622: Chapter 618 Another Trade 622: Chapter 618 Another Trade Feng Xixing entered his office, sat down on the sofa in front of the coffee table, and started making tea.
Feng Xixing just focused on making tea, without speaking.
Ye Fan also didn’t talk much, just sitting quietly.
After a while, once the tea was ready, Feng Xixing poured a cup for himself and then poured one for Ye Fan.
After drinking a cup of tea, Ye Fan asked, “Director Feng, where are you planning to go?”
“To Cangyang County, the neighboring county,” Feng Xixing said.
“Back to my old job at the police departnt.”
“Oh,” Ye Fan responded.
Then, they casually chatted for a bit.
Although Feng Xixing was nominally Ye Fan’s direct superior, they didn’t interact much and weren’t very familiar with each other, so they avoided sensitive topics.
After talking for about fifteen minutes, Ye Fan felt it was about ti to leave, so he got up and said goodbye.
Having seen Ye Fan off, Feng Xixing felt slightly better.
He sat back down on the sofa, sipping tea while admiring Ye Fan’s promising future.
Thinking of himself, he realized he might just remain at his current bureaucratic level for life, perhaps getting a promotion right before retirent as a token gesture.
“He could climb his way to the city within ten years,” Feng Xixing thought to himself.
“In the future, he might even make it to the provincial departnt.”
At that thought, he suddenly rembered sothing.
“I heard Tang Xianlong thinks highly of Ye Fan and might push for him at the city organization departnt,” Feng Xixing considered quickly.
“Now that I’m leaving, I should do Ye Fan a favor.
Once he gets to the city level, who knows, maybe he’ll give a boost!”
After his discussion with the city organization departnt, they had asked him to recomnd soone, but he hadn’t decided whom to recomnd yet.
The deadline was tomorrow, Friday, by 5 PM.
Still, this was a decision that needed careful consideration.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, when it was finally ti to leave work, Ye Fan drove out of the police station and then called Mo Xiaoyan.
“I’m at Yinxing Avenue.
Co find !” Mo Xiaoyan said over the phone.
Ye Fan drove to Yinxing Avenue, parked his car, and then looked for Mo Xiaoyan.
A few minutes later, Ye Fan found Mo Xiaoyan at a roadside stall.
Seeing Ye Fan coming, Mo Xiaoyan stopped browsing and stood up, taking Ye Fan’s arm.
“Stinky brother-in-law, this place is so backward, just like the countryside.
You must be really bored, right?”
“Not really, I find it fulfilling,” Ye Fan said.
“Let’s go, I’m hungry.
Let’s eat.”
After finding a place to eat, next Ye Fan inevitably accompanied Mo Xiaoyan shopping.
Around ten o’clock at night, he finally took Mo Xiaoyan back to her hotel.
Ye Fan intended to leave Mo Xiaoyan at the hotel entrance, but she persuaded him to co up.
Once inside the room, Mo Xiaoyan pushed Ye Fan onto the bed, then sat on top of him, her arms wrapped around his neck, and leaned in to kiss him.
After the passionate kissing, Mo Xiaoyan let go of Ye Fan temporarily but remained sitting on him and softly said, “Brother-in-law, after the New Year, I’m also coming to Mingde County, okay?”
“What are you coming to Mingde County for?” Ye Fan asked.
“To invest, of course,” Mo Xiaoyan laughed.
“I plan to invest in a factory in Mingde County.
It’s not too far from Hua Hai City, and with the highway and railway connections, it’s much more cost-effective than building a factory in Hua Hai City.”
“That sounds good.
Maybe I can help you out,” Ye Fan laughed.
“You dare not help?” Mo Xiaoyan humd, “I’ll eat you up!”
She said, her lips parted as she bent down and lightly bit Ye Fan’s neck.
After a while, Ye Fan asked, “Are you coming back to Hua Hai City with tomorrow, or are you going back by yourself?”
“Of course I’m going back first thing in the morning!” Mo Xiaoyan said.
“This place is so dull, spending another day here feels tedious.”
Ye Fan just smiled and didn’t say a word.
Mo Xiaoyan, with a slight blush, scolded, “Why are you laughing?
Stop laughing!”
But Ye Fan just laughed out loud.
Around eleven o’clock in the evening, Ye Fan left the hotel and drove ho.
The next morning at seven, Ye Fan received a call from Mo Xiaoyan driving back to Hua Hai City.
At eleven in the morning, Ye Fan suddenly received a call from Feng Xixing asking him to co to his office.
Ye Fan was sowhat puzzled.
It was almost the weekend, what could be so important?
Besides, you’re about to be transferred soon in a lateral move, surely you wouldn’t feel like working anymore.
He really wanted to make a trip back to Hua Hai City and didn’t want any further complications.
Knocking and entering Feng Xixing’s office, Feng Xixing was sitting in front of the coffee table sofa.
He waved Ye Fan over to sit down and talk.
After sitting down, Ye Fan directly asked, “Director Feng, what did you want to see about?”
“What instructions could I possibly have now?” Feng Xixing said.
“Here, have so tea.”
Saying that, he poured a cup of tea for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan nodded, thanked Feng Xixing, and then picked up his tea to drink.
It seed that Feng Xixing had called Ye Fan over just as soone to talk to and relieve so boredom, so they spent nearly fifteen minutes on idle chit-chat.
Ye Fan engaged in the small talk without actively suggesting leaving to do other work.
He knew that Feng Xixing would soon be transferred away and might be feeling especially sensitive, so there was no need to make him uncomfortable.
When the conversation was wrapping up, Feng Xixing said, “A few days ago, the City Organization Departnt asked to recomnd a candidate for a new political commissioner.
Who do you think would be suitable?”
“Heh, Director Feng, you think too highly of ,” Ye Fan said.
“I’ve only been here for a short ti, just getting to know people.
How would I know who’s good or bad?”
Feng Xixing laughed and said, “Yes, you haven’t been here long, but you’ve already done many things and made quite an impact.”
“Director Feng, you flatter .
I’m just doing my duty,” Ye Fan humbly said.
“Ye ah, I am quite impressed with you, and I plan to recomnd you.”
“Ah!” Ye Fan exclaid in surprise, flustered, and quickly waved his hands, “That’s not possible, not possible.
I’m not even fully familiar with my current duties…”
Feng Xixing pressed down Ye Fan’s hand and said seriously, “Although your experience is limited, your capability is evident to everyone, especially your sense of responsibility.
I think you are more than suitable.
Let’s settle it like this.
Don’t refuse.”
“This, this…” Ye Fan was sowhat unsure of what Feng Xixing ant.
He had hardly any personal relationship with Feng Xixing, and even if Feng Xixing was completely impartial, the huge shortfall in his experience would make it impossible to recomnd him.
With a sigh, Feng Xixing said, “Ye, you are like the morning sun rising at eight or nine o’clock, destined to reach the zenith.
I, on the other hand, am old, like the sun in the west, struggling to contribute more to the country and the people.”
“Director Feng, how can you say you’re old, you’re only in your forties, in the pri of your life, and it’s ti for great achievents,” Ye Fan said.
“I believe you will definitely be able to contribute even more to the country and the people.”
“Is that so?” Feng Xixing imdiately seized upon Ye Fan’s words, “I’ll rember what you said, and hope it will be of help to you in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly realized that Feng Xixing’s recomndation was not without self-interest, hoping he would pull him up when he climbed higher in the future.
