Chen Xing was looking at Lin Qing, and Lin Qing was also looking at Chen Xing with a faint smile on her face.
After a short silence, Chen Xing looked at Lin Qing and said with a smile, "Boss Lin, if I am really interested, how will you help me?
It depends on whether Mayor Chen is determined to get it. If you are determined to fight for it, I will naturally do my best to help you. Of course, Mayor Chen, you should also know that everything has a price. " Lin Qing looked at Chen Xing with a playful smile. There was a hint of joy in her eyes. She was a little tempted by Chen Xing's attitude.
She was not afraid of Chen Xing's desire. She was afraid that Chen Xing would not have any desire. This was what Lin Qing thought. As long as Chen Xing had enough ambition and desire, Lin Qing felt that her chances of success would be higher.
Lin Qing's words made Chen Xing's expression turn serious. What price?
Haha, Mayor Chen, don't be so serious. I am just saying this first. I have not thought about what I want Mayor Chen to help me with. We can talk about this later. Lin Qing smiled. She was afraid that her words would scare Chen Xing away, so she couldn't help but take a step back.
Of course, Mayor Chen, you don't have to worry. As long as you are willing to fight for it, I will immediately help you. Lin Qing continued.
If you don't tell me the price, I really don't dare to agree. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor Chen, we are old friends. Do you think I will cheat you? Lin Qing smiled and blinked her eyes.
Nowadays, people who cheat people only target their friends! Chen Xing murmured in his heart.
Although he was thinking about it, Chen Xing didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "Boss Lin, you only said that you will help me, but you didn't say how. Moreover, I don't know what connections you have. To be honest, I am not confident at all. You should know that this is an important position at the deputy provincial level. It is not an ordinary prefecture-level position. Without connections with the higher-ups, it will be very difficult to get it done.
What connections do you have with the higher-ups? Mayor Chen, this is my personal secret. I need this position to make a living, so I can't tell you. " Lin Qing smiled. She didn't intend to answer Chen Xing directly. She couldn't, because this was indeed a secret to her.
Alright, pretend that I didn't ask anything. Chen Xing smiled and shrugged.
Well, Mayor Chen, are you interested in fighting for this position? Lin Qing looked at Chen Xing.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested at all. But how do I know if Boss Lin can guarantee the success of my operation? If it doesn't work out in the end, or if Boss Lin doesn't help me at all, and I have to pay the price, won't I suffer a great loss in the end?
Don't worry, Mayor Chen. Since I dare to help you fight for it, then I have a high chance of winning. Lin Qing said confidently. "
Lin Qing's words surprised Chen Xing once again. He could feel that even though Lin Qing said that there was a high chance of success, she was just holding back. He could feel that Lin Qing was extremely confident and confident. Perhaps his feeling was not completely correct, but the confidence that Lin Qing displayed was definitely not wrong.
Chen Xing looked at Lin Qing meaningfully. Tonight, Lin Qing made Chen Xing feel as if he had seen a stranger. In other words, he saw a new side of Lin Qing.
After taking a few more glances at Lin Qing, Chen Xing suppressed the doubts in his heart and shook his head with a smile. President Lin, although I am very interested in the position of Secretary, I still prefer to fight for it openly. Hence, I thank you for your kind intentions this time.
Oh? Lin Qing looked at Chen Xing in surprise. She couldn't wrap her head around it. Chen Xing actually declined in the end? It should be noted that if Chen Xing could compete for the promotion from mayor to secretary this time, he might save several years of time. For officials who had reached a certain level in the officialdom, precious time meant political life. Sometimes, at the critical moment of deciding whether one could be promoted or demoted, the difference was often just a year or two.
If Chen Xing hadn't asked so many questions just now, perhaps Lin Qing wouldn't have been so surprised at this moment. However, Chen Xing had asked so many questions just now and had shown great interest and concern. This was the mentality of someone who wanted to compete but was also worried about personal gains and losses. With this mentality, Lin Qing felt that Chen Xing had already taken the bait. This was like a speeding car that had accelerated halfway and suddenly stopped. This made Lin Qing feel dizzy.
Lin Qing looked at Chen Xing calmly. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her, but she didn't ask why. Otherwise, it would only arouse suspicion.
In a split second, the smile on Lin Qing's face didn't change at all, as though nothing had happened. She looked at Chen Xing with a smile and said, "I didn't expect Mayor Chen to be a gentleman. There are too few officials like you nowadays."
Boss Lin, don't praise me like this. Otherwise, I will be so happy that I don't know where I am. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. To be honest, I don't think I'm qualified to compete for the position. Therefore, I don't want to waste my energy and time. It's better for me to do my job properly.
It's not that Mayor Chen doesn't have the right to compete. It's just that he is too modest. Lin Qing smiled and didn't mention what had happened just now.
For the rest of the time, the two of them continued to drink and chat. Lin Qing didn't talk about this matter until the end of the meal. She was more like an old friend of Chen Xing. They only talked about romantic things.
The meal lasted for almost an hour. Lin Qing was very talkative. She could talk about any topic. She could even tell a few dirty jokes to liven up the atmosphere. Even Chen Xing had to admit that people like Lin Qing could easily make friends with others. She was definitely good at socializing.
Boss Lin, you don't have to see me out anymore. Including tonight's meal, you've treated me twice recently. I'm a little embarrassed. Next time, I should treat you. After the meal, Chen Xing asked Lin Qing to stay and said with a smile.
It's my honor to treat Mayor Chen to a meal. Mayor Chen, you don't have to be so polite. Lin Qing smiled and shook her head.
Fine, then I won't say anymore, lest I, a man, become too pretentious. Chen Xing smiled. But I have to treat you in two days. Boss Lin, you won't leave Jiangcheng so soon, right?
Mayor Chen wants to treat me to a meal. It's worth it for me to stay for one or two days. Lin Qing smiled charmingly.
Okay, it's a deal. I'll treat you to a meal in two days. Chen Xing said happily.
The two of them parted in laughter. Chen Xing told Lin Qing not to send him downstairs. He entered the elevator alone. Before the elevator door closed, Chen Xing smiled and waved at Lin Qing.
