"Chen Xing, that girl is not bad." In the elevator, Chen Bin winked at Chen Xing with a smile.
"Why? Are you interested in her? Let me tell you, she is a married woman. If you want to lay your hands on her, you have to take it easy. " Chen Xing smiled calmly. Speaking of Zhao Qing, Chen Xing felt very calm.
"Hey, that's good. If we want to play, we should play something difficult. Otherwise, it won't be challenging at all." Chen Bin grinned.
"Really? I didn't know that you like excitement." Chen Xing nodded with a smile. "In order to let you challenge something difficult, I will give you some information first so that you can be fully prepared. Her name is Zhao Qing. She is 27 years old and just had a baby. The man next to her is her husband. I don't know his specific name, but I know a little bit about his background. He is the son of Sun Zhihe, the Executive Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. As for what her husband does, I don't know the situation, but I heard that he runs a company. Well, I have Zhao Qing's phone number. I will find it for you." Chen Xing said and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
"No, no, Chen Xing, please don't find it for me. I was just joking with you." Seeing that Chen Xing was really going to give him his phone number, Chen Bin hurriedly held Chen Xing's hand with a wry smile.
"Chen Bin, are you going to give up so soon? I remember that you just said that you want to challenge something difficult. Now you are going to give up? That's not like a man. " Chen Xing laughed.
"One must know one's limitations. I know my own strength very well. I'd better not touch that kind of woman, or I will ruin my future." Chen Bin shook his head with a smile. Compared with a woman's beauty, the bottom was more important. Moreover, he thought that the woman was Chen Xing's friend, so he was joking.
They talked and laughed as they returned to the Party School. Behind them, Zhao Qing, Sun Xiang, and Lee Zheng also followed them out of the hotel.
The Party School was a little boring. Chen Xing went to class on time every day. Although he thought it was meaningless, he did not dare to be late, leave early, or skip classes. He cherished this hard-won opportunity very much, and he did not want to embarrass Zhou Mingfang. Chen Xing did not know that it was the Zhang family that played a major role in his promotion this time, not Zhou Mingfang. At this sensitive time, Zhou Mingfang did not dare to promote people close to him. However, Chen Xing did not know this. He was grateful to Zhou Mingfang. He could not get promoted so quickly without Zhou Mingfang's help. Even if Chen Xing guessed that Zhou Mingfang took care of him so much because of the Zhang family, Chen Xing was still grateful to Zhou Mingfang from the bottom of his heart.
Although the days at the Party School were boring, Chen Xing also took advantage of this opportunity to make friends with some people. Those who could attend the Party School might not be promoted after they returned, but those who could make it to the Party School were cadres with more potential. In particular, Chen Xing found that the cadres in his class tended to be older. Basically, there were no cadres over 40 years old.
A young female cadre caught Chen Xing's attention. To be exact, she was not young. In fact, she was a little older than Chen Xing. Chen Xing estimated that she was in her early thirties. Perhaps because she had taken good care of herself, she still looked very young. She had the unique charm of a young married woman. Some of them appeared to be serious cadres, but in private, they often squinted their eyes and stared at Zeng Jing.
What caught Chen Xing's attention the most was not only her appearance and figure, but also her personality. There was an indescribable forthrightness and straightforwardness in her speech and behavior, without the slightest pretense or bashfulness. Her unique temperament left a good impression on Chen Xing.
Chen Xing had communicated with her before. He knew that her name was Zeng Jing. She was indeed a young married woman. Her child was already one or two years old, and she had just stopped breastfeeding for a few months. Zeng Jing was a cadre in the Public Security System of Jiang City. Chen Xing didn't know if she had any background, but she was young and a woman. She was also like a fish in water in the Public Security System. No matter what, she couldn't be a simple person.
Chen Bin was also a cadre in Jiang City. Chen Xing heard some things about Zeng Jing from him. When he learned that Zeng Jing was a cadre in the Criminal Investigation Department and was quite famous in the Public Security System of Jiang City, Chen Xing was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Zeng Jing was not wearing a police uniform, so he couldn't tell if she had a valiant and heroic temperament. However, from her appearance, no matter how he looked at her, she looked like a delicate and beautiful young married woman. It didn't look like she had a background in the Criminal Investigation Department at all.
On this day, the class was about the history of the Party. Chen Xing was a little bored. Every time he came across this kind of history of the Party, it could make people feel sleepy. Not only Chen Xing, but everyone else in the class was listlessly listening to the old professor on the stage with great interest.
Chen Xing picked up a pen and wrote something he was interested in on a piece of paper. He majored in economics and entered the Political Research Office after graduation. Basically, he didn't give full play to his specialty and neglected his studies. If it wasn't for the fact that he was writing research articles and occasionally had to write about economic issues, Chen Xing wouldn't have been able to use the knowledge he had learned in the past few years.
