Jiang Wan lived on the fifth floor. The house was an old-fashioned building from 20 to 30 years ago. There was no elevator, so she had to walk up. For Chen Xing, who had been working in the office for a long time and had a private car and an elevator, climbing to the fifth floor in one breath was really a physical work. As soon as he reached the fifth floor, he was panting.
Mayor Chen, please have a glass of water. Jiang Wan poured a cup of hot water for Chen Xing and sat down next to Chen Xing cautiously. The room was simple. Mayor Chen, please don't laugh at me.
It's not a big deal. You're a woman working alone and earning money with your own hands. That's admirable. Chen Xing smiled. The small room Jiang Wan rented was also simple enough. In addition to a bed, there was a small table, and a lot of things were piled up in the room. It looked a little crowded. There were two sockets scattered on the floor, and the wire plugs extended from the floor to the other side of the bed. When Chen Xing came in, he almost tripped over the wire. With such hard living conditions, Chen Xing could imagine how hard it was for a woman to work alone.
People like you, Mayor Chen, are admirable. Jiang Wan looked at Chen Xing. Her eyes were particularly clear, even with an inexplicable feeling. Jiang Wan did not dare to show it too much, and suppressed her unrealistic thoughts.
Me? Chen Xing laughed and shook his head. It was not entirely a matter of ability that he could become the mayor of a city at such a young age. However, it was meaningless to discuss this with Jiang Wan. So, he changed the topic. "Oh yes, I heard from He Hi that she wanted to lend you some money to open a larger restaurant elsewhere. Why are you still here?"
Yes, Miss He said that she would give me hundreds of thousands of yuan to open a larger restaurant, but I'm afraid that I don't have the ability to do so, and then I'll let Miss He down. Besides, if the restaurant doesn't make money, where can I find so much money to return to Miss He? So I didn't dare to agree. Jiang Wan shook her head. Speaking of this, Jiang Wan also struggled in her heart. Everyone liked money. Although the money He Li said was not for free, he didn't say when to return it. As for the interest, there was no need for that. In short, she wanted to make money and return it when she had enough money.
After Jiang Wan struggled in her mind, she finally didn't dare to accept it. Although they had only known each other for a few days, He Li and Chu Rong were very nice to her. Maybe it was really because the three of them came from the same place, and they met in a strange place. There was a genuine feeling of friendship between fellow villagers and fellow villagers. As He Li said, they were all women, and it was a kind of fate that they could know each other in this strange place. It was natural for her to help them if she had the conditions.
However, because He Li and Chu Rong were very loyal, Jiang Wan was more worried that she would let down their kindness. She had no experience in running a business. Running a small restaurant was not the same as running a big restaurant. Her small restaurant could make a net profit of three to four thousand yuan a month, but it didn't mean that she could make money from a big restaurant. Hundreds of thousands of yuan might not be a lot of money for He Li, but it was an astronomical amount for Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan didn't even dare to think about how she could pay He Li if she lost all her money. She wanted to save money slowly and open a big restaurant in the future, but it would undoubtedly take a long time.
You've left your hometown and dared to travel thousands of miles to fight for your life in a foreign land. I don't think you don't have the guts to do so. You should know that sometimes, when an opportunity is gone, it will never come again. Now that you have such an opportunity, why don't you dare to give it a try? Chen Xing looked at Jiang Wan with encouragement in his eyes. Successful people were not only good at seizing opportunities, but also had courage and courage that ordinary people didn't have. Don't you want to get rid of your current life?
Who doesn't want to live a rich life? No one is born cheap and likes to be poor. I've been used to a hard life since I was a child, and I know how difficult it is to live in a poor family. I want to be rich more than anyone else. When I made up my mind to leave the small village in Ximen County, I came out with the idea of standing out. I hoped that I could get my family out of poverty, and I hoped to make my family not be poor by my own efforts. This is my biggest wish in my life.
Jiang Wan gritted her teeth, and her eyes were unprecedentedly firm. Only she knew her own bitterness. Who could imagine that on the day of her wedding, her husband had a car accident, his lower body was seriously injured, and he became a eunuch? She was scolded as a jinx by her in-laws and lived with humiliation for several years. Jiang Wan thought that she was a good woman. As a woman, she didn't hook up with other people outside because of her husband's impotence, and she didn't leave home because of the harsh insults of her in-laws.
It should be known that when she and her husband got married, they didn't go to get a marriage certificate, but just had a banquet. Since that happened on the day of their wedding, she and her husband didn't go to get a marriage certificate. Although they were already husband and wife according to the customs in the countryside, they were not legally recognized as husband and wife. In fact, under such circumstances, Jiang Wan could have left, but she didn't. This was already something that most people couldn't do. Which woman would be willing to live with a husband who was impotent? If her husband was very good to her, and her in-laws also loved her in every way possible, she could make do with her life, but the reality was not like this.
