Chapter 039
Meng Jinxing worked vigorously and resolutely to solve the minor troubles of the new official's appointment, and then took some time to accompany Zhong Minxiu to Dujiang to report to Xia Minghan, and also visit his family members whom he had not seen for more than half a year.
Zhong Minxiu did not use the organization department's car, but asked Xu Yang to greet Meng Jinxing two days in advance and asked Meng Jinxing to pick her up.
Meng Jinxing felt that driving a Ford to Dujiang was too conspicuous, so he temporarily changed cars with He Qifeng and renovated He Qifeng's Poussin inside and out before going to pick up Zhong Minxiu.
Zhong Minxiu, who usually wears a black suit, changed into a casual outfit today, wearing a beige long windbreaker over a thin green turtleneck sweater, trousers of the same color, and off-white high heels. The whole person looks ten years younger.
Meng Jinxing took a closer look at the organization minister for the first time and found that she was fundamentally a beauty, but her work required her to look more mature, which weakened her natural beauty.
It is human nature to see beautiful eyes of the opposite sex light up, and Meng Jinxing is no exception. As soon as Zhong Minxiu got in the car and sat down in the passenger seat, she heard Meng Jinxing say: "Minister, when we get to Shencheng City, we will
Let’s go into town for a while.”
"Do you still have something to deal with?" Zhong Minxiu felt a little unhappy, feeling that Meng Jinxing would not arrange the time.
"Yes and no." Meng Jinxing smiled and started the car on the road.
Zhong Minxiu's carefully drawn eyebrows cast shadows, "What does it mean to be and not to be? If it's inconvenient for you, we won't go today."
"It's not inconvenient. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful minister. I want to go to Shanghai to buy you a bouquet of flowers. Flowers match beauty!" Meng Jinxing said seriously.
Zhong Minxiu was stunned at first, then her face turned red, and she spat softly: "Why haven't I noticed your slippery tongue before?"
"I didn't realize that Minister Yuzhuang is actually perfect!" Meng Jinxing chuckled, "It's a quick trip into the city. I promise it won't delay our schedule."
"Are you really going to buy it?" Zhong Minxiu thought Meng Jinxing was just talking, but she didn't expect that he was serious.
"Of course it's true. I never lie to women." Meng Jinxing said and grinned at her.
No one has ever told Meng Jinxing that when he smiles, his starry eyes are bottomless and glowing with a scorching light, as if they want to suck people in, and the arc drawn by his evenly thick lip lines,
There is always something between sincerity and playfulness that makes people get lost unconsciously.
Zhong Minxiu felt her heart beating wildly and her face became even hotter.
She was shocked by her own reaction. This was a boy so young that he could almost be her own son!
"Stop laughing and drive hard!" She said covertly and immediately turned her head towards the window, feeling a little happy and a little ashamed in her heart.
Meng Jinxing didn't pay attention to her reaction. While driving, he started asking her how many times she had been to Dujiang, where she had visited, what she liked to eat, what she didn't like to eat, and what interesting places and delicious food there were in Dujiang.
Things, etc., like a serious and responsible tour guide, suddenly brought Zhong Minxiu back to the topic, and suddenly she was full of expectations for this trip to Dujiang.
When the car passed through Shanghai, Meng Jinxing really drove off the highway, went around the city for a long time, found a flower shop next to the Shanghai Daily, and bought a large handful of white calla lilies for Zhong Minxiu.
, before getting back on the road.
Zhong Minxiu held the flowers and buried her face in them.
This is the first time in her life that she has received flowers from a man. Her deceased husband once sent her dried wild chrysanthemums from Laoshan. That is already a long time ago.
"Thank you, please do it!" She buried her face and whispered her thanks.
"It's just a bouquet of flowers, Minister Zhong, don't be polite." Meng Jinxing was completely unaware of the complicated emotions shown by the beautiful middle-aged minister at this moment.
After a long time, Zhong Minxiu slowly raised her head, took a deep breath out the window, turned back to Meng Jinxing and said: "From now on, in private situations, just call me eldest sister. Minister, minister, is too unfamiliar."
"Okay!" Meng Jinxing turned his head and smiled brightly at her, "Now I have another sister."
"By the way, your resume says you have a sister named...Meng Jinyan?"
"Yes. She is three years older than me, but she spends more time with me than my mother."
"Your mother is a surgeon, so of course she is very busy."
"Hey, eldest sister looked at my resume very carefully."
Zhong Minxiu glared at him with a smile and said, "I will pay careful attention to every new young person who comes."
"Hey, I thought I got special care." Meng Jinxing laughed happily.
Zhong Minxiu knew that he was joking, but she didn't bother to be serious with him. She said casually: "After arriving in Dujiang, you can take me to the shopping mall first and help me find a suitable gift to buy for Xia Chu."
"You still have to choose it yourself? Don't worry, I've prepared it for you."
Zhong Minxiu was surprised. Although Meng Jinxing was young, he had strong skills and talent.
She thought for a while and said, "Look at me, I forgot that you are familiar with Xia Chu. You should know his preferences."
