Chen Xing and Lu Ming agreed to meet at Jindu Hotel. He arrived at the hotel early and waited for Lu Ming's arrival in the original room.
Lu Xiaojing heard Chen Xing's arrival and immediately rushed over. In the room, Lu Xiaojing, who hadn't slept for two nights, sat next to Chen Xing with bloodshot eyes. Lu Xiaojing's character didn't allow her to complain like a resentful woman. She just looked at Chen Xing and said, "Secretary Chen, tell me the truth. Is Huang Ming okay or not? I don't want to hear any prevarication. Yesterday, the bureau called me, and I heard something strange from his words. I knew he didn't tell me the truth. No matter how I asked him, he wouldn't tell me. He even asked me not to call you, saying that you care more about Huang Ming's situation than anyone else.
Lu Xiaojing said to herself, "I know that Secretary Chen is a busy man, and I believe that your friendship with Huang Ming for more than ten years is not comparable to that of ordinary people, so I didn't bother Secretary Chen anymore. Now I just want to hear the truth. Even if the result is bad, please tell me, Secretary Chen."
"Miss Lu, you think too much. Huang Ming will be fine. Maybe he will come out in one or two days." Chen Xing smiled helplessly. "Don't think too much."
"Secretary Chen, is what you said true?" Lu Xiaojing's spirit was refreshed. She hadn't slept for two days and two nights. When she heard Chen Xing's words, her eyes lit up, and she became more energetic.
"Really, Huang Ming will be fine. If he doesn't come back in one or two days, I will try to make him come back." Chen Xing nodded. He was thinking about submitting his resignation letter to the provincial government, and there should be a response from the provincial government soon. As for what happened after that, he didn't need to worry about it. His father-in-law had already made arrangements. As long as the news got out, Chen Xing believed that Huang Ming would return soon. If they couldn't find anything, Huang Ming wouldn't be of much value to them anymore.
"Okay, then I will wait for the good news." Lu Xiaojing's eyes were slightly red. Although she was strong, she was still very emotional at this time.
While the two were talking, the door of the private room rang twice. Someone pushed the door open and came in. It was Lu Ming. Seeing that Lu Xiaojing was also there, Lu Ming nodded to her in greeting. Then he looked at Chen Xing, unable to conceal the concern in his eyes. Secretary, why did you come to Nanzhou today?
He came to hand in his resignation. Chen Xing smiled. In the face of Lu Ming, his old buddy from Xi Men, Chen Xing did not hide anything. As for Lu Xiaojing, she was not an outsider. Moreover, Lu Xiaojing was not a member of the system, so Chen Xing did not hide anything.
Resignation … resignation? Lu Ming stuttered. He looked at Chen Xing with shock and disbelief. Lu Ming thought he had misheard. Secretary, what kind of resignation did you submit? It should not be yours, right?
It is mine. Today I came to hand in my resignation letter to the Nanjiang Secretary. But the Nanjiang Secretary is not here, so I asked the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee to deliver it. Chen Xing smiled.
Secretary, why? Is it because of the uproar on the Internet between your secretary and the driver these two days? Lu Ming's eyes widened. Chen Xing's resignation was so sudden that Lu Ming could not accept it for a while.
Yes, but also not. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. The reason was very complicated.
"No matter what the reason is, Secretary, you don't have to do this. Even if it has a little to do with your secretary and the driver, their problem has nothing to do with you." Lu Ming said excitedly.
As I said, the reason behind this is very complicated, and I can't explain it in a short time. But no matter what, as my personal staff, they all had problems. As their leader, I can't escape the blame. I didn't educate the people around me well. Chen Xing smiled faintly. In front of others, he could only pretend to be relieved.
Seeing that Lu Ming was worried for him, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Lu Ming, you don't have to worry. This resignation is not necessarily a bad thing for me. I am still young, and I don't know what will happen in the future. But as the old saying goes, where there is life, there is hope. A moment of pride and disappointment is nothing."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Lu Ming smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say. He had also been in the system for nearly 20 years. From Chen Xing's simple words, Lu Ming keenly sensed something. He didn't know what level of struggle was involved here, but unless it was necessary, Chen Xing would not take this step. Judging from the fact that Huang Ming was taken away by that department, the level involved in this matter was probably far beyond his imagination. Even Chen Xing couldn't do anything about it. What could he, a nobody who relied on Chen Xing to get to where he was today?
"Secretary, what about Huang Ming?" Lu Ming glanced at Lu Xiaojing and couldn't help but ask.
"Huang Ming will be fine. If the news of my resignation is spread, Huang Ming will be even more fine. He will come back soon." Chen Xing said.
Hearing this, Lu Ming nodded subconsciously and didn't know what to say. Chen Xing's words once again confirmed his guess, but at this time, what could he say? In the eyes of ordinary people, he was also a person with great power. But in the eyes of the higher-ups, he was just an insignificant nobody.
While Chen Xing and Lu Ming were talking, in the province, Xu Nanjiang returned to the province more than half an hour after Chen Xing left. Before he got off work, Cao Xinming, the deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, saw that Xu Nanjiang was relatively free, so he handed Chen Xing's letter to Xu Nanjiang's office.
Cao Xinming didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood and waited for Xu Nanjiang's other instructions. In fact, he was also quite curious about what kind of letter Chen Xing handed to Xu Nanjiang. Chen Xing was the leader of a prefectural city. He could report anything to Xu Nanjiang face to face. It was really strange for him to use such an old-fashioned method like writing a letter.
Xu Nanjiang opened the letter and glanced at it. He frowned slightly and looked up at Cao Xinming. "Xinming, do you know what letter Chen Xing wrote?
Secretary Xu, I don't know. Chen Xing said it was for you, so I didn't dare to open it carelessly. Moreover, Chen Xing didn't say it just now. He just asked me to hand it to you. I thought it was a piece of cake, so I didn't refuse. " Cao Xinming replied.
Hearing this, Xu Nanjiang didn't ask anything else. He lowered his head to read the contents of the letter.
After reading the letter, Xu Nanjiang frowned. No one knew what he was thinking. After a while, Xu Nanjiang waved to Cao Xinming, indicating that he should leave first.
Soon, only Xu Nanjiang was left in the office.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Nanjiang finally took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Guohua's number. He didn't have a deep friendship with Zhang Guohua, but they had worked together for a short time. That was when he was in his thirties as a researcher in the ministry. Now, more than 20 years had passed. He was nearly 60 years old, but now he was only a provincial governor. However, Zhang Guohua, who was several years younger than him, had surpassed him. However, there was no comparison between the two. Zhang Guohua was trained by the Zhang family. His foundation and background were there. It was not worthwhile for Xu Nanjiang to compare with him.
