After receiving the call, Chen Xing came over to attend the discussion on the medium and long-term education reform and development given by the central government. At the discussion, there were principals and teacher representatives from all levels of schools in the city. The Secretary of the Municipal Education Bureau, Ma Chaoan, presided over the meeting.
On the rostrum, Chen Xing naturally sat in the middle seat. On his left and right were the Secretary General of the Municipal Government, Jiang Bingxuan, and the Director of the Education Bureau, Ma Chaoan. As for Yang Hong, she sat a few seats away from Chen Xing. Yang Hong was one of the last few deputies in the Education Bureau, so her seat was almost at the edge.
Chen Xing gave a speech at the discussion. All levels of education departments and schools must pay great attention to the spirit of the central government's speech. They must unify their thinking and actively promote the development of education to provide more talents for the development of society. At the meeting, Chen Xing emphasized the importance of ensuring investment in the construction of school buildings, teachers, and other hardware and software. This was to ensure that students could have a good learning environment and receive quality education.
While Chen Xing was speaking, Ma Chaoan, who was beside him, was daydreaming. Ma Chaoan's gaze occasionally drifted to the side, where Yang Hong was sitting. In fact, Ma Chaoan was very surprised that Chen Xing would attend today's discussion. Originally, the Bureau had invited Chen Xing to attend, but they didn't expect Chen Xing to actually attend. If Jiang Bingxuan, the Secretary General of the Education Bureau, came over, the Education Bureau would be satisfied. He didn't expect Chen Xing to attend today's discussion. This surprised and delighted Ma Chaoan. With Chen Xing's attendance, today's discussion would be completely different.
Thinking about how Yang Hong had been going to the municipal government a few times recently and seeing Chen Xing every time, Ma Chaoan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. Yang Hong was the flower of the education system, a well-known beauty. Even if all the beautiful female teachers in the city were to be included, Yang Hong would definitely be ranked in the top three. If only the municipal government was included, Yang Hong would definitely stand out. Not only would outsiders drool at the sight of her, even Ma Chaoan, a bureau chief who frequently interacted with Yang Hong, felt his heart itch.
Ma Chaoan knew that Yang Hong went to the Municipal Government for the two million yuan allocated to Qingyuan County's Second High School. That was promised by Zhang Xinjun when he was still the Deputy Mayor. Now that Zhang Xinjun was already in office, who would care about what Zhang Xinjun said? Furthermore, when Zhang Xinjun was still in office, he did not fulfill his promise. Others might not know, but how could Ma Chaoan, the Bureau Chief, not know? Zhang Xinjun was only interested in Yang Hong's beauty and wanted to get close to her. That was why he used the two million yuan as an issue. If Yang Hong ignored him, Zhang Xinjun naturally could not do anything. After all, the money was for Qingyuan County's Second High School, and it had nothing to do with Yang Hong. If they really had a relationship, it would be because Yang Hong was from Qingyuan County, but she used to study at Qingyuan County's First High School. However, her teacher was transferred to Qingyuan County's Second High School as the principal.
In any case, Ma Chaoan knew that Zhang Xinjun did not get what he wanted in the end. Yang Hong had no reason to sacrifice herself for the two million yuan. She had to repay her teacher, but this was not the way to do it. As for why Zhang Xinjun did not dare to use force on Yang Hong, the reason was simple. Yang Hong's father used to be the County's Party Secretary and was now the Deputy Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference. Although he did not have any real power and only enjoyed the treatment of a Deputy Office Head, he was still a respectable person. Zhang Xinjun did not want to fall out with Yang Hong over his dirty thoughts. After all, he was still the Deputy Mayor. No matter what he did in private, he still had to pay attention to his reputation.
Yang Hong ignored Zhang Xinjun's hint and naturally did not expect the two million yuan. However, the world was full of drama. One moment, Zhang Xinjun was in high spirits, and the next moment, he was arrested without any warning. Now that Zhang Xinjun was in trouble, there was even less hope of getting the two million yuan. Yang Hong originally thought that this matter would end like this, but she could not stop her teacher from visiting her house again and again, begging her to help. Second High was too poor and really needed the two million yuan. The construction of the new school building still depended on the money. Her teacher was very sincere in begging Yang Hong.
