At night, Nanzhou was filled with the hustle and bustle of the city. There were endless streams of traffic and bright lights. With the focus of support from the province and the geographical advantage of Nanzhou City, this provincial capital city on the southern coast had begun to take the shape of a metropolis. In recent years, Nanzhou City had been developing at an economic growth rate of more than ten percent every year, which was staggering. The increasingly prosperous Nanzhou City might gradually show some effects on the economic radiation of the surrounding cities.
In the private room of the Jindu Hotel, Chen Xing looked at the time from time to time. The agreed time with Shen Qingan was 6: 30. It was around 6: 00, but he estimated that Shen Qingan would come earlier.
"Chen Xing, Sha Yuanbao came to Nanzhou yesterday. Did he contact you?" Huang Ming sat with Chen Xing and said.
"I didn't receive his call, but since he came to Nanzhou, I have to take the initiative to contact him and see if I can pull this God of Fortune to invest in Mountain Gaze." Chen Xing smiled.
"Chen Xing, every time you open your mouth, you talk about Mountain Gaze. You have just taken office, but you are very dedicated." Huang Ming shook his head and smiled.
Since I was transferred to the Mountain Gaze, I naturally have to think about the Mountain Gaze. Chen Xing smiled, and his eyes showed a sense of ambition. "Building a new Mountain Gaze in five years is my goal."
"What if you don't stay in Mountain Gaze for five years?" Huang Ming joked.
"This time, I should stay in Mountain Gaze for a long time." Chen Xing shook his head. At the age of 32, he was already the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Chen Xing knew that the possibility of being promoted again in the next few years was almost negligible. For his own development, he also needed to settle in this position for a few more years to lay a good foundation for himself. If he could make outstanding achievements in Mountain Gaze, it would also give him better capital for his future promotion.
The two of them chatted for a while. Huang Ming knew that Chen Xing was going to invite ICBC Provincial Branch President Shen Qingan to a banquet tonight. Seeing that it was almost time, Huang Ming left first. Not long after, Huang Jianghua walked in from outside. The Secretary and President Shen had arrived.
When Chen Xing heard this, he immediately stood up. When Shen Qing 'an entered, Chen Xing went forward to welcome him with a smile. President Shen.
Secretary Chen, sorry to keep you waiting. Shen Qingan smiled.
It wasn't a long wait. It wasn't the time for our appointment yet, but President Shen had already arrived early. Chen Xing said with a smile. Besides, I'm more happy than anything that President Shen can come over.
Shen Qing 'an smiled faintly. Chen Xing's attitude was so warm that he had nothing to say. As the saying goes, when one is asking for help, one should speak more nicely. Shen Qing' an didn't think that it was because he had such a big face. In the end, it was because of the money.
Secretary Chen, this is my daughter. My daughter treats you like an idol. Shen Qing 'an smiled and introduced his daughter to Chen Xing. He had asked his daughter to come over tonight, and Shen Qing' an had really brought his daughter over. It was one thing to dote on his daughter, but in his heart, he also had the thought of finding an excuse to leave early.
Oh, President Shen, your daughter has grown into a slender and elegant woman. Chen Xing's gaze fell on Shen Huining. He was a little surprised by Shen Qing 'an's words. She treats me like an idol? Could it be that I've gained a group of fans after being in charge of Nanzhou for a year?
The thought flashed through his mind. Chen Xing also chose to say nice things. Regardless of whether she was pretty or not, people loved to hear nice things. He had a favor to ask of Shen Qing 'an, so naturally, he said everything in a good way.
Secretary Chen, my name is Shen Huining. I work at the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau. Many people in our unit admire you. They say that you are the idol of us young people. Everyone wants to learn from you. At your age, you are also a high-ranking official. Shen Huining blinked her eyes and smiled playfully.
Miss Shen, are you saying that I'm old? Chen Xing joked and shook hands with Shen Huining symbolically. She was not particularly beautiful, but her facial features were decent. She looked quite like Shen Qing 'an.
They chatted and took their seats. Chen Xing asked his secretary, Huang Jianghua, to sit down as well and ordered the waiter to start serving the dishes. Chen Xing and Shen Qing 'an chatted casually. At this moment, they did not mention the loan. Wangshan City needed a large amount of credit support from the provincial bank, which could not be settled with just a few words. He invited Shen Qing' an to dinner tonight, and he believed that Shen Qing 'an understood what he meant.
