It was not that Wang Dongchen was afraid of Gao Yongfang. He was the secretary of the county, and he was not afraid of a deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee. The problem was that Gao Yongfang was here, and he was here to arrest Chen Tan. At that moment, Wang Dongchen felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Gao Yongfang was the investigation team leader from the city, and this was enough to make a lot of connections. Wang Dongchen looked at Gao Yongfang and finally adjusted his expression. Director Gao, what is going on?
Secretary Wang, sorry to disturb your work. Gao Yongfang's attitude was very proper. He did not rely on his status as the Municipal Party Committee's investigation team leader. The suspect, Chen Quanqing, has already confessed. He accused Chen Tan of being the mastermind. He fabricated a report to slander Chen Xing. We are taking him back to assist in the investigation, but we did not expect him to be in Secretary Wang's office, so we barged in. Please forgive us, Secretary Wang.
Director Gao, could there be a mistake? Chen Tan was an old cadre of the Party. He had always had a high level of organizational awareness. He should not have done something so foolish. Wang Dongchen's expression froze for a moment, but he still spoke up to defend Chen Tan. He could ignore Chen Quanqing, but he could not ignore Chen Tan. No one knew better than him about the report letter.
If there was really a mistake, then it was even more necessary to bring Chen Tan back to assist in the investigation. That way, he could prove his innocence. Secretary Wang, I still have something to do today, so I'll be leaving first. I'll pay you a visit another day. Gao Yongfang smiled and nodded at Wang Dongchen, then retreated out of Wang Dongchen's office.
Chen Jun leaned against the wall and watched as Chen Tan was taken away. What was worse was that Chen Tan even glanced at him. Chen Jun felt his legs go weak. With one hand on the wall, Chen Jun's forehead was sweating profusely as he looked at the open door of the secretary's office. To him, the secretary's office, which had always been sacred and omnipotent, was now like a leaky wall. Chen Jun was in a daze for a while. When the breeze blew, he felt a chill and his mind was suddenly awakened. Taking a deep breath, Chen Jun calmed himself down and walked towards Wang Dongchen's office.
Wang Dongchen sat with a gloomy face. Only when Chen Jun walked in did Wang Dongchen gently close the office door. Wang Dongchen didn't dare to disturb Wang Dongchen and just stood quietly at the side. Chen Jun could feel Wang Dongchen's terrible mood. His head was lowered, and his heart was also filled with mixed feelings. In the past, Wang Dongchen was like a huge ship. This ship could shelter people from the wind and rain. Now, this ship could no longer give people a sense of security. Just like a ship with aging parts, it could no longer withstand the wind and rain. It could no longer protect the people on the ship. Chen Jun couldn't help but have his own thoughts.
The next day, Governor Zhang Guohua came to Haicheng for an inspection. Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping led the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to welcome the governor's motorcade at the highway junction. At around 10 in the morning, Zhang Guohua's motorcade arrived. After staying at the highway junction for a while, Zhang Guohua, Huang Kunming, Zhao Yiping, and the others shook hands slightly. After exchanging some pleasantries, the group immediately got into the car and went straight to Haicheng.
Zhang Guohua visited the Haicheng High-tech Park and the agricultural export processing zone next to it. He praised the economic development achievements of Haicheng over the past few years and affirmed the achievements of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping accompanied Zhang Guohua carefully. When they heard Zhang Guohua's praises, the two of them smiled from time to time. However, they did not dare to relax at all. Zhang Guohua's visit was too sudden, and the city's preparations were also very hasty. Both of them were afraid that they would leave a bad impression on Zhang Guohua. Zhao Yiping, who had always been secretly competing with Huang Kunming, was rarely on the same side as Huang Kunming.
During lunch, Zhang Guohua suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go to Xi Men. Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping were very surprised because Zhang Guohua's inspection itinerary did not include this plan. However, since the words came out of Zhang Guohua's mouth, the two of them nodded and did not dare to raise any doubts. Huang Kunming, who had just called Zhou Mingfang yesterday, was doubtless even more confused. He really could not connect Zhang Guohua, a provincial level cadre, with Chen Xing, a small divisional level cadre. Moreover, the meaning revealed by Zhou Mingfang's words yesterday made people endlessly fanciful. Especially now that Zhang Guohua suddenly changed his itinerary and proposed to go to Xi Men, Huang Kunming really had no choice but to guess what relationship it had with Chen Xing.
