After the cadre meeting of the municipal party committee, for the entire middle-level and above cadres in Nanzhou City, the most concerned thing is who the new secretary of the municipal party committee will be, as for Ge Jianming, he was transferred to the secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, and his career is a small step up, but in the future, whether Nanzhou can still maintain its current influence, this can make people doubtful, after all, it is transferred away, even if the ranking of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee is higher, what if the new secretary of the municipal party committee does not buy it, The influence that Ge Jianming can exert on Nanzhou City will undoubtedly be discounted.

After Chen Xing came back from the municipal party committee, he rushed to the airport, the original trip to the capital has not changed, although Ge Jianming has been transferred, but the subway project still has to go on as planned, no matter who the new secretary of the municipal party committee is, Chen Xing is very enthusiastic about this project.

On the way to the airport, Chen Xing picked up his mobile phone and read a few text messages, all of which were sent by Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin, who finished the concert, will leave Nanzhou tomorrow, and expressed great regret for Zhang Xin, who was unable to drink with Chen Xing last night because of Ye Chengfeng's affairs, and hoped to invite Chen Xing alone tonight.

Chen Xing looked at the text message, and then put the phone back in his pocket, but after thinking about it for a while, he still took it out and gave Zhang Xin a reply, and then deleted all the text messages.

In the evening, there was the last flight from Nanzhou to Beijing, and Chen Xing came to catch this flight.

After about two hours, Chen Xing and his entourage arrived in the capital, accompanied by Chen Xing's secretary Huang Jianghua and Xiao Yuanqing, director of the government office.

In the briefcase, there was a large stack of thick materials, all of which were related to the subway project, which was held by Huang Jianghua.

Deng Ming, director of the Beijing Office of Nanzhou City, came to pick up the airport, and the Beijing Office drove two cars, Xiao Yuanqing and Huang Jianghua took one, and Chen Xing sat alone.

His wife Zhang Ningning was seven or eight months pregnant, and Chen Xing couldn't bear to let his wife pick up the airport, so only the Beijing Office and his party came over.

After arriving at the Beijing Office, Chen Xing asked Xiao Yuanqing and Huang Jianghua to live in the Beijing Office, and contacted him by phone if there was something, and Chen Xing drove away a car from the Beijing Office and went straight back to his home.

Pregnant for almost eight months, Zhang Ningning's belly is already very large, and the fetus in her belly has already taken shape at this time.

At home, the mother-in-law Zeng Yun has moved over to live with his wife, so that he can take care of his wife, when Chen Xing arrived home, the mother and daughter were sitting and watching TV, as if they were watching a sketch performed by a famous comedian, and the laughter of the two could be heard before Chen Xing entered the door.

The sound of the key opening the door attracted the attention of the two, Zeng Yun came over and was about to open the door, Chen Xing had already opened the door by himself and came in, and when he saw Zeng Yun, he shouted sweetly, "Mom." ”

"Just get off the plane and rush back." Zeng Yun glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, "I specially saved dinner for you, it's still hot." ”

"Well, my stomach is growling with hunger." Chen Xing said with a smile.

The steaming meal was served, Chen Xing didn't have anything to pay attention to in his own home, he gobbled up the bowl with it, and Zhang Ningning, who was sitting on the side, looked at it and smiled, "Chen Xing, you eat slowly, look at you like this, as if you are so hungry that you haven't eaten for a few days." ”

"It's not that I'm so hungry that I haven't eaten for a few days, it's that my mother's food is delicious, of course I have to eat it quickly." Chen Xing grinned, and didn't forget to pat his mother-in-law's ass.

"Chen Xing, I see that you have been the mayor for a while, and your mouth is becoming more and more able to speak, it seems that this official can still exercise his eloquence." Zeng Yun shook his head and smiled.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Alright, let's eat it quickly, while it's hot." Zeng Yun smiled, and said that her son-in-law was half a child, and she was married to Chen Xing as a baby daughter of Zhang Ningning, and Zeng Yun also regarded Chen Xing as a real family.

"Well, I'll eat it while it's hot." Chen Xing nodded, if he was so obedient and talked too much, he became hypocritical, and he didn't need to keep emphasizing it over and over again.

Zhang Ningning sat on the side, resting one hand on the table, supporting his chin, watching Chen Xing eat, always with a smile on his face, sometimes quietly looking at his lover, it was also a kind of enjoyment.

After a while, Zhang Ningning saw that Chen Xing had eaten almost, and then said with a smile, "Chen Xing, when you came back to the capital this time, you shouldn't have come back to see me." ”

"Who said that, of course I came back to see you on purpose." Chen Xing swore solemnly.

