The Huang family.
Deputy Director Huang, unusually free from social engagements, dined with his daughter and mother at a restaurant.
Looking at the missing pair of chopsticks, Huang's mother sighed, "I thought things would be better if Lily was transferred to the Municipal Bureau, but she has to work overtime today too. Why is the Criminal Investigation Team always so busy?"
Deputy Director Huang said, "Can you please not say that? Xiao Guan brought Lili up with him. They live so close to home, that's already a great favor. You have a problem with him working overtime occasionally? You might as well open the Criminal Investigation Team at your home."
Huang's mother shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant! It's not targeting Xiao Guan either. I was just thinking that Lily has been working overtime for two days straight. The Major Crimes Unit is too busy!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yayue said, "Mom, I'm going out after dinner too."
Mrs. Huang frowned and complained, "She's already out after only a few bites? My second daughter is such a worry, and my eldest daughter is so immature! I'm at my wit's end every day, who am I cooking for?"
Wang Yayue said, "Mom, it's mainly because I'm with friends, and we might have to eat some late-night snacks."
Huang's mother immediately frowned, staring at Wang Ya Yue warily and asking, "It's so late at night, who are you going out with?"
Wang Yayue said, "Didn't Guan Feng just transfer to the Municipal Bureau? He doesn't have a house in the city and wants to buy one. He contacted a place that's been renovated for his wedding, the kind that no one has ever lived in. He wants to invite me over to give him some advice."
Huang's mother's attention was drawn to the words "wedding house," and she kept saying, "Wedding house? This is a good thing! Why did you come back to eat? Go eat with Guan Feng, and then go see the wedding house."
Wang Yayue corrected herself, embarrassed, "Mom, it's not for our wedding! This is someone else's house that's already been renovated, I'm just going to give my opinion."
Mother Huang waved her hand dismissively, saying, "They're all the same!"
As she spoke, she took the bowl and chopsticks from Wang Ya Yue's hands, placed them on the table, and pushed her to leave, urging her, "Go and accompany Xiao Guan to look at houses! By the way, does he have enough money? If not, be generous, don't you still have some savings? If not, Mom will give you another 200,000 yuan as your own dowry."
"Mom! What's all this about?"
Wang Yayue couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, her face flushed.
Deputy Director Huang asked, "Has the case with Xiao Guan not been finished yet?"
Wang Yayue said, "Yes, there's a press conference tomorrow, and the case files need to be reviewed again, so he asked me to have dinner with him."
Deputy Director Huang said, "I've heard about this case. Xiao Guan handled it very well! With this case as a foundation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this deputy squadron leader's title will be officially promoted within a month."
Huang's mother clicked her tongue and said, "Wouldn't that make him a squad leader? Does the Municipal Public Security Bureau have such a young squad leader?"
Deputy Director Huang said, "Don't say the Municipal Bureau doesn't have one! Looking at the entire history of Hua'an over the past few decades, there has never been a newcomer who has only been working for a little over three years and has been appointed as a squadron leader. Xiao Guan has a bright future ahead of him!"
Huang's mother laughed and said, "That's great! That's great!"
Deputy Director Huang said, "They also did it with real skills. In this case involving the film crew, the Qingshui Branch investigated for three days without finding a single clue. But Xiao Guan led the major crime team to investigate, and the case was solved in just two days. Can you imagine how big the difference is?"
Huang's mother exclaimed in surprise, "Looking at it this way, Xiao Guan is really amazing!"
Deputy Director Huang said, "She's more than just amazing! She's practically a prodigy! And the key is that she's also of good character. So if Ya Yue can really make it work, it will put our minds at ease."
Huang's mother couldn't help but laugh and say, "Did you hear that, Ya Yue? This time it wasn't me who said it."
Wang Yayue said, "Dad! Why are you saying that too?"
Deputy Director Huang chuckled and said, "I won't say, I won't say!" He then glanced at his watch and asked, "Isn't it about time? Do you want to go over? Although Xiao Guan has a stipend, he was only transferred back to Hua'an three or four months ago, so he probably doesn't have much money. Do you want to listen to your mother and bring your savings book?"
Wang Yayue shook her head and said, "No need! Guan Feng said his mother gave him 1 million yuan, and he still has several hundred thousand yuan in hand, so he definitely has enough for the down payment."
Deputy Director Huang asked in surprise, "Was this Director Chen's suggestion?"
Wang Yayue said, "I heard from Guan Feng that it was her mother who asked him to buy a house."
Deputy Director Huang nodded, then realized what he meant and looked at his eldest daughter with a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
They keep saying they don't want others to talk about it!
As a result, they even knew whether Guan Feng had enough money for the down payment.
Needless to say!
They must have asked beforehand.
have to!
They're already prepared to pay.
It's definitely a money-losing proposition!
Deputy Director Huang rubbed his temples helplessly and said, "Alright! Let's do it your way. Keep an eye on the time and don't keep them waiting too long."
Wang Yayue said, "Guan Feng said he would pick me up after he finished his work."
Deputy Director Huang said, "In that case, we should eat quickly. By the way, is Lily coming along? Or should we bring her along?"
Wang Yayue shook her head and said, "Why bring her along?"
Seemingly realizing her tone was off, she changed her mind and said, "She's been busy all day, so it's best for her to rest early. I think it's better if she doesn't bring it."
Deputy Director Huang said, "That's true! By the way, will Xiao Guan attend tomorrow's press conference?"
As the person primarily responsible for the political work and publicity aspects of the Municipal Bureau, he will also attend the press conference tomorrow, as is customary.
Wang Yayue shook her head and said, "I'm not participating! I pushed Liu Shengguo away."
Deputy Director Huang nodded and said, "Liu Shengguo? He came from Hongcheng, right? It's true that you don't avoid recommending relatives. Xiao Guan has some management skills! He can resist temptation at critical moments. Just that kind of self-control is stronger than most people. It seems that Xiao Guan is even stronger than I thought."
Mrs. Huang chuckled and said, "Then how could the person Ya Yue has chosen be bad?"
As they were talking.
Ring ring!
The doorbell rang.
Wang Yayue muttered, "It must be Guan Feng." She stood up to open the door.
Huang's mother was even faster than Wang Ya Yue, standing up like a rabbit and following Wang Ya Yue to the door, waiting for her to open it.
Deputy Director Huang shook his head helplessly at the sight.
