The Provincial Economic Working Conference was held as scheduled in the Nanzhou Auditorium. Fu Youjun, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Shun Baolai, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and governor of the Provincial Party Committee, attended the conference. Zhao Liansheng, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, presided over the conference.
Wang Qinghai, director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress, Feng Yuandong, chairman of the Provincial People's Political Consultative Conference, Guan Zhenming, and other provincial leaders attended the conference.
It was the annual Economic Working Conference of Nanhai Province. Now it was the end of December. In addition to learning the spirit of the Central Economic Working Conference, the annual Economic Working Conference was also held to summarize the economic work of the province this year, analyze the current economic situation, and make arrangements for the economic work next year and in the future. Fu Youjun, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Shun Baolai, governor of the Provincial Party Committee, both made important speeches at the conference, putting forward certain requirements for the economic work next year and in the future.
As the mayor of the provincial capital, Chen Xing's seat was arranged in the front row. All the provincial leaders were sitting on the rostrum, and Chen Xing was not qualified to sit there. Nearly two hours had passed since the conference. Even Chen Xing felt a little tired, and his eyes glanced back from time to time. On the left of Chen Xing sat Xiao Longbo, general manager of the Provincial Party Refining Corporation. Although it was only the main hall of the enterprise, the Provincial Party Refining Corporation, as a key state-owned enterprise in the province, generated a lot of profits and taxes for the province every year. As the general manager of the Provincial Party Refining Corporation, Xiao Longbo undoubtedly had his own confidence in facing ordinary municipal cadres. In the Provincial Party Refining Corporation, which was like an independent kingdom, Xiao Longbo was the local emperor.
Chen Xing had looked for Xiao Longbo several times, but Xiao Longbo avoided him every time. The night before yesterday, he planned to go directly to the headquarters of the Provincial Party Refining Corporation to find Xiao Longbo. However, in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Xiao Yuanqing came back and said that Xiao Longbo had gone on a business trip. This time, it was a real business trip, not an excuse to hide from Chen Xing. Therefore, Chen Xing had to give up his plan. Otherwise, he might not have time to attend Lin Hong's wedding the night before.
Today, Chen Xing planned to use the opportunity of the meeting to keep a close eye on Xiao Longbo. No matter what, he had to find Xiao Longbo to sit down and talk with him. Therefore, when the meeting was about to end, Chen Xing frequently glanced back, for fear that when the meeting was over, he would let Xiao Yuanqing disappear again.
Perhaps noticing Chen Xing's gaze, Xiao Longbo raised his head and looked in the direction of Chen Xing. Seeing Chen Xing looking over, Xiao Longbo smiled at Chen Xing politely. Those who didn't know him might think that they had a good relationship. However, they didn't know that Xiao Longbo had refused Chen Xing's invitation several times before. Although he didn't refuse directly, Xiao Longbo undoubtedly expressed his dissatisfaction to Chen Xing in his own way.
As soon as the two-hour economic working meeting was over, Chen Xing immediately walked in the direction of Xiao Longbo. When Chen Xing was about to stop Xiao Longbo, he suddenly saw a person rush out from the side and rushed to Xiao Longbo before him. "President Xiao, it's really not easy to have a meal with you. Since we've met today, you can't run away again, or I'll be unhappy."
The person in front of him stopped Xiao Longbo and said enthusiastically. Chen Xing recognized who the person was at first glance. It was Li Bing, the mayor of Xing 'an City. He looked back quietly and seemed to see Chen Xing suddenly. He said in surprise, "Mayor Chen, are you also going to invite President Xiao for a meal?"
"Mayor Li is right. I've invited President Xiao many times, but President Xiao is too busy and can't find time. Since we've finally met today, of course, we can't miss this opportunity." Narrowing his eyes, Chen Xing had a formal smile on his face, but there was a hint of displeasure in the depth of his eyes. If his judgment was correct, Li Bing was purposely trying to snatch Xiao Longbo away from him. Knowing that Chen Xing was looking for Xiao Longbo, Li Bing deliberately interfered.