Living in such an environment, she didn't know how she endured it, but she still endured it for a few years and didn't do anything improper because of it. Jiang Wan felt that she had done her duty as a woman and a wife. If it weren't for the fact that her brother had a car accident and was in urgent need of a lot of money for surgery in the hospital, and the family didn't have the money, she hoped that her husband's family could help, but her husband and in-laws coldly refused, and her mother-in-law also ridiculed her. All these made her completely disappointed, and Jiang Wan wouldn't have the idea of leaving completely. In fact, the economic conditions of her husband's family were quite good. Although her husband had a car accident, his father-in-law was doing business and made a lot of money. Later, her husband took over his father-in-law's business and also did a good job.
In fact, the economic conditions of her husband's family were quite good. Although her husband had a car accident, her father-in-law was a businessman and made a lot of money. Later, her husband took over her father-in-law's business and did a good job. Their house was a three-story western-style building, which was considered a respectable family in the countryside. Her husband married her because she was beautiful. Otherwise, he would have thought that she was not a university student. Her husband only graduated from junior high school, but he said he wanted to marry a university student.
These were all gossip. Jiang Wan didn't know how much money her husband's family had, but she knew that taking out 100,000 yuan was not a lot of money for her husband's family. Jiang Wan also said that she would work hard to make money to help her husband pay back the money. But even so, her husband's family still ruthlessly refused. Otherwise, Jiang Wan wouldn't have agreed to Chen Quanqing's condition of letting her sleep with Chen Xing for one night and giving her 100,000 yuan.
It would be great if Chen Xing really had sex with her! Thousands of thoughts came to her mind. Inexplicably, Jiang Wan had such a thought, and there was an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.
Chen Xing didn't know that his words of encouragement would make Jiang Wan so emotional, and he didn't know that Jiang Wan was still thinking about the previous scene. If he knew, Chen Xing would have left immediately and didn't dare to stay any longer. A man and a woman alone, who knew what would happen.
If you have an idea, you should seize the opportunity to realize it. Many people have a headache when doing business without funds. Now that you have such an opportunity, don't miss it. If you don't even have the courage to take that step, how can you talk about success? Chen Xing said with a smile. When he passed by Jiang Wan's place, he suddenly had the idea to visit and see how Jiang Wan was doing. Honestly speaking, he naturally hoped that Jiang Wan could live a good life, and he didn't have any other thoughts.
So, Mayor Chen, do you want me to seize this opportunity? Jiang Wan looked up at Chen Xing.
It's not that I want you to seize this opportunity, but whether you want to seize this opportunity or not. A person's success may be determined by many factors, but personal factors are definitely the most important factor. It depends on you. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
Since Mayor Chen said so, then I will seize this opportunity. I am willing to do whatever Mayor Chen said. Jiang Wan suddenly said.
Tut, what is going on? Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did Jiang Wan's words sound so strange in his ears? It was really easy to let one's imagination run wild.
I just said what I thought. Jiang Wan said with a red face.
The more she said, the more ridiculous it became. Chen Xing said in his heart, and didn't know how to reply for a moment. Jiang Wan looked at him with a strange expression. Chen Xing vaguely felt that there was a burning emotion beating in the depths of her eyes. Yes, it was a burning emotion. Chen Xing was not a newbie in the field of flowers, and he could feel it.
If he sat down again, he would accidentally sit on the bed. Chen Xing thought so in his heart. As a family member, he knew his own affairs well. When it came to the affairs between men and women, he really didn't have much self-control. He simply stood up and said, "I'll go back first. If you encounter any problems, you can call me."
"Mayor Chen, won't you sit for a while?" Hearing this, Jiang Wan's face was full of disappointment. She looked at Chen Xing reluctantly.
It was not a good thing to sit down again. Chen Xing muttered and shook his head with a smile. "No, you've been tired all day, and you should rest early. I won't disturb you."
"No, I'm not tired. Mayor Chen, with you here, I'm full of energy." Jiang Wan didn't choose her words carefully. As soon as the words came out, Jiang Wan realized that something was wrong, and her face became even redder.
Chen Xing touched his nose embarrassedly. He really couldn't respond to this. He lifted his feet and was about to go out. It was okay if he didn't respond, but as he was distracted, Chen Xing tripped over the wire on the floor and leaned forward.
"Mayor Chen, be careful." Jiang Wan instinctively went forward to support him, but her whole body fell backward because of Chen Xing.
The two of them fell to the ground. Unfortunately, Chen Xing was still on top of Jiang Wan.
"Ahem, you really need to clean up the wire on the floor." Chen Xing stood up with his hands on the floor, looking a little embarrassed.
