Chen Xing and Tan Zheng had a relaxing and pleasant meal. The only thing that Chen Xing regretted was that Tan Zheng was going to be transferred away. The person who would replace him might be Ge Jian-ming. Chen Xing really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
It was rare to have such a relaxing meal with Tan Zheng. Chen Xing also cherished such an opportunity. Tan Zheng's transfer didn't mean that they wouldn't cross paths in the future. On the contrary, Tan Zheng, who was transferred to the central government, might be able to reach a higher level in the future. For Chen Xing, Tan Zheng was undoubtedly more worth making friends with. Their current relationship was also a kind of personal investment.
After the meal, they moved to the teahouse. Tan Zheng had been working in Nanhai Province for almost five years. This time, he was going to be transferred away. Tan Zheng was also very emotional. Although he wasn't from Nanhai, he had worked in the same place for five years. He would have feelings for everyone.
After this transfer, there would be very few opportunities to come back in the future. Tan Zheng lightly tasted the fragrant tea and smiled. This place is beautiful. I love the spring water here the most. It has a unique charm when making tea.
In the future, every time I come to the capital, I won't bring anything but a large bucket of spring water. I'll bring it to Secretary Tan's house. Chen Xing replied with a smile.
Carrying a large bucket of water? What would that look like? Tan Zheng smiled and waved his hand. But it was obvious that Chen Xing's words made him feel comfortable. His laughter was particularly carefree.
As long as Secretary Tan likes the spring water here, I'll really bring it over.
Well, let's not talk about this. I wouldn't dare to let you, the mayor, carry a bucket of water to the capital. Tan Zheng smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. How could Tan Zheng not see that Chen Xing's words were intended to flatter him? His support for Chen Xing was not in vain.
In fact, personal investment was often mutual. Chen Xing intended to be friendly to him. He also saw Chen Xing's future potential and Chen Xing's Zhang family background. Therefore, he was willing to invest in Chen Xing. Although this investment was still limited, it was already a kind of attitude he had shown.
Chen Xing, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something. Tan Zheng suddenly said.
Oh? Secretary Tan, feel free to speak your mind. Chen Xing was slightly startled, but he replied straightforwardly. The more Tan Zheng treated him like an outsider, the happier Chen Xing was.
I have a friend who runs a small business in Nanzhou. When I leave, I'll have to trouble you, Chen Xing, to take care of him. Tan Zheng smiled.
So that's what it was. Chen Xing nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, Secretary Tan. Since you've given the order, I won't dare to disobey."
I'll give him a call and ask him to come over. Tan Zheng looked at Chen Xing and smiled.
Chen Xing didn't say much. Although he seemed to agree readily on the surface, he actually had some doubts in his heart. He didn't know the background and background of the person Tan Zheng asked him to take care of, and what kind of business he was doing. If he casually agreed to Tan Zheng's request, it was really not his usual style. If the other party was doing illegal business and asked him to take care of him, wouldn't it be a pain in the ass? However, after all, Chen Xing chose to believe in Tan Zheng. Just now, he didn't show any hesitation. Chen Xing was more or less unwilling to let the good momentum of the relationship between the two of them be affected.
It seemed that after all, this person couldn't escape the big net of worldly wisdom. Tan Zheng was the dignified Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but he was also no exception. Chen Xing said in his heart. Because Tan Zheng had always given him the impression that he was a relatively upright person, it was inevitable that Chen Xing would be surprised when Tan Zheng asked him to take care of a friend. However, thinking about it, it made sense. His contact with Tan Zheng was mostly about work, so he didn't know much about Tan Zheng in private.
After Tan Zheng made the call, the two of them continued to chat casually. After about 20 minutes, a middle-aged fat man who looked to be in his forties and a beautiful young woman walked in. The woman looked to be in her thirties, but her skin was so soft and white that it made people couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Secretary Tan. As soon as the middle-aged fat man saw Tan Zheng, he immediately smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. The fat on both sides of his cheeks jiggled. It was extremely comical.
Yes, he's here. This is Mayor Chen. I think you should recognize him. Tan Zheng only nodded slightly at him, then pointed at Chen Xing.
He recognized him, of course he recognized him. He had long heard of Mayor Chen's name, but had never had the chance to meet him. Today, thanks to Secretary Tan, he finally had the honor to meet him. The middle-aged fat man quickly turned to Chen Xing and nodded at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing also nodded at the man. He listened to Tan Zheng's introduction. His name was Deng Erming, and Mayor Chen could call him Second Brother Deng.
