night.
Beijing.
capital Airport.
It was getting dark and it was already past eight o'clock.
Dong Xuebin also came here in a hurry. It was a bit late. In the taxi, he kept checking his watch. Finally, when the car stopped, Dong Xuebin stuffed a hundred yuan into his pocket and said there was no need to change it, and then got out of the car and went straight to the airport. In the lobby, look left and right, searching for your phone.
"Xue Bin!" A female voice came from behind.
"Xue Bin!" It was another male voice.
Dong Xuebin turned around and smiled immediately, "Tan Zi! Zhuang Zi!"
Standing behind them were Sun Zhuang and Tan Limei. These two were colleagues of Dong Xuebin just after he was admitted to the civil service. They worked together for a lot of time in Guoan in the west of the city. They had a good relationship from the beginning. Seeing the old acquaintances, Dong Xuebin was in a good mood. He looked good too, with a big smile.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, we just arrived."
"I told you not to make a trip, so I can just go find you."
"Haha, you are a big leader now, how can I let you run away?"
"Look, am I shabby? I heard that you two are doing well now. Congratulations."
"No, you are treating us badly. I have just been promoted as director, and I am still a deputy department. I can't compare with you. There are hundreds of blocks behind me. I heard that you have already served as the executive deputy county magistrate? Have you entered the deputy department of the Standing Committee? I’m sorry, you’ve been promoted too quickly, haven’t you mentioned it in less than a year?”
Tan Limei is still so cheerful and has not changed.
Sun Zhuang was still so shy, not very talkative, and just smiled honestly.
But it can also be felt. The two of them are much more mature than before, and the same goes for Dong Xuebin. Otherwise, the system is better at tempering people.
Dong Xuebin reached out and patted Sun Zhuang on the shoulder, "You have gained weight again. Haha, I heard that you two are married? Why didn't you tell me?"
Sun Zhuang smiled and said: "The wedding hasn't been held yet."
Tan Limei snorted: "I just got the certificate, I have to test him. If he doesn't satisfy me, the wedding will not be held, and we will get divorced directly."
Sun Zhuang smiled bitterly.
Dong Xuebin was also happy.
Dong Xuebin was promoted a few years ago, and Tan Limei and Sun Zhuang were both cautious in their own affairs. Dong Xuebin always felt a little twisted. Now that Tan Limei is also a small cadre, her temperament has also changed. It can be clearly felt that she is much more confident than before, and she has returned to her previous appearance in front of Dong Xuebin, talking and laughing non-stop, like a pistachio. Dong Xuebin also likes this feeling, friends, if we get along with each other with fear It's not interesting, he doesn't like his friends to be too polite to him.
They hadn't seen each other for so long that they lost track of time and chatted for a long time.
Finally, we talked about the scene when the three of them first entered the system and encountered obstacles and caution. Several people also smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
A few years ago, all three of them were ordinary clerks.
But today, a few years later, all three of them are now cadres, and Sun Zhuang, the lowest ranking member, seems to have become deputy director.
ten minutes later.
Sun Zhuang touched Tan Limei. "It's nine o'clock."
Tan Limei slapped her forehead, "Look at my brain, Xue Bin, here, it's all done!"
I took it and turned it over, everything was ready. Dong Xuebin said: "Thank you very much. The matter is urgent this time, otherwise I wouldn't want to trouble you two."
Tan Limei said displeased: "You're so polite, don't you think of us as buddies?"
Dong Xuebin laughed and said, "Of course I do. Anyway, call me if you have anything to do in the future. I can't handle big things, but small things are still no problem."
Tan Limei laughed and said, "That's for sure."
Sun Zhuang looked at him and said, "You are going this time..."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "It's a business trip."
"But you..." Sun Zhuang looked at his injured arm and thigh.
Dong Xuebin said: "It's a small injury, it's not a problem."
Tan Limei looked at her watch, "Let's stop talking. Xue Bin, hurry up and pass the security check. The last flight is at 9:40. If you can't catch it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Okay, here's the money for the air ticket." Dong Xuebin paid her.
Tan Limei's eyes widened, "Take it back, take it back, what are you doing?"
Sun Zhuang said: "Tan Zi also has some energy with the bureau now. The air tickets are free. Just call the Sixth Bureau and someone will take care of it. As you know, we have a lot to do with the airport. , but if you’re in a hurry, this flight only offers economy class.”
Tan Limei said: "Come on, Xue Bin, don't delay your schedule. You don't have to be polite about this little thing. I'll be embarrassed if you are too polite."
"Haha, okay, I'll contact you another day."
"Well, have a nice trip."
"By the way, don't tell anyone about my departure."
"Don't worry, I keep my mouth shut, I understand."
After waving goodbye to his two old friends, Dong Xuebin turned around and went to the security check to go through the formalities.
…
On the plane.
Dong Xuebin was the last one to come up. Because of the plaster on his hand, he almost didn't come in after a long time of security check. Fortunately, he managed to catch up. After finding his seat, Dong Xuebin sat down, put on his seat belt, exhaled, looked out the window, and finally took out his cell phone and called Zhang Longjuan.
Shut down.
Or shut down.
Dong Xuebin shook his head, put away his phone, closed his eyes and rested.
One hour…
Two hours…
three hours…
With a flick of his eyelids, Dong Xuebin suddenly woke up from his sleep. He heard the sound of the plane's horn in his ears and felt that the plane was landing. It landed on the runway not long after.
finally reached.
Look at the clock, it's not even one o'clock in the morning.
Following the sparse crowd, Dong Xuebin got off the plane. This was his first time here. After leaving the airport, he looked around at this strange city. He took out a piece of paper in his hand to read, and then called out asked a passerby passing by, "Excuse me, where is this hotel?"
The man looked like a tourist. He looked down and said, "Oh, just keep walking along the road. It's about a few hundred meters away. It's not far from the airport and you can get there in five minutes."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Dong Xuebin took a deep breath and limped in that direction. His steps were fast and his expression was not relaxed.
Dong Xuebin lied to Huilan and his mother Xu Yan that he was going back to the capital to see a doctor. Of course, he didn't want them to worry that something might happen to Sister Zhang. Dong Xuebin couldn't just sit back and watch, let alone pretend not to see it. So when he came, even if Zhang Longjuan had nothing to do in the end, Dong Xuebin had to come over. Sister Zhang was very good to him, and Dong Xuebin had to return the favor.
Hope nothing happens.
Otherwise, he would have to cause trouble again. If Huilan and Aunt Xuan found out about it, they wouldn't know how to scold themselves. Alas.
