After the luxurious wedding, everything returned to peace. At the age of 30, Chen Xing finally said goodbye to his single life. When he held the red marriage certificate in his hand, it meant that Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning had become a real family. Both families were officially established. The Huang family was still immersed in a festive atmosphere. The wedding couplets and the big "Double Happiness" character in the middle of the gate were still as red as yesterday.
Chen Xingxing and Zou Fang moved back to the house on campus, leaving the suite for the couple to use. Although Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning said that they didn't need it, Zou Fang still smiled and said that it was better for them to live separately. The couple needed their own private space.
Chen Xing didn't say anything more. They would only stay in Hai City for a few days. He was going to the capital on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and Zhang Ningning might arrive one or two days earlier. Therefore, they would only stay for two or three days. After that, they would ask their parents to move back.
Early in the morning, Chen Xing personally drove Kong Yuxuan to the airport. Kong Yuxuan, who had just flown from the capital yesterday, would fly back to the capital this morning just to do Zhang Ningning's hair. There was no doubt about his sincerity. Although Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning insisted on paying, Kong Yuxuan refused. Chen Xing and his wife had no choice but to follow Kong Yuxuan's wishes. Originally, Chen Xing wanted to be a tour guide to show Kong Yuxuan the local customs of Hai City, but Kong Yuxuan declined with a smile. He said that he would come again if he had the chance. He had already booked the earliest flight this morning.
Mr. Chen, sorry to trouble you to wake up so early. Actually, I could have just taken a taxi. When they arrived at the airport, Kong Yuxuan smiled and thanked Chen Xing.
Miss Kong, you're too polite. You flew all the way to Hai City during the Lunar New Year. It's not a big deal for me to drive you to the airport. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.
I'm afraid that I'll disturb Mr. Chen's good morning. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. Don't you think so, Mr. Chen? Kong Yuxuan blinked his eyes and smiled strangely.
If I don't come out to see you off, my Ningning will kick me out of bed. Chen Xing smiled faintly and pretended that he didn't understand Kong Yuxuan's ambiguous joke. As the cold morning wind blew, Chen Xing felt a little cold. Seeing that Kong Yuxuan was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt, Chen Xing couldn't help but remind him with a smile, "Miss Kong, be careful not to catch a cold. It's better to wear a small coat."
When I arrived at Haicheng yesterday afternoon, I almost broke out in a sweat. The temperature in Beijing was still a few degrees below zero, but when I got off the plane, it was more than ten to twenty degrees here. This is a big contrast. "Kong Yuxuan smiled and looked at the time. Kong Yuxuan said," Mr. Chen, my flight is almost here. I have to go in now. Thank you for sending me off. "
Miss Kong was too polite. Chen Xing nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Then, I wish Miss Kong a pleasant journey."
"Thank you." Kong Yuxuan nodded and smiled. He glanced at Chen Xing and said, "Mr. Chen, we'll meet again."
"Okay, we'll meet again." Chen Xing nodded and responded. He didn't take these polite words to heart. Both of them were in the capital. In fact, there would be many opportunities for them to meet again. Chen Xing wouldn't think too much about it.
Watching them walk into the departure hall, Chen Xing also drove back. Zhang Ningning was still lying in bed. When Chen Xing opened the door and came in, Zhang Ningning opened the bedroom door and came in, Zhang Ningning didn't notice it. Zhang Ningning was tired last night. Early in the morning, he asked Chen Xing to send Kong Yuxuan to the airport and fell asleep again.
Chen Xing climbed onto the bed. The cold wind blew in through the gap of the quilt. Zhang Ningning opened his sleepy eyes. "Sent him away?
That's nonsense. If he didn't, I would be here. " Chen Xing smiled and pulled Zhang Ningning's body to his side. "Every minute of the night is worth a thousand gold. Come on, we didn't have enough last night. Let's continue to do morning exercises in the morning. It's healthier to do it in the morning. Don't waste the beautiful scenery."
