Chapter 179
The next day at work, Chen Xing went to the office for a while, saw that there was nothing important, called He Qi over and commanded, and was ready to leave the office, and later returned to Haicheng with Zhang Ningning, Chen Xing planned to discuss marriage with his parents, the Zhang family had already nodded, they could come to the door at any time to propose marriage, this kind of thing, of course, Chen Xing hopes to hurry up sooner rather than later.
As soon as he went downstairs, Chen Xing met Lu Ming who was going upstairs, and heard Chen Xing say that he wanted to go to Shanghai City, so Lu Ming also made a long story short, "Chen County, I caught Chen Quanqing last night, and I blocked it in Chen Tan's car, we set up a roadcard in Dawu Town to check the passing vehicles, but I didn't expect Chen Tan to personally drive Chen Quanqing away, and almost let Chen Quanqing slip away." β
"Chen Tan?" Chen Xing was slightly surprised, and then nodded, "It seems that something can really be dug up from Chen Quanqing's body, and it really made Jiang Feng predict it, oh, by the way, I mentioned the matter of the Public Security Bureau to Jiang Feng last night, and she said that she will give you public opinion support in the provincial newspaper, and you should pay attention to today's provincial party newspaper." β
"Yes, then I must take a look today, finally the media is willing to stand up and say justice for us." Lu Ming nodded with a smile, followed Chen Xing to the car, and said, "Then I won't delay Chen County's time, if there is any new development in Chen Quanqing's case, I will definitely report to you as soon as possible." β
Chen Xing nodded, waved his hand at Lu Ming, and then got into the car, and after meeting with Zhang Ningning, the car went to Haicheng, along the way, Chen Xing held Zhang Ningning's hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, a faint warmth lingered in the hearts of the two, last night the two slept together, although there was no real breakthrough in the last step, but for a woman like Zhang Ningning, who is willing to come to this step with Chen Xing, has undoubtedly regarded Chen Xing as the closest lover.
"How do you feel that the journey to Haicheng today is a lot longer." Chen Xing looked at the time from time to time, forty or fifty minutes from Ximen to Haicheng, Chen Xing had always felt that it was not very far, but today was the first time that he felt that the distance seemed to have suddenly become longer, Zhang Ningning smiled and shook his head, "It's not that the distance has become longer, it's that you're in a hurry." β
"That's right, who is not in a hurry for this kind of thing, I wish I could hurry up and marry you, the fairy daughter of the heavens, home, so as not to have many dreams at night." Chen Xing half-jokingly.
Along the way, the two laughed and laughed, the road was not lonely at all, when they returned to Haicheng, it was only about 10 o'clock in the morning, Chen Ping had a class this morning, I heard that Chen Xing was going to take Zhang Ningning back, and there was something important, Chen Ping immediately transferred the class with others, and waited at home, as for Zou Fang, because of Chen Xing's relationship, Zou Fang had a special status in the Forestry Bureau, and even Deng Fang, director of the Forestry Bureau, was polite to Zou Fang, not to mention others, Zou Fang left the unit halfway, and others also turned a blind eye, I don't care if she goes to work or not.
Zhang Ningning This is the second time to go to the door of the Chen family, Chen Ping and Zou Fang are very fond of this beautiful and very gentle girl, aside from Zhang Ningning's identity, Zhang Ningning's conditions are perfect in all aspects, Chen Ping and Zou Fang are more and more satisfied, the only drawback is that Zhang Ningning's family background is too prominent, this should be a great thing, which man's family does not want to get a girl with a beautiful and good family? But Zhang Ningning's family background is obviously too good, so that Chen Pingping and Zou Fang, two parents, have to worry about their sons, can such a noble family be able to climb high?
Zhang Ningning and Zhao Qing are different, this can be felt by Chen Ping and Zou Fang, his son Chen Xing's four-year college love is not earth-shattering, vigorous, but it is also deeply emotional, the son is studying in college at the door of the house, and has a girlfriend, the two naturally will not have not seen Zhao Qing, every time Zhao Qing comes to the Huang family, although she never mentions her family's illustrious family background, but there is a sense of arrogance in her bones, even she will talk and laugh with Chen Xing's parents, It's a good way to call uncles and aunts, but there is always a feeling of alienation.
