Only after boarding the plane did Chen Xing realize that there was someone else on board. It seemed like he wasn't the only one on this military plane heading to the capital. The other party's back was facing the cabin door, and he was seated near the window. Chen Xing could only see his back. His hair was white, and he looked like an old man. This was Chen Xing's first impression of him. However, what attracted Chen Xing's attention was the dazzling little gold stars on the old man's military uniform. The three little gold stars represented the old man's noble and illustrious status.
Chen Xing's expression turned solemn. The rank of General was the highest military rank in the Republic.
He wasn't sure of the old man's identity, but since he was on this military plane, and they were in the Yang Cheng military district, Chen Xing could guess who he was. Without thinking too much, Chen Xing walked towards his seat, not daring to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing the old man. No one would dare to offend an old man with the rank of General.
When he walked to the table and saw the old man's face, Chen Xing realized that his impression of him from the back was a little off. Although the old man had a head full of white hair, he wasn't as old as he had imagined. Looking at his face, the old man should be in his fifties. He still looked young, but his hair was a little whiter.
Mayor Chen, you're here. Please take a seat. The old man smiled and nodded at Chen Xing. However, behind the smile, his expression was solemn, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Chen Xing nodded, his face solemn. He wasn't too sure when he saw the old man's back, but now he could tell who he was. The commander of the Yang Cheng military district, General Cai Zhiyuan. He was one of the most famous generals in the Republic's military. Apart from his head full of white hair, he didn't look old, but Chen Xing knew that Cai Zhiyuan was already over 60 years old. He was an experienced senior in the military, and in the eyes of the foreign media, he was the representative of the military's hawks.
Mayor Chen, please have some water. Someone poured a glass of water for Chen Xing. At this time, Chen Xing also noticed that there was another person in the cabin besides Cai Zhiyuan. It was also a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel. After the middle-aged man put the glass of water in the water, he walked to the front of the cabin and sat down. Because of the angle of view in the cabin, if one didn't pay attention, he wouldn't be able to see that there was another person sitting in the front.
Chen Xing did not sit down immediately. Instead, he greeted him respectfully, "Commander Cai."
Take a seat, there are no outsiders here. Cai Zhiyuan smiled.
Only then did Chen Xing sit down. Because he was not familiar with Cai Zhiyuan and knew little about this military hardliner in the eyes of the outside world, Chen Xing was extremely cautious and did not speak much. In addition, he was still worried about Mr. Zhang, so Chen Xing was not in the mood to speak at this time.
Chen Xing did not speak, and Cai Zhiyuan was also relatively silent. From time to time, he frowned, as if he had something on his mind. The serious expression on his face did not show any signs of relief.
The plane took off, pierced through the sky, and rushed into the clouds. The earth was getting farther and farther away from the ground. Looking down from above, all living things were so small.
From time to time, Chen Xing raised his hand to look at the time, looking very worried. It took more than two hours to fly from Yang Cheng to the capital. During these two hours, he could not receive any news from the ground, so he could not know Mr. Zhang's condition after being sent to the hospital.
Occasionally, Chen Xing glanced at Cai Zhiyuan, who was sitting opposite him. He did not know whether this prominent military figure was also going to the capital, or whether he had the same purpose as him, rushing to the capital because of Mr. Zhang's matter.
However, Chen Xing did not dare to ask casually. It was better to be careful with his words and actions. If he did not understand something, he would not ask randomly.
The cabin was very quiet. Cai Zhiyuan turned his head and looked out of the window. After a long time, he turned back and said to Chen Xing, "Mayor Chen is going to Yang Cheng to attract investment in the next two days?
Yes, Yang Cheng is the frontline of the reform and opening up. The private economy here is very developed, and private capital is also very active. We also hope to attract more private capital to invest in Nanzhou. Said Chen Xing.
Cai Zhiyuan nodded. He was a military figure, so he did not care much about local affairs. At this time, the cabin was too quiet, and Chen Xing was quite reserved, so he took the initiative to ask.
Cai Zhiyuan started the conversation first, and Chen Xing also chatted with Cai Zhiyuan for a while. The atmosphere was not as silent as before. Chen Xing saw that this famous military figure in front of him was not as serious and unsmiling as he had imagined, so he relaxed a little.
