For Chen Xing, a peaceful life was always short-lived. The one-year period of training in the Party School for the Youth Class was long, but time always passed quietly without people noticing.
After returning from Nanzhou, Chen Xing never left Beijing again. He concentrated on his studies in the Party School and lived a busy life every day. As the training was coming to an end, Chen Xing's phone became busy again.
No one knew where the news came from. It was said that Chen Xing was going to Rivertown to take up the post of mayor. After the Party School, he would be officially appointed. As the news spread, it was easy to imagine the result. Chen Xing's phone was ringing off the hook. Some of them knew him, while others didn't. All of them were calling him for the sole purpose of getting close to him.
No matter whether they knew him or not, as long as they could call Chen Xing's private mobile phone, as long as Chen Xing was free, he would not refuse. There was no doubt that these people who could get the news in advance were all powerful people.
In fact, the Organization Department had just talked to Chen Xing two days ago about Chen Xing becoming the mayor of Jiang City. It could be regarded as informing Chen Xing in advance, so that Chen Xing could be prepared. The official appointment had to wait until Chen Xing finished his studies in the Party School.
Although the graduation ceremony of the Party School would be held in these two days, the appointment of the Organization Department had not been officially announced. Those people far away in Jianghai Province had received the news. Chen Xing was speechless. However, as a member of the Organization Department for many years, Chen Xing had become numb to the speed at which gossip spread in the Organization Department. In this circle, there was no real secret, especially about the appointment of personnel. Some underground departments were more resourceful than the real departments.
These days, Chen Xing obviously had a headache answering the phone. At this moment, it was Yang Zhen who called. Yang Zhen called to ask about Chen Xing's appointment. Although he already had a plan in mind, it was impossible for Chen Xing to admit to others that he was going to be the mayor of Jiang City after the official appointment of the Organization Department.
Yang Zhen, it's not clear yet. I'm still waiting for the news. I don't know what's going on outside. On the phone, Chen Xing said with a smile.
Chen Xing, whether you got the news or not, don't hide it from your old friends in Hai City. Old He and I are several steps behind others. I heard that the news has spread in Jiang City that you have been confirmed to be working in Jiang City. Yang Zhen said with a smile. They were naturally happy that Chen Xing was transferred back to Jianghai. Although Hai City and Jiang City had nothing to do with each other, they were both in the official circle of Jianghai Province after all. Chen Xing's return was more or less a good thing for them.
It turns out that you got the news from Jiang City. But once an order from the Organization Department is issued, nothing counts. Don't join in the fun. If I can really get to Jiang City, we will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, right?
That's true. From Hai City to Jiang City, we can take the newly opened Dehai Expressway. It only takes one hour to get there, which is much faster than the original Jianghai Expressway.
Well, it seems that I haven't been back to Jianghai for more than a year and have changed a lot.
That's for sure. Jianghai's economy has been developing very fast in the past few years, and its ranking among the coastal provinces has been rising. The city is changing every day. You will see it when you come back.
That's good. If I have the chance, I will definitely go back.
The two chatted on the phone for a while. Chen Xing was always tight-lipped about the appointment. Yang Zhen could tell that Chen Xing didn't want to say more, so he naturally wouldn't get to the bottom of it. However, they were both in the system and were well aware of the official affairs. Yang Zhen knew that Chen Xing's matter was most likely settled. He called to inquire about the news from Chen Xing. More importantly, he wanted to say hello to Chen Xing and let Chen Xing know that these people in Hai City had also been concerned about his news.
After a short chat, both sides hung up the phone.
Chen Xing was still at the Party School today, but he didn't have to attend classes. The graduation ceremony would be held in the afternoon, so Chen Xing was packing his things in the dormitory. Although his home was in the capital, he usually had to live in the dormitory during the training.
Chen Xing didn't have many things, just some books and clothes. After a simple packing, he was done with his work. After answering the phone call from Yang Zhen, Chen Xing looked a little melancholy. Looking at the familiar dormitory in front of him, Chen Xing could only sigh that time really flew by. A year had passed. Thinking about what happened in the past year, Chen Xing sighed silently.
The phone rang again. Chen Xing looked at the number. It was Ning Deyan, so he quickly picked up the phone.
Chen Xing, the graduation ceremony will be held in the afternoon, right? Let's have dinner together in the evening. Your brothers and sisters in your original group said that they will hold a farewell party for you. I will also go on behalf of the committee to join in the fun. On the phone, Ning Deyan laughed. It was rare that his tone was relaxed, without a serious tone.
Secretary Ning, if we do the same thing, won't we violate the eight rules of discipline? Chen Xing grinned.
You brat, tonight is a dinner party at your own expense. Do you still want to be reimbursed with public funds? Ning Deyan laughed and scolded. Knowing that Chen Xing was joking, Ning Deyan didn't say much. That's it. See you tonight.
After hanging up the phone with Ning Deyan, Chen Xing smiled unconsciously. His relationship with the organization was still in the hands of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. When the official appointment of the Organization Department came out, he still had to go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to go through the handover procedures.
This time, the reason why he could go to Jiang City was that Secretary Zheng, who was in charge of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, put in a good word for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pass the hurdle of the deputy department so smoothly. After all, Jiang City was a sub-provincial city. In the list of cadres in the youth class, there were only a few people like him who could directly hold an important position in a sub-provincial city after the training.
As a matter of fact, the number of times that Chen Xing and Secretary Zheng met was actually very few. In the past, when there was work arrangement, it was Ning Deyan who contacted them most of the time. However, deep in his heart, Chen Xing always maintained a deep respect for Secretary Zheng.
This time, Chen Xing roughly knew why Secretary Zheng spoke for him. It was more or less because of the dangerous encounter in Mount Wang. At that time, there was a problem within the system. Shen Zeliang actually had a connection with Qian Xinlai. This relationship was so deep that no one could imagine or dared to imagine it, because Shen Zeliang was not from Mount Wang or even from Nanhai Province. He had worked for many years and had no contact with Nanhai Province. Otherwise, the investigation team sent to Mount Wang would not have let him be the leader. However, he actually had a connection with Qian Xinlai. If it weren't for the exposure of Chen Xing's matter, no one knew how long Shen Zeliang could hide. No one knew when he began to contact Qian Xinlai. After several months of internal investigation, his case was still not over, because Qian Xinlai had not been brought to justice!
All the exit port and airport records showed that Qian Xinlai had not left the country, and Qian Xinlai had secretly applied for two ID cards with other people's names. Those two ID cards also had no exit record. It seemed that Qian Xinlai had disappeared into thin air. Although the arrest warrant for him had been in progress, his whereabouts could not be found.
Chen Xing speculated that there were two possibilities. Either Qian Xinlai had successfully escaped through some secret channels along the coast, or he was temporarily dormant. No one would believe that a man like Qian Xinlai, who was full of evil deeds, did not have a few hideouts for himself before. In addition, Qian Xinlai was very rich. If he had made arrangements long ago and hid in one place for a long time, it would really be hard for people to find him. The country was too big and there were too many people. If a person wanted to hide, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would not be easy to find him.
Chen Xing even thought that there might still be someone in the Public Security Bureau who secretly tipped off Qian Xinlai. As the richest man in Mount Wang in the past, no one knew how many relationships Qian Xinlai had and how many people had been corrupted by him. Only when he was arrested and brought to justice would everything come to light.
