In the evening, Chen Xing had an appointment with Wang Rongyan, the former leader of the Department of Higher Education. After sitting in the office with Lu Ming for half an hour, they left separately. Before leaving, Chen Xing thought of Huang Ming and asked casually, "Is Huang Ming's matter in trouble?"
"It's nothing. The Director Li of the Provincial Tourism Bureau doesn't want to make a big deal out of it. I'll help Huang Ming mediate." Lu Ming said.
"What the hell happened? Huang Ming invited him to dinner. How did it turn into a fight?" Chen Xing didn't ask Lu Xiaojing at noon. At this time, he asked Lu Ming.
It was the kind of shameful thing to say. Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled. It seemed that Director Li had flirted with Lu Xiaojing when they were eating. He had also done some unruly things when they were drinking. Huang Ming was so angry for his wife that he even hit the director.
"So that's what happened." Chen Xing also shook his head and smiled. Huang Ming was a little impulsive, but as a man, Huang Ming could be regarded as a real man. It was true that he asked for help, but he couldn't tolerate his wife being flirted with.
"It's good that nothing happened." Chen Xing said and turned to ask Lu Ming, "Are you going back now or are you going to the Provincial Department?"
"I still have to go to the Provincial Department. I don't want to come out to socialize recently. I rejected all the dinner parties. I have nothing to do in the Provincial Department. I have nothing to do in the dormitory. It's boring to be alone." Lu Ming said.
"Old Lu, I think it's time for you to bring your wife here. At least you have someone to take care of you." Chen Xing smiled.
"Our son is going to take the college entrance examination in more than a month. How can my wife leave at ease at this time? She has to stay at home to take care of him."
"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten." Chen Xing nodded. When Lu Ming had just arrived in Nanzhou, the two of them had talked about this matter. Chen Xing was quite emotional at this time. The college entrance examination was in early June, and there was only a little more than a month left. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed in Nanzhou.
That's right, if your son is willing, let him apply to Nanzhou University. As long as his results aren't too bad, it shouldn't be a problem to say hello to Wang Rongyan. Chen Xing said with a smile. He had made an appointment to have dinner with Wang Rongyan this evening. Because the two of them were both in Nanzhou, Chen Xing still maintained a relatively close relationship with Wang Rongyan, the former leader of the Department of Higher Education. Furthermore, there was no longer any competitive relationship between them. Instead, they got along more harmoniously than before.
When the time comes, I'll take a look. I'm just afraid that the brat's results won't be good enough. At that time, I won't even be able to beg for help. Lu Ming smiled.
Old Lu, if your son heard what you said, he would blame you. The exam hasn't even started, and you're already saying such discouraging words. Chen Xing smiled and pointed at Lu Ming.
The two talked as they went downstairs. Lu Ming was going back to the Provincial Department, while Chen Xing took a car to the place where he had an appointment with Wang Rongyan. Because the hotel was booked by Wang Rongyan, they didn't go to the Jindu Hotel where Chen Xing usually socialized.
When Chen Xing arrived at the hotel, Wang Rongyan was already in a private room. The hotel was not far from Nanzhou University, located on Xuefu Road in Nanzhou City. When Chen Xing entered the private room, Wang Rongyan smiled and nodded to Chen Xing. Chen Xing had arrived.
Secretary Wang, sorry to have kept you waiting. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Chen Xing, don't treat me like an outsider. Wang Rongyan waved his hand and invited Chen Xing to sit down. He smiled. I have nothing to do now, so I came here early. I enjoy sitting alone and drinking tea.
The work in the university shouldn't be as easy as Secretary Wang said. Chen Xing said with a smile.
It was all practical work. If he wanted to be lazy, he didn't have to worry about not having time. Wang Rongyan smiled. As the secretary of the Party Committee, he was in charge of the macro, not directly in charge of the teaching work, so he was not that busy. Of course, it was not impossible to pretend to be busy every day.
