Almost dragged out by Song Zhi, Chen Xing and Song Zhi went downstairs and out of the community. Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this little girl who didn't care about her identity at all.
"Handsome, there will be a lot of handsome men and beautiful women later. Don't pretend to be old." Song Zhi winked at Chen Xing with a smile. There was no lack of complacency on her face. Obviously, Song Zhi was very proud of being able to drag Chen Xing out.
"Little girl, there is a generation gap between you and me. Do you know that?" Chen Xing smiled and knocked on her head.
"Hey, who asked you to knock my head? Don't you know that knocking on the head can make people stupid?" Song Zhi glared at Chen Xing angrily. If it were someone else, she would have already made a threatening gesture and fought back. Just from the fact that she dared to come out to the society to deal with those gangsters while still in school, one could see her personality. Not only was she bold, but she was also not someone who would be easily taken advantage of. However, although she was rude to Chen Xing, in fact, she was still in awe of Chen Xing deep down. No matter what, Chen Xing was the leader of the Ministry. It was impossible for her to not care about Chen Xing's identity at all.
As the saying goes, even if you lose in battle, you don't lose in spirit. Although Song Zhi didn't dare to touch Chen Xing, she still muttered bitterly, "It's just that there is a difference of almost ten years between us. Why do you make yourself seem like an old man in his forties or fifties?"
"In this era, there is a generation gap when you are three years old. Do you understand?" Chen Xing quarreled with her with great interest.
They talked while waiting for a taxi by the roadside. They didn't know if the weather was not good. Usually, they could get a taxi as soon as they came out. Tonight, they waited for a few minutes and still didn't see a taxi. Song Zhi pouted and complained to Chen Xing, "Handsome, you are a leader and live in such a big mansion. Why don't you even have a car? You are at least more powerful than those county secretaries and county magistrates. Let's not talk about the secretaries and county magistrates. Even the bureau chiefs in the county have their own cars and full-time drivers. Why don't you even have a car?"
"What do you know? How can the situation in the ministry be the same as that in the prefectures?" Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. Surprisingly, Chen Xing patiently explained to Song Zhi that the management of the ministry was relatively strict. It was right under the nose of the central government. Do you think it was like in the prefectures? According to the regulations on the allocation of cars for cadres, those below and including the prefectures were not equipped with their own cars. They were only guaranteed to use cars for work. This was the case for the ministries and commissions of the central government, and it was the same for many provinces. It might be different depending on the place, but the specific management regulations would not be too different. However, the fact was that the ministries and commissions of the central government would be relatively strict with the implementation of the regulations, because it was right under the nose of the emperor in the capital. In the prefectures, it was basically a mess. Not to mention the prefectures, even the section-level officials were equipped with cars. It was just that the cars were attached to the units in disguise. In fact, the cars were the exclusive cars of the leaders, and they were completely against the regulations of the higher-ups.
"The newspapers often say that the central government is going to carry out the bus reform, but I think it's all bark and no bite. There are so many poor people living under the poverty line in our country, and they can't even afford to eat. However, there are so many corrupt officials enjoying the taxpayers' money all day long. If I were the leader of the country, I would definitely issue an order to shoot all those corrupt officials." Song Zhi said with hatred.
Chen Xing looked at Song Zhi. She was a young girl in her early twenties. It was not bad that she had a heart that abhorred evil. At least she had a correct sense of right and wrong. Chen Xing thought for a while and wanted to teach Song Zhi a lesson. He smiled and said, "Song Zhi, if you really become the leader of the country, well, for example, you are the No. 1. Do you think it's good or bad for the country if you really do that?
Needless to say, of course it's good. If those corrupt officials are not killed, there is no hope for the country. If I am really the No. 1 as you said, I will definitely issue an order to shoot those corrupt officials without hesitation. " Song Zhi waved her little fist, as if she wanted to prove her determination and courage. "Our country lacks a leader with courage. If you really become the No. 1, what you do will be gratifying and will win the applause of the people, but it can only be said that the country has regressed.
It would be a tragedy for the country and the people. The rule of law is the most important democratic process in a country. Only by solving the root of corruption through the system can we completely eliminate corruption. You can kill one, ten, or a hundred people, but can you kill thousands or tens of thousands of people? Ruling the country by law is the hope of the people. We shouldn't rely on the leader's words to grasp the power of life and death. If that's the case, we will return to the feudal era. We can't just rely on the leader's words to grasp the power of life and death. If that's the case, we will return to the feudal era. We can't just rely on the leader's words to grasp the power of life and death. If that's the case, we will return to the feudal era. We can't just rely on the leader's words to grasp the power of life and death. If that's the case, we will return to the feudal era. Chen Xing said solemnly,
"Our country has been working hard to promote the construction of the legal system and improve the legal system, but compared with the road of the rule of law in developed countries, the road our country is taking now is short. If we want to become a real country under the rule of law, we still need the efforts of several generations. It can't be achieved in a short period of time. This is a long and arduous process."
