Zhao Dabao frowned quietly. He was not satisfied with Mr. Zhong's answer. What he wanted to find out was not just some trivial news. Glancing at Mr. Zhong quietly, Zhao Dabao smiled. "Brother Zhong, what's the relationship between your daughter and Mayor County Chen? I see that Mayor County Chen takes good care of your family.
I really don't know about this. I didn't know that young man was the County Magistrate. When I heard you call him that, I was shocked. Don't you think that leaders are usually older? How old is County Magistrate Chen? He's already a County Magistrate. That's really amazing. Mr. Zhong shook his head with an incredulous look on his face. Chen Xing's identity had a great impact on him. He still couldn't believe it.
"Oh, so you don't know what's the relationship between your daughter and Mayor County Chen?" Zhao Dabao couldn't help but look disappointed. He stayed to inquire about the situation, but he didn't expect to find anything. Zhao Dabao was a little unwilling. He had already caused trouble for Director Li Xuan. If he didn't find out anything, Li Xuan would skin him alive when he returned.
"Brother Zhong, think about it carefully. For example, did your daughter tell you anything about Mayor County Chen?" Zhao Dabao asked persistently.
"She really didn't." Mr. Zhong looked at Zhao Dabao strangely. "Hey, you know so much. What do you want to do?
Hah, Brother Zhong, what are you talking about? What can I do? Magistrate Chen is a leader. Do you think I dare to do anything? In fact, I'm just as curious about Magistrate Chen as you. He's so young, yet he's able to become a Magistrate. How capable is he? Zhao Dabao laughed.
Mr. Zhong nodded in agreement. You're right. County Magistrate Chen is really amazing. Those leaders are already so old, but he's still so young. How high do you think he'll be in the future?
As Zhong Yue's father spoke, he laughed happily. His daughter knew such a high-ranking official. Wouldn't his family gain a lot of face?
When Zhao Dabao saw Mr. Zhong laughing, he also laughed, although he didn't know what Mr. Zhong was laughing about. He thought to himself, "It's his business how high his position is. Why are you laughing?"
Brother Zhong, think about it again. Do you really not know the relationship between your daughter and County Magistrate Chen? Zhao Dabao looked at Mr. Zhong eagerly. He hoped that he could get some useful information to make up for his mistake.
How would I know? Mr. Zhong shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "By the way, I remember our Xiao Ling mentioned that she was going to Xi Men to participate in some land bidding when she came home last time. I don't know if she is also going to Xi Men this time. Maybe that's why County Magistrate Chen is with her."
"I see." Zhao Dabao thought for a moment and stared at Father Zhong. He guessed that even if he asked this old man, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. He simply didn't know anything.
Walking aside, Zhao Dabao took out his mobile phone and quickly sent a long text message to Li Xuan. Zhao Dabao didn't know what to say, so he had to tell Li Xuan what he had heard from Mr. Zhong.
In the Pearl Hotel in the city, Li Xuan felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate. He took it out and glanced at it, then forwarded it to Zhang Nan next to him.
The atmosphere at the table was very formal. Zhang Nan glanced at the text message. Seeing that the text message forwarded by Li Xuan from Zhao Dabao didn't have any substantive content, Zhang Nan was a little disappointed. However, from the detailed description in Zhao Dabao's text message, Zhang Nan speculated something. If Zhong Ling was an investor, Chen Xing, the County Magistrate, came out to greet her personally and even followed her to his home, then Zhong Ling's identity as an investor was really important in Chen Xing's eyes. This also indirectly showed that Zhong Ling, the chairman of the board, was not the chairman of a random company. If she didn't have some real money, it would be impossible for a County Magistrate like Chen Xing to pay so much attention to her.
Of course, these were all Zhang Nan's own speculations. As for whether Chen Xing and Zhong Ling were friends in private or something else, Zhang Nan was not so interested in it. It really had nothing to do with him. As a director of the Public Security Bureau, he didn't have a high political awareness of attracting investment. At this moment, Zhang Nan was more concerned about the relationship between Chen Xing and Yang Zhen, the Deputy Director of the Haicheng Municipal Bureau. If he could build a good relationship with Yang Zhen through Chen Xing, it would really be fruitful.
Under the hint of Zhang Nan's eyes, Li Xuan drank up three large glasses of beer in one breath. The glasses were specially prepared by the waiter. Although it was beer, Li Xuan's attitude was very proper. After all, it was not him who directly offended Chen Xing, but Zhao Dabao, who was ignorant, who directly offended Chen Xing. After all, Li Xuan was cleaning up the aftermath for his men.
County Magistrate Chen, don't lower yourself to their level. Don't lower yourself to their level. Li Xuan drank three glasses in a row. While he was gasping for breath, Zhang Nan came out with a smile to smooth things over.
Chen Xing nodded with a smile. "I'm fine. It's Chairman Zhong's family that was wronged today. I'm just helping to defend the injustice.
Chairman Zhong, I promise that similar things will not happen again. Those gangsters will be severely punished by our police station. " Hearing Chen Xing's words, Li Xuan patted his chest and promised Zhong Ling beside him. Anyway, Chen Xing was just a passer-by in Jianan City, so Li Xuan didn't mind making a few empty promises.
Those gangsters should be severely punished, and the policemen who dealt with this matter in the morning should also be criticized and educated. Zhang Nan looked at Li Xuan with a straight face and made a final decision. Although his attitude was strict, his partiality was obvious.