Because of this, Yang Hong did not sleep for the whole night. In the end, her husband inadvertently gave her an idea. He said that Zhang Xinjun was the Deputy Mayor, and even if something happened to him, he had promised to give the school funds a long time ago. Now that something had happened to him, the city government should pay for the 2 million RMB, and they could use this as an excuse to run around again. She heard that the new Mayor was a practical person, and the central government was emphasizing on supporting the development of education. The new Mayor should take this seriously.
Her husband's reason was too far-fetched and unreliable. However, Yang Hong's mind started to work. If she did not try, how would she know that it would not work? Although she, as a Deputy Bureau Chief, went to the Municipal Government to ask for money, she was a female official. She had the advantage of being a female official, so she could give it a try.
Because of this, Yang Hong went to the Bureau Chief Ma Chaoan and told him her thoughts. Ma Chaoan immediately expressed his stance. He did not support it, but he did not oppose it either. If Yang Hong wanted to run away, she could do it herself. It had nothing to do with the Ministry of Education. It was Yang Hong's personal decision. Ma Chaoan was afraid that Yang Hong would offend the leaders in the city. He wanted to draw a clear line first. Anyway, the money was not for the Ministry of Education.
Ma Chaoan did not want to be involved. However, the result surprised him. Although Yang Hong did not run away with the money, she was able to enter Chen Xing's office several times. There was no way for him to not think about it. One was a young Mayor, the other was a beautiful female Deputy Bureau Chief. The man was full of vigor, and the woman was at the age where she was like a wolf and a tiger. Coupled with the lubricant of power that could attract people like moths to a flame, would something happen between the two of them?
Ma Chaoan was making wild guesses in his mind. Furthermore, Chen Xing's promise to attend today's forum made Ma Chaoan certain that he had guessed correctly. Just now, when he was waiting for Chen Xing, Chen Xing did not show up. He tried to get Yang Hong to give Chen Xing a call. Yang Hong really did it. She found out that Chen Xing was in the hospital and would be coming over soon. This made Ma Chaoan even more uneasy. Could it be that the two of them were having an affair so soon?
Ma Chaoan's mind was running wild. He thought back to the rumors that Chen Xing and Lin Hong had an ambiguous relationship. Ma Chaoan pondered. Could it be that Chen Xing was especially interested in women? Lin Hong was Li Haocheng's lover. Not many people knew that Lin Hong was Li Haocheng's lover, but there were definitely more than a few. Ma Chaoan just happened to know about this. He did not know who spread the rumors that Chen Xing and Lin Hong were having an affair. However, there was no such thing as a groundless rumor. Someone must have seen the two of them together. If that was really the case, then Chen Xing was too aggressive. While fighting openly and covertly with Li Haocheng, he also slept with Li Haocheng's woman. This was really awesome. Now, Li Haocheng had become a fugitive who escaped punishment. The development of this plot was really dazzling.
The power struggle in the city did not have much to do with Ma Chaoan. As the Director of Education, he was outside the core of power. However, the rumors he heard confirmed Chen Xing's lustful nature. As such, it was not impossible for Chen Xing and Yang Hong to have an affair in a short period of time.
Ma Chaoan was not lost in thought for too long. After Chen Xing's speech, Ma Chaoan immediately came back to his senses. He presided over the meeting with a serious face. The following discussion session was the discussion session. Chen Xing did not stay until the end of the meeting. Instead, he asked everyone to continue the meeting and left first. Ma Chaoan asked the Deputy Director, Pan Jinjin, to preside over the meeting on his behalf. Ma Chaoan walked him out the door. Interestingly, when he was about to reach the door, Ma Chaoan waved at Yang Hong.
Mayor Chen, we have already booked a private room in the hotel. Why don't you stay for lunch? Outside the door, Ma Chaoan tried to sound out Chen Xing's intentions as he walked. He naturally hoped that Chen Xing would stay for lunch. After he finished speaking, he gave Yang Hong a look. It was obvious that he wanted Yang Hong to do her part.
