At the table, everyone toasted to each other. Their faces were glowing and full of pride.
Chen Bin sat at the same table as Chen Xing, Wu Gang, and the others. Halfway through the banquet, Chen Bin suddenly poured himself half a glass of white wine and stood up. "Chen Xing, let me propose a toast to you.
I'm sorry, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't drink tonight. Chen Xing glanced at him with a smile and shook his head.
Chen Bin's expression turned slightly ugly. Chen Xing's words put him on the spot and put him on the spot. Chen Bin didn't know that Chen Xing had his own definition of a friend. In Sea City, Chen Xing could pretend to be friendly with Fei Ren, Yang Ming, Zhang Ping, and the others. Even when he was extremely disgusted with them, Chen Xing didn't show any of it on his face. This was because Chen Xing had never treated them as friends. They had always been using each other. Chen Xing had already defined this relationship for him from the very beginning, so he naturally wouldn't feel disgusted with them anymore. As for Chen Bin, Chen Xing had genuinely treated him as a friend from the very beginning. Chen Bin's subsequent behavior could only be said to have disappointed him. If Chen Bin could go all the way and stop trying to curry favor with him so shamelessly, Chen Xing would have admired him for his toughness. However, Chen Bin's behavior today could only be said to have lowered Chen Xing's evaluation of Chen Bin by another notch.
Chen Xing didn't dislike people like Chen Bin, but Chen Xing admitted that he couldn't make him treat Chen Bin as a friend now.
"Chen Xing, just drink whatever you like. I'll drink it up." Chen Bin smiled awkwardly, as if he also wanted to drown his sorrows and vent the depression in his heart. He raised his head and drank up half a glass of white wine.
Chen Xing picked up a glass of drink that Wu Gang had poured for him and took a sip.
By the time the banquet ended, Chen Bin was already a little tipsy. He had drunk no less than two glasses of white wine. As for red wine, Chen Bin had forgotten how many glasses he had drunk. The red wine had a strong aftereffect, and by the time Chen Bin was finished, he was already a little tipsy. If it wasn't for his good alcohol tolerance, which was honed from socializing, Chen Bin would have already collapsed. Only he knew the bitterness in his heart. Chen Bin originally wanted to build a good relationship with Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing was Zhou Mingfang's secretary, and he definitely had some connections in the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department. If someone from the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department helped to greet the people from the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, Chen Bin felt that he might still have a chance to be promoted. However, Chen Xing's attitude had completely shattered the hope in Chen Bin's heart.
"Chen Xing, I will drive you and Old Wu back." Chen Bin forced a smile on his face and walked to Chen Xing and Wu Gang.
"Chen Bin, I think you drank a lot tonight. You should go back and rest early. It's better if you don't drive." Wu Gang, who was standing at the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said.
"It's okay. I won't get drunk after drinking so much. My head is still clear." Chen Bin waved his hand disapprovingly.
Chen Xing and Wu Gang looked at each other. Chen Bin was really drunk now.
"Chen Bin, I drove here myself. I will drive Chen Xing back. I think you should take someone else's car."
When Chen Xing and Wu Gang came out of the hotel, Chen Bin didn't follow them. Maybe it was because of Chen Bin, the two of them were not in high spirits. Wu Gang started the car and turned to Zeng Jing. "Captain Zeng, do you want to go back to the Party School with us or go back to your home?
If you don't mind, you can drive me back. I live on Yiyang Road. " Zeng Jing said with a smile.
"It seems that our Captain Zeng is in a hurry to go back to see his husband and son." Wu Gang joked.
"Sigh, my son's grandpa and grandma take care of him. When other kids see their parents go back, they run to them happily, but he doesn't react at all." Zeng Jing sighed and said, "His father is also busy. He's in the Criminal Police Unit like me, but he's even busier than me. Two months ago, before I went to the Party School, the two of us were busy working together. We often came home late at night, and sometimes, we didn't even go home all night because of a big case. Now that I've been attending the Party School, I have more free time than before. That's why I often go home at night to spend time with my son. Otherwise, as my son grows up, I, his mother, will become more distant."
Children will always be close to whoever they are with. As a mother, if you don't go back often, the child will naturally forget about you. Speaking of this, I have some experience. No matter what, I am also someone who has been through this. Wu Gang said proudly, "My son is ten years old. When he was a child, he used to cry when he slept with his mother. He cried all night. But when he slept with me, he immediately became obedient. He slept until dawn and never made a fuss. People say that he is close to me. Haha, he is still the same after he grew up. He likes to pester me to play with him."
