Chu Rong nodded in agreement. At first glance, he knew that Wu An was not a soft-hearted person. If he was not killed with a stick, he would leave a potential source of trouble for himself. Chen Xing's words also touched her heart. Seeing that Chen Xing was about to knock the ash off his cigarette, Chu Rong hurriedly handed him an ashtray.
Wu An's social circle is too far away for me. My small business can't be compared with his. Usually, I can't get in touch with news of his level. Otherwise, I might be able to hear something useful. But now, I can't help you even if I want to. Chu Rong knitted his brows. He was worried that he couldn't be of help.
A fly would never stare at a seamless egg. As long as there was something fishy, he could find it. Chen Xing put out the cigarette in his hand with a smile.
The three of them chatted for a while. Chen Xing didn't stay in the evening because he still had business to do. Since he had decided to deal with Wu An, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later. There were some things that he needed to arrange in person. Since Wu An could move Li Zhongmin to help him, it could be seen that he had a good relationship in the officialdom. Chen Xing couldn't get detailed information about Wu An from Chu Rong and Li. So, he had to find out about it himself. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you defeat the enemy. Chen Xing would never underestimate any of his opponents.
Coming out of He Li's suite, Chen Xing called Fei Ren. They arranged to meet at a tea house. When Chen Xing arrived, Fei Ren had already arrived. Fei Ren was not alone in the room. Zhang Ping and Yang Ming were also there. The three of them seemed to be in a close circle and could often be seen together.
Obviously, the three of them had gone somewhere for a drink and came here. As soon as Chen Xing entered the room, he smelled the smell of alcohol in the air. He nodded at Zhang Ping and Yang Ming. Chen Xing thought it was good that all of them were here. Three heads are better than Zhuge Liang. These rich playboys might not be able to do anything good, but they were capable of doing many bad things. It just so happened that he needed Zhang Ping's help.
County Chen, I heard that you were in Haicheng, so Old Yang and I also came to join in the fun. Is it okay? Zhang Ping's face was almost like that of Guan Yu. He seemed to be a little drunk. Fortunately, he was still sober when he spoke.
Zhang Ping, you are treating me like an outsider. I didn't know that you were with Fei Ren. Otherwise, I could ask him to invite you. Chen Xing smiled and said, "I need your help with something."
"Oh?" As soon as Zhang Ping came down, he became interested. It was not known whether it was because of the drink, but Zhang Ping was especially generous. "If County Chen needs help, then I will not refuse. If County Chen needs help, just say it. If I can help, I, Zhang Ping, will never say no."
"Yes, County Chen, if you need help, just say it. Don't stand on ceremony with us." Yang Ming echoed. His father, Yang Zhen, and Chen Xing were getting closer and closer. Yang Ming knew it clearly. When he went back home, his father also told him to build a good relationship with Chen Xing. Naturally, Yang Ming was especially concerned about Chen Xing's affairs.
Both of them had expressed their opinions. Fei Ren naturally did not want to be left behind. He smiled and said, "Chen Xing, we are old classmates. Your business is my business. Don't stand on ceremony."
Chen Xing smiled and glanced at the three of them. He thanked them and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I don't know if you know Wu An."
"Wu An?" "What? Chen Xing, do you want to deal with him?" Although Fei Ren was also drunk, his reaction was not slow at all. From Chen Xing's serious attitude, he could roughly guess what was going on. He frowned slightly and thought, "I know Wu An. We even had a meal together. He has a certain reputation in the business circle of Hai City. This time, he won the big project of the city bidding and became even more famous. However, I think this person is quite discerning. Chen Xing, did he do something to offend you?"
"Just take it that he offended me." Chen Xing glanced at Fei Ren calmly. Unexpectedly, Fei Ren knew him. Chen Xing had to be more vigilant. Tonight, he came to ask Fei Ren to help him investigate Wu An's company. Based on his understanding of Fei Ren, he was also a two-faced person. Chen Xing would never really trust him. At this time, hearing that the other party knew Wu An, Chen Xing wondered if he should tell him his purpose.
