The groundbreaking ceremony began at 9: 30 am The Secretary of the County Party Committee Wang Dongchen, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and Acting County Head Chen Xing, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee Li Shaotong, and other key leaders of the Party and government of Ximen County attended today's groundbreaking ceremony. One could imagine how influential Zhao Guoli was. After all, he had the support of the mayor's wife. Anyone who received an invitation from the Guo Power Group would happily come to support them. No one was afraid that Zhao Guoli would bear a grudge against them. If Zhao Guoli were to give his wife pillow talk, he might have a hard time in the future.
When Mayor Zhao Yiping served as the Deputy Mayor of Jiang City, his arrogant and domineering reputation had spread to Hai City. There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, let alone in the officialdom. As long as one had the heart to inquire about information, there was no such thing as a hundred percent secret. Moreover, Zhao Yiping's behavior in Jiang City was not a secret. As long as one put in a little effort, one could find out about it from Jiang City. Indeed, the rumors were not false. Zhou Mingfang's transfer to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee also meant that Zhou Mingfang's era in Hai City had come to an end. The new Municipal Party Committee Secretary Huang Kunming could not suppress Zhao Yiping at all.
As soon as he arrived, he was pushed around unbearably. The tigress in Zhao Guoli's family was so fierce that no one dared to disrespect Zhao Guoli. To put it bluntly, everyone cared about their own position. It was a piece of cake for a mayor like Zhao Yiping to deal with these Level Seven officials in the county, especially with Zhao Yiping's previous reputation in Jiang City.
In fact, Chen Xing could choose not to come today. He could completely ignore the invitation from the Guo Power Group. Although Zhou Mingfang was no longer in Hai City, he had been promoted to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. The importance of this position could be imagined. Zhao Yiping had been warned by Zhou Mingfang before, but with Zhao Yiping's personality, he really did not dare to bear a grudge. Zhou Mingfang had the authority of the provincial cadre assessment, while Zhao Yiping was still a provincial cadre. No matter how bold she was, she did not dare to openly offend Zhou Mingfang.
Chen Xing had Zhou Mingfang's support. As for Zhao Guoli, even if Chen Xing did not give him face today, Zhao Guoli could not do anything to him. Of course, Chen Xing still came in the end. There was no need to ruin his relationship with the Zhang family now. This was because Zhao Yiping, the mayor, could take advantage of his position to make things difficult for him. Chen Xing also did not want to create trouble for himself. Moreover, if he did not come, it would make him look petty. In the eyes of Zhao Guoli's family, they might even think that he was afraid.
Zhao Guoli gave an impromptu speech. He was indescribably high-spirited. His wife's official hat was getting bigger and bigger, and his business was also getting bigger and bigger. Was there anything in life more satisfying than this? At least for now, Zhao Guoli could not think of any. At this moment, he was immersed in a state of excitement.
The so-called groundbreaking ceremony was nothing more than everyone taking a small shovel and shoveling a few small handfuls of soil. To put it bluntly, it was just a boring formality. In the past, Chen Xing stood by and watched the leaders go through this formality. Today, he became one of the people who went through the formality. What did power bring him and what did it make him lose?
Although Sun Xiang, Zhao Qing, and even Lin Mao followed today, they were purely there to join in the fun. In addition to the county leaders, the people who participated in the groundbreaking ceremony were Zhao Guoli himself. Sun Xiang and the others were not suitable to be in the limelight on such an occasion. From time to time, Lin Mao's eyes stared at Chen Xing with an unfriendly look.
"Lin Mao, I see that you have been staring at Chen Xing. Do you want to make trouble?" Sun Xiang glanced at Lin Mao with a smile. "This is Ximen, and Chen Xing is the head of the county. Don't mess around.
I want to mess around, but I don't have the chance. " Lin Mao smacked his lips resentfully. Sun Xiang was right. This was Ximen, not Jiang City. In Chen Xing's territory, he really could not do anything to Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing was also a national official. In Jiang City, he could only instruct people behind the scenes to teach Chen Xing a lesson.
After all, it was Chen Xing's identity in the system that played a role.