Although he didn't use his major after graduation, it didn't mean that Chen Xing had completely forgotten the knowledge he had studied diligently in college. Nowadays, when Chen Xing read the news about various economic hot spots in society, he would always have his own thoughts and opinions. Although he might not be able to see deeply and point out the problems, his habit of thinking had benefited him a lot. At least, he was not completely ignorant now. Especially in the past month at the Party School, Chen Xing had borrowed a lot of books on economics to read. He used class time to study and recharge himself. At the moment, Chen Xing's state was quite like that of a student who was going to the capital for an examination and was cramming for the Buddha's feet at the last minute.
Chen Xing's thoughts were now like an erupting volcano. Combining what he had seen, heard, and thought in the past few years, and revising and reading some books on economics in the past month, Chen Xing was now writing a special article on 'Technological Innovation and Industrial Transformation'. He had been preparing for this article for more than a month. After Chen Xing finished writing, he wanted to show it to his old leader, Zhou Mingfang. If possible, he wanted to publish it in the provincial party newspaper. This was Chen Xing's attempt to gain some political capital for himself. Although the effect might be minimal, he was after all working hard for his own future.
After consulting a lot of materials and reading almost all the professional books on this subject that he had borrowed, Chen Xing finally decided to start writing. It just so happened that he was about to fall asleep after reading the party history textbook. Fortunately, he started writing in class. At this moment, Chen Xing was completely in the zone of writing. His train of thought was coherent and smooth, and Chen Xing's pen did not stop at all.
Just as Chen Xing was in high spirits and his face was full of excitement, he did not even notice that his chair was slightly kicked from behind. Suddenly, the paper on the table was pulled by someone. With a 'ping' sound, the pen made a loud scratching sound on the paper, and a crack appeared on the white A4 paper.
Chen Xing was a little annoyed. Anyone who was suddenly interrupted when he was immersed in the state of writing, and was interrupted in such a rude and unwelcome way, would be a little angry.
Chen Xing raised his head to see who had interrupted his writing so rudely. When he saw clearly who the person in front of him was, Chen Xing felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. He felt a chill from head to toe, and his whole body froze.
The person in front of him was Liu Jian, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the principal of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. Behind him were the executive vice principal of the Party School, Hou Li, and several other leaders of the Party School. Looking at their posture, it seemed that they were inspecting the class.
At this moment, there was no sound at all in the huge classroom. It was completely silent. Those cadres who were usually doing well in their own organizations and were quite proud of themselves were now sitting upright and still, listening attentively to the class. Everyone's eyes were carefully looking at Chen Xing. Some were gloating, some were feeling sorry for Chen Xing. Everyone had a lucky look on their faces. Chen Xing was not the only one who was absent-minded just now. Fortunately, the others saw Liu Jian and the leaders of the Party School coming in from the back door, and they all hurriedly listened to the class attentively. Only Chen Xing was still immersed in his writing state under the reminder of the people behind him. Unfortunately, he was caught by Liu Jian.
Chen Xing's heart was in a mess. He did not know what the consequences would be if he was caught by the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee in the class. He did not know if this would affect his hard-earned promotion and training opportunity. At this moment, Liu Jian was holding the piece of paper that he had just written and looking at it silently.
"What's your name?" Liu Jian's expression gave off a solemn feeling as he stared at Chen Xing.
"Chen Xing." Chen Xing answered a little nervously.
"Do you know when the first Soviet regime of our Party was established?" Liu Jian's eyes were cold.
Chen Xing was in a daze for a while. He tried hard to recall the knowledge that he had learned in his memory. If he remembered correctly, he should have learned about the establishment of the first Soviet regime in high school. At this moment, Chen Xing tried hard to recall, hoping that he would suddenly have a flash of inspiration and recall the things that he had learned in high school more than ten years ago. At this moment, his heart was in a mess. The more he thought about it, the messier his brain became, and he could not think calmly at all. He did not dare to look at Liu Jian in the eyes. In the end, Chen Xing said bitterly, "I don't know."
"Do you think you don't need to listen in the Party History class?" Liu Jian's voice was very calm, but Chen Xing could feel the sternness in his calm voice.
Liu Jian put the paper back on Chen Xing's desk. He looked at Chen Xing with a very solemn expression. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the classroom. Several leaders of the Party School followed him out. The suffocating atmosphere in the classroom seemed to disappear suddenly. The students who had been silent just now began to whisper to each other. It was not until the old professor shouted for silence that the class gradually returned to order.
Chen Xing did not know how he spent the rest of the class. He felt like he was in a trance. The look that Liu Jian gave him before he left almost made his heart jump out of his chest. There was only one word in Chen Xing's mind: "It's over."