"Look at how happy you are. I'm afraid your wife was jealous of you because of your son." Zeng Jing was also a mother, so she was very touched when she talked about it.
"Of course, my son's mother was jealous for a while." Being praised by Zeng Jing, Wu Gang grinned from ear to ear.
Chen Xing didn't have a girlfriend, let alone a child. Listening to the two of them exchanging their parenting experiences, Chen Xing sat aside and smiled bitterly. He really couldn't get involved in this kind of topic. He could only listen quietly. Seeing Zeng Jing's distressed and happy look, and even Wu Gang, who was 35 or 36 years old, was also excited when talking about children, Chen Xing was a little envious. "Where is my emotional home? When can I start a family? "
"Chen Xing, I think you are not young anymore. It's time to find a woman and start a family. Otherwise, you will be a leftover man." Zeng Jing smiled and said to Chen Xing, who was silent at the side.
"Finding a woman depends on fate. I can't get married just for the sake of getting married. I can't just find a woman and make do with it." Chen Xing said with a bitter smile.
"I think fate is something illusory. I think happiness is in our own hands. People should take the initiative to pursue their own happiness. It's too unreliable to always wait for fate. Even if there is such a thing as fate, you have to take the initiative to pursue it. Only then can you grasp this so-called fate, right?" "So, Chen Xing, you should be more proactive. Look for a few more targets, and then cast your net everywhere. You will definitely be able to catch one that you like." Zeng Jing said with fervor and assurance. He didn't realize that Chen Xing was looking at him with a strange look. "Why?
Is there something wrong with what I said? " Zeng Jing looked at Chen Xing with a strange look.
"No, what you said is very right. I am considering doing what you said." Chen Xing said, trying not to laugh.
"It seems that I have given advice to someone, but I have given the impression of a bad woman."
"No, I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart, Sister Jing."
"Captain Zeng, you don't have to worry about Chen Xing at all. Even if he becomes a leftover man, according to the popular saying, he is still a golden leftover man. He is very popular. Look, he is such a young deputy county magistrate, and he is not the kind of ugly one. No matter what, he belongs to the ranks of handsome men. Women will flock to him when they see him. I can guarantee that Chen Xing, you will have a headache when you go back to Hai City this time. There will be an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage for you, not including those women who take the initiative to approach you. Haha, at that time, you will be dazzled by the choices. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to find a girlfriend."
"Old Wu, you'd better focus on driving. I don't know if you are scolding me or praising me."
"Chen Xing, can't you tell that Wu Gang's real intention is to scold you?"
Zeng Jing's home was located on Yiyang Road, not far from the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. More than ten minutes after leaving the hotel, Wu Gang had already sent Zeng Jing to his place of residence. Zeng Jing smiled and said goodbye to them, then turned around and walked into the police staff dormitory area.
"Old Wu, do you think I was right to treat Chen Bin like that?" After returning to the car, Chen Xing and Wu Gang began to talk about Chen Bin.
"There is nothing wrong with what you did. Chen Bin only has himself to blame. If I were you, I would at most give him a way out. But if you want me to associate with him like before, I also can't do it."
"Haha, it seems that I didn't even give him a way out. That was too much." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.
"That's not necessarily true. It's not bad to teach him a lesson. Next time, let him know that he can't be a two-faced person."
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Xing went into his room and packed his clothes. Although he only brought a bag of luggage with him when he came, after living here for two months, he had more things. In addition to buying some daily necessities, the weather turned cold, so Chen Xing also went to buy a few more autumn clothes.
After packing his things, the next morning, Chen Xing got up early. Wu Gang was still sleeping soundly in the room. Chen Xing didn't wake him up, but went out first. Before leaving, he still had to visit Zhou Mingfang.
He took a taxi to the residential area of the Provincial Party Committee's Standing Committee on Minghuai Road. Chen Xing had been Zhou Mingfang's secretary for a while, so he knew when he went out. At this time, Zhou Mingfang was still at home.
The armed police at the door recognized Chen Xing as the one who came last time. After making a routine call to inquire, they let Chen Xing in and easily went to the villa where Zhou Mingfang lived. Chen Xing's expectations were not wrong. Zhou Mingfang was still at home, but he was walking out of the house at this time. It seemed that he was about to go out. The car was already parked in front of the door. The driver was Zhou Mingfang's new driver after he arrived at the provincial capital. Chen Xing had also spent a few days with him, so he was not unfamiliar with him.
