Volume 1 Chapter 101 Things That Are Not Suitable As Vessels

  In the residential compound of Huaijiang Provincial Government, two vans with government license plates sped past the entrance and stopped in front of a simply decorated apartment building.

  It wasn't until half a day later that the vehicle drove out again, and then, a middle-aged woman with lingering charm walked out of a residential building on the first floor, and even took out her mobile phone.

  "Xiao Yu, I've arrived. Are you coming? What's wrong? You promised me yesterday, don't worry, your dad is not here, and today is the weekend, come over. How long has it been since we had a meal together with mom? I'll go buy groceries now."

  She whispered softly into the phone for a moment. The middle-aged woman only put down her mobile phone with satisfaction, and then stepped out, walking towards the outside of the family courtyard.

  This woman was none other than Mrs. Xu.

  Xu Chong was transferred to Linzhou, and someone else took over the reception. Xu's mother was originally a driver in Ningcheng, and another driver from the Ningcheng Municipal Committee brought the luggage of Xu's family to the provincial government's residential compound.

  It wasn't until another hour or two had passed, around 4 or 5 pm, that Mrs. Xu finally emerged from the building again, her face filled with expectation and joy as she gazed out at the door. Under her gaze, a handsome young man appeared in the distance.

  "Xiao Yu!" As soon as she saw the young man, Mrs. Xu's smile burst out uncontrollably and she hastily quickened her pace to walk towards him.

  "Mother saw her mother, and when she arrived at Xu Yu's blog, a smile also flashed across her face. After welcoming him, Mrs. Xu directly stretched out her hand and brushed away the slightly long black hair on Xu Yu's forehead, then smiled and said, "Are you starving? Come in quickly, I've already cooked dinner."

  Then, seeing Xu Yu's slightly stunned expression, Mrs. Xu said with a scolding tone, "Don't worry, he's not home, today we'll just have dinner together, mother and son!"

  Having said that, she didn't say another word and pulled Xu Yu's hand, walking inside.

  As soon as Wei Yu stepped into his new home, he saw a tidy and refreshing living room with a table of steaming hot dishes in the center, all of which were his favorites.

  "The kitchen hasn't been tidied up yet, haha, come here and let mom take a look. In these two months, there hasn't been a hint of a smile on your face that shows you're being pampered. Mrs. Xu pulled Xu Yu to sit down on the sofa and carefully examined him from head to toe."

  This made Xu Yu slightly uncomfortable, after all, he was no longer a child now, but his mother still treated him like a little kid, it was really embarrassing. However, after scanning the room and confirming that the person was not at home, Xu Yu's face finally relaxed a bit.

  After sizing up Xu Yu carefully, Mrs. Xu was satisfied and put down "still so handsome". In one sentence, she urged him to eat.

  Xu Yu felt even more helpless, but still picked up the already served rice and had a meal with his mother.

  The two mother and son had a pleasant meal, until tens of minutes later. Madam Xu smiled at Xu Yu and said, "You sit down and rest for a while, watch TV, I'll go clean up."

  Xie Yu thought of getting up to help, but was pressed down by his mother on the sand, and glared at him with dissatisfaction before reluctantly giving up.

  Even sitting there, he naturally didn't have the mind to watch TV, but just looked around at the layout of the decorations. The current residence was decorated similarly to his previous home in Ning City, and it even gave him a long-lost warm feeling.

  Thinking back to the meal he had with his mother earlier, Xǔ Yú also felt that it had been a long time since he had felt so warm and carefree.

  Just then, as he was watching left and right, the front door suddenly made a light sound of turning keys, which made Xu Yu's expression stern, looking out.

  Then he saw Xu Chong, who was still tall and majestic, with a red glow on his face, pushing the door open from outside.

  However, when Xu Chong saw Xu Yu sitting upright on the sand, that flushed face suddenly sank, and he was stunned in place.

  Even if Xu Yu had mentally prepared himself, the one who could unlock the door with the key was undoubtedly that person. However, when he really saw him again, he was still somewhat stunned.

  They stood there for a moment, and then Xǔ Yú turned around and lowered his head.

  Xu Chong, however, also walked in with a stern face, let out a cold hum, and made way for the person behind him. A second figure appeared immediately after, an old man about sixty years old.

  He also didn't expect Xu Yu to be at home.

  Seeing this disappointing son again, Xu Chong's heart was just as complicated as before. His originally good mood for the day was also completely ruined.

  But anyway, the thing that happened a month or two ago has already passed for so long, he wouldn't directly get angry again, let alone with outsiders behind him. Even if those outsiders were his former superiors who had promoted him before but now retired to the second line, it's not too awkward to mention, but still not suitable to say much about it now.

