Chapter 259: 259
Yu Wenhua was supposed to meet Xiao Bing tonight and Xiao Bing didn’t want to miss it . After all, the final war was imminent, so he did not want to waste too much time on this vice secretary of the provincial party committee . Yet he could not refuse this big man, so the sooner he met him, the better .
On the way to Harbin, Xiao Bing was wondering what this man, who held great power in Hei Province, wanted from him . He had never met this man before . Actually, now he was the mogul of the underground world in Hei Province while Yu Wenhua was in charge of the public security in this area . All the police in Hei Province answered to him .
In other words, it was a meeting of the leaders of the government and the gangs in Hei Province . But Xiao Bing didn’t think that he could be on equal terms with this man . After all, no matter how high his position was in the underground, he still could not rival the government . Yu Wenhua was the representative of a government department that was dedicated to punishing those who did evil deeds .
As powerful as Master Hou was, he dared not to offend the government . After all, the government could destroy the underground world without much effort . Hence, the moguls in the underground world, no matter how powerful they were, would definitely feel nervous when they were about to meet a government official as big as Yu Wenhua .
But Xiao Bing was not nervous . Maybe it was because Xiao Bing had just taken Master Hou’s place and he had not been in that state of mind yet . Besides, Xiao Bing was once the captain of the Dragon Gate, so he was familiar with situations like this .
There was a five hours’ drive between Jiang City and Harbin, the capital of the province . Xiao Bing started driving at 10 a . m . and finally arrived at 3 p . m .
After he went downtown, he drove to a hotel and checked in, then he called Yu Wenhua in his room .
The phone beeped and then he got through . “Hello? Is this the vice secretary of the provincial party committee?” Xiao Bing asked softly .
Xiao Bing sounded neither deferential nor arrogant but very polite .
Yu Wenhua was seemingly smiling on the phone . “You’re good . I can tell that you are quite a decent man from the way you talk . You don’t sound nervous when talking to the vice secretary of the provincial party committee . Few young men of your age can be as calm as you . You just arrived, right? I will have a meeting later and it will be over at about 5 . I assume you must be tired because of the driving . Tell me your address . Have some rest, and later, I’ll send my man to pick you up . ”
Xiao Bing did not refuse Yu Wenhua’s offer . He told this man the address of the hotel and his room number . Then he hung up after they exchanged goodbyes .
One day’s driving might be tiring, but it was nothing to Xiao Bing . Xiao Bing did not lie on the bed, instead, he walked to the balcony . He could not help sighing when thinking that the nights of this city had belonged to the Long family one month ago . And now it fell on his hands .
In Harbin, some men that took control of the underground world took orders from Xiao Bing . Xiao Bing did not tell them about his arrival, since Xiao Bing could make it on time and he wanted to keep a low profile . After the meeting, Xiao Bing decided to take a stroll around this city, which had a certain Russian style .
When it was about half-past five, the landline in his room rang . Xiao Bing picked it up and heard the receptionist’s soft and sweet voice . “Good evening, Mr . Xiao . There’s someone at the front desk to pick you up . ”
“All right, I know . Tell them to wait a minute . I’m coming . ”
Xiao Bing didn’t dawdle . He went into the elevator and walked out when it descended to the first floor . He found a man in a suit standing next to the counter . Upon seeing Xiao Bing walk out of the elevator, the female receptionist instantly said, “Mr . Xiao, this man is here to pick you up . ”
The man clad in the suit straightened his body hurriedly . Then he held out his hands and smiled amiably . “You’re Mr . Xiao, right? It’s a pleasure to meet you . I’m Mr . Yu’s driver . He’s waiting for you at the hotel . He asked me to pick you up . ”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you . ” Xiao Bing didn’t dare to show any disrespect to him, even though he was merely a driver . “May I know your name?”
It’s a courtesy to ask for people’s names . After all, it’s rude to call a driver “driver” . Xiao Bing knew that sometimes to impress someone’s driver was more important than to impress his junior officers . Because for a leader, his driver was often the one he trusted most . The driver knew the leader’s comings and goings . He would not have been put in such an important position if the leader didn’t put enough trust in him .
