Chapter 79: Involving Others
Fang Haisheng only felt that he was wronged, if it was because of his work or if he really had a problem with his style, he would admit that he was taken down. But because of the jealousy between Zheng Lifeng and Zhang Chenxing, he was really unwilling!
Mixed in the officialdom, it is not uncommon to see similar things, Fang Haisheng is not unacceptable in his heart, and he has no intention of resenting Zhang Chenxing, but he has a breath in his chest, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
When the scene was a little embarrassing, Wang Xuezhi knocked on the door and brought another dish in.
Wang Xuezhi immediately felt the discordant atmosphere between the two, so after putting down the plate and walking out of the private room, she frowned and thought about it, and came to Zhang Chenxing's private room.
After a few pleasantries, Wang Xuezhi asked, "Dr. Zhang, I remember that Director Fang of the Environmental Protection Bureau invited you to dinner a few days ago, I don't know what your relationship is?"
"Oh, that's the elder of one of my classmates, I don't know why Sister Wang suddenly asked about him?" Zhang Chenxing felt a little strange.
"That's right, before you came, Director Fang also invited Director Mu of the Environmental Protection Bureau to have dinner here, and Director Fang looked sad, as if he had something to ask Director Mu for. When I was serving the food just now, I found that the atmosphere between them was a little awkward, and the conversation should have collapsed, so I asked by the way. Saying that, Wang Xuezhi waved his hand and beckoned: "I have nothing to do, so I'll go down and boil water for you, and see that your guest should almost arrive." ”
Wang Xuezhi actually came specifically to remind Zhang Chenxing that if there was anything between Fang Haisheng and him, he might be able to take a turn from him. But she didn't know the relationship between the two, so she stopped talking, and it was up to Zhang Chenxing to deal with it.
As soon as he heard Fang Haisheng, Zhang Chenxing couldn't help but think of Zheng Lifeng, this guy tried his best to frame himself, and if he didn't do it, he would do something unfavorable to Fang Haisheng. If it was really because he was involved in Fang Haisheng, then he would have to help him anyway, so he thought about it and let He Liang continue to wait here and see what was going on by himself.
After being embarrassed for a while, Fang Haisheng finally made a decision in his heart, poured himself another glass of wine, picked it up and said: "Director Mu, I know this time, and I don't blame you! To be honest, I am very grateful that you asked me to invite you to this meal, and I know that you still remember my work in the Environmental Protection Bureau for so many years." I won't trouble you anymore, you can deal with it as you want when the time comes, and I admit it. But I hope that this matter will not affect the relationship between you and me, and you will still be my old leader in the future, if there is anything I can do, just give me orders!"
Fang Haisheng was about to drink it all by himself, but he didn't expect Mu Ning to move at this time, he skillfully picked up his wine glass and touched it with Fang Haisheng, and then said earnestly: "Xiao Fang, for you personally, to be honest, I admire you very much, you are one of the few people in the bureau who can do something practical in a down-to-earth manner! But when we do our work, we can't just rely on political achievements, we also have to be appreciated by someone, and no one can stumble! You have done a very bad job this time, and if you offend people who can't afford to be provoked, you will inevitably suffer some suffering!"
Unexpectedly, Mu Ning suddenly clinked glasses with himself, Fang Haisheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and said: "What Director Mu said is true, but there are things in the world that can't be avoided at all! Originally, I didn't expect to be promoted to the department level in my life, but all of a sudden, I was forced to be promoted by half a level! I also blame my thin life, I can't afford such a position, and I offended people on the day I got the news, this is fate!" he tilted his neck and swallowed another glass of wine.
When Zhang Chenxing walked out of his box, he was deliberately listening to the conversation in Fang Haisheng's box, and happened to hear these words in his ears.
"On the day I got the news, this should be the day of the last party, right? It seems that I really implicated him, and Zheng Lifeng has already begun to put on small shoes for him. Zhang Chenxing thought with a frown.
"Speaking of which, Liu Shicheng is really unlucky, he is much younger than you, and he has Zheng Lifeng's way, I am afraid that the future is still above me! But accidentally, it was planted on a random spot check of the city bureau, and even the files in the system were cancelled, and he will not be able to come back in this life!" I don't know whether to sigh or comfort Fang Haisheng, Mu Ning sighed and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, and Mu Ning casually shouted, "Come in." ”
Fang Haisheng turned his head to see that Zhang Chenxing walked in when the door opened, and he couldn't help but be stunned, then stood up and asked, "It turned out to be Zhang Chenxing, why are you here?"
