The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival had not passed yet. They ate dumplings on the eve of the Spring Festival, paid their respects on the first day of the Spring Festival, and visited their relatives and friends on the second day of the Spring Festival. There were only a few happy days in the whole year. This year's Spring Festival had little to do with Chen Xing. Chen Xing was still as busy as usual. He returned to Hai City at night and stayed in Xi Men during the day. This was the first time that Chen Xing spent the Spring Festival at work.
During the busy time, Chen Xing was also waiting silently. It had been three to four days since the incident that night. Yao Ping had written a letter of complaint to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Until now, there was still no movement. Lee Zheng was the same as usual, his face full of smiles every day. There was nothing strange about him.
On the evening of the sixth day of the Spring Festival, Yao Ping secretly made an appointment with Chen Xing in a teahouse. As soon as they met, Yao Ping asked anxiously, "County Chen, is there a problem? Why is there still no news from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection? " Yao Ping was afraid and nervous. He had sent the letter and couldn't get it back, but Lee Zheng was still fine. Yao Ping was worried that Lee Zheng had a backer in the city to help him settle this matter. If so, Yao Ping knew that he would be in trouble. Lee Zheng was fine, but he would definitely be punished later. Yao Ping had been uneasy these days. He hoped that something would happen to Lee Zheng as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that once something happened to Lee Zheng, it would be his turn. Although Chen Xing said that he would help him, no one could tell what would happen in the end. Yao Ping was not sure at all.
"Why are you so nervous? It has only been a few days." Chen Xing comforted Yao Ping with a smile, but there was a hint of unhappiness in the depth of his eyes. "Yao Ping is really a hopeless fool. I don't know why Lee Zheng likes Yao Ping."
"I'm afraid that County Chen has someone in the city to suppress this matter. If County Chen knows that I wrote the report letter, I will really be finished." Yao Ping looked at Chen Xing anxiously. "County Chen, I can only count on you to help me."
"Don't worry. Your letter was written to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. I believe that Lee Zheng doesn't have that much power. Just wait patiently. If you really want to be anxious, I am more anxious than you. Chen Xing replied with a smile.
It was better to be safe than sorry. After all, this matter involved the Guo Li Group. Everyone knew that Zhao Guoli was the Mayor's husband. Who would dare to investigate him? If the leaders in the city saw this, they would be eager to help. Who would dare to get involved in this matter? Yao Ping still looked anxious and even a little regretful. Chen Xing frowned slightly and could only comfort him. "Let's wait for a few more days. If there is still no news in a few days, we will consider other things. Don't think too much about it. The matters in the city are not as simple as you think. Even if Zhao Guoli is the Mayor's husband, it doesn't mean that no one dares to touch this tiger's butt. A tiger bigger than the Mayor might be eager for such an opportunity."
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes slightly. Huang Kunming, the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Mayor Zhao Yiping had been fighting openly and secretly. Zhao Yiping even dared to make trouble for Zhou Mingfang, let alone Huang Kunming, the new Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Huang Kunming was not even a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. It would be even more difficult for him to suppress Zhao Yiping. The key was that Huang Kunming had only been in Hai City for a short time. Unlike Zhou Mingfang, who had been in Hai City for several years, he could easily beat Zhao Yiping and make him behave for a while. Now that Zhou Mingfang had left, Zhao Yiping had become active again. Huang Kunming was probably worried about not having a chance to beat Zhao Yiping.
"County Chen, what do you mean by this?" Yao Ping looked at Chen Xing in confusion. He didn't know much about the matters in the city, so he couldn't understand what Chen Xing meant at all.
"Don't worry. I believe that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will take action. It's just a matter of time. You'd better think about yourself first. When the time comes, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely talk to you. You should think about what to say first." Chen Xing patted Yao Ping's shoulder and said with a smile.
In fact, just when Chen Xing and Yao Ping thought that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had not taken any action, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had already taken action. Several staff members from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came to Ximen County to conduct a secret investigation. They verified some things reflected in Yao Ping's letter and confirmed whether Guo Power Group had won the bid for Plot No. 8 at the price of 341 million yuan. They also obtained the contact information of Zhao's Group and verified the price offered by Zhao's Group. When they found that there was indeed something suspicious in it, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had already started an official investigation. However, after someone found out that the chairman of Guo Power Group, Zhao Guoli, was the husband of the mayor's son, Zhao Yiping, the case suddenly came to a standstill. Liu Ping, the director of the second office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, who had instructed the staff to verify the letter, did not dare to continue the investigation. Instead, he urgently reported the situation to the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Feng Yun. Only then did Feng Yun know about the letter.
