Early in the morning, Chen Xing simply washed up, trotted down the two-story building, several big banyan trees in the blue brick courtyard rose from the ground like a few towering giants, tall and straight, the green leaves of the trees dotted with the green of the courtyard, making people feel relaxed and happy unconsciously, Chen Xing jumped a few times in the courtyard, stretched his limbs from time to time, did the simplest exercises, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and then picked up the briefcase and walked out.

"Chen County, I'm out." Coming out of the side door of the guest house, Chen Xing met Wang Cai, the general manager of the guest house, I don't know why, every time Chen Xing sees the other party, especially the fat on the other party, Chen Xing always thinks of the puppy named Wangcai in Stephen Chow's movie, compared with the puppy, Wang Cai in front of him is an enlarged version of Wangcai.

At this moment, as soon as Wang Cai saw Chen Xing, he stopped with a smile, greeted Chen Xing with a smile on his face, the two fat balls on his cheeks shook and shook, and the signature little eyes narrowed into a slit again.

Chen Xingchong nodded slightly at the other party, and was about to leave, but he couldn't see Zhang Ying walking briskly towards the guest house not far away, Chen Xing stopped abruptly and said, "By the way, Mr. Wang, that Xiao Ying is tired of coming to me every day to clean the room, so don't arrange too heavy work for her at the guest house." ”

Wang Cai was obviously stunned for a moment, his small eyes looked at Chen Xing through the small slit between the upper and lower eyelids, his eyes rolled a little, and he smiled busily, "Okay, okay, in the future, I will ask Zhang Ying to be in charge of the cleaning work over there." ”

Seeing Chen Xing's figure go away, Wang Cai's face sank, 'Phew', and spat on the ground, Wang Cai disdainfully compared his fingers at Chen Xing's back, and his mouth was vaguely muttering, "Isn't it just a deputy county magistrate, what a cow, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be like you, and he wants to take care of me." ”

Turning around and seeing Zhang Ying walking into the guest house, Wang Cai immediately scolded again, "This little girl is really a fox, she hooked up with Chen Xing so quickly." Scolding in his mouth, Wang Cai had already followed Zhang Ying into the back, his eyes flashing with greed, "Hmph, I thought it would be great to hook up with Chen Xing, isn't it, uncle, I have the means to treat you, and sooner or later you will obediently climb into my bed." ”

The bidding work of several land projects in the county is being carried out in an orderly manner, and there are not many bidding enterprises, including many strong foreign enterprises, but there is a lot of accidents, not only the Zhao Group, the Guoli Group has been threatened by the masked man, and there are three other enterprises have also been threatened, carefully observe these enterprises, but it is not difficult to find that these enterprises are ready to participate in the bidding for the eighth plot, and these enterprises are not the same as the strong enterprises.

Wang Dongchen immediately instructed the Public Security Bureau to solve the case within a time limit, giving a satisfactory explanation to the threatened enterprises, and personally visited the persons in charge of several enterprises in Ximen, calmed everyone's feelings, promised to do their best to solve the case, and created a good investment environment, and also instructed Lu Ming on the spot to send people to protect the safety of the staff of several enterprises in Ximen.

In the hotel of Chenggong Building, Wang Dongchen talked and laughed with each other in the room where Zhao Guoli was, and in several companies that came to visit, Wang Dongchen stayed in Zhao Guoli's room for the longest time, Zhao Guoli's other identity Wang Dongchen knew it, when facing Zhao Guoli, Wang Dongchen even faintly had a humble attitude, the county party secretary's shelf was gone, Zhao Guoli was the husband of Mayor Zhao Yiping, Wang Dongchen dealt with each other, with a little flattering thoughts in his heart, If it weren't for Chen Xing, Lu Ming and others accompanying him, Wang Dongchen's posture would even be a little lower, and in front of his subordinates, Wang Dongchen always had to take into account the majesty of the county party secretary.

On the other hand, Zhao Guoli sat on the sofa swaggeringly, although he was polite on the surface, but the arrogance in his bones was undoubtedly revealed, even his daughter Zhao Qing and son-in-law Sun Xiang were also sitting casually, and did not show their consciousness and consciousness to be polite to the secretary of the county party committee.

Wang Dongchen did not feel any discomfort about the reaction of this family, one husband is the mayor of Haicheng City, and the other father is the executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee.

