At Haicheng Airport, Yang Zhen, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was waiting outside the airport in a Buick commercial car. Yang Zhen looked at the time and got out of the car, walking towards the exit of the airport.
Dad, is this Chen Xing worthy of you serving him so diligently now? Yang Ming also came with his father today. He borrowed the Buick commercial car from his friend because Chen Xing said that his parents were with him. Although an ordinary family car could sit, Yang Zhen thought it was too crowded. He was afraid that Chen Xing and his family would be uncomfortable, so he asked his son to get a seven-seater commercial car. Yang Ming then knew that his father was here to pick up Chen Xing.
What do you know? Whether you can take the position of executive deputy director depends on Chen Xing. Yang Zhen said to his son, "You have to be more respectful to Chen Xing in the future. Don't be impolite just because he is only one or two years older than you. You have to treat him like a leader.
Since he became rich, I have been very well-behaved in front of him. How can I be impolite? " Yang Ming rolled his eyes. In the past, they used to call each other brothers and drink together, but now he had to bow and bow to show respect. He really couldn't get used to it. "Chen Xing is now a deputy director.
Chen Xing is now a deputy director, and no one knows what level he will be able to reach in the future. There's nothing wrong with being respectful to him. There are only benefits and no downsides. You should also correct your mindset. We are relying on Chen Xing now, and we can't be on equal footing with him. You have to understand this. Yang Zhen said to his son.
Dad, do you think Chen Xing can really help you take the position of executive deputy director? Yang Ming was skeptical. He was more concerned about his father's position. Although the deputy director and executive deputy director were both deputy directors, there was a big difference. The executive deputy director assisted the director in the daily work of the Public Security Bureau. He was the real second in command, which was incomparable to an ordinary deputy director.
Definitely. Yang Zhen nodded confidently. Now that Zhang Yuanrong had been sent to the provincial capital to study, who knew if there would be a position for him when he came back. Perhaps he wouldn't even be able to stay in the public security system. At the very least, there wouldn't be a position for him in the city bureau. Huang Ping had asked me to temporarily take over Zhang Yuanrong's work. We also needed to work hard. We couldn't just wait for the position of Deputy Chief to fall into our hands.
Dad, I didn't see you attending any official's house. Besides, how can you be sure that Zhang Yuanrong was taken away because of Chen Xing? Yang Ming still couldn't believe this fact. After all, although Chen Xing was already a deputy director, he was no longer a cadre of Hai City. Could he still exert such great influence in Hai City?
That woman named Chu Rong had a close relationship with Chen Xing. Zhang Yuanrong had made a move on her, so he was unlucky. A few days before the New Year, Chen Xing had specially come back from the capital just for this matter. That day, I had just met him at noon. In the afternoon, I went to investigate for him and confirmed that it was related to Zhang Yuanrong.
The next day, Zhang Yuanrong was inexplicably sent to the provincial capital to study. Moreover, Huang Ping had personally presided over the meeting. Do you think this has nothing to do with Chen Xing? There's no such coincidence in this world. As Yang Zhen spoke, he looked at the exit of the airport. Let me tell you, this is an event.
Sigh, where did Chen Xing go? How could he run faster than a monkey? I was puzzled.
Even if he had Zhou Mingfang as his backer, he shouldn't have been promoted so quickly. Even if Zhou Mingfang was now the Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, he shouldn't have promoted his former secretary without any scruples. He should have known to avoid it appropriately. Moreover, this Chen Xing was promoted to the Central Ministry. I always felt that this matter wasn't something that Zhou Mingfang, a local Minister, could handle. Yang Ming voiced out his doubts. Don't think that he was usually sloppy.
He was also methodical when it came to talking about politics.
At this time, Yang Zhen also agreed with his son's words. This matter was indeed strange. I didn't know where Chen Xing got his power, but I was sure that Zhang Yuanrong was sent away by Chen Xing. This matter must have been approved by the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Huang Kunming. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it so quickly and ruthlessly. I just didn't know why Huang Kunming would give face to Chen Xing. I had only thought of one thing, but I didn't know the other.
Forget it, it was useless to think too much. Anyway, we knew that we had to be on good terms with Chen Xing. In the officialdom, seniority didn't matter. Whoever had a higher rank would have more power. At my age, it didn't matter if I served Chen Xing. As long as I could be the Executive Deputy Minister, it was worth it. Yang Zhen sighed. He was already in his early fifties, but he was still a deputy division chief. If he could become a deputy division chief in this lifetime, it would already be a blessing from Buddha. Look at Chen Xing, he was already a deputy division chief now. How could he compare himself to others? It would only be infuriating.
