Chapter 257 Apologize to You
"Researcher Fang, Director Liu just called me and asked me to come over and talk to you.
Is this convenient now? "
After the secretary finished speaking, he stood aside, and an old man in his sixties appeared in front of Fang Xiang.
“It’s convenient, nothing inconvenient.
please. "
Fang Xiang stood up and nodded to Xing Yi.
Xing Yi also blinked, stood up and left.
"Comrade, please make me a cup of scented tea. I'm not used to Pu'er tea. Thank you."
Just as the secretary was about to close the door, Fang Xiang took out a can of scented tea and handed it to the secretary.
"Okay, Researcher Fang, please wait a moment."
The secretary took the tea can and nodded.
"Make me a cup of scented tea too, so we can try some of the good tea from the capital."
Unexpectedly, the old man who had not yet sat down also said something with a smile.
"Okay, you two take a seat."
The secretary quickly bent down, responded, and then closed the door.
"Fang Institute, sit down, want one?"
Before he even sat down, the old man took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed one to Fang Xiang.
"Okay, what's your name?"
Fang Xiang didn't hesitate to take the cigarette, took out a match and lit it for the two of them.
"My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Uncle Zhang."
Minister Zhang sat down first, then looked at Fang Xiang who was still standing and pointed at the sofa.
"Uncle Zhang, what do you want to talk about?"
When Fang heard the voice, he wondered if it was one of his own.
He sat down immediately and looked at Zhang Bu with a smile.
"Nothing much. Commander Liu just called me and said you did something really big in Hong Kong Island.
Let me come over and talk to you, and then let me take care of you while you are in Guangdong Province."
Zhang Bu said with a smile while smoking a cigarette.
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just selling some cars and buying some things.
I will report to you."
As soon as Zhang Bu finished speaking, Fang Xiang knew that he was right.
What they said has been made clear, so they are naturally one of us.
"Hey, no need to be so formal, just treat it as a chat.
As for me, although I am old, I still like to chat with young people.
You don't have to be nervous, let's just chat casually."
When Zhang Bu heard Fang Xiang say such a formal word as "report", he immediately smiled and waved his hand.
"Is such that......"
Fang wanted to explain things in the simplest and most understandable way possible, and recounted what he had done in Hong Kong Island in the past few days.
“I don’t know much about business, but I can tell that what you are doing is indeed a big deal.
But, has the National Security Bureau come to look for you?
Regarding Director Guo's case, is there any follow-up news?"
As expected of someone who works in the organization, Director Zhang is still very sensitive.
He knew he couldn't control the deal Fang wanted to make, nor did he dare to do so, but he still cared about Director Guo.
“No, because the comrade named Qi who came was not of high enough rank, so I just informed him of the matter once.
I never saw them again.”
Fang Xiang shook his head. He was also very curious about Director Guo’s follow-up.
For such an important and critical position, it has been infiltrated to this extent.
This is already a proven act of treason, they won't just take it lightly, right?
"Well, this matter is extremely serious. You rest here for a while. I'll make a phone call to inquire about the situation.
I have arranged for my secretary to take care of it at the guesthouse.
It's right next to the Prefectural Party Committee. Just turn right and you'll see it in a few steps.
Wait for me to come back at noon and we'll have a working lunch together. I'll take you to the guesthouse in the afternoon.
I guess someone will come to you to find out the situation by then."
When Zhang Bu heard Fang Xiang's words, he could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up, said a few words, and left in a hurry.
Seeing Zhang Bu leave, Fang Xiang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
I've been talking for a long time and my throat is almost smoking.
"Ring ring ring..."
Just as Fang Xiang put down his teacup, the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
Fang wanted to pick up the receiver.
"Good boy! You did such a big thing, but you didn't even tell me?
If your father-in-law hadn't called me, I would still be in the dark. Do you think you have grown up?"
As soon as I picked up the receiver, Professor Xu's voice came out of the receiver.
"Professor, what are you talking about?
This is not a big deal, the fewer people who know about it the better, right?
Besides, I am currently in the training district committee and explaining the situation."
The sound in the receiver was so loud that it hurt his ears, so Fang wanted to quickly move the receiver away.
In response to Professor Xu's words that were a mixture of questioning and care, Fang Xiang smiled and explained.
"Oh? So you're planning to hide such an important thing from me, right?
If your father-in-law hadn't told me, how long would you have kept it a secret from me?"
Professor Xu didn't even listen to Fang's explanation. The voice in the receiver was so loud that it didn't sound like that of a man who was almost 70 years old.
"No, no, this is not the case yet, and I don't know if there will be any weird things happening over there.
I was thinking of reporting to you after I get the goods."
Fang wanted to stick out his tongue. Why didn’t he realize that Professor Xu had such a bad temper before?
"What goods are there? When will they arrive?"
When Professor Xu heard this, he immediately got to the point.
"The machine tools that were eliminated in the 50s in Hans are on an ocean-going cargo ship and will arrive at the port in about two days.
Adding the unloading and transportation, it will take at least three or four days to get to Yangcheng, right?"
Fang Xiang had no idea about the current port and freight efficiency, so he could only make an estimate.
"A whole boatload? All of them Hans machine tools from the 50s?
I'll book a ticket right now. You dare to lie to me, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Unexpectedly, Professor Xu immediately expressed his willingness to come in person, but before Fang could say anything, the other party hung up the phone.
"Researcher Fang, is it convenient for us to chat?"
Just as Fang was about to shake his head and put down the phone, a voice came from the door.
"you are?"
Fang Xiang then turned around and looked at the open door.
There stood several men who clearly had military bearings.
The one who spoke was the oldest one.
“The Guangdong Branch of the Security Bureau just received a call from the National Bureau.
Look, I came here as soon as possible.
Let me introduce myself. My surname is also Fang and we are from the same family.
He is the first person in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Branch. "
The man who was speaking had a short crew cut and looked to be in his fifties, but his eyes and spirit were obviously much younger.
He walked up to Fang Xiang and extended his hand.
"Hello, Director Fang, nice to meet you.
Sit here. "
Fang Xiang took a step forward and shook Director Fang's hand.
"Come on, have a cigarette first."
After Director Fang sat down, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Fang Xiang.
"I'll make you a new cup of tea."
The secretary who was just outside the door quickly cleaned the desk.
As he spoke, his eyes were full of curiosity when he looked at Fang Xiang.
In just one hour, two provincial leaders came in person for interviews.
This was the first time he had seen this in his short working career.
However, he didn't guess that this was just the beginning.
Soon, the secretary finished cleaning up and served new tea.
"Comrade Fang, I'm here this time to apologize to you on behalf of the provincial department.
Then we will report on our work progress.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the secretary closed the door, Director Fang’s first words scared Fang Xiang.
Even the two comrades who came with Director Fang looked sideways when they heard these words.
The cigarette in my hand, which had just been lit, shook unconsciously.
