Chen Xing was lost in thought for a while. Yu Zhiyuan saw that this topic had aroused Chen Xing's interest, so he continued. Mayor, it seemed that the Provincial Procuratorate had been keeping an eye on Zhang Guoli and his daughter for a long time. It had only been a few days since they took action, and they were arrested at the same time.
"Power can make people fall." Chen Xing sighed with emotion. If Zhang Yiping was just an ordinary civil servant, perhaps their family would live an ordinary and happy life now, and they would not be reduced to this situation today.
"Mayor, your words hit the nail on the head. Power can easily make people fall." Yu Zhiyuan also sighed with emotion. Take him as Chen Xing's secretary for example. With the halo of the mayor's secretary, Yu Zhiyuan also had invisible power in his hands. If he had not been born in a rich family like the Yu Family, which did not lack money, Yu Zhiyuan suspected that he would also be corrupted.
As Yu Zhiyuan said, he glanced at Chen Xing carefully. "Mayor, it's strange that Zhang Guoli and Zhang Ran have been taken away by the Provincial Procuratorate, but there is no news about Secretary Zhang Yiping. I heard that someone wanted to contact her, but she couldn't be contacted. I don't know where she is."
"Don't worry about other people's business. Just do your own work." Chen Xing waved his hand. Zhang Yiping was involved in the espionage case, and now she must be under the control of the security department. No wonder there was no news. Only when the security department figured out the problem, other violations of laws and regulations involving Zhang Yiping would be handed over to the discipline inspection department. Now Zhang Yiping's matter was still confidential, so Chen Xing naturally would not disclose it at will.
After talking with Yu Zhiyuan for a while, Chen Xing frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, Chen Xing finally said, "Yu, go and find out which detention center Zhang Ran is in."
"Mayor, do you want to …?" Yu Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xing in surprise. He did not know the past of Chen Xing and the Zhang Family, nor did he know that Chen Xing and Zhang Ran had a relationship. Now hearing that Chen Xing wanted to find out which detention center Zhang Ran was in, he could imagine his surprise.
Just go and ask around, don't ask so many questions. Chen Xing said in a low voice.
Alright, I'll go ask. Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
Watching Yu Zhiyuan leave, Chen Xing thought about Zhang Ran for a while. In the end, he didn't bother to think about it anymore. Zhang Ran's fate could only be summed up in one sentence: he deserved it.
Soon, it was Friday. On Friday, Jiang City was full of stars. The annual Golden Tripod Awards ceremony was held in Jiang City. This was one of the most prestigious film awards in the entertainment industry. Therefore, the annual Golden Tripod Awards ceremony was a grand event in the entertainment industry. In addition to the celebrities whose works were nominated for the award ceremony, many A-list stars were also invited to attend the ceremony. As for the B-list and B-list stars who did not have their works nominated and were not qualified to be invited to the ceremony, there were also many people who came to the ceremony to freeload on the red carpet.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth. In the evening, Jiang City seemed to be covered with a golden veil.
Tonight's award ceremony was held in the auditorium of Jiang City. In the afternoon, cameras were set up outside the auditorium. Entertainment reporters from all over the country surrounded the empty space on both sides of the red carpet. On the other side of the auditorium, including the two sides of the road at the entrance of the auditorium, a dense crowd gathered. They were all star-chasers who had rushed here after hearing the news.
Chen Xing stood by the window of his office with his hands behind his back. He looked in the direction of the auditorium of Jiang City and said with a smile, "Jiang City is very lively today."
"That's right. The gathering of stars is almost as good as the Spring Festival Gala organized by the Central Television." Yu Zhiyuan replied with a smile. "Several of my friends are still pestering me to help them get a few tickets, saying that they want to get close to their idols."
"In times of peace, actors are worth a lot of money." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"That's right. Those stars can casually make tens of millions of yuan in a movie or TV series. Ordinary people can't even make ten million yuan in their entire lives." Yu Zhiyuan smiled. "Mayor, this is actually a reflection of the unfairness of social distribution. The economic development is getting worse and worse, but the stars' pay keeps rising. This is inseparable from the blind speculation of the capital."
"It's not up to us to worry about this." Chen Xing smiled and looked at the time. It was almost six o 'clock. The red carpet was probably ready for the ceremony. In the afternoon, Fang Pingping called him and tried to invite him to attend, but Chen Xing declined. It was a big event in the entertainment circle. Chen Xing couldn't be bothered to join in the fun.
"Yu, you can go back now. There's nothing else to do tonight. If you want to attend the party, you can go." Chen Xing turned to Yu Zhiyuan and said.
"Mayor, I'm not interested in this. I'm not a star-chaser." Yu Zhiyuan shook his head and said.
"Why? Aren't you young people interested in this?"
"Mayor, I'm not young anymore. My mentality is old."
"Well, Yu, are you saying that I'm also old?" Chen Xing smiled and pointed to Yu Zhiyuan.
"Mayor, I didn't mean that. Don't get me wrong." Yu Zhiyuan hurriedly explained.
After joking with Yu Zhiyuan, Chen Xing thought for a moment and said. "Yu, arrange a room for me at Anping Club tonight. I want to meet a friend."
"Okay." Yu Zhiyuan nodded and said yes.
There was nothing else to do at night. Chen Xing didn't need Yu Zhiyuan to stay. When it was time to get off work, Yu Zhiyuan left first. Chen Xing stayed in the office for a while, thinking about whether to visit Zhang Ran. After all, Chen Xing was a little hesitant. Zhang Ran was now detained in the second detention center in Jiang City. According to what Chen Xing had learned, Zhang Ran was really involved in economic crimes. Zhang Ran used his mother's power to gain a lot of personal benefits over the years. It was said that the amount of money involved in the case had reached tens of millions of yuan, not including those that had not been found. When the case was investigated step by step, no one knew how much the final amount of money involved would be. There was no doubt that Zhang Ran was doomed this time, and he might be in prison for more than ten years.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Xing couldn't figure out why Zhang Ran still wanted to gain personal benefits when his family was already very rich.
After sitting in the office for less than half an hour, Chen Xing set out for Anping Club.
Just one or two minutes after Chen Xing stepped into the room, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Xin stood prettily at the door. She was dressed in a carved gown that perfectly displayed her graceful figure. Her faintly discernible voluptuous figure caused people to be unable to help but have some impulses.
Zhang Xin came to attend tonight's Golden Tripod Award Gala. Zhang Xin, who had long been among the A-list stars, was invited to attend the gala as a guest presenter, although her works were not nominated this time.
Since two days ago, Zhang Xin had been sending messages to Chen Xing, wanting to have a chat with Chen Xing. Chen Xing didn't respond at first. Later, he couldn't stand Zhang Xin's constant messages, so Chen Xing didn't refuse and agreed.
