At lunch time, Chen Ping drove to the provincial party committee guesthouse at the foot of Zijin Mountain. After Chen Ping parked the car, he asked the waiter to come to a private room door. Chen Ping knocked on the door and went in.

When Chen Ping entered, there was already someone waiting in the private room, and there was only one person. After Chen Ping entered, he said hello to him: "Hello Governor Zhang."

The person waiting for Chen Ping inside was Zhang Jinchi, the governor of Jiangnan Province. After seeing his situation clearly, he called Xiao Hongkun and knew that the real plan to defeat him was Chen Ping, the deputy mayor of a county-level city, so he asked to see his young opponent. Xiao Hongkun agreed to him after soliciting Chen Ping's opinions.

Originally, Chen Ping received a call from Ye Lingzhi last night and discussed countermeasures with Xiao Shufei, and then prepared to go back to Luzhuang City to arrange the arrangements. However, Chen Ping later remembered Governor Zhang, and Chen Ping decided to come to see him before he left Linjiang.

Of course, Chen Ping saw that Zhang Jinchi had no intention of mocking him, but he was not interested in squeezing him away after he had already seen him. Now he still wanted to squeeze him out a few words to show his superiority. This was not only meaningless, but also made the other party look down on him. Chen Ping did not mean to come to Zhang Jinchi to burn a cold stove. How could he say that he had lost his official position? Now he still hoped that a former governor would follow him in a few words. That was a little bit outrageous. Chen Ping did not think he could have the aura of domineering power.

In fact, Chen Ping's purpose in meeting Zhang Jinchi was very simple. He just wanted to have a meal with Zhang Jinchi and experience the way a governor treats people. After all, Chen Ping understood that if a person wants to develop in a higher level, he must first contact these higher-level people. This meeting with Zhang Jinchi is undoubtedly such a rare opportunity.

You should know that it is not easy for a small department-level cadre to meet the governor, let alone sit down to have a meal and chat with the governor. Even when he was in Luzhuang, Xiao Shufei's father Xiao Hongkun just met Chen Ping in a hurry. Then there is still Xiao Shufei's relationship, so you can imagine how big the gap between him and provincial and ministerial officials is.

If it were someone else, they might think that since they beat Zhang Jinchi, they would prove that they were better than Zhang Jinchi, but Chen Ping did not think so.

In Chen Ping's opinion, no matter what happened, the fact that Zhang Jinchi was the governor will not change. His experience of climbing from a section-level official to a governor will not change. His understanding and experience of the officialdom, his experience and demeanor, and his views on things will never change. Chen Ping understands that these are all things he lacks.

This is why as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, and you will never suffer any loss by listening to the old man’s words and deeds.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping did not make any extra moves when he entered the door, but treated Zhang Jinchi very respectfully as usual.

Zhang Jinchi also said hello to Chen Ping, and then he looked up and down at Chen Ping and asked, "I heard that although Mayor Chen, you are young, you have seen many senior officials. It seems that you have good psychological qualities?"

Chen Ping knew that Zhang Jinchi was doubting his tone of being neither humble nor arrogant, so Chen Ping said: "Governor Zhang is too honored. I am indeed lucky to meet Secretary Xiao and some other leaders. As for psychological quality, it may be that I have never seen any world and don't know what attention should be paid to the leaders. So I am like this no matter what leader I face. If I do something wrong, please forgive me."

Zhang Jinchi knew that at this time, Chen Ping had no need to fool him, so he knew that Chen Ping was really so unlucky and not acting in front of him.

Zhang Jinchi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but Mayor Chen, I'm no longer a governor, so you don't have to call me governor anymore."

Chen Pingze smiled and said, "Did you ask me to call you Chairman Zhang? Then I don't feel so kind to call you Governor Zhang."

"Since you think it's still friendly to call me the governor, then you can just shout whatever you want," Zhang Jinchi said, then waved to Chen Ping, signaling him to sit down and said, "Chen Ping, please sit first. Although you still call me the governor, I am actually not a leader now, and you don't need to be so restrained."

Chen Ping did not say anything more nonsense about Governor Zhang, you are not in power, but you are still there, because first of all, this is that Chen Ping does not need to flatter him, and secondly, it will also arouse Zhang Jinchi's own sadness, so Chen Ping listened directly to Zhang Jinchi's words and sat in front of him.

Although Zhang Jinchi learned from Xiao Hongkun that this time the one who defeated him was a young man, only when Zhang Jinchi sat face to face with Chen Ping at such a close distance could he truly feel Chen Ping's youth.

