Seeing Luo Shuangli's expression, Zheng Zhongqiang sighed helplessly. Without Luo Shuangli's answer, he already knew the answer. Shaking his head, Zheng Zhongqiang sighed, "Shuangli, confess your mistake to Mayor Chen. As for the case, the Municipal Bureau will take it over."
"Director Zheng, if I say that I didn't bend the law for personal gain, will you believe me? Luo Shuangli replied in a dry voice.
"I believe you, but the key is whether Mayor Chen believes you or not. You didn't confess to Mayor Chen before, which has already left a bad impression on him. Now you want Mayor Chen to believe you. What can you do to make him believe you? " Zheng Zhongqiang looked at Luo Shuangli.
Zheng Zhongqiang's words made Luo Shuangli speechless. He had no friendship with Chen Xing, let alone any interaction between them. If it weren't for this incident, Chen Xing might not even remember his name as the director of the district branch. In the eyes of a cadre like Chen Xing, a director of a district branch was just a nobody. Moreover, they didn't know each other before this, so how could he make Chen Xing trust him?
"Director Zheng, I can only say that I really didn't bend the law for personal gain. Although I concealed my relationship with Shi Ming, I didn't intervene in the investigation of this case from beginning to end." Luo Shuangli said bitterly. At this time, he could only say it to Zheng Zhongqiang. Only Zheng Zhongqiang would believe him.
Seeing Zheng Zhongqiang looking at him in confusion, Luo Shuangli suddenly understood and hurriedly added, "Shi Ming is the boss of the demolition company. He is my nephew."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhongqiang nodded and said, "Shuangli, I trust you, but others don't. So if you want to prove your innocence, you can only speak with facts. After the case is investigated, if it proves that you didn't bend the law for personal gain, I think it will be the most powerful proof. At that time, I will also help you talk to Mayor Chen. I believe he won't make things difficult for you."
"Director Zheng, thank you." Luo Shuangli smiled bitterly. After a moment of silence, Luo Shuangli asked, "Director Zheng, can I ask you a question? How do you know that I have a relationship with the demolition company?
Don't ask this question. Zheng Zhongqiang waved his hand and glanced at Luo Shuangli. As long as he was upright and upright, he would not be afraid of being attacked from behind.
After Zheng Zhongqiang said this, he stood up. The purpose of coming to the Liyuan branch today was to ask Luo Shuangli face to face. Now that he had achieved his goal, Zheng Zhongqiang didn't want to stay any longer.
There was no doubt that Zheng Zhongqiang was somewhat disappointed by the results of the inquiry. However, Zheng Zhongqiang could not completely ignore Luo Shuangli. Otherwise, he would not have come here personally today. After all, the two of them had been friends for more than 20 years.
When Zheng Zhongqiang returned to the city, he was not in a hurry to report to Chen Xing. Before the investigation of the case was over, it was not suitable for him to say anything to defend Luo Shuangli. It was better to wait for the case to be cleared up before looking for Chen Xing.
In the evening, Chen Xing was sitting in his office. Seeing that it was time to get off work, Chen Xing could not sit still. This afternoon, he had sent a text message to Zeng Jing, but he had not received a reply yet. This made Chen Xing a little absent-minded. Thinking that it was already time to get off work, Chen Xing hesitated for a long time before calling Zeng Jing.
After the call was made, Chen Xing frowned slightly as he listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone. He was not sure whether Zeng Jing would answer his call.
Perhaps she would not answer it. Chen Xing sighed.
As Chen Xing expected, the phone rang for a long time and finally hung up automatically. Zeng Jing did not answer the phone.
Chen Xing smiled bitterly. This time, it seemed that Zeng Jing was really determined to maintain an ordinary friendship with him.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Xing did not call again. He put the phone on the table and thought about where to have dinner tonight. Today, he sat in the office for a whole day and was a little tired. Obviously, Chen Xing did not want to stay to work overtime at night, so he was ready to leave at about six o 'clock.
In fact, as the mayor, Chen Xing had many social engagements to attend to. The stack of invitations on the table was pushed aside by him. They were all invitations from local chambers of commerce or associations. There were also many invitations from the CEOs of enterprises. However, Chen Xing was too lazy to attend them. As the mayor, it could be said that he had the least social engagements, because Chen Xing had declined all the dinner engagements that he could refuse.
Raising his hand to look at the time, Chen Xing was about to ask Yu Zhiyuan to look for a more authentic farm food restaurant when the phone on the table rang. Picking up the phone and looking at the number, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. The call was from Zhang Ran. Although this name existed in his phone's address book, the number of times they had contacted each other could be counted on one hand. The last time they contacted each other, Chen Xing could not remember how long ago it was. Was it two or three years ago? If he remembered correctly, the last time they met was when he went back to attend a class reunion organized by Huang Ming during the Chinese New Year. That was also a long time ago.
Without deliberately hanging up the phone, Chen Xing picked up the phone calmly.
"Chen Xing, are you free to have dinner together tonight?" At the other end of the phone, Zhang Ran's voice sounded first.
"You are in Jiang City?" Chen Xing raised his eyebrows.
"Is it strange that I am in Jiang City? My home is here. It is normal for me to be in Jiang City. " Zhang Ran giggled.
"Okay, tell me a place." Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
"How about Jiang City Hotel? I will book a private room." Zhang Ran smiled.
"Okay." "Well, then you have to come quickly. I am almost there."
Zhang Ran's voice did not treat Chen Xing as an outsider at all. Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Chen Xing frowned slightly. He did not say anything and hung up the phone.
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Chen Xing frowned slightly. He did not say anything and hung up the phone.
Towards Zhang Ran, Chen Xing's feelings were very complicated. He definitely did not have any feelings for her. However, Zhang Ran obviously did not get along well with him, but when Zhang Ran called him, she acted as if nothing had happened. This made Chen Xing very speechless.
Putting away his phone, Chen Xing left the office and took a car to Jiang City Hotel.
Before the car arrived at the hotel, Chen Xing received another call from Zhang Ran. This time, Zhang Ran did not say much and just told him the number of the private room.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Xing met Zhang Ran in the luxury private room on the top floor of the hotel. Zhang Ran, who was wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, looked the same as before. Except for a little more charming and mature, Zhang Ran was not much different from when she had just graduated. Her skin was still fair and there was no wrinkle on her face.
In fact, this was not surprising. A woman like Zhang Ran was used to living a pampered life and had never suffered. She did not need to worry about daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. In addition, she was good at taking care of herself. It was not surprising that her skin did not deteriorate with age.
She came quite quickly. Zhang Ran looked at Chen Xing with a smile and took the initiative to come over and pull out a chair for Chen Xing.
