When they returned to the hotel, it was already 12 o 'clock. After making an appointment to meet tomorrow, Cheng Rongjiang went home first. Chen Xing looked at the time. It was already early in the morning, so Chen Xing didn't plan to find Jiang Wan, in case he woke her up at such a late hour.
At nine o 'clock the next morning, Cheng Rongjiang drove over to pick up Chen Xing. They went to a club in the city and waited for Yao Mingliang.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, Yao Mingliang also came in a hurry. Knowing that he was going to meet Chen Xing today, Yao Wenliang didn't dare to be negligent, so he came on time.
Yao Jian, this is Mayor Chen. I don't need to introduce him. In the private room of the club, Cheng Rongjiang introduced him to Yao Mingliang with a smile.
There's no need for that. I've long heard of Mayor Chen's name. Yao Mingliang said with a smile.
Mayor Chen, this is the city attorney, Yao Mingliang. Cheng Rongjiang also introduced him to Chen Xing.
Both of them shook hands and exchanged greetings before taking their seats. Yao Mingliang's demeanor was more or less humble. Although Chen Xing was not his superior and had no authority over him, there was a difference in their ranks. Although Nanzhou was also a provincial capital, it was only a prefecture-level city. Therefore, as the city's chief prosecutor, he was only at the deputy department level while Chen Xing, the mayor of Jiangcheng City, was at the deputy ministerial level. The difference in ranks forced Yao Mingliang to show the proper respect when facing Chen Xing.
The reason why Yao Mingliang asked Cheng Rongjiang to meet Chen Xing was not that he had any conditions to propose to Chen Xing, but he simply wanted to get to know Chen Xing and make friends with him. As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the more opportunities you have. Whether it was in the business world or the government, as long as you were in society, no one would complain about having more friends. You might need them someday.
If Yao Mingliang had a chance to make friends with someone of Chen Xing's caliber, he would not miss it. Although Chen Xing had nothing to do with him at the moment, there might come a day when he might need his help in the future.
Mayor Chen, Rong Jiang asked me about Zhu Yunlai's case. I heard from him that Zhu Yunlai is your friend? Yao Mingliang took the initiative to talk about Zhu Yunlai's case. He knew that this was the real reason why Chen Xing was willing to meet him. Otherwise, Chen Xing really didn't need to give him face. Therefore, Yao Mingliang didn't dare to waste any more of Chen Xing's time. He directly talked about what Chen Xing was concerned about.
Rong Jiang was right, Lao Zhu was indeed my friend. Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He called Zhu Yunlai "Lao Zhu" in front of Yao Mingliang. He believed that as long as Zhu Yunlai was not stupid, he would understand the meaning of this title.
Sure enough, when Yao Mingliang heard Chen Xing's words, his heart skipped a beat. He secretly thought that the relationship between Mayor Chen and Zhu Yunlai was really different. If he still had any doubts before, now that he heard Chen Xing calling Zhu Yunlai, Yao Mingliang's doubts in his heart completely disappeared.
Mayor Chen, the case that Zhu Yunlai was involved in could be big or small. It could be said to be serious, but in fact, it was not serious. It just depended on whether people were willing to take it seriously or not. In fact, according to our current national conditions, as long as they could do business, how many businessmen dared to say that they had never been bribed? This was the original sin of capital. In fact, it was also a process of colluding with power. Yao Mingliang shook his head and smiled. Therefore, if people really wanted to take it seriously, those businessmen could be arrested. The final result was that there were too many people, and it was impossible to catch all of them even if they wanted to.
Yao Mingliang's words sounded a bit shocking, but Chen Xing and Cheng Rongjiang were both smart people. Naturally, they knew that these words were actually not exaggerated at all. In the early days of the reform and opening up, there were too many loopholes in the law. At that time, there were also too many people who stepped on the edge of the gray area and quickly accumulated their first bucket of gold.
Yao Jian, from what you said, it seems that someone is deliberately targeting Zhu Yunlai? Chen Xing had already heard some of the situation from Cheng Rongjiang before. Now that he heard these words from Yao Mingliang, Chen Xing could completely understand the deeper meaning of the other party's words.
Well, I have understood the situation in detail. This case does have some secrets. Someone in our Procuratorate deliberately wants to handle Zhu Yunlai's case. Yao Mingliang nodded.
Yao Jian, if that's the case, then as the chief prosecutor, you can't just ignore it, right? Cheng Rongjiang glanced at Chen Xing. At this time, it was time for him to speak. It was obviously not appropriate for Chen Xing to speak directly.
Since Zhu Yunlai is Mayor Chen's friend, of course, I can't just ignore it. Yao Mingliang responded with a smile. Mayor Chen, in fact, it's not impossible for me to directly suppress the case, but I'm afraid this case has something to do with Deputy Mayor Zhu. Yao Mingliang calmly glanced at Chen Xing.
Mingliang, as the chief prosecutor, you are also a deputy director. It's not up to a deputy mayor to order you around. Cheng Rongjiang calmly smiled.
Rongjiang, listen to what you said. Although I am not afraid of him, there is no need to offend him. Of course, that was in the past. Now that I know that Zhu Yunlai is Mayor Chen's friend, I definitely can't just sit back and do nothing. Yao Mingliang said confidently. He deliberately said this in front of Chen Xing. In fact, it was nothing more than to sell a favor to Chen Xing.
Then, thank you, Yao Jian. I will remember this favor. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor Chen, you are too polite. The smile on Yao Mingliang's face became brighter. It was nice to talk with people who understood.
By the way, does this Deputy Mayor Zhu have a son named Zhu Zhiping? Chen Xing suddenly asked.
Zhu Zhiping? Yao Mingliang frowned and then shook his head. Mayor Chen, I really don't know the name of Deputy Mayor Zhu's son, but there is only one Deputy Mayor surnamed Zhu in the city.
After hearing Yao Mingliang's words, Chen Xing nodded his head and said with a smile, "Alright, I understand. When Zhu Yunlai comes out, I will ask him to prepare a feast of good wine and food for him to thank you properly."
Mayor Chen, what you said is wrong. Zhu Yunlai should thank you. Yao Mingliang smiled.
No matter who he should thank, he can't run away from the meal. Chen Xing smiled. While speaking, Chen Xing raised his hand and looked at the time.
Seeing Chen Xing's job, Yao Mingliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Mayor Chen, you are also a busy man. I will not disturb you. I also need to go back to deal with Zhu Yunlai's case. Let's meet again another day when we are free.
Okay, Yao Jian will go back first. Chen Xing nodded with a smile and looked at Yao Mingliang. No need to wait for another day. If Zhu Yunlai comes out today, we will make him bleed tonight. We have to eat him.