"Ah, what should we do? President Xiao is alone. It seems that one of us can't get what we want." Li Bing said with a laugh. His eyes swept over Chen Xing's face without leaving a trace. Li Bing joked again, "Mayor Chen, I think we should just divide President Xiao into two halves. This will solve the problem."
"Mayor Li, Mayor Chen, if you divide me into two halves, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat." Xiao Longbo looked at Chen Xing and then turned to look at Li Bing with a bitter smile on his face. He seemed to be in a dilemma. Two mayors invited him to a meal at the same time. If he accepted one, he would offend the other. Although Xiao Longbo didn't need to be too afraid of them, this kind of thing was really a headache. Xiao Longbo rolled his eyes and inadvertently saw Zhang Luming, the secretary of Shun Baolai, who was about to go out. Xiao Longbo suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that Governor Shun also asked me to report the performance of this year's refining to him. I have to hurry, or it won't be good to keep the leader waiting for a long time."
After Xiao Longbo finished speaking, he smiled apologetically at Chen Xing and Li Bing, and then left as if he was escaping. At this time, if he could leave immediately, Xiao Longbo would never stay for a moment longer.
Chen Xing and Li Bing looked at each other. Li Bing said with a smile, "Mayor Chen, President Xiao might have been scared away by our enthusiasm. It seems that we have to wait for another day."
Chen Xing smiled and nodded. Although he didn't like Li Bing, he still had to be polite. At this moment, Li Bing didn't want to chat with Chen Xing too much. Both of them were secretly competing for the settlement of the petrochemical industry base. Although they didn't have any grudges against each other, it was impossible for them to sit down and chat merrily.
After leaving the auditorium, Chen Xing's face was slightly gloomy. In the beginning, it was Wang Zheng who made trouble for the petrochemical industry base. The originally clear situation suddenly changed. Now the whole Xing 'an City saw some hope in this matter, and even Mayor Li Bing jumped out. However, it was not strange. When it came to an investment of more than ten billion, any place would be tempted. Li Bing's action was not strange. Chen Xing didn't have any resentment towards Li Bing, but he was angry with Wang Zheng. In Chen Xing's view, Wang Zheng was also against him.
Driving to Coastal Avenue, Chen Xing entered Lin Hong's restaurant. The door of the restaurant was open, but the restaurant was not open to the public. Chen Xing was slightly surprised. There were only one or two waiters in the restaurant. It was very quiet. Seeing Lin Hong sitting in the hall, Chen Xing walked up to him and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is Miss Lin's restaurant going to close?"
"I have such a plan, but I'm still considering it." Lin Hong said with a smile.
Lin Hong's answer surprised Chen Xing. He looked at Lin Hong with a puzzled look. "Isn't your restaurant's business quite good? Why are you closing down all of a sudden?"
"I might not be in Nanzhou anymore, so I have to consider whether or not this restaurant will continue to operate." Lin Hong smiled. "Mayor Chen, please sit. If you stand, I won't dare to sit."
Chen Xing nodded and sat down. Having interacted with Lin Hong many times, Chen Xing was also very casual. He smiled and said, "From what you said, you asked me out today to bid farewell?"
"Yes, I asked Mayor Chen out today to bid farewell. No matter what, Mayor Chen really helped me a lot this time. If I leave without saying goodbye, Mayor Chen will probably blame me in his heart for not knowing how to be a person." Lin Hong said with a smile. "I plan to go back to Yan Jun's hometown with him. Perhaps we will take root there. Of course, we may also go to other cities together. In any case, we may not return to Nanzhou."
"Isn't Nanzhou good? Miss Lin's idea is too sudden." Chen Xing smiled and looked at Lin Hong with surprise. As far as he knew, Lin Hong's career was here. To give up this city and go to other places was equivalent to starting all over again. No matter who it was, to make such a decision would be very difficult. From Lin Hong's words, it could be seen that she hadn't made the final decision, but the idea in her heart was already very strong. Chen Xing was surprised because Lin Hong's idea was too sudden.
