Mayor Chen, let's go. Ni Jiali smiled when she saw Chen Xing standing there.
Ms. Ni, are you sure you're okay? Chen Xing muttered to himself, "Why don't we do it another day?"
Mayor Chen, I'm fine tonight. I can do it. Ni Jiali said hurriedly. It was rare to have such an opportunity to climb the mountain with Chen Xing tonight. She did not want to miss it. If it was another day, Ni Jiali knew that this so-called 'another day' would probably take forever.
Chen Xing saw Ni Jiali insisted and didn't say anything else. It was the first time he saw someone climbing the mountain barefoot at night.
Mayor Chen, you don't have to worry. Although we're taking a shortcut, it's all bluestone steps. It's not the kind of mountain road that's covered with mud and pebbles. Ni Jiali said.
Hearing those words, Chen Xing nodded his head. That was fine.
After they finished talking, they didn't waste any more time. They walked up the steps that Ni Jiali mentioned. Just as Ni Jiali said, they were all bluestone steps and there were street lights on both sides.
Chen Xing had never been to Nanshan Hill. It was the first time he came here tonight. He couldn't help but nod when he saw that the basic facilities of Nanshan Hill were so well-built.
Most of them were local tourists in the city. Some people didn't like to go to noisy places like bars or karaoke at night. They liked this kind of secluded place. They could invite a few friends to order a pot of tea at the tea house on the mountain. They could enjoy the mountain breeze, chat, and enjoy the scenery. Ni Jiali smiled.
That's true. It's summer now. It's really suitable to cool down on the mountain at night. Chen Xing smiled.
The two of them talked as they climbed the stone steps. As the only mountain in the city center, and one with beautiful scenery, the commercial development on Nanshan Hill was actually very mature. Not only were there some man-made attractions on the mountain, but there were also all kinds of tea houses, cafes, and all kinds of drinks and exquisite snacks. There was even a high-end hotel.
Thanks to the mature commercial development on the mountain, the entire Nanshan Hill was well-equipped with all kinds of infrastructure. The roads were wide, the street lighting system was perfect, and there were pavilions along the mountain for people to rest. Even the small mountain road that Chen Xing and the others were climbing had a street lamp every five meters. However, at this time, not many people used this road.
People nowadays were getting lazier. They preferred to go up the mountain by car. Very few people would climb up slowly. Oh, except for those who specially train their bodies … Ah … Before Ni Jiali could finish her sentence, she suddenly let out a scream and fell backward.
Chen Xing, who was a step behind Ni Jiali, jumped in fright. If she were to fall, she would roll down the stone steps like a rolling gourd. Without any hesitation, Chen Xing hurriedly reached out to catch Ni Jiali who was falling backward.
Ni Jiali was slim. Originally, Chen Xing thought that Ni Jiali wouldn't be heavy. After this hug, Chen Xing realized that he was wrong. Ni Jiali's weight was not light at all. He took a step back and almost lost his footing. It was so thrilling.
Just as he steadied himself, Chen Xing's eyes widened in shock. It was one thing for the two of them to be in a bear hug, but to think that their mouths were touching so intimately. Furthermore, there seemed to be something wrong with the place he was touching. It was soft and bouncy. Chen Xing subconsciously pinched it, but he immediately felt awkward. He already knew where he was pinching. "Oh?
Ahem, President Ni, it's okay now. Chen Xing quietly pushed Ni Jiali away. He looked rather embarrassed. Fortunately, the street lights were not particularly bright at night. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed as the mayor.
Chen Xing secretly felt embarrassed. Ni Jiali's face was also red. She didn't even dare to look at Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, I stepped on a sharp stone just now. It was a little prickly. When I tried to tiptoe, I lost my balance.
Well, it's good that you're fine. Seeing that Ni Jiali took the initiative to avoid the awkward topic, Chen Xing was slightly relieved. President Ni, I told you that it's not feasible to climb the mountain barefooted.
It's okay. Just be careful later. You can put on your high heels when you climb the mountain. Ni Jiali smiled. She was still a little embarrassed. She quietly glanced at Chen Xing. She didn't know what Chen Xing would think of her. In all honesty, she definitely didn't 'throw herself into his arms' on purpose. She did insist on climbing the mountain at night because she wanted to get closer to Chen Xing. However, that was only to show her face in front of the leader and get closer to him. There was no other special intention at all.
