In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong

In the office of the Provincial Public Security Department Director, Yun Haifeng calmly processed the documents in his hands. In the past few days, in accordance with Chen Luo's request on the phone last time, the Provincial Department and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's Supervision Office had carried out a follow-up supervision, holding more than 1,200 people at the grassroots level accountable. Among them, more than 300 people were expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office and transferred to judicial organs.

This is only the first round, but Yun Haifeng is not from a different field, so he is quite adept at handling these tasks.

I had just put down the documents when the phone on the table rang.

Yun Haifeng bent down to answer the phone, his voice full of energy.

"Hello, this is Yun Haifeng!"

"Good afternoon, Director Yun!"

"Oh, it's Director Liu!"

Yun Haifeng's tone softened instantly.

"It's me. By the way, Director Yun, Secretary Chen just asked me to inform you that he will be coming to the Provincial Department to inspect our work at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. He might need you to accompany him. What do you think, Director Yun?"

"No problem! Director Liu, I don't have any work tomorrow, so I have plenty of time!"

"Okay, that's all for now. Goodbye, Director Yun!"

"Alright, alright, goodbye Director Liu!"

After hanging up the phone, Yun Haifeng felt inexplicably excited. He still remembered how Chen Luo had helped him out on the phone last time. He had always wanted to find time to report to Chen Luo and thank him, but Chen Luo was too busy to see him. Now he finally had the chance.

The news from the Standing Committee spread quickly, and at 6 p.m. that day, Chen Hai walked out of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

As soon as I stepped out, I saw a familiar figure.

"sister!"

Chen Hai was stunned. Who had he met? His sister, Chen Yang?

Somewhat unsure, after all, it had been so many years since they last met, Chen Hai quickened his pace and stepped forward to examine the object closely.

Finally, he realized it was his sister!

Chen Yang looked at Chen Hai calmly. She wasn't young anymore, forty-five. After looking at her for a while, Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "Your problem is basically solved. From now on, you will work at the Department of Justice and take good care of Mom..."

After saying that, Chen Yang turned around and walked directly to the passenger seat of a black SUV next to him. The car started quickly and disappeared from Chen Hai's sight in just a moment.

Inside the car, Chen Yang's eyes were a little moist.

"Honey, don't worry, I'll be working in Handong for the next few years, I'll take care of Chen Hai."

Huang Ming spoke softly, but it warmed Chen Yang's heart. The affection they shared for over twenty years dispelled the chill he felt upon returning to Handong.

"Thank you, husband!"

"Hey, you're my wife, we're family!"

Why say thank you?

Besides, without your support and care for the family and our son, how would I have gotten to where I am today?

"Let's go eat at that private kitchen you've been craving."

Meanwhile, when Chen Luo returned home, the two little ones came up to him, wanting him to take them out to eat.

"Okay, okay, let's go out to eat."

At this moment, Zhang Nian took out her phone, scrolled through it for a while, and then handed it to Chen Luo, saying, "Honey, this place looks good. It's a well-established brand in Handong. Shall we go and try it?"

"Then let's go!"

The family of four also drove out.

Li's Private Kitchen

This is an old restaurant that has been in Jingzhou for thirty years. It is usually quite popular, but it was too easy for Chen Luo's family to get a private room.

It's not so much about privileges, but rather that being in a private room does prevent you from coming into contact with some unnecessary people and things.

The car was parked in the open-air parking lot in front of the old restaurant. Chen Luo and Zhang Nian each led a little one to the restaurant entrance. They were just discussing with the owner which private room they wanted when a familiar voice came from behind them.

Turning around, Chen Luo saw Huang Ming and Chen Yang.

At the same time, Chen Yang and Huang Ming also saw Chen Luo's family.

"Secretary Chen!"

Huang Ming was stunned. He could run into his boss while having a meal. What great luck!

"Huh, Huang Ming?"

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, Chen Yang, who was standing next to him, also realized that there was only one person in Handong who could make her husband address her like that!

"Hello, Secretary Chen!"

Chen Yang smiled, though his eyes were slightly red.

"Hello, you must be Chen Yang?"

"Yes, Secretary Chen!"

"Oh, by the way, you're here to eat too?"

"Yes, yes, Secretary Chen, Chen Yang has been longing to try this old restaurant for years. Now that he has finally come to Handong, he naturally has to give it a try."

"Row."

"Gentlemen, I see you all want to reserve a private room, but there's only one room left..."

At this moment, the boss interrupted them.

"It's okay, we can eat together."