"Yan Jun and I still have to go to his hometown to hold a banquet. It just so happens that we are leaving Nanzhou, so we thought we might as well stay outside." Lin Hong smiled.
"Miss Lin, I don't believe that this is your real reason." Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Lin Hong. "However, I believe that you must have your reasons for making such a decision. I won't ask anymore. In the future, I will wish Miss Lin a happy and happy life and give birth to a few more fat boys."
"Thank you, Mayor Chen. It is my honor to be able to make friends with you." Lin Hong said sincerely. After that, Lin Hong became silent, as if there was something difficult to say. After an unknown period of time, Lin Hong opened her mouth. "Mayor Chen, I heard that you have a good relationship with Deputy Governor Guan?
Who did you hear this from? " Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong. He remembered that he didn't mention this in front of Lin Hong.
"Of course, I have my own information channels. Mayor Chen, although I am a law-abiding citizen now, I have a lot of connections in the past. Those people may drop the ball at the critical moment, but they can still be useful in gathering information." Lin Hong smiled. "I heard that my trouble this time was personally suppressed by Deputy Governor Guan. I don't think Deputy Governor Guan would care about the life and death of a small figure like me. I guess it was you, Mayor Chen, who helped Deputy Governor Guan."
"Yes, I called Deputy Governor Guan last night. Fortunately, Deputy Governor Guan gave me face. Otherwise, if the Provincial Department investigated you, it would be a little troublesome." Chen Xing smiled.
"Mayor Chen, there is something I don't know if I should say." Lin Hong wanted to say something but stopped.
"We have had a good cooperation before. What can't we talk about now?" Chen Xing pretended to be unhappy and tightened his face. "Miss Lin, you are treating me as an outsider on purpose."
"I want to tell Mayor Chen that he should be careful of Deputy Governor Guan in the future. At least, he should pay more attention to him." Lin Hong finally said the words that he had been worried about for a long time.
Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong in astonishment. Lin Hong's words really surprised him. Looking at Lin Hong seriously, Chen Xing's face gradually became serious. "Miss Lin, I believe that your words are not baseless. Can you tell me the reason?"
"Mayor Chen, if you want me to give you a 100% convincing reason, I can't tell you. However, I don't know if Mayor Chen knows one thing. The Provincial Department investigated my case under the instruction of Deputy Governor Guan." Lin Hong looked at Chen Xing calmly. "Let me tell Mayor Chen something you don't know. Deputy Governor Guan and Zheng Guangfu know each other. Moreover, they are not ordinary acquaintances. They have a close relationship. I think the number of people who know this secret, including the dead Zheng Guangfu, is less than one hand."
"How do you know this?" Chen Xing almost slammed the table and stood up. What Lin Hong told him really shocked him.
"Of course, I used some dishonorable means to know this. Mayor Chen, it's not like you don't know that I put some listening devices around Zheng Guangfu. It's a coincidence that I know this secret." Lin Hong shook his head. "However, this matter is too big. I didn't dare to tell others. Even when Li Haocheng was still in office, I didn't dare to tell him. Now that Zheng Guangfu is dead, I thought this matter would rot in my stomach. I didn't expect that I would still tell you, Mayor Chen. Speaking of which, it is you, Mayor Chen, who I am willing to trust."
"So this is the real reason you want to leave Nanzhou this time?" Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong.
"En, it's this reason. This time, the Provincial Department investigated me under the instruction of Deputy Governor Guan. Although you, Mayor Chen, helped me solve this problem, I don't know if there will be similar problems in the future. I think it's better for me to leave Nanzhou, this troublesome place. Perhaps Deputy Governor Guan doesn't want to see me stay in Nanzhou." Lin Hong's expression was a bit gloomy. She had lived in Nanzhou for more than 20 years. It was the most brilliant flowering period of a woman's life. She stayed in Nanzhou. If it wasn't because she had no other choice, Lin Hong didn't want to leave. She was used to living in a place. No one would be willing to suddenly change to a strange place.