That's right, Mayor Chen. It's already past 11. Mayor Chen, please stay for lunch. After receiving Ma Chaoan's instructions, Yang Hong quickly agreed. However, Ma Chaoan's gaze made her a little puzzled. Something was not right.
No need. Chen Xing calmly waved his hand and turned to look at Yang Hong. Chen Xing thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Yang Hong, prepare a report on the situation at Qingyuan County's Second High. I will send someone to verify it."
Ah? Yang Hong was stunned for a moment. She stared straight at Chen Xing, unable to react for a moment. Previously, she had gone to the Municipal Government to pester Chen Xing a few times. Each time, Chen Xing would find time to see her. However, when it came to the two million yuan, Chen Xing refused to budge. Now that Chen Xing suddenly expressed his stance, Yang Hong was pleasantly surprised. She heard a light cough beside her. It was from Ma Chaoan. Only then did Yang Hong react. She said happily, "Mayor Chen, I will send the information to your office in the afternoon.
I knew it. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy. " Ma Chaoan muttered to himself. Even Zhang Xinjun had agreed to the funding. Ma Chaoan wouldn't believe that nothing had happened between Chen Xing and Yang Hong. Zhang Xinjun had reneged on the debt because he couldn't get Yang Hong. Now that something had happened to Zhang Xinjun, Chen Xing was willing to pay for Zhang Xinjun. That meant that he must have gotten Yang Hong. Otherwise, why would Chen Xing agree to budge? Ma Chaoan thought to himself. He sighed at Yang Hong's surprised expression. Little Yang was getting better at acting. She already knew about it, but she still acted surprised and happy.
After sending Chen Xing off, Ma Chaoan looked at Yang Hong with a smile. He immediately said, "Yang Hong, in the future, the communication between the bureau and the Municipal Government will depend on you. You have to go to the Municipal Government more often and follow in the footsteps of the leaders. I support you in getting funding for Qingyuan County's Second High School. In the future, you have to fight for more funding for our bureau."
Pui. Yang Hong heard Ma Chaoan's words and cursed in her heart. Ma Chaoan still had the cheek to say that he would support her in getting funding for Qingyuan County's Second High School. Despite cursing, Yang Hong's expression didn't change. It was just that Ma Chaoan's tone and expression made her feel uncomfortable.
Yang Hong didn't know that Ma Chaoan already thought that she had that kind of relationship with Chen Xing. At this moment, she smiled and nodded. Chief Ma, if I can really talk to the leaders of the Municipal Government, I will definitely try my best to fight for benefits for our bureau. I'm just afraid that I don't have the ability to do so.
Pretend, you can pretend all you want. Ma Chaoan pursed his lips and smiled. "Yang Hong, Mayor Chen treats you differently. Look, you fought for two million yuan for Qingyuan County's Second High School. It hasn't been long and you've already gotten it. As long as you make a move, I believe that you will definitely succeed."
"Chief Ma, Mayor Chen only asked me to prepare the information. He didn't say that he would definitely agree." Yang Hong smiled bitterly.
That was just a formality. Mayor Chen would definitely agree. Ma Chaoan swore as though he was Chen Xing. In his heart, he had already determined that Chen Xing and Yang Hong were in a relationship. It would be strange if Chen Xing didn't agree.
Chen Xing left the Ministry of Education and returned to the Municipal Government. If he knew that his concern for the development of education had been misunderstood like this, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Outside the office, Xiao Yuanqing was already waiting. Chen Xing looked at Xiao Yuanqing in surprise. He came back so quickly. How was the situation at the First Hospital?
Deputy Mayor Zeng was the last to go over. Xiao Yuanqing scanned both sides of the corridor. He was afraid that someone would hear him. Just now, when he was standing upstairs, he saw Zeng Gaoqiang's car enter.
Come in first. Chen Xing saw Xiao Yuanqing's actions and walked into the office.