"Lu Ming, for the safety of Chairman Zhao and his daughter and son-in-law, you have to take it seriously, and arrange a few more plainclothes to protect you in secret when necessary, if they have any accidents, I will ask you." Coming out of Zhao Guoli's room, Wang Dongchen instructed Lu Ming as he walked, Wang Dongchen was more concerned about the safety of Zhao Guoli and the others, people wanted to come to Ximen to invest, which was a good thing for Ximen, if something happened because of this, needless to say, Zhao Yiping would definitely be angry with him, he didn't want to suffer that unwarranted disaster.

"Secretary Wang, don't worry, I will arrange manpower later, and I will personally supervise the case, and strive to solve the case as much as possible." Lu Ming said solemnly.

"Lu Ming, you, the director of the public security bureau, are facing a severe test as soon as he takes office, and this is also the time to test your qualifications as a director, when the county nominated you as the head of the bureau, there was a lot of opposition, this time is not only the time to test you, but also an opportunity for you, if you can show results, I believe those who oppose will keep their mouths shut." Wang Dongchen glanced at Lu Ming, and his eyes swept Chen Xing next to him slightly.

For Lu Ming, Wang Dongchen was not impressed before, the post of director, Wang Dongchen did not plan to let Lu Ming go, especially Li Shaotong fanned the flames by his side, although Wang Dongchen was not deceived by Li Shaotong, but Li Shaotong's words more or less also had some impact on him, Wang Dongchen was vigilant against Chen Xing, the deputy county magistrate from the city, Lu Ming and Chen Xing got close, so that Wang Dongchen pronounced the death sentence of the other party as soon as possible, and the position of the director would definitely not be given to Lu Ming.

In the end, the reason why Wang Dongchen changed his mind was because of a phone call from Yuan Jiang, director of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Yuan Jiang expressed his appreciation for Lu Ming, although he didn't say anything more, but the implied meaning was already obvious, considering Yuan Jiang's face, plus the candidate recommended by the Municipal Bureau was Lu Ming, Wang Dongchen also simply pushed the boat down the river and supported Lu Ming to take the position, which led to the result that Lu Ming accidentally broke out of the encirclement and became the director.

How could Lu Ming have a relationship with Yuanjiang, this made Wang Dongchen puzzled, he had never heard of Lu Ming having this kind of relationship before, the only explanation was that Lu Ming was only recently hooked, but this possibility is not high, Yuanjiang, the door of the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization, is not just anyone can enter, then, if it is not this first explanation, then the second may be that Chen Xing played a key role in it, Chen Xing was a secretary by Zhou Mingfang's side, which no one can ignore, If Chen Xing played a role in it, it was not impossible, Lu Ming's matter made Wang Dongchen more and more wary of Chen Xing in his heart.

"Comrade Chen Xing, you are responsible for the specific work of shantytown reconstruction, you should communicate more with the people of these enterprises to understand what they need, and we should try our best to meet what our county can meet, which is related to the development plan of our Ximen, and we must strive for more investment to stay in our Ximen." Wang Dongchen turned his head to Chen Xing and said seriously.

"Secretary Wang, don't worry, in the future, I will deal with these enterprises, and I must let them feel the enthusiasm of our Ximen people." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.

Sending Wang Dongchen to the car together, Lu Mingcai stood beside Chen Xing and asked suspiciously, "Strange, what is the origin of Chairman Zhao just now, Secretary Wang's somewhat humble posture just now is rare, but it seems to be facing the leaders of the city." ”

"Hehe, that is the husband of Mayor Zhang in our city, you said that Secretary Wang can not care about him." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, "We county officials are probably nothing in the eyes of others. ”

"Mayor Zhang?" Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded clearly, "No wonder Secretary Wang is so tightly instructed to ensure the safety of the other party." ”

"This is just one reason, even if he is not Mayor Zhang's husband, we must ensure his safety, he came to our Ximen to inspect investment, and it is our minimum responsibility to protect the personal safety of these investors."

"Well, that's exactly what I said." Lu Ming nodded approvingly, "But the Chairman Zhao upstairs really wants to be treated differently, others are wives and husbands, he is good, husbands are expensive, there is such a mayor's wife, during his time in our Ximen, it seems that we have to serve him like the emperor, lest a bad servant will be sent to the frontier." ”

"It's not so strict, you just need to do your job well." Chen Xing smiled and patted Lu Ming's shoulder.

