"Okay, Chen Xing, you are really hiding deep enough." Wu Gang smiled and punched lightly, there was still a deep surprise in his eyes, he never thought that Chen Xing would be Zhou Mingfang's secretary.

"Lao Wu, you can't blame me for this, you didn't ask, of course I didn't say it." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.

Wu Gang on the side nodded, this made him think of Chen Bin, and said with a smile, "You said that if Chen Bin knew that you were actually a secretary to Minister Zhou Mingfang, I don't know if he would regret it to death." ”

"The Tao is not the same, and it is not conspiratory, and it is not said about him."

"Okay, then let's not talk about him." Wu Gang smiled and nodded.

The next day, Chen Xing arrived at the classroom early, Zeng Jing usually arrived at the classroom a few minutes earlier, sure enough, when Chen Xing arrived, Zeng Jing was already in the classroom, while there was no class, Chen Xing grabbed Zeng Jing and asked, "Zeng Jing, do you know anyone from the provincial party newspaper?" ”

"Provincial party newspaper?" Zeng Jing frowned, "I don't know anyone from the provincial party newspaper, but I know a friend from Jiangcheng Daily, so I'll help you ask, it's easier to get in touch with peers, she may know." ”

"That's fine, thank you, Zeng Jing."

"Chen Xing, you are still so polite." Zeng Jing glanced at Chen Xing helplessly and said with a smile.

Chen Xing smiled and didn't say anything, Zeng Jing didn't ask him anything and agreed to help, the other party was sincere in treating people from the heart, and Chen Bin's enthusiasm that stayed on his mouth was completely different, Chen Xing felt a lot of emotion in his heart, why is there such a big gap between people.

Chen Xing didn't expect Zeng Jing's efficiency to be so high, and at noon when he was about to leave the classroom for lunch, Zeng Jing had already stopped him, "Chen Xing, my friend knows an editor of the provincial party newspaper, she helped make an appointment at noon, how about it, do you want to meet now?" ”

"Okay, okay, then go over now, let's ask someone to do something, but we can't put on a shelf." Chen Xing said with a smile.

Chen Xing and Zeng Jing took a car together to a western restaurant in the city, and when they entered it, Zeng Jing looked for people while walking, and soon showed a smile and pointed to a place by the window, "Let's go, over there, let's go over." ”

Chen Xing and Zeng Jing had just approached the middle of the window in the restaurant, and a woman over there had already stood up with a smile and opened her hands to hug Zeng Jing, "Dear Captain Zeng, you haven't broken any scoop news for me for a long time, when will you give me some fierce news?" ”

"Jiang Feng, I can sue you, don't hit me with your mind again, last time you insisted that I want to reveal to you the progress of the '4.17' serious dà murder case, and the next day you wrote it in the column, causing me to be criticized by our leaders, how do you compensate me." Zeng Jing smiled and blocked the other party's hands that wanted to be hugged, "Don't give me this set, the public, you don't want an image, I care." ”

"Sister Jing, it's not right for you to say this, people just haven't seen you for a long time, and they just show affection to you, look at how much you hurt your self-esteem by not giving face."

"Don't, you just need to pester me less, let me be more pure and pure, and suffer less criticism from the leader."

"Hehe, Sister Jing, I can't see that you look like you've been criticized by the leader, how can you be criticized by the leader and still go to the party school to prepare for promotion, I see, your Director Zheng Da, who is in charge of criminal investigation, is reluctant to criticize you, a confidant and favorite general."

"Okay, don't be playful, come, let me introduce you, this is my classmate in the party school, Chen Xing." Zeng Jing pointed to Chen Xing and introduced.

Jiang Feng on the side also became serious, nodded at Chen Xing with a smile, and when introducing himself, he just said simply, "Jiang Feng." ”

After introducing each other a little bit, Chen Xing learned that Zeng Jing's best friend was actually a famous column of Jiangcheng Daily. Focus on Jianghai's author Leng Fuzi, of course, Leng Fuzi is his pen name, and his real name is Jiang Feng, when Chen Xing heard Zeng Jing's introduction, he really couldn't believe it, he always thought that the columnist Leng Fuzi, who was quite famous in Jianghai Province, was an old pedant, or he had to be a middle-aged student with a strict face and a scholarly demeanor, but he didn't expect that it would be a woman who was twenty-eight years old, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that Jiang Feng would be the columnist Leng Fuzi, who was known for his spicy writing, and the kind of playful and intimate behavior that came out of the other party's conversation with Zeng Jing just now was like an old child。

Especially a girl on the other side, who took a name like Jiang Feng, no matter how it sounds, it sounds like a boy's name, plus the pen name of Master Leng, Chen Xing couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, obviously a girl who is very beautiful and dressed very fashionably, and the pen name of Master Leng doesn't know how the other party came up with it.

