The mayor and the people from Beijing News Agency came to negotiate, asking for Liang Ya's release. Chen Xing received a call from Lu Ming.
Was there no evidence to prove that Liang Ya was related to Ji Jiping's kidnapping? Chen Xing asked with a frown. The people from Beijing News Agency were really quick.
There was no evidence. Lu Ming's answer was simple. Not only was he under pressure from Beijing News Agency, but there were also people in the bureau who wanted to release Liang Ya. There was also a lot of internal pressure. However, Lu Ming was the Executive Deputy Bureau Chief. Chen Xing had promoted him to this position, so he had to accept it. He couldn't complain to Chen Xing about everything.
Since there was no evidence, he would let her go first. Chen Xing shook his head. He didn't want to offend the people from Beijing News Agency. If he was bitten by them, it would be a headache in the future. Anyway, there was no evidence to prove that Liang Ya was related to the kidnapping. It was fine to let her go.
After hanging up the call from Lu Ming, Chen Xing smiled bitterly again. He shouldn't get involved in this. He didn't want to be of any help and get into trouble.
It was already evening when he returned to the office. Chen Xing handled a few documents and got off work. At night, the boss of a local real estate company wanted to treat him to dinner. Chen Xing was too lazy to entertain and rejected the invitation.
He drove to the vicinity of Nan Gang Company. Soon, the back door opened, and Yang Hong got in. She gave Chen Xing a charming smile. She could leave now. It was an honor to have the mayor pick her up from work.
Chen Xing pursed his lips and smiled. You're used to working at Nan Gang, right?
Of course, I'm used to it. No matter what, the business isn't more complicated than the bureaucracy. Although there are some schemes, it's easy for me to deal with. Yang Hong's expression was a little proud. Her transfer to Nan Gang was like a fish in water. Although it took some time to familiarize herself with the work, everyone in the office was obedient to her. Yang Hong was obviously very satisfied with herself for being able to take control of the situation so quickly. She was the office director, not just for show.
Most office directors have useless jobs. No wonder you got used to it so quickly. Chen Xing smiled.
Chen Xing, you're obviously looking down on my abilities. Working in a company, even if it's academic, is very different from when I was in the Education Bureau. It's not as easy as you think it is. Do you think I sit in the office with my legs crossed every day? At least you got in through your connections. If I don't perform well, even if Chairman Song Zhengming doesn't say anything, I can't embarrass you. Yang Hong said unhappily. She stretched out one hand from between the seats and lightly punched Chen Xing's thigh. Her voice was so coquettish that it sounded like she was acting coquettishly to Chen Xing. Anyone who heard it would feel their bones soften.
In that case, you've made me proud. Chen Xing smiled.
I'm not going to talk to you anymore, hateful person. You only know how to attack me. Yang Hong pouted her little mouth.
Chen Xing felt goosebumps all over his body. Yang Hong was a woman in her thirties, acting coquettishly like a little girl. Chen Xing felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. Although he knew that Yang Hong was flirting with him on purpose, he still preferred Yang Hong to act naturally.
Oh right, Chen Xing, my dad has a favor to ask of you. Yang Hong straightened her expression. She was looking for Chen Xing today not only because they had not seen each other for some time, but also because of the emptiness in her body and heart that she needed a man to comfort her. Her father had instructed her to do something, which was also an excuse for her to look for Chen Xing.
What is it? Chen Xing frowned slightly. Yang Jian now knew that she had to be a daughter. As the Vice-Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, he was unwilling to be left out.
The Deputy Director of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, Dong Ming, used to be my dad's secretary. Didn't something happen to Bei Shan Reservoir? I heard that the city wants to investigate the Water Conservancy Bureau as well. My dad hopes to bail him out. Yang Hong said, paying attention to Chen Xing's expression. When she saw Chen Xing's unhappy expression, Yang Hong knew that the matter was in danger. She quickly said, "Chen Xing, my dad is just worrying for nothing. If you think it's too difficult, then don't bother with it.