The groundbreaking ceremony ended at around 10 pm. At noon, the Guoli Group hosted a banquet at Ximen Hotel for the county officials. Chen Xing did not intend to go to the hotel directly. After exchanging some pleasantries with Zhao Guoli, Chen Xing got into his car and prepared to return to his office. The cars were parked along the road. Seven or eight out of ten cars were from the county committee and some of them were driven by Zhao Guoli and the others. The driver, Zhang Min, went to drive. Chen Xing and his secretary, He Qi, were waiting by the side. Suddenly, an Audi parked at the back drove forward slowly. When it was about to pass by Chen Xing, the Audi suddenly accelerated, rolling up a lot of dust on the ground. Mixed with car exhaust, Chen Xing and He Qi choked. Their faces were covered with dust and car exhaust.
"Who is this? Who drives like this?" He Qi looked forward in confusion. His hands did not remain idle as he hurriedly took out a tissue and passed it to Chen Xing.
After the Audi drove for a short distance, it slowed down. The car window rolled down and Lin Mao slowly poked his head out. With a cigarette in his mouth, he looked like a ruffian on the street. He smiled proudly at the back and raised his chin at Chen Xing. Only then did Lin Mao drive away.
The scene on the side of the road was not noticed by many people. Wang Dongchen was chatting with Zhao Guoli as they walked. As for the other people who came to get their cars, although some saw the arrogance of the Audi, no one would think that it was targeted at Chen Xing. However, some people saw the Audi parked here just now. They guessed that it was also one of the people who attended today's groundbreaking ceremony. They secretly clicked their tongues. How dare they make the County Head eat car exhaust? The county committee and the county government did not have an Audi, so it was easy to think that the car belonged to the Guo Li Group.
Li Shaotong, who was a few steps behind Chen Xing, happened to see this scene. He was gloating over Chen Xing's misfortune and wondered why he didn't make Chen Xing eat more of the exhaust fumes. Li Shaotong did not think that the owner of the Audi was aiming at Chen Xing. He did not think that the people from the Guo Li Group were a little arrogant. If the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. Zhao Guoli was arrogant in front of the county officials, so it was not surprising that his subordinates also had such habits.
County Chen, you can't stand too close to the road. If you are not careful, you will eat car exhaust. After taking a few quick steps, Li Shaotong stopped in front of Chen Xing and looked at him with a smile. Although he seemed to be expressing his concern, the expression on his face left no doubt that Li Shaotong was gloating over Chen Xing's misfortune.
Thank you for your reminder, Secretary Li. Chen Xing looked back at him and smiled. He was not angry at all. He had indirectly caused Li Shaotong's son to face jail. It would be strange if Li Shaotong would be nice to him.
Li Shaotong snorted and walked towards his car. Chen Xing was not angry at all. It was as if his punch had landed on cotton. Out of sight, out of mind. Although Li Shaotong hated Chen Xing to death, he did not care at all when he saw Chen Xing. Li Shaotong was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would vomit blood in anger before he could disgust Chen Xing.
Glancing at Li Shaotong, Chen Xing looked ahead. The black Audi had already disappeared from the road. Chen Xing's eyes were piercingly cold. He was enraged in his heart. Even a clay figurine would have a temper. To think that Lin Mao dared to act so brazenly even after coming to the Creek Gate.
Secretary, I saw that the Audi seemed to be intentional. Li Shaotong's secretary, Duan Gang, whispered in his ear and looked at Chen Xing from time to time.
Are you saying that the driver did it on purpose? Li Shaotong was stunned. He looked at his secretary and became interested. Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?
I'm not sure, but I saw the Audi suddenly accelerate and then stop. The driver looked at Chen Xing with a provocative expression. Duan Gang carefully recalled what he had seen. Everyone's attention was on Chen Xing. He had only seen it when he turned his head.
If it was really as you said, then it would be interesting. Li Shaotong narrowed his eyes. At this time, the car had already driven out. Li Shaotong got in the car and looked at Chen Xing's car in front. He pondered. The Audi just now could not be a car from the county. It should be a car from the Guo Li Group. If the driver was really targeting Chen Xing.
Li Shaotong pondered for a while and ordered Duan Gang, "Xiao Duan, go and investigate the origin of that car."
The car entered the county. Chen Xing looked back and saw Wang Dongchen and the Guo Li Group's car heading in another direction. Chen Xing understood. Wang Dongchen was going to the hotel directly. He was trying his best to curry favor with Zhao Guoli.
He Qi, who was sitting in the front, could vaguely see that the Audi was coming for Chen Xing. He didn't know what grudge the driver had with Chen Xing. However, he knew that the driver knew Chen Xing's identity and still dared to do so. Moreover, it was in Xi Men's territory. It could be seen that the driver had nothing to fear. He Qi didn't dare to be curious about this kind of thing.