The notice received by Xi Men was even more hasty. Huang Kunming's previous inspection trip had been notified a few days in advance. In order to welcome the inspection of the Municipal Party Committee's secretary, the county had specially carried out a cleaning for a few days, and the sanitation of the streets had been cleaned up. However, this time, it was the governor's inspection trip, but it was suddenly notified at the last moment. Even Wang Dongchen, who was irritated and anxious, forgot his worries at once. He hurriedly held a meeting and urgently arranged the reception and welcoming work.
After lunch and a short rest, Zhang Guohua's motorcade came down. Together with the motorcade of the Hai City Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the long motorcade could be seen from afar. Coupled with the sirens of the police cars in front, it was difficult for people not to notice them. Wang Dongchen, Chen Xing, and the others were all excited. The governor's motorcade had arrived.
Chen Xing was very excited in his heart. He could guess the purpose of Zhang Guohua's sudden arrival. He wanted to support him. Especially when he saw the motorcade getting closer and closer and slowly stopping in front of him, Chen Xing felt even more excited. He greeted them with Wang Dongchen. Neither of them was qualified to directly walk in front of Zhang Guohua, so they could only stop a short distance apart. Chen Xing saw Zhao Yiping, who also glanced over slightly and quickly looked away. The investigation team was still in Xi Men, but Zhao Yiping just couldn't stand Chen Xing.
"Governor Zhang, this is Comrade Wang Dongchen, and this is Comrade Chen Xing." Huang Kunming personally introduced the top leaders of Xi Men County's Party and government to Zhang Guohua. When he introduced Wang Dongchen, Zhang Guohua just nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to shake. When it came to Chen Xing, Zhang Guohua didn't deliberately show that he knew Chen Xing. He just smiled a little more, moved his mouth, and said something that was enough to make people speculate, "Comrade Chen Xing is very good."
Both Huang Kunming and Zhao Yiping were stunned for a moment. Listening to Zhang Guohua's praise of Chen Xing, the two of them momentarily doubted their ears, especially Zhao Yiping, who was in a daze for a moment. When he looked at Chen Xing again, Zhao Yiping's gaze suddenly became a little complicated.
Zhao Bin, who stood behind Zhang Guohua, also smiled and nodded slightly at Chen Xing. This detail was noticed by Huang Kunming. Huang Kunming, who had not recovered from the surprise, suddenly understood why Zhou Mingfang suddenly said that he knew about the report letter after hearing him mention it yesterday. It turned out to be true. Zhang Guohua specially came down here for Chen Xing. This speculation was very shocking, but after connecting the details, Huang Kunming had to believe this speculation. Zhang Guohua came down here to cheer up Chen Xing. Then, how did Chen Xing get close to Zhang Guohua and even make Zhang Guohua love him so much? This question flashed in Huang Kunming's mind. He didn't have time to think too much about it. He smiled and quickly continued Zhang Guohua's words.
Comrade Chen Xing is the youngest divisional level cadre in Haicheng City. At such a young age, he is able to take on such a big responsibility on his own. He is indeed an outstanding young cadre.
Huang Kunming was silently flattering Zhang Guohua. Zhang Guohua smiled faintly. Young cadre are the future middle power of the Party and the country. The Central Government has always paid attention to the echelon construction and cultivation of cadre. Capable young cadre should boldly be promoted and put in important positions.
What Governor Zhang said was very right. Outstanding young cadre should indeed be given more responsibilities. Huang Kunming smiled and echoed. After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Chen Xing. At this moment, Zhao Yiping stood at the side silently. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
At this moment, only Zhang Guohua and Chen Xing became the main characters. The rest of the people were just supporting roles. Even Huang Kunming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Feng Jianye, the secretary general of the Provincial government, who came with Zhang Guohua this time, had become supporting roles. Feng Jianye quietly paid more attention to Chen Xing. A person who could attract the attention of the governor was also qualified to attract his attention. In particular, he could more or less see some strangeness in this.
The group of people got into the car again. Wang Dongchen sat in his county party secretary's car. In an instant, he seemed to have aged a few years. Looking at Chen Xing from the rearview mirror, Wang Dongchen smiled bitterly in his heart. What else could he fight with Chen Xing? Wang Dongchen couldn't help but feel bitter. At his old age, he was only the secretary of the County Party Committee, a divisional level. Chen Xing, on the other hand, had become a county magistrate before the age of 30. Comparing people with each other could only make one feel resentful. Without a background, how could one mingle in the officialdom?
