When the car drove out of the city and reached the intersection of the highway, Chen Xing subconsciously looked back at the road from which he came. Except for the cars roaring behind him from time to time and the dazzling lights, the dark night was a little bleak and cold, just like Chen Xing's mood at the moment.
Sighing slightly, Chen Xing withdrew his gaze and looked at the road in front of him. Although it was also dim and blurry, people always had to look forward.
The car sped along the highway. After more than four hours of travel, it was already 11 o 'clock when Chen Xing arrived at Nanzhou. He didn't choose to go to He Hi's place, nor did he go to Jiang Wan's place. Chen Xing chose to stay at the Golden Capital Hotel. During this sensitive period, Chen Xing didn't dare to have too much contact with his women in private. There was nothing wrong with being careful.
Huang Ming had returned safely. He was released yesterday evening. When he heard that Chen Xing came to stay in the hotel, Huang Ming, who was sleeping at home, rushed over. This was the first time they met after the incident. Although they had talked on the phone before, Huang Ming was still a little excited to see Chen Xing. He hugged Chen Xing tightly.
Good brother. Chen Xing patted Huang Ming hard. He knew that during the days when he was taken away, he clenched his teeth and did not say a word that was unfavorable to him.
Ah, I thought I was going to die in there. I didn't expect to come back alive. Huang Ming joked. He had indeed suffered a lot in there. Although he wasn't beaten, he couldn't stand not being able to sleep for a few days. That kind of feeling was worse than death.
This time, I am sorry. Chen Xing said apologetically.
There was no need to say such things between brothers. Huang Ming smiled indifferently. Come, let's go to my office upstairs for tea.
Huang Ming invited Chen Xing to his office on the 30th floor. This time, the two were really friends in adversity. Their friendship of more than ten years had withstood the test. Chen Xing was grateful to Huang Ming from the bottom of his heart.
The Golden Capital Hotel was 32 stories high. Although it couldn't be considered as a crane among chickens in a flock of high-rise buildings in Nanzhou, it won in a good geographical location. The view was very wide. Standing on the 30th floor, one could see the bustling provincial capital city in a single glance.
At this time last year, you were still the mayor of Nanzhou. I didn't expect that at this time this year, you would … Huang Ming saw Chen Xing standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought. He also walked over, but in the end, he promptly closed his mouth for fear of arousing Chen Xing's sadness.
Now that he was free, he could relax a little. Chen Xing smiled. If I hadn't resigned, I wouldn't have the time to sit here and drink tea with you.
That's true. At most, you can go into business. Anyway, I'll keep my shares for you. Come over, let's work hard together. Who knows, maybe in ten years, our names will be on Forbes. Huang Ming chuckled. It was obvious that he was dreaming.
I'm not made for business, so I won't drag you down. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He was determined to have an official career. Now it was just a temporary setback. Although it was a bit of a blow, it didn't affect his morale. He was still full of confidence and thought that he could achieve great things in the future.
Chen Xing, where will you be transferred after you resign this time? Huang Ming asked curiously. He also knew that it was impossible for Chen Xing to leave the officialdom. After all, after Chen Xing resigned, his rank was still there. He was an official at the level of the main hall, and he had been the leader of a prefectural city. If the higher-ups transferred him to a new position, it might be another important position.
For the time being, it was not clear. Chen Xing shook his head. I can use this time to accompany my wife and children. I'm not very qualified as a husband and a father.
I can't take care of work and family. This can't be helped. Hearing this, Huang Ming smiled bitterly. Little Jing and I are both career types. She is also wholeheartedly devoted to the development and expansion of the hotel, so we don't dare to have children until now.
You're not young anymore. It's time to have children. Chen Xing said with a smile.
I do want to have children, but the problem is that it's not up to us to decide. If a woman doesn't have children, I can't have children either. Huang Ming shook his head and smiled.
They talked about everything, from work to life, from business to officialdom, and from the present to the time when they were studying. Chen Xing and Huang Ming had forgotten that it was several years ago that they could sit down and chat so freely. Since Chen Xing became Zhou Mingfang's secretary, he had been busy. Even though they often had the opportunity to sit down and chat, they were inevitably disturbed by various phone calls. There were not many opportunities like this where they could chat to their heart's content without being disturbed.
It was not until 12 o 'clock in the evening that the two left reluctantly. Huang Ming went home to sleep, and Chen Xing decided to stay in the hotel tonight. Before Huang Ming left, he didn't forget to send Chen Xing to the airport tomorrow to take a plane, so that Chen Xing wouldn't run away alone again.
After a quiet night, Chen Xing got up early the next day. He was used to getting up early. Unless he stayed up late the night before, his biological clock always woke him up at around six o 'clock the next day. Chen Xing originally wanted to go back to sleep, but in the end, he still got up. Looking at the sun outside the window, Chen Xing wanted to go out for a walk before leaving Nanzhou.
At around six o 'clock in the morning, the sun had just climbed up the mountain. There were occasionally pedestrians on the street. Most of them were morning exercise enthusiasts running on the street, or old people and women who got up early to go to the vegetable market.
Walking along the street next to the Jindu Hotel, which was also in the central and prosperous area of Nanzhou, there were several office addresses of organs and departments directly under the provincial government across the street. Chen Xing walked slowly on the street. He had been working in Nanzhou for almost a year. Only now did Chen Xing realize that he had never properly appreciated the beauty of Nanzhou in the morning.
Looking at the people running on the street in the morning, Chen Xing suddenly thought of the scene of him running with Gu Panman in the morning. The scene was still vivid in his mind. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that he would leave Mountain Gaze now? And this time, he left in a very low-key manner. He didn't let anyone see him off, nor did he say goodbye to anyone. Except for a few people like Chang Shengjun who knew that he was going to leave last night, most of the cadres in the city didn't know that he had left.
Chen Xing only left a farewell letter on the table in the office. The letter was for the secretary general of the Municipal Party Committee, Wu Ning. This was a farewell letter to the main leading cadres in the city. After reading it, Wu Ning would naturally pass it on to the others.
"Damn it. Nowadays, good people don't live long, while scourges live for a thousand years." As he walked, Chen Xing suddenly cursed. When he thought of Qian Xinlai, the anger in his heart suddenly rose. This time, he had to admit that when the capital reached a certain level, it was indeed a power that could not be ignored. Although his resignation this time was mainly because the Lin family was preparing to shoot arrows at the Zhang family in the back, the trouble that Qian Xinlai had caused him was enough to give him a headache.
Walking aimlessly, Chen Xing didn't know where he was going. His flight was more than 10 o 'clock in the morning, and it was less than 20 minutes from the city to the airport, so there was no need to be in a hurry. He came out early in the morning to relax, so he had plenty of time to wander. Chen Xing was quite familiar with the urban area of Nanzhou, but at this time, he didn't know where to go.
"Chen Xing?"
An abrupt, slightly surprised and puzzled voice sounded opposite to Chen Xing, which also woke up the absent-minded Chen Xing.