"Really?" Zhang Ningning dragged the last word for a long time, and looked at Chen Xing with a smile, "You workaholic, if you want to say that you came back to the capital to see me, I don't believe it." ”

"Ning Ning, what you said hit me too much." Chen Xing said with a smile, but as soon as he met Zhang Ningning's sparkling eyes, Chen Xing couldn't say anything he wanted to make up, and said honestly, "This time I came to the capital to find out about the subway project, of course, it is also important to come back to see you." ”

"I'll just say it." Zhang Ningning glanced at Chen Xing, she looked like she was angry, but she was a little more charming.

"The subway project? Chen Xing, do you want to apply for a subway project in Nanzhou? Zeng Yun looked at Chen Xing suspiciously, and suddenly interjected.

"It's still early to declare, but the city has this plan, but it's still on paper, I came back to the capital this time, just to find out first, to see if the subway project is good or not." Chen Xing said.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, the two years on this approval is relatively strict, last year there were more than 10 cities together to declare, the real approval of the guò is only two, although some cities are provincial capitals, but located in the central and western regions, in fact, the conditions are not enough, now the central government in the local planning and construction of some large projects, the phenomenon of blindly following the trend is still very important, this examination and approval of this pass, much stricter than before, the Ministry of Finance, the funds are also very tight." Zeng Yun said that she works in the Ministry of Finance and undoubtedly has a lot to say about this.

"Mom, some cities don't have the conditions and want to follow the trend, but our Nanzhou really has the conditions to build a subway." Chen Xing said seriously.

"Although Nanzhou is also a coastal city, among the provincial capitals of all coastal provinces, Nanzhou can be regarded as a backward area." Zeng Yun glanced at Chen Xing with a smile.

"Mom, it's impossible to compare like this, there is naturally a little gap between Nanzhou and other developed coastal cities, but we also have to consider the economic development speed of Nanzhou, the total population is not, in the past two years, Nanzhou's development is still very fast, you haven't been to Nanzhou, if you go, you will be surprised." Chen Xing said with a smile, "I think that the provincial capitals of some central provinces have already built subways in the early years, and Nanzhou, as the capital city of the coastal province, cannot be compared." ”

"It's useless for the two of us to talk more here, the current policy is really not easy to criticize, but it's hard to say if you don't try it, it's better for you to touch the situation first." Zeng Yun said with a smile.

"Mom, I haven't even started yet, but I was hit by your confidence." Chen Xing smiled bitterly.

"You, why didn't I see you being hit in the slightest." Zeng Yun pointed at Chen Xing with a smile, and looked at his daughter and son-in-law, "Okay, it's rare for you two to reunite, I won't bother you anymore, let's go into the house." ”

Zeng Yun said, turned around and walked back to the bedroom, leaving Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning behind.

"Ning Ning, the two of us haven't seen each other for a month, isn't it time to be affectionate." When Chen Xing saw his mother-in-law leave, he looked at his wife with a wicked smile.

"I hate it, don't mess around, if you have a tire, it's up to you what to do." Zhang Ningning glanced at her mother's bedroom and saw that the bedroom door had been closed, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that her husband's words would be heard by her mother.

"I'm just talking casually, look at your urgency." Chen Xing said with a smile and walked around the table, he was eight months pregnant, it was best not to have sex with him, he still had this common sense, but when he thought that his child would be born in two months, Chen Xing's calm mood was also a little excited.

"I listen to the child." Possessed and attached to Zhang Ningning's belly, Chen Xing listened very attentively, no matter what position he had outside, what his status, but at home, he was an old child who had not yet become a father, and Chen Xing occasionally had a childlike side.

"Yo, the kid seems to be kicking me in the cheek." Chen Xing's eyes widened and he said excitedly.

Zhang Ningning smiled slightly, she also felt that the child in her belly was moving, her hands were gently placed on both sides of her belly, watching her husband happy like a child, Zhang Ningning showed a satisfied smile on her face.

The long-lost warm feeling permeated the room, and Chen Xing's child-like expression of joy made it impossible to overlap it with his image as mayor.

"Chen Xing, come back this time and stay a few more days." Zhang Ningning asked softly, revealing a strong attachment in his tone.

"Huh?" Chen Xing glanced up at his wife in surprise, this kind of affection is not common in his wife, maybe it is because of this atmosphere at this moment, Chen Xing thought in his heart.

"Okay, then I'll stay with you for two more days and then go back." Chen Xing nodded and smiled, since his wife was pregnant, he did have very little time by his side.

"Okay, that's what you said, don't suddenly get a phone call and rush back to Nanzhou in a hurry." Zhang Ningning said with a smile.

