Chen Xing wanted to say something, but his phone stopped ringing. He picked it up and saw that Zhang Yi had hung up.
Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This brother-in-law of his was a man of few words. He didn't even bother to speak.
Shaking his head, Chen Xing didn't call Zhang Yi again. He knew Zhang Yi very well. If he could help, Zhang Yi would do it without hesitation. Since Zhang Yi asked him to look for Zhang Ming, it meant that Zhang Ming's connections in the SARFT were not bad.
Without thinking much, Chen Xing dialed Zhang Ming's number. Chen Xing was used to looking for Zhang Yi whenever something happened to his two brothers-in-law. Deep in his heart, he felt that Zhang Yi was more suitable to talk to.
Oh, Chen Xing, did the sun rise from the west today? Why did you call me? The call went through, and Zhang Ming teased.
Brother Ming, what are you talking about? What's so strange about me calling you? Chen Xing laughed.
Fine, you must have a reason to call me. If not, you won't call me. Zhang Ming laughed. If you have something to say, just say it. We are family, there's no need to beat around the bush.
Fine, I'll say it. If I want you to introduce me to the leader of the SARFT, I need someone who has a say in it. Chen Xing said.
Just this? I thought it was something important. Wait for my call, I'll help you ask first. It's a small matter.
After the call with Zhang Ming, Chen Xing could not help but sigh. This was not an easy task for local officials like them, but from Zhang Ming's mouth, it was a rather simple matter. This was a matter of one's social circle and connections. It was not easy for local people to find connections in the capital, but the children of the rich and powerful in the capital could easily do it. It was no wonder that so many red-top intermediaries who acted as political brokers could do so well in the capital.
Chen Xing was still sighing when Zhang Ming called. Chen Xing, I've helped you make an appointment with a deputy bureau chief. How is it? Is it enough? If not, we'll give up some face and see if we can make an appointment with the bureau chief.
That's enough. Brother Ming, you're too efficient. Chen Xing was amazed.
Do you know how many deputy bureau chiefs there are in the SARFT? Seven deputy bureau chiefs! If it's not easy to make an appointment with a deputy bureau chief, then there's no point in doing business. Zhang Ming said with a smile. The reason why he was able to help Chen Xing find a deputy bureau chief so quickly was that he had previously invested in an entertainment company. Although he had invested in it for fun, his purpose was to make it convenient for him to chat with those popular female stars late at night and talk about life. However, it was precisely because he had invested in an entertainment company that he had relatively more dealings with the leaders of the SARFT. Therefore, he had quite a few connections in this area and was able to find someone directly.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Ming asked about Chen Xing's business. When he learned that it was just to apply for the Golden Tripod Award, Zhang Ming lost interest. In his eyes, this kind of thing was purely a trivial matter. Naturally, Zhang Ming didn't want to join in the fun.
After giving Chen Xing the contact information of the deputy bureau chief, Zhang Ming said on the phone, "I've already mentioned it to Deputy Bureau Chief Ye. You can contact him directly when you're free.
Okay, I'll keep it in mind. Thank you, Brother Ming. " Chen Xing smiled.
"We're family. Don't be so polite to me." "Well, that's all. Contact me again if there's anything else." Zhang Ming hung up the phone with a smile.
After talking on the phone, Chen Xing sat in the living room for a while. When he was about to get up, he heard the sound of the door opening. Looking at the time, Chen Xing guessed that his mother might be back with the little fellow. So, he hurried to open the door.
Chen Xing opened the door from the inside. As expected, his mother and son were outside the door. Seeing Chen Xing, Zou Fang was obviously stunned. "When did you come back?" "Why didn't you call me first?"
"I just got home and didn't see you, so I guessed you must have taken the little fellow to the park to play." Chen Xing smiled and picked up his son. "Come on, Chengye, call me Daddy."
Chen Xing looked at his son eagerly. Unfortunately, the little fellow looked around and giggled, but didn't call him.
"You haven't been home for a long time. Of course, your son won't be close to you." Zou Fang smiled and looked at her lovely grandson. "Chengye, come on, call me Grandma."
The little fellow's childish voice immediately rang out.
Seeing this, Chen Xing smiled bitterly. "This little brat, so young, already knows how to go against his father."
"Mom, will it be too boring for you to be alone in the capital? Why don't you ask my father to retire early and let him come to the capital?" Chen Xing looked at his mother and asked.
"It's impossible for your father to agree. He said it was too boring to stay in the capital. During the two months of the summer vacation, he also came to the capital. When he went back, he told me that it was more comfortable to stay in Hai City. He was so bored in the capital that he couldn't even find an acquaintance to chat with." Zou Fang shook her head with a smile. "Besides, he is reluctant to give up his job. He is now the vice principal, and his job is very easy. In the school, he is almost praised to the sky. Outside, he is also respected everywhere, which makes him so proud that he is willing to retire early."
"I didn't expect that my father is living a good life alone in Hai City." Chen Xing smiled.
"Yes, it's actually your fault. If you didn't become an official, your father wouldn't be able to be proud." Zou Fang smiled. Although she said so, she was also proud of her son's achievements today.
Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. In the end, he had to be blamed. However, Chen Xing also knew that his mother was right. Because of him, his father did have a high status in the school. Even outside the school, there were a lot of people waiting to curry favor with him. In fact, if it weren't for him, his father might have been promoted to a leader in the Education Bureau.
As the mother and son were talking, Zou Fang looked at the time and said, "I have to cook the rice first, in case it's too late to eat tonight."
"Mom, don't cook. We'll go out to eat tonight. It's rare for the family to be together. Let's go out and improve the food." Chen Xing smiled.
"As the mayor, you eat fish and meat every day. Do you still need to improve the food?" Zou Fang scolded with a smile.
"Mom, you've wronged me. How can I eat fish and meat every day?" "As the mayor, I eat three ordinary meals a day, okay?" Chen Xing complained.
"That's right. You've become such a high-ranking official. If I let you go to the hotel every day, you'll get tired of it." Zou Fang smiled and nodded.
