The sun is rising, the early morning of summer, the sky is brighter than usual, more than six o'clock, Chen Xing got up as usual, picked up the mobile phone to look at the time, Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, the biological clock in his head is about to catch up with the alarm clock, every day is almost at this point to wake up, the alarm clock set in the mobile phone rarely comes in handy.

Get up and wash, last night's ** did not cost Chen Xing much energy, at this time he was particularly energetic, looking at himself in the mirror, there were already wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, although he had to look carefully to see, but Chen Xing also had to sigh, from a young man who had just stepped into the society, to now he has entered the age of establishment, accustomed to the deceit in the system, insidious and cruel, Chen Xing knows that he is aging day by day.

Yes, it's not growing up, but aging, at least Chen Xing himself thinks so, the old mentality that doesn't match his age makes Chen Xing not have an easy time, when he goes farther and farther on the road of power, Chen Xing looks back at dusk, the lights are gone, what is buried is his happy childhood, ignorant teenager, youthful dreams, when he was young, he still thought about being able to travel around the world in the future.

The child is about to be born, this is a thing that makes Chen Xing's slightly old mentality feel excited from his bones, and he can't help but count the time, Chen Xing, who will be in the capital in a few days, can't help but smile on his face, his wife's due date is approaching.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and going out, the driver Li Yong was already waiting downstairs in the car on time.

After buying a simple breakfast on the side of the road, Chen Xing came to the office, and every day's work began in such repetition, and there was still a pile of essays on the table, which were not processed yesterday, and today, there will be a pile.

Secretary Huang Jianghua walked in and poured a cup of hot water for Chen Xing and put it on the table, Chen Xing was sitting on the chair and was distracted, seeing Huang Jianghua, Chen Xing commanded, "Xiao Chen, is Director Xiao here, you let him come over." ”

"Director Xiao hasn't arrived today." Huang Jianghua shook his head.

"Oh?" Chen Xing looked at the time strangely, Xiao Yuanqing would never arrive later than him in the past, unless there was something, it was strange today, this will not come yet.

Waving his hand to signal Huang Jianghua to leave, Chen Xing only remembered it the next moment, patted his forehead, and almost forgot that today is the day of the trial of Chang Zhijian's case, Xiao Yuanqing is going to observe, I greeted him yesterday, and this morning, Xiao Yuanqing will obviously not come.

Xiao Yuanqing was not here, and Chen Xing, who had something to tell Xiao Yuanqing to do, gave up.

Approaching nine o'clock, Chen Xing unexpectedly received a call from Ge Jianming, and on the phone, Ge Jianming asked Chen Xing to come out for a talk.

"Hey, I can't sit still." After hanging up the phone, a slight smile appeared on Chen Xing's face, last night Zhou Zhijin personally sent the Wen Jiàn bag to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, looking at Ge Jianming's posture, ** Cheng has the intention of protecting Jia Zhengde.

Coming out of the office, Chen Xing went straight to the place where he made an appointment with Ge Jianming, in the private room of the hotel, Ge Jianming was drinking tea alone, next to his secretary Xu Wei, after Chen Xing came in, Xu Wei stood up and nodded slightly at Chen Xing.

"Why is Secretary Jianming so idle to drink tea." Chen Xing approached with a smile.

"Mayor Chen is here." Ge Jianming looked at Chen Xing and didn't get up, what Chen Xing said when he came to hear was something in Ge Jianming's ears, saying that he had the leisure to drink tea? Hearing these words in Ge Jianming's ears, it meant something, and Ge Jianming became more and more convinced at this time that Chen Xing had a plan, and it was related to Jia Zhengde's share of the bag, and Chen Xing did it on purpose.

Politely invited Chen Xing to sit down, two people who were not familiar but could be regarded as old friends, their eyes swept over each other's faces, their eyes were staggered, Chen Xing pretended to be careless, and Ge Jianming also looked indifferent.

"That smuggling case, I heard that the investigation is almost over?" Ge Jianming spoke quietly.

