Handing the phone over, Chen Xing observed Zhang Mingchen. At this moment, Zhang Mingchen's face had turned serious again, no longer smiling. Chen Xing was secretly shocked. Chen Xing couldn't understand Zhang Mingchen as a team leader. He could feel that Zhang Mingchen seemed to be rejecting him, which made Chen Xing confused. The two of them had never interacted before, even if Zhang Mingchen was biased against him, he didn't know where that bias came from.
Comrade Chen Xing, what are you trying to say? Zhang Mingchen returned the phone to Chen Xing with a slight frown on his face. The contents of the notes recorded the theft of several valuable antique paintings and calligraphy pieces from Tong Baiyan's Fuchun neighborhood. Zhang Mingchen glanced at the phone and understood what Chen Xing was trying to say. As the head of the Municipal Party Committee, it was impossible for him to afford such expensive antique paintings and calligraphy pieces with his normal salary. Therefore, the origin of the antique paintings and calligraphy pieces was worth pondering.
Team Leader, I would like to apply for an investigation against Tong Baiyan. Chen Xing looked straight into Zhang Mingchen's eyes, frowning slightly. Zhang Mingchen had originally called him 'Chen Xing', but now he suddenly called him 'comrade'. Chen Xing had a premonition that something was up.
Comrade Chen Xing, Ning Shuangqi had just been placed under investigation not long ago, and the position of Yuntian City's mayor is still vacant. Now you want to apply for an investigation against Tong Baiyan? Do you want Yuntian City's government to be completely useless? Have you considered the local government's opinion? You're simply talking nonsense. If you do things like this, the local and provincial comrades will be unhappy. Zhang Mingchen looked at Chen Xing, his tone suddenly stern. This was the first time he spoke to Chen Xing in such a tone.
Team Leader, I remember that the working principle of our inspection team is to be realistic. Before coming to the local government, Secretary Ning had especially emphasized that we must handle cases independently and avoid interference and influence from the local government. Why does Team Leader Zhang's words seem to be contrary to Secretary Ning's words? Chen Xing looked at Zhang Mingchen, feeling a little annoyed. No matter how he looked at it, Zhang Mingchen was deliberately targeting him.
Comrade Chen Xing, what do you mean by this? Zhang Mingchen stared at Chen Xing, anger flashing in his eyes.
I think Team Leader Zhang should be aware of Secretary Ning's requirements for our inspection work. Chen Xing replied expressionlessly.
Chen Xing, please watch your tone and manner of speaking. Is this how you talk to your superior with such an attitude? Zhang Mingchen glared at Chen Xing angrily. If it wasn't for their identities, he would have lost his temper long ago.
Leader Zhang, I'm just stating the facts. Chen Xing said indifferently again.
Zhang Mingchen had always been a domineering person. Previously, when he was the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, his words were the law in his unit, and no one could question him. Even when he was transferred to the Central Government, his colleagues knew his character well, and he was highly appreciated by the higher-ups. Therefore, very few people dared to go against him. Now that he had suddenly encountered a person like Chen Xing, who was of a lower rank than him, Zhang Mingchen was infuriated.
Fine, since you keep saying that you are stating the facts, then let me ask you. You investigated Tong Baiyan without permission. Do you still have any organizational discipline? Do you still have any Party spirit or principles? Zhang Mingchen stared coldly at Chen Xing and questioned him.
We only found some unusual clues, so we secretly conducted an investigation. I don't think this is against the discipline of the inspection team. Chen Xing replied calmly. He knew that what Zhang Mingchen said was indeed a little disadvantageous to him, but if the other party insisted on using this point to put a big hat on him, Chen Xing was not afraid of arguing with the other party. 'Every suspicious point must be investigated, and every letter must be answered'. This was the eight-character working principle of the inspection team. As long as Chen Xing defended himself on this point, he was not afraid that Zhang Mingchen would report him to the higher-ups.
Just like that, both sides stood in a stalemate. Chen Xing and Zhang Mingchen stared at each other. The other party's cold and sharp eyes did not scare him. After all, he was once the top leader of a city, so he would not be so easily intimidated by the other party's gaze. However, the current situation was not what Chen Xing wanted. He had rushed all the way from Yuntian to Quan Ning to report to Zhang Mingchen in person, hoping to gain his approval. Now that things had turned out like this, Chen Xing did not want to see it happen either.
After a moment, Zhang Mingchen retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Xing one last time. Zhang Mingchen said indifferently, "I will report this matter truthfully to Secretary Ning and see what Secretary Ning has to say."
After saying that, Zhang Mingchen stood up and walked away. He stood in front of the window, seemingly admiring the scenery outside, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident. He was obviously sending Chen Xing off.
Chen Xing was stunned for two or three seconds. Looking at Zhang Mingchen's back, Chen Xing stood up and was about to leave Zhang Mingchen's room. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Then I will not disturb Leader Zhang's rest."
Chen Xing came out of Zhang Mingchen's room. Thinking of the scene that almost led to an argument just now, Chen Xing sighed helplessly. He thought to himself that he was still too impulsive after all. His temper still needed to be tempered.
At the staircase of the corridor, Qin Minghua was watching with his head lowered. Chen Xing soon saw him and walked over in confusion.
"Minghua, what are you doing here?" Chen Xing asked.
"Leader, did you quarrel with Leader Zhang?" Qin Minghua asked with a bitter smile. He already knew the answer. At noon, he saw that Chen Xing had returned, so he followed up to see what was going on. Who would have thought that before he reached the door, he would hear the hostile conversation between Chen Xing and Zhang Mingchen. Qin Minghua was so frightened that he hid outside the door and did not dare to enter.
"Hmm, you heard it all?" Chen Xing glanced at Qin Minghua.
"Leader, there is really no need for you to have a conflict with Leader Qin." Qin Minghua shook his head. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Mingchen's room. Qin Minghua said again, "Leader, why don't you sit in my room on the second floor?
That's fine, we can have lunch together. " Chen Xing squeezed a smile on his face. He had rushed back all the way, and did not even have time to eat lunch. The result was disappointing.
"Leader, you haven't eaten yet? Then I will ask someone to send a box of lunch over. " Qin Minghua heard Chen Xing's words and immediately said.
The two walked downstairs and entered Qin Minghua's room. Qin Minghua invited Chen Xing to sit down and poured a glass of water for Chen Xing. Then he walked to the chair beside Chen Xing and sat down.
