Chapter 20
"Sister Tan, why don't we go to the gate of the city government at night to block people?" Lu Xiaojing has a strong temper, and she has to try what she recognizes, "Didn't Mayor Chen say that he couldn't find time to see us, I didn't believe that I couldn't block him, not today, I will go tomorrow, I don't believe that I can't block him." ”
"Mr. Lu, that's not good, since Mayor Chen doesn't have time to see us, we may backfire in this way and arouse his disgust, which is not good." Tan Fang raised her head slightly, the roles of the two seemed to have been reversed overnight, last night it was Tan Fang who persuaded Lu Xiaojing to persevere, try to find an opportunity to meet with Chen Xing, the new mayor, to see if it could become the last hope of Jindu Hotel, but today, it was Tan Fang who was instilling negative thoughts into Lu Xiaojing.
"Sister Tan, you have to give it a try, if you give up like this, I'm not reconciled, as you told me last night, this may be our hope, we can't give up lightly, right?" Lu Xiaojing frowned.
"Yes, then Mayor Chen is indeed the hope of our hotel to break through the predicament, but I am afraid that we will arouse his disgust by blocking people in this way, I am worried about this, otherwise I am in favor of Mr. Lu's method." Tan Fang said in a low voice.
"I go to the gate of the city government every day to wait, and I go to and from work, and the mayor Chen will always see him, and he can not see him once, twice, and three times...... But I believe that there will always be a day when he will feel our sincerity. Lu Xiaojing clenched her delicate little fists tightly.
"That'...... That's just the way to go. Tan Fang didn't know what to say, she could only respond like this, at this moment, her mood was very complicated, watching the Lu family come to such a situation today, Tan Fang felt very uncomfortable, she was still taking the Lu family's salary, and she was extremely eager to hope that the Lu family could get out of the predicament, but she couldn't help herself, "Mr. Lu, it's nothing, then I'll go out and get busy first." ”
"Well, there you go." Lu Xiaojing nodded, looked at Tan Fang who walked out, and a trace of doubt flashed in Lu Xiaojing's eyes.
Night fell, Chen Xing, who was busy with a day's work, came out of the office, he made an appointment with Chen Deshi to have dinner in the evening, Chen Xing came over very punctually, in a restaurant near the state-owned steel mill, Chen Deshi was already waiting here early, although the hotel is not as good as the hotel, but it is also complete, and there are a few elegant small boxes inside.
"Mayor Chen, I, a small common man, can't afford to invite a big hotel, so I can only invite Mayor Chen to dinner in such a place." Chen Deshi scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Brother Chen said this, but I will see the outside, even if you invite me to your house to drink late white rice porridge, I am very happy in my heart." Chen Xing waved his hand disapprovingly, his words were not hypocritical, for a labor worker like Chen Deshi, Chen Xing respected him from the bottom of his heart.
Chen Deshi couldn't hear whether Chen Xing was polite or not, but in his eyes, a big leader like Chen Xing would undoubtedly eat in that kind of big hotel, Chen Xing said so, Chen Deshi also smiled innocently, and sat down with Chen Xing.
"Brother Chen, it's too wasteful for the two of us, just order a few home-cooked dishes, just enough to eat, I'm not picky about eating." Chen Xing said very casually, and his attitude also made Chen Deshi relax a lot.
Took the menu and ordered several dishes, beckoned the waiter to go out to prepare, Chen Deshi looked at Chen Xing with some confusion, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said with some difficulty under Chen Xing's gaze, "Mayor Chen, what, Zhou Yan's family wants to see you, and I didn't dare to agree, but after all, I am an old worker for more than 20 years, and it is difficult to refuse, so I also agreed to help ask, they are walking around here, Mayor Chen, if you are willing to see them, they will come over immediately, if you don't want to see, Then they will never bother. ”
After Chen Deshi finished speaking, he forgot about Chen Xing and glanced at him, Chen Xing came over, it was to give him face, and now that he is doing this, he doesn't know how to measure inches, but Zhou Chaifeng has been grinding at his house every day recently, which really gives him a headache, and he is also a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, if Zhou Chaifeng's daughter Zhou Yan is really innocent, he actually hopes to help.