"Chen Xing, isn't it strange that such a young and fashionable woman would take such a pen name." Zeng Jing seemed to see what Chen Xing was thinking, and said with a smile.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes now, and others told me that Master Leng was a young and beautiful woman, I would definitely not believe it." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.

Several people sat down with a smile, and the man next to Jiang Feng was introduced, Chen Xing knew that he was the main person he was looking for today, a deputy editor-in-chief of the provincial party newspaper, named Wang Chen, was a friend who knew Jiang Feng, and after some conversation, Chen Xing didn't beat around the bush anymore, took out the manuscript he had prepared, and handed it to Wang Chen, "Editor Wang, you can show me if this article can be sent." ”

Chen Xing's attention was on Wang Chen, and on the side, Zeng Jing and Jiang Feng were smiling and whispering, only listening to Jiang Feng say, "Sister Jing, you sent me to do coolies for this colleague today?" Could it be that you are interesting to others and want the old cow to eat tender grass? ”

"You damn girl, I think you're itchy again." Zeng Jing smiled and stretched out her hand, ready to fight.

"I'm telling the truth, be careful I tell my brother-in-law, he's jealous."

Chen Xing almost squirted out the tea in his mouth when he heard it, glanced at Jiang Feng, and was surprised for a while, this woman's style is really different, Chen Xing thought in his heart, and glanced at Zeng Jing a little suddenly, Zeng Jing is not like this, when others are eager to keep a distance from herself, she dares to help herself at this time, maybe she and Jiang Feng, this can be regarded as a gathering of likes, they are both more alternative people.

"Mr. Huang, I think your special article is okay, and there is no problem in publishing it in the party newspaper, but if you want to publish it in a key position on the main page, you have to fight for it, and you need the nod of the leader of the newspaper." Wang Chen glanced at the article written by Chen Xing, and looked up at Chen Xing.

"Oh, I don't know what good things Wang Bian has, how can I talk about the leader of the newspaper?" Chen Xing glanced at the other party quietly, there is no free lunch in the world, Chen Xing is also ready to pay a certain amount of remuneration, not to mention that the provincial party newspaper is not just a casual person can publish articles on it, and those key pages are mainly published with the speeches of the main leaders of the provincial party committee.

"Hehe, let's talk about it then, I'll help you fight for it first, and test the leader's tone." Wang Chen smiled and nodded, "You have to compress this article again, and try to write out the key points, otherwise it will be too long." ”

"Lao Wang, Sister Jing is my good sister, since he is Sister Jing's friend and my friend, you can help more if you can." Jiang Feng spoke on the side.

"Jiang Feng, if you can help me, you can naturally help, you see that I am the kind of person who eats and takes cards." Wang Chen glanced at Jiang Feng with a wry smile, and his smile was actually a little flattering.

Chen Xing looked at the two of them with some doubts, and then suddenly realized, looking at the expressions of Wang Chen and Jiang Feng at this time, Wang Chen was afraid that Jiang Feng was the suitor, Chen Xing saw a little sign, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Wang Bian, if there is anything that needs to be spent on doing this, you just ask, it is now the era of market economy, this is a matter of course." ”

Wang Chen was a little deliberately flattering in the face of Jiang Feng, and when he faced Chen Xing, his expression was a little indifferent, "I will open my mouth when I should speak, but your article is about industrial transformation, which is in line with the current economic hot spots, and it may not be possible to go smoothly, of course, if you think it doesn't matter which page you put it on, I can now give you a guarantee that I can still call the shots in some positions on the last few pages." When Wang Chen said this last sentence, he glanced at Jiang Feng next to him, as if he wanted to prove that he was not pretending to be a public servant.

"Then there is still King Lao to help me fight for it, otherwise if it is placed too far back, no one will pay attention to it." Chen Xing said with a smile.

The two-month study in the party school passed quickly, and after Chen Xing's article was on the front page of the second page of the provincial party newspaper, and after the twists and turns were included in the party newspaper, the appointment order about Chen Xing also came down, and at this time, it also coincided with the end of the study in the party school.

