"Zhang Jiande, come here." Lv Zecheng was really anxious. Chen Xing had said something harsh. If he didn't correct his attitude, he would lose his job as the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. Chen Xing had just become the secretary of the County Party Committee. It was normal for him to make an example of others. Thinking of that possibility, Lv Zecheng broke into a cold sweat. He didn't want to be the first one to be sacrificed.
"Director Lv, I … I know I was wrong." Zhang Jiande looked sad as if his mother had died. He glanced at Chen Xing and Fang Xiao next to him carefully. Zhang Jiande wanted to cry but had no tears. He had never committed murder or arson in his daily life. At most, he just drank a little and did some sex.
It was not a bad thing to have some women and earn some money at the same time. Why was he so unlucky today? Two leaders from the county came to the countryside for no reason, and he happened to bump into them.
"What's the use of apologizing to me? What's the use? Explain to me what's going on here. Now Secretary Chen and Deputy County Magistrate Fang are here. If you can't give a satisfactory explanation, I'll give you an unsatisfactory explanation." Lv Zecheng was facing Zhang Jiande with his back to Chen Xing and others. He almost lowered his voice to threaten Zhang Jiande. Lv Zecheng had no place to vent his anger. He directly said the harsh words that Chen Xing said to Zhang Jiande. Chen Xing gave him a cold face. Lv Zecheng didn't dare to have any ideas. He could only vent his anger on his subordinates.
"We received a report that someone was illegally building a house here, so we came here. Zhang Jiande said in a low voice. He still wanted to lie as much as he could. It was better to live than to die. No one would take the initiative to confess their crimes. If he was removed from the position of the section chief of the Urban Construction Section, it would be more serious than the death of his parents.
"You are a big man. Why do you speak in such a low voice? Didn't you eat breakfast? Speak louder." Lv Zecheng was furious. He thought to himself, "Good, good, Zhang Jiande. You still dare to deceive me at this time. Do you really think that I don't dare to deal with you? If I am fired, I will drag a few people down with me. I will remove you as the section chief first."
Zhang Jiande mumbled and didn't dare to speak. Chen Xing was staring at him. Zhang Jiande didn't dare to say anything like receiving a report. However, he also ignored the determination of Director Lv Zecheng. It was related to his official position. At this moment, Lv Zecheng was trying his best to show Chen Xing that it was not a big deal to sacrifice Zhang Jiande. The most important thing was to save himself. Anyway, Zhang Jiande was originally Deputy Director Li Rong's man and was not particularly close to him.
Say something, are you mute? Lv Zecheng glared at Chen Xing. He did not care whether he behaved rudely in front of the County Secretary or not. Chen Xing wanted him to give a satisfactory explanation. Lv Zecheng had to behave rudely. It was useless to talk gently to the cadres under him.
Director Lv, we really came here after receiving a report. Zhang Jiande's voice was as low as a mosquito. Lv Zecheng was so angry that he rolled his eyes and pointed to the side. "What's the matter with the bulldozer? Did the villagers call it themselves?" "What kind of law did you come here to execute? There are a lot of things to do in the bureau. Why did you come here?"
Zhang Jiande didn't dare to answer. He lowered his head and secretly looked at Li Rong behind Lv Zecheng, hoping that Li Rong could come out and say something for him. Li Rong saw Zhang Jiande looking at him. He rolled his eyes and kept winking at Zhang Jiande, indicating that Zhang Jiande should not look at him anymore. At this time, he also couldn't protect himself. With Chen Xing and Fang Xiao here, he didn't dare to show his face.
Director Lv, since he kept saying that someone reported him, you should ask him who reported him. Fang Xiao also said at this time.
Zhang Jiande's face turned pale and he glanced at Li Rong again. At this moment, Li Rong's eyes were avoiding Zhang Jiande's gaze. He didn't dare to look at Zhang Jiande at all. He knew that Zhang Jiande was counting on him to say something, but he was unwilling to do so. In his heart, he was still cursing Zhang Jiande for being an idiot. Why didn't he look at the current situation? He should take the responsibility and straighten his posture so that he could put in some good words in front of Lv Zecheng when Chen Xing and Fang Xiao left.
