Zhang Ran, who had been quietly observing Chen Xing's expression, seemed to have guessed what Chen Xing was thinking at the moment and smiled. "Chen Xing, do you think I'm too open-minded now?"
"Uh?" Chen Xing was stunned by Zhang Ran's question. He glanced at Zhang Ran and suddenly realized that his thoughts had been guessed by Zhang Ran. Obviously, he couldn't answer this kind of question directly, so he could only shake his head indifferently. "No."
"Haha, do you think I don't know you? When you lie, you will move your eyebrows up." Zhang Ran looked at Chen Xing with a faint smile.
Chen Xing was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Ran to observe him so carefully. After so many years, Zhang Ran still knew a lot about him. However, after thinking about it, they had been lovers for four years in college and had been together day and night for four years. It would be strange if Zhang Ran didn't know him.
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't speak, Zhang Ran continued. "In fact, even if you answer yes, it doesn't matter. What I'm doing now, in the eyes of others, is not only open-minded, but also a little improper. I guess many people will talk about me behind my back."
Zhang Ran smiled carelessly. "Chen Xing, do you know what 'Free The Nipple' means?"
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded. Although his English was not good, it was not to the extent that he did not know some simple words. The 'Free The Niple' that Zhang Ran said meant 'Liberate Fu Fang'. Upon hearing Zhang Ran's words, Chen Xing immediately understood what Zhang Ran was trying to express.
"Last year, I went to Europe and traveled in Europe for half a year. At that time, I happened to see some women promoting this on the street. Some of them even took off their clothes to express their support for this. To be honest, I was quite shocked at that time. Later, I also learned that women don't wear clothes. It's healthier for them. " Zhang Ran smiled.
"Your life is getting more and more exciting." Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Ran.
"Of course, women don't have a long life, so they naturally have to treat themselves better. I can't live alone just because I'm divorced." Zhang Ran said proudly.
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Chen Xing didn't say anything. Playing with the delicate engraved hollowed cup on the table, Chen Xing was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhang Ran, I don't think you asked me out tonight just to treat me to a meal, right?"
What? Can't I just treat you to a meal? Zhang Ran looked at Chen Xing with burning eyes.
Of course I can. I'm just a little surprised. Chen Xing smiled.
Actually, the past was in the past. People had to look forward. Those who lived in the past were ultimately weak. Only the strong would always look forward and not be bound by the past. That was why people had to live free and unrestrained. Zhang Ran smiled sweetly.
Zhang Ran's words really surprised Chen Xing. Glancing at Zhang Ran, Chen Xing really didn't expect Zhang Ran to speak so eloquently, as if he was educating people.
Chen Xing, the position of the Secretary of Rivertown is still vacant, right? Maybe we can meet often in the future. Zhang Ran suddenly changed the topic and said.
"Hmm?" Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ran in confusion. For a moment, he didn't understand what Zhang Ran meant. After a long time, thinking of Zhang Yiping, Chen Xing seemed to understand. He looked at Zhang Ran calmly. "Your mother is going to be transferred to Rivertown?"
"I don't know, but everything is possible, right?" "My mother is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the top leader of Sea City. Isn't it reasonable for her to be transferred to Rivertown?" "In the province, there is no one more suitable and qualified for this position than my mother." Zhang Ran said confidently. It seemed that he had said too much, so Zhang Ran added, "Of course, I'm just saying what I think. It's not up to me to decide whether my mother can be transferred or not. It's just that I personally think my mother is the most qualified."
In Chen Xing's opinion, Zhang Ran's last explanation sounded a little like a lie. There was no doubt that as Zhang Yiping's daughter, Zhang Ran must know some inside information about Zhang Yiping. Could it be that Zhang Yiping had already received some news?
Guessing in his heart, Chen Xing thought that he hadn't heard any news until now. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. But thinking of how Zhang Yiping had been very diligent in running to the Provincial Capital recently, Chen Xing felt that this possibility could not be ruled out.
"Well, let's not talk about this. Chen Xing, to be honest, I did ask you out tonight because of something." Zhang Ran said with a smile.
"Go ahead." Chen Xing's expression didn't change, but he thought to himself, "As expected." He knew that Zhang Ran must have something to ask him.
"Chen Xing, I heard that the city is going to develop the urban village on Jiangling Street?" Zhang Ran asked.
"You're very well-informed. The city does have this plan." Chen Xing nodded.
"Chen Xing, I have a friend who is also interested in this piece of land. I don't know if you can take care of him." Zhang Ran looked at Chen Xing and finally revealed his purpose.
"Your friend?" Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Ran. "The development cost of the urban village on Jiangling Street is very high. Can your friend afford it?"
"How will you know if you don't try?" "Besides, as long as they can get the land, they naturally have the ability to develop it." Zhang Ran said.
"Them?" Chen Xing keenly noticed the details in Zhang Ran's words. "You have more than one friend?"
"Well, as you said, the development cost of the land on Jiangling Street is very high. They can't afford it alone, so several people joined forces to get the land." Zhang Ran didn't expect Chen Xing to be so sharp. Since Chen Xing had heard it, he didn't deny it.
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Chen Xing curled his lips. From Zhang Ran's words, it was obvious that Zhang Ran's so-called friend didn't have strong financial resources. That was why several people needed to join forces. This made Chen Xing feel more and more unreliable.
Moreover, the plot of land in the urban village on Jiangling Street was one of the few high-quality plots of land in the city center that could be developed. Deep down in Chen Xing's heart, he was already inclined to let Xinli Group develop it. This was also his bargaining chip with Xinli Group. Without this plot of land, it would be increasingly difficult for Xinli Group to build a cultural tourism city in Jiangcheng.
Because he had already made up his mind, Chen Xing almost didn't bother to answer Zhang Ran's request.
Silence represented rejection, and it also represented Chen Xing's answer.
