Without avoiding Chang Shengjun, Chen Xing picked up the phone directly. Xu Bin called him. Chen Xing didn't have to think to know that it was to see him off.
Secretary Chen, are you leaving now? On the phone, Xu Bin's voice didn't have much joy after being promoted at the moment.
His things were packed and he was about to leave. Chen Xing smiled.
It was a pity that he couldn't see Secretary Chen off. Xu Bin said helplessly. It was not that he didn't want to see Chen Xing off, but Chen Xing specifically told him not to go. At first, he didn't understand. After listening to Chen Xing's explanation, although Xu Bin thought that Chen Xing was a little too cautious, he had to admit that Chen Xing was right to be cautious.
"There's no regret. There will be opportunities to meet in the future. Don't be as sentimental as Sheng Jun." Chen Xing smiled. "I chose to leave at night because I didn't want anyone to see me off."
"Secretary Chen, what you did made those people think that you left in disgrace, which made them more arrogant." Xu Bin said.
"I left in disgrace. If others want to be happy, let them be happy." Chen Xing said indifferently.
Xu Bin listened to Chen Xing's words and couldn't say anything else to comfort him at this time. He knew that Chen Xing didn't need others to comfort him.
After a moment of silence, Xu Bin solemnly said goodbye. "Secretary Chen, I wish you a pleasant journey!"
"Okay, thank you." Chen Xing nodded.
The two didn't say anything more. After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing turned to Chang Shengjun and said with a smile, "Xu Bin said early that he would see me off. I told him not to come."
"Why?" Chang Shengjun was surprised.
Chen Xing smiled upon hearing Chang Shengjun's words. He didn't respond to Chang Shengjun's question, but glanced outside the door. The smart Chang Shengjun quickly understood. Secretary, are you afraid of being monitored?
No one knows that Xu Bin and I are close. Although the personnel change this time made people suspicious because you were promoted to the bureau chief, those people only suspected it. They definitely didn't think that Xu Bin was also related to me. Chen Xing smiled.
Oh, I understand your concern, Secretary. Chang Shengjun nodded. To put it bluntly, Chen Xing didn't want Xu Bin to be "exposed". If Chen Xing really had someone secretly watching him, then Xu Bin's coming to see Chen Xing off would obviously attract others' attention. In addition, the personnel transfer this time involved Xu Bin, which was even more suspicious.
Alright, I have to get ready to go. Sheng Jun, do your best. I have faith in you. Chen Xing picked up the luggage on the sofa and said with a smile.
"Secretary, your words make me feel more stressed." Chang Shengjun grinned and said. He hurried over to help Chen Xing with the luggage.
A few simple bags of luggage were carried into the car. Chen Xing was ready to get in the car and also signaled to Chang Shengjun that he didn't need to see him off.
"Secretary, have the higher-ups decided where you will be transferred?" Chang Shengjun helped Chen Xing open the car door and asked one last question.
"I don't know where I will be transferred to. Now I have really become a lonely ghost and unemployed vagrant." Chen Xing joked. "But this is also good. After working for so many years, I can take a good rest for a while.
It's good to have a good rest. " Chang Shengjun nodded and didn't continue this topic. Just now, he was concerned about Chen Xing's whereabouts, but he immediately felt that it was inappropriate to ask that question. This time, Chen Xing resigned. To put it bluntly, it could be said that he "took the blame and resigned". Therefore, even if he had the connections of the Zhang family behind him and Chen Xing could quickly climb up, it was estimated that he would cool down for a period of time before he could be used in an important position again. In the following days, it was likely that Chen Xing would be in a period of silence, and his future might be relatively uncertain. So it was somewhat inappropriate for him to ask that question.
"Sheng Jun, that's all for now. See you later." Chen Xing got into the car and waved goodbye to Chang Shenjun before he closed the door. He had a carefree smile on his face. Even though he was leaving as a loser, he did not want to leave as a loser.
"Secretary, when your new job is settled, I will go to have a drink with you." Chang Shengjun said with a smile.
"Okay, you are welcome." Chen Xing nodded and gestured to the driver in front to start the car.
The car started slowly, and Chen Xing's eyes fell on the villa where he lived. He had lived for more than eight months, and he was not reluctant to leave. However, he suddenly had to leave, and he felt inexplicably sad. He had thought that he would stay in Mountain Gaze for at least a few years, but he didn't expect that he would leave in this way in such a short time. As the saying went, the world was unpredictable, and nine out of ten things in life would not go one's way. However, compared with others, Chen Xing knew that he was lucky enough and didn't have too many twists and turns.
As the car moved forward, Chen Xing's eyes also moved. The place where Xiang Xiurong lived also came into view. At this moment, it was empty, and the lights were dim. Xiang Xiurong had left one day in advance.
It was Chen Xing who had asked Xiang Xiurong to leave. He had resigned, so it was meaningless for Xiang Xiurong to continue living in the guest house. Moreover, his resignation and departure meant that the investigation of Qian Xinlai had ended, at least on the surface. Xiang Xiurong's safety was basically not a problem. In addition, he had also made arrangements to send a message to Qian Xinlai. If anything happened to Xiang Xiurong, he would blame it on Qian Xinlai, which could be regarded as an indirect warning to Qian Xinlai. Chen Xing believed that Qian Xinlai would not dare to act recklessly, because if he left Mountain Gaze, there was no need for Qian Xinlai to take that kind of risk again.
The car finally drove slowly out of the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. Looking at the grass and trees on both sides of the street, Chen Xing pursed his lips slightly. He knew that after leaving this time, he would never be able to work in Mountain Gaze again in the future. The familiar scenery on the street made him sigh. Leaving Mountain Gaze in this mood at this moment, Chen Xing's heart was only filled with unwillingness!
Perhaps he would go to Mountain Gaze again in the future, but he didn't know what it would be like at that time.
With a silent sigh, Chen Xing withdrew his gaze. This departure was really a failure.
The Xincheng Hotel was still a scene of singing and dancing. Compared with the past, it was even livelier. Qian Xinlai and the others exchanged toasts and laughed.
In the Municipal Government Building, Mayor Li Kaishan stood in front of the window of his office and looked at the continuous flow of people downstairs. He stood there for a long time. He was seeing Chen Xing off. He didn't know if Chen Xing's car had already left the street of Mountain Gaze, so he could only see Chen Xing off in this way.
Li Kaishan now understood what Chen Xing had said to him on the day he resigned. Chen Xing had left, but he had also left a backup plan. Li Kaishan didn't expect that Xu Bin would be the person chosen by Chen Xing. This surprised him, but it also gave him confidence. For the first time, he saw hope in this personnel transfer. Li Kaishan didn't know how Chen Xing had the ability to push through these personnel appointments so quickly. Perhaps it was at the cost of Chen Xing's resignation. But no matter which possibility it was, Li Kaishan knew that he had to be ruthless this time.
"Chen Xing, take care." Li Kaishan muttered to himself.
This was his final farewell to Chen Xing.