"It should be almost over, Assistant Zhou only reported this case to me yesterday, I heard that individual leaders in the city were involved, and Assistant Zhou didn't dare to deal with it without authorization, and handed over the relevant part to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I think Secretary Ge should know." Chen Xing smiled.

"I've read the information, I don't know what Mayor Chen thinks?" After Ge Jianming finished speaking, he stared at Chen Xing tightly, asked Chen Xing to come out today, Ge Jianming just wanted to test Chen Xing's purpose, Jia Zhengde was brought up by him, and now he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, Ge Jianming doesn't want the general under his command to be ruined like this, although Jia Zhengde's appearance makes him not very satisfied, but now the top priority, Ge Jianming is to wipe Jia Zhengde's buttocks.

The smile on Chen Xing's face became brighter and brighter, Ge Jianming's reaction made him very happy, Ge Jianming paid more and more attention to Jia Zhengde, and his goal was easier to achieve.

"Secretary Jianming, I don't know what you think of Vice Mayor Zeng?" Chen Xing smiled, seemingly talking about a marginal topic.

"Zeng Gaoqiang?" Ge Jianming was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Chen Xing to suddenly mention Zeng Gaoqiang, he wanted to test what Chen Xing meant on the issue of Jia Zhengde, what did Chen Xing do with him mentioning Zeng Gaoqiang?

"Yes, Secretary Jianming has been in Nanzhou longer than me, and he must know more about Vice Mayor Zeng than I do." Chen Xing said indifferently.

"During my tenure in Nanzhou, Zeng Gaoqiang was only the director of the Municipal Health Bureau, and it was only this year that he was promoted to deputy mayor, does Mayor Chen think I will know a lot about him?" Ge Jianming pursed his lips disapprovingly, when he was the leader of Nanzhou City, he was a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, a deputy ministerial-level cadre, and a department-level cadre in Gaoqiang District, how could he be qualified to let him have an in-depth understanding, and he was not the number one who was full and had nothing to do.

Looking up at Chen Xing, seeing Chen Xing leisurely picking up the teacup and drinking tea, Ge Jianming twisted his eyebrows slightly, Chen Xing doesn't seem to be a person without a purpose, what is the meaning of Zeng Gaoqiangran?

Suddenly, Ge Jianming thought about it, two months ago, it seemed that someone sent a document on Zeng Gaoqiang's violation of law and discipline to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, which would be when he was just transferred to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

With a move in his heart, Ge Jianming looked at Chen Xing, could it be that Chen Xing meant this?

"Secretary Jianming, what's wrong?" Chen Xing saw that Ge Jianming's expression had changed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, thinking that Ge Jianming must have guessed his purpose.

"Nothing." Ge Jianming waved his hand, glanced at Chen Xing, and secretly said that this young man is really getting more and more ruthless, as soon as Deng Yi is transferred to Nanzhou, he will show a posture of suppressing Chen Xing, I am afraid that it will not end well, at this moment Chen Xing borrowed Jia Zhengde to put his army, undoubtedly borrowing his hand to fight back against Deng Yi, Zeng Gaoqiang, this wall grass is now close to Deng Yi, Chen Xing is going to be ruthless, the most important thing is that Chen Xing does this, it will inevitably cause a gap between him and Deng Yi, if Chen Xing is really so calculating, it is killing two birds with one stone.

Ge Jianming's brows furrowed unconsciously.

……

In the busy street, Chen Xing came out of the hotel room with a leisurely expression.

Just when Chen Xing came out and the door was just closed, in the private room, there was a small compartment in the world, Jia Zhengde walked out, seeing Ge Jianming's face, Jia Zhengde looked embarrassed, and walked to Ge Jianming, Jia Zhengde, who was weak-hearted, stood and didn't dare to sit down, at this time, he also had nothing to say.

Chen Xing was in a very good mood, and in a hidden conversation with Ge Jianming, Chen Xing believed that Ge Jianming would make a choice, and Ge Jianming's final attitude also made him happy.

