Chen Xing, Xue Dabao, and Sun Zhangsheng found a teahouse to drink tea and chat. Xue Dabao was still a little nervous at this time. After chatting for a while, Xue Dabao finally couldn't help but ask Chen Xing where he worked. Chen Xing, which ministry are you in now?
Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Deputy Director. Chen Xing smiled casually and teased Sun Zhangsheng. I'm just a deputy director. Director Sun is the head of the Western District Public Security Bureau. It's much better than me, who is just a deputy assistant.
Director Chen, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Sun Zhangsheng smiled bitterly. If Chen Xing was really just a deputy director, he wouldn't have to serve him so attentively. At this moment, when Chen Xing said so, Sun Zhangsheng didn't dare to be arrogant. He waved his hand and said, "Director Chen, you are the leader. I don't dare to be like this. In the capital, I can only be regarded as a small role.
Director Sun, then what you said is even more sarcastic to me. There is no shortage of officials in the capital. If I can be regarded as a leader, then the leaders in the capital are too worthless. A large group of people from the top can easily suppress me. " Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. If one didn't reach the ministerial level, he wouldn't dare to call himself a leader in the capital.
The seemingly ordinary conversation between Chen Xing and Sun Zhangsheng stunned Xue Dabao, who was sitting next to them. He did not doubt Sun Zhangsheng's identity as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, but he was a little puzzled by Sun Zhangsheng's humble and even arrogant attitude towards Chen Xing. Although Sun Zhangsheng was only the Director of the Public Security Bureau, his rank was not as high as that of Zhao Gang, the Director of the Film Bureau. Perhaps he was not even as high as Chen Xing, the Deputy Director. This depended on whether Sun Zhangsheng, the Director of the Film Bureau, was also a deputy director. If he was, he would be a high-ranking deputy director, and would not be worse than Chen Xing. However, Sun Zhangsheng dared to bring Zhao Gang's son, Zhao Tonghua, back to the Public Security Bureau.
The Film Bureau was not a deterrent to Sun Zhangsheng, the Director of the Public Security Bureau. The same was true for the Department of Higher Education. Sun Zhangsheng didn't need to worry too much. However, Sun Zhangsheng was very respectful to Chen Xing, which confused Xue Dabao. Even though he didn't work in the officialdom, he knew that this was not in line with the common sense of officialdom.
Xue Dabao secretly looked at his former classmate and felt as if he were in a dream. Now thinking back on the scene of their meeting tonight, Xue Dabao wanted to slap himself. This was a typical sense of superiority. When he met Chen Xing by chance at night, Xue Dabao was a little confused at first why Chen Xing, who was a civil servant in Hai City, came to the capital city, and then he didn't take it seriously. Later, when Chen Xing smiled and said that he was sent to the capital city, Xue Dabao wishfully thought that Chen Xing was not doing well, but he didn't think carefully that it was unusual that Chen Xing could be transferred from Hai City to the capital city. However, he didn't ask about it in detail. When he was about to send Chen Xing back, he even talked nonsense in the car, saying that he would pay Chen Xing to clear up the relationship and get an official position. At this time, Xue Dabao really smiled bitterly. His sense of superiority made him a little arrogant and narrow-minded.
Xue Dabao didn't talk much but listened a lot. They had just sat for a while when Sun Zhangsheng's phone rang. He picked up the phone and had a look. It was a call from a friend of the Municipal Government Office, but he wasn't very familiar with it. Sun Zhangsheng frowned and roughly guessed what it was about. He picked up the phone and listened. As expected, it was about Zhao Tonghua. Sun Zhangsheng patiently listened to the other party and immediately replied, "Oh, Old Li, Zhao Tonghua is involved in harassment and assault of women. The victim has personally reported it to me. I have boasted that I will handle it impartially. You can't ask me to slap my own mouth."
The meaning of Sun Zhangsheng's words couldn't be more obvious. He didn't directly refute the other party, but it also showed that this matter couldn't be accommodated. In the end, Old Li, who called, didn't have enough influence. He was just a deputy director of the Municipal Government Office, and he was also the kind of person who was not very prosperous. Among the several deputy directors of the Municipal Government Office, he had the least real power. Sun Zhangsheng really didn't need to give him too much face, but he wouldn't directly refute it. How to put it, he should leave some leeway so that they could meet in the future.
