Chapter 317 Conversation
In his aunt's office, He Shu called Ma Anqi.
He and Ma Anqi had only met once. They exchanged contact information last time, but they never contacted each other again.
The call was quickly connected, and Ma Anqi's soft and slightly magnetic voice came from the other end: "He Shu? Long time no see."
"Sister Ma, do you have time? I want to meet you."
Ma Anqi said with a smile: "If you are willing to call me Sister Anqi, I have time."
He Shu was speechless for a moment, but he quickly responded, "Sister Anqi."
"Okay, when would you like to meet?"
"Now."
"Then maybe you need to come find me."
"Okay, tell me the address."
After hanging up the phone, He Shu said something to his aunt and went to find Ma Anqi.
Qi Xue nodded in agreement, saying that Xiao Ding would accompany He Shu.
After He Shu left, Qi Xue immediately called Zhou Zhensheng and asked him to recommend two trustworthy people to accompany He Shu to Nanzhan.
Although she has now taken over Zhou Zhensheng's previous position, she is unable to fully control all departments of the Special Intelligence Bureau at once.
This is why Zhou Zhensheng has not been able to retire completely, but has to stay here to assist her.
Just after I finished talking to Zhou Zhensheng on the phone, the office phone rang.
Qi Xue looked at the incoming call number and frowned slightly. It was from the higher-level department.
She took a deep breath before answering the phone, informing Qi Xue and the Special Intelligence Bureau cadres to attend a meeting at the higher authorities tomorrow.
What kind of meeting is being held all of a sudden ? After Qi Xue received the notice, she intuitively felt that this meeting was aimed at their Special Intelligence Bureau.
Because in the past, even if the superiors wanted to convey orders, it was not necessary for all the cadres in the department to attend.
She thought about it, gave the notice first, then got up and drove back home.
The old man was not at home. After asking her sister-in-law, Qi Xue found out that she had gone out with Mr. Dong. She then called Xiao Lu, Mr. Dong's bodyguard.
Let him send the two old men back and then sit at home and wait.
When Zhu Yu saw Qi Xue like this, she knew that it was an important matter. She usually didn't ask about it, because both Qi Zhijun and Qi Xue at home were often involved in confidentiality tasks.
Zhu Yu made a cup of hot milk powder for Qi Xue and sat next to her.
"Xiaoxue, don't be too impatient about work. Look at your face, it's very ugly. You just recovered not long ago. You have to take good care of yourself."
Qi Xue held the hot milk powder prepared by her sister-in-law, took a sip, and her mouth was filled with the fragrance of milk.
"Well, sister-in-law, I love to drink this."
Zhu Yu smiled: "I don't know you yet? You were the one who secretly ate all the milk powder at home."
Qi Xue also laughed. Not only had she stolen milk powder from home when she was a child, she also did the same when she grew up.
When Guangxing was just born, she stole her nephew's milk powder and was caught by her sister-in-law.
It’s not that she can’t eat it normally, but she just likes to do it that way.
Suddenly remembering the past, Qi Xue looked at the wrinkles at the corners of her sister-in-law's eyes and the few strands of white hair that were becoming increasingly obvious, and suddenly she felt tears in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, if it weren't for have broken up long ago. Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. You have given too much for this family."
Qi Xue was sincerely grateful to her sister-in-law for her loyalty to the Qi family. The Qi family were all straightforward people who kept everything to themselves and didn't know how to comfort others.
To be honest, my sister-in-law didn't go completely crazy. It was all thanks to her own strength.
And even during the most difficult years, my sister-in-law still took good care of my father and the family.
Zhu Yu patted Qi Xue's leg and said, "Don't say that. I'm the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. Isn't this what I should do?"
"Xiaoxue, is there something wrong?"
Zhu Yu noticed that Qi Xue was a little unusual today and started to worry again.
Qi Xue shook her head: "It's okay, sister-in-law. I've been transferred back now and don't have to go on any dangerous missions. What else can be difficult?"
Zhu Yu also had a look of pity on her face: "Yes, as a woman, you should have settled down long ago. If you find someone suitable in the future, you can start a family."
"Sister-in-law, you bring this up again. I'm already this old, what kind of person can I find? I dislike old ones, and young ones also dislike me."
Zhu Yu couldn't help laughing: "You don't look old. You still look the same as before, just a little girl who hasn't grown up. Besides, who would dare to despise you?"
The old man's voice came from outside the door. Qi Xue winked at Zhu Yu: "Don't talk about this. If Dad hears it, he will nag me again."
Old Master Qi came in with a small bucket in his hand.
Zhu Yu hurried forward to take a look: "Oh, Dad, this fish is really big today."
"Hehe, if you hadn't called me back, I would have caught more."
After giving the small bucket to his daughter-in-law, the old man said, "Let's make some fish soup tonight. I brought back all the big ones. Why does old Dong want big fish? He can't finish them."
"Okay, I'll stew the fish."
Zhu Yu knew that Qi Xue had something to say to the old man, so she went to the kitchen carrying a small bucket.
The old man sat on the sofa, took off the sun hat Xia Miao bought for him, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
Qi Xue poured him a cup of warm water, then sat there waiting for the old man to drink the water and take a breath.
"What's the matter?"
"My superiors called me today and asked all the leading cadres in the bureau to attend a meeting tomorrow."
Qi Xue said directly: "You also know about Director Zhou's situation. Now I am completely clueless. The higher-ups are going to hold a meeting at this time, and I am unsure."
The old man picked up the water cup and took a sip: "Don't think too much."
"Dad, at a time like this, I can't help but think about it. Xiaoshu has decided to go to Nanzhan."
The old man paused, turned his head and looked at Qi Xue: "He's going?"
"Yes, the kid has his own ideas and convinced me. The problem is that now the other party specifically wants to see him, and he is no longer safe. It is right to resolve the issue as soon as possible."
Mr. Qi put down his water cup and leaned back on the sofa: "Who did you arrange to accompany him?"
"These are two people recommended by Director Zhou. He Shu will take Ma Anqi with him."
"Okay, I understand. You can go tomorrow if you want. I'll ask for you."
With the old man's assurance, Qi Xue felt much more relaxed. She didn't want to worry about her father at such an old age.
But in terms of some network of relationships, she and her elder brother are far inferior to their father.
After finishing the business, the old man turned the topic to He Shu.
"We shouldn't have gone to such lengths to let He Shu go undercover, and now he's involved."
Qi Xue looked at the old man in surprise. Was this what the old man said?
When has her father ever been afraid of trouble? They say that the relationship between generations is very different.
"Dad, Director Zhou meant well. Who could have thought that this thread would become longer and longer?"
The old man stood up slowly: "Humph, I think some people have lived in peace and comfort for too long! They have forgotten how their current lives came about , and they still want to shake the interests and order of the country and the people..."
