The next morning, Chen Xing only came out after receiving a call from Song Zhengming. It was not even eight o 'clock in the morning. It was November in Beijing, and the mornings were extremely cold. Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, who rarely came back, were still in bed. After giving Zhang Ningning a good morning kiss, Chen Xing reluctantly got up from the bed and hurriedly washed up. Chen Xing could only go outside to have his breakfast. Song Zhengming called him so early because he wanted to reach the Development and Reform Commission before nine o' clock. He hoped to see Director Wang Weilin of the Industrial Planning Department before work.
Eh, where are you going so early in the morning? Chen Xing opened the door. The door of Song Zhi's single apartment next door also opened with a squeak. Coincidentally, Song Zhi was also about to go out at this time. As Chen Xing spoke, he sized up Song Zhi. Song Zhi was dressed like a stewardess. She wore flesh-colored stockings on her feet and a cotton jacket on her upper body.
Of course, I'm going to work. Do you think a small wage earner like me can compare with a big mayor like you? You can rest whenever you want, and you can even ask others to do your work. Song Zhi snorted. Obviously, she was still angry at Chen Xing for going out with Zhang Ningning last night and not letting her follow them. Seeing that Chen Xing was walking towards the elevator, she quickly closed the door and followed him.
From what you said, I can tell that you hate the rich and the officials. Little girl, this kind of thinking is not good. You have to correct it in time. Don't echo other people's views. You have to have your own opinions. Chen Xing turned his head and said with a smile. He reached out and touched Song Zhi's little head. He always treated Song Zhi as a little girl in his heart and subconsciously ignored the fact that Song Zhi was already a 22-year-old girl.
Don't touch my head in the future. Sooner or later, I'll become stupid because of your touch. Song Zhi angrily pushed Chen Xing's hand away and curled up the corners of his mouth. He was very dissatisfied that Chen Xing always treated him like a child.
Chen Xing shook his head with a smile and looked at Song Zhi from head to toe. "I didn't expect that you would really become a stewardess. I thought that your text messages were all nonsense."
Tsk, who has the time to talk nonsense with you? It's a certain someone who's too arrogant. He doesn't even reply to my messages. Song Zhi said furiously.
Do you think that I have nothing better to do like you? I have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to reply to your meaningless messages. Chen Xing said with a smile. It was fun to bicker with this little girl. It was a good way to adjust his mood early in the morning.
Other people would have to beg me to take the initiative to send you a text. If I don't send you a text one day, you might not even be used to it. Song Zhi rolled his eyes at Chen Xing.
As they were talking, the elevator had reached the ground floor. Chen Xing wanted to find a random restaurant outside the community to spend his breakfast. Hearing this, Song Zhi also said happily that she wanted to eat with him and followed Chen Xing.
"I say, which airline do you work for?" Chen Xing asked casually.
"Air China, didn't I tell you before?" Song Zhi said angrily. "That's right. Mayors are all busy people. How can they remember such a small thing?"
Chen Xing didn't take Song Zhi's words seriously. The text messages that the little girl sent him occasionally included the temptation of a stewardess's uniform, which often made Chen Xing not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought it was nonsense and it was normal for him not to reply.
"How about it? Does my clothes give you any special feeling?" Song Zhi suddenly approached Chen Xing and asked in a low voice with a strange smile on her face.
"What special feeling?" Chen Xing didn't react for a moment.
"Playing dumb." Song Zhi wrinkled her delicate little nose and stared at Chen Xing with a smile. "Aren't you men a little eccentric or something? Uniforms, stockings …"
"What a mess. Eat something and go to work. I'm also in a hurry. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Chen Xing scolded with a smile.