How to say it, the family level of the two sides is different, Zhao Qing ostensibly does the etiquette that a junior should do very well, but in his heart he does not really accept and recognize Chen Xing's parents, this is only Chen Ping and Zou Fang can experience that subtle feeling, at first Chen Ping and Zou Fang did not understand why they had this feeling, and would ask Chen Xing in private about Zhao Qing's family, but the result was that they did not know anything, Chen Xing smiled and said that Zhao Qing always avoided answering this question, and would talk about it after graduation, Chen Xing also felt reasonable, anyway, the two were still studying at the time, so there was no need to care so much.
That is, when they graduated, the two were faced with the choice of work, and they had to consider whether they could stay together in the future, Zhao Qing said about his family situation at that time, and the final result was that all the spectators also understood that it was a tragedy, but Chen Ping and Zou Fang finally understood how the original feeling came about, Zhao Qing has a good family background and knows how to be polite, but the arrogance in her bones is obvious, although she is also well-behaved and clever when she comes into contact with the two old men, but she doesn't really accept it in her heart, Someone like Zhao Qing, only people at the same level as her will let her interact with an equal mentality, otherwise the condescending mentality in her heart is impossible to change.
So it is actually expected that Chen Xing and Zhao Qing did not get together in the end, the two sides are not people of the same level, even if Zhao Qing really likes Chen Xing in his heart, but in the end, under the difference in family background between the two parties and the opposition of his parents, Zhao Qing still did not choose to adhere to the relationship with Chen Xing, but obeyed the arrangement of his parents, and this result was actually doomed.
As for Zhang Ningning, is the other party arrogant? As the pearl of the Zhang family, Zhang Ningning's arrogance has long been integrated into the depths of his soul, and the Zhang family, as the most powerful family in the republic, is not known how many levels higher than Zhao Qing's small family limited to one place and one city, Zhang Ningning's arrogance is even better than Zhao Qing.
But the only difference between Zhang Ningning and Zhao Qing is that Zhang Ningning treats people sincerely, her arrogance is targeted, others treat her sincerely, she also treats her sincerely, her arrogance is only aimed at those who have no one in their eyes and are pretentious, those unbeatable red three generations in the capital who do not say that the little princess of the Zhang family is arrogant and domineering, and always has an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but Zhang Ningning in her bones is very peaceful, and will not look down on others in her heart, the Zhang family is powerful, but the old man Zhang has taught his younger generations not to be superior to others since he was a child. Although the children of the Zhang family are also flying outside, most of them are still relatively low-key, and Zhang Ningning's arrogant posture in front of the children of the powerful who are pursued by him is nothing more than a face of self-protection.
Chen Ping and Zou Fang felt different from Zhao Qing in Zhang Ningning, but the worries in their hearts were still there, if Zhang Ningning was a child of an ordinary family, the two would have been very happy, but the family background was so good that it was a mess, the previous Zhao Qing was good enough, compared with Zhang Ningning, it had to be 108,000 miles away, Chen Ping and Zou Fang were still afraid that the elders of the Zhang family would object, although the two old men also saw that Zhang Ningning did have a little meaning for his son, but in this era, There are still a lot of people who pay attention to the right people.
However, the worries of the two old men were obviously superfluous, and the next moment, when Chen Xing told the two of them that he wanted to go to the Zhang family to propose marriage, and said that the elders of the Zhang family had agreed, Chen Ping and Zou Fang were a little in a daze, looking at Zhang Ningning stunned and did not speak, Zhang Ningning's face was red when she saw a big girl, Chen Xing shouted a few times next to him, and the two came back to their senses, Zou Fang nodded again and again, "Our Chen family is not so particular about small families, as long as the Zhang family is convenient, we can marry Zhang Ningning at any time." β
As soon as Zou Fang's words came out, Zhang Ningning's face became more and more ruddy, Chen Ping patted his wife's hand on the side, and said with a smile, "You are in a hurry, you haven't gone to your in-laws' house to discuss, what are you doing here." β
"Dad, Mom, I mean to go to Jiangcheng today, and make a decision with Uncle Zhang, see which day, you can set a date." Chen Xing said and turned his head to look at Zhang Ningning, eager to marry the other party in the next few days.