"I need to clean it up later. It's really easy to trip." Jiang Wan lowered her head, and her voice was as low as a mosquito.
"I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything." Chen Xing quickly left Jiang Wan's room.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan hurriedly followed him to see him off. Watching Chen Xing go down the stairs, Jiang Wan's eyes were blank. When Chen Xing's figure had disappeared, Jiang Wan walked back to her room with a sense of loss. Closing the door, Jiang Wan subconsciously thought that she had just been on top of Chen Xing. She didn't know what she was thinking about. After a while, she snorted softly and scolded herself for being shameless.
…
The next day, Chen Xing went to work as usual and dealt with documents for more than an hour. At around 10 o 'clock, Chen Xing took a short break to browse the news on the Internet as usual. As long as he stayed in the office, Chen Xing would deliberately spend ten to twenty minutes reading the news on the Internet every day. Today was no exception. Sometimes, he would also go to some local BBS forums and wander around as a tourist. This often allowed him to learn a lot of things that he usually couldn't understand.
"What's going on?" After seeing a post on a BBS, Chen Xing frowned slightly. The post was from last night.
"Little Chen, go and find out about this." Chen Xing called his secretary, Huang Jianghua, in and asked Huang Jianghua to pay attention to the post on the Internet.
More than ten minutes later, Huang Jianghua walked in again. "Mayor, what the post said is true.
Why didn't Ren Qiang report such a thing? " Chen Xing was slightly displeased. The post said that a policeman from Daxi City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Xing 'an City, ran into someone in a police car in Nanzhou and fled the scene. Fortunately, someone at the scene remembered the car plate number and reported it to the police in Nanzhou. When the police of Nanzhou went to Xing' an City to find out about the situation, the policeman denied it and refused to cooperate with the investigation. The police of Nanzhou wanted to take the policeman away by force, but the attitude of Xing 'an was very tough and refused to let the policeman go. Now the police of Nanzhou were at their wits' end. They expressed their helplessness to the family of the injured and said that they would try their best to bring the perpetrator to justice. However, there was no news for several days. The family of the injured couldn't sit still and asked whether the police car belonged to the Municipal Bureau of Daxi City or another department under the jurisdiction of Daxi Municipal Public Security Bureau. In the end, they found out that the police car belonged to the Daxi Municipal Public Security Bureau. The family of the injured gathered a large group of relatives, friends, and villagers. A group of 70 to 80 people went to the Daxi Municipal Public Security Bureau to seek justice.
As expected, they were forcibly dispersed after blocking the entrance of the Public Security Bureau for a while. If this matter was over, perhaps Chen Xing wouldn't pay attention to it. The attitude of the Municipal Bureau of Daxi City was tough. The family of the injured couldn't accept the fact that the man had been hit by the police car for nothing, so they gathered people to block the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. This time, they weren't as lucky as the first time. The Daxi Municipal Bureau directly detained a few people.
Things got out of hand. Two or three of those detained were villagers. When the news spread back to the village, the villagers were not happy. How could the police be justified in hitting someone? How dare they arrest someone without compensation? The whole village immediately took action. More than 1,000 people went to Daxi City, and the matter became more and more serious.
It should be mentioned that the police of Nanzhou who went to the Municipal Bureau of Daxi City to investigate the case were not from the Municipal Bureau, but the Chaoan County Public Security Bureau under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou City. Chaoan County happened to be the border between Nanzhou City and Xing 'an City, and it was next to Daxi City of Xing' an City. At that time, several people from the county traffic police went to Chaoan County, but they were ignored by the Daxi Municipal Bureau for a whole morning.
As for bringing people along, don't even think about it. If there was no such thing, why would you bring people along? In the end, the people from the Chaoan County Public Security Bureau returned with their tails between their legs. The Chaoan County Public Security Bureau was aware of the conflict, but they turned a blind eye to it. Wasn't the Daxi Municipal Bureau powerful? This hornet's nest was stirred up by them, so they should solve it themselves. As for the people from their own district besieging the Municipal Bureau, the Chaoan County Public Security Bureau pretended that they didn't know. When the Daxi Municipal Bureau informed them to stop the people, they used the excuse that the County Public Security Bureau was short on manpower and couldn't stop the people. They just sat there and waited to see the Daxi Municipal Bureau make a fool of themselves.
On the other hand, the situation at the Daxi Municipal Bureau attracted the attention of the Municipal Government of Xing 'an City. More than 1,000 people besieging the Public Security Bureau's gate. Although it was only the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was not a small matter. If they were not careful, it could easily lead to a larger group conflict. The one who pushed the matter further was the Executive Vice Mayor of Xing' an City, Wang Zheng. After understanding the situation, he ordered the "unruly people" from Nanzhou to be driven back, and the Public Security Bureau set up a checkpoint at the border between the two cities to stop them.
