CHAPTER XXII

Visited the old leader Zhou Mingfang, Chen Xing came to the Provincial Finance Department in the afternoon, unlike the smooth sailing in Haicheng, Chen Xing almost ate the closed door soup in the Provincial Finance Department, no, Chen Xing has been hanging in the reception room alone for almost half an hour after the report, and he has not even appeared.

Staying alone in the reception room, Chen Xing was quite patient at first, but as time went by, Chen Xing couldn't help but be impatient, when he came to the Finance Hall, it was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and now it is more than 3 o'clock, and he has been sitting alone in the reception room for an hour.

Looking at the staff who occasionally passed by outside, no one walked in to ask, Chen Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, these provincial-level yamen are really a bit of a big man's style, think about it, Chen Xing also has a little self-knowledge in his heart, if he doesn't report Zhou Mingfang's name, he is a deputy county magistrate to run money in a department like the Provincial Department of Finance, and he is indeed not qualified to be faced.

Looking at the time, it had been wasted for more than an hour, Chen Xing didn't plan to wait, got up and walked out, Chen Xing planned to find someone who could take charge of the matter and talk to him, otherwise it would not be a matter to sit like this.

Wandering alone in the corridor, Chen Xing looked at the office next to him from time to time, Chen Xing didn't notice that a middle-aged man walking towards him was also staring at him with some confusion, "Secretary Chen?" When the two staggered by, the middle-aged man called Chen Xing uncertainly.

Hearing others call him before, Chen Xing subconsciously stopped, looked up, Chen Xing's action undoubtedly made the middle-aged man opposite immediately sure that he was not wrong, carefully looked at Chen Xing a few more times, the smile on the middle-aged man's face became more and more obvious, and walked up quickly, the middle-aged man enthusiastically held Chen Xing's shoulder, "Secretary Chen, sure enough, it's you, why did you come to us, come, come, come to my office and sit." ”

Before Chen Xing could react to what was going on, he was enthusiastically taken to the office by the middle-aged man, but before Chen Xinglin entered the office, he still looked up and saw the sign of 'Deputy Director's Office' hanging outside this office.

Standing in the office, looking at the enthusiastic middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Xing was a little surprised, the office in front of him was undoubtedly the leader's office, and if the person standing opposite was the owner of this office, then he was the deputy director of the Department of Finance?

"Secretary Chen, sit, sit." The middle-aged man still enthusiastically pulled Chen Xing to sit down, Chen Xing had already been a little overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm, so he heard the middle-aged man laugh and said, "Secretary Chen doesn't recognize me, right?" Let me introduce myself, Zheng Xuan, this is my office. Zheng Xuan indirectly said his identity.

"It turned out to be Zheng Hall, and I have been looking up for a long time." Chen Xing was shocked, he didn't guess wrong, how did the other party say that he was also a deputy department-level cadre, Chen Xing didn't dare to hold it up, and stood up, but Zheng Xuan's movements were faster than him, Chen Xingren hadn't stood up yet, Zheng Xuan was already holding down Chen Xing with a smile, "Secretary Chen, sit, sit, what are you doing politely." ”

Zheng Xuan's hand is quite strong, Chen Xing can only continue to sit back, just looking at Zheng Xuan, who looks strange in front of him, Chen Xing really can't think of where he has seen each other, let alone know the other party, he has only stayed in the provincial capital for a few months before, and most of the time is spent in the provincial party school, Chen Xing's memory, he has never seen such a person as Zheng Xuan.

Puzzled in his heart, Chen Xing actually wanted to ask why, just out of politeness, but it was inconvenient to ask, he couldn't ask here, 'We two know each other?' Besides, Chen Xing's head has also turned around, and the matter of running money today will fall on the other party.

"Secretary Chen, don't think about it, you definitely don't recognize me." As if seeing through Chen Xing's doubts, Zheng Xuan smiled and took the initiative to speak, "I saw you by Minister Zhou's side before, and I knew that you were Minister Zhou's secretary, so I knew you." ”

"It turns out that Zheng Hall knows Minister Zhou." When Chen Xing heard this, he was immediately relieved, daring to love the other party was knowing Zhou Mingfang, no wonder he recognized himself, and his previous doubts could finally be explained.