On this night, all the students in Chen Xing's class made an appointment to have dinner at the hotel, after this meal, everyone will return to their original jobs to wait for news, those who can be promoted, some have already gotten the news, and if they can't be promoted, they are likely to have to stand still.

Chen Xing originally didn't want to go, since he was caught by Liu Jian, except for Wu Gang and Zeng Jing, the rest of the class had little communication with him, and the relationship was very ordinary, there was actually no difference between going and not going, Chen Xing wanted to pull Wu Gang and Zeng Jing to find a place to eat and get together, but in the end, he was persuaded by Wu Gang and Zeng Jing several times and agreed to go together.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing and Zeng Jing stood at the gate of the party school and waited, and after a few minutes, Wu Gang didn't know where to get a Santana and drove over, and rolled down the window to greet Chen Xing and Zeng Jing from a distance.

Chen Xing greeted Zeng Jing and walked into the car with a smile, Wu Gang is the director of the county government office of Kaiyuan County, Jiangcheng City, and the other party quietly got a car over, Chen Xing was not surprised.

"Chen Xing, when are you going to report?" While driving, Wu Gang asked.

"Tomorrow, I'll be ready to go to Haicheng tomorrow." Chen Xing pondered for a moment and said.

"Tomorrow? So fast. Wu Gang was a little surprised.

"It's not fast, since the appointment order has come down, it's better to hurry up and go to the post, so as not to leave a bad impression on the leader."

"Yes." Wu Gang nodded and said with a smile, "You went to be an official this time, so naturally you are positive, if it were me, I would go directly to Ximen County today." ”

"Don't patronize me, aren't you the same, what's the matter, are you sure to believe it?" Chen Xing said with concern.

"Quasi-believers." Chen Xing's words touched the troubles in Wu Gang's heart, and it was rare for him to burst into a foul mouth in front of Zeng Jing, "I don't have a word, I have to continue to work in my office director position after I go back, it's hard to say when I will be promoted, maybe I will have to do this office director to the end in my life." ”

"No, Lao Wu, I believe you will get what you want this time." Chen Xing encouraged.

"Hopefully, borrow your auspicious words, I hope there will be a surprise this time." Wu Gang smiled and nodded, as he spoke, he didn't have much hope in his heart, and there was a little silence in the carriage for a while, Wu Gang was envious of Chen Xing in his heart, there was such a leader behind him, and he could be promoted so quickly.

"Chen Xing, but I heard that Ximen County is also notoriously poor in Haicheng, and among several counties, districts and cities in Haicheng, Ximen City's economy is afraid to be at the bottom."

"Yes, Ximen is indeed poor, people who live in Haicheng City, if they hear that others are from Ximen County, they say that he is from the mountains, in Haicheng, many people are also a little prejudiced against Ximen County, I still remember hearing my mother say before, there is a colleague in their unit, her daughter's boyfriend happens to be from Ximen County, and after graduation, she also returned to her hometown to work, but her daughter wants to marry over there, her family disagrees, thinking that it is too poor, and her daughter has to endure hardships in the past, Later, she couldn't stand her daughter's insistence, she and her husband finally relented, and made conditions, requiring the man to come over, and asking the man to get Haicheng to find a job before he was willing to marry his daughter. ”

"This kind of thing is very normal, and it is a bit similar to the situation in our county, the men in our county go out to beg for a living, and it is not easy to beg for a living, and when they encounter some harsh eyes, they will dislike us for being poor there." Wu Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, so it's not easy for me to work in Ximen this time, and I don't know if I can make some achievements." Chen Xing unconsciously clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes were firm, he hoped that he could do a career in Ximen, although he was poor, but the more so, the more he could have a stage to show, Chen Xing must seize this opportunity, from a secretary to preside over the work of a county, this is a leap in the real meaning of his career, if he can make some achievements in this position, he will be able to lay a good foundation for his future development.

"It is estimated that your leader wants to test you while promoting you to see if you have the ability." Wu Gang said with a smile, glanced at Zeng Jing who was sitting alone in the back seat in the rearview mirror, and said with a smile, "Captain Zeng, why don't you keep quiet, don't say that our two big men have snubbed you later." ”

"No, I'm good to hear from you." Zeng Jing shook his head and smiled.

"By the way, Zeng Jing, are you still staying in the criminal police team after you go back this time?" Chen Xing turned his head to look at Zeng Jing curiously, he hadn't seen Zeng Jing talk about this in the past few days.