"Get in the car." Zhou Mingfang was not surprised that Chen Xing came early this morning. He waved his hand and motioned for Chen Xing to get in the car. Zhou Mingfang had already sat in the car.
"Chen Xing, sit in the back." Just as Chen Xing was about to get into the passenger seat out of habit, Zhou Mingfang, who was sitting in the back, suddenly spoke.
Chen Xing rarely sat in the back with Zhou Mingfang. Every time Zhou Mingfang asked him to sit in the back, he basically had something to say to him. Chen Xing knew that he was coming today, and Zhou Mingfang also understood his intention. He nodded and walked to the back to sit.
"Go to Xi Men today?" Zhou Mingfang turned to look at Chen Xing and asked.
"Yes, go there today.
That's good. Go there early and familiarize yourself with the environment. That will be your place of work in the future. " Zhou Mingfang pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"When you arrive at the new working environment, you must be diligent and down-to-earth. Don't let your superiors down.
I will definitely not let you down, Secretary Zhou. " Chen Xing straightened his body and said seriously, "It's just that I can't always stay by your side and listen to your teachings in the future.
Not only my expectations, but also the expectations of others for you. You must cherish this hard-won opportunity. " Zhou Mingfang glanced at Chen Xing gently.
Chen Xing was slightly surprised and couldn't help but look up at Zhou Mingfang. Zhou Mingfang obviously had a hidden meaning in his words.
"Apart from Zhou Mingfang, who else would be paying attention to me?" "Could it be the Zhang family?" Chen Xing secretly guessed in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it. Not long after the car left Minghuai Road, Zhou Mingfang said, "You've come to take a look today, so you can go and do your own things now. I've already notified Haicheng about your transfer, and I've also informed Yuanjiang. He knows what to do.
"Finally, I'll give you a word of advice. Be down-to-earth, but also dare to think and act. You must be bold and responsible. Don't be overcautious and indecisive." Zhou Mingfang took one last deep look at Chen Xing, then rolled up the window and waved to the driver in the front.
The car slowly drove away, leaving only Chen Xing standing in the same place. Watching Zhou Mingfang's car go away, Chen Xing carefully thought about the meaning of Zhou Mingfang's last sentence. He had a vague illusion that Zhou Mingfang's last sentence was like his own abbreviation. Bold and responsible! Zhou Mingfang was holding himself to his standards.
"Chen Xing, where are you now?" When he woke up in the morning, Wu Gang didn't see Chen Xing. He looked around the house and immediately called Chen Xing.
"Old Wu, I'm outside now. I'll be back soon."
Oh, I thought you didn't say goodbye and left without saying a word. If that happened, I would have gotten angry with you. Wu Gang's voice was obviously relieved. "It's good that you didn't leave. I'll wait for you in the dormitory. I'll send you later."
When Chen Xing returned to the dormitory, Wu Gang was sitting in the small living room. He was half-lying facing the door. When he saw Chen Xing come in, he smiled and said, "You went out so early in the morning. You woke up early."
"It's not very early. I'm in a hurry to see the leader. Even if I'm sleepy, I have to get up." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Chen Xing, I really envy you. To be honest, I haven't seen the leader of the Provincial Party Committee until now. I don't even have the chance to get close to him. Except for the leader of the Provincial Party Committee who comes to our county for inspection, I'm busy as the office director. Sometimes I can take a close look at the leader of the Provincial Party Committee, but I don't have the chance to talk to the leader at all. Not to mention the leader of the province, I don't even have the chance to get in touch with the leader of Jiangcheng City."
"Yes, you will have the chance in the future. There's still a long way to go. You're not old now. It's not certain how far you can go in the future. Maybe one day you'll become a city leader." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"No, Chen Xing, don't say that. If you say that again, my legs will cramp. I don't even dare to think about being a city leader. If I have the chance to become the top leader of the Party and government in the county in the future, I'll thank the gods. As for being a city leader, let's not dream about it." Wu Gang shook his head with a smile.
"Old Wu, I'm leaving soon. When will you leave?
I'll leave in a few days. I still have to stay in Jiang City to deal with some private affairs. " Wu Gang said with a smile. He didn't tell Chen Xing about his own affairs. He wanted to stay for a few more days because he wanted to make connections for his future. From the office director of the county government to the deputy head of the county, this was also a key step in his career. No matter what, Wu Gang wanted to work hard. As the office director, his job was to serve people. It was exhausting and he had to obey the leader's orders. Wu Gang was more or less tired of this position. This time, he also wanted to try his best to seize the opportunity.
