Chen Xing hung up the phone angrily. The member of the investigation team who made the call was Zhao Haijun, the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office. Zhao Haijun could feel the disgust and rejection in Chen Xing's tone, so he was a little unhappy. In front of the others, he said, "This County Magistrate Chen is quite arrogant. We just want to know the situation from him, but why does he sound like he treats us as class enemies?"
The person in charge of receiving the investigation team was Wang Zhong, the director of the County Government Office. Wang Zhong used to be the deputy director of the County Government Office. Recently, he replaced Zhang Ming. (Err, Zhang Ming is not the Zhang Ming of the deceased criminal. As mentioned before, the character names are repeated. Sorry, there are too many names. Sometimes I forget them. Sorry.) As a cadre promoted by Chen Xing, Wang Zhong, the director of the County Government Office, was obviously a cadre of the Chen family. Hearing the words of the investigation team, Wang Zhong pretended that he didn't hear it. He lowered his head and stared at the floor.
There were three members of the investigation team in the office, all of whom were the main leaders of the investigation team. One was Gao Yongfang, the deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and the other was Guo Wenfeng, the director of the First Supervisory Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. The investigation team was composed of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, led by the Municipal Party Committee. Therefore, Gao Yongfang, the deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, became the leader of the investigation team, with Zhao Haijun and Guo Wenfeng as the deputy leaders. The investigation team arrived at Ximen yesterday.
From yesterday to today, the investigation team went out to find out the situation according to the contents of the report letter. However, it was obvious that the report letter, which was based on groundless accusations, could not bring any substantial results to the investigation team. As a senior discipline inspection cadre, Guo Wenfeng summarized the collected information and made a general judgment that the report letter was probably bullsh * t.
Gao Yongfang nodded in agreement and made a suggestion. Since the report letter was bullsh * t, the investigation team should not take it too seriously. After hanging around in Ximen County for a few days, they could probably go home. At this time, Zhao Haijun objected. He said that since the higher-ups asked to form an investigation team to find out the situation of the report letter, they should treat it seriously and visit many parties. They should not let go of any doubts. This was also a responsible attitude towards cadres, and they could also explain to the higher-ups.
Zhao Haijun even proposed to talk to Chen Xing face-to-face to find out the situation. Hence, the current situation. Zhao Haijun proposed to find Chen Xing to find out the situation. It was impossible for Gao Yongfang and Guo Wenfeng not to be present. The three of them were the main leaders of the investigation team. It was best for the three of them to be present to talk to Chen Xing.
They came to find Chen Xing in vain. After asking, they learned that Chen Xing had gone to Hai City. Gao Yongfang said that they would look for Chen Xing tomorrow. However, Zhao Haijun insisted that since they were already here, they should not make a wasted trip. Anyway, they had time to wait, so they could call Chen Xing and ask him to come back. Gao Yongfang immediately became annoyed and said that he would not make this call. At this moment, Guo Wenfeng looked around and did not look at Zhao Haijun's eyes. Zhao Haijun was in a dilemma. "Well, since you don't want to make the call, I will make the call."
After asking Wang Zhong for Chen Xing's private mobile number, Zhao Haijun called him. At this time, Chen Xing was discussing his marriage with his parents and future in-laws. When he received this kind of call, he was not happy. It would be strange if his tone could not be better. If it were not for the presence of Zhang Guohua, Chen Xing would not have minded being more aggressive.
However, it was obvious that Chen Xing had some bad intentions. He deliberately said the words "investigation team" for Zhang Guohua to hear. Chen Xing did not do this deliberately, but it was purely a spur of the moment idea. It was all because he had no place to vent his anger. He thought to himself, "Zhao Yiping, you old witch, are too disgusting. You have to set up an investigation team to investigate me. Okay, I have no objection. You can go ahead and investigate me." However, at this time, someone from the investigation team called him to understand the situation.
Chen Xing was so angry that he wanted to put the blame on Zhao Yiping. As the old saying went, one had to get to the root of the problem. The source of the problem was Zhao Yiping. It was not wrong for Chen Xing to put the blame on Zhao Yiping. Then, he deliberately mentioned the words "investigation team" in front of Zhang Guohua on purpose. If Zhang Guohua paid attention to this matter, Zhao Yiping would not feel good. If he had the ability, he could show his teeth to the governor.
As it turned out, Chen Xing's little plan was not wrong. Zhang Ningning had the intention to help her future husband, so she had to act coquettishly to Zhang Guohua. Look, Chen Xing was investigated by the investigation team. Shouldn't she say something? Zhang Guohua could not dissuade his daughter. Moreover, no matter how high an official's position was, he would still be affected by some personal feelings. Since Chen Xing was his future son-in-law, it was okay for him to be a little biased. Therefore, Zhang Guohua also had a plan in his heart. However, no matter what, he was still a dignified governor. If he had any thoughts in his heart, he would not say it out loud.
