"Old … this master is really eloquent. He deserves to be a fortune-teller." Chen Xing soon calmed down from the surprise. He almost blurted out and called him an old monk.
"Appearance is born from the heart. It's up to you to believe it or not." The old monk smiled calmly.
"Master's words are too profound. I really can't understand them as a secular person." Chen Xing curled his lips. He was a highly educated person. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he despised feudal superstitions. As for the so-called fortune-telling, Chen Xing didn't believe it. How could one tell a person's fate just by looking at his face? This was too incredible. It was pure nonsense. At least, he didn't believe it.
"Since you said so, I'll pretend that I didn't say anything just now." The old monk smiled slightly.
"Master, tell me. I have the appearance of a general and a dark cloud between my eyebrows. How do you explain this?" Chen Xing asked with interest. He wanted to hear how the old monk would fool him.
The so-called appearance of a general and a prime minister was the literal meaning. It was easy to understand. If the benefactor joined the army or became an official, he would have the talent of a general and a prime minister. The old monk looked at Chen Xing. As for the dark cloud between his eyebrows, it was the first big hurdle in his life that the benefactor might encounter.
The first big hurdle? Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the monk with a smile. "Master, what big hurdle do you think I will encounter?"
"Benefactor, do you think I am an immortal? I can tell a person's good or bad luck by looking at his face. This is just a prediction. If I can know what you will encounter, then I am really a living immortal." The old monk smiled and shook his head.
Upon hearing the old monk's words, Chen Xing secretly cursed in his heart. He thought to himself, "Didn't you make yourself sound like a deity just now? Why are you acting so humble now? I don't think I can fool you any longer.
"The benefactor is an elegant person. It's no wonder that you look down on unorthodox ways." The old monk smiled slightly. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't take it seriously, he didn't seem to want to say more. He reached out to Chen Xing and said, "Benefactor, aren't you going to interpret the lots for your son? Let me have a look."
Hearing this, Chen Xing handed over the stick he had drawn. The corner of his mouth twitched. If it weren't for the fact that he had to report to his mother at night, he would have turned around and left. In his eyes, this old monk was a typical quack who was trying to fool those superstitious people.
The old monk glanced at the lot in his hand and quickly put it back. This was the best lot. Your son would have a rich life in the future.
Hmm, what else? Chen Xing stared at the old monk. Although he didn't believe in fortune-telling at all, he had to admit that the old monk did look like an enlightened monk.
There was nothing left. The old monk smiled and shook his head.
Thank you, Master. Chen Xing stood up with a smile and thanked him politely.
"Benefactor, I don't charge you for interpreting the lots, but you have to offer incense money to the temple." Seeing that Chen Xing was about to leave, the old monk smiled lightly.
"Oh, how much is it?" Chen Xing was stunned. He almost forgot that he didn't pay. The main reason was that when he was waiting in line, he saw that no one in front of him paid, so he thought that he didn't need to pay.
"Offering incense money is a good karma. It's up to the benefactor's will. I don't ask for much." The old monk smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Xing nodded and didn't say anything. He turned around and beckoned Zhang Ningning to leave. When he saw the money box at the gate, Chen Xing took out a 100 yuan bill from his wallet and put it in.
Coming out of the temple, Zhang Ningning couldn't help laughing. "Chen Xing, what the old master said just now seemed to be quite mysterious."
Zhang Ningning was standing next to him with the child in her arms just now. She also heard the old monk's words. Although she didn't interrupt, she was also surprised.
"The kind of person who can interpret people's lots and tell their fortunes, if he doesn't pretend to be a conman, he won't dare to drink it." Chen Xing smiled. "Look at the old monk. I don't know how many people he has deceived. I guess he has cultivated to a high level and can even deceive the dead to come back to life."
"Even if you don't believe it, don't talk behind my back like that. If Mom hears it, you will be scolded again." Zhang Ningning smiled and rolled her eyes. "Speaking of which, the old monk really looks like an immortal. Although I don't know anything about fortune-telling, I was almost fascinated by what he said just now."
