After Chen Xing and Guan Jinhui finished their meal, they went to another place to drink tea. Guan Jinhui no longer mentioned anything about Chen Tongjin and Ceng Gaoqiang. They just chatted and talked about their daily lives. Guan Jinhui retired to the second line. Now he was very free. He smiled and asked Chen Xing to visit him when he was free. Anyway, he had a lot of time now. Although he was the deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, Guan Jinhui was not in charge. The work of the National People's Congress was basically useless. Guan Jinhui was not very interested in it.
At nine o 'clock, Chen Xing sent Guan Jinhui to the car and then left.
In the car, less than a minute or two later, Chen Xing's phone rang. When he saw the caller, Chen Xing was confused. He rolled his eyes and picked up the phone. "What's the matter?"
"Can't I call you for nothing?" On the other end of the phone, Song Zhi snorted. "Mayor, you are so busy these days. Every time you say you have no time. When will you have time to play with me for half a day?"
"Do you think I have nothing to do all day like you?" Chen Xing said angrily. This little girl seemed to be crazy. She did not want to go to work at all. Chen Xing was too lazy to worry about her. Anyway, this little girl's family was not short of money. "I know you are busy, but you should also strike a balance between work and rest.
I know you're busy, but you have to strike a balance between work and rest. You have to be tight and relaxed. This is the correct working attitude. Look, I'm so thoughtful for you. Do you think I purposely asked you to come out to play with me? I'm mainly thinking for you. I'm afraid you'll be too tired from work. Song Zhi said confidently. Whatever came out of her mouth, unreasonable words could become reasonable.
"Well, I don't need you to worry about me. Little girl, just eat, play and sleep well. As long as you don't disturb me, I can relax more." Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. He was angry and amused at the same time. This little girl was really invincible. At least he could not control her. He had to admit defeat every time.
"Oh, Brother Chen Xing, you always say such sad words as if I'm very annoying. I really don't dare to call you anymore." As Song Zhi spoke, he sounded as if he was about to cry. Chen Xing listened on the other end of the phone. He couldn't help but imagine how Song Zhi was trying to hold back his laughter when he said these words.
Is that so? If you really don't dare to hit me, I will definitely pray to the gods.
"Brother Chen Xing, if you say so, I really won't call you anymore in case you say that I'm bothering you. Otherwise, just wait and see. From today onwards, if you receive my call again, I'll be a puppy." Song Zhi said pitifully.
When Chen Xing heard this, he thought that the sun had risen from the west today. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Song Zhi say, "I'll go to your office directly in the future, lest you think that I'm bothering you by calling you."
Chen Xing sat there helplessly. He knew that this little girl would never change. He was so choked by Song Zhi's words that he couldn't say anything.
"Brother Chen Xing, it's a deal. We haven't seen each other for several days. I'll go to your office tomorrow. See you there." Song Zhi didn't ask whether Chen Xing agreed or not and directly made the decision.
"I don't think you should come. I have no time to deal with you even if you come. Just let me be a little less worried, my little girl." Chen Xing said with a wry smile.
"It's okay if you don't go, but you have to promise me one thing."
"No way.
Then I have to go. I'll stay in your office for the whole day tomorrow. I'll go again the day after tomorrow.
"All right, tell me what it is."
"It's nothing. Hee hee, my parents will come to Nanzhou tomorrow. They said that they want to see what my boyfriend is like. You, my fake boyfriend, can make an impressive appearance." Song Zhi said with a smile as if her scheme had succeeded.
…
"How about it? If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you agree. Tomorrow night, we'll contact each other by phone, and I'll inform you in advance. " Song Zhi said with a sneaky smile, not giving Chen Xing a chance to refuse at all.
"Little girl, we are eight or nine years apart. Do you think your parents will believe you?" Chen Xing said helplessly. He knew that this little girl wouldn't bother him for a few days. Once she called, nothing good would happen. What he was afraid of really happened.
"Why not believe it? Nowadays, don't women like to find men who are older than them? Besides, how old are you? "You're just in your early thirties, and you're still a young man. Well, no, you should be a young and mature man. My parents like you. Anyway, you just need to help me fool them tomorrow, so that they won't arrange blind dates for me everywhere. I'm really fed up with it. Whether I can be free in the future depends on you. Brother Chen Xing, you must show the ability of a Best Actor tomorrow. I'm very confident in you." Song Zhi said to himself, completely unaware that Chen Xing's face on the other end of the phone was as green as a pig's liver.
