After work, Zhang Ningning came to the gate of the Municipal Government and waited. Seeing Chen Xing coming out, Zhang Ningning's smile was particularly bright. "My wife is here to pick up my husband from work. Tell me, what are you going to treat me to tonight?
Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you. " Chen Xing smiled and asked Zhang Ningning to get in the car. He walked to the other side and opened the door for Zhang Ningning personally. He also told Zhang Ningning to be careful when getting in the car. Now, Zhang Ningning was not just an ordinary noble in Chen Xing's eyes. Moreover, there was a baby in her belly, which made Chen Xing very nervous. The scene at the gate of the Municipal Government also attracted the attention of people coming in and out. In addition to marveling at Zhang Ningning's beauty, they were more curious about who Zhang Ningning was. How could he let the mayor open the door in person?
"Humph, humph, it's obviously perfunctory and insincere." Zhang Ningning was not satisfied with Chen Xing's answer.
"I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat. How can this be called insincere?" Chen Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He muttered in his heart, "No wonder people say that women are troublesome animals."
"You should say what you want to treat me to. You didn't even think about it. Obviously, you answered casually. If this is not perfunctory, then what is it?" Zhang Ningning curled her lips.
"I don't know what you want to eat. Of course, you should say it yourself. I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat. That's not okay, either?" Chen Xing rolled his eyes.
"Of course not. You have to think about what I want to eat." Zhang Ningning also had an unreasonable side.
The two joked for a while. Chen Xing cared about her. "Are you tired from going to the village today?"
"I didn't do anything. It's all the people who are busy. How can I be tired?" Zhang Ningning smiled and shook her head. She turned to look at Chen Xing. Her face was full of a happy smile. "Don't worry. I'm not that noble yet. I can still jump around."
Don't, don't mess around. You have to walk slowly. Chen Xing said with a glare. Looking at Zhang Ningning's child-like naughty smile, Chen Xing immediately lost his temper. In fact, he knew that Zhang Ningning might not be mentally prepared to be a mother-to-be. She had not completely changed psychologically. She was no different from usual and did not look like a person who had just been pregnant.
If I wanted to walk faster, would Mayor Chen tie my legs up? Zhang Ningning raised her chin at Chen Xing provocatively.
Alright, I've lost to you. I don't dare to order you around anymore, but you have to be careful. After all, things are different now. Chen Xing smiled helplessly. His wife was also quite stubborn. She could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xing said with some concern, "Ningning, if you can avoid going to the village, don't go. The environmental pollution there is more serious. It's not good for a pregnant person like you."
"Don't worry. It's okay to go there two or three times. Our baby is not that precious." Zhang Ningning smiled and did not care at all. She also knew that the environment would have an impact on the fetus. Many malformed fetuses were caused by pregnant women living in the polluted environment for a long time. However, she had only gone there a few times. Zhang Ningning was not worried, but Chen Xing was worried.
Hearing Zhang Ningning's words, Chen Xing could only smile and nod. He was indeed too nervous. They did not talk about this anymore. Chen Xing mentioned that Wang Zheng took office in Xing 'an City. Ningning, Wang Zheng was transferred to Xing' an City to be the executive deputy mayor. Did you know that?
Really? Didn't he open a few companies and make money easily? He was living a carefree life. Why did he suddenly come to the government? Zhang Ningning said in surprise. No one specifically told her about this, so she really did not know. At this moment, when she heard Chen Xing mention it, Zhang Ningning's surprise could be imagined. She said, "It seems that this man has changed a lot after he got married. He just got married, and he has changed so much."
"I don't know, but I am sure that Wang Zheng will be transferred to Xing 'an City to be the executive deputy mayor." Chen Xing smiled and casually guessed that maybe Wang Zheng's father wanted him to find an official position in the government and give him special support.
It was really possible that the Wang family and the Yang family would become in-laws. The Yang family used to be a top noble family. Although it had declined, after all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Its influence in the senior management could not be underestimated. The Wang family was a rising upstart. What they lacked was a foundation. If the two families became in-laws, they would complement each other. Maybe the Wang family's ambition would also be aroused. Zhang Ningning nodded in agreement. Chen Xing was just casually guessing, but she thought it was possible. She knew the senior management better than Chen Xing. After all, she grew up in such a family environment and was influenced by what she saw and heard.