"Ningning, look, even a non-superstitious person like you is a little bit convinced. It shows how good these people are at deceiving people. No wonder so many highly educated people believe in this kind of fortune-telling." Chen Xing said with a smile. Anyway, he didn't believe what the old monk said. Although he said that the place he worked at had something to do with the mountain, he felt that it was a bit nonsense to say that he was a general and a minister with dark clouds between his brows and that he would encounter a big obstacle recently.
Chen Xing thought and said with a smile, "Ningning, show me. The old monk said that there are dark clouds between my brows. See if there are any."
"How can I see it? I'm not a fortune-teller. I can't see it." Zhang Ningning shook her head and said with a smile, "I can see that your face is ruddy and you have put on weight recently."
"You are telling the truth. I obviously look good, but he can see that there are dark clouds between my brows. Isn't this nonsense?" Chen Xing snorted.
"I don't care if it's nonsense or not. Don't mock the old master behind his back. In this Buddhist land, we also need to be polite." Zhang Ningning shook his head and said with a smile.
"I'm not mocking him. I just don't believe in fortune-telling." Chen Xing said.
"The art of fortune-telling is a branch of the metaphysics of the Book of Changes. The metaphysics of the Book of Changes is broad and profound. We haven't dabbled in it, so maybe we really don't understand it. Even if we don't believe it, we should look at it with a normal heart." Zhang Ningning said.
The couple chatted as they walked and wandered around the mountain with the little fellow in their arms. Zhang Ningning's arms were a little tired, so it was Chen Xing's turn to carry him. Chen Xing remembered that when he was a child, he often went up the mountain to play with his friends on holidays. In the blink of an eye, ten or twenty years had passed. His friends had already become parents, and he was holding his son in his arms. Time passed so quickly that people didn't realize it. When they looked back, it was like a dream, and it really made them sigh with emotion.
"The landscape on the mountain has hardly changed. It's still the same as when I came here before." Zhang Ningning stood in a small pavilion and said with a smile.
Many of the buildings on the mountain were historical and were listed as provincial-level protected cultural relics. Of course, they would not be easily changed. Speaking of which, Ningyun Temple really had a long history. It had been hundreds of years since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Chen Xing said with a smile. As a local, he knew a lot about Ningyun Temple. The city had built it as a key tourist attraction. As for the monks in the temple, Chen Xing didn't know much. But when he worked in the Political Research Office of the Municipal Party Committee, he heard a gossip. A city leader admired the master of this temple very much. He often went up the mountain to visit him and ask him about his good or bad luck and future. He was very superstitious about fortune-telling.
Thinking of the old monk's words again, Chen Xing carefully thought about what he said. According to the monk, the big difficulties he would encounter recently were related to his work or the place where he worked.
"Chen Xing, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that Chen Xing was in a daze, Zhang Ningning couldn't help but ask.
"I'm thinking about the old monk's words." Chen Xing smiled.
"Ah, you don't believe it. Why are you still thinking about it?" Zhang Ningning rolled his eyes at Chen Xing.
"I don't believe it. I'm just thinking about it." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
The two chatted and walked on the mountain for half an hour. The scenery on Ningyun Mountain was really good. Although Chen Xing had been here many times, he still enjoyed it. In the end, the little fellow seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the cold on the mountain and cried a little. Then the couple took the child and went down the mountain by car.
In summer, the mountain could be used as a good place to escape the heat. In winter, it was three or four degrees colder than the urban area. Chen Xing said with a smile.
"It must be like this on the mountain. The altitude is high, and the temperature is naturally low." Zhang Ningning nodded, holding her son and coaxing him. Looking at the little fellow's little face, which was a combination of her and Chen Xing's facial features, Zhang Ningning's face was full of maternal love.
It was already five o 'clock when they returned home. Zou Fang and Chen Shuiping had just returned from their relatives' house. Seeing that Chen Xing came back, they hurriedly asked about the lot they had just drawn. Chen Xing shook his head with a wry smile. "Mom, only you believe in this so much."