When Zhang Jiande saw that Li Rong was silent, he was very angry. If it was usual, he could calmly analyze the situation. But now, his mind was blank. Seeing that Li Rong didn't care, Zhang Jiande gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "I'm going all out. If I'm in trouble, I'll be in trouble with everyone. It's the village secretary, Li Pinghai.
The village secretary? Tell him to come to me, too. Chen Xing was very angry. This was the second time that he had lost his temper today.
Zhang Jiande had already decided to die as soon as possible. Hearing Chen Xing's words, he didn't dare to say anything. He took out his phone and made a call right in front of Chen Xing and the others. "Li Pinghai, come over now. I'm in your village, at the place you mentioned." Zhang Jiande was a little gloomy. He couldn't wait to drag everyone down with him. He still kept a calm tone when talking to Li Pinghai. He was afraid that Li Pinghai would hear some clues and be scared to come over.
Li Pinghai usually did not live in the village. He pulled a few construction teams in town and contracted projects. In the past few years, he had been doing very well. He was one of the few rich people in the village. He was able to become the secretary of the village branch because of his money.
"Old Zhang, have you settled everything? Hehe." Li Pinghai didn't know what had happened in the village. He thought that Zhang Jiande had done everything and asked him to pretend to be a good man and show off in front of the villagers.
"Well, come here quickly." Zhang Jiande answered vaguely and hung up the phone. Li Pinghai didn't notice anything unusual. He drove his Buick over happily.
Before Li Pinghai arrived, Zheng Jiangkun, the mayor of Dawu Town, arrived. No one knew where Zheng Jiangkun got the news, but he rushed over in a hurry. As soon as he got out of the car, he ran over, gasping for breath. Secretary Huang, Deputy Magistrate Fang.
"Jiangkun, how did you know we were here?" Fang Xiao had been accompanied by Zheng Jiangkun several times, so he was quite familiar with Zheng Jiangkun.
"I heard from my subordinates that you and Secretary Huang came to our town, so I came here immediately. What happened?" Zheng Jiangkun asked cautiously. It couldn't be a trivial matter if Chen Xing and Fang Xiao came here. He received a call from his subordinates that Chen Xing and Fang Xiao had appeared in Dongxi Village. Without saying anything, he got in the car and rushed over. As Zheng Jiangkun spoke, he saw Zhang Jiande at a glance. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Fang Xiao curled his lips and didn't answer. Chen Xing didn't look friendly, so Fang Xiao didn't try to get close to Zheng Jiangkun.
"Old Zhang, I'm here. Where are you? Why are there several cars parked here?" Li Pinghai stopped his car after arriving. He only saw cars parked on the side of the road and a dense crowd in front of them. He called Zhang Jiande first.
"That car is a leader from the county. Don't you always want to build a relationship with the leaders of the county committee and county government? Today is a great opportunity. Come here quickly and walk into the crowd. I'll introduce them to you." When Zhang Jiande said these words, he deliberately stayed away from Chen Xing and the others. He also lowered his voice. He thought that since he wouldn't end well, the others wouldn't be able to live a good life either.
"Okay, wait for me. I'll be right there." Li Pinghai was overjoyed when he heard that he could build a relationship with the leaders of the county. He didn't think carefully about why the leaders of the county would come here, since he was the one who invited Zhang Jiande to teach the villagers a lesson. There were too many strange things in this matter, and it couldn't stand further scrutiny. Moreover, Li Pinghai was already here, but he didn't notice that the atmosphere was not right. He hung up the phone and strode into the crowd.
With his round beer belly, Li Pinghai squeezed into the crowd effortlessly. In addition, when the people next to him saw that it was the secretary of the village, they hurried to make way for him. Zhang Jiande, who was looking around at Li Pinghai, soon saw his fat body. He walked over and grabbed Li Pinghai's hand, as if he was afraid that Li Pinghai would run away. He brought Li Pinghai in front of Chen Xing and the others.
