The next morning, Lu Ming came to Chen Xing's office early. Chen Xing had just arrived. Secretary Huang Jianghua was still sorting out the documents in the office. Seeing Lu Ming come so early, Chen Xing was surprised. He stood up and asked Lu Ming to sit down.
Huang Jianghua poured a glass of water for Lu Ming and left. Chen Xing looked at Lu Ming and waited for him to speak. Lu Ming came to his office so early. There must be something wrong.
Mayor, last night, I went to poke a hornet's nest. Seeing Huang Jianghua left, Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
What? Chen Xing looked at Lu Ming with doubt. Lu Ming was now the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If Lu Ming said it was a hornet's nest, it must be a big deal.
Last night, I received an anonymous call saying that some people were taking drugs in the Blue River Club. Although I felt it was a little strange, I couldn't ignore it. So, I took some people to the Blue River Club. I didn't expect that I would get into trouble. Lu Ming said what happened last night with a helpless face. I didn't know the background of the Blue River Club. Last night, when I went to investigate, I did find some people taking drugs in many private rooms. Some private rooms were involved in prostitution. But the bad thing was that the people in those private rooms were not ordinary people. After I investigated, I found out that they were in trouble. The worst thing was that Deng Wenhua was in one of the private rooms. He was the son of Secretary Chen, Secretary Chen's son, and several young men.
After Lu Ming said that, he sighed. Alas, if I had investigated the background of the Blue River Club, I would have ignored the call last night.
Who were the people in the other private rooms? Chen Xing frowned and asked.
Some are from the Organization Department, some are directly under the provincial government, and some are from the Provincial Procuratorate. Apart from our system, the people inside all seem to have a certain status and background. These people aren't in the same room, nor are they together. They're all socializing by themselves. After asking around last night, I found out that the Blue River Club has long since become the hottest high-end club in Nanzhou City in the past month. I heard that many government officials, as well as wealthy businessmen and celebrities, flock to it like ducks. Their members are mainly our Nanzhou City's political and business people. When Lu Ming said this, his face was as bitter as a gourd. If he went to investigate the Blue River Club and bumped into so many powerful people, anyone would have a headache. In this kind of situation, who would dare to investigate?
Not all the private rooms had problems, right? Chen Xing's face also became serious.
Not really, but even if they only found three or four private rooms with problems, it was enough to give them a headache. Lu Ming shook his head.
So how did you handle it last night? Chen Xing looked at Lu Ming.
I asked my men to take away some drugs at the scene and took photos for evidence. After that, I didn't dare to do anything else. I hurried to take my men and leave. Lu Ming shrugged. With the situation last night, how could he dare to arrest anyone? Taking photos for evidence was just to keep a backup plan. However, after figuring out the background of the Blue River Club, Lu Ming knew that things wouldn't end so easily. Not to mention the fact that Deng Wenhua had asked someone to pressure him to hand over the photos and the negatives, Director Liao Donghua's reaction also made him feel strange.
After listening to Lu Ming's words, Chen Xing nodded slightly. He agreed with Lu Ming's way of handling the situation. In a place like this club, the first thing that came to Chen Xing's mind was the complex network of interpersonal relationships. If what Lu Ming said was true, that the Blue River Club was full of people from the political and business world, then Lu Ming's rash action would be like poking a hornet's nest. If he arrested someone, then the trouble would be even bigger. When a huge network of relationships launched all kinds of connections to attack you, that was the most terrifying thing. By doing that, not only did Lu Ming leave some leeway, but he also left himself a backup plan. It was a wise decision.
What did you say about the background of the Blue River Club? Chen Xing raised his head and asked.
It was opened by Deng Wenhua. Although he wasn't the boss in name, he was the one who actually controlled the club. Lu Ming answered. He only knew about it last night.
Deng Wenhua again. Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. He really didn't want to hear this name.
Last night, Deng Wenhua also took drugs in the private room. At that time, the policeman who took photos was almost beaten up by them. If we didn't have so many people on our side, we probably couldn't do anything to them. Lu Ming shook his head helplessly. The police could frighten ordinary criminals, but they couldn't frighten Deng Wenhua's rich playboys with strong family backgrounds. Those people weren't afraid of them at all. The policeman who took photos was accidentally slapped by Deng Wenhua. Even his camera was almost snatched away. Fortunately, the other policemen hurried to stop Deng Wenhua.
