How did Director Sun know Lin Gang? The car had already left, and Lin Gang and Lin Mao had disappeared from his sight. Chen Xing couldn't help but ask Sun Zhangsheng, who was driving in the front.
It was a coincidence that he knew Lin Gang. He happened to sit next to him at the meeting of the directors of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so they chatted for a while. He knew that Lin Gang was from Jiang City. Last time, he heard that Lin Gang had become the Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Department, so he contacted him. Lin Gang is a great man. I guess he will become the head of the public security system of Jianghai Province. Sun Zhangsheng smiled.
Chen Xing nodded. So that's what happened. He was wondering how the two of them knew each other even though they were both chiefs of the Public Security Bureau, one was stationed in the South while the other was stationed in the North.
Did Director Chen know Lin Gang? Sun Zhangsheng also asked. From Chen Xing's words, it was not hard to tell that Chen Xing was not a stranger to Lin Gang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called Lin Gang's name so easily.
He didn't know Lin Gang, but he had heard of him. Chen Xing curled his lips. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of Lin Gang. Judging from Lin Mao's behavior, Lin Gang, as the father, couldn't be any better. It was the father's fault for not teaching his son well. If the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. Lin Gang and Lin Mao were birds of the same feather.
Sun Zhangsheng observed Chen Xing's expression from the rearview mirror. He wanted to say more, but he swallowed his words. It seemed that Chen Xing knew Lin Gang, but their relationship seemed to be a little strange, at least not a good one. Sun Zhangsheng could tell that. At this moment, he naturally didn't mention anything that would spoil Chen Xing's mood.
After tonight, Sun Zhangsheng's understanding of Chen Xing had undoubtedly improved. He not only knew that Chen Xing was the deputy director of the Ministry of Discipline Inspection, but more importantly, he knew that Chen Xing had a close relationship with the Zhang family. Although he didn't know that Chen Xing was going to become the son-in-law of the Zhang family, based on the good relationship between Chen Xing and the young master of the Zhang family tonight, Sun Zhangsheng had already made it worthwhile for him to make friends with Chen Xing. As for Chen Xing's position as the deputy director, Sun Zhangsheng didn't pay much attention to it. If it were any other deputy director, Sun Zhangsheng wouldn't care about it.
Sun Zhangsheng drove Chen Xing back to the residential area. This time, Chen Xing politely asked him to go upstairs to have a seat. Sun Zhangsheng agreed casually. He couldn't wait to sit in Chen Xing's house for a while longer. However, when they arrived at the residential area, it was already past 11 o 'clock. Sun Zhangsheng took his leave after a while. As for the luxurious house that Chen Xing lived in, Sun Zhangsheng ignored it. Whether a middle-level official like Chen Xing could afford such a luxurious house had nothing to do with him. He was not a member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even if he was, he wouldn't dare to investigate it.
"Director Chen, please wait a minute." Sun Zhangsheng smiled as he walked out the door. His footsteps paused for a moment. Sun Zhangsheng said in a seemingly unintentional manner, "Director Chen, if you have any special requests last night, feel free to let me know.
Just do what you need to do with the case. I won't interfere. " Chen Xing smiled and sent Sun Zhangsheng to the elevator. He said politely, "Director Sun, please come again when you are free."
Sun Zhangsheng left. When Chen Xing was about to go back to his room, the door of the single apartment next to Song Zhi's suddenly opened. Song Zhi looked out of the door. When he saw Chen Xing was alone, Song Zhi waved his hand and a man came out. Chen Xing was surprised. Who else could it be but Chen Zhongwei?
Mr. Chen, please be kind and give me a chance to apologize. As soon as Chen Zhongwei came out, he bowed and bowed to Chen Xing.
What are you doing? Chen Xing stared at Chen Zhongwei. His question was directed at Song Zhi. Yesterday, he was almost persecuted by Chen Zhongwei. Today, he came to apologize on Chen Zhongwei's behalf?
"Handsome, this really has nothing to do with me. This Chen guy knows my place and came here himself. From the time I called you at noon until now, he has been staying outside the door. In the afternoon, I ignored him and went shopping by myself. When I came back in the evening, he was still here. At night, I watched TV in my room. When I opened the door at about 10 o 'clock, he was still here. You see, I had no choice." Song Zhi also looked aggrieved.
"Tsk." Chen Xing curled his lips. What kind of nonsense was this? He glanced at Song Zhi. This little girl was acting as if nothing had happened. Chen Xing couldn't help glaring at her. It's all your fault. "Hey, handsome, don't accuse me wrongly.