"Secretary Chen laughed, I just want to know Minister Zhou and I don't have this opportunity, but I have seen Minister Zhou, I can't talk about acquaintance, Secretary Chen, don't get me wrong, if I say it later, people think that I put gold on my face and deliberately have a relationship with Minister Zhou." Zheng Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "I want to get to know Minister Zhou, but I don't have the opportunity, it's like Secretary Chen, who works beside Minister Zhou every day, and Minister Zhou mentions it, but not everyone has this opportunity." ”

Chen Xing was slightly stunned, and glanced at Zheng Xuan quietly, he heard Zheng Xuan's words, and suddenly felt in his heart, no wonder the other party was so enthusiastic, he wanted to befriend Zhou Mingfang, and his personal figure who had worked by Zhou Mingfang's side also became the object of his wooing.

"Yes, yes, look at my brain, why did I forget, I can't call Secretary Chen anymore, I should call you County Magistrate Chen." Zheng Xuan seemed to suddenly remember, patted his head, shook his head and smiled, glanced at Chen Xing, and said, "Are you coming to the Finance Department today?" ”

"Zheng Hall, that's the case, the shantytown renovation ...... in our county" Seeing Zheng Xuan asking, Chen Xing didn't hide it, and immediately said his intention.

"That's it." Zheng Xuan smiled and nodded, there was a little more smile in his eyes, the following cadres came to the Finance Department, basically there would be no second thing except running money, Zheng Xuan just remembered that Chen Xing had been transferred to the county below to work, and he already had a guess in his heart, Chen Xing's statement undoubtedly confirmed the guess in his heart.

"Zheng Hall, our county's financial situation is really not optimistic, as soon as the shantytown renovation project starts, the county can say that even the initial investment funds are not enough, so we can only hope that the above can do their best to allocate funds, and ask Zheng Hall to help one or two." Chen Xing said.

"Hey, some of the places below are indeed a little more difficult, and I can understand County Magistrate Chen's feelings. To say that our Jianghai Province is very rich where it is rich, and where it is very poor, and there is also polarization in economic development, the province has focused on several developed counties and cities along the coast in recent years, and there is indeed a lack of attention to some poor places. Zheng Xuan seemed to empathize, sighed, looked at Chen Xing, and praised, "The current young cadres are all high-eyed and high-spirited, and they really assess their abilities, but few of them have real skills, and there are not many young cadres like County Magistrate Chen who can care about the people. ”

"Zheng Hall, look at what you said, I am also doing my part, but I don't dare to praise you like this." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, "If Zheng Hall doesn't mind, just call me Chen Xing, or call me Xiao Huang, listen to your call from County Magistrate Chen, but it makes me restless." ”

has been honed in officialdom for a few years, Chen Xing does not lack face, nor does he lack this cleverness, Zheng Xuan has taken the initiative to show favor to himself, Chen Xing also seized the opportunity to climb up the pole and get closer to the other party.

"Okay, okay, then I'll ask you to call you Brother Chen Xing." The smile on Zheng Xuan's face was even bigger, "Brother Chen Xing, it's not easy for you to come to the provincial capital from below, I'll be the east tonight, let's go out for a meal together." ”

"I am honored to be invited by Zheng Hall." Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and then responded without hesitation.

sat and greeted Zheng Xuan for a while, the two sides made an appointment to meet in the evening, Chen Xing left from the Provincial Department of Finance, there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no good for no reason, Chen Xing's enthusiasm for Zheng Xuan is also a little clear, Zheng Xuan sold his favor first, nothing more than to be able to use his relationship with Zhou Mingfang in the future, which is inseparable from a sharp word, with Zheng Xuan's age, it should be regarded as an old fritter in the officialdom, and he will not do things that are not beneficial.

Zhang Ningning and his entourage, who took a plane to Jianghai this morning, except for Zhang Ningning, who lived at his father's place, and several other people settled down in the hotel, and they had already gone out to wander on the street in the afternoon.