Seeing this, the other friends of Deng Wenhua in the private room rushed over and started to fight with the policemen on the scene. Lu Ming didn't dare to let his men hit them too hard. More than ten policemen rushed into the private room and restrained several insolent young men who had taken drugs. However, they couldn't do anything to them. As for the policeman who was slapped, this matter was naturally left unsettled. There was really no way to investigate it. This matter was actually beyond the scope of Lu Ming's control. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken his men and left after taking photos. He didn't even dare to arrest anyone.
They were all lawless people. Chen Xing's face was gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Wasn't that so? But what could he do? Who asked him to have such a good father? Lu Ming shook his head.
Lu Ming, I think this matter can only end here. There is no way to investigate it further. Chen Xing was silent for a while and then said to Lu Ming. After saying such words, Chen Xing was also very helpless. Unless he wanted to fall out with Deng Yi, he had to consider the serious consequences if he continued to investigate. After all, this matter was different from the simple detention of Deng Wenhua last time and bringing him back to the Public Security Bureau to teach him a lesson. Drugs were involved. Once the investigation continued, it would not be a small matter.
In fact, Chen Xing was not afraid of Deng Yi, but he had to think of Fu Youjun who was standing behind Deng Yi. Deng Yi alone was not enough to worry about, but he had to consider Fu Youjun's attitude. When beating a dog, one should look at its master. Deng Yi was nothing, but the anger of Fu Youjun, the leader of the Provincial Party Committee, was not something that Chen Xing could easily bear. Even if he had the Zhang family as his background, Chen Xing didn't want to easily offend Fu Youjun. Even if he could stand on the right side of this matter, if he really punished Deng Yi, how would Fu Youjun think of him? At that time, even if Fu Youjun couldn't do anything to him, he would definitely lose his foothold in the South Sea.
I know. Last night, I thought of the possible consequences. That's why I hurried to leave with my men. Lu Ming nodded. He was not a brainless person. How could he not know the importance of this matter? Now he came to Chen Xing's place to talk about this matter with Chen Xing, so that Chen Xing would have a plan in case someone made a fuss about this matter in the future and Chen Xing would not know anything.
Thinking of Liao Donghua's strange attitude, Lu Ming was a little worried. Mayor, Director Liao's attitude towards this matter is a little strange. I'm a little worried that there will be more problems.
Liao Donghua? Chen Xing's expression froze. Liao Donghua came from the Provincial government's Supervisory Office. In terms of Liao Donghua's background, he was also a local cadre. Moreover, he came from the Provincial government. Blue River Club was opened by Deng Wenhua. Although investigating this matter could hit Deng Yi, the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, to a certain extent, Liao Donghua wouldn't be so irrational to anger Deng Yi, would he? Unless the person behind Liao Donghua gave an order, Liao Donghua wouldn't act rashly in this matter.
Chen Xing fell into a short silence. Lu Ming didn't say anything either. He was still thinking about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the anonymous phone call last night was very strange. The other party knew his number and directly called his mobile phone, which in itself showed that something was wrong. However, he didn't need to tell these doubts to Chen Xing for now. It wouldn't be too late to tell Chen Xing after he found some clues. At present, Lu Ming didn't dare to investigate Blue River Club anymore. However, regarding the anonymous phone call last night, Lu Ming gnashed his teeth. If it was really done by someone with ulterior motives, Lu Ming would definitely dig this person out.
Both of them fell into silence. At this time, Huang Jianghua knocked on the door and came in, reminding Chen Xing that he was going to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the new laboratory building of the No. 1 Middle School.
Mayor, I'll go first. I'll pay more attention to this matter. Hearing that Chen Xing had to go out later, Lu Ming stood up.
Well, you go first. It'd be best if there's no disturbance after this matter. If there's any movement, just let me know. Chen Xing nodded.
Lu Ming nodded. Before leaving, he remembered that Deng Wenhua wanted to find someone to get back the photos and negatives taken last night. He couldn't help but ask for Chen Xing's opinion. Mayor, do you think those photos can be returned to Deng Wenhua?
If you want to give them back, just give them back. Chen Xing glanced at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming understood and then left Chen Xing's office.
Provincial government, Secretary General Liao Quanjin's office.
