Chen Xing frowned as he thought about the possibility of Zhang Yiping being transferred to Jiang City. Lin Qing had also met Zhang Yiping. Chen Xing's imagination started to run wild. Lin Qing offered to help him compete for the position of secretary for no reason. What about Zhang Yiping? Did Lin Qing also say something like that?
Mayor, I've seen Zhang Yiping twice these days. I've never seen her come back so frequently before. I feel that she must be planning to take office in Jiang City. That's why she often comes to Jiang City. Zheng Zhongqiang said.
Where did you see her? Chen Xing looked at Zheng Zhongqiang in surprise.
Mayor Chen, you might not know this, but Zhang Yiping and I live in the same neighborhood. Zheng Zhongqiang smiled. Our neighborhood was the earliest batch of commercial housing in Jiang City. It had a history of nearly 20 years. At that time, commercial housing was still a new thing. When it first opened, ordinary people were not interested. Most of the people who bought it were civil servants working in government agencies. I bought my house at that time. Later, I learned that Zhang Yiping also bought that neighborhood. After so many years, I've never seen her move.
I didn't expect you to be neighbors. Chen Xing suddenly understood.
We weren't neighbors. Although we lived in the same residential area, we hadn't had any dealings with each other. When Zhang Yiping had been working in Jiang City, she had been a very arrogant person. I remembered that when she was the Deputy Mayor, her authority wasn't ordinary. Many residents in the residential area had experienced it. Zheng Zhongqiang shook his head and smiled. He recalled the past. When he first bought the house, he was still a small policeman.
Zhang Yiping's husband had a big business. It was strange that they didn't move to a big villa but stayed in the old neighborhood. Chen Xing twitched his mouth.
They didn't show off their wealth. Besides, with Zhang Yiping's current status and position, they couldn't show off no matter how rich they were. Zheng Zhongqiang smiled.
By the way, Director Zheng, is everything normal in Zeng Jing these two days? Chen Xing suddenly asked.
It's normal. What's wrong? Zheng Zhongqiang looked at Chen Xing with a strange look.
It's okay. I'm just asking. Smiling, Chen Xing picked up his cup and took a sip of water to conceal his emotions.
Chen Xing's behavior made Zheng Zhongqiang feel more and more strange. He thought to himself, "What's wrong with them? Based on the friendship between Chen Xing and Zeng Jing, if they wanted to ask about Zeng Jing's situation, they could have just called Zeng Jing. Why did they ask him instead? Besides, Zeng Jing had always been normal, so Chen Xing's question was really confusing."
Unable to figure it out, Zheng Zhongqiang didn't think too much about it. More importantly, he didn't dare to think too much about it!
There was a soft knock on the door. Chen Xing turned around and saw Ni Jiali standing at the door. He nodded, indicating that she could come in.
Ni Jiali walked in and glanced at Zheng Zhongqiang. She smiled and greeted him. Director Zheng, hello.
Hmm, who is this? Zheng Zhongqiang looked at Ni Jiali in confusion. He didn't know her, but she knew him.
Chief Zheng, this is the vice president of the hotel, Ni Jiali. Chen Xing introduced her with a smile.
Oh, it's Ms. Ni. Zheng Zhongqiang suddenly understood. No wonder she knew him. As the vice president of the hotel in Jiangcheng, she must be familiar with the leaders of the province and city. Otherwise, she wouldn't know if she neglected the guests.
Ms. Ni came here for something? Chen Xing looked at Ni Jiali.
Mayor Chen, a friend just came to find me and told me something. I know he wanted to tell you through me. Originally, I was hesitating whether I should come to find you, but after thinking about it, I felt that I had to tell you about it. Otherwise, you would definitely blame me if you knew about it. Ni Jiali said solemnly.
What's the matter? Chen Xing looked at Ni Jiali.
Mayor, I heard that you went to Liyuan yesterday morning and got angry because of a demolition case? Ni Jiali didn't answer directly, but asked.
Yes, it did. Chen Xing nodded. What you want to say is related to this case?
Yes, it's because I know that Mayor Chen takes this matter very seriously and is also very angry, so I feel that I should tell you what I just learned. Ni Jiali looked at Chen Xing and enjoyed the feeling of being stared at by Chen Xing. However, this wasn't the time for her to be distracted. Ni Jiali quickly gathered her thoughts and said. Mayor, I heard that Luo Shuangli, the director of the Liyuan Public Security Bureau, who is responsible for the investigation, is related to the boss of the demolition company. The boss of the demolition company is Luo Shuangli's nephew.
Are you sure? Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and his face darkened.
Mayor Chen, I'm sure. I just asked that friend, and he said that he can guarantee that the information is true. Ni Jiali said with certainty.
Hearing that, Chen Xing remained silent. This kind of thing was actually easy to verify. As long as Zheng Zhongqiang made a phone call and checked Luo Shuangli's social relations, he would know the result immediately. However, Chen Xing didn't ask Zheng Zhongqiang to do that, because it was meaningless. Those who dared to disclose this kind of information must be sure that the information was true before they dared to come. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation.
At this moment, Chen Xing was angry as if he had been fooled. After hearing the report from Luo Shuangli and Hu Yongcheng yesterday, he thought that Liyuan had done a good job in dealing with this matter in a timely and decisive manner. He didn't expect that they still fooled him. Not to mention that Hu Yongcheng didn't know the relationship between Luo Shuangli and the demolition company, Luo Shuangli must be clear about these things, but he hid the most important information.
Boss Ni, did your friend say anything else other than that Luo Shuangli was related to the boss of the demolition company? Seeing that Chen Xing's face darkened, Zheng Zhongqiang hurriedly asked. Because Luo Shuangli was on his side, he was principled and capable. At this moment, Zheng Zhongqiang naturally wanted to protect Luo Shuangli.
Director Zheng, there's nothing else. Ni Jiali shook her head and said. However, this alone was enough to make people doubt the impartiality of the district branch. The director was related to the boss of the demolition company, so the result of the investigation wouldn't be very convincing.
Haha, Director Ni, you're right, but many things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface. Take a case for example, let's say a murder case. The real murderer has long escaped, but an innocent person was present at the scene. When the police barged in, the innocent person was the only one present. Tell me, wouldn't the first reaction of others be to think that the innocent person was the murderer? Zheng Zhongqiang smiled.
