Zeng Jing's eyes widened, and when she looked at Chen Xing in front of her and Wu Gang behind her, Zeng Jing's already red eyes moistened slightly, and she covered her mouth, Zeng Jing was afraid that she would cry, and she would not show her weak side in front of outsiders.

Driving Lin Mao away, Chen Xing turned his head to look at Zeng Jing, this strong woman was indeed a lot haggard, and at this moment, Chen Xing didn't know what to say to comfort.

"Zeng Jing, mourning and change." After a moment of silence, Chen Xing said heavily.

Zeng Jing nodded, she didn't expect Chen Xing to come over, at this moment, she had already calmed down, looking at Chen Xing, Zeng Jing said gratefully, "Mayor Chen, thank you for coming." ”

"We are friends, and we had dinner with Jiang Yi a few years ago, I remember all of this, and I came to see him off for the last time, as it should be." Chen Xing nodded and said.

After Zeng Jing's family found out Chen Xing's identity, they all bowed to Chen Xing gratefully at this time.

Chen Xing said some comforting words, didn't stay long, and quickly left the funeral home, this kind of occasion, not the time to catch up, Chen Xing also knew that Zeng Jing was now more immersed in sadness, and after the memorial service today, Zeng Jing also had to be busy with the rest of the matter.

Leaving with Wu Gang, Chen Xing looked at the time and said, "Wu Gang, I'll go back to Haicheng directly after lunch to do something." ”

"So fast?" Wu Gang was a little surprised, and then said, "Aren't you going to stay for one night, maybe Zeng Jing will look for you at night, you came so far away, she has to come to thank you for everything." ”

"No, I'll go back to Haicheng in the afternoon, stay in Haicheng for one night, and I'll go back to Nanzhou tomorrow morning." Chen Xing smiled, "Jiang Yi's funeral is not over yet, Zeng Jing has to be busy these days, so I won't leave time to delay her." ”

"How can it be called a delay, she should come to thank her." Wu Gang shook his head and said.

"We're all old friends, there's nothing we shouldn't do." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat." ”

"We all went to the restaurant where we had dinner when we were training at the party school before, do you remember?" Wu Gang smiled, "Or go there and eat." ”

"Okay, let's go there, I still have a bit of an impression of that place, but if I drive to find it myself, I won't find a place." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"I've been in the market a lot, and I'm much more familiar with the city than you." Wu Gang smiled and drove to the restaurant.

The two sat down to eat together, it was inevitable to talk about the old things, Wu Gang talked about Chen Bin in the same dormitory at the time, Chen Bin is not very good now, has been Jiangcheng City Industrial and Commercial Bureau, used to have a little real power, since he was transferred to an idle position, he has not been able to get up again, when he was studying in the party school, everyone was together, the relationship was good, that would be regarded as high-spirited, a few years have passed, the years of this pig-killing knife in addition to making people look old, also let the world change, Wu Gang said this, it is also embarrassing.

"Chen Bin is still in the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce?" Chen Xing asked.

"Well, it's been a long time, I haven't had much contact with him, but I probably still know how he's going, and I ran into him once a few days ago." Wu Gang smiled, "He is now less frivolous than he used to be, much more stable, and very low-key, not much talking, which is very different from before." ”

"It's time to be steady, it's more than thirty people." Chen Xing smiled, he and Chen Bin didn't know how long they hadn't met, and they weren't too impressed.

The two chatted while eating, after lunch, Chen Xing asked Wu Gang to send him to Minghuai Road, where the villa community of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee was located, since Chen Xing arrived in Jiangcheng, he undoubtedly wanted to visit Huang Kunming, and was transferred from the Secretary of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee to the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee.

Chen Xing called in advance, so Huang Kunming was not surprised by Chen Xing's arrival, but Chen Xing would come to visit him, Huang Kunming was undoubtedly very happy, very warm reception, Chen Xing's father-in-law Zhang Guohua has now entered the political bureau, Chen Xing has the support of the Zhang family in the future, and the achievements will inevitably not be small, Huang Kunming intends to befriend Chen Xing, a young upstart, just by virtue of the fact that when Chen Xing was still working in Ximen County before, he was the leader of Chen Xing, and with this relationship, the two will not be separated.

Chen Xing sat at Huang Kunming's house for half an hour, because Huang Kunming was going to work, Chen Xing said goodbye and left, did not let anyone pick him up, and also refused Huang Kunming's kindness to send him a car, Chen Xing took a taxi to Jiangcheng Station and got on a long-distance bus to Haicheng.