"You're pretending to be serious. Maybe you're a wolf with a big tail." Song Zhi sat back in his seat and muttered. Then, he thought of something and a smile appeared on his face. 'Mayor Huang, how about I apply for a direct flight from the capital to the Southern Region?' I can play in Nanzhou for a day or two from time to time. As the mayor, you have to be a good host. "
"Let's talk about it when you fly this route. Don't think about irrelevant things." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. As far as he knew, flight attendants couldn't apply for any route at will. Otherwise, the airline company would be in a mess. If they applied for a route, there would be no one on other routes. At this time, a bowl of vegetable noodles ordered by Chen Xing was served. Chen Xing quickly picked up his chopsticks and ate. Song Zhengming was still waiting for him, and Chen Xing was also in a hurry to go.
After a hurried meal, Chen Xing separated from Song Zhi. After meeting Song Zhengming, the two went to the Development and Reform Commission together. Deng Ming, the director of the Beijing office of Nanzhou City, and Hu Linjun, the person in charge of the Beijing liaison office of Nangang, accompanied them. Because Chen Xing asked his secretary Huang Jianghua to be free these two days, Huang Jianghua didn't follow them. The group of four entered the Development and Reform Commission.
They didn't know if they could see Director Wang today. They hoped that this trip wouldn't be in vain again. After registering at the entrance, Song Zhengming sighed as he walked through the entrance of the Development and Reform Commission. There were quite a number of people queuing up behind them, and there were also quite a number of people in front of them. Most of the people who needed to register were from the local authorities. In the past two months, the Development and Reform Commission had been very busy. For the sake of the projects, all the authorities had to show their abilities.
"We have made an appointment in advance. If Director Wang is not free, then there is nothing we can do. We can't break into his office." Hu Linjun smiled bitterly. For this matter, he had almost broken his legs. Although Song Zhengming had done it many times, he was still a leader after all. Song Zhengming mostly sat and waited for Hu Linjun to report the results. Hu Linjun was the one who did the specific things. Only Hu Linjun himself knew whether it was tiring or not. Although it wasn't hard work, it wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
"Mayor Chen, I asked Linjun to make an appointment in your name today. I forgot to tell you yesterday. I hope Mayor Chen won't take it to heart." Song Zhengming suddenly explained to Chen Xing.
"It's okay." Chen Xing smiled and didn't care about this.
"No matter what, you, the mayor, came here in person today. I hope that Director Wang can give me face and make time to see us." The smile on Song Zhengming's face was also very helpless. He didn't think that he was worse than Chen Xing, but it was only limited to Nanhai Province, because he had his own connections in Nanhai Province. But in Beijing, the leaders in the ministries and bureaus actually recognized Chen Xing's identity as the mayor. He was not the boss of the enterprise. At least, he had gone to the Development and Reform Commission several times for the approval of this project, but he had not seen Director Wang.
The few of them entered the elevator and went all the way to the floor where the Industrial Planning Department was located. Chen Xing was the first to step out of the elevator, but he bumped into someone out of the blue. He bumped into his forehead and felt a sharp pain.
"What's wrong with you? Where are your eyes?" The person who was hit was also a young man in his thirties. He was a little taller than Chen Xing. Because of the angle, he was hit in the eye socket. It hurt so much that tears flowed out. He shouted at Chen Xing in a low voice.
"Comrade, how can you say that? I didn't mean to hit you. Others didn't blame you for rushing into the elevator recklessly, but you blamed others first. Don't you know that you should wait for the people inside to come out before entering the elevator? Look at your manners." Song Zhengming stood up discontentedly. This was his temperament. He said whatever he wanted to say.
"Tsk." The young man glared at him and was about to scold him. When he saw Chen Xing clearly, the young man was slightly stunned. He still said, "Which eye of yours saw me rush in first? It's you who don't have eyes. Why are you shouting?"
Song Zhengming's face darkened. He had never been shouted at by such a young man before. Chen Xing, who was beside him, had already come to his senses. He pulled Song Zhengming aside. Chen Xing shook his head slightly. "CEO Song, there's no need to lower yourself to his level."
Song Zhengming hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. He understood what Chen Xing meant. There was no point in arguing with this young man. Moreover, this was the National Development and Reform Commission, not a place for quarreling. They would be treated like a joke later. They were here on official business.
