Kaiyuan Hotel was a four-star hotel located in the center of Jiang City. It was not far from the Municipal Government. Chen Xing, who didn't want to stay in any particular hotel, chose to stay here after seeing the good environment of this hotel.
After putting down his luggage in the room, Chen Xing looked at the time and waited for Huang Kunming's arrival.
Jiang City was very large and there were many offices in the city. Because it was the provincial capital and the administrative center of Jianghai Province, in addition to the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, the departments of the municipal organs, and the institutions directly under the city, there were also the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial government, the provincial departments, the state-owned enterprises and institutions directly under the province, the offices of the central agencies in Jianghai, and so on. It could be said that compared with other cities in the province, Jiang City was not short of office buildings and cars with special license plates.
After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Xing heard a knock on the door. He went to open the door and saw Huang Kunming standing outside.
"Minister Kunming is here. Please come in." Chen Xing smiled warmly.
Huang Kunming came up alone. He asked the driver and secretary to wait downstairs. After entering the room, Huang Kunming looked around casually and smiled. This hotel room was not bad.
After all, it was a four-star hotel. It couldn't be too shabby. Chen Xing smiled slightly.
There was a beige sofa near the window in the room. It matched the layout of the whole room and looked quite stylish. Sitting on the sofa, one could also enjoy the beautiful city outside the whole floor-to-ceiling window.
Chen Xing politely invited Huang Kunming to take a seat. He brought some tea in his bag and got up to boil water.
"There is no need to make tea. I have to attend an activity at 3: 30." Seeing Chen Xing take out tea, Huang Kunming smiled and waved his hand.
Hearing this, Chen Xing looked at the time subconsciously. It was about 2: 30. It seemed that Huang Kunming took the time to come here.
"Chen Xing, time really flies." Huang Kunming looked at Chen Xing and sighed.
"Time flies. The days when he worked in Xi Men seemed like yesterday. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye." Chen Xing nodded.
It hasn't been many years. Looking at you, I know that I'm really old.
I don't quite agree with Minister Kunming's words. When it comes to old age, it has nothing to do with you. I think Minister Kunming is still as young as before. Chen Xing said with a smile. He was not trying to flatter Huang Kunming. Huang Kunming's appearance was just like that. He had black hair and the wrinkles on his face were not obvious. He was not much different from a few years ago.
Regardless of whether Chen Xing's words were flattering or not, they were always pleasant to hear. Huang Kunming also had a smile on his face. However, Huang Kunming was very wise to not continue this topic. Otherwise, talking about youth with Chen Xing would be asking for trouble. At his age, when he saw Chen Xing's current level of achievement, he could only sigh in his heart.
Huang Kunming was 55 years old this year. According to his rank, he would have to retire to the second line at the age of 60 unless he could cross the threshold of the ministerial level to work for another five years. However, it was obviously very difficult. Huang Kunming probably knew that it was difficult for him to have such an opportunity. When an official reached such a level, sometimes, in addition to background and ability, one could not deny the importance of luck.
"Chen Xing, you should be familiar with Jiang City this time." Huang Kunming said with a smile.
"Fortunately, I stayed in Jiang City for a period of time. However, at that time, I mostly dealt with the departments of the provincial government. I am not very familiar with the situation in the city."
"That's true. To be honest, you haven't been Secretary Mingfang's secretary for a long time."
As they talked, the water beside them boiled. Chen Xing also stood up to get some water and said with a smile, "Minister Kunming, are you sure you don't want a cup of tea? I got this tea from my father-in-law. "
"No, drinking tea not only depends on the environment, but also the state of mind. I have to rush to participate in the activity later. I always feel that I have something unfinished and can't calm down and enjoy the tea slowly." Huang Kunming shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "But if I know about your tea, I can't go back empty-handed. Since I don't have a chance to drink it here, you have to bring some back for me to enjoy slowly."
"Secretary Kunming, if you like it, you can take it all. Anyway, I am not particularly knowledgeable about tea." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Chen Xing, I will be polite with you for other things, but I will not be polite with you for the tea." Huang Kunming glanced at the tea that Chen Xing took out from his bag. Seeing that it was not a lot, Huang Kunming did not stand on ceremony. This was the tea that Chen Xing got from his father-in-law, Zhang Guohua. It was good stuff.
The two chatted for a while. Huang Kunming looked at the time from time to time. After sitting for about 20 minutes, he said with a smile, "Chen Xing, I have to go. Anyway, in the future when you are in Jiang City, we will have many opportunities to come out and have a chat."
"Okay, let's find some free time next time and have a good chat." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and stood up to see Huang Kunming out.
"Hold on, Chen Xing, you don't have to see me out. I can go downstairs by myself." Outside the door, Huang Kunming said with a smile.
