Chen Xing explained the work at hand the next day, left Ximen, and when he arrived in Haicheng, it was almost noon, and Chen Xing returned to his home as soon as possible.

Approaching the end of the year, every household has a more festive atmosphere, and Chen Xing felt a long-lost feeling of home when he entered the door.

"Chen Xing, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm afraid you can't spend it at home, right?" At home, Zou Fang learned that Chen Xing was coming back today, so he went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy the dishes that Chen Xing likes more on weekdays.

"This year's Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I can't spend it at home." Chen Xing said with a smile, no matter what he said now, he is no longer the small section member he used to be, although he is only a deputy department-level cadre, but in the county, he can be regarded as the backbone of the leadership, and the more he gets to the end of the year, he will always be busier than before.

"By the way, what about my dad?" Chen Xing didn't see his father's figure, so he couldn't help asking.

"Your dad is still in school, and he will be back later."

"School is about to end soon, right?" Chen Xing said with a smile.

"It's coming." Zou Fang nodded and smiled, because Chen Xing came back, Zou Fang had been smiling from ear to ear today.

Chen Xing walked to the door of the kitchen, looked inside, and saw that the dishes had just been washed and had not yet been cooked, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, let's go out to eat today, don't be busy." ”

"Going out to eat? What about the vegetables you bought? Zou Fang frowned.

"Put the refrigerator first, and it won't break." Chen Xing smiled and pushed Zou Fang into the room, "Okay, Mom, don't hesitate, our family hasn't gone out to eat together for a long time, and today is a rare opportunity to have this opportunity, so I should have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in advance." ”

"You child, there is still more than half a month for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, how can it be so early." Zou Fang looked at Chen Xing, smiled helplessly, did not object, walked into the house, and changed his clothes.

The mother and son came out together, Chen Xing walked to the garage that he hadn't come to for a long time, looked at his little Alto parked there that had been covered with a layer of dust, and smiled bitterly, he hadn't driven this car for a long time, and he couldn't drive it if he wanted to.

"Why, you still want to drive your car over, I don't know how dirty it is, I think we still take a taxi over." Zou Fang also walked over, this Alto, the two old men didn't drive it on weekdays, they didn't learn to drive, and they didn't know how to drive at all.

"Actually, you can ask my dad to get a driver's license, and he can let him drive this car, otherwise he will let it go." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Your dad said that it would be better to take the bus to drive this car to school, and the monthly gas fee is more expensive than the bus money." Zou Fang disagreed, "You wanted to buy it yourself, but you didn't want to open it when you bought it, you see, tens of thousands of yuan were wasted like this." ”

Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, took a taxi at the gate of the community with his mother Zou Fang, called his father Chen Ping on the way, and went straight to his destination.

Huang Ming originally pulled Chen Xing to open this hotel, take the route of special dishes, although the scale of the hotel is not very large, but the positioning is extremely high, after these months of operation, the business is also booming, especially Fei Ren and Yang Ming and Zhang Ping, these people are interested in having a good relationship with Chen Xing, knowing that Huang Ming has a very good relationship with Chen Xing, several people often pull guests to take care of Huang Ming's business, Fei Ren is not only his father is the deputy secretary of the district party committee, he himself works in the local taxation bureau, Zhang Ping is the son of the director of the local taxation bureau, Because of their relationship, most of the unit dinners and even reception banquets of the local taxation bureau were placed in Huang Ming's hotel, plus Yang Ming brought people from the public security system, the hotel opened by Huang Ming and Chen Xing together has become a place where many public units often have dinners, which is also the reason why the business began to flourish not long after the initial opening of the hotel.

Fei Ren and a few people didn't know that this hotel also had Chen Xing's shares, they just wanted to use Huang Ming to mend the relationship with Chen Xing, although the two sides are now talking and laughing, but in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that each other is in vain, Fei Ren and the others know that in the past, because of the relationship between Xing Tiande, Chen Xing was vigilant and vigilant against them, and now they are working so hard to take care of Huang Ming's business, and they also take a fancy to the relationship between Huang Ming and Chen Xing.

"Mom, you haven't been to this hotel yet." After getting out of the taxi, Chen Xing said to his mother with a smile.

"I haven't been here, why did you suddenly pull me here." Zou Fang looked up at the hotel with four eye-catching characters written on it, and wondered.

"This is Huang Mingkai's hotel, how about it, it's not bad." Chen Xing smiled and blinked, this would not tell his mother the truth.

"This is Huang Mingkai?" Zou Fang looked surprised, "This Huang Ming is getting more and more able to toss, I think he is really born with a business mind." ”

Chen Xing didn't notify Huang Ming in advance before he came, and at this moment he couldn't be sure if Huang Ming was in the store, and walked into the hotel with Zou Fang, but when he went up to the second floor, he happened to meet Huang Ming who was about to come down.

"Chen Xing." Huang Ming was surprised when he saw Chen Xing, and then he also saw Zou Fang on the side, and said busily, "Aunt Zou, you are here too." ”

"Huang Ming, your business is getting bigger and bigger." Zou Fang looked at Huang Ming with a smile, and admired this young man who had a good relationship with his son.