At this time, Liao Donghua came to Liao Quanjin's office. In front of others, Liao Donghua would respectfully call Liao Quanjin Secretary General Liao, but when no one was around, Liao Donghua would call him Brother Liao. The two were relatives of the same clan, so their relationship could be imagined. Without Liao Quanjin, when the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Nanzhou City was vacant, Liao Donghua, the Deputy Director of the Inspection Office, would not have had a chance. At that time, the Director of the Inspection Office, Wang Tao, also coveted that position, but in the end, it fell to Liao Donghua.
At this time, Liao Donghua whispered something in Liao Quanjin's ear. After that, Liao Donghua stood aside respectfully, as if waiting for Liao Quanjin to make a decision.
It's not that I can't make use of him, but I have to control the extent, lest I go for wool and come home shorn. Liao Quanjin said after a moment of contemplation.
Brother Liao, I know. There was a hint of joy in Liao Donghua's eyes. When Liao Quanjin said this, it meant that he had agreed. Liao Donghua knew what to do and felt more confident. As long as he had Liao Quanjin's support, he didn't need to worry too much about Secretary General Deng of the Provincial Party Committee. Of course, he didn't want to make trouble for Secretary General Deng. He was just a Deputy Director, and he didn't have the guts to do so. It was just that the hornet's nest had been poked by Lu Ming, and Liao Donghua wanted to do something about it.
Liao Quanjin nodded calmly. As the Secretary General of the Provincial government and the Governor's assistant, he was also a real deputy provincial cadre. However, compared to Deng Yi of the Provincial Party Committee, he was still a little inferior. They didn't have any conflicts, but they had their own masters. Shun Baolai and Fu Youjun represented the local power and the foreign power. They seemed to have a good relationship with each other, but in the dark, they had many conflicts. Liao Quanjin's role in the Provincial government was the same as Deng Yi's role in the Provincial Party Committee. If there was a chance to stab Deng Yi in the back, Liao Quanjin wouldn't miss it. This was the nature of officialdom, the cruel reality. You don't mess with others, but it doesn't mean others won't mess with you.
After Liao Donghua got Liao Quanjin's permission, he hurried to make arrangements, but was stopped by Liao Quanjin. "Donghua, what's going on between you and Ge Jian-ming?
Brother Liao, it's nothing. He and I are just using each other. It's not like what people say. " Liao Donghua hurriedly explained. He knew that Liao Quanjin was talking about the tacit cooperation between him and Ge Jian-ming at the Municipal Party Committee. He was able to be the Director of the Municipal Bureau, which undoubtedly meant that he had reached some kind of agreement with Ge Jian-ming. There were even some rumors outside, saying that he had turned to Ge Jian-ming's side. Liao Donghua had wanted to take the initiative to mention this to Liao Quanjin, but then he thought it was unnecessary.
Thinking about it, Liao Quanjin wouldn't be confused by those rumors. Moreover, he was promoted by Liao Quanjin. As long as Liao Quanjin was still there, he wouldn't dare to change his side, which was equivalent to seeking his own death. Liao Donghua felt that Liao Quanjin must have seen all these clearly, so there was no need to explain. Therefore, he didn't mention this to Liao Quanjin, not expecting Liao Quanjin to ask about it now.
Using each other? Liao Quanjin looked at Liao Donghua with a faint smile. His eyes seemed to be admiring, but also vigilant. He didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and let Liao Donghua leave.
After Liao Donghua left, Liao Quanjin sat quietly in the office for a while. After a while, he stood up and walked a few steps, walking in circles with his hands behind his back. After about ten minutes, Liao Quanjin stopped, walked out of the office, and walked to the office of the Governor Shun Baolai.
Nanzhou City No. 1 High School was the school with the longest history in Nanzhou City. Tracing back to the year when the school was founded, Nanzhou City No. 1 High School had a history of nearly a hundred years. However, it wasn't called Nanzhou No. 1 High School before, but Huayuan High School. When it was first established, it was called Huayuan School, which was already nearly a hundred years ago. After the founding of the People's Republic, Huayuan School was changed to Huayuan High School. During that period of turmoil, it was temporarily suspended. It wasn't until after the turmoil that teaching order was restored. More than a decade ago, Huayuan High School was renamed Nanzhou City No. 1 High School, representing the highest school in Nanzhou City. Who knew how many top students from Tsinghua University and Peking University were born here every year.
