Chapter 35: Birth
Find the number and call Zhong Ling, Chen Xing, who felt like a blind date, had a strange feeling in his heart, "Hey, is it Teacher Zhong?" ”
Chen Xing asked, but found that there was no sound on the other side of the phone, and at the same time, a young woman sitting in a few seats in front of Chen Xing took the phone and looked back.
The woman walked in the direction of Chen Xing, and as soon as Chen Xing looked up, he also saw the woman walking towards him, and it was the delicate and feminine girl he saw when he passed by just now.
"You're Teacher Chen's son, aren't you?" The woman smiled and raised the phone in her hand.
"Teacher Chen? Oh yes, it's me, Mr. Zhong, please take a seat, please take a seat. Chen Xing was slightly stunned, and then stood up with a smile.
Chen Xing's mind was a little in a trance, the woman was so much more beautiful when she smiled than when she didn't smile, at that moment just now, he was a little distracted, the woman's smile was very sweet, the corners of her mouth were crooked, with two small dimples, which made people's eyes involuntarily attracted to it.
"My name is Zhong Ling, don't call me Teacher Zhong one by one." The woman sat down, smiling a little shyly, and the two small dimples were still so eye-catching.
"Nacheng, don't bite a 'you', if you don't change 'you' first, I won't change your mouth."
With a snort, Zhong Ling couldn't help laughing, and then covered his mouth a little embarrassed, "Your mouth is so poor, you don't look like Teacher Huang at all." "Urban tycoon 35
"People say that sons are like mothers, and I think that's quite reliable." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and handed over the list, "What flavor do you want to drink?" ”
"Bring me a cup of original."
The two sat down, the initial atmosphere was a little dull, maybe it was because of the first meeting, even Chen Xing was not very open, for fear of abrupt beauty.
"How long has it been since Mr. Zhong graduated?"
"How long has Mr. Chen been working?"
Abruptly, as if they had a heart, the two spoke at the same time.
The two who spoke were stunned, glanced at each other, and then both laughed, but the strange and stiff atmosphere at first was quietly becoming natural.
At the meeting, the only opposition voice was completely disposed of after the former mayor Zeng Xueping was transferred and the new mayor Zhao Yiping arrived.
Zhao Yiping expressed support for Zhou Mingfang's proposal
Regardless of whether the project of this sea-crossing bridge is in line with the current actual situation in Haicheng, it is impossible for her, who has just arrived, to oppose Zhou Mingfang, who has great authority in Haicheng.
The lessons of the past are just around the corner.
Compared with the political pattern of Haicheng, although Zhao Yiping is an authentic outsider, but before coming, Zhao Yiping was not ignorant of the situation in Haicheng, Zeng Xueping's transfer was a warning to her, in Haicheng, Zhou Mingfang, the secretary of the municipal party committee who hung the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, was like a mountain in front of all Haicheng party and government cadres.
Outside the conference room of the Standing Committee, Chen Xing saw Zhao Yiping again, Zhao Yiping's footsteps paused slightly, there was no deliberately close expression on his face, and he did not show the condescending posture of the past, nodded his head at him, and then left with crisp footsteps.
"Chen Xing, did you make an appointment with Zhong Ling tonight?"
In the evening, Chen Xing returned home for dinner, and as soon as he changed his shoes at the door, his mother Zou Fang had already come out of the kitchen. Urban tycoon 35
"Mom, it's me on a blind date, or are you on a blind date, looking at you more anxious than me." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"I'm not in a hurry, who is in a hurry, raise your kid with hard work, look at you, you are twenty-seven years old this year, the eldest man, I didn't even have a daughter-in-law to bring back to your mother, it's really embarrassing for me, how can your mother and my son be so uncompromising."
"Okay, Mom, no matter how angry you are, your son is not."
"That's, isn't it my son who can be so 'beautiful'." Zou Fang raised his head proudly.
"That's not it, Mom, you can go in and cook, you see, since you came back to live with Dad, I come home on time every day, not to eat the food you cooked." Chen Xing smiled and pushed his mother into the kitchen.
"Slow, slow." Zou Fang stopped, turned his head and scolded with a smile, "You kid, if you accidentally want to be 'touched' by you in troubled waters, you say first, I don't make an appointment with Zhong Ling tonight, you came back last night and said it yourself, Zhong Ling is really beautiful, such a girl with a water spirit, if you don't hurry up, you will really be snatched away." ”
"Mom, I know, I have my own measure, don't worry about it."
"Use this sentence to prevaricate me again, you have a sense of proportion every day, and I haven't seen you find a girlfriend, I tell you, chasing girls is to strike while the iron is hot, you just met with Zhong Ling last night, and you have to work harder these days, ask more girls out to play, as long as she doesn't object, it means that you have half the success." Zou Fang smiled and gave Chen Xing advice.
"Mom
Wait, I'll take a call first. Chen Xing took out the mobile phone that kept vibrating in his pocket, and when he looked at the call number, it was an unfamiliar number, and he couldn't help frowning, and picked up the phone suspiciously.
