"Well done, Chen Xing, you've really hidden yourself well." Wu Gang punched him lightly with a smile, but his eyes were still full of surprise. He had never thought that Chen Xing would be Zhou Mingfang's secretary.
"Old Wu, you can't blame me for this. You didn't ask, of course, I didn't tell you." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.
Wu Gang nodded. At this time, he thought of Chen Bin and said with a smile, "If Chen Bin knew that you were actually Minister Zhou Mingfang's secretary, I wonder if he would regret it to death."
"People with different principles cannot make plans together. Let's not talk about him."
"Okay,
Let's not talk about him. " Wu Gang nodded with a smile.
The next day, Chen Xing arrived at the classroom early. Zeng Jing usually arrived a few minutes earlier. As expected, when Chen Xing arrived, Zeng Jing was already in the classroom. Before the class started, Chen Xing grabbed Zeng Jing and asked, "Zeng Jing, do you know anyone from the provincial party newspaper?"
"Provincial party newspaper?" Zeng Jing frowned. "I don't know anyone from the provincial party newspaper, but I do know a friend from Jiangcheng Daily Newspaper. Let me ask her for you. It's easier to get in touch with people in the same industry. She may know someone."
"That's fine. Thank you, Zeng Jing."
"Chen Xing, you're still so polite." Zeng Jing looked at Chen Xing helplessly and said with a smile.
Chen Xing smiled and said nothing. Zeng Jing agreed to help without asking what he needed. He treated people sincerely from the bottom of his heart, which was completely different from Chen Bin's enthusiasm. Chen Xing sighed with emotion. "Why is there such a big gap between people?"
Chen Xing didn't expect Zeng Jing to be so efficient. At noon, when he was about to leave the classroom for lunch, Zeng Jing stopped him. "Chen Xing, my friend knows an editor from the provincial party newspaper. She helped to make an appointment at noon. Do you want to meet her now?"
"Okay, okay, let's go now. I'm asking for help, so I can't put on airs." Chen Xing smiled.
Chen Xingxing and Zeng Jing took a taxi to a western restaurant in the city. After entering the restaurant, Zeng Jing looked for someone as he walked. Soon, he smiled and pointed to a seat by the window. "Come on, it's over there.
As soon as Chen Xing and Zeng Jing approached the middle seat by the window, a woman stood up with a smile and opened her arms to hug Zeng Jing. "My dear Captain Zeng, you haven't given me any exclusive news for a long time. When are you going to give me some big news?"
"Jiang Feng, I'm telling you, don't think about me again. Last time, you pestered me to reveal the progress of the major murder case on April 17. The next day, you wrote about it in the column, causing me to be scolded by my leader. How are you going to compensate me?" Zeng Jing smiled and blocked the woman's hands. "Don't give me that. You don't care about your image in public, but I care about it."
"Sister Jing, it's not right for you to say that. I just haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to show my affection. Look at how you don't give me face.
"Don't, as long as you don't pester me, let me be quiet, and don't get scolded by the leader."
"Hehe, Sister Jing, I don't think you look like you're being scolded by the leader. How can you go to the Party School to be promoted after being scolded by the leader? I think your Chief Zheng, who is in charge of the criminal investigation, can't bear to scold a trusted subordinate like you."
"Okay, stop being naughty. Come, let me introduce you. This is my classmate from the Party School, Chen Xing." Zeng Jing pointed to Chen Xing and introduced him.
Jiang Feng, who was at the side, also became serious at this time. She smiled and nodded to Chen Xing. When she introduced herself, she simply said, "Jiang Feng."
After some introductions, Chen Xing learned that Zeng Jing's best friend was Master Leng, the author of the famous column "Focus on Jianghai" in Jiangcheng Daily. Of course, Master Leng was his pen name, and his real name was Jiang Feng. When Chen Xing heard Zeng Jing's introduction, he looked at Jiang Feng in disbelief. He had always thought that the famous columnist in Jianghai Province, Master Leng, was either an old pedant or a middle-aged scholar with a serious face. He didn't expect that Jiang Feng was actually a woman who was 16 years old. No matter how he looked at her, he couldn't tell that Jiang Feng was the columnist who was famous for his sharp writing style. Judging from her playful and intimate behavior when she was talking to Zeng Jing, she was more like an old child.
