On the highway from Nanzhou to Mount Wang, Zou Yang looked out of the window from time to time. He had stayed in Nanzhou for one night and was going to Mount Wang again today. Zou Yang was excited and expectant. He had a lot to say, but when he saw Chen Xing sitting quietly beside him, he did not dare to say anything. He and Chen Xing were not the only ones in the car. There were two other people sitting in front of them. Listening to the way they addressed Chen Xing, Zou Yang guessed that they should be the subordinates of Chen Xing's uncle.
Secretary, I had nothing to do yesterday afternoon. You didn't call me when you arrived, so I could have picked you up. Li Yong said as he drove.
It's rare that you can rest for a few days during the New Year. I'll let you rest more. Chen Xing smiled.
As he spoke, Chen Xing looked at the time. It was only about eight o 'clock in the morning. They had just gotten on the highway and estimated that they would arrive at Mount Wang at noon. Today was the fourth day of the Chinese New Year. Although it was still the Spring Festival holiday, some work in the city was actually carried out as usual. The Overseas Chinese Fellowship on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year was the focus of the city during the Spring Festival. There were still some overseas Chinese in Wangshan. Chen Xing also hoped to call on these overseas Chinese to return to their hometown to start a business and invest. He had proposed this job from the beginning, so he would attend the fellowship in person.
Xiao Huang, arrange a job for him in the logistics department. By the way, go to the Teachers' College and get him an adult undergraduate course. Chen Xing pointed to Zou Yang beside him and said to Huang Jianghua.
Okay. Huang Jianghua turned his head to look at Zou Yang and nodded. He had just been curious about who the young man with the leader was. After hearing the leader's instructions, Huang Jianghua became more and more confused. He wondered why Chen Xing only arranged a job for the young man in the logistics department. With Chen Xing's status, he could easily arrange a better job for the young man. Was the young man's relationship with Chen Xing different from what he thought?
Secretary, there are also many positions in the logistics department. Which one should we arrange? Huang Jianghua looked at Chen Xing inquiringly. He wanted to find out the relationship between this young man and Chen Xing.
Find out which department is hiring temporary workers and arrange it for them. Chen Xing said.
Hearing this, Huang Jianghua replied with an "oh" and glanced at Zou Yang's face. He was confused and confused. Zou Yang could make Chen Xing arrange a job for him in person and help him contact people about studying. It seemed that Zou Yang had a special relationship with Chen Xing. However, according to Chen Xing, he only arranged a temporary job for Zou Yang in the logistics department, which made people feel that there was no special relationship between them. Huang Jianghua was really confused.
Chen Xing didn't introduce Zou Yang just now, so Huang Jianghua didn't ask much at this time. However, since this young man was with Chen Xing, Huang Jianghua remembered Zou Yang's face.
The car was running on the highway. After a four-hour long distance, it was already 12 o 'clock at noon when they arrived at Wangshan. Chen Xing returned to the guest house first. The four of them had lunch in the guest house. The first thing Chen Xing did after lunch was to visit Xiang Xiurong.
When Chen Xing arrived, Xiang Xiurong was having lunch. She and her husband stayed in the guest house to celebrate the Spring Festival. They lived in seclusion and seldom went out. Even their meals were sent directly by the waiter of the guest house. This was also what Chen Xing had ordered before. Xiang Xiurong should go out as little as possible. The guest house would meet all her needs. Even if it was daily necessities, as long as she gave an order, someone would help her buy them.
Secretary Chen. When Xiang Xiurong saw Chen Xing, she immediately stood up.
"Sit down. Why are you standing?" Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. Looking at the somewhat reserved man next to Xiang Xiurong, Chen Xing said with a smile, "Ms. Xiang, is this your husband?
Yes, he is my husband. " Xiang Xiurong nodded and introduced Chen Xing to her husband, Chen Laifu.
"Hello, Secretary Chen." Chen Laifu greeted Chen Xing respectfully. He had never been in close contact with such a high-ranking official. At this time, he looked at Chen Xing with an unnatural expression.
"You're welcome. Sit down. There are no outsiders here." Chen Xing nodded to Xiang Xiurong and her husband and gestured for them to sit down.