Wu Gang could have told Chen Xing and asked Chen Xing for help. He wanted to see if he could get through the people in the Organization Department, but Wu Gang didn't choose to do that in the end.
"It seems that we can only find a chance to meet in the future." Chen Xing looked at the time. He wanted to rush back to Hai City at noon. Now it was almost time to leave. It could be said that the time he stayed in the provincial capital had entered the countdown.
"It's not easy to get together. Jiang City is not far from Hai City. As long as we set a time, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." Wu Gang said with a smile. "Let's go. I'll drive you to the station."
Chen Xing turned around and walked back to his room. After confirming that he didn't leave anything behind, he finally picked up his luggage and said goodbye to the Party School dormitory that he had lived in for two months.
When he went downstairs, Chen Xing's phone rang again. Looking at the number, Chen Xing's face changed slightly. He silently picked up the phone.
"Chen Xing, congratulations on your promotion." It was Zhao Qing's voice on the phone. "When will you leave the provincial capital? How about I send you there? "
"Zhao Qing, thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to bother to send me." Chen Xing's tone was a little indifferent.
"It's not troublesome. It's very convenient to drive. Besides, I have nothing to do. After all, we are old classmates. It's reasonable for me to send you off." As Zhao Qing spoke, her husband, Sun Xiang, was playing with a pair of exquisite jade ware. This pair of exquisite jade ware was given to Sun Xiang by Li Zheng, the Executive Deputy Head of Ximen County. Sun Xiang liked it very much and accepted it.
"Chen Xing, are you going to leave the provincial capital now?" Chen Xing opened the car door and put the luggage in. Zhao Qing faintly heard some voices and frowned slightly.
"Yes, I'm on the bus from Jiang City to Hai City now." Chen Xing nodded slightly. "I'm a little carsick. Let's not talk about it."
"Who is it? Look at you. You don't like me." Wu Gang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Xing lying through his teeth.
"I used to be a friend." Chen Xing smiled. "Let's go quickly. I hope I can rush to Hai City for lunch this afternoon. I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for more than two months and I miss it."
"Okay, I'll drive faster." Wu Gang nodded with a smile.
When the car arrived at the station, an unexpected figure was already there. No one knew when Zeng Jing had arrived at the station. There was a police car parked beside him.
"Someone left in such a hurry without informing me. It seems that he doesn't treat me as a friend." Zeng Jing looked at Chen Xing and pretended to be angry. "If Wu Gang hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known that you were going to leave so early in the morning."
"The main thing is that it's still early. I don't want to disturb you. Besides, you have to take care of your child. I don't want you to make a special trip for me." Chen Xing explained with a smile.
"No matter how busy I am, I should send my friend off.
Besides, the first thing my child does when he wakes up in the morning is to look for his grandparents. As a mother, I'm almost redundant. " Zeng Jing smiled bitterly.
"So, Sister Jing, you should take advantage of the free time after the Party School to spend more time with your child. Otherwise, when you return to the crime squad, you won't have time."
"I don't even know if you can go back." Zeng Jing frowned. Speaking of this, a trace of distress flashed in the depths of his eyes again. "Let's not talk about this. Chen Xing, I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Well, thank you." Chen Xing smiled gratefully. Wu Gang had parked the car and walked over. Chen Xing said to the two of them, "If there's a chance to meet again in the future, I wish you two a bright future. This time, you can make further progress."
"The two of us don't have as bright a future as you. Chen Xing, you have to work hard and strive for a brilliant career as soon as possible to guide us." Wu Gang joked.
"Not bad, Chen Xing, I'm also waiting for you to help me." Zeng Jing smiled and nodded in agreement.
If that day really came, of course, there was no need to say anything. Chen Xing replied with a smile. To everyone's surprise, this unintentional joke of his today would actually become a reality in the future.
Chen Xing got on the car and waved to Wu Gang and Zeng Jing, saying his last goodbye. "Let's go back, the car is leaving."
The long-distance bus from Jiang City to Hai City finally drove out of the station slowly. It was not until the bus disappeared outside the station that Wu Gang and Zeng Jing got on the car respectively and went about their own business.
It was not yet 11 o 'clock in the morning. With the sound of the car indicating that they were about to get off the highway, Chen Xing's mood fluctuated slightly. Although he had only left Hai City for more than two months, and the distance between Jiang City and Hai City was not really far, Chen Xing was a little excited when he returned to Hai City this time.
Looking at the familiar buildings in front of him, Chen Xing had a kind of suppressed excitement in his heart. At this moment, he just wanted to shout out, "Hai City, I'm back again."
