Zeng Jing didn't tell the truth, which was the feeling of Wu Gang and Chen Xing. Looking at Zeng Jing's appearance, Chen Xing and Wu Gang both knew that unless Zeng Jing was willing to tell them, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of him even if they kept asking.
"My business with Zhao Mingcheng is my private business. Let's not talk about it. Let's talk about something interesting." Zeng Jing said with a smile.
"Well, let's talk about something else." Chen Xing nodded and glanced at Zeng Jing. "But Zeng Jing, we have been good friends for many years. If you really have something to say, don't hide it in your heart. You can tell me and Wu Gang. Maybe we can help you."
"That's right. One more person means one more force. Even if I can't help you, Chen Xing can help you, right? Otherwise, he will be the mayor for nothing." Wu Gang said with a smile.
Zeng Jing nodded with a smile. "I know you both care about me. Don't worry, I will tell you if I have something to say."
"Well, remember what you said. Don't hide anything from me." Chen Xing stared at Zeng Jing. He knew that Zeng Jing was still hiding something from them, but that was all he could say at the moment.
For the rest of the time, the three of them continued to eat. It was rare that Zeng Jing was in a good mood. She took the initiative to ask Wu Gang and Chen Xing to have a few drinks. The atmosphere was high, but the three people at the table had their own thoughts. Chen Xing didn't know what Zeng Jing was thinking about and what was going on between him and Zhao Mingcheng. From time to time, he glanced at Zeng Jing, and his heart was undoubtedly full of confusion.
As for Zeng Jing, she took the initiative to ask Chen Xing out today to explain the matter between her and Zhao Mingcheng. Although she didn't tell the truth, she wanted to use this way to dispel Chen Xing and Wu Gang's desire to continue to investigate. The more they pursued this matter, the worse it would be for her. Therefore, instead of avoiding it like before, it was better to come out and talk to them. Even if she had to make up an excuse, at least it could appease them.
The meal ended at eight o 'clock. The three of them drank a lot and recalled many things in the past. When they were drunk, Wu Gang became excited and talked about many interesting things in the past. Among the three of them, he seemed to be the most relaxed and didn't think too much. However, Chen Xing and Zeng Jing were still full of worries.
When they returned to the hotel in Jiang City, it was already past nine o 'clock. Chen Xing drank a lot, but he was not drunk. Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he still had a strong desire to call Zeng Jing and ask Zeng Jing out alone. But in the end, he restrained himself. Just now at the dining table, he had said what he should say, and Zeng Jing also gave an explanation. Although it was obvious that Zeng Jing didn't tell the truth, since Zeng Jing gave them such an excuse, it was obvious that he hoped they would stop asking. Even if he asked Zeng Jing out alone, what was the point?
When Chen Xing entered the hotel, there were three men in suits standing in the lobby of the hotel, and a woman in simple clothes. Among the three men, one of them was wearing sunglasses, which was very eye-catching at night. Among them, only the man wearing sunglasses stood or sat from time to time. The other two men, including the woman, were standing all the time. The two men's eyes swept around from time to time. Their eyes were sharp, like two bodyguards.
The three of them had been here for a while. Obviously, they were waiting for someone. The staff in the lobby of the hotel poured a glass of water for the three of them and asked them what services they needed. Seeing that they all shook their heads, the staff didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing Chen Xing coming in from the door, the man wearing sunglasses stood up at once and walked towards Chen Xing.
Mayor Chen. The man wearing sunglasses walked to Chen Xing and took the initiative to greet Chen Xing.
In the middle of the night, a strange man wearing sunglasses suddenly walked up to him and greeted him. Chen Xing was really shocked. He looked at the man carefully, but Chen Xing didn't know him.
Mayor Chen, I'm Huang Xingrui. Seeming to see Chen Xing's doubt, the man wearing sunglasses took the initiative to introduce himself and took out a certificate from his pocket to show it to Chen Xing.
Glancing at the cover of the certificate, Chen Xing's pupils shrank violently. He looked at the man in shock. Why did people from this department come to see him?
Mayor Chen, let's go to your room and talk. Huang Xingrui said politely.
Chen Xing nodded. Knowing which department the man was from, Chen Xing realized that there was something important. Obviously, it was not suitable to say anything in this lobby.
Leading them upstairs to his suite, Chen Xing invited them to sit down. His face was still a bit dignified.
After entering the room, Huang Xingrui finally took off his sunglasses. This was out of respect for Chen Xing. He wore sunglasses outside because he wanted to cover up, but it was obviously not necessary inside the room.
Huang Xingrui took off his sunglasses. Chen Xing also looked at him quietly. Huang Xingrui, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of State Security. This was a mysterious department for local officials. Chen Xing did not expect that the man would find him. At this moment, he was sitting calmly, but Chen Xing was actually shocked. The calmness on his face was more to hide the shock in his heart.
Chen Xing actually knew the name Huang Xingrui. As a deputy ministerial official, Chen Xing basically had an impression of the main leaders of some special departments. At his level, this was also a necessary homework. As for Huang Xingrui, although Chen Xing had never seen him in person, he had actually seen his photos before. However, he did not expect that he would have to deal with him one day. Therefore, when he saw photos in the past, like most officials, Chen Xing only glanced at them. This was also the reason why Chen Xing did not recognize Huang Xingrui at first glance.
At this moment, Huang Xingrui took off his sunglasses. Chen Xing looked at him carefully and gradually matched his impression in his heart.
After Huang Xingrui sat down, the woman next to him took out a folder and handed it to Chen Xing. She opened the folder and showed it to Chen Xing. There were several documents in it, including the official documents for their official visit and the approval of their leader. They were from the special department. Obviously, they had to get approval before talking to an official like Chen Xing. They also had to complete the procedures and the approval of their leader. Otherwise, Chen Xing could completely refuse to cooperate with them. According to the rules, they should also show these documents to Chen Xing before they started the formal talk.
Seeing that Chen Xing picked up the documents and looked at them carefully, Huang Xingrui said with a smile, "Please forgive me for disturbing Mayor Chen tonight. I took the liberty to disturb Mayor Chen tonight.
It's okay. You came here because you have a task. Thank you, "Chen Xing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Huang Xingrui nodded slightly. Seeing that Chen Xing put down the folder, he could not help but say seriously, "If Mayor Chen has no doubts, then we will start the formal talk."
