Power and Wealth

Three days later.

12 noon.

Jiangnan Province, provincial capital.

A taxi stopped outside the airport, Dong Xuebin paid to get off, didn't take any large luggage, sneaked in with a small bag, looked at the watch, it was not too far from boarding time, Dong Xuebin unfortunately took a look at the scenery outside the airport, had no time to visit the provincial capital, or go to Macau-Marcago first, and when he had time to come back, he would sneak around with the provincial city.

In the lobby.

Dong Xuebin went to go through the formalities.

The bell bell, the wife's number pops up on the phone.

Dong Xuebin took a look and answered: “Are we all here? ”

“Just off the plane, here we are.” Xie Huilan smiled. “What about you? ”

“I haven't boarded yet. I just got my boarding pass. You're fast.” Dong Xuebin Dao.

Xie Huilan laughed, “Morning plane, can't you hurry? Then take your time, let's go to the hotel first. ”

Dong Xuebinyi, “Send me the address when you get there, I'll come to you. ”

“With or without you, Xie arranged a car to pick you up? Shall I say hello to the hotel?” Xie Huilando.

Dong Xuebin shook his head, “Come on, you went to study and study. Family is a welfare. Let's not make it special. It's not good for people to see. This tour is led by Jia Deputy Governor, right? Then be even more careful, play is the main thing this time, don't make that unnecessary trouble. ”

“Oh, it was him. ”

“Hmm? What was it? ”

“The letter I just received this morning, Jia Province - is not feeling well and is not coming. ”

“Yo, is he really uncomfortable or is he fake? ”

“Then I don't know. Nobody should be leading this time. ”

“That's not good. Um, aren't you guys active this afternoon? ”

“It is unclear that some are also visiting or eating, and a number of officials have come to the local area to receive them, but it has nothing to do with the family. ”

“Should we just move freely? ”

“Almost. Let's do this. The car's waiting for me. ”

“All right, you go ahead, I'll see you later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin went to the security check. He didn't have a good impression of the deputy governor of Naja Province. He didn't come better.

Today is the day of the tour to Macao - Macao. Xiaxing's small airport does not have a flight to Macao - Gate. It can only fly to the provincial city. It is said to be a tour. In fact, it is a kind of welfare that happens every year. All the cities in Jiangnan province have high-level participation. However, the specific number of places is still quite restrictive, at least not all hands and hands can walk away. Otherwise, if there is a problem in the city, the Registrar City The mayor can only go to one or none of the deputy mayors or department leaders, and there are about a few seats in each city, and the annual platoon, for example, Xiaxing City went to the city secretary and the two deputy mayors, and the next three departments have a hand. Although the number of leadership seats may seem limited, there may not be many people, but each leader brings one or two family members, and this team is quite swollen, which is why they ran out of tickets on that flight this morning., it is said that more than a dozen family members reported in the province did not book tickets, but could only get on the back of the batch of flights. Dong Xuebin also revealed the identity of the discipline committee in Xiaxing City. He also noted that Xie Huilan had not been asked to arrange the tickets for himself, but had booked the tickets at his own expense, so as to save others from chewing their tongues - Dong Xuebin's unit was able to deter many people, but it was relatively, and he himself had to pay special attention to the Party style discipline.

Half a mile later.

Aircraft lounge area.

As soon as Dong Xuebin found an empty space to sit on, he curled Erlang's legs and watched the plane take off and landing outside the glass. He plugged his headphones into the song.

One minute… three minutes… five minutes… The gate is not open yet.

Dong Xuebin was a little impatient and struck his hand on his leg.

All of a sudden, there was this guy across the street, "Whoa, whoa! Isn't that Tobin? ”

Dong Xuebin's music didn't sound very loud, heard it, slightly stunned, looked up, I didn't think anyone else knew him here, and then he was stunned, "Hou Wen! ”

“Ha ha! That's you! ”

“Yo, how come it's you? ”

“I wonder why you're here! ”

“You've changed. I can't recognize you if you don't call me! ”

“You can't talk. You, haha, haven't seen me in years. I'm a little fat, a little fat, but I can't recognize you! ”

“Oh, you're dozens of pounds, aren't you? ”

“You haven't changed, you're still so skinny! ”

He came up as a young man, about the same size as Dong Xuebin, round face, with more creeps on his face and slightly swollen people, but not so fat, normal, but in college he was the same thin figure as Dong Xuebin, so Dong Xuebin wouldn't dare to admit it. Hou Wen, this is Dong Xuebin's college classmate, not only that, but also Dong Xuebin's roommate, a dormitory for four years buddy. Dong Xuebin went to school all these years, because he was low profile and didn't like to communicate with people, he had nothing special to do with good iron buddies, but speaking of good friends, Hou Wen must be able to count one. After all, we lived together for four years. That period of youth will always be unforgettable, so Dong Xuebin and Hou Wen ran into each other here by chance, and they both looked excited.

