Power and Wealth

Afternoon.

The cold winds of winter swept by.

Dong Xuebin, who was kicked out of his home by his mother, went downstairs alone, looked at Porsche and Land Rover downstairs, he reached for his pocket, but found that he didn't have a car key at all, let alone the key, Dong Xuebin just left in a hurry, almost beaten out by Xiaoping, he didn't even have his wallet and ID in his pocket, looked upside down, and finally Dong Xuebin only touched one phone, only brought it.

Go back and get it?

Come on, Mom is so angry, Dong Xuebin won't dare to go back. Even if he goes in, he'll have to be beaten up. At least not before Mom's pissed off.

I don't have any money. Where am I going?

Dong Xuebin had to make a phone call to Huilan.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. “Hello? ”

“Heilan, I don't have my wallet. Can you throw some money down the window for me? ”

But Xie Huilan was about to say something, but he killed Xiaoping's angry voice, obviously heard, “Don't give it to him! Give him nothing! You deserve to starve to death! I don't think I ever had him! ”

”Xie Huilan laughed bitterly.“ Ma, Xiaobin, she too...

“Leave him alone! Let him die for himself! Otherwise you won't recognize my mother!” The shouts on the phone shocked Dong Xuebin's eardrums.

Xie Huilan said helplessly: “You hear me? ”

“Yeah, well, forget it, I'll figure it out myself.” Dong Xuebin was frustrated.

Xie Huilan once said, "It's Saturday, you have two more days to go to work. If you can't, go to the city council reception for two nights. Do you need me to say hello? ”

“No, don't worry about it. ”

“Well, pay attention yourself. ”

“Okay, call me first if you need anything. Don't make my mom angry. ”

“Xie Xie knows, don't worry. ”

Xiaoping drank: “Why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Hang up!”

Xie Huilan immediately said: "Okay, I won't take care of him, I won't take care of him. ”

Dong Xuebin put down his phone with a gray face and sighed for a long time. This clog in his heart will stop him. What else can he do without money? There's no place to live anymore. He and the city don't have any relatives or friends who can go to live in the house. Even if they can, it's not convenient. Then who doesn't know that he was shot out of the house? Perhaps they thought they were wives, let their wives sweep the floor out, Dong Xuebin had the best face, so he was not ready to go to the city council hostel, so he could not go.

Street pedestrians come and go on weekends.

Dong Xuebin walked alone in the street. The feeling of homelessness suddenly struck his heart, making him in a bad mood.

Ugh, uh-uh.

You can't live with your sins. Who can blame you?

It's all his own fault!

Dong Xuebin had no place to go. He sneaked up to a park in a residential neighborhood to the west and looked to the left and right. Alas, he sat on a stone chair in the small garden, tightening the thin shirt on his body, and sat dry in the cold wind. He is in more than one miserable situation at the moment, no money, no clothes, freezing gave him enough choking, look at the retail department across the slope, he can't even drink hot milk, at least he is a billionaire, at least he is a deputy city discipline committee cadre, Dong Xuebin felt ashamed, he kept his head down, afraid to meet acquaintance.

Ten minutes... half an hour... an hour... clouds overhead, wind.

Dong Xuebin remembered yesterday's weather forecast that there was rain today. Seeing the weather change so fast, he immediately touched out his phone and put a lot of people's names through his mind, Geng Yuehua? He's still in the hospital! Luo Haiting? If you go to her house, it won't be easy for people to see you! Yu Mixia? She works with the bank now, Saturday should be work day, and she and Ceci are still living with her parents! To your own colleagues? But if the relationship is average, how can you explain it to them? Even if you don't live with them, it's not convenient to borrow money. What will people think of you? There's so much gossip in the field, he doesn't want it to be known, it's not a facial matter!

I thought half of Dong Xuebin didn't want to go anywhere.

But when Dong Xuebin tried to call Aunt Xuan and Huilan again to see if they could give him some money, when he looked at the phone, it was dark and the battery was dead!

It's raining at night!

Is this God punishing himself??

Seems to have heard Dong Xuebin's inner voice, suddenly there was a lightning bolt over the sky, then the thunder clamped with rain ticking and dropping!

It's not heavy, but it's not small.

“It's raining! ”

“Hurry home! ”

“Alas, this weather! ”

Dong Xuebin's hair and clothes got a little wet. He watched the residents of the neighborhood run home. He shouted, but could only run under a big tree to shelter from the rain. However, as the thunder became more intense, Dong Xuebin also felt that it was too dangerous to shelter from the rain under the tree, so it couldn't go on like this. Dong Xuebin, who had already beaten a sober and cold body, was very upset. He dragged his wet clothes. He bit his teeth and walked straight out of the neighborhood. He waited three or four minutes on the side of the road before an empty taxi parked in front of him.