"You are so bad. Why didn't I find out that you are a big lecher before?" Zhang Ningning smiled and patted Chen Xing.
…
At almost 10 o 'clock in the morning, they got up from the bed. Zhang Ningning punched and beat Chen Xing, laughing and scolding that it was all Chen Xing's fault. He slept so late on the first day, which might leave a bad impression on his parents. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. His parents loved this precious daughter-in-law very much. Why would they ask too much of Zhang Ningning?
"Chen Xing, I plan to go back to the capital on the fifth day of the New Year, which is the day after tomorrow, to prepare for the establishment of the foundation."
At the dining table, Zhang Ningning cooked two simple poached eggs for their breakfast. It was already 10 o 'clock. It was time for lunch after filling their stomachs. The two sat down and ate. Zhang Ningning and Chen Xing talked about their plans.
"Let me see. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the capital with you on the fifth day of the New Year. If there is something, I will go back on the sixth day." Chen Xing frowned. He really didn't know if he needed to busy himself with other things. "It's okay.
I can go back by myself. If you come with me, I won't have time to accompany you back to the capital. I think you should go back on the sixth day of the New Year. My parents are in Hai City. You are working in the capital now. It's rare for you to come back. Stay at home with them for one more day. " Zhang Ningning smiled.
"Okay, I will stay at home for one more day." Chen Xing nodded. Zhang Ningning's words were indeed what he was thinking. He worked in the capital and couldn't come back often. He wanted to stay at home for one more day to accompany his parents and fulfill his filial piety.
"Well, you will go back on the sixth day of the New Year." Zhang Ningning smiled. She didn't like to stick to her husband like ordinary women. Thinking about the foundation, Zhang Ningning wrinkled her delicate nose. There would be a lot of things to do to prepare the foundation. There would be a lot of procedures. Fortunately, with her family's connections, the approval procedures were easier than others. Otherwise, she would be in a terrible fix.
Yes, it was not so easy to prepare a charity foundation. Chen Xing nodded in agreement. With her family's connections, Zhang Ningning would take a lot less detours than others.
The foundation couldn't be neglected. At the same time, she had to think about what kind of company she wanted to set up. She couldn't just rely on other people's donations to run the foundation. She had to have her own source of income. Otherwise, the foundation couldn't grow. If it didn't grow, it couldn't help more people. Money, money. She didn't think that money could do anything before. Now she knew that money was a good thing. Zhang Ningning was like a little money-grubber at this time. Her mind was full of shiny money.
The wedding gift money and my own savings are almost 500,000. This money will be donated to your charity foundation that hasn't even taken shape yet. Although it's a drop in the bucket, it's a token of a husband's love for his wife. Chen Xing said with a smile. He didn't feel reluctant to support Zhang Ningning's career.
You have 500,000 savings? Ah, you're not corrupt, are you? Zhang Ningning teased. It was always Chen Xing who took advantage of her with his words. It was rare for her to fight back.
Do you think I'm that kind of person? Chen Xing rolled his eyes. Although he knew that Zhang Ningning was joking, Chen Xing still explained, "I have a good friend who has a business. I also invested in it. I earned money and got dividends. In fact, it's more than that. But his business wants to expand, so he invested money again. Otherwise, he could take out more."
"Oh, that's it." Zhang Ningning understood and nodded. Then she began to make her own calculations again. She smiled slyly. "Since it's a token of a husband's love for his wife, I will accept it without hesitation. Plus my savings, well, I have about 10 million. By the way, I haven't brought the money from Zhang Ming. He said that he took the invitation to the auction. I don't know how much it was sold for. Hmph, I can't let him swallow this money."
How could Brother Zhang be interested in this money? Chen Xing smiled and looked at Zhang Ningning in surprise. "You have a lot of private money."
"This is the pocket money that my relatives gave me. I don't usually use it, so it's all left over." Zhang Ningning said with a smile.
