The car drove to the city. Xue Jinbao and Chen Xing sat in the same car, and Fan Ying's car followed behind. Occasionally, Xue Jinbao and Chen Xing looked back and saw Xue Jinbao talking about Fan Ying's performance just now with a smile. Fan Ying usually didn't seem to have a temper, but in fact, she was arrogant.
"I can see that." Chen Xing smiled. A woman like Fan Ying was soft on the outside but tough on the inside. It would be a terrible thing to provoke her.
"By the way, what happened to you just now? Why did you have a conflict with the other party?" Chen Xing asked curiously. "Speaking of this, I'm f * cked.
"Speaking of this, it's f * cked up. That f * cker suddenly braked and stopped. Our car was behind him, so we didn't stop and crashed into him. As a result, that b * stard got out of the car first and beat us. He grabbed my driver and wanted to beat him. I wanted to stop him, but he slapped me in the face. Do you think I could take it lying down? "Xue Jinbao smacked his lips. Speaking of this, he was quite depressed. Later, he was tied up, but the slap in the face made him take it to heart.
"Forget it. It's over. Don't be angry." Chen Xing comforted Xue Jinbao with a smile.
"There's nothing to be angry about. I'll just take it as being bitten by a dog." Xue Jinbao touched the side of his face that was slapped, raised the corners of his mouth, and turned to look at Chen Xing. "Chen Xing, you won't leave this matter unsettled, will you? We are classmates. I know that you can't do everything as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. That person's father is the commander of the military subdivision. If you have any difficulties, I won't force you to do anything to that b * stard. But I have to explain it to Fan Ying."
"Don't worry. No matter what, I will give you an explanation." Chen Xing said seriously.
When Xue Jinbao heard this, he nodded and didn't say anything. Although he had a bellyful of anger and wished for nothing more than to send Han Shaojun to prison, he wouldn't keep asking Chen Xing to do whatever he wanted. That would only make things difficult for Chen Xing, and it would also be insensible.
When they returned to the city, it was already eight o 'clock. Chen Xing invited Xue Jinbao and Fan Ying to dinner in the guest house. According to Chen Xing, he wanted to calm them down and see Fan Ying as a potential investor. Now that such a thing had happened, Chen Xing also apologized to Fan Ying. "Miss Fan encountered such a thing on her second visit to Mount Gaze. As her parent, I apologize to Miss Fan and will definitely give her an explanation."
Chen Xing said with a smile, "I also hope Miss Fan can understand. Don't leave a bad impression on Mount Wang because of this matter. It's a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The people here are hardworking and kind, simple and honest."
"I believe that Mount Gaze is good, and so are the people of Mount Gaze. It's because you, Secretary Chen, are here, isn't it?" Fan Ying smiled and winked at Chen Xing. At this time, she didn't have the cold expression on her face just now. Fan Ying was a person who dealt with matters as they stood. She wouldn't show any displeasure to Chen Xing, nor would she be so reckless.
While they were talking, Chen Xing's cell phone rang. The call was from Zhu Guangzheng, asking where Chen Xing was. Chen Xing didn't hide it and told him the address. From his voice, Zhu Guangzheng could hear Zhu Guangzheng's careful attitude with a smile.
In just a few minutes, Zhu Guangzheng arrived at the guest house. He chased after Chen Xing's car and called Chen Xing when he arrived in the city. After entering the private room of the guest house, Zhu Guangzheng immediately bowed a little. Seeing Chen Xing's slightly tense face, Zhu Guangzheng's heart tightened. He didn't know if Chen Xing also had a problem with him. At this time, he hurriedly apologized to Xue Jinbao and Fan Ying. "Mr. Xue, Miss Fan, I have to take part of the responsibility for today's matter. I didn't treat you well and made you feel wronged. I'm here to apologize to you.