This made Zhang Jinchi suddenly feel a very serious frustration, which made him suddenly feel that most of his life in the officialdom was in vain, and he was even played with by such a young man in the midst of his applause. He almost started to find trouble for heavy industry projects and was led by the other party when he put pressure on Luzhuang.

Zhang Jinchi thought this and couldn't help but sigh subconsciously and said, "Mayor Chen is really young and promising. I feel the indomitable momentum of the Yangtze River pushing the previous waves."

Chen Ping scratched his head and said, "Actually, Governor Zhang, you said this, makes me feel a little embarrassed, because this matter is also my luck. After all, if Governor Zhang, you can think more carefully and do things more carefully, then no matter how many solutions I think of, you will be powerless to you."

Chen Ping neither comforted Zhang Jinchi with humility nor was he contented, but spoke realistically, which made Zhang Jinchi a little surprised.

Indeed, Zhang Jinchi knew in his heart that, as Chen Ping said, if he could think more about the documents targeting local officials and disciplines, he could be more cautious when putting pressure on the local area, and think more about why Xiao Hongkun, who has always been smart, would be so weak and concessional and would act so extreme, then with his own experience, he might not be able to find anything.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinchi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "But a pity, I wanted to deal with Luzhuang too much, so I ignored these things and let you seize the opportunity."

"This should be said that Governor Zhang, you really lost to Secretary Xiao," Chen Ping said. "In fact, I'm not hiding it from Governor Zhang, I didn't think too much about the initial layout. It was Secretary Xiao who put down his identity and made a furious look for you in the provincial party committee, and went to the central government to complain about these things, which made Governor Zhang make a wrong judgment."

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Jinchi asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Chen Ping, as you say, Secretary Xiao has been acting in line with your layout? Then you are just a small county-level deputy mayor."

Zhang Jinchi paused at this point, and then said to Chen Ping: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to say that this is not to look down on you. I just think the gap between you and Secretary Xiao is too big. How could he do things so obediently according to your layout? And he will take the initiative to improve your layout."

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know this either, but if I have to make a judgment, it's just luck, which has something to do with Secretary Xiao from our Luzhuang."

Chen Ping's words came to an abrupt end here. After all, too much words will lead to mistakes, and Zhang Jinchi understood this just rightly. Zhang Jinchi thought for a while, and then suddenly looked at Chen Ping up and down a few times. Chen Ping certainly understood what he was thinking, so he said first: "Governor Zhang, don't get me wrong, we Secretary Xiao and I are not what you think."

"Sorry, I thought too much."

Zhang Jinchi said this, and after that, Zhang Jinchi was surprised that he would apologize to Chen Ping, because although he was no longer a governor, at least the self-esteem in his heart was still there, how could he apologize to his subordinates? And now he said this, completely putting Chen Ping on an equal position with him.

Zhang Jinchi thought of this and let out a gentle breath. If he thought Chen Ping was not simple when he learned that it was Chen Ping who defeated him, then now he is more convinced of this.

However, Zhang Jinchi was not stunned for long. He continued: "Actually, when you think about this whole thing, every judgment you make is very accurate. Whether you are aware of me or Secretary-General Zhang's psychology, you are very accurate, but I remember that we have not been in contact with it several times."

Faced with this problem, Chen Ping thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Governor Zhang, say something you may not like to listen to, and I don't know you either. I just want to think about things in the direction of your most likely decision."

"Then you are brave enough!" Zhang Jinchi pointed at Chen Ping and said, "Aren't you afraid that I am cautious? If I wait and see for a while, will you be wasted all your previous efforts?"

In response, Chen Ping said: "That can only be said that I saw the future and grasped your every move by Governor Zhang."

Zhang Jinchi laughed and said, "What a guy who sees the future, but whether it is your courage or other reasons, you really made me suffer a big blow this time. I'll give you a cup."

After Zhang Jinchi finished speaking, he raised his glass to Chen Ping, and Chen Ping also raised his glass and said, "I am really flattered to let Governor Zhang take the initiative to toast."

Indeed, there is almost no reason for the leader to toast his subordinates at the dinner table, let alone the huge gap between the governor and the department-level official. Even the governor who is about to retreat to the second line is the same. After all, regardless of whether the position under his butt is located, the sense of superiority in his heart cannot disappear, so this is still very difficult. It is estimated that if Zhang Jinchi took the initiative to toast Chen Ping today, it would be enough to make all the officials' glasses shattered.

After drinking, Chen Ping said to Zhang Jinchi again: "Governor Zhang, I know you are an old cadre, so I want to talk to you about some things today."
