On the way back, Chen Xing was a little silent. He sat in Yang Zhen's car, which couldn't accommodate too many people. Zhang Ying's family simply sat in a commercial car arranged by the county. As for contacting the experts in the hospital and respiratory medicine, since Chen Xing had spoken, he didn't have to do these things himself. Naturally, someone would arrange this matter properly. This was the advantage of power.
Director Yang, I've taken up a lot of your time today, right? Chen Xing said to Yang Zhen.
Mayor Chen, what are you talking about? I'm fine. Yang Zhen smiled and waved his hand.
Chen Xing nodded slightly and looked back at the car behind him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Yang, I'm going back to Nanzhou tomorrow. There's something I need to trouble you with. Help me take that little girl to Hai City and arrange a good school for her. Let her study in a different environment. Whether she wants to continue studying in the third semester of high school or drop one grade to the second semester of high school, I'll respect her choice."
"No problem, this is a small matter." Yang Zhen agreed without thinking. For him, this was just a matter of opening his mouth. It was a piece of cake to greet the Education Bureau.
Chen Xing smiled and didn't say anything. Yang Zhen sighed with emotion. Chen Xing was obviously very considerate of the little girl. With Chen Xing's influence in Xi Men, as long as he said a word, Fang Xiao, the county magistrate, would do it beautifully. He would arrange the best school and the best teachers in the county for the little girl. There was no need to consider tuition fees. However, Chen Xing didn't do that. In order to earn money for her father's treatment, the little girl worked as a hostess in a hotel. Although it was only for two months, it was a stain and memory that couldn't be erased. If the little girl continued to study in Xi Men, it was not necessarily a good thing for the little girl's physical and mental health development.
If the teachers and students around knew about this, they would inevitably point fingers and even laugh at it. This was also a very cruel thing for a little girl. The damage to the soul was far greater than the damage to the body. Chen Xing asked him to bring the little girl to the city to study. There was no doubt that he was considerate of the little girl. A new environment, a new interpersonal relationship, also meant a new beginning. This was a good thing for the little girl. He couldn't help but say from the bottom of his heart that Mayor Chen loved the people like his own children. It was really a kind of luck for the people to meet such a good official like Mayor Chen.
"Director Yang, when did you learn to say such compliments?" Chen Xing shook his head disapprovingly. Since he had met them, he just wanted to do something about it. Chen Xing didn't think that he was very noble. There were many families in the world like Zhang Ying's family, some of which were even more miserable and unbearable. And he could only help what he saw and saw. The power of an individual was very small, but the power of the country was strong. The injustice of society could only be made up for through the improvement of the social system, and this could only be adjusted at the national level.
"Mayor Chen, this is the truth from the bottom of my heart. It's not a compliment." Yang Zhen said seriously, which was rare for him.
Chen Xing gave a noncommittal smile and looked at the scenery outside the window. The car was moving forward at high speed, but the scenery was receding rapidly and disappeared from his sight. Wasn't life the same? Life could only move forward, and the past could never come back.
The car drove to the city, and the journey of 30 to 40 minutes was soon over. Yang Zhen knew that Chen Xing was going to the provincial capital to visit Zhou Mingfang for the New Year. In fact, he wanted to go with him very much. He couldn't wait to stick to Chen Xing for the whole day, so he didn't care that he had been with Chen Xing for most of the day. However, Chen Xing was going to the provincial capital, so Yang Zhen was too embarrassed to say it. If Chen Xing didn't say it himself, he would be too embarrassed to follow him.
When they arrived in the city, Chen Xing asked people from the county to send Zhang Ying's family to the hospital. After saying goodbye to Zhang Ying's family, he was about to leave. Seeing that Zhang Ying's father wanted to stand up and thank him, Chen Xing stopped him with a smile. "Brother Zhang, don't make trouble. Just sit in the car. When we arrive at the hospital, listen to the doctor's words and cooperate with the treatment. I have arranged everything for you."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Laifu. "Laifu, you are now a college student, and also an adult. You should be more sensible. If you have any difficulties, remember to contact me in time. Even if your father doesn't allow you to tell him, you have to tell him. Filial piety doesn't mean that you should blindly listen to your parents. Look, your father is so sick. If you don't have money for treatment, you obviously have my contact number, but you didn't call me to tell me. Although your father didn't allow you to tell him, you are not filial piety. You are harming your father.
