Secretary Jiang was the secretary of Li Huaiyuan, the deputy minister. His name was Jiang Da. Even though Wang Rongyan was the director, he had to be polite to Jiang Da and even had to flatter him. The reason was that Li Huaiyuan ranked first among the several deputy ministers in the ministry and was the first person under the minister. Moreover, the minister, Liu Hongwei, would retire after this term. Li Huaiyuan was the most likely person to take over the position of minister.
Of course, there was no lack of people from other places to be the minister, but Li Huaiyuan was undoubtedly the most promising. According to Wang Rongyan's own grapevine, Li Huaiyuan had a good relationship with the Zhang family at the top. Based on this alone, Li Huaiyuan would have a lot of advantages if he wanted to take over the position. The Zhang family was not a family that anyone could easily get in touch with. Wang Rongyan had lived in the capital for a long time, so he knew better than the local people how powerful and influential the Zhang family, the hidden red family, was.
Was Chen Xing related to Deputy Minister Li? Wang Rongyan frowned. Looking at the backs of Chen Xing and Jiang Da, Wang Rongyan had to think deeply. If Chen Xing was really related to Li Huaiyuan, then he had to adjust his attitude towards Chen Xing in the future. Even if he couldn't make friends with him, at least he couldn't offend him.
Chen Xing and Jiang Da walked to Li Huaiyuan's office together. In the corridor, Jiang Da was also testing Chen Xing's intention. He paid some attention to the transfer of such a young deputy director, but he didn't always pay attention to whether Chen Xing had come or not. It was not until Li Huaiyuan asked him to find Chen Xing that Jiang Da knew that Chen Xing had come in the afternoon. However, he was more shocked that Li Huaiyuan knew it earlier than him. Could it be that Li Huaiyuan had been paying attention to Chen Xing all the time?
This speculation alone was enough for Jiang Da to raise Chen Xing's status infinitely. A person who could make Li Huaiyuan pay so much attention to had enough reason for him to treat him seriously. No matter what Chen Xing's background was, Jiang Da knew that he had to be polite to Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing was the person that the leader paid attention to.
Deputy Director Chen, Deputy Minister Li is inside. You can go in. When they arrived at the door, Jiang Da didn't follow them in. During this short walk, Jiang Da didn't get any useful information from his probing of Chen Xing. But no matter what, Jiang Da had made up his mind to interact more with Chen Xing in the future. Since Chen Xing was valued by Li Huaiyuan the moment he arrived, it couldn't be simple.
Alright, thank you, Secretary Jiang. Chen Xing nodded and smiled at Jiang Da. He pushed the door open and walked in. The office was huge and decorated in a dignified manner. When Chen Xing walked in, he saw Li Huaiyuan sitting on the sofa, making tea. Li Huaiyuan looked young, only in his early fifties.
Chen Xing didn't recognize Li Huaiyuan, but there was only one person sitting on the sofa in this office. Obviously, it was the owner of this office, Li Huaiyuan, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry. Chen Xing walked over quickly and faced Li Huaiyuan with some humility. Deputy Minister Li, you were looking for me?
Little Chen, you're here. Sit down. Li Huaiyuan looked at Chen Xing with a smile. His attitude was very friendly. He pointed at the sofa in front of him, signaling Chen Xing to sit down.
Second Brother Zhang called me and said that you arrived in the capital today. I guessed that you would come to the Ministry in the afternoon. Li Huaiyuan went straight to the point and let Chen Xing know what was going on.
Second Uncle Zhang? Chen Xing looked at Li Huaiyuan with some uncertainty. In fact, he was sure that Second Brother Zhang was Zhang Ningning's second uncle, Zhang Guozhong. On the way here with Jiang Da, Chen Xing guessed that this Minister Li should be the Zhang family's connection in the Ministry. The Zhang family didn't tell him which leader he was going to visit, but the Ministry had informed him. Li Huaiyuan even asked his secretary to invite him to meet him. Chen Xing was shocked. This was the Zhang family's confidence!
Yes, you should call him Second Uncle Zhang. Li Huaiyuan nodded with a smile and said casually, "Little Chen, I heard that the wedding between you and Little Ningning is coming soon? I wonder if you will invite me to your wedding at that time.
That's for sure. It's an honor for me and Ningning to have you come, Deputy Minister Li. " Chen Xing nodded and agreed, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. There were really many people who wanted to invite him to his wedding. Chen Xing knew clearly that they were all aiming at the Zhang family. According to what Zhang Ningning said, Great-grandfather Zhang might have to reveal his private parts at that time. Moreover, those who were qualified to attend the wedding were at least at the deputy ministerial level and above. Those who were below the deputy ministerial level were too embarrassed to open their mouths and say that they wanted to attend, unless they were also descendants of the red family or had a close relationship with the Zhang family. Otherwise, they didn't even need to think about it.