The reason why Ni Jiali wanted to have a good relationship with the leader was very simple. It was because the competition for her position in the Jiangcheng Hotel was too fierce. Although she was now the Deputy General Manager, it was not easy to be in this position. In fact, in the entire Jiangcheng Hotel, except for Zhao Zhenyue, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office and the General Manager, who was as stable as a mountain, the middle and senior managers faced various assessments every year. At the same time, they also faced some people who were forced to take their positions because of their connections. Because they were external managers, they had no establishment. Unlike Zhao Zhenyue, Ni Jiali was not so secure as the Deputy General Manager.
Except for Chen Xing, Ni Jiali did her best for every leader who came to the Jiangcheng Hotel, not only in front of Chen Xing. Because Chen Xing was currently living in the Jiangcheng Hotel, she also had more opportunities to get in touch with him. As long as she had a good relationship with these main leaders in the city, even if it was just to leave a good impression on them, sometimes it could often help her a lot. If someone wanted to take her position, the leader could solve her problem immediately with a casual word.
After what happened just now, the two of them were more or less unnatural when they got along with each other again. Fortunately, as time passed, this awkward atmosphere was diluted.
After climbing to the mountain, Ni Jiali immediately put on her high heels. Mayor Chen, there is a mountain rock in front of you. Standing on it, you can have a good view of the entire Jiangcheng Hotel. Moreover, there are very few people there.
Let's go and have a look. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Following Ni Jiali, Chen Xing was also looking at the scenery on the mountain. The whole mountain was covered with stone bricks and cement roads, and there were all kinds of leisure shops. It made people feel that they were not on the mountain, but in a holiday resort.
Mayor Chen, look. Standing on it, you can have a good view of the Jiangcheng Hotel. When they arrived at their destination, Ni Jiali was full of smiles.
Chen Xing nodded and looked down at the night view of the Jiangcheng Hotel. Looking at the charming Jiangcheng Hotel at night, he was speechless for a long time.
Mayor Chen, you are the mayor. Looking at the city under your feet, how do you feel? Ni Jiali looked at Chen Xing curiously.
If she had to describe her feelings at this moment, it would be majestic, beautiful, and spectacular. Chen Xing smiled faintly. There were many high-rise buildings in Jiangcheng Hotel. At night, these high-rise buildings that were lit up with brilliant lights were like pearls in the city. They stood tall and straight, illuminating the night sky. They looked spectacular and gorgeous, and they complemented the whole city.
In the past, Jiangcheng Hotel was considered an important economic town along the southeast coast. However, in the past ten years, Jiangcheng Hotel has fallen behind. At present, it can only compete with its brother cities in the province for the title of first. I don't know who said that the past ten years were the lost years of Jiangcheng Hotel. Ni Jiali looked at Chen Xing and didn't know why she said such words.
The lost years? Chen Xing frowned slightly and then smiled. These words were quite appropriate for Jiangcheng Hotel.
Ni Jiali obviously didn't expect that the mayor, Chen Xing, would agree with her words. She looked at Chen Xing in surprise. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, Ni Jiali also stayed silent. Ni Jiali regretted what she said just now. It wasn't appropriate to say such words in front of Chen Xing. Fortunately, Chen Xing wasn't angry. Otherwise, all her efforts to show off in front of Chen Xing would be in vain.
Standing quietly beside Chen Xing, Ni Jiali looked at Chen Xing from the side of her face from time to time. She was curious about what this man, who was considered one of the most powerful people in Jiangcheng Hotel, was thinking at this moment. It was both a blessing and a challenge to be the mayor of Jiangcheng Hotel. Ni Jiali knew better than anyone how difficult it was to be the mayor of Jiangcheng Hotel. Currently, Jiangcheng Hotel was facing a lack of development and transformation. How to get out of the trough, solve the contradiction of industrial upgrading, and find a new growth point that was suitable for the actual situation of Jiangcheng Hotel? These were the big problems that Mayor Chen Xing had to face. They tested Chen Xing's wisdom.
Chen Xing was the youngest mayor in the history of Jiangcheng Hotel, a sub-provincial city. Could he give a satisfactory answer?