Hey, handsome man, don't accuse me wrongly. This Chen fellow came to apologize to you, and I had no choice. I couldn't chase him away, and I couldn't call the police to chase him away. When he saw you coming back, he wanted to wait for you at the door, but when he heard the voice of that Bureau Chief Sun from last night, he wanted to hide in my room as if his life depended on it. I couldn't do anything about it. Song Zhi put herself out of the picture. This matter really had nothing to do with her.
If you have anything to say, say it here. After listening to Song Zhi's explanation, Chen Xing turned to look at Chen Zhongwei. He was puzzled. This person should be under investigation in the Public Security Bureau. How did Sun Zhangsheng become the director? It seemed that what Sun Zhangsheng said before he left also had a hidden meaning.
Mr. Chen, I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai last night. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I really have a family to take care of. My children are still crying piteously. My whole family depends on me to support them. Mr. Chen, please be kind and don't be calculative with a small person like me. " Chen Zhongwei's words were really miserable.
Song Zhi, who was at the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Why did this scene look so funny? It was as if they were filming a TV show, and the lines were directly copied from the screen. Song Zhi had never thought that Chen Zhongwei, who was the local bully in the West City District, would be so obedient and admit his mistake like a complete clown.
It's not a matter of whether I forgive you or not. I never said that I would cause trouble for you. The police are involved in this matter. How the police handle the case is their business. It has nothing to do with me. If you are not guilty, no one will cause trouble for you. Chen Xing's head hurt. He was most afraid of this kind of pestering person.
Mr. Chen, as long as you don't cause trouble for me, the police won't cause trouble for me. Chen Zhongwei felt that Chen Xing's tone seemed to be a little more relaxed. His face lit up.
What? You mean that you have someone in the Public Security Bureau. Aren't you afraid of being investigated? Chen Xing stared at Chen Zhongwei.
No … no, that's not what I meant. The main thing is that I haven't done anything bad. Of course, the police won't cause trouble for me. Chen Zhongwei realized that he had said something wrong. He laughed awkwardly.
Well, you go back first. If you stay here, you will only make me feel more disgusted. If you really don't leave, I will ask Director Sun to come and bring you here. Chen Xing said with a dark face.
No, no, I will go by myself. Mr. Chen, I will go by myself. When Chen Zhongwei heard that he would ask Sun Zhangsheng to come, he was almost scared out of his wits. If Sun Zhangsheng came, he would really be finished.
Chen Zhongwei left gloomily. Chen Xing looked at Song Zhi. At this time, he seriously noticed that today's dress was obviously different from before. Chen Xing couldn't help laughing. "You can just put on some light makeup. Why do you have to make yourself look like a fairy like before? You don't look like a human or a ghost."
"Oh my god, uncle, I really have to call you uncle. You are outdated. You used to be a coquettish person. Do you understand?" "What do you mean by not looking like a human or a ghost? I think you have no artistic cells at all. You don't know how to appreciate it. Forget it. It's like playing the lute to a cow." Song Zhi was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. She was actually quite satisfied with her previous makeup. Now that Chen Xing said that she looked like a ghost, she was so angry that her face turned green.
"I don't know what kind of coquettish person you are. Look at how beautiful you are now. I feel refreshed and comfortable just by looking at you." Chen Xing laughed. Sometimes it was fun to tease this little girl. After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his room.
"Humph, I can't communicate with an antique like you. Now this is called the pure and innocent person." Song Zhi curled her lips. However, when she heard Chen Xing praise her today's dress, Song Zhi was still quite proud. "Well, uncle, I will go home for winter vacation tomorrow. See you next year."
"Oh." Chen Xing stopped. "Vacation so soon?"
"Is this fast? It's already very late. It's almost the New Year." Song Zhi rolled her eyes again.
"Right, it will be the New Year in more than ten days." Chen Xing suddenly understood. "Most colleges and universities have their holidays at this time. Okay, see you next year. I wish you a happy New Year in advance."
"Well, I also wish you a happy New Year."
The sun rose in the east and set in the west. Days passed quietly. The wedding of Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning was gradually approaching. The whole Zhang family was in a festive mood. They had already started preparing for the wedding. On the contrary, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning were free. They didn't need to worry about the wedding.
There were only three days left until Lunar New Year's Eve, which also meant that their wedding was only three days away. That afternoon, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning could still find time to have afternoon tea. While others were busy preparing for their wedding, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened. They didn't have to do anything. Even a house had been prepared for them. It was a villa in the suburbs of the capital. It was the wedding house that Zhang Ming had given to them. They hadn't even visited it yet.
