Hu Fei waited for about twenty minutes before Chen Quan arrived.
"Sorry, when I was about to get off work, I was called over by the deputy secretary-general and was delayed for a while."
Chen Quan held Hu Fei's hand and shook it, "By the way, where is your car?"
"I asked the driver to leave."
Hu Fei chuckled, "I said you should buy a car, right? The deputy director of the Tangtang Supervision Office can't ride a bicycle to work every day, right?"
"I would like to buy it, but the problem is that my wife must agree."
Chen Quan laughed and said, "I can't beat you, the mayor, who is worth billions. We, a couple, only have such a small salary but still have enough money to go to school for our children, support the elderly, medical treatment, etc. We have a lot of money to spend.
It’s here.”
"You also know that the Inspection Office is not a lucrative unit. Let's go and take a taxi back."
"What, you don't want to be in the provincial government agency anymore?"
Hu Fei was stunned, raised his hand, and a taxi stopped.
"I have this idea, let's see if there are any suitable seats."
After getting in the car, Chen Quan told the driver where he was, and then sighed, "It's a hard time in the Provincial Party Committee compound now. I'm so busy every day, every time I take a break."
"Old Chen, your qualifications are sufficient, so it is reasonable for you to go on."
Hu Fei nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Quan, "But if you go to the grassroots level, what will happen to your sister-in-law and children?"
"I'm also worried about this matter. It would be great if I could go to Baisha City, so it's close to home."
Chen Quan sighed, "However, it is not easy to enter Baisha City."
It is indeed not easy to get into the Baisha City Government. There are so many provincial government cadres who don’t want to experience the feeling of having great power. Every year when the cadres are adjusted, people who run for office can go around half of Baisha City. There are so many seats.
Ah, Chen Quan doesn’t have a good relationship either, so it’s even more difficult.
"If you're not in Baisha, you can go to Xiangshui City. It's only an hour's journey from there to Baisha. The conditions are much better than ours in Wuling."
Hu Fei chuckled.
"Let's take a look again. There is no suitable seat. If you go down, you might not be able to get back up."
"Have you reported to Secretary Cao?"
Hu Fei nodded. Under the leadership of the provincial government, grassroots training was carried out. Those who did well continued to stay and fight hard, and there were not a few who became top leaders. However, most of them disappeared from the crowd.
However, no one in the officialdom wants to fight hard in his official career, seek to be heard by the princes, seek a wife and a shadow, and no one will admit that he is worse than others. Since others can do it, why can't I?
"Well, the Secretary-General expresses his understanding and support for my idea."
Chen Quan nodded, "However, I think it's a bit confusing. Many people here in the Provincial Party Committee Courtyard have this idea this year."
"Then we can only wait for the opportunity."
Hu Fei chuckled.
The taxi stopped.
Hu Fei followed Chen Quan into the house. His eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a girl full of youthful spirit playing with a little boy. The girl was very beautiful and had a good figure.
"Dad, dad is back."
The little boy rushed over and threw himself into Chen Quan's arms.
The girl also sweetly called Chen Quan brother-in-law.
"Afei, let me introduce to you. This is my sister-in-law named Liu Feier."
Chen Quan rubbed his son's little head and introduced, "Fei'er, this is my friend Hu Fei, the mayor of Wuling City Government."
Liu Fei'er's eyes lit up, "Wow, such a young mayor, Mayor Hu, hello, my name is Liu Fei'er."
"Liu Feier, hello, hello."
Hu Fei touched his nose. It was very helpful to be praised like this by a beautiful woman in front of her face.
"Okay, you can go to the kitchen and help your sister."
Chen Quan hurriedly dismissed Liu Fei'er, looked at Hu Fei's eyes, and coughed lightly, "Hey, don't take advantage of my sister-in-law."
"Old Chen, where are you thinking? I was thinking that your sister-in-law is so beautiful, your wife will definitely be good too."
Hu Fei chuckled and said, "By the way, which department of the railway bureau does she work in? Can she have contact with the leadership?"
"I work in an office, I don't know the details."
Chen Quan shook his head, "By the way, is that true?"
"Which thing?"
Hu Fei asked pretending to be confused. In fact, he also knew that Chen Quan would definitely ask about Guan Pingzhi's departure from the Chen family. This matter had already caused such a stir in the city. Chen Quan had naturally heard about it when he was in the Provincial Party Committee compound.
But I didn't ask until today. This guy's patience is getting better and better.
"Everyone is spreading rumors about your relationship with the governor now. Don't think I'm a fool."
Chen Quan patted his son on the head and said, "Son, go play in the yard. Don't go too far. I'll call you after dinner."
The little guy went happily.
"Yes, everything you heard is true."
Hu Fei sighed, "I don't know what the problem is, but since he has made a decision, we can only let him go."
"Something is wrong. Your family must have put a lot of effort into pushing him to the top, or else Wang Huan is the one."
Chen Quan shook his head, "Moreover, this matter has caused a stir in the city and everyone knows it. Is this a very glorious thing and worthy of such publicity?"
Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about it in this direction all this time. Could it be that this was really a rumor deliberately spread by Guan Pingzhi? The purpose was naturally to completely draw a clear line with the Chen family.
Originally, Hu Fei was still a little suspicious, but now Chen Quan's words seemed to clear away a layer of fog, making him immediately certain that Guan Pingzhi definitely knew something detrimental to the Chen family.
Therefore, Guan Pingzhi decisively and thoroughly drew a clear line with the Chen family.
"It seems that he is determined to draw a clear line with your family."
Chen Quan sighed, "But he is really a person who doesn't want to suffer. After being elected, he immediately drew a clear line."
"He has taken good care of me in the past few years. I just treat it as a favor."
Hu Fei chuckled.
"Brother-in-law, it's time to wash your hands and eat."
Liu Fei'er wore a floral apron and walked into the living room with a vegetable bowl in her hand. She sniffed and said, "Ah, the truth is, my sister's cooking is delicious. Just looking at it makes you appetizing."
"It's delicious, just eat more."
A beautiful young woman came in with a bowl of food.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I am Hu Fei. I have long heard Old Chen praise my sister-in-law for her beauty. Only when I met her today did I know why this guy refused to leave the provincial capital."
Hu Fei immediately nodded to the young woman. Chen Quan's wife was indeed beautiful. No wonder he was reluctant to stay too far away from home.
"Hello, Mayor Hu, I often hear Lao Chen mention your name."
"Hu Fei, my sister is very beautiful. Her name is Liu Fang and she works in the Municipal Education Bureau."
Liu Feier smiled sweetly.
"Well, you sisters are all beautiful."
Hu Fei chuckled, "By the way, can I ask you a question?"
"Tell me, it's an honor to be able to chat with the youngest mayor in the province."
Liu Fei'er chuckled.
"Can we in Wuling City apply for a few special tourist trains? It doesn't have to be too far away. We just need to add a few short-distance special trains within the city. Do you think it's feasible?"
"Mayor Hu, you may be mistaken. Our railway bureau is only responsible for the operation and daily maintenance of the lines. For such matters, you must apply to the relevant departments of the Ministry of Railways."
Liu Fei'er shook her head. Hu Fei was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that he still wanted to find Sun Yi.