"Brat, don't talk nonsense again." Zou Fang scolded him with a smile and said, "Tell me quickly, what's the lot?"
"It's the best lot. The old monk said that your precious grandson is destined to be rich." Chen Xing smiled and handed the lot he had just drawn to his mother.
"Really? "Oh, the old master's words are very accurate. It seems that our little business will have a great future in the future." Zou Fang said joyfully.
Looking at his mother's convinced look, Chen Xing didn't know what else to say except for a wry smile. He went to the sofa and sat down, picked up his phone, looked at it, and texted Zhang Mingde and Yang Zhen back. Then he called Huang Ming.
"Chen Xing, are you at home?" As soon as the phone was connected, Huang Ming's voice came through.
"I'm home after one o 'clock in the afternoon." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"I guessed that you should have arrived home long ago. Seeing that you didn't return my call or text, I thought that you should be busy with your family, so I didn't dare to call and disturb you." Huang Ming laughed. "How about it? There's a gathering of old classmates tonight. Let's go out for a gathering?"
"A gathering of old classmates?" "Who organized it?" Chen Xing asked curiously.
"Who could organize it? Of course, it's Fei Ren, that show-off. Only that guy would be so active." Huang Ming said with a smile.
"I'll have a look first. After dinner, I'll go if I have nothing to do." Chen Xing said.
"Okay, it's in our hotel. Come over when you have time." Huang Ming said.
After chatting for a while, they hung up. Chen Xing put away his phone. It was rare for him to sit down and chat with his father. Now that he had time, Chen Xing also enjoyed this kind of resting time at home. He made tea with his father, and the father and son talked and laughed while drinking tea.
"Tomorrow, your mother and I will go to your uncle's house to visit his relatives. You and Ningning will go together." Chen Shuiping sipped the tea. The tea leaves he was drinking now were all given by others, although he didn't know the specific price.
But obviously, the tea given by others was not bad. The fragrance of the tea was no worse than the tea he tasted in the tea shop, which cost thousands of yuan a catty. The taste was even better.
"Why are you suddenly going?" "Don't you all stay here?" Chen Xing exclaimed in surprise. Ever since he could remember, his mother's relatives rarely visited him. Other than a few of his aunts, he had never even seen his uncle before, let alone know his name. If he were to bump into him on the streets, he would definitely not be able to recognize him. In his impression, he had almost forgotten that he had an uncle like that.
"Alas, so many years have passed. There is no need to keep those conflicts when we were young in mind. Now that you have a family and a career, your mother said that she should take you and Ningning to visit them. I think it is reasonable. The disputes of our generation don't need to continue to the next generation, right? No matter what, he is your uncle." Chen Shuiping shook his head. Chen Shuiping shook his head. Zou Fang's parents passed away early, so her eldest brother, Zou Wengang, was in charge of the family. When his sisters got married, Zou Wengang acted as both father and mother. Zou Fang was the third child in the family. When he and Zou Fang were discussing about getting married, they quarreled with Zou Wengang because of the gift money. Zou Wengang wanted him to give 10,000 yuan as gift money. Chen Shuiping was just a poor teacher at that time. How could he afford 10,000 yuan? At that time, if anyone's family had 10,000 yuan, they would be proud and absolutely rich. How could he, a teacher with a monthly salary of 100 yuan, have 10,000 yuan as gift money?
After hearing Zou Wengang's request, his parents immediately opposed it. In the end, when the two sides could not come to an agreement, his parents firmly opposed the marriage. He tried his best to persuade his parents and went to discuss with Zou Wengang. However, Zou Wengang was still determined and insisted on giving 10,000 yuan as a gift. Chen Shuiping was so angry that he directly scolded Zou Wengang, saying that Zou Wengang was selling his sister and had no humanity at all. His words also angered Zou Wengang. Zou Wengang replied that he was selling his sister, so what? Since his parents had passed away, as the eldest brother of the family, he could do whatever he wanted. He scolded Chen Shuiping and told him to get lost if he couldn't afford to marry his sister.
