The next morning, Chen Xing woke up naturally and went out after breakfast. Shen Yuanming was already waiting outside the community with Xu Bin in the car. Seeing Chen Xing coming out of the community, Shen Yuanming got out of the car politely and helped Chen Xing open the door before Huang Jianghua.
Secretary Chen. Xu Bin also got out of the car at this time. When Chen Xing came out, he didn't dare to continue sitting in the car calmly.
"Let's go to the ministry early. I hope we can get things done as soon as possible." Chen Xing glanced at Shen Yuanming, then turned to Xu Bin and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shen Yuanming immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll take a shortcut later."
They got into the car, and Xu Bin and Chen Xing sat in the back seat. Xu Bin had already received the news last night that Li Yanpei had woken up. In the car, Xu Bin wanted to talk to Chen Xing several times about Li Yanpei, but when he saw Shen Yuanming in the driver's seat, Xu Bin shut his mouth again. Xu Bin had no doubt that anything he said to Chen Xing in the car would immediately reach the ears of Zhang Lixing and the others. He really had to be vigilant.
"Secretary, the people in the ministry are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for us to apply for the first National E-commerce Conference to be held in Mount Wang." Shen Yuanming said as he started the car.
Whenever there was a project in the city that needed money from the Ministry, it would usually be carried out through the Beijing Office. This time was no exception. The city wanted to hold the first National E-commerce Conference in Mount Wang. After receiving instructions from the Beijing Office, they had already started their activities. These days, he had invited several groups of people from the Ministry of Commerce. The highest position was the Deputy Director, and the lowest position was even a small staff member who had just entered the Ministry. A lot of money had been spent, and some information had been obtained. However, he didn't know if it would be of much use to Chen Xing.
"Tell me what you know first." Chen Xing said.
"According to the information I've heard, the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce is responsible for organizing this time. It has transferred people from the General Office, the Policy Research Office, and the General Affairs Department to form a temporary working group to select and inspect the venue of the first E-commerce Conference.
That's right. In that case, it's quite strict. Chen Xing smiled. He was not surprised that the Ministry attached so much importance to this event. In the past, there had been regional E-commerce conferences held by local governments, but it was the first time that the Ministry took the lead and raised the standard to the national level. However, as long as one knew the rapid development of E-commerce economy in recent years and the high proportion of E-commerce in the consumer economy, one could understand the reason why the Ministry attached so much importance to this event.
As a new economic growth point today, the e-commerce economy would occupy a higher and higher proportion of the national economy in the future. It was no exaggeration to say that it had attracted the attention of the higher-ups.
Moreover, Chen Xing actually got more information than Shen Yuanming. This time, the National E-commerce Conference would also invite foreign E-commerce giants and some multinational companies to participate. The Ministry hoped to promote the development of domestic E-commerce economy through such an exchange platform and guide domestic E-commerce enterprises to go abroad and face international development. Moreover, once the first conference was held successfully, it would be held every year in the future. Therefore, Chen Xing hoped that the first conference would be held in Mount Wang. In the future, it would be held in Mount Wang every year, which would play an immeasurable role in enhancing the influence of Mount Wang and the development of the E-commerce economy.
"It's quite strict, and it's going to be a big event. I heard that several cities have applied for it, and they are all big coastal cities with developed economies." Shen Yuanming said.
"Secretary Chen, it seems that our competitors this time are very strong." Xu Bin interrupted at the right time.
"It's not that our competitors are strong, but that we are too weak." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Indeed, we can't compare with others in terms of urban hardware or internal construction." Xu Bin nodded in agreement.
They talked in the car and soon arrived at their destination. The community where Chen Xing lived was not far from Chang 'an Street, where the office of the Ministry of Commerce was located. Shen Yuanming was very familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital. He took the shortest route and felt that they had arrived in the car after sitting for a while.
They went upstairs. As soon as they got out of the elevator and were about to turn a corner in the corridor, Secretary Huang Jianghua, who was walking next to Chen Xing, suddenly exclaimed. "Secretary, be careful."
After all, Chen Xing's warning came a little late. The person who came out from the other side of the corner did not collide with others, but Chen Xing. Before Chen Xing realized what was going on, he was almost knocked over by the person. He rubbed his aching forehead and took a closer look. Only then did he see that the person who bumped into him was a young man in his twenties. He was dressed in exquisite work clothes, black trousers, and a white shirt. The shirt was white and shiny.