Now he could be lazy and relax, but after a period of time, Secretary Wang might not have the chance to be lazy even if he wanted to. Chen Xing glanced at Wang Rongyan with a smile. He vaguely heard that Wang Rongyan might be the assistant to the governor. The reliability of the news had yet to be confirmed, but since there was such a rumor, there must be no smoke without fire.
It's hard to say whether there will be other work in the next period of time. But I don't like to think about the future. I only look at the present. Now I just muddle through every day. I don't like to think about things that haven't happened. Anyway, it's all illusory. Wang Rongyan said indifferently. Although he said so, Wang Rongyan's spirit was completely different. He was faintly high-spirited.
That was true. People should live in the present. Chen Xing smiled and echoed Wang Rongyan's words. Seeing that Wang Rongyan was not very willing to tell him the truth, Chen Xing wisely did not ask about it. Whether Wang Rongyan would really be the assistant to the governor remained to be confirmed. However, after carefully observing Wang Rongyan's expression, Chen Xing believed the rumor a little. He thought that Wang Rongyan had been kicked from the position of the director of the Department of Higher Education to the secretary of the Party Committee in the university. Many people thought that it would not be easy for Wang Rongyan to make a comeback in this life. However, the officialdom was ever-changing. No one was always a winner, and no one was always frustrated. Chen Xing did not know which line Wang Rongyan had reconnected with this time, so that he could rise again. If he really became the assistant to the governor, then Wang Rongyan's political life would be rejuvenated. Chen Xing wondered if Chen Danying, who had replaced Wang Rongyan as the director of the Department of Higher Education, knew that Wang Rongyan was very likely to make a comeback, and what would she think?
The two of them chatted casually. The reason why Chen Xing asked Wang Rongyan out tonight was simply to have a meal together, get to know each other, and maintain their relationship. If Wang Rongyan really became the Provincial Governor's assistant, it would be good news for him as well.
The two chatted and drank some wine. After dinner, they sat down to drink tea. It was not until eight o 'clock that they left the hotel. Wang Rongyan went back to the university, and Chen Xing asked the driver to drive to the Jindu Hotel. On the way, he called Huang Ming.
When they arrived at the Jindu Hotel, Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing had already arrived at the entrance of the hotel. After Chen Xing got off the car, he looked at Huang Ming for a while. Seeing that Huang Ming was fine, Chen Xing could not help but make a joke. "Huang, I thought you were also injured.
Chen Xing, you underestimated me. Although I can't fight two fists against four hands, I won't lose to others in a one-on-one fight. " Huang Ming chuckled.
"I think you can't wait to poke a hole in the sky." Chen Xing gave Huang Ming a supercilious look. "The Jindu Hotel still wants to apply for a five-star hotel. You beat up the director of the provincial tourism bureau. How can it be done?"
"I can't bear it. Chen Xing, you can't blame me for this." When Huang Ming mentioned this, there was still a trace of anger on his face. "If it happens again, I will beat him up again. Otherwise, is he still a man?"
"I think you still think you can count on me, that's why you dare to be so bold." Chen Xing did not leave Huang Ming any face.
"Chen Xing, listen to what you said. At worst, we won't apply. The reputation of the Jindu Hotel in Nanzhou is no worse than those five-star hotels." Huang Ming said in a very manly manner. But the next moment, Huang Ming immediately became timid. He laughed dryly and said, "Chen Xing, this matter is now in a deadlock. We can't do it by ourselves. It seems that we need your help, otherwise it will be impossible to apply for a five-star hotel."
"Can't you have a little ambition? You were like a man a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, you are timid. Look at you." Chen Xing laughed and scolded him. "If you have the ability, you should be tough to the end."
His anger should be vented, but the application of the Jindu Hotel for a five-star hotel couldn't be delayed. Huang Ming smiled sheepishly. It wasn't easy for him to invite that guy with the surname Li out for a meal. Who knew that he would turn out to be a b * stard. He really ruined the reputation of officials like you. I've really offended him. Chen Xing, I can only count on you now.
