Xu Nanjiang was wearing gray sportswear. He was panting slightly, and his face was sweating. Obviously, Xu Nanjiang had also come out for a jog.
After a brief moment of shock, Chen Xing also reacted and took a step forward. Secretary Xu.
Chen Xing was respectful, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected to run into Xu Nanjiang jogging in the morning.
Xu Nanjiang nodded slightly and glanced at Chen Xing inquiringly. What are you doing?
I left Mountain Gaze last night and arrived in Nanzhou at 11 o 'clock, so I stayed in Nanzhou for the night. My flight was more than 10 o' clock in the morning. I had nothing to do in the morning, and I wasn't in a hurry to catch the plane, so I wanted to go out for a walk. Chen Xing knew what Xu Nanjiang wanted to ask, so he explained.
Hearing this, Xu Nanjiang nodded in relief. He was wondering why Chen Xing appeared on the streets of Nanzhou so early in the morning. It turned out to be like this.
I remember that you also served in Nanzhou? Xu Nanjiang looked at Chen Xing. In fact, he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Before he was transferred to Mountain Gaze, he had worked in Nanzhou for almost a year. Chen Xing nodded and said.
At that time, he was the mayor, right? Xu Nanjiang's gaze swept across Chen Xing's face. He walked forward and pointed to the surroundings. What do you think of the appearance of Nanzhou?
Fortunately. Chen Xing followed Xu Nanjiang's footsteps. Xu Nanjiang's question made his heart skip a beat, and he didn't dare to answer carelessly.
Many citizens wrote to report that there was a lot of demolition and construction in Nanzhou, and dust was flying all day long. The people were very complaining about this. What do you think?
Secretary Xu, I'm afraid I don't have much say in this. After all, I've been away from Nanzhou for some time, and I really don't know much about the current situation in Nanzhou. Chen Xing smiled euphemistically.
Xu Nanjiang looked at Chen Xing calmly and smiled slightly, so that no one could tell what he was thinking. Soon, he changed the topic. Are you going back to the capital directly today?
Yes, back to the capital. Chen Xing nodded.
The two of them walked along the street. Xu Nanjiang was quite talkative, but Chen Xing was cautious in his words and actions. Chen Xing didn't have much contact with Xu Nanjiang, so he didn't dare to talk too much in front of Xu Nanjiang. It was especially important to remember in the officialdom that the more one spoke, the more mistakes one made.
After walking for a long time, Chen Xing quietly raised his hand to look at the time. It was almost eight o 'clock. Why wasn't Xu Nanjiang back yet? The more he chatted with him, the more excited he became. To be exact, Xu Nanjiang was the one speaking most of the time, and he was just a qualified listener.
You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Come, let's go have breakfast together. Xu Nanjiang suddenly patted Chen Xing's shoulder and smiled.
Chen Xing was slightly taken aback, but soon after, he nodded his head. Xu Nanjiang's approachable and easygoing attitude had indeed surprised him. However, when he thought about how he didn't really understand Xu Nanjiang, he guessed that Xu Nanjiang was usually like this.
What happened next surprised Chen Xing even more. At this time, there was a Yonghe Soybean Milk chain store on the side of the road. The decoration was quite exquisite. Chen Xing thought that Xu Nanjiang wanted to go in for breakfast when he saw it. Unexpectedly, he didn't. Xu Nanjiang walked dozens of meters forward. There was a stall directly selling breakfast in the open air. It sold porridge, steamed buns, and a few stir-fried vegetables. It seemed that the food was cooked at home and brought out for sale. There was no heat at all.
There were a few simple low tables and low stools next to the breakfast place for people who didn't want to take their food with them. It was close to the road. Cars came and went on the road, so they had to eat a lot of car exhaust. Chen Xing didn't expect that Xu Nanjiang would choose to eat at such a roadside stall. There was still a strong surprise in his eyes. Among the people coming and going, who would think that a man in his 50s sitting casually was the dignified leader of the South Sea? In the eyes of ordinary people, those high-ranking officials were all high and mighty.
Xu Nanjiang ordered a pickled cabbage and a steamed bun. He signaled Chen Xing to order by himself. Then he walked to the side and sat down at an empty low table.
Chen Xing ordered a cauliflower and stir-fried peanuts. As soon as he walked over and sat down, the landlady had already warmly brought the dishes and two bowls of porridge they ordered.
These dishes were all cold. Chen Xing ate a mouthful of cauliflower and said with a smile.
This kind of street stall couldn't be compared to the one in the store. There was no way to keep it warm. The dishes would get cold in a while, so they had to make do with it. Xu Nanjiang smiled indifferently. "The ancestors of our party have even eaten tree roots and wild vegetables. We can still drink warm white rice porridge and eat some dishes we want to eat. It's enough. Many of our cadres now lack the spirit of hardworking. They are used to living a comfortable life and have forgotten the revolutionary tradition of the older generation."
When Chen Xing heard Xu Nanjiang's words, his heart trembled. He quietly glanced at Xu Nanjiang. He didn't know if Xu Nanjiang had said it casually or if there was a hidden meaning. At this moment, he didn't dare to speak casually and just lowered his head to eat.
Chen Xing didn't want to say much because he was cautious, but Xu Nanjiang didn't let him stay silent. He suddenly changed the topic and suddenly said, "I've been in office for more than three months. Although I've only had time to go to a few prefectures and haven't had time to inspect Mount Wang, I've heard about the situation in Mount Wang. Chen Xing, tell me what problems there are in Mount Wang.
"Secretary Xu, what do you want to know?" Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at Xu Nanjiang.
"You need to know everything. Before Comrade Jianming left, he talked to me about the situation in Mount Wang, but he didn't say much. I think you've just left Mount Wang, so you should know the situation there." Xu Nanjiang smiled calmly.
"I know some things about Mount Wang, but I don't have the ability to know everything." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly. It turned out that Ge Jian-ming had talked about Mount Wang with Xu Nanjiang before he was transferred from the South Sea. No wonder Xu Nanjiang asked about it. However, Ge Jian-ming didn't mention it to him. Maybe Ge Jian-ming wasn't sure what Xu Nanjiang's attitude would be, so he didn't tell him. Chen Xing thought to himself.
"Then tell me what you know." Xu Nanjiang smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Xing frowned slightly, wondering where to start.
"There are no superiors and subordinates here. Just treat it as a chat with a friend and say whatever you want." Xu Nanjiang thought that Chen Xing had some scruples, so he said it again. From the short time they had spent together, Chen Xing had already left an impression on him that he was cautious. Xu Nanjiang couldn't help but sigh. Most of the young people who had entered this system had lost their spirit, which was a kind of tragedy.
