By the time Chen Xing and Lin Qing finished their meal, it was already past nine o 'clock. Chen Xing's feelings after the meal could be summed up in four words: a feast for the eyes.
The process of the meal was a bit erotic. Chen Xing admitted that if he didn't have strong self-control, Lin Qing's frown and smile could make people stare at her, unable to move their eyes away. Fortunately, Chen Xing didn't have any special thoughts about Lin Qing. Otherwise, this meal would not only be erotic, he might even want to do something with her.
Boss Lin, you have a lot of friends and connections abroad. If there are foreign friends who want to invest, Boss Lin, please introduce them to us. Chen Xing and Lin Qing said as they walked out of the hotel. Because of Lin Qing, the two of them walking in the lobby of the hotel undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. Many people looked at them, most of them focused on Lin Qing. Chen Xing was more like a foil.
Mayor Chen, don't worry. If there are really friends who want to invest in our country, I will definitely introduce Nanzhou City to them first. Lin Qing smiled and nodded. Outside, Lin Qing deliberately kept a distance from Chen Xing. Just now in the private room, she wanted to have physical contact with Chen Xing, intentionally or unintentionally, but Chen Xing moved away quietly. This also let Lin Qing know that Chen Xing was not like Li Haocheng. It was not so easy to seduce Chen Xing.
Then I will have to trouble Boss Lin. Chen Xing said half-jokingly, "Every time Boss Lin introduces us to an investment, I will treat Boss Lin to a meal."
Only a meal? Wasn't Mayor Chen being too stingy? Lin Qing pretended to be unhappy.
"Of course, treating you to a meal can't express my gratitude. True gratitude is always in my heart." Chen Xing smiled.
The two of them joked for a while and walked out of the hotel. Chen Xing said, "Where does Boss Lin live? Do you want me to send you back? "
"Thank you for your kindness, Mayor Chen. I live upstairs." Lin Qing pointed to the hotel.
"It seems that Miss Lin has a special liking for Nanzhou Hotel and likes to live here.
"This is only my second time in Nanzhou, and I am not familiar with the place. Last time, I stayed in this hotel and felt good. This time, of course, I don't want to waste any more time, so I booked a room here before coming."
"Since Boss Lin lives in the hotel, there is no need to send me out. I should get in the car." Chen Xing looked at the time. He had eaten with Lin Qing for more than two hours. It was quite a long time.
Alright, Mayor Chen, take care. Next time, I'll treat Mayor Chen to a meal, Mayor Chen will definitely be satisfied.
"Boss Boss Chen". "As long as I have time, I will definitely come." Chen Xing smiled. He attached great importance to the investment of Gray Group.
After getting in the car, Chen Xing waved goodbye to Lin Qing. Because Li Yong temporarily became Song Zhi's tour guide, the driver for tonight was a temporary transfer from the Municipal Government's small motorcade. Chen Xing told the driver a place to send him there, and then he fell into deep thought. He recalled the conversation with Lin Qing just now. Chen Xing occasionally mentioned Li Haocheng, but Lin Qing's answers did not seem suspicious at all. Chen Xing thought about this and shook his head subconsciously. He was too suspicious.
If Li Haocheng really stayed abroad, it would not have anything to do with Lin Qing. Although the timing was a bit coincidental, because Li Haocheng's study abroad was arranged by Lin Qing, it was just a coincidence. It did not make sense for him to suspect Lin Qing. Moreover, Lin Qing only sent an invitation to Li Haocheng on behalf of the Group. It could only be a coincidence. The most important thing was that when Li Haocheng first went abroad, he did not expect that Lin Hong would give him evidence of Li Haocheng's violation of the law. Therefore, all this should not be a coincidence.
"Mayor, we have arrived." While Chen Xing was still deep in thought, the driver suddenly turned around and said.
"So soon." Chen Xing was surprised.
"Mayor, we are quite close to each other." This was the driver's first time driving for Chen Xing, so he was a bit nervous.
