In the evening, in the Chenggong Building of Ximen County, the Ximen County Party Committee and County Government held a grand banquet here, inviting business people from all over the world who came to Ximen.

The county government will first select the most commercially valuable plots, and obtain land income through bidding, auction and listing, and then invest the funds into the shantytown renovation project.

After the most commercially valuable plots are selected for auction, the developer selects the remaining plots that still have commercial value and carries out commercial development on the basis of resettlement of returning residents. This shantytown renovation model has proven to be a successful model for some cities that are at the forefront of shantytown renovation in the country, and most cities are now learning from this model, and Ximen County is no exception.

Chen Xing has seen several familiar faces in the cocktail party, all of them are county leaders, and Li Zheng, the executive deputy county magistrate, is also at the banquet, when Chen Xing saw each other, his eyes were slightly stagnant, he saw Zhao Qing and Sun Xiang next to Li Zheng, and there were two middle-aged men standing with the three, but Chen Xing recognized both, one of them was Zhao Qing's father Zhao Guoli, Chen Xing couldn't be more impressed by it, if Zhao Qing's mother Zhao Yiping sneered at him at the time, Every time Zhao Guoli saw him, he almost had the urge to kick him out of the door, and the scene from a few years ago is still vivid in his mind when he looks back on it.

Chen Xing can now face Zhao Qing calmly and forget the past relationship, this will see Zhao Guoli, Chen Xing's heart is slightly fluctuating, but there is not too much expression on his face.

Another middle-aged man with a beer belly was when Chen Xing just went to the party school, and went to the hotel with Wu Gang and Chen Bin in the same dormitory that night, and met Zhao Qing and Sun Xiang when he came out after dinner.

"Comrade Chen Xing is here, come, come, and introduce you to a few elites in the business circles of the provincial city." Li Zheng's sharp eyes were the first to see Chen Xing coming in, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Li Zheng took the initiative to greet Chen Xing over.

At the moment when Chen Xing came in, in the corner of the cocktail party, there was a slight startled 'huh', the sound obviously came from a woman's mouth, and she seemed very surprised to see Chen Xing appear.

"Chen Xing, this is Mr. Zhao Guoli, chairman of the provincial city Guoli Group, which is engaged in hotel and real estate development, and is also a very powerful company in the provincial capital." Li Zheng introduced Zhao Guoli and Sun Xiang to Chen Xing with a smile on his face.

Li Zheng didn't know about the Zhao family and Chen Xing's past, but he knew that Sun Xiang was hostile to Chen Xing, last time, the county's bus procurement was proposed by him, the purpose was to curry favor with Sun Xiang, Li Zheng knew that Sun Xiang had invested in opening a car dealership, the county government wanted to change the car in a unified manner, the number of cars purchased was not small, and it was also a lot of profit, Li Zheng wanted to use this to tie up Sun Xiang, this kind of money was also above board, but Chen Xing did not expect Chen Xing to oppose the bus procurement plan at the meeting, and in the end it was not enough, Li Zheng said something afterwards, wanting to make Sun Xiang even more hostile to Chen Xing.

At this time, Li Zheng called Chen Xing over, which was also ill-intentioned.

"Chen Xing, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting more and more promising." Zhao Guoli looked at Chen Xing, smiled and said, listening to his tone, others didn't think there was anything wrong, they would only treat it as a compliment, but in Chen Xing's ears, Chen Xing clearly felt that there was still a mockery in Zhao Guoli's tone.

"Mr. Zhao and Chen Xing know each other?" Li Zheng glanced at Zhao Guoli in surprise, Zhao Qing had fallen in love with Chen Xing in the past, the Zhao family was very opposed to this, and was very dissatisfied with Chen Xing, Li Zheng was not clear about these things at all, this will listen to what Zhao Guoli said to Chen Xing, it seems that the two have known each other for a long time, Li Zheng's surprise can be imagined.

"I guess I know each other." Zhao Guoli glanced at Chen Xing and smiled, "Chen Xing, no one thought that you would be the deputy county magistrate a few years ago, maybe in a few years, you will become the deputy mayor again." ”

"Mr. Zhao has won the award, I don't dare to hope to be the deputy mayor, I am very satisfied to be a good deputy county magistrate." Chen Xing looked at Zhao Guoli with a smile, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, Zhao Guoli is still qualified to look down on him, but he also has his own confidence in his heart, the Zhao family, one day he will be qualified to be equal to the other party.