"Ningning, you went to the mountains with the Red Cross these days. Have you experienced the hardships of the western mountains?" Chen Xing sat down and smiled. Zhang Ningning went out again within two days after returning to Beijing. He didn't know if it was a sudden impulse. He called Chen Xing and told him that he was going to the west with the Red Cross. Then he left. He didn't come back until today, saying that he had to focus on preparing for the wedding in the last few days.
"The people living in the mountains are really hard. If you don't see it for yourself, you can't imagine what kind of life they lead. Look at the developed areas along the eastern coast, and then look at the western mountains. I really don't know what to say. Everyone lives in the same country, but their lives are worlds apart. The children there asked me what a car is and whether it can be eaten. When I heard that and looked into the innocent eyes of the children, tears fell." Zhang Ningning was deeply touched.
"It can't be helped. This is how society is. Absolute fairness can't exist. Even a highly developed country like the United States has slums, let alone a developing country like China. There will always be a gap between the rich and the poor. The imbalance of social distribution can't be changed overnight." Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. In the developed areas along the eastern coast, there were many rich people and poor people. The rich people got richer, and the poor people got poorer.
The gap between the rich and the poor didn't always exist, but it was getting bigger and bigger. In recent years, the economic reform of the country had deviated. Zhang Ningning frowned.
"Ningning, you have to be careful about what you say." Chen Xing's heart tightened, and he looked around subconsciously. If ordinary people said this, they might be dissatisfied with the current situation and complain about the achievements of the country's reform. However, it came from Zhang Ningning. If it was heard by the senior officials, it would cause a great uproar. This was only because the old master of the Zhang family was still alive, and Zhang Ningning couldn't necessarily represent the Zhang family. However, even if it was just her personal words, just because her surname was Zhang, there would be many people in the senior officials who would suspect that it was the old master of the Zhang family who was dissatisfied with the current situation of the reform.
"Oh, I just said it casually. Of course, I won't say it to others." Zhang Ningning smiled bitterly. "Freedom of speech, freedom of speech. I don't know who this freedom is for."
"Ningning, in fact, we are much luckier than most people. Think about it. Even you have this feeling. What about ordinary people? What do they think?" Chen Xing smiled bitterly. Even the son of a rich and powerful family like Zhang Ningning would have this kind of feeling, not to mention ordinary people. Only when the law can be thoroughly implemented and carried out, it means that the country has embarked on the road of a high degree of rule of law. His beloved motherland still has a long way to go. "
"Yes, we are much luckier than ordinary people. At least we can say what we want to say, and the people from the Public Security Bureau dare not arrest us." Zhang Ningning playfully stuck out her tongue. She was full of spirituality in this way.
"Ningning, we will have many happy days in the future. Now we should be happy. Let's not talk about these heavy topics." Chen Xing smiled. Zhang Ningning was also sentimental. Chen Xing didn't want to see her bitter face.
"Yes, we should say something happy. So I have decided to announce an important decision about your future wife to you." Zhang Ningning smiled. "Chen Xing, I have decided to start my own business. I will open a company to make money and then set up a charity foundation. I will use the wealth I earn to help those who need help, especially the children in the mountainous areas. I hope that everyone can go to school, have food to eat, and have someone to rely on when they are old."
"Ningning, are you serious?" Chen Xing became serious. He couldn't see a trace of joking in Zhang Ningning's eyes. She was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. Even the old master of the Zhang family couldn't do anything to her. Chen Xing knew that once Zhang Ningning decided on something, no one could change her mind.
"Yes, I am serious." Zhang Ningning's expression was solemn. "In the past, I always thought that my living conditions were good because I had a good grandfather. I never cherished my life and always thought that these material conditions were so easy to get. In fact, these were all wrong. Our Zhang family was enjoying it with the taxpayers' money."
"Ningning, you can't say it like this. Your grandfather is the founding father of the country. He has made too many contributions to this country. It is our country's duty to provide for him. He is respected and loved by the people. No one will say that he is wasting the taxpayers' money." Chen Xing enlightened.
"It is true that my grandfather is enjoying the treatment he deserves, but we, the Zhang family, are not qualified to bask in his glory. After all, my grandfather is my grandfather, and we are us. We should be separated.
"Ningning, I think your way of thinking is a bit of a dead end. Your grandfather is originally separated from you. Look at the medical and security services your grandfather enjoys. You can't enjoy them. Besides, you have never squandered the taxpayers' money. Compared to others, you are so much better. Think about it, there are countless corrupt officials who are shamelessly squandering the taxpayers' hard-earned money every day." Chen Xing laughed.
