When Chen Xing left the construction site of the cultural industrial park and returned to the Municipal Government, it was almost noon. Fang Pingping, who had made an appointment in advance, was already waiting outside the office. As soon as Chen Xing returned, Fang Pingping was also invited into the office.
Fang Pingping came this time for the Golden Tripod Awards. Although it was just an award ceremony in the film and television industry, it was not easy to apply to be held in Jiang City. However, this was mainly because Jiang City had applied at the last minute, which suddenly disrupted the Film and Television Association's plan. Because the Film and Television Association had almost communicated with Donghua City, if nothing went wrong, the host city next year would be Donghua City. However, Jiang City suddenly joined in halfway and seemed determined to win, which also made it difficult for the Film and Television Association.
After all, the Film and Television Association was only a semi-official social organization. Although it was only under the jurisdiction of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the Film and Television Association did not want to offend the local government. Therefore, Jiang City clearly wanted the right to hold the award next year, which made the Film and Television Association very embarrassed.
What made the Film and Television Association not know whether to laugh or cry was that with Jiang City's participation, Hai City, which also belonged to Jianghai Province, also joined the competition. Moreover, the Publicity Minister of Hai City's Municipal Party Committee personally led the relevant departments to visit the main person in charge of the Film and Television Association.
Mayor Chen, if there is no heavyweight leader in the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold the right to hold the award next year. In the office, Fang Pingping began to complain as soon as she opened her mouth.
Why is the competition so fierce? Chen Xing said with a smile.
Normally, it is just an award ceremony in the film and television industry, so it should not be so popular. However, we came in halfway and wanted to snatch the fruit of others. If we don't put in more effort, we can't succeed at all. Fang Pingping explained. And there was another thing that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. I don't know if it was because of Jiang City's application, but Hai City also came to join in the fun. Moreover, the Publicity Minister came in person, and they were even more active than Jiang City.
Is there such a thing? Chen Xing frowned. At the mention of Sea City, Chen Xing naturally thought of Zhang Yiping. At this moment, Fang Pingping's words made Chen Xing want to speculate about a conspiracy theory. He wondered if Zhang Yiping had heard about Jiang City's application, so she deliberately asked Sea City to intervene and even asked the Publicity Department to come forward.
It was true that he was the mayor, so if there was no more support from the city, this matter would be difficult. Fang Pingping said helplessly.
Have you reported to Minister Feng? Did she say anything? Chen Xing asked.
I haven't talked to Minister Feng yet.
That's not right of you. You should also report to Minister Feng in time. I think she will be very willing to come forward for this kind of thing. After all, this is beneficial to the publicity.
I was thinking that the Performing Arts Group is a state-owned enterprise and is under the control of the Municipal Government, so I wanted to report to Mayor Chen as soon as possible. Fang Pingping said innocently.
When Chen Xing heard Fang Pingping's words, he smiled and glanced at her. This Fang Pingping was really good with words, subtly flattering him.
You should also report to Minister Feng about this matter and see what she has to say. If she is willing to come forward, then let her do it. If she doesn't say anything, you can come to me. I can do it. After thinking for a while, Chen Xing said.
That's great. If Mayor Chen is willing to come forward in person, I believe it will be a success.
Come on, don't flatter me. I don't know many people in the Film and Television Association. As for the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, if our local leaders are willing to give us face, we can do it. If not, there is nothing we can do. Chen Xing said with a smile.
I believe that if Mayor Chen is willing to come forward, there will be a solution. Fang Pingping said with a smile.
After reporting the work, Fang Pingping didn't stay for long. It was almost noon and lunch time was coming. Fang Pingping didn't dare to delay Chen Xing's time. As for inviting Chen Xing to have lunch together, Fang Pingping didn't dare to ask. Although Chen Xing was usually very casual and didn't put on airs, Fang Pingping thought that she hadn't figured out Chen Xing's temperament. If she wanted to be closer to him, it was better to do it step by step.
After Fang Pingping left, Chen Xing looked at the time and called Zheng Zhongqiang. Then Chen Xing also stood up and left.
They took a car from the Municipal Government to the detention center in the north of the city. Chen Xing's car quietly stopped 100 meters away from the gate of the detention center.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, a black car drove out of the detention center and slowly stopped beside the car in which Chen Xing was sitting. Liu Anding got out of the car and got into Chen Xing's car.
The car window rolled down. Chen Xing smiled and slightly gestured to Zheng Zhongqiang in the other car. Director Zheng, thank you for your hard work. Let's talk tonight.
Okay, see you tonight. Zheng Zhongqiang said to Chen Xing across the car. They made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.
Zheng Zhongqiang's car left first, while Chen Xing's car drove in another direction. In the car, Chen Xing patted Liu Anding's hand. Director Liu, you have suffered these days.
It doesn't matter. The fact that I can come out shows that there is justice and conscience in this society. Liu Anding looked indifferent. It was not an exaggeration to say that what he had experienced these days was purgatory for Liu Anding.
Liu Anding seemed to feel that his attitude was too cold, so he squeezed a smile on his face. He also knew who he was facing now, and he was even more clear about whose credit it was that he could come out this time. Mayor Chen, I won't say anything unnecessary. Thank you for what you have done this time.
You don't have to thank me. You should thank yourself for coming out. Chen Xing waved his hand. What he said was the truth. Liu Anding was able to come out so quickly this time, of course, he was the one who pushed for it in the dark. Most importantly, Liu Anding was clean himself, making it impossible for anyone to find out anything wrong with him. Otherwise, Liu Anding might really have been trapped in there.
Liu Anding also knew that what Chen Xing said was the truth. But so what? Without Chen Xing's help, even if he was innocent, could he come out? This experience also made Liu Anding understand what it meant to turn white into black, which was more bloody than all kinds of cruelty he had experienced before.
The atmosphere in the car was relatively silent. Chen Xing quietly glanced at Liu Anding. Looking carefully, he could vaguely see that there were some wrinkles on Liu Anding's forehead. Although they were not obvious, there were indeed wrinkles. He sighed in his heart. Liu Anding seemed to have aged a lot in a short time after being locked up for nearly 20 days.
Let's go eat first. I'll give you a welcome dinner. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Anding only smiled and did not say anything.
Sensing that Liu Anding had little desire to speak, Chen Xing also remained silent. Liu Anding had just been released from the detention center, so he probably needed some time to calm down. In fact, Liu Anding hadn't informed Liu Anding in advance that he could be released today. It was only right before he was released that someone from Zheng Zhongqiang's side informed Liu Anding. As for Chen Jianshe's side, he had probably just received the news.