In the alley on the edge of the capital, in the depths of the alley are several antique courtyards, from the middle of the alley to the back, there are guards standing guard here, in the evening, a car with a Tongtian license plate starting with A A drove into the alley, followed by a guard's car, the car stopped in front of a courtyard, and a middle-aged and elderly man got out of the car, who seemed to be only in his fifties, his hair was dyed black and shiny, and his energetic face looked incompatible with his youth. On the contrary, he looks like a young man in his thirties and forties.

Someone in the courtyard greeted him, and the man who got out of the car laughed and greeted, "Vice Premier Wang, why did you have time to come to us today?" ”

"Guozhong, I still like to hear you call me Lao Wang, you keep calling Vice Premier Wang, let me not like it." The man smiled and straightened his face slightly, pretending to be unhappy.

"You are getting bigger and bigger, I don't dare to call you casually, otherwise it will be disrespectful." The person who spoke was Zhang Daoyi's second son Zhang Guozhong, as for the person who came, it was not difficult to hear Zhang Guozhong's title, that was Wang Zheng's father, Vice Premier Wang Yan, one of the youngest central leaders, known as the leader of the Shaozhuang faction.

Zhang Guozhong and Wang Yan looked at each other, with an inexplicable meaning in their eyes, with the passage of time and the change of identity and status, some things cannot go back to the past.

"Guozhong, I came today to visit the old man, I don't know if the old man is convenient?" At the invitation of Zhang Guozhong, Wang Yan walked inside, and also said his intention, in fact, before coming, Wang Yan had already greeted the Zhang family in advance, and after obtaining the consent of the old man Zhang, Wang Yan would come over, otherwise if the old man Zhang was not the same guest, how could Wang Yan come over recklessly, to their level and status, every move has not only represented themselves.

"The old man is resting in the backyard, and I'll take you there." Zhang Guozhong smiled and led the way in front.

Along the way, the two were relatively speechless, when they were young, the Zhang family and the Zhang family had close contacts, and the younger generation of the two families also had a good relationship, Zhang Guozhong should be said to have known Wang Yan when he was a child, and also experienced the difficult days of that turbulent period together, the friendship between the two lasted for decades, but as they grew up, the friendship when they were young will gradually deteriorate after all, and it is impossible to be as simple as before, each other has to plan for their respective families, plus their respective identities and statuses are different, It is not possible to have a heart-to-heart relationship like before.

Wang Yan took the road of official career, along the way can be said to be smooth sailing, behind the support of the family, and he has some ability, for decades, the official career is open, step by step, and finally to such a high position today, become the leader of the Zhang family, but also by today's academic leaders, Wang Yan himself is jokingly called the leader of the Shaozhuang faction officials, because he is only fifty-four years old this year, is already a member of the Political Bureau, the deputy prime minister of the official residence, no accident in the future, it will definitely be normal.

Zhang Daoyi sat on the sandalwood chair in the back hall, the fragrant tea next to the table was steaming, Wang Yanyi entered the door, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, I haven't seen you for a while, you are getting younger and younger." ”

"You little Yan, you still haven't changed at all." Zhang Daoyi glanced at Wang Yan with a smile, and his words were punned.

"In front of you Mr. Zhang, I have never changed, if there is a change, that is, I have been getting old, but Mr. Zhang, you are getting younger and younger, which makes me envious." Wang Yan smiled and sat down at Zhang Daoyi's signal, someone had already brought tea next to him, and Zhang Guozhong also sat down with him, and he was also a little curious about Wang Yan's sudden visit today.

"Elder Zhang, I took the liberty to visit today for a private matter, and I hope Elder Zhang will not laugh." After saying a few polite words to Zhang Daoyi, Wang Yan expressed his intention.

"Really? Then tell me about it, I, an old man, listen. Zhang Daoyi glanced at Wang Yan with a smile, Gu Jing Bubo's expression still did not change at all, and Zhang Guozhong, who was sitting at the bottom, moved his eyelids slightly, and his attention was concentrated.

"That's the case, my unsuccessful kid has liked your family Ningning for a long time, and has been grinding hard with me for the past few days, asking me to come and propose to Zhang Lao, I can't stand being pestered these days, and I will be upset as soon as I go home, so I have to be cheeky to come to Zhang Lao's walk, I don't know what Zhang Lao wants?" Wang Yan looked at Zhang Daoyi, and there was a wry smile on his face, he only had a son like Wang Zheng, although he was not very competitive, but he was always his son, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, even if his status was high, in front of his son, he was just a father after all, he couldn't bear his son's pleading, so he had to come over to test the tone of the Zhang family, no matter how he said it, it was also a lifelong event related to his son, and it was normal for him to run away as a father.