Dad, don't be discouraged. You're not that old. Maybe in the future, you'll be the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Yang Ming comforted his father with a smile.
Stop talking. They're coming. Yang Zhen interrupted his son. There were already passengers coming out of the exit. He also saw Chen Xing.
Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning were holding hands. They saw Yang Zhen and his son from afar and nodded to them. When they came closer, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Director Yang, you really came here on the first day of the New Year. You made me feel bad.
How could I? If you say that, Chen Xing, I won't be happy. " Yang Zhen enthusiastically offered to help Chen Xing carry his luggage. How could Chen Xing let him carry it? He smiled and shook his head. Director Yang, you don't have to do it. Your hands are not as strong as mine.
Yang Ming, go and help your Brother Chen carry it. Yang Zhen turned around and glared at his son. Why was this brat so stubborn at this time?
Yes, Brother Chen, let me carry this luggage. Otherwise, I'll be bored. Yang Ming got his father's signal and immediately walked over to help Chen Xing carry his luggage. In fact, it wasn't much. It was just a small travel bag.
Chen Xing couldn't refuse, so he had to let Yang Ming carry it. Looking helplessly at the overly enthusiastic father and son, Chen Xing knew why they did this. In the end, it was all about benefits.
Dad, Mom, this is the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Yang Zhen. Chen Xing introduced Yang Zhen to his parents. He pointed at Yang Ming and said, "That's Director Yang's son.
So it's Director Yang. Nice to meet you. " Chen Shuiping was slightly stunned. Soon, he calmly greeted Yang Zhen. This trip to Beijing had really broadened Chen Shuiping's horizons. After seeing the legendary old chief with his own eyes, Chen Shuiping felt that his vision had changed. Now, when he saw Yang Zhen, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau, Chen Shuiping felt that this position was too low.
In the past, Chen Shuiping would never have this kind of thought. Even when his son became the County Head, the Secretary of the County Party Committee, and the Deputy Director of the Bureau, Chen Shuiping was still polite to all the officials in the city. After all, he lived in Hai City. It was one thing for his son to be capable, but Chen Shuiping had always been kind to others. He would never offend anyone easily, nor would he put on airs. Fortunately, he had met Old Master Zhang. Now that they were in-laws, it was impossible to say that Chen Shuiping's mentality had not changed. However, it was one thing to think in his heart. Chen Shuiping was also very polite to Yang Zhen.
Director Yang, this is my wife, Zhang Ningning. Chen Xing once again introduced Zhang Ningning, who was beside him, to Yang Zhen.
Wife? Yang Zhen's mind went blank for a moment. Looking at Chen Xing, he didn't know how to react. Just now, from the expressions and behaviors of Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, he knew that they should be in a relationship. It was not surprising that they were in a relationship. However, he didn't know that Chen Xing was married. There should be some rumors about it. Yang Zhen had a strange look in his eyes. "Chen Xing, you're married?
Yes, I'm married. I just held a banquet in Beijing last night. Today, I'm coming back to Hai City to hold a banquet. At that time, Director Yang, please remember to come. " Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
It's an honor for me to attend your wedding, Chen Xing. Yang Zhen hurriedly said with a smile. He only glanced at Zhang Ningning, but he did not look at her carefully. At his age, he did not have much interest in women, nor would he deliberately look at them. He was more concerned about the black hat on his head. Being able to climb up the ranks was the most important thing for him.
On the contrary, when Yang Ming looked at Zhang Ningning in a daze for a while, he turned to look at Chen Xing again. There was no need to mention the envy in Yang Ming's heart. Chen Xing was really too happy. He had been promoted step by step in his official career and married such a beautiful wife. She could even be called beautiful and powerful. He used to think that because his father was the Deputy Director, he was very popular in society and everyone had to give him some face. Now, he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well. No matter how popular he was, he was only a little popular in Hai City, and he was not necessarily the most powerful. Those sons and nephews of the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government might not give him face.
Brother Chen, let's get in the car first. It's getting late. You, sister-in-law, uncle and auntie should not have eaten yet. My father has booked a table in the hotel. It's just in time to go over now. Yang Ming took the lead and walked to the car. He diligently helped Chen Xing put his luggage in the back compartment and quickly ran over to help open the door. He was very attentive. Seeing his son's performance, Yang Zhen smiled. It was okay to flatter others, but he was afraid that he didn't know how to do it. In this day and age, people who didn't know how to curry favor were more likely to be at a disadvantage than others.
