Shen Menglan was completely stunned, and she was also frightened.//High-speed update//.
She never imagined that on such a high-end occasion, such a fierce conflict would break out between Xu Bing, the dignified mayor of Jingjiang, and Hou Guanzhong, who always regarded himself as a successful person.
Something was wrong when the two came up to talk.
Hou Guanzhong was provocative, but Xu Bing uncharacteristically overreacted, and the situation was about to get out of hand.
Shen Menglan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "You two, Mr. Hou, Mayor Xu, please calm down, this way..."
Shen Menglan didn't know how to smooth things over, and the movement here had already attracted the attention of the people around her.
Soon, someone came over to say nice things, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
The staff of the Chucheng organizer were even more frightened and gathered around them one after another.
Chen Jing was chatting with Hong Liang. The Lido Hotel run by Hong Liang has now become a business card of Chucheng.
In recent years, the competition in Chucheng's hotel industry has been fierce, and international first-tier brand hotels have successively settled in Chucheng. Hilton, Ritz-Carlton, Oulang, etc. have entered Chujiang, which has had a great impact on the local hotel industry.
However, the Lido Hotel is constantly improving its brand in the competition. It must be said that Hong Liang is still very capable in management.
Hong Liang told Chen Jing that he wanted to expand his business to surrounding areas, and Jingjiang was his first favorite stop.
Of course, Chen Jing warmly welcomed Hong Liang's idea.
He and Hong Liang have known each other for a long time, and he knows this person very well. There is no doubt about Hong Liang's strength. Now that Jingjiang is attracting investment, it is natural for Jingjiang to have the Lido Hotel to settle in.
Just when the two were chatting happily.
There was a stir on Xu Bing's side.
This time, the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Government, Ax Valley, who came with Chen Jing and the others, panicked and hurriedly came to Chen Jing's side and said: "Secretary, there seems to be some dispute with the mayor!"
Chen Jing frowned slightly and said loudly and wisely: "Secretary, if you are busy in advance, I will visit you another day!"
Chen Jing nodded and walked over to Xu Bing.
When he got closer, he found that the atmosphere was a bit tense. Xu Bing's face was ugly, and Hou Guanzhong's face was even worse!
The two were facing each other not far apart, like two black-eyed chickens, and the scene seemed frozen.
People around him came closer, but no one dared to speak.
"What's going on?" A voice suddenly sounded, and both of them turned their heads at the same time. The people around them naturally dispersed, and Chen Jing slowly walked over.
When Xu Bing saw Chen Jing coming over, his expression softened a little and said, "It's nothing, just a little misunderstanding!"
Hou Guanzhong stared at Chen Jing, a green look appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to speak, but Hou Lin rushed out from the way, pulled Hou Guanzhong hard, and then came to Chen Jing and said:
"Secretary Chen, it's okay! My brother was joking with Mayor Xu just now! It's okay, it's okay..."
He said to the people around him: "Everyone, stop making such a fuss and disperse!"
The people around him dispersed one after another. Xu Bing turned around, gave Hou Guanzhong a fierce look, and walked away quickly.
Shen Menglan was embarrassed at the side and was about to pull away and escape quietly.
Chen Jing's eyes just looked at her. Shen Menglan was startled, her face changed rapidly, she chuckled and said: "Hello, Secretary Chen! Hello, Secretary Chen!"
Chen Jing's eyes turned cold and he looked at the Hou brothers again.
Hou Guanzhong's face was still ugly and arrogant, while Hou Lin was smiling beside him and said: "Secretary Chen, we were just talking about investment with Mr. Shen and the others! My brother has such a temper that he can speak with ease. I didn’t think carefully, so I had a bit of a misunderstanding..."
Halfway through his words, Hou Guanzhong pulled him away and said, "What's my temper? What's wrong with my temper? Have I embarrassed you?"
Hou Guanzhong was furious, and Hou Lin's face was even more embarrassed and ugly. He glanced at Chen Jing, then at his brother, and moved his lips to speak, but he couldn't.
Shen Menglan's heart almost jumped out of her mouth.
She has seen people who know how high the world is, but she has never seen someone like Hou Guanzhong who has such self-aggrandizement.
Who does he think he is? He only has a few small coins, and it is said that he also has a father who has reached a certain level of officialdom. With this so-called reliance, he can challenge Chen Jing on the ground of Chujiang River?
Is this kid going crazy after losing his mind?
Seeing that things were not going well, she hurriedly said: "Secretary Chen, Mr. Hou may be in a bad mood. You can come to the reception today because we have work to report to you. Can we borrow a place to talk?"
Chen Jing's face turned cold, and he snorted: "You'd better take care of yourself first! When did you learn to be a good person? Do you need to smooth things over here?"
Shen Menglan's expression changed and she pursed her lips.
I thought to myself that I was really a piece of shit, and that my good intentions were treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.
Are Chen Jing and the Hou brothers the same person? In this situation, does Chen Jing deserve to be on the same level as this guy?
Shen Menglan secretly resented it, but after getting into trouble, she could only prepare to run away.