"Ning Ning, where are you going in the afternoon?" A group of people wandered aimlessly on the street, except for a few women who saw the well-known clothing stores on the side of the road, and went in energetically from time to time, Wang Zheng and a few men were a little interested, shopping This kind of thing, girls may be born to like it, but few men have this hobby.

"Just go for a walk." Zhang Ningning said casually, he was not very enthusiastic about Wang Zheng's questioning, Zhang Ningning's purpose was to figure out Guò's external indifference to make Wang Zheng retreat by himself, but Wang Zheng's ability to resist blows is really not ordinarily strong.

This time I came to Jianghai, I don't know how Wang Zheng knew, but I was going to follow, Zhang Ningning was not easy to talk about, looked at the two cousins beside him, Zhang Ningning guessed in his heart that Wang Zheng knew that he was going to Jianghai, and he must have nothing to do with the two, but Zhang Yi was usually relatively silent, Zhang Ningning was quite incomprehensible to his cousin, and Zhang Yi was not as close to Wang Zheng as his brother Zhang Ming, Zhang Ningning pondered that most of the news leaked by Zhang Ming.

took out the phone, Zhang Ningning called Chen Xing, but Zhang Ningning, who wanted to chat with Chen Xing, accidentally learned that Chen Xing was also in the provincial capital, and at this moment, Chen Xing had just come out of the Provincial Department of Finance.

"You're in the provincial capital now?" Zhang Ningning's face was happy.

"Why, you don't want to sue me too, you're also in the provincial capital, right?" Chen Xing heard Zhang Ningning's off-string sound, and his voice was a little surprised.

"I'm on Parkway Road now, you come by car." The smile on Zhang Ningning's face bloomed like a flower.

Looking at the smile on Zhang Ningning's face, Wang Zheng's face on the side changed slightly, and even a little gloomy, but he was quickly covered up by him.

"Ning Ning, Brother Chen Xing is also in Jiangcheng?" Wang Zheng asked as usual, but his palms were clenched in the shape of a fist, Chen Xing that Zhang Ningning said just now, although Wang Zheng had only seen it once, he had written down the name, and the last time Zhang Ningning accompanied Chen Xing to play in the capital, Wang Zheng faintly felt threatened.

"When did you become so acquainted with him?" Listening to Wang Zheng calling Brother Chen Xing, Zhang Ningning glanced at the other party lightly, what kind of person is Wang, Zhang Ningning still knows a little bit in his heart, and the word generous will never be used on Wang Zheng.

"Hehe, didn't I accompany Brother Chen Xing with you to play in the capital last time, this time I am born and I am familiar with each other, everyone is a young person, and I will be familiar with it once I come and go." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"Yes." Zhang Ningning smiled and nodded slightly, undeniable.

Chen Xing received a call from Zhang Ningning, and without saying a word, he stopped a taxi from the side of the road, "Master, go to Baihui Road." Chen Xing's face was a little excited, he didn't expect Zhang Ningning to arrive in Jianghai so soon.

"Fuck, that's not that bastard." At the moment when Chen Xing got into the car, the speed of a car coming up from behind suddenly slowed down, and when he looked in through the window, it was Lin Mao, the son of Lin Gang, the director of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau, who almost drove into Chen Xing, and the two clashed again.

Watching Chen Xing get into the taxi, Lin Mao immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove to follow, last time he knew from Zhao Qing that Chen Xing was the secretary of Zhou Mingfang, the organization minister of the provincial party committee who was transferred to the provincial party committee, although Lin Mao did not dare to do anything to Chen Xing openly, but the festival with Chen Xing in his heart was not to say that he would put it down, when he met Zhao Qing in the hotel and invited Chen Xing to dinner, Zhao Qing asked him to apologize to Chen Xing, Lin Mao finally turned his head and left, and the contradiction between him and Chen Xing can be said to be getting deeper and deeper.