Without talking about business, Chen Xing talked about everything. Seeing Shen Huining looking at him from time to time, Chen Xing couldn't help but laugh. President Shen, your daughter is not married yet, right?
Married? She didn't even have a boyfriend. Shen Qing 'an smiled and shook his head. Her parents were worried sick. She was not young anymore. They kept urging her to find a reliable boyfriend and start a family as soon as possible, but she did not listen.
No boyfriend? That's good. President Shen, what do you think of my secretary? Chen Xing laughed and pointed to Huang Jianghua. This is Xiao Huang. He has been my secretary since I took office in Nanzhou. This time, when I was transferred to Mount Wang, he also volunteered to go with me. He is a good young man, ambitious, and steady.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Shen Qingan looked at Huang Jianghua and narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know what kind of person this young man was, but since he took the initiative to go to Mount Wang with Chen Xing, Shen Qingan believed Chen Xing's words. Huang Jianghua was ambitious and understood the principle of following the leader closely in the officialdom. Judging from Huang Jianghua's appearance, he should be nearly 30 years old. Shen Qingan asked, "Secretary Chen, your secretary is not engaged yet?
President Shen, he's just like your daughter. He's not married and doesn't have a girlfriend. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to recommend him to you. Look, these two young people can be a couple. In my opinion, they're a perfect match. Chen Xing smiled brightly. He suddenly realized that he had never been a matchmaker before. This was really the first time for a young lady, and he suddenly became a little interested.
Nowadays, the affairs of young people could not be decided by adults. It depended on their wishes. Shen Qing 'an shook his head with a smile and looked at his precious daughter. He knew that his daughter was also picky. She had had three boyfriends, but she was not satisfied with all of them, so she broke up with them. The last one was introduced by him and his wife. He worked in the Provincial government. Although he was not old, he was already a deputy divisional cadre. His family had some background. In the eyes of the two of them, he was a good match for their family. The young man was also a good-looking man. Both of them were very satisfied with him. However, after dating for a while, his daughter still felt that they could not get along with each other, so they broke up. At that time, the two of them were preparing to talk about the marriage of the two young people with each other's parents. In the end, both of them were quite embarrassed.
Shen Huining had always been curious about Chen Xing, so she followed her father here in high spirits in the evening. She did not expect that after chatting for a while, he would introduce her to a boyfriend. Chen Xing even became a matchmaker, which made Shen Huining blush. She secretly glanced at Huang Jianghua, who had not paid much attention to her. Seeing that Huang Jianghua was also looking at her, Shen Huining blushed even more.
"Miss Shen, what do you think? Do you think I'm a good secretary? When Xiao Huang was in the Nanzhou Municipal Government, he was also the most handsome man in the Municipal Government's office. Now he has followed me to Mount Wang to serve as the Deputy Director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. It has only been a few days, but I have already heard some female comrades privately say that the new Director Chen is a handsome man. Chen Xing was full of smiles. For the first time, he was a matchmaker. He looked very energetic and worked hard to help Huang Jianghua.
"Secretary, don't flatter me too much." Huang Jianghua was a little embarrassed. He knew that Chen Xing's last words were absolutely nonsense. He was trying to flatter him. He had only been in Mount Wang for less than half a month. Huang Jianghua didn't even know what his subordinates were talking about, let alone that Chen Xing would hear it. However, Huang Jianghua was also a little touched that his leader was so dedicated to helping him. Regardless of Shen Huining's appearance, Huang Jianghua was willing to try dating her first because she was the daughter of the president of the provincial bank. He was 29 years old this year. In two or three months, it would be the New Year, and he would also enter his thirties. Marriage had not been settled yet. It was not that Huang Jianghua did not want to get married, but that he had not found a suitable one. He was also a person who knew how to choose. He did not only choose the appearance, but also the woman's family background. Huang Jianghua knew that a good wife could save him half a life of struggle. He already had a good future, and he hoped that the wife he found could bring some help to his future.
As he spoke, Huang Jianghua secretly looked at Shen Huining. She was delicate and pretty. She was not very beautiful, but at least she would not be a disgrace when she went out.
At this time, Shen Huining also peeked at Huang Jianghua again. The eyes of the two young people met in the air, as if sparks had been ignited. Both of them were a little embarrassed and looked away.
