In the evening, Chen Xing arrived at the hotel that Lin Yupei had booked. Lin Yupei was already waiting for him in the private room. Chen Xing didn't know when Lin Yupei left the office in the evening. However, judging from Lin Yupei's clothes, it was obvious that she had dressed up meticulously. She was wearing a sky-blue knee-length skirt, a U-shaped collar, and a dazzling white pearl necklace around her neck.
I was really afraid that Mayor Chen wouldn't come. When Lin Yupei saw Chen Xing coming in, the smile on her face suddenly became charming.
"Assistant Lin, do you think that I am a person who breaks my promise?" Chen Xing smiled faintly. After taking a seat, Chen Xing said that he had something to attend to later and would have to leave after the meal. He hoped that Assistant Lin would forgive him.
"Mayor Chen, are you really so busy that you can't even have a free time at night?" Lin Yupei's smile froze. She looked a little unhappy.
"When you become the mayor, you will know whether you are busy or not. Didn't you see the stack of invitations on my desk? There are endless dinners every day." Chen Xing smiled.
"I want to be the mayor, but I don't have that ability. Now, I just want to stay with Mayor Chen and learn more from Mayor Chen. It's a pity that Mayor Chen is not willing to teach me more." Lin Yupei's expression was charming. "Look, even if I want to catch up with Mayor Chen at night, Mayor Chen can't wait to leave."
"Assistant Lin, you misunderstood. I do have something to do later." Chen Xing laughed. He knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts from Lin Yupei. Lin Yupei could more or less see that he was deliberately avoiding her. She didn't want to continue this topic. Chen Xing quickly changed the topic with a smile. "Assistant Lin, you look very beautiful tonight, especially that pearl necklace. It matches your sky-blue skirt very well. When you wear it, your temperament can be seen at once."
Really? Does Mayor Chen also know how to match clothes? Lin Yupei covered her mouth and chuckled. Her smile was particularly pleasant. Women would dress up to please their own men, and no woman would dislike being praised for her beauty. Especially when the person in front of her was Chen Xing, Lin Yupei was undoubtedly happier. This pearl necklace was the one that Wang Rongyan gave her. Lin Yupei loved it so much that she couldn't bear to part with it. If it wasn't for the fact that it was a little ostentatious and didn't match her current cadre status, Lin Yupei would have worn it every day. Tonight, she specially dressed up before wearing it.
I don't have much research. I just felt that it looked good, so I told the truth. Chen Xing smiled.
But when I heard Chen Xing's comments, he was very serious. Lin Yupei giggled.
After ordering a few of the hotel's specialties, Lin Yupei waited for the waiter to serve all the dishes before she got up and closed the door.
Mayor Chen, do you think I should give you a toast first? We haven't had a drink since you left the Department of Higher Education, right? Lin Yupei poured wine for the two of them and looked at Chen Xing with a smile.
You should have a drink, but don't pour too much. Seeing that Lin Yupei was about to fill up the glass, Chen Xing hurriedly stopped her. Drinking would cause trouble, especially when a man and a woman were alone together. Chen Xing didn't want to get drunk later.
I've only been in the Municipal Government for a few days, but I heard that Mayor Chen can hold his liquor well. He always drinks a lot when he drinks with those investors. Lin Yupei glanced at Chen Xing.
That's all nonsense from the people below. Do you think you can believe the nonsense that's being spread in the organization? Chen Xing smiled faintly. He could hold his liquor well, but that was only used when it was necessary.
Well, Mayor Chen doesn't want to drink too much, so I won't force you. I'll just give you a toast. Lin Yupei smiled and raised her glass. Cheers, Mayor Chen.
Chen Xing nodded slightly, raised his glass, and took a sip of wine.
Mayor Chen, you seem to take good care of Li Xiaoying? Lin Yupei put down the glass and suddenly smiled.
Chen Xing was stunned.
He didn't expect that Lin Yupei would suddenly say such a thing. He was a little surprised.
"It's not that I take care of you. The people in the office come and go all day. I have a little impression of them. Li Xiaoying is a postgraduate student at the Capital University. I have a deeper impression of her. She is a very capable person." Chen Xing smiled without batting an eyelid. He was secretly surprised by a woman's intuition. No one in the office knew that Li Xiaoying was arranged by him, but Lin Yupei had sensed it the moment she arrived. Could it be that women really had a sixth sense?