"Ouch, Old Zhang, slow down. I'm almost 250 kilograms, and I can't stand your tossing." Li Pinghai was a little surprised by Zhang Jiande's enthusiasm today. He thought that Zhang Jiande was eager to introduce him to the leaders of the county. He thought that he should thank Zhang Jiande again if he could build a relationship with the leaders of the county.
Director Lu, this is the person who reported you, Li Pinghai, the secretary of the Dongxi Village. As soon as Zhang Jiande finished speaking, he glanced at Li Rong again. His meaning was self-evident. If Li Rong was in trouble, everyone would be in trouble together.
"The person who reported me?" Li Pinghai was still immersed in the sweet dream of building a relationship with the leaders of the county. He imagined that his business would become bigger and bigger in the future. For a moment, he didn't understand what Zhang Jiande meant. He just looked at Zhang Jiande in a daze.
"Li Pinghai, when did the government say that houses couldn't be built in this area? Take out the document for me." Before Chen Xing and others said anything, Zheng Jiangkun rushed to ask questions. Zheng Jiangkun came a little earlier than Li Pinghai. He learned about it quietly and roughly figured out what was going on. He was a little scared.
As the mayor, he had also heard about Li Pinghai's shady business. Before the villagers wanted to build a house, they had to show their filial piety to Li Pinghai first. They gave him some red envelopes, which cost at least one or two thousand yuan. If they didn't pay their respects to Li Pinghai, the Lord of the Land, first, if anyone wanted to build a house, the law enforcement vehicle of the Urban Construction Bureau would come immediately. Then, they would demolish the villagers' half-built houses on the grounds that there were regulations in the town.
Zhang Jiande, the chief of the Urban Construction Section of the Urban Construction Bureau, obviously colluded with Li Pinghai. The two had done this kind of shady business more than once or twice, and they made up a groundless reason about the town's regulations. So Zheng Jiangkun, the mayor, had also heard about it. But Zheng Jiangkun only felt that it was shameful for Li Pinghai to make this kind of money. He simply turned a blind eye to it. Because Li Pinghai had also paid his respects to him, Zheng Jiangkun felt that it was not worthwhile for him to say anything about such a trivial matter.
But there were always accidents. Zheng Jiangkun thought that Dawu Town was not a county. Although it was not far away from the government, the leaders of the county would not hear about such a trivial matter, so he didn't care about it. He didn't expect that the secretary and the deputy county magistrate would come today. Needless to say, Zheng Jiangkun was afraid. When he saw Zhang Jiande and the bulldozer, he roughly guessed what was going on. So he quietly asked the people next to him and confirmed his guess. Therefore, when he saw Li Pinghai, Zheng Jiangkun immediately gained the upper hand. It really had nothing to do with him.
"What … document?" Li Pinghai still couldn't wrap his head around it. Looking at the people in front of him, after a short period of shock, Li Pinghai finally came to his senses. He also recognized who the people in front of him were. Lv Zecheng, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, didn't need to be mentioned. He was very familiar with Li Rong, who often ate and drank with him. As for Chen Xing and Fang Xiao, they were the leaders of the county. Li Pinghai knew them, but unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to get to know them.
At this moment, Li Pinghai, who hadn't figured out what was going on, pretended to be at a loss and said. "Yes, the town said that this area along the highway may be planned and no more houses are allowed to be built. They are afraid that some people will fish in troubled waters and want to get more compensation. So as the secretary of the village, I naturally have to take this responsibility."
Zhang Jiande, who was standing next to Li Pinghai, rolled his eyes when he heard that Li Pinghai was still stubborn at this time. Even he couldn't bear it, let alone Li Pinghai, a small village secretary.
"Oh, really? Comrade Jiang Kun, is there such a rule in your town?" Chen Xing glanced at Zheng Jiangkun.
"Secretary Chen, there is no such rule in the town. If there is such a rule, I know it very well." Being stared at by Chen Xing, Zheng Jiangkun's heart tightened for no reason. He didn't participate in Li Pinghai's shady business, but he could more or less be held responsible for his inaction. Now that he was stared at by Chen Xing, Zheng Jiangkun felt guilty.