It would be an honor to attend the wedding between you and Little Ningning. " Li Huaiyuan whispered in his heart. The little princess of the Zhang family was going to have a wedding at the end of the year. In the capital, as long as they were presentable, most people would know about this news. The price of an invitation was almost skyrocketing. Those who wanted to attend this wedding were not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but also businessmen, rich people and other social celebrities. They were all proud of being able to attend this wedding. It was said that some celebrities in the entertainment circle, in order to show their faces on this kind of occasion and make friends with some noble people, were trying to use their connections everywhere to see if they could get an invitation. However, even if they spent a lot of money to get an invitation, they could only sit on the periphery. However, this alone was enough to make people fight hard to get in.
Although Li Huaiyuan whispered in his heart, he couldn't say these words in front of Chen Xing. Looking at Chen Xing, Li Huaiyuan said with a smile, "How do you feel? You've just arrived at the Ministry. Do you feel that everything is very strange? The work in the Ministry is quite different from your local work.
I've just arrived today, so it's more or less strange. However, I'll try my best to familiarize myself with the work as soon as possible. " Chen Xing's answer was in line with the norm. Li Huaiyuan was polite to him, but he knew how to know his own position. Some things still needed to rely on his own efforts.
"Well, with this attitude, I'm not afraid of not doing well. I believe in your ability." Li Huaiyuan nodded with a smile. At the same time, he didn't forget to reassure Chen Xing. "Second Brother Zhang put you in my place. He didn't ask me to take special care of you, but I'll make it clear that as long as it's beneficial to your work, you can do whatever you want. If anyone makes trouble for you, I'll make trouble for him."
"Thank you, Deputy Minister Li, for your support." Chen Xing expressed his gratitude. Li Huaiyuan's words couldn't be clearer. Chen Xing felt grateful in his heart, but at the same time, he was astonished. He had seen another side of the upper echelons. They weren't as mysterious as the rumors made them out to be. Every word they said was full of mystery and mystery, making people ponder over it until their hair turned white. Sometimes, their words were equally straightforward.
When Chen Xing came out of Li Huaiyuan's office, only half an hour had passed. Li Huaiyuan called him over to see him, but it wasn't to the extent that they had endless things to talk about. After some polite words and a few words of concern, the meeting ended. However, Li Huaiyuan still called Zhang Guozhong "Second Brother Zhang" respectfully, which made Chen Xing sigh with emotion.
"Deputy Minister Li didn't say anything, did he?" Jiang Da had been guarding outside the door. Seeing Chen Xing come out, Jiang Da immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Nothing, Deputy Minister Li asked me to do my work down-to-earth." Chen Xing smiled, but he didn't tell the truth.
"Well, Deputy Minister Li, please don't let Deputy Minister Li down." Jiang Da nodded with a smile and didn't ask anything more. He also knew that he couldn't get any information from Chen Xing for the time being. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Chen Xing went to the office of Director Wang Rongyan again. This time, Wang Rongyan stood up to welcome him in person. Chen Xing noticed this detail, but he wasn't too surprised. "The people in the Ministry are also realistic and smart."
"Deputy Minister Chen, let's have dinner with the cadres above the middle level of the Department of Higher Education to welcome you." Wang Rongyan walked to Chen Xing with a smile and said calmly, "Why did Deputy Minister Li ask you over just now?"
"Nothing, Deputy Minister Li told me that the work in the Ministry is very different from that in the local area, and I need to familiarize myself with the work as soon as possible." Chen Xing made up some nonsense.
"Yes, the work in the Ministry is indeed very different from that in the local area. Deputy Minister Chen, if you have any questions about your work, you can ask me. Well, you can also ask Deputy Minister Chen." Wang Rongyan smiled warmly.
In Wang Rongyan's office, Chen Xing was inevitably tested again. As soon as he arrived, he was invited by Deputy Minister Li Huaiyuan, who ranked first in the Ministry. No wonder Wang Rongyan and Li Huaiyuan's secretary Jiang Da were so curious about Chen Xing's background.
After returning to his small office, Chen Xing had just sat down when he saw Chen Danying, who worked in the office next door, walking over again. She was wearing a custom-made professional suit, which fully accentuated her beautiful figure. Chen Xing couldn't tell her true age, but it had something to do with the fact that her face and figure were well-maintained. She wasn't inferior to those young ladies in their twenties.
"Deputy Minister Chen just went to Deputy Minister Li's office?" Chen Danying rolled her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Xing.