The entire school was antique, with towering trees everywhere. Walking in the school, rather than saying you were in a school, it was better to say you were in a green oxygen bar. Ever since Chen Xing took office, he hadn't visited Nanzhou City No. 1 High School. This time, Nanzhou City No. 1 High School invited Chen Xing to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new laboratory building, and Chen Xing gladly agreed.
Accompanying Chen Xing were Zeng Gaoqiang, the Deputy Mayor in charge of science, education, culture, and public health; Jiang Bingxuan, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government; Xiao Yuanqing, the Director of the Municipal Government; Ma Chaoan, the Director of the Municipal Education Bureau; Pan Jinbu, the Deputy Director; Yang Hong, the Deputy Director. At the same time, Kang Jicheng, the Deputy Director of the Provincial Education Bureau, also attended today's groundbreaking ceremony.
The fact that so many leaders were invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new laboratory building of the No. 1 High School undoubtedly showed that the No. 1 High School had a special status in the education world of Nanzhou City. This school had also trained national leaders, and there was no lack of provincial and ministerial officials. Its glorious history had established its status. Even Ma Chaoan, the Director of the Education Bureau, had to treat the principal of the No. 1 High School with respect.
The groundbreaking ceremony was the same old routine of leaders giving speeches, students applauding, and then the leaders symbolically scooping up a handful of soil with a shovel. It didn't have much meaning.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, it was time to tour the No. 1 High School. Most of the leaders present were mainly in charge of education. In fact, they had been to the No. 1 High School many times and were very familiar with the No. 1 High School. Only Chen Xing, the Mayor, was here for the first time. At this moment, Chen Xing was looking around the school with great interest. Naturally, the others could only accompany him with smiles on their faces.
Zeng Gaoqiang, the Deputy Mayor, was following behind Chen Xing. His expression was calm, and from time to time, he would reveal a trace of a smile, as if nothing had happened last night. Chen Xing's gaze occasionally swept over Zeng Gaoqiang's face. He couldn't help but admire Zeng Gaoqiang's ability. Zeng Gaoqiang's expression last night was still fresh in Chen Xing's mind.
Just glancing at Zeng Gaoqiang, Chen Xing didn't waste too much attention on Zeng Gaoqiang. The No. 1 High School had a long and glorious history. Chen Xing, who was visiting for the first time, was really interested in it.
In the No. 1 High School's magnificent school history exhibition hall, Chen Xing listened to Wu Deyi, the principal of the No. 1 High School. He nodded from time to time. This school had once produced a national leader, a deputy premier who retired more than ten years ago. He was still alive. In this school history exhibition hall, there were precious old photos of the deputy premier visiting his alma mater. As the current Mayor of Nanzhou City, Chen Xing couldn't help but say some flattering words to that old leader. Although the other party might not be able to hear it, Chen Xing definitely had to say it. This was a necessary gesture.
As Chen Xing walked in front, Kang Jicheng, the Deputy Director of the Provincial Department, who was walking beside Chen Xing, purposely a few steps behind him. From time to time, he would sneer. His gaze kept wandering between Chen Xing and Yang Hong. Today, Yang Hong was still wearing a suit and skirt with flesh-colored stockings. This seemed to be Yang Hong's normal attire. When Kang Jicheng looked at Yang Hong, his gaze would inadvertently reveal a kind of crazed expression, but it would be instantly concealed. This was a public place with so many people present, so Kang Jicheng didn't dare to let others notice anything amiss.
However, in his heart, Kang Jicheng had lost count of how many times he had called Yang Hong a "b * tch." Yang Hong, who had rejected him time and time again, became a hypocrite in Kang Jicheng's eyes. If he hadn't discovered that Yang Hong had an affair with Chen Xing, Kang Jicheng would have thought that Yang Hong was a strong and unyielding woman. He didn't expect that she wasn't a good person.
Kang Jicheng was extremely dissatisfied. After that day, every time he thought about it, he would regret it. He had already drugged Yang Hong, and Yang Hong said she wanted to go to the toilet. How could he not be more careful? If he had been more careful, he would have gotten Yang Hong by now. Kang Jicheng was truly depressed. If he hadn't let Yang Hong go to the toilet that time, wouldn't this woman be his now?
