Chen Xiao immediately took Wang Shu and left the restaurant to head to the district bureau.
And Vice Director Zhang mentioned by Lin Xi, who was Chen Xiao's old acquaintance, Zhang Xian, was already waiting in the office.
As soon as they met, Chen Xiao proactively greeted:
"Hello, Leader!"
Zhang Xian's previously warm smile suddenly froze, and he lit a cigarette for himself:
"Why do I feel it's more dangerous when you call me 'leader' than when you call me 'brother'?"
"Oh, you're just saying that. We're at the bureau, and anyway, can there be a brotherly relationship between me and Director Zhang? It's brotherhood!"
As Chen Xiao spoke, he sat down, and Lin Xi poured two cups of water, laughing:
"Why don't we just close the door and talk today, how about that?"
Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian were naturally on good terms, but since they were at the bureau, Chen Xiao used this sort of joking manner to talk to him.
It wouldn't seem too distant, nor excessively close.