The middle-aged colonel sitting at the front of the cabin seemed to have been using the special equipment on the military plane to keep in touch with the ground. Chen Xing did not know if the middle-aged colonel had received any information from the ground. The colonel walked to Cai Zhiyuan's side and whispered something in his ear. Cai Zhiyuan's expression relaxed a little, and he looked a little happy.
The middle-aged colonel quickly walked away. Cai Zhiyuan's expression returned to normal, but he did not look as serious as before. He turned his head and looked at Chen Xing. Cai Zhiyuan said, "Just now, there was news from 301 Hospital. Mr. Zhang's condition is stable, so there is no need to worry too much. Did Mayor Chen feel relieved when he heard this news?
Oh, really? Chen Xing's face lit up. As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Cai Zhiyuan looking at him with a smile. Chen Xing also smiled awkwardly. Who was Cai Zhiyuan, he would not joke about this kind of thing.
The good news brought by Cai Zhiyuan diluted a lot of Chen Xing's worries. However, the next moment, Chen Xing couldn't help but look at Cai Zhiyuan again. Cai Zhiyuan took the initiative to mention this news to him. Could it be that Cai Zhiyuan had the same purpose as him?
Chen Xing's eyes stayed on Cai Zhiyuan for a while, and then he quickly left. Cai Zhiyuan did not want to say anything, so Chen Xing did not dare to test him. If Cai Zhiyuan did not belong to the Zhang family's camp, it would be too presumptuous of him to say anything. However, after thinking carefully about the changes in Cai Zhiyuan's expression after hearing the report from the colonel, Chen Xing had some guesses. Even if Cai Zhiyuan did not belong to the Zhang family's camp, he should not be hostile to the Zhang family. Judging from Cai Zhiyuan's expression just now, Cai Zhiyuan did not want Mr. Zhang to die early. If Mr. Zhang was from the Zhang family's camp, he might not be hostile to the Zhang family.
Mr. Zhang was more than 90 years old this year. After another moment of silence, Cai Zhiyuan suddenly sighed with emotion.
He was more than 90 years old. Just after the New Year, he was one year older. Chen Xing nodded and said.
"Yes, he is one year older. I think Mr. Zhang is getting stronger as he gets older. Even the King of Hell would not dare to take him in easily. I believe that he can overcome this hurdle." Cai Zhiyuan said calmly.
"I hope that with Commander Cai's blessing, Mr. Zhang can always be safe." Chen Xing said solemnly. He observed Cai Zhiyuan calmly and wondered if Cai Zhiyuan really belonged to the Zhang family. But Cai Zhiyuan didn't seem to be one.
After saying this, Cai Zhiyuan became silent again. Chen Xing also kept quiet sensibly.
Time passed quickly on the plane. Although Chen Xing didn't communicate much with Cai Zhiyuan, they only said a few words occasionally, and the atmosphere was more quiet and silent, Chen Xing didn't feel that time passed slowly. Perhaps hearing the news that Mr. Zhang's condition was temporarily stable, Chen Xing's nerves were no longer tense, and he was a little relieved.
The plane landed at the airport of the military region of the capital. Cai Zhiyuan also got off the plane, but he didn't intend to go to the hospital. The military region arranged for two special cars. One was prepared for Chen Xing. Cai Zhiyuan just nodded slightly to Chen Xing as a farewell, and then got on the other car, heading in the opposite direction from Chen Xing.
Sitting in the car, Chen Xing was not in the mood to guess whether Cai Zhiyuan came to the capital for business or something else. The first thing Chen Xing did after getting on the car was to call his wife, Zhang Ningning, and ask how Mr. Zhang was doing. Because Chen Xing had learned in time that Mr. Zhang's condition was temporarily stable on the plane, Chen Xing was not too worried at this time.
Zhang Ningning's mood was much more stable than when she first called Chen Xing, but she still seemed very depressed. Chen Xing could tell that his wife was still worried about Mr. Zhang's health. After all, Mr. Zhang was an old man in his eighties. Even if he was not sick or injured, the natural aging of his body was a cruel fact that people had to face. Aging was a life process that people couldn't stop. From birth to old age, people had to experience death.
