Chen Xing returned to Ximen the next morning. After spending the night in Jiangcheng City, Chen Xing got up early in the morning and took a long-distance bus back to Hai City with his driver, Zhang Min. The county magistrate's car was reimbursed in Kaiyuan County. He didn't need to worry about such a trivial matter. Someone would deal with it. The only thing he could pay attention to was the mastermind behind the scenes. However, according to Chen Xing's own speculation, this matter would probably not come to a conclusion even if it was investigated for a long time. Unless Secretary Zhu Mingxuan of Kaiyuan County fell from power, the final result would probably be nothing. Dai Zhicheng was not a very bold person, but moderation was the king in officialdom. If it were Chen Xing himself, he would not do things that were disadvantageous to himself.
Wu Gang's family of three stayed in Jiang City for the time being. Zeng Jing was also in Jiang City, so he could occasionally go over to take care of them. Chen Xing had no need to stay in Jiang City, and he also had his own work to do. He was now responsible for the work of the Party Committee and the government, so he would only be busier than when he was the county magistrate. The most important thing was that he might not be of much help even if he stayed in Jiang City, because the next thing would be Zhang Ningning's help. Wu Gang would go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to report Zhu Mingxuan.
"My own place is still the best." Chen Xing transferred from Hai City to Ximen. Zhang Min called the county government in advance to pick him up. As soon as Chen Xing set foot on the land of Ximen, he sighed with emotion. Last night in Kaiyuan County, his car was smashed, but nothing could be done. Although Dai Zhicheng showed up in the end and sternly asked the Public Security Bureau to solve the case within 24 hours, he didn't know whether the 24 hours would be delayed to 24 days or 240 days. If the county magistrate's car was smashed on the land of Ximen, Lu Ming would be anxious to investigate.
The county magistrate's office of the county government had now become the power center of the whole Ximen County. The news that Wang Dongchen, the secretary of the county committee, was punished by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had already spread out. Moreover, the Municipal Party Committee also issued a notice to let Chen Xing temporarily preside over the work of the county committee. Most people had basically expected that Wang Dongchen would not come out after being imprisoned.
Chen Xing was busy with some trivial matters in the morning. At noon, he had lunch with Huang Ming. Huang Ming was eager to do a big job in Xi Men. The property of the former Jinyu Entertainment City had been decided by the county government to be auctioned publicly. Huang Ming had already signed up for the auction. With 20 million yuan of capital, he was determined to do a big job this time. In case of emergency, Huang Ming had also prepared several million yuan of reserve capital. He was full of confidence and ambition to take down the Entertainment City. According to Huang Ming, this was the first step to expand the scale of the hotel. Although it was still far from his dream, he was a little closer to his dream after taking this first step.
The county had invited experts to evaluate the value of the Entertainment City. The value of the entire Entertainment City was about 30 million yuan. However, after all, it was taken out for auction, so its value must be greatly reduced. Maybe you could win it without 20 million yuan. Chen Xing said with a smile. He was supportive of Huang Ming's participation in the auction and hoped that Huang Ming could win it. However, his principle was not to intervene and not to be biased. He wanted the auction to be fair and orderly. As for the specific operation, Chen Xing was cautious and did not get involved. This was also Chen Xing's long-term consideration for his career. Otherwise, he would not have transferred his shares with Huang Ming to his parents' name so early.
Of course, it would be best if he could use the least amount of money. However, he did not know how many people would bid for it. Ha, I forgot that as the county magistrate, you must want as much money as possible for the auction. You are eager to provide more money for the county's finance. Huang Ming looked at Chen Xing and said with a smile, "Look, your Xi Men County is so poor.
Sooner or later, the "poverty" of Xi Men County will become a word of the past. I believe that Xi Men County will develop. This year is a year of great achievements for Xi Men County. The shanty town renovation, the signing of the tourist area project, the county's key development of transportation construction, and so on can lay a good foundation for future economic development. Moreover, this year's economic indicators have been comprehensively improved. The situation next year will be better than this year. " Chen Xing said with a smile. It was rare for Huang Ming to say these things.