"This ...... Is that okay? Chen Ping and Zou Fang glanced at each other, and their eyes finally fell on Zhang Ningning, it is naturally a good thing for them to come to the door as soon as possible, and the two old people are also eager to hurry up and decide the marriage, not to mention how good the Zhang family is, just say that Chen Xing is 30 years old this year, and the boss is not small, and it is time to start a family.
"If you go over, my dad will find time no matter how busy he is." Zhang Ningning nodded with a red face.
Zhang Ningning said this, Chen Ping and Zou Fang stood up without saying a word, Zou Fang smiled and said What are you waiting for, go to Jiangcheng now, so as not to be late, Chen Ping also nodded and echoed like a chicken pecking rice, Chen Xing's table is similar to his parents, Zhang Ningning wanted to laugh on the side and was embarrassed to laugh, but when he saw Chen Xing's family's table, he felt very happy in his heart.
Chen Pingping and Zou Fang are also people who say they will do it, since they said that they will go to Jiangcheng now, the two of them are not grinding at all, and they have to prepare something when they start, but the two of them will be stunned, the Zhang family is not an ordinary family, what should I prepare when I go to discuss marriage with others? I'm always embarrassed to go empty-handed.
"Uncle and aunt, you don't have to bring anything, my family doesn't lack anything, and I'm not happy to bring my father." Zhang Ningning said.
Chen Ping and Zou Fang hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, what kind of family is the Zhang family, I don't know how many people squeeze their heads all day long and hope to send some gifts in, no matter how expensive things are, people are not rare, don't take some gifts to make people laugh, then simply don't bring them.
The family took two cars, Chen Xing temporarily went to borrow a car, fortunately his father also had a driver's license, the family went to the provincial capital, Chen Xing also got off the car at the gate of the community and bought a copy of today's Jianghai Daily, I want to see how Jiang Feng, a big reporter, supported the county public security bureau in the provincial newspaper today.
Jiang Feng found Jiang Feng's report on the third page, entitled' On the two or three incidents of the prisoner's death in the public security bureau,' I have to say that for a senior media reporter like Jiang Feng, he is well versed in word games, and the full text does not mention the overwhelming criticism and questioning of the Ximen County Public Security Bureau in the past two days, but only discusses the doubts about the death of the prisoner on the basis of facts, and expresses concern about the reports of the media and newspapers that are now following the trend and blindly following the trend, and the article points out that the one-sided criticism of the media and newspapers in the past two days is not only not conducive to the public security bureau in solving the case, but will become a tool for some people with ulterior motives to confuse the public and achieve some ulterior motivesγ
Chen Xing roughly read the newspaper, and still admired Jiang Feng a little, people can mix in this line, they still have some real skills, not in vain, and this report in today's party newspaper is also in a conspicuous position on the important page, Jiang Feng is obviously also thoughtful, after today, it should be helpful to the Ximen County Bureau's disadvantageous situation in public opinion.
Zhang Ningning leaned over and looked at the newspaper with Chen Xing, and when Chen Xing turned to the first page, there was an important speech made by Governor Zhang Guohua on the deployment of economic work in the fourth quarter of this year at the executive meeting of the provincial government just held yesterday.
Chen Xing smiled and said to Zhang Ningning, "Your father looks really imposing." β
"When you reach his position, you will also have his momentum, a person's self-confidence, in fact, a large part of it comes from his success, even if my dad looks like a bad old man, but as long as he sits in the position of the governor, others have to fear him, afraid of him, his momentum is not so much from him personally, not to say that the power in his hands has influenced his momentum." Zhang Ningning glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, this sentence can be regarded as a knife to the point, those national leaders, if there is no their position and identity embellished with that dazzling halo, resting among all living beings, which one is not an ordinary old man?