Director Yang, I'm embarrassed that you came to pick me up, and I even made you spend money. You really make me feel embarrassed. Chen Xing smiled bitterly and exchanged glances with his parents. They couldn't say no. After all, they specially came to pick them up on the first day of the New Year and booked a table in the hotel to treat them. They couldn't open their mouths and say they wanted to go back first. They planned to hold a banquet at the hotel tomorrow night. They had a lot of things to do these two days.
Chen Xing, you don't have to be so polite with me. Yang Zhen smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line. As long as Chen Xing was grateful, Yang Zhen felt that it was not in vain.
They went to the hotel that Yang Zhen had booked. At the table, Yang Zhen toasted Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang, calling them "Brother Chen" and "Sister Zou", which made Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang beam with joy. In the past, others had called them that, but today, the person they called was the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, which made them feel very comfortable. Chen Xing smiled bitterly at the side. Yang Zhen and Yang Ming were really good at doing things. Why didn't he realize this before?
It was already past one o 'clock when they left the hotel. Yang Zhen and his son drove Chen Xing's family to their house, and then left happily. Yang Ming drove the car, and Yang Zhen sat in the passenger seat. Looking at Chen Xing and his family walking into the building through the rearview mirror, Yang Ming turned to his father and said with a smile, "Dad, I tried my best to cooperate with you today. Shouldn't you reward me later?
Don't be so cheeky with me. What do you mean by tried your best for me? If you have a good relationship with Chen Xing, you will benefit a lot. Since you have a good relationship with Chen Xing, you should call him and ask if he needs anything. If you need anything, you can run errands for him. You won't suffer any losses in the future. " Yang Zhen scolded with a smile.
"Dad, you don't have to do that. If you do that, I will become Chen Xing's slave." Yang Ming's eyes widened.
What did he mean by becoming a slave? Did he know how to talk? Yang Zhen's face suddenly darkened. "This is called foresight. You have the foresight to invest. While we can still hang out with Chen Xing, we should build a good relationship with Chen Xing and lay a good foundation for the future. Otherwise, when Chen Xing becomes a provincial official, do you think he will still want you to do things for him? At that time, there will be a lot of people competing to do things for him. To put it bluntly, those who want to be his slave will probably have to queue up. "
"Provincial official …" Yang Ming was speechless. "Dad, you are exaggerating. Although Chen Xing is great now, he is only a deputy department head. The higher he goes, the harder it will be. Is it possible for him to become a provincial official? Zhou Mingfang is only a deputy department head now. It is still unknown whether he can pass the hurdle of deputy department head. He is only a deputy department head himself. If he promotes a secretary to his position, he will be at most able to reach the main hall. But he wants to become a provincial official … Dad, are you really crazy? Look at how you make Chen Xing sound like a god. His parents are just middle school teachers and staff of the Forestry Bureau, not leaders of the central government."
Who could say for sure? It was extremely difficult to ascend from a Hall Master to a Deputy Hall Master, but Chen Xing had risen up like a rocket. Who would have thought that he would be able to do so? "Do you think it is possible that this is Zhou Mingfang's doing?" "I always feel that Chen Xing should be supported by a noble person." Yang Zhen frowned. Some of the things that happened to Chen Xing were really unbelievable. Chen Xing should be the cadre who was promoted the fastest he had ever seen. Anyway, it would not be wrong to have a good relationship with Chen Xing. "Well, even if I do as you say, the key is that Chen Xing is an official in the capital.
Alright, even if I do as you say, the key point is that Chen Xing is an official in Beijing. Even if I want to curry favor with him, there's no place for me to go. You can't expect me to stay in Beijing to serve him … Yang Ming said helplessly. He didn't quite agree with some of his father's words, but he couldn't deny that his father's words made sense. Moreover, Chen Xing was already a deputy director at the age of 30. His future was indeed bright. There was no harm in building a good relationship with Chen Xing.
"Are you stupid? If you want to have a good relationship with Chen Xing, you have to start with him. You can also start with the people around him." Yang Zhen smiled and squinted his eyes. "I have told you about Chu Rong. I can guarantee that her relationship with Chen Xing is not ordinary. You can contact her more in the future."
"By the way, don't be so greedy. Don't cross the line." Yang Zhen suddenly remembered that his son had changed girlfriends one after another. Until now, he still had not got married. It was necessary to give him a heads-up first.
"Dad, don't worry. I am not a bastard. Although Chu Rong is very attractive, she has a relationship with Chen Xing. I will never act recklessly." Yang Ming smiled bitterly. "Am I so bad in the eyes of my old man? I just have a few girlfriends. In the eyes of my old man, I am a hooligan. It is normal for a man to be a bit dissolute." Dad, I plan to open a building materials market with someone. You have to agree to this. "
"Who are you going to partner with? Are they reliable? " "Don't let them be people who want to drag you down because of your relationship." Yang Zhen frowned. He had always been wary of his son's business partners.
