"Hmm."
"How was the dinner?" Song Xiaoru asked.
"Not bad, it went smoothly. At least, he’s not coming back anymore." Song Xiaodong replied.
"He better not come back. I haven’t slept well for the past couple of nights, I’ve got dark circles under my eyes." Sun Yiyi said to the mirror.
"What about the female secretary?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"Why must there be something about the female secretary? She’s just here to pick me up and drop me off, and accompany me to dinner." Song Xiaodong said.
"Accompany to this, accompany to that, accompany to dinner, it’s all about entertaining." Miao Qingqing said.
"Watch your language. Entertaining, my foot. Secretary Zhang is a married woman." Song Xiaodong said to Miao Qingqing.
"And she’s still coming out..."
"Stop making groundless accusations."
"By what you’re saying, this Secretary Zhang is really just here to accompany you for dinner? I don’t believe it." Sun Yiyi said with a laugh.
"Actually...you know how these things are, they don’t have to be so blatant. Secretary Zhang is dressed so nicely, comes alone to pick me up and drop me off, accompanies me for dinner. Even though the deputy director didn’t say anything, it doesn’t mean nothing was implied." Song Xiaodong replied.
"I don’t get it." Miao Qingqing shook her head.
"What’s there not to get? Even if nothing is said explicitly, the path is laid out, waiting to see if I’ll take a hint or not. Are you slow, or is it pregnancy brain?" Song Xiaodong laughed and asked Miao Qingqing.
"Sis!" Miao Qingqing looked at Song Xiaoru to complain.
"Sis will stand up for you!" Song Xiaoru went to hit Song Xiaodong.
"Did you take the hint or not?" Sun Yiyi asked with a laugh.
"Isn’t it obvious? If I had taken the hint, would I have come back this quickly?" Song Xiaodong answered.
Chapter 2066 Where Do You Want to Talk?
"Bragging, maybe the secretary didn’t even like you?" Sun Yiyi teased Song Xiaodong.
"You guys, do these things require mutual consent?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"You guys...so dirty."
And so, for several days, the police did not visit the Su Family Courtyard at three in the morning.
"Tell me, how long are you going to spar with this person? This person is indeed well-connected, causing us trouble every day." Song Xiaoru asked.
"No worries. What can he do to us?" Song Xiaodong said.
"But why does it have to be three in the morning every time? Isn’t that just mean!" Chu Xianling couldn’t help but say.
"No problem. I feel like they’ve almost found everyone in his family. I want to see what kind of reinforcements he can bring." Song Xiaodong said.
"Alright, alright, let’s go back. It’s quite cold outside. What are we having for breakfast?" Song Xiaoru asked.
"Hot pot!" Miao Qingqing said.
"Hot pot for breakfast? How about just some porridge!" Song Xiaoru said.
"Ugh!——" A reluctant agreement.
After breakfast, Song Xiaodong received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Song?" It was a sweet female voice.
"Yes." Song Xiaodong answered simply.
"I wonder if Mr. Song has time. Our Old Chief would like to meet you." The voice on the other end said.
"Which Old Chief?" Song Xiaodong asked coldly.
"It’s the retired Wang Gang, Deputy Commander Wang." The female voice said, and Song Xiaodong could almost hear the pride spilling over from the phone.
"I don’t know him." Song Xiaodong said.
The other side hesitated for a moment, then said, "I wonder if Mr. Song has time, could you come to our Southern Spring Sanatorium for Elderly Cadres at Li Ming River? The Old Chief would like to talk to you personally."
"He’s the one who wants to talk to me, not the other way around. He should come to me, not the other way around." Song Xiaodong said.
The other side hesitated again, then said to Song Xiaodong, "The Old Chief is not very mobile."
"That’s his problem." Without waiting for the other side to finish, Song Xiaodong refused outright.
"Then, I wonder where Mr. Song would like to talk?" The other side asked Song Xiaodong again.
"Here’s the thing." Song Xiaodong paused after saying this.
"Hmm?" The voice on the other end hmmmed, waiting for Song Xiaodong to continue.
"Here’s the thing, I don’t want to talk to your Old Chief." With that, Song Xiaodong hung up.
"Who was that?" Miao Qingqing came over to ask.
Song Xiaodong looked up at Miao Qingqing, and then at the other wives, and said, "The real deal called."
"Wang Chao?" Miao Qingqing asked.
"Hmph, without his dad, he’s nothing." Song Xiaodong snorted coldly.
"His dad called you?" Miao Qingqing asked again.
Song Xiaodong laughed, patted Miao Qingqing’s head, and said to her, "Congratulations, you’re even jumping to conclusions now."
"Go to hell!" Miao Qingqing punched Song Xiaodong’s chest.
After a while, Song Xiaodong’s phone rang again.
"Hello?" Song Xiaodong answered rudely and coldly, with a hint of impatience in his voice.
"Mr. Song?" The voice on the other end was that of a very old man, hoarse, dried-up, and weak.
Song Xiaodong didn’t answer.
The other side just continued talking to himself.
"Mr. Song, I’m Wang Gang. Do you have time this afternoon? I’d like to invite you to the Miyero Scenic Area to see the maple leaves."
Song Xiaodong, finding it interesting, then said: "Sure."
"Great, I’ll send someone to pick you up."
The Miyero Scenic Area is a provincial scenic area in Ningjian Province, located in the southeastern part of Ningjian Province, in the Taling River valley, backed by snow-capped mountains facing the basin, 26 kilometers from Li Ming River, and a hundred times the size of Beijing’s Xiangshan Scenic Area.
The scenic area is filled with towering mountains and intertwining rivers, lush forests and snow-covered mountains, offering delightful landscapes, especially in the late autumn season. The countless maple leaves and colorful foliage cover the mountains like a fiery wildfire, painting the landscape in vibrant reds and golds, with trees and leaves as bright as flowers, contrasting sharply with the blue skies, white clouds, and snow-capped mountains, creating picturesque scenery beyond compare.