It's almost noon, Chen Xing is not in a hurry to go back, after eating lunch outside and then going back, is thinking about where to eat, he received a call from He Li, He Li's voice is a little crazy, Chen Xing thought that something big had happened, only after listening to it, I knew that He Li was deceived by someone, last week someone tricked her into investing in gold, and He Li, who was so idle and panicked, invested millions to play, it was fine a few days ago, and when I was ready to log in to the account today, I found that the account could not be logged in, and called the person who introduced her, The phone didn't get through.

"Chen Xing, you said that your government doesn't care about this matter, and I, the common people's property, have suffered losses, so you can't ignore it as the mayor." He Li complained on the phone.

"You should report this to the Public Security Bureau, what are you looking for me to do?" Chen Xing couldn't laugh or cry.

"I don't care, I'll look for you for this matter, you, the big mayor, will go down and the people from the Public Security Bureau will seriously handle the case." He Li began to be unreasonable.

"You go to find Lu Ming, he is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and you are afraid that he will not be able to speak well." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly, this woman is just too idle, listening carefully to He Li's movements, Chen Xing wondered, "He Li, I said where are you?" How does it sound noisy. ”

"On the street, isn't this deceived, I'm angry, I'm looking for Sister Chu to go shopping, I'm going to buy something hard to get angry." He Lijiao smiled, and then said, "Are you still in the city government?" It's Sister Chu's mention to call you, oh, our two beauties strongly ask you to come out to eat together at noon. ”

"Tsk..." Chen Xing smashed his mouth, he was not in a hurry when he was deceived by the other party, he was teasing himself just now, Chen Xing rolled his eyes, what this woman was thinking in her head, Chen Xing really couldn't figure it out, but it was normal to think about it, how could He Li really be crazy for millions.

"Where are you two?" Chen Xing thought that he was about to have lunch outside, so he simply called the two of them over, looked back at the hotel, and then remembered that Ge Jianming hadn't come out yet, Chen Xing pouted, it was better not to eat in this area.

"We're on Zhongshan North Road."

"Okay, I'll go over then."

made an appointment with a place, Chen Xing instructed Li Yong to drive over, Chu Rong and He Li booked a box first, when Chen Xing arrived, he went directly into the hotel, his steps were hurried, but Chen Xing didn't notice that when he first entered the hotel gate, a man and a woman who came from the other side were stunned when they saw him.

Deng Erming and Zhu Ziqing glanced at each other, both of them recognized Chen Xing, obviously they didn't expect to meet Chen Xing by chance, Deng Erming looked surprised, and Zhu Ziqing was slightly distracted.

"Miss Ziqing, it's really a coincidence, I can meet Mayor Chen here." After Deng Erming saw Chen Xing walk into the hotel, he smiled and said to Zhu Zi on the side.

Zhu Ziqing didn't speak, and was still a little stunned, until Deng Erming on the side called her twice, and Zhu Ziqing came back to his senses, "Old Deng, what did you say?" ”

"I said I'd meet Mayor Chen here." Deng Erming looked at Zhu Ziqing strangely, "Miss Ziqing, what's wrong with you, I see that you are absent-minded, you didn't rest well last night?" ”

"Probably, I'm a little tired." Zhu Ziqing nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's go in." ”

Deng Erming nodded, and did not notice Zhu Ziqing's strange appearance, when the two came to the hotel today, in order to entertain a friend in the shopping mall, the construction engineering company jointly established by the two will be inaugurated in a few days, Deng Erming and Zhu Ziqing are feasting today, is a real estate boss who is more influential in the business community in Nanzhou.

When the two walked to the elevator, Chen Xing had already gone upstairs, just in front of the two, Deng Erming and Zhu Ziqing both deliberately noticed how many floors Chen Xing had just sat on.

On the fifth floor, Chen Xing arrived at the box, He Li and Chu Rong were sitting and chatting, and the big bags and small bags beside them were full of two chairs, after Chen Xing came in, He Liden smiled and said, "Ouch, the leader is finally here, I can serve food, and I have been shopping all morning, but I am starved to death." ”

"Xiaoli, if you eat again, it will develop in my direction." Chu Rong said with a smile.