"Miss Lin, perhaps you're just thinking too much. Regardless of the relationship between Deputy Governor Guan and Zheng Guangfu, since it was suppressed this time, and Deputy Governor Guan personally said it, I think there shouldn't be any more problems in the future. You can continue to stay." Chen Xing glanced at Lin Hong. In his heart, he already believed 80-90% of Lin Hong's words. At this time, the shock in the depths of his heart had yet to completely subside. Thinking back to his several face-to-face interactions with Guan Jinhui, apart from what Xiao Guodong had told Chen Xing at the beginning, that Guan Jinhui was a person with many small schemes in his heart, Chen Xing didn't think there was anything bad about Guan Jinhui. What Lin Hong told him had caused quite a bit of impact on his original thoughts.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but I think it's better for me to leave this troublesome place." Lin Hong faintly smiled. "Although my career is here, I don't have too many pursuits for money. Besides, if I sell my business in Nanzhou, the money is enough for me to squander for a lifetime. In fact, now that I think about it, what does a person need so much money for in a lifetime? As long as I have a well-off life, a few good friends, and my family and friends aren't sick or in trouble, isn't this life very perfect and happy?"
"Miss Lin, I can't even catch up to your current state of mind." Chen Xing shook his head and couldn't help but laugh. The hardships and difficulties of life would slowly change a person. These words were not false at all. The Lin Hong he knew at the beginning was like a completely different person from the current Lin Hong. Thinking back to the time when Lin Hong gave him the evidence of Zheng Guangfu, her purpose was to make a deal with him and obtain Zheng Guangfu's business. At that time, Lin Hong was still an ambitious woman with a big appetite. Not long after, Lin Hong had become a different person. It could be seen that the encounter with the gunshot had brought an earth-shattering change to Lin Hong's state of mind. Perhaps only after experiencing death could one's life truly be sublimated.
"Mayor Chen, don't make fun of me. Don't be fooled by my words. To be honest, I still have a lot of reluctance in my heart. Take this restaurant for example. In fact, I don't really care about the money this restaurant makes, but I'm quite reluctant to part with this restaurant. It's on the seaside, and I like the environment here. This restaurant was designed by me at that time. I would sell the other businesses without hesitation, but I'm reluctant to sell this restaurant. I want to keep it as a memory for myself.
"Then you can hire someone else to help you manage it. Even if you're not in Nanzhou, it won't affect you." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Let's wait and see. Today, I invited Mayor Chen out mainly to bid farewell to Mayor Chen. Let's not talk about these messy things." Lin Hong said with a smile. In the future, if he wanted to sit down and eat with Mayor Chen, it would be very difficult to have this opportunity.
As long as he had the heart, there were still many opportunities. Now that the transportation was so developed, it was convenient to go anywhere. Chen Xing smiled. "By the way, why don't I see your little boyfriend?"
"Mayor Chen, it's time to change the way you address me. You should call me Mister." Lin Hong smiled and rolled his eyes at Chen Xing. "He went to his company to handle the resignation procedures. In the future, I don't dare to let him be a bodyguard. It's too dangerous. Besides, we're leaving, and he can't do it anymore. Today, he went to handle the resignation procedures and said goodbye to a group of friends."
"So that's how it is." Chen Xing nodded and looked at Lin Hong with emotion. Lin Hong had also put away his thoughts and wanted to be a good woman. Chen Xing felt that the world was changing too fast. Feeling something in his heart, Chen Xing also became silent for a while.
After a long time, Chen Xing looked up at Lin Hong and sighed. "It's good to leave. I'll move to a new place and start a new life. Everything in Nanzhou, good or bad, will be a memory."
"What Mayor Chen said is exactly what I'm thinking." Lin Hong said with a smile.