They couldn't talk too much over the phone. The car was arranged by the capital military, and the driver was also from the capital military. Chen Xing didn't want to talk too much with his wife over the phone. He still had the vigilance to be careful of the eavesdroppers. The internal situation of the military was no less complicated than that of the local military.
After arriving at 301 Hospital, Chen Xing also felt an unusually tense atmosphere. The few small buildings behind the main ward were heavily guarded, and they were all guarded by soldiers with live ammunition. Vehicles entering and exiting the building had to go through strict checks. Not everyone was allowed to enter and exit as they pleased.
Zhang Ningning walked outside to pick up Chen Xing, and then Chen Xing was allowed to go in. In a small building of a villa, medical staff in white coats came in and out from time to time. The core members of the Zhang family had already gathered together, so only a few people could enter the ward. If everyone went into the ward noisily, it would affect Mr. Zhang's rest, so most of them could only wait outside. Everyone looked worried. Although Mr. Zhang's condition was temporarily stable, it didn't mean that he was completely fine.
Everyone here was now prominent in the outside world. Wherever they went, people would flatter them, even if they were just a collateral descendant of the Zhang family. And this was all because of Old Master Zhang who was still alive and the current power of the Zhang family. If Old Master Zhang fell, the Zhang family as the core of the Zhang family would not fall apart, but it would not be as good as before. This was what no one wanted to see. However, everyone knew that with Old Master Zhang's advanced age, this day would come sooner or later, but no one was willing to think about it and face it before. Today, Old Master Zhang coughed up blood and fainted, which finally made people feel scared and frightened. They didn't know what the Zhang family would do if Old Master Zhang, the pillar of the Zhang family, really fell down.
After Chen Xing arrived, he walked in with Zhang Ningning and learned more details about the situation. The person who personally examined Mr. Zhang was the director of the General Military Medical Hospital. The results of the examination showed that Mr. Zhang did not have any serious illnesses. Apart from some chronic illnesses, such as rheumatism, the old man did not have any new illnesses. This time, Mr. Zhang coughed up blood because his lungs had been damaged after coughing for a long time. In addition, Mr. Zhang was old and his body was aging, and he had coughed more severely than usual these few days, so he suddenly fainted because he did not rest well.
However, although the examination did not reveal any serious illnesses, from the tone of the doctor, it did not seem too optimistic. Mr. Zhang's cough seemed to be just a normal cough. For young people, it might be able to recover through the body's immune system, but for an old man in his nineties like Mr. Zhang, it was impossible for him to recover on his own. Moreover, the cough could not be neglected. If it got serious, it could cause acute respiratory failure or even myocardial infarction. This was the most worrying thing. The other news that the doctor mentioned was that Mr. Zhang's current heart and lungs were very weak. This was very disadvantageous for Mr. Zhang, and this news made everyone's mood even heavier. Mr. Zhang's condition was stable now, but everyone was worried that something would suddenly happen.
Grandpa had only caught a cold before the New Year, and he had recovered from the cold. However, this cough had not improved, and the examination did not reveal any problems. Who would have thought that it would become so serious now? Zhang Ningning held Chen Xing's hand with a sorrowful expression.
Ningning, don't worry, Mr. Zhang is blessed by the heavens. He will definitely be fine. He is just old, and his body's immune system is not as good as young people. That's why he is like this. It's not a serious illness, don't worry too much. Chen Xing comforted his wife. As he spoke, his brother-in-law, Zhang Yi, also walked towards him.
Chen Xing, you rushed here from Yangcheng? Zhang Yi looked at Chen Xing.
Yes, he went to Yangcheng to attract investors. Chen Xing nodded. Oh right, on the private plane I took just now, Commander Cai Zhiyuan of the Yangcheng military was also there. He also came to Beijing, but I don't know what he's here for.
Is that so? Zhang Yi was stunned, then shook his head. I don't know much about the big shots in the military. I'll have to ask Brother Guodong about this.
Chen Xing nodded in agreement. After all, Xiao Guodong's father was the second-in-command in the military. Xiao Guodong would know more about the military than an outsider. After scanning for a while, Chen Xing didn't see Xiao Guodong. Why didn't I see Brother Guodong?