Song Zhi was obviously stunned by Chen Xing's suddenly serious attitude. She listened thoughtfully to Chen Xing's words and thought about it seriously. She was actually very smart, but she lacked knowledge. However, what Chen Xing said today was too high-level. Song Zhi did not understand and retorted unwillingly, "Isn't power above the law in our country? Look at how many officials use their power to interfere with the justice and create many unjust and wrong cases."
"Yes, the situation you mentioned does exist, and it is very common. Therefore, we still have a long way to go on the road of the rule of law. We still need the efforts of many people and it will take a long time. Moreover, during this period, some people may have to make sacrifices for it." Chen Xing said with a serious face. Reform, without the courage to break down and build up, how could it be successful? The road of the rule of law was like a long march, and no one knew how many difficulties and obstacles there were. Looking at the process of democracy in foreign countries, some people with insight sacrificed themselves for the greater good.
"Handsome, is it so serious?" Song Zhi stuck out her little tongue. This topic was too heavy for her.
"I'm just talking to you. Well, let's not talk about this. The taxi is here." Chen Xing said with a smile. For Song Zhi, she might not understand and could not imagine the hardships.
After a while, the taxi arrived. Chen Xing and Song Zhi got in. It was not seven o 'clock yet. Song Zhi told the taxi the address of a villa in the western part of the city, and the taxi went straight there.
After the car drove for a while, Song Zhi became active again. She said with a smile, "Handsome, the birthday party later will be very grand. Hey, my classmate's family is very rich. I heard that they will hold a special birthday party for him, and they even invited celebrities to help. Tonight, let's go and see what kind of big stars they are. It will be better than staying at home alone, right?"
"Only little girls like you still chase after stars. An old man like me has no interest at all." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "Nowadays, do students of your generation have to compete with each other even for a birthday party?"
"Almost. You should know that many students are from Beijing, and many of them come from rich families. They like to hold a big birthday party and compete with each other. There are also the sons of the nouveau riche in Shanxi and the sons of the rich businessmen in Wenzhou. These people don't want to be outdone by others. In such a small class, there are always people showing off their wealth. Today, one will drive a Maserati, and the next day, another will drive a Ferrari. Damn, I, a poor village girl, will be amazed. I don't dare to compete with others, so I can only freeload for food. If it's my own birthday, I just spend a few hundred yuan to treat my friends in the dormitory to a meal." Song Zhi said with a smile.
"I see that your family is also a nouveau riche. Nowadays, there are many rich people in Beihai Province." Chen Xing replied half-jokingly. Even if Song Zhi's family was not very rich, it was not very shabby either. This could be seen from some clues. Not to mention other things, based on the housing price of the residential area where he lived, Song Zhi's single apartment would cost at least a million yuan. It would be strange if an ordinary family could afford it. Since Song Zhi's family could afford to buy a house outside, her family's financial situation should not be that bad.
There are many rich people in Beihai Province, but my family is poor. Song Zhi said confidently, "If you don't believe me, I will take you to have a look someday."
"Well, forget it. I don't have time to waste with you." Chen Xing laughed.
As they chatted, time passed quickly. The taxi was stopped at the entrance of the residential area. It could not go in. The residential area was full of villas, and the people living there were either rich or noble. In addition to the registered cars, the owners of the residential area had to call the gate in person. Otherwise, the cars from outside could not enter.
After Song Zhi made a phone call, the gate let them in. The car drove in, which made the taxi driver very excited. His saliva flew everywhere. "Tsk, tsk, this is the first time I have come here in a sports car. I have long heard how luxurious this residential area is. It is said that the cheapest villa in this area is worth tens of millions, and those that are worth hundreds of millions are considered ordinary. Today, my eyes have been opened."
"Master, you also work hard. Someday, you will also live here." Chen Xing said to the taxi driver with a smile.
"Little … Sir, don't mock me. As a taxi driver, I can't earn enough money to buy a villa here, even if I work for hundreds of years." The taxi driver laughed at himself. He was already in his forties. Originally, he wanted to call Chen Xing "little brother", but he quickly changed the way he addressed Chen Xing. Since Chen Xing could enter this area, he must be from a rich family. The taxi driver did not dare to call Chen Xing "brother" casually.
"There is no distinction between the rich and the poor. Master, don't laugh at yourself. The rich have their own way of living, and the poor have their own way of living. Don't envy the good life of others. What we really want is to live a peaceful and comfortable life. Master, don't you think so?" Chen Xing laughed.
"Yes, I just want to live a comfortable life. It turns out that this gentleman is also a sensible man." The taxi driver laughed very heartily. He took another look at Chen Xing in the rearview mirror. Obviously, he was quite surprised that Chen Xing could say such a thing.
