Golden sunlight shone into the office. The solemn and sacred party flag and national emblem were hanging high on the wall. This was Chen Xing's new office in the County Party Committee. Interestingly, right below Chen Xing's office was the office of Li Shaotong, the deputy secretary of the County Party Committee. Chen Xing didn't use Wang Dongchen's office. Instead, he asked the staff of the County Party Committee to arrange another office for him. It was said that when Li Shaotong learned that Chen Xing chose the office right above his office, Li Shaotong's face darkened all day. There was such a saying that Chen Xing wanted to step on Li Shaotong's head. These were just rumors, and no one knew the truth.
In the office, Chen Xing was sitting behind his desk, listening to the report of Zhou Zheng, the secretary of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Chen Xing's face darkened. What happened in Dongxi Village yesterday made Chen Xing furious. Under Chen Xing's instruction, the County Commission for Discipline Inspection intervened in the investigation. In just one night, they made a breakthrough. This case was actually not difficult, because Li Pinghai, the secretary of Dongxi Village, was very cooperative. Li Pinghai had exposed several people at the scene yesterday. Li Pinghai told them everything he knew. Even the officers of the Commission for Discipline Inspection were surprised. They had never encountered such an easy case, and it was the first time they saw the parties involved being so cooperative.
Zhou Zheng reported the general situation to Chen Xing. Li Rong, the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau, Zhang Jiande, the chief of the Urban Construction Section, and Zheng Jiangkun, the mayor of Dawu Town, had all received money from Li Pinghai. According to the relevant regulations, these people could be removed from their posts and investigated. But obviously, this was not Zhou Zheng's decision. Without Chen Xing, the secretary of the County Party Committee, no one could make such a decision.
These people are the scum of the cadres. If we don't get rid of them, we won't have the face to face the people. Chen Xing said calmly, but his face was full of murderous intent. Yesterday, these people had completely disgraced the cadres and the government's image. There were so many people watching the scene. In the end, Chen Xing had no face to stay here anymore. These were the good cadres cultivated by the Party and the country.
Okay, then I will go with County Chen. The Secretary's instructions were carried out. Zhou Zheng nodded. In the past, he used to call Chen County Magistrate Chen, but now he had to call Chen Secretary Chen. It was not easy for him to adapt to such a change, and he almost made a mistake again. Zhou Zheng could completely understand Chen Xing's decision. In his opinion, Chen Xing wanted to establish his authority. He had just been appointed as the Secretary of the County Party Committee, and he wanted to establish his authority with thunderous means. Zheng Jiangkun and the others were also unlucky to run into the muzzle of the gun at this critical moment.
Chen Xing did not know Zhou Zheng's speculation about his intention. Even if he knew, Chen Xing would not deny it. Although he was angry with Zheng Jiangkun and the other corrupt people, he also wanted to establish his authority by killing them so decisively. Anyway, it was killing two birds with one stone. Zhou Zheng's speculation about his intention was not necessarily wrong. After talking about this matter, Zhou Zheng planned to leave.
Chen Xing did not ask him to stay, but he still said a few words of support for the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Zhou Zheng smiled and sincerely expressed his intention to obey the leaders of the County Party Committee. In the officialdom of Xi Men, Zhou Zheng had never obviously belonged to any faction. He was a respectable cadre with a good reputation. When the sudden death of a prisoner in the Public Security Bureau was discussed at the last standing committee meeting, Zhou Zheng only voted for Lu Ming from the standpoint of the matter itself. Chen Xing had a deep impression of that scene, which also gave him a direct understanding of Zhou Zheng as a cadre. It was very suitable to put a person like Zhou Zheng in the mouth of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
After seeing Zhou Zheng off, Chen Xing had just sat down for a while when a phone call came. It was a strange number that directly called the internal line of his office. There were not many people who could call this number. They were either cadres in the county or leaders from above. However, Chen Xing had a general impression of those numbers. It was inevitable for Chen Xing to be confused since it was a strange number.
"Chen Xing, right?" The person on the other end of the phone directly called Chen Xing's name. The tone made Chen Xing feel uncomfortable. How to put it, there was a faint sense of arrogance.
