After work in the evening, Chen Xing didn't let the driver drive, but left alone. In a quiet road not far from the Municipal Government, Chen Xing parked the car on the side of the road and raised his hand to look at the time from time to time.
Not long after, outside the car window, someone gently knocked on the glass. Chen Xing looked back and saw Li Xiaoying. He opened the door and motioned for her to get in.
"What would you like to eat tonight, Miss Li? It's my treat." Chen Xing smiled.
"I'm fine with anything. It's already an honor for Mayor Chen to treat me. I don't dare to be picky." Li Xiaoying smiled faintly.
Chen Xing smiled slightly and glanced at Li Xiaoying from the rearview mirror. It was not difficult to see that Li Xiaoying still had a knot in her heart about the handling of Lin Yupei's matter today.
After starting the car, Chen Xing went to the Jindu Hotel. After driving for a while, he asked. What's the matter? Do you still have some doubts in your heart? Do you think I didn't protect you?
No. Li Xiaoying shook her head.
It was easy to see a woman's duplicity. Chen Xing smiled. "Miss Li, Zhang Ming said that you are from Nanzhou. You came back to Nanzhou hoping to work in a government unit. He said that you are more interested in politics?
Well, I am interested in politics, otherwise I wouldn't have come back. " Li Xiaoying nodded.
"Since you are more interested in politics and hope to develop in the officialdom, you should understand that contradicting your superiors is burying your own future in order to survive in the officialdom." Chen Xing said seriously.
"But today's matter, I was clearly wrong. She turned around and hit me. When I found out that the water was splashed on her, I apologized, but she didn't forgive me. That's why I was so angry." Li Xiaoying explained, her eyes full of grievances. "Even if I am just an ordinary staff, I am also a human, and human beings have self-esteem."
That's right, as long as you're a human, you have self-esteem, but it depends on which circle you're in. If you want to survive in the circle of the system, then let me tell you, the so-called self-esteem is the most worthless thing that can be trampled by others at any time. When you don't have the qualifications and background to protect your self-esteem, you can only choose to give up your self-esteem. Self-esteem can be valuable, but it can also be worthless.
"Does Mayor Chen think that people should have no self-esteem and backbone?" "Does Mayor Chen think that people should have no self-esteem and backbone?"
That's not what I meant. People can't have no backbone, and they can't have no self-respect, but they have to know how to judge the situation and endure humiliation. Since you're interested in politics and want to have a career in the officialdom in the future, do you think you can still stay if you talk back to your superior like you did today, no matter how wronged you are? Director Xiao knows that I'm the one who arranged for you to come here, so he's already biased towards you. He's also verbally defending you. If it weren't for this layer of relationship, think about it yourself. Would today's incident still end up like this? Chen Xing said calmly.
After a pause, Chen Xing continued, "Even if you have an official establishment, you will still be transferred. Moreover, you are only a contract worker now. No matter how wronged you are, the only result today is that you will be fired. I think since you are a top student of the Capital University, your IQ and EQ must not be bad. You should understand what I mean."
After saying that, Chen Xing turned to look at Li Xiaoying. Seeing that Li Xiaoying was indeed silent and thinking about his words, Chen Xing nodded slightly. People who were perceptive often didn't need to be lectured too much.
Mayor Chen, I understand. Thank you. After a long time, Li Xiaoying opened her mouth slowly. Whether she was willing to accept it or not, she knew that what Chen Xing said was right. Chen Xing didn't say anything to protect her, but in fact, he had given her the greatest protection. Without Chen Xing, Li Xiaoying might really face the fate of being fired.
"You don't need to thank me. It's good that you can think it through. Zhang Ming asked me to take care of you. I am busy with work, so I don't give you special care usually. However, if you want to develop in the officialdom, I have made it very clear just now. Only by grinding away your personality can you better adapt to this system." Chen Xing said calmly. "To the superior, you can only obey. Even if you don't want to do it, you can't show it in front of them. You can think of a way to change it privately."
"Mayor Chen, I understand. Thank you for your teachings." Li Xiaoying nodded. Since she started working in the office, this was the first time that Chen Xing contacted her in private. Li Xiaoying knew that if it wasn't because of what happened today, Chen Xing might not have asked her out alone. At this time, Li Xiaoying didn't know whether it was a blessing in disguise, but she was clear that Chen Xing didn't give her face, but he gave Zhang Ming face.
