Mayor Chen, drink it while it's hot. It's more fragrant. Ni Jiali urged him again.
Okay. Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
The soup, which had just been opened, was still very hot. When Chen Xing picked up the spoon and was about to eat it, he saw Ni Jiali standing beside him. He couldn't help laughing. "Ms. Ni, I'm embarrassed that you're watching me eat. You shouldn't have only stewed one bowl of soup, right? Let's see if there's more. Go and bring another bowl over. Let's eat together."
"Mayor Chen, there's no need. I'll just stand." Ni Jiali smiled.
"Tut, if you don't want to go, then I won't eat it." Chen Xing smiled.
Hearing that, Ni Jiali hesitated for a moment, and then walked out. After a while, Ni Jiali brought over a bowl of soup. She had stewed the soup with two stewing pots. In addition to the bowl for Chen Xing, there was another bowl for herself.
"That's right. Let's eat together. Otherwise, it would be boring." Chen Xing smiled.
As they ate, they chatted casually. Ni Jiali worked in a hotel in Jiang City, so she could see Chen Xing at any time. They basically saw each other every day, but it was the first time for them to sit together and drink soup and chat.
As for Chen Xing, Ni Jiali was actually curious about this young mayor. Although she could see Chen Xing almost every day, she didn't know him very well. Previously, when she climbed the mountain with Chen Xing, she could talk to Chen Xing in a relaxed way at a close distance. But most of the time, although Chen Xing lived in a hotel in Jiang City, she didn't dare to stop Chen Xing unless there was something special. Even if she went to Chen Xing's room every night, she would only be criticized. The most important thing was that she was worried that Chen Xing would be disgusted. Therefore, Ni Jiali tried to be as close to Chen Xing as possible. Power was like a magnet, full of centripetal force. Both men and women would be attracted to it.
The two chatted about some interesting things. Ni Jiali glanced at Chen Xing and couldn't help asking, "Mayor Chen, why don't you bring your family here so that they can take care of you? Otherwise, you will be too lonely in Jiang City. No one will accompany you except during working hours."
Hehe, I've been out all these years, and I've been moving from job to job. It's impossible for me to stay in one place. It's impossible for my family to follow me every time I go to a new place. If they do, they'll have to follow me everywhere. It's too tiring. It's better to stay in one place. Besides, my wife has her own pursuits and ideals. It's impossible for her to sacrifice her pursuits for her family. Chen Xing smiled.
"It seems that your wife is a strong woman, Mayor Chen. No wonder she is a good match for you, Mayor Chen." Ni Jiali complimented.
"She's not a strong woman, but she has her own ideas and pursuits." Chen Xing laughed.
"It's great that a woman can have her own ideas and pursuits. In this era, although men and women are equal, it's still a patriarchal society in essence. When women get married and have children, how many of them don't have to sacrifice for their family? Some of them simply quit their jobs and become housewives, focusing on taking care of their children and doing housework. Some of them work even harder. Not only do they take care of their children, but they also have to go out and earn money. " Ni Jiali felt injustice for her female compatriots and looked indignant. In the end, in this society, women still had to submit to men.
"Ms. Ni, I don't think so. Aren't you independent and self-reliant? Isn't that good?" Chen Xing smiled.
"Mayor Chen, it's not easy for a woman to be independent and self-reliant. Look at those golden leftover women. Many of them are too strong-willed and become leftover women. Look at me. I was immature in my early years and married too hastily. Now, I've become a second-hand good. I can't sell it even if I want to." Ni Jiali laughed at herself.
Hearing her words, Chen Xing found it funny. "Ms. Ni, it's your standards that are too high. I heard that there are many people pursuing you, but you don't like any of them."
"Mayor Chen, that's all nonsense." Ni Jiali frowned. Her delicate nose was really cute.
Seeing her reaction, Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. Although Ni Jiali was divorced, she was popular everywhere with her beautiful appearance and superior job. It would be a lie to say that no one pursued her. At least, Chen Xing often saw people coming to her with roses. It was said that they were all Ni Jiali's pursuers.
However, perhaps it was because she was divorced that Ni Jiali had higher requirements for her other half. She was afraid that she would meet another bad guy and find someone she couldn't get along with.
Just as the two were chatting, Zhao Mingcheng, who had been transferred to criminal detention in a detention center in Jiang City, was now sent to the detention center. Previously, he was a young and promising entrepreneur, but now he was treated like a prisoner. He might even lose his reputation. In this short period of time, Zhao Mingcheng's experience could be said to be like a roller coaster.
In the past few days, Zhao Mingcheng had been living in anxiety. From being high-spirited before, he suddenly seemed to have aged a few years. Now, Zhao Mingcheng was much more haggard. Zeng Jing came to the detention center to see him once and also asked the people in the detention center to take care of him. However, Zhao Mingcheng was still full of anger. He felt that Zeng Jing could help him more, and might even help him settle this matter. However, Zeng Jing always used the reason that she couldn't speak to the local tax system, so she was unwilling to help.
Previously, when he was still in administrative detention, Zhao Mingcheng could temporarily believe Zeng Jing's explanation because he was still rational at that time. But now, knowing that he had been transferred to criminal detention, Zhao Mingcheng was somewhat hysterical and angry.
Anger could make a person lose his rationality. Anger could make a person do some unreasonable things. At this moment, Zhao Mingcheng's mind was filled with extreme negative emotions.
Is there anyone outside? Come over. In the cold and damp room, Zhao Mingcheng's expression was somewhat ferocious.
What's the matter? Outside the door, a prison guard came over.
I want to see my lawyer. Zhao Mingcheng said in a deep voice.
See a lawyer? It's not visiting time now. The prison guard outside the door curled his lips.
Brother, please make an exception. Didn't Zeng Jing ask you guys to make an exception? Can you make an exception? Zhao Mingcheng squeezed a smile on his face. People under the eaves had to bow their heads.
The prison guard outside the door was obviously a little hesitant. The prisoner inside was indeed told by Zeng Jing. After hesitating for a moment, the prison guard nodded and said, "Okay, you wait, but only this time. Don't do it again."