At noon, Zou Fang and Chen Shuiping, who had known in advance that Chen Xing was coming back, had been waiting for him at home. Zou Fang was cooking in the kitchen and looked at the gate of the community downstairs from time to time through the kitchen window. Chen Shuiping was walking back and forth in the living room. Occasionally, he stood in front of the living room window and looked at the cars going back and forth downstairs to see if there were any cars that stopped outside the community. The two old people were equally anxious.
"He's back, he's back." Chen Shuiping, who specially put on his glasses, saw a taxi that stopped at the gate of the community. It was his son who got out of the taxi.
"Hurry up, old man, go downstairs and help Chen Xing with his luggage." Hearing the sound, Zou Fang leaned over to the window sill and hurriedly stuck her head out of the kitchen.
"Old man? I'm not old at all." Chen Shuiping muttered with some dissatisfaction. Then he opened the door and went downstairs with a smile.
"Dad, why did you come down?" Chen Xing couldn't help but smile when he met his father at the staircase on the first floor.
"Dad will help you carry your luggage." Chen Shuiping's face was full of joy.
"No, it's not heavy. I can do it myself." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile and looked at his father for a while. "Dad, you seem to have more white hair."
"Nonsense, how can white hair grow so fast? Besides, I'm not old yet."
"Well, I'm not old yet. Dad is still young and can live to a hundred years old." Chen Xing's eyes were about to become wet again.
"Chen Xing, let's go upstairs." Chen Shuiping looked at his son with some relief. His son had been away for more than two months, but after he came back, he felt that his son had become a little more mature.
The father and son went upstairs together. In the house, Zou Fang was shuttling between the kitchen and the living room. Plates of steaming hot dishes were served. Hearing the sound of the door, Zou Fang also put down what she was doing and walked to the door. She kept staring at Chen Xing with a smile.
"Mom, there's something on my face. Look at you." Chen Xing smiled and touched his cheek.
"I've lost a little weight." Zou Fang said with some heartache.
"How is that possible, Mom? You haven't seen me for a while, so you feel that I've lost weight." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "I've weighed myself once in the provincial capital, and I'm still the same weight."
"Let's go."
"Let's go in first." Chen Shuiping smiled and urged her from behind. "Old lady, are you done with the food? Chen Xing is probably hungry."
"Alright, alright, what are you rushing me for?" Zou Fang smiled and rolled her eyes at her husband. She turned to look at Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Chen Xing, these are all your favorite dishes. I've made them for you for lunch today so that you can eat as much as you want."
"Is that so? Then I'm in luck." Chen Xing put his luggage on the sofa and walked to the dining table to sit down. These were all his mother's best dishes, and they were also the dishes that he liked to eat. He already had a big appetite. "Mom, I can't help but hold them with my hands."
"Chen Xing, this time you're back, you'll have to stay in Hai City for a long time." Zou Fang took out the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and sat down with Chen Shuiping to eat.
"Well, I should be staying in Hai City for a long time." Chen Xing nodded with a smile. It was not so easy to be promoted in the officialdom. In addition to background and connections, one must also have qualifications. Even if he really made some achievements in Xi Men, he would at least have to stay there for a few years before he could get out. Chen Xing estimated that he would have to take root in Hai City for a long time.
"It's good to stay in Hai City. At least it's much more convenient to go home. It's nearer to come back from Xi Men than from Jiang City." The smile on Zou Fang's face never stopped. Not only did her son return to Hai City to work, but he was also promoted and became a deputy county cadre at a young age. Now many people in the government agencies were talking about her son. When people in the unit met her, they would also come to congratulate her. As a mother, Zou Fang's face was full of glory.
"Chen Xing, when are you going to report to Xi Men? Do you want to rest at home for a few more days? Mom will cook more delicious food for you. "
"Okay.
"No, I'm going to Xi Men in the afternoon."
"So soon?"
"Well, I'll go and explore the road first." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Oh, I thought you could rest at home for a few more days." Zou Fang looked a little disappointed.
"Now that I'm working in Xi Men, it's much more convenient for me to come back. Two more days won't make a difference. Old woman, don't mess around." Chen Shuiping said with a smile.
"Who said I'm messing around? I'm worried about my son. Unlike you, you're so happy that your son is going to leave as soon as he comes back." Zou Fang rolled her eyes.
"I'm happy that my son is back. What do you know?"
Chen Xing smiled and didn't interrupt. He just ate the food on the plate. "Sometimes, it's a very warm thing to listen to my parents bickering."
