Dong Xuebin parked the car at the entrance of Yunde Auction Company. As he got out of the car and walked into the company, he was wondering if he had an illness, a recurrence of an old illness? A cold? Anyway, he found an excuse to put this matter aside first.
No? When I think about it, it’s not good. The sick escape is too obvious and even a fool can see it. This will leave a bad impression on Mr. Xie and Sister Xie’s parents. It’s better to bite the bullet and go for it.
Forget it, what are you talking about?
Brother, who have you been afraid of since you were a kid?
"Is Xiao Tao'er here?" Dong Xuebin asked a girl at the front desk.
When the girl saw Dong Xuebin, she immediately recognized him and knew that this man had a special relationship with Mr. Qu. "Are you looking for Mr. Qu's secretary? Wait a moment, I will contact you right away."
Not long after, Xiao Taoer came down from upstairs.
Dong Xuebin didn't talk nonsense, "Do you have the key to Yunxuan's safe? Get me a box of wild ginseng."
Xiao Taoer knew that those wild ginseng belonged to him, "You go up with me? How old are you going to get them?"
"I won't go. Well, it will be fifty years old. I remember there is still a box."
Originally, only Qu Yunxuan had the key to the safe, but she went on a trip to Hong Kong and Macao with her parents. She was afraid that something might happen to the company, so she gave the key to Xiao Taoer. If it were someone else, Xiao Taoer might have to call and ask Qu Yunxuan, but Dong Xuebin
If so, there is no need. You can just report it to Mr. Qu afterwards, so Xiao Taoer quickly went upstairs to open the safe and took down a box of 50-year-old wild ginseng.
Dong Xuebin was in a hurry and left after taking it.
Early six o'clock.
Xishan, villa area.
He drove in based on his memory, and saw the majestic house from a distance. The sight of the armed guards made people feel solemn. Dong Xuebin took a deep breath, looked at his watch, and felt that he was a little late. He put the car in
After parking in the garage, she called Xie Huilan. Unexpectedly, Sister Xie hadn't arrived yet. There was a traffic jam on the Fourth Ring Road. She had just gotten off the main road. With about ten minutes left, she asked Dong Xuebin to wait for her at the door.
After a while, a new model black Passat drove over.
The make of the car is that of the Yantai County Government, and Xie Huilan drove here alone.
Xie Huilan was dressed very beautifully today. When she got out of the car, she had a coat on her arm, a bag with a bell, neatly tied hair, a gray lady's suit, brown trousers, and black high heels. Compared with her
Wearing a black suit that has not changed for thousands of years, this color matching outfit is much more feminine and has a very elegant and luxurious feeling. Dong Xuebin looks very comfortable, at least not so serious.
Dong Xuebin came up to greet her, "You are so beautiful today."
"Haha, thank you." Xie Huilan smiled, "Have you brought anything?"
Dong Xuebin raised the bag of wild ginseng in his hand and said, "All the ones aged in the 50s and older are auctioned off, so this is the one."
"It's several hundred thousand, isn't that enough?" Xie Huilan took her clothes and bag in one hand, took a few steps forward, and took his hand generously, "Let's go in."
Dong Xuebin glanced at the straddled arm and coughed, "Yeah."
In front of the villa, two guards stopped Dong Xuebin and wanted to search him. This was a normal procedure. Dong Xuebin was also searched the last time he came here. He knew that this was to prevent any accidents. Although Dong Xuebin felt uncomfortable, he
There are other people's rules, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you need to search me? Huh?"
The guard's arm stretched out towards Dong Xuebin hesitated slightly.
"This is my boyfriend." Xie Huilan looked at them, "What's the problem?"
The two guards looked at each other, stepped back, and continued to stand guard without searching him again.
When Dong Xuebin came here last time, he was not very familiar with Xie Huilan, so the body search was a normal procedure, and it didn't matter. But this time Dong Xuebin came to visit Xie Huilan as her boyfriend. If he does this kind of distrust again
, Xie Huilan is not good-looking either.
After entering the hospital, Xie Huilan asked: "When you meet the elders later, you can call me whatever I call you."
Dong Xuebin hummed subconsciously, and suddenly said sweatily: "You call me mom and dad, so do I?"
Xie Huilan smiled, "I mean my eldest uncle and second uncle. As for my parents, hehe, you can call me parents if you want, as long as you can."
Of course Dong Xuebin couldn't scream, he was not that thick-skinned.
"By the way, among the third generation, I am the eldest sister in the family, so you don't have to be so polite to the younger ones."
"Yeah, I understand." Dong Xuebin adjusted his mentality and took a deep breath.
At this time, before Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan entered the villa, there was a sound of talking in the courtyard next to them. Looking sideways, two middle-aged men were smoking and chatting. The two looked somewhat similar.
They were two brothers. One had a thick and strong voice, while the other had a steady and calm voice. There was a middle-aged woman sitting next to them, listening to them with a smile and chiming in from time to time.
Xie Huilan hugged him and said, "Let's go and say hello."
"These three are..." Dong Xuebin asked in a low voice.
"The man who spoke unhurriedly is my uncle Xie Guoliang, my dad's younger brother, the second oldest in the second generation. He has a very good temper, haha. Anyway, I rarely see him get angry." Xie Huilan slowed down.