While they were talking, the taxi stopped beside a villa according to Song Zhi's instructions. It was impossible to drive past it. There were too many cars parked in front of the villa. At first glance, they were all good cars. Compared with his taxi, there was a sharp contrast. On the balcony on the second floor of the villa, people were pointing at the taxi.
Chen Xing and Song Zhi could not get out of the car. Their destination was the villa in front of them. At a glance, Chen Xing knew that this villa was absolutely luxurious in this villa community. There was a private open-air swimming pool behind it.
"This guy's father seems to be the boss of a film and television company. It is said that he has at least a billion yuan in wealth. I don't know whether it is true or not, but this villa is quite magnificent." Song Zhi looked up at the second floor and whispered to Chen Xing. A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. There was a burst of laughter from the second floor. She could vaguely hear that they were talking about her coming here by taxi. It seemed that they were also Song Zhi's classmates.
"It is your classmate's birthday party. It has nothing to do with me. Why did you drag me here? Aren't you making me feel uncomfortable?" Chen Xing smiled. As for the laughter from the second floor, Chen Xing laughed it off and did not take it to heart.
"Oh, I dragged you here to make up the appearance. They said that they should bring their friends here. The more lively, the better. I can't be a commander without an army." Song Zhi pouted. "It is not good to let you see a star. Maybe you can have an erotic encounter with a beauty at night. Whether you can do it or not depends on your ability. Hey, by the way, when I didn't see you a few days ago, I often saw a very beautiful woman going in and out of your house. Is that woman your wife?"
"Isn't it my wife who can go in and out of my house at will?" Chen Xing rolled his eyes. "Nonsense."
"Wow, then your wife is so beautiful. I am also a woman. When I see her, my eyes almost pop out. Handsome, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful wife. Do you do that every night and then wake up in the morning with backache?" Song Zhi smiled slyly.
"You are so impolite. Believe it or not, I will teach you a lesson." Chen Xing was so angry that he shook his head. "This little girl really dares to say anything."
"I believe you, of course I believe you. I know you are a great official. Then I will keep my mouth shut, in case you really do it." Song Zhi made a face and laughed heartlessly.
There was a special greeter at the door of the villa. Chen Xing and Song Zhi were warmly welcomed in. However, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw a girl who was about the same age as Song Zhi walking towards them. She smiled and said to Song Zhi, "Hey, Beauty Song, why didn't you send a car to pick you up tonight? Why did you take a taxi? You should have called me earlier, and I would have asked my driver to pick you up."
"Don't worry about me. It is more comfortable for me to take a taxi. Your car is too high-end. I can't afford to take it. I am afraid that I can't afford to pay for it if it gets dirty." Song Zhi replied with a smile and pulled Chen Xing forward.
"Your classmate?" Chen Xing turned his head and glanced at Song Zhi. He thought to himself, "Kids nowadays are really amazing. They don't get along well with each other, but they can still talk with a smile and hide a dagger behind their smiles."
"A dormitory." Song Zhi curled her lips in annoyance. "What a snob."
"No wonder." Chen Xing nodded. He more or less understood why Song Zhi liked to live outside the school. In addition to being more comfortable than the dormitory, the relationship between her classmates in the dormitory was also a very big reason.
"The party will probably start in a while. Let's eat something and find a place to sit first." Song Zhi said to Chen Xing. On one side of the living room, there was a fruit salad and a sumptuous buffet for the guests to take whatever they wanted. Song Zhi hadn't eaten tonight, so she was eager to find a plate to eat.
"You came to attend your classmate's birthday party. Don't you have to congratulate the birthday boy first?" Chen Xing was almost defeated by Song Zhi.
"It's fine as long as he's here. Why do you care so much about etiquette? He has a lot of distinguished guests to entertain and has no time to care about us for the time being." Song Zhi replied casually and stuffed a small cake into her mouth. Chen Xing shook his head and laughed. "Sometimes, this little girl can be so innocent and cute."
"The world is big, but the stomach is the most important." At this moment, Song Zhi had already begun to sweep up the exquisite food. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't move, she rolled her eyes at Chen Xing and said, "Handsome, are you here to save food for me?"
"I've already eaten tonight. You can fill your stomach first. Don't worry about me." Chen Xing said with a smile.
As Chen Xing spoke, an uncertain voice came from behind. "Chen Xing?"
Chen Xing turned his head and looked at the person in front of him doubtfully. Suddenly, Chen Xing's eyes lit up. "Xue Dabao?"
"Ha, Chen Xing, it's really you." The person who was called Xue Dabao by Chen Xing walked over with a smile and patted Chen Xing's shoulder. "I was wondering why the person who got out of the taxi upstairs looked so much like you. I thought about coming down to have a look. It turned out to be you. You haven't changed at all. You're still the same."
"I haven't changed, but you've become more broad-minded and chubbier." Chen Xing looked at him with a smile. When he was in college, he was already chubbier. Now his stomach was even bigger, a typical general's belly.