Huang Ming and Chen Yang also wanted to take this opportunity to thank Chen Luo, so they were just hoping for this, without having to say a word.

Just as the group was about to enter the private room, another familiar voice rang out.

"Secretary Chen! You're here too?"

When the group turned around, they were shocked to see Qi Tongwei with Gao Xiaoqin and his son Qi Lin!

Chapter 250 A Drink to Find Relief, Life Still Has Regrets

Chen Luo was visibly surprised when he saw Qi Tongwei, Gao Xiaoqin, and their six-year-old son, Qi Lin.

"Oh? It's Tongwei!"

"It's me, Secretary Chen!"

At this moment, Gao Xiaoqin also greeted them very politely.

"Hello, Secretary Chen!"

"Oh, you're here to eat too?"

"Yes, Secretary Chen, this old restaurant has been open in Handong for decades. When I was in college, I would come here to treat myself to a couple of dishes when I had some extra money. Even after more than 20 years, I still can't forget this old taste."

Chen Luo's gaze was somewhat mocking. At this moment, Qi Tongwei still did not notice anything amiss, but he soon saw Huang Ming and Chen Yang, who had his back to him.

"Huh? Deputy Secretary Huang is here too?"

Qi Tongwei knew Huang Ming, and Huang Ming was very straightforward, showing no emotional change whatsoever.

"It seems that Director Qi is recovering well!"

After shaking hands with Huang Ming, Qi Tongwei realized that the figure with his back to him looked somewhat familiar.

However, it had been more than twenty years since they last met. Although they were familiar with each other, Qi Tongwei did not recognize Chen Yang.

Chen Yang then turned around confidently, looked at everyone, and calmly said to Qi Tongwei, "Long time no see, Qi Tongwei!"

boom!

Qi Tongwei finally saw Chen Yang's face. In just a moment, he knew from his voice and appearance that the person in front of him was his former first love, Chen Yang.

Qi Tongwei's mind went blank for a moment, but Qi Lin, who was next to him, tugged at him and brought him back to reality.

After realizing what was happening, Qi Tongwei smiled and nodded.

"Long time no see, Chen Yang, what brings you here?"

Qi Tongwei looked at Chen Luo and Huang Ming, as if asking Chen Yang why he was with them.

"Director Qi, I forgot to introduce you. Chen Yang and I got married twenty years ago. This time, Chen Yang came back to visit Handong and take care of Chen Hai's matter."

Huang Ming grasped Chen Yang's hand. Qi Tongwei felt a slight melancholy after the initial shock, but things had already changed for the better, hadn't they?

At this moment, Chen Luo and Zhang Nian stood to the side, and both of them couldn't help but laugh as they watched this scene.

"Alright, alright, if we want to catch up, let's go to a private room. Don't block the entrance to their restaurant."

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Huang Ming and his wife, as well as Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin, all smiled and nodded in agreement.

Soon, inside the private room, there were nine people: Chen Luo and Zhang Nian, Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi's family of four, Huang Ming and his wife, Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin, and their son.

Adults talk about adult things, and children talk about children's things.

Next to Chen Zhengshu was Qi Lin. Like an older brother coaxing a child, Chen Zhengshu was already chatting enthusiastically with Qi Lin, listening to Qi Lin talk about his life in Hong Kong.

And what about the adults?

"It's been over twenty years since we last met, time flies!"

Qi Tongwei started the conversation, and Huang Ming picked up where he left off.

"Director Qi, actually I knew twenty years ago that you and my Chen Yang were exes. I know your story, and it's a bit of a regret, but time can't be turned back. Now everyone is doing well. You and President Gao have a son, and I heard that you're hoping for a daughter soon?"

Huang Ming's direct and frank explanation actually made the atmosphere more and more relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei exchanged a glance with Gao Xiaoqin and said, "We do have this plan. We're also hoping to have both a son and a daughter, just like Secretary Chen."

"Tongwei, that's a good idea. The birth rate has slowed down in recent years, and in a few years we'll probably have to encourage childbirth. You're making a contribution to the country."

After Chen Luo finished speaking, Chen Zhengxi obediently snuggled closer to Chen Luo, which made Qi Tongwei and Huang Ming extremely envious, as they each currently only have one son.

Soon, the dishes were served.

"Secretary Chen, Deputy Secretary Huang, this old restaurant has great food, and the prices are very reasonable. I used to come here often, and I still think it's a good place!"

After Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Huang Ming nodded.

"It's really good. Chen Yang often mentions this restaurant. It's a part of many people's childhood memories in Jingzhou."
