After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xing picks up the phone. However, Chen Xing doesn't say anything. He just listens quietly.
"Mayor Chen?" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xin saw that there was no sound when the call was connected, so she asked with uncertainty. She didn't know if Chen Xing's phone was in her hands.
"Yes, it's me." Chen Xing's answer is simple and straightforward. He doesn't know what else to say.
This time, it was Zhang Xin's turn to be silent. Chen Xing's voice filled her heart with bitterness. Just a few simple words made her feel a sense of unfamiliarity and distance. Zhang Xin, who was originally in a perturbed mood when making this call, didn't know how to say the words that followed.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing knitted his eyebrows.
"Can't I call you to say hello if I'm not wrong?" Zhang Xin's voice is low. Noticing that Chen Xing is silent again, Zhang Xin also realizes that Chen Xing, who doesn't want to talk to her in depth, also doesn't want to listen to her nonsense. Calming down, Zhang Xin calms down. "Can I treat you to dinner tonight?"
"I don't have time tonight. I already have a social engagement." Chen Xing refuses without thinking.
"You're a man. If you do that with me, you're not necessarily the one who suffers. Why are you so narrow-minded? You're still holding a grudge. I haven't even said that I lost my chastity." Zhang Xin is really stimulated by Chen Xing to the point that she can no longer maintain her rationality. She says what she has wanted to say for a long time. Maybe she has wanted to say this to Chen Xing for a long time, but she didn't have the courage. Now she blurts it out. However, after saying it, Zhang Xin is also at a loss. "Chen Xing, I … I don't mean anything else. It's just … can't we even be friends now?"
"Zhang Xin, I think you've misunderstood me. I do have a social engagement tonight. I arranged it yesterday. It's a very important one." Chen Xing smiles bitterly. He refused so decisively not because he is looking for an excuse, but because he really has a social engagement tonight. However, what Zhang Xin said at this moment touches him. Otherwise, he won't explain so much. Think about it from Zhang Xin's point of view. Although he was tricked at the beginning, Zhang Xin only made a request to him, she didn't ask for any more conditions. They had sex once, and in exchange, she helped him. And he also enjoyed the wonderful feeling of being with Zhang Xin, who is now so popular that people call her the new goddess. If this matter is spread out, I'm afraid that many people will drown him with their saliva. They will think that he has taken advantage of her. But then again, Zhang Xin wasn't so famous at that time.
To be serious about this kind of thing, Chen Xing knows that he really didn't suffer any losses. They should be even. Zhang Xin's words are also right. If he still holds a grudge now, he will be narrow-minded.
You really didn't lie to me? Zhang Xin's tone has changed a lot. There is a faint trace of joy in it. Chen Xing is willing to explain to her, as if it can make her very happy. If others see Zhang Xin's expression at this moment, who knows how many losers who worship Zhang Xin as a goddess will have their balls broken.
Do you think it's meaningful for me to lie to you? Chen Xing shakes his head. He has an appointment with Wang Rongyan for dinner at night. This dinner is indeed very important to him, because the news that Wang Rongyan will be appointed as the governor's assistant has been settled. Wang Rongyan will be confirmed as the governor's assistant, and will continue to be the secretary of the party committee of the University of Nanzhou for the time being. The two of them used to have a superior and subordinate relationship in the ministry. Now that Wang Rongyan's official career has taken a turn for the better, Chen Xing naturally wants to interact with Wang Rongyan more. If there is someone in the Provincial government who is willing to speak for him or give him information at critical moments, this is undoubtedly very beneficial to Chen Xing, so Chen Xing can't refuse tonight's dinner.
You are the mayor, and your words carry enormous weight. Of course, you won't lie to me. Zhang Xin wisely no longer doubts Chen Xing's words, and her voice is much more cheerful. Did you receive the VIP tickets for the concert I sent you? Will you come to my concert?
