Sunday, Nanzhou City Stadium. The concert that was about to be held here tonight made the city stadium seem particularly lively. It wasn't even evening yet, but the parking spaces outside the stadium were nearly full. Many people who came later could only look for parking elsewhere.
For tonight's concert, the city bus company temporarily added a few extra buses to the stadium. The buses would operate until the end of the concert for the convenience of the fans who came to watch the concert. The most important thing was to relieve the traffic pressure on the roads around the stadium.
Chen Xing also received a call from Zhang Xin in the evening. Zhang Xin had just finished rehearsing. She didn't want to call Chen Xing, but she couldn't hold back her anticipation.
Are you coming tonight? Zhang Xin's voice was a little breathless.
I'll go when I have time. Chen Xing smiled. He had already planned to go, but it was better to leave the surprise for last.
Zhang Xin was a little disappointed, but still forced a smile. Well, I hope you come.
After hanging up, Chen Xing took out the remaining five VIP room tickets from the drawer. He had heard Jiang Wan say she was going to the concert, but he forgot to ask if she had bought the tickets.
He looked at the time. It was time to go to the concert. After thinking for a while, he called Jiang Wan. He found out that Jiang Wan was with Chu Rong and He Li. The three women planned to go to the concert together, and they had booked the front row tickets together.
Hearing that all three of them were going, Chen Xing shook his head. This woman was really interested in this kind of thing.
When the three women confirmed that Chen Xing was also going to the concert, they all cheered. He Li immediately said that he wanted to wait for Chen Xing. They were just about to leave anyway. Chen Xing heard this and hurriedly asked the three of them to leave first. If he wasn't the mayor, it wouldn't be a big deal for a man like him to go to the concert with three women. The point was that he was the mayor, and there were always some bad habits in the officialdom. If he, a mayor, was seen alone with a few women, there would be no lack of gossip.
After some thought, Chen Xing called Huang Ming and Zhang Ruoming and asked them to come along. He dragged Huang Ming, who was accompanying his wife, and Zhang Ruoming, who hadn't gotten off work, to the concert.
When Huang Ming heard that they were going to watch a concert, he brought his wife along. Zhang Ruoming was no exception. He brought his wife and son along. It was rare for them to get off work early, and it was Chen Xing, the mayor, who invited them to watch a concert. Zhang Ruoming took it as a chance to relax with his wife. He called his wife, who was cooking at home, and brought his son along.
Ruo Ming, I say, you're just going to drag your whole family down with you. Huang Ming, who had arrived earlier than Zhang Ruoming, teased him when he saw his old classmate with his wife and child.
"Old Huang, don't make fun of me. I think you're ready to be a father. You're already married to Miss Lu. Why don't you hurry up and make a baby?" Zhang Ruoming smiled.
Alright, since everyone's here, let's all get in the car. Ruo Ming, I don't think you need to drive your QQ. Everyone will sit in Huang Ming's car. Chen Xing smiled. He had specially asked Huang Ming to drive a seven-seater Buick business car over. It was convenient for everyone to sit together.
Zhang Ruoming agreed. He found a parking space nearby and parked his car. He got into Huang Ming's car. After getting in the car, he even joked with Chen Xing, "Chen Xing, if you hadn't called me today, I'd probably have to work overtime again."
You're so busy as a section chief? Chen Xing turned to look at Zhang Ruoming.
"Actually, I don't have to be so busy. But you asked me to keep a close eye on the situation in the finance department. There are some things that I can let go of, and I don't dare to be careless. So, as a section chief, I've become the busiest person in the whole department." Zhang Ruoming smiled bitterly.
"It's been hard on you." Chen Xing was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly. He had transferred Zhang Ruoming from the statistics department to the finance department. It seemed like he had given Zhang Ruoming a better future, but in fact, it had increased the pressure on Zhang Ruoming's work. After some thought, he said, "Ruoming, you don't have to be so tired. Zhou Fangyu doesn't dare to mess around anymore. You can relax a little.
I'm just afraid that I'll let you down. " Zhang Ruoming smiled. Although his current work was a little tiring, he was more passionate than when he was working in the statistics department. To be honest, he had a better future. If it was someone else, they might be secretly happy. I don't feel tired at all.
I'm just afraid that your wife will blame me. Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Zhang Ruoming's wife. He didn't have much contact with Zhang Ruoming's wife. At this time, she was very reserved in the car. She was sitting in the back row with her child.
