After a pleasant day in Nanzhou, on Sunday night, Chen Xing once again took an overnight flight back to Jiang City. Although the hasty journey made him a little tired, Chen Xing felt a load off his mind.
Thinking of his daughter's adorable little face, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile.
It was a quiet night. The next day, Chen Xing came to the office as usual.
Fang Pingping, the boss of the Municipal Performing Arts Group, was waiting outside Chen Xing's office early in the morning. Seeing Chen Xing coming, Fang Pingping greeted him with a smile. Mayor Chen, you're early.
You said I'm early, but you're even earlier than me. Boss Fang, you're waiting outside my office so early in the morning. Don't tell me you're up to no good again. Chen Xing glanced at Fang Pingping with a smile.
Mayor Chen, listen to what you're saying. When did I come to see you for bad things? Fang Pingping pretended to be unhappy. Her angry look was quite charming.
You're right. It's not good for you to come to the office of the municipal leaders often. Many of the municipal leaders are afraid of you. Take Comrade Zheng Liang for example. When he sees you, he gets a headache. Chen Xing replied with a smile.
That was in the past. Now go and ask Mayor Zheng Liang. Let's see if he gets a headache when he sees me. Fang Pingping smiled. "Mayor Chen, I came here early today to give you an invitation. I'm inviting you to attend the Golden Tripod Awards Gala that will be held in Rivertown this Friday. This is a big event."
The award gala is this Friday night?
That's right. Didn't I report this to you last time? You even asked me to prepare well and cooperate with the Publicity Department to do a good job in promoting the Golden Tripod Award in Jiang City and to promote Jiang City. Fang Pingping smiled. I knew that Mayor Chen was a busy person. You would have forgotten about it the moment you turned around. I was right. If I didn't make this trip today, you probably wouldn't even know that the gala would be held on Friday night.
If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have remembered. Chen Xing nodded with a smile. "Time flies. When did we apply for the Golden Tripod Awards to be held in Jiang City? Time flies by in the blink of an eye."
That's right. It's all thanks to you, Mayor Chen, that this event could be held in our Rivertown. Fang Pingping nodded. Mayor, you have to attend this Friday's evening party. After all, this is also a grand event.
Sigh, this is indeed a grand event, but this is a grand event of the entertainment industry. Why should I, a mayor, join in the fun? As long as you use this event to promote the city well, it will be considered a satisfactory result.
The two of them walked into the office as they talked. Chen Xing gestured for Fang Pingping to sit by herself and asked Yu Zhiyuan to pour a glass of water for her.
Mayor, this is a grand event in the entertainment circle. It's not strange for a mayor like you to attend. It's held in Jiangcheng City. As the host city's chief official, it's normal for you to attend the gala. It's not like you're going to present an award. What are you worried about? Besides, if you attend, the Golden Tripod Awards Association will also feel proud. Fang Pingping said with a smile and tried her best to invite Chen Xing to attend.
How about this? You put down the invitation first. I'll go back and check the arrangements for this week. I'll ask Secretary Yu to give you an answer in two days. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor, I'll wait for your good news. If you don't attend, I'll come to bother you in two days. If you don't want to see me, I'll really block the office door. Fang Pingping smiled sweetly.
Boss Fang, when can you stop using this trick? Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Mayor, think about it. I'm a weak woman running such a large entertainment group and I need the support of the leaders of the city. If I don't act like a rascal, can I get more support from the city? Fang Pingping suddenly pretended to be pitiful. Mayor, it's not that I want to act like a rascal, but I really have no other way.
Seeing Fang Pingping doing this again, Chen Xing smiled helplessly. This woman's every frown and smile were full of charm. She also knew how to make full use of her advantages. It was really hard to be angry with her.
After sending Fang Pingping away, Chen Xing looked at the arrangements for today and turned to ask Yu Zhiyuan, "Yu, how's the political program prepared by the city TV station?
It's in progress and will probably be released in one or two weeks. Mayor, are you sure you want to be the first to go on the program to be questioned by the people? " Yu Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xing.
Of course, I can't go back on my words. Besides, as the mayor, if I don't go on the program to set an example, I'm afraid this program will be really difficult. Chen Xing smiled. Only if I go on the program in person can I let everyone know that this program is not just a formality. We want the people to really participate in the supervision of the city's various functional departments.
Mayor, you're really bold. Yu Zhiyuan flattered Chen Xing with a smile. Seeing that Chen Xing was in a good mood, Yu Zhiyuan couldn't help but say, "Mayor, have you heard that Zhang Yiping's daughter was also taken away by the Procuratorate?"
When did it happen? Chen Xing was stunned.
Just yesterday. It was said that she was taken away from the Jiangcheng Hotel. Many people saw it and it suddenly became an uproar. Yu Zhiyuan said.
Hearing this, Chen Xing was in a daze. Yesterday was Sunday. He was in Nanzhou, so it was no wonder that he didn't know. However, even if he was in Jiangcheng, if no one reported to him in time, he might not have known.
A trace of pity flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. He didn't expect that something would really happen to Zhang Ran. Since he knew that Zhang Yiping was in trouble, Chen Xing guessed that Zhang Guoli and Zhang Ran, father and daughter, might also be in trouble. They might not be involved in the spy case of Zhang Yiping, but Zhang Guoli had been using the power of his wife, Zhang Yiping, to make his business flourish. How much money and power were involved in this? Was there any benefit transfer involved?
Chen Xing didn't want to explore it before, and he didn't want to think too much about it. However, after Zhang Yiping was in trouble, Zhang Guoli was quickly taken away by the people of the Provincial Procuratorate, which already showed that Zhang Guoli was also in trouble. Now, even Zhang Ran was in trouble. This completely proved a problem that Chen Xing didn't want to think about before. After all, Zhang Ran fell into the hands of his mother's power. Over the years, Zhang Ran must have used his mother's power to gain personal benefits. From the fact that Zhang Ran took the initiative to ask him to help others get land, this could be seen.