The seats on the bus are undoubtedly not as comfortable as a private car, Chen Xing doesn't know how long he hasn't been in this kind of bus, since he served as the county magistrate in Ximen County, Haicheng City, there are special cars in and out, and he hasn't been in a bus for many years, and he, the big mayor, is an ordinary passenger today.

Bought a ticket to get on the bus, the car was about to start, Chen Xing was the last to get on the bus, holding the ticket and was about to sit in the right number, Chen Xing found that the seat marked on his ticket was already occupied, a very handsome young man, dyed red hair, very eye-catching, next to a beautiful short-haired girl, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, looked very civil.

Chen Xing was slightly stunned, took the ticket and checked the position again, and then said to the red-haired young man, "This is my seat, thank you." ”

"Who dictates that you have to be seated? Go, there's an empty seat behind you, you sit there, everyone sits casually, what are you more serious. The red-haired young man glared at Chen Xingdao.

Chen Xing was stunned, he really didn't know if the other people in the car were seated in the right place, if they really sat casually, then there was no point in him caring about this, seeing that there was an empty seat next to the aisle, Chen Xing simply sat down, too lazy to take it seriously, it seemed that there was such an empty seat left on the car.

As soon as Chen Xing sat down, the car had already started, raised his hand and looked at the time, Chen Xing pondered that it was almost three or four o'clock when he should arrive in Haicheng, picked up the phone and called Yang Zhen, and asked the other party to send a car to the station to pick him up.

"Mayor Chen, why don't you call first, if I know that you are in Jiangcheng, I will be picked up by Jiangcheng no matter how busy I am." Yang Zhen was very surprised when he heard on the phone that Chen Xing was coming by long-distance bus from Jiangcheng to Haicheng, he didn't know that Chen Xing would come back to Jianghai, and he didn't expect Chen Xing to take the bus, so he smiled bitterly on the phone.

"You are all busy people, I don't want to make a lot of trouble and delay your work when I come back." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Mayor Chen, what else have you seen with me, it's rare for you to come back, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time." Yang Zhen laughed, "Then I'll wait for you at the station first." ”

After making a phone call with Yang Zhen, Chen Xing put away his mobile phone, turned his head to look out the window, this line from Jiangcheng to Haicheng, he was both familiar and unfamiliar, a few years ago, I don't know how many times he went back and forth, whether it was to be Zhou Mingfang's secretary, follow Zhou Mingfang to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, or the relationship with Zhao Qing earlier, when he went to Zhao Qing's house to see his parents, and in order to obtain the consent of his parents, he didn't know how many times he ran to Jiangcheng, it can be said that the buildings on both sides of the road at that time, he could know with his eyes closed.

Now that time has passed, Chen Xing looked at the landscape on both sides of the road outside the window again, several years have passed, whether it is urban or rural, it has changed greatly, and he can vaguely find some shadows of the past, but more is a little strange to Chen Xing.

In the past, when you went out of the city, you could still see some private houses on both sides of the road, but now they are also covered with high-rise buildings.

Looking out the window for a while, Chen Xing was also a little tired, and was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, it would take a short time to get to Haicheng, enough to sleep, he had been running around today, and he was really tired.

As soon as he closed his eyes for a moment, the mobile phone rang, Chen Xing took it out and took a look, and saw that it was Shao Huadong calling, Chen Xing picked it up.

"Mayor, tomorrow the province will convene a meeting of the top leaders of the party committees and governments of various cities and cities, just after the notice, when will you come back?" On the phone, Shao Huadong said that he thought Chen Xing was still in the capital, for fear that Chen Xing would not be able to catch up with tomorrow's meeting.

"Will it be in the morning or in the afternoon?" Chen Xing was stunned.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon." Shaohua East Road.

When Chen Xing heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was going to return to Nanzhou tomorrow morning, and he could catch up, if he had a meeting tomorrow morning, he would have to change his itinerary, and he would have to rush back to Nanzhou in the evening.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning, just in time." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"That's good." When Shao Huadong heard this, he didn't say anything more, and chatted with Chen Xing for a few words, saying that it might be related to the incident in which a large number of people in Wangshan City staged a sit-in in front of the gate of the provincial government a few days ago.

After chatting a few words, the two hung up the phone, Chen Xing was slightly distracted, if it is related to the sit-in incident a few days ago, it is really possible, although the problem is in Wangshan City, but so many people come to Nanzhou, run to the gate of the provincial government to meditate, the bad impact can be imagined, the province attaches importance to and convenes a meeting of the top leaders of the prefecture and city, and requires all localities to do a good job and resolutely prevent such incidents from happening again It is not impossible.