  After the old man came in, Xu Yu turned his head to look back and then stood up, revealing a hint of a smile. Although he didn't know the other person, basic courtesy was still necessary. "Old Xu, this must be your son, I haven't met him before, but you two are like 'peas in a pod', can't be mistaken! The young man is quite good, very spirited."

  "Thank you," said the old man behind him, but it was directed at Xu Yu, who immediately nodded his head in gratitude.

  "Where, old leader, forgive me, useless thing, all day long only knows how to cheat and deceive, listening to the words of the elderly. Xu Chong's gloomy face finally revealed a hint of a smile, but he didn't even look at Xu Yu, stretched out his hand and said, 'Come in and sit down, this house was just set up today, it's a bit messy.'"

  It was just a sentence, and the old man's face suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, after all, at his age, it was impossible not to show it.

  Xu Chong's words were not just a polite humility, but a genuine coldness towards Xu Yu. In fact, when Xu Yu saw his father come in, he didn't say anything at all, which was enough to testify to the stiffness of their father-son relationship.

  The old man smiled at Xu Yu and then stepped inside.

  But in his eyes, there was also a hint of doubt, not quite right, sneaky and cunning? Looking at him, this young mountain fellow seemed quite steady and honest. Could he also be some kind of spoiled brat who had done something to infuriate Xu Chongda?

  But it's none of his business what others do at home, so he just smiled again at Xu Yu and sat down on the sand beside him.

  Xu Yu turned around and went to make tea, but the tea he brought back was only one cup, which made the old man even more embarrassed. Xu Chong's face became increasingly gloomy, while Xu Yu turned around and said to the kitchen, "Mom, I'm leaving first."

  In an instant, Mrs. Xu's figure emerged from the kitchen. She had also heard the commotion outside just now, but hadn't come out, wanting to let the father and son calm down a bit. Now it seemed that was a failure. Hurriedly walking out, Mrs. Xu first glanced at the old man before smiling and saying, "Secretary He has arrived, haha, look at me, I didn't even come out to greet you earlier."

  That old man was originally the deputy secretary of Ningcheng City Committee, but now he has retired to the second line and entered the Provincial People's Congress. After greeting him, Mrs. Xu pulled Xu Yu aside, wanting to say something when the doorbell outside suddenly rang out.

  First sat down and heard the doorbell, Mrs. Xu then pressed Xu Yu back onto the sofa, and followed to open the door.

  But Xu Chong and the old man with the surname He, however, had a hint of puzzlement on their faces. This Xu family, having just moved into the provincial government's residential compound, already had visitors? Moreover, Xu Chong's face also showed a hint of displeasure. No matter who the visitor was, even if it was someone from a lower department coming to show respect to this newly appointed vice-provincial governor, it was still too hasty.

  However, when the door really opened and they saw a fifty-year-old man standing outside with a smile, Xu Chong and his wife, who were originally puzzled and displeased, suddenly stood up from the sand.

  "Vice Governor Du?"

  "Haha, Deputy Governor Du has arrived, please come in quickly. Please come in."

  Two cries of surprise came from the mouths of two people, Xu Chong and He, who hastily walked to the door and stood in front of Du Peiming. However, deep down, they were also extremely surprised and had not expected that the person coming would be a high-ranking government official like Du Peiming.

  At this level, even collaborators with common interests in governance policies will not easily go to visit peers privately.

  Not to mention, Du Peiming is now more prominent than Xu Chong, the other party being the third in command of the government, but Xu Chong has just been transferred and can be considered a new face among the giants. Moreover, he has not yet established any influence or prestige in the provincial government.

  In broad daylight, he had also met Du Peiming once, and the other party just smiled faintly at him and nodded. How did he come to visit in person tonight?

  For a moment, Xu Chong became extremely suspicious. Was his face so big that it was worth Du Peiming coming to his door in person? Impossible!

  Even Xu's mother, who was standing by the door, was slightly stunned and somewhat disbelieving that Du Peiming had come in person.

  Hehe, Vice Governor Xu, Minister He is also here. Outside, Du Peiming saw the surprise on the faces of several people in the house, but his expression did not change, still maintaining a faint smile, and did not seem enthusiastic. As he spoke, Du Peiming looked through the two at Xu Yu inside the house.

  Even if he was dissatisfied with the guy in his heart, and even resentful, today, it really couldn't be helped.

  Even more ridiculous, he came to support Xu Yu, this is Feng Muhe's original words!! So, he also knew that Xu Yu was at home, and Xu Chong was also at home, and he specially came to visit.

  But Xu Yu, after seeing Du Peiming, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed slightly. He also knew that given the positions of both sides, unless it was a major emergency in Huaijiang Province, Du Peiming would not have personally come to visit.
