Was he going to put justice before family, or was he going to pretend that he knew nothing? This was what troubled Luo Shuangli.
In fact, for the sake of justice, Luo Shuangli should have taken the initiative to explain the situation to the district when he started investigating the case. This was because the demolition company involved was run by his nephew, Luo Shiming. Out of the need to avoid suspicion, Luo Shuangli should not have been involved in this case. However, Luo Shuangli did not confess this situation to the city or even the district.
Luo Shuangli sighed helplessly. He shook his head and asked the driver to drive back to the district.
In the office, Chen Xing sent Hu Yongcheng and Luo Shuangli off. After looking at the time, Chen Xing also stood up and left. Lin Qing invited him for dinner that night. Chen Xing naturally agreed. He was also a little curious about why Lin Qing was in Jiangcheng now.
After leaving the Municipal Government, Chen Xing asked the driver to drive to Jiangcheng Hotel. The last time they had dinner, they also had dinner here.
The car drove in the direction of the hotel. It was the peak hour for people to get off work at night. There were traffic jams on the road from time to time. As the mayor, Chen Xing obviously could not complain about the traffic situation in Jiangcheng. The early planning could not keep up with the later development of the city. Now, to alleviate the traffic situation in Jiangcheng, it was not something that could be done overnight.
Sitting in the car, Chen Xing looked at the skyscrapers outside the window from time to time. Jiangcheng's urban construction in the past two years could be said to have made great strides. There were three newly planned CBDs. At a glance, it was full of commercial streets and financial centers.
The car slowly stopped. There was a traffic light in front of them. Chen Xing also took out his phone to look at it. When he was free, as the mayor, he also liked to browse the news on his phone or look at his WeChat Moments.
The time of the traffic light passed quickly. When Chen Xing inadvertently looked out of the window, he was slightly stunned. Across the road, in front of a clubhouse, Chen Xing faintly saw the figure of Zhang Yiping.
Was there something wrong with his eyes? Chen Xing was a little surprised. When he wanted to take a closer look, because of the car's forward angle, he could no longer see the position that he had just seen.
Even if it was Zhang Yiping, there was nothing strange about it. Chen Xing shook his head. The other party's home was still in Rivertown. It was not strange for him to come back.
After about ten minutes, the car arrived at the Jiangcheng Hotel. Chen Xing took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the floor where Lin Qing had booked the private room.
In the private room, Lin Qing was already waiting. When she saw Chen Xing enter, Lin Qing stood up with a smile. Mayor Chen had arrived.
Boss Lin, have you not left Jiang City since the last time you treated me to a meal, or are you here again? Chen Xing smiled.
I've been here for the past two days. Lin Qing smiled.
That's right, I knew you wouldn't be able to stay that long. Chen Xing smiled.
Every time I come over to invite Mayor Chen to dinner, Mayor Chen, you do me the honor. I really have to thank Mayor Chen properly. Lin Qing smiled sweetly.
Boss Lin, you're the one who's treating me to this meal, so I should be the one thanking you. Besides, I can ignore other people's face, but how can I not give you face? Chen Xing smiled.
The two of them sat down. Chen Xing treated this as an ordinary private dinner. After ordering the dishes, Lin Qing was about to pour wine for Chen Xing. Chen Xing thought that Lin Qing didn't drink much every time, so he didn't refuse.
The two of them ate and drank, talking about some interesting things. Occasionally, they would talk about the economy. Lin Qing was an executive of a multinational corporation. Naturally, Chen Xing and her had a lot to talk about in terms of the economy.
After three rounds of wine, Lin Qing, who had been joking, suddenly changed the topic. Mayor Chen, recently, Jiang City should be quite lively. Secretary Fu was transferred away, and many people were probably eyeing his position, wanting to fight for it.
Those who were qualified to fight for it would naturally want to fight for it. But this has nothing to do with me. I just need to do my job well. Chen Xing smiled. He was a little surprised that Lin Qing would suddenly bring up this topic, but he responded calmly.
There were actually only a few people in the province who were qualified to fight for it. As for the people outside, there were many candidates. He just didn't know if the higher-ups wanted to send one or choose one from the locals. Lin Qing smiled. Mayor Chen, haven't you thought about this? After all, you're the mayor. If you're qualified to fight for it, you're also qualified to fight for the position of Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Hehe, I'll pass. I'm not at that level yet. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand.
Mayor Chen, I don't agree with you. What do you mean by 'level'? You're an old man who has been in the bureaucracy for many years. Don't you know how to organize people? Actually, it all depends on whether you want to fight for it or not. In terms of connections, you have people above you. In terms of ability, you have the qualifications. You're the mayor. You're competing for the position of Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. If you're not qualified to fight for it, who is? Lin Qing smiled.
Boss Lin, you're putting me on a pedestal. I don't know where I'm going. Chen Xing shook his head and looked at Lin Qing strangely. He smiled and said, Boss Lin, you've surprised me. I remember that you weren't very interested in these things in the past.
Mayor Chen was wrong. As a senior executive of a foreign company in China, how could I not be interested in the politics and current affairs in China? Not only should I be interested, I should also pay attention to and understand the movements of the higher-ups, especially the movements of the economic policies. If not, how can I ensure the smooth operation of the company in China? Lin Qing smiled. In the past, she had never talked about this with Mayor Chen. Hence, Mayor Chen felt that it was strange. Actually, the relationship between me and Mayor Chen is also a form of interpersonal investment. If one day, our company needs help from Mayor Chen, we can ask Mayor Chen for help.
Lin Qing's words sounded more like a joke. Chen Xing didn't take it to heart. Gray Group was such a large multinational corporation. If they really needed help, they would naturally have a channel to report to the higher-ups. It wasn't his turn to help.
Chen Xing didn't take Lin Qing's words to heart. In the next moment, Lin Qing's words stunned Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, if you want to fight for the position of Secretary, I might be able to help.
Lin Qing's words stunned Chen Xing for a moment. He stared at Lin Qing for a while. Chen Xing wanted to think that Lin Qing was joking. However, when he saw Lin Qing's expression, Chen Xing couldn't help but ask, "Boss Lin, are you serious?
Mayor Chen, I can't possibly joke with you about this kind of thing. Lin Qing said with a smile. However, there was an additional seriousness in her smile.
