Old Miao, stop by the side of the road. Seeing the person in the driver's seat, Chen Xing said to the driver, Miao Yuanliang.
Soon, Miao Yuanliang found a road with less traffic nearby and stopped.
The car following Chen Xing's also approached at this time and slowly stopped side by side. Sitting in the driver's seat was Ji Yifei.
Mayor Chen, I want to talk to you. I don't know if you can give me a chance. Ji Yifei got out of the car with a respectful look.
"Get in the car first." Chen Xing looked at the road outside. Most sections of the urban area had no parking signs, not to mention that they were still in the downtown area. There were traffic police on duty in front of them, and there was also a big no parking sign behind them.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Ji Yifei was overjoyed and quickly got in the car. The two cars only stopped by the side of the road for less than a minute. At this time, the traffic police came over. However, seeing the license plate number of Chen Xing's car and the fact that the car left immediately after it stopped, the traffic police tactfully did not chase after them.
The two cars drove on the street one after the other. After seeing a coffee shop along the street, Chen Xing asked Yu Zhiyuan to go down and book a place, and then motioned for Ji Yifei to stop.
When they parked the car and went in, Yu Zhiyuan had already booked a place and walked out. Mayor, there were no private rooms left. There were only private rooms left. Yu Zhiyuan whispered.
"Then sit outside." Chen Xing glanced over and waved his hand casually. There were not too many people outside. Yu Zhiyuan was also quite discerning and chose a corner that was not easy to attract attention.
Chen Xing sat down first and said to Ji Yifei, "Miss Ji, sit down."
"Mayor Chen, let's sit here. Won't we be noticed?" Ji Yifei sat down nervously and looked around, as if she was afraid of being seen.
Ji Yifei's reaction made Chen Xing shake his head and laugh. "Don't be so nervous. Are you afraid that someone will follow you?"
"That's not it. I'm worried that what we say later will be heard." Ji Yifei was embarrassed.
There's no need for that. There's no one at the next few tables. You don't have to make yourself too nervous. Chen Xing smiled faintly and looked at Ji Yifei. Chen Xing thought that Ji Yifei's visit might be related to what he said last night.
Mayor Chen, have you already asked someone to investigate the poverty alleviation fund in Zhaoliang County? After Ji Yifei calmed herself down, she didn't even bother with pleasantries and immediately asked.
What, even you got wind of it so quickly? Chen Xing neither denied nor admitted it. He looked at Ji Yifei with interest.
Although Zhaoliang County was very big, it was actually very small. This was because the county seat was only the size of a palm. As long as there was any movement, anyone with some connections would be able to hear the news. Ji Yifei said.
Then why are you looking for me? Chen Xing looked at Ji Yifei.
"Last night in Xinglin Village, I told Mayor Chen that the villagers could only receive half of the poverty subsidy. I thought Mayor Chen was indifferent, but I didn't expect that Mayor Chen actually had the people in your heart. Last night, I thought Mayor Chen was just like those corrupt officials who only knew how to pretend. I was wrong." Ji Yifei looked apologetic.
"If you came all the way from Zhaoliang County to the city just to tell me this, then you don't have to.
No, I have something more important to tell you. Mayor Chen, I have something to tell you. " Ji Yifei suddenly looked anxious. "Mayor Chen, since the news that the city was going to investigate the poverty alleviation fund came out in the morning, the county seemed calm on the surface. But in private, it was shaken. A group of local ruffians even came out in full force, saying that they were going to investigate some rumor-mongers. The county was in a state of panic. Many small vendors were so scared that they didn't even dare to do business."
"This is interesting. What does the city want to investigate the poverty alleviation fund have to do with these ruffians?" Chen Xing looked surprised.
"Of course it has something to do with it. Mayor Chen, you are not in the county, so you don't know. One of the biggest local ruffians in Zhaoliang County has a close relationship with the son of a major leader in the county. This time, when the city said that they were going to investigate the poverty alleviation fund in Zhaoliang County, Mayor Chen happened to come down for an inspection, some people naturally thought that someone in the county had snitched on them. The son of the leader was furious, and the people around him were naturally willing to help him."
Ji Yifei gave a brief explanation. Chen Xing didn't show any reaction on his face, but Yu Zhiyuan's expression was very interesting. A picture of a leader's son and a gangster's head with their arms around each other's shoulders automatically appeared in his mind. He thought that it would be fine if they didn't do anything, but they dared to make such a big scene so blatantly. Wasn't he courting death? He didn't know if Ji Yifei was deliberately exaggerating just to attract Chen Xing's attention.
"Since you mentioned the son of a major leader in the county, which leader is he?" Chen Xing asked calmly.
"It's the county magistrate, Lu Chengyi." Ji Yifei gritted her teeth.
"Lu Chengyi?" Chen Xing looked surprised. For the first time, there was a change of expression on his face.
"Are you sure?" Chen Xing became serious.
"I'm 100% sure." Ji Yifei said with certainty. "Mayor Chen, I am a reporter. I know the consequences of framing a leader, so I will never talk nonsense. A large part of the poverty alleviation fund in the county is used by Lu Chengyi's son to invest in business."
"Why didn't you say this last night?" Chen Xing glanced at Ji Yifei.
"I wanted to say it last night, but Mayor Chen, your attitude was very vague last night, and you asked me to leave early. I didn't have a chance to say it even if I wanted to." Ji Yifei said helplessly.
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help laughing. Ji Yifei was right. His attitude last night was indeed difficult for outsiders to understand. In addition, he asked Yu Zhiyuan to ask Ji Yifei to leave, so Ji Yifei didn't dare to say more.
After a moment of silence, Chen Xing didn't really believe Ji Yifei's words 100% at the moment. When it came to a county leader, everything needed evidence. Everyone could say empty words, but the key was whether there was evidence. Although Chen Xing believed that Ji Yifei didn't need to frame a county leader, and she probably didn't have the guts to do so, Chen Xing couldn't believe what she said.
"Mayor Chen, I think if the city directly investigates Lu Chengyi, we will definitely get something." Ji Yifei said eagerly.
Haha, Lu Chengyi is the head of the county. Firstly, no one reported him. Secondly, the discipline inspection department did not take the initiative to find anything wrong with him. They just said that they would investigate him. Do you think that the party and the government take it so lightly? Chen Xing looked at Ji Yifei, shook his head and smiled. "Well, I got it. You can go back now."
"Mayor Chen …"
Chen Xing waved his hand to interrupt her. "If you have other things to say, you can continue. If not, I have heard what you want to say about this matter. Haven't you achieved your purpose of coming to see me?"
Chen Xing's words made Ji Yifei speechless. She really didn't have other things to say, but after saying so, Ji Yifei really hoped that Chen Xing could directly investigate Lu Chengyi. However, Chen Xing's attitude was undoubtedly telling her that she didn't need to teach him what to do, nor did she need to say anything.