Xiao Huang, you only care about your work and you don't know how to pursue a girlfriend? A man must take the initiative. If you take the initiative to leave your contact information with Miss Shen, do you want her to take the initiative to ask for it from you? Chen Xing looked at Huang Jianghua helplessly. It seemed that this guy was not good at pursuing women. He was not experienced enough.
When Huang Jianghua heard Chen Xing's words, he quickly stood up, gave his contact information to the other party, and took the initiative to ask for Shen Huining's number.
On the side, Chen Xing watched this scene happily. It was the first time that he was a matchmaker. Chen Xing hoped that Huang Jianghua and Shen Huining could be a couple. Perhaps because of this relationship, it would be much easier for Wangshan City to get a loan from the provincial bank.
Shen Qing 'an didn't say anything at this time. He looked at Huang Jianghua with a smile on his face. He would let his daughter decide for herself. But if she could really get together with Huang Jianghua, Shen Qing' an would also be happy to see it happen. At such a young age, he had a bright future, and he was by Chen Xing's side. In Shen Qing 'an's eyes, Huang Jianghua was a blue-chip stock.
Because of the interlude between Huang Jianghua and Shen Huining, the atmosphere of the dinner party was very pleasant from beginning to end. Chen Xing originally wanted to mention the loan at the end, but in the end, he said nothing. Shen Qing 'an knew this kind of thing. He could ask for 10 billion yuan of credit support from the provincial bank, but it was not something that could be finalized in one or two conversations with Shen Qing' an. Since the atmosphere was so good at night, he simply didn't mention business.
After dinner, Shen Qing 'an and his daughter left. It was not yet eight o' clock. After watching Shen Qing 'an's car leave, Chen Xing turned his head and smiled at Huang Jianghua. "Xiao Huang, it's still early. You have to seize the opportunity."
"Secretary, I know." Huang Jianghua smiled and scratched his head. He was already thinking about sending a text message to Shen Huining later and asking her out alone.
"Work hard and try to woo the beauty before the New Year. When the time comes, we can directly hold a wedding, which will be even happier." Chen Xing smiled and patted Huang Jianghua on the shoulder. He joked again. "You have to complete this as a political task. The loan of Wangshan City depends on you."
"Secretary, I don't have that ability." Huang Jianghua smiled.
"You married President Shen's daughter. Are you afraid that he won't take care of Wangshan?" Chen Xing smiled. "Well, I'm joking with you. Don't feel any pressure. If I like her, then I'll pursue her. If she doesn't, then there's nothing to talk about."
After chatting with Huang Jianghua for a while, Chen Xing asked Huang Jianghua to leave first. After looking at the time, Chen Xing asked Li Yong to send him to a place and then asked Li Yong to go back first. He would call him if he needed a car tomorrow morning.
Chen Xing arrived at a rather new place. When he arrived at Room 806 of one of the buildings, Chen Xing knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened. Yang Hong opened the door for Chen Xing in her pajamas. After Chen Xing came in, she subconsciously looked out the door and then quickly closed the door.
"It's still early. Are you ready to sleep?" Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong and asked.
"I wanted to ask why you came so early. Didn't you have a social engagement tonight? I thought you would come at least after 10 o 'clock. I just came back from the company. I changed into my pajamas and was about to take a shower. " Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing and spoke with a hint of coquettishness. She not only needed Chen Xing in terms of benefits, but she also had physiological needs. After pouring a glass of water for Chen Xing, Yang Hong followed him to the sofa and sat down. She rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. "You have no conscience. You're going to Wangshan to take office, but you didn't see me before you left. You only sent me a text message after you left. You only remembered to see me now."
"It happened so suddenly. The appointment from the province is very urgent. I received the notice as soon as I returned to Nanzhou. In addition, there are a lot of things to do. I have to see you if I have time." Chen Xing explained with a smile, but he felt a little guilty. The night before he left, he went to He Li's place. In addition to Chu Rong, he also called Jiang Wan. The next day, his back was so sore that he almost couldn't get out of bed. He couldn't take care of Yang Hong. Yang Hong and He Li didn't know each other, so Chen Xing didn't call Yang Hong that night. If he did, it would be a mess.
Chen Xing, it's a long trip from Wangshan to Nanzhou. It will be difficult to see you in the future. Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing helplessly, her face filled with reluctance.