How could that be? My wife can't thank you enough. Don't you think so, honey? Zhang Ruoming turned to look at his wife, Li Qing.
Men, of course, put their careers first. Li Qing's face was a little red. Although she knew that the mayor in front of her was her husband's university classmate, they hadn't interacted before. Li Qing still couldn't let it go. She had an instinctive reverence when facing a leader.
"Ruoming, you're the section chief of the finance department now. When are you going to change that broken QQ of yours? At least get a better car." Huang Ming, who was driving, teased.
I want to change to an Audi, but the problem is that I don't have money. Old Huang, you're a tycoon. When will you sponsor me? Zhang Ruoming smiled.
Sure, no problem. If you really want to change to an Audi, just tell me how much money you need. We're brothers.
Borrowing money to buy a car is fine, but I don't want to embarrass myself. Zhang Ruoming smiled.
You brat, I said I'm borrowing money from you. If you don't pay me back, I won't chase after you to collect the debt. Huang Ming laughed.
Chen Xing listened to the two university classmates chatting and joking. It was as if he had returned to his university days. Back then, they were just chatting and joking without any worries. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Ruoming's child could already do soy sauce. He and Huang Ming had also entered the marriage hall. His child was about to be born.
Thinking of his wife who was far away in the capital, Chen Xing couldn't help but miss her. Although they weren't as clingy as they were when they were young, he still missed the days when they were separated more often than not.
Chen Xing. Lu Ming said that Tan Fang had to be sentenced first. After a period of time, she would be released for medical treatment. That was the safest method. Huang Ming suddenly said.
Chen Xing was stunned. He didn't expect Huang Ming to suddenly mention this. Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Since Lu Ming said so, let's do as he said. Don't be too greedy. No matter how much Zheng Guangfu deserved to die, Tan Fang poisoned him and killed him on purpose. If they wanted to get him out of jail without any trouble, they would be blatantly trampling on the law."
"Chen Xing, you're right. I think so too." Huang Ming laughed and took a careful look at his wife. He knew that Chen Xing's words were not for him, but for his wife, Lu Xiaojing. When he talked about this with Chen Xing that night, he could see that Chen Xing was going against his will. However, for his sake, Chen Xing still asked them to go to Lu Ming, which could be regarded as an indirect help. His wife still wanted Tan Fang to get him out of jail without any trouble. Just as Chen Xing said, he was too greedy. The reason why he asked just now was actually because of his wife's hint.
…
The atmosphere in the car was silent for a while. Huang Ming realized that Tan Fang's matter might make Chen Xing unhappy, so he didn't continue this topic. At the same time, he winked at his wife, Lu Xiaojing, signaling her not to mention it again.
Lu Xiaojing nodded calmly. Although she looked a little unwilling, she also knew that if it wasn't for Huang Ming, Chen Xing didn't even need to give her any face. It was already very good that she could do this, and it was also because of Huang Ming. Now that Chen Xing said so, if she still didn't know what to do, there must be something wrong with her EQ.
Zhang Ruoming didn't know who Tan Fang was, but seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Zhang Ruoming immediately stood up and said, "Chen Xing, why did you think of going to the concert tonight? It seems that Zhang Xin is really popular recently. Even you, the mayor, went to support her.
It's not about supporting her or not. Let's not be busy with work all day, right? When it's time to relax, we should relax. Civil servants also have the right to relax. " Chen Xing laughed. "Look, if I didn't call you, you would still be working overtime, leaving your wife and child out in the cold.
Hehe, it seems that I've benefited from Zhang Xin tonight. Otherwise, I don't know when the mayor will personally invite me to the concert. " Zhang Ruoming laughed.
Ruoming, what you said is wrong. At work, we have a superior and subordinate relationship, but in private, we are still classmates. Chen Xing laughed.
Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, I should reflect on it. Zhang Ruoming laughed. It wasn't often that he had the chance to talk to Chen Xing like this.
Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ruoming helplessly. They used to be classmates, but now there was some distance between them because of the strict hierarchy in the government. Although he didn't want to see this happen, Chen Xing knew that it was unavoidable. There was no industry with a stricter hierarchy than the government. He was the mayor, and Zhang Ruoming was only a section-level official. It would be strange if Zhang Ruoming could joke around with him without any scruples.