"Aunt Zou, you have won the award, I am just making a small fuss, but I am not as good as Chen Xing." Huang Ming shook his head with a smile, turned his head to look at Chen Xing, and his tone was a little blameful, "Chen Xing, you are really, if you want to come over for dinner with Aunt Zou, just tell me in advance, and I will go over to pick you up directly." ”

"We're just here to eat, but we don't dare to ask you, the big boss, to pick up people personally." Chen Xing quipped.

"Zou Fang?" At this time, a voice that was not very certain sounded behind several people.

Zou Fang turned his head to look, and the other party's voice was suddenly confirmed, "Zou Fang, it's really you, seeing that you haven't changed much in the past two years, you're quite good at maintenance." ”

"It's all an old woman, what else do you maintain." Zou Fang smiled faintly, "Feng Zhen, it's such a coincidence, you also came here to eat?" ”

"Yes, I made an appointment, so I came here." The woman named Feng Zhen, who was the same age as Zou Fang, nodded with a smile, glanced at Zou Fang, and said with a smile, "I saw you get out of the taxi just now, and I was right behind, and when I saw the back a bit like you, I was still guessing if it was you, but I didn't expect it to be true." Zou Fang, how can you say that you have also eaten public meals for twenty or thirty years, why do you still take a taxi when you go out, and you have to buy yourself a car. ”

Although the woman named Feng Zhen said this, the expression revealed from it made people feel a little arrogant, Chen Xing listened to it on the side, and frowned slightly unconsciously.

"Feng Zhen, I remember that you don't go to non-star hotels, why did you come here today?"

"It's not that there is no way, the guests invited today often come to this small hotel to eat, and we have to follow the other party's wishes, otherwise how could I come here." Feng Zhen raised her head arrogantly, looked at Chen Xing on the side, and said, "Zou Fang, this is your son, right?" I remember working in the agency, and it seems that I am still not very happy? ”

"Yes, eat in the agency." Zou Fang nodded indifferently, looking at her expression, and didn't seem to want to talk more with the woman she knew in front of her.

"It's good to be a civil servant, but it's just that little bit of interest, that bit of dead salary every month, and then a good bonus and welfare, although it's better than ordinary people, but it's actually not very good." Feng Zhen said proudly, "If you want to make a lot of money, you still have to come out to do business in order to live a life of a superior person." ”

"Okay, Ah Zhen, it's time to come up, the section chief of the family Fei may be coming later, what do you miscellaneous people say." At this time, a middle-aged man who walked to the front glanced at Zou Fang casually, and said with a displeased expression.

"Okay, I'll come up now." Feng Zhen smiled and nodded, "Zou Fang, I'll go up first, there will be distinguished guests later, we haven't seen each other for almost two years, let's find a chance to get together in the future." ”

The backs of Feng Zhen and the middle-aged man disappeared at the top of the stairs, and Huang Ming pursed his lips disdainfully, "Aunt Zou, who is this person, listening to this tone, as if she is superior, it makes people uncomfortable to listen to." ”

"Hehe, an old classmate from the past, I don't interact much, everyone is in the same city, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, I didn't expect to meet so coincidentally tonight." Zou Fang smiled, "My husband opened his own factory, and he is rich, of course he looks down on people like us who get dead wages." ”

"Isn't there just a few spare money, these days, there are more rich people, and this kind of dog looks down on people, and he has that vision." Huang Ming will be completely unhappy for Chen Xing and Zou Fang, "Chen Xing, people just looked down on you as a small civil servant, why didn't you, the big county magistrate, stand up." ”

"Wouldn't it seem too vulgar to deal with this kind of person." Chen Xing shrugged with a smile.

"I heard Fei Ren say today, he seems to be coming over for dinner tonight, the section chief Fei in that man's mouth may mean Fei Ren, you see, what can you do if you have money, you don't have to look at the face of the official, blind or something." Huang Ming said disdainfully.

"There are more people with the surname Fei, and the section chief Fei in people's mouths is not necessarily Fei Ren." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.

"There are indeed more people with the surname Fei, but the section chief surnamed Fei often comes to eat with us, but there is only one Fei Ren, and now people from the Local Taxation Bureau and the Public Security Bureau often come to us to eat, it must be Fei Ren." Huang Ming said with confidence.

"Don't talk about it, Mom, let's go up and sit down."

"You're here today, then the best box in our hotel will not be open to the public, just for your use." Huang Ming smiled and led the way.

"Huang Ming, should you do business or do business, we just came over to eat, don't make it so grand." Zou Fang didn't know that this hotel also had shares of his own son, and seeing that Huang Ming was so solemn, he hurriedly stopped.

"Aunt Zou, it's okay, this box is actually not used much."

Introducing Chen Xing and Zou Fang into the box, Huang Ming smiled and said, "Chen Xing, you and Auntie will sit down first, and I will come over to accompany you later." ”
