Chapter 80: Hidden Edge
Sitting in Zhao Yiping's mayor's car, Chen Xing stared out the window absentmindedly, and the landscape on both sides of the road was running in the opposite direction of the car, fleeting.
The scenery that disappeared with the car was like the picture in Chen Xing's memory, page by page, but it became a thing of the past with the passage of time.
"Master, where is this?" Chen Xing noticed that the car was moving away from the city center.
"Secretary Chen, Mayor Zhao is waiting for you at a café on the outskirts of the city."
The Shengshi Tea Store in the suburbs of the city has a lot of popularity in Haicheng, and there are also several branches in the urban area, Chen Xing doesn't know how Zhao Yiping, who has just arrived in Haicheng, would know here, and deliberately found this in the suburbs.
"Chen Xing, we haven't seen each other for a few years."
Tonight, Zhao Yiping was wearing a slightly casual lady's dress, a little less of the majesty of the mayor and a little more of the affinity of the elders, Chen Xing guessed whether this was the atmosphere that Zhao Yiping deliberately created.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, and Mayor Zhao is not old at all."
"Hehe, Chen Xing, your mouth is becoming more and more able to speak, and when you become the leader's secretary, the level is different."
"Mayor Zhao laughed, I'm telling the truth, you haven't aged at all, you're still so young."
"Yes." Zhao Yiping glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, "Chen Xing, I remember that you used to call me Aunt Zhao, and you didn't see each other for a few years?" If I call you Chen Xing, you should call me Aunt Zhao, that's fine. ”
Chen Xing smiled indifferently, Zhao Yiping at this moment gave him more and more strange feelings, the Zhao Yiping in his impression only had indifference and ridicule to him, that was the Zhao Yiping he was familiar with, not wearing a false mask like this at the moment.
"Hey, Chen Xing, I know you have a grudge against me." Zhao Yiping sighed suddenly, "But as a mother, I am also selfish, I hope that my daughter can live happily, without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime, instead of running around and working hard for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in this cruel society full of competition in reality, before old age, people are full of wrinkles and smiles when they reach middle age, that is the sorrow of women, aunt I am a person from the past, and I have suffered deeply when I was young, so I hope that my daughter can always live happily, you should understand my hardships as a mother, At that time, your career was undecided, and it was indeed inappropriate to be with Xiaoqing. ”
"I understand Mayor Zhao's feelings, and you are also thinking about your daughter's happiness."
"Look, you kid still can't figure it out, one by one, Mayor Zhao shouted, you have been to your aunt's house several times."
"That was a few years ago."
"yes, it's been a few years in the blink of an eye." Zhao Yiping seemed to be sentimental, and then smiled, "So you should go to your aunt's house more often when you have time, aunt is now working in Haicheng, and there are no familiar people, just someone like you, you, if you have time, you will come to talk to your aunt more." ”
Chen Xing smiled and nodded, and glanced at Zhao Yiping quietly, Zhao Yiping's words have a deep meaning, Chen Xing is not a fool, he can hear the hint in Zhao Yiping's words, in Haicheng, Zhao Yiping needs him to often 'visit the door', as his mother said, Zhao Yiping needs to fully understand Zhou Mingfang's person, and know his thoughts in time.
"How is it, Chen Xing, have you listened to your aunt's words?" Zhao Yiping smiled and stared at Chen Xing tightly.
"Mayor Zhao is polite, it is Chen Xing's honor to be invited by Mayor Zhao." Chen Xing said calmly.
Zhao Yiping smiled, and the smile on her face became lighter and fainter.
"Chen Xing, you have matured, and your people have changed." There was always a shallow smile on the corner of Zhao Yiping's mouth, "Aunt is very pleased to see that you have such an achievement now, Xiaoqing got married very early, and now the child is one or two years old, you, it's time to work hard, how about it, do you want your aunt to introduce you to a few talented and beautiful women?" ”
"Thank you Mayor Zhao for your kindness, I still focus on my work now, and I am not in a hurry for the time being."
"The ancients said that there is no conflict between starting a family and starting a business, Chen Xing, you have fallen into a misunderstanding."
"Maybe, but sometimes people are like a stubborn head, often have unusual paranoia in one thing, I once said to myself, I must mix up a person in this life, how to say it, I don't expect to be superior, but I don't want to be half a cut shorter than others, so that people look down on me, just like Auntie, you also suffered when you were young, I have also suffered greatly."
"Chen Xing, you have changed, you have really changed, my aunt is very pleased, very relieved." Zhao Yiping smiled, and the shallow smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more faint.