Chen Xingxian apologized apologetically when he thought of how careless he was when he was walking. As he spoke, he bent over to help pick up the documents that were scattered on the ground. Huang Jianghua and Shen Yuanming were already quick to help pick them up.
"What are you doing?" The young man was about the same height as Chen Xing. He also bumped his forehead, and the documents in his hands were scattered on the ground. As he picked up the documents that Shen Yuanming and Huang Jianghua had picked up, he rubbed his forehead and looked at Chen Xing and the other two in confusion.
"We came to the Ministry to do something." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Local people?" The young man squinted at them and asked with uncertainty. His eyes began to gradually become arrogant. If they were all from other ministries and commissions in the capital, the young man might be a little more polite. However, when he saw that they might be from the local area, the style of the big bosses in the capital made the young man feel good about himself. In their eyes, they were always a notch higher than the local people.
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded. When he saw the young man's eyes, he did not take it seriously.
"Really, what's wrong with the guards? How can they let anyone in? They don't even know how to walk. The guards are becoming more and more incompetent." As expected, when the young man heard that Chen Xing and the others were from the local area, his face immediately became arrogant. He did not speak to Chen Xing anymore, turned around, and walked away. As he walked, he muttered. Although his voice was low, it seemed that he deliberately let Chen Xing and the others hear him.
"Secretary, don't take it to heart. These people from the ministries and commissions are like this. When they see people from the local area, they are a notch higher than others. I don't know why they are so proud." When Shen Yuanming heard the young man's words, he hurriedly said. He was often in the capital and had dealt with people from the ministries and commissions many times, so he had long been used to this kind of thing.
"Haha, why bother with this kind of small comrade? If I get angry with them, I won't be able to get angry." Chen Xing smiled and patted Shen Yuanming on the shoulder, then walked forward.
"Secretary, you are broad-minded. I have to learn more from you. I have been in the capital for so many years and have dealt with people from the ministries and commissions countless times. Sometimes, I still have the mentality of complaining. It seems that my awareness needs to be improved. I must firmly follow Secretary Chen's example." Shen Yuanming smiled and caught up with Chen Xing's footsteps, quietly flattering him.
Xu Bin, who was beside him, just glanced at Shen Yuanming, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Secretary, I have an appointment with Director Cui from the general office of the ministry in the morning. Let's go directly to him now." Shen Yuanming did not pay attention to Xu Bin's eyes at all. Even if he did, he would not care. Although he, the director of the Beijing office, was one level lower than Xu Bin, the deputy mayor, and his power was far less, he did not need to care about Xu Bin's opinion. Moreover, he and Xu Bin were not the same kind of people. At this moment, he wanted to show his ability in front of Chen Xing.
As soon as Shen Yuanming's voice fell, they were stopped by someone. "Hey, hey, what are you guys doing? This is an office. Who allowed you to walk around? If you have something to do, go and register in advance."
They saw a middle-aged woman coming out of an office on the side of the corridor. She stared at Chen Xing and the others with an unfriendly expression.
"Hello, comrade. We are here to look for Director Cui." Shen Yuanming, the director of the Beijing office, played a role again at this time. He had dealt with people from all walks of life, so he had adapted to the various changes in roles.
"You are looking for Director Cui, right? Then you have to go to the reception room and wait. Who asked you to walk around on your own? If you were seen by the leader, it would be inappropriate." Hearing that they were looking for Director Cui, the middle-aged woman's expression softened a little, and then she looked quite impatient. She pointed to the back of the corridor and said, "Go to the reception room and wait first. It is the last room at the back. Director Cui is busy now and has no time to see you. Don't run around."
"Okay, okay, then I'll have to trouble you." Shen Yuanming nodded with a smile and bent down. He stretched out his hands to shake hands with the middle-aged woman.
At this moment, Chen Xing stared dumbfoundedly at Shen Yuanming, who had been hiding a red packet in his palm a moment ago. When he put his hands back, they were already empty. Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman withdrew her hands calmly and put them into her pockets as if nothing had happened. She looked at them and reminded them again, "You guys go over there and wait. I'll inform Director Cui."
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she turned around and left. Shen Yuanming looked back and saw Chen Xing's expression. He smiled and explained, "I know this woman, but she doesn't know me. She is a very difficult person to deal with. She is not an official staff of the Ministry. This kind of person can't do much for others, but her ability to cause trouble is first-class. I really can't offend her."
