Shen Qingyun separated from Wen Qiang and left the police station.
He had no interest in attending gatherings of old men. If he had time, he might as well have a meal with Zhou Xue.
soon.
Shen Qingyun came to the Fifth Department Store.
This is the largest shopping mall in Fumin County, and it is located in the center of the entire county. It can be said to be quite prosperous.
Seeing the people coming and going around, Shen Qingyun frowned.
He remembered something. New Year's Day had just passed and the Chinese New Year would be celebrated in less than a month.
This kind of time happens to be when the thieves are most active.
"You have to contact the anti-piracy squadron when you get back."
Shen Qingyun was thinking in his mind.
The holiday is about to come, and it would be a bit outrageous if those thieves really disrupted the mood of the people during the New Year.
"What are you thinking about?"
At this moment.
A crisp voice sounded in Shen Qingyun's ears.
He raised his head and saw Zhou Xue wearing a white down jacket and hat appearing in front of him.
"I called you several times, but you didn't hear me."
Zhou Xue glared at Shen Qingyun dissatisfied: "Thankfully, I bought you fruit specially."
She knew that Shen Qingyun was often busy with work and didn't even bother to eat fruit, so she simply bought him a bag of fruit every time they met. Shen Qingyun refused at first, but now that it's been a long time, she's used to it.
"Haha, it's nothing."
Hearing this, Shen Qingyun stretched out his hand to take the bag of fruit naturally, and said in a low voice: "I'm thinking that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have to ask the police to strengthen patrols in this market, especially the anti-pocket squadron. We can’t let those petty thieves ruin people’s joy in celebrating the New Year.”
"Okay, you're right."
Zhou Xue nodded slightly, fully agreeing with Shen Qingyun's words.
Zhou Xue felt very good about Shen Qingyun's serious and responsible work attitude. After all, her father also told her that no matter what profession she was in, the most important thing was to do her job well.
"Let's go and eat some stew in an iron pot."
Shen Qingyun smiled and said to Zhou Xue: "It will definitely be comfortable to eat some iron pot stew today."
"OK."
Zhou Xue nodded quickly.
The two people got into the taxi one after another.
"Master, go to the Xin Sanjiang iron pot to stew."
Shen Qingyun reported the name of an iron pot stew shop. This was the place he heard Qiang say before, saying that the iron pot stew restaurant was the best.
"OK."
The taxi driver nodded in agreement and started the car.
The county seat of Fumin County is actually not that big. It only takes less than ten minutes to drive from Hong'an Park in the east to the Medical College in the west. This is indeed a bit small for a county town.
Therefore, Shen Qingyun and Zhou Xue quickly arrived at the iron pot stew shop.
"This is my first time eating here."
Zhou Xue looked at the plaque on the iron pot and said to Shen Qingyun: "Our colleagues wanted to come here to eat before, but I couldn't make it since I was on duty."
“It tastes pretty good.”
Shen Fei smiled and said, "I heard that if it doesn't taste good, he will be responsible."
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Xue laughed directly.
Shen Qingyun didn't say anything more and took her straight in.
They asked for a private room and sat down.
"Are you very busy at work these days?"
Zhou Xue frowned slightly when she saw Shen Qingyun looking slightly tired.
"fine."
Shen Qingyun shook his head and said: "I just stayed up late yesterday. We are all busy at the end of the year and the beginning of the year."
"All right."
Zhou Xue nodded slightly and said nothing more.
She is a very smart girl, so she naturally knows that Shen Qingyun has a special job and there are some things that she cannot tell herself.
This was confirmed by her father when she was a child.
Since there were only two people, they didn't order much, so they ordered a normal pork ribs pot with some chicken feet.
Iron pot stew in the Northeast can be regarded as a special dish. It is no exaggeration to say that a dish that future generations will have to order when they come to the north is iron pot stew.
and.
This thing is economical, large in quantity, and filling. It is definitely a favorite treat for many people.
Of course, Shen Qingyun was not short of money and brought Zhou Xue to eat this purely because he thought it was delicious and took her to try it.
After knowing each other for so long, Shen Qingyun gradually discovered that Zhou Xue must have a good background. She must have never eaten anything like stew in an iron pot.
The two of them were quite happy chatting while eating.
"By the way, I heard..."
Zhou Xue was about to speak, but suddenly froze.
Because just at the door of the private room where they were sitting, several figures just passed by.
Zhou Xue recognized two of them at once.
Before she could say hello, the other party also recognized her.
"Xiaoxue, are you having dinner with your friends?"
Wen Qiang said with a smile.
"Well, I heard you're here too."
Zhou Xue quickly stood up and said hello.
Wen Qiang just had a smile on his face, but the next second, he froze when he saw Shen Qingyun.
"Qingyun, why are you here?"
Looking at Shen Qingyun, he said subconsciously.
Shen Qingyun was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up and said hello: "I made an appointment with Zhou Xue for dinner."
While he was talking, he saw Sun Jian's poker face behind Wen Qiang.
Behind them, there were several other people, all acquaintances.
"Bureau Sun, Director Liu, Director Jiang..."
Shen Qingyun said hello quickly.
These people either had worked at the Hong'an Police Station or were on good terms with Sun Jian. It seemed like a gathering of a small circle.
Everyone naturally knows Shen Qingyun, and many of them have even seen the scene when Zhou Xue took care of him in the ward when he was shot, so they are not surprised by this scene.
After exchanging pleasantries, they were ready to leave.
"Let's eat together."
At this time, Sun Jian suddenly said: "Director Shen and Xiaoxue, please come together and ask the boss to remove this table."
"ah?"
Zhou Xue was stunned, and even Shen Qingyun was a little surprised.
But then he thought of Sun Jian's attitude towards him before, glanced at Zhou Xue with a slightly strange expression, nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go together."
After all, some things are just human nature, and Shen Qingyun understood it immediately.
Sun Jian's prejudice against him probably has nothing to do with work, and is purely a matter of personal feelings.
This kind of mentality probably belongs to the feeling of a home-raised baby cabbage accidentally being bitten by a pig.
Although he did not show any close relationship with Zhou Xue, in Sun Jian's eyes, the fact that he and Zhou Xue had dinner together made him very uncomfortable.
soon.
The owner of the hotel came over and let them into another private room.
The room is large, with enough space for seven or eight people to sit down.
"Let's just get together today and not talk about work."
Sun Jian glanced at everyone and slowly spoke to set the tone for today's gathering.