"Propose to our family Ningning?" Zhang Daoyi was stunned for a moment, originally thought that Wang Yan would be for something big, but as soon as the other party spoke, Zhang Daoyi was really unexpectedly tight, and did not hide his feelings, Zhang Daoyi looked at Wang Yan, smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Yan, you really asked me about this matter, I really can't take care of our family's Ning Ning's affairs, I spoiled her when I was young, so that she is not afraid of heaven and earth now, I, who is a grandfather, can't control her, this matter still depends on Ning Ning's own opinion, I, who is a grandfather, don't dare to promise her. ”

Zhang Guozhong, who was sitting on the side, also looked at Wang Yan with a strange expression, and said with a smile, "Vice Premier Wang, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, we can't worry so much, your Wang Zheng likes Ningning, you can let him pursue it by himself, as long as the two young people are in love, our elders are also very reasonable, no, the key is to see the young people's own attitude, the current young people, but not at that time, the words of the parents and the matchmaker, we were obedient at that time, and now we are all in vogue to fall in love freely." We're outdated. ”

"Guozhong, you have a point, that kid in my family just doesn't fight, and this kind of thing requires me, the father, to come forward." Wang Yan shook his head helplessly, Zhang Daoyi and Zhang Guozhong's father and son both said so, he didn't want to say anything, Zhang Ningning, the little princess of the Zhang family, he had also heard some about it, he was very favored by Zhang Daoyi since he was a child, and even Zhang Guohua and his wife didn't dare to care too much, Wang Yan heard it, Zhang Daoyi said the truth, but today's trip is not nothing, at least the elders of the Zhang family have shown their attitude, if the children are willing, they will not object, Wang Yan was worried that the Zhang family would take into account some other political factors, and had reservations about the marriage between the Qiu and Zhang families, and today Zhang Daoyi expressed his attitude, Wang Yan thought in his heart to go back and let his kid pursue it by himself, so that he wouldn't even chase a woman.

After sitting for a while, Wang Yan said goodbye and left, Zhang Guozhong still sent Wang Yan to the door, the two chatted a few words at the door, Wang Yan looked at this old friend, and sighed, "Guozhong, if you are in politics, I am afraid that it has reached a considerable height now, I really don't understand why you gave up politics." ”

"Everyone has their own choices, I still like this kind of idle cloud and wild crane life, officialdom life is not suitable for me, those rules and regulations will make me uncomfortable." Zhang Guozhong smiled faintly.

"Yes, there are a lot of rules and regulations, but why don't you think about it the other way around, can we try to reach a certain level and get rid of those rules and regulations?" Wang Yan stared at Zhang Guozhong and said seriously.

"Impossible, Lao Wang, do you think the central one can be arbitrary? His level couldn't be higher. Zhang Guozhong pointed to the top of his head and asked the other party with a smile.

Wang Yan was speechless for a while, glanced at Zhang Guozhong deeply, and secretly said a pity in his heart, Zhang Guozhong understands Taoguang's strategy of raising obscurity, but he doesn't like to be in politics, Wang Yan's mood at the moment is very complicated, I don't know whether to be happy or sorry, if Zhang Guozhong is in politics, this must have become a strong opponent for him.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand, turned around and walked to the car, before getting into the car, Wang Yan stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhang Guozhong, and said with a smile, "I still heard you call me Lao Wang more comfortable, I haven't heard you call me so much for a long time." ”

Zhang Guozhong smiled, nodded slightly, and bowed at the other party.

Back in the courtyard, Zhang Guozhong went straight to the backyard, Zhang Daoyi was still sitting on the sandalwood chair, from just now to now, it seemed that he hadn't moved, as if he was waiting for Zhang Guozhong on purpose, "Send it away?" Zhang Daoyi glanced up at Zhang Guozhong.

"Gone." Zhang Guozhong nodded with a smile and looked at his father, "Dad, if you really marry the Zhang family, will you object?" ”

"What about you, what do you think?" Zhang Daoyi asked rhetorically.

"What can I think, I listened to what you said just now, Dad, so naturally I followed your tone." Zhang Guozhong smiled and narrowed his eyes, "But that kid from the Zhang family hasn't pursued Zhang Ningning for a day or two, Zhang Ningning has no reaction, with my understanding of Zhang Ningning, that kid from the Zhang family is no fun." ”

Zhang Guozhong's words caused Zhang Dao to smile, but he didn't say anything more.