Chen Jing took a deep look at Hou Guanzhong, and then glanced at Hou Lin. Hou Lin looked peaceful just now, but now there seemed to be a trace of anger on his face.
Chen Jing frowned and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Without saying a word, he just nodded lightly towards the Hou brothers.
As for the two Hou brothers, Hou Guan was holding back his breath. His outburst at Hou Lin just now was just the beginning. But strangely, when he faced Chen Jing directly, he felt a lump in his throat. I can't say what I want to say.
Chen Jing's eyes were very soft, but when Hou Guanzhong looked at him, he felt that the other person's eyes seemed like a sharp blade, which sent a chill down deep in his heart.
After being silent for about half a minute, Hou Guanzhong took a deep breath, winked at Hou Lin, and was about to turn around and leave.
"Get out of the way!" A cold voice sounded from behind him.
Hou Guanzhong became interested and quickly turned his head.
His whole body was frozen in place, and behind him stood a woman with great visual impact.
This woman is very beautiful, both in figure and face. She is also very cold, with a frosty mask and sharp eyes. Even though the two of them are almost one meter apart, Hou Guanzhong can feel the coldness transmitted from the other person. Chill.
Bitingly cold.
The most impactful thing is that the opponent is wearing a People's Liberation Army uniform, with two stripes and three stars on his shoulders, and the rank of colonel, which is not low.
Just when Hou Guanzhong was in a daze, the woman spoke again and said coldly: "I asked you to get out of the way, don't you understand?"
Hou Guanzhong understood now, and his face suddenly turned red. He was a man of honor, how could he be yelled at by a woman?
"Miss, you..." Halfway through his words, Hou Lin suddenly bumped into him from the side, grabbing Hou Guanzhong's hand involuntarily and not letting Hou Guanzhong continue to speak. He almost forced them both away.
The two missed some distance, Hou Guanzhong broke away from Hou Lin and said coldly: "Hou Lin, what are you doing?"
Hou Lin's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, don't you remember what happened to Chen Chaohua in Chubei? That's just..."
Hou Guanzhong was shocked, his mouth turned into an "O" shape, he turned his head and glanced at the woman in military uniform, bit his lip, and his vest was covered with cold sweat.
Shen Chaohua from Northern Chu is known as the most honorable person in Northern Chu and has a high reputation in the circle of young masters. His father is Shen Liuyun, the governor of Northern Chu.
But such a powerful and honorable man had his legs broken in the Chubei Hongtian Club. This incident caused a great sensation in Chubei.
Originally, everyone thought this matter would turn violent.
But later, this matter was completely suppressed. Neither the Shen family nor the upper class in Chubei mentioned it. Later, rumors gradually spread that Shen Chaohua's accident was because he had provoked the Military Commission's investigation team. A certain female officer.
This woman has a very deep background, and her elders are the real powerful people in the Military Commission.
And because of this incident, not only did Shen Chaohua suffer, but Governor Shen reportedly rushed to the capital to apologize to the military bosses. In the end, the incident was reduced to a minor matter.
And not long after this happened, an executive deputy governor named Qiu was parachuted into the capital. As a result, the local faction in northern Chu could no longer remain monolithic.
Could it be that this is the woman Shen Chaohua provoked?
Hou Guan was still frightened because he knew that Hou Lin had a broader vision than him in this regard.
This guy likes to gossip about the young men all day long, and he also likes to hang out with a bunch of dudes every day. Hou Lin said that he could tell the origin of this woman, and it was probably true.
Hou Guanzhong then thought, why did this woman suddenly appear here?
Who was she heading for just now? Was it Chen Jing?
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He really wanted to see how Chen Jing would handle this situation. Villains and women are difficult to raise. Offending a woman, especially a woman with a prominent background and great energy, would definitely be a huge battle. Disaster.
Frowning slightly, Chen Jing glanced at the woman in military uniform in front of him, thinking that he was dazzled.
Why did Qiu Ruohan appear here? What did she come to do?
Just as he was doubting, Qiu Ruohan had slowly approached him. Her eyes were like daggers, staring at Chen Jing, and said:
"Chen Jing, I want to talk to you!"
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Colonel Qiu, what are we talking about? I remember you told me last time that we don't talk about anything! In this case, what topics can we talk about that have a common language? ?"
Qiu Ruohan took a deep breath. It was obvious that she was trying hard to control her emotions.
Her eyes were fixed on Chen Jing, as if she wanted to swallow Chen Jing in one gulp. In her eyes, Chen Jing's smile at this time was so disgusting and angry!
Chen Jing, on the other hand, was even more confused, not knowing how he had provoked this stupid woman this time.
Looking at her murderous look, she didn't even know what the occasion was.
He smiled faintly and said: "Colonel Qiu, if you have any questions, let's talk about it after the reception. Also, your face could be a little better. You came to such a pleasant reception uninvited, and you targeted me with such murderous intent. , those who know my Chen Jing style will think that I am in trouble.
Those who don't know may still misunderstand what kind of debt I owe to women outside, what do you think?"
"You..." Qiu Ruohan's face turned even more ugly, but she calmed down immediately and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside!" (To be continued.