In the office, Feng Yun rubbed his teacup, and the steam from the cup floated out. On the desk in front of Feng Yun was the report letter written by Yao Ping. This letter had just been sent to his office, and Feng Yun only now knew the general situation.
Liu Ping, the director of the second office of the discipline inspection, had also reported to him in detail. After the staff found out that Zhao Guoli was the husband of the mayor, Zhao Yiping, they did not dare to continue the investigation. Liu Ping reported the situation to Feng Yun, and he naturally wanted Feng Yun to make a decision.
Looking at the letter in front of him, Feng Yun frowned and fell into deep thought. It was not that he did not know the situation in the city. As the secretary of the discipline inspection, he had never been involved in any power struggle. Whether it was when Zhou Mingfang was in office or the new secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Huang Kunming, Feng Yun only did his job well. As for other things, he did not care about them and did not ask about them. Apart from the work of discipline inspection, Feng Yun would not intervene in other things. From this point of view, Feng Yun was a cadre who adhered to his principles and bottom line. Similarly, in the eyes of others, he was a little pedantic. But from a certain point of view, this pedantic was also a manifestation of great wisdom.
At this time, Feng Yun was faced with a choice. The officials directly involved in the report letter were the Executive Deputy Head of Ximen County, Lee Zheng, and the Deputy Director of the County Land and Resources Bureau, Yao Ping. Moreover, the report letter was written by Yao Ping. It seemed that Yao Ping wanted to report Lee Zheng. Feng Yun did not have any subjective evaluation of Yao Ping's behavior, but from an objective point of view, Feng Yun thought that Yao Ping's behavior was still worthy of recognition. At least, he could recognize his mistakes in time. Of course, this was not the problem at the moment, but the report letter also involved Zhao Yiping's husband, which was not a trivial matter. This was also what Feng Yun was considering at the moment.
Feng Yun sat quietly in the office for a while. Only he knew what he was thinking. After about ten minutes, Feng Yun picked up the report letter, called his secretary to prepare a car, and headed to the Municipal Party Committee.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there was still no movement from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even Chen Xing felt strange. In the morning, when he went to work, he glanced at Lee Zheng's office. The door of Lee Zheng's office was still closed. Chen Xing did not think much about it. He basically arrived at the county earlier than Lee Zheng in the morning, so it was not strange for Lee Zheng's office to be closed.
Lee Zheng did not seem to be affected at all. If it continued to be delayed, Yao Ping would probably become more and more uneasy. Chen Xing sat in the office and thought about it. There was some worry between his eyebrows. Could it be that he should write a letter and send it directly to the Municipal Party Committee?
Chen Xing's expression brightened. Previously, he always wanted to start with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, but he forgot to directly send it to the Municipal Party Committee. It was very likely that the effect would be greater. As he thought about it, Chen Xing secretly thought of something and called Yao Ping.
'The phone you are calling is switched off.' When the voice from the other side of the phone rang, Chen Xing was stunned. It was daytime, and Yao Ping's phone was switched off?
What was Yao Ping doing? Chen Xing made a few calls in succession, but Yao Ping's phone was switched off. Frowning, Chen Xing had to give up. He could only call Yao Ping again at noon.
At noon, when Chen Xing was about to go out for lunch, he casually glanced in the direction of Lee Zheng's office. Secretary He Qi saw it and said with a smile, "Magistrate Lee has disappeared this morning. Just now, Secretary Lin told me that he had called many times but could not reach Magistrate Lee.
Magistrate Lee has disappeared this morning? Chen Xing stopped and turned to look at He Qi.
Yes, I just met Secretary Lin. He said that Magistrate Lee could not reach the leader all morning, so he wanted to give himself a holiday. He Qi nodded in a daze. Chen Xing's reaction was a little too big, which was really beyond his expectation.
Oh, is that so? Chen Xing smiled. It's nothing. Secretary He, you can go and eat first. I suddenly thought of something, so I need to go back to the office.
After closing the office door, Chen Xing paced back and forth in a hurry. He waved his fist fiercely. Chen Xing looked a little excited. Lee Zheng had not been seen all morning, and his phone could not be reached. Yao Ping's phone was also switched off. If he guessed correctly, both of them should have been taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Chen Xing told himself to calm down. It was not the time to be happy yet.
Yao Ping came back in the afternoon. When he turned on his phone, all the calls were from Chen Xing. Yao Ping returned Chen Xing's call, and the two arranged to meet at the usual place.
Yao Ping felt lucky to have survived a disaster. Not many people who were taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection could come out alive. Yao Ping was lucky to be one of them. Of course, this had something to do with the fact that the Commission for Discipline Inspection only wanted to talk to Yao Ping. When Chen Xing came out of the county government, he took a look at Lee Zheng's office. Lee Zheng's office door was still closed. Yao Ping was back, but Lee Zheng was not. What did this mean? Everything was developing in the direction that Chen Xing had hoped for.
