Second Uncle, why do you suddenly want me to go to the Inspection Team? I have never worked in the discipline inspection system before. Chen Xing sat down, still unable to hide the surprise on his face.
Not working in the discipline inspection system doesn't mean you can't go there. According to your idea, many leaders will be laid off. Look at those mayors, how many of them studied economics? How many of the Public Security Bureau Directors graduated from the police academy? How many of the Judicial Bureau Directors graduated from law? Zhang Guozhong smiled. Besides, it's a good transition for you to go to the Inspection Team.
Hearing this, Chen Xing fell silent. This was an arrangement that he had never thought of. Of course, it wasn't confirmed yet. But since Zhang Guozhong asked for his opinion, Chen Xing knew that he didn't have much power to make the decision.
Well, I have already mentioned this to Guohua, and he is probably considering it. Zhang Guozhong said again.
Second Uncle, if you have all made a decision, I'm afraid I don't have a choice. Chen Xing shrugged.
It's not decided yet, so I asked for your opinion. Zhang Guozhong smiled.
Anyway, I'm just following the arrangement. I have no other thoughts. Chen Xing smiled.
Good boy, you're still trying to be sly in front of me. Zhang Guozhong smiled and pointed at Chen Xing. If he had no other thoughts, it meant that he had one. Why? Are you unhappy that your path has to be arranged?
No, in the system, who doesn't have a choice? Everyone's appointment needs to be arranged by the organization. Compared to most of my acquaintances, I'm already very lucky. Chen Xing smiled.
They chatted happily with Zhang Guozhong until it was past seven by the time they finished dinner. Zhang Yi didn't come over in the evening. Nobody knew where he went. Chen Xing didn't leave Zhang Guozhong's residence until nine o 'clock. After dinner, they chatted for a long time. Although Chen Xing would joke with Zhang Guozhong from time to time, he respected him from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Guozhong was open-minded, free and easy. He didn't care much about fame and money. Chen Xing admired his aloof attitude towards life. Not everyone could reach this level. No wonder Zhang Guozhong didn't choose to enter the system even though he was blessed by the heavens.
The capital city was bustling and noisy at night. There were too many people pursuing their dreams in this overpopulated metropolis.
Chen Xing walked alone on the road, enjoying the night breeze. His mind calmed down a little. Thinking of the conversation with Zhang Guozhong, Chen Xing gained some insight into life. In this life, be it fame, fortune, or power or money, they were all things that couldn't be brought along with one's life. However, how many people were so obsessed with these things that they couldn't extricate themselves?
Chen Xing knew that he hadn't reached the state where he had no desires. Now, he was obsessed with fame and power. He had his own views. If one didn't have any aspirations in this life, what was the point of living?
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, Chen Xing began his relatively leisurely and slightly busy days.
Leisurely days were because Chen Xing was no longer an official and had no work to do. He didn't have to be busy all day long like before. Busy days were because Chen Xing wanted to use these two days to visit some of his old friends, colleagues, and leaders in the capital city.
Because he had worked in the Ministry of Finance and worked in the local government, every time he came to the capital city to work, he had to trouble a lot of people. Therefore, there were indeed a few people he needed to visit.
Other people were getting older year by year, but Director Chen was getting younger and younger. If you have any secrets to reverse your growth, please tell me. In a teahouse not far from the Ministry of Finance, when Chen Xing saw Chen Danying, he secretly praised her in his heart. Chen Danying had been the director of the Department of Higher Education for nearly two years. She had become less arrogant and more gentle.
Comrade Chen Xing was still humorous. Chen Danying glanced at Chen Xing with a smile. She knew something about Chen Xing. She knew that Chen Xing was unemployed now, so she didn't call him "Secretary Chen", so as not to make Chen Xing sad.
Director Chen, you are wrong. We have worked together for almost a year. Have you ever found that I am humorous? Chen Xing said with a smile.