In particular, the name Jiang Feng was a girl, which sounded like a boy's name. Coupled with the pen name Master Leng, Chen Xing couldn't help but look at her a few more times. She was obviously a beautiful and fashionable girl. He didn't know how she came up with the pen name Master Leng.
Chen Xing, are you surprised that such a young and fashionable woman has such a pen name? Zeng Jing seemed to know what Chen Xing was thinking and said with a smile.
If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it if someone told me that Master Leng is a young and beautiful woman. Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
They sat down together with a smile. The man sitting next to Jiang Feng was introduced to Chen Xing. He was Wang Chen, a deputy editor of the Provincial Party Newspaper. He was a friend of Jiang Feng. After talking for a while, Chen Xing didn't beat around the bush. He took out the manuscript he had prepared and handed it to Wang Chen. Editor Wang, can you take a look and see if this article can be published?
Chen Xing's attention was on Wang Chen. Beside him, Zeng Jing and Jiang Feng were whispering with a smile. Jiang Feng said, "Sister Jing, did you send me to do hard labor today just for this colleague? Are you interested in her and want to eat the cradle?
You b * tch, I think you are itching for a beating again. " Zeng Jing smiled and stretched out his hand, as if he was going to hit her.
I am telling the truth. Be careful, or I will tell my brother-in-law and he will be jealous.
Chen Xing almost spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard this. He looked at Jiang Feng and was surprised. "This woman's style is really different." Chen Xing thought and looked at Zeng Jing. Zeng Jing was the same. When others were eager to keep a distance from him, she dared to help him. Perhaps she and Jiang Feng were birds of a feather. They were both different people.
"Mr. Huang, I think your article is good. It should be published in the Party Newspaper. However, if you want to publish it on the main page, you will have to fight for it and get the approval of the leaders of the newspaper." Wang Chen glanced at the article written by Chen Xing and looked up at Chen Xing.
"Oh, what good suggestion does Editor Wang have? How can I persuade the leaders of the newspaper?" Chen Xing glanced at Wang Chen without batting an eyelid. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Chen Xing had already mentally prepared himself to pay a certain amount of money. Moreover, not just anyone could publish an article in the provincial party newspaper. The key pages mainly contained the speeches of the main leaders of the provincial party committee. Without the approval of the chief editor of the newspaper, a deputy editor like Wang Chen really couldn't make the decision. Chen Xing could understand Wang Chen's words.
"Hehe, let's talk about it later. I will help you fight for it and sound out the leaders." Wang Chen smiled and nodded. "You have to compress your article and try to write the main points. Otherwise, it will be too long."
"Old Wang, Sister Jing is my good friend. Since he is Sister Jing's friend, he is also my friend. If you can help him, please do." Jiang Feng said from the side.
"Jiang Feng, I will help him if I can. Do you think I am the kind of person who asks for money?" Wang Chen looked at Jiang Feng with a wry smile. His smile was a little flattering.
Chen Xing looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. Then, he suddenly realized that Wang Chen was probably Jiang Feng's suitor. Chen Xing could see the signs and couldn't help but smile. Wang Bian, if there's anything you need to spend on this matter, feel free to let me know. This is the era of market economy, it's only right and proper for you to spend money on this matter.
Wang Chen was deliberately trying to curry favor with Jiang Feng, but when facing Chen Xingxing, his demeanor was somewhat indifferent. I will speak when the time is right. However, your article is about the transformation of the industry, and it is in line with the current economic hot spots. Perhaps it will be approved smoothly. Of course, if you feel that it doesn't matter which page you put it on, I can promise you now that I will still be able to decide on the last few pages. When Wang Chen said this last sentence, he secretly glanced at Jiang Feng, as if to prove that he didn't use his official position for personal gain.
"Then please help me fight for it, Editor Wang. Otherwise, if it is placed on the last page, no one will pay attention to it." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Two months of study at the Party School passed quickly. When Chen Xing's article was on the headline of the second page of the provincial party newspaper, and after a series of twists and turns, Chen Xing's transfer was also announced. At this time, the study at the Party School was also over.
That night, all the students in Chen Xing's class made an appointment to have dinner in the hotel. After this dinner, everyone would go back to their original posts and wait for the news. Some of those who could be promoted had already received the news, while those who couldn't would probably stay where they were.