"Brother Chen, you have already set up an ambush for me for this meal." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, looked at Chen Deshi, and said in his heart that if Chen Deshi didn't do this, then it would really not be Chen Deshi, and it was the integrity and sincerity of the other party that Chen Xing's voice of Brother Chen would be called from the bottom of his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xing immediately nodded and said, "Since they are around here, let them come over and listen to what they have to say." ”
Chen Deshi was also overjoyed when he heard Chen Xing's promise, and immediately took out the old Nokia mobile phone that had been used for some years from his pocket and called Zhou Chaifeng.
Just two or three minutes passed, there was a knock on the door outside the small box, Chen Deshi personally walked over to open the door, standing outside the door was not Zhou Chaifeng and his wife, the two of them were just hanging around this small restaurant ten meters away, as soon as they received Chen Deshi's call, they immediately came up.
"Mayor Chen, you can save our daughter." As soon as Zhou Chaifeng and his wife Chen Ping came in, their knees sank down, and they knelt down towards Chen Xing.
"What are you doing here, if you have something to say, talk about it." Chen Xing's eyes widened, the last thing he wanted to see was this kind of scene.
"Lao Zhou, what are you two doing here, you said that you are not allowed to do this, you didn't mean to embarrass me." Chen Deshi smiled bitterly, and raised his hand to pull Zhou Chaifeng up.
"Mayor Chen, my daughter Zhou Yan is really wronged, it is Zhang Xinjun who wants to rectify her, that beast is not a human, relying on himself to be the deputy mayor, powerful and powerful, and wants to put my daughter in prison, Mayor Chen, you have to make the decision for us." Zhou Chaifeng and Chen Ping still knelt still, no matter how Chen Deshi pulled, neither of them got up.
"If you get up and talk well, I will ask you questions, and if you kneel like this again, then I will just leave it alone." Chen Xing shook his head helplessly, he couldn't see this kind of thing kneeling at every turn, but then again, the common people are always a vulnerable group, and in the face of the privileged class, perhaps they themselves feel that only in this way can they express their wishes and win more sympathy.
"If you don't get up, then I'll really go." After Chen Xing finished speaking, he saw that the two of them were still kneeling, so he stood up and made a posture of walking out.
"Don't, don't, Mayor Chen, let's get up, don't go." Zhou Chaifeng and his family were afraid that Chen Xing would really leave, so they quickly got up from the ground, Zhou Chaifeng was better, but Chen Ping was a woman with tears streaming down.
"Mayor Chen is here, if you two have something to say, just say it, don't be like that again, don't be welcome." Chen Deshi whispered on the side, after all, today is his thread and help the two of them meet Chen Xing, Chen Deshi doesn't want to make Chen Xing unhappy, Zhou Chaifeng knelt down at every turn, which made him embarrassed somewhat.
"Mayor Chen, our old couple is also forced to do so, no one is cheap, we like to kneel, we just want to ask for an explanation for our daughter." Zhou Chaifeng also sat down on the side at Chen Deshi's signal, he didn't dare to sit down, his butt was only half of the chair, and a pair of eyes stared straight at Chen Xing.
"I've heard a little about your daughter." Chen Xing glanced at Chen Deshi, since the last time Chen Deshi went to his office in person, Chen Xing also paid attention to this matter to some extent, and asked Chen Deshi to inquire which public security bureau was handling this case, a few days ago, Chen Deshi also gave him a reply, that is, the Nanming District Bureau took over the case, the state-owned steel mill is in the jurisdiction of Nanming District, and Zhou Yan's household registration is also here.
Chen Xing said a word, and then there was no follow-up, his eyes fell on Zhou Chaifeng, he wanted to hear with his own ears what Zhou Chaifeng and the two of them said, what he heard from Chen Deshi's mouth, after all, it was better to listen to the two of them in person.
