Zheng Feng wanted to find a crack in the floor and crawl into it. His face turned red with shame. Even Xin Qi and others felt pitiful when they looked at him.

Chen Huai glanced at Zheng Feng. He didn't care what the boy was thinking. He ignored the request of the driver Wei Yue. He just spread his hands to Chen Bing and said, "I didn't expect that my family would send a car to the station entrance. It seems that I want to go home first to deal with it. I'm sorry to ask Director Chen for a free trip..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take the cigarette that Shao Zheng asked you to bring back, even if it's not in vain." Chen Bing joked with a smile.

Chen Bing also looked at the tall driver's eyes, thinking about what he said.

It is said that Chen Huai is very big, but how big is it? Like Qian Wenhui and He Qingshe, the people who are already considered Shen Huai's direct descendants, are not very clear. Everything looks cloudy and foggy, and the darkness is as deep as Chen Bing is naturally even less clear. Since Chen Huai's experience in Donghua over the past year, it is difficult to find any trace of pearl silk horses.

This simple scene in front of him made Chen Bing see many clues.

When Chen Bing went to Yanjing to serve as the director of the Municipal Office in Beijing, his first task was to understand the branches of Yanjing so that the city could find a way to do business in Yanjing, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Generally speaking, as long as the city-level leaders of Yanjing are not members of the Politburo, even if they have guards, they are ordinary personnel affiliated to the Security Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. In peacetime, only military generals and senior party and government officials such as the Politburo members usually have full-time guards affiliated to the guard forces, and even after retirement, they will retain some political treatment.

Chen Bing learned from Shao Zheng that Chen Huai was coming back to celebrate his 80th birthday for his family. He thought that it was the "old man" that the tall man in front of him said.

Chen Bing thought to himself that there was an old man who had retired from the position of a military officer or a member of the Politburo at home. This background is so salivating. It is indeed not something that the few small reptiles in Donghua City can compete with.

After the tall man transferred from the security forces, he did not return to his hometown, but went to the Ministry of Agriculture to work as a driver. Today, he was assigned by the so-called "Director Song" to pick up Chen Huai home. This "Director Song" is also Chen Huai's family.

Chen Bing couldn't figure out who the department-level officials under the Ministry of Agriculture were surnamed Song. He thought about going back and asking for it, so he naturally didn't mind picking up the car Chen Huai sent to his family.

Xiong Dailing, Xin Qi and others were not as deep as Chen Bing thought, and they could only see the surface when they looked at things. From the brief conversation between the tall driver Wei Yue and Chen Huai, they also knew that Zheng Feng's father could only be an ordinary cadre in the Ministry of Agriculture, and Chen Huai was the real big-name one.

Xiong Dailing was surprised and thought it should be like this. Her father and Zhou Ming would occasionally talk about some official topics in front of her, involving Chen Huai. Even though Zhou Ming complained about Chen Huai and her father was much more relaxed, they all thought that Chen Huai's family background was much more complicated than they thought.

Everything in front of her was just to verify the guesses of her father and Zhou Ming. She looked at Chen Huai with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say, but she felt lonely because she was getting farther apart from each other.

Xiong Dailing didn't even understand why Chen Huai's relationship with her family suddenly became so bad.

Xin Qi's mind was much simpler. When they met yesterday, they attracted Chen Huai's funny conversation and extraordinary and mature demeanor. Especially after knowing that Chen Huai exchanged the soft sleeper ticket for his mother with a sick child, he felt more fond of him and was also curious about Chen Huai's identity: a young man with a household registration in Yanjing left home and did not return in the year of the year, but ran to Donghua City, a remote village, to be a township cadre. Somehow, people think there are many stories to dig in it.

At this time, Xin Qi would not sympathize with Zheng Feng who wanted to find a crack to get in. Instead, she came over and looked at Chen Huai with a smile and said, "Okay, both cars are picked up for you. It's so majestic, but we are very pitiful. We can only squeeze into the bus on this hot day..."

Chen Huai also has a good impression of Xiong Dailing, a generous and proactive classmate.

Since he lived directly and went home, there was no need to deliberately avoid any suspicion. He asked Xiong Dailing: "You have not arranged any accommodation, why don't you go back with Director Chen?" He asked Chen Bing again, "Can you have free rooms in the Donghua Hotel these two days?"

The Municipal Office in Beijing runs a hotel in Yanjing. In addition to making it convenient for officials from Donghua to Yanjing to have a place to settle down, the officials in the Municipal Office in Beijing can also be able to operate a side job. Chen Bing also serves as the general manager of Donghua Hotel.

"Dailing went to Yanjing to Yanjing and her classmates to Yanjing. If I don't make any arrangements, I will definitely not show me the next time I meet Xiong Wenbin," Chen Bing smiled and said, "You go first, I will call a car..."

"Then I'll bother you, Director Chen," Chen Huai said, looking at Zheng Feng again, and smiled, "Xiao Zheng, are we going to take you home first, or do you want to go to the Donghua Hotel with Dailing and the others?"

