After sitting for a while, Kong Zhengliang stood up with a smile. "Well, it's time for me to go. I still have a lot of things to do."
Being a leader was like this. You were born to be busy. Unless you were those who did not do anything, it was not easy for you to do something. Chen Xing said with a smile. Both of them were in charge of the Municipal Government. Neither of them had more free time than the other. They were both busy people.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Kong Zhengliang smiled and nodded. After chatting with Chen Xing just now, he had a new understanding of Chen Xing. They were both people who wanted to do things, but Chen Xing was full of vigor. However, it was not surprising that Chen Xing was so young. If Chen Xing was already lifeless at this age, it would be strange.
After leaving Chen Xing's office, Kong Zhengliang thought about what Chen Xing had said just now and shook his head slightly. Chen Xing was full of vigor now, but he was afraid that it would not be so easy to achieve. Just like the current development model of Jiang City, everyone knew that Jiang City was now in an endless loop, but it was not so easy to change. In fact, it was not only Jiang City. Looking at the whole country, how many cities did not rely on real estate and government investment to maintain economic growth like Jiang City? This was not just a problem of the model, but also a problem of not advancing or falling back. No one wanted to see the economic growth rate go back.
However, Chen Xing was very aggressive, and Kong Zhengliang was happy to see this situation. If no one was willing to try to change, then there was really no hope. The current economic environment was very bad, but why was the private economy of Hai City still active? If the inflated economic data of Jiang City were excluded, in fact, Jiang City had been left behind by Hai City. Hai City was now the well-deserved number one economic city in Jianghai Province. Jiang City had been the leader for more than ten years, but now it had been handed over to others.
Compared to the glory of Sea City, the current situation of Rivertown was indeed worthy of reflection. However, many problems didn't arise overnight. Rome wasn't built in a day. The problems of Rivertown were accumulated over time. The previous government couldn't solve the problems and couldn't come up with any solutions. When it came to Chen Xing's term, Kong Zhengliang didn't know if Chen Xing's drive and drive could bring about any changes.
Time passed day by day. As Chen Xing and Kong Zhengliang finalized some details, the relevant departments of the city also started to work. A working group formed by the city began to select cultural enterprises within the city. A total of ten enterprises would be selected as the first batch of pilot enterprises to build key cultural brands in Jiang City. The scope of selection was not only for state-owned enterprises. Seven places for state-owned enterprises and three places for private enterprises had been announced to the public.
The leader of the working group was Executive Deputy Mayor Kong Zhengliang, which also made people realize the high standard this time and the unprecedented importance of the city.
Chen Xing spent his days busy every day, inspecting, researching, holding meetings, reviewing documents … These constituted the majority of Chen Xing's daily work. After coming to Jiang City for so many days, Chen Xing had not given himself a day off.
On Friday evening, when Chen Xing was still in his office, Yu Zhiyuan walked in with a strange expression. Mayor, Mr. Fang is here.
What is she doing here? When Chen Xing heard that it was Fang Pingping, he touched his forehead with a headache. It was not an easy thing to deal with Fang Pingping.
He was not sure. She did not say. She only said that she had an appointment with Mayor Chen. Yu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly. He stopped her outside. Even if she said that she had an appointment with Chen Xing, without Chen Xing's confirmation, he did not dare to let her in casually.
Appointment with me? Fang Pingping dared to say that. When did she have an appointment with me? Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really wanted to ask Yu Zhiyuan to send Fang Pingping away. However, if he really did that, he reckoned that before he could send Fang Pingping away, Fang Pingping would block his way and refuse to leave. If that happened, he didn't want to end up like Kong Zhengliang, who was blocked in his office by Liu Guangyuan and become a joke.
Mayor, do you want me to send her away? Yu Zhiyuan was the first to speak.
Forget it. Let her in. Chen Xing looked at the time. It was already time to get off work. Tomorrow was the weekend. Normally, as the mayor, he should enjoy a double day off. Unfortunately, he was busy all the time.
Fang Pingping invited him in. When Chen Xing saw her, he said, "Mr. Fang, when did you make an appointment with me? How dare you lie in my office? Aren't you afraid that I will ask someone to send you away?
Mayor, you are wronging me. We did make an appointment. " Fang Pingping blinked her red phoenix eyes. I think you, the mayor, are forgetful. That's why you forgot.