Originally, Chen Xing didn't want to go. Since he was caught by Liu Jian, except for Wu Gang and Zeng Jing, the other people in his class seldom talked to him. Their relationship was very ordinary. In fact, it made no difference whether he went or not. Chen Xing wanted to take Wu Gang and Zeng Jing to find a place to eat by themselves. In the end, after several persuasion from Wu Gang and Zeng Jing, he agreed to go with them.
At five or six o 'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing and Zeng Jing stood at the gate of the Party School and waited. After a few minutes, Wu Gang got a Santana from somewhere and drove over. From a distance, he rolled down the window and greeted Chen Xing and Zeng Jing.
Chen Xing greeted Zeng Jing and got in the car with a smile. Wu Gang was the director of the county government office of Kaiyuan County in Jiangcheng City. Chen Xing was not surprised that he got a car quietly.
"Chen Xing, when are you going to report for work?" While driving, Wu Gang asked.
"Tomorrow. I'm going to Hai City tomorrow." Chen Xing thought for a moment and said.
"Tomorrow? So soon. " Wu Gang was a little surprised.
"No, since the transfer order has been issued, I'd better go to work quickly, lest I leave a bad impression on the leader."
"That's right." Wu Gang nodded and said with a smile, "You're going to be an official this time, so of course you'll be active. If it were me, I would directly go to Ximen County today."
"Don't just talk about me. Aren't you the same? How about it? Is your plan confirmed?" Chen Xing asked with concern.
"Confirmed my ass." Chen Xing's words touched Wu Gang's worries. It was rare for him to swear in front of Zeng Jing. "Nothing has been confirmed yet. When I go back, I have to continue to work as the director of my office. As for when I will be promoted, it's hard to say. Maybe I'll have to work as the director of the office for the rest of my life."
"No, Old Wu, I believe you'll get what you want this time." Chen Xing encouraged him.
"I hope so. With your auspicious words, I hope there will be a surprise this time." Wu Gang nodded with a smile. Although he said that, he didn't have much hope in his heart. There was a little silence in the car for a while. Wu Gang envied Chen Xing from the bottom of his heart. With such a leader behind him, he could be promoted so quickly.
"Chen Xing, but I heard that Ximen County is also famous for being poor in Hai City. Among the counties and cities in Hai City, the economy of Ximen County is probably at the bottom."
"Yes, Ximen County is indeed a little poor. If people living in Hai City hear that someone came from Ximen County, they will say that he came from the mountainous area. In Hai City, many people have a bit of prejudice against Ximen County. I still remember that my mother once told me that there was a colleague in her unit whose daughter's boyfriend happened to be from Ximen County. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to work. As a result, her daughter desperately wanted to marry there, but her family didn't agree. They thought that Ximen County was too poor, and her daughter would have to suffer if she went there. Later, they really couldn't resist her daughter's insistence. She and her husband finally gave in and made a condition. They asked the man to marry into their family and asked him to come to Hai City to find a job. Only then would they be willing to marry their daughter to him.
This kind of thing is very normal. The situation in our county is a little similar. The men in our county go out to make a living, but it's not easy. When they meet some harsh people, they will think that our county is poor. " Wu Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, so this time, it won't be easy for me to work in Ximen County. I don't know if I can make some achievements." Chen Xing unconsciously clenched his fists. His eyes were firm. He hoped that he could make a career in Ximen County. Although it was poor, it was also a stage for him to show off his skills. Chen Xing must seize this opportunity. From a secretary to the work of a county, this was a real leap in his career. If he could make some achievements in this position, it would definitely lay a good foundation for his future development.
I guess that when your leader promoted you, he also wanted to test you to see if you have the ability. Wu Gang smiled. Through the rearview mirror, he glanced at Zeng Jing, who was sitting alone in the back seat. He smiled and said, "Captain Zeng, why don't you say something? Later, don't say that two men like us neglected a woman like you.
No, it's good for me to listen to you talk. " Zeng Jing shook his head and smiled.
By the way, Zeng Jing, when you go back, will you still stay in the Criminal Police Unit? Chen Xing turned his head and looked at Zeng Jing curiously. These days, Zeng Jing had not mentioned anything about this.
Maybe not. Maybe I will go to the next branch.
To the next branch? Does that mean I will be promoted?
It's hard to say. Just like what Wu Gang said just now, nothing has been set in stone. Zeng Jing smiled and shook his head. No matter whether I will be promoted or not, I am doing well in the Criminal Police Unit. My leader also takes good care of me.
