Fang Dongmin was a little worried about Duan Zetao's safety at first. After all, Duan Zetao's identity was different now. He was already a high-ranking official. Any problem would be a major incident and would alert the central government. Therefore, Fang Dongmin disagreed and said that Hu Tielong should drive the car. The car followed slowly behind.
Duan Zetao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dongmin, what kind of safety problem can this cause? Don't forget that this is a provincial capital. I have also been the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee of Xingzhou. I can't get lost. It's so far away from here." Binjiang Garden is not far from home. After dinner, I happened to take a walk to eat, so I went back. I haven¡¯t officially taken office today, and when I do, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to walk around alone just like this. ".
Fang Dongmin thought about it. Everyone envied the Provincial Party Committee Secretary for his high position and power. He could change the career and destiny of others with just one sentence. He cheered and supported him when he went out. He was so majestic, so they all worked hard to climb up. Little did they know that what they got would be rewarded. Lost, too cold in high places, becoming a feudal official, and having less and less time and space for myself. It is better to be an ordinary person, and many ordinary people cannot enjoy the fun. Outsiders can really understand the sadness in this. Unexpectedly, thinking of this, Fang Dongmin suddenly sympathized with Duan Zetao, nodded, and drove away with Hu Tielong.
Duan Zetao walked slowly along the sidewalk. With the old foundation he had laid in Xingzhou, Xingzhou's economy has maintained high growth in recent years, and the city's appearance has also changed with each passing day. It has become more and more like an international metropolis. The subway Lines 1 and 2 have been opened to traffic smoothly, and the roads are not as congested as before. From time to time, you can see citizens riding green free public bicycles provided by the government.
The greening on both sides of the road is also very good. The citizens who went for a walk after dinner on the sidewalk all had happy and contented smiles on their faces. Looking at this warm and peaceful scene, Duan Zetao also showed a happy smile on his face.
At this time, a brand new black BMW X5 passed by Duan Zetao. The person in the car said "Eh" and suddenly reversed the car and stopped beside Duan Zetao. The window rolled down and a maniacal laughter came from the car. , "Haha, isn't this Duan Zetao,,".
Duan Zetao turned around and looked in surprise. The person who came turned out to be his college classmate Hu Xitong. Hu Xitong had always hated Duan Zetao when he was in college because Duan Zetao had better academic performance than him and always put him down. It's sour. In Duan Zetao's previous life, he and Duan Zetao graduated together and were assigned to provincial government agencies. Because his father was a division chief in the provincial government, he was promoted to deputy department after a year. After the villain succeeded, he bullied Duan Zetao a lot. In his previous life, Duan Zetao resigned from the provincial government and went into business in large part because he couldn't stand his appearance.
Hu Xitong glanced at Duan Zetao with a condescending look and said triumphantly: "Old classmate, where do you work now? Why are you so miserable? I can't even walk in the car. I am no longer in the provincial government. I have opened a business in Haihai. Foreign trade company, if you really can't do it, come to work in our company. The salary is guaranteed to be much higher than what you are now. Get in the car. I'll drive you wherever you want to go. You haven't ridden in such a good car before, right? Buy a new one. The BMW X5 costs more than one million,".
Duan Zetao has been an official in various places over the years and has had little contact with his college classmates. Except for a few people such as Tan Hong, most of his classmates do not know his situation. Duan Zetao also kept a low profile when he was the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee of Xingzhou City and rarely visited the university. When Duan Zetao appeared publicly in front of the media, even if some classmates saw his name in the newspaper, they would not think that this Duan Zetao was the other Duan Zetao. After all, when Duan Zetao was the mayor of Xingzhou, most of his classmates were still struggling to become department-level cadres. , I won¡¯t think about it at all.
However, at this time, Duan Zetao was already past the age of competition and had no vanity to compare with his classmates. He would not be on the same level as Hu Xitong. He just smiled slightly and said, "It's classmate Xitong. Long time no see. It seems that you have a career." It's a success. Congratulations to you. I just finished my meal and took a walk, so I won't take your car. I'll contact you when I have time"
"Hey, why are you so polite to me? Get in the car, get in the car, I'll ask you to take a sauna, and I'll make sure you haven't tried that emperor-like enjoyment" Hu Xitong finally caught a man who could stand in front of Duan Zetao. How willing to let go of the opportunity to show off, he actually got out of the car and walked to Duan Zetao, preparing to force Duan Zetao into the car.
At this moment, suddenly a Toyota Bullet with the windows tightly covered with curtains rushed over. Three men wearing casual clothes but with a military temperament jumped out of the car and rushed to Duan Zetao's side like the wind. Two of them twisted Hu Xitong's arms and pushed him to the ground. The other person blocked Duan Zetao with his body and protected him behind him.
Hu Xitong was shocked and angry, and yelled: "Who are you? Let me go. Do you know who I am? I am the chairman of Xitong Foreign Trade Company. I am very familiar with the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If you don't let me go, I want you to die ugly,".
ThatBut the man ignored him at all. The man who was protecting Duan Zetao looked around cautiously, turned around and saluted Duan Zetao: "Hello, chief, we are from the Central Security Bureau and we are ordered to protect your safety. , this person just intended to attack you, has been controlled by us, how to deal with it, please give instructions"
It turns out that when you reach the level of Provincial Party Committee Secretary, you can be equipped with guards according to national regulations, but the Provincial Security Bureau is usually responsible. The No. 2 leader knew that Duan Zetao liked to visit privately incognito and did not like to bring guards, so he was specially approved by the Central Security Bureau. He sent guards. These guards usually did not show up. They would only show up to protect the person being protected when they were in critical situations. These three guards were also newcomers. They all used to be special forces and lacked social experience. Unexpectedly, it was their first time to show up. The mission turned out to be such an incompetence.
Duan Zetao was also taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said: "You have misunderstood, this is my college classmate, please let him go." The three guards looked at each other, and quickly knocked him to the ground in embarrassment. Hu Xitong was pulled up and apologized to him repeatedly.
The head of the Central Security Bureau, Hu Xitong, was shocked when he heard the conversation between the guard and Duan Zetao. He had also been in the officialdom, so he naturally knew what these two words meant. It was obvious that Duan Zetao was beyond his control. It's ridiculous that he was showing off in front of Duan Zetao just now.
"Duanyouarenoware", Hu Xitong was helped up, his face was swollen with the color of pig liver, and he asked Duan Zetao incoherently.
