In the Jin Du Hotel, not long after Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin sat down, Song Zhi also came over excitedly. Zhao Kai and Zhao Ziqing were with her. Song Zhi didn't expect that there would be other people in the private room. It was rare that she was more ladylike than usual. However, at night, Zhao Kai and Zhao Ziqing also came over, so Song Zhi couldn't be impolite in front of Chen Xing like usual. When there were other people present, Song Zhi always knew that she had to protect Chen Xing's image as the mayor.
Mayor Chen. Zhao Kai nodded and bowed to greet Chen Xing, then turned to look at Zhou Zhijin. Assistant Zhou, you're here too.
Zhao Kai had shamelessly tagged along. Face couldn't be used to make a living, and to him, any opportunity to show his face in front of his superiors could not be missed. So what if he had to be shameless? At his age and position, his face was already thick enough to go through hundreds of battles. In front of his superiors, face was the most worthless thing in the world.
At this moment, Zhao Kai's attitude was filled with flattery. Zhao Ziqing, who was standing to the side, felt a little ashamed looking at her father's appearance. Especially when Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin were so young that they could only be her older brothers. Yet, her father's attitude changed from arrogance to deference. To put it bluntly, he was just like a slave.
Song Zhi also gave a helpless look to Chen Xing, which meant that she didn't bring Zhao Kai here on purpose. When she made the phone call, Zhao Ziqing was also beside her. Zhao Kai suddenly heard the news and rushed over, then stuck to her like a dog skin plaster. Of course, Song Zhi knew that Zhao Ziqing secretly informed her father, but she couldn't blame Zhao Ziqing.
After they talked for a while, they sat down. Zhao Kai became the waiter, pouring tea for Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin. His face was full of smiles. Chen Xing shook his head slightly. Zhao Kai became the director of the Traffic Bureau because of him. Chen Xing really didn't like such an officer who liked to flatter others. However, it was impossible for him to show any displeasure to Zhao Kai. As long as Zhao Kai could do the work of the Traffic Bureau well, Chen Xing would approve of him.
Zhou Zhoujin's gaze swept over Zhao Ziqing and Song Zhi, and then he didn't pay any more attention to them. He was also a man with a family, and although he was occasionally dissolute outside, it wasn't to the extent that he would be like a fly seeing meat when seeing a beautiful woman, and his eyes would light up.
Because there were a few more people in Zhou Zhijin's eyes, Zhou Zhijin didn't speak as casually as before. For Zhao Kai's flattery, Zhou Zhijin didn't like it at all. He just nodded and played with the cup in front of the table.
Seeing Song Zhi sitting next to him, Chen Xing's face twitched. In the end, he could only shake his head. He couldn't do anything to this little girl. If he spoke now, he would definitely be looking for trouble.
When the dishes were served, Chen Xing smiled and asked Zhou Zhijin if he wanted to drink. Zhou Zhijin hesitated for a moment, then said that he would like to have some beer. Hearing this, Zhao Kai, who was sitting next to him, immediately stood up and poured a glass of beer for Zhou Zhijin with a smile. At the same time, he looked in the direction of Chen Xing, wondering if Chen Xing also wanted a little. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't seem to object, Zhao Kai immediately poured a little for Chen Xing. Even Chen Xing's driver Li Yong, Zhao Kai also poured a glass of beer for him. Li Yong also stood up and said that he couldn't drink because he had to drive for the leader.
Mayor Chen, let me propose a toast to you. Please help yourself. After sitting down for a while, Zhao Kai felt that the atmosphere on the table was about right, so he took the initiative to propose a toast to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing raised his glass, slightly signaled to Zhao Kai, and just took a sip. As for Zhao Kai, he drank the whole glass. Chen Xing raised his eyelids and didn't even bother to say anything. Zhao Kai's thoughts were in the wrong place. If Zhao Kai could make some achievements in his work, Chen Xing wouldn't mind promoting him again.
Assistant Zhou, let me propose a toast to you too. Please help yourself. Zhao Kai's face was full of smiles, and he was as flattering as he could be. He was quite arrogant in the bureau. If the people in the bureau saw his attitude at this moment, they would probably feel disgusted. Even the dignified director was like this.
Zhou Zhijin nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on Zhao Kai. Originally, he didn't like Zhao Kai, but suddenly he thought of something and asked, "Director Zhao, you are a native of Nanzhou, right?"
"Yes, what about it?" Zhao Kai looked at Zhou Zhijin curiously. He didn't know what Zhou Zhijin wanted to ask, but his mouth was already impatiently smiling. "Assistant Zhou, I have lived in Nanzhou for decades. When it comes to understanding the city, I am no worse than those elderly people. The historical changes of Nanzhou City, the changes of the city … and so on, I am very clear about it. If Assistant Zhou is interested in anything, you can ask me.