Zheng Feng felt a turbulent heart. As a citizen at the foot of the imperial city, caring about current affairs is a major feature. People like the eight princes in the capital can usually say that one of them is Chou and Yin and Mao.

Zheng Feng didn't know what relationship Chen Huai had with Director Song Bingsheng of the Personnel Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, but he could probably guess that he was a child of the Song family, but why did his surname be "Chen"?

Under the dazzling halo of the Song family, Zheng Feng felt like a clown who was stripped naked and threw it into the spotlight. He was embarrassed and ashamed, and wished he could run away from this world.

Chen Huai naturally didn't care too much about the little character Zheng Feng, but he didn't want to lose his grace in front of Xiong Dailing, so he asked this question: If Zheng Feng really had the psychological quality of riding with him, he might have looked up to him.

Chen Huai explained the relationship between Zheng Feng and Xiong Dailing and the others to Chen Bing and the others, and then he left Xiong Dailing and her classmates to Chen Bing and the others, and sued him, and he left with the tall Wei Yue first.

***************

Sitting in the C3 model imported from abroad in the mid-80s, it was officially modified this year and called the "A6". Chen Huai looked at the street scenes of the rapid retreat on both sides with emotion.

The previous "Shen Huai" only lived in Yanjing for four years; but he was the real one after work, because the city steel mill and a research institute under the Ministry of Finance had to jointly study and overcome a steelmaking technical problem. He was the technical representative of the factory and had the opportunity to stay in Yanjing for two months.

During those two months, we were in the institute. We only took a day to visit the **, monuments, memorials and other places, and we really didn't leave a deeper impression of Yanjing.

Chen Huai and Wei Yue met for the first time, but they were not familiar with each other, and they were pretending to be in their hearts. They didn't talk to him when they got in the car. They sat in the back seat of the genuine leather, allowing the tall Wei Yue to drive happily while driving in front.

Wei Yue took the initiative to reverse his situation with Chen Huai in a very enthusiastic manner:

His hometown is a rural area in Liaoning, Northeast China. He joined the army in 1986. Because he was big, he practiced boxing in a young age, and was well-known, so he was a rare opportunity to be assigned to the Central Guard Force. However, at that time, Chen Huai had already left abroad, so he didn't know the few guards next to the old man.

The tall Wei Yue was demoted from the security forces last year. He had to retire from the army and returned to the local area, and he couldn't even get a job. The old man had a good relationship with the staff around him, so he called his third son, namely Chen Huai's father, Song Bingsheng, and arranged the tall Wei Yue to be a driver in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Audi is already spacious enough, but it squeezed Wei Yue's 1.9 meters tall, blocking the driver's seat like a mountain.

Chen Huai thought that he had been a guard by the old man for many years and should have known many secrets of the Song family. Seeing that he was just talking about his own affairs, he did not ask anything randomly or say anything else, and told him that he could not infer other information from his words. He also found it interesting. He thought that he was a guard and had a strong sense of confidentiality, not just a saying.

Chen Huai guessed that Tan Qiping knew that the old man had his birthday, and even if he couldn't come here in person, he would call to express his congratulations and apologize. Only then did Tan Qiping's mouth ask the Song family to know that he took the train back to Yanjing. As for how Tan Qiping knew about his itinerary, it was probably from Pan Shihua or someone else's mouth.

As the secretary of the town party committee, Chen Huai cannot leave Donghua casually, so he needs to ask for leave from the district and report his itinerary.

Even if the driver was sent to pick up the station, I had not contacted him by phone before, and Chen Huai felt a sense of indifference from his heart. He thought, if he had to send the driver to pick him up, he might have to show it to outsiders.

The car stopped in front of an old apartment building that looked half new and not old. Wei Yue turned around and said to Chen Huai: "Director Song said you haven't been home for years. This time I suddenly came back without saying anything. The room at home has not been cleaned up. I will let you stay here for a few days..."

He thought his "father" sent a driver to pick up the station because he wanted to show more affection in front of outsiders, but he didn't expect that his "father" just didn't want him to suddenly break back to the "home", so he arranged for the driver to pick up the station and arranged his temporary residence...

Chen Huai was silent and didn't say anything. What could he say? He had originally planned to find a hotel to live in first.

Wei Yue took the backpack that had only stuffed a few items of changing clothes and personal belongings, and accompanied Chen Huai to the elevator upstairs.

There are several families in an elevator unit. It was quiet at this time, and it was not like someone was at home. Wei Yue took out the key and opened the door in the innermost corner, placed the key on the shoe cabinet inside the door, and said to Chen Huai: "Director Song also wants me to go back to work in the department. Look, what's missing? I'll send it to you when I get off work?"

Looking at the traces of the room, it seemed that no one had moved in for a long time, but the furniture was brand new and the appliances were all there, so there should be no shortage of anything. Chen Huai said to Wei Yue: "Don't bother you anymore, I just found a place to sleep..." Since "father and son" were disgusted with each other, what should I do if a driver was stuck in the middle? Chen Huai took his backpack and asked Wei Yue not to come over again.

"Then I'll leave first." The tall Wei Yue said, and went downstairs. He, an outsider, could not say anything about the Song family.