After Sun Zhangsheng said this, the deputy director of the office whose surname was Li also understood what was going on. He smiled and nodded. He politely said that if there was a chance in the future, they would meet again. Then he hung up the phone.
He was pleading for Zhao Tonghua. Sun Zhangsheng put his phone on the table and smiled at Chen Xing.
While Sun Zhangsheng ignored the pleading person, Zhao Gang, who had received the reply from the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office whose surname was Li, was extremely anxious. He worked in the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, and he didn't have many interactions with local departments. He didn't know many local officials, and if he did, it was mostly from the SARFT and the Ministry of Culture. As for the Public Security, he really didn't know many people. Now that the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office whose surname was Li told him that Sun Zhangsheng was not willing to let go, it was most likely that his son had offended someone ruthless. Otherwise, Sun Zhangsheng would have given him face.
Facing this result, Zhao Gang could only smile bitterly. His relationship with the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office whose surname was Li was not deep. Since the deputy director was willing to say hello for him, it was already giving him face. Zhao Gang couldn't ask for anything else. After expressing his gratitude, Zhao Gang stared blankly at his phone. He was having a headache about who to ask for help. After hesitating for a while, Zhao Gang could only call the director of the Municipal Bureau of Culture, Film, and Television, Chen Wenhai. The Bureau of Culture, Film, and Television were not on good terms with the Public Security Bureau. Zhao Gang was not sure if Sun Zhangsheng would give Chen Wenhai face.
The night passed quickly. Chen Xing and Song Zhi were finally driven home by Xue Dabao. As for his old classmate Xue Dabao, Chen Xing now recognized him from the bottom of his heart. When he spoke to Xue Dabao, he was not just polite and perfunctory on the surface. Perhaps feeling Chen Xing's sincerity, Xue Dabao slowly let go.
"We are all in the capital. Let's keep in touch in the future." When Xue Dabao drove back, Chen Xing said to him with a smile.
"Of course, I hope to bask in the glory of my old classmate." Xue Dabao nodded hurriedly with a smile.
After watching Xue Dabao leave, Chen Xing and Song Zhi turned around and went upstairs. The little girl was obviously extremely excited tonight. When they were in the elevator, she kept talking to Chen Xing. One moment, it was about her idol, Zhang Yang, and the next moment, it was about Zhao Tonghua, the bastard. She even blamed Chen Xing for not asking her to slap Zhao Tonghua.
"Little girl, you are taking advantage of me, but you are still pretending to be innocent, aren't you?" Chen Xing scolded with a smile. "Every time you drag me out, nothing good happens. You always make trouble for me and then leave the trouble to me. Now I solemnly tell you that this is the last time I help you. If you make trouble again in the future, you can go to whoever you want. Anyway, you have the ability to make trouble, and you are not afraid that you can't find someone to help you solve it. In short, don't bother me anymore. Also, don't come to me for no reason, let alone take me to such boring parties. I prefer to stay at home and rest after work. I don't like to go around."
"Handsome, don't be like this. I was going to take you to see a beauty tonight. Didn't you see Zhang Yang? You didn't lose anything. Don't be angry." Song Zhi shook Chen Xing's arm in a spoiled manner.
"It's you who want to chase after stars. Don't drag me into it. I have no interest in her at all." Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's right. You seem to know Sister Zhang Yang." Song Zhi nodded thoughtfully. Her black eyes rolled, but no one knew what she was thinking.
When the elevator reached the floor, Chen Xing saw that Song Zhi was still standing at the door of his house with him. His face turned serious. "Look at the time. Go back to sleep. Don't bother me."
"Just go back. Why are you so fierce?" Song Zhi pouted and walked to her small apartment to open the door. After entering the door, Song Zhi suddenly poked her head out and playfully stuck out her tongue at Chen Xing. "Handsome, your wife is really beautiful. She is even more beautiful than Sister Zhang Yang." After saying that, she quickly poked her head back and closed the door.
Chen Xing was stunned and shook his head with a smile. "This little girl's thinking is really imaginative. Her words are so jumpy. She even compared his wife with Zhang Yang." Chen Xing was quite disdainful. "Ten Zhang Yangs can't be compared with one Zhang Ningning."