Mayor Zhu, you don't have to do this. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's irrelevant for you to apologize. " Xue Jinbao laughed. He had a good impression of Zhu Guangzheng. Before and after the inspection and signing of the contract, he had been to Mount Li several times. Zhu Guangzheng's hospitality was good every time, which made Xue Jinbao feel that Zhu Guangzheng was also quite loyal. At this moment, he also vaguely guessed the reason why Zhu Guangzheng chased after him. In front of Chen Xing, Xue Jinbao couldn't help but speak for him.
"Mr. Xue's words make me feel even more sorry. I was fine when I sent you away in the afternoon. I didn't expect this to happen as soon as I came back. I'm really guilty in my heart." Zhu Guangzheng said with a wry smile. Although he said that, Zhu Guangzheng was secretly grateful for Xue Jinbao's words. He thought that it was worthwhile for him to personally entertain Xue Jinbao before.
"Well, since you're here, sit down." Chen Xing waved his hand. Zhu Guangzheng's performance as soon as he came over was nothing more than a show for him. Chen Xing deliberately kept a straight face, but at this moment, his expression softened slightly.
There were four people sitting in the private room. Xue Jinbao and Fan Ying's assistant were received by Huang Jianghua in another private room. When Zhu Guangzheng saw that Chen Xing was going to pour wine, he quickly stood up and took the initiative to pour a glass for everyone. When it was Fan Ying's turn, he smiled and said, "Miss Fan, do you want wine or a drink?
Mayor Zhu, just pour wine for her. Her alcohol tolerance is better than anyone else's. " Xue Jinbao jeered at the side.
"Jinbao, I think you really need to be taught a lesson.
What did you say when you were kidnapped just now? Did you forget what you said? I haven't settled the score with you yet. " Fan Ying smiled and rolled her eyes at Xue Jinbao.
"What I said just now was nonsense. I know you won't lower yourself to my level, Yingzi." Xue Jinbao replied with a smile. Just now, he asked Han Shaojun to force himself on Fan Ying if he had the ability. Xue Jinbao couldn't help laughing when he thought about it. Jokes in that situation would not hurt the friendship between the two of them. On the contrary, it was a proof of their good relationship.
"Come, let me toast the two of you first. Jinbao and Miss Fan were both frightened last night. This glass of wine is for you to calm down." Chen Xing picked up the glass and said.
Hearing this, Xue Jinbao and Fan Ying nodded and picked up their glasses in response. It could be considered that they accepted Chen Xing's kindness. After drinking, they sat down. Not long after, Zhu Guangzheng also stood up to toast the two of them and apologized to them again. Zhu Guangzheng's attitude was sincere. Although Fan Ying was still a little unhappy about what had happened just now, it was not good for her to show her displeasure to Zhu Guangzheng. She also knew that it had nothing to do with Zhu Guangzheng.
"Comrade Guangzheng, you are responsible for supervising the progress of your county public security bureau. Do you dare to take this responsibility?" Chen Xing waited for Zhu Guangzheng to put down his glass and suddenly asked.
Zhu Guangzheng smiled bitterly. Chen Xing was obviously testing him. To put it bluntly, he was also making things difficult for him. It involved the son of the commander of the military subdivision. How could he, a county magistrate, take this responsibility? Without any time to think, Zhu Guangzheng nodded and said with a kind of determination to go all out. "I will do my best. Even if I have to give up the hat on my head, I will urge this case to be handled impartially." Zhu Guangzheng looked serious. He knew that at this moment, in fact, his attitude was more meaningful than his actual action. Maybe this was his attitude, and he did not necessarily care about the real result. Of course, if Chen Xing really wanted him to come up with a result, Zhu Guangzheng knew that he had to go all out even if there was no way out. Although he could not afford to offend Han Gongming, the commander of the military subdivision, if he made Chen Xing dissatisfied, he could directly pack up his things and leave. On the contrary, Han Gongming might not be able to do anything to him directly. After all, the army and the local government were two different systems. They could not manage the affairs of the army, but if the people in the army wanted to intervene in the affairs of the local government, it was also a big taboo. Han Gongming might not necessarily be able to pull him off the position of the county magistrate. As long as he held onto Chen Xing's thigh tightly, he would not be afraid of Han Gongming.
