Seeing that Zhou Zhijin didn't speak and Chen Xing looked even more serious, Zhao Kai wanted to slap himself in the face. Just now, he should have firmly said that he didn't know about Dingjin Shipping Company. Now, Zhou Zhijin had asked him about it. If something was found out in the future and people knew what he had said at night, it would be strange if Ge Jian-ming didn't punish him. It was true that he wanted to ride Chen Xing's coattails, but if it would offend Ge Jian-ming, Zhao Kai would never dare to do it. If Ge Jian-ming wanted to punish him, Chen Xing might not be able to protect him.
Looking around the room, Zhao Kai wiped the sweat off his forehead. Besides Chen Xing's driver, Li Yong, there were only his daughter and Song Zhi, and Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin definitely wouldn't say anything outside. Zhao Kai was a little relieved, thinking that what he had said should not be spread out.
Zhao Kai was worried about himself, but Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin were not in the mood to look at Zhao Kai's expression. Both of them were lost in thought because of the unexpected information from Zhao Kai. Zhou Zhijin was mainly thinking about the smuggling case, while Chen Xing was thinking about more. In the competition with Ge Jian-ming, he didn't want to involve Ge Jian-ming's family. However, if Ge Jian-ming's son was not clean and was found guilty, then he couldn't blame him for taking the initiative to make an issue of it.
Zhou Zhijin was in a hurry to leave. After eating a few mouthfuls, he said goodbye to Chen Xing. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Kai, and then Zhou Zhijin left quickly. He would ask Zhao Kai for more details. Since Zhao Kai knew the boss of Dingjin Shipping Company, whether they were familiar or not, he might know something else. Zhou Zhijin would not leave Zhao Kai out.
After Zhou Zhijin left, Chen Xing didn't have much appetite. If it weren't for Song Zhi staring at him, it seemed that once he left, Song Zhi would follow him. Chen Xing also wanted to leave at this time. He wanted to go to the place where He Li and Chu Rong lived, but he didn't want to follow Song Zhi.
Chen Xing didn't leave, but Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing came back. They had just returned to the hotel and heard from the staff that Chen Xing would come for dinner in the evening. Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing went straight to Chen Xing's box. At first, they thought Chen Xing was entertaining guests, so they were quite careful when they came in. After entering the room, they saw that besides Chen Xing's driver, there was only Zhao Kai, the director of traffic, and two girls in their twenties. Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing felt much more relaxed.
Two busy people had arrived. Chen Xing glanced at Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing and said with a smile.
Don't mention it. They are always busy. Huang Ming waved his hand and threw a file bag on the table. He sat next to Chen Xing and secretly glanced at Song Zhi on the other side of Chen Xing. He knew that there were several women around Chen Xing, but he had never seen Song Zhi. In addition to Song Zhi, Zhao Ziqing, who was sitting next to Song Zhi, was also young and beautiful. Huang Ming glanced at the two women and looked at Chen Xing with a particularly ambiguous look.
Boy, be serious. Chen Xing glared at Huang Ming and knew that Huang Ming must have thought of something wrong again.
Chen Xing, I didn't say anything. Huang Ming chuckled and didn't say anything more. He knew when to stop joking around. He didn't dare to go too far with Chen Xing. Huang Ming said as he looked at Zhao Kai. Chief Zhao, it's been a few days since I've seen you here for a meal.
Recently, I have been busy with work and spent most of my time in the unit. I often work overtime at night and rarely come out to socialize. Zhao Kai said with a smile. As he spoke, his expression was serious, but he did not forget to glance in Chen Xing's direction. He was intentionally creating an image of a diligent worker in front of Chen Xing.
No wonder I haven't seen Director Zhao for a few days. Director Zhao, you have to do your work and pay attention to your health. Don't tire yourself out. Lu Xiaojing said with concern. She was undoubtedly a person who knew how to conduct herself. Nowadays, a large part of the annual turnover of Jin Du Hotel was public consumption. Many government agencies and units ordered meals from their hotel. Of course, this was because of Chen Xing, but Lu Xiaojing herself was also a person who was good at entertaining people. She often had a good relationship with the leaders of the units that spent money in their hotel.