He is overseas, attending an international nuclear technology application and development conference. I called him, he will be back soon. Zhang Yi said, his expression was also gloomy.
Oh. Chen Xing nodded. No wonder he didn't see Xiao Guodong.
After the two finished speaking, they didn't know what to say. Their gazes towards the ward were filled with worry. Everyone present had the same expression.
After asking around, Chen Xing found out that there were only elders like Zhang Guozhong, Zhang Guohua, and Xiao Dingping in the ward. If Mr. Zhang really left, they could represent the core of the Zhang family. It was normal for them to stay by the bed.
After waiting outside for more than half an hour, Chen Xing saw Xiao Dingping leave in a hurry. He didn't speak to the other juniors and left the ward directly.
After a while, Zhang Guohua, Chen Xing's father-in-law, also came out. Zhang Guohua arrived more than 20 minutes earlier than Chen Xing. He took a military plane from Jianghai Province. Undoubtedly, only Xiao Dingping, the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, could coordinate and mobilize a military plane. Otherwise, even if Zhang Guohua was promoted to the top leader of Jianghai Province, he still wouldn't be qualified to take a military plane, let alone Chen Xing. At this critical moment, Xiao Dingping used a little private power, but at this time, no one would jump out to criticize him.
Looking at the exhausted expression of his father-in-law, Zhang Guohua, Chen Xing heaved a sigh of relief. The old master's health was like a huge rock weighing on the hearts of everyone in the Zhang family. Now that the two local and provincial meetings had come to an end, the curtains of the national and provincial meetings were just about to begin. This time, it might involve some central ministries and departments as well as higher-level leaders, attracting everyone's attention. For the old master to collapse at this moment, it was undoubtedly a bad timing. One could well imagine Zhang Guohua's mood. He was the core member of the third generation that the Zhang family wanted to nurture, and he was even pushed to the position of the head of the Zhang faction. However, the Zhang faction was a colossal organization, and it wasn't that there weren't any internal disagreements and conflicts. If the old master's health were to fall at this critical juncture, it would have a huge impact on the entire Zhang family. In other words, the entire Zhang faction would also face a huge challenge, and Zhang Guohua's position within the Zhang faction would also be challenged. To inherit the old master's authority, Zhang Guohua still lacked the prestige and prestige.
Chen Xing came. Seeing Chen Xing, Zhang Guohua walked over, and his face eased a lot.
Dad, you have to pay more attention to your health. Chen Xing said with concern and looked at Zhang Guohua with some worry.
I'm still in good health. Zhang Guohua squeezed a smile on his face and patted Chen Xing on the shoulder.
Chen Xing didn't know what to say in the face of his father-in-law, who had a lot on his mind. According to the rumors he had heard before, his father-in-law might continue to take a step forward and enter the Politburo at the Party Congress in September, but that was under the condition that the old master was still alive. As long as the old master was healthy, there might not be too much of an accident for his father-in-law to enter the Politburo at that time. At that time, Zhang Guohua, who had already entered the ranks of the leaders of the Party and the country, would have more confidence and qualifications to become the leader of the Zhang faction. But now, the old master's physical condition had taken a sharp turn for the worse. It was only the middle or late February. The old master's current condition was temporarily stable, but no one knew what would happen to him in the next moment. Who could guarantee that the old master would be fine this time? No one could guarantee it.
It was an indisputable fact that the old master's health was getting worse, not because of illness, but because of the aging of the body's functions, which could not be cured with medicine.
Zhang Guohua seemed to be in a depressed mood. He did not say much and walked to the side to smoke. The other younger generation would also look at Zhang Guohua with awe. Zhang Guohua had already been promoted to the top leader of the Provincial Party Committee and was the core of the second generation of the Zhang family, no matter whether he was a direct descendant or a collateral descendant. Whether the Zhang family could continue to prosper in the future depended on how far Zhang Guohua could lead the Zhang family. After all, Old Master Zhang was getting old and would die sooner or later. And this day seemed to be not far away. This time, when the old master coughed up blood and suddenly fainted, everyone was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
As time passed, Chen Xing also went into the ward to take a look at the old master. The old master was lying peacefully on the bed. His aunt, Zhang Xiaoru, who was taking care of him inside, said that the old master was asleep and should not disturb him. Chen Xing nodded silently, but stood beside the bed with his wife, Zhang Ningning, for a while without saying anything. Zhang Ningning stayed with his aunt in the ward, while Chen Xing went outside for a breath of fresh air. Although the high-class ward specially for the central leaders was extremely spacious, it was useless to squeeze in with so many people. Besides, Chen Xing always felt that the ward was very depressing.