"Brother Chen Xing, that's all. Wait for my call tomorrow. You must be there, or I'll come to your office every day."
Chen Xing held his mobile phone and listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone. Chen Xing didn't know what to say except to laugh and cry. He was really going crazy because of this little girl. He didn't know how he got involved with this little girl.
Putting away his mobile phone, Chen Xing thought about where to go tonight. In the end, he didn't go back to his residence. Instead, he went to Jiang Wan's single apartment. Jiang Wan was packing her luggage. It seemed that she had just come back and didn't change into her pajamas as usual. Jiang Wan obviously didn't expect that Chen Xing would come tonight. There was an indescribable surprise on her face. Chen Xing just came last night. Jiang Wan thought that Chen Xing wouldn't come tonight. After all, Chen Xing didn't come here every day.
"You're going home tomorrow. You must be very happy." Chen Xing looked at the open suitcase on the sofa. Jiang Wan was putting clothes in it. He didn't want to come tonight, but he suddenly remembered that Jiang Wan would go back to Hai City tomorrow morning, so he came. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for him to go to Jiang Wan's place every day.
"No, I still have to face that family when I go back. It's a headache." Jiang Wan shook her head gently. That family was not a reasonable person and was even more mean to her. When Jiang Wan thought of going back, she still felt a little conflicted in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't seen her family for a long time and missed her parents and brother and sister-in-law, and the main purpose of going back was to get the divorce certificate and completely free herself, Jiang Wan didn't want to go back at all.
"You have to face it eventually. When it comes to feelings, you should be together if it's compatible. If it's not compatible, you should break up and part on good terms. You don't have any feelings for your nominal husband. There isn't even a substantial relationship between you and your nominal husband. It's natural for you to ask for a divorce. If they want to deliberately make things difficult for you, you can also file a lawsuit to the court. What's there to be afraid of?" Seeing that Jiang Wan seemed to be a little worried, Chen Xing comforted her. In his heart, he had already thought of telling Fang Xiao. Fang Xiao would definitely handle everything beautifully.
"If I go to the court, I don't know how long it will take. I don't want to spend so much time in Xi Men." Jiang Wan frowned and raised her head to look at Chen Xing. Her eyes were very infatuated. "I can't bear to be separated from you for so long."
"We don't see each other every day in Nanzhou. We only see each other more often these few days." Chen Xing laughed.
"That's different. Even if we don't see each other every day, at least I know that you are also in this city. That way, I can be content in my heart." Jiang Wan curled her lips.
Listening to Jiang Wan's words, Chen Xing could only shake his head and smile bitterly. "Sometimes, a woman's thinking is incomprehensible."
"Don't worry. There's no need to file a lawsuit to the court. That would be the worst result. Don't think too much. This time, it will definitely be smooth when you go back." Chen Xing laughed.
Jiang Wan nodded in a low voice. Every time she was comforted by Chen Xing, she felt especially at ease.
"Chen Xing, I plan to bring my parents, brother, and sister-in-law to Nanzhou when I go back this time. What do you think?" Jiang Wan thought of her plan and raised her head to ask for Chen Xing's opinion.
"If you want to bring them over, just bring them over. As long as you think it's good, it's fine. Why are you asking me?" Chen Xing shook his head and laughed. "Once a woman has a man, her IQ seems to drop. This sentence seems to be true. However, Jiang Wan even asked him about this kind of thing, which also shows that Jiang Wan regards him as the backbone and is attached to him to a certain extent." Chen Xing sighed in his heart. "This is a heavy emotional debt."
"If I bring them over, this single apartment can't be lived in anymore. I have to rent another apartment with three bedrooms and one living room. Otherwise, it won't be enough and I'll have to return this one." Seeing that Chen Xing did not object, Jiang Wan's face was full of joy. She had already begun to calculate whether the apartment was big enough. With her current financial ability, renting a good apartment was no problem. It seemed that Jiang Wan's face was filled with a happy smile as she thought of the days when the family would be reunited in the future. However, the next moment, Jiang Wan's little face deflated again as if she thought of something. She muttered to herself, "No, no, I can't live with them. Otherwise …"
Jiang Wan blushed as she spoke. She was too embarrassed to continue.