Indeed not. On the contrary, I feel that you are quite rigid. Chen Danying pursed her lips and smiled.
That's right. I was not humorous just now. I was telling the truth. Director Chen is indeed getting younger and younger.
She is almost 40 years old. How can she talk about being young?
Chen Danying's face was full of smiles. Any woman liked to be praised as young, and she was no exception. Although she said so, she was actually very happy in her heart. She glanced at Chen Xing and asked in a seemingly casual manner, "Did you specially invite me out for tea today?"
What else? I don't have a job now. I didn't invite you out for official business. Chen Xing said with a smile. He had vaguely heard that Chen Danying would be one of the candidates for deputy minister in the future, so he was also willing to actively maintain a good relationship between them. The relationship between people was getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
He chatted with Chen Danying and laughed. They were no longer competitors, and there would be no conflict of interest. Naturally, they would not be on guard against each other. Compared with the scene of working together in the past, the atmosphere now was more relaxed.
Talking about the past, both of them sighed. The former director, Wang Rongyan, was now the assistant of the governor, and Chen Danying had replaced him. Chen Xing had also become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Although he had resigned, his rank was still there … The three of them were not in the same department, but they all had their own development and different destinies.
I heard that Lin Yupei is doing well in Nanzhou. She will be nominated for deputy mayor soon? Chen Danying suddenly said.
I'm not sure about that. I've been away from Nanzhou for almost a year, and I don't know much about the situation in Nanzhou. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He looked at Chen Danying with some surprise. He did not believe that Chen Danying had accidentally heard this news. She must have been paying attention to Lin Yupei all this time to know so clearly.
His eyes swept over Chen Danying without batting an eyelid. Chen Xing thought to himself that it was indeed easier for two women to become enemies. When he was in the department, he more or less knew a little about the secret competition between Lin Yupei and Chen Danying. In the end, it ended with Wang Rongyan being pushed out of the department and Chen Danying successfully being promoted. As for Lin Yupei, she had no choice but to find a way to leave the Department of Higher Education because she had lost her backer, Wang Rongyan. Now that Lin Yupei was no longer in the department, Chen Danying was still secretly competing with her. It had to be said that women could sometimes be quite narrow-minded.
As the two were chatting, the quarrel coming from downstairs quickly attracted their attention. Because the two were in a private room on the second floor facing the street, and the teahouse was close to the roadside, they could clearly see the situation downstairs.
At first, Chen Xing only took a casual glance, but soon he was stunned. The man and woman downstairs were none other than Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming, whom he had just met at the Capital University yesterday.
He wondered why the two were here, but it seemed that the two of them had collided with someone else's car on their bicycle. They were now arguing, and he did not know who was in the right and who was in the wrong.
Why, do you know the people downstairs? Chen Danying saw the strange look in Chen Xing's eyes and asked.
They were two classmates he had just met yesterday. Chen Xing smiled.
Well, let's go down and have a look. It just so happens that I have something to do later, so I have to go now. Chen Danying said.
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Director Chen had specially taken the time to come out today. He really gave me a lot of face.
Chen Xing, look at your words, you're treating me like an outsider. Chen Danying shook her head and smiled.
The two came out of the teahouse. Because Chen Danying really had something to do, she was not in the mood to stay and watch the fun. After saying goodbye to Chen Xing, she left. In fact, if Chen Xing hadn't asked her out today, she wouldn't have come out. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she really wanted to chat with Chen Xing.
The bicycle that Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming rode hit a Porsche Cayenne. To be exact, it was Xu Qingxuan who hit it. Chen Xing saw that Xu Qingxuan's arm was abraded, which should have been caused by the fall. Jiang Wenming, on the other hand, was fine. At this moment, Jiang Wenming was arguing with the owner of the car, and both sides were blaming each other.
Chen Xing had a good impression of Xu Qingxuan yesterday. At this time, he walked forward and asked with concern, "Qingxuan, are you okay?"