"Isn't it just right to develop in your direction, someone doesn't like plump and meaty, and they still think we are thin and rattle, and there is no sense of meat, I can eat more and grow more meat, so as not to be disliked." He Li glanced at Chen Xing with a smile.

Chen Xing smiled and shook his head, He Li is such a woman, she is open-mouthed, she can say whatever she wants, but after looking at He Li a few more times, He Li is still so slender, Chen Xing has the impression that He Li has always been very able to eat.

"He Li, I see that you don't seem to be able to eat fat no matter how much you eat." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"I've just been cheated of more than a million people, and I'm sad, can I be fat." He Li made a sad look.

When Chen Xing heard this, he pursed his lips, knowing that He Li was talking nonsense again, so he didn't pay much attention to it, looked at the time, and had to go back to the office after lunch.

Nanzhou Municipal Health Bureau family community, Zeng Gaoqiang, the former director of the Health Bureau who was promoted to the deputy mayor earlier, still lives here, the community was built ** years ago, it still looks very new, Zeng Gaoqiang is not short of houses, in addition to here, he has a house in other high-end communities in the city, but he has been living here, in addition to being used to living, but also because it is comfortable to live here, before as the director, Zeng Gaoqiang occupied two houses alone, and they were next to each other, and he opened up the house and redecorated the layout, A big house of two or three hundred square meters is no worse than those villas.

Going home at noon as usual, Zeng Gaoqiang is quite honest this month, at least on the issue of men and women, he was caught by Chen Xing before, Zeng Gaoqiang is now rarely in contact with several women outside, only occasionally.

Although the wife of the family didn't dare to care about him, Zeng Gaoqiang was clinging to the official hat on his head, and he was also afraid that his retired brother-in-law would be scolded by Chen Tongjin before, and Zeng Gaoqiang could be regarded as restrained now.

Humming a little tune, Zeng Gaoqiang has been in a good mood recently, after Deng Yi was transferred to Nanzhou, with the help of Chen Dafei and Deng Yi's son, he also gradually leaned on Deng Yi's big tree, although there was still a handle at hand that Chen Xing had mastered, but Zeng Gaoqiang secretly pondered that Chen Xing should not move him, at least he was now behaving in front of Chen Xing, and he did not exceed half a point.

"It's really rare to be back." Zeng Gaoqiang's daughter-in-law Yang Fang heard the sound of the door opening, and she had just finished frying the dishes and brought them to the table, looked up, and said lukewarmly.

"It's still the food cooked by my wife." Zeng Gaoqiang walked over with a smile, "In the future, I will go out less to socialize and come back to eat more at home." ”

"Someone talks like a fart, and I don't know if I can believe it." Yang Fang glanced at her husband with a bad face.

"Su zhì, wife, you said that you are also a medical master, and you can talk about farting at every turn, how indecent it sounds." Zeng Gaoqiang sat down without being annoyed, his wife Yang Fang is a doctor in the Women's and Children's Hospital, in fact, Yang Fang is not ugly at all, when she was first assigned to the City Children's Hospital when she was young, she was called one of the two golden flowers of the hospital with another very beautiful female doctor, and now although she is in her forties, she still has charm.

Zeng Gaoqiang will be a deputy section chief in the Health Bureau, just one of Yang Fang's many suitors, and later stood out and won the beauty, but the old husband and wife, no matter how beautiful the wife, is tired, plus Zeng Gaoqiang's official luck is prosperous, step by step, the official is getting bigger and bigger, the people's ** is getting stronger and stronger, the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags outside are fluttering.

Yang Fang didn't know what he was messing around outside, he had a divorce when he was the strictest, but he didn't get separated, Zeng Gaoqiang was in the officialdom, and the divorce had a certain impact on his future, Zeng Gaoqiang couldn't agree to the divorce, plus the husband and wife had been in a relationship for more than ten years at the time, and in the end, it didn't work, and now Yang Fang has an indifferent attitude towards Zeng Gaoqiang, and the two are still living together, but in fact, they don't care about each other.

"By the way, there is an event in the hospital this Saturday, and Dean Zhou asked me if I could invite you to participate." Yang Fang sat down with a bowl of rice by herself, and she didn't mean to serve rice to her husband, so she asked casually.