With the leadership of County Magistrate Chen, the future of Xi Men County will certainly be more brilliant. Huang Ming smiled and flattered Chen Xing. In two years, maybe I will be able to listen to County Magistrate Chen talk about the economic development of Hai City in a hotel in Hai City.
Ha, that is still far away. You should care about the development of the hotel first. Chen Xing scolded him with a smile.
Of course, of course. My goal is to establish an internationally famous hotel chain like the Hilton Hotel Group. Well, being internationally famous is too unrealistic. I only want to be famous in the country. Huang Ming smiled and squinted his eyes. Chen Xing, this time, as long as we take down the Entertainment City and transform it into a hotel, it will be the first official hotel of the hotel chain group I want to establish. I have even thought of the name. It will be called Xingming Hotel. Haha, we will take one word from each of our names. In the future, the name of the group will also be this. Hehe, my name is in front of yours, and I have always been suppressed by you. This time, I can finally suppress you. Who asked me to have more shares than you? You have to accept it even if you don't want to.
This is the most important decision that I will make as the future chairman of the group. Chen Xing was amused by Huang Ming's words. He smiled and said, "Then I will wait to see the day when you succeed. I hope I can also see your name on the rich list in the future.
Don't worry. Twenty years later, when we look back at the present, we will know that I am not acting coquettishly today. In the future, we will both be at the forefront of the times. At that time, you will become a senior official at the provincial level, and I will be a well-known entrepreneur. At that time, let's see if I can also become a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference with your help.
Huang Ming looked forward to his future success. His eyes were full of vigor, and there was inexplicable expectation and excitement in his heart. Although he was more joking at the moment, this was also his hope in his heart. Especially with Chen Xing as his friend, Huang Ming was more confident about his future success. Although Chen Xing had said that he would not manage the hotel and would not open the back door for him, the intangible resources that Chen Xing could bring to him were huge. Huang Ming valued the latter more.
"By the way, Chen Xing, when you and Zhang Ningning get married, don't forget to send me an invitation so that I can go in and have a look. Tut-tut, at that time, I will see a senior official at the provincial level and a general with a gold star on his shoulder. I have lived for almost 30 years, but thanks to you, I saw the governor for the first time at a close distance. I didn't expect that your fiancée has such a great background. In the future, our hotel will be more prestigious. It has hosted the governor, the head of the Provincial Party Committee, and the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. If anyone dares to say that our hotel is not good enough, I will slap him." Huang Ming said excitedly.
"The wedding will be at the end of the year. At that time, I don't know whether it will be held in the capital or in Hai City. I guess it is more likely to be held in the capital, but the wedding should not be very ostentatious." Chen Xing said with a smile, "Don't worry. At that time, even if I don't invite others, I can still invite you. What kind of friendship do we have?
What kind of friendship do we have? It's fine if you don't tell me that you have a girlfriend, but you didn't even tell me that you are going to get engaged. Let me be happy with you. " Huang Ming looked unhappy. "Anyway, I don't care. If you don't invite me at the wedding, I will fall out with you. Even if there are not as many senior officials at the provincial level as I said, it will be worth it if I can see Grandpa Zhang with my own eyes. He is a legendary figure. A small figure like me can only hear about his deeds and haven't seen him with my own eyes. If I see him at that time, I will definitely ask him to sign his name on me.
When I come back, I will quickly collect the clothes. "Chen Xing was dumbfounded and said with a smile," Boy, quickly put away this absurd idea. When you get close to Grandpa Zhang, the guards around him will definitely treat you as a dangerous person. Don't ask for trouble. "
"That's true. A figure like Grandpa Zhang will definitely have very strict guards. A small figure like me really won't have a chance to get close to him." Huang Ming nodded with a smile and looked at Chen Xing enviously. "Chen Xing, you are really awesome. You won the heart of the governor's daughter without a sound. You are much better than Zhao Qing. Her mother is just a mayor, but she is so arrogant. Now, she finally got her revenge. That night, I didn't expect that her whole family would come over. They probably wanted to show off, but in the end, they were slapped in the face. I was watching from the side. I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. You don't know how hard it was for me to hold it in."
