Chen Xing followed behind Zhou Mingfang, He Ming also nodded at him with a slight smile, Chen Xing did not rush in front of He Ming, but smiled and waited for He Ming to walk in, before deliberately falling behind by half a footstep to enter. Chen Xing's move caused He Ming to tilt his head slightly and look at him more.

The people in the room had already stood up, and followed Zhou Mingfang with a little respect, Chen Xing only then did he see clearly who were in the room, in addition to He Ming, there was also Yuan Jiang, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization, and the last one was Li Baojin, Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee.

Chen Xing only felt a few lines of sight sweeping over him, Yuan Jiang and Li Baojin looked at their expressions somewhat similar to He Ming just now, Chen Xing faintly felt that he was brought here by Zhou Mingfang today, and he had already stepped into this circle with half a foot.

"Secretary Zhou, is it still the same old rule today?" Li Baojin, secretary general of the municipal party committee, said with a smile.

"Yes, it's the same old rules." Zhou Mingfang nodded, with a faint smile on his face, "Yuanjiang, you do it for me, He Ming's card skills are not good, the last time he was my hand, he actually played cards 'chaotically', and played nonsense." ”

"Secretary Zhou, your card skills are first-class, and I'm not even a third-rate." He Ming smiled and said.

Chen Xing had been standing on the side, and he didn't understand what a few people were saying at first, but when he saw that there was already a messy set of cards on the table in the middle of the sofa, he realized that the four of them were going to play cards together.

"Chen Xing, can you play bridge, my position is for you to play." Li Baojin turned his head abruptly and looked at Chen Xing with a smile.

"Secretary-General Li, I still watch you play, learn more, this bridge is the first time I have come into contact with it, I don't even understand the rules, if I go down later, not a game, Secretary Zhou will get me up." Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand, a little flattered by Li Baojin's kindness. Urban tycoon 44

"Okay, Chen Xing won't fight, then it's still the four of us." Zhou Mingfang seemed to be quite interested in this, waved his hand at a few people, and sat down first.

Zhou Mingfang partnered with Secretary-General Li Baojin, Organization Minister Yuan Jiang and Finance Bureau Director He Ming, and the four of them formed a deck of cards.

Standing next to silently watching a few people play cards, Chen Xing from time to time to play to a few people to serve tea and pour water, for bridge, Chen Xing is ignorant, today is the first time to see someone play this kind of cards that are not popular among the general public.

"Chen Xing can't play bridge, he has to learn more." The first one is Zhou Mingfang sitting in the village, and during the interval, Li Baojin raised his head and smiled at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing smiled and nodded yes, and he was very interested in Zhou Mingfang in this bridge, and he also had to put some effort into thinking about how to play this bridge.

"Bridge is a very competitive game, it is easy to learn the rules, but it is not so simple to know how to play well." Zhou Mingfang said lightly, "The fun of playing bridge lies in less luck and more wisdom to win." ”

"Yes, what Secretary Zhou said is very true, it can't stand by luck." Li Baojin smiled and catered to Zhou Mingfang, and said with a casual smile, "Some of our leading cadres nowadays, but they lack this, and they want to rely more on luck than more brains, those people, they should really let them learn bridge, in my opinion, bridge is known in the world as an elegant, civilized, competitive "sex" game, this should be promoted. ”

Chen Xing heard it, Zhou Mingfang's seemingly unintentional sentence just now actually meant something, and Li Baojin's response was also a "projection", thinking of the various rumors that have been circulating in the city recently and even the high-profile actions of Mayor Zhao Yiping, Chen Xing knew a little in his heart, and it was obvious who some leading cadres who wanted to rely on luck in Li Baojin's mouth were referring to.

Xing Tiande was investigated, but also because he had previously served as Zhou Mingfang's secretary and attracted the attention of the provincial leaders, I believe that not only in the province, but also too many people in Haicheng City are paying attention to this case, and those who were originally dissatisfied with Zhou Mingfang are even more likely to have the idea of hoping that Zhou Mingfang can be affected by this case with a fluke mentality, Zhao Yiping, even if she just came to Haicheng to take office, I am afraid she has the ambition to squeeze out Zhou Mingfang.

Judging from Zhao Yiping's appearance that has been so active in the past few days, Chen Xing can't help but sigh that this is a woman with extremely high power, who has just arrived, and has already saved the idea of challenging Zhou Mingfang's authority.

"If Zhou Mingfang was really transferred away because of the influence of Xing Tiande's case, but Zhao Yiping had just become the mayor of Shanghai, I am afraid that the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee will not be his turn, Zhao Yiping should want to take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation, Zhou Mingfang's authority in Haicheng is too heavy, Zhao Yiping, a person with great power and ambition, will not be willing to be a foil, Xing Tiande's case is bound to be considered by Zhao Yiping as an opportunity to weaken Zhou Mingfang, with Zhao Yiping's ambition, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity." Chen Xing thought silently in his heart, Li Baojin had something to say just now, insinuating that Zhao Yiping was trying to rely on luck, and now Xing Tiande's case has not yet been decided, but he doesn't know whether Zhou Mingfang will really be affected, whether Zhao Yiping will take this opportunity to establish his authority, or Zhou Mingfang will still maintain his transcendent status in Haicheng, but it is difficult to say now.

