After Lu Ming and Zhao Yide left, Huang Ming dared to stand beside Chen Xing and laugh. These government officials are all good at flattering people. I thought Chief Lu and Captain Zhao are not good at flattering people, but it seems that they are not bad either. They are also very good at flattering people, and they are very good at flattering people.
If you enter the officialdom, you will be better at flattering than them. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Huang Ming and said, "I am not in Xi Men. You have these people to take care of you. If you encounter any problems, you should be able to solve them. If there is any inconvenience, you can directly find Lu Ming. He can be trusted."
I understand this, but we are just opening a hotel, not doing illegal business. There will not be any problems in normal times. As for those people who want to take advantage of us, I believe that with the name of County Magistrate Fang, no one will dare to make things difficult for us. " Huang Ming smiled. Thinking that Chen Xing was going to the capital, he joked, "In the future, when you work in the capital, it will not be easy to see you. It seems that I have to open a hotel in the capital as soon as possible."
"When you have some influence in Jianghai Province, it is not too late to consider the capital. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite." Chen Xing was stunned and then shook his head. The capital was not like other places. Chen Xing, a divisional cadre, could cover Huang Ming's business in Xi Men. But in the capital, not to mention that he was only a deputy director, even a deputy minister would not make a sound. The water in the capital was deep. Except for those who had reached the level of deputy national level, no one dared to say that they could do anything in the capital.
"Ha, I am just joking. How can a place like the capital be casually rushed into? But when I have enough capital and strength, I will definitely go to the capital." Huang Ming laughed. "But Chen Xing, your progress is too fast. I, who is not in the system, am envious and jealous of you. Other people who have been in the system for their whole lives but have not achieved anything, I don't know how to feel. They must be beating their feet and beating their chests, lamenting that God is unfair."
Everyone had their own opportunities. If I wanted to make a name for myself in the officialdom, I felt that although ability was indispensable, luck was also an important factor. Chen Xing sighed with emotion. He himself was a typical example. Were there many people like him? It wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. Some people's meteoric rise might be due to luck that decided the turning point of their lives.
In the next few days, before Chen Xing resigned from his position as the Secretary of the County Party Committee, he made one last effort to nominate Lu Ming to be the Deputy County Magistrate. The reason was very simple. The function of the Public Security Bureau was very important. Everyone knew that Lu Ming being the Deputy County Magistrate would help the Public Security Bureau to play a full role in ensuring social stability and development. Moreover, this was in line with the spirit of the Central Government. Throughout the country, the head of the Public Security Bureau was held by the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee or the leader of the government. It was normal for people to hold the position of Deputy County Magistrate. Nominating Lu Ming to be the Deputy County Magistrate had no reason to make irresponsible remarks.
The candidate for the Secretary of the County Party Committee of Ximen County was finally revealed. To Chen Xing's surprise, it turned out to be his old superior, Qian Cheng, the General Office Director of the Municipal Party Committee. Qian Cheng had called Chen Xing one day in advance to inform Chen Xing that the two of them wanted to communicate more. He also asked Chen Xing to hang out with him these two days. At first, Chen Xing didn't realize it. After he hung up the phone, he realized that Qian Cheng was going to Ximen County. As expected, when he called Zhang Mingde, the Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Mingde gave him a definite reply.
The Municipal Party Committee had already decided on Qian Cheng. Zhang Mingde even laughed on the phone and said how Chen Xing was so well-informed. The Municipal Party Committee had just decided on the candidate a moment ago, and Chen Xing had called him. Zhang Mingde didn't know that it was Qian Cheng who took the initiative to communicate with Chen Xing after he knew that Chen Xing would go to Ximen County.
Qian Cheng's purpose was very clear. He hoped that Chen Xing could take over Chen Xing's team in Ximen County. As a cadre who came down later, if he could take over some of the people in Chen Xing's hands, it would also help him gain a foothold in Ximen County faster and control Ximen County. At least, it would take less time for him to break in with Chen Xing. Besides, he and Chen Xing were in the same faction, so it was not presumptuous for him to make such a request. Of course, the world can buy a free lunch. If Chen Xing agreed, it would mean that he owed Chen Xing a big favor.
After Lu Ming's nomination of the deputy county magistrate was reported to the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, there was no resistance from the Municipal Party Committee. This was also because Chen Xing was more influential than others. In Huang Kunming's eyes, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee was really nothing. If Chen Xing wanted to support a person to be promoted before he left, Huang Kunming would also give him face. There was no need to refuse for a deputy divisional cadre.
As soon as the notice that the Municipal Party Committee appointed Lu Ming as the member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee of Ximen County, Chen Xing immediately pushed the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress to approve the relevant appointment of Lu Ming as the deputy county magistrate. All the necessary procedures had been gone through. Before the handover, Chen Xing finally fulfilled his promise and helped Lu Ming to the position of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the deputy county magistrate.
On the day that Chen Xing left, Qian Cheng specially rushed to Ximen County from the city to see Chen Xing off. He was also still handing over the work of the General Office, so he would arrive at Ximen County one day later. In fact, he could have waited for Chen Xing in the city, but he specially came here. Qian Cheng deliberately wanted to show his attitude. Facing his former subordinate, Qian Cheng no longer despised him at all.
