In the office building of the Xi Men County Government, Zhang Ming, the director of the county government office, came to the office early in the morning. From time to time, he would walk to the corridor outside the office and look down. From 8 am to 9 am, Zhang Ming didn't know how many times he had come out of the corridor. Every time he looked down from the corridor for a while, he would return to his office. After a few minutes, he would walk out again and repeat the same action.
The office staff who passed by the corridor would greet Zhang Ming. Some staff who passed by the corridor two or three times would feel strange. They wondered why Zhang Ming, the director of the county government, was always standing outside the corridor today. They all had a big question mark in their hearts.
Zhang Ming carefully stared at the gate of the county government. As long as it was a person or a vehicle coming in from the gate, Zhang Ming would squint his eyes and take a careful look. When he was sure that it was not Chen Xing, Zhang Ming's face would show a slightly disappointed and relaxed expression.
He thought that he could have a good future by following Lee Zheng. In the future, he might even be able to get a deputy position. He didn't expect that Lee Zheng would be so disappointing. He didn't even warm up to his position as the acting county magistrate before he got into trouble. Zhang Ming thought angrily in his heart. Previously, when the county magistrate Chang Yong was in trouble and Lee Zheng's position was smooth sailing, he had judged the situation and joined Lee Zheng's camp. He followed Lee Zheng's footsteps closely. He thought that it was the right choice, but in the end, he found that he was heading in the wrong direction.
When Chen Xing was appointed as the deputy head of the county, although Zhang Ming had also paid attention to him, after some analysis and weighing, Zhang Ming believed that Chen Xing could not compete with Lee Zheng, who had a certain foundation in Ximen County. Moreover, Chen Xing was just a young lad who was less than 30 years old. Compared with Lee Zheng, who was more than 40 years old, Zhang Ming believed that Lee Zheng was more experienced and Chen Xing was still a little immature. Because of this, Zhang Ming was more optimistic about Lee Zheng. Lee Zheng was also happy to see Chen Xing pretending to be obedient but secretly opposing him. Zhang Ming took this opportunity to please Lee Zheng, but indirectly offended Chen Xing.
Now that Lee Zheng was in trouble, Zhang Ming regretted it very much. He realized that his previous actions were tantamount to digging his own grave step by step. Chen Xing became the acting county magistrate. Zhang Ming was most afraid that Chen Xing would get even with him. Even if Chen Xing didn't do anything to him in the short term due to some reasons, Zhang Ming had no doubt that Chen Xing would deal with him once he gained a foothold.
Director Zhang, what are you doing? Wang Zhong, the deputy director of the office in the corridor, stopped and looked at Zhang Ming in confusion. He had noticed that Zhang Ming had been standing outside for a long time.
Oh, it's Lao Wang. Zhang Ming was obviously startled by the sudden voice coming from behind. A trace of surprise flashed across his face, but then he calmed down. When he turned around and saw that it was his subordinate, Wang Zhong, Zhang Ming also showed a smile on his face. It's nothing. It's boring to stay in the office, so I came out to the corridor to breathe some fresh air.
Really? Wang Zhong smiled, but the expression on his face was undeniable. He looked at Zhang Ming's face again, then smiled and said, "The office is indeed a bit stuffy. Director Zhang, you take a rest first. I'm going to work.
Okay, you go ahead. " Zhang Ming nodded and watched Wang Zhong leave. Zhang Ming's expression was a bit gloomy. In the past, Wang Zhong was ordered around by him. Although he was the deputy director in name, he was just a person who did the dirty work. Zhang Ming basically ordered Wang Zhong to do everything and treated him as an errand boy. Among the several deputy directors in the office, Wang Zhong had the worst relationship with him. That was why he sent Wang Zhong to be in charge of Chen Xing. He didn't expect that this action would indirectly give Wang Zhong an opportunity to get close to Chen Xing. Now, Zhang Ming felt like he had shot himself in the foot. Of course, at that time, Zhang Ming also didn't expect that Chen Xing would replace Lee Zheng's position in such a short time.
Recently, Wang Zhong had become completely arrogant. He even walked with his back straight. Of course, this was Zhang Ming's own feeling. Zhang Ming even faintly felt that Wang Zhong's gaze towards him contained a bit of ridicule and ridicule. Life is full of ups and downs. Wang Zhong's gaze seemed to be conveying such a message to him. Zhang Ming didn't know whether he had been too suspicious recently or if Wang Zhong was really laughing at him in his heart.