Following Chen Xing's car to Baihui Road, after Chen Xing got out of the car, Lin Mao also drove to a nearby roadside and stopped, watching Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning and his party converge, Lin Mao supported the car door with one hand, looking at Chen Xing and his party, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a patrol officer passing by, Lin Mao looked over, and his eyes lit up, "Dong Mazi, come here." Lin Mao shouted out the car window.

Let's say that Dong Ping, the squadron leader of the patrol squadron sitting on the police patrol motorcycle, heard that someone dared to call him his previous nickname, and was about to get angry, when he turned around and saw Lin Mao who was waving to him, his face changed one hundred and eighty degrees, "Yo, Lin Shao, you call me." ”

"Dong Mazi, you should know a lot about the gangsters in this area." Lin Mao glanced at Dong Ping, he had long been accustomed to the other party's flattery.

"Of course, Lin Shao, it's not that I'm boasting, I basically know all the thorns in this area, if someone loses something, I guarantee that I can find it for him within ten minutes, what's the matter, Lin Shao, do you have a friend who has been stolen?" Dong Ping looked at Lin Mao flatteringly, the reason why he said this is because this area is one of the most prosperous areas in Jiangcheng, there are many people shopping, there are many people who are stolen, and some even form a small thief gang, Dong Ping has been responsible for patrolling this area for a long time, in fact, he knows all these people.

"Do you see a few young people over there?" Lin Mao ignored Dong Ping's words, and pointed to Chen Xing and his party in front, because Zhang Ningning, Wang Zheng and others were dressed very conspicuously, Dong Ping saw it at a glance, and looked at Lin Mao suspiciously, "See, what's wrong?" ”

"You go find a few thugs, teach me a lesson to the guy in the brown jacket, by the way, pretend to be a normal conflict, don't show it, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, it turned out that it was the blind one who offended Lin Shao, don't worry, I will definitely let people teach him a hard lesson." When Dong Ping heard this, he agreed without thinking about it, and patted his chest and said.

"Remember, try to pretend to be normal." Lin Mao commanded uneasily.

"Lin Shao, don't worry, those little gangsters don't have other skills, but their ability to find trouble is very high, let them deliberately find fault, it's absolutely no problem." Dong Ping's eyes rolled and he sneered.

"Okay, go ahead, do this well, I won't treat you badly." Lin Mao didn't forget to throw a sweet date to the other party in the end.

Dong Ping responded with a smile, his heart was already happy, thinking that this was a great opportunity to tie up with Lin Mao, but he didn't think about anything else at all, this foot was mixed in, but it was very likely that he would step on a mine.

"By the way, it's going to be a conflict later, what if it affects the guy in the brown jacket? They're in the same group as the guy in the jacket, and if they help them, they can't let the people who pass by get beaten, right? Dong Ping suddenly turned back and said.

"Those people don't care about them, if they do it, let the people who go be polite, although they fight back, but the point is to teach the brown jacket a lesson, remember." Lin Mao waved his hand casually, and he knew Chen Xing among Chen Xing and his party, and he didn't pay attention to the others at all.

Anyway, Dong Ping ran back in a hurry, and asked one of his subordinates who was patrolling with him to keep an eye on Chen Xing and his party behind, while Dong Ping took out his mobile phone and walked to a small alley next to him to greet the gangsters in this area.

"Brother Chen Xing, are you working in Jiangcheng?" Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning chatted while walking, although Wang Zheng, who was beside Chen Xing, was full of hostility towards Chen Xing in his heart, his face did not show Xiàn, and Wang Zheng, who had already regarded Chen Xing as a competitor, began to test Chen Xing's origin.

"No, I'm in Haicheng, and I'm here to do something in Jiangcheng today." Chen Xing replied to Wang Zheng's words with a smile, he thought that there was only Zhang Ningning alone, but when he came over, he found that there were several people, Chen Xing was also a little stunned, and said to Wang Zheng, Chen Xing's attitude towards the other party was quite surprised, last time in the capital, Chen Xing clearly felt that the other party's attitude towards him was very disdainful, and when he came today, he seemed to be friends with him for many years.
