In the evening, at the hotel where Chen Xing usually ate, Fang Xiao, Lu Ming, and Zhao Yide arrived at the hotel in advance. Chen Xing came in Huang Ming's car. Huang Ming, who had changed from a shotgun to a cannon, was now driving a BMW. He said goodbye to the small broken car in the past. According to Huang Ming, his social status was different now. A big boss should have the style of a big boss. If he drove a car worth more than 100,000 yuan, it would affect his identity. Sometimes, businessmen also needed these external things to support their appearance. If you could drive a good car, others would believe in your financial strength.
Before Chen Xing arrived, Xu Jiang also arrived one step ahead of Chen Xing. Fang Xiao, Lu Ming, and Zhao Yide were not too surprised to see Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang was a person who was very close to Chen Xing. It was normal for Chen Xing to invite Xu Jiang to a private banquet in the evening. However, when they saw Huang Ming coming in with Chen Xing, Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang were a little surprised.
Chen Xing had once taken Huang Ming and Lu Ming to dinner together. Lu Ming knew that Huang Ming and Chen Xing were classmates, and they had a good relationship. Seeing Huang Ming coming, he was not too surprised. Only Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang didn't know Huang Ming. They looked at Chen Xing with puzzlement, waiting for him to introduce them.
"This is my college classmate. He has been a good brother for more than ten years. In the future, when he does business in Ximen, I will need you to take care of him." Chen Xing smiled and patted Huang Ming on the shoulder.
Perhaps because Chen Xing was leaving, he spoke very directly tonight. In the future, when he was not in Ximen, Huang Ming's hotel business would indeed need to be taken care of by them. If he could receive some government reception banquets, it would be a big business. Chen Xing was also paving the way for Huang Ming in advance before he left. Moreover, if a business did not have some relationship and background with the government, it would be easy for the relevant departments in charge to make things difficult for him.
I have just taken over the Entertainment City, and it will soon be renovated into a hotel. It will open for business before the end of the year, and I hope that the leaders will be graced with your presence. As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, Huang Ming handed Fang Xiao, Xu Jiang, and Zhao Yide his business cards in time. Lu Ming already knew them, so Huang Ming didn't pay attention to them.
Fang Xiao accepted Huang Ming's name card with both hands. Chen Xing glanced at Fang Xiao lightly with a smile on his face. Fang Xiao's respect for Huang Ming naturally made Chen Xing feel very comfortable. Huang Ming was brought here by him. Fang Xiao's attitude towards Huang Ming was also related to his reputation. Fang Xiao's respect for Huang Ming was equivalent to his respect for him.
Xu Jiang's and Fang Xiao's reactions were similar. Xu Jiang also gave enough respect to Huang Ming. Just because Huang Ming was brought here by Chen Xing, Xu Jiang also thought that Huang Ming was qualified for him to take him seriously. Moreover, from what Chen Xing said just now, it was obvious that he had specially brought Huang Ming here tonight to build a good relationship with Huang Ming. Xu Jiang had no reason to not take this seriously.
The Entertainment City was just bought at a high price last time. I was wondering which big boss it was, so it was Brother Huang Ming. Lu Ming smiled and said.
I don't dare to be called a big boss. I'm just a small business to make a living. Huang Ming smiled and shook his head.
If this is just a small business, then how are the people who set up stalls on the street going to make a living? Lu Ming pulled Huang Ming to sit beside him and smiled. I should call you Director Duan in the future. When your Entertainment City opens for business, I will definitely go and treat you to a big meal. Don't feel bad about it.
How can that be? It's a great thing that Director Lu can come. I will definitely prepare good wine and food for Director Lu's visit.
Huang Ming and Lu Ming were chatting and laughing on the side. Chen Xing also sat down formally. Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang couldn't help but congratulate Chen Xing again. This time, Chen Xing was promoted to the Deputy Director of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education. Although this job was a bit practical, it was still a real deputy director level. Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang could only look at him with envy. Chen Xing's promotion speed was like riding a rocket. The two of them couldn't compare even if they wanted to. The key was how Chen Xing was transferred to the capital. This step was really confusing to them. Now, everyone only knew that Chen Xing used to be Zhou Mingfang's secretary.
After Secretary Chen leaves, if there is a chance in the future, he will come back to Xi Men and guide us in our work. We are all looking forward to that day. Fang Xiao flattered Chen Xing without batting an eyelid.