"Yes, yes, Chief Zhang, you're right. We must criticize them seriously, or they will be in trouble in the future." Li Xuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, secretly delighted. The punishment for Zhao Dabao was limited to criticism and education. Li Xuan was naturally happy to see such a mild punishment. Although Zhao Dabao was sometimes not very smart, he had helped him do a lot of dirty work. Unless it was really necessary, Li Xuan still had to protect Zhao Dabao.
Chen Xing looked at the two of them who seemed to be putting on a show and sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Just as Li Xuan had thought, he was just a passer-by. It was their business to deal with their own police officers. As an outsider, he really couldn't interfere. A powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory. This was Jianan City, not Xi Men. Even if he was dissatisfied with the outcome and wanted to forcefully interfere, it was hard to say whether the other party would be so polite.
Things in the officialdom were like this. A county magistrate was inferior to a county governor. As the head of a county, Chen Xing's words were useful in Xi Men, but in Jianan City, it was not a matter of giving a discount or two. Just as one plus one was not necessarily equal to two, and two minus one was not necessarily equal to one, the concept of region was also reflected in the officialdom.
Zhang Nan's instructions on Zhao Dabao's punishment were limited to criticism and education. To be honest, it was a little like taking advantage of the fact that Chen Xing was a foreign official. If the mayor of Jianan City was really offended by people like Zhao Dabao, Zhang Nan was afraid that he would be sitting on pins and needles. Of course, this was only an assumption. No matter how much of a bastard Zhao Dabao was, even if he didn't know the county magistrate of Xi Men, he at least knew the mayor of this city. What happened to Chen Xing in the morning was absolutely impossible.
However, perhaps because of the relationship between Chen Xing and Yang Zhen, the deputy director of Haicheng Municipal Bureau, Zhang Nan had to pretend to seriously ask Chen Xing, "What does County Magistrate Chen think about this?
This is the internal affairs of your Public Security Bureau, so I will not comment on it. " Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. In fact, his words indirectly expressed his dissatisfaction with this handling.
Zhang Nan smiled slightly. At this time, he could only pretend that he didn't understand what Chen Xing meant. Glancing at Chen Xing, Zhang Nan couldn't help probing, "Is County Magistrate Chen familiar with Director Yang?
Not bad, they know each other. " Chen Xing nodded and turned to look at Zhong Ling, asking for her opinion. Seeing that Zhong Ling also nodded secretly, Chen Xing immediately smiled and said, "Director Zhang, we still have something to do. Let's call it a day."
Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment. His face changed a little, but he didn't intend to ask them to stay. Instead, he smiled and said, "County Magistrate Chen's business is important. If there is a chance next time, I hope to invite County Magistrate Chen to dinner again."
The meal was tepid, but when they left, it was almost one o 'clock. Although Zhang Nan was obviously partial to Chen Xing in the case of Zhao Dabao, on the surface, Zhang Nan still showed due respect to Chen Xing.
He personally sent Chen Xing and Zhong Ling to the conspicuous Mercedes-Benz limousine. After the car started, Zhang Nan waved at the car from a distance. His attitude was very good. Li Xuan, who was standing by the side, said in a very discordant voice, "Isn't it just a county magistrate of another county? What's so great about him? Even if he invites me to be an official in a remote place like Ximen, I won't go there." The hidden meaning in Li Xuan's words couldn't be more obvious. There was no profit to be made in that remote place.
When the car gradually disappeared from sight, Zhang Nan put down his hand and glared at Li Xuan. "Shut your mouth. If this kind of thing happens again, I will skin you alive."
"Hey, Chief Zhang, don't worry. It won't happen again. It won't happen again." Li Xuan nodded with a smile and didn't take it seriously. Today, County Magistrate Chen just happened to appear. He didn't believe that there would be another County Magistrate Li or County Magistrate Zhang in the future. This kind of thing could only be blamed on bad luck. It was rare to see them.
Chief Zhang, I'm just trying to defend you. I can't bear to see that Chen Xing doesn't really care about you. Why is he acting so arrogant? You've given him face, and he really thinks that he's someone important. In Jian An City, if you don't give a damn about him, then he's just a nobody.
"Why, if he's not a big shot, you're a big shot? He's a county magistrate who's less than thirty years old. What about you? " Zhang Nan stared at Li Xuan. "Li Xuan, I think you're getting more and more amazing. You don't even take ordinary people seriously."
"Chief Zhang, listen to what you said. I only recognize you. As for others, I don't give a damn." Li Xuan smiled flatteringly, but he was slightly shocked. He was so focused on venting his dissatisfaction that he ignored such a serious fact. Chen Xing was less than thirty years old. Such a young official was in charge of the local government. No one dared to imagine what kind of future he would have in the future. There was an old saying in the officialdom, "Don't bully the old, don't bully the young." Young people had their own capital. For a young official like Chen Xing, it was better to be on good terms with him. Even if he didn't intend to be on good terms with him, he couldn't offend him. Thinking that his apology was quite proper, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Nan snorted slightly. Obviously, he was quite pleased with Li Xuan's words. It was inevitable for people to like to hear one or two flattering words, and Zhang Nan was no exception. Walking into the hotel, Zhang Nan didn't speak. He was still thinking about the relationship between Chen Xing and Yang Zhen, and whether today's incident would have any impact on him. After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Nan didn't want to think about it anymore. Chen Xing's answer to his test just now made Zhang Nan a little dissatisfied. Therefore, when Chen Xing proposed to leave, Zhang Nan didn't want to keep him. He thought to himself, "I don't want to offend you, and there's no need to flatter you. I also took care of you, a county magistrate, during this meal. I don't think you should hold a grudge against me."
