Yang Chen hated this kind of ** who didn't understand trivial matters. They bumped into each other accidentally. It was difficult to decide who was right and who was wrong and who should apologize. However, this guy blamed all the fault on Yang Chen when he opened his mouth.
Damn it involves quality, Yang Chen half-smiled but frowned at this guy.
"What are you looking at? If you take the time to say sorry, nothing will happen." The middle-aged man seemed to be scolding his subordinates, arrogantly.
"Why am I apologizing?" Yang Chen asked with a sneer.
"Because you didn't look at the road and bumped into me." The middle-aged man said confidently.
"You touched me too, why didn't you apologize to me?" Yang Chen asked casually and to the point.
The middle-aged man was speechless, and then angrily revealed his identity, "I am a cadre studying here!"
Yang Chen smiled playfully: "Cadres have to be reasonable and can't behave like street shrews, don't you think so? To be honest, the national leaders on TV are really not as awesome as you."
The middle-aged man's face was livid, and he still wanted to say something, but Wang Xiaofei walked over quickly and asked in surprise: "Yang Zi, County Magistrate Liu, what are you two doing?"
"Do you know this guy?"
"Mayor Wang, your friend?"
Yang Chen, the middle-aged man asked in unison. Wang Xiaofei nodded awkwardly and said to the middle-aged man named Liu: "This is my good buddy, Yang Zi."
"Oh, Mayor Wang's good friend, I won't say more, but...you are young and energetic, and you will suffer sooner or later." County Magistrate Liu glanced at Yang Chen in an official tone.
Yang Chen laughed it off. He had Xiao Fei's reputation and was a fellow from Ningxi, so he was too lazy to be serious. Besides, this animal was already past the immature stage of getting angry over trivial matters.
"Mayor Wang, I'm going to go see a relative first. When Governor Qin takes care of us tonight, you and I can have a few drinks." County Magistrate Liu said proudly, waving goodbye to Wang Xiaofei without looking at him.
Even if Yang Chen glanced half an eye, it was obvious that he didn't take Yang Chen seriously.
Yang Chen doesn't care. It's best to be ignored, which will save you the futility and resignation.
"Goodbye, let's walk slowly." Wang Xiaofei smiled sincerely, and even Yang Chen had a hard time distinguishing the truth from the lies. He secretly praised his good brother for his rapid progress.
When County Magistrate Liu walked away, Wang Xiaofei couldn't help laughing after asking Yang Chen about the cause and effect, and said: "This is a common problem among many county and city-level cadres, and I have to take a warning."
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Learn from each other's strengths, you have always done well."
Wang Xiaofei pulled out a branch of the soft jade stream and handed it to Yang Chen, saying: "Only by taking advantage of others and making up for your own shortcomings can you make progress. If you focus on the shortcomings of others, you will hardly make progress in your life."
"Have you been studying philosophy lately?" Yang Chen asked teasingly.
"I'm just blind..." Wang Xiaofei smiled horrifiedly. In terms of how to deal with the world, Yang Zi was much more advanced than him. If he continued to talk about it, it would be like trying to change the topic and talk about the current situation of a few old classmates.
As night fell, the city of Beijing was brightly lit. Yang Chen drove Wang Xiaofei up Chang'an Street and passed by Xinhua Gate in Zhongnanhai. Wang Xiaofei stood in awe.
The symbol of the highest power of the Republic.
Do you have the chance to step into this place in your life?
The question that suddenly came to mind made Wang Xiaofei feel uneasy.
Yang Chen glanced at his good brother who was in a daze in the passenger seat, and said with profound meaning: "Your hard work will pay off, everything depends on man-made efforts, Xiaofei, my brother is optimistic about you."
"It's too far away..." Wang Xiaofei smiled bitterly.
Yang Chen understands that with Fa Xiao, who has been together for more than ten years, the so-called "too far away"... is definitely not pessimism or lack of confidence, but yearning. As long as yearning is longing, ambition will breed.
How ambitious a person is and how hard he works.