Chen Shuiping and Zou Wengang were both red in the face. After being scolded, Chen Shuiping directly lost his temper and punched Zou Wengang's brother-in-law. After that, they started to fight. In the end, other people came to separate them.
After that fight, Chen Shuiping was scolded by his parents. They forbade him from going to the Zou family again. There were so many good girls in the world. Why did he have to marry Zou Fang? Because of this, Chen Shuiping quarreled with his parents. At that time, he was just angry. He was just a young man in his early twenties, and he was a little rebellious. He didn't know that his father had a heart attack because of that quarrel. In the end, he was sent to the hospital but couldn't be saved. His mother also died a few years later because she missed her father so much.
Because of his father's death, it was impossible for him to marry Zou Fang. However, when Zou Fang heard about it, she came to the Huang family regardless of her brother's objection. Because of this, they finally got together. Zou Fang didn't give Zou Fang the gift of ten thousand yuan. Zou Fang got married to the Huang family after quarreling with her brother. At that time, they didn't have a wedding ceremony. They just had a simple meal together. Although they had a wedding ceremony later, Zou Fang called Zou Wengang, but Zou Wengang didn't answer. Zou Fang asked her sister to invite Zou Wengang, but Zou Wengang didn't show up in the end, which made Zou Fang angry. Zou Wengang must be the one to blame for what happened before. Zou Fang especially said that he was selling his sister, which hurt her heart. In the end, she held a wedding ceremony and took the initiative to show her kindness. After all, he was her only brother. No matter how they quarreled, they were still siblings. However, Zou Wengang still acted like he had a deep hatred for her, which made Zou Fang angry.
Because of this, Zou Fang's only biological brother had never visited her since she got married. In addition, her husband, Chen Shuiping, had always been angry and often said that it was better not to have such a relative. Even after many years, Chen Shuiping would not let her go back, and Zou Fang had never contacted her brother again.
The quarrels between the elders had been carried on, so that Chen Xing didn't even know the name of his only uncle, let alone what he looked like. He only knew that he had such a relative, but he never visited him. Chen Xing had heard about those quarrels from his father when he was a child. At that time, he had cursed his uncle with righteous indignation and sympathized with his parents. Now that he had grown up and matured, he insisted on saying who was right and who was wrong. Although Chen Xing still thought that his uncle was wrong, he still felt that there was no conflict in the family that could not be solved. However, his parents never mentioned his uncle, so sometimes Chen Xing almost forgot that he had such an uncle.
At that time, your uncle insisted on asking for the 10,000 yuan betrothal gift because he had no other choice. His son was seriously ill not long after he was born and needed money for treatment. At that time, your father and I were discussing our marriage. He wanted to ask for the betrothal gift because he didn't have enough money. At this time, Zou Fang came over and said something for her brother. Brother and sister were brother and sister. Even if they hadn't contacted or visited each other for more than 20 years, they were still brother and sister. The blood in their bones couldn't be cut off.
If they didn't have money, they could find a way. His way of doing things was just f * cking. Chen Shuiping's eyes widened. His father died of anger because of this matter. Although he quarreled with his father and caused his father to have a heart attack, Chen Shuiping still believed that it was caused by Zou Wengang.
"Dad, didn't you just say that you wanted to let go of the past conflicts? Why do you sound so angry when you talk about it?" Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"Sometimes I still get angry when I think about it." Chen Shuiping smiled bitterly and then said, "But I just get angry out of habit. Forget it. I'm already so old. It's time to let go."
"Last year was the first year of Chen Xing and Ningning's marriage. If you didn't stop me, I would have taken Chen Xing and Ningning to visit my brother." Zou Wenfang glanced at her husband angrily. "Let go? You have the worst temper."
"If I had a bad temper, I wouldn't have gone with you this year. I even allowed you to take Chen Xing and Ningning there. Isn't it all for your feelings?" Chen Shuiping snorted softly.