"That's not right. I heard that the town has such a rule. Maybe it hasn't been written yet. But I think it's not bad to prepare for it in advance. It can save a lot of trouble in the future planning and construction of the town." Li Pinghai was quick-witted. Although he wasn't a government official, he ran his own business and made money by contracting projects. He was one of the few people in the village who became rich. He was very shrewd. His answer made Zhang Jiande look at him with new eyes.
Li Rong didn't say anything at first, but now he looked at Zheng Jiangkun a few more times. Although he used to eat and drink with Zheng Jiangkun, he thought Zheng Jiangkun was a country bumpkin. If it wasn't for money, Li Rong wouldn't even bother to talk to him.
"Li Pinghai, don't talk nonsense to me. When did the town have such a rule? I don't care where you heard the rumor, but don't talk nonsense in front of the county leaders." Zheng Jiangkun stared at him.
"Secretary Chen, what Li Pinghai said is also reasonable. Now, if there is any movement in the government, all kinds of rumors will spread. Li Pinghai might have heard some rumors and mistakenly thought that the town had such a rule. That's why he was more active, which led to today's situation. I think today's incident may be a misunderstanding." When Zhang Jiande saw that Li Pinghai was talking nonsense, he hurriedly helped him. Anyway, he was going to be hurt anyway.
Director Lu, Secretary Chen, today, I received a report from Li Pinghai, so I came to order the villagers to stop building houses. However, I did have a problem with my law enforcement attitude, and I am willing to make a self-criticism to the bureau. Zhang Jiande spoke up for Li Pinghai and hurriedly admitted his mistake. Since Chen Xing had seen what happened today, there was no way he could avoid it. Therefore, he might as well admit it voluntarily. As long as the matter was settled, his collusion with Li Pinghai, corruption and bribery would not be discovered, and his crime would be much lighter. At most, he would just have to take some action and be punished.
Secretary Chen, things are not like what they said. I am from Dongxi Village, and I have the most right to speak the truth. Li Pinghai relied on his wealth and power, and he was also the secretary of the village. He asked the villagers to give him some money before building houses. If anyone didn't have money, he would ask the Urban Construction Bureau to come and enforce the law. Just like what happened today, it was not the first time that something like this happened in the village. In the end, no one dared to say anything, and everyone who wanted to build houses had to give Li Pinghai a red packet first. Hearing Li Pinghai and Zhang Jiande's words, Jiang Wan boldly stood up.
Jiang Wan, what nonsense are you talking about? Although I have scolded you before, you can't slander me in front of the leaders like this. People in the village say you are a jinx, and I think you are. Li Pinghai panicked. Revealing his ferocious expression, he walked towards Jiang Wan. There was nothing he wouldn't dare to do to this girl who had always been meek and submissive. With a hint of warning in his eyes, with his back facing Chen Xing and the others, Li Pinghai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Jiang Wan, if you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for taking care of your family as well.
After saying that, Li Pinghai walked back with a flattering smile on his face. "Secretary Chen, don't listen to her nonsense. Jiang Wan has a bad reputation in the village. She often hooks up with men. People in the village look down on her. I have only scolded her a few times. Maybe she still holds a grudge against me, so she deliberately slandered me."
Secretary Chen, what I just said is the truth. You saw it before Li Pinghai came. I believe you must have seen the truth of the matter. Everyone says that you are a just and upright person. Since you came to Dongxi Village, you have done a few good deeds and are willing to stand up for the people. I believe you will not let us be wronged. " Jiang Wan was not afraid of Li Pinghai's threat at all.
"B * tch … sooner or later, I will f * ck you in front of everyone." Li Pinghai's cheeks trembled and he stared at Jiang Wan coldly. How could he not see what was going on? The situation was very disadvantageous to him. But at this time, Li Pinghai was more shocked. He didn't expect that Jiang Wan, a little girl who didn't dare to say anything when she was wronged in the past, would be so bold today. In fact, not only Li Pinghai was surprised, but also the villagers nearby. Even Jiang Wan's parents-in-law and family couldn't believe their eyes. Was Jiang Wan possessed by a ghost today?
