Chapter 253: Really Good at Attention
After walking out of the train station, Deputy County Chief Gao looked around anxiously. When he saw the old van waiting not far outside the station and an acquaintance who came to pick him up, he immediately smiled.
Because Secretary Hotan and his entourage were visiting and inspecting, he was careful before boarding the return train and made a phone call to ask the county van to pick them up.
I had wanted to persuade Secretary Tian on the train to bring people to the county to take a look. Apart from anything else, the sales performance of the radio factory that had reopened in the county was directly under the management of the province.
Unexpectedly, he hit the jackpot. Instead of inviting Secretary Tian and his team, he invited his old leader instead.
The grudge between him and Miss Wen in the past really gave him a headache, and he was looking for an opportunity to resolve it.
He was afraid that the van would not be in place due to some emergency, so he didn't dare to say anything.
When he saw the van, he immediately felt more confident.
"Old Chief, I specially asked someone to pick me up at the station. It's still a long way from the train station to the scrap collection point."
Although Chen Guoqing has not been back for decades, he is well aware that the county has changed a lot.
Song Mo, Wen Kexin, and Li Si all knew about it.
Although Wen Kexin was not fond of Deputy County Magistrate Gao, she would certainly not force herself to take a rickshaw when there were vans available, especially when she was taking her grandfather with her.
In this day and age, owning a bicycle is considered superior, and being able to ride in a van is definitely VIP treatment in the county.
Although I don't know how the deputy county chief contacted people on the train to send the van, I appreciate the kindness.
She winked at Grandpa and said, "Grandpa, since County Magistrate Gao has sent a car, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse it."
The old man nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, County Magistrate Gao."
The grandfather and grandson both avoided the word "deputy" at the same time, which made Deputy County Mayor Gao feel comfortable.
"It's not hard for Gao to serve the old leader. I'd like to trouble the old leader to say a few good words if I have the chance."
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and knew clearly that Deputy County Chief Gao would not do anything without benefits, and it was too eager for quick success and instant benefits to ask for rewards right after doing a favor.
The old man laughed and said, "No problem!"
Everyone got on the van and soon arrived at the scrap collection station.
The old man got out of the van and his eyes suddenly turned red when he saw the situation here.
My brother-in-law has been in the army for more than ten years. He is a hero with a strong character and has won countless military exploits. He thought it would be easier if he transferred to the local area. He served as the leader of a large factory for several years, but was kicked out of office due to trumped-up charges and has been living in a small place here for ten years.
How many decades are there in a lifetime?
My brother-in-law has a hard time!
Wen Kexin supported her grandfather and whispered to him, "Grandpa, my master lives alone in the small house in the yard. I'll go and call him."
The old man saw a small house in the yard that was obviously a scrap collection station and stored miscellaneous items. It turned out that his brother-in-law lived alone here.
His nose felt sore and his tiger eyes became sparkling.
If the girl were alive, I don't know how sad she would be.
When his wife passed away, he entrusted his son to his cousin and took his sister and brother-in-law to join the army.
After his sister died, his brother-in-law avenged her and transferred to a local job, but ended up like this.
After the war, he came back to look for his son, but his cousin's village had been razed to the ground by artillery fire, and he always thought his son was dead.
Later, my brother-in-law said that he would retire and return to his hometown. He must be determined to help me find my son, right?
Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt sour and uncomfortable.
He rubbed his eyes and found that his granddaughter came back quickly.
"Grandpa, I heard from the people at the scrap recycling station that my master, no, my uncle went to the radio factory to help out. I think Director Wang must have said something to my master, so he had to go."
The old man said eagerly: "Let's go to the radio factory and have a look."
"Grandpa, don't worry, we'll go right away."
Deputy County Mayor Gao was worried that the old leader would use the car, so he parked the van outside.
Standing behind the old leader, he was immediately glad that he had another chance to flatter him.
"Old Chief, please get in the car!"
The old man looked at him meaningfully and said, "It's hard for you!"
Deputy County Chief Gao said passionately: "It is my duty to serve the old leader!"
Song Mo, who was beside the old man, curled his lips quietly: What a courtesy!
The group quickly arrived at the radio factory by car.
The two guards saw the van stop and eight or nine people got out of the van, most of whom were soldiers and came to the factory gate. They were worried, wondering who they were.
When I saw a little girl among the soldiers.
They knew this girl very well, and they all greeted her: "Technician Wen, why did you just come back?"
Wen Kexin was very familiar with the two guards and explained, "My wife was seriously injured and there was nothing I could do. By the way, is my master here?"
"He's here, and he's been busy in the workshop these days."
"I'll go in and find him! By the way, this is my grandfather and my husband, and a few friends. Should we let them in with us?"
Although the two security guards were very familiar with Wen Kexin, they were Director Wang's men.
When he learned that these people were just relatives of Technician Wen, he immediately became embarrassed and advised: "Miss Wen, you can go in, but they can't."
Automatically treating himself as an invisible man, Deputy County Chief Gao, who was walking at the end, stepped out and looked at the two guards.
"You don't recognize me? Can I come in?"
The two guards were stunned. Isn’t this Deputy County Magistrate Gao?
This man came to the radio factory several times and was always surrounded by people. Director Wang was very respectful to him.
Why are you alone today? They were still standing behind these soldiers, and they thought they were the soldiers' entourage.
The two men said in panic, "County Magistrate Gao, please come in. We will go and inform Factory Director Wang right away."
Deputy County Magistrate Gao asked, "Chief, should we go in or wait here?"
Chen Guoqing was eager to see Wang Qingshan to see if he was his brother-in-law.
If we follow Deputy County Chief Gao's advice and go in, it will definitely alarm Factory Director Wang.
It affected his reminiscing with his brother-in-law.
As for supporting my granddaughter, let's wait and see.
Thinking of this, he said calmly, "Let Ke Xin call out his master first."
Deputy County Chief Gao nodded and said, "Just listen to the old leader!"
Wen Kexin suggested: "Grandpa, why don't you go to where I live and wait. I'll go call Master out."
The old man nodded and said, "Go ahead, we'll wait here."
Wen Kexin walked in quickly and came to the workshop, where she saw her master working seriously with his head down.
It was hot in the workshop, and the master was surrounded by piles of defective radios.
Even though his face was covered in sweat, he had no time to wipe it off.
Seeing this scene, Wen Kexin suddenly felt distressed.
If it wasn't for himself, why would the master come to help Director Wang?
She choked and cried, "Master, I'm back..."
When Wang Qingshan heard the familiar voice, he looked up and saw that it was Ke Xin who had returned.
Noticing the little girl's expression, he asked anxiously, "How is Song Mo?"
He has been worried these days. He doesn't know when he started to feel a family affection for that clever and eccentric little girl. He can't tell whether it is the affection between master and disciple, or the care and love of an elder for a younger generation.
He was afraid that something might happen to Song Mo, and that Ke Xin would be left alone and cry. Could it be that -
He didn't dare to think further.
"He's fine. He came back with me. There's another person who came back with us. Master, come quickly..."
Wen Kexin pulled her master and ran away without caring about anything.
Wang Qingshan wiped the sweat off his face while running, and said angrily: "Don't pull me, can't you see I'm working? You kid..."