Chen Xing nodded, got out of the car, and said to the driver, "You can go back first. You don't need to pick me up at night."
"Mayor, how will you go back later?"
"I have a car, so you don't have to worry." Chen Xing smiled. His attitude towards the service staff at the bottom of the government was much better than his attitude towards the cadres at the bottom.
Walking into the KFC by the road, Chen Xing immediately saw Song Zhi and Li Yong sitting diagonally opposite the door. There was also a woman next to them, whom Chen Xing did not know.
Seeing Chen Xing coming over, Li Yong hurriedly stood up. Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Li Yong deliberately lowered his voice and smiled bitterly. "Mayor, Miss Song said she wanted to eat at KFC, so I had to accompany her."
"She is a little girl, so she is more interested in fast food." Chen Xing smiled and patted Li Yong's shoulder, motioning for him to sit down. Li Yong did not dare to sit down directly, so he made room for Chen Xing and sat down next to him.
"If you say I am a little girl again, I will fight with you." Song Zhi bared his teeth at Chen Xing, his face full of resentment.
"You are not grown up. Look, there are many children sitting in this restaurant, and you are just like them." Chen Xing held back his laughter as he bickered with Song Zhi. It made him feel much younger. In fact, he was not that old. It was just that his position had determined that he had to display a mature and steady side in front of others. Sometimes, he felt depressed.
"Ziqing, this is my Brother Chen, you can also call him Brother Chen." Song Zhi rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. She was almost used to Chen Xing calling her like an old man, so she introduced Chen Xing to her friends next to her.
"Hello, Brother Chen." The woman named Ziqing also greeted Song Zhi. She was the same age as Song Zhi.
"Song, is this your friend? Why didn't I see her during the day? " Chen Xing nodded at the woman with a smile and asked casually. She was the same as Song Zhi, with the same youthful vigor. At first glance, one could tell that she was also young.
"She is a new colleague I met after I was transferred to the Jingnan line, Zhao Ziqing. Her home is in Nanzhou. In the morning, she went home first." Song Zhi explained to Chen Xing, smiling mischievously.
"You even told me that you were going to sleep on the road at the airport. It turns out that you have friends in Nanzhou. So you were lying to me, weren't you?" Chen Xing put on a straight face.
"If I didn't say that, would you go to pick me up? Then I would really have to sleep on the ground at the airport. At that time, Ziqing had already gone home." Song Zhi said with a wronged expression.
"Song Zhi, when I got off the plane, I asked you to come to my house with me. You said that a friend was going to pick you up, and you didn't come with me." Zhao Ziqing said strangely.
"Aiya, Ziqing, will you die if you don't speak?" Song Zhi said angrily.
"See, the cat's out of the bag." Chen Xing laughed and didn't argue with Song Zhi. This was nothing more than a joke. Otherwise, if Song Zhi said in the morning that he was penniless and didn't know where his wallet went, it would be strange if he believed it. When Chen Xing first met the little girl, he knew that this little girl was eccentric and cunning. If he really didn't want to pick her up, no matter what Song Zhi said, he wouldn't take the time to go.
"Xiao Li, where did you take her to play in the afternoon?" Chen Xing turned to ask Li Yong.
They went to the Tajing Temple in the city for a walk, then went to the coastal road for a walk, and then to several famous attractions around the city. Li Yong replied.
They went to a lot of places in just one afternoon. Chen Xing was quite surprised.
Miss Song was in a hurry to play, so she went to more places. Li Yong said euphemistically. In fact, he wanted to say that Song Zhi only looked at the flowers on horseback and didn't play in detail. However, he couldn't figure out the relationship between Chen Xing and Song Zhi. Li Yong didn't want to accidentally offend Song Zhi.
"Xiao Song, you just looked at the flowers on horseback. It's better not to play at all." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"It's better to look at the flowers on horseback than not at all. At least it proves that I have been to those places." Song Zhi smiled and raised the apple in her hand. She was also a fashionable person. As soon as the four bags of apples came out, she bought one for herself. At this moment, she said that she had taken pictures of all the places she went in the afternoon.