In the car.

The driver asks, "Where's the boy going? ”

Dong Xuebin hesitated, "Go to Nanshan - District. ”

“Nanshan-ku? It's a little far.” The driver won't pull, “why don't you change the car? I don't usually go there. ”

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "Master, please, how can you let me take a cab this day? I waited half a day to meet you in this car. ”

And the driver thought, "Well... okay. ”

“Thank you.” Dong Xuebin's wet hair looked out the window.

I just got back from the South Mountains in the morning, and I have to go back the same way in the afternoon. Alas, it's a mess.

… South - Mountain.

The taxi arrived two hours later because of some traffic jams in the rainy weather.

Dong Xuebin pointed to the old neighborhood door of the previous year to stop the car. This is the leadership and family home of Fenzhou Municipal National Security Bureau in Nan-Shan District. Dong Xuebin came with Xu Yan once before, and also knew the road. It is not allowed to enter the neighborhood without a pass and permission for the vehicles outside. The reason for this visit to the director of the Municipal State Security Bureau, Xu Yan, Dong Xuebin was also considered in many ways. Once he came too familiar with Sister Xu, it was easy to say anything. Even if she lost someone, Xu Yan would not laugh at him. Second, Xu Yan had already divorced, lived alone, or in a department such as the National Security Bureau, it would be convenient for them to come by themselves. Others should have no gossip. Third, Xu Yan was not too young, he was more than forty years old. Even if they were found by his mother and Aunt Huilan Xu, they would not be suspicious.

Well, actually, half a day's reason was found. Mainly, Dong Xuebin wanted to come. When he was in a bad mood, Dong Xuebin especially wanted to talk to a woman by her last name. In Dong Xuebin's view, he was half his elder. He had a lot of experience in life and was naturally the most suitable candidate.

Outside the community.

Taxi stopped.

Dong Xuebin quickly said: “Master, wait a minute, I'll go to the doorman to make a phone call. ”

The driver wondered, “Somewhere else? ”

“No.” Dong Xuebin was a little embarrassed, "I... didn't bring my wallet when I went out. Sorry to ask a friend to take the money off. ”

The driver was stunned, "Oh, then call. ”

Dong Xuebin opened the car door with his head covered. It rained heavily against him and went straight to the guard room. Once upon a time, Dong Xuebin didn't blink his eyes and didn't read the price tag. Dozens of millions said he spent it, but now, he can't even pay two or three hundred dollars for the car. Alas.

Fence doorway.

A doorman stopped Dong Xuebin, “Who are you looking for? ”

"“ I'm looking for Director Xu Yan Xu, "said Dong Xuebin. ”

The doorman frowned, "I haven't been notified here. I'm sorry, I can't let you in. ”

Dong Xuebin pointed to the guardroom, “Can you call Director Xu's house for me? I told her.” I hesitated to see him, Dong Xuebin continued: “Friends, I've been here a lot of times. Today, mainly my phone is out of battery, can I borrow a phone to use the main office? ”

“Okay, what's your name? ”

“My name is Dong. ”

The doorman took Dong Xuebin into the doorman's room, and then picked up the phone and dialed a number from the inside, which came through momentarily.

"- [sic]“ Director Xu, there's a comrade named Dong outside looking for you. Look... ”

The voice of the first middle-aged woman said, "Dong? Xiao Dong? You give him the phone. ”

When the doorman handed over the phone, Dong Xuebin picked up and said bitterly: “Old leader, I'm Xiao Dong. ”

Xu Yan said faintly: “How come it rains when I think of you? Didn't you call before you got here? All right, come on up. ”

Dong Xuebin coughed: “I can't go up there right now. ”

Xu Yan shouted, “Hmm? What's the matter?”

Dong Xuebin was very embarrassed. “What, can I borrow some money first? I took a taxi from Xiping District, cough, cough, came out in a hurry, didn't bring my wallet, so..."

Xu Yan was happy as soon as he heard it. “Okay, I get it. ”

“Thank you so much. ”

“You give the phone to the doorman. ”

The doorman picked up the line, "Director Xu. ”

Xu Yanwei strictly said: "My godson doesn't have a wallet. Are you a newcomer than that? Do you have money on your side? Help my dry son advance the fare first, and I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”

Director Xu's godson?

The doorman said, "Okay, no problem. ”

Hanging up the phone, the doorman obviously showed a lot of courtesy to Dong Xuebin, turned out his wallet and walked to the taxi with Dong Xuebin, and put the car money on the mat.

Dong Xuebin shook his hand and thanked him. “Comrade, please. ”

"It's all right," said the doorman. "Go inside. Director Xu is waiting for you at home. ”

This day is doomed to be unforgettable for Dong Xuebin, who rarely hastened to do so.
