang out with brother Jingyu and often heard him mention you, but you were out on missions at that time and I never saw you!"
Xiong Chen didn't answer the call again.
It is said that the officialdom is a big dye vat. After several years of absence, Guan Xinchang's city is getting deeper and deeper.
But it doesn't matter, if Guan Xinchang dares to embarrass Sophie, he will dare to embarrass Qin Bin.
Qin Bin looked embarrassed, neither standing nor sitting.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Guan Xinchang took the initiative to ask, "What is the relationship between Zhao Dong who was brought back yesterday and you?"
The whole morning, the phone was almost buzzing with calls, mostly related to the Wei family, and they only wanted one thing, that the perpetrators of the beatings should be severely punished.
On Zhao Dong's side, on the other hand, except for Xiong Chen, who stayed at the Public Security Bureau and refused to leave, it was quiet and no one called to beg for mercy.
Three years ago, for the sake of the old chief, he would have let him go.
But that's not possible right now. Officialdom is really no match for being a soldier. Every step you take must be done step by step.
After hesitation, he wanted to adopt Xiong Chen's tone.
Xiong Chen did not accept the move and changed the subject: "Uncle Guan, I heard that Jingyu has been doing well in the past two years?"
Guan Xinchang smiled heartily and looked even more proud, "You brat, you were naughty and mischievous back then, but now you are still doing well. You were promoted to deputy company just last year."
After a pause in his tone, he continued: "By the way, he also said that when he has some free time at the end of the year, he wants to have a drink with you!"
Xiong Chen joked, "Damn it, Jingyu is still so fucking hypocritical! If you want to drink with me, why don't you wait until the end of the year? I'll be free tomorrow!"
Guan Xinchang pretended not to understand his dissatisfaction, "Xiaochen, you don't know that Jingyu has been selected into Tianjing's Sharp Knife Camp."
He waved his hand, "I get a headache when I talk about him. He has to participate in various international missions every month. He can't even talk to me about it. I really can't get out of it!"
When speaking, Guan Xinchang's tone was not without pride.
Really proud.
It is also known as "Seventy-Two Division" to the outside world, a special department outside the independent system, with the rank of official three levels higher.
The power is astonishing. A director like him can take someone away with just a phone call without asking any reason or formalities.
It is precisely because of this that he has gained some confidence in the past two years, and he is not as caring as before towards the Xiong family.
Just like today's incident, if the old head of the Xiong family had personally greeted him, he would have released him unconditionally.
A Xiong Chen?
The portion size is not enough.
Xiong Chen grinned, "Don't have time? That's not easy. I'll ask Brother Dong to make a call and I can give him a long vacation in minutes!"
Guan Xinchang's expression changed, "Xiaochen, what do you mean?"
Xiong Chen apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Guan, I said the wrong thing."
Before Guan Xinchang could breathe a sigh of relief, he grinned and said, "There's no need to call. If anyone knows, Guan Jingyu and I actually arrested Brother Dong."
"I can guarantee that he will be spanked to the end and kicked out seventy-two places without waiting until tomorrow!"
Guan Xinchang stood up with a slap on the table, and with it, the temperature in the entire lounge dropped again and again!
Sophie was frightened by the formation in front of her.
The conversation in her ears just now made her confused. She couldn't understand anything and didn't dare to ask anything.
Especially the expression on Guan Xinchang's face made her stand up hurriedly, not daring to breathe and remaining as silent as a chill.
Xiong Chen signaled, "Sister-in-law, please sit down quickly. It's okay. My uncle Guan is just like this. He is joking with us all the time!"
Guan Xinchang's expression changed, and then he said with a smile, "That's right, you two sit down first, and I'll go out for a while."
Qin Bin stepped forward, refilled the tea for the two of them, and then whispered, "Miss Su, how did you and Zhao Dong know each other?"
Xiong Chen interrupted with a sneer, "Qin Bin, you fucking followed Uncle Guan. You lost all your good traditions. Instead, you have a glib tone. You learned a lot from that old fox!"
Qin Bin froze. The description of "old fox" was correct.
Xiong Chen dared to say it, but he didn't dare to agree.
After chatting with them for a while, Guan Xinchang came back quickly and said, "Xiaochen, everything has been clarified. There is no misunderstanding. Nothing happened!"