It seemed that he was going all out, but in fact, Zhu Guangzheng had already weighed the pros and cons in the blink of an eye. To be exact, when he chased after Chen Xing's car, he had already made the trade-off.
As they continued to drink, Chen Xing was very satisfied with Zhu Guangzheng and did not say anything more. Xue Jinbao and Fan Ying did not mention the kidnapping again. They were not really injured, but they were a little frightened. Chen Xing had made his stand, so Xue Jinbao and Fan Ying had nothing to be dissatisfied with. During the dinner, the matter of investment was mentioned.
Fan Ying, the only daughter of Fan Dongcheng, now had a certain decision-making power over the internal affairs of the New Donglin Group. Fan Dongcheng had already trained Fan Ying as his successor. This was what Chen Xing had learned about the Fan family from Xue Jinbao. Therefore, since there was a ready-made opportunity to contact Fan Ying, Chen Xing would not miss the opportunity to invite her to invest. A person's sincerity often played a very important role in the success or failure of a matter.
Last time, County Magistrate Zhu said that Lishan County had invited people from the National Survey of Surveys to explore bauxite resources. Was there any progress? Fan Ying looked at Zhu Guangzheng. Since Chen Xing had mentioned the investment, she also asked about what she was most concerned about.
Mineral exploration was a time-consuming and labor-intensive project. It could not be completed so quickly. Zhu Guangzheng smiled helplessly.
"Miss Fan, your New Donglin Group has a wide range of business. As far as I know, agriculture also accounts for a large proportion of your group. Mount Wang is a place suitable for the development of green agriculture. I think you can consider this aspect. Chen Xing said with a smile.
"I will think about it. Secretary Chen, you have asked me many times. I can't refuse to give you face." Fan Ying responded to Chen Xing with a smile.
They chatted and laughed, and the unpleasant things that happened in the evening were forgotten. In the end, only Zhu Guangzheng left with a wry smile. Zhu Guangzheng had a headache about how to handle Han Shaojun's case. He had expressed his attitude and weighed the pros and cons. However, Zhu Guangzheng knew that there were great obstacles in front of him. Whether Su Jianyang, the director of the county bureau, would show up or not, Zhu Guangzheng could guess the result. He sighed in his heart that he could only take one step at a time. Anyway, he just needed to let Chen Xing know that he had tried his best. Thinking of Han Gongming, whom he did not have much contact with, Zhu Guangzheng shook his head. Han Gongming was actually very low-key. In Mount Wang, no one even felt his presence. Because local affairs were handled by Hong Zhengjie, the political commissar of the military subdivision, who was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Han Gongming spent most of his time in the military region and basically did not participate in local social activities. He did not have much interaction with local people, so there was not much news about Han Gongming in the city. On the contrary, Han Gongming's son was notorious. However, it was interesting that few people had any opinions about Han Gongming, which showed how low-key he was.
The next day, Chen Xing was still woken up by the ringing of the phone. He got up and hung up the phone. Chen Xing knew that it was Gu Panman calling. The two of them had formed a tacit understanding. Gu Panman would call Chen Xing before going out for a run in the morning. If Chen Xing did not take the initiative to hang up, he would continue to call. If he did, it meant that Chen Xing had woken up. The reason why the two of them made such an agreement was that Chen Xing had overslept once. He did not even respond to the phone alarm. He slept like a dead pig. Gu Panman ran over and wandered around outside the hostel, but he did not dare to call Chen Xing. After that, Chen Xing took the initiative to call him and explained that he had overslept. That was how they came to this agreement. Of course, if Chen Xing did not have time to go, he would tell Gu Panman in advance.
After getting up and washing up, Chen Xing changed his clothes and went downstairs. After washing up and a little delay, Gu Panman could almost run to the Municipal Party Committee's hostel. Of course, if Chen Xing did not have time to go, he would tell Gu Panman in advance.