No matter how ambitious Wang Zheng's father was, it was nothing more than to seek a seat in the standing committee. Chen Xing smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xing laughed self-mockingly. That position was already at the top of the pyramid of power. How many people could reach that level? He said it casually, but he dared not think about that position in his life. Even his father-in-law, Zhang Guohua, who was now at the provincial level and had the foundation of a big family like the Zhang family, dared not say that he could become a member of the standing committee in the future. At that time, it would depend on whether Grandpa Zhang was still alive. If Grandpa Zhang had passed away, it was really uncertain whether Zhang Guozhong, the second generation of the Zhang family, could get a seat in the standing committee.
"Let's not talk about this. It's not our turn to worry about it." Zhang Ningning smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. "Now that Wang Zheng has become your neighbor, according to his character, he may compete with you. Your two neighboring cities may have some competition."
"That's good. Without competition, there will be no motivation. I'll wait for him." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and was full of confidence. If Wang Zheng wanted to compete with him, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. He would deal with it when it came. He was only afraid that Wang Zheng was a good man and his son was a coward. He did not have any ability like Deputy Premier Zhang.
"I have faith in you, hubby. Go for it." Zhang Ningning winked at Chen Xing playfully. Then, he touched his growling stomach and looked at Chen Xing with grievance. "We're talking about business. You haven't even told me where to eat."
"What do you want to eat?" Chen Xing felt a headache. This kind of thing was the most troublesome thing for him. He really had no idea how to treat someone to a meal, especially when his wife was deliberately being picky at this moment.
"I don't care. You decide. If you don't satisfy me, I won't eat." Zhang Ningning pouted.
"Aren't you being unreasonable?" Chen Xing laughed and shook his head. "It's fine if you don't want to eat, but you have to think about the baby in your stomach. You're eating for two people now. Do you know that?"
Seeing that Zhang Ningning threw a tantrum and turned his head away, Chen Xing was amused and distressed. "Should we eat Western food?
No, I don't have an appetite. " Zhang Ningning shook his head vigorously.
"Then how about Chinese food?" Chen Xing was at his wit's end. Other than Western food, he only knew how to eat Chinese food.
Other than Western food, there's Chinese food. I realized that you only know these two things. Zhang Ningning turned around and rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. Seeing Chen Xing's anxious look, Zhang Ningning burst into laughter. "Let's go eat Chinese food. Look at you, the mayor, being put in a difficult position."
"Okay, let's eat Chinese food." Chen Xing felt as if he had been pardoned. Asking him to treat him to a meal or asking him to order dishes for a meal were both big things that could stump him. Chen Xing would rather do a few more jobs than have a headache like this.
The two came to the restaurant where they had dinner last night. The name of the restaurant was common, and the tone was not small. It was called "Fragrance Over the Four Seas". It was not a big restaurant, but the dishes were exquisite. Looking at the decoration style of the restaurant and the price of the dishes, it was also high-end. Ordinary people were not willing to spend money here. After eating last night, Chen Xing and the others were full of praise for the dishes in this restaurant.
It was Chen Xing's suggestion to come here. Hearing that, Zhang Ningning agreed. Last night, Chen Xing saw a person who looked like Jiang Wan nearby. Although he was not sure whether it was Jiang Wan, Chen Xing chose to come here tonight, so he was more or less influenced by last night.
After parking the car, Chen Xing asked Li Yong to go nearby to eat by himself. Usually, when there was a dinner party, Chen Xing would ask Li Yong to sit at the table with him. But tonight, the husband and wife were eating alone. It was inappropriate for Li Yong to be a third wheel.
The two asked for a small private room on the second floor. Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning went upstairs together. When they reached the second floor, Chen Xing saw the familiar figure he saw outside last night. He was stunned for a moment, but soon, the figure pushed open a private room and walked in. Chen Xing only had time to see the side of the face, but this time, it was much closer than last night. Chen Xing thought to himself, "Who else could it be but Jiang Wan? There can't be people who look so similar in the world. Could it be that the other party really came to Nanzhou?"
"What's wrong?" Asked Zhang Ningning, seeing that Chen Xing was in a daze.