"Let's not talk about the Zhao family anymore. It's an old story, there's no point in bringing it up." Chen Xing smiled. Ever since the engagement the night before, no matter how much resentment Chen Xing had, it had long dissipated. The Zhao family didn't owe him anything. As long as Zhao Yiping didn't deliberately cause trouble for him, Chen Xing wouldn't hold onto the past like a resentful woman. However, after what happened the night before, even if Zhao Yiping wanted to cause trouble for him again, he probably didn't have the guts.
The investigation team sent by the city to investigate the report was still in Xi Men, investigating Chen Tan's case. Zhao Yiping had deliberately caused trouble for Chen Xing, but in the end, not only did he fail, he almost shot himself in the foot. As the mayor, Zhao Yiping was really angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.
In the afternoon, Chen Xing went to Shuimen Town, the most economically developed town in Xi Men County, to investigate the economy. The largest private enterprise in the county, Wanlong Textile Company, was located in Shuimen Town. With Wanlong Textile as the leading enterprise, Shuimen Town had developed a number of textile enterprises, forming an entire industrial chain. This was the decisive reason why Shuimen Town could temporarily be ranked first in the economic development of Xi Men County for a long time. It was also the most successful demonstration town in Xi Men County. Chen Xing intended to promote the successful experience of Shuimen Town throughout the county, but he certainly didn't want to spread the textile industry throughout the county. That would only cause a waste of resources and repeated vicious competition. It would not be good for the economic development of Xi Men County, but would instead harm the textile industry in Shuimen Town.
In the city, Huang Kunming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to discuss related personnel issues. The preliminary decision to appoint Chen Xing as the Party Secretary of Xi Men County was discussed at the meeting. In the end, Chen Xing received the approval of more than half of the Standing Committee members, and Chen Xing's appointment was approved.
Zhao Yiping had not been informed by Huang Kunming before the meeting, but at the meeting, Zhao Yiping did not dare to vote against the appointment. Sitting in the meeting room, Zhao Yiping's face was burning. The night before, she attended Chen Xing's engagement party and sat together with Huang Kunming. Zhao Yiping felt that she had been laughed at by others the whole night. She did not know how Huang Kunming laughed at her in his heart.
Zhao Yiping resented Chen Xing in her heart, but she did not dare to obstruct the appointment of Chen Xing. Even if she voted against it, she could not stop the appointment of Chen Xing. So, Zhao Yiping simply voted for it. Otherwise, Zhao Yiping was sure that once she voted against it, the news would immediately reach Chen Xing's ears. Zhao Yiping now instinctively did not want to have a direct conflict with Chen Xing. Although she was unwilling to admit it in her heart, her actual actions had already shown her guilty conscience.
As soon as the meeting of the Standing Committee was over, Chen Xing was informed. There were many people who told him such good news. After all, he had worked in the Municipal Party Committee Office before. Now that he had a brilliant career, his former colleagues and friends in the Municipal Party Committee Office were eager to build a good relationship with him. In the end, the person who called Chen Xing was the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhang Mingde.
Zhang Mingde reported the good news to Chen Xing on the phone. Tomorrow, he would go to Ximen County to announce the decision of the Municipal Party Committee. Zhang Mingde smiled and said that he would have a drink with Chen Xing at noon tomorrow. They had not seen each other for a long time.