"What you said makes sense. I am a bit extreme. These days, when I went deep into the western mountain area, it really touched me a lot. Maybe it is because it is my first time going there, so I am especially touched. Looking at the other people in the team, many of them are used to it.
"No matter what ideas you have, I will support you. If you want to establish a charity foundation, I will raise both hands in support. In the future, when my wife becomes a respected philanthropist, I will also bask in her glory." Chen Xing said half-jokingly.
"Well, our Zhang family enjoys the power that others don't have. I want to make use of this to do good deeds, hoping to help more people. By the way, Chen Xing, donate all the gifts we received at the wedding." Zhang Ningning's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I don't think it is necessary to donate it. Don't you want to set up your own charity foundation? Just donate it to yourself." Chen Xing laughed.
"Right, I almost forgot. If I really donate it to those charities, I don't know how much it will be used for the children in the mountain area." Zhang Ningning curled his lips. "In the future, when I set up my own charity foundation, I will strive to use every penny wisely. I will never waste a single cent."
"That's good. When the time comes, I am willing to donate all my savings." Chen Xing said with a laugh. "We are husband and wife."
When they were chatting happily, Chen Xing's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw it was a strange number. Chen Xing picked it up casually. As soon as he heard the voice on the other end, Chen Xing's face was full of black lines. "It is Zhang Yang again."
"Director Chen, you finally answered the phone. If I didn't change the number, you probably wouldn't answer my call. Do you hate me so much?" Zhang Yang said on the phone in a slightly spoiled manner. Chen Xing's blood froze when he heard it. Zhang Ningning sat opposite him. If he heard something wrong, it would only increase the misunderstanding.
Chen Xing wanted to hang up the phone in a hurry. Zhang Ningning gestured to Chen Xing and pointed in the direction of the bathroom. Then he stood up and walked out. Chen Xing heaved a sigh of relief. He was very annoyed. "Miss Chang, why do you keep calling me when you don't have anything to tell me?"
Chen Xing was very angry, but he couldn't lose his temper. These days, Zhang Yang had called him more than once or twice. Almost every day, there would be several harassing calls. If he didn't answer the call, Zhang Yang would send messages. Chen Xing was annoyed. Yesterday, he had blacklisted Zhang Yang and refused to answer his calls and messages. Now, today, Zhang Yang called him using another number. Moreover, it happened when Zhang Ningning was in the room.
"Director Chen, can't I have dinner and tea with you when I don't have anything to do? Don't be so nervous."
"Miss Chang, you are too famous. I can't bear it. I'm afraid that I will be photographed by paparazzi or something. The next day, I will be in the entertainment headlines. You'd better do me a favor. You can afford to be in the entertainment headlines, but I can't."
Chen Xing sneered. His wedding day with Zhang Ningning was getting closer and closer. Chen Xing also listened to the advice of his brother-in-law, Zhang Yi. Recently, he went to work and got off work according to the rules. Apart from socializing with acquaintances or colleagues, he did nothing else. He was afraid that Wang Zheng would take advantage of him. If something unexpected happened, it would be bad. Therefore, before he married Zhang Ningning, Chen Xing didn't plan to have any contact with Zhang Yang. Originally, he planned to spend some time with Zhang Yang after the wedding. He wanted to see if the devil was stronger or the devil was stronger. This Zhang Yang was quite patient. He persistently called him every day to ask him out.
"Miss Chang, I've been busy recently. Let's call each other when I'm free in a few days." Chen Xing didn't wait for Zhang Yang to say more and immediately hung up the phone. In the end, he didn't forget to blacklist the number that Zhang Yang had just called. Chen Xing drank a mouthful of tea to calm himself down.
He and Zhang Ningning were about to get married. He didn't know whether it was Zhang Yang or Wang Zheng who was haunting him. But no matter what, it had something to do with Wang Zheng. This Wang Zheng was really despicable. There was no reason for him not to know that Zhang Ningning and he were going to get married in three days. Now he still wanted to play dirty tricks? It was such a waste that he was born in such a good family. All the elite education he received was wasted on a dog.
The buzzing vibration provoked Chen Xing's nerves again. He just put his phone in his trouser pocket and it vibrated again. This time, Chen Xing was really angry. Seeing that Zhang Ningning hadn't come out yet, Chen Xing took out his phone and was about to scold Zhang Yang. But the other party called again.
He Li? Chen Xing, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly froze. This time, it was He Li.
He Li. What's wrong?