Chen Xingshen nodded thoughtfully, he is far from Zhang Guohua's level, but what Zhang Ningning said he has not felt in himself, he is not a **, he was a small staff member of the Municipal Party Committee Political Research Office, if he hadn't stepped on shit luck, he wouldn't have this status today, what was it like to be in the Municipal Party Committee Political Research Office in the past, and what is it like to be a county magistrate now? People who know Chen Xing say that Chen Xing now has an awe-inspiring momentum, but Chen Xing can't help but want to laugh when he hears it, he is not Chen Xing now, he is not the same as before, the same person, the same face, there is no difference, the difference is that Chen Xing had no power before, and Chen Xing has power now.
"Your father's level is too high, I can only look up to him in my life, but I don't dare to expect to be able to go to that level." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, and said that provincial and ministerial-level cadres are born, and people without a deep background are counting on one step at a time and down-to-earth to that level, so wait for a dream.
"That's because you don't have confidence in yourself, how do you know that you won't be able to reach his level in the future?" Zhang Ningning shook his head disappreciatively, staring at Chen Xing with beautiful eyes and blinking.
Chen Xing couldn't help but be silent for a moment when he listened, his eyes were intertwined with Zhang Ningning, he could understand the meaning of Zhang Ningning's words, and became the son-in-law of the Zhang family, with the power and heritage of the Zhang family, who said that he would not be able to go to the provincial and ministerial level in the future? But Chen Xing obviously couldn't say this kind of thing clearly, so he could only smile.
When the car arrived in Jiangcheng, it was more than one o'clock at noon, Zhang Guohua is also a person who is used to taking a nap at noon, it just so happened that Chen Xing's family had not eaten lunch yet, so they found a restaurant to eat together, when it was almost two o'clock, Zhang Ningning took out his mobile phone and called his father's phone, the phone only rang and it was picked up over there, it was Yao Fei who answered it, and Yao Fei could be lazy when others called, Zhang Ningning called, Yao Fei answered faster than ever.
Zhang Ningning said that he wanted to say a few words to his father, Yao Fei hurriedly said wait a minute, when the phone was in Zhang Guohua's hand, Zhang Guohua asked what happened to the baby girl, Zhang Ningning said that Chen Xing's family is now in Jiangcheng, Zhang Guohua on the other end of the year, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and muttered softly, the female university is not staying.
Despite this, Zhang Guohua still arranged time for Zhang Ningning to take Chen Xing's family to the Jinhan Hotel, which was the hotel where Zhang Guohua designated to receive guests, and Zhang Guohua also instructed Yao Fei to arrange it in advance.
At half past 2, Zhang Guohua took the time to come, Chen Xing's family said they would come, and they didn't say it in advance, Zhang Guohua, the governor, could still come, Chen Xing's family was more or less standing in Zhang Ningning's light, of course, the two families will form a family in the future, and Zhang Guohua also treats Chen Xing's family specially.
Chen Ping and Zou Fang are a little restrained, I don't know how many times they have seen Zhang Guohua on TV, and they don't think this governor is so scary, but this will be a real face-to-face, Chen Ping and Zou Fang are so nervous that their palms are sweating.
If you really want to talk about it, in fact, it is not the first time that the two have seen Zhang Guohua, Chen Xing was injured and hospitalized when he was still working as a secretary for Zhou Mingfang, Zhang Guohua had visited the hospital, but that time he came and went in a hurry, the two were standing nervously on the side, and they couldn't even speak, and now it is not much better than that, when Zhang Guohua walked into the room, Chen Ping and Zou Fang hurriedly got up and stood, Zhang Guohua walked over and smiled and waved his hand to let the two sit down, and the two did not dare to really sit down.