There weren't many good people among the officials. Lu Xiaojing muttered.
"Miss Lu, you are scolding me too." Chen Xing looked at Lu Xiaojing with a smile.
"Mayor Chen, I didn't mean to scold you. I was talking about other people." Lu Xiaojing hurriedly explained.
"It's okay. Even if you scold me, I have nothing to refute." Chen Xing laughed. "Nowadays, officials don't give people a good impression."
"That's other people. After Mayor Chen came to Nanzhou, he had a good reputation among the people." Lu Xiaojing said sincerely.
"Well, I just don't know if Miss Lu is telling the truth or deliberately flattering me." Chen Xing said with a smile.
The three of them walked inside while talking. When they entered the private room, knowing that Chen Xing had already eaten, Lu Xiaojing directly asked someone to bring the tea set and made tea herself. Huang Ming and Chen Xing sat and talked.
"Chen Xing, I really didn't want to bother you with this matter. Otherwise, Xiaojing and I wouldn't have done this alone in the beginning. I know that you are usually very busy, so I thought that I would do my best not to bother you. So I didn't ask you before. This time, I really screwed up, so I can only trouble you again." Huang Ming didn't pretend to be pretentious with Chen Xing and told the truth.
"This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult. As long as the application standards are met and the public relations are in place, it shouldn't be difficult. Why does the Provincial Tourism Bureau seem to be deliberately making things difficult for your Jindu Hotel?" Chen Xing said strangely.
"Who knows what's going on. When it comes to public relations, Xiaojing and I have made many trips to the Provincial Tourism Bureau and the Tourism Association. We have sent all the gifts and money, but the Provincial Tourism Bureau just refuses to let us go. Don't you think it's frustrating? It's rare that we can invite that guy surnamed Li out for a meal. I thought the matter could be solved, but who knew that he is such a bastard. He is a departmental cadre. I feel ashamed for him." Huang Ming said gloomily.
In this day and age, one had to be shameless in order to make a name for themselves. Chen Xing said with a smile.
"He is not shameless, but he is invincible." Huang Ming curled his lips.
"Stop joking. Let me help you. To apply for a five-star hotel, you have to pass the Provincial Tourism Bureau. Now that you have beaten him, I don't think I have enough face." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"After all, you are the mayor. That guy surnamed Li has to give you face." Huang Ming was anxious when he heard Chen Xing's words. He was counting on Chen Xing now. If even Chen Xing's face didn't work, then Jin Du Hotel really couldn't apply for a five-star hotel.
"If you didn't beat him, my face might be useful. Now that you have beaten him, he is a director of a department directly under the provincial government. Do you think he will give up his face easily? Besides, as the mayor, I can't control the departments of the provincial government. If he is determined not to give me face, I can't do anything." Chen Xing shook his head. Although the Provincial Tourism Bureau was not a department with real power, it was still a department directly under the Provincial government. If the other party didn't give him face, Chen Xing really couldn't do anything.
"Alas, so I was too impulsive and offended him." Huang Ming's face suddenly fell.
"What? Do you regret beating him now?"
"I don't regret it. I just said that if I do it again, I will beat him again." Huang Ming glanced at his wife and patted his chest.
"You are really a competent husband. I think Miss Lu is sitting next to you now. She must be feeling very happy." Chen Xing smiled. He was not surprised by Huang Ming's answer at all. This was the Huang Ming he was familiar with.
As a husband, he had to protect his wife at the critical moment. Huang Ming grinned. Thinking of the hotel, his mood was immediately affected. In the end, he could only say, "Chen Xing, since it has come to this, help me to ask. If it is okay, then it is okay. If it is not, then forget it. Don't be embarrassed."
"I will help you to ask first. There is no need to be so polite between us." Chen Xing said. Huang Ming's shares of Jin Du Hotel were secretly counted as his shares. In fact, it was only reasonable for Chen Xing to do his best for Jin Du Hotel.
