It was already five o 'clock in the evening when the plane arrived in Nanzhou. No one came to pick them up. After getting off the plane, Chen Xing and Zou Yang went straight to the airport to hail a taxi.
Zou Yang shook his head and looked around. It was the first time for him to go far away, so everything around him was so fresh. He was just 20 years old after the New Year, the age where he was active and playful. When he saw Chen Xing hailing a taxi, Zou Yang's eyes were full of doubt.
"Uncle, aren't you a big leader? Why didn't anyone come to pick you up?" After all, Zou Yang was still a little childish, so he asked out of curiosity.
"Leaders don't necessarily have to be served, right?" Chen Xing smiled and touched Zou Yang's head. "Little Yang, in the future, you should remember to be self-reliant if you can. Don't always expect others to take care of you. You are already an adult, so you should be responsible. Don't let your parents and grandparents worry about you in the future."
"I will." Zou Yang nodded. He knew that Chen Xing was teaching him how to be a man. If his parents spoke to him like this, he would be disgusted and have rebellious thoughts. However, when it came from Chen Xing, Zou Yang didn't feel disgusted at all. His uncle, who was more than ten years older than him, had become his idol. He hoped that one day he could be as powerful as this uncle, and make the director of the police station and the director of the public security bureau stand in front of him with respect.
Seeing that Zou Yang was so obedient, Chen Xing smiled with relief. He didn't know whether Zou Yang was just pretending to be perfunctory or really listening to him. However, seeing that Zou Yang was obedient at least, he was relieved. He thought that it might not be too much of a headache for his mother to take Zou Yang to his side and educate him for a period of time.
There were many taxis outside the airport. Chen Xing randomly hailed one and got in with Zou Yang.
Today was only the third day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Xing gave Huang Jianghua and Li Yong a holiday until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Today, he arrived in Nanzhou first and was not in a hurry to call Li Yong to pick him up at the airport, so that Li Yong could rest for one more night. Li Yong drove for him all year round and basically didn't have any holidays. Chen Xing also empathized with his hard work.
When the car arrived at the downtown area, Chen Xing got off at the Jindu Hotel. Zou Yang was still looking at this strange city with great interest. This was the first time he had left Hai City. The city in front of him made him feel that it was more prosperous than Hai City.
Uncle, didn't you say that the South China Sea is more backward than our Jianghai Province? Why do I see that it is much more prosperous than our Hai City? Zou Yang asked curiously.
The economy of Nanhai Province is indeed not as good as that of Jianghai, but this is the capital of the South China Sea, the most developed place in the province. If it can't even compare with our Hai City, then the South China Sea is not just a little worse. Chen Xing said with a smile. At this time, he could more and more feel the need for the province to focus on Nanzhou in terms of financial resources and policies. As the window that the province wanted to build and a business card that represented the province, Nanzhou really couldn't make people feel that there was an obvious gap between it and other developed coastal cities. With Nanzhou as the center, it would drive and radiate the development of other cities in the province. It had to be said that there was nothing wrong with the province's development idea. However, the unfairness caused by this made other sister cities in the province feel indignant. It was like a stepmother who couldn't get the support and love of her elders.
Uncle, how is the Mountain Gaze where you are? Zou Yang asked excitedly. He was already full of yearning for the city he was about to go to.
Mount Gaze is far worse than that. You'll know when you get there. Chen Xing said with a smile.
How is it compared with our Hai City? Zou Yang was like a young man who had just seen the world and was full of curiosity about everything.
It's a lot behind our Hai City. There's at least a ten-year gap in development. Chen Xing smiled.
A ten-year gap in development? How much is that? Zou Yang scratched his head.
You'll know when you get to Mount Gaze. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. Zou Yang didn't understand this at all.
Let's go and have dinner first. Chen Xing greeted Zou Yang and walked into the hotel.
In the Jindu Hotel, Chen Xing had his own private room, which was also served by a special waiter. Every time he came, the waiter would report to his superior immediately. This was also why Lu Xiaojing and Huang Ming could know that he had come to the hotel in time. However, today, Lu Xiaojing and Huang Ming were still in their hometown in Hai City for the New Year. Chen Xing thought that he would probably be able to have a quiet dinner with his nephew, Zou Yang. Unexpectedly, he had just sat down for a while when someone knocked on the door.
It was not the waiter who came in, but Tan Fang. When she saw Chen Xing, Tan Fang smiled respectfully. It was Secretary Chen.
Assistant Tan was working today? Chen Xing was a little surprised to see Tan Fang.
Boss Lu and Boss Huang went back to Hai City for the New Year, so I came here more often. Anyway, I had nothing to do at home. Tan Fang nodded.