"Chen Xing, Director Deng and Deputy Director Yang of our unit said that they would come to visit us. It seems that you're going to Xi Men so soon. I can only tell them not to come." Zou Fang said with some pity.
"Mom, there's no need to see them. Just tell them the truth that I'm in a hurry to go to Xi Men."
"Old woman, don't make trouble for your son. Chen Xing has become a county leader at such a young age. There are many eyes on him. He should keep a low profile now."
"What do you mean by I make trouble? The leader of the bureau said that he just wants to visit us. What can I do?"
Chen Xing was eating at the side. Hearing his parents bickering again, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "Maybe this is also a way for the old couple to get along."
After lunch, Chen Xing didn't even take a nap. He hurried to the home of Yuan Jiang, the Minister of the Municipal Party Committee.
"Minister Yuan, I came here at noon. I hope I didn't disturb your lunch break.
I received a call from Secretary Zhou and knew that you were coming, so I specially waited for you. " Yuan Jiang smiled and welcomed Chen Xing in.
"Chen Xing, a scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at in a new light." In the living room, Yuan Jiang looked at Chen Xing with a smile and felt a little emotional.
"Minister Yuan, you must be joking. I still need more guidance from you in the future."
"You've learned from Secretary Zhou for so long. With his words and deeds, there's nothing I can teach you."
"Before I came back to Hai City, Secretary Zhou told me to learn more from you. Minister Yuan, don't be a hands-off boss."
"Did Secretary Zhou really say that?" Yuan Jiang's expression changed, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Secretary Zhou did tell me that." Chen Xing smiled and nodded affirmatively.
"Secretary Zhou is exaggerating." As if he believed Chen Xing's words, Yuan Jiang's expression was obviously happy. "Chen Xing, when are you going to Ximen County to take up your post?" "Secretary Zhou told me to escort you."
"Minister Yuan, I plan to go to Ximen County in the afternoon."
"In the afternoon?" Yuan Jiang frowned slightly. "I'm afraid you can't go in the afternoon. I plan to arrange for Comrade Liu Jiang to accompany you to your post. Comrade Liu Jiang is still out of town. I specially called him just now and asked him to end his inspection in advance and come back at night. You can only go tomorrow at the latest."
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. Liu Jiang was the executive deputy minister of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee. Chen Xing did not expect Yuan Jiang to arrange for him to accompany him to his post. Chen Xing was a little grateful. Ximen County was at the bottom of several counties and districts in Hai City. It was the kind of county that was not valued. Originally, when a deputy county magistrate like him took up his post, if the Organization Department could send a deputy minister to accompany him, it was already very important. Yuan Jiang had arranged for Liu Jiang, the executive deputy minister, to be specially taken care of. Chen Xing knew very well that this was mainly because of Zhou Mingfang.
"Minister Yuan, how about this? I go to Ximen County first, and Deputy Minister Liu will go there tomorrow. When he is about to arrive, I will directly meet him at Ximen County. What do you think?"
"That's fine." Yuan Jiang thought for a moment and nodded. He glanced at Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Why? You are in a hurry to go to Ximen County alone. Do you want to visit incognito?
Minister Yuan must be joking. I am just going to take a look in advance. "
Just as Chen Xing was planning to go to Ximen County ahead of time, in Ximen County, the executive deputy county magistrate, Li Zheng, had already received a notice from the city that Chen Xing would be arriving at Ximen County tomorrow to take up his post. Li Zheng sat alone in his office, his face frighteningly gloomy.
Lin Fang knocked on the door. When he walked into Li Zheng's office, he saw his leader's expression. Lin Fang understood in his heart. He walked to Li Zheng's desk and said, "County magistrate, Chen Xing will be coming tomorrow. We can show him our strength first."
"Show him our strength first? What do you think? " Li Zheng's eyebrows moved. He glanced at Lin Fang, but he was a little uninterested.
The corners of Lin Fang's mouth curled into a smile of a villain intoxicated by success. He moved closer to Li Zheng's ear and told him his thoughts.
"Is this feasible?" Li Zheng frowned as he thought about it.
"County magistrate, there are many remote villages in our county. The communication signal there is very poor. When we call in, the signal is often interrupted. Do you remember that when we went to Meishan Village for an inspection, the people from the government office called us to come back for a meeting? We called them for a whole day, but they couldn't get through. You should have experienced it yourself."
"Yes, this excuse can be used as an excuse." Li Zheng looked a little moved.