"I don't know if Xing Tiande has ever stood aside to watch such a game like he did tonight in the past?" Chen Xing suddenly thought of the sentence that was now in doubt

Tiande, the former first secretary, was still like that a few days ago.

"Today is proud, tomorrow may be frustrated, you must not be too high-profile, Xing Tiande is a mirror for me." Chen Xing secretly admonished himself. Urban tycoon 44

It was nine o'clock in the evening when Chen Xing returned home, and he watched Zhou Mingfang and others play cards for nearly two hours, which was not without gain for Chen Xing, and Chen Xing had a further understanding of Zhou Mingfang's personal circle in Haicheng, and even Zhou Mingfang's temperament and personal preferences, which were not usually deeply exposed to at work.

Mayor Zhao Yiping has been dancing so happily these days, Chen Xing can see that this is Zhou Mingfang's intention, Zhou Mingfang's deliberate low-key is not because of Xing Tiande's investigation, Chen Xing can feel the confidence and pride in Zhou Mingfang's heart as always, Xing Tiande's case can only be said to be Zhou Mingfang's move to push the boat, which is Zhou Mingfang's move to test people's hearts.

Zhou Mingfang didn't make any moves now, and watched Mayor Zhao Yiping's increasingly high-profile expression coldly, just wanting to let those who were flattering on the surface, but really opposed him in their hearts, jump out a few more, Chen Xing guessed in his heart that Zhou Mingfang was afraid that Zhou Mingfang would make some personnel adjustments in the near future, and the results of those who jumped out with Zhao Yiping now would be worrying.

When he opened the door and went in, Chen Xing couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw who was sitting on the sofa, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, it was Zhong Ling, a middle school teacher whose parents had been trying to match him, and the other party would take the initiative to come to him, which was really unexpected to him.

"Chen Xing, you're back, Zhong Ling has been here for a while, if you're late, you won't be able to see anyone."

"There's no way, it's not good to follow the leader, the leader has something to call, so we can't leave." Chen Xing smiled and nodded, and glanced at his mother a little strangely, seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with his mother's feelings, Chen Xing did not notice that his mother had something to say at this time.

"I see you're busy." Zhong Ling turned his head to look at Chen Xing and smiled.

"I'm busy, and I don't know what I've been busy with all day." Chen Xing smiled and sat down opposite Zhong Ling.

"You young people talk first, I'll go to the kitchen and wash the dishes and chopsticks tonight." Zou Fang got up and said.

"I'll also go to the study to read the books." Chen Pingping also stood up.

The two elders seemed to cooperate tacitly and left together, but only Chen Xing and Zhong Ling were left in the living room.

"In the past, Teacher Huang and Aunt Zou often lived in the school, and I could often see them walking on the playground, but recently they have been watching

They rarely live in schools. Zhong Ling said as he found the topic.

"Yes, maybe I'm busier than I used to be at work, and they're afraid that I won't have anyone to take care of, so they often come back to live." Chen Xing smiled and nodded, "Teacher Zhong also lives in the dormitory of the school, right?" ”

"Yes, my hometown is in the countryside, and it's not convenient to run back and forth every day, so I just live in school." Zhong Ling nodded lightly, "I heard Teacher Chen say that you were hospitalized a few days ago, how is it, now your body is recovering." ”

"It's been a good recovery, and it's not a serious illness."

"Teacher Chen didn't tell me that you were hospitalized, otherwise I should have gone to the hospital to see you."

"I asked my parents not to tell anyone else, there were too many colleagues who came to the hospital to see me, and the whole ward didn't look like a ward, but like a hotel, so I told my parents to stop making noise, and besides, this is not a serious illness, so everyone knows what to do."

"That shows that there are many people who care about you, I heard Mr. Chen say, you are now the secretary of the municipal party committee, and there are naturally many people vying for you, but it is no wonder that so many people rush to visit." Zhong Ling chuckled.

"I'm afraid they don't really care about me, they care about something else." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.

The two kept looking for topics to chat, at home, Chen Xing felt that the space was not very free, and Zhong Ling on the other side also made him feel that he had hidden words in his heart and didn't say anything, thinking that this was probably because the two of them met for the second time, and Chen Xing didn't think much about it.

"Why don't you go out for a walk?" Zhong Lingtu said.

"Okay, it's still early at nine o'clock in the summer, so it's not bad to go out for a walk." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.

Chen Xing said hello to his mother, and went out with Zhong Ling, and when he walked downstairs with Zhong Ling, Chen Xing didn't notice that his parents were standing by the window of the living room and looking down.

"I didn't expect Zhong Ling, this kid to look delicate and weak, but he has such a big ideal in his heart." Zou Fang stared at Zhong Ling's back, Zhong Ling, who was nearly one meter six or five tall, stood but complemented Chen Xing.

"I always thought that Zhong Ling, the kid and Chen Xing, were a very good match, and I wanted to match Chen Xing and her good things, but I didn't expect it to be this result in the end." Zou Fang shook her head and sighed, in her opinion, Zhong Ling's character and appearance are good in all aspects, and the profession of teacher is relatively stable, if her son can marry such a woman, although he will not be rich and noble in the future, at least he can live a harmonious and beautiful life, and he will not have to worry about food and clothing