"Okay, Dad, Mom, don't quarrel with each other. A family quarreling is still a family. No matter what Eldest Uncle did wrong in the past, now that we have decided to visit, we should let go of the things that should be let go." Chen Xing stood up with a bitter smile and hurriedly persuaded them to stop. He knew his father's character. He was also a very stubborn person. It was completely possible that they would quarrel with each other.
"I don't want to quarrel with your mother." Chen Shuiping muttered. "When it comes to temper, your brother's temper is worse than anyone else's."
"Both of you are not much better. I don't know who fought with whom at the entrance of the house. You made a fool of yourself." Zou Fang rolled her eyes.
"That's because of your brother." Chen Shuiping said angrily.
"Stop, Dad, Mom, let's stop this topic. Tomorrow, our whole family will go to visit Eldest Uncle's relatives. Let's not talk about anything today." Chen Xing stood up with a smile and stood between his parents, separating them.
Chen Xing, your uncle may be a little stubborn, but he has a backbone. All these years, his family has been living a tough life, but he has never asked us for a single cent. When your father and I got married in the past, he did it for the sake of his child's illness. I heard from your aunt that he regretted and felt guilty about it, but he couldn't let go of his pride, so he cut off all contact with us. Zou Fang still said one sentence.
"He has quarreled with us like that, of course, he is embarrassed to ask us for money." Chen Shuiping pursed his lips.
You can't say it like that. Nowadays, people are very snobbish. Even if they were relatives, once they heard that someone's family had become rich, they would swarm over and ask for this and that. Wen Gang wouldn't do such a thing. If he was snobbish, he would have taken the initiative to apologize and reconcile with his family. Zou Fang shook her head. These years, if it weren't for her husband's resentment and his reluctance to go out, she would have visited Eldest Brother a long time ago.
"He won't do that kind of thing, but you have given him a lot of money through Xiuyuan. Do you think I don't know? I just turn a blind eye to it." Chen Shuiping looked at his wife. The Xiuyuan he mentioned was Zou Fang's eldest sister, Zou Xiuyuan. He knew that his brother-in-law lived a hard life in Zou Wengang's family, but the resentment in the past made him not want to take the initiative to contact Zou Wengang. But after all, Zou Wengang was his wife's biological brother. His wife wanted to help him, so he pretended not to know.
You only know one thing but not the other. The money I gave him through Xiuyuan, he returned all of it. He never took back a single cent. That's why I said that although his temper is as bad and stubborn as yours, he also has a backbone. Zou Fang said.
Hearing his parents' words, Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Every family had its own difficulties. This saying was true. His parents had quarreled a lot because of his uncle. It was just that he didn't know about it.
If it weren't for him, the two old men might have started quarreling again.
"Well, Mom, shouldn't you go make dinner? I'm still waiting for you to make stir-fried beef tonight." Chen Xing smiled.
As Chen Xing spoke, there was a knock on the door. Zou Fang walked over to open the door. When she saw Yang Zhen and Zhang Mingde outside, she was stunned for a moment. Then she immediately smiled. It was Director Yang and Director Zhang. Please come in.
"Sister Zou, I hope I didn't disturb you. Yang Zhen said with a smile.
"No, I can't wait to welcome you. It's the Spring Festival. It's more lively when people come to visit." Zou Fang smiled.
At this time, Chen Xing also heard the sound. He looked to the door and saw Yang Zhen and Zhang Mingde walking in. When they saw Zhang Ningning, they nodded and greeted him. Then they walked to the sofa. Seeing Chen Xing and Chen Shuiping sitting opposite each other and drinking tea, Zhang Mingde said with a smile, "Are Secretary Chen and Brother Chen sipping tea together as father and son?
They're just sitting and drinking tea. " Chen Xing smiled and invited Yang Zhen and Zhang Mingde to take a seat. He had just replied to the two of them, saying that they would meet up when they were free in the next two days. He did not expect that the two of them would come to visit him together.