Li Zheng's eyes looked back and forth on Chen Xing and Zhao Guoli, and he was a little surprised in his heart, Chen Xing would know Zhao Guoli? This was obviously different from what he had expected before, but in the next moment, Li Zheng's originally slightly frozen smile bloomed again, and after observing Chen Xing and Zhao Guoli for a while, Li Zheng had already seen that the relationship between Zhao Guoli and Chen Xing was a little tense.

"You talk, there's a friend over there, I'll be with you first." When Chen Xing turned his head and casually looked at the people at the cocktail party, he saw a person not far away, his face was stunned, and he was a little surprised in an instant, and he confessed to Li Zheng and the others, Chen Xing walked quickly to the woman who was nodding and smiling at him not far away.

"Why are you here?" Chen Xing looked at each other, his face was full of surprise and joy.

"What, I can't be here?" The woman stared at Chen Xing with a smile, "It's amazing, I haven't seen you for a while, you have already become the deputy county magistrate, if I invited you to go down to Yangcheng together, then Ximen County would have one less deputy county magistrate surnamed Chen, and Yangcheng might have one more migrant worker surnamed Chen." ”

"Hehe, you didn't invite me to go to Yangcheng that day, otherwise I might have really agreed to you." Chen Xing also observed the woman carefully, the woman's dress was not as simple and generous as it was at the beginning, but it was more noble and atmospheric, and the temperament had changed slightly, Chen Xing was surprised that the woman's change was so fast, a woman could have a change in temperament in a short period of time, which really surprised Chen Xing.

"I don't dare to open my mouth to invite you to work hard in Yangcheng, you hold the iron rice bowl of a civil servant, you have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, then you will already be a secretary to the secretary of the municipal party committee, the future is bright, if I invite you to go to Yangcheng together, wouldn't it be boring to be self-deprecating, if you really go to Yangcheng with me, in case you don't mix well, I won't have to be hated by you." The woman chuckled softly.

At this time, another woman beside the woman suddenly handed over a mobile phone and said loudly, "Mr. Zhong, your phone." ”

"I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first." The woman smiled apologetically at Chen Xing and walked to the side to answer the phone.

Chen Xing's expression was even more surprised, staring at the woman's back, "Mr. Zhong? Chen Xing muttered softly, in addition to being surprised, there were more doubts in his eyes, Zhong Ling, who had only left Haicheng for less than half a year, had already achieved such a high level of achievement in Yangcheng.

The woman is Zhong Ling who left Haicheng a few months ago, Chen Xing's father's colleague in the city's No. 1 Middle School, a few months ago, Zhong Ling, who left Haicheng, was confused and determined, a few months later, the confidence of the other party's gestures made Chen Xing wonder if it was a delusion, Zhong Ling, who walked back after answering the phone, had a faint sadness on his face, Chen Xing couldn't help but care, "What, what happened?" ”

"It's nothing, it's about Yangcheng." Zhong Ling smiled faintly, sorted out his expression, and said to Chen Xing with a smile, "When I left, I didn't expect you to become the deputy county magistrate so soon, I was surprised when I saw you just now, and I inquired about others, knowing that you are the deputy county magistrate of this Ximen, I was shocked." ”

"Each other, I was really shocked to hear someone call you 'Mr. Zhong'." Chen Xing smiled and nodded, "It seems that you were right in deciding to go to Yangcheng in the first place, at least the achievements you have made in front of you have proved that your choice is right." ”

"Who knows if it's right or wrong." Zhong Ling's face was confused and struggling for a moment, fleeting, "It's too early to say right or wrong, a person, if you want to comment on whether every step you take in this life is right or wrong, you can't see it now, and short-term success does not mean that Xiàn's choice is right, only when you look back at this life and savor your life, can you know whether the original choice is without regrets." ”

"Really?" Chen Xing glanced at Zhong Ling in surprise, the other party obviously had something to say, but Chen Xing didn't know what Zhong Ling had experienced in Yangcheng in the past few months, and it was inconvenient to say anything, so he said with a smile, "I saw a woman in Haicheng City the night before yesterday who was very similar to you, accompanied by an old woman, I don't know if it's you?" ”

"That's right, I accompanied my mother out to buy clothes that night." Zhong Ling smiled and nodded, "I just returned to Haicheng that day, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by you so coincidentally." ”

"That means we still have a fate." Chen Xing said with a smile, "By the way, now I want to call you Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong came to our small place in Ximen, should he also come to our Ximen to invest." ”

"Chen Xing, I am very uncomfortable when you call this bell, if you call it like this again, I will go back to Haicheng immediately."

"Don't, you're a big boss from Yangcheng, I don't dare to offend you." Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I'm not kidding you, since you came to this banquet tonight, it means that you are also interested in investing in Ximen, and I welcome you with both hands." ”