When the car arrived at Jindu Hotel, Chen Xing went straight to the private room where he usually had meals. He asked the waiter to serve a few common dishes. Chen Xing smiled and invited Li Xiaoying to take a seat. "After you came to Nanzhou, I haven't treated you to a meal. Speaking of which, I didn't treat you well. Today is a good day, I just treat you as a welcome dinner."
"Mayor Chen, please don't say that. I'm here to work. Mayor Chen, please don't say that. I don't deserve it." Li Xiaoying hurriedly stood up with a humble attitude.
Chen Xing looked at Li Xiaoying up and down without batting an eyelid. He secretly nodded in his heart. This little lover of his brother-in-law was sensible and sensible. She was not arrogant and domineering, which was also a good point. The key was that she was obedient. Otherwise, Chen Xing would have a bigger headache. She was not bad now.
"Mayor Chen, I will sign up for the national examination next month." Li Xiaoying sat and suddenly said.
"It's not a bad idea to sign up for the examination. Now the only way to get authorized is to take the examination. But I believe in your ability. I also helped you find out that there are several positions in the Municipal Government Office that will recruit people this year. Two positions require a master's degree to apply for, so the competition will be relatively small. I think it won't be too big a problem for you." Chen Xing nodded and said.
"I believe in my ability. I just hope that after I pass the examination, Mayor Chen can take care of me in the future." Li Xiaoying said solemnly.
Chen Xing nodded slightly. With Zhang Ming's help, he couldn't ignore her.
While they were sitting, someone knocked on the door. It was Huang Ming who came in. Seeing that it was a young woman invited by Chen Xing, Huang Ming was slightly stunned and then said with a smile. "Mayor Chen is holding a banquet for a distinguished guest. Is it convenient for me to come in?
Even if it is not convenient, you are already in, right? " Chen Xing shook his head and said with a smile. Huang Ming always called him by his title when there were outsiders in the room.
"Mayor Chen, who is this distinguished guest?" Huang Ming looked at Li Xiaoying curiously.
"I am a small clerk working for Mayor Chen. I am not a distinguished guest." Li Xiaoying had already stood up with a smile and nodded politely to Huang Ming.
"Really? Nice to meet you." Huang Ming said with a smile. His face was full of disbelief. He turned to look at Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, Huang Ming didn't bother to ask more. When he heard that Chen Xing had come, he hurried downstairs. He had something to discuss with Chen Xing.
"Mayor Chen, I need to go to the washroom first." Li Xiaoying said with a smile.
Chen Xing nodded. Seeing that Li Xiaoying had left, Huang Ming sat down and said ambiguously, "Chen Xing, what a beautiful woman. Where did you find her?"
"Look at your dirty thoughts." Chen Xing rolled his eyes and glanced at Huang Ming. "What do you want from me?"
"Yes, I have something to tell you." Huang Ming nodded and glanced at the door. After making sure that Li Xiaoying had gone out and closed the door, he said, "Chen Xing, I heard that the largest theme park in the city is going to be built on Changshi Road?"
"It's not just a rumor. It's confirmed." Chen Xing looked at Huang Ming. "Why? What do you want?"
"Changxing Road is developing very fast now. It will definitely have great potential in the future. Moreover, it's a bit far from the city center. I want to buy a piece of land there and develop real estate." Huang Ming voiced out his thoughts.
"Real estate? Old Duan, with your capital, you won't be able to handle real estate. When the time comes, there will definitely be problems. I don't recommend you to get involved in this. " Chen Xing looked at Huang Ming and shook his head solemnly.
"I can't handle it myself, but others have the capital. To tell you the truth, Sha Yuanbao is upstairs now. He also wants to come down to see you, but I'm not sure if you want to see him, so I came down to take a look." Huang Ming smiled.
"Sha Yuanbao?" "Hey, is he that interested in Nanzhou?" Chen Xing smiled. He hadn't seen the richest man in Hai City for a while.
"Isn't that how business is? Wherever there are business opportunities, you go. Besides, maybe because you're the mayor of Nanzhou, he's more interested in investing in Nanzhou. Besides, you haven't even arrived in Nanzhou, but he's already here to investigate." Huang Ming smiled.
"Huang Ming, you don't even have enough capital to run a hotel right now. If you want to get involved in real estate, be careful that you won't be able to eat a big fat man. Be content." Chen Xing shook his head.
"If I don't have enough capital, I can mortgage the hotel to get a bank loan." Huang Ming smiled. Sha Yuanbao had a lot of capital. There would definitely be no problem cooperating with him.
Mortgage the hotel? Lu Xiaojing would agree? Chen Xing was a little surprised.
Men were in charge of their careers. She had to agree even if she didn't want to. Huang Ming smiled.