The next day, Ximen County held a county-wide meeting of cadres. Zhao Fang, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Haicheng, and Zhang Mingde, the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, attended the meeting to announce the decision of the Municipal Party Committee to appoint Chen Xing as the Party Secretary of Ximen County. Zhao Fang, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, gave a speech at the meeting, affirmed Chen Xing's work in Ximen County, and said that since this year, the economic work of Ximen County had achieved satisfactory results. The Municipal Party Committee appointed Chen Xing as the Party Secretary of Ximen County based on the overall economic situation of the whole city and the actual situation of Ximen County. Comrade Chen Xing, who was already familiar with the work of Ximen County, would be in charge of the work of Ximen County, which was beneficial to Ximen County. The main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee had high hopes for the future development of Ximen County and hoped that Comrade Chen Xing could lead the cadres of the county to achieve better results.
The meeting was not long, and Chen Xing's speech was still short and powerful, without any hesitation. Chen Xing had always disliked the long-winded speeches of leading cadres at meetings, and Chen Xing himself had resolutely put an end to it. What Chen Xing did not know was that his own words and deeds were shaping a new image of a young leading cadre to the outside world, and it was not only Chen Xing who shaped this image. With the policy of appointing central cadres younger, more and more young cadres took up leadership positions, and their vitality and passion left a deep impression on the outside world.
Putting everything else aside, Chen Xing's prospective father-in-law, Zhang Guohua, was also considered a young leader at the provincial level. Zhang Guohua's steady, sharp, and innovative enthusiasm for reform was also discussed enthusiastically by the outside world. Some foreign media even listed Zhang Guohua as a strong contender for the top core leadership position in the next ten years.
At noon, Chen Xing had lunch with Zhao Fang and Zhang Mingde. Because Zhao Fang was present, Chen Xing and Zhang Mingde behaved in a normal manner, and only showed normal contact during work. Chen Xing admired Zhao Fang from the bottom of his heart. Chen Xing, who had worked beside Zhou Mingfang before, knew more than others. When Zhou Mingfang was the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he was already a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and had a superior status in Haicheng's officialdom. However, no matter how powerful Zhou Mingfang was, Zhao Fang, as the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was still able to occupy a seat in the Municipal Party Committee of Haicheng, and had his own voice in Haicheng's officialdom.
Perhaps outsiders would only think that Zhao Fang was the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and it was only natural for him to have such a status. However, as someone who was close to the core members of the Municipal Party Committee, Chen Xing knew how difficult it was for Zhao Fang to maintain his status and weight beside the powerful Zhou Mingfang. This was what Chen Xing thought of Zhao Fang in his heart.
After sending off the members of the Municipal Party Committee in the afternoon, Chen Xing and Zhang Mingde came to a tacit understanding and agreed to meet again in Haicheng. This time, as Zhao Fang was also present, they did not have the chance to have a good chat.
After Zhao Fang and Zhang Mingde left, Chen Xing returned to his office. When he walked out of the door, Chen Xing stopped in his tracks and stared at the signboard of the County Magistrate's Office hanging on the door. Chen Xing sighed in his heart. This time, he had no choice but to move his office to the County Party Committee. Although he was still the County Magistrate, Chen Xing would be resigning as the County Magistrate during the County People's Congress meeting in two days. As for the candidate for the new County Magistrate, Chen Xing recommended the Deputy County Magistrate, Fang Xiao. As for the final result, it was hard to say.
Li Shaotong, the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee, also wanted to fight for the position of County Magistrate. He had more seniority than Fang Xiao, and his prestige in the county was also higher than Fang Xiao's. When the former County Magistrate, Chang Yong, was in trouble, Li Shaotong also fought for the position of County Magistrate, but he lost to Chen Xing in the end. Now that Chen Xing had become the Secretary of the County Party Committee, Li Shaotong was obviously eager to fight for the position of County Magistrate. It was time for him to move his position as the Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee.