"Uncle Zhang." Chen Xing also looked at Zhang Guohua respectfully.
"Sit down, you two, there is no governor here today, and we are just one of the thousands of ordinary parents in the world." Zhang Guohua smiled and nodded at Chen Ping and Zou Fang, he deliberately lowered his figure, just for fear that Chen Xing's parents would be nervous, but even if he didn't put on a show, his identity was still there, which was impossible to ignore.
Chen Ping and Zou Fang finally sat down, Zhang Guohua smiled and said that if they didn't do it, then he would have to stand and speak, the two hurriedly sat down, Chen Xing sat next to his parents, Zhang Ningning sat next to Zhang Guohua, and glanced at his daughter kindly, Zhang Guohua turned his head to Chen Ping and Zou Fang and smiled, "My daughter is older, I want to get married, we should be parents to raise our children with hard work, and in the end we all hope that our children will be happy, Ning Ning likes your family Chen Xing, I have no objection to this, my daughter, She doesn't let me call the shots, she decides that no one can look back, the old man in the family can only coax her, Chen Xing, this young man is very good, since it was Ning Ning's choice, then I support it. β
Zhang Guohua said this sentence in person, Chen Ping and Zou Fang both breathed a sigh of relief, this would be the real peace of mind, otherwise just listening to their son say that the people of the Zhang family agreed, neither of them dared to really believe it.
Zhang Guohua took the initiative to express his closeness, Chen Ping and Zou Fang gradually relaxed, the two families inevitably wanted to talk about marriage, this was originally the purpose of sitting together today, Chen Ping and Zou Fang opened their mouths to ask Zhang Guohua which day he thought was suitable, and said that the Huang family could do it at any time, Zhang Guohua glanced at his daughter and muttered, he didn't think about this problem before he came, he was such a daughter, but he hoped to marry Zhang Ningning in a beautiful way, but his identity was obviously not suitable for large-scale operation, What to do with the wedding has to be discussed, the date is preliminarily set, and it has to be approved by the old man in the family.
At this moment, the mobile phone in Chen Xing's pocket rang, Chen Xing's face stiffened, knowing that it was Zhang Guohua who he was going to see in the afternoon, and when he came in, he also wanted to set the mobile phone to vibrate, for fear that the mobile phone would suddenly ring when he spoke, which was disrespectful to Zhang Guohua.
"I'll answer the call when I come." Zhang Guohua smiled casually.
Chen Xing smiled awkwardly, picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and his brows couldn't help frowning, he was a private mobile phone, and his work mobile phone was in the secretary He Qi, and those who had his number were familiar people, who would call.
As soon as the phone was picked up, the unfamiliar tone on the other side was also fast-talking, and he identified himself straight to the point, and the investigation team from the city wanted to talk to Chen Xing about the report letter and understand some information.
When Chen Xing heard it, he was so angry in his heart, he could find it at any time, but at this time, Chen Xing was really disgusted by this report letter this time, originally he didn't care, Zhao Yiping wanted to check the report letter and he would check it hard, anyway, none of the above things were true, but the people of the investigation team were so angry that they called him to understand the situation, Chen Xing was so angry that he scolded Zhao Yiping, and replied in a not very good tone that he was in Jiangcheng, and he would take the initiative to find your investigation team when he went back, and then hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Zhang Guohua glanced at Chen Xing quietly, he still heard the three words of the investigation team just now.
"Uncle Zhang, it's nothing." Chen Xing smiled, but Zhang Ningning didn't let it go, and said, "Chen Xing, my dad asked you something, and you can tell you anything directly." β
"It's really nothing, someone wrote a report letter about me to the city, and the city sent an investigation team down to understand the situation, but it's all a fictitious thing, I wish they would investigate it more seriously, anyway, I'm not afraid of shadows." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Zhang Ningning nodded after hearing this, glanced at his father, Zhang Guohua smiled bitterly, he didn't understand what his daughter meant, and nodded Zhang Ningning, "You, you, it's really a woman's mistake." β