The Bei Shan Reservoir Administration Bureau and the Water Conservancy Bureau are rotten to the core. This time, the city wants to investigate thoroughly. No matter who they find, they won't be lenient. This is what I said at the meeting. Your dad wants me to bail him out. Is he trying to embarrass me? " Chen Xing said bluntly. "I didn't mean it that way.
Chen Xing, listen to what you're saying. I'm always on your side. If it's difficult, then let's just ignore him. That Dong Ming brought this upon himself. I said that my dad was being a busybody, but because of our past relationship, he insisted that I mention it to you. " Yang Hong smiled helplessly. She didn't want her relationship with Chen Xing to be affected because of Dong Ming. She knew her place. Even though she had become Chen Xing's woman, she couldn't just ask for anything. So what if she was beautiful? With Chen Xing's status, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a woman. If she didn't know her limits, it was only a matter of time before she was kicked aside. Yang Hong was ambitious, knew when to advance and retreat, and knew her limits. She hoped to use her relationship with Chen Xing at a critical moment. She didn't want to waste a favor.
Don't mention this in the future.
I know, my great mayor. I don't dare to make you angry. Otherwise, I won't be able to bear the consequences. I'm afraid that you'll teach me a lesson at night. Yang Hong had a seductive look on her face. As a married woman, she naturally knew how to please and satisfy a man.
I'm driving now. Do you want me to get into an accident? Chen Xing glared at Yang Hong. Her small hands were moving around his body in a naughty manner.
Alright, I'll behave. Is that okay? A smug look flashed across Yang Hong's face. She was happy with her own charm. A woman's youth didn't last long. She could only attract Chen Xing for a few short years. As long as she was still attractive to Chen Xing in the next few years, Yang Hong would be satisfied. She didn't expect that Chen Xing would still be interested in her when she was old.
Where should we go for dinner? Chen Xing turned around and asked Yang Hong. Both of them hadn't had dinner yet.
Let's go to my house. I'll cook for you. Yang Hong's eyes lit up. She looked at Chen Xing with anticipation.
Your husband isn't home? Chen Xing asked subconsciously.
We've been separated for a long time. Other than getting a divorce, how can we still be considered husband and wife? We've already laid everything on the table. Other than not getting a divorce, we'll live our own lives. I don't care how many women he has outside. He doesn't have the right to care about me. We'll just be friends from now on. Yang Hong shrugged. She spoke calmly. This marriage came and ended abruptly. The two of them got married in the blink of an eye after a blind date. In the end, their marriage ended in such a way. Even though there was a marriage certificate, the marriage only existed in name. Yang Hong's only concern was that a divorce would affect her future. She still wanted to return to officialdom. Hence, she needed to maintain a superficial relationship with this broken marriage. After all, she and Chen Xing were only lovers in secret. Chen Xing would never marry her, and she wouldn't have that kind of fantasy.
My son isn't home either. He's with my parents. Yang Hong dispelled Chen Xing's last worry.
As a mother, your son is still young. If you don't take care of him personally, aren't you afraid that your son won't be close to you in the future? Chen Xing laughed.
Nonsense. As long as I have time, I will accompany him. Wasn't I with you tonight? Otherwise, I would have brought him home a long time ago. Yang Hong smiled and shook her head. She had no feelings for her husband, but she treasured her son very much. Her son was now under her care. For a woman who lacked a man, the greatest comfort was her son.
Chen Xing didn't reject Yang Hong's suggestion. He followed her to her home. This was a high-class residential area in Nanzhou City. Yang Hong's husband's family was well-off. If it weren't for the fact that the couple had no feelings for each other, the family of three would have lived happily together. Who knew how many people couldn't even afford to live in a house?
The 150 square meter house was very spacious, but it also seemed very empty. After Chen Xing entered the house, he discovered that there wasn't a trace of a man's belongings in the house, except for the child's. He turned to Yang Hong and laughed. What? You're asking him to pack up and leave after you two finished the agreement?