Zhao Haijun expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Xing in the meeting room of the county government in front of Gao Yongfang and Guo Wenfeng. He was the one who made the phone call. After he showed his identity, Chen Xing was still so arrogant. Zhao Haijun thought that Chen Xing came for him, so he had to vent his anger. Gao Yongfang and Guo Wenfeng were looking at the ceiling and staring at the teacup on the table, pretending not to hear Zhao Haijun's words. Gao Yongfang did not agree to talk to Chen Xing.
Since he was chosen as the leader of the investigation team, it was impossible for Gao Yongfang not to understand the intention of his superior. Huang Kunming, the number one figure of the Municipal Party Committee, was biased towards Chen Xing. Gao Yongfang had already received the news before he came down. As the deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, he could hear the intention of his superior. Therefore, before the investigation team came down, Gao Yongfang already knew what to do. It would be great if the investigation team could not find out what was mentioned in the letter. However, if there was evidence against Chen Xing, he, as the team leader, would have to cover it up. Gao Yongfang knew that this was also his task.
Zhao Haijun proposed to have a talk with Chen Xing and even put on the label of being responsible for the cadres. Gao Yongfang simply let him do whatever he wanted. He knew that this time, the person from the Municipal Government wanted to secretly compete with Huang Kunming. Anyway, Zhao Haijun wanted to have a talk with Chen Xing. Gao Yongfang did not agree or oppose it, but he definitely had to be present. If Zhao Haijun asked any excessive questions, he could stop him. As for Guo Wenfeng, who was looking around, although he was an old discipline inspection cadre, he was not the kind of person who was inflexible. The task of the discipline inspection cadre this time was just to be a bystander. Before Guo Wenfeng came down, he had already been instructed by his superior personally. Therefore, he was purely passive. In the whole investigation team, only Zhao Haijun and the three staff members of the Municipal Government that he brought with him were active.
Chen Xing planned to return from Jiang City in the afternoon. Zhang Ningning did not follow him back. She had not married into the Chen Family yet, so it was not appropriate for her to follow Chen Xing around. However, the two families had roughly discussed about the marriage. Zhang Guohua nodded, indicating that they could get engaged at any time. As for the specific date of the wedding, they had to discuss it with the Old Master of their family to see which date was suitable. Moreover, the Old Master of their family had to agree on how to organize the wedding.
Naturally, Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang had no objection. To be able to marry into such a wealthy and influential family like the Zhang Family, even if it was not the virtue accumulated by their ancestors for eight generations, the Chen Family was also very lucky. The Zhang Family did not look down on the Chen Family. Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang were very happy in their hearts. The wedding date could be any day. The Chen Family was not particular about it, as long as the Zhang Family agreed. However, Zhang Guohua also said that the wedding date would not be later than the end of the year at the latest. It was very likely that they would hold the wedding together during the Spring Festival.
Zhang Guohua's time was precious. He left after sitting for more than half an hour. Zhang Ningning stayed to chat with the Chen Family. Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang were also sensible. They said that they wanted to go out and see the prosperity of Jiang City, so they left some space for the young couple. Therefore, in the end, Chen Xing still had some time to enjoy the world of the two of them with Zhang Ningning.
When they returned to Hai City, it was not yet five o 'clock. Chen Xing wondered if he should go back to Xi Men immediately. The people from the investigation team talked to him, and his tone was a little harsh. If he went back to Xi Men now, would it seem that he was a little weak? Chen Xing wondered if he should go back tomorrow morning. After all, there was nothing serious in the county. If there was any trouble, He Qi would also inform him. It was the same to go back at night or tomorrow morning. After thinking for a while, Chen Xing was also very decisive. Then he would go back tomorrow morning, lest someone with ulterior motives saw him and thought that he was dead.
When he returned home, Chen Xing told his parents that he would stay at home at night. Chen Shuiping and Zou Fang were very happy to hear that. Zou Fang said happily, "Since you went to work in Xi Men, you rarely stayed at home. You would only come back on New Year's Day or other festivals, and you might not stay overnight. Today is really rare.
Mom will cook some of your favorite dishes tonight. "Since Chen Xing became a leader, the family really had few opportunities to sit down and eat together. Coincidentally, there was such a big happy event today. Their mood was written on their faces, and they were all smiling. Chen Xing sat with his father and watched TV. Zou Fang went to the kitchen to busy herself. This kind of happy moment was rare. Chen Shuiping looked at his son and felt very comforted. His son was now promising, and he only lacked a wife. This lifelong event was about to be solved. Moreover, the wife's family was also very prominent. The key was that they were many times stronger than the previous sh * t Zhang Family. Chen Shuiping could not help but feel relieved for his son.