"Chen Xing, it's me, Zhao Yiping."
Zhao ...... Mayor Zhao? Chen Xing's surprise was beyond words.
"Chen Xing, if you have time now, I'll invite you to tea." Zhao Yiping's voice was very friendly.
Chen Xing's brows were tightly furrowed, Zhao Yiping invited him to tea? To say yes or not to agree?
"Mayor Zhao, where are you now, I'll go over to look for you." Almost after a moment's hesitation, Chen Xing made his choice.
"That's it, Chen Xing, you tell me the location of your house, and I'll ask the driver to pick you up."
Ending the call, Chen Xing stood in place and was stunned, Zhao Yiping took the initiative to send him an invitation, and the verbal title was even more close, which was really unexpected by him, and it was very different from the expression when he met each other outside the meeting room of the municipal party committee in the morning.
"Who called, which Mayor Zhao?"
"Except for the new Mayor Zhao, which Mayor Zhao can there be in Haicheng." Chen Xing replied to his mother's words, but still did not react from the phone call just now.
"Zhao Yiping? What is she still looking for you for, just look down on you a few years ago, and now that she is the mayor, she still wants to ridicule you. Zou Fang said a little unhappily.
"Mom, you think too much, I'm Secretary Zhou's secretary now, as long as Zhao Yiping has a bit of political IQ, it's impossible to do that kind of thing again." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, "She called me just now, her tone was a little courteous, she definitely didn't look for me to go out as you thought." ”
"She's courting you? I see, she is a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, uneasy and kind, Chen Xing, you are now Secretary Zhou's secretary, everyone knows that Secretary Zhou is a man of his word in Haicheng, Zhao Yiping is new to the city now, and she must be anxious to understand Zhou Mingfang more thoroughly, or learn about Secretary Zhou's various ideas from the people around Secretary Zhou in a timely manner, you are the person closest to Secretary Zhou, she must want to start with you. Zou Fang analyzed the head of the way, "Chen Xing, you must be vigilant, I saw it a few years ago, her kind of woman is a pure snob, she is interested in your usefulness, so she took the initiative to find you, otherwise people are now getting bigger and bigger, and they have become big mayors, is it necessary to take the initiative to find you." ”
"Mom, don't worry, your son and I have inherited your excellent genes here." Chen Xing comforted his mother and pointed to his brain with a smile.
"You two are when I don't exist
Isn't it, Chen Xing, tell me, you inherited your mother's excellent genes, then your father and my genes are not excellent, right, you explain it to me well today. Chen Ping said angrily on the side.
"Mom, Dad is crazy, I slipped away, take care."
"He dares, look at me and I don't clean him up."
Sitting in Zhao Yiping's mayor's car, Chen Xing stared out the window absentmindedly, and the landscape on both sides of the road was running in the opposite direction of the car, fleeting.
The scenery that disappeared with the car was like the picture in Chen Xing's memory, page by page, but it became a thing of the past with the passage of time.
"Master, where is this?" Chen Xing noticed that the car was moving away from the city center.
"Secretary Chen, Mayor Zhao is waiting for you at a café on the outskirts of the city."
The Shengshi Tea Store in the suburbs of the city has a lot of popularity in Haicheng, and there are also several branches in the urban area, Chen Xing doesn't know how Zhao Yiping, who has just arrived in Haicheng, would know here, and deliberately found this in the suburbs.
"Chen Xing, we haven't seen each other for a few years."
Tonight, Zhao Yiping was wearing a slightly casual lady's dress, a little less of the majesty of the mayor and a little more of the affinity of the elders, Chen Xing guessed whether this was the atmosphere that Zhao Yiping deliberately created.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, and Mayor Zhao is not old at all."
"Hehe, Chen Xing, your mouth is becoming more and more able to speak, and when you become the leader's secretary, the level is different."
"Mayor Zhao laughed, I'm telling the truth, you haven't aged at all, you're still so young."
"Yes." Zhao Yiping glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, "Chen Xing, I remember that you used to call me Aunt Zhao, and you didn't see each other for a few years?" If I call you Chen Xing, you should call me Aunt Zhao, that's fine. ”
Chen Xing smiled indifferently, Zhao Yiping at this moment gave him more and more strange feelings, the Zhao Yiping in his impression only had indifference and ridicule to him, that was the Zhao Yiping he was familiar with, not wearing a false mask like this at the moment.
"Hey, Chen Xing, I know you have a grudge against me." Zhao Yiping sighed suddenly, "But as a mother, I am also selfish, I hope that my daughter can live a happy life, and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, instead of running around and working hard for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in this cruel society full of competition in reality
I have endured hardships, so I hope that my daughter can live happily all the time, you should understand my hardships as a mother, at that time your career was undecided, and it was indeed inappropriate to be with Xiaoqing. ”
"I understand Mayor Zhao's feelings, and you are also thinking about your daughter's happiness."
"Look, you kid still can't figure it out, one by one, Mayor Zhao shouted, you have been to your aunt's house several times."