After a few minutes of exercise at the door, Gu Panman's figure appeared in his sight. A smile appeared on Chen Xing's face. Before he knew it, he had been running with Gu Panman for almost a month. However, there were a few days when Gu Panman was not in Mount Wang, so he could not run. The two of them had become acquainted with each other because they had visited the relocated households at the beginning. Over the past month, they had become more and more familiar with each other. At least, Gu Panman would not be too reserved in front of him.
Gu Panman was still wearing slim-fitting sportswear. Today, he was wearing beige sportswear with a tight white T-shirt inside, which gave people a sense of fitness.
It would be the Spring Festival in a few days. Xiao Gu, you won't be running at that time. Chen Xing said with a smile and ran to the road outside with Gu Panman.
Secretary Chen, are you going back to your hometown for the Spring Festival? Gu Panman asked with concern.
Yes, he was going back on the second day of the Spring Festival. Chen Xing smiled. He had to go to the lower levels to express his condolences on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Spring Festival. This was the first year that he had been transferred to Mount Wang. As a leader, Chen Xing also wanted to set an example.
"Well, Secretary Chen, you are busy with work all year round. You should go back to reunite with your family during the Spring Festival. Otherwise, it will be too hard to be a leader." Gu Panman nodded slightly.
"If it is hard to be a leader, why do so many people want to be a leader?" Whether it was a conspiracy or a variety of shameful means, for the sake of being an official, the ugly side of human nature was vividly displayed. Chen Xing smiled slightly.
When Gu Panman heard Chen Xing's words, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. Chen Xing was talking to her about such a topic. As an ordinary prosecutor, Gu Panman knew that she was not qualified to talk about such a topic. When the two ran to an intersection, Chen Xing saw a figure in front of him.
When the two of them reached an intersection, Chen Xing could not help but smirk when he saw a figure in front of him. It was that guy who was wooing Gu Pan again. His name was Liao Shuangcai or something. This guy was interesting. He didn't seem to have a bad nature, but he was a little arrogant and condescending. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he had achieved success at a young age and relied on his own hard work to build up his current net worth at a young age. Anyone who did not rely on their own parents and did not have many advantages in society could rely on nepotism to earn a net worth of tens of millions at the age of thirty was indeed something to be proud of and had the right to be proud of.
"Why did this annoying guy appear again?" Gu Panman also saw Liao Shuangcai, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
It was normal for him to appear. It would be abnormal if he didn't appear. Chen Xing smiled. Liao Shuangcai should live in a commercial and residential building next to this intersection. He didn't know how he heard that Gu Panman had the habit of running in the morning. These days, he often waited at this intersection in advance and then jogged together. Although he didn't wait here every day, the frequency was not low.
"I hate him to death when I see him. Secretary Chen, how can you still joke?" Gu Panman glanced at Chen Xing coquettishly.
"I'm not joking. I'm telling the truth." Chen Xing smiled. "Xiao Gu, it means that this person is really interested in pursuing you. Look at him, he often yawns when he runs. It can be seen that he got up early for you. He must have some perseverance to do this."
"Secretary Chen, let's not talk about him. I hate him." Gu Panman smiled bitterly. Every time Liao Shuangcai ran with her, she couldn't communicate with Chen Xing alone. She could only focus on running. However, Liao Shuangcai was like a fly buzzing beside her ear. She and Chen Xing didn't talk. Only Liao Shuangcai kept talking to her.
Chen Xing glanced at Gu Panman and shook his head with a smile. A woman's mind was really hard to understand. Gu Panman was already 31 or 32 years old, but she still didn't have a girlfriend. Chen Xing didn't know what she was thinking. However, it was not something a man like him could casually ask about a woman's family.