After washing up, it was already past 11 o 'clock. When Chen Xing was about to sleep, the phone rang. Looking at the number, Chen Xing picked it up. His voice was cold. "What's up?"
"Chen Xing, were you busy just now? Why didn't you answer the phone?" The phone call was from Zhang Xin. In the evening, she saw Chen Xing was also at Fan Dong's house. After the party, Zhang Xin wanted to ask Chen Xing out. Unfortunately, Chen Xing didn't answer her calls.
"Even if he is not busy, he doesn't have to answer your call." Chen Xing's tone was not very good.
"Chen Xing, your words hurt me too much. I just thought that we haven't seen each other for a long time. I just wanted to ask you out to have a chat." Zhang Xin said bitterly on the other end of the phone.
"What can we have a chat about? Didn't you get the role you wanted? What else is there to say?" Chen Xing sneered.
"Chen Xing, that role was originally mine, but it was taken away by someone else. I am taking back what belongs to me. Although I used your relationship, it is also what I deserve." Zhang Xin tried hard to emphasize something.
"Well, it is what you deserve. But it is not early now. I should go to bed. If you have nothing else to say, that's it." After finishing his words, Chen Xing hung up the phone directly.
After lying on the bed for a while, he stared at the ceiling. The crystal lamp hanging on the ceiling was very bright. After staring at it for a short while, Chen Xing moved his eyes away uncomfortably. His eyes drifted around and his face was expressionless. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Little Chen, how is the thing I asked you to do?" Chen Xing called Chen Zhongwei.
"Director Chen, are you talking about Pengxing Company or Zhang Feng's matter?" When Chen Zhongwei, who was having fun, received Chen Xing's call, he climbed up from the woman's belly without saying anything.
"Zhang Feng's matter." Chen Xing said indifferently.
"Director Chen, Zhang Feng has fallen into the trap. He now owes me millions of usury. When to deal with him, I will wait for Director Chen's order." Hearing that it was about Zhang Feng, Chen Zhongwei was slightly relieved. He had not made any progress on Pengxing Company's matter. He was afraid that Chen Xing would blame him.
"Okay, I got it. You have done a good job. I will look for you another day." Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction. A small figure also had a role. This kind of dirty work was really suitable for Chen Zhongwei.
The next day, Chen Xing went to work as usual. After reading some documents in the office for a while, when he saw a document about the Hope Project, Chen Xing called Lin Yupei in.
"Director Lin, has our department made relevant statistics for those students in the western mountain area who can't afford to go to college? Chen Xing raised his head and asked.
"There seems to be no special statistics for this in our department, but we can ask the education department to do a thorough investigation and then report it to us. It is not difficult to calculate the relevant data, but it will not be very accurate." Lin Yupei said.
"Okay, I will leave this matter to you. I plan to launch a student aid project so that more children in the mountain area can go to college." Chen Xing said in a low voice. This idea had just taken shape in his mind in the past two days. Although there were many people doing this and the Ministry also had some preferential enrollment policies for students from the western mountainous region, the help was limited. This time, Chen Xing wanted to make use of his position to launch a larger-scale student aid program and do his best to help more students from poor families.
"Just the statistics for the central and western provinces?" Lin Yupei asked for Chen Xing's opinion. She looked at Chen Xing with surprise in her eyes.
"Well, just the central and western provinces … Forget it, it is better to send the document to the education departments of each province and carry out a national statistics. The children who can't afford to go to school are not only in the central and western mountains. In the eastern coastal areas, there are also many poor families who can't even afford to pay the tuition." Chen Xing sighed. While affirming the achievements of the reform and opening up, he could not deny some of the disadvantages it brought, such as the polarization of the gap between the rich and the poor and the increasingly sharp social contradictions.
"Okay, I will arrange it." Lin Yupei nodded. "Does Director Chen have any other orders?"
"Not for the time being. By the way, we need to set a deadline for this matter. Ask the education departments of each province and city to submit the statistical data in half a month." Chen Xing ordered.
Lin Yupei nodded. Seeing that Chen Xing had no other orders, she went out.
