There was no one in the corridor.
After Chen Xing recovered from his momentary daze, he dashed towards the elevators again. Unfortunately, there was no movement from the two elevators. One of them was parked on the first floor, while the other was ascending from the first floor. In other words, no one had taken the elevator from the eighth floor.
Oh, the stairs!
Chen Xing suddenly remembered that there was a staircase to go downstairs. But when Chen Xing ran to the staircase on the side of the corridor, Chen Xing looked disappointed. There was no movement from the staircase, not even the sound of someone walking.
Full of doubts, Chen Xing walked back to the room. Seeing Ni Jiali and Cai Qingsui standing at the door, he couldn't help asking, "Did you see someone at the door just now?"
"No." Ni Jiali and Cai Qingsui shook their heads.
"Oh, Mayor Chen, there's a letter on the floor. I picked it up." Ni Jiali said.
Hearing this, Chen Xing took the envelope and realized that it was the "piece of paper" that flew in just now. He didn't expect it to be a letter.
Chen Xing was eager to read the contents of the envelope, so he opened it on the spot. Ni Jiali and Cai Qingsui were sensible and took the initiative to step away.
After reading the contents of the envelope, a strange look flashed across Chen Xing's eyes. It turned out to be a report against the director of the Municipal Bureau, Liao Wenhao? There was also a lot of evidence of Liao Wenhao's disciplinary violations.
Holding the envelope, Chen Xing stood there for a while. After a moment of contemplation, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Interesting."
"Mayor Chen, what did you say?" Ni Jiali looked at Chen Xing with a strange look.
"Nothing." Chen Xing shook his head and kept the envelope without batting an eyelid.
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't want to say more, Ni Jiali knew that she shouldn't ask more. She didn't ask what was written in the envelope. However, this letter suddenly appeared at the door. Obviously, someone must have been outside just now. It was just that she and Cai Qingsui didn't notice.
Mayor Chen, this letter was thrown in from outside, right? Ni Jiali tried to find something to talk about.
Hmm, I saw a figure, but I couldn't see him after chasing after him. Hearing those words, Chen Xing raised his brows. Oh, isn't there a surveillance camera in this corridor?
Yes, because leaders often went down to the Tower Hotel.
The hotel's security system was very complete. Not only the corridors, but also the elevators and staircases on every floor were monitored. The entire building was basically guaranteed to have no blind spots under surveillance. Ni Jiali nodded. When Chen Xing asked this question, Ni Jiali had already understood what Chen Xing meant. "Mayor Chen, do you want to go to the monitoring room to have a look?"
That's right. Since there are surveillance cameras, I'll go take a look. Maybe I can see who was outside the door just now.
Chen Xing went immediately. Under the guidance of Ni Jiali, the three of them came to the monitoring room of the hotel. When the staff inside saw that Ni Jiali wanted to check the surveillance cameras, and Chen Xing, the mayor who lived on the eighth floor, came with them, they were so scared that they stood up immediately and played the surveillance cameras without saying anything.
As expected, outside the 808 room where Chen Xing lived, a man in black pants and a black T-shirt ran past the door and threw something into Chen Xing's room.
Although it was confirmed that it was a man, the rest disappointed Chen Xing. Because the man wore a cap that was pressed down very low, he couldn't see the man's face at all.
However, Chen Xing saw clearly from the surveillance cameras that the man left from the stairs after running past his room. Unfortunately, the man was very cunning. After running to the seventh floor, he immediately left by the elevator. This was also the reason why Chen Xing didn't hear any footsteps at the staircase. Because the man had already been in the corridor of the seventh floor at that time, and the man deliberately walked lightly, it was no wonder that Chen Xing didn't hear any movement.
Seeing the man finally take the elevator downstairs, Chen Xing was a little annoyed. If he had chased him downstairs, he might have seen the man. Although thinking about it in his heart, Chen Xing also knew that in that situation, if he didn't see the man, his first reaction would not be to chase him, but to see what the man threw into his room.
This man seemed to be very familiar with the internal monitoring system of the hotel. Every time he lowered his head or turned sideways, he avoided the angle of the surveillance camera so well that the camera didn't even capture his side. Ni Jiali suddenly said.
Ni Jiali's words stunned Chen Xing. Mr. Ni, could it be the staff of your hotel?
Mayor Chen, it's hard to say. Without seeing his face, it's hard to judge anything. Moreover, it's not necessarily only the staff of our hotel who are familiar with the positions of the surveillance cameras. Some frequent guests can see the positions of the cameras on every floor as long as they pay a little attention. It's not difficult to avoid them. Ni Jiali smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Ni Jiali's words were right.