Zhang Chenxing said with a smile: "Hehe, I am also here to invite someone to dinner, and I just happened to hear that Director Fang is also here, so I came over to say hello." ”
Seeing that this young man came in like this, Mu Ning was a little confused, leaned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "......Who is this?"
"Oh, let me introduce you, this is a top student of Jiaotong University, Dr. Zhang Chenxing!" After speaking, Fang Haisheng introduced to Zhang Chenxing: "This is Director Mu of our Environmental Protection Bureau. ”
"Hello Director Mu. Out of politeness, Zhang Chenxing reached out to shake hands with the other party.
As soon as he heard that it was just a student, Mu Ning's interest immediately disappeared mostly, and he sat back in the chair with his buttocks, reached out and touched it perfunctorily, and shrank back without even saying a word.
On such occasions, people with low status will generally find an opportunity to go over and toast to show respect for the person with high status, and by the way, they will be familiar. But Zhang Chenxing came in empty-handed, Mu Ning thought that he had some background, but he didn't expect that he was just a student who didn't understand the rules! So in Mu Ning's heart, Zhang Chenxing had already been labeled as not deeply involved in the world and not familiar with the world.
Mu Ning's attitude was perfunctory, and Zhang Chenxing naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart.
Zhang Chenxing listened to a few words outside just now, and he could guess a few points about Mu Ning's position, which was nothing more than stammering someone and suppressing the subordinates he admired very much. This kind of practice makes his subordinates feel a little chilling, but there is collusion in the officialdom, otherwise how can they catch up with Gao Zhi? Those who are suppressed often have no background, and they can only endure it alone if they are wronged, so it is normal for Mu Ning to be so perfunctory to himself at this time.
"Uncle Fang, I heard you say that you offended someone outside just now, could it be Zheng Lifeng?" Zhang Chenxing was not a chiseling character, so he asked directly after sitting down.
"No, I'm talking about someone else. Fang Haisheng didn't expect Zhang Chenxing to come up and ask such a question, and quickly denied it.
Even if you want to say this kind of thing, you have to say it privately when no one is around, and now that Director Mu is still here, how can it be convenient to discuss such a problem?
Zhang Chenxing didn't have this consciousness at all, and still said with a smile: "I have affected Uncle Fang in this matter, but I don't know what Uncle Fang is embarrassed about now, you might as well say it, maybe I have a way to help you?"
Seeing Zhang Chenxing's calm and unhurried appearance, as well as his confident and indifferent smile, Mu Ning couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart: "Is this really a person with a background?"
With such an idea, Mu Ning hurriedly put away the shelf he had just put up, bent down slightly and asked, "Does this matter still have anything to do with Dr. Zhang?"
"I and Uncle Fang's niece are classmates, Uncle Fang kindly invited us to dinner that day, Zheng Lifeng didn't know how to come over during the banquet, so he used his father's status to seduce the female classmate, but I was angry and left. Uncle Fang didn't do anything wrong, but he was only affected by me and was excluded by Zheng Lifeng. Zhang Chenxing smiled and continued: "Since this incident was caused by me, I naturally can't let Uncle Fang be implicated. ”
"Dr. Zhang said this, does it have a lot to do with which leader in the city?" Mu Ning inquired cautiously, those who dared not to take Zheng Lifeng in his eyes had to be at least a few other deputy mayors!
"Uh......" Zhang Chenxing usually doesn't lie, so he hesitated for a moment before saying: "I don't know the leaders in the city, but this world is always the most reasonable, and there can't be no place for reason, right?"
At the same time, Zhang Chenxing explained to himself in his heart: "Mao Yongqiang is from the Public Security Bureau, and he can't be counted in the market, although Han Xuejun is in the city, he is not a leader, and as for Han Wenyou, he is in the province, so I don't lie at all when I say this!"
"Where is reasonable?" Mu Ning was stunned for a moment, is this kid pretending to be stupid, or is he serious?
Fang Haisheng didn't know much about Zhang Chenxing, he didn't know if Zhang Chenxing had any background, but if he really had any background, he might as well let him help him.
Thinking like this, Fang Haisheng said with a wry smile: "Dr. Zhang, in fact, I can't blame you for my matter, it was I who accepted bribes from others before, and now being reported by others is my own problem." ”
This sentence seems to blame himself, but in fact, it points out his current predicament, if Zhang Chenxing really has any background, he will naturally solve the problem in relevant aspects.
"Oh, that's right. Zhang Chenxing nodded suddenly. If Fang Haisheng himself was reported for accepting bribes, then Zhang Chenxing would have nothing to say, this kind of behavior was wrong in his opinion, and he should be punished for it.
So after chatting a few more words, Zhang Chenxing left Fang Haisheng's box and returned to the room he had set.