"No, it won't." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.

The two sat and chatted, I don't know when, Zhang Ningning had already fallen asleep leaning on Chen Xing's body, seeing his wife sleeping sweetly, Chen Xing showed a gentle smile on his face, gently picked up his wife, and walked carefully to the bedroom.

Early the next morning, after Chen Xing finished breakfast, he went out early, and after meeting with Deng Ming, director of the Beijing Office, Xiao Yuanqing, and Huang Jianghua, Chen Xing came to the National Development and Reform Commission, but the car was only parked outside the gate of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Chen Xing did not get out of the car immediately, but first called Wang Weilin, director of the Industrial Planning Department.

After a brief conversation with Wang Weilin, Chen Xing hung up the phone and turned to Deng Ming, who was a cameo as a driver, "Director Deng, go to the Lanjing Club, do you know where it is?" ”

"Of course I know, Mayor Chen, I've been the director of the Beijing Office for many years, and if I don't even know where a club is located, then I'll be in vain for a few years." Deng Ming said with a smile, "To put it mildly, our familiarity with the capital is no worse than that of the so-called old Beijing." ”

"Isn't it, if you calculate carefully, Director Deng seems to have been the director of the Beijing Office for eight years, right?" Xiao Yuanqing said with a smile.

"Director Xiao, you remember it clearly." Deng Ming glanced at Xiao Yuanqing, nodded with a smile, he vaguely remembered that when he was the director of the Beijing Office, Xiao Yuanqing didn't know where he was in the mix, it is estimated that he was still a small cadre at the unit level of the Statistics Bureau at that time, right? This hugged the leader's thigh, and he has risen faster than a rocket in the past year, just like him, he is a department-level cadre, Deng Ming has to sigh in his heart, it's good to follow the leader.

The Blue Crystal Club, located in the second ring of the capital, is in a deep and secluded old alley, which looks inconspicuous, and there is no lively scene outside the door, but Chen Xing also knows that most of the slightly higher-grade cadres in the capital have their own places where they are used to meeting guests, but they have met Wang Weilin several times before, but they have never heard him mention this place.

The clubhouse that looked inconspicuous outside the door, as soon as he entered it, he knew that there was another world, Chen Xing looked at it, and was not surprised at all, there are many places similar to this kind of place in the capital.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wang Weilin was late, and when he saw Chen Xing, Wang Weilin said with a smile, "Mayor Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the delay." ”

"Director Wang is polite, you can take the time to come, it's too late for me to be happy." Chen Xing smiled.

Deng Ming, the director of the Beijing Office standing on the side, had already helped Wang Weilin move the chair out in a timely manner at this time, so that Wang Weilin could sit down, the most important thing he lacked as the director of the Beijing Office was the experience of dealing with Beijing officials, similar to a director-level leader like Wang Weilin, Deng Ming had also been in contact, but there were not many opportunities, like Wang Weilin's attitude towards Chen Xing was so polite, Wang Weilin knew that Wang Weilin was not just because Chen Xing was the mayor, the most important thing was the identity of the Zhang family behind Chen Xing, if there was no more of that layer of identity, Wang Weilin's current attitude is afraid that it is thousands of miles away, Deng Ming has been dealing with ministries and commissions in the capital for a long time, but he knows that the head of a large ministry like the National Development and Reform Commission is a common thing for the mayor of the prefecture and city level who comes up below to run the relationship, and every time Chen Xing comes to see Wang Weilin, the other party is very face-saving and tries his best to help, but what works is Chen Xing's identity as the son-in-law of the Zhang family.

"Mayor Chen asked me out today, but he didn't just invite me to tea." After Wang Weilin sat down, he glanced at Chen Xing with a smile.

"If I say yes, it would be hypocritical, and if I want to say no, it would be too direct." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, and as he spoke, he glanced at Huang Jianghua behind him, Huang Jianghua immediately understood, and handed the text to the desktop in front of Chen Xing.

"I knew that Mayor Chen would think of me when he had something." Wang Weilin smiled, this sound a little unpleasant, but Wang Weilin said it purely as a joke at the moment, and it didn't make people feel anything, but the next sentence made Chen Xing stunned for a moment, and only listened to Wang Weilin, "Mayor Chen, while I can still help you a little now, I can also help as much as I can, and I won't be able to help much if I want to help in the future." ”

"Oh, what is Director Wang?" Chen Xing chuckled in his heart and looked at Wang Weilin suspiciously.

"Mayor Chen, I'm going to go down to take up a post, and I won't be in the NDRC in the future, so I can help Mayor Chen." Wang Weilin smiled and said the reason.