"Song Zhi, why are your two friends so interesting? One calls you Miss Song, and the other calls you Xiao Song." Zhao Ziqing whispered to Song Zhi, and her eyes swept back and forth between Chen Xing and Li Yong with interest.
"Who cares, call me whatever you want." Song Zhi smiled perfunctorily. She didn't want to blabber and tell others that Chen Xing was the mayor. She knew that Chen Xing didn't like that kind of publicity, and Zhao Ziqing was from Nanzhou. If she recognized him by herself, it would have nothing to do with her. At that time, Chen Xing couldn't say that she publicized it everywhere.
"Ziqing, why did you come to eat this kind of junk food? It's too low class." A young man came over and sat down directly next to Zhao Ziqing. He glanced at the hamburgers and spicy wings on the table with a disdainful face. "Let's go. I have already booked a box in Nanzhou Hotel. Why did you come here to eat hamburgers?
My friend suddenly wanted to eat, so I accompanied her here. I haven't eaten for a long time. It feels good to eat it occasionally. " Zhao Ziqing said with a smile.
"This is your colleague, right?" The young man who spoke stared at Song Zhi, and his eyes lit up.
"Look at your eyes. You can't move when you see a beautiful woman." Zhao Ziqing scolded with a smile and introduced him to Song Zhi. "Song Zhi, this is my friend. He heard that I have a friend coming over to play, so he specially invited me to a meal. I have benefited from your light tonight."
"I don't even know him. Did he say he wanted to eat together?" Song Zhi rolled her eyes. If she had something to say, she would say it directly. She wasn't afraid of others feeling awkward.
"Miss Song's words are wrong. I have always been a hospitable person. Those who come to Nanzhou from other places are all my friends. Not to mention that you are Ziqing's colleague. As the host, I can't be rude." The young man was also thick-skinned and said with a smile.
"Ziqing, where did you get such a showy friend?" Song Zhi frowned and whispered to Zhao Ziqing.
"Song Zhi, I'm sorry. Today is my day off, but he insisted on inviting me to a meal. I originally said that I was accompanying him and didn't have the time, so I wanted to send him away. I didn't expect him to be like a dog skin plaster that I couldn't get rid of. Just now, he called to ask where I was. I couldn't not answer him, so I had to implicate you. You have to accompany me to a meal. Otherwise, I'll go eat with them by myself. Zhao Ziqing said to Song Zhi apologetically.
"Ziqing, what are you two whispering about? Are you afraid that someone will hear?" The young man said.
"When girls whisper, men can't ask, understand?" Zhao Ziqing glanced at him coquettishly, but there was a trace of disgust in the depths of her eyes.
"By the way, Brother Chen, Brother Li, these two are my friends." Zhao Ziqing forgot to introduce them to Chen Xing and Li Yong. Because she also took Li Yong's car to have fun with Song Zhi in the afternoon, so she also called Li Yong brother. She didn't know the difference in status between Chen Xing and Li Yong. When Li Yong heard her words, Li Yong felt very uncomfortable. It was okay to call them alone, but when they were side by side with Chen Xing, Li Yong really felt a little unnatural.
"Jinhua, they are Song Zhi's friends." Zhao Ziqing said to the young man again.
"It turns out that they are Miss Song's friends." The young man called Jinhua glanced at Chen Xing and Li Yong, and just nodded casually. He looked a little unhappy. It turned out that Zhao Ziqing's calling of Brother Chen and Brother Li was a little harsh in his ears. "You two should also be from Nanzhou, right?" "It's too boring to invite friends to eat KFC. Anyway, we should go to a high-end hotel."
Chen Xing was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "What the hell? I didn't say a word, but attracted a few sarcastic remarks."
