Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

Fang Zheng immediately got up and put on his clothes. He Feng was actually here. He took the initiative to ask him out for dinner. Last time, he had agreed with Du Qingqing to return the key to the old house, but he still hadn't had time. It was a good opportunity for him to make things clear to He Feng.

When they met He Feng and his daughter in the hotel lobby, He Xinyan took He Feng's hand and asked Fang Zheng as soon as they met: "Qingjiang is fun, right?"

"There is no time to play." Fang Zheng said, "Minister Ruan and I will lead the seven of them. Many of their previous things were not standardized. Two of the quality inspectors are secondary school students and lack basic and professional knowledge. I guess they will come here more often in the future."

"Your Minister Ruan is very responsible and even came in person to support the work. Other ministers would not dare to do so."

"Of course." Fang Zheng was quite proud when talking about Ruan Xiaojing. "Our Minister Ruan is famous for being serious and not putting on airs. She is really working."

He Xinyan looked at Fang Zheng, "I see you are quite obsessed with her."

"You used the wrong word. I call this respect and appreciation." Fang Zheng turned to He Feng and said, "Uncle He, I'll take you to eat the special grilled fish here."

He Xinyan drove to a famous grilled fish restaurant in Qingjiang. It is a local internet celebrity restaurant and is crowded with guests every day.

Fang Zheng asked the waiter for a private room. The three of them ordered a few side dishes and a medium-spicy grilled fish.

When all the dishes were served, Fang Zheng said, "Uncle He, I've always wanted to talk to you."

He Feng stopped Fang Zheng from speaking with his hand.

He Xinyan immediately asked vigilantly: "What do you want to talk to my dad about?" Ever since she heard He Feng's call and learned Fang Zheng's secret, she has been troubled.

Seeing He Feng's gesture, Fang Zheng guessed that He Feng didn't want to bring up topics like old houses in front of He Xinyan, so he said, "I just want to ask Uncle He how to distinguish the quality of wood?"

He Xinyan was eating the fish, and the spicy taste made her eyes burst into tears. She said, "The taste of this fish is too strong."

"You can't eat spicy food. I should have ordered slightly spicy food." Fang Zheng rinsed the fish in water and handed it to He Feng, saying, "Uncle He, this might be better."

He Feng shook his head, "It's okay, I like spicy food, only Yanyan can't eat it."

Fang Zheng smiled at He Xinyan, "I never realized that you were so bad at eating spicy food before. After all, you were born and raised in Lincheng, so how could you not be able to eat chili peppers?"

He Xinyan stared at Fang Zheng with tears in her eyes, "Who said that people from Lincheng can only eat spicy food?"

"Stop talking." Fang Zheng handed the tissue to He Xinyan, "Wipe it quickly."

The phone on the table rang. It was Fang Zheng's cell phone.

He Xinyan saw at a glance that the caller ID showed it was Ruan Xiaojing.

Fang Zheng answered the phone: "I'm out for dinner with He Xinyan and her father. Her father is my uncle."

"It's okay. I'll feel much better after a good night's sleep. Eat something spicy and sweat it out. I'll be back to normal by tomorrow."

"Okay. Then you should go to bed early and see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, He Xinyan stared at Fang Zheng and asked, "Minister Ruan really cares about you."

"It's normal to care about your subordinates," Fang Zheng said.

"Not quite normal." He Xinyan took a sip of water and said, "Ruan Xiaojing is a well-known good girl. She does things meticulously and doesn't care about anything else. She is even more insulated from boys and won't say a word. Don't you think it's strange that she can call you to ask about your well-being?"

Fang Zheng shook his head to express his disapproval, "You are just like Fan Xueya in our department, you are cunning and gossipy."
