Chapter 150 Reunion
Walking outside the pier, Zuo Shanwen called a strong man: "Go to the store and ask the manager to drive out all the cars at home. Don't say anything else."

Turning around again, he said to Zuo Zhong: "Let's go through the back door. The house has been renovated recently. The back door can directly enter the car, and outsiders can't see inside."

Just now when Zuo Zhong introduced his colleagues, he evaded the important ones and ignored the details about the department he worked in. Zuo Shanwen didn't want to cause trouble for his son.

Zuo Zhong nodded respectfully, his father Zuo Shanwen's arrangement was very secure, even if he was allowed to arrange it, that's all. Does the Zuo family really have spy genes?
Younger brother Zuo Jun looked at Zuo Zhong with a calm face and the man in black behind him, his eyes were full of doubts. The elder brother he remembered was the same Zuo Zhong who took him down the river to catch fish and up trees to dig out bird nests. After not seeing each other for two short years, Zuo Zhong gave him a different feeling, becoming majestic.

Seeing his younger brother Zuo Jun observing him, Zuo Zhong lightly tapped his little head, feeling helpless. In his memory, the two brothers often fished for fish and shrimp, and now it is absolutely impossible for Zuo Zhong to accompany him to do these things. Otherwise, people will laugh to death.

After a while, many car lights in the distant night pierced the night and approached here. When they got to the front, everyone found that this was actually a whole convoy, no worse than the convoy that greeted Sektor.

Gu Qi and the others were stunned. This scene was too big. You must know that the East China District had been begging grandpa to sue grandma for a long time in order to gather the convoy.

"Section Chief, what does your family do? It's not a mine, is it?" Song Minghao thought he was already a rich man at first, but looking at it now, he has a low status.

Zuo Zhong glanced at him: "Do a little bit of everything, stop talking nonsense, and get in the car."

To be honest, he really didn't know what the Zuo family's main business was. Anyway, even the people from the Ningbo Business Gang had borrowed money from the old man.

Before getting into the car, Shen Dongxin said, "His family really has a mine, a silver mine."

Song Minghao's mouth grew wide in surprise. It seemed that the arms dealer was no match for others who opened mines. Even if he sold to death, he still couldn't afford such a large family business. He felt a little disheartened for a while.

The convoy rushed towards Ningbo City in the dark, and when they arrived at Zuo Zhong's house, the intelligence department was shocked again. The driver said that the dark and magnificent mansion in the distance belonged to Boss Zuo's house.

Gui Youguang sighed and said, "If I want to have such a family business as a section chief, I would have already married dozens of wives and lived a good life, so why bother."

Wu Chunyang rubbed his chin: "Dozens of wives, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on physically."

Ling Sanping interrupted suddenly: "With your body, you can marry at most three, too many are not good for your body."

The secret agent in the same car was holding back a laugh, and the three officers were joking, but they couldn't afford to get involved.

The convoy drove directly into the Zuo mansion through the spacious back door, and closed the heavy door to completely cut off the outside view. Zuo Zhong was relieved, this mission was extraordinary, and no mistakes could be made.

Zuo Shanwen got out of the car and ordered someone to prepare board and lodging. Zuo Zhong brought so many people back, and the temporary arrangement was a bit scratchy. Fortunately, Zuo's family still had several restaurants, and there was always no shortage of cooks and meals.

Gu Qi was a very discerning person, walked up to Zuo Zhong and Zuo Shanwen, said with a smile: "Let's go to settle down first, so we won't delay your family reunion."

Zuo Shanwen didn't say a word, he wanted to see how his son would deal with it. In the public house, being a man is more important than being able to do things.

Zuo Zhong flatly refused: "They are all brothers from my family. This is the first time you come to the house. Come with me to the front to meet the old man. The subordinates have their own arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."

When Gu Qi heard this, his heart became hot, and he knew that Zuo Zhong didn't treat them as outsiders. In this case, it would be wrong for him to refuse.

"Yes, Chief."

section chief?Zuo Shanwen was shocked. His son Zuo Zhong had just graduated a year ago, how could he become section chief? Even if he spent money, he couldn't be promoted so fast.

However, Zuo Zhong's handling was very appropriate, not only dividing up relatives and showing favor to others, but at the same time not breaking the etiquette, inviting them to the front hall is to meet the old man, and will not lose the face of the host family.

It seems that the officialdom has really tested people. The son who used to be impulsive and impulsive has become a seasoned official and a skilled official.

"Zuo Chong, let's go."

Zuo Shanwen saw that the crowd was almost there, and he and Zuo Zhong walked in the front to lead the way for everyone.

Along the way, Gu Qi and the others had opened their eyes, and He Yijun also knew why Zuo Zhong didn't like the former court servant's courtyard in Beiping.

Although Zuo Zhong's house is not a courtyard house, it is a standard Jiangnan garden, every step of the way is a scene, there are paintings everywhere, and extravagantly installed electric lights everywhere, walking in it is dizzying.

Zuo Zhong walked while thinking. It was not easy to persuade his father and grandfather to leave. The Zuo family's foundation was here. Once they moved out, it would be a big move. Just like this house, it took the painstaking efforts of several generations. .

How to deal with the shops, mines, and fields in various places, those managers, shopkeepers, and guys who have served the Zuo family for so many years, it is impossible to just leave it alone, these are troublesome things.