If he comes to guide us in our work, then I dare not come. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. I have worked in Xi Men County for almost two years. I also have a deep feeling for this place. If there is a chance in the future, I will come back to have a look. I hope to see the glory of Xi Men County.
For a long time, Xi Men County has been ranked second to last among the county-level administrative districts of Hai City. Now that Secretary Huang has given us a good start, if we as leaders don't work hard, we will let down the hundreds of thousands of people in Xi Men County. Fang Xiao solemnly said. He was also a person who wanted to do something practical.
Lu Ming chatted with Huang Ming from time to time while listening carefully to the conversation of Chen Xing and the others. When he heard Fang Xiao quietly flattering Chen Xing, Lu Ming secretly muttered in his heart. Who said that Fang Xiao didn't know how to flatter? Look at how smoothly he did it.
As they talked, Chen Xing suddenly mentioned Lu Ming. Chen Xing smiled and said, "Before I leave, I will recommend Lu Ming to the city to be the deputy county magistrate. The public security environment in Xi Men County is very good now, and Lu Ming has contributed a lot."
When Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang heard Chen Xing's words, both of them were slightly shocked. Chen Xing didn't reveal anything before, so the two of them were really surprised now. It was a good thing to nominate Lu Ming as the deputy county magistrate. At least, Fang Xiao was very happy to see this result. If Chen Xing didn't mention it first, after a period of time, when Fang Xiao stabilized his position as the county magistrate, he also planned to nominate Lu Ming as the deputy county magistrate. It was hard to say whether he would succeed at that time, because the new county secretary was still unknown. It was hard to say whether the two sides would be on opposite sides.
Xu Jiang was the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. If Lu Ming, the director of the Public Security Bureau, was too strong, it would not be good for Xu Jiang. It meant that he couldn't control the Public Security Bureau. However, because of his relationship with Chen Xing, Xu Jiang and Lu Ming had a good relationship. Moreover, Xu Jiang's ambition was not in the officialdom of Xi Men, so if Lu Ming was the director of the Public Security Bureau and the deputy county magistrate, Xu Jiang would not object.
Secretary Chen, you are not joking with me, are you? Lu Ming's eyes were wide open. There was a suppressed surprise on his face. When he said these words, it could be seen that Lu Ming was really excited.
Chen Xing glanced at Lu Ming with a smile. Yes, today is April Fool's Day. I am joking with you.
Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang also laughed along with Chen Xing. Lu Ming was the person involved, so it was no wonder that he was excited.
Lu Ming grinned. He knew that he had lost his composure. However, in such a situation, not many people could sit calmly. Chen Xing still remembered to help him before he left. Lu Ming was grateful. It was not in vain that he followed Chen Xing so closely. In the officialdom, he chose the right side.
Social security was related to the stability and development of a place. Therefore, the function of the Public Security Bureau was very important. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Lu Ming should have a greater say in the government. Fang Xiao once again expressed his position. Whether it was public or private, he supported Lu Ming to get a higher position. This was helpful to him.
Looking at the 14 counties and districts in Hai City, there were 10 areas where the director of the Public Security Bureau held a deputy position in the government, or the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee was also the director of the Public Security Bureau. This would increase the say of the Public Security Bureau and improve the management and governance of social security. This was also in line with the spirit of the document issued by the higher-ups. Our Ximen County should also respond to the spirit of the higher-ups.
Chen Xing glanced at Xu Jiang with a smile. There was a subtle eye contact between them. That was a tacit understanding between them. Xu Jiang's wife and children were in Hai City, and he wholeheartedly hoped to be transferred back to Hai City. As for Ximen County, Xu Jiang did not care much about it. Therefore, when Chen Xing proposed to nominate Lu Ming as the deputy head of the county, he did not need to worry that Xu Jiang would have a knot in his heart. Previously, he could rope in Xu Jiang because he had made a certain promise. As long as the conditions allowed, Chen Xing would try his best to help Xu Jiang be transferred back to Hai City.
Xu Jiang nodded and echoed Chen Xing's words. Otherwise, if he did not say anything when both Chen Xing and Fang Xiao had expressed their opinions, it would be inevitable that Lu Ming would think that he did not like it, which would cast a shadow over their relationship. In the future, when Lu Ming became the deputy head of the county, the influence that he, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, could have on the Public Security Bureau would be even more limited. It was better to put icing on the cake now. As long as Chen Xing remembered his original promise, he would have no other thoughts. Looking at the speed of Chen Xing's current promotion, he became more and more confident in Chen Xing. In the future, it might not be wishful thinking to transfer back to Hai City to find a good position.
