It was already late at night when they reached the northeast.
Xu Zhongyi sat on the train that was parked at the station and was stunned. He yawned.
The northeast was indeed as cold as the rumors said. He couldn't help but shiver a few times.
"Hey, let's get out of the car!"
"Stop wasting time. I don't have time to accompany you to admire the night view!”
At some point, Young Master Qi was standing behind him.
Xu Zhongyi turned his head and saw a stinky face, as if someone owed him two small yellow croakers!
After getting out of the car, the cold wind whistled past.
Young Master Qi couldn't resist it and hurriedly wrapped his leather jacket tightly.
Fortunately, Xu Zhongyi was wearing a woolen coat, which could protect him from the cold.
However, the sleepiness that had accumulated in the car just now had disappeared instantly.
"This Chen Ming is too unpunctual!”
On the way from the mountain city to the northeast, Young Master Qi was like a bomb that could explode at any time.
Whenever he found something that he was not satisfied with, he would glare at him and shout a few words to vent.
Xu Zhongyi couldn't be bothered to look at him like this, so he walked forward by himself.
As he saw, the climate and environment of the northeast were different from the mountain city. Even the atmosphere was far different.
In the middle of the night, the streets of the mountain city were still brightly lit. Some people indulged in pleasure, drinking, and dancing.
However, the northeast was different. It was pitch black within a five-kilometer radius. The people here seemed to prefer to stay at home.
"This must be Commander Qi from the headquarters, right?”
Suddenly, Xu Zhongyi heard a warm greeting from behind him.
He turned around and found that it was Chen Ming, the station chief of the Shenyang Military Command Station, who was wearing round-rimmed glasses and had his eyes narrowed.
Behind him was a tall woman wrapped in a mink coat.
She did not smile or greet him. She just observed everything in front of her indifferently.
Xu Zhongyi quickly deduced that this was Yu Xiuning.
"You're... Station Chief Chen?"
Young Master Qi endured the cold and stretched out his left hand.
He had already asked and answered his own question countless times in his heart. Why did he come to the northeast for no reason and suffer such bitter cold?
It was probably all because of that God of Plagues Xu Zhongyi, who was born to jinx him!
"It's me, it's me!"
Chen Ming sized up Young Master Qi.
Dressed in a black leather jacket, military trousers, and patent leather boots, it was obvious that he was not Xu Zhongyi, who was a civilian, but a member of the escort team.
"You've worked hard on this journey. The northeast is like this, a land of extreme cold!”
"Where's Section Chief Xu? Who is he?"
Chen Ming adjusted his glasses and asked.
Young Master Qi's expression was not good. When Xu Zhongyi was mentioned, he looked even more annoyed. He quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Zhongyi, who was walking in front of him, and replied disdainfully.
"Him, the one in the woolen coat.”
Everyone's gaze shifted to Xu Zhongyi, and the latter immediately smiled.
Chen Ming knew how to calculate, but his wife was more calculative.
Regardless of who Xu Zhongyi was, as long as he came from the headquarters in Mountain City, they would not treat him badly.
In advance, Chen Ming had booked the most famous northeastern specialty restaurant in Shen Yang and invited Xu Zhongyi and Qi Siyuan to a banquet.
However, Qi Siyuan obviously did not want to give the couple face.
On the way, he chose to decline politely.
"I appreciate the good intentions of Station Chief Chen and Madam Chen, but we're really tired from the journey and the cold weather.”
"I think we should have a good night's rest. There will be plenty of time to eat in the future.”
Rather than saying that Young Master Qi was rejecting him, it was more like he made it clear that he did not want to have dinner with Xu Zhongyi.
Moreover, Chen Ming was only the stationmaster of the military command station in Shenyang.
Compared to him, who was the captain of the operation team of the General Headquarters, he was far inferior.
Since their ranks were different, there was no need for them to eat together.
Xu Zhongyi had long seen through his face. In contrast, he readily agreed with Chen Ming and his wife.
"Eat, eat. Station Chief Chen, I've been hungry for a long time!”
"I haven't eaten northeastern cuisine in a long time. I miss it very much!”
Chen Ming and Yu Xiuning couldn't understand the completely different attitudes of the two people in front of them.
They laughed a few times and did not continue talking.
Xu Zhongyi was very happy along the way. Sometimes he looked out the window and sometimes he hummed a tune.
If he was free, he would only pay more attention to Yu Xiuning. He did not care about the others.
What Xu Zhongyi did not know was that Young Master Qi, who was sitting beside him, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
...
After sending Young Master Qi to the courier station, Chen Ming and his wife set off.
It was also because Young Master Qi was suffering because he wanted to save face so badly that his subordinates could only go hungry with him.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that Young Master Qi couldn't take it anymore and asked them to buy some food to fill his stomach.
Without Master Qi in Chen Ming's car, Xu Zhongyi seemed much more relaxed.
He spoke and acted in a flamboyant manner, generous and polite. In short, he was very much to Chen Ming's liking.
The two of them chatted happily and even began to call each other brothers. They became familiar with each other very quickly.
Yu Xiuning looked down on her husband's liveliness, but she couldn't say it directly.
He simply rolled his eyes at him.
However, Chen Ming was a blockhead. How could he notice?
Yu Xiuning had no choice but to continue listening to the two of them chat.
Xu Zhongyi naturally noticed Yu Xiuning.
This woman only smiled along the entire time. She did not say anything or express any opinions.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Xu Zhongyi was very curious about it, so he decided to take the initiative to attack and catch the other party off guard.
"Big brother, after chatting for a long time, you still haven't introduced me. This is..."
"Hey, little brother, do you still need an introduction?”
Chen Ming was obviously chatting away.
When he saw Xu Zhongyi pointing at Yu Xiuning and asking, he put on a manly look and replied.
"This is your sister-in-law, my wife!"
"How is it? Pretty, right?"
Yu Xiuning was a little embarrassed. She turned around and continued to speak to Xu Zhongyi with a friendly expression.
"She's already so old. What's there to be beautiful about? Don't listen to Chen Ming. This guy hasn't drunk yet. I'm afraid he's already drunk.”
"My name is Yu Xiuning, and I also work in the Inspectorate of Shen Yang.”
"Yu Xiuning?"
Xu Zhongyi pretended to be shocked.
"Yes, that's right…Why?"
Seeing that he called her name and was so surprised, Yu Xiuning couldn't help but feel nervous.
Before she could ask, Chen Ming had already opened his mouth anxiously.
"Brother, why are you so surprised?”
"Xiu Ning, Xiu Ning…Is your sister-in-law's name not nice?”