After talking to you, the Commission for Discipline Inspection only asked you about the land bidding? Chen Xing asked Yao Ping to confirm the doubts in his heart. Seeing Yao Ping nod his head, Chen Xing immediately smiled and said, "Director Yao, looks like you're fine this time. Congratulations, you don't have to worry anymore."
I hope you are fine, but this matter is not over yet. I am afraid that there will be more accidents in the end. Yao Ping was still a little worried, but there was more joy on his face. After the Commission for Discipline Inspection asked him to come back, it meant that he was safe this time. At this moment, Yao Ping was secretly glad that he listened to Chen Xing.
When he was telling the truth, he tried his best to clear his name. As a Deputy Director, he could not disobey the order of Lee Zheng, the Executive Deputy County Head. In the end, he violated the land bidding procedure. These days, he could not eat or sleep well. After realizing his mistake, he decided to report it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. This was the version that Yao Ping told the staff of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He became an "innocent" person who deeply realized his mistake.
County Chen, this matter is also related to the Guo Power Group. Do you think it will be a big deal? Yao Ping looked at Chen Xing worriedly. His fearful character was once again vividly reflected. Chen Xing was in a good mood at this time, so he did not care about it. He smiled and said, "Even if it is a big deal, it is not something that we can intervene in. You can rest assured."
In the office of the Municipal Party Committee, Huang Kunming, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Huang Kunming stood quietly in front of the window with his hands behind his back. He squinted his eyes and stared into the distance. There were many tall buildings in the city. Huang Kunming looked over and saw a mountain shrouded in clouds. It was winter and the mountain was foggy. From afar, it looked like the legendary Celestial Mountain.
That was the famous Ning Yun Mountain of Hai City. It was located in the urban area of Hai City. On weekends, there was an endless stream of people climbing the mountain. There was a Ning Yun Temple on the mountain, where people worshiped the Immortals in the temple. It was said that the Immortals would show their spirit and bless those who prayed for a child would be satisfied, those who prayed for marriage would be satisfied, and those who prayed for promotion and wealth would be proud. Huang Kunming's secretary, Zhao Bin, was brought over from Ancheng City. Zhao Bin had been to Hai City for a few days to understand the situation and heard about the magic of Ning Yun Mountain. It was said that whether it was foreign officials who came to Hai City or local officials of Hai City, as long as they changed their posts, they would climb Ning Yun Mountain and worship the Ning Yun Temple on the mountain, praying for a smooth new job. As soon as Huang Kunming arrived in Hai City, Zhao Bin told Huang Kunming about the magical Ning Yun Mountain and suggested that Huang Kunming also go to the temple on the mountain to worship. Huang Kunming smiled and rebuked it as nonsense.
Looking into the distance, Huang Kunming's lips curled into a slight smile. It was rare to see such an expression ever since he arrived in Haicheng. Calculating the time, he had been in Haicheng for about three months. It was not easy for him to be the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. From Ancheng City, which was located in the inland of Jianghai Province, to Haicheng City, the coastal city, Huang Kunming's transfer this time should be extremely beneficial for his official career. With the experience of governing a developed coastal city, it would be beneficial for his future promotion, especially when the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Mingfang, was still a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. This also allowed Huang Kunming to see the route that he was likely to take in the future. He would first become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and then use this as a springboard to enter the Provincial Party Committee. Zhou Mingfang had already set an example for him. Of course, it was still unknown whether he could achieve his official career as Zhou Mingfang, but at least he was not without hope in the future.
Huang Kunming's good mood today came from the report letter that Feng Yun, the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, sent to him yesterday afternoon. The letter mentioned the black box manipulation in the land bidding, Li Zheng, the Executive Deputy Head of Ximen County, Yao Ping, the Deputy Director of the County Land and Resources Bureau, etc. Huang Kunming did not pay much attention to these people. These people were not worthy of his personal attention. What really caught Huang Kunming's attention was the situation mentioned by Feng Yun. The chairman of the Guo Li Group was the husband of Zhao Yiping. Huang Kunming had learned a little about Zhao Yiping's power in the short three months he spent in Haicheng. She was a strong woman, but she was also very scheming. She would do anything to achieve her goals.
Huang Kunming could more or less guess what backing Zhao Yiping had. Although Zhao Yiping's in-laws, Sun Zhihe, was the Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, this was not the real reason why Huang Kunming was afraid. What Huang Kunming feared was the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming. Zhao Yiping's transfer from the Deputy Mayor of Jiangcheng City to the Mayor of Haicheng City had more or less the shadow of Ge Jian-ming in it. Sun Zhihe was only the Executive Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, so he could not intervene in the appointment of cadres at this level. Ge Jian-ming was the real key factor in this.