"It seems that we came at the right time. We're here to have a cup of tea." Yang Zhen also said with a smile.
They sat down and chatted casually with Chen Xing and his son. They just wanted to visit Chen Xing after he came back. There was nothing special, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Chen Xing knew that Zhao Yiping had sent people to investigate Yang Zhen. But from the look of Yang Zhen, he guessed that she must have overcome the difficulties. Otherwise, Yang Zhen would have asked him for help.
"Secretary Chen, when are you going to leave this time?" Yang Zhen took a sip of tea and asked casually.
"I'll leave in the afternoon on the third day of the New Year." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "That's how we cadres are. It's hard for us to take a complete holiday during the New Year."
"That's true. I've forgotten how many years it's been since I officially went to work on the seventh day of the New Year like ordinary people." Zhang Mingde said with a bitter smile.
"You win some, you lose some." Yang Zhen interrupted with a smile.
"Director Yang is right. We enjoy too many privileges that ordinary people don't have, so we really don't have the right to complain." Chen Xing said with a smile. Then, he looked at Yang Zhen. "Director Yang, what happened before the New Year? I heard that Zhao Yiping had sent people to investigate you.
"Secretary Chen, how do you know about this?" Yang Zhen was surprised when he heard Chen Xing's words. Then, he shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I heard it from Chu Rong. She said it was your son who said it." Chen Xing said.
"That brat told me to keep my mouth shut and not to talk nonsense. He can't wait to let everyone know that his father was investigated." Yang Zhen smiled helplessly.
Chu Rong was not an outsider. He believed that Yang Ming had a sense of propriety. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Yang Zhen smiled. Although he said that, he could guess that his son probably wanted to tell this matter to Chen Xing through Chu Rong. However, that brat obviously didn't understand his real intention at that time. It was not that he didn't want to ask Chen Xing for help, but it was not that critical. He wanted to use his relationship with Chen Xing at the critical moment. Good steel should be used on the edge of the blade. The same goes for this relationship. He couldn't ask Chen Xing for help every time something happened. No matter how good his relationship with Chen Xing was, Chen Xing would get tired of it.
"At that time, the bureau was investigating a financial case. I didn't know that the person we were investigating had something to do with Zhao Guoli. Later, I found out, but I pretended that I didn't know about it. I wanted my subordinates to investigate Zhao Yiping. I didn't expect Zhao Yiping to be so ruthless. He didn't ask me but asked the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate me. If Ming De didn't have a personal relationship with Feng Yun, I would still be in the dark." Yang Zhen said with a smile. The Feng Yun he mentioned was the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"How was it solved in the end?" Chen Xing asked.
"How else could it be solved? I didn't dare to be tough with Zhao Yiping. Of course, I could only give in. I asked my subordinates to withdraw the case, and Zhao Yiping didn't force me too much. Thus, the case was left unsettled." Yang Zhen smiled. The Commission for Discipline Inspection didn't investigate him directly, and they didn't have the right to do so. He was now a deputy department official, a provincial official. The Commission for Discipline Inspection was investigating his son's business partner. They wanted to start with the financial issues related to his family. That was why his good-for-nothing son was so nervous. He hurriedly told Chu Rong that he wanted to tell Chen Xing.
In fact, he learned from Zhang Mingde that Feng Yun had only asked his subordinates to put on a show. He didn't want to get involved in this matter. However, the warning signal that Zhao Yiping had sent him through this method was true. He didn't dare to investigate further. He had to give in. After all, Zhao Yiping was the top official. In the end, he gave up and took the initiative to go to the Municipal Party Committee. Thus, the case was put to rest.
Zhao Yiping had already been confirmed to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. With her character, she would probably become more and more domineering. Zhang Mingde interrupted.
"Mingde, I don't agree with you." Yang Zhen smiled. When Zhang Mingde was stunned, he said, "If you ask me, Zhao Yiping is not a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, but she is already domineering enough."