Chen Xing looked back at Tan Zheng. From the way Tan Zheng addressed him, he could tell that the two of them had a close relationship. However, when he thought about the fact that Tan Zheng specifically asked him to take care of him before he left, he knew that the relationship between the two of them was not ordinary.
Second Brother Deng, take a seat. Why are you still standing? Why? Do you think you can still grow taller? Tan Zheng smiled.
Secretary Tan, you must be joking. I don't dare to expect my fat to grow vertically. As long as it doesn't grow horizontally. Deng Erming smiled bitterly.
Brother Deng, if your fat continues to grow horizontally, I don't think you'll be able to wear any clothes. The woman next to Deng Erming suddenly interrupted. Her voice was as sweet as her voice.
Nonsense, I'm not that fat. Deng Erming pretended to be annoyed.
Alright, I'm not talking nonsense. The woman smiled. As she smiled, the whole room seemed to light up.
Tan Zheng seemed to know the woman as well. He smiled and said, "Xiao Qing, are you with Second Brother Deng tonight?
Second Brother Deng's hands were itchy again. He couldn't get enough mahjong, so he dragged me over. I lost tens of thousands just now. Fortunately, Secretary Tan, you called in time. Otherwise, with my bad luck tonight, I would probably continue to lose. " The woman smiled.
Tens of thousands of yuan is just one or two clothes for you. Xiao Qing, if you say that you feel heartache, I won't believe it even if you beat me to death. Deng Erming said with a smile.
Listening to the conversation between the three of them, Chen Xing roughly understood that Tan Zheng and the two people in front of him were very familiar with each other. As for how close their relationship was, out of respect for Tan Zheng, Chen Xing didn't want to guess.
Mayor Chen, Second Brother Deng was in the building materials business. He was the one who invested in Shunming Building Materials City. He was a relatively honest person. Tan Zheng turned to look at Chen Xing and said.
Chen Xing nodded. He had never heard of Shunming Building Materials City. However, since Deng Erming could get in touch with Tan Zheng, his business must be big. At this moment, Chen Xing remembered the name of Shunming Building Materials City in his heart.
Second Brother Deng, Mayor Chen is here. Tell me whether your building materials city has evaded taxes or not. Take the initiative to explain to Mayor Chen. If you confess, you'll be lenient. If you resist, you'll be severely punished. Tan Zheng joked.
Secretary Tan, don't. Your words really scared me. Don't you know me? I've always been a law-abiding businessman. I don't dare to do anything dishonest. Deng Erming looked like he was startled.
Chen Xing listened to their conversation and kept a faint smile on his face. Maybe Tan Zheng was just joking, or maybe he deliberately said so in front of him. However, it was very obvious that Tan Zheng was protective of Deng Erming. Maybe this was also an indirect hint from Tan Zheng. Chen Xing had a plan in mind about his attitude towards Deng Erming in the future.
The four of them sat down to chat. Later, Chen Xing learned that the woman was called Zhu Ziqing. Tan Zheng and Deng Erming didn't specifically introduce each other, but the three of them were obviously quite familiar with each other.
Mayor Chen, I heard that the city is planning to build a sports theme park at the junction of Changshi Road and Hongkou Road. As they talked, Zhu Ziqing suddenly asked Chen Xing.
There was such a plan, but it was only one of the urban reconstruction plans submitted by the city planning bureau. Whether it would be built was another matter. Chen Xing said calmly.
Oh, it seemed like the rumors outside weren't true after all. Zhu Ziqing smiled.
Why is Miss Zhu so concerned about this? Chen Xing looked at her in confusion.
There is a stone factory there that my family invested in. If the city really plans to build a park there, my family's factory will have to move. Zhu Ziqing smiled.
Chen Xing suddenly understood. He had a vague impression of what Zhu Ziqing said. It seemed that many nearby residents had been complaining that the stone factory produced too much lime every day, which caused the poor air quality and loud noise, which seriously affected the quality of life of the surrounding residents. However, Changshi Road and Hongkou Road were located in the urban-rural fringe area, which was more difficult to manage. Chen Xing didn't ask about it personally, so he didn't know the specific situation of the stone factory.
If the city really plans to build a park there, you will have to move. Chen Xing smiled.
Of course, we will definitely cooperate with the city. We can't make enough money, so we can't leave the impression that we are a holdout to the government. Zhu Ziqing covered her mouth and chuckled. Besides, we have to respect Mayor Chen.