You can't say it like that. People have to look forward. We can't be like others who have the mentality of eating and waiting to die.
Chen Xing, what you said is wrong. Captain Zeng is a comrade fighting in the front line. He can sacrifice his life for the country at any time. He is different from us. Wu Gang said seriously.
That's right. The work of the police is dangerous. The Criminal Police Unit is the first group to deal with criminals directly. It's totally different from us who sit in the office. We can be said to be doing nothing, but Zeng Jing, you can't. Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
Chen Xing and Wu Gang were talking, but they did not notice the vaguely distressed look on Zeng Jing's face. But in an instant, Zeng Jing hid it well. He talked and laughed with Chen Xing and Wu Gang as usual.
They talked and laughed all the way to the hotel. Almost all the classmates of Chen Xing's Party School training had arrived. Chen Bin, who used to live in the same dormitory as Chen Xing, was already shuttling among the crowd, chatting and laughing with others from time to time.
Chen Bin was still the same, getting along well with everyone. When Wu Gang saw Chen Bin's figure, he looked slightly displeased. Look, he's walking towards us.
Old Wu, Chen Xing, you are here. Chen Bin glimpsed Chen Xing and Wu Gang coming in. There was some bitterness in the depth of his eyes. He turned around and greeted Chen Xing and Wu Gang as if nothing had happened. He was full of smiles, as if nothing had happened. Chen Xing nodded slightly and walked to a place to sit down.
Chen Xing nodded his head lightly and walked to a place to sit down. At this time, the others beside him also greeted him one after another. Compared with before, the change was very obvious. This was entirely because Chen Xing's transfer order had been issued. Some people inquired about it and immediately found out that not only was Chen Xing not affected by the incident with Liu Jian, but he was also promoted. Moreover, someone inquired about it through a friend in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and learned that Chen Xing was actually the secretary of the newly appointed Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Mingfang. At this time, many people began to regret not befriending Chen Xing and missing the best opportunity.
Now that they knew the background of Chen Xing, they had missed the opportunity. Especially in the more than ten days after Chen Xing was "caught" by Liu Jian, many people believed that Chen Xing's political life was basically hopeless. Intentionally or unintentionally, they kept a distance from him. However, they did not expect that Chen Xing would have a "turnaround" like a salted fish. Moreover, he had the support of such a big leader who was in charge of everyone.
Among the people present, Chen Bin had the most complicated feelings. It was not only because he regretted his previous attitude towards Chen Xing, but also because of his own future. He had been full of confidence and had suffered a heavy blow. He had originally thought that after he finished the Party School, he would be promoted to the director of the Industrial and Commercial Sub-bureau of the Chengguan District. His father-in-law used to be an old leader in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and had helped Dai Guo, the current director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, to promote him. Fortunately, Dai Guo was a man of conscience and knew how to repay kindness. He had always respected his father-in-law. This time, it was his father-in-law who had interceded for him. He had personally visited Dai Guo's home several times and finally made Dai Guo relent and agree to help with the promotion. Chen Bin had thought that with the approval of Dai Guo, the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, his position would be in the bag. However, he did not expect that at the last critical moment, Cheng Yingjin would appear.
Someone had appeared out of nowhere to compete with him for the position of the director of the Industrial and Commercial Sub-bureau of the Chengguan District. Listening to his father-in-law's tone, Chen Bin understood that his position was likely to be lost. The competitor had been recommended by the leader of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. No matter how tough Dai Guo, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, was, he would not go so far as to oppose the candidate recommended by the Organization Department for Chen Bin's sake. As a result, Chen Bin's position was as good as lost.
Chen Xing, you've been promoted. I've forgotten to congratulate you. Seeing that both Chen Xing and Wu Gang's attitude towards him was somewhat lukewarm, Chen Bin did not seem to mind at all. He walked up to them with a smile, but the bitterness in the depths of his eyes became more and more obvious.
Thank you. Chen Xing glanced at Chen Bin and nodded lightly.
By the way, Chen Xing, you used to come from Hai City. You've been busy with work and studying at the Party School in the past few months in the provincial capital, so you haven't had the chance to have a good time in the provincial capital. How about it? Do you want to take some time off after you finish studying at the Party School? I'm very familiar with the various scenic spots in the provincial capital. How about I be your tour guide? Chen Bin said with a smile.
No, I'll go to Hai City tomorrow. Chen Xing glanced at him with a smile.