When Chen Xing heard Jiang Wan's words, he couldn't help but laugh. Jiang Wan was not stupid. She put a big hat on him. He couldn't ignore it. But he was standing here, so how could he just stand by and watch?
Director Lv, everyone has a set of excuses. As the director in charge of the urban construction work, can't you tell who is lying? Chen Xing didn't say anything to Zhang Jiande and other small figures. He directly put pressure on Lv Zecheng. It was not difficult to figure out what was going on. Even if there were any rules in the town, it was not enforced by the County Urban Construction Bureau. This was not right. Zhang Jiande and Li Pinghai thought that they had covered up the lie.
Zhang Jiande, you don't have to come to work tomorrow. You will be suspended for investigation. Lv Zecheng didn't dare to be careless. He directly got to the point.
Director Lv, I really didn't know. I just received a report from the village secretary, Li Pinghai, and came to enforce the law. If I knew there was such an inside story, I would never do this. I also didn't expect Li Pinghai to be such a person. Zhang Jiande lost his mind. It was one thing to know that he would not have a good ending. But when he heard that he was suspended in public, he still panicked.
Li Rong secretly scolded Zhang Jiande for being an idiot. How could he defend himself at this time? A little investigation would expose him. Zhang Jiande's action was equivalent to pushing Li Pinghai into a fire pit. If Li Pinghai counterattacked and spat out everything, not only would Zhang Jiande be finished, but Li Rong himself would also be in danger.
In Li Rong's view, the most important thing at this time was to keep silent. As long as Li Pinghai didn't say anything, and Zhang Jiande also agreed with Li Pinghai, Chen Xing couldn't do anything to them today. He didn't need to be afraid of the investigation afterwards, because he had bought time for them at that time. They could make a statement first and be ready to destroy the evidence. Now that Zhang Jiande messed things up, he was afraid that Li Pinghai would be angry and spit out everything. Li Rong thought about this in his mind. At the same time, he stared at Li Pinghai nervously, hoping that Li Pinghai wouldn't be confused.
Zhang Jiande, you … Li Rong was destined to be disappointed. Li Pinghai looked at Zhang Jiande angrily. He didn't intend to give up Zhang Jiande first, but Zhang Jiande betrayed him first.
Secretary Chen, Zhang Jiande has received a lot of money from me. Otherwise, why would he come here so eagerly? Who would believe it? Also, I have to give him a lot of the money I got from the villagers, and he still gets the most of it. Li Pinghai, who was angry, turned to Chen Xing and complained.
Seeing Chen Xing, Fang Xiao, and his immediate boss Lv Zecheng were all looking at him, and Li Rong was still winking at him, Zhang Jiande was very angry. I will give you up too. Secretary Chen, Deputy County Magistrate Fang, I had no choice. I was not the only one who received the money. Director Li also received the money. He colluded with Secretary Li. It was he who approved me to come here to enforce the law. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so bold.
F * ck! Li Rong's eyes were blazing with anger. He looked as though he wanted to devour Zhang Jiande alive. Li Rong didn't have time to think too much about it. He quickly explained to Chen Xing, "Secretary Chen, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm innocent. This Zhang Jiande is simply spouting nonsense.
Director Li, don't pretend. You also received a lot of money from me. Li Pinghai sneered. A man with nothing was not afraid of a man with shoes. At worst, he would go bankrupt. Today, he was ready to risk everything. Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. If I can't escape today, Zhang Jiande, Li Rong, and the others won't have an easy time. You want me to be the scapegoat? There is no way. I said that I am just a village secretary. No matter how serious the crime is, it can't be compared with Zhang Jiande and Li Rong.
Secretary Li, what nonsense are you talking about? We know each other. What evidence do you have to say that I received money from you? Li Rong was angry. It was not that he didn't receive money, but Li Pinghai dared to accuse him.
Hmph, you're really shameless. None of you officials are good. Your hearts are blacker than anyone else's. A few days ago, you were eating and drinking with me, calling me brother. I just received ten thousand dollars, and now you're saying that you don't know me. If you want evidence, I'm the best evidence. Of course, if you want other evidence, I won't disappoint you. At this time, Li Pinghai was like a madman. He wouldn't let go of whoever he bit. What he said was even more unscrupulous.