I didn't expect Mayor Chen to pay so much attention to her. She was just an ordinary contract worker. Mayor Chen knew that her ability was not outstanding. Lin Yupei curled her lips. It was just a casual mention of her. Obviously, she didn't want to spoil the mood by mentioning a woman who made her a little unhappy at this time. Perhaps it was a woman's jealousy. Lin Yupei inexplicably felt some hostility towards her young and beautiful Li Xiaoying.
As she spoke, Lin Yupei had already sat next to Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, the new inpatient building of the First Hospital of the City will be held the day after tomorrow. Will you attend?
You and Deputy Mayor Tong can attend. Chen Xing looked at Lin Yupei and said. The Deputy Mayor Tong he mentioned was Tong Zhengkai, who was in charge of industry and commerce, health and other fields.
Hearing this, Lin Yupei's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, but she didn't say anything. She smiled. Mayor Chen, you really don't want to drink more?
No, I have something to do later. Chen Xing shook his head and frowned slightly. The heavy perfume smell on Lin Yupei drifted over. Her body was already close to his. Chen Xing raised his arm without a trace and coughed slightly. Assistant Lin, you and the old leader Wang Rongyan should be in frequent contact, right? Why did you ask the old leader to come over tonight? We have worked together before, so it should be more fun together.
Lin Yupei's face slightly stiffened, and her eyes were fixed on Chen Xing's face. Lin Yupei didn't know whether Chen Xing mentioned Wang Rongyan on purpose, but it was obvious that this was an ambiguous time. Chen Xing suddenly mentioned Wang Rongyan, which made her look a little uncomfortable. If Wang Rongyan knew that she had the intention to hook up with Chen Xing, it would be a loss for her. She still wanted to rely on Wang Rongyan to promote her position as the Mayor's Assistant to the Deputy Office.
Mayor Chen, why did you mention him? Tonight, just the two of us can have a good chat. If you want to invite him next time, we can arrange another time. Anyway, we are all in Nanzhou, so there are many opportunities. Lin Yupei smiled.
There's no time like the present. Why don't I give him a call now? I think he should be happy to come over. Chen Xing smiled and pretended to take out his phone.
"No, no, Mayor Chen." Lin Yupei looked anxious. Seeing that Chen Xing's smile was a little unusual, Lin Yupei smiled awkwardly. "Mayor Chen, I think we should invite the old leader another day. Let's come out and catch up. Let's forget about it tonight.
"Oh, I see. Assistant Lin's look is a little strange. I thought something had happened." Chen Xing smiled.
"Nothing. Mayor Chen thought too much." Lin Yupei smiled unnaturally and gave Chen Xing a helpless look with hidden bitterness. "Mayor Chen.
"Don't you think you are so insensitive?"
Chen Xing pursed his lips. It wasn't that he didn't know how to flirt, but he didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Yupei at all. Moreover, given Lin Yupei's character, Chen Xing was worried that she would cause trouble for him if something were to happen between the two of them.
In the silence, Chen Xing's phone rang. Looking at the number, Chen Xing was slightly stunned. "Wu Gang?" They were both very busy and hadn't contacted each other for a long time.
"Chen Xing, have you heard? Zeng Jing's husband passed away." Wu Gang said on the phone.
"Her husband passed away? "What happened?" Chen Xing was stunned.
"I heard that he died in the line of duty while handling a case. I don't know the details. I'm on my way to the city now. Anyway, we were so close at that time. Her family had such a big accident, and I'm in Jiang City. It would be unreasonable if I didn't go and have a look." Wu Gang said.
"Died in the line of duty?" Chen Xing murmured to himself. He still had an impression of Zeng Jing's husband. He had a buzz cut, dark skin, and a strong image. He didn't expect that he would die so young.
That's what I heard. I thought that you and Zeng Jing have a good relationship, so I called you to inform you about it. Wu Gang said.
"Okay, Wu Gang, thank you. I'll call her myself." Chen Xing nodded.
"Don't stand on ceremony. Chen Xing, that's all. I'm on my way to the city." Wu Gang smiled. Thanks to Chen Xing, he could now become the County Magistrate of Kaiyuan County under the jurisdiction of Jiang City. He treated Chen Xing like a brother.