"Ms. Xiang, what's your husband's name?" After sitting down, Chen Xing said with a smile.
"My husband's surname is the same as Secretary Chen's. His name is Chen Laifu." Xiang Xiurong said.
"That's right. In that case, we were a family 500 years ago." Chen Xing looked at Chen Laifu with a smile. He knew that Chen Laifu was a little nervous. Chen Xing also hoped to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
When Chen Laifu heard Chen Xing's words, he just smiled and didn't know how to respond. Xiang Xiurong, who was beside him, helped to say, "Secretary Chen, my husband is a little dull and doesn't talk much. Please don't mind him."
"What's there to mind? This kind of man is more reliable. Ms. Xiang, you've found yourself a good husband." Chen Xing smiled and said, "Are you used to living here? Is there any inconvenience for you to spend the New Year here?"
"No, there's no inconvenience. The staff at the hostel are very considerate. They even bought New Year's goods for us. Even we didn't buy so many New Year's goods for ourselves." Xiang Xiurong smiled bitterly and exchanged glances with her husband. "It's just that it's a little quieter here. Otherwise, it's not a big deal."
"It's a little quieter." When Chen Xing heard Xiang Xiurong's words, he nodded understandingly. He also knew that there weren't many people in the hostel during the New Year, especially the small villas at the back of the hostel. They were isolated from the front of the hostel.
"If you're really bored, you can go out for a walk." Chen Xing thought for a while and said.
"Forget it. Secretary Chen, you've said that we should go out as little as possible. I think it makes sense." Xiang Xiurong shook his head. Chen Xing didn't really restrict their freedom. He just suggested that they go out less. Xiang Xiurong was not an unreasonable person. He knew that Chen Xing was thinking about them.
"It's true that you should go out less. But I can understand that you're really bored here." Chen Xing sighed.
"It's okay. Anyway, we won't stay here forever. After Qian Xinlai is punished, we'll be free. I believe that Secretary Chen won't disappoint us, right?" Xiang Xiurong looked at Chen Xing with burning eyes. Her question was full of her expectations and dreams. The greatest meaning of her life now was to see Qian Xinlai punished by the law and to avenge her parents. Now, she pinned all her hopes on Chen Xing.
"Ms. Xiang, don't worry. The law has a long way to go. Those who break the law will definitely be punished by the law." Chen Xing said seriously. This was his promise to Xiang Xiurong.
"With your promise, Secretary Chen, I'm relieved." Xiang Xiurong nodded. Thinking of the notebook, she was worried. "Secretary Chen, is it really okay if the notebook is gone?
"Even if the notebook is gone, we still have you. We'll investigate according to the clues you provide." Chen Xing comforted Xiang Xiurong. "Don't worry. No matter how difficult and difficult it is, we'll keep investigating."
"Well, I believe in you, Secretary Chen." Xiang Xiurong nodded. She could only believe in Chen Xing now. Even the notebook was stolen. She had no other way.
Chen Xing sat in Xiang Xiurong's residence for a while before he left. He returned to his residence next door. Seeing Zou Yang carrying his luggage, Chen Xing frowned and wondered if he should let Zou Yang stay in his small villa for two days.
"Uncle, didn't you arrange a job for me? How about seeing if there is a dormitory? I can live in it directly." Although Zou Yang was young, he was not stupid. Seeing Chen Xing's dilemma, he took the initiative to say.
"Okay." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and nodded. He vaguely saw the disappointment on Zou Yang's face. Chen Xing thought for a moment. While Huang Jianghua and Li Yong were outside, Chen Xing asked Zou Yang to put down his luggage and let him sit next to him.
Little Yang, do you feel that Uncle is a little disdainful of you? Chen Xing patted Zou Yang on the shoulder and said.
Zou Yang remained silent. Even though he was the one who suggested to stay at Chen Xing's hostel, Chen Xing nodded his head in agreement. Zou Yang couldn't help but feel disappointed. He felt that this high and mighty uncle before him still looked down on poor relatives like him.