Dong Xuebin got up and greeted him. “What a coincidence. ”

Hou Wen gently hammered his chest, “Good boy, you haven't heard from me in three years, and I haven't heard from you since college! ”

Dong Xuebin laughed: “Why didn't you contact me? You went south as soon as you graduated from college. I can't see you. It's a long distance to call you. I don't have that much phone bill. But you didn't know to call me. Then you changed your phone number, and I couldn't find you. ”

"'Why didn't I call you?" said Hou Wen.' I've called your family a few times, and nobody answered. ”

Dong Xuebin said, “You've been fighting for two years? I haven't lived on Peace Street in two years. ”

“Anyway, you didn't contact me. I'll tell you what I can remember. Let's change the phone number and you'll have to invite your buddies to dinner!” Hou Wenli was upright.

Dong Xuebinle said, “Ming, why didn't you tell me your phone number? I asked you? Bullshit, you're not buying me a donkey meat fire. It's not over. No, it's two meals. You promised to invite a few of us before you graduated. That's called a smallpox crash. What happened? As soon as you graduate, you go south! I didn't even see you! You're too kind to ask me. I don't have to say anything about you! ”

Donkey meat burning, this is what they often eat in college. Every time there is a celebration, everyone in the dorm will eat donkey meat. Now it seems like it may not be much money, it is the most ordinary thing. But at that time, everyone was poor students, there was no money in their pockets, and they could eat donkey meat. The brothers and sisters were like eating a Shangri-La hotel. It was fun and farty. At that time, they had quite a lot of fun every day.

Hou Wen coughed: “Cough, it was an emergency, my father has arranged work for me, the time for check-in is set, not a day can be delayed. ”

“Loss of sense? ”

“Gotta, I'm not right. I'm not right. ”

“What do you mean," Oh, you're wrong. "”

“Come on, I'll treat you. Don't chill out on me, I really miss our classmates. ”

“So you didn't come over for the festival? ”

“School Day? What school festival? I don't even know. ”

“It was the anniversary of the General Assembly. I also met Teacher Jiang before I found out. I also saw Ruhua, and Zhao Mao and Le Haidong. ”

“How are they? ”

“Fine. Marriage, institutionalization, state-owned enterprises, they're all doing well anyway. Come on, sit down and let's talk. ”

“Later on, my mom's still back there. Have you seen her? ”

At this time, Dong Xuebin only noticed a middle-aged woman who was not far away. She had a bad temperament and Hou Wen looked a lot like his mother. At first glance, he could tell that Dong Xuebin had seen Hou Mother. Still, he saw Hou Wen in the dormitory when he first started school. However, his impression was not very clear. After all, he had been seeing her for so many years, so he was also a little strange, but he also welcomed her to the past.

“Auntie.” Dong Xuebin Dao.

The marquis looked at him in the corner, "What is this? ”

Hou Wen hugged Dong Xuebin on the shoulder, "My college classmate, Dong Xuebin. ”

“Oh.” Mother Hou nodded to Dong Xuebin without cold and enthusiasm. After that, she sat in the rest area.

In Dong Xuebin's memory, Hou seems to be such a person, no surprise. When he was in college, he had always heard that Hou Wen's father was a cadre, an official in the South, but he didn't say anything about the official Hou Wen. He was usually quite low-key, and people didn't have a particularly heartless kind of heart. He was very enthusiastic about everyone, and he was familiar with himself. On the outside, he could not see that he was a second-generation official. It was estimated that only a few of their dormitories knew something.

At first glance, Hou Wen also sat across the street with Dong Xuebin. "Which flight are you waiting for? ”

“That's it.” Dong Xuebin pointed finger.

“Yo, you going to Macau too?” Hou Wen was surprised.

Dong Xuebin winked: “Are you coming too? Hey, what a coincidence. ”

Howen was happy, "Well, there's a lot to talk about. It's been over an hour on the plane. What's your seat number? Let me take a look.” Take a look, it's not next to you, and it's a lot worse, Hoventon said: “It's almost boarding too, it's okay, I'll change seats later, we have to talk, ah, too much to say, you don't know how happy I am to see you, I miss that part of our college thinking at night, but you can change your cell phones, you can't get through! ”

Dong Xuebin was warm in his heart. “Me too, I haven't seen him in three years. ”

“Yeah, three years.” Hou Wen shushed a little: “I didn't know how good the school was until I got to work, so I knew how good our brothers were. ”

Dong Xuebin said: “The friends we make now always feel a little weak, not as real as we are. ”

Hou Wen slapped his thigh, “That's fucking right! ”
