Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

When Chen Wangyang returned to Qingyun Hall, he saw a middle-aged man wearing an executive jacket and black-rimmed glasses at the door of Qingyun Hall, looking in through the frosted glass on the door.

When the waitress guarding the door saw Chen Wangyang coming, she quickly said to the middle-aged man anxiously:

"Sir, please stop looking around here, I will be fined!"

Then the waitress turned to Chen Wangyang and said with a worried look:

"Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. I reminded this gentleman several times, but he..."

The reason why these people no longer call Chen Wangyang "guye" is because Chen Wangyang asked Zhong Joey to specifically tell him. After all, the title "guye" sounded fine in ancient times, but it sounds a bit weird in modern times.

Chen Wangyang waved his hand and was about to speak when the middle-aged man turned around and shouted in surprise:

"Mayor Chen! I'm here to find you!"

Chen Wangyang took a closer look, oh, isn't this Gu Zheming, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau!

Haven't you already taken care of his affairs?It seems that his position as director has been transferred to a regular position, right?

Why would he come here to find me now?

Thinking of this, Chen Wangyang first smiled at the panicked waitress and said:

"It doesn't matter, you are here to find me!"

The waitress breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, nodded and stepped aside.

Chen Wangyang then turned to Gu Zheming and asked in confusion:

"Hello, Director Gu, why didn't you just call me if you wanted to see me? Instead, you came here and waited? Also, how did you know I was here?"

Gu Zheming rubbed his hands in embarrassment, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said:

"Chen Zhen...ah, no, I should call you County Magistrate Chen! Magistrate Chen, you have helped me a lot. You also helped me deal with my ex-wife and his difficult brother. You have been kind to me again. I have always wanted to find a chance to thank you, but you are really too busy, and I am too embarrassed to bother you. This time I finally found out that you were eating here today, so I came here uninvited with a shy face! "

With that said, Gu Zheming took out a small red brocade box from his arms and put it in front of Chen Wangyang with both hands:

"This is a little thought on my part. It's not respectful. I ask County Magistrate Chen to accept it!"

Chen Wangyang looked at the brocade box in Gu Zheming's hand, and his face suddenly sank:

"Gu Bureau, I helped you because you were relatively honest, but I didn't expect that you would actually do this now?"

Gu Zheming was startled, knowing that Chen Wangyang had misunderstood something, so he quickly opened the brocade box:

"County Magistrate Chen, you misunderstood. This is not an expensive gift. It is a concentric knot hand-knitted by my old mother. It means wishing you and Miss Zhong a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

Chen Wangyang looked down and saw an exquisite red concentric knot placed in the brocade box. His expression softened a lot, he reached out and took the brocade box, nodded and said:

"Since it is Auntie's wish, I will accept it!"

With that said, Chen Wangyang thought for a while and decided to give Gu Zheming a little help before leaving:

"How about Director Gu come with me to have something to eat and drink?"

Gu Zheming was pleasantly surprised when he heard this:

"Is this convenient?"

Chen Wangyang smiled slightly:

"They are all my family and friends, as well as some old leaders of the county committee and government. You all know them, so there is no inconvenience!"

When Gu Zheming heard that there were many leaders of county committees and governments inside, he hesitated for a moment. After a while, he shook his head and said:

"Forget it, County Magistrate Chen, I don't plan to work in Shan'an County anymore. It would be embarrassing to see these leaders, so I won't go in!"

Chen Wangyang frowned:

"Don't you want to continue working in Shan'an County? What's going on? Shouldn't you have become a regular employee?"

Gu Zheming smiled bitterly and said:

"Thanks to County Magistrate Chen for your previous help, the organization did talk to me, but I refused..."

Chen Wangyang was greatly puzzled:

"Rejected? Why?"

He remembered that Gu Zheming really wanted to remove the pronoun of the acting director, so why did he back down when the last step was taken?

Gu Zheming looked around and then whispered:

"County Magistrate Chen, could you please lend me a moment to speak?"

Chen Wangyang knew that Gu Zheming might have something that was not convenient to talk about here, so he nodded and said to the waitress beside him:

"Help me call your eldest lady to come out!"

The waitress nodded in agreement and quickly opened the door and entered the Qingyun Hall.

After a while, Joey Zhong came out. When she saw Gu Zheming, she smiled and said hello:

"Hello, Director Gu, why don't you come in and sit down?"

After Gu Zheming exchanged a few words with him, Zhong Joey then looked at Chen Wangyang:

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Chen Wangyang smiled and said softly:

"Don't you have an office here? Ask someone to open the door for me. I need to talk to you privately about something!"

While Zhong Joey took out his mobile phone to look for the number, he asked a little strangely:

"Didn't I bring the Hanging Garden down to discuss things with you?"

Chen Wangyang explained patiently:

"Brother is using it!"

Zhong Joey understood immediately and made the call:

"Xiao'er, please ask someone to open my office door. My husband wants to use it. By the way, send a pot of Dahongpao over there and charge it to my account!"

Jiang Xiao on the other end of the phone responded immediately:

"Okay, just ask Mr. Chen to go directly!"

After hanging up the phone, Joey Zhong smiled sweetly:

"Alright, hubby, you and Director Gu can go directly to Room 306 on the third floor~"

Chen Wangyang nodded and said with some embarrassment:

"Okay, I know Joey you don't like crowded places, but now I can only rely on you to greet me. Thank you for your hard work! Thank you!"

Zhong Joey rolled his eyes at him and said angrily:

"Let Director Gu listen, what are you talking about? Do we still need to be polite?"

Of course Gu Zheming didn't dare to answer the conversation, he just smiled coquettishly. He was still very aware of current affairs. He would eat the dog food when others told him. Interrupting in would be a bit overstepping...

When they arrived at Joey Zhong's office, there was already a tall tea lady wearing a moon-white cheongsam making tea for them.

Chen Wangyang said to the tea lady very politely:

"You don't have to be busy, we need to talk about something!"

Upon hearing this, the tea lady quickly stopped what she was doing, put down the tea wash and said with a smile:

"Then I'll wait outside the door. If you have any orders, Mr. Chen, just ring the bell on the table!"

Chen Wangyang nodded slightly:

"Got it, thank you!"

When the tea lady went out, she carefully closed the door of the office. Chen Wangyang first came to sit behind the tea table, and then made an invitation gesture to the seat opposite:

"Look out, sit down!"