For example, the current person has an extraordinary family background, which allowed him to take root in the countryside when he was young. He already has the world in mind. After reaching the top, a series of policy policies that benefit the country and the people were probably brewed in his heart many years ago. Otherwise, he would not have the momentum he has now.
.
"Being far away does not mean that it is out of reach." Yang Chen revealed what Wang Xiaofei was thinking.
"No one can escape your piercing eyes." Wang Xiaofei sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Chen smiled and said nothing, driving past **, intending to find a place to sit. Unfortunately, Wang Xiaofei answered a phone call, and the dinner originally scheduled for 8:30 was moved to 7:30.
"Yang Zi, hurry up and send me to the Donglaishun Shuangjing branch. I can't fall behind Governor Qin." Wang Xiaofei said, looking at the watch solemnly. It was a quarter past seven, and there were only fifteen minutes left. Governor Qin was on time.
He is used to hearing about things, and once he is late, the first impression he leaves on Governor Qin will definitely not be that good.
"Shuangjing is on the East Third Ring Road, not far from here. There is no traffic jam today. We will kill you in ten minutes. Governor Qin...Which Governor Qin?" Yang Chen hasn't returned to Xijing for a while, and he doesn't have a last name in his memory.
Governor of Qin.
Wang Xiaofei said: "Qin Changming, Governor Qin, came to Beijing for a meeting, and we happened to catch up with him."
Yang Chen suddenly realized it and laughed at himself, laughing at how he had forgotten his old acquaintance. The former secretary of the municipal party committee of Xijing (a sub-provincial city) and deputy secretary of the provincial party committee was promoted to governor, which was in line with tradition.
"I will accompany you to the banquet and meet old friends by the way." Yang Chen spoke easily.
"Okay..." Wang Xiaofei smiled and nodded. He had long heard how good Yang Zi was in Xijing and how fierce he was in Beijing. Now that he finally had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be excited.
Governor.
Heaven in the eyes of county-level cadres.
How did Yang Zi treat such "officials of the feudal frontier"?
Wang Xiaofei was thinking a lot, and he didn't come back to his senses until the car arrived at the door of the hotel.
Donglaishun is a time-honored Chinese brand, but it is not the top hot pot restaurant in Beijing. The price is quite affordable. The average per capita cost is fifty to one hundred yuan. It is only over one hundred yuan for a good meal. A few years ago, provincial and ministerial level officials came to eat here.
, the status has dropped, but now, the trend has changed drastically.
Yang Chen parked the car and walked side by side into the bustling Donglaishun with Wang Xiaofei. The door welcomed them and led them into a private room. There were ** people sitting at the large round table in the private room. Wang Xiaofei's "classmates" were all here, including Liu.
County magistrate.
County Magistrate Liu saw Wang Xiaofei bringing Yang Chen to the banquet. He was stunned for a moment and then became happy. He thought that this rising star in Xinfeng officialdom did not know the rules.
The other people who didn't know Yang Chen were a little confused.
"My friend, Yang Chen." Wang Xiaofei introduced Yang Chen to everyone. Except for one person who frowned and thought after hearing Yang Chen's name, the others became more and more confused.
County Magistrate Liu suppressed his laughter, lowered his head to drink tea, and sat back for a while to watch the show. The governor's dinner party was not a gathering of friends, so he couldn't bring anyone to it casually.
Yang Chen ignored everyone's expressions and sat down leisurely, drinking tea and smoking calmly. Wang Xiaofei sat next to him. They were not very familiar with each other, so the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Half past seven.
The private room door was pushed open again.
Four middle-aged men walked in, led by Qin Changming.
Except for Yang Chen, the others hurriedly got up to greet him, including Wang Xiaofei. Even though they were the most powerful cadres at the division level, most of them had never been in such close contact with the governor of a province. They were excited, excited, and in awe, beyond words.
Qin Changming smiled and shook hands with everyone who came around. Finally, his eyes moved to Yang Chen, who had his back turned to him, and frowned slightly.