"Who are you?" Chen Xing subconsciously felt a little unhappy.
"Zhu Huadong."
"Zhu Huadong?" Chen Xing frowned. "Who is this person who came to show off in front of me? The tone of the voice made me unhappy." Should I know you just by saying your name? "
"Why? Do you want me to introduce myself in detail?"
"That's fine."
"I really don't know who you are." Chen Xing said calmly. However, at this time, he had already begun to think hard because the name sounded really familiar, but he could not remember at the moment.
"Zhu Huadong, Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee and Director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee." The person on the other end of the phone did not seem to be angry. His tone was still the same. Other than a touch of arrogance, he could not hear any other emotions.
Chen Xing's heart tightened. He was more surprised and his attitude became more correct. "So it was Secretary-General Zhu. What instructions do you have?"
"Well, there are no instructions. This is just a private call. You don't have to treat it as an official matter." As Zhu Huadong spoke, he changed the topic. "I heard that you know Wu Gang?"
"Yes, I happen to know him." Chen Xing had already guessed what was going on. Wu Gang had told him about Zhu Mingxuan's background. His elder brother was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee. He was the confidant of Jiang Min, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. In the Provincial Party Committee, there was more than one Deputy Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and not all of them were very popular. Some of them were just marginal figures. However, Zhu Huadong was indeed a favorite of Jiang Min. This was also the reason why Zhu Mingxuan dared to do whatever he wanted. Of course, the power of the Zhu family was not only because of Zhu Huadong. There were also some other figures that could not be underestimated that formed the power network of the Zhu family. For example, Zhu Mingxuan's brother-in-law was the Director of the Jiangan Municipal Procuratorate. He was also a high-ranking official in the Zhu family.
"I heard something about Wu Gang's matter. Mingxuan did something wrong in this matter. I have already criticized him. Wu Gang returned to Kaiyuan County and was still the Deputy County Head. What do you think of this result?"
"What?" Chen Xing found it hard to wrap his head around it. Wait a minute, what do you mean by telling me all this? If you want to talk to Wu Gang, why are you talking to me? What's more, I'm just a small Secretary of the County Party Committee. Is it worth it for you, a favorite of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, to call me personally? "
What Chen Xing never lacked was self-knowledge. Although he had Zhou Mingfang behind him and was the prospective son-in-law of the Zhang family, the former was not a big deal, but the latter's identity could let him do whatever he wanted in Jianghai Province. Even in the capital, the identity of the son-in-law of the Zhang family could also bring endless benefits to Chen Xing. However, Chen Xing knew in his heart that there were only a few people who knew that he was the prospective son-in-law of the Zhang family, and these people did not include Zhu Huadong. Then, Zhu Huadong only knew that Chen Xing had been Zhou Mingfang's secretary. Zhou Mingfang's backer was really not enough to make Zhu Huadong look at Chen Xing with new eyes.
Yes, Zhou Mingfang was the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee. In the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, he was also a big figure. His ranking in the Standing Committee was relatively high, and the Organization Department was in charge of official hats. Zhou Mingfang's Organization Minister was really too deterrent to most cadres. However, most of the cadres basically referred to the level below the main hall. At the level of the main hall, this was a threshold. Further up, it was the cadres in charge of the Central Organization Department. The Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee could not manage it. To appoint a deputy provincial cadre, it also had to be reported to the Central Organization Department.
Of course, having said so, it did not mean that the cadres at the main hall level dared not to give face to Zhou Mingfang. After all, he was a Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Even if Zhou Mingfang did not have much say in the promotion of a main hall to a deputy provincial governor, it did not mean that he did not have the ability to spoil things. No cadres at the main hall level would be willing to offend a cadre with real power like Zhou Mingfang. Of course, it was a different story if they were from different factions.
However, Zhu Huadong was obviously not an ordinary main hall cadre. He was the favorite of the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Min. Even an ordinary deputy provincial governor would not necessarily dare to easily offend a department cadre like Zhu Huadong. It was not that they were afraid, but it was not necessary. They would really be looking for trouble with a person who could involve the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.