When it was time for dinner, Chen Xing asked Zhang Ningning to go out and have a casual meal. Zhang Ningning shook her head, she had no appetite. Her mother-in-law, Zeng Yun, wanted to bring some nourishing soup from home, but Zhang Ningning said that she would be full after drinking some soup. Chen Xing knew that his wife was in a bad mood, so he did not say much. Coincidentally, the two brothers, Zhang Yi and Zhang Ming, came over and wanted to drag Chen Xing out for a drink. It was too boring to stay in the hospital. At a glance, everyone had a sad expression on their faces. The two brothers felt annoyed just looking at them. They were not needed here for the time being, so they decided to go out for a drink to relieve their boredom.
Big brother, second brother, is it a good idea to go out for a drink at this time? Chen Xing glanced at the ward.
It's useless for us to stay. If we all squat outside, Old Master will get better, then we can squat for a few days and nights without rest. Not to mention squatting, even kneeling would not be a problem. But the problem is that we won't be able to help Old Master even if we stay outside with a sad expression on our faces. Zhang Ming pursed his lips. He was also anxious. Old Master was the pillar of the Zhang family. As his grandson, how could he not be worried for his grandfather? But staying outside wouldn't be of much help. At this time, there were already many people from the Zhang family gathered outside. The more people there, the more mouths there were. Although no one dared to approach the ward and speak loudly, there were many people gathered in small groups. Zhang Ming was annoyed just looking at them.
Chen Xing, let's go out for a drink or two. Just treat it as drowning our sorrows with alcohol. Zhang Yi glanced in the direction of the ward with a worried expression. He directly put his arm around Chen Xing's shoulder and walked out.
The three of them walked out. Behind them, another young man caught up. Big brother, second brother, Chen Xing, where are you going? Bring me along.
San Er, let's go out for a drink. Are you coming too? Zhang Yi turned to look at him. He called him by his nickname. He was his cousin, Zhang Ping. He was the third in the family, and his nickname was Little San Er.
Let's go. Why not? It's so boring here. I'll go out with you guys to relieve my boredom. Zhang Ping said helplessly. He wasn't in a good mood either.
Alright, let's go together. Zhang Ming nodded.
The four of them walked out together. Zhang Yi drove to a bar he frequented. The bar was located in a high-class clubhouse, and was not open to everyone. The people who came in and out were all successful people, and there was no lack of children from influential families. Most importantly, there were many young ladies from wealthy families. Of course, there were also some who used their connections to get in, hoping to get to know the rich and powerful, and dream of becoming a phoenix. Zhang Yi often came here to drink, and was very familiar with the place.
Oh, Brother Zhang Yi is here. What flavor of alcohol are you going to drink today? The manager of the bar saw Zhang Yi and immediately came to welcome him.
Beer will do today. Let's start with a dozen German stouts. Zhang Yi waved his hand. They were here to relieve boredom, not to have fun. Zhang Yi was clearly not in a good mood. He looked at Chen Xing and the rest. Let's sit in the hall outside. It's not bad to watch a show.
Alright, let's sit outside. Private rooms are boring. Zhang Ming immediately made his decision. He and his brother played in different territories. Everyone had their own favorite places to go. For example, this bar was one that he rarely came to.
The few of them found a place to sit. The manager came over to serve them, but Zhang Yi waved him away. They were drinking and chatting among themselves. They didn't like outsiders standing beside them.
Chen Xing, do you have any good business opportunities in Nanzhou? Introduce me there to make some money. Zhang Ping smiled at Chen Xing after sitting down.
San Er, let me warn you. Don't think about going to Chen Xing's place to get some benefits. Do you still lack that bit of money? Don't be short-sighted. It's true that you want to get rich, but don't harm your own people. Zhang Yi stared at Zhang Ping.
Brother Yi, I was just saying it casually. How could I take it seriously? Zhang Ping laughed dryly.