If Yang Hong and Chen Xing had been in a relationship for a long time, Kang Jicheng wouldn't have been so angry. The key was that Chen Xing had only been in Nanzhou for a few months, and he had long revealed his feelings towards Yang Hong. He had also repeatedly hinted at it, but Yang Hong remained indifferent. Otherwise, Kang Jicheng wouldn't have resorted to such underhanded methods. He didn't expect that even after using underhanded methods, he still couldn't get her. Yang Hong had another affair with Chen Xing. How could Kang Jicheng not be angry? In Kang Jicheng's eyes, Chen Xing had undoubtedly stolen the woman he had set his eyes on.
Of course, Kang Jicheng didn't dare to reveal his thoughts in front of Chen Xing. He didn't know if Yang Hong had mentioned to Chen Xing that she was drugged by him. In any case, Kang Jicheng was extremely cautious in front of Chen Xing, and maintained a respectful and polite attitude towards Chen Xing. He was from the Provincial Department, so he didn't need to be too afraid of Chen Xing. However, Kang Jicheng still didn't dare to offend Chen Xing. Now that he was in the same place as Chen Xing and Yang Hong, Kang Jicheng tried his best to make himself inconspicuous. Today's protagonist was Chen Xing, so there was no need for him to stand in front.
In the morning, after attending the groundbreaking ceremony and visiting the First Middle School, it was already past ten o 'clock. Chen Xing returned to the Municipal Government and stayed for a while before leaving. Song Zhi's phone was like a death knell, ringing non-stop. Chen Xing had to think of something. If he didn't answer the phone, Chen Xing believed that Song Zhi would directly rush to the Municipal Government and drag him over.
As for the matter of pretending to be Song Zhi's boyfriend to meet Song Zhi's parents at noon, Chen Xing felt that it was ridiculous. However, Song Zhi was giving him a headache. Chen Xing was really forced to do something beyond his abilities.
Song Zhi's parents were staying at the Nanzhou Hotel. Song Zhi called Chen Xing and told him which private room they were in. When Chen Xing arrived at the hotel, he went straight to the private room.
In the private room, Song Zhi was holding a middle-aged woman's arm and talking to her intimately. After Chen Xing knocked on the door, Song Zhi shouted to come in carelessly. He didn't open the door for Chen Xing, but let Chen Xing come in by himself.
As soon as Chen Xing entered the room, he looked around. Besides Song Zhi, there was a middle-aged man and a woman. Seeing the middle-aged woman who was holding Song Zhi's arm, Chen Xing thought to himself, "They look alike. Without a doubt, she must be Song Zhi's mother. She took good care of herself, so they sat together like sisters."
"Dad, Mom, this is my boyfriend." At this time, Song Zhi stood up, walked to Chen Xing, and held Chen Xing's hand in front of his parents. Although Chen Xing was experienced in all kinds of situations, he was still embarrassed. Last time, he pretended to be Chen Xing's boyfriend in front of Song Zhi's blind date. This time, he was in front of Song Zhi's parents. Being held by Song Zhi like this, Chen Xing felt uncomfortable and guilty.
"Well, he looks handsome. Not bad." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Xing up and down with a smile on his face.
"Dad, I have a good taste, right? He's much better than those crooked guys you introduced to me." Hearing his father's praise, Song Zhi raised his face high and was very proud. It was as if Chen Xing was a real boyfriend and girlfriend. He held Chen Xing's hand and walked to his parents intimately, introducing his parents to Chen Xing. "Chen Xing, this is my dad, and this is my mom."
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." After Song Zhi finished the introduction, Chen Xing also forced himself to greet them. He glanced at Song Zhi, who was immersed in the performance, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He had been tortured by this little girl. As a mayor, he had been dragged here to pretend to be Chen Xing's boyfriend.
"Dad, Mom, you can call him Chen Xing." At this time, Song Zhi said Chen Xing's name to his parents.
After Song Zhi finished speaking, Song Zhi's mother asked, "Chen Xing, how long have you been dating our Chen Xing?"
"Well … for a while." Chen Xing's expression was slightly unnatural.
"Oh, how long is a while?" Song Zhi's mother looked at Chen Xing up and down, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. She examined Chen Xing and asked.
"Mom, what are you doing? Checking my household registration as soon as you come? Aren't you afraid of scaring Chen Xing?" Song Zhi returned to her mother's side with a cheeky smile. She could see that Chen Xing couldn't handle this kind of situation, so she hurriedly stopped her mother from asking any more questions, for fear that they would be exposed. In fact, she didn't have Chen Xing's "confession" in advance. If her parents kept asking, they would really be exposed.