The young man snorted. He heard Chen Xing's words and was very unhappy with Chen Xing's indifferent expression. He glanced at Chen Xing and the others and pretended not to hear Chen Xing's words. He changed his tone and said arrogantly, "What are you here for?"
Of course, they were here to do business. Otherwise, what else could they be here for? Hu Linjun replied with a smile. He had been to the National Development and Reform Commission many times, so he knew that he could not afford to offend the seemingly young staff. Song Zhengming and Chen Xing were both leaders. Moreover, they had just had an unpleasant encounter, so they would definitely not bother to answer the young man's words. It was time for Hu Linjun to step in.
Another local person. What the hell was this guard doing? How could he let anyone in? The young man squinted at Chen Xing and the others. His words were obviously meant for them to hear, especially when he looked at Chen Xing. There was a faint trace of disdain in his eyes, but he concealed it. He wanted to see how Chen Xing would react. The more intense the reaction, the happier he would be. However, the young man was quickly disappointed. Chen Xing and Song Zhengming exchanged glances with each other before ignoring the young man. Instead, they continued walking forward. Hu Linjun squeezed out a smile at the young man and followed them with a smile.
Damn it, why are you pretending to be so deep? Looking at Chen Xing's back, the young man was stunned for a moment and cursed. He originally wanted to enter the elevator, but now he was not in a hurry. Instead, he watched as Chen Xing and the others left.
Mayor, don't mind them. These people from the Ministry are all like this. They all have their noses in the air, as if they are superior to others. Especially when they see people from the local area, they are even more arrogant. Deng Ming followed beside Chen Xing and spoke as they walked. Like Hu Linjun, he was also in charge of the Beijing Office. However, one represented the enterprise, while the other represented the Municipal Government. Deng Ming's usual duties were to pull in projects for the city. Naturally, he had also been to the Ministry. He had long been used to the arrogant side of some Ministry staff, so he did not think much of it. However, he was afraid that Chen Xing would be angry, so he naturally had to quickly comfort him.
There was no need to be angry with him. The angrier you met this kind of person, the more arrogant he would be. If others are uncultured, we can't be uncultured like them. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand.
Mayor Chen is really broad-minded. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it. If it weren't for the fact that I'm here for business, I would have taught that little comrade a lesson. Song Zhengming was full of anger. He had always been straightforward, so he was not as easy to talk to as Chen Xing. Moreover, he was much older than Chen Xing. When he met young people, he preferred to act like an elder. He could not tolerate young people being disrespectful in front of him.
As they spoke, a staff member came up to them. After verifying their identities, the staff member politely invited them into the reception room. You guys wait here for a while. Director Wang is not free now. When he is free, I will inform you guys again. The staff member only said this and left.
In the reception room, other than Chen Xing and the others, there were other people waiting. They were undoubtedly here to see the officials of the Industrial Planning Department. Hu Linjun smiled helplessly at Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, every time you come, you have to wait for a long time. I hope that Mayor Chen can come today and wait a little shorter.
As soon as the staff member who received Chen Xing and the others left, a young man who followed behind called out to him. Xiao Chen, come over.
Yo, Director Lin, I thought you went up. The man called Xiao Chen saw that it was the young man who called him and hurried over.
Why did those people come? The young man pointed in the direction of the reception room, but he did not go up.
What else could he do? He just wanted to see Director Wang. The man called Xiao Chen smiled.
Really. The young man's eyes darted around for a moment, then he whispered something into the man's ear.
Director Lin, this … this is not good. Xiao Chen was in a dilemma.
There's nothing wrong with it. Just do as I say. The young man said disapprovingly.
Alright, I will do as you say, Director Lin. Xiao Chen nodded. He did not dare to go against the other party's wishes. The young man was a director in the general office. His position was not very high, but the key was that he had a terrifying background. He did not want to offend this young master.