When he got engaged, he had to invite our Mayor Zhao to eat some wedding candy, so that she could also share in the joy. Chen Shuiping casually pressed the remote control. When he pressed the button to Hai City TV Station, it was the rebroadcast of the noon news. On the TV, he saw Mayor Zhang Da inspecting the infrastructure project of a certain district in the city with a happy face. Accompanying him was Deputy Mayor Li Zhongmin, who was in charge of urban construction.
Chen Xing's eyes narrowed slightly. As expected, Zhao Yiping still supported Li Zhongmin. Amateurs enjoyed the show, while experts understood the ropes. Some news on the TV could often reveal the current political developments. However, this was obviously not something that ordinary people could understand. Even ordinary civil servants did not know that the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Mayor were fighting with each other from a distance.
Chen Xing could understand Zhao Yiping's approach. There were eleven seats on the Standing Committee, and the Municipal Government occupied three seats. Mayor Zhao Yiping had one seat, Executive Deputy Mayor Shen Fang had one seat, and Deputy Mayor Li Zhongmin had one seat. On the Municipal Government's side, Li Zhongmin was the first to side with Zhao Yiping. As for Shen Fang, his attitude was still ambiguous. Zhao Yiping looked very strong, but in fact, he did not have an advantage on the Standing Committee. Therefore, he had to protect Li Zhongmin, who also had a seat on the Standing Committee. If Li Zhongmin was defeated by Huang Kunming, Zhao Yiping's loss would not be as simple as a slap in the face. The most direct loss would be that he would lose one vote on the Standing Committee. This was critical because Huang Kunming was also a newcomer and did not have a firm foothold in Hai City. He did not have an advantage over Li Zhongmin on the Standing Committee. Therefore, it was completely understandable that Zhao Yiping supported Li Zhongmin.
"Dad, what did you say just now?" Chen Xing did not hear clearly what his father had just said.
"I said that when you get engaged, you should invite Mayor Zhao to eat some wedding candy. She did not like you in the past, but we can't be too narrow-minded. We should be generous and invite her to join in the fun." Chen Shuiping smiled and said again. In fact, he was not someone who bore grudges. He just thought that the Zhang Family's words were too ugly in the past. Now that his son could hold his head high, as a father, he also wanted to help his son vent his anger. If he could embarrass Zhao Yiping in front of her, it would obviously be a happy thing.
"Dad, why do you have the same idea as Ningning?" Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. Zhang Ningning had also said something similar. Anyway, their purpose was the same, to embarrass the Zhao Family. It had to be said that Chen Xing was quite tempted. If he invited Zhao Yiping over and the other party found out that his fiancée was Governor Zhang's daughter, would that old witch, Zhao Yiping, have an ugly expression and want to find a hole to hide in? Chen Xing felt happy just thinking about it.
"Why? Does Ningning have the same idea?" When Chen Shuiping heard this, he slapped his thigh happily and beamed with joy. "Aiya, this daughter-in-law of mine is really to my liking. Her idea is the same as mine. The previous Zhao Qing is nothing. She is not even one ten-thousandth of Ningning. In my opinion, it is fortunate that you did not get together with Zhao Qing. Otherwise, you may not be really happy. Zhao Qing is arrogant. Although she came to our house a few times, she always gave people a feeling of alienation. In the end, it is because of her high and mighty mentality. Even if she gets together with you because she likes you, she will not really accept me and your mother in her heart.
At that time, you will feel uncomfortable being stuck in the middle. "Hearing Chen Shuiping's words, Chen Xing could only remain silent. He had broken up with Zhao Qing, but he did not care to speak ill of her behind her back. Life was full of ups and downs. It was hard to say who would live a better life than the other. Would Zhao Qing's choice lead to happiness? In the end, the answer would be verified by time.
After chatting with his father for a while, Chen Xing originally planned to rest early after dinner tonight and give himself a day off. However, it turned out that it was impossible for him, a county magistrate, to have nothing to do. Before his mother prepared dinner, his phone rang. It was Fei Ren. He said that his father wanted to have a chat with him. At the same time, Zhang Ping's father, Zhang Jiandong, also called.
One was the Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, and the other was the Director of the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau. Both of them wanted to have a chat with him. It was hard for Chen Xing to refuse such a request. Both of them were cadres with real power. They might be useful in the future. No one in the officialdom would mind having more friends. In society, people competed for resources, especially in the officialdom. Chen Xing was curious. Last time, Zhang Jiandong tactfully refused his request to investigate Jinyuan Real Estate Company. But this time, he proposed to have a chat with him. Was he trying to make up for it?
There was no point in guessing. He would know when he got there. After saying goodbye to his parents, Chen Xing was about to go out. Zou Fang, wearing an apron, stuck her head out of the kitchen and scolded with a smile, "I just washed the vegetables, and you're going to leave now? I just said that it was rare for us to have dinner together tonight. Look at you, you're going out again before you even have a chance to sit down with us.