He was back. Zhang Ming's eyes lit up. Chen Xing's figure appeared at the entrance of the county government. Zhang Ming, who had been staring at the entrance, saw Chen Xing. His expression became excited. Zhang Ming trotted down the stairs and went straight downstairs.
County Chen, you are back. Zhang Ming quickly walked towards Chen Xing with a flattering smile on his face.
Chen Xing raised his head and glanced at Zhang Ming. He was not too surprised and continued to walk forward. Zhang Ming, the office director, had become more diligent since he became the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and the Acting County Head. He had been waiting for him in advance for a few days. Today, he had just returned from Jiang City and Zhang Ming had appeared in front of him in such a timely manner. Chen Xing sneered in his heart. How could he not see through Zhang Ming's intention? Zhang Ming was trying to make up for his previous mistakes.
County Chen, did everything go smoothly in Jiang City? Zhang Ming smiled and carefully looked at Chen Xing's expression. He asked as he walked.
Fortunately. Chen Xing nodded in response to Zhang Ming's words without much of an expression on his face.
Zhang Ming's heart skipped a beat as he carefully observed Chen Xing's expression. Soon after, he smiled bitterly. All the effort he had put in these days had been to no avail. Chen Xing's expression remained indifferent.
County Chen, this way. On the third floor, Zhang Ming saw Chen Xing walking towards his former office. He quickened his steps and stopped in front of Chen Xing. County Chen, your office is this way.
Over there? Chen Xing was stunned and looked at Zhang Ming with doubt. Director Zhang, when did my office become over there?
County Chen, it's like this. You are now in charge of the county government. Your office should be in line with your status and identity. The previous office is no longer suitable, so … so I made the decision to prepare a new office for you. Zhang Ming smiled apologetically. County Chen, take a look and see if you are satisfied with this office. I remember you once praised this office. So I want to change your office to this one.
Zhang Ming said as he observed Chen Xing's expression. He had put in a lot of effort for this office. Chang Yong's and Lee Zheng's offices were the two best in this building. However, Chen Xing didn't get along well with Lee Zheng and Chang Yong's office was said to be inauspicious. Zhang Ming thought that Chen Xing would definitely not use the office that Lee Zheng and Chang Yong used. Therefore, he moved the county government office to Chang Yong's office and moved Chen Xing's office to this one. Now, Chen Xing's office was more than two or three times more spacious than the previous one. In addition, Zhang Ming personally decorated and decorated the office in two days. It was really luxurious.
When they arrived at the new office mentioned by Zhang Ming, the eye-catching sign hanging outside the door attracted Chen Xing's attention. Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Ming with a smile. He looked around the office and said, "Isn't this your office? How did it become my new office?"
"County Chen, the office has been moved to Chang Yong's office. This one will be your office. County Chen, please see if you are satisfied." Zhang Ming smiled as he opened the door and walked in. Glancing around the office, Zhang Ming felt a little proud. Not only did he put a lot of effort into this office, but he also spent a lot of money to decorate it. The desk, sofa, and so on were specially selected for the expensive ones.
Following Zhang Ming into the office, Chen Xing looked around for a moment before looking at Zhang Ming with a faint smile on his face. Zhang Ming had spent two days to decorate an office like this. He wondered how much money he had spent to decorate this office.
"County Chen, not much money. The key is that County Chen is satisfied. As long as County Chen is satisfied, everything is worth it." Seeing the smile on Chen Xing's face for the first time, Zhang Ming was overjoyed. He thought that his efforts had finally paid off, and he was even more pleased with himself. It was indeed a good idea to use the method of pleasing Lee Zheng on Chen Xing. Looking at Chen Xing's appearance, it seemed that he also pursued luxury and enjoyment. This office could be considered as the first masterpiece of pleasing Chen Xing.
"Not much money?" Chen Xing smiled and walked behind the desk. He patted the leather sofa. "This chair seems to be imported?"
"Yes, yes, County Chen, you really have a good eye. This is an authentic imported Italian leather sofa." Zhang Ming smiled from ear to ear. He thought that Chen Xing had approved of this office.
An imported leather sofa was used for a chair. What about the table, the chair, and the decorations in the office? The smile on Chen Xing's face became colder and colder. "Director Zhang, do you think our Xi Men County is an economically developed county? Or do we have too much money to spend?"
Zhang Ming's face gradually stiffened. The next moment, Chen Xing's words finally made him freeze on the spot. "Director Zhang, you decorated my office so luxuriously. Do you want me to be involved in rumors?" Or do you want others to say that the new acting mayor of Xi Men County began to enjoy luxury as soon as he took office?