Hearing this, Chen Xing knew that Tan Fang was now divorced and spending the New Year alone. He didn't say much at this time, so as not to remind her of her sadness.
Secretary Chen, do you want a drink? I'll open it for you. Tan Fang glanced at Zou Yang, who was sitting next to her, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She wondered who this young man was and why he could eat alone with Chen Xing. As she thought about it, she walked to the wine cabinet. There was a special wine cabinet in Chen Xing's private room, which was specially used to store some high-end wine. At this time, Tan Fang had already taken out a bottle of red wine.
Assistant Tan, you don't need to open it. Chen Xing waved his hand and said, "Go about your business. You don't need to greet me here.
Secretary Chen, if you need anything, you can ask the waiter to call me. " Hearing Chen Xing's words, Tan Fang put the wine back.
"Uncle, do you have someone to serve you every time you come to eat?" Zou Yang asked Chen Xing. He had already stood up and walked to the wine cabinet next to him. When he saw Maotai, Wuliangye, and some foreign wine with English written on it, Zou Yang's face was full of excitement.
"Uncle, this is XO. I heard it when I went to a bar with someone before. This kind of wine costs tens of thousands of yuan. It's very expensive." Zou Yang took out a bottle of wine and said excitedly to Chen Xing. He didn't know the other English letters, but he knew the word "XO".
Chen Xing turned his head to take a look and shook his head with a smile. There were even more expensive wines in the wine cabinet. After he had a regular meal in this private room, Huang Ming had specially asked someone to make a wine cabinet and stuffed it with all kinds of expensive wines. It was convenient for him to serve guests. At that time, he asked Huang Ming to take the wine away, but Huang Ming insisted on leaving it there. However, he basically didn't touch it.
Chen Xing didn't speak, but Zou Yang continued, "Uncle, can you drink as much as you want in this wine cabinet? Is it given to you by the hotel staff?
Yang, put the wine back. " Chen Xing shook his head slightly. From Zou Yang's words and expression, he felt that Zou Yang seemed to have a yearning for privileges. Chen Xing couldn't help but say again, "Yang, do you remember what I said before? In the future, when there are outsiders, don't call me uncle, and don't use my name to do anything. If I find out, I will send you back to Hai City."
"Uncle, I will remember." Zou Yang drooped his head. When Chen Xing became serious, he was a little afraid. At this time, he put the wine in his hand back into the cabinet, walked back to the chair and sat down obediently.
"Uncle, if I don't call you uncle, what should I call you?" Zou Yang suddenly said.
"This …" Chen Xing was stunned. He really didn't think of this at the moment.
"Uncle, how about I also call you Secretary Chen like others?" Zou Yang said to himself.
"Okay." Hearing Zou Yang's words, Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. He didn't want anyone to know the special relationship between him and Zou Yang, because he didn't want people with ulterior motives to deliberately approach Zou Yang. After all, Zou Yang was still a child, and it was easy for him to get lost and degenerate.
The two of them had dinner. Zou Yang was very interested in all kinds of expensive wine in the cabinet, especially the bottle of XO, which was boasted to be too expensive in the bar. Zou Yang also wanted to have a taste, but Chen Xing didn't say anything, so Zou Yang could only eat obediently.
After dinner, Chen Xing booked a room in the hotel and asked Zou Yang to stay in Jindu Hotel for the night. After staying for a while, Chen Xing went to Jiang Wan's residence.
He didn't tell Jiang Wan in advance. When Chen Xing arrived, Jiang Wan was very surprised. Jiang Wan, who had just returned to the apartment, was eager to cook some snacks for Chen Xing.
Jiang Wan, I just finished dinner not long ago. Do you want me to be stuffed to death? Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. Every time he came over, Jiang Wan was like a gentle little wife, which always made him feel like he had come home.
She was afraid that you would be hungry. Jiang Wan walked over with a happy smile on her face. She didn't expect Chen Xing to come over. Because she didn't expect it, she was very happy.
"Are you still so busy until the New Year?" Chen Xing looked at the time. It was already past eight o 'clock.
"It's not too late. It's fine to come back early. It's better to stay in the restaurant." Jiang Wan smiled. "Besides, my parents can't stay idle in Nanzhou. They said that they have to go home for the New Year no matter what. They will go back after the first day of the New Year."
"Oh, you went back yesterday?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yes, I went back yesterday, but only my parents went back. My brother didn't go back." Jiang Wan nodded. She liked to chat with Chen Xing, which made her feel like they were a couple, which made her feel very comfortable.
"Your brother's legs are not good, so there's no need for him to run around." Chen Xing smiled and put his arm around Jiang Wan's waist. Jiang Wan, who was wearing casual clothes, was like a young and energetic woman. The two different temperaments were reflected in her body, but they didn't contradict each other at all. Instead, they added to her charm.
