Although there were not too many cars on the national highway, and the journey went smoothly, it took Chen Jin nearly three and a half hours, which was as if he arrived in Chuzhou before six o'clock.
"Rui Rui, what are you doing?" Chen Jin drove directly to the door of the family home in the Jinghu Economic Development Zone and dialed Huang Ruirui's number.
"Reading." Huang Ruirui's voice sounded very lazy, with an indescribable style. "The thesis defense is due in October, and now you have to prepare." She and Chen Jin talked on the phone basically once a day, and there was no surprise.
"Thesis defense? You're a graduate student!" It's the first time Chen Jin has heard of it.
"Of course, you want me to be a teaching assistant for a lifetime! I can evaluate the title of lecturer in advance after I get the master's degree." Huang Ruirui said.
"How can it be, I better you be a professor, and I have a professor's wife in the future, how glorious it is to say it!" Chen Jingjing said lavishly.
"Beautiful you, who said that I must marry you in the future." Huang Ruirui groaned on the phone. Although I said so in my mouth, there was an unspeakable sweetness in my heart.
"Why, aren't you busy with work today?" Since Chen Jin became the secretary of the Listing Committee, the phone conversations between the two have generally been at night.
"Boss Du has returned to Jiangzhou, and I am also liberated."
"Then are you coming to Chuzhou tomorrow?" Huang Ruirui said immediately. Last time we had a goodbye in Wujiacun, the two had disappeared for almost a month.
"Tomorrow..." Chen Jin heard Huang Ruirui's tone very urgent, deliberately prolonged the tone, and paused for a while: "I want to go back to Wujiacun. This time is when vegetables are shipped. I have been away for so long. Some don't worry."
"That's it! Okay, then go ahead." Huang Ruirui's voice sounded obviously disappointed.
"Do you miss me?" Chen Jin lowered his voice.
Huang Ruirui was a little disappointed at first, bit her lip, and rarely said emotionally: "I think you have any use? Are you busy?"
"You're angry? Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry. Can I invite you to dinner tonight?" Chen Jin said with a grin again.
"Invite me to eat?" Huang Ruirui was startled, and then immediately surprised: "Ah! You have already come to Chuzhou, you villain, you are a fool. Where are you now?"
"I just arrived in Chuzhou, right at the gate of your community, you come out."
"Okay! Wait, I'll come out right away."
After Huang Ruirui hung up the phone, she quickly changed to a newly bought dress. She usually had her face up to the sky, and she even put on some lip gloss, and picked up her bag and hurried downstairs.
"Rui Rui, we are going to have dinner soon, where are you going?" Li Xiu'e asked her daughter hurriedly coming down from the stairs, as if she was going out.
"Mom, I'm going out to eat. Dad, I'm sorry, I can't eat with you today." Huang Ruirui said while changing shoes, and at the same time said hello to the rare father who left work early and read the newspaper on the sofa.
"This girl is so up and running, who are you going to eat with?" Li Xiu'e looked at her daughter's back and shook her head.
"Hey, is it possible that her classmate Chen Jin is here again?" Li Xiu'e suddenly thought of something and said to Huang Zhiyuan worriedly.
"Chen is here?" Huang Zhiyuan immediately put down the newspaper in his hand, and said with some surprise: "My daughter came back in the evening and asked her if it was Chen who came in, please invite him to eat at home. This young man is not bad."
Based on Chen Jin's ideas, Huang Zhiyuan submitted a report on the concept of establishing the "Optical Valley" in the Jinghu Economic and Technological Development Zone to the Municipal Party Committee and the "Government", which immediately attracted the attention of the Municipal Party Committee and the "Government". It is said that Qin Zhengsui, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the municipal party committee, supported Huang Zhiyuan's vision report. For this reason, Huang Zhiyuan's impression of Chen Jin is very good. And now it is in the stage of argumentation for the establishment of "Optics Valley", Huang Zhiyuan still has some questions and would like to ask Chen Jin for advice.
"What? Do you want to invite him to eat at home? Lao Huang, what on earth do you think? You don't care about your daughter's lifelong affairs." Li Xiu'e said suddenly dissatisfied when she heard it.
"My daughter is older, and we parents should take care of some things." Huang Zhiyuan frowned. He knew that Li Xiu'e had always wanted to match his daughter with Zheng Xiaofei, the son of the Zheng family, especially when Zheng Zhifei was transferred to the deputy mayor of Chuzhou City and became his immediate boss, directly in charge of the Jinghu Economic and Technological Development Zone.