In fact, from the moment that Chen Xing became Zhou Mingfang's secretary, Chen Xing was qualified to be on an equal footing with him. In the past two or three years, Chen Xing was about to reach a higher position than him. Qian Cheng also sighed with emotion in his heart. When shaking hands with Chen Xing face to face, Qian Cheng was even a little absent-minded. In just two or three years, Chen Xing had already reached such a height.
In addition to Qian Cheng, Fang Xiao, the county magistrate, Xu Jiang, the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Lu Ming, who had just become a member of the standing committee and deputy county magistrate, were also among those who saw Chen Xing off. In the past few days, Qian Cheng had been learning about the official situation in Ximen County. When he saw these people, Qian Cheng quietly remembered them in his heart. These people could be regarded as Chen Xing's subordinates in Ximen County. It was right for him to come here today. In just two or three years, Chen Xing had managed to make such a situation in Ximen County, which really impressed him. It seemed that Chen Xing did not only rely on his background and Zhou Mingfang's promotion, but also his own ability could not be ignored.
I originally planned to visit Director Qian when I returned to the city, but I didn't expect that Director Qian would come here first. Thank you for coming here again. Chen Xing held Qian Cheng's hand and said with a smile.
You have worked in Ximen County for two years, so you know the situation in Ximen County better than me. I want to learn from you, so of course, I have to correct my learning attitude. Qian Cheng smiled modestly.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Chen Xing left. Qian Cheng was not in a hurry to return to the city. He was also going to take up his post in Ximen County in two days, so he could take advantage of today's time to visit Ximen County. It was also necessary for him to communicate with Fang Xiao and the others.
Chen Xing's parents knew that their son was going to work in Beijing. Although they couldn't bear to part with him, they didn't hold Chen Xing back. Instead, they were very open-minded. Chen Shuiping smiled and said that transportation was so advanced nowadays. It would only take about two hours to fly from Beijing to Haicheng. It wouldn't take long for Chen Xing to make a trip back. Chen Shuiping told Chen Xing to work in Beijing without any worries. His parents were still healthy and could take care of themselves.
Listening to his parents' words, Chen Xing's eyes became slightly moist. Ever since he became Zhou Mingfang's secretary, he rarely accompanied his parents and rarely went home during Chinese New Year's Day. Others could have holidays, but he couldn't. Working beside a leader, although he had a better future and a bright future, he had less freedom than an ordinary civil servant. He had to wait for the leader's instructions 24 hours a day. If the leader had any orders, he had to carry them out no matter what. When he became a leader, he was even busier during Chinese New Year's Eve. He had to go to the capital for the past two years, so he didn't feel very good about it. Now that he was going to the capital, there would be fewer opportunities to see his parents in the future.
"Silly boy, it's a good thing that you're going to the capital to work. You're getting more and more promising now. Mom and Dad are happy for you. Besides, you won't be staying in the capital for a long time. Maybe you'll be transferred back in the future. At that time, maybe you'll be a mayor." Zou Fang smiled and comforted Chen Xing. She was happy that Chen Xing had a promising future. As for the fewer opportunities to see him in the future, she was not worried at all. When they retired, it would be very convenient to visit Chen Xing in the capital. On the contrary, their son had accidentally become a deputy department leader, which made them laugh in their dreams at night. Three or four years ago, they didn't dare to think about it. They didn't even dare to imagine it, but now it had become a reality.
"Dad, Mom, I'll come back to see you when I have time in the future." Seeing that his parents were more open-minded than him, Chen Xing smiled bitterly in his heart. As he grew older, he became more and more sentimental.
"There's no need to come back in the future. Your wedding with Zhang Ningning will be held soon. At that time, if you hold a banquet in the capital, we two old bones will have to go." Zou Fang smiled.
"Yes, you'll see him soon. But Mom, Dad, you're still young. Don't say that you're old."
At the same time, in the capital, Wang Zheng, the son of the Deputy Premier, was holding a list of the recent personnel changes in the ministries and commissions in the capital. Wang Zheng began to pay attention to the personnel changes in the ministries and commissions in the capital after hearing from Zhang Yang that Chen Xing himself said that he would be transferred to the capital to work. The list in his hand was specially collected by him. As a son of a senior official, Wang Zheng knew many people in the upper circle. Things that were too difficult for others could be solved with just a phone call. Naturally, someone would run errands for him. Holding the list in his hand, Wang Zheng stared at Chen Xing's name with a sneer. Deputy Director of the Ministry of Education?
He couldn't go to Jianghai Province to find trouble with Chen Xing, but Chen Xing took the initiative to come to him. There was some pride in Wang Zheng's eyes. He had a lot of connections in the capital. Although Chen Xing was backed by the Zhang family, the Zhang family couldn't do anything if he secretly played some tricks behind his back. He wanted to see how capable Chen Xing was and why Zhang Ningning liked him.
