CHAPTER XLVII
Zhou Mingfang's house, Chen Xing has been here more than once, this time, Chen Xing came over at noon, Chen Xing, who was carrying a big bag and a small bag, was almost rejected by Zhou Mingfang's maid who thought it was a door-to-door gift, if it weren't for Zhou Mingfang's wife Chen Nan who recognized Chen Xing, Chen Xing was afraid that he would have to stand in the open air to blow the wind until Zhou Mingfang came back.
"Xiao Chen, it's good that you're here, every time you bring these gifts, if Ming Fang knows, I'm afraid I'll be unhappy." Chen Nan beckoned Chen Xing in, and when he saw the things Chen Xing was carrying, he shook his head and smiled.
"Auntie, they are all local specialties, not valuable things, even if Secretary Zhou knows, he can't say that I am a bribe." Chen Xing smiled and handed the things at hand to the servant next to him.
Chen Nan glanced at the things that Chen Xing brought over seriously, and made sure that they were all local specialties, so he motioned to the servant to accept them, and joked, "You also know the rules of the Ming side, and those who bring gifts to the door are all gone, fortunately, what you bring is not valuable, otherwise I can't open up to you." ”
Chen Xing smiled and nodded yes, he followed Zhou Mingfang for a while, and he also understood Zhou Mingfang's behavior, not accepting gifts was a dead rule set by Zhou Mingfang, I don't know how many people didn't know Zhou Mingfang's rules at first, and they all ate closed doors when they visited Zhou Mingfang's home, or they finally went back with gifts.
Chen Nan sat and chatted with Chen Xing for a while, and within a few minutes, the sound of parking sounded outside the door, Chen Nan immediately stood up and smiled, "It's Ming Fang who is back." ”
Chen Xing hurriedly got up and walked out, Zhou Mingfang was getting out of the car, Chen Xinglian took a few big strides and went over to help Zhou Mingfang hold the car door, "Secretary Zhou, you're back." ”
Zhou Mingfang nodded, glanced at Chen Xing up and down, staring at Chen Xing with a scrutinizing gaze, not knowing what Zhou Mingfang was looking at, Chen Xing, who was holding the car door, subconsciously straightened his body, only to see Zhou Mingfang with a somewhat satisfied smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Yes, there is more and more of a leader." ”
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a sentence to come out of Zhou Mingfang's mouth, his face was slightly embarrassed, he turned his head to look at Zhou Mingfang, the other party had already walked into the house, and Chen Xing was also busy following.
"Now that I am the acting county magistrate and preside over the work of the county government, the burden on my shoulders is much heavier, presiding over the government work of a county at your age, looking at our entire Jianghai Province, there are few people who can be as high as you at your age, so you must cherish this hard-won opportunity, do a good job, you have made achievements, and the leaders above will naturally see it."
Zhou Mingfang said meaningfully to Chen Xing, at that time Zhang Guohua proposed to put Chen Xing in the grassroots county below to exercise, he did not expect Chen Xing to take over the work of the county government so quickly, Li Zheng's accident gave Chen Xing a chance, and also shortened the time for Chen Xing to really enter the county government, according to Zhou Mingfang's previous thoughts, at least let Chen Xing exercise in the position of deputy county magistrate for a year, and then consider letting Chen Xing take the position, but he didn't expect this process to be unexpectedly shortened, and Zhou Mingfang didn't know if he should sigh Chen Xing's good luck.
"Secretary Zhou, I will work hard, Ximen County's annual GDP is now ranked second to last among the districts, counties and cities in Haicheng City, I hope that through a few years of hard work, Ximen County can get rid of the role of the bottom." Chen Xing said seriously, this is a wish he really wants to fulfill in his heart, and it is also a promise he has to Zhou Mingfang at this moment.
"It's good to have faith, but it's not good to be too full of words." Zhou Mingfang shook his head with a smile, "But I'll treat you as a military order, I will pay attention to the development of Ximen County in the next few years, I want to see what scene you can toss." ”
The wall clock on the wall was walking slowly, the sound of ticking was quiet and quiet, it would be twelve o'clock at noon, the maid came out of the kitchen, and said to Zhou Mingfang that lunch was ready, Zhou Mingfang stood up, greeted Chen Xing, and said with a smile, "Have you eaten, come over together, there are no big fish and meat, but there is coarse tea and light rice." ”
Chen Xing also stood up and shook his head with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, I have already eaten, you eat first, and I will come back next time." ”
"Have you eaten?" Zhou Mingfang sighed, looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock, didn't say anything more, nodded, glanced at Chen Xing, Zhou Mingfang hesitated, and said, "Chen Xing, you are working below, others will look at you differently because you used to be my secretary, you do a good job, others will say that this is the level you should achieve, sit in that position at a young age, if you don't have some ability, how can you serve the public?" But if you don't do well, others will inevitably look at you with colored eyes, some people even want to say cool words, will say that you are stained with my light, back to the tree to enjoy the shade, you don't have the ability to fart, just follow a good leader, take advantage of it, so you should realize that you have more advantages than others, but also more than others to bear something, I won't say anything superfluous, or the old saying, down-to-earth, conscientious work, you will have a good future in the future, I am at your age, But there is no opportunity like yours, so cherish it. ”
Chen Xing's expression was slightly dark, Zhou Mingfang's words could be regarded as his earnest teachings, and he was a little moved in his heart, with Zhou Mingfang's status and status, he could say this to him, that was the real care and love for him, nodded solemnly, Chen Xing said gratefully, "Secretary Zhou, I will definitely do it." ”
"Hehe, go ahead, for you, this wonderful life has just begun." Zhou Mingfang smiled and patted Chen Xing's shoulder.
A few days ago, Huang Kunming called him and greeted him with a few polite words, only intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Chen Xing's praise, Zhou Mingfang couldn't figure out Huang Kunming's intentions at first, until Huang Kunming finally mentioned that Li Zheng, the executive deputy county magistrate of Ximen County, who was in charge of the work of the county government, was investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection because of violations of law and discipline. The city decided to let Chen Xing preside over the work of the Ximen County Government, Zhou Mingfang understood Huang Kunming's purpose, Huang Kunming was showing favor to him in disguise, thinking of the situation in Haicheng, Zhou Mingfang showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, Zhao Yiping was afraid that it was enough to give Huang Kunming a headache, but Chen Xing benefited from this matter, because he just sighed Chen Xing's luck, because of his relationship, Huang Kunming looked at Chen Xing differently, but Chen Xing's luck was really good.
Zhou Mingfang only said that it was the open and secret struggle between Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping that led Huang Kunming to promote Chen Xing in order to show favor to him, but he didn't know that Chen Xing himself also used means in it, otherwise how could Li Zheng stumble on the old horse, in fact, Chen Xing can be proud, and part of it is due to himself, without him secretly stumbling on Li Zheng at the beginning, there would be no later things, Zhou Mingfang really only knew one and didn't know the other this time.
