Chapter 665 Minister Bai Returns

In the evening, when Sun Zhengguo was almost at his doorstep by car, he suddenly discovered that the empty building next to his house seemed to have a new resident.

"Hey! Zhengnan, when did this resident move in? Why didn't I notice?"

"Brother, it's not that you didn't notice. This should be the tenant who just moved in today, because when I came to pick you up this morning, I didn't see anyone here."

After hearing what his cousin said, Sun Zhengguo didn't care.

When the car stopped in front of his house, he got out and then Sun Zhengnan drove away.

After entering the house and putting down his bag, Sun Zhengguo was about to speak when his grandfather spoke first.

"Jungguk, what's going on with the house next door? Do you know each other?"

Sun Zhengguo was stunned by his grandfather's confusing words and shook his head out of habit.

"Grandpa, I don't know the family next door, why do you ask this?"

"You don't know him? That's strange."

Grandpa then explained, "As soon as you went to work in the morning, your grandma and I were taking a walk when we found that someone had moved next door, but we didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Who would have thought that at noon, a man who looked like an official would come to our door, bringing many gifts and inviting us to dinner with our family in the evening? Who do you think this could be?"

After listening to his grandfather's explanation, Sun Zhengguo was also confused and had no idea who the other person was.

But the gifts on the table are real things, all high-end goods.

Besides, anyone who can live here must be of extraordinary status.

Who could it be? Sun Zhengguo was not sure.

At this time, Ning Xiaowei couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandpa, the other party didn't reveal anything at all?"

Grandpa recalled and shook his head, "The other party didn't mention it, he just said that the leader had just returned and was handing over work in the department, and he was also following the arrangements."

When he said this, grandpa seemed to suddenly think of something?

"Oh~! Now I remember, he mentioned that the boss missed your good wine very much."

As soon as his grandfather said this, Sun Zhengguo suddenly realized. He had guessed who it was?

"Hahaha! It seems that we are really old friends. Since he is so polite, let's go out for dinner as a family tonight."

"Zhengguo, who is it?" Ning Xiaowei blinked and asked playfully.

"Wife, don't worry. We are all old acquaintances. I still remember ten years ago..."

Just when Sun Zhengguo was about to reveal the other party's identity, a car horn suddenly sounded outside the house, interrupting him.

When Sister Wu heard the sound, she hurried to open the door. Sun Zhengguo had no choice but to wait and followed her out.

Outside the house, an elderly couple was slowly getting out of a black car.

When Sun Zhengguo walked out of the house and saw the two of them, he couldn't help but smile and quickly walked towards them.

"Deputy Minister Bai, Madam, welcome back."

"Hahaha! Jungkook, it's been ten years and you're still so young. You don't seem to have changed at all."

Deputy Minister Bai walked up quickly and stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands tightly.

Then Zhang Nan also stepped forward, "Zhengguo, you didn't expect it to be us, did you?"

"What are you talking about, Madam? When Grandpa reminded me just now, I guessed it was you. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Having said that, Sun Zhengguo quickly invited everyone into the house, even Secretary Hu next to him was not left out.

At this moment, Ning Xiaowei also walked out of the house. When she saw the person coming, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Uncle Bai, Aunt Zhang, it's you. When did you come back? We didn't hear any news at all."

"Oh! It's Xiaowei! After so many years, you haven't changed at all except that you've become more beautiful. You're nothing like an old aunt like me. Oh~! By the way, your uncle Bai and I just came back this morning."

Zhang Nan walked up to Ning Xiaowei, held her hand and started praising her non-stop, making her feel a little embarrassed.

"No, no, Aunt Zhang, even so I'm still afraid that someone will look down on me!"

As she spoke, Ning Xiaowei glanced at Sun Zhengguo, as if she knew something.

Deputy Minister Bai nodded and then started joking.

"Comrade Zhengguo! The someone Xiaowei was talking about, it couldn't be you, right?"

"Hahaha!"

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sun Zhengguo felt a little embarrassed. Was he that kind of person?

After a brief greeting, everyone went into the house and saw the old man and the old lady. Deputy Minister Bai and his wife also greeted them politely.

Next, Ning Xiaowei made tea, and everyone sat down in the living room and started chatting.

Deputy Minister Bai then casually asked, "Zhengguo, where are your sons?"

Sun Zhengguo smiled and replied: "He is studying in the house. Didn't he hear the news? The eldest son is ready to give it a try."

"Oh~!" Deputy Minister Bai nodded, looking thoughtful.

He knew about the resumption of the college entrance examination, and now he was secretly thinking about whether to kidnap Sun Zhengguo's son.

Considering that his father didn't manage well back then, I think his son won't be bad either.

However, Deputy Minister Bai can only think about these things in his mind. By the time his son graduates, Sun Zhengguo will probably have made arrangements, so it will not be his turn.

Just then, the three brothers who were studying in the room heard the noise outside and walked out of the room.

Ning Xiaowei made the tea and when she saw her sons coming out, she quickly introduced them.

"Shujie, Shukang, Shusheng, why don't you say hello to Grandpa Bai and Grandma Zhang when you see them? They held you in their arms back then!"

When the three children heard their mother mention this, even though they had no impression of it, they still greeted her in unison.

"Hello, Grandpa Bai, hello, Grandma Zhang."

"Hello, kids." Deputy Minister Bai and his wife also responded happily.

Then, Deputy Minister Bai asked his secretary to take out the gifts that had been prepared long ago, three Hero brand pens, and gave one to each of the children.

"Thank you, Grandpa Bai, thank you, Grandma Zhang." The three children happily accepted the pens following their parents' instructions.

"You're welcome." When Zhang Nan saw the kids, his old habit came back and he started praising them.

"These children are so polite and handsome. I don't know which girl they will marry in the future."

Well! After she praised him like that, the child felt embarrassed.

Seeing his son's embarrassed look, Sun Zhengguo quickly changed the subject and asked about the specific work matters of Deputy Minister Bai's return this time.

Who knows? It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't ask, but when I asked, I really didn't expect it.

It turned out that Deputy Minister Bai had been doing well in the south in recent years, and this time he was transferred back to his old job and returned to work in the Ministry of Metallurgy. However, he accidentally got promoted directly to a full-time position.

Then Sun Zhengguo hurriedly congratulated him, "Congratulations! Minister Bai, it seems that this trip to the south is not without benefits."

Listening to Sun Zhengguo's congratulations, Minister Bai smiled without saying anything and just stared at him blankly.
