Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning accompanied He Qili in the ward and chatted for almost half an hour. When they saw He Qili's tired face, they stood up and bade farewell. He Qili, who was still in the process of recovery, clearly did not have much energy left. After chatting for so long, he was already showing signs of fatigue.
When they came out of the ward and entered the elevator, Zhang Ningning could not help but ask, "Did Mr. He mean something else?"
"What did you hear?" Chen Xing glanced at his wife.
"I didn't hear anything, but I feel that he is hiding something." Zhang Ningning shook her head.
"Then don't think too much." Chen Xing smiled. "If Mr. He doesn't say, it's useless for us to guess. Besides, maybe we are thinking too much."
After driving home, Chen Xing looked at the time and called his father-in-law to tell him what had happened. As he wasn't going to complain to his father-in-law, Chen Xing was concise and to the point. Zhang Guohua, on the other hand, was silent for a while after listening to his story.
Zhang Guohua asked about the matter between Chen Xing and Zhang Mingchen in detail. After learning that it was Ning Deyan's decision, he did not say anything. It was good to let Chen Xing rest for a while.
The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a while. In the end, Zhang Guohua hung up.
"What did dad say?" Seeing that Chen Xing had hung up, Zhang Ningning took the initiative to ask.
"He didn't say anything. He just told me to have a good rest." Chen Xing smiled.
"That's all he said? Nothing else?
What else can he say? Given dad's position, what do you think he can do? Besides, he can't interfere in the discipline inspection system. " Chen Xing smiled. "Besides, I just called to inform dad, not to ask him to say anything."
"It's good that you think so. I was afraid that you would blame dad for not standing up for you." Zhang Ningning said with a smile.
"Oh, so you are trying to get information from me. Are you itching for a beating?" Chen Xing glared at his wife and pretended to reach out to tickle Zhang Ningning. Zhang Ningning was so scared that he quickly dodged to the side.
The couple laughed for a while and then lay on the bed, panting. Chen Xing held his wife in his arms and smelled her body fragrance. Chen Xing sighed with emotion in his heart. He didn't know how Zhang Ningning fell in love with him in the first place. Being able to marry her, Chen Xing knew that in many people's eyes, he was like a toad that stepped on a pile of dog shit and ate a swan that flew in the sky.
Ningning, what do you think it will be like when we are seventy or eighty years old?
What else could he look like? He must have lost all his teeth and could barely walk.
That's right, but I don't know if I can live to seventy or eighty years old. If a natural or man-made disaster comes, I'll die if I'm not careful.
Pooh pooh, what kind of jinx is this, cursing yourself.
Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. Chen Xing smiled. It had been a long time since he was able to lie quietly and talk with his wife.
The couple chatted about their lives, their ideals, and their future. They didn't know when they fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, they realized that they didn't even brush their teeth before going to bed last night. They just fell asleep, which made them laugh at each other.
After breakfast in the morning, the family took a walk in the park. After that, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning went to the company together.
This was the second time that Chen Xing had come to the company. Except for once when the company was just being prepared, Chen Xing had basically never set foot in his wife's company. On the one hand, he was busy with work. On the other hand, Chen Xing didn't want to get involved in his wife's business affairs. Both of them knew this very well.
Zhang Ningning made money only for public welfare. Every year, a large part of the company's profits were injected into the charity fund established by him. The charity fund was also operated in a commercial way. Only when money made money could the fund continue to operate for a long time.
Hearing that Zhang Ningning would go to the mountainous area again in two days, Chen Xing immediately expressed that he would go with him.
Regarding charity, the couple's thoughts were the same. In fact, what Zhang Ningning had done so far had also added a lot of points to the Zhang family. Although doing so might not necessarily gain any political benefits, and some people even secretly said that Zhang Ningning was just fishing for fame and helping the Zhang family to gain fame, Zhang Ningning did it without hesitation. Regardless of whether others praised her or secretly slandered her, Zhang Ningning did it without hesitation. Regardless of how others praised her or secretly slandered her, Zhang Ningning did it without hesitation.
In this country, many people had become rich, but there were still more people struggling to live on the poverty line. Sometimes, Chen Xing would also think, what was the most fundamental purpose of being an official? For the country, for the people. Everyone would shout slogans, but how many people could really put them into action?
Human nature was the most difficult thing to grasp.
Zhang Mingchen, an old discipline inspection officer who had worked for more than 20 years, had repeatedly cracked major cases. His party spirit and human nature should be unquestionable. However, when Chen Xing was suspended from work, another discipline inspection team went straight from the capital to Xijiang Province, which was the place where Zhang Mingchen used to work.
Chen Xing didn't know the changes in the outside world, because on the third day after he was suspended from work, Chen Xing and his wife, Zhang Ningning, and the staff of the foundation came to the mountainous area together.
After working in the local area for many years, Chen Xing had been to the mountainous area many times, especially when he was in charge of Mount Wang. Mount Wang was also a mountainous city, and some remote mountain villages were also poor and backward. It wasn't that Chen Xing hadn't visited them before. However, this time, when he came to this small mountain village in the depths of Mount Liang with Zhang Ningning, Chen Xing was still deeply shocked.
The couple and nearly 10 people from the foundation walked along the mountain road for nearly 10 hours before they arrived at the mountain village called Edge Cloud.
How do you feel? Zhang Ningning looked at her husband, who was lost in thought, and asked with a smile.
Have you been going to places like this for the past few years? Chen Xing didn't answer, but asked his wife in reply.
From the big city to this barren mountain, doesn't it feel like crossing into two different worlds? Zhang Ningning smiled.
You're a weak woman. Is it worth it to work so hard for charity? Chen Xing looked at his wife, feeling emotional. In the past few years, his career had been steadily rising, and he had been busy with his work. Usually, he had the opportunity to reunite with his wife when he returned to the capital. Apart from knowing that his wife was either busy with the company or focused on charity, Chen Xing didn't even know how many poor mountainous areas his wife had visited. Today, he experienced it again with his wife. Chen Xing suddenly felt that his wife had not had it easy, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart.
It wasn't about whether it was worth it or not. Zhang Ningning smiled faintly. When you see those pairs of eyes full of simplicity, full of confusion and some fear towards the outside world, but also eager to go out, you will know the meaning of doing this.
"When you say that, I feel that I, the so-called parent, should feel very ashamed." Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
"Do as much as you can. It depends on what you think." Zhang Ningning glanced at Chen Xing with a smile. "When you are old in the future, if you look back on your official career and feel that you have a clear conscience, isn't that enough?"
