Chen Xing did not return to the investigation team's station with Shen Zeliang. This was also the result of their discussion in the car. The situation in Wangshan City was very complicated. It was difficult to guarantee that the investigation team's station would not be followed. Chen Xing did not want others to know that he had returned to Wangshan, so he could only try his best to avoid some spies. According to what Shen Zeliang had said, Chen Xing concluded that the investigation team's station was being watched 24 hours a day. This also made him decide not to go back to the hotel station with Shen Zeliang.
After chatting with Shen Zeliang for a while, Chen Xing got out of the car halfway and looked at the time. It was past four in the afternoon. Chen Xing thought that Gu Panman was still at work, so he was not in a hurry to call him. After thinking about it, he sent a text message to Gu Panman.
After sending the text message, Chen Xing did not choose a place to go. Instead, he wandered around the streets casually. This was the place where he had worked for a year. Although he was not very familiar with everything in Wangshan City, Chen Xing was no stranger to this city. In his mind, he even clearly remembered the urban planning map of Wangshan City. It was a few areas that the city planned to focus on after the replanning. Chen Xing had once thought about doing a big job, but unfortunately, he had left as soon as he started.
Walking on the street and seeing that the streets of the city had not changed much, Chen Xing sighed softly. Over the past year, he had still paid attention to Wangshan from time to time. He knew that Wangshan was still ranked last in the province last year. Wangshan, with its weak economic growth, seemed to be unable to find a suitable development path for itself. It had always been at the bottom of the province.
Thinking of Li Kaishan, Chen Xing frowned subconsciously. Before he left office, he recommended Li Kaishan to the higher-ups. At that time, he did not think that the higher-ups would accept his opinion. It was just a symbolic question. Therefore, when there was no one to recommend, Chen Xing recommended Li Kaishan. He did not expect that in the end, Li Kaishan would take over the position of secretary. This made Chen Xing both surprised and relieved. In his opinion, it was better for Li Kaishan to take over his position than someone else.
Deep in his heart, Chen Xing's impression of Li Kaishan was actually very complicated. Chen Xing could never figure out what kind of person Li Kaishan was.
Looking quietly on the street, Chen Xing thought about some people and things in Wangshan from time to time. His mood was complicated. This city had nothing to do with him now. Whether it was good or bad here was not up to him, but there was always an unspeakable melancholy in his heart.
Chen Xing tried to find the source of this emotion in his heart. After thinking about it, Chen Xing could only attribute it to the unwillingness deep in his heart. Perhaps in this city, he had encountered the biggest setback since his work. He had fallen heavily, so it was particularly difficult for him to get over this city.
The vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket pulled Chen Xing back from his thoughts. He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a text message from Gu Panman. Chen Xing opened it.
The text message that Chen Xing had just sent to the other party was only two words, "Are you busy?"
At this time, Gu Panman replied, "Yes, I was busy just now. Secretary Chen, I'm sorry I couldn't reply to you in time."
Gu Panman's reply was a little polite, but there was also a strange sense of distance. Chen Xing looked at the text message for a while, and suddenly felt a little emotional. They hadn't contacted each other for a year, so he could completely feel the faint sense of distance from the other party. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. He had deliberately kept a distance from the other party and only treated him as a friend. How could he expect the other party to have any special reaction?
Shaking his head, Chen Xing calmed down and sent another text message, "Are you free to have dinner together tonight?"
"Are you in Wangshan?"
In the Municipal Procuratorate, Gu Panman, who was on the other end of the phone, almost knocked over the glass of water on his table. When replying to Chen Xing's text message, Gu Panman's eyes were fixed on the mobile phone screen, and his heart was in turmoil. When he saw that Chen Xing finally replied to the text message in affirmation, Gu Panman's face was a little red because of excitement.
Chen Xing didn't know Gu Panman's excitement. When he received Gu Panman's reply that he was free, Chen Xing was also in a good mood. After making an appointment with the other party, Chen Xing was not in a hurry and continued to stroll around the streets of Wangshan.
The two of them made an appointment to have dinner at 6: 30 in an inconspicuous restaurant in the city. The location was made by Chen Xing and Gu Panman. The only requirement was that it was ordinary and would not attract attention, so Gu Panman also made a reservation. Chen Xing didn't know the place after hearing it. After Gu Panman told him which street it was, Chen Xing roughly knew the location.
Wangshan District was not big. Compared with some developed coastal cities, as a prefecture-level city, Wangshan's urban area was not even as big and lively as the urban areas of some county-level cities.
Chen Xing wandered casually on the street and planned to take a taxi at almost six o 'clock, because the restaurant Gu Panman mentioned was not far from his current location. It would only take a few minutes to take a taxi.
While Chen Xing was walking, he didn't notice that after a woman in a cafe next to him saw him, she was momentarily absent-minded. She even rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After looking at Chen Xing through the glass several times, the woman looked a little excited, but there was some uncertainty on her face.
Yang Hong, what's wrong with you? The woman's companion looked at Yang Hong strangely. When she followed Yang Hong's gaze and looked out, because Chen Xing's figure had been blocked by someone, she didn't see Chen Xing.
Yuxuan, it's nothing. Yang Hong shook her head and glanced at Zhao Yuxuan. She quickly calmed down.
Of course it's nothing. You suddenly looked absent-minded and stared out of the window. If you didn't see something, no one would believe that you would be like that. Zhao Yuxuan laughed and scolded her.
He really wasn't. He just saw someone who looked like an old friend, so he was a little absent-minded. Yang Hong smiled. She didn't want to tell Zhao Yuxuan that the person she saw just now looked like Chen Xing. It might even be Chen Xing. She didn't believe that there could be two people in this world who looked so similar.
Zhao Yuxuan was now the Secretary of the Huoju Industrial Zone's Working Committee. Huoju Industrial Zone was originally a manufacturing zone. Zhao Yuxuan was recommended by Sun Ying and accepted by Chen Xing before he was put in charge of the manufacturing zone. It could be said that Zhao Yuxuan was the only person in the city who could satisfy Chen Xing and not cause any resistance from the local cadres. This was not only due to Zhao Yuxuan's advantage as a female cadre, but also because he was Sun Ying's disciple. After Chen Xing left, Sun Ying was still the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Therefore, Zhao Yuxuan was still the Head of the Industrial Zone.
Zhao Yuxuan could naturally recognize Chen Xing. It was a pity that she didn't notice him just now.
At this moment, after Yang Hong dealt with Zhao Yuxuan, she chatted with Zhao Yuxuan absent-mindedly for a while. Then, she excused herself from Zhao Yuxuan with the excuse that she had something to do at the company.