Do you know that? I know, Brother Chen. " The young man clenched his fist and nodded hard. He admired this person who was only ten years older than him.
What Chen Xing didn't know was that his unintentional action today had planted the seeds of power and dreams in the young man's heart.
"Little Ying, go back to school and study hard. See if you can get into a university. I am waiting for your good news." Chen Xing smiled and winked at Zhang Ying. This girl who had been hurt and was extremely sensitive needed encouragement and comfort.
"I will. I will study hard. I want to get into the University of Nanzhou." Zhang Ying looked at Chen Xing and secretly vowed in her heart that she would repay Chen Xing, her big brother, in the future. As for her work experience in the hotel, Zhang Ying was very grateful to Chen Xing for keeping it a secret for her. Otherwise, she would not have the chance to face her parents.
That's good. However, the University of Nanzhou is a national key university. You've fallen behind by two months. If you want to continue studying in the second semester of your third year, you'll have to work even harder. I'll be waiting to hear your good news. Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Ying's family, Chen Xing left. He was going to the provincial capital. Chen Xing didn't plan to take Yang Zhen's car again. He knew that if he brought Yang Zhen to visit Zhou Mingfang, Yang Zhen would definitely be happy to have such an opportunity. However, he didn't mention it to Zhou Mingfang in advance, so it was not good for Chen Xing to bring an outsider. Seeing Yang Zhen's inadvertent glance, Chen Xing could only pretend not to see it. He smiled and said, "Director Yang, sorry for troubling you today."
"Mayor Chen is treating me like an outsider again." Yang Zhen pretended to be unhappy. Then he smiled and said, "Mayor Chen is going to the provincial capital. Do you want me to send you there?"
"No, Director Yang has been delayed by me today. You should hurry back to your own business." Chen Xing smiled.
"That's good. If Mayor Chen needs anything, call me at any time." Yang Zhen nodded. Since Chen Xing said so, he also knew when to advance and when to retreat. It would be meaningless to take the initiative to ask. Moreover, his relationship with Chen Xing was very close now, so there was no need to force him.
Chen Xing smiled and said goodbye to Yang Zhen. Chen Xing went upstairs to visit Zhou Mingfang in the provincial capital. His wife, Zhang Ningning, also wanted to go with him. Chen Xing originally planned to drive his father's Volkswagen, but he didn't want to drink at noon. Although he was not afraid of being found drunk driving, Chen Xing didn't want to do this kind of thing, so he had to let his wife drive.
Ningning is pregnant now. Will it be too tiring to drive such a long distance? Why don't I send you there? I have nothing to do anyway. Chen Ping's father said with concern.
"Dad, don't worry. It's only one or two hours on the highway. It's not far. I'm not that delicate." Zhang Ningning smiled. She had taken a nap at noon and was now full of energy.
"Ningning, then you have to drive slowly. Don't be in a hurry. Don't drive too fast." Zou Fang also said at this time.
Seeing his parents' anxious look, Chen Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that his precious son had to give up his position. His parents only cared about their daughter-in-law. It seemed that his son had no status.
He got in the car with Zhang Ningning and went to the provincial capital. On the way, Chen Xing asked Zhang Ningning, "Ningning, how is the operation of your foundation now? It's going well.
Why do you suddenly ask about this? " Zhang Ningning asked curiously.
"Today, I went to Ximen and met the family of the girl who used to clean up for me. Alas, the life of the girl's family is very difficult. I feel sad when I see it. There are so many people in our country who live a luxurious life every day, but there are still so many people who live in abyss of suffering." Chen Xing said gloomily.
"This is an inevitable result of the unfair social distribution system. Chen Xing, we can only do our best to help more people and do what we can. As for the rest, we can't do anything." Zhang Ningning said helplessly. She understood the deeper meaning in Chen Xing's words. However, as a top red disciple, Zhang Ningning, who had close contact with high-level officials, could deeply understand the huge resistance that the current reform faced than Chen Xing.
"I know, I'm just complaining. There are some things that can only be done with a clear conscience." Chen Xing sighed. "There are too many people in this society who need help, but we can't help everyone."
"Don't worry, our foundation will become bigger and better. We will definitely be able to help more and more people in the future." Zhang Ningning said with a smile.
