At ten o 'clock in the evening, Chen Xing came out of the restaurant with Wu Hansheng and Li Hongning. The three of them chatted happily during the meal.
As for Chen Xing's request for help, Li Hongning agreed after thinking for a while. In fact, even if Chen Xing didn't come in person, Li Hongning couldn't refuse Wu Hansheng's request. Not to mention that Chen Xing came all the way from Jiang City. Even if it was just to meet and have a meal, it was still a great honor for Li Hongning.
After the meal, the three of them continued to walk along the quiet alley outside. After walking for a few minutes, Li Hongning said with a smile, "Old leader, Mayor Chen, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You two take your time.
OK, I know you have an important task. Hurry up. " Wu Hansheng said with a smile.
"Next time when you come to Jiang City, you must let me know so that I can treat you to a meal." Chen Xing also said.
"Mayor Chen is too polite." Li Hongning smiled slightly.
After a simple greeting, Li Hongning left first. Chen Xing and Wu Hansheng continued to walk along the road. Chen Xing, who hadn't been to Nanzhou for a long time, also felt the rapid changes in this city.
"How is it? You haven't been to Nanzhou for a long time. Can't you recognize it?" Wu Hansheng couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Xing staring at the buildings on both sides of the road, lost in thought from time to time.
"It's not that I can't recognize it. The main buildings in the city center haven't changed much, but I can feel that the atmosphere of this city seems to be different. How to put it, it should be said that it is more and more lively." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"That's right. Nanzhou is now becoming more and more livable. The cultural and social environment of the city has made great progress compared to the past." Wu Hansheng said with a smile.
The two talked and laughed. It was getting late. Wu Hansheng booked a hotel for Chen Xing and personally sent Chen Xing there. He also said that he would personally be Chen Xing's tour guide tomorrow and show Chen Xing around Nanzhou, but Chen Xing declined.
Old Brother Wu, it's not that I want to criticize you, but as a leader, you've always been busy with work. You're not necessarily more familiar with the good food and fun things in Nanzhou than I am. If you were to be my tour guide, you'd only be a half-baked tour guide. I might as well walk around by myself. Chen Xing smiled.
Chen Xing, you are really blunt with your words. Wu Hansheng smiled and nodded at Chen Xing. "But you're right. I'm indeed a half-baked tour guide."
The two talked and laughed for a while. Wu Hansheng did not mention tomorrow's arrangements. If they really wanted to arrange a tour guide, with their identity, they could easily find a professional. However, since Chen Xing declined, Wu Hansheng guessed that Chen Xing might have his own arrangements. Chen Xing, who once worked in Nanzhou, had some personal circle of friends here. Maybe Chen Xing wanted to walk around by himself, so Wu Hansheng no longer asked for trouble.
Wu Hansheng left the hotel. Chen Xing asked Yu Zhiyuan to make arrangements for the night and went out by himself.
Arriving at Coastal Avenue, Chen Xing stopped in front of Jiang Wan's restaurant. At this time, the restaurant was still open. Coastal Avenue was one of the road sections that Nanzhou focused on building, and at night, it was also one of the busiest sections of Nanzhou City. The parking spaces on both sides of the road were almost full of cars, and it was difficult to find an empty parking space. The row of restaurants built along the coast, with the prosperity of Coastal Avenue, basically had good business.
He walked into the restaurant. At this time, there were still a few people eating in the restaurant. As soon as Chen Xing walked in, the waiter thought he was a customer and asked politely, "Sir, are you alone or?
I'm looking for your Director Jiang. "
"Looking for our Director Jiang?" The waiter was stunned. "Sir, what can I do for you? Or did you make an appointment with our Director Jiang?
Just tell me where she is. I'm an old friend of your Director Jiang. I believe she'll be very happy to see me. " Chen Xing smiled.
"Sir, if you didn't make an appointment with our Director Jiang in advance, then I'm sorry." The waiter looked at Chen Xing apologetically. The meaning was very clear. If there was no appointment, she wouldn't say.
"I think your Director Jiang should be in the office upstairs." Chen Xing smiled. The layout of the restaurant was still the same as before, and nothing had changed. Chen Xing guessed that the office on the second floor must still be preserved, and Jiang Wan would be there as well.
"Sir, you can't go up." The waiter saw that Chen Xing wanted to go upstairs by himself and quickly stopped him.
"Don't worry, I'm really an old friend of your Director Jiang. She won't blame you." Chen Xing smiled.
The waiter glanced at Chen Xing, but his face was full of disbelief, and there was even some disdain in his eyes. He secretly thought that this trick was too old-fashioned. There were many people pursuing their Director Jiang, and every few days, there would be people trying to get close to her. The other people's methods were much more clever. At the very least, they would pretend to be customers, order a table of dishes, eat slowly, and then find an opportunity to get close to Director Jiang. Some would even directly bring flowers over, unlike the one in front of him, who had empty hands and opened his mouth to say that he was their Director Jiang's friend.
Seeing the waiter's expression, Chen Xing smacked his lips helplessly. Originally, he wanted to give Jiang Wan a surprise, but now it seemed that it wouldn't work. If he really barged in, the waiter would probably think that he was here to cause trouble.
Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and was about to call Jiang Wan. At this time, a female manager of the restaurant walked over. When she saw Chen Xing, she was stunned, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes. She stepped forward with a face full of surprise. "You are …"
"Hey, it's you. Do you recognize me?" When Chen Xing saw the other party, he couldn't help but smile and put away his mobile phone. He recognized the person, but he didn't know her name. When he first came to Jiang Wan's restaurant, she was just an ordinary waiter. Because he had met her several times, Chen Xing had an impression of her. Now, looking at the sign hanging on her, she was already the restaurant's manager.
Of course, he recognized her. The female manager didn't expect that Chen Xing would remember her. There was some excitement in her eyes. She knew Chen Xing's previous identity. Although she didn't know where Chen Xing was now, his status was definitely not low.
City Chen … The female manager subconsciously wanted to call Chen Xing 'Mayor Chen', but she was interrupted by Chen Xing. "You can call me Mr. Chen."
"Okay." The female manager was stunned, and then immediately smiled and nodded. "Mr. Chen, you are here to see our Director Jiang, right?"
"Yes, is she upstairs?"
"Yes, Mayor Chen, let me take you up." The female manager said attentively.
"No, I can go up by myself." Chen Xing smiled and looked at the waitress next to him. "How about it? I really know your Director Jiang, don't I?"
"Mr. Chen, she doesn't know you. Please don't take it to heart." The female manager hurriedly explained.
Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. How could he argue with a waitress?