Otherwise what? Chen Xing, who had been looking at Jiang Wan, asked jokingly.
"No, nothing. I mean I'll rent another apartment for my parents, brother, and sister-in-law. I'll still live in this single apartment. It's more convenient." Jiang Wan was too embarrassed to look at Chen Xing. She was thinking about living with her parents and family. It was not convenient for her to date Chen Xing. However, she was a shy person and was too embarrassed to say it out. At this time, when Chen Xing looked at her, she also blushed. She hurriedly continued to fold the clothes and put them into the suitcase one by one.
"It's not inconvenient for you to live with your parents. With your family around, they can take care of you. It should be more convenient." Chen Xing walked to Jiang Wan's side.
"I'm already an adult. I don't need them to take care of me. I can live alone." Jiang Wan blushed and turned to look at Chen Xing. "I'm reluctant to give up this apartment. It's a place to witness us being together. If possible, I want to find the landlord and buy it as a second-hand apartment. I want to live here all the time."
"Tsk tsk, Jiang Wan, you're a little rich woman now. You bought this apartment just like that. This single apartment doesn't look big. It's only about 40 square meters. But in this area, the landlord won't sell it without a million or eight hundred thousand yuan. I didn't expect you to be so rich now. It seems that I'm the only poor man left." Chen Xing joked with a smile.
"No, I'm not talking about buying it now." Jiang Wan shook her head and turned to roll her eyes at Chen Xing. She said coquettishly, "You're making fun of me again. Annoying."
…
In a newly opened clubhouse that had been open for less than a month in the downtown area of Nanzhou City, Chen Dafei was drunk and sprawled on the sofa. His two feet were straddled on the marble coffee table. It was unknown what drunken words were coming out of his mouth. He looked drunk, but also seemed to be sober.
Next to Chen Dafei sat another person. It was Deng Wenhua, the son of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary General Deng Yi. The two of them were already familiar with each other. Next to Deng Wenhua sat two girls who accompanied him to drink. They were all first-class young and beautiful girls. Deng Wenhua held one in each arm. Even when he drank, the girls next to him helped feed him.
"Dafei, if you're a man, just sit up and continue drinking. I say, you're too much. How much did you drink tonight? Get up, get up, continue drinking. The alcohol that was carried in tonight must be finished. " Deng Wenhua called out to Chen Dafei.
"No, I'm too full. My stomach is uncomfortable. It's probably full of alcohol." Chen Dafei waved his hand weakly.
"Dafei, you're too lousy. You've been bragging to me that you've drunk in all the nightclubs in Nanzhou. I don't think anyone would believe you at this level." Deng Wenhua curled his lips.
"Yes, Brother Deng is right. Brother Chen, the brothers are just starting to get excited, and you're already lying down. Boring. Your fighting strength shouldn't have been so lousy before." Another man in the room laughed.
This was the newly opened clubhouse of Deng Wenhua. Since the clubhouse opened more than a month ago, it had become a place frequented by many rich young masters and playboys in Nanzhou. Of course, there was no lack of celebrities and elites. Those who went in and out were either rich or respectable.
Deng Wenhua wanted to build a high-end clubhouse. Another meaning was to use the clubhouse as a platform to organize a network of connections. This was the real meaning of the clubhouse's existence.
Deng Wenhua did this with the support of his father, Deng Yi. It could even be said that it was Deng Yi's idea from the beginning.
However, in the clubhouse, while witnessing the glamorous side of the rich and powerful, the so-called elite and privileged class, it also witnessed their dirty and depraved side.
At this moment, the room where Deng Wenhua was in was a special room that he usually reserved for himself, for him to have fun with some of his friends in Nanzhou City. In the room, in addition to Deng Wenhua and Chen Dafei, there were also several rich young masters in Nanzhou City. There was no doubt that they were the real masters of wealthy families. If they could hang out with Deng Wenhua, they would not be able to enter Deng Wenhua's eyes at all if their family's wealth had not reached a certain level. For example, the lowest net worth rich young master in the room had a family property of hundreds of millions. This also meant that those without a family of hundreds of millions were not qualified to enter this circle.