"You're right." When Zhang Mingde heard what Yang Zhen said, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You don't have to care about what happens to Zhao Yiping. Just do your job." Chen Xing said.
"Now, we can only hug each other to keep warm. Although Zhao Yiping doesn't like us, she won't really make a move on us. She doesn't want to shed all pretense of cordiality, and we don't want to take the initiative to provoke her. We'll give in if we can. That's all we can do." Yang Zhen smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. It would be great if Secretary Chen could be transferred back to Sea City. Everyone would be happy.
This was a good suggestion. Mountain Gaze seemed to be quite backward. Secretary Chen, you might as well be transferred back to Mountain Gaze. Zhang Mingde also joined in with a smile.
If any of you are the head of the Central Group, you can transfer me back. " Chen Xing said with a smile.
Fine, then I won't be able to count on it for the rest of my life. Yang Zhen laughed. Mingde, you can work hard. It just so happens that you are the head of the Organization.
You can make fun of me. Zhang Mingde smiled and pointed at Yang Zhen. If you don't count on it for the rest of your life, then I won't have any hope in my next life.
They chatted and laughed. Yang Zhen, Zhang Mingde, and the other leaders of the city were close to Chen Xing. To be exact, they represented the cadres who were close to Zhou Mingfang, and they were destined not to get along with Zhao Yiping. Zhao Yiping was Zhou Zhiming's man. They now knew some secrets between Zhou Mingfang and Zhou Zhiming. The private conflicts between the two had existed long before Zhou Mingfang became the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Hai City. Now Zhou Zhiming was the Governor of Jianghai Province, and Zhou Mingfang had also been transferred to another province to serve as the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Although he was still inferior to Zhou Zhiming, Zhou Mingfang was younger. At their level, age was a treasure. Zhou Mingfang, who was only in his early fifties, had already become the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. His future was also limitless. If they followed Zhou Mingfang, it would not be bad. However, Zhou Mingfang was now beyond the reach of the province. All they could do now was to tuck their tails between their legs. They did not hope to be able to fight against Zhao Yiping, as long as they could protect themselves.
While Chen Xing was chatting with Zhang Mingde and Yang Zhen, in the Jiangxia Hotel of Hai City, which was an ordinary three-star hotel in the downtown area, two men were standing in front of the window, looking at the lively scene on the street outside. They heard one of them curse, "Motherf * cker, making us stay in Hai City to investigate during the New Year."
"Forget it, if you continue to curse, you will have to stay obediently. Who asked us to be pawns?" The other man grinned. "It's just a New Year. It's not a big deal. When this case is over, as long as I can get a promotion, it will be really worth it."
Who knew whether the promise was true or not? Sometimes, the leader's promise was like a fart. Don't hold too much hope. The man who cursed twitched his mouth. "I don't expect to get promoted. I'm just afraid that pawns like us will get involved in a fight of this level. When that time comes, we won't even know how we die."
"Don't worry, it won't be like what you think. The Zhang family is already declining. Moreover, the Commission for Discipline Inspection has always been the Zhang family's weak link. Their influence is pitifully small. If Old Master Zhang was still around, no one would dare to say anything. Now that he's gone, the Zhang family doesn't have that influence anymore. Our Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Zhang family is still not qualified to interfere." The other man laughed.
"Sigh, I don't know what these high-ranking officials are fighting for. What's the point?"
"Because your position is too low, you don't understand what they are fighting for."
"Tsk, you speak as if you understand. Aren't you also a pawn?"
"Haha, that's true. We are all pawns."
The two men laughed in the room. They were making use of the New Year's time to take a break in the afternoon. They slept until just now and were exhausted. They couldn't go back for the New Year. The two men were also miserable. Today is the first day of the New Year. The two of them went out to investigate in the morning and only came back in the afternoon to sleep.
"As for that Huang Ming, I think the investigation is almost done. We can control him first.
This isn't something we can decide. Let's report it to the higher-ups and see what they say. Do you think it's only our team investigating? Heh, there is also a team investigating in the South China Sea. "