"He is your boyfriend and is more likely to be my future son-in-law. Can't I ask more questions?" Song Zhi's mother rolled her eyes at her daughter and said angrily. The way she looked at her daughter was more doting.
"Alright, Xuan Ming, stop fooling around with Chen Xing." Song Zhi's father stood up and looked more serious. He looked at Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Mayor Chen, please take a seat. Otherwise, we can't afford to neglect you."
As soon as Song Zhi's father said these words, Chen Xing was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and rolled his eyes. Song Zhi, who was still trying her best to act, was even more stunned. Then she pursed her lips and lowered her head weakly. It turned out that Chen Xing had been exposed before he came. Her parents already knew about it. She even made it sound so convincing just now.
"Dad, Mom, how do you know Chen Xing's identity?" Song Zhi looked at her parents confusedly.
"How else could we know? You've made fun of Zheng Jinshi like that. Do you think we don't know? As soon as he returned home, he went to our house to complain. He even angrily said that our family was insincere and scolded your father. Song Zhi's father shook his head and smiled. "Dad, I was implicated because of you. I was scolded so badly that my face was covered with saliva, but I didn't dare to refute. This time, we indirectly offended the Zheng family. Their father is the deputy mayor. If they cause trouble for us, it will be a headache."
"So it was Zheng Jinshi, that idiot. Bastard, I was wondering how you two knew about it." Song Zhi's eyes widened. She thought that Zheng Jinshi might have accidentally found out about Chen Xing's identity. That was why he went back to tell his parents. After saying this, Song Zhi quickly stood up and slammed the table angrily. "Dad, that bastard dared to scold you? Next time I go back, I will go to his house and scold him. I will scold his father as well. No matter how he scolded you, I will scold him back ten times. "
"Look at you. What are you doing? Do you still look like a girl?" Song Zhi's father looked at his daughter who slammed the table, swung her arms, and rolled up her sleeves. She looked like a tomboy. He smiled bitterly. He didn't know how they had raised their daughter to be like this. Since young, they had raised her to be a lady from a respectable family. How did she become like this? Song Zhi's father frowned and shook his head from time to time. His expression showed that he was in a dilemma.
"Little Zhi, sit down. A girl should act like a girl and be more ladylike. If you act like this, who would dare to marry you in the future?" Song Zhi's mother also spoke. The expression on her face was not much different from her husband's. She had a headache for her precious daughter. Her daughter was not as spoiled as other children from rich families, so she didn't have too many bad habits of arrogance. This made the husband and wife very gratified. However, they couldn't do anything about their daughter's temperament.
Chen Xing looked at Song Zhi's parents reprimanding Song Zhi and felt extremely comfortable. He couldn't help but smile. This little girl finally had someone to discipline.
Song Zhi's father only reprimanded his daughter, then looked at Chen Xing with an apologetic expression. "Mayor Chen, I've let you see a joke. I don't know if my Little Zhi has caused trouble for you in Nanzhou. If she has, I apologize on behalf of my Little Zhi."
"No, Uncle, please don't say that. Actually, this little girl Song Zhi is also very sensible." Chen Xing saw that Song Zhi's father was speaking seriously and hurriedly said with a smile. He even subconsciously put in good words for Song Zhi. As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Xing rolled his eyes. This little girl had tormented him countless times, yet he could still put in good words for her.
"Dad, did you hear that? I'm very obedient and sensible. Who told you that I only cause trouble?" When Song Zhi heard Chen Xing putting in good words for her, she immediately became confident.
"Sit down quietly. How can a child like you interrupt when the adults are talking?" Song Zhi's father scolded with a stern expression.
"Who said she was a child? If she was really a child, would you arrange for a child to go on a blind date?" Song Zhi sat down unwillingly and muttered.
"This child, how can you say that?" Song Zhi's mother looked at her daughter, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Not letting her daughter speak any more nonsense, Song Zhi's parents looked at Chen Xing without batting an eyelid and exchanged glances. They heard Song Zhi's father say, "Mayor Chen, how did you get to know our Little Zhi? To be honest, Little Zhi's mother and I are very curious. We don't know how our Little Zhi got to know a noble person like you.
I used to work in the capital and lived next to your Little Zhi's single apartment, so we got to know each other. " Chen Xing explained with a smile.