Didn't you notice that there was a sneaky person outside Mayor Chen's room? Why didn't you alert the security guards immediately? Ni Jiali reprimanded the staff in the surveillance room at this time.
Mr. Ni, it's already time to get off work, and it's dinner time. I was busy calling someone to send me fast food just now, so I didn't notice it. The staff lowered his head guiltily.
Mr. Ni, it has nothing to do with the staff, so you don't need to scold them. Chen Xing waved his hand.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Ni Jiali let it go.
The three of them went back upstairs. Because of what happened, Chen Xing didn't agree to have dinner with Cai Qingsui. After asking Ni Jiali to ask the staff of the hotel to send dinner to their room, Chen Xing didn't go out again that night.
The night passed in the blink of an eye. The next day, Chen Xing came to the office as usual.
At around nine o 'clock in the morning, Executive Vice Mayor Kong Zhengliang came to Chen Xing's office to discuss with Chen Xing about the financial subsidies for cultural enterprises.
In fact, although the municipal government had issued a notice to focus on supporting and building several influential cultural brands, the relevant regulations and details had not been finalized. The reason why the notice was approved by the executive meeting of the Municipal Government and issued immediately was because of Chen Xing's vigorous promotion. Chen Xing's idea was also a general direction, and things could be pushed forward quickly. As for the details, they were not in a hurry.
For example, although the notice to support cultural enterprises was issued quickly, and it was confirmed that there were only ten enterprises in the early stage, the city had to go through a strict screening process. It couldn't be selected quickly in a day or two. Therefore, the specific allocation of funds for these ten enterprises had not been finalized yet, but the city had enough time to consider it. It wouldn't be too late to decide on the financial subsidies after the list of ten enterprises was confirmed.
Kong Zhengliang came to Chen Xing to discuss the funding allocation plan. This was because the city's plan was to invest 1 billion yuan in the initial phase. Later on, depending on the results and development, they would decide whether or not to invest more and how much to invest.
The problem now was that the ten enterprises that the city wanted to choose were not limited to the municipal state-owned enterprises. The problem was, how would they allocate one billion yuan? They couldn't directly give each enterprise 100 million yuan. This distribution plan seemed fair, but in fact, it was not scientific. Some of the enterprises would be large municipal state-owned enterprises, and some would be small private enterprises. For large municipal state-owned enterprises, 100 million yuan was not a lot, but for small private enterprises, it was not necessarily the same. If you directly gave them 100 million yuan, they might not even know how to spend the money, and the city couldn't just give the money to a private enterprise. It was okay to give the money to a state-owned enterprise, but to a private enterprise, the city couldn't just give the money to a private enterprise for free, right? There had to be some conditions involved.
But no matter what the conditions were, no private enterprise would refuse to get the government's money to develop the company, and they could also get the government's project support and policy.
Kong Zhengliang planned to discuss the specific details with Chen Xing today. The city's current financial situation was not very good. Although taking out one billion yuan was not a lot, they couldn't just throw it away casually.
When the two had just sat down, there was a hurried knock on the door. Yu Zhiyuan knocked a few times and pushed the door open. Mayor, Manager Fang from the Performing Arts Group is here. I asked the staff to stop her, but I don't think they can stop her. She's coming straight to you.
When Chen Xing heard it was Fang Pingping, he immediately got a headache, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Kong Zhengliang, who had just sat on the sofa, had a very interesting expression. When he heard it was Fang Pingping, Kong Zhengliang stood up immediately. Mayor, you talk to Manager Fang first. I will come back later.
After saying that, Kong Zhengliang immediately ran away.
Hey, Comrade Zhengliang, don't go first. Manager Fang is also here for the quota. Let's get rid of her together and then discuss the matter. Chen Xing called out to Kong Zhengliang.
Mayor, I will come back after you get rid of her. Kong Zhengliang ran away without looking back.
Looking at Kong Zhengliang's back, Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew Fang Pingping was difficult to deal with, but after all, he had just come here and had a limited understanding of Fang Pingping. He didn't know how powerful Fang Pingping was to make Kong Zhengliang turn pale and run away at once.
Soon, the clacking of high heels came from outside the office. Chen Xing straightened his expression and prepared to welcome this difficult Manager Fang. Then he saw Fang Pingping walk in hastily. The two peaks under her blouse bounced up and down along with her big strides.