Liao Shuangcai took the initiative to run up and looked at Gu Panman with a smile on his face. Gu Panman in sportswear had a different kind of beauty, which made Liao Shuangcai's heart itch. This woman really made him more and more jealous. At this moment, Liao Shuangcai also believed in the saying, "The best is what you can't get."
Liao Shuangcai glanced at Chen Xing. His eyes were full of hostility and dissatisfaction. He secretly thought that this brat had warned him not to get close to Gu Panman after running last time. This brat didn't listen to his words at all.
"Mr. Liao, why are you looking at me like this?" Chen Xing looked at Liao Shuangcai with a smile. He knew what Liao Shuangcai was unhappy about. Chen Xing, on the other hand, felt that it was quite interesting. It was true that this person was pursuing a woman, but it was interesting to threaten him as an imaginary love rival without understanding the situation.
"Nothing." Liao Shuangcai snorted lightly. In fact, he didn't know what Chen Xing was doing. He asked Gu Panman, but Gu Panman was indifferent to him and didn't answer him, which really embarrassed him. Liao Shuangcai didn't want to take the initiative to ask Chen Xing. He felt that he would lose face. As a result, Chen Xing knew that his surname was Liao, but he didn't even know what Chen Xing's surname was.
The three of them ran along the road. Because Liao Shuangcai joined them, Gu Panman and Chen Xing didn't talk much. Only Liao Shuangcai was still talking to Gu Panman passionately.
The quiet morning was a little bleak and cold. The sun had just shown a little white in the east. In the early morning, the street was quiet and peaceful except for the sound of the sanitation workers sweeping the floor.
On the side of the road, a car was parked quietly. This road was the route that Chen Xing and Gu Panman had to pass every morning.
The car was an ordinary black car parked on the side of the road. It was not eye-catching at all, but the person sitting in the car at the moment was not ordinary at all. Qian Xinlai and Li Jinquan, the chief prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate, were sitting in the car, watching the figures of Chen Xing and Gu Panman running past.
"Li Jian, how is it?" Qian Xinlai glanced at Li Jinquan and said with a smile.
"How did you know?" Li Jinquan's expression changed slightly, and there was a lot of shock in the depths of his eyes. Qian Xinlai told him mysteriously last night that he would pull him over to see an interesting thing in the morning. Li Jinquan was very confused, but now he finally knew what the interesting thing was.
"Of course, I have my ways. By the way, is there anything in Wangshan that I don't know?" Qian Xinlai grinned.
"That's true. Mr. Li is indeed resourceful." Li Jinquan smiled and glanced at Li Jinquan calmly. He had already guessed that Qian Xinlai might have secretly asked someone to follow Chen Xing or something like that. This kind of thing was known to everyone, and there was no need to ask again.
"Li Jian, that woman is not bad. She is like a ripe red apple, which makes people want to take a bite." Qian Xinlai suddenly laughed.
Xiao Gu is not bad, and he has no girlfriend. He is still single. " Li Jinquan smiled faintly, and then said with some doubts. "But it is also interesting that Xiao Gu knows Secretary Chen and they even run together." Li Jinquan said and looked at Qian Xinlai. "By the way, how long have they been running together?
I don't know how long, but I know it has been at least more than ten days. " Qian Xinlai said.
"More than ten days? That's quite a regular run. " Li Jinquan looked ahead thoughtfully. Chen Xing, Gu Panman, and another figure that he didn't know had gradually walked away and slowly disappeared into the distance.
"Who is the other man?" Li Jinquan asked again.
"That insignificant man is pursuing that woman." Qian Xinlai laughed.
"Oh, Xiao Gu has always had a lot of pursuers." Li Jinquan smiled.
"Li Jian, this woman is already in her thirties, and she is still single. Did you steal her and keep her as a mistress?" Qian Xinlai glanced at Li Jinquan and joked.
"Mr. Qian, don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with her." Li Jinquan smiled and waved his hand. "Don't slander me."
"Okay, I won't joke anymore. Li Jian, what do you think after seeing this today?" Qian Xinlai's eyes softened.
