It was a quiet night. The next day, Chen Xing came to work at the Municipal Government on time. Everything was the same as usual. It was as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Chen Xing was going to Zhaoliang County today. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Chinese Herbal Medicine Base in Zhaoliang County was going to be held today. Chen Xing was invited by the county to attend the event. The Chinese Herbal Medicine Base was a project promoted by Wu Gang after he became the County Magistrate. It was also a project that Zhaoliang County focused on based on its own actual situation. Centering on the idea of building a "Capital of Chinese Herbal Medicine", the county would make use of the rich Chinese herbal medicine resources in the county to focus on developing the herbal medicine economy. Thus, the Chinese Herbal Medicine Base project came into being.
Because this was a project promoted by Wu Gang, Chen Xing naturally had to show respect to Wu Gang and attend the groundbreaking ceremony in person. This was also the reason why Chen Xing had agreed to attend when Wu Gang had this idea at the beginning.
At around 10 o 'clock in the morning, Chen Xing arrived in the county. Without any delay, he went to the project site with Wu Gang and other county leaders to attend the groundbreaking ceremony directly.
Wu Gang, who had been promoted to the County Party Secretary, gave a speech at the ceremony. As the Mayor, Chen Xing also made a short speech. He hoped that the leaders of Zhaoliang County would fully combine their own advantages, play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, explore a development path that was suitable for them, and lead the people to get out of poverty and become rich as soon as possible.
After attending the groundbreaking ceremony, it was close to 11 o 'clock. Wu Gang warmly invited Chen Xing to stay for lunch. Of course, Chen Xing agreed. According to the original schedule, Chen Xing was actually going to visit Zhaoliang County this afternoon and would only return to the city tomorrow. However, because of the incident with Zeng Jing, Chen Xing asked the government office to inform the county and changed the original schedule. After lunch, he would return to the city.
Wu Gang, who had been promoted to the County Party Secretary, was in high spirits, especially when Chen Xing came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony today. In the eyes of others, it was Wu Gang who invited Chen Xing, the Mayor, with his own strength. Therefore, he thought more highly of Wu Gang, the County Party Secretary. Many leaders in the county already knew that Secretary Wu, who had been promoted from the County Magistrate to the County Party Secretary not long after he came to Zhaoliang, was favored by the Mayor and had a good relationship with the Mayor. This also made Wu Gang's position in the county unprecedentedly stable. Now, as the County Party Secretary, almost all his words carried enormous weight.
Wu Gang still didn't know about the incident with Zeng Jing. He was quite dissatisfied with the sudden change of Chen Xing's itinerary. When walking into the hotel side by side with Chen Xing, Wu Gang whispered to Chen Xing, "Chen Xing, what's going on? Is there any urgent matter in the city? Otherwise, why did you suddenly leave? When the Municipal Government Office informed our county in the morning, I thought there was a mistake. After confirming it repeatedly, I confirmed that there was no mistake."
"Yes, there is something." Chen Xing smiled. "Anyway, I can arrange time to visit your Zhaoliang County at any time. There will be more opportunities in the future. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm just wondering why you suddenly changed your itinerary. As a Mayor, your itinerary should have been arranged one or two weeks in advance. Such a sudden change is a little strange." Wu Gang shook his head and smiled.
Hearing Wu Gang's puzzled words, Chen Xing smiled and said nothing. It was useless to tell Wu Gang about the incident with Zeng Jing. Wu Gang couldn't help and would only worry about him. Therefore, Chen Xing simply didn't mention it to Wu Gang. The reason why he rushed back to the city was that he could only be at ease if he personally took charge of the city. Moreover, he had to discuss with Zheng Zhongqiang about Jiang Yi that Zeng Jing mentioned.
After lunch, Chen Xing returned to the city. It was a two-hour journey. When he returned to the city, it was already past two o 'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he arrived at the office, the Government Office received a call from the Municipal Party Committee. Yu Zhiyuan received the news and immediately came to inform Chen Xing, "Mayor, Secretary Zhang asked if you have time now and asked you to go over."
"Really?" Chen Xing frowned. Why did Zhang Yiping ask him to go over?
"Tell them that I'll go over now." Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. He wondered if Zhang Yiping wanted to see him at this time because of the incident with Zeng Jing.
The more Chen Xing thought about it, the more likely it was. As far as he knew, Zhang Yiping was on Zhou Zhiming's side, just like Lin Gang. Since they were on the same side, it was not strange for them to be close. Moreover, he also knew that Lin Mao and Zhang Ran were quite familiar with each other, which meant that Lin Gang and Zhang Yiping had a lot of private contacts. It was very likely that Lin Gang had told Zhang Yiping about the incident with Zeng Jing.
With doubts, Chen Xing came to the Municipal Party Committee. Zhang Yiping was still smiling warmly. Seeing Chen Xing, she stood up and greeted him with a smile. "Mayor Chen is here. Please take a seat."
"I've just come back from Zhaoliang County. I heard that Secretary Yiping wants to see me. What can I do for you? "asked Chen Xing directly after sitting down.
I knew that you would come back from Zhaoliang in the afternoon, so I asked the office to call you. Zhang Yiping smiled and sat down opposite Chen Xing, pretending to be concerned. "You've been rushing back and forth for half a day. You must be tired.
I'm not tired. At my age, if I said I was tired, I would be too ashamed to show my face in front of those old comrades in their fifties and sixties. " Chen Xing smiled calmly.
"That's right. Mayor Chen, you're still young and energetic." Zhang Yiping nodded with a smile.
"Secretary Yiping, why did you call me here? Just tell me what you want." Chen Xing smiled. He didn't like Zhang Yiping beating around the bush. Maybe it was because he didn't have a good impression of Zhang Yiping in the first place.
"Mayor Chen, here's the thing. The Provincial Department reported that Zeng Jing, the director of the Liyuan Branch, might be involved in a murder case. The Provincial Department wants to file a case against Zeng Jing and suggests that we remove Zeng Jing from his position." Zhang Yiping told him what she wanted.
"Remove Zeng Jing from his position? "Secretary Yiping, the Provincial Department said that Zeng Jing is involved in a murder case. Do you have any solid evidence? If it's just some vague accusations or no solid evidence, I don't think it's appropriate for us to remove the director of a branch so hastily. " Chen Xing frowned. As he expected, Lin Gang told Zhang Yiping about the case and asked her to help him. The first step was to remove Zeng Jing from his position.
"Mayor Chen, since the Provincial Department has made this request, I think they must have some solid evidence. We're not experts in handling cases, so we don't need to question the authority of the Provincial Department." Zhang Yiping glanced at Chen Xing and said calmly.