Zuo Zhong felt that he needed to have a showdown with his father Zuo Shanwen and the old man. It would be half the effort to persuade him as a junior, but it would be convincing as the chief of the intelligence department of the Secret Service.

After a while, everyone had already reached the front yard. A servant had already sent the news. Zuo Zhong saw his mother, Mei Huizhen, waiting on the porch at a glance. He saw Zuo Zhong, this dignified person The housewife's eyes turned red immediately.

It is said that the mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles. Mei Huizhen couldn't help shedding tears when she saw the eldest son who was thinner than two years ago.

Zuo Zhong bowed solemnly: "Mother, my son is back."

Mei Huizhen quickly wiped away her tears: "Hurry up and go in, the old man is waiting for you, go and say hello to the old man first."

Zuo Zhong knew that the rules of the Zuo family were like this, no matter how much Mei Huizhen had to say, she would have to wait until the old man had spoken.

Zuo Shanwen walked to his wife, Zuo Jun also stood aside obediently, Shen Dongxin, Gu Qi and others stood further away, and Zuo Zhong walked into the front hall alone.

In the front hall sat a tall and bearded old man, wearing reading glasses, looking at the ancient book in his hand, glanced at Zuo Zhong, and then turned his gaze back to the book.

Zuo Zhong knelt down on the ground in an orderly manner: "Grandson Zuo Zhong has met grandfather, I wish you a long life and boundless life."

He knew that the old man was angry in his heart. In such a big and orderly family, worshiping the ancestors every year was a big event, and the elder grandson like him couldn't be absent, but who asked him to be an instructor in the special training class at that time.

Zuo Xuechen finally put down the book in his hand, and coughed softly: "Get up, you are working for the government now, there are so many officials in the government that you can't help yourself, but why don't you explain to your family, if you don't go to school at home Xin, I don't know that you have gone to Jinling, so you must never do this in the future."

Zuo Zhong stood up, and replied respectfully: "Zuo Zhong remembered that last year's official duties were indeed rather special, and they were uninterrupted from top to bottom."

Zuo Xuechen nodded: "You said it in your letter. Although I don't understand what the instructor you said does, but the old man also knows that the responsibility is heavy. You are right to lead by example. It is lazy to teach not to be strict."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the Western clock, and greeted the butler next to him: "Young master brought his colleagues back, you let the back kitchen take care of the back yard, and all the supplies will be served according to the best, and a few more dishes will be added here in the front hall."

Zuo Chong knew in his heart that it was difficult to hide the big and small matters in this courtyard from the old man, the old man knew long ago that he would bring someone to visit.

Sure enough, Zuo Xuechen said: "Let everyone come in. It's not good to keep your colleagues waiting outside the door for a long time. You can introduce me to me."

Zuo Zhong bowed slightly: "Okay, grandfather." After speaking, he walked out of the front hall and nodded to his father Zuo Shanwen.

Soon Gu Qi and others came in accompanied by Zuo Shanwen and met the old man one by one. Zuo Zhong introduced in a low voice beside him, and Zuo Xuechen said something from time to time.

"Shen Dongxin has met the old man, I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life than Nanshan." Finally, Shen Dongxin knelt down and kowtowed, with a strong desire to survive.

Zuo Zhong was a little speechless, so he told his grandfather Zuo Xuechen what happened to him. The old man didn't say much after listening, but just said: "It's good to be back, everyone, let's sit first."

Zuo Zhong and his father Zuo Shanwen stepped forward to support the old man, but Zuo Xuechen waved his hands and walked towards the dining room briskly. He seemed to be in good health.

The back kitchen had already been prepared, and seeing the host's family having a banquet, the servants passed on all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and the well-informed Song Minghao couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Chunyang, look at this sea cucumber, it is estimated to be this number." Song Minghao stretched out his hand to Wu Chunyang next to him, and gestured for a number.

He Yijun was also very nervous, because she was sitting beside Zuo Zhong's mother, Mei Huizhen, and the servants looked at her strangely.

Mei Huizhen noticed the nervousness of the girl beside her, she smiled slightly, and comforted her: "The servants rarely see strangers, so it's a little rude."

He Yijun shook his head quickly, blushing and said: "I'm fine, thank you Ma'am."

At this moment, Zuo Xuechen raised his wine glass and said to Gu Qi and the others: "Then let's get started. You are all colleagues of Zuo Zhong. I hope you will support his work more in the future."

The intelligence department stood up all of a sudden, even He Yijun, standing upright with a glass of wine in his hand, Gu Qi said on behalf of everyone: "Junior and others thank the old man." Then everyone drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zuo Xuechen's eyes narrowed, how could these colleagues of his grandson look like members of the army, the gang at the Ningbo Police Station did not have this kind of aura.

He calmly took a sip from his wine glass, and asked with a smile, "You Jinling policemen are here in Ningbo this time, do you have any business to do?"

Gu Qi had just sat down, and when he heard the question, he showed embarrassment, and said vaguely: "Yes, I am here to investigate and deal with a major case in Ningbo this time. It is inconvenient to disclose the specific details, and I apologize for my impoliteness."

"Haha, it's a good thing that you are loyal to your duties. Everyone, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks." The old man laughed heartily, but his eyes turned to Zuo Zhong.

Section Chief Zuo was sitting between his mother and father at this time, very well-behaved.