This time, the report letter sent by Feng Yun was undoubtedly a gun to Huang Kunming. Although this gun was not enough to bring down Zhao Yiping, it could at least make Zhao Yiping restrain himself a little. Huang Kunming did not expect that a report letter involving the Guo Li Group would be able to cause any serious impact on Zhao Yiping. However, at least Huang Kunming, who had been holding back for a long time, could let out a sigh of relief.
There was a knock on the door. It was Huang Kunming's secretary, Zhao Bin, who entered. The Secretary and Minister Yuan had arrived.
Huang Kunming turned around and nodded at Zhao Bin. After Zhao Bin walked out, the Minister of the Organization Department, Yuan Jiang, walked in. Huang Kunming smiled and walked over. Comrade Yuan Jiang, have a seat.
Yuan Jiang sat down on the sofa. Compared to the last time Chen Xing saw him, Yuan Jiang had lost some weight. Chen Xing did not know if he really had something on his mind. From the mental state that he unintentionally revealed, Yuan Jiang could see that there was some worry between his brows. However, at present, Yuan Jiang still maintained a good mental state in front of others.
Looking at Huang Kunming, who sat opposite him, Yuan Jiang guessed why Huang Kunming had called him here.
Comrade Yuan Jiang, I called you here today because I want to ask for your opinion on something. Huang Kunming smiled and looked at Yuan Jiang. Someone reported that Li Zheng of Ximen County had violated the rules. Now that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has been involved in the investigation, Li Zheng can no longer be in charge of the Ximen County government. Do you have any suggestions?
Li Zheng of Ximen County? Yuan Jiang was stunned for a moment. He was a little lost in thought.
Comrade Yuan Jiang, Comrade Yuan Jiang. Huang Kunming looked at Yuan Jiang doubtfully. After calling him twice, Yuan Jiang seemed to suddenly wake up and waved his hands. Secretary Huang, sorry, sorry. I was a little distracted just now.
Haha, it's okay. Comrade Yuan Jiang, don't just wear yourself out for work. You should take more rest when it's time to rest. Huang Kunming glanced at the increasingly thick white hair on Yuan Jiang's head and said with concern.
It's okay. I have a lot of time to rest every day. Yuan Jiang smiled and pondered for a moment. Then he suggested, Secretary Huang, should the work of the Ximen County government be presided over by the deputy county magistrate, Comrade Chen Xing?
Chen Xing? Huang Kunming repeated the name, and his eyes lit up. Was it Chen Xing, who had been Minister Mingfang's secretary before?
Seeing Yuan Jiang nodding his head, Huang Kunming could not help but blame himself for forgetting about such a person. Given the relationship between Chen Xing and Zhou Mingfang, this was a good card to play, but he actually forgot about this person.
If I remember correctly, Chen Xing has only been in Ximen County for a few months, right? Huang Kunming looked at Yuan Jiang and said with a smile.
It's about the same time as you arrived in Sea City. Yuan Jiang nodded with a smile. Comrade Chen Xing is quite capable. He should be competent to preside over the county government.
Since he can be chosen by Minister Mingfang and you, he can't be wrong. Huang Kunming smiled and nodded thoughtfully.
Li Zheng had become a victim in the battle between Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping. Huang Kunming could not do anything to Zhao Yiping at the moment, but Li Zheng was just a deputy county magistrate. Huang Kunming did not have to worry about anything at all. He did not believe that Zhao Yiping would dare to quarrel with him over this matter. At present, Zhao Yiping did not know about this matter. Huang Kunming was thinking about how to use this matter to knock Zhao Yiping down.
Slightly distracted, Huang Kunming looked at Yuan Jiang, who was waiting for his reply, and said with a smile, "Then according to your proposal, let Comrade Chen Xing preside over the work of the Ximen County government. Now the Central Committee has been encouraging us to vigorously cultivate and promote young cadres. I think we should also let young comrades like Chen Xing take on more responsibilities and cultivate talents for the future cause of our Party."
Huang Kunming paused for a moment and then said, "In this case, let Comrade Chen Xing be the deputy secretary of the Ximen County Party Committee and preside over the county government. What do you think?
I agree with Secretary Huang's opinion. " Hearing Huang Kunming's approval, Yuan Jiang immediately agreed. He was originally speaking up for Chen Xing, so naturally, he nodded quickly.
"Okay, then go and implement this matter as soon as possible. The work of the county government can't be without someone to preside over it. When the time comes, go to Ximen County in person." Huang Kunming said to Yuan Jiang with a smile.