Thank you for your concern, Director Lu. Zhao Kai smiled and nodded. At this time, his attitude was also very amiable. He didn't put on airs at all. When Chen Xing wasn't here, he could still act like a director. Now, he was very honest.
Lu Xiaojing and Zhao Kai exchanged greetings, and Huang Ming didn't interrupt. Lu Xiaojing was in charge of the affairs of Jin Du Hotel, and Huang Ming rarely intervened directly. As for Zhao Kai, Huang Ming could only be regarded as an acquaintance. When they met, he would politely call him Director Zhao, but he couldn't say that he was familiar with him.
What's in this file bag? Did you just come back from outside? Chen Xing looked at the file bag on the table and asked casually.
It's just the application materials for a five-star hotel. We've been stuck in the Provincial Tourism Bureau for a long time. We've gone to the Provincial Tourism Bureau several times, but they just gave us a perfunctory reply. We couldn't see their leaders even if we wanted to. In the evening, we directly went to the door of the director's house and waited. Huang Ming said helplessly.
He even played the trick of waiting for the rabbit. Why? Didn't he come? Chen Xing said with a smile.
He came, but it was as if he didn't see him at all. He just said some official words and didn't give us a definite answer. Huang Ming said with annoyance and glanced at Zhao Kai beside him. Huang Ming said again, "If the director wants money, he can just give us a hint. It's not that we don't want to give it to him, but he just doesn't say anything, and the matter is also stuck. Isn't this making us anxious?
How dare you talk about bribing an official in front of me? Huang Ming, you're really getting more and more capable. " Chen Xing also glanced at Zhao Kai with a slightly serious face. If there were only his people here, Chen Xing wouldn't mind Huang Ming talking casually. But with Zhao Kai here, Chen Xing undoubtedly had to put on an act.
I was just grumbling casually. Huang Ming smiled awkwardly. He just glanced at Zhao Kai because he thought that since he could have dinner with Chen Xing alone, he should be a person who knew how to behave and wouldn't talk nonsense.
"Is it that your hotel doesn't meet the application conditions or something?" Chen Xing asked with some doubts.
"Mayor Chen, if our hotel doesn't meet the conditions, I dare not submit the application." Lu Xiaojing said at this time. She knew that Jin Du Hotel was now fully qualified to apply for a five-star hotel. Lu Xiaojing was full of confidence about this. "Our hotel passed the four-star hotel examination a few years ago. In recent years, our hotel has been improving its hardware and software conditions. In terms of conditions, we are now not inferior to those five-star hotels in the city. I think Mayor Chen can also feel this after comparison."
"That's true." Chen Xing nodded slightly. Chen Xing had been to most of the five-star hotels in the city because of various social engagements. If you asked him to say that Jin Du Hotel was worse than those hotels, Chen Xing really couldn't feel it. "But I remember that you seemed to be talking about the application at the end of last year. Until now, there is still no news.
Don't talk about news, the Provincial Tourism Bureau is also stuck. How can there be news? " Huang Ming curled his lips. The Provincial Tourism Bureau had to first approve the application and then send it to the higher-ups for examination. Now, it could be said that there was no sign of the application. It had been delayed for almost half a year.
If there is no problem with you, then the efficiency of the Provincial Tourism Bureau really needs to be improved. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. It was not good for Chen Xing to comment too much on the departments directly under the provincial government.
The two chatted casually. Huang Ming wanted to ask about the auction of the Chongbei Municipal Government's guest house, but this topic was a sensitive one. Huang Ming took into account Zhao Kai's presence and did not ask. He had been in contact with Sha Yuanbao for the past few days. Sha Yuanbao was still brooding over this matter, especially the incident on the day of the auction. Sha Yuanbao now believed that it was premeditated and wanted to investigate this matter. However, Sha Yuanbao was an external investor. How could he really compete with the local Hongyi Construction Company? Even if it was premeditated, no one would help Sha Yuanbao if he wanted to investigate.
Leaving Chen Xing and Huang Ming aside, after Zhou Zhijin left the hotel, he took a car and went straight to the temporary office of the Joint Investigation Team. Because the Joint Investigation Team was set up by the Municipal Government, and the specific leader was the Municipal Anti-Smuggling Office, the temporary office was set up downstairs of the Municipal Anti-Smuggling Office. There was an empty office here, so it was temporarily used.