Not to mention Zhang Ruoming, even Huang Ming, who wasn't in the government, would have to be careful when talking to him now. It showed how much influence one's identity had on one's interpersonal relationships.
When the car arrived at the stadium, there were no more parking spaces outside. Chen Xing and Zhang Ruoming's family went in first. Poor Huang Ming had to drive around to find a parking space.
Tsk tsk, this must be the best VIP room. Chen Xing, as the mayor, you really have your ways. As soon as Zhang Ruoming entered the room, he sighed in admiration.
Chen Xing smiled. He couldn't explain that it was given to him by Zhang Xin herself.
As soon as Chen Xing entered the room, Zhang Feng, who had been paying attention to the VIP rooms, immediately saw him. He, who was a little listless, immediately became energetic and went backstage without saying anything. His sister was doing her makeup backstage to prepare for the concert, and he was sent to see if Chen Xing would come to the concert. Zhang Xin told her brother the room numbers of the ten VIP rooms that she gave to Chen Xing. If Chen Xing came, he would only be in one of the ten rooms. Therefore, Zhang Feng had been waiting in the corridor. Seeing that different people entered each room, Zhang Feng no longer had any hope. He thought to himself that Chen Xing must have given the tickets to someone else. As a mayor, how could he come to the concert in person?
However, Zhang Feng also felt lucky that he didn't leave in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know that Chen Xing had come.
As soon as he saw Chen Xing, Zhang Feng didn't rush to greet him. Instead, he went backstage to tell his sister.
He's coming, he's coming. Before Zhang Feng arrived, his voice came first.
Is he here? A trace of surprise flashed across Zhang Xin's eyes.
He's here, and he even brought a friend. Zhang Feng smiled. He didn't say Chen Xing's name directly. His sister was a superstar. If he said it casually, Chen Xing's name would be linked to his sister's name tomorrow, and then it would be on the gossip news. There were other people in the makeup room backstage.
Was it a man or a woman? Obviously, Zhang Xin was more concerned about this question.
There were men and women, and also children. Zhang Feng thought for a while and said.
What men and women? At this moment, a voice came from outside the door. First, a large bouquet of roses appeared, and then a figure appeared behind it.
When Zhang Xin saw that it was Ye Chengfeng, his face changed, but then he tried to squeeze a smile.
Xiao Xin, I wish you a successful concert tonight in advance. Ye Chengfeng smiled in a very gentlemanly manner, and held a bouquet of custom-made roses in front of Zhang Xin.
Young Master Ye, thank you, thank you. Zhang Feng smiled and took a step forward to take the flowers for his sister. He knew that if he didn't come forward, his sister might not take the flowers. At that time, it would embarrass Ye Chengfeng.
Ye Chengfeng glanced at Zhang Feng. He was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Feng for taking the flowers. However, the other party was Zhang Xin's brother, so Ye Chengfeng couldn't say anything. He just continued to ask what he had said just now. Zhang Feng, what did you say just now about men and women?
No, nothing, it was just nonsense. Zhang Feng smiled. Last time, Ye Chengfeng showed hostility to Chen Xing, so Zhang Feng didn't want to cause more trouble. Although he believed that if Ye Chengfeng knew Chen Xing's identity, he wouldn't dare to do anything stupid, but he still wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible.
After Chen Xing arrived at the box, he called He Li and the other girls. The three of them only booked the VIP tickets in the front row. There was no other reason. Only a few VIP tickets were taken by Zhang Xin, and the rest were given to some high-ranking officials and nobles by the organizers, so ordinary people couldn't buy them.
As soon as He Li and the other girls heard that Chen Xing had a VIP ticket, they immediately came over. Besides the three of them, there were two other girls. One of them was a young woman in her thirties, who seemed to be about the same age as Chu Rong. At first glance, it was obvious that they were from rich families. Both of them were well-maintained, and they were no less beautiful than Chu Rong. One of them was even more beautiful than Chu Rong.
He Li thought, "This gentleman looks so familiar. Have I seen him somewhere before?" The girl, who was thought by Chen Xing to be more beautiful than Chu Rong, glanced at Chen Xing, and a light flashed in her eyes. Soon, it disappeared. She asked He Li with a smile, but she kept glancing at Chen Xing.
If you read the news often, of course you would find him familiar. He Li covered her mouth and chuckled.
"What do you mean?" He Li thought, "Are you still playing riddles with me?" The girl's eyes lit up.