Ahem … Well, as long as I have time, I will definitely go. Chen Xing is a little embarrassed. Just now, he wanted to give away all the tickets Zhang Xin sent to others. If Shao Huadong didn't ask for only five tickets, he wouldn't even have the tickets if he wanted to go. Of course, with his power as the mayor, he can get the tickets from other channels even if he needs them at the last minute. But Zhang Xin gave him the tickets with good intentions, so Chen Xing doesn't want to hurt her.
Well, then I look forward to seeing you that day.
… …
When he hung up the phone, Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Perhaps he should be happy for his luck with women when a superstar was so proactive and submissive. However, having too many love debts was not the same thing. At this moment, Chen Xing felt a little pained and happy at the same time, even though he had not seen her for a long time.
Although he hasn't seen her for a long time, Chen Xing has to admit that the more famous Zhang Xin is, the more beautiful she seems to be. Perhaps it has something to do with her dressing up, but Zhang Xin herself is a rare beauty. The entertainment circle is a place where there are many handsome men and beautiful women, and Zhang Xin can be considered one of the best. Her classic beauty undoubtedly makes her stand out from the masses.
After the phone call with Zhang Xin, Chen Xing doesn't think about this matter anymore. There are still a lot of documents on the table waiting for him to go through.
Near dusk, Chen Xing comes out of the office. He doesn't plan to go out today, but he has finished reviewing the backlog of documents he has accumulated over the past few days. In fact, some documents don't need to be reviewed, but the situation of this country is the same. There are a lot of relevant procedures and processes. Without the signature of the top leader, many things can't be done.
As the car drives on the streets of the city, Chen Xing silently watches the scene outside the car window. The impact of the heavy rain a week ago seems to have disappeared without a trace. When the government really concentrates on one thing, the speed and efficiency it produces are amazing. The clean streets are as noisy and prosperous as usual. It is hard to imagine that the streets here were full of garbage and mosquitoes, and the streets of the city were all flooded.
The Waterfront Heaven and Earth Hotel is located in the commercial city near the University of Nanzhou. Because of the gathering effect of universities here, the surrounding commercial prosperity and development have been driven. Although it is not in the city center, it is also an extremely prosperous area in the city.
Tonight's dinner with Wang Rongyan is set at the Waterfront Hotel. When Chen Xing arrived at the hotel, there are still ten minutes before the agreed time. At this moment, the phone rings. Chen Xing takes it out and sees that it is Wang Rongyan calling. A smile appears on his face. He thinks that Wang Rongyan has already arrived one step ahead of him and called to ask if he has arrived.
Secretary Wang. Chen Xing picks up the phone and takes the initiative to greet him with a smile.
Chen Xing, are you here yet? Oh, I'm really sorry tonight. I was about to arrive at the hotel when I suddenly received a call. The people in the province want me to go. Chen Xing, sorry, I don't have time tonight. Wang Rongyan's voice comes from the phone.
Chen Xing is a little dazed. He has arrived, but Wang Rongyan suddenly calls and says he is not free?
When he comes back to his senses in an instant, Chen Xing responds with a smile, Secretary Wang, if you have something to do, you should go first. The province called at the last minute to ask you to go. I am afraid it is urgent. Secretary Wang, don't delay.
Yes, I am on my way to the province now. Chen Xing, I am really sorry.
The two of them exchange a few more polite words on the phone. When Chen Xing hangs up the phone, he looks at the time. It is almost six o 'clock. His expression is thoughtful. At this time, the leaders in the province will suddenly summon Wang Rongyan?
Heh, if this person gets rich … Chen Xing's face shows a playful smile.
Chen Xing doesn't want to speculate anymore. In fact, some clues can be seen from Wang Rongyan's attitude. If there is really something, when Wang Rongyan apologizes, he will definitely take the initiative to set another time to meet again. But Wang Rongyan doesn't say anything.