Oh, so it's like this. You're the family next door. My wife and I have also gone to the capital to visit Song Zhi several times. Every time, we saw the door of the house next door was closed. We thought that there was no one living there. We didn't expect that it was Mayor Chen's house. Song Zhi's father came to a realization. He exchanged glances with his wife and both of them heaved a sigh of relief. However, there was still some worry in their eyes. Other than not knowing how their daughter got to know Chen Xing, they were even more doubtful about the relationship between their daughter and Chen Xing. From the looks of it, their daughter seemed to be very close to Chen Xing.
However, as far as they knew, Chen Xing already had a family. Not only did their daughter keep saying that Chen Xing was her boyfriend, but she also refused to introduce a boyfriend to them. Every time they talked about this, her daughter was very resistant. Now that Chen Xing was in front of them, a dignified mayor was willing to be asked by her daughter to pretend to be her boyfriend. What was the relationship between them? Could it be that their daughter had really become Chen Xing's lover? This was what the husband and wife were most worried about, but they certainly couldn't ask this question. At the moment, they first confirmed how Chen Xing and their daughter got to know each other. After hearing the reason, they were a little relieved. However, they could only ask their daughter in private.
Chen Xing looked at the expression of Song Zhi's parents and thought for a while. Then he immediately understood that he had probably caused some misunderstanding between them. He smiled and said, "Uncle, Auntie, today I was asked by Song Zhi to pretend to be her boyfriend. Song Zhi said that this was the only way for you to stop arranging blind dates for him. I was also tortured by this little girl. Now that you know the truth, it seems that I don't have to pretend to be her boyfriend anymore. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Uncle and Auntie, stay in Nanzhou for a few more days. In these two days, I'll find a chance to accompany you to tour Nanzhou.
Mayor Chen, you're not staying for lunch? Song Zhi's father didn't expect that Chen Xing would suddenly leave. He was stunned.
No, I still have something to do. If it weren't for Song Zhi, I'm afraid I wouldn't be sitting here at noon. Chen Xing smiled. Looking at Song Zhi's parents, he was afraid that they had a lot to ask Song Zhi. He'd better leave first.
I knew that this little girl would cause trouble. It seems that she has been bothering Mayor Chen a lot. Hearing Chen Xing's words, Song Zhi's father smiled bitterly. He continued to urge Chen Xing to stay for lunch before leaving.
In the end, Chen Xing insisted on leaving. There was plenty of time for lunch. He was embarrassed to stay, so he asked Song Zhi to explain things to his parents so that he wouldn't bear the name of being wronged again.
Leaving from the hotel
Chen Xing was driving by himself. He wondered if he should return to the Municipal Government or go somewhere else. This afternoon, he didn't bring his chauffeur with him. He drove by himself.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing picked up his phone and found a text message. It was a message from Yang Hong near noon. At that time, Chen Xing didn't pay attention to it. Now that he was out, Chen Xing decided to go. After writing down the hotel and room number in the message, Chen Xing deleted the message. Then, he went to an inconspicuous hotel in the city. After parking the car, Chen Xing quickly walked into the hotel.
When Chen Xing walked into the hotel, he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from the hotel's parking lot. When Chen Xing saw Chen Xing, the owner of the eyes was very excited. He picked up a small backpack from the passenger seat. It was a camera that he had prepared beforehand. Then, he followed Chen Xing into the hotel.
Damn it, I, a deputy director, had to follow someone. Luckily, I got something. Otherwise, all my hard work would have been in vain. The person following Chen Xing cursed in his heart. His identity was obvious. He was Kang Jicheng from the Provincial Education Department. During this period, he had taken on a part-time job as a detective. Whenever he had time, he would follow Yang Hong. He had been following her for a few days, and today, he finally got something. Kang Jicheng only dared to follow Yang Hong.
He didn't dare to follow Chen Xing. There was no other reason. Chen Xing was the mayor and had a full-time chauffeur. Most of the chauffeurs were picked from the Armed Police Force. Although they might not be very good at anti-reconnaissance, Kang Jicheng was not good at following people. He didn't know many tricks. He was afraid of being discovered by Chen Xing's chauffeur, so he could only choose to follow Yang Hong. Kang Jicheng believed that as long as he kept an eye on Yang Hong, he would be able to catch her together with Chen Xing sooner or later.