Chen Xing and Fang Xiao's faces darkened. Li Pinghai's words were like a stick to kill everyone. However, they couldn't refute him. Even if what he said was extreme, it was not completely wrong. At this time, Zheng Jiangkun was so scared that his legs were trembling. Li Pinghai was like a mad dog at this moment. Zheng Jiangkun was afraid that he would be bitten.
Secretary Chen, I am really innocent. You must believe me. Today, Zhang Jiande and Li Pinghai are not reconciled to their crimes. They want to frame me. Li Rong hurriedly explained to Chen Xing.
Then why didn't they frame Jiang Kun? Why did they frame you? Fang Xiao glanced at Li Rong coldly. He couldn't stand it anymore, let alone Chen Xing. Fang Xiao didn't know that when he said this, Zheng Jiangkun next to him stiffened and his lips turned pale. Looking at Li Pinghai, Zheng Jiangkun's nerves were tense.
"Mayor Zheng, why are you so nervous? Did you take too much money from me? You're burning your hands." Li Pinghai seemed to be crazy.
What? Fang Xiao was surprised and looked at Zheng Jiangkun. Another person was involved. He even mentioned Jiang Kun just now. Fang Xiao wanted to slap himself.
Li Pinghai, are you crazy? You are talking nonsense. Secretary Huang, Deputy Mayor Fang, I think Li Pinghai is crazy today. He is like a mad dog that bites people. Don't listen to his nonsense. Zheng Jiangkun angrily scolded Li Pinghai and explained.
Secretary Chen, I think Li Pinghai is really crazy today. I suggest that we send him to the hospital for a check-up to make sure there is no problem. Then we can interrogate him. Li Rong also agreed. He wanted to buy more time for himself.
Ha, why? Do you also want to give me a mental case? Secretary Chen, what I said today is the truth. You can send people to investigate. Nothing I said is false. Li Pinghai was really going all out.
Look at you, look at you. This is the good cadres cultivated by the Party. Chen Xing was so angry that he laughed. Looking at Zheng Jiangkun, Li Rong, and the others, Chen Xing snorted and turned to leave. They didn't feel ashamed, but he felt ashamed. His image as a cadre had been ruined. This was the good cadres cultivated by the Party. They were biting each other in front of the people. As the County Party Secretary, he didn't have the face to stay here anymore.
As soon as Chen Xing left, Fang Xiao and the others also left. Chen Xing said, "Xiao He, arrange for the County Commission for Discipline Inspection to intervene in the investigation. I want a result."
Just as Chen Xing got in the car, a delicate figure ran behind him. Secretary Huang, please take me away first. I am afraid that they will take revenge on me if I stay here.
Get in the car. Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Fang Xiao and the others were beside him, but Chen Xing didn't show that he knew them.
Because of Jiang Wan, Wang Zhong had to squeeze into Fang Xiao's car. The two cars returned to the county. On the way back, Jiang Wan bit her lips tightly and didn't say anything. Chen Xing didn't say anything either. Thinking of how the cadres were biting each other like street thugs, Chen Xing's heart was heavy. The construction of the cadre team had a long way to go.
When the car was about to reach the county, Jiang Wan said softly, "Secretary Chen, thank you for just now."
"Thank me? What do I have to thank you for? " Chen Xing smiled and turned to look at Jiang Wan. "I should thank you for helping us find the scum in the cadre team."
"Really?" Jiang Wan smiled faintly. What happened to Li Pinghai and the others had nothing to do with her. She was a weak woman and couldn't worry about that. She only knew that she had the courage to stand out because she saw Chen Xing today. Now, she didn't regret what she had done at all. From now on, she would live for herself. She didn't want to submit to adversity anymore. She just wanted to live like a human being.
"Your performance today surprised me." There was nothing more to say, so Chen Xing casually replied with a smile. When He Qi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, heard that his leader actually knew this young woman, he hurriedly looked out of the window. He couldn't hear anything.
"I don't want to be bullied anymore. I'm used to that kind of life. I want to change myself. Today, your appearance gave me the courage. Otherwise, I might have listened to you and entered the house that was being built. If the bulldozer had really pushed it, I might have been a corpse by now." Jiang Wan smiled sorrowfully.