"Look, you're begging me for help, and you don't know how to help me serve a bowl of rice and please me." Zeng Gaoqiang rolled his eyes.

"Do you like to go or not, I just brought the words, and I didn't invite you to the event." Yang Fang looked indifferent.

"That's what I said, if I go, I'll give you a long face, isn't it, your husband is the deputy mayor, don't you have a lot of face in the hospital." Zeng Gaoqiang snorted.

"I'd rather he be an ordinary person, and it's better to live an ordinary life." Yang Fang's face was expressionless.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Zeng Gaoqiang stopped talking in time, knowing that his wife was full of complaints, Zeng Gaoqiang didn't want to be bored, maybe it was because he hadn't sat down to talk to his wife like this for a long time, Zeng Gaoqiang looked at his wife twice, and then found that his wife was still beautiful, although she was also old, but because she was a doctor, she was very good at maintenance, and she didn't have the old-fashioned style of an ordinary woman in her forties, and there were not many crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

"Haven't you seen the yellow-faced woman, and you don't go to dinner yet." Yang Fang scolded lightly.

"Wife, how long do you say we haven't lived as a husband and wife?" Zeng Gaoqiang grinned, without the appearance of a deputy mayor, pulled a chair and sat next to his wife, Zeng Gaoqiang smiled and stretched out his hand on his wife's waist, "It seems that women love beauty by nature, wife, you are forty or fifty years old, and you also like to dress yourself up beautifully all day long." ”

"What are you talking about, are you talking about my old woman?" Yang Fang glared and slapped her husband's hand away.

"I'm not saying that my wife is beautiful, so incomprehensible." Zeng Gaoqiang grinned, put his hand on it again unruly, and gently moved on Yang Fang's waist, "Wife, I'll come back early in the evening, why don't we get a candlelight dinner?" Take out a bottle of my treasured red wine, and let us two old husbands and wives come to have a romantic evening too? ”

"Go, who's romantic." Yang Fang's face was slightly red, as her husband said, the husband and wife don't know how long they haven't lived as husband and wife, not even the least intimacy, Yang Fang has forgotten the last time the two of them made love in what year and month, at this moment, her husband's sudden intimate action made Yang Fang very uncomfortable, and her body even had goosebumps.

"Ah, I'm blushing, and I'm still like a little girl." Zeng Gaoqiang saw his wife's blushing appearance, and his heart suddenly came alive, the house flowers were not as fragrant as wild flowers, but the house flowers that he hadn't touched for a long time suddenly became a little interesting, and Zeng Gaoqiang was also interested.

"Eat your food." Yang Fang stiffened her face, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and simply stopped eating.

Ah! Before Yang Fang could stand up, her body leaned to the side and was pulled into her arms by Zeng Gaoqiang.

"I said what are you doing?" Yang Fang said annoyedly.

"Tsk, it's not okay to be intimate with your wife." Zeng Gaoqiang pouted.

"You're still a cadre, like a hooligan, it's still daylight, are you like talking." Yang Fang snorted lightly, her face flushed, Zeng Gaoqiang didn't know how long she hadn't touched her, no matter how disgusted Yang Fang was in her heart, at this time she had to admit that her body's reaction was not under her control, a woman was thirty like a wolf and forty like a tiger, Yang Fang was not a stone girl.

The crisp knock on the door interrupted Zeng Gaoqiang's high interest at this time, his brows furrowed, and he scolded which bastard came to visit the door at this time, Zeng Gaoqiang reluctantly let go of Yang Fang, got up to open the door.

Outside the door, there were three completely unfamiliar faces, Zeng Gaoqiang opened the door, and was interrupted by a good thing, which would make a look of anger, "Who of you, it's okay to knock on the door, are you full of food?" ”

"From the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Vice Mayor Zeng, please come with us." One of them presented his ID.

With a 'click', Zeng Gaoqiang's hand hung down from the doorknob, and he looked at the three people in front of him in a daze, and the smile on his face stiffened.