I am not interested in those things. " The corner of Zhou Zhoujin's mouth twitched. He didn't have the time to learn about such things, but Zhao Kai's answer was also in line with his requirements. Since the other party was a native of the Southern Province and had been in the system for more than twenty years, he would definitely know more than others. Zhou Zhoujin immediately asked, "Chief Zhao, have you heard of Ding Jin Shipping Company?
"Ding Jin Shipping Company?" Zhao Kai was startled when he heard this, and his expression suddenly became hesitant. He didn't expect Zhou Zhijin to ask this. His mouth was full of words just now, but now that Zhou Zhijin asked him, he was really in a difficult position. The hesitation on his face only appeared for a moment. Zhao Kai quickly returned to normal and laughed dryly. "Assistant Zhou, I really don't know much about this company."
"Director Zhao, you really don't know, or you don't know?" "From your appearance, it seems you deliberately don't want to say it." Zhou Zhijin stared at Zhao Kai, and his originally lazy expression became serious. He just wanted to ask casually, but looking at Zhao Kai's expression, it seemed he really hit the nail on the head. "Could it be that Zhao Kai really knows something?"
"Assistant Zhou, look at what you're saying. If I knew, I would definitely tell you." Zhao Kai awkwardly smiled.
"Director Zhao, the thing I hate the most is being deceived by others. Think carefully before you answer me." Zhou Zhijin looked at Zhao Kai with a faint smile. "I heard that Mayor Chen has been saying that he is not satisfied with the transportation planning in the city. Be careful, you won't last long as the director of transportation."
There was nothing more important to Zhao Kai than his official hat. Hearing Zhou Zhijin's words, Zhao Kai was really scared. He nervously looked at Chen Xing. He didn't know whether Chen Xing had said that or not, but Zhou Zhijin had a close relationship with Chen Xing. At this moment, when Zhou Zhijin said that, he really didn't dare to take Zhou Zhijin's words seriously.
Zhao Kai looked at Chen Xing. At this time, in order to cooperate with Zhou Zhijin's words, Chen Xing's face was also tense. He didn't remember saying that to Zhou Zhijin, but if Zhou Zhijin could ask something from Zhao Kai, it would be an unexpected gain, and Chen Xing naturally had to cooperate.
In fact, in his heart, Chen Xing didn't think so. He could guess that Zhou Zhijin just asked impromptu. Although Zhao Kai's behavior was strange, what could he really know? If Zhao Kai knew some secrets, Xiao Yuanqing, the office director, was also a local official. Xiao Yuanqing was also his confidant. If Zhao Kai knew some secrets, Xiao Yuanqing might also know. They were all local officials. There was no reason that Xiao Yuanqing didn't know what Zhao Kai knew. If Xiao Yuanqing knew, he would have told Zhou Zhijin long ago.
But this time, Chen Xing undoubtedly made a mistake. In some things, accidents, coincidences, and other various factors often led to different information for everyone. Zhou Zhijin just asked casually, but this time, he really hit the nail on the head. After seeing Chen Xing's tense face, Zhao Kai's expression immediately loosened. He stammered and said, "Assistant Zhou, actually, I don't know much about the boss of Dingjin Shipping Company. I only know him, but I don't have a deep relationship with him. Once, I saw him with Secretary Ge's son by chance, and I know that this company is not to be messed with."
"What did you say?" Zhou Zhijin abruptly stood up. What Zhao Kai said really surprised him.
"I … I mean, the boss of Dingjin Shipping Company seems to know Secretary Ge's son." Zhao Kai was startled by Zhou Zhijin's expression. When he heard the recent news about the accident at Dingjin Shipping Company, and that it was Zhou Zhijin who had led people to investigate it, Zhao Kai's little heart pounded. He told himself in his heart that he must not be involved in any whirlpool. He then said ambiguously, "Assistant Zhou, in fact, I don't know whether I saw it clearly or not. Maybe I saw it wrong at that time. I drank a lot that night, so my eyes are not very good."
As Zhao Kai spoke, he smiled at Zhou Zhijin. He knew that his final words would be useless, but he still had to give himself some psychological comfort.
Zhou Zhijin stared at Zhao Kai and directly filtered out the last words of Zhao Kai. He would not believe that Zhao Kai said that he didn't see it clearly. At this moment, he was completely sure that Dingjin Shipping Company was related to Ge Jian-ming's son. This was an unexpected gain.
Zhou Zhijin turned to look at Chen Xing. He wanted to know what Chen Xing's reaction was.