Zhou Chaifeng saw Chen Xing staring at him, the smile on his face was also bitter, the couple had this opportunity to avenge their grievances in front of Chen Xing, and naturally they didn't want to say anything about the ugliness of the family and not to publicize it, and everything was poured out, "Mayor Chen, we won't hide it from you, my daughter used to be Zhang Xinjun's lover, and she has maintained this unseemly relationship with Zhang Xinjun for four or five years, and we have persuaded her before, but she can't listen to it, for a while, the relationship with us is still very stiff, At that time, we were also disheartened and didn't want to care about her, until now something like this happened, we just have a daughter like her, no matter what, so we ran around, hoping to save her, this time, she didn't hide it from us anymore, and some things between Zhang Xinjun, she also told us something. ”
Zhou Chai Feng said, looked up at Chen Xing, Chen Xing made a look that continued, Zhou Chai Feng said again, "Originally, her relationship with Zhang Xinjun has always been good, but this time it will fall out, she said that it was because she knew that Zhang Xinjun had several lovers in addition to her, and she couldn't be angry, so she quarreled with Zhang Xinjun and asked Zhang Xinjun to fulfill his promise......
Zhou Chai Feng said slowly, Chen Xing listened to Zhou Chai Feng for the first time, a party who can be regarded as an insider, said in detail, only then did he know the reason for the matter, and put it to Zhou Chai Feng to tell him that his daughter Zhou Yan was not a woman who would be reduced to being a lover to others at the beginning, although she was divorced, but she would not be a junior, and Zhou Yan would be a lover to Zhang Xinjun, Zhang Xinjun was not the deputy mayor, but a director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Zhou Yan met Zhang Xinjun with the leaders of the accompanying factory at a dinner for the leaders of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Zhang Xinjun has been chasing her since he met.
Zhou Yan was not interested in Zhang Xinjun at first, because Zhang Xinjun had a family, and the children were all in junior high school, even if Zhou Yan was single, she didn't want to destroy the relationship between husband and wife, she herself was a loser in marriage, and she had skin pain, knowing how painful it was for women to encounter such a thing, so Zhou Yan rejected Zhang Xinjun, but then Zhang Xinjun used drugs to destroy her, and when she woke up, she begged her for forgiveness, saying that she was impulsive, and she liked her very much, in that case, Zhou Yan also forgave Zhang Xinjun in a daze, of course, Zhang Xinjun himself is a director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and he has a little power in his hands, and only the parties themselves know how much influence this factor has on Zhou Yan's thoughts.
Later, Zhang Xinjun was transferred from the province and served as the deputy mayor of Nanzhou City, climbing to a new peak in his career, Zhou Yan and Zhang Xinjun became more and more inseparable, because at this time, the relationship between the two was not only a personal relationship, but also mixed with some interest factors, Zhang Xinjun once promised Zhou Yan, saying that he wanted to give her 500,000 yuan to do business, and at the same time used his connections to help Zhou Yan do business, Zhou Yan believed Zhang Xinjun's words.
In the meantime, the two have not had conflicts, although Zhou Yan's identity is just Zhang Xinjun's lover, but to say how broad-minded a woman is, willing to serve a husband or something with others, it is pure nonsense, Zhou Yan does not force Zhang Xinjun to divorce his wife and then be with her or something, she respects Zhang Xinjun's current family, but she also has a requirement for Zhang Xinjun, that is, she is not allowed to have a relationship with other women anymore, this may also be a woman's monopoly psychology.
But Zhou Yan obviously doesn't understand a man's mentality, otherwise she wouldn't have a failed marriage, and she listened to some of Zhang Xinjun's sweet words to her, and even thought that Zhang Xinjun had some true feelings for her, and his expectations for Zhang Xinjun were too high, but for a man like Zhang Xinjun who has power in his hands, he will never satisfy his hunting psychology.