"Dad, don't worry. I don't believe that anyone dares to plot against me." Yang Zhen didn't think so.
"How about this? That Chu Rong is also a businessman. You can try to cooperate with her. In this way, you can have another layer of relationship. You can kill two birds with one stone. If you cooperate with her, I will not say anything." Yang Zhen made a suggestion.
"Yes, it is worth a try." Yang Ming's eyes lit up.
When Chen Xing and his family returned home, they were busy cleaning the house. Although they had only left for a few days, they had to clean the house as soon as they came back. Moreover, there was a saying during the Spring Festival that cleaning the house symbolized getting rid of the bad luck of the past year and hoped that the next year would be smooth.
At this time, Zhang Ningning was like a virtuous daughter-in-law. She helped Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang and called them "Dad" and "Mom" sweetly. Nothing made the old couple happier. The more they looked at this daughter-in-law, the more satisfied they were. Although she was a young lady from an aristocratic family, she was not delicate at all.
"Ningning, are you still uncomfortable in that place?" When Chen Xing saw Zhang Ningning walking awkwardly, he couldn't help but want to laugh. When the two of them were tidying up their room, Chen Xing closed the door gently and finally burst out laughing.
"It's all your fault. Who hurt me last night? Now you are making fun of me." Zhang Ningning rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. "You are not allowed to touch me for a month. This is your punishment."
"No, my dear wife, I will not dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time." When Chen Xing said this with a funny expression, the expression on his face was also perfect, which made Zhang Ningning laugh again. Chen Xing was a little absent-minded. When a beauty smiled, all the flowers would lose their color. Perhaps it was not an exaggeration to describe his precious wife.
With a "pop" sound, Chen Xing couldn't help kissing Zhang Ningning's forehead. He hugged this adorable little wife and moved his feet to roll on the bed. "Dear, let's do it again now."
"No, no, Chen Xing, my parents are still outside. How can I meet people if you let me go out?" Zhang Ningning was so scared that her beautiful face turned pale.
"Then I will go and lock the door. Let's be quiet so that my parents can't hear us. Besides, we are husband and wife now. What's wrong with doing some things between husband and wife? My parents are all experienced people, so they will not laugh at us." Chen Xing smirked and began to tease Zhang Ningning again. Seeing the other party's panicked expression, it was a different kind of charm.
"Chen Xing, I find that you are really becoming more and more perverted. It is still daytime, and you still want to do bad things in the daytime …" Zhang Ningning's big eyes were clear as they stared at Chen Xing.
When Chen Xing heard Zhang Ningning's words and looked at her pure eyes, his originally perverted hand that was about to reach out stopped immediately. He was completely defeated by Zhang Ningning's words.
"Dong, dong." There was a knock on the door. Chen Xing hurriedly climbed up from Zhang Ningning. Chen Shuiping's voice came from outside the door. "Chen Xing, who have you invited tomorrow night? Do you want to call and inform them again?"
"Got it, Dad. I know what I am doing." "That's good," Chen Xing replied.
"That's good. By the way, your uncles will be coming later." After Chen Shuiping finished speaking, there was no sound. Chen Xing listened carefully. After making sure that his father had left, he was about to press down on him again. Zhang Ningning had already sat up hurriedly as if she was escaping. She stared at Chen Xing as if he was a thief.
Chen Xing rolled his eyes. His wife was still too thin-skinned. She could not let go at all. But then again, this kind of Zhang Ningning was the most beautiful Zhang Ningning in his eyes. Maybe one day when Zhang Ningning behaved boldly in front of him, he would not be able to find this kind of feeling anymore.
The phone rang at this time. Chen Xing took it out and had a look. His heart trembled. It was a call from Chu Rong. He really chose the right time. He did not dare to answer Chu Rong's call in front of Zhang Ningning. Although he would not be found out if he behaved normally, those who had a guilty conscience would always feel particularly guilty. Chen Xing was no exception. He quietly put down Chu Rong's call, shrugged, and said to Zhang Ningning with a smile, "These days, I always receive strange calls. Nowadays, there are so many ways for swindlers to cheat money."
"I used to work in a bank, so I have come into contact with this kind of thing a lot. There are only things that you can't think of, but there is nothing that can't be done by swindlers." Zhang Ningning nodded in agreement and did not think much about it. "Chen Xing, I will go out to help mom clean the outside. You can clean the room yourself. I dare not stay in here anymore, in case some lecher tries to touch me."