"So that's the case, looking at Director Wang's appearance, it should be a good thing." Chen Xing thought about it, Wang Weilin is the main hall of real power, and he will be suspended below, if he goes to the place or the temporary position is not good, it is equivalent to a 'demotion' in disguise, but seeing that Wang Weilin seems to be in a good mood, he wants to come to this downgraded place, it should be a good transfer.

"Fortunately, I was transferred to Dongning City as the secretary of the municipal party committee." Wang Weilin nodded slightly, his transfer has been confirmed, Chen Xing will know sooner or later, Wang Weilin didn't hide anything, for Chen Xing, this kind of thing is also easy to inquire.

"That's really gratifying, Director Wang, congratulations." When Chen Xing heard this, he hurriedly congratulated Wang Weilin, no wonder Wang Weilin was in a very good mood, this transfer is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for Wang Weilin, Dongning City is also a relatively developed coastal city, and cadres at this level like Wang Weilin are undoubtedly cadres who belong to the key inspection of the Central Organization Department.

"Mayor Chen, when I go to work in Dongning, welcome Mayor Chen to lead an economic delegation to investigate, between the two cities, there is always a place of mutual assistance and complementarity, I welcome you entrepreneurs from Nanzhou City to invest." Wang Weilin said with a smile.

"Director Wang, I still want to say this to you, when Director Wang arrives in Dongning, I will lead more teams to your Dongning to attract investment, and Director Wang can give us more cheers when he arrives." Chen Xing responded with a smile.

"Okay, Mayor Chen, you have made up your mind so quickly." Wang Weilin pointed at Chen Xing with a smile, because of this transfer, Wang Weilin is in a good mood these days, this will undoubtedly be a casual joke with Chen Xing, but when he arrives in Dongning, what will be the real situation, it is difficult to say.

Chen Xing accompanied Wang Weilin and smiled, his face was full of smiles, but he was very depressed in his heart, Wang Weilin was still introduced to his brother-in-law Zhang Yi at the beginning, it is rare to be able to go through the back door, and he knows a real power figure in the National Development and Reform Commission, this is good, Wang Weilin is going to be transferred to the place, which means that it will not be as easy as it is now to run projects in the National Development and Reform Commission, Chen Xing can be happy, but Wang Weilin is in a good mood, Chen Xing also knows that this is not the time to say anything to disappoint the fun, no matter what, I haven't known Wang Weilin for a long time, and the other party has helped them win a lot of benefits in Nanzhou, especially the approval of Nangang Group, Wang Weilin has made great efforts in this matter.

After Wang Weilin and Chen Xing chatted a few words, seeing that Chen Xing did not take the initiative to say what was the matter with him this time, Wang Weilin glanced at the Wen Jiàn clip on the table, and Wang Weilin did not take the initiative to speak, but said with a smile, "Mayor Chen, it was not my idea to ask you to come here this time, it was someone else who wanted to meet you." ”

"Really?" Chen Xing glanced at Wang Weilin suspiciously, no wonder he hadn't heard Wang Weilin talk about this place, but who would come to him through Wang Weilin? Chen Xing does not know other department-level officials of the National Development and Reform Commission in his memory.

"Mayor Chen, Ji Kang is the director, you should have an impression." Wang Weilin glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, and did not hide it, and said, "Director Kang Wei has long wanted to meet Mayor Chen, and this time it happened to be just in time for Mayor Chen to come to me and let me be a middleman. ”

"No, what did Director Wang say?" Chen Xing hurriedly said, his face was silent, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, he obviously didn't want to meet that Ji Kangwei, but Wang Weilin helped him a lot, Chen Xingming couldn't say anything on his face.

Ji Kang wanted to see him, Chen Xing didn't have to think about it and knew that it must be related to his son's kidnapping and intent on forcing his daughter to do Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng didn't know that Jiang Feng was still in Nanzhou in the past two days, Jiang Feng involved in this matter seemed to be just an insignificant reporter from the People's Daily, but someone above wanted to make a fuss about this matter, and it was already involved in the fight between the two factions, Chen Xing didn't want to get involved in this matter at all, and the old man even called him to warn him, how dare Chen Xing be the wind in his ears.

"Wait for that Ji Kangwei to come over, no matter what the other party says, and what conditions he promises, I can't agree to anything." Chen Xing said secretly, and raised a little vigilance in his heart, Wang Weilin may not be able to refute Ji Kangwei's face, and he has no clear position, but he is resolute that he can't agree to Ji Kangwei for anything, not to mention that Jiang Feng is still his friend, this matter involves two factions, and Chen Xing does not dare to get involved lightly.