"Chen Xing, if you have something to say, just say it. He and I are just acquaintances. If you want to deal with him, if I don't stand on your side, am I still a human?" Chen Xing's hesitation at that moment did not escape Fei Ren's eyes. He immediately made his position clear. Rolling his eyes, Fei Ren immediately said, "Chen Xing, I understand what you are thinking. You want to investigate whether Wu An's company has evaded taxes, right? No problem, leave it to me."
Alright, I'll have to trouble you then. Chen Xing nodded with a smile. This was his purpose. No matter whether Fei Ren was playing tricks with him, he was not afraid that Fei Ren would know about it. Moreover, he believed that Fei Ren was a clever villain. This kind of person had no other abilities, but he would never do anything that was disadvantageous to himself. Between him and Wu An, which was more important, Fei Ren should know which one to choose. No matter what, he was waiting for Fei Ren to come up with a result.
Fei Ren patted his chest loudly. At this moment, Zhang Ping was a little hesitant and said awkwardly, "This Wu An seems to be quite familiar with my father. I can always see him at my house during Chinese New Year and other festivals. It seems that he has a close relationship with my father. This is a little troublesome. I'll go home and find out what my father thinks. But Chen Xing, don't worry, I won't tell my father about this."
"Okay, I'll leave Zhang Ping to you." Chen Xing was shocked. Wu An was quite capable and had made friends with many high-ranking officials and nobles. But he was familiar with Zhang Jiandong, the director of the Local Taxation Bureau. What did that mean? Zhang Jiandong might have evaded taxes many times. This step of his might be a lucky one. It all depended on Zhang Jiandong's attitude.
After the business was finished, they chatted and laughed with Fei Ren and the others for a while. Then they dispersed. Before Fei Ren left, he solemnly promised that he would start to take action when he returned to the bureau tomorrow. Chen Xing solemnly thanked him again, but he didn't really take it to heart. On the way home, Chen Xing thought that he could not pin his hope on Fei Ren. He had to think of other ways.
Early the next morning, Chen Xing took a car back to Ximen. When he arrived at his office, Chen Xing saw Fu Wei, the director of the Traffic Bureau, standing outside his office. Chen Xing was slightly stunned and then walked into the office. He Qi, the secretary, followed Chen Xing's heels and whispered that he had seen Fu Wei waiting outside the office this morning. It was estimated that Fu Wei had been waiting for more than half an hour. He Qi then waited for Chen Xing's instructions. He knew that Chen Xing had asked Fang Xiao, the deputy county magistrate, to lead an investigation team to investigate the shoddy work on Xilong Highway. It was hard to say whether Chen Xing would be willing to see Fu Wei at this time.
"Let him in." Chen Xing lowered his head and began to work.
When Fu Wei entered, Chen Xing did not even raise his head. He was still scribbling on a document on the table. Seeing this situation, Fu Wei could only smile bitterly. He did not dare to make a sound as he stood there motionlessly. This was the so-called study time. The leader was seriously dissatisfied. At this moment, other than standing there patiently, Fu Wei did not dare to say anything.
More than half an hour later, Chen Xing raised his head and looked at Fu Wei. "What's the matter, Director Fu?"
"County Magistrate Chen, I'm here to report to you about Xilong Highway." Fu Wei was obedient and didn't have any temper. Chen Xing didn't dare to have any temper. These days, he couldn't sleep and eat well.
Deputy County Magistrate Fang is in charge of investigating this matter. If there's anything, you can report to him. " Chen Xing lowered his head again.
Fu Wei stood where he was. He didn't know whether to leave or stay. Chen Xing had ordered him to leave. Fu Wei was unwilling to leave like this, so he braced himself and said, "County Magistrate Chen, our bureau has severely punished Haoxing Company for the shoddy work and materials on Xilong Highway. At the same time, we unilaterally terminated the contract and re-opened the public bidding.
I don't care about this matter. Deputy Magistrate Fang is now fully in charge of this matter. If you have anything to say, go to him. Don't you understand what I mean? " Chen Xing's tone was a little stiff.
Fu Wei stood where he was for a while and sighed helplessly in his heart. Finally, he turned his head and left. He had already heard that Chen Xing was a little unhappy. If he stayed, he was afraid that he would really anger Chen Xing. Fu Wei didn't dare to stay any longer.