Then tell me, when did we make an appointment? Chen Xing stared at her. Fang Pingping dared to say this in front of him. He wanted to see how she could be so stubborn.
Mayor, have you forgotten? When I came to your office a few days ago, you promised to come and attend the internal party of our Performing Arts Group. The party is tonight. I know you must be too busy to remember, so I specially came to invite you. Fang Pingping smiled. "I sent someone to deliver the invitation the next day. I'm afraid you don't remember it, Mayor."
Hearing Fang Pingping's words, it was Chen Xing's turn to be dumbfounded. It was true. However, the invitation that Fang Pingping asked someone to send the next day had already been hidden under the document. At that time, he just glanced at it and put it aside. He did not care about it at all. He did not expect that Fang Pingping would come to his office to invite him today.
Mayor Chen, this is what you promised. You can't go back on your word tonight. Fang Pingping saw Chen Xing's expression and knew that Chen Xing did not keep it in mind at all. She was afraid that Chen Xing would not go, so she said hurriedly.
Chen Xing smiled bitterly. He thought that he had nothing to do tonight, so he had an appointment with Wu Gang and Zeng Jing. Today was Friday. The three of them planned to have a karaoke after dinner as a way to relax. He did not expect that he would forget about the Performing Arts Group.
Ahem, Mr. Fang, how about we go next time? Chen Xing coughed dryly.
Mayor Chen, we don't know when the next party will be. You can't go back on your word. Anyway, you have promised last time. If you don't go tonight, I will not leave. Fang Pingping twisted her body and walked to Chen Xing's desk. She directly sat on the chair, which was quite shameless.
Seeing Fang Pingping's attitude, Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to go.
Mr. Fang, your party won't start so soon, right? I haven't had dinner yet. How about this, when the party starts, I will go by myself. You can go first. Chen Xing thought for a while and said.
No, I will go with Mayor Chen. Otherwise, I am afraid that Mayor Chen will run away. If you say that you are not free later, I will have no place to cry. It is not easy to invite a big leader like you to attend the party. If you are not here, I will have no place to look for you. Fang Pingping curled her lips. She came in person because she was afraid that Chen Xing would be perfunctory with her. If Chen Xing really stood her up, she could not be angry. After all, it was one thing to take advantage of the position of a female cadre to throw a tantrum, but she did not dare to lose her temper at the mayor, Chen Xing.
Okay, then I will go with you. Seeing Fang Pingping's expression, Chen Xing had to surrender. He didn't know whether this Mr. Fang had practiced on purpose. Her every frown and smile were very attractive. Chen Xing was afraid that Mr. Fang would make a big move later. He didn't dare to let her pester him any longer. He had to agree. Anyway, it was just to watch the party. It was not a big deal.
Okay, then I will wait for Mayor Chen. Mayor Chen, if you are not finished, you can continue with your work. Hearing Chen Xing's agreement, Fang Pingping stood up sensibly.
Well, you can leave first. I will go out later. Chen Xing nodded.
Seeing that Fang Pingping went out, Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and called Wu Gang. He couldn't have dinner tonight, so he had to tell Wu Gang in advance, in case Wu Gang went to the party first.
Wu Gang was still in the office of the Water Conservancy Bureau. When Chen Xing called, Wu Gang did not answer the phone immediately, because he was arguing with someone. Because of the problem of using the allocated car, another deputy director of the water conservancy bureau, Cao Liang, thought that Wu Gang was deliberately going against him, so he directly scolded him in his office. Wu Gang, who had just come back from work in the afternoon, did not come to himself at first. It was not until he heard the scolding that Wu Gang slowly came to himself. After seeing the office director Pan Jing, who was gloating, Wu Gang immediately understood that Pan Jingzhi was playing tricks.
"Deputy Director Cao, you have scolded enough. Shouldn't you stop?" Hearing Cao Liang's harsh words, Wu Gang said with a sullen face.
"What's wrong with me scolding you? Wu Gang, don't you know how to appreciate favors? I usually don't care about you. Do you really think that you are a leader of the water conservancy bureau? I have booked the No. 3 car in the afternoon, but you directly drove it away. Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose? " Cao Liang said angrily.
"If your mouth is so dirty, I may even hit you." Wu Gang raised his eyebrows. After being scolded by Cao Liang, he was on the verge of exploding.
"Hey, how dare you hit me? Try it if you dare." Cao Liang glared at him.