"It's okay, I will send Minister Kunming downstairs."
"Chen Xing, you are treating me like an outsider. If I say no, I won't do it."
Huang Kunming's attitude was quite firm. Seeing this, Chen Xing did not insist anymore. He could roughly guess Huang Kunming's intention. Huang Kunming was the Minister of the Organization Department. In this provincial city, there must be many people who knew Huang Kunming. Moreover, he was the soon-to-be Mayor of Jiang City. Although there was nothing between them, if someone saw this, it would inevitably give rise to some rumors.
"Minister Kunming, take care." Chen Xing said.
Huang Kunming smiled and waved his hand. Soon, he took the elevator down. Chen Xing turned around and returned to the room. After sitting down again, he saw a document on the table. Chen Xing was stunned. Did Huang Kunming forget to take this with him?
Picking up the document, Chen Xing hurriedly walked out while taking out his mobile phone to call Huang Kunming. When he casually glanced at the top page of the document, Chen Xing was stunned and put down his mobile phone slightly. On the document were some information about the current main leaders of Jiang City. Of course, they were all public information and did not involve any secrets. It was just that Huang Kunming's document was specially organized and complete.
Frowning slightly, Chen Xing roughly remembered that when he was taking the water just now, Huang Kunming seemed to have casually put the document on the table. At that time, he did not pay attention to it. At this moment, Huang Kunming did not take it away. Combined with the content of this document, how could Chen Xing not understand that Huang Kunming did not forget to take it away, but deliberately left it for him.
Sitting down again, Chen Xing quietly looked at the document. Although this information was information that could be obtained through public channels, someone had organized it for him. Obviously, it could help him understand the situation of the party and government leaders of Jiang City faster and save him the trouble of asking people to collect and understand.
There was no doubt that the point of Huang Kunming giving him such a seemingly easy to understand information was not the information itself, but a kind of signal that Huang Kunming wanted to send.
After quickly skimming through the document, Chen Xing silently pondered for a while and sent a message to Huang Kunming. The message was also to express his gratitude.
Putting away the document, Chen Xing looked at the time. It was still early and it was boring to stay in the house, so Chen Xing simply went downstairs for a walk.
The streets of Jiang City were very clean, and the city planning was in place. Whether in terms of hardware conditions or software facilities, Jiang City was ranked first among the coastal cities. Over the years, although Hai City could be compared to Jiang City in terms of economy, there were two aspects that Hai City could not compare to. That was the medical and educational conditions. As the provincial capital, Jiang City naturally had the best medical and educational resources in the province. The number of key tertiary hospitals and key universities here was not something that Hai City could compare to.
Walking on the street, Chen Xing thought about something while looking at the scenery along the street. Since Huang Kunming had taken the initiative to send him a friendly signal, and he had also interacted with Huang Kunming in the past, although their friendship was not particularly good, it was not bad either. Huang Kunming might become a help in the future.
Thinking about it, Chen Xing walked to the entrance of a shopping mall. A sudden voice from the side made Chen Xing come back to his senses.
Surnamed Chen, is that you?
The other party's voice was somewhat doubtful. He was not very sure that it was Chen Xing. It was not until Chen Xing turned his head that the other party confirmed that he had not mistaken him.
At this moment, Chen Xing finally saw who it was. Lin Mao!
Lin Mao still looked sloppy. It had been several years. Except for a little beard on Lin Mao's face, he was still the same. As for the small beard that Lin Mao had left, Chen Xing was more willing to believe that it was deliberately done by Lin Mao to show off, rather than to make himself more mature. From the posture of Lin Mao holding a young and beautiful girl, Chen Xing could see that Lin Mao had not changed at all.
Surnamed Chen, did the sun rise from the west today? I can't believe I saw you on the streets of Jiang City. Lin Mao glanced sideways at Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing was looking at him, he said in a strange tone.
It must be the sun rising from the west that I can meet you. Chen Xing glanced at Lin Mao with a cold smile. Lin Mao, it seems that you are still the same.
This Young Master has food and drinks every day, and there are beauties to flirt with. My days are happy, so of course it's the same as before. As for you, why did I hear that you made some mistakes in the past two years? It seems like you've been transferred to god knows where, and there's no news of you at all. Lin Mao sneered.
Is that so? Then your news is a little outdated. It seems that besides eating, drinking and playing, you have little communication with your father. Chen Xing glanced at Lin Mao coldly. He did not want to talk to Lin Mao anymore. Talking to this person, Chen Xing now felt that it was a waste of his saliva.
Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and walked away. His disregard made Lin Mao furious. He pointed at Chen Xing and said, "Surnamed Chen, you …"