No matter whether I can become the deputy head of the county or not, in the future, if you, the county magistrate, and Secretary Xu have any orders, I will do my best to complete them. Lu Ming did not get carried away. Before Chen Xing left, he gave him such a big gift. But after all, Chen Xing was leaving. Fang Xiao was the county magistrate, and Xu Jiang was the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. He still needed to build a good relationship with them in the future. Now they were on good terms, but no one could be sure of the things in the officialdom. There were no eternal friends, and there were no eternal enemies. They might have differences one day, so Lu Ming still had to put on the right attitude.
Seeing Lu Ming's performance, Chen Xing also praised him in his heart. Lu Ming was straightforward, but he knew when to advance and when to retreat. Chen Xing appreciated such a person. At least, he could use him without worry.
They drank until nine o 'clock. Because Chen Xing was going to be transferred, they didn't have so many scruples. They drank and chatted more like friends. Especially when they drank too much, they put their arms around each other's shoulders. They didn't have the image of a secretary or a county magistrate at all. Lu Ming was the one who drank to his heart's content. People were in high spirits when they met happy events. Not only did Lu Ming take turns to toast Chen Xing, Fang Xiao, and Xu Jiang, but he also drank a lot with Zhao Yide. When the party was over, except for a red face, Lu Ming was very energetic. He walked steadily and didn't show any signs of being drunk. At this time, his capacity for liquor was revealed.
"Secretary Chen, since you are transferred to the capital, there are fewer opportunities for you to use me. I won't say much. As long as Secretary Chen has any orders, I will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation." When they parted at the entrance of the hotel, Lu Ming and Chen Xing first saw Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang off. When only the two of them were left, Lu Ming said to Chen Xing alone.
Just now, he only expressed his attitude to Fang Xiao and Xu Jiang. Lu Ming didn't say anything to Chen Xing. Now there were only the two of them left. Lu Ming expressed his attitude to Chen Xing without reservation. He was grateful to Chen Xing from the bottom of his heart. Before Chen Xing left, Chen Xing remembered to help him. Lu Ming knew that he couldn't repay Chen Xing with anything, so he could only remember this gratitude in his heart. If Chen Xing wanted him to do something, Lu Ming would definitely do it without any objection. From the previous deputy director to the current director, and now he was going to be nominated as the deputy county magistrate. Lu Ming knew that although Chen Xing also needed his help, he definitely treated him well. In this day and age, it was also his blessing to follow such a leader.
"In the future, I will not be your leader. Don't call me Secretary Chen." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
"In my heart, Secretary Chen, you will always be my leader." Lu Ming said without hesitation. Zhao Yide, who was behind him, felt his scalp tingling. "The bureau is so mushy tonight. They can say all kinds of flattery." Zhao Yide thought, but he didn't know that what Lu Ming said was the truth. He respected and was grateful to Chen Xing.
"By the way, before I leave, I have nothing to worry about. Zhang Ying's case has not been solved yet. If there is anything that I am worried about, it is the only thing. I hope to hear good news from you in the future." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes. Although Zhang Ying's case had been in the past for a long time, Chen Xing still remembered it in his heart. His sister-in-law died with her eyes wide open, which made Chen Xing unable to forget. Especially when he said that he would seek justice for Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying's eyes really closed. This strange fact made Chen Xing unable to let go of this matter.
"I was negligent in Zhang Ying's case. Whether she was murdered or committed suicide, I will give you a satisfactory answer soon, Secretary Huang." Lu Ming looked gloomy. Chen Xing had always been concerned about this matter. He had also boasted about it, but the case had not been solved yet. It was indeed his dereliction of duty. Lu Ming didn't find any other excuses. Not solved was not solved.
"Okay, I will wait for your good news. You are still capable." Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He glanced at Zhao Yide behind him. "Little Zhao is also good. If we train him well, he will be a fierce general in the future."
"Thank you, Secretary Chen, for your praise. It is a pity that Secretary Chen has been transferred away. I can't work for you in the future." Zhao Yide's face brightened. He was just making fun of his leader Lu Ming in his heart. Now he was also very mushy.