It's good that you didn't take it seriously. You don't lack money anyway. You should stop. Zhang Ming interrupted.
Brother Ming, in this day and age, no one would complain about having too much money. You should earn more now so that you can retire in the future. Zhang Ping laughed. Even if you emigrate overseas, you'll still be rich. You don't have to worry about not being able to enjoy life.
You're a member of the Zhang family, yet you're thinking about emigrating. When you leave, even I feel embarrassed for you. Zhang Yi glared at him.
Brother Yi, I … I'm not the only one who wants to do this. Look at the Sun family. Several of their daughters and sons-in-law have obtained green cards overseas. They're just like us, genuine members of the Red Army. They've also emigrated. Who would be so stubborn as to stay in the country for the rest of their lives? All the rich want to go abroad. Emigrating doesn't mean they don't love their country. Zhang Ping said with a smile. The Sun family he mentioned was the only red family that could compete with the Zhang family. However, the Sun family was not as good as the Zhang family in the cultivation of their descendants. Now, they were not as prosperous as the Zhang family. Moreover, they still maintained a huge influence in the political and military circles. In the Sun family, the Old Master Sun was still alive. Old Master Sun was the only one among the few surviving elders who could stand on equal footing with Old Master Zhang. As for the other elders, they were much inferior.
Old Master Sun still had a huge influence, but the second and third generation of the Sun family did not shine in the political world. The Sun family's descendants did not seem to have the heart to enter the political world. They did not truly embark on the path of politics. Most of them worked in state-owned enterprises and other institutions. Their attention was more focused on how to earn money. The Sun family's influence in the political and military world was far from the Zhang family's, but in terms of wealth, even ten Zhang families could not compare to the Sun family.
The Sun family is the Sun family, we are us. The Sun family is a bunch of people who only think about money. They can't wait to put everyone's money into their pockets. You're comparing yourself to them, aren't you ashamed? " Zhang Yi said angrily. He was already in a bad mood. Seeing that his own family member still dared to bring up immigration at this time, if not for the fact that this cousin in front of him was relatively close to him, he would have given him a good kick.
Brother Yi, don't mention it, don't mention it. Then I won't say it. Just treat it as a fart. Zhang Ping saw that Zhang Yi was really angry and hurriedly smiled.
Heh, speak of the devil. Isn't that the third son of the Sun family? Zhang Ming suddenly said in a low voice, the corners of his mouth pointing in the direction of the door.
Chen Xing and the rest looked in the direction of Zhang Ming's words. A young man walked in. He looked less than 30 years old. Chen Xing did not recognize him. Zhang Yi explained to Chen Xing from the side. It was the third generation of the Sun family, Sun Tianjin.
Zhang Yi even laughed and told Chen Xing a little gossip. When people mentioned Sun Tianjin's name, they would laugh and say that it was because Sun Weijin's father loved money as much as his life. The reason he gave his son that name was probably because he wanted the Sun family to have more children and wealth.
Oh, if it wasn't Big Brother Zhang and Second Brother Zhang. Sun Tianjin was very surprised to see Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi. Old Master Zhang had fainted from coughing up blood today. This could be hidden from the people at the bottom, but how could it be hidden from them, who were also members of the top red families? Their Sun family did not have much influence in politics, but they had their own spokespersons to support them. News was also very fast. Not to mention that Old Master Sun was still alive and well, and he looked much healthier than Old Master Zhang. At least his old master could go for a walk by himself after eating and did not need anyone to support him. He was in good spirits. As long as Old Master Sun was still around, the Sun family was still a powerful family that people could not ignore.
Sun Tianjin thought that Zhang Ming, Zhang Yi and the rest of the Zhang family should be anxiously waiting at the hospital. He did not expect to see the two of them at the bar. Sun Tianjin's surprise came from this.
Tianjin, I haven't seen you for a while. What have you been busy with? Zhang Yi glanced sideways at Sun Tianjin. Sun Tianjin was also a frequent customer of this bar, and Zhang Yi had met him a few times. The two of them basically minded their own business, and the Zhang Family and Sun Family did not have much of a conflict of interest.