Hey, Chen Xing, it's you? Xu Qingxuan saw Chen Xing and said in surprise.
Isn't it me? I didn't expect to meet you here today. Chen Xing smiled.
Wenming and I went to the Ministry of Higher Education to apply for a national economic forum for postgraduates, but we didn't expect to bump into this car at the intersection. Xu Qingxuan smiled bitterly. She was the backbone of the Student Union, and she usually actively participated in and organized all kinds of activities. This time, she organized the event with the approval of the department leaders, and they were asked to send funds to the Ministry of Higher Education. Because it wasn't far from the school, the two of them came out on bicycles, but no one expected such an incident.
While Xu Qingxuan was talking to Chen Xing, Jiang Wenming was arguing with the owner of the car in order to defend Xu Qingxuan. When he turned around and saw Chen Xing, his anger flared up even more. Why is it you again? Are you haunting me or something? I see you everywhere I go.
Wenming, how can you say that? He's also our classmate, a student that Teacher Liu just accepted. Xu Qingxuan looked at Jiang Wenming with dissatisfaction.
Jiang Wenming pursed his lips after being scolded by Xu Qingxuan, but he didn't say anything. However, he still shot an angry glance at Chen Xing before turning to Xu Qingxuan. Qingxuan, I think we should call the police. There's nothing to talk to such an unreasonable person.
Tsk, stinking brat, if you dare to run your mouth again, I'll beat you up! When the owner of the Cayenne heard Jiang Wenming's words, he glared at him and took a menacing step forward. Jiang Wenming was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Despite his harsh words, he didn't have the guts to pick a fight with someone. All he had was his mouth.
The moment Jiang Wenming took a step back, the owner of the Cayenne noticed Chen Xing, who was standing beside him. His triangular eyes widened even further. Just a moment ago, he had been so aggressive, but now, he was terrified. His expression changed faster than a child's as he squeezed out a smile. Yo, Brother Chen, why are you here?
Chen Xing was taken aback. He looked to his left and right, and when he saw that the owner of the car was staring at him, he frowned. Are you talking to me?
Of course I'm talking to you, Brother Chen. You might not know me, but I'm a follower of Brother Zhongwei. I've seen you twice, but I'm sure you didn't notice me. The young man said with a face full of smiles. His house was considered an old local house. Because of the demolition, they had lost a large sum of money. For people like him who got rich overnight, they didn't know how to spend their money. As for the young man, he didn't know how to spend his money. After he became rich, other than asking his parents for money to buy a good car to show off, he also followed some local gangsters and fooled around. He had met Chen Xing twice when he was with Chen Zhongwei. The first time was when Chen Xing called the Chief of the Western District Branch. This made the young man, who didn't even know how to make a name for himself, treat Chen Xing like a god. Now, he didn't dare to do anything to Chen Xing.
The young man was very respectful in front of Chen Xing. When he saw that Chen Xing knew Xu Qingxuan and Jiang Wenming, he immediately said, "Brother Chen, these two are your friends, right? Let's forget about today's matter. I'll take my car to be repaired myself. Look, I'm not trying to frame them. The left side of my car was hit by their mountain bike, and some paint has been chipped off.
Even if you take your own car to be repaired, it's just insurance. You don't have to spend your own money. You just asked us to pay you 5,000 yuan. You're obviously ripping us off. " Jiang Wenming muttered in a low voice.
Hey, kid. The young man pointed at Jiang Wenming and clenched his fist. However, when he saw Chen Xing, he immediately lost his temper. He nodded and bowed to Jiang Wenming, smiled, and drove away.
Chen Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly as he watched the young man drive away. He hadn't contacted Chen Zhongwei for a long time. After all, Chen Zhongwei was a nobody in society. It wasn't good for Chen Xing to maintain a close relationship with him. He didn't expect that today's matter would have such a dramatic ending.
