In the spacious office, Chen Xing was listening to Jiang Hao, the director of the County Environmental Protection Bureau, reporting the measures to deal with the plastic factory. Suspension of business for rectification was the administrative punishment made by the County Environmental Protection Bureau on Chen Quanqing's plastic factory. Jiang Hao didn't know whether Chen Xing would be satisfied with the result. He had received many benefits from Chen Quanqing recently, so he was also on tenterhooks recently, afraid that he would be dragged down by Chen Quanqing.
What about after the suspension of business for rectification? Chen Xing glanced at Jiang Hao. The plastic factory had always been a heavy polluter, but it was built by the river. Director Jiang was a professional in the field of environmental protection, so he should know the seriousness of the pollution better than Chen Xing.
Yes, yes, we were indeed negligent in our work before. Jiang Hao nodded hard. He didn't dare to refute Chen Xing's words. If anyone dared to look down on this young acting county magistrate, Chen Ming, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, would be a good example. Although Chen Ming was still the director, some insider news had already spread. The people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection had their eyes on Chen Ming, which was a serious problem. Many people guessed that Chen Ming would not only be demoted to the end, but also be put in jail. Many people were waiting to see a joke. Chen Ming was stupid enough to be the first person to stand up to Chen Xing. The first person to eat crabs always had to pay a certain price. The price that Chen Ming paid was too high, which also made people wake up. Chen Xing, who had just arrived, was like a fierce dragon crossing the river. He really couldn't be provoked. He had the support of the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. If they provoked him for no reason, it would be like eating arsenic and thinking that they had lived too long.
We have ordered the plastic factory to move, and for the river pollution that has been caused, the plastic factory has to bear the sewage treatment costs. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't say anything, but just stared at him, Jiang Hao's scalp tingled. Then he said an excuse that he had prepared in advance, but he didn't intend to say it at the beginning. After all, he had received help from Chen Quanqing.
He couldn't deny it completely, but he just promised to try his best. If Chen Xing just asked about the plastic factory and didn't say anything else, he would naturally help him to cover it up. Chen Xing was the acting head of the county. Although he didn't have a lot of work to do, he had a lot of things to worry about every day. Maybe he would forget about it after some time, and then it would naturally be left unsettled. Jiang Hao originally thought that he was lucky, but looking at Chen Xing's expression, Jiang Hao knew that it would be hard to cover up this matter.
The relocation of the plastic factory was necessary. An enterprise that caused serious pollution was built by the river, and no one asked about it for several years. The Environmental Protection Bureau was indeed negligent. Chen Xing didn't stare at Jiang Hao anymore, but his words also meant that Chen Xing didn't intend to save Jiang Hao's face. In the officialdom, fairness and peace were more important. Chen Xing's words directly slapped Jiang Hao's face, and also meant to warn him in a disguised way. If Jiang Hao continued to fool him, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to later.
When I go back, I will definitely ask the relevant law enforcement personnel to make a deep reflection. Jiang Hao's attitude was extremely correct. He admitted his mistakes when he should. Of course, he didn't forget to push the blame to his subordinates. As a subordinate, he was supposed to share the burden of the leader. Bearing the mistakes for the leader was also a manifestation of sharing the burden.
Chen Xing smiled and looked at Jiang Hao sarcastically. Jiang Hao, who slightly lowered his head, didn't see the look in Chen Xing's eyes, and didn't know that he had been blacklisted by Chen Xing because of his short words. Chen Xing evaluated him as irresponsible and unworthy of an important position. With such an impression in the leader's mind, Jiang Hao's career had come to an end. At least during the period when Chen Xing was working in the Xi Men, Jiang Hao wouldn't be able to climb up the ranks.
It was quiet in the office for a while. Jiang Hao raised his head and saw that Chen Xing was already reading some documents. He knew that it was time for him to leave, so he sensibly left the office. After closing the office door gently, Jiang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. Facing Chen Xing, a superior who was more than ten years younger than him, Jiang Hao didn't feel relaxed at all. The officialdom was not a place that paid attention to respecting the old and loving the young. There was only a strict hierarchy here. Being older than others was useless, and taking advantage of one's seniority would never bring good results. Only those who had great power would be useful. A superior official could crush others to death, not to mention that Chen Xing was now the acting county magistrate with great power.
