Chapter 524 Returning Home

Early winter, Donghai Provincial Department.

The executive sat on the large sofa with a smile. Director Ma took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser in the corner and placed it in front of Julie. He also sat on the edge with a smile.

Director Ma smiled happily and said: "Xiaoli, you will gain a lot from going to NX this time, right?"

All three of them understood the implication.

Upon hearing this, the smiling face of the executive became even more happy from ear to ear.

Zhu Liteng's face turned red and spread to the roots of her ears. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to drink water, but she couldn't help but secretly glance at her father sitting opposite.

The manager, who knew his daughter well, naturally knew what this meant. He immediately turned to Director Ma and said, "Old Ma, find a reason to transfer this young man to the hall. Well, take Xiaoli with you and put him in the hall." A department.”

"Dad~"

"Uncle Ma, don't listen to my dad's nonsense!"

Julie bit her lip lightly and stomped her feet. She felt as if she was covering her face and digging into the cracks in the ground. She said no, but her tone and demeanor did not mean she didn't want her at all. She really looked like a little daughter who was acting coquettishly.

Director Ma also saw it, nodded repeatedly and suggested a suitable method: "Executive Director, this kind of direct transfer is no longer suitable. We have to go through the process. I will ask the Cadre Department to come out with the entire "Notice" later. Well, let’s launch a process to select outstanding police officers from city and county public security agencies.”

The executive smiled and waved his hand: "Old Ma, I can rest assured that you can handle the matter. This matter has been settled like this. You don't have to report to me, just do it according to your own ideas. Xiaoli, why don't you thank you, Uncle Ma?"

Julie was more straightforward this time and said: "Thank you, Uncle Ma!"

Director Ma: "They are all family members, so I won't say thank you. I will have people send out the notice next month, so you and Xiao Chen can sign up as soon as possible."

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Ma!"

After Zhu Li left the office, the executive suppressed his smile and looked a little serious: "Lao Ma, this Xiao Chen is a good person, but he doesn't know how to protect himself. You see, no one is forcing me to go to NX for research this time. He himself rushed to the most dangerous front line of anti-X.

"This work attitude is worthy of praise, but if you continue to have this attitude when you get married, you may not know what will happen. You also know the dangers of our public security work. Xiaoli will be alone..."

Director Ma comforted him: "General Manager, when the time comes, we will arrange a leadership position for Xiao Chen in the hall, so that he will have nowhere to go even if he wants to take risks."

"I hope so." The executive frowned.

I just don't know if they will sign up for the selection. When investigating Chen Shu's background, Director Ma learned that a few years ago, when Chen Shu was just a small policeman, he had rejected the appointment of the deputy director of their branch.

He shouldn't be so stunned, right?

Between branch bureaus and provincial offices, fools all know how to choose.

Director Ma thought so and made a cup of hot tea for the executive who was smiling and in a good mood.

At night, Dongzhou.

Chen Shu pushed his suitcase back home. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the fragrant aroma of rice.

Looking down, he saw a pair of gray slippers already placed at the door.

"Son, are you back? Go and wash your hands quickly. Mom has cooked the food for you. Eat it while it's hot."

Chen's mother walked to the door in slippers, took the suitcase from Chen Shu's hand without any doubt, and urged Chen Shu to go to the toilet and wash his hands like a sheep.

"Okay, okay, right away."

When passing by the restaurant, Chen Shu saw that his father had already filled two red wine glasses. The table was also filled with delicious and delicious food, including some of his favorite dishes since childhood. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and his smile became bright. stand up.

"You're finally back." Father Chen greeted, "Come, have a few drinks with Dad."

Chen Shu pulled up a chair and sat down. As soon as he picked up the wine glass and wanted to touch it with Chen's father, Chen's mother stopped him.

"Eat first. The food won't taste good when it's cold. Drink the wine later. Hey, it's not like I won't let you drink."

"Before my son came, we agreed that we would have a bottle tonight, and you can't cheat!"

"Eat your food, there is so much nonsense."

Watching his parents bickering, Chen Shu listened with a smile, feeling the long-lost happiness and warmth. This feeling was in sharp contrast to the desolation and boundlessness he had experienced in the Great Gobi.

Chen Shu suddenly felt a little dazed: It turns out that this is the feeling of home. It must be this kind of life that Yumaken, Captain Zhao, Lao Cheng, and Bureau Liu have been desperately pursuing.

At least, for the next generation.

Chen Shu then thought of the pocket watch that Yumaken had always carried in his arms. It must have contained a photo of his lovely daughter.

"Son, where did your suit and watch come from?"

While the two men were drinking, Chen's mother was busy packing Chen Shu's suitcase. She originally wanted to help wash the clothes inside, but unexpectedly she found a brand new suit, a pair of large leather shoes and a pair of shoes that looked very expensive. An expensive watch.

Mother Chen knew very well who Chen Shu was.

He always wears black or white casual sportswear, and his shoes are basically black sneakers that remain unchanged for thousands of years.

Suitable trousers and leather shoes are also standard clothing issued by the work unit.

After all these years, when have you ever been so fashionable?

Mother Chen calmed down her excitement and said with a smile: "Son, did some girl buy it for you? It couldn't be the Xiao Yang who came to the house last time, right? Hey, did she go to NX with you on a business trip? "

Chen Shu knew what his mother was thinking as soon as he heard it, and quickly put out her anger: "Mom, Zhang Yang and I are just ordinary friends, don't tell her nonsense. She is also a public figure, you have to consider the impact."

Mother Chen said happily: "Mom is this age, can't you see Xiao Yang's feelings for you? Her big eyes are full of you. Tsk tsk, Xiao Yang has a good eye, this dress is from Laoban brand, very expensive! This watch is also good, it is a famous brand at first glance, you can wear it when you get engaged!"

Chen Shu's face was hot, and he could only say helplessly: "Hey, mom, don't say it. These things are not given by Zhang Yang, they are really given by a friend of mine."

"Your friend gave it? Such expensive things, you accepted it? You are the only son of your parents, you must not make a mistake!" Chen's father looked at Chen Shu with eyes full of "hate iron but not steel".

Chen's mother rummaged through the suitcase and found the letter Zhu Li had written to Chen Shu. The elegant handwriting on the outside of the envelope made her sigh for a long time.

"Son, your friend is still a girl, right?"

Chen Shu couldn't complain. He couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

An hour later.

After taking a shower, Chen Shu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but a series of familiar and unfamiliar pictures emerged in his mind.

At the gate of the police academy, when the research team gathered, Zhu Li jumped over happily with her hands behind her back, and said mischievously that she wanted to go to NX with them;

In the hotel corridor, when he closed the door of another girl's room, Zhu Li leaned on the side, pouted her little mouth and stared at him angrily;

In the interrogation room of the police station, when Captain Zhao anxiously asked him for help with the case file, Zhu Li sat in the corner, supporting her chin with both hands, and her big eyes flashed with admiration;

In the Gobi Desert, when he rushed to the most dangerous front line, the spoiled Zhu Li carried a heavy medical box and followed him stubbornly, saying that the team must have a doctor;

In the ward, when he sank into his own world and doubted his life, he forgot that there was someone who had been silently accompanying him and never left him.

Chen Shu blinked hard and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

His emotional dullness was like a house with closed doors and windows. Although he heard the footsteps of love walking back and forth in front of the house, he always felt that they were just passing footsteps.

Until one day, the footsteps stopped at the door, and then the doorbell rang.

This action was repeated for several days and several times.

But Chen Shu still didn't dare to open the door.