"Hey, what's that called? I like to eat foreign garbage, so what? I don't even care about five-star hotels. I'm not interested in the place you mentioned. I think only the nouveau riche likes to go to that kind of place to show off." Song Zhi snorted softly. He couldn't bear to see others showing off in front of Chen Xing.
No matter how thick-skinned the young man was, he felt a little embarrassed at this time. He gave a hollow laugh and thought, "Ziqing, your friend is quite a character."
"She speaks like this, don't be offended." Zhao Ziqing said helplessly. She tugged at Song Zhi's clothes and looked at him pleadingly.
"Song, since someone wants to treat you to a free meal, you should go. Don't waste it." Chen Xing said with a smile. Chen Xing was too lazy to care about the young man's verbal offense.
"Look at the time. I'm already eating supper. If I eat anymore, I won't be able to eat." Song Zhi shook his head.
"It's fine if you don't want to eat. There's also a KTV inside. We can go and play together. The hotel always reserves a VIP room for me." The young man said with a smile. There was a sense of arrogance in his words.
"Brother Chen, are you going? If you are going, I'll go. If you are not going, I won't bother to go." Song Zhi looked at Chen Xing.
"I'm already an old man. I'm not interested in that anymore. It's getting late. You young people can play a little later. I have to go back." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. It was already past nine o 'clock. He was not in the mood to go to the KTV.
"Forget it. I won't go either. Ziqing, you go with your friend. I'll go back in their car later." Song Zhi said to Zhao Ziqing.
"Miss Song, if he doesn't want to go, let's go by ourselves. Ziqing, don't you think so?" The young man said hurriedly. He wished that Chen Xing and Li Yong wouldn't go. It would be a hindrance to have two more third wheels. He didn't ask them to go.
"I'm not going. I'm already tired of that kind of place. I'm not interested at all." Song Zhi shook his head resolutely.
"Tsk, Ziqing, your friend is not giving me face." The young man was a little angry.
"She's always like this. She's not targeting anyone. Don't mind her." Zhao Ziqing smiled bitterly. She pulled Song Zhi aside and whispered, "My good sister, just go with me. That person is like a dog skin plaster. If I don't agree with him, I don't know how I'll be pestered again. Let's just go there to eat and drink for free."
"I'm impressed. You said you'd treat me well. It turns out that you're dragging me into the fire pit." Song Zhi rolled her eyes at him.
"After all, we're good sisters who share weal and woe. I owe you a favor." Zhao Ziqing smiled helplessly. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't afford to offend the other party. Since the other party had come to her tonight, there was no way she could refuse.
"Well, I really don't know what to do with you." Song Zhi nodded.
"Brother Chen, are you going?" Walking to Chen Xing's side, Song Zhi asked again. She liked to drag Chen Xing along.
"Go and play with them. It's a rare break. Have fun. Don't say that I didn't treat you well." Chen Xing smiled.
"You didn't treat me well. You went to do your own things and left me to others." Song Zhi said angrily.
"You didn't even say hello. Of course I didn't have time." Chen Xing smiled. He really didn't know what to do with the other party.
They walked out together. The young man walked a few steps first. After a while, he was already driving an Audi A8 over. He said in a somewhat ostentatious manner. Fortunately, I drove this car here today. If I drove my Ferrari sports car out, it would not be good to sit.
"You two, where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?" The young man glanced at Chen Xing and Lee Yong as he spoke. From his eyes, one could tell that he wasn't sincere.
"No need. You can go." Li Yong said angrily. He was not as well-mannered as Chen Xing. He thought to himself, "Whose kid is this? He doesn't know how to discipline him. How dare he be so arrogant in front of the mayor?"
The young man drove Zhao Ziqing and Song Zhi away. When Li Yong saw the license plate, he was stunned for a moment and said to Chen Xing, "Mayor, that's the license plate of our Municipal Government."
"Really?" Chen Xing looked over. It was indeed the license plate of the Municipal Government. He frowned. Chen Xing shook his head. "Let's go. Don't worry about him. Let's go back."