Zhang Jun coaxed Zhou Yan on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was looking for the target he was interested in, according to Zhou Yan's own knowledge, Zhang Xinjun in addition to her, also had an affair with a female subordinate, in addition to this, there was also a young girl, Zhou Yan didn't know what the other party was doing, but he had seen Zhang Xinjun contact the other party, these are the two that Zhou Yan knows, as for what she doesn't know, maybe not, maybe more, then only Zhang Xinjun himself knows.
Zhou Yan and Zhang Xinjun have quarreled the most intensely because of these things, and this time, the root of the outbreak of contradictions between the two sides, the fuse is still a woman, Zhou Yan knows that Zhang Xinjun has recently hooked up with a young girl, it seems that a little girl from the Youth League Committee, just after work, Zhou Yan was angry, and wanted to break off the relationship with Zhang Xinjun, but asked Zhang Xinjun to fulfill his previous promise and give her five million to do business, I never thought that Zhang Xinjun was unwilling, the two fell out directly, Zhang Xinjun directly said, if you want to get out, get out, Less in front of him, it was this sentence that made Zhou Yan angry, and she went everywhere to sue Zhang Xinjun, which pushed Zhou Yan herself to the point of no return, and on the second day of her complaint, she was taken away by the people of the Public Security Bureau, and now it is even more critical to be sentenced, Zhou Chaifeng and Chen Ping are looking for relationships everywhere as if they are crazy.
"Mayor Chen, what I told you is true, it was my daughter who said it herself, she said that she didn't have a word of lie, otherwise she wouldn't have died well, we definitely didn't lie to you." Zhou Chaifeng couldn't wait to swear to the sky, after saying so much, it was all his one-sided words, whether Chen Xing would believe him or not was still a question, what Zhou Chaifeng was most worried about was that Chen Xing had doubts.
"You've said what you should say, so I'll talk about my attitude." Chen Xing pondered for a while, after listening to so much, Chen Xing also had his own opinion in his heart, "Brother Chen said that you both are honest people, I am willing to believe you, but this involves comrades in the city, and I can't just listen to your words and believe your words, I will understand this matter first, and I will reply to you later." ”
"Mayor Chen, what we said is true, you have to make decisions for our daughter." Chen Ping, who hadn't spoken much, almost knelt down again, and the tears kept flowing down without stopping, when she heard Chen Xing's words, her heart was already half cold, and the last thing she and Zhou Chaifeng heard during this time was something like what Chen Xing said at this time, and now that Chen Xing said this, she naturally thought that Chen Xing was perfunctory to them.
"Tsk, I didn't say you were lying, but you always have to give me time to understand." Chen Xing smiled bitterly, seeing the worries of the two, Chen Xing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, since I asked you to come over, I won't perfunctory you, even if I can't control it in the end, I will give you a clear word, and I won't drag it out in vain." ”
"Lao Zhou, Chen Ping, Mayor Chen is a good leader, you have to believe his words, if you don't believe him, why bother standing here and begging him, since you have said everything you want to say, then you have to believe Mayor Chen, give Mayor Chen a little time." Chen Deshi helped Zhou Chaifeng and his family with their work at this time.
Chen Xing will no longer speak, he is willing to help the other party, this is because he has his own conscience and bottom line in his heart, but he will not deliberately say something about how the other party can believe his words.
This meal with Chen Deshi, the food was tepid, Chen Deshi was not good at words, and the honest Mu Na's temperament could not play a role in enlivening the atmosphere, plus there were two husbands and wives Zhou Chai Feng and Chen Ping present, and because of his daughter Zhou Yan's incident, the atmosphere can be said to have been a little depressed, if it weren't for Chen Xing making a few jokes from time to time, the atmosphere might have been cold.
Chen Xing came out of the hotel at about 8 o'clock, Zhou Chaifeng and his family followed Chen Deshi to send Chen Xing to the car, the eyes of both of them fell on Chen Xing pitifully, and they never moved away from beginning to end, and they were worried that Chen Xing would leave this matter behind him when he left, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Since I promised you, I will give you an answer." Before getting into the car, Chen Xing emphasized to Zhou Chaifeng and his family, which can also be regarded as his promise.