Meng Jinxing looked back at her and said: "You can buy everything in Dujiang, even some foreign luxuries. Xia Chu has had many opportunities to go abroad in recent years, so there should be no shortage of them. On the contrary, we Sangyu's own treasures
, he can’t find them anywhere, and maybe he will come to Changfeng often for these treasures in the future.”
Zhong Minxiu understood that the gift Meng Jinxing prepared was not only a favor for her, but also an ambush for himself. More importantly, he wanted to lure Xia Minghan to Changfeng.
She unconsciously put her right hand on her cheek, tilted her face, and looked at Meng Jinxing at an angle of 45 degrees. She felt that she had spent too little thought on this young man some time ago. Given time, this would definitely be a big deal.
A rising star in officialdom.
This is the pure thinking of a woman. When she admires a man, no matter what her feelings are, all she sees in her eyes is the glorious side.
Zhong Minxiu completely abandoned her usual cautious attitude and did not use her usual officialdom thinking to consider Meng Jinxing's words and deeds. She readily accepted Meng Jinxing's arrangement, and from then on tied her career to the young township head.
together.
It was dinner time when he arrived in Dujiang. Meng Jinxing first went to Dujiang State Guesthouse to open a room for Zhong Minxiu and asked her to wash away the dust along the way. He first called home, booked a table, and then tried
Then I made a call to Xia Minghan's home.
The person who answered the phone was Xia Minghan's wife Zhang Zhihua. After questioning her carefully for a long time, she called Xia Minghan to listen.
Zhong Minxiu called Xia Minghan half a month ago and said that she would go to Dujiang to report to the leadership. Xia Minghan neither agreed nor objected, and just said that we would talk about it at that time.
As soon as Meng Jinxing said on the phone that he would accompany his boss to Dujiang to report on work, Xia Minghan felt confident and said in an official tone: "Then come to the office to report during the day tomorrow."
"Okay." Meng Jinxing agreed and immediately said, "However, Uncle Xia, I have been in Changfeng for more than half a year and have never had time to come back to see you. Communication there is not convenient, and I have no chance to greet you often. It's so fast.
It’s the end of the year, and I happened to bring back some local game products from Sangyu this time. If it’s convenient for you tonight, I’d like to visit you and my aunt at home first.”
Xia Minghan knew Meng Jinxing's purpose of meeting him, and based on his understanding of Xia Qingping's past behavior, he believed in his heart that Meng Jinxing would most likely come to the office to find him, so he put on all the airs when he came up.
But as soon as Meng Jinxing said these words, Xia Minghan realized that there was a difference between the Meng family and his son. Meng Jinxing was obviously more particular than Meng Qingping.
What happens after Meng Jinxing continues? Although Zhong Minxiu will find opportunities to report beyond the level from time to time, Xia Minghan is very cautious on the issue of men and women, and secondly, he does not want people to misunderstand how close he is to Meng Jinxing. Therefore, when dealing with Zhong Minxiu
He has always had a cold attitude when it comes to proactively reporting this matter, which makes Zhong Minxiu dare not say too much on the phone. This also leads to him only knowing that Meng Jinxing has been promoted very quickly recently, but he does not know any details about it.
Xia Minghan became a little interested in Meng Jinxing and agreed to visit Meng Jinxing, but made it clear that this was a private meeting between his uncle and nephew, and he should not bring irrelevant people.
Meng Jinxing originally wanted to take Zhong Minxiu to meet Xia Minghan, which could be regarded as creating an opportunity for her, but Xia Minghan had something to say first. He immediately realized Xia Minghan's cautious attitude towards Zhong Minxiu's visit and gave up the original idea.
When eating with Zhong Minxiu, Zhong Minxiu also asked about the door-to-door visit.
Meng Jinxing felt that there were so many cadres in the province who wanted to curry favor with Xia Minghan, and if all of them came to him like Zhong Minxiu and tried to get close to them directly, it would not be a joy but a worry for Xia Minghan.
From this perspective, Xia Minghan's caution is quite correct.
But this does not mean that Xia Minghan does not want Zhong Minxiu to visit now, or that he refuses Zhong Minxiu to move closer to him. On the contrary, it is unknown that he may be observing Zhong Minxiu through such a process.
It would definitely be unwise to directly tell Zhong Minxiu what Xia Minghan just said on the phone. It would not only embarrass Zhong Minxiu, but also create unnecessary conflicts.
After much thought, he said: "Sister, if you believe me, this time I will visit Uncle Xia for both of us in a private capacity. Tomorrow, you will go to the office alone to report to him. In this way, we will be able to work together, both in public and in private."
It’s not rude, do you think that’s okay?”
After Zhong Minxiu took a bath, she spent a lot of time getting dressed up, just because she wanted to visit Xia Minghan that night. Meng Jinxing's words were like a basin of cold water poured on her head, making her cold from head to toe, but it also made her sober.
few.
She realized that she had indeed acted a little too hastily.
Thinking of this, she took a large piece of chopsticks and put it into Meng Jinxing's bowl, and said sincerely: "Jinxing, my eldest sister has taken your thoughts to heart!"