, whispered: "Now my uncle works with the Ministry of Finance, as the First Deputy Minister."
Deputy Minister of Finance?
Dong Xuebin was shocked and felt a little embarrassed this time.
Xie Huilan continued: "The other two are my second uncle and my second aunt, Xie Guojian and Ci Lifen. My second uncle is also the third child in the family. Xiaohao's father has a temper similar to that of my grandfather. He is a bit tough and sometimes he can't listen.
People advise me, but I am very upright. Well, my second uncle now works for the General Political Department of the Military Commission, deputy director of the General Political Department, and a lieutenant general. My second aunt works for the State Administration of Press and Publication. She is not the top leader, but she is also in the lower department.
Number one."
Deputy Director of General Administration of the Military Commission?
Leader of the General Administration of Press and Publication?
Dong Xuebin's heart tightened, thinking who the hell are these people! The first deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, who is probably an official at the ministerial level, and the deputy director of the General Political Department, Lieutenant General, just move to the next level.
Let’s go to the Military Commission. Even if it’s the State Press and Publication Administration under Aunt Xie Huilan, the head of the department is probably a bureau-level cadre. It’s really hard to compare people with each other, and you have to throw away goods when comparing goods.
"Huh? Huilan is here?" Ci Lifen saw them.
Xie Guoliang said with a smile: "You are too late and the whole family is waiting for you?"
Xie Huilan took Dong Xuebin and walked quickly for two steps, and said with a smile: "There is a traffic jam on the road. I didn't mean it. Haha, uncle, second uncle, and second aunt, I wish you a good year."
Dong Xuebin also said: "Uncle, second uncle, second aunt, wish you a happy New Year."
Xie Huilan introduced: "This is Dong Xuebin."
Xie Hao's mother Ci Lifen looked at him up and down, smiled and nodded, "Yes, the young man is very energetic."
Xie Guoliang also smiled and nodded slightly to Dong Xuebin. As Sister Xie said, he felt quite kind.
It's just that Xie Guojian wasn't very enthusiastic. He just said yes and said nothing more, but he didn't show any emotion to Dong Xuebin either. On the surface, it was still passable.
Dong Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was not as bad as he thought.
After chatting for a while, Xie Guoliang smiled and said: "Okay, go see the old man in the house, I'll wait for you."
Xie Huilan nodded and said, "It's almost time to eat. You and my second uncle should stop smoking a few cigarettes. What good is that thing for the body? Haha, let's go first."
Xie Guojian laughed loudly, "You little girl, are you even in charge of me now?"
Ci Lifen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Huilan is right. Why don't you smoke less and want to be hospitalized again?"
The family atmosphere feels good.
Outside the villa, Xie Huilan held her hand on the door and did not push it open. Instead, she turned her head and said to Dong Xuebin: "My aunt, sister-in-law and brother-in-law were busy with work and they didn't come over. When I called, Xiaoran and the others seemed to have arrived. Xie Ran was
My brother and Xie Jing are my sisters. They are one or two years younger than me and a little older than you. They are the children of my uncle Xie Guoliang. Well, Xie Ran has mixed seniority with the Beijing Youth League Committee and has just been promoted to deputy director.
, Xie Jing works at Xinhua News Agency, well, that’s about it, our family’s situation is probably like this.”
Dong Xuebin was a little depressed. He thought that his official position was very high. No one wants to compare with others. He is nothing. Even Xie Ran, the youngest of the generation, is a deputy chief.
"Then go in?"
"……Um."
Pushing open the door, Xie Huilan entered the room with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late due to traffic jam, haha."
Xie Huilan's mother, Han Jingzheng, was sitting on the sofa with Xie Guobang. She raised her head when she heard the sound and glanced at Xie Huilan. "Every time you ask everyone to wait for you, how many times has it been for you? You will make excuses." After that,
, Han Jing looked at Dong Xuebin and smiled softly, "Xiaobin is here? Come in quickly."
Dong Xuebin said respectfully: "Uncle, aunt, happy New Year."
Xie Guobang, member of the Politburo and secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, looked at him and nodded slightly, "Here you come? Sit down."
"Haha, happy New Year." Han Jing was very enthusiastic and asked Dong Xuebin to sit down.
When he met Han Jing last time, Mrs. Han's attitude towards him was still very normal, but this time Dong Xuebin only said a few words and it was obvious that Mrs. Han had changed a lot towards him. Dong Xuebin thought that it must be that
After saving Sister Xie's life with a time bomb, Mrs. Han changed, right? Or maybe it was because her work ability was recognized? Khan, this should be impossible.
There are only two people in the living room, Xie Guobang and Han Jing, and the others may be upstairs.
Xie Guobang sat as steady as a mountain, while Han Jing took Dong Xuebin's hand cordially and talked to him. At the end, he also expressed his gratitude for the time bomb. If Dong Xuebin hadn't stepped forward to defuse the bomb,
Xie Huilan is gone now.
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "Mom, you are so enthusiastic and you scare Xiaobin, haha, let Xiaobin drink some water and catch his breath first."
Women are outward-looking. Han Jing glanced at her daughter angrily and said to her heart that you do care about your man.