But Huang Zhiyuan is a proud man in his bones. He doesn't want to exchange his daughter's marriage for his political future. Just as he knew very well that Huang Ruirui had a pretty good relationship with Qin Beiyue, the daughter of Qin Zhengsui, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and municipal party committee, but he never thought of using this relationship to climb Qin Zhengsui's high branches.
"Old Huang, I know that Chen Jin is also pretty good. But after all, he is just a small section chief in Xinmei County below Shicheng, oh no, now it seems to be an assistant to the head of the town below, Rui Rui and him are really not suitable. "After living together for more than 20 years, Li Xiu'e knows Huang Zhiyuan very well. She knows her husband's thoughts and persuades her in a different way.
Huang Zhiyuan frowned and sighed, "I have a chance to talk to Rui Rui."
It is one thing that Huang Zhiyuan has a good impression of Chen Jin, but it is another thing to let Chen Jin be his son-in-law. He could also see that his daughter liked Chen Jin, but as Li Xiu'e said, Chen Jin was just an assistant to the mayor in a small remote mountainous area. How could he be worthy of his daughter? Huang Zhiyuan was even a little irritated by Chen Jin's ignorance. If he was transferred to the Jinghu Economic Development Zone and trained well, it shouldn't be difficult to put Chen Jin in the right position before he retired. A daughter who deserves her right now should be considered reasonable. Huang Zhiyuan feels it is necessary to have a good talk with his daughter.
Chen Jin and Huang Ruirui were sitting in a coffee restaurant at this time. The coffee, tea, western food, and business set menus that were born in Taiwan in the late 1990s have begun to land in major cities in the mainland. When Chen Jin came to Chuzhou last time, he happened to discover this very new cafe called Euro-style Coffee, which bloomed everywhere in his previous life. Today, Huang Ruirui was brought here specially. The soft lighting, the wonderful melody, and the "insert" a rose in the small vase on the table, are very emotional.
As a modern female "sex" intellectual, Huang Ruirui has a petty bourgeoisie and enjoys the atmosphere here. She takes a sip of red wine, looks at Chen Jin across the table, and asks with a smile: "You came to Chuzhou this time for office work. Right?"
"Where, I made a special trip to see you." As he said, Chen Jin gently grabbed Huang Ruirui's hand on the table and said softly: "I miss you."
"Greasy mouth and tongue. I have become the Secretary of the Listing Committee, and still so unstable." Huang Ruirui smiled and cursed, but her hand did not break free from Chen Jin's palm.
Chen Jin's heart became hot, and Huang Ruirui was a charming woman, especially in this light and atmosphere, a smile and a frown seemed particularly alluring. Chen Jin played with her soft little hand, and smiled: "Of course I am stable next to the secretary of the municipal party committee. Otherwise, Secretary Du would not choose me as his secretary. However, in front of you, I want to be as stable and stable as possible. Can't get up, Rui Rui..."
Just as Chen Jin wanted to lick his tongue, suddenly a voice came from behind: "Rui Rui."
Huang Ruirui raised her head, her face suddenly changed, and she quickly took her hand out of Chen Jin's hand, stood up and yelled softly: "Aunt Wang, Zheng... Xiao Fei brother."
Chen Jin was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a middle-aged "women" in luxurious clothes not far away looking at Huang Ruirui with a rather ugly look, while a young man next to her looked a little ugly. When he saw clearly that it was Chen Jin who turned his head, his face suddenly became more ugly.
When Chen Jin saw this young man, his heart suddenly became tense, but he still stood up confidently, smiled and said hello to the young man: "Ms. Zheng, it's such a coincidence."
Seeing the man sitting with Huang Ruirui actively greet his son, Wang Min was stunned. Zheng Xiaofei rolled his eyes coldly on Chen Jin's face twice, then barely squeezed an ugly smile on his face, and walked over: "Secretary Chen, hello. How do you know Rui Rui?" He said, no After Chen Jin answered, he said to Huang Ruirui: "Rui Rui, it's such a coincidence. Just now, my mother was still telling me that I would like to invite Uncle Huang and Aunt Li tomorrow. Our two families will get together."
In fact, Chen Jin had already learned from the usual telephone contact with Huang Ruirui that someone had been pursuing Huang Ruirui, and that this person was also a family friend with Huang Ruirui's family. Huang Ruirui never mentioned this person's name, but at this moment, seeing Zheng Xiaofei and the middle-aged woman who should be his mother's face look bad, Chen Jin finally knew that this person was originally Zheng Xiaofei. Moreover, Chen Jin also understood that Huang Ruirui's husband in the previous life was probably Zheng Xiaofei. Only in this way, he had never understood why Zheng Xiaofei had targeted him in all possible ways in his previous life, and the reason why he was expelled from Chuzhou soon became clear.