"When I was in Nanzhou, we didn't see each other often, right? In the future, I will often go to Nanzhou to work, so we can still see each other often." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"That feels different. If you were in Nanzhou, even if you didn't see each other often, we would be in the same place and you could see each other whenever you wanted. Now that you're gone, the feeling is completely different." Yang Hong's little mouth curled up.
"What's different? I think you're too emotional." Chen Xing smiled.
Women were sentimental after all. Yang Hong gently pounded Chen Xing's chest. "You bad guy, you haven't come to see me for a long time."
"It hasn't been that long." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He wisely changed the topic. "How is your work in Nansteel?
What else? It's a nine-to-five life. But I've been busy recently and often have to work overtime. " Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing. "Chen Xing, there is also a branch factory in Wangshan that we bought. It was formerly known as Wangshan Steel Factory. Later, it closed down due to the downturn. Our company bought it and it became a subsidiary of Nansteel. What do you think about transferring me to Wangshan?
To Wangshan? Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong in surprise. "Your son is in Nanzhou. Are you willing to go to Wangshan?"
"It's not like we'll be separated forever. What's there to be reluctant about? Besides, I can come back to see my son every week. Besides, I've been busy with work recently. Sometimes I haven't been to my parents' place to see him for a few days. In fact, I've gotten used to it." Yang Hong's voice was a little sad. Her son might be her only concern now, but her son had been living with her parents for a long time, so she had nothing to worry about. Besides, she had her own ideas about her career. She was transferred to Mount Wang not because she wanted to date Chen Xing at any time there, but because she had her own selfish motives. The head of the Mount Wang Branch of the Nangang Group was a high-ranking deputy director. Now that she was doing administrative work within the group, she might as well see if there was an opportunity to go to the lower levels to gain experience. Chen Xing said that he would find a way to transfer her back to the government, but Yang Hong didn't know how long that would take. In a large state-owned enterprise like the Nangang Group, it would be relatively easier to be promoted than in the government. Yang Hong wanted to seize every opportunity. She was now a director. If she was transferred to the Mount Wang Branch, if she could serve as the head of the branch, she would be a deputy director.
Why not? Chen Xing listened to Yang Hong's words thoughtfully. He didn't know about the Wangshan branch of the Nangang Group, but the entire steel market was in a slump. These state-owned steel enterprises weren't having an easy time either. On the one hand, they were losing money, and on the other hand, they were desperately expanding their scale.
Chen Xing, if you want to be transferred to Wangshan, you have to talk to Chief Song. Chief Song is like the emperor of the Nangang Group. As long as he agrees, there will be no problem. Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing, and there was a flash of eagerness in her eyes. She didn't dare to mention that she had to be the head of the Wangshan branch. Haste makes waste. Yang Hong also understood this.
Well, I'll mention it to Song Zhengming later and see if he agrees. Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
I'm just doing administrative work within the group. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not. Chief Song has no reason to refuse. The group lacks management and technical talents. If I'm talented in these two areas, he might not be willing to let me go. Yang Hong smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Xing could only shake his head and smile. Yang Hong's words were not unreasonable. However, thinking that he had to talk to Song Zhengming again, Chen Xing had a headache. Every time he talked to Song Zhengming, he would owe him a favor.
It was a quiet night.
It was the evening of the next day when Chen Xing returned to Wangshan. This trip to the provincial capital was unexpectedly smooth. Chen Xing didn't expect to get the funds so easily, so he came back quickly. Although the provincial government only gave 200 million yuan, which was just a drop in the bucket for Wangshan, Chen Xing knew that it was not easy to get the Shun Baolai to agree to the funds. 200 million yuan could temporarily meet the current urgent need.
It was time to get off work, but Chen Xing still went straight back to the office of the Municipal Party Committee. The director of the General Office, Wei Sida, was about to leave. Seeing that Chen Xing was back, Wei Sida, who was about to go home, didn't leave. He went back to the office and sent a document to Chen Xing.
Secretary Chen, these were the two candidates recommended by the Municipal Government to prepare the tourism investment holding company. Wei Sida pointed to the document and said.
Didn't the General Office recommend any candidates? Chen Xing asked casually.
Yes, I recommended two candidates and put them below. There are also detailed introductions of the recommended candidates. Secretary Chen, you can take a look. Wei Sida said.
Chen Xing didn't say anything more. Before he left, he was also having a headache about the candidates. Since the staff recommended several candidates so efficiently, Chen Xing might as well take a look. He had no one to use, so he could only rely on this method to select candidates.