After going downstairs and getting into his car, Jiang Hao took out his phone and was about to call Chen Quanqing. After hesitating for a while, Jiang Hao changed his mind. He called his deputy, Yang Quan, the deputy director of the bureau, and asked him to inform Chen Quanqing. Anyway, the general result was not good. He didn't need to give more instructions. Yang Quan would understand what he meant and know how to tell Chen Quanqing.
Jiang Hao didn't contact Chen Quanqing directly. He already had the idea of slowly distancing himself from Chen Quanqing. The reporters from the provincial capital had not left yet, and Chen Xing's attitude today. These combined information made Jiang Hao feel that something was wrong. Chen Quanqing's factory was closed for rectification and was ordered to move. If it was serious, it might even involve the corruption cases of the officials who had an affair with Chen Quanqing. Jiang Hao didn't want to be sent to the police station. At this time, he wanted to distance himself from Chen Quanqing as much as possible.
Chen Xing attended a social event in the evening and didn't return to the hostel until eight o 'clock. Driver Zhang Min sent him to the entrance of the hostel as usual. After getting out of the car, he walked back to his familiar residence. Before he reached downstairs, Chen Xing saw a person sitting at the stone table under the old tree from afar. Chen Xing was surprised. The figure was very strange and didn't seem to be someone he knew.
"It's you?" As he walked closer, Chen Xing saw the person clearly under the light. It was the young woman who was with Chen Quanqing last night.
County Magistrate Chen. Jiang Wan raised her head and saw Chen Xing standing in front of her. She quickly stood up. She had been in a daze just now and didn't notice Chen Xing coming over.
Chen Xing frowned slightly and saw some faint traces of tears on her face. He walked to the opposite stone chair and sat down. Chen Xing looked at her up and down. They had met last night. Chen Xing had to admit that she was indeed a young woman with a special taste. Chen Quanqing must have spent a lot of effort on her. Unfortunately, Chen Quanqing's flattery was in the wrong place. Chen Xing didn't buy it at all and left the hotel in the middle of last night.
What are you doing here? Chen Xing's tone was not polite. He couldn't remember what the other party's name was.
Magistrate Chen, I … I … Jiang Wan stammered, her hands unnaturally twisted together. She was forced to come here tonight because of Chen Quanqing. Last night, Chen Xing had left midway and Chen Quanqing had refused to give her the promised reward of 100,000 yuan. Even if Jiang Wan wanted to reason with him, she couldn't find anyone to reason with. The money was in Chen Quanqing's hands and it all depended on Chen Quanqing's mood. As a woman, she could only be in a weak position.
As a woman, she could only be in a weak position. However, Chen Quanqing's excuse was not necessarily sophistry. Chen Quanqing did say that as long as she could sleep with Chen Xing once, he would give her 100,000 yuan. Although she was ready to sell her body last night, Chen Xing didn't give her the opportunity. It was not unreasonable for Chen Quanqing to refuse to pay for her with this reason. Today, Chen Quanqing took the initiative to contact her again and made the same promise as before. Jiang Wan agreed to come because Chen Quanqing promised her one more condition. As long as she came tonight, he would help her pay the 5,000 yuan hospitalization fee in advance, no matter whether she succeeded or not. For money, Jiang Wan had lost all her dignity. A penny could drive a hero to death. Jiang Wan had reached the point where she had no other choice.
If there was nothing else, she could leave. Chen Xing glanced at Jiang Wan. Obviously, she had never done such a thing before. Last night, when Chen Quanqing gestured for her to propose a toast to him, Jiang Wan looked very unnatural. Chen Xing saw it all. He didn't know where Chen Quanqing found such a good family. There were many crooked ways, but they were useless against him.
County Magistrate Chen, tonight … tonight … can I stay? Jiang Wan mustered up a great deal of courage. After saying this, it was as if she had used up all the strength in her body. She felt dizzy and wanted to find a hole to hide in. Jiang Wan had never felt so cheap before. She took the initiative to have sex with a man.
Stay? Chen Xing looked at her with a faint smile. Perhaps because her skin was too white, although the light was a little dim, Chen Xing could still vaguely see that her face was red from ear to ear. He opened his mouth to tease her, but immediately shook his head. Chen Xing smiled slightly. He had to be more mindful of his identity.
Jiang Wan's body was stiff and she didn't move at all. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. "Chen Quanqing asked you to come, right? You should leave. Go back and tell Chen Quanqing that I don't fall for his tricks. As long as he hasn't done anything illegal, I won't deliberately make trouble for him."