No, this is my other house. I don't want to live in the one we used to live in. But even if I don't want to live in it, I won't let him off easily. I'll take the ownership of the house. No one will complain about having too many houses. Yang Hong closed the door and hugged Chen Xing tightly from behind. She hadn't felt the warmth of a man in her own home for a long time. Previously, she and Chen Xing had booked a room in a hotel. This time, the location was changed to her own home. Yang Hong had a strange feeling in her heart. She even hoped that the man in the house would be her real man. She needed a man's embrace, needed a man's warmth.
Chen Xing patted Yang Hong's hand. Just as he was about to move her hand away, he heard Yang Hong say, Chen Xing, don't move. Let me hug you like this, okay?
Chen Xing shook his head. He didn't want to mix too many emotions with Yang Hong.
Didn't you say that you're going to cook for me? I haven't tried your cooking yet. I can give it a try. "Chen Xing laughed. He wasn't used to this feeling. Rather than saying that he was urging Yang Hong to cook, it was more like Chen Xing wanted Yang Hong to let go of him.
What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you. When Yang Hong heard this, she instantly became energetic. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Xing, as if she was trying to please the man she loved.
Whatever you cook, I'll eat it. Chen Xing said indifferently.
He walked to the sofa and sat down. Chen Xing casually picked up the newspaper and started reading. Seeing this, Yang Hong also sat down. In her own home, Yang Hong especially liked the feeling of sticking to Chen Xing. With a man in the house, it seemed to be livelier.
You say whatever you want, but I don't know what to cook. There's no such thing as' whatever '. Yang Hong laughed. When she saw that the page Chen Xing was reading was about Nan Gang Group, she immediately said, "Chen Xing, I heard that Song Zhengming is going to retire. The provincial government is already looking for his successor. Is that true?
Is that true? " Chen Xing turned to look at Yang Hong. Nan Gang Group was directly managed by the provincial government. He really didn't know much about Nan Gang Group.
I only heard about it. Aren't I asking you? I thought you were more well-informed.
I didn't pay special attention to Nan Gang Group. How would I know?
As they chatted, Chen Xing's phone rang. Seeing that it was Huang Ming, Chen Xing picked it up. Old Huang, what's up?
Chen Xing, Xiao Jing's assistant, Tan Fang. Do you know her? Why was she arrested by the Public Security Bureau? Moreover, it was from the Provincial Department. They said that she was related to Zheng Guangfu's death. Isn't that nonsense? How could Tan Fang be related to Zheng Guangfu's death? As soon as the call was connected, Huang Ming's voice was heard.
The Public Security Bureau definitely had their reasons for arresting people. They wouldn't arrest people without evidence. When he heard the words' Provincial Department ', he knew that Zheng Guangfu's poisoning case was about to be closed. Previously, Lu Ming had mentioned this to him. In the end, the investigation led to Tan Fang. This was something that no one expected. It seemed like there was a huge conspiracy behind this poisoning case. However, the ending was a slap in the face to many people. Wu Hansheng was probably very disappointed.
Chen Xing, are you kidding me? I suspect that the Public Security Bureau couldn't solve the case, and the leaders from above forced them to solve the case. So, they randomly found someone to be the scapegoat. Don't you think so? Huang Ming was obviously not satisfied with Chen Xing's answer. He was using the hands-free. Lu Xiaojing was staring at him. Lu Xiaojing was really anxious about Tan Fang's arrest. She asked him to call Chen Xing immediately.
No, the people from the Provincial Department won't mess around. You will know the result. It's useless for you to ask me about Tan Fang's arrest. This is the Provincial Department's case. If they think that Tan Fang is a major suspect, they must have evidence. Don't think about it.
Chen Xing, don't tell me you know something? If you know, you have to tell me. Xiao Jing is almost eating me up.
Lu Ming mentioned to me that Tan Fang is indeed a suspect. Don't look for him. Just wait for the Public Security Bureau to announce the result.