Mom, another day, I will definitely put off all my work and come here to taste your good cooking. " Smiling cheekily with his mother, Chen Xing put on his shoes and walked out.
The meeting place was set at the Local Taxation Hotel opposite the Local Taxation Bureau. This was a property under the name of the Municipal Local Taxation Bureau. It was a modern business hotel built according to the international three-star standard. This was Zhang Jiandong's territory. Obviously, Zhang Jiandong did not want too many accidents to happen tonight. He felt more at ease in his own territory. This was not Zhang Jiandong's intention to show his power to Chen Xing, but out of caution. Zhang Jiandong did not want their meeting to be seen by someone with ulterior motives.
Standing at the entrance of the hotel waiting for Chen Xing were Fei Ren and Zhang Ping. The appearance of the two younger ones represented the elders. Obviously, it was not suitable for Fei Guoping and Zhang Jiandong to wait for Chen Xing at the entrance of the hotel. It was too conspicuous and could easily attract attention. This was not what Fei Guoping and Zhang Jiandong wanted to see. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to meet at the Local Taxation Hotel.
Last time, Zhang Ping vowed that he could help Chen Xing. In the end, because his father, Zhang Jiandong, did not support the investigation of Jinyuan Real Estate Company, Zhang Ping went back on his words. When he saw Chen Xing, he was more or less embarrassed. He repeatedly said that he was really sorry about what happened last time. He was so embarrassed that he could not help and kept blaming himself.
Chen Xing smiled and walked in with the two. Because of the constant changes in his identity and status, Chen Xing's attitude when interacting with Fei Ren and Zhang Ping was also changing. Now, the generous and calm attitude he showed made Fei Ren and Zhang Ping feel a little uncomfortable. However, the two had to admit that they were no longer at the same level as Chen Xing. At least now, Chen Xing could sit down and talk with their respective fathers face to face in an equal manner, while they could only play the role of running errands.
As soon as Chen Xing entered the door, Zhang Jiandong and Fei Guoping immediately stood up. This was the first time that Zhang Jiandong had met Chen Xing. He took the initiative to greet him with a smile. "County Chen is so young and promising, it really makes us feel old."
Fei Guoping stood at the side with a smile and nodded at Chen Xing. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they also sat down. Fei Ren and Zhang Ping sat to the right of the table. At times like this, both of them could only play supporting roles willingly, especially Fei Ren. Needless to say, he felt uncomfortable. In the past, he used to look down on Chen Xing, but now, Chen Xing's rank was higher than his father's. Other than his father, who was a deputy division chief, Chen Xing and Zhang Jiandong were both division chief cadres. Needless to say, the gap in Fei Ren's heart was unbearable.
Zhang Jiandong was the first to open his mouth, vaguely expressing his apology to Jinyuan Real Estate Company. As Zhang Jiandong spoke, he was sizing up Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing was sitting calmly with a carefree expression, Zhang Jiandong smiled bitterly in his heart. Chen Xing might be a little young, but he really couldn't be underestimated. Zhang Jiandong was here tonight to remedy the situation. Naturally, he had no time to care about whether Chen Xing was putting on airs or not. "At that time, I didn't know that Wu An had offended a friend of Chen County and done something so inhumane.
Listening to Zhang Jiandong's righteous words, Chen Xing was also secretly pondering the purpose of Zhang Jiandong's sudden appearance at this time. Wu An's situation was not good, and this was already known to everyone. So, now that Zhang Jiandong said that he could help investigate Wu An, was he simply hitting him when he was down, or did he have another purpose? What about Fei Guoping? Chen Xing did not believe that Zhang Jiandong was here to accompany him tonight. If it was not for something important, why would Fei Guoping, a deputy secretary of the district committee, come to accompany him? Although Chen Xing was popular, he did not have that much influence.
Zhang Jiandong made a generous gesture, but Chen Xing was not moved at all. He smiled and said, "The Municipal Public Security Bureau is already investigating Wu An's case. I believe that the net of law is long and wide. Wu An will definitely not be able to escape the punishment of the law."
Chen Xing was waiting for Zhang Jiandong to reveal his trump card. Zhang Jiandong, who was sitting opposite Chen Xing, was quite helpless. His eyebrows twitched, and for a moment, he felt helpless. Fei Guoping, who was originally sitting quietly at the side, suddenly stood up. "Aiya, I've been a chain smoker for decades. Every once in a while, I feel uncomfortable. Director Zhang, you and County Chen can chat first. I'll go out for a smoke. I won't stay here and let you guys inhale the second-hand smoke."
"Me too." "Me too." Fei Ren and Zhang Ping did not need Fei Guoping's signal. They consciously followed him out, leaving only Zhang Jiandong and Chen Xing in the private room.