"Chen Xing, what happened to you just now? I even kicked your chair from behind. Why didn't you react at all?" After the class, Wu Gang went up to Chen Xing and asked anxiously.
"So you kicked my chair just now. I thought it was an earthquake, and the chair even shook." Chen Xing looked at Wu Gang gratefully, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh, I was in a state of Qi deviation at that time, so I didn't notice anything else." Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. He could only find joy in this difficult situation.
"Chen Xing, I really admire you. You are so engrossed in whatever you write." As Wu Gang said this, he curiously picked up the paper on Chen Xing's desk to take a look. At the same time, he did not forget to reprimand Chen Bin. "Chen Bin, you were sitting beside Chen Xing just now. Why didn't you remind him?"
"Old Wu, you don't know, but I didn't see Secretary Liu come in. I was talking to the government office director of the city gate district next to me. When I turned around, I saw Secretary Liu standing in front of Chen Xing. I was scared half to death, so I pretended to listen to the class and didn't have time to remind Chen Xing. I thought Secretary Liu was staring at me. Later, I found out that he was looking at Chen Xing." Chen Bin said with lingering fear. "But Chen Xing, you are really something. Secretary Liu stood beside you for a long time. At that time, my heart was in my throat, and the class was quiet. Why didn't you notice it at all?"
"Haha, I was Qi deviation. I can't help it." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He was a little absent-minded.
"Oh, by the way, Chen Xing, I have some private matters to deal with at noon, so I won't have lunch with you. I'll leave first." Chen Bin glanced at Chen Xing, and his eyes flickered. He nodded to Chen Xing and Wu Gang apologetically and walked away.
"What kind of person is he? Is he a brother?" Wu Gang's expression changed. He looked at Chen Bin's back disdainfully. In the past month, the three of them had lived in the same dormitory and had a good relationship. Chen Bin also called them brothers. Otherwise, Wu Gang wouldn't have blamed Chen Bin with such a reproachful tone just now. Unexpectedly, Chen Bin had made it clear that he wanted to distance himself from Chen Xing.
"Old Wu, forget it. Maybe he really has something urgent to deal with." Chen Xing smiled and tugged at Wu Gang.
"In the past month, I haven't seen him busy dealing with any private matters. Today, when you encountered this matter, he came to deal with it. Isn't it obvious?" Wu Gang curled his lips. As the director of the government office, he had seen all kinds of people. He could see through Chen Bin's thoughts at a glance.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. It's normal for people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You can't blame others. I was caught red-handed by Secretary Liu today, so I'm afraid I've been blacklisted."
"Life is full of ups and downs. I don't think so. Maybe in the end, a bad thing will turn into a good thing. I think Secretary Liu asked for your name. Maybe he wants to promote you. Look, the article you wrote about promoting industrial upgrading with scientific and technological innovation. I think it's written with some skill." Liu Jian comforted him with a smile.
"Old Wu, thank you." Chen Xing looked at Wu Gang with some gratitude. "A brother in adversity". Chen Xing finally experienced it personally. They lived in the same dormitory and got along with each other day and night for more than a month. At critical moments, it was easy to see who could be relied on.
"Why are you saying all this? We don't do this kind of thing between us." Wu Gang smiled. "Let's go and have a meal outside this afternoon to sweep away the bad luck."
"Alright, let's go and sweep away the bad luck." Chen Xing laughed and nodded. The sullenness in his chest was swept away. He didn't care about those troublesome things and just ate when he was supposed to.
The two of them chatted as they walked forward. Chen Xing could clearly feel that some of the people he had chatted with and would politely greet him when they bumped into each other now pretended not to see him and hurriedly walked past him. Some of the people who raised their heads and bumped into him also awkwardly nodded at him and hurriedly left.
"People nowadays are so realistic." Wu Gang sighed.
"Chen Xing, why are you in such a hurry to go out? Where are you going?" Just as Chen Xing and Wu Gang were walking out, a voice called out to Chen Xing from behind.
Chen Xing turned around and smelled a faint fragrance. The person in front of him made his eyes light up. If it wasn't Zeng Jing, who else could it be? Chen Xing was a little surprised. "Zeng Jing, it's you."
"Why? Are you surprised to see me?" Zeng Jing smiled and blinked his eyes. "Where are you and Wu Gang going?"
"Hehe, Old Wu and I are going to have a meal outside to sweep away the bad luck." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Really? Then I'm in luck for a free meal." "How about it? Count me in?" Zeng Jing said with a smile.
Chen Xing and Wu Gang looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. "This Zeng Jing is really different from ordinary people." Wu Gang nodded with a smile. "Of course it's a deal. We can't wait to have a beautiful woman to accompany us to have a meal. She's a feast for the eyes. We can't ask for more than that."
"Wu Gang, you're a little disrespectful." Zeng Jing smiled and rolled his eyes at Wu Gang.
