What's the matter? Chen Xing was overjoyed. Could it be that the other party had found his conscience?
I'm sorry for stepping on your foot. I'll treat you to a meal next time.
It's okay, it's okay. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Chen Xing waved his hand generously, but he was disappointed. How could this girl be so ignorant of the ways of the world? She didn't know that most people were just being polite when they rejected her at the beginning. She didn't know how to invite her more. He looked at the Jin Jiang Hotel, which was almost a kilometer away. It seemed like he had to drag his "crippled leg" to get there.
Chen Xing finally heaved a sigh of relief. If it was him who could walk as if he was flying, this distance of a kilometer would be nothing. It was equivalent to running two or three laps on the 400-meter track in the school field when he was in college. For a runner like him, this was a piece of cake. Today, the back of his foot was stepped on by someone with a sharp high heel. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. This short distance of a kilometer was like a long march. It was really a big crime.
Hey, Sage Chen, what happened to you? Were you raped last night? Chen Xinggang arrived at the entrance of the hotel and avoided the direct sunlight. He was prepared to stand and rest for a while before going upstairs. He thought that although the location of the gathering was on the fifth floor, the elevator in the hotel was very convenient, so he didn't have to suffer any more. He decided to rest first before going upstairs. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
Chen Xing was very familiar with this man's hoarse voice. He turned to look at the person and laughed, "Get lost."
The person was Chen Xing's college classmate, Huang Ming. Like Chen Xing, he was also from Hai City. It was Huang Ming who called Chen Xing and asked him to attend today's gathering. Otherwise, he would go to his house and rob him. That was why Chen Xing, a homebody, came out for the first time.
Sigh, I'm serious. If you weren't raped, why are you having trouble walking? Huang Ming was still wearing a cheeky smile on his face. He saw Chen Xing walking awkwardly towards the entrance of the hotel just after he parked his car. The two of them were very familiar with each other, so they had no qualms about joking around.
I think you did too much exercise on the bed last night. You're about to float when you walk. You have to be steady. Don't fall flat on your face if you step on something. You'd better be steady. Chen Xing did not want to be outdone and fought back. When they were in college, if they saw a girl walking a little unnaturally on the road, they would speculate mischievously whether she had been raped last night. Therefore, when Huang Ming said he was raped just now, it was almost the same as a girl being raped. Chen Xing was not usually a person who liked to tell such vulgar jokes, but when he met Huang Ming, he could not help but quarrel.
They walked into the hotel together, laughing and joking. They talked about the gathering later. Huang Ming jokingly chatted with Chen Xing, "You and Fei Ren entered the government at the same time. Look, Fei Ren is now a director of the Local Taxation Bureau with real power, while you are still a quiet deputy director. When will you be able to make a name for yourself and bring glory to your brother?"
Alas, the officialdom is difficult, even more difficult than going to heaven. Do you think I don't want to make progress? Unfortunately, I have the heart but not the strength. I can only waste my time in the same place. Chen Xing sighed. If he did not enter the officialdom, he would not know the difficulties of the officialdom. It was too difficult for a person like him, who had no connections, to make progress.
He was full of expectations and hope that he would be appreciated and promoted by his boss, but he was disappointed again and again. To be honest, Chen Xing was satisfied with the current situation. He was at least luckier than those who had been working as a staff member for their whole life. Although the deputy director did not have any real power, it was still the treatment of a deputy director. After being discouraged again and again, Chen Xing could only accept this situation helplessly.
"Lao Chen, don't be like this. I was just joking with you, but you are so depressed. You are not like the ambitious you used to be." Feeling Chen Xing's depression, Huang Ming hurriedly comforted him. "Didn't Fei Ren reincarnate into a good family and have a good father?"