"There's almost 10 million left in my pocket money …" Chen Xing was speechless for a while. It was not the wishful thinking of the common people to hate the rich that these rich and powerful families made the common people look at them.
The two chatted as they ate. After the meal, they tidied up a little and went out. They were going to visit their relatives and friends today. They didn't even have time to stay at home and enjoy their world. When they went out, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning joked that getting married was really tiring. They felt that getting married was like getting married for others to see, and they were the ones who were tired.
Two busy days passed. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xing first sent Zhang Ningning to take a plane. After seeing Zhang Ningning off at the airport, Chen Xing drove his car to Baolong Hotel on his way back. When he arrived at Room 502, Chen Xing knocked on the door with a puzzled look. Why was Wang Zhen looking for him? Wang Zhen had sent him a lot of text messages in the past two days. When he called and asked, Wang Zhen didn't give him a clear answer. Chen Xing sensed that something must have happened to him. As for his old colleague, Chen Xing wanted to help him if he could. After seeing Zhang Ningning off, he came to the appointment.
Chen Xing didn't notice that when his car stopped in the parking lot of the hotel, a woman got into the car and was about to drive away. Seeing Chen Xing, the woman was very surprised and turned off the engine. Seeing Chen Xing enter the hotel, the woman sat in the car for a while and then followed him out.
When the door was opened from the inside, Chen Xing saw Wang Zhen and couldn't help but say half-jokingly, "Sister Wang, why have you been so strange these days? You only sent me text messages to ask if it was convenient for me to come out, but you didn't say anything. When I called you to ask, you said it was nothing. I almost lost my mind because of you."
"Chen … Director Chen, your wife has left, right?" Wang Zhen murmured. In the end, he couldn't call Chen Xing like a friend like before. He called him Director Chen, which showed the difference in their status.
"I just sent her to the plane." Chen Xing entered the room and looked at Wang Zhen with a puzzled look. "If you have something to talk to me about, you can tell me. Why are you always asking if my wife has left? You didn't stop asking me when I sent you messages two days ago. Sister Wang, you used to be a straightforward person. Why are you so hesitant now? This isn't like you."
"Director Chen, I …" Wang Zhen stared at Chen Xing. "Can I call you Chen Xing again?" "Of course.
I've been in the Political Research Office for six years, haven't I? "Sister Wang, when I entered the office, you were already there. At that time, I asked you to take care of me a lot. We got along well and worked in the same office for six years. We have a good relationship, so we shouldn't be so distant. Although my position has been changing, I'm still me. I hope you don't see me as someone superior. Just like at the banquet the night before last, you, Dongyang, and Li Ling looked at me strangely. How should I put it? The way you looked at me was different. You looked at me with awe and alienation. To be honest, I felt very sad. We used to be good colleagues, but just because I was promoted, you treated me as an enemy." Chen Xing joked.
"Chen Xing, we don't dare to treat you as an enemy. It's just that your status is too high now. We're just small civil servants. We're afraid that we can't get close to you, so we don't dare to be too close to you. We're afraid that you'll think that we don't know our place." Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and told the truth. In their eyes, Chen Xing was like a leader of the city. Even if they used to work in the same office, they wouldn't dare to talk casually to a leader of the city. The answer was no.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Sister Wang, you haven't told me why you're here. And why are you here … "Chen Xing said as he looked around the room. His meaning was self-evident. If they wanted to talk, they could have found any place, such as a coffee shop, a teahouse, or a McDonald's or a KFC. Why did they have to talk in a hotel room? It felt a little weird. If this person wasn't an old colleague of Wang Zhen's for many years, Chen Xing wouldn't have come here.
The main reason was that he didn't want others to hear him. Wang Zhen dodged Chen Xing's eyes and quickly changed the topic. "Chen Xing, I want to ask you for a favor. I don't know if you can help me."
"If you have something to say, just say it. I've been waiting for you to say it for a long time. Two days ago, you kept saying that you had nothing to say." Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Wang Zhen's behavior these days was too abnormal. He wasn't like the smiling Sister Wang in the past.