Chen Xing still remembers that Wang Rongyan, the Party Committee Secretary of the University of Nanzhou, was put in a difficult position by the cadres in the district because of the expansion of the university's land. A dignified Party Committee Secretary of a key university enjoys the treatment of the deputy ministerial level, but he has to listen to the feelings of some divisional cadres. He has no choice but to come to find him. Now … Haha, people are unpredictable.
Xiao Li, go back. Chen Xing orders the driver, Li Yong.
Chen Xing's car turns around and leaves. What Chen Xing doesn't know is that in a VIP suite on the eighth floor of the hotel, Wang Rongyan is holding a cup of tea, leisurely standing in front of the window and drinking tea, watching Chen Xing's car slowly go away.
You sent away a mayor so casually. Aren't you afraid that he will be suspicious? Behind him, a pair of snow-white arms stretch out from under Wang Rongyan's arms and hug him.
Let him think what he wants to think. Wang Rongyan smiled indifferently and pulled the girl behind him to the front. He stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek. "Didn't I waste time with you? I can only send him away." Wang Rongyan said with a smile.
You're so annoying. It's not too late if you take a shower now. I think you don't want to see him. The woman smiled and rolled her eyes at Wang Rongyan.
My appointment as the Governor's Assistant was finalized in the past two days. I also inquired about some information. Chen Xing is not very favored by the Governor Shun Baolai. As for me, naturally, there is no need to be too close to Chen Xing. Wang Rongyan curls his lips.
If Chen Xing is here, he will recognize this woman as his former colleague from the Department of Higher Education, the Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education, Lin Yupei.
Today, Lin Yupei specially flew over from the capital to find Wang Rongyan.
Rongyan, I want to be transferred to Nanzhou. How about you help me get a real position? Lin Yupei suddenly said, staring at Wang Rongyan. This was the real purpose of her visit. She was still the Deputy Director of the Office of the Department of Higher Education. In the past, with Wang Rongyan as the Director, she had been able to do well in the office and had hopes. Now that Deputy Director Chen Danying had taken over, as the two flowers that were often compared secretly in the Department of Higher Education, the vague hostility between them meant that Chen Danying would not like her. Lin Yupei's life had also become difficult. Without a backer, one could imagine her situation in the Department of Higher Education.
If Chen Danying did not disdain to deal with her, she would not even be able to keep her position as the Deputy Director. However, even if Chen Danying did not say anything, which of the people below was not smart? Everyone was observant. She, the Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education, had long been pushed to the edge. There were many people who wanted to step on her.
Wang Rongyan pondered and did not say anything. It was not particularly difficult to move Lin Yupei, but he had just become the provincial governor's assistant, so Wang Rongyan undoubtedly wanted to keep a low profile.
Rongyan, at least say something. Look, I just casually said something, and you're not saying anything. You really disappoint me. I even specially flew over from the capital to see you. Lin Yupei's small mouth curled up.
Tsk, I was just thinking about it. Wang Rongyan rolled his eyes. He clearly knew that she also wanted to use him, but wasn't this how things between men and women were? You and I were willing, and each took what they needed. He obtained satisfaction from Lin Yupei, so he naturally understood that he had to pay a corresponding price. Moreover, the two of them had been secretly in love for a long time. Wang Rongyan was also reluctant to part with this beautiful woman in front of him.
She was unhappy in the department, so she wanted to come over and keep him company. Besides, she could also take care of him nearby. Lin Yupei continued to launch her attacks. She knew that Wang Rongyan's wife did not come over, and she did not want to continue staying in the department to be bullied. Coming out was the best choice.
I'll help you keep an eye out. As long as there's an opportunity, I'll help you move around. If you want a real position, it's not like you can just say there is. There has to be a good vacancy and a good opportunity to move around. Wang Rongyan comforted her. When the woman in front of him began to act coquettishly, Wang Rongyan's bones softened a bit and he immediately agreed. If the two of them were both in Nanzhou, it would indeed be more convenient to be together.