After dinner, Chen Xing went to visit Zhang Mingde, the Minister of the Organization Department. Fang Xiao also came to Ximen by car in the evening. Chen Xing took the opportunity to introduce Fang Xiao to Zhang Mingde. Of course, this introduction was not just to let the two sides get to know each other. In this case, since Zhang Mingde had been to Ximen and had dinner with Chen Xing, Fang Xiao and other leading cadres of the Ximen County Government, he also knew Fang Xiao. There was no need for Chen Xing to introduce him.
Zhang Mingde obviously attached great importance to Chen Xing. Zhang Mingde also gave Chen Xing a lot of face when he introduced Chen Xing to Fang Xiao. Although he didn't promise anything explicitly, some hints in his words had made Fang Xiao very happy. He had no backing in the city. If he could have a relationship with Zhang Mingde, this trip would be a great harvest for him.
Secretary Chen, if there's anything you need from Xi Men in the future, just give me a call at any time. I'll definitely take care of it properly. When leaving Zhang Mingde's house, Fang Xiao expressed his attitude to Chen Xing humbly. Fang Xiao had seen Zhang Mingde's attitude just now. He knew that Zhang Mingde was doing this for Chen Xing's sake. Fang Xiao was very clear about the weight in his heart. He wanted to have a good relationship with Zhang Mingde, but he could not cut off his relationship with Chen Xing. He could not alienate them just because Chen Xing was transferred away. What he had now was what Chen Xing had fought for for him. Maintaining the relationship with Chen Xing was fundamental to him.
"Old Fang, work hard and do a good job. Strive to make Xi Men's economy go up another level next year. The burden on your shoulders is not light at all. Although I am not in Xi Men, I am always paying attention to the development of Xi Men when I am in Beijing. Chen Xing laughed and shouted at him.
"That's good. We welcome Secretary Chen to supervise us at any time. With your supervision, we will have more motivation to spur us on." Fang Xiao smiled very brightly. Tonight was really worth being happy for him. In the future, he could visit Zhang Mingde more often.
"I can't say that I am supervising you. At most, I will help you with some suggestions. Whether you will adopt them or not depends on you." Chen Xing smiled. He was not in the position of Secretary of the County Party Committee, so he was not qualified to criticize the development of Xi Men County. In particular, the department he was transferred to had little to do with the local government.
"As long as it is Secretary Chen's suggestion, we will definitely adopt it." Fang Xiao said hurriedly.
Fang Xiao and Chen Xing sat alone in the teahouse for a while. That night, they took a bus back to Xi Men. It was less than an hour's journey. Anyway, it was very close. When Chen Xing came out of the teahouse, a white BMW slowly stopped in front of him. Chen Xing opened the door and got in quickly. He Li, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned around and said with a smile, "Leader, where are you going now? Do you want to sit in my little place?"
"Let's find a place to drink something." Chen Xing shook his head and said casually.
"You just finished drinking tea. You want to drink again?" He Li looked at Chen Xing strangely. Seeing that Chen Xing was absent-minded, He Li rolled his eyes angrily. "I know a good cafe. Let's go to drink coffee. If you want to drink tea, they also serve it."
Chen Xing nodded subconsciously and said nothing. When they arrived at the destination and He Li said it was time to get off, Chen Xing came to his senses. He was a little absent-minded. He was going to leave this familiar city soon. Chen Xing was quite reluctant to leave. He didn't know if he would have the opportunity to return to Hai City to work in the future.
He Li? Chen Xing? When they walked into the cafe, a man coming toward them made Chen Xing and He Li stunned at the same time. The man was also stunned. He looked at He Li and Chen Xing in confusion, and his expression became more complicated.
"Hey, Zhao Qing, what a coincidence. Are you also drinking coffee here?" He Li smiled brightly. Meeting Zhao Qing here in this situation, life was really full of surprises.
Yes, I just finished drinking and am ready to leave. You? Zhao Qing looked back and forth between Chen Xing and He Li, as if trying to find some clues.
"We also came here to drink coffee." He Li smiled generously. Seeing Zhao Qing's expression, He Li felt very happy. In the past, Chen Xing belonged to Zhao Qing. Now, although Chen Xing didn't belong to her, at least she was closer to Chen Xing. He Li held his head high like a hen ready to fight and glanced at Zhao Qing with a hint of provocation. "Zhao Qing, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years. It's rare to meet you tonight. Do you want to sit down and have a cup of coffee together?"
Chen Xing glanced at He Li with a trace of helplessness in his eyes. "This He Li is really touching my sore spot. Perhaps she has long wanted to find her lost pride in front of Zhao Qing."
"Zhao Qing, if you have something to do, you can leave now. Let's sit down and have a chat next time." Chen Xing said. He saw that Zhao Qing was a little hesitant, and he didn't want to drink coffee at the same table with him, especially when He Li, who was eager to see the world in chaos, was here.
"Then let's sit together. Anyway, I have nothing to do." Zhao Qing suddenly agreed with a smile. He glanced at Chen Xing and He Li from left to right and from right to left. No one knew what Zhao Qing was thinking.