Sophie stepped forward, "Guanju, is he really...really okay?"
Guan Xinchang said with a straight face, "What do you call Guanju? From now on, just like Xiaochen, call me Uncle Guan!"
Sophie couldn't adapt to this change and stiffly shouted, "Uncle Guan!"
Guan Xinchang smiled heartily, "That's right, don't worry, everyone is fine, the food is delicious, and you will definitely not suffer at Uncle Guan's expense!"
…
Half an hour later, Sophie walked out of the police station.
I haven't seen any sunlight for a day, so it's a bit dazzling.
Until now, she still hasn't figured out the situation.
Zhao Dong was released in a daze, signed and went through the formalities, without even having to pay a fine.
Guan Xinchang didn't come out, but he asked his secretary to deliver it to the door in person. This was an amazing honor.
She turned her head and saw Zhao Dong and Qin Bin nodding and bowing, with smiling faces and no temper at all, they were real little people.
Sophie really couldn't figure out what was so outstanding about this man that could actually change the attitude of "Guan Laohu"?
If Zhao Dong hadn't resolutely declined just now, Qin Bin would have even prepared a table of drinks to suppress the shock.
After all the outsiders had left, Xiong Chen asked dissatisfiedly, "Brother Dong, Qin Bin, why do you have to be so careful? Just now in the lounge, I wanted to slap him in the mouth, what the hell!"
Zhao Dong put a cigarette in his mouth to relieve his addiction, "I am different from you. I have a good old man, and we are just little people."
After blowing out the smoke, he continued to sigh, "Deputy Director of the Secretariat of the Public Security Bureau, tsk tsk tsk, what an official you are, you might be able to ask for help from someone else in the future!"
Xiong Chen didn't take it seriously, "You asked for it!"
I wanted to say something else, but seeing Sophie standing nearby, I suppressed my words.
He waved his hand, "Okay, I'm leaving first. Although a short separation is better than a wedding, you two should be more restrained!"
Sophie's face turned red, and even if she wanted to ask, she was too embarrassed to speak.
…
In the car.
Sophie didn't rush to start. She turned around and asked, "Zhao Dong, don't you want to explain it to me?"
Zhao Dong lowered the window, flicked off the cigarette ashes and asked, "Xiong Chen's father is a chief. Don't ask for details. I won't tell you if you ask. In short, he's pretty awesome."
Sophie stared, "That's not what I want to know!"
Zhao Dong turned his head, "Then what do you want to know?"
Sophie stared at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Dong grinned brightly and said: "Me?"
"I am just an ordinary person with a flat head, a native of Tianzhou, and I own an old house in Jiangbei District!"
"My father passed away. I have a brother, a sister-in-law, and an old mother who is seriously ill. My mother is very easy to talk to. I didn't see her that day. I will introduce her to you later."
"By the way, I also have a little nephew named Zhao Xiaoman. He is in junior high school. He is naughty and clever. You will definitely like him when you see him!"
Sophie said reluctantly, "It's gone?"
Zhao Dong scratched his head, "I used to be a soldier, but now I'm retired. I'm just a soldier with no power, no power, no background."
"I'm lucky to have a brother like Xiong Chen who has died. I dare to quarrel with the Wei family today because of him!"
Sophie still didn't believe it, "That's all?"
Zhao Dong said honestly, "That's really all. I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have any amazing background that you want to know!"
"I am currently working as a night shift security guard at Diyuan. During the probation period, my monthly salary is 5,200 yuan. I have five insurances and no provident fund. However, I will pay it after I become a full-time employee."
"I haven't been to work these days, and there has been such a big fuss. Whether I can keep my job or not is a question."
"So, there is no difference between me and a pauper now."
"I know that Aunt Mei will definitely look down on me. She also said on the phone last time that she dared to come to the Su family's door and break my dog's legs."
"In addition, I have offended your third uncle. If I really go to your house, I will definitely be kicked out!"
"Although I said at the beginning that I would be responsible for you, the premise is that we like each other."
"So you don't have to feel any burden, it's too late to regret now!"
Sophie was stunned and listened to what he said. The thoughts that she wanted to grasp at the beginning were all turned into paste by him.
Depressed, she stepped on the accelerator deeply.
Zhao Dong quickly grabbed the seat belt, "Where are you going?"