"Chen Xing, my husband was taken away by the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Can you help me release him? You're the only big shot I know in the city. Other than you, I really don't know who else to ask for help. This time, you must help me and my husband. Otherwise, our family will be finished. " Wang Zhen begged with a sobbing tone.
"Tsk, don't cry. Tell me what happened first." Chen Xing was a little stunned. He had seen Wang Zhen's husband a few times and even had dinner with him. His name was Chen Shan, a deputy section chief of the Municipal Construction Commission. When he heard the news, Chen Xing was also very surprised. Wasn't he working in the Municipal Construction Commission? Why was he taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection?
He was working in the Municipal Construction Commission. Wasn't he framed? Someone reported him for accepting red packets, so the people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came and took him away. Wang Zhen's eyes turned red. "Chen Xing, you must help me. Lao Chen is the backbone of our family. If something happens to him, how can I, a woman, support this family? What will happen to our child in the future? Everyone will point fingers at her and say that her father is a corrupt official. This will affect our child's growth."
"Sigh, you only said that he was framed, but you didn't tell me the specific reason. How can I intervene?" Chen Xing shook his head. "How about this? I'm going to stay in Hai City for another day. I'll ask someone for you."
"Chen Xing, you must help me. I, I'll kneel down for you." After saying that, Wang Zhen really knelt down.
"Sister Wang, what are you doing? Get up, or I'll be angry." Chen Xing was caught unprepared. He hurriedly pulled Wang Zhen up.
"Chen Xing, promise me that you will help me, and I'll get up. Otherwise, I'll kneel for a long time." Wang Zhen directly acted like a scoundrel.
"Sister Wang, if you continue to do this, I'll really be angry. You have to let me know what happened to your husband first." Chen Xing felt very helpless. Wang Zhen's behavior made him feel more and more abnormal. He was not a rash young man who had just entered the officialdom and would believe whatever others said. Wang Zhen only said that her husband was framed, but refused to say anything else. Then, she knelt down and asked him to help her. How could Chen Xing casually agree? The Construction Commission was a disaster area with a lot of money. As long as one could get an official position in it, there would be no lack of opportunities to make money. How could he know whether Wang Zhen's husband was really framed or whether he was really the problem?
Chen Xing, he was really framed. Please help my family. As long as you agree, I'll do anything you want me to do. As long as you can help my Lao Chen get out, I'm willing to be your lover and be at your beck and call. "
Wang Zhen held Chen Xing's hand with both hands. At this moment, Chen Xing was dumbfounded. Looking at Wang Zhen in front of him, Chen Xing couldn't believe it. Was this still the Sister Wang he knew?
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't respond, Wang Zhen reached out to untie the buttons of her clothes. In order to achieve her purpose today, Wang Zhen specially wore a tight shirt and a short skirt, which made her beautiful figure more sexy. "Chen Xing, please help my Lao Chen. I can promise you anything. " Wang Zhen kept saying.
"Sister Wang, you …" Chen Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head. Looking at Wang Zhen, who was almost possessed by the devil, Chen Xing inadvertently glanced at her body. He took a deep breath and thought, "Sister Wang, please get up and put on your clothes quickly. Otherwise, we can't even be friends."
"No, I won't get up. Chen Xing, only you can help my Lao Chen. I really don't know who to ask. Do you know that you're my only life-saving straw? If my Lao Chen is sentenced, I really can't support this family." Wang Zhen cried, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I can promise you that I won't interfere in this matter. As long as your husband is really framed, I will definitely save him. Put on your clothes first and stand up." Chen Xing looked away and didn't dare to look down.
"Chen Xing, no, I want you to promise me that you will save him. Otherwise, I won't get up." Wang Zhen stared at Chen Xing stubbornly. "Chen Xing, why don't you dare to look at me? I know you like my body. In the office, you and Li Dongyang often peeped at my chest. As long as you save my Lao Chen, I will let you do whatever you want."
