After a moment of silence, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Let's eat. We can take our time with Zeng Jing. There is no hurry."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Wu Gang nodded. He knew that Chen Xing had just taken office and was still at the stage of familiarizing himself with the work. It was impossible for him to intervene in the personnel affairs so soon.
The two of them chatted as they ate. Chen Xing knew that Wu Gang had not been doing well in the past two years. That was because Wu Gang had often complained to him on the phone. However, at that time, it was more of a normal complaint between friends. Wu Gang had never made any requests to him. Now that he had come to Rivertown, it was better to keep some things in his heart. There was no need for him to say it out.
However, from Wu Gang's matter, Chen Xing could already feel the complicated political environment in Jiang City. When Wu Gang was not happy before, he specially introduced Huang Kunming to Wu Gang. Chen Xing undoubtedly hoped to find a backer for Wu Gang. But with Huang Kunming's identity and status, he did not help Wu Gang, which really surprised Chen Xing. Of course, it could not rule out the possibility that Wu Gang's status was too low to be appreciated by Huang Kunming, so Huang Kunming was not willing to make efforts to help.
In addition, another possibility was that someone in Jiang City was deliberately obstructing them in the dark. As a sub-provincial city, it was not uncommon for some greetings from the province to be ignored in Jiang City. This was related to the political status of Jiang City. The leader of Jiang City ranked higher than most of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the weight of the mayor was no less than that of the ordinary deputy governor. This also gave Jiang City a high and mighty mentality. When it reflected on the cadres, it was a kind of arrogance that was cultivated in their bones. It could be imagined that the greetings of some provincial leaders would be ignored in Jiang City.
Except for the two leaders in the province, it was hard to say whether the city would be willing to accept the greetings of others.
By the way, Wu Gang, how much do you know about Ma Xiaoning? Chen Xing suddenly asked.
Ma Xiaoning? You are asking about Director Ma of the Government Office?
Well …
I haven't had any contact with this Director Ma, so I don't know much about him. However, I do know that this Director Ma has served two mayors. Oh, I'm wrong. Including you, the new mayor, he is the third.
Having served two mayors, Ma Xiaoning was not a simple person. A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Xing's eyes.
Hmm, to be honest, Director Ma could be considered a Roly-Poly Doll of the Municipal Government.
Hearing Wu Gang's words, Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully. The position of the director of the Municipal Government Office could be regarded as the mayor's housekeeper. Every mayor was used to replacing the person in this position with someone he trusted and could use easily. Ma Xiaoning had been appointed as the director of the Municipal Government Office after two mayors, which showed that she was very capable.
As they ate and chatted, the two of them ate until eight o 'clock. During the meal, they even ordered a bottle of wine and had a few drinks in high spirits.
Chen Xing had asked the driver to leave before he came over. After the meal, he and Wu Gang strolled slowly along the road in Jiang City.
Talking about the past, the two of them couldn't help sighing. When they were studying at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, neither of them expected that one day, Chen Xing would become the mayor of Jiang City!
"Did my sister-in-law follow you to Jiang City to work?" Walking on the road, Chen Xing asked.
"Well, she works in a state-owned enterprise. It's easy for me to transfer her position by using some connections. When I came to Jiang City, she followed me." Wu Gang smiled. Although there were some disappointments in the city, it was not necessarily a bad thing. At least, the child could receive a better education. After all, the educational conditions in the city could not be compared with those in the county. As parents, we worked hard for the sake of the child. If the child could be successful in the future, it would be enough. So sometimes when I think about it, I don't have to compete with others. "
"I didn't know that you had a lot of life insights after two years of leisure." Chen Xing said with a smile.
It was not enlightenment. After being disheartened, he focused all his energy on his family and son.
In fact, what you said was right. As a parent, ultimately, it was for the sake of the child. Chen Xing nodded in agreement. Now that he was also the child's father, he agreed with Wu Gang's words.
The two of them walked along the road for a while. Unknowingly, it was past nine o 'clock. Chen Xing checked the time and was about to say goodbye to Wu Gang. Suddenly, a police car stopped beside them.
It was Zeng Jing who got out of the police car. When Wu Gang and Chen Xing saw Zeng Jing, they were both stunned. They didn't expect to meet Zeng Jing at this time.
"Why are you two men so leisurely and elegant? How dare you stroll on the street in the middle of the night. If I didn't notice you just now, I wouldn't have seen you." Zeng Jing walked towards them with a smile on his face.
"Zeng Jing, haven't you gotten off work?" Wu Gang didn't answer but asked.
"Not yet. I just went to deal with a car accident." Zeng Jing shrugged and was about to go back. He would get off work soon.
"This is outrageous. How did the leader of your team arrange it? You are a single mother. It's fine if they don't take care of you, but they always make you work overtime at night. It's so inhumane." Wu Gang said angrily. As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xing. Undoubtedly, he said this to show Chen Xing.
"Nothing." Zeng Jing smiled. He was very open-minded. This was what traffic police were like.
"Chen Xing, I haven't congratulated you yet. In the blink of an eye, you have become the big leader above us." At this time, Zeng Jing looked at Chen Xing and said with a smile.
"I told you before that I wanted to work in Jiang City. You didn't believe me. Now, do you believe me?" Chen Xing joked.
"I believe you. Now I don't dare to not believe you. Otherwise, I am afraid that you, the mayor, will criticize me and ask me to write a self-criticism." Zeng Jing smiled brightly. After looking at the time, she didn't want to waste any more time. She said, "Where are you going? Do you need me to give you a ride?"
"No, we are just walking around. Shall we find a place to have a drink?" Wu Gang looked at Chen Xing and suggested.
"I want to, but I am in a hurry to go home. My son has a bad habit. He won't sleep at night without me in bed with him. I can't stay out late even if I want to." Zeng Jing smiled. "If you don't need me to give you a ride, I will drive away first."
"Well, you go first. Let's find another time to meet." Chen Xing nodded.
Hearing this, Zeng Jing smiled and nodded. She didn't stay any longer. She waved to them and got in the car first.
Watching Zeng Jing's car disappear in the traffic, Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and looked a little embarrassed.