"Less than four days after I married into their family, Jianye got into a car accident. My legs were crippled, and my family jewels were damaged. As a newlywed wife, I became a widow from then on, but I never thought of cheating or getting a divorce. I worked hard to serve my husband for several years and treated my parents-in-law like my own parents. No matter how much they insulted me, I resented them and was unwilling, but I didn't talk back. I still worked hard to do what I had to do. I hoped that one day I could move them. Today's scene made me completely give up. I've done so much for their family, but in the end, my life is just a cheap life. They don't take my life seriously, so why should I still be a little wife who swallows humiliation?"
"Ahem, it's a good thing that you can understand. A girl has to pay a price for being self-reliant. It's not easy to be a strong woman, but you've bravely taken the first step. That's a great start." Chen Xing's expression was not very natural. Jiang Wan really didn't treat him as an outsider. She even mentioned that her husband's family jewels had lost their physiological function. It wasn't impossible to say it, but she could at least choose a time and place. Now there was a driver and a secretary in the car. Chen Xing was really embarrassed.
"No matter how difficult it is in front of me, I've taken this step today. I'll stick to it. No matter how hard it is, I won't regret it." Jiang Wan said firmly.
"Well, I wish you success in advance." Chen Xing smiled and nodded. "When I see you, I think of a friend. She used to be a middle school teacher, but now she is the chairman of a group. Although I also know what price she paid to achieve such success, it must not be easy. I also wish you such an achievement."
Looking at Jiang Wan's gentle face, Chen Xing didn't know why he thought of Zhong Ling. Compared with Zhong Ling, Jiang Wan was more mature and beautiful, but her temperament was most similar to that of Chu Rong. There was a sense of weakness in her beauty, which made people couldn't help but want to protect her.
"Secretary Chen's friends are all so outstanding. If I can be like him, that will be great." Jiang Wan didn't know whether the friend Chen Xing mentioned was a man or a woman, but Chen Xing's words made her fantasize a little more. Maybe she could have such a day.
"You will. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that after failure, you will not be able to recover." Chen Xing smiled and encouraged Jiang Wan. "We've arrived at the county town. I'm going back to the office. Where do you plan to get off?"
"I can go anywhere." Jiang Wan said indifferently. Looking at Chen Xing, Jiang Wan made a request. "Secretary Chen, I offended Li Pinghai today. I'm afraid that he will take revenge on my family. Can I ask Chen Xing for help?"
"Don't worry. They can't protect themselves." Chen Xing's face turned cold. "Today, these people have lost the face of the government. Chen Xing will not be lenient."
"I'm afraid that they will take revenge on others before they are punished." Jiang Wan said worriedly.
"Well, I'll ask someone to inform the local police station and ask them to keep an eye on them these two days. You can rest assured in this way." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
At an intersection, Jiang Wan got off the car. Chen Xing didn't ask where she was going and went back to his office. In the evening, when Chen Xing got off work, he went to a dinner party. When he returned to the guest house, Chen Xing saw a figure sitting on a stone bench under a tree from a distance. He walked closer and found it was Jiang Wan.
"Why are you here?" Chen Xing asked, puzzled.
"I wandered around the county town and thought that I had nowhere to go, so I came to your place. Fortunately, I know where you live. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to go." Jiang Wan smiled softly. Her face was inexplicably red, but it was covered up by the night sky.
"Oh, then come in and have a seat?" Chen Xing looked at her.
"Hmm." Jiang Wan's voice was like a fine line. Her face became redder, but Chen Xing didn't notice.
After turning on the lights in the room, Chen Xing found that Jiang Wan's fair face was red. He didn't pay much attention to it and gestured for Jiang Wan to sit down. Chen Xing poured her a glass of water and sat down on the sofa.
He turned on the TV. Chen Xing watched today's rebroadcast of Hai City News. From time to time, he glanced at Jiang Wan, waiting for her to speak. However, Jiang Wan just lowered her head and held the glass with both hands, turning it from time to time.
