By the time Chen Chao arrived, Shen Xin had already finished telling Ma Chunxin everything he knew.
"Old Ma?"
Seeing Ma Chunxin, Chen Chao's eyes lit up. He walked up and gave Ma Chunxin a punch.
The punch barely moved him; Ma Chunxin was rock-steady.
Ma Chunxin grinned and said, "The last time we met was… well, the last time. It's been too long. You brat, ever since you became deputy captain, you've been as busy as the bureau chief. It's hard to even get a glimpse of you."
Chen Chao retorted, "Get outta here. Didn't I ask you out for drinks before the New Year? You were the one who said you were busy."
Then he slung an arm around Ma Chunxin's shoulders and introduced him to Shen Xin again.
Only then did Shen Xin learn that the two had worked together at the branch bureau and had been partners.
Later, because Ma Chunxin's wife worked in the archives of the New District Branch, he, with Liu Baoqing's encouragement, found a way to get transferred there.
