provincial capital.
The residential area for provincial party committee cadres.
Wang Jin had his meal in the canteen of the provincial party committee and it was already seven o'clock in the evening when he returned to his residence.
As soon as I entered the house, my cell phone rang.
Wang Jin frowned and thought, what a coincidence, someone called me right after I got home?
When I opened my phone, I saw the three words "Xu Yillong" clearly displayed on it.
After answering the phone, Wang Jin smiled and said, "Xiaolong, why are you calling so late? Is there something wrong?"
Xu Yilong smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, I have been in Hanjiang for many days, but I have never visited you. Later, you helped me so much. I really feel sorry for you. So I thought of asking if you are free tonight and if I can treat you to a meal."
It's already seven o'clock, why are you treating me to a meal? This is not sincere enough!
What's this kid up to? He's actually being polite to him.
Wang Jin smiled and said, "Are you talking about the Li Lin incident? Actually, that was something that the provincial party committee had already discussed a long time ago. I just arranged it in advance. Your father and I are old friends. You don't have to be so polite to me. Say hello to your father for me when you see him. We'll meet again when I go to Yanjing!"
Xu Yilong seemed to have expected Wang Jin to refuse him, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, even if we don't eat, you have to let me thank you in person, right? Although this is something the provincial party committee has already studied, without your promotion, it is not certain whether this matter can be implemented. Uncle Wang, I brought you some supplements, which are now at your doorstep. You can't bear to watch the child standing guard at your doorstep all the time, right?"
Wang Jin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked towards the door, a little surprised how Xu Yillong entered the community.
After all, the security personnel here are all sent from the army, and the alert level is very high. No matter whether you are from Beijing or anywhere else, you can't get in without the greeting of Hanjiang's current leaders.
I don't know whose connections Xu Yilong had to rely on to get in smoothly. I don't know where Xu Yilong has been hiding. He called Wang Jin when he saw him coming back.
Now that you've come to me, it would be inappropriate not to meet you.
Wang Jin sighed, raised his hand and said to the nanny at home, "Go open the door!"
Soon, Xu Yilong walked in with two bags of gifts, smiling.
Wang Jin laughed and said, "You, when did you become so cunning? Now that you're at my door, why don't you just knock on the door? Why did you call me to invite me to dinner?"
Xu Yilong scratched his head and smiled, explaining, "I know you are busy, Uncle Wang, so you don't have time to eat with me. In fact, I came here after dinner, and I am ready to fight a protracted battle at your door. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you to come back and see me."
Wang Jin asked Xu Yillong to sit on the sofa.
The nanny came over and poured two cups of tea for the two of them, and brought a plate of snacks.
Wang Jin raised his hand and said, "Xiaolong, if you haven't eaten, don't be polite to me. I'll ask the nanny to make something for you."
Xu Yilong laughed and said, "I ate it. I really ate it."
In fact, he had been hiding in the community since 4:30 in the afternoon waiting for Wang Jin to come back, so he had no time to eat.
But when you ask someone to do something for you, you have to bear the grievances. Besides, the person you ask is the top leader of Hanjiang, and it is difficult to meet him. Missing a meal is nothing.
Wang Jin smiled gently and nodded, raised his hand to signal Xu Yilong to drink tea, and said politely, "Then let's drink tea instead of wine and have a good chat. I haven't been to Yanjing for a while. How are your parents recently?"
Xu Yilong smiled and nodded, saying, "It's still the same. My dad is not at home when he's busy. He eats and lives in the government compound. I'm sorry to bother you, Uncle Wang."
As he spoke, he picked up the two bags of gifts at his feet, showed them to Wang Jin, and said, "Uncle, this is wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain. I know you are busy with work and under a lot of pressure, so I asked someone to collect it from the old farmers in the mountains to nourish your body."
As for ginseng, both cultivated and wild ones look the same. If you don't understand it, you can't tell the good from the bad.
Besides, Wang Jin’s family has no shortage of these things. Whatever he wants can be done with just one phone call, and the quality and quantity are absolutely guaranteed.
But at this time, out of politeness, he still showed great interest in the ginseng in Xu Yilong's hand. He took it, looked at it repeatedly, nodded and said, "Well, it's a good thing."
Xu Yillong was happy and proud to see that Wang Jin was interested in the gift.
But Wang Jin suddenly changed the subject and said, "You haven't been home for a long time, right? You should bring these back to your father. He is busier than me. You should show more respect to him."
Xu Yilong waved his hand quickly and said, "Uncle, I prepared some for my dad, and this one is for you."
Wang Jin nodded and said politely, "That's good. I knew you were a filial child. I saved a few bottles of good wine. Bring them with you when you go back. Please bring them to your father for me."
Returning the gift is a courtesy, and there is no such thing as taking something from someone. This is also the wisdom of the leader, not owing favors to others easily, even if it is just a ginseng that is hard to tell good from bad.
Wang Jin calmly sipped tea and chatted with Xu Yilong.
He knew that Xu Yillong's visit this time was not simply to express his gratitude, but there must be something else.
As long as Xu Yillong didn't speak first, he would never ask first. After all, his relationship with Xu Yillong's father was there, and he would appear impatient as soon as he opened his mouth. So, he would chat about family matters first and wait for Xu Yillong to speak up.
Sure enough, after drinking a cup of tea, Xu Yillong smiled embarrassedly and then got to the point.
"Uncle Wang, I came to see you tonight not only to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Li Lin. I also have some personal matters that I want to ask you about." Xu Yillong said with a smile, holding a piece of cake in his hand.