No one knew where Wu Gang got the news. In the evening, he called Chen Xing to congratulate Chen Xing on his promotion. The gap between County Magistrate and Secretary of the County Party Committee seemed to be easy, but many people were stuck in this gap and could not break it no matter how hard they tried. They were both at the divisional level, but they could not be compared. Thinking about who was in power, one could know the importance of the position of Secretary of the County Party Committee. At least, if one wanted to go one step further to be a deputy director, a County Magistrate had no advantage. Basically, he had to go through the position of Secretary of the County Party Committee.
Wu Gang had reported Zhu Mingxuan to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection with his real name. From yesterday to today, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had not called him, but he had received some threatening phone calls. The Zhu Family was indeed resourceful. Wu Gang reported Zhu Mingxuan to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection with his real name. The Zhu Family could get the news so quickly, which showed that the Zhu Family was powerful. If Zeng Jing had not sent two plainclothes policemen to book a room next to the hotel where Wu Gang lived, Wu Gang would have been worried about the safety of his wife and children.
When Wu Gang and Chen Xing talked about these things, Chen Xing also comforted them. Jiang City was the seat of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial government. The Zhu Family worked in the system. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to mess around in Jiang City. Besides, Zhang Ningning was also in Jiang City. Chen Xing smiled and told Wu Gang not to be polite to his fiancée. If there was anything, he could call Zhang Ningning at any time.
If I had not known the identity of my sister-in-law, I would not have dared to stay in Jiang City now. Wu Gang laughed and joked with Chen Xing on the phone. The night before yesterday, he had known that Zhang Ningning's identity was not simple. Just from the fact that Zhang Ningning could make Battalion Commander Xu Dewei of the garrison obediently cooperate with him, Wu Gang guessed that the elders in Zhang Ningning's family might be some high-level military officials. This was also the reason why Wu Gang could leave with Chen Xing and the others without any worries. Otherwise, when he heard Chen Xing's solemn promise to let him leave with them without any worries, Wu Gang would not be so confident. The scene he saw at the door undoubtedly made Wu Gang more confident. However, he did not know what Zhang Ningning's identity was.
Yesterday, after secretly asking Zeng Jing about it, Wu Gang was dumbfounded. He was really shocked. The fact that Zhang Ningning was the daughter of Zhang Guohua was enough to shock Wu Gang. Thinking that Zhang Ningning was from the Zhang Family, Wu Gang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. The surprise that Chen Xing gave him was really too big.
Zhang Ningning was Chen Xing's fiancée. Wu Gang knew that as long as Chen Xing cared about his affairs, Zhang Ningning would not stand by and do nothing. In the end, it was not impossible to attract the attention of the governor, Zhang Guohua. It was not easy for ordinary cadres to meet the governor. For Zhang Ningning, it was just a matter of going home for a meal. As long as she mentioned it at the dining table, it would be hard for Zhang Guohua not to know.
"Chen Xing, brother, I will follow you in the future. When you become successful, don't forget to support me." Wu Gang said to Chen Xing half jokingly and half seriously. He was very optimistic about Chen Xing's future. Look, how long had it been, and Chen Xing had become the Secretary of the County Party Committee. The speed of promotion was really fast. Why? Of course, there were people above him.
Wu Gang did not know how lucky he was to have made a deep friendship with Chen Xing when he was studying at the Party School. Chen Bin, who was in the same dormitory at that time, was disliked by Chen Xing because he was two-faced. Later, when he found out that Chen Xing was Zhou Mingfang's secretary, he did not know how much Chen Bin regretted it. However, this kind of relationship could not be made up no matter how hard he tried.
"Brother Wu, stay in Jiang City for a few days. I believe there will be a result. If I have time in the next few days, I will go to Jiang City to see you." Chen Xing could hear that Wu Gang was very relaxed. He did not take the threatening phone call to heart. Chen Xing was also much more relieved. Neither of them knew that while they were talking on the phone, Zhu Mingxuan, the Secretary of the County Party Committee of Kaiyuan County, was also thinking about making a bold move and going to Jiang City to arrest people.