"Maybe not, maybe I'll have to go to the next branch."

"To the next branch? So it's going to be promoted? ”

"It's hard to say, just like what Wu just said, there is no eight characters." Zeng Jing smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter if I am promoted or not, anyway, I did a good job in the criminal police team, and the leader takes good care of me." ”

"You can't say that, people always have to look forward, and we can't just have the same idea of eating and waiting for death like others."

"Chen Xing, it's not right for you to say that, Captain Zeng is a comrade who is fighting on the front line, and he may sacrifice and shed blood for the country at any time, which is different from us." Wu Gang is serious.

"Also, the work of the police is still dangerous, and the criminal police team is the first group to deal directly with criminals, which is completely different from those of us who sit in the office, we can be said to be mixed food, Zeng Jing, you really can't." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.

Chen Xing and Wu Gang were talking, but they didn't notice the faint distressed look on Zeng Jing's face, but they were instantly hidden by Zeng Jing very well, and they talked and laughed with Chen Xing and Wu Gang as usual.

Several people talked and laughed all the way to the hotel, Chen Xing's classmates in this party school training have basically all arrived, and Chen Bin, who used to be in the same dormitory as Chen Xing, has already shuttled between everyone, chatting and laughing with people from time to time.

"Chen Bin's kid is still like that, fighting with everyone." Wu Gang saw Chen Bin's figure, his expression was slightly displeased, "Look, he walked towards us." ”

"Lao Wu, Chen Xing, you've arrived." Chen Bin caught a glimpse of Chen Xing and Wu Gang walking in, there was some bitterness in the depths of his eyes, and he turned around, but he was already pretending to be casual and greeted Chen Xing and Wu Gang, with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened before.

Chen Xing nodded lightly, walked to a position and sat down, and the other people on the side also greeted him one after another, compared with before, the change is very obvious, this is entirely because Chen Xing's order has come down, someone who is interested inquired a little, and immediately knew that Chen Xing was not only not affected by Liu Jian's incident, but was promoted, plus I don't know who inquired through a friend from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, and learned that Chen Xing turned out to be the secretary of Zhou Mingfang, the new head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. At this moment, many people began to regret it, regretting that they had not made good friends with Chen Xing before and missed the best opportunity.

Now I know Chen Xing's background and origin, but I have missed the opportunity, especially in the more than ten days after Chen Xing was 'arrested' by Liu Jian, many people decided that Chen Xing's political life was basically hopeless, and kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, but they didn't expect the other party to 'turn over' like this, and there was such a big leader behind him who was in charge of everyone's heads.

The most complicated in the hearts of the people present belonged to Chen Bin, not only because he regretted his previous attitude towards Chen Xing, but also because he was full of confidence in the matter of his own future, and he was also hit hard by the spring breeze. He has always respected his father-in-law, this time, it was the father-in-law who came forward to help intercede, and personally went to Dai Guo's house several times, and finally let Dai Guo loosen his mouth and promised to help in the promotion.

There is a person who doesn't know where to come out of nowhere to compete with him for the position of the director of the Chengguan District Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Chen Bin listened to his father-in-law's tone, and learned that his position is afraid that his position is not guaranteed, the person who competes with him is recommended by the leader of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and Dai Guo, director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, no matter how tough he is, will not be the candidate recommended by the Organization Department of the hard top for Chen Bin.

"Chen Xing, you have been promoted, and you have forgotten to say congratulations to you." Seeing that Chen Xing and Wu Gang were both a little lukewarm towards him, Chen Bin didn't seem to care at all, and walked up with a smile again, but the bitterness in the depths of his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Thank you." Chen Xing glanced at Chen Bin and nodded lightly.

"By the way, Chen Xing, you used to come from Haicheng, and you have been busy working and studying in the party school in the provincial capital for the past few months, and you don't have the opportunity to have a good time in the provincial capital, how about it, do you want to take advantage of this party school to study, take some time to go and play, I am very familiar with the various scenic spots in the provincial capital, how about being a tour guide for you." Chen Bin said with a smile.

"No, I'll go to Haicheng tomorrow." Chen Xing glanced at the other party with a smile.

Zeng Jing on the side looked at Chen Bin's expression, and suddenly felt a little sad for the other party, I knew now, why bother at the beginning, if I was the same as I was on the outside, I would not be as faceless and skinless as I am now.