Deng Wenhua did not necessarily have that much money, but he had something that others did not. His father was the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and had power in his hands. This was where others needed to curry favor with him, and he also needed these rich young masters to support him and then introduce them one by one. In just one month, Deng Wenhua's clubhouse had become a well-known high-end clubhouse in Nanzhou City.
This was a peace between money and power.
Chen Dafei and Deng Wenhua were similar. The Chen family was not very rich, but the Chen family was an old political family in Nanzhou City. Chen Tongjin served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for ten years. In Nanzhou City, the Chen family was a family that could not be ignored. Chen Tongjin had retired, but no one dared to underestimate the influence of the Chen family. Just based on this, Chen Dafei was also qualified to enter this circle. In fact, before Deng Wenhua came to Nanzhou, Chen Dafei was already a famous figure in the circle of young masters in Nanzhou City. And because his family was once the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Chen Dafei could often be called "Brother Chen" in the circle. In fact, many people were older than him.
Chen Dafei now looked like he was drunk. He heard a few people next to him shouting at him to get up and continue drinking, but Chen Dafei still lay there motionless, rubbing his belly with his hand. He kept saying that he couldn't drink anymore, and then he said something about how boring it was. After a while, Chen Dafei sat up like a carp. "Brother Deng, it's boring to just drink. Don't you have something exciting? Take it out for everyone to enjoy. That way, it'll be crazy and exciting."
"Brother Chen, I think you want to attract more fans." Someone laughed and teased Chen Dafei. "Didn't you say you quit a long time ago?"
"Quit my ass. Can that thing be quit so easily? With Brother Chen's willpower, if he can quit, I'll twist my head off and let him use it as a chamber pot." Someone laughed.
"Tsk, Little Xiao, I think you want to reincarnate early. Believe it or not, you'll really twist your head off and let me use it as a chamber pot." Chen Dafei laughed and scolded the person who spoke.
"Brother Chen, if you really want to drink, it's just a matter of saying the word. You just need to get some powder. You don't need Brother Deng to take it. I'll make a call later and have someone send it over." Someone said that these rich and noble young masters all had channels that ordinary people didn't have.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I have them here too." Deng Wenhua waved his hand and said casually. "If you want that thing, it's easy."
"I know Brother Deng has that good stuff." Chen Dafei said with a smile. He reached out and hugged the woman next to him. He smiled wickedly. "Later, you can also take a few bites. Let's have fun together."
"Brother Chen, I don't want to drink that." The woman said in a low voice.
"Even if you don't want to, you have to drink it. You don't give me face." Chen Dafei snorted coldly.
"That's right. Everyone has to drink tonight. Since we're out to play, we have to play to our heart's content. How can we not have some excitement?" Deng Wenhua laughed. He was in a state of excitement because of the alcohol.
… …
Around ten o 'clock in the evening, Lu Ming had already returned to his residence to wash up and rest. A phone call made Lu Ming, who was sitting on the sofa and about to take off his shoes, stop. Hearing the words of the stranger on the phone, Lu Ming frowned. "Who are you?
You don't need to know who I am. Everyone in the Blue River Club is taking drugs. I've told you this information. Whether you want to investigate it or not is up to you. " The person on the other side of the phone said and hung up.
Lu Ming looked at his phone again. When Lu Ming called the number again, he frowned and hung up the phone. The other party called from a public phone. It was useless to call again.
"Blue River Club?" Lu Ming repeated this name. He didn't know the situation of this club. He didn't have any interaction with Deng Wenhua and the others' circle. He didn't know that this club was opened by Deng Wenhua. However, the boss in name wasn't Deng Wenhua. Deng Wenhua was just hiding behind the scenes.
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Ming was puzzled by the mysterious informant. But regardless of whether the information was true or false, someone reported such information. Lu Ming obviously couldn't ignore it and pretend he didn't hear it.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ming put on his half-removed socks, got up and walked out. He was now living in the Municipal Public Security Bureau's dormitory. It was an old house from more than twenty years ago. It was next to the Municipal Bureau. It had two bedrooms and one living room. His family didn't come over. Lu Ming didn't have any requirements for a place to live. When he was transferred to the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau, there was an empty apartment here. Lu Ming directly moved in. It was close to the Municipal Bureau. Usually, he just needed to go downstairs.