"Yang, since I promised to bring you to Mountain Gaze, I won't look down on you. I also came from an ordinary family. Do you think I'm the kind of person who looks down on relatives and friends?" Chen Xing looked at Zou Yang. He felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Zou Yang. Zou Yang was still growing up. Chen Xing didn't want to leave a bad psychological shadow on him.
"Although I'm the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee now, I also have my own difficulties. Officialdom is not something that a little guy like you can understand. I don't let you call me uncle in front of others because I don't want others to know our relationship. It's not that I dislike you, but I'm afraid that after someone knows our relationship, some people with ulterior motives will approach you. You're still young, and it's easy for you to resist temptation. I'm afraid that you will go astray and be used by others. Do you understand? "Chen Xing said earnestly.
"Uncle, I understand what you mean. You're afraid that someone will use me to harm you, aren't you?" Listening to Chen Xing's words, Zou Yang quickly understood.
"Not entirely." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "I'm more afraid that you're young and can't resist temptation. You'll be used and go astray. Of course, what you said is also part of the reason.
"Uncle, don't worry. I understand what you mean. I won't drag you down. In the future, in front of outsiders, I'll keep my mouth shut and never let anyone know about my relationship with you." Zou Yang patted his chest and said.
"It's good that you can think like this. I'm telling you this because I hope you won't misunderstand. I brought you to Mountain Gaze because I hope you can have a bright future and win glory for your parents, as well as for your grandparents." Chen Xing nodded with a smile.
"I will. I also have to work hard. I can't let you down." Zou Yang nodded vigorously.
Seeing that Zou Yang was so sensible, Chen Xing nodded with relief and said with a smile, "Well, you'll go with Secretary Huang later. I'll ask him to arrange a dormitory for you. He'll also arrange for you to go to the Normal College to study. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can call me. In addition to work, you should study hard.
"I know. I'll work hard." Zou Yang replied softly.
Chen Xing stood up, called Huang Jianghua in, and asked him to make arrangements for Zou Yang.
Watching Zou Yang leave, Chen Xing shook his head. Finally, he had solved this matter first. He hoped that Zou Yang would not let him down.
After putting down the clothes he had brought with him, Chen Xing did not stay in the small villa for long. He went to the office of the Municipal Party Committee. Most people were still on vacation today, but as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he had to start working.
Thinking about Xiang Xiurong, Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. Although he had given Xiang Xiurong a guarantee, he was not optimistic about the future.
Zhang Wanzheng's transfer was a big blow to Chen Xing. At least when Zhang Wanzheng was the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, he would cooperate with him in his work and resolutely carry out his instructions. Now, he didn't know what kind of person the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection would be. Even Ge Jian-Ming didn't know much about him. Chen Xing didn't know whether the new Secretary would cooperate with him like Zhang Wanzheng. What he was doing now, whether it was the anti-corruption work he led or the investigation of Qian Xinlai's case, was inseparable from the support of the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Secretary, Minister Yuanfei is looking for you. Near evening, General Office Director Wei Sida came in to report. He had also come to work today and couldn't rest even if he wanted to. As Chen Xing started working, the people who served the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee had to start working normally.
Invite him in. When Chen Xing heard that Xu Yuanfei, the Minister of the United Front, had come, he immediately guessed that the other party must be here for the upcoming Qiaoxiang Fellowship Party. This matter had always been the United Front Department's responsibility.
In the city, a car with a Nanzhou license plate slowly drove into the New City Hotel. A man in his early forties got out of the car. After the man got out of the car, Qian Xinlai, who had been waiting at the door, immediately greeted him with a face full of smiles.
Director Huang, I'll have to call you Secretary Huang from now on. Qian Xinlai strode forward and grasped the other party's hands tightly.
Director Qian, you're treating me like an outsider. The man smiled faintly. He was also quite pleased to hear that Qian Xinlai had intentionally removed the word "deputy" from his title. Looking at the New City Building in front of him, the man was a little surprised. Although he had known Qian Xinlai for a long time, it was the first time he had come to Mount Wang.
If Zhang Wanzheng were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that the man was Huang Jincheng, the candidate to replace him as the Secretary of the Wangshan City Commission for Discipline Inspection.