I went overseas to settle some personal matters. I didn't expect Second Brother to remember me. What an honor. Sun Tianjin said with a smile. Looks like I'll have to drink with Second Brother more often in the future. Otherwise, I'll be letting Second Brother down.
Alright, let's drink together when there's a chance. Zhang Yi smiled insincerely. The Sun family did not give people a good impression. Outsiders thought they were a bunch of vampires.
Alright, I'll definitely drink with Second Brother in the future. But Second Brother Zhang and Big Brother Zhang seem to have guests today. I won't join in the fun. I'll find another chance. Sun Tianjin smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. Chen Xing was the only one who was unfamiliar to him. He didn't have an impression of such a person.
Sun Tianjin turned around and went to other places to have fun. He came here because he especially liked to have fun with women who had the taste of petty bourgeoisie. Many women who dreamed of being rich and powerful couldn't wait to take the initiative to throw themselves at him. Sun Tianjin didn't refuse any of them and was happy to have fun every night.
That Third Young Master Sun seemed to be a playboy. Chen Xing saw that Sun Tianjin was hugging women on both sides in a short while. He smiled and shook his head.
Which son of a rich family wasn't like this? Zhang Ping grinned.
As the two were talking, Chen Xing's phone rang. It was Xiao Guodong's assistant, Zhou Zhijin. Although Chen Xing had only met Zhou Zhijin once or twice, he had a deep impression of him. Zhou Zhijin asked if he had returned to Capital City. Chen Xing said yes, and Zhou Zhijin said he wanted to come over and have a chat with Chen Xing. Chen Xing was puzzled but didn't ask much over the phone. After telling him the address, he asked Zhou Zhijin to come over.
Who called you, Zhou Zhijin? Zhang Yi heard Chen Xing's voice and asked.
Yes, it's him. He said he wanted to come over and have a chat with me. This is strange. I'm not familiar with him. I just came back to Capital City and he took the initiative to call me. Chen Xing asked curiously.
Is that so? Zhou Zhijin specially came over to have a chat with you? Zhang Yi looked at Chen Xing in surprise and said with a smile. This is a little unusual. It's more normal for him to specially come over to have a chat with me than to look for you. I didn't see him call me, but he called you.
Second brother, you may be in Capital City most of the time. He thinks it's easy to find you and wants to have a chat with you. There's always a chance. Chen Xing said with a smile.
The key is that Zhijin is not familiar with you. Why is he looking for you?
Yes, I also find it strange. If Brother Guodong didn't take him to Zhenhai to deal with things, I wouldn't even know him. I don't know why he is looking for me. Chen Xing shook his head. Maybe he really wants to have a chat with me.
The old master fainted. He knows that you should be rushing back to Capital City, so he specially called you. I don't believe that he specially wants to have a chat with you for no reason. Zhang Yi said with a smile.
That brat Zhi Jin seems to be going somewhere to train. Chen Xing, I say, don't tell me he's going to your Nanzhou? Zhang Ming suddenly said.
Zhou Zhijin is going to be transferred to the local area? Chen Xing was startled. Then he remembered that when Xiao Guodong was also present, Zhou Zhijin talked to Xiao Guodong about this and asked for his opinion. Xiao Guodong seemed to support Zhou Zhijin's decision to go to the local area to train. He even joked about coming to Nanzhou to keep him company. At that time, everyone thought it was a joke. Now that Zhang Ming said this, Chen Xing felt that it was quite possible.
Chen Xing, I think it's really possible. Last time, Zhijin also mentioned to me that he was going to change places. Maybe he really is going to Nanzhou. Otherwise, why would he look for you? His old master asked him to be an assistant by Brother Guodong's side. In addition to gaining experience, it was mainly to strengthen his relationship with the Xiao family. But the Zhou family is a prestigious family. They can't let their core children always be an assistant. They have to focus on training them. Zhou Zhijin should have moved long ago. It seems that the Zhou family is planning to let him enter the political world. Zhang Yi said with a smile.
If he really wants to come to Nanzhou, then I really have to have a good chat with him. Chen Xing's eyes brightened. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. I'm having a hard time in Nanzhou. If he comes, he might be able to bring me a lot of help.
Chen Xing, what's going on? You still haven't gained a foothold in Nanzhou? Zhang Ming turned his head to look at Chen Xing.