Zhu Huadong had such a background, so even if he faced Zhou Mingfang, Zhu Huadong would not be as afraid as the ordinary main hall cadre, but he would certainly maintain the due respect. Zhou Mingfang was also not an ordinary deputy provincial governor, but the object of his respect was only Zhou Mingfang himself, not Chen Xing, who had once been Zhou Mingfang's secretary!
Now, Chen Xing, who was the Secretary of the County Party Committee, was really nothing in Zhu Huadong's eyes. Even if a young Secretary of the County Party Committee like Chen Xing was indeed dazzling, it did not mean that he would be brilliant in the future. In the power center of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhu Huadong had seen too many ups and downs of people. Chen Xing was less than 30 years old, and he was the top kind. But when he was 40 years old, would Chen Xing be the main hall? The answer was no. The main hall was not so easy to be promoted.
Therefore, before Chen Xing was really qualified to be on an equal footing with Zhu Huadong, Zhu Huadong really did not need to be polite to Chen Xing, who was only at the county level. But at this moment, Zhu Huadong was indeed very polite, and he even asked for Chen Xing's opinion in an inquiring tone, which made Chen Xing feel strange. Did Zhu Huadong dial the wrong number? He wanted to call a big shot at the deputy provincial level, but he dialed the wrong number!!!
This kind of very improper thought flashed in Chen Xing's mind, because it was not an ordinary kind of unreliable person. Zhu Huadong even called out Chen Xing's name. How could it be possible that he dialed the wrong number? That kind of thing would not happen to him. Too many guesses flashed in Chen Xing's mind in an instant, but he just could not figure out the reason. Zhu Huadong did not know his relationship with the Zhang family at all, and his attitude towards him was really a bit strange.
Secretary General Zhu, shouldn't you tell Wu Gang about this result? Chen Xing asked tentatively.
As for Wu Gang, Mingxuan will tell him. As for you, I will tell him personally. I think this result should be able to satisfy you and your friend. Zhu Huadong was still slightly arrogant. Facing a county level cadre like Chen Xing, Zhu Huadong's psychological sense of superiority was really too big. His tone could be said to be instinctive, but this time, Zhu Mingxuan deliberately emphasized the word "friend", as if to imply something.
That's all for today. Next time you go to the provincial capital, if there is a chance, we can have a meal together. After Zhu Huadong finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone. He had conveyed his message. As for Chen Xing, there was really no need for him to waste too much energy. He made this call with ulterior motives, but he wanted Chen Xing to convey his message to the other side.
Chen Xing held the phone in a daze. He still clearly remembered what Zhu Huadong had said just now. After carefully thinking about what Zhu Huadong had said just now, Chen Xing suddenly slapped his thigh and dialed Wu Gang's number without saying anything. If Chen Xing wanted to solve some of the questions in his heart, he had to ask Wu Gang some questions.
As mentioned earlier, last night, Zhu Mingxuan took people from the Procuratorate to the hotel to stop Wu Gang in public. In the end, under the watchful eyes of the public, they wanted to take Wu Gang back to Kaiyuan County. In the end, it was two plainclothes policemen sent by Zeng Jing who temporarily stopped them, which delayed the time. Zeng Jing immediately called Chen Xing, and finally, it was Chen Xing who called Zhang Ningning.
A call from the Provincial Procuratorate solved the situation last night. There was no doubt that Zhang Ningning used the power of his father, Zhang Guohua. Zhang Guohua did not do it in person. It was his secretary, Yao Fei, who called the Provincial Procuratorate to express his concern about the matter. Later, a call from the Provincial Procuratorate to the Municipal Procuratorate alerted Zhang Xin, the chief prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate.
Zhang Xin knew what Zhu Mingxuan was doing. Wu Gang did not have a powerful background, so Zhang Xin did not ask much about it and let Zhu Mingxuan do whatever he wanted. Zhang Xin was inevitably shocked when he received the call from the Provincial Procuratorate. Especially after he inquired about the news that this call was personally ordered by Xu Dongmin, the boss of the Provincial Procuratorate. Zhang Xin was very shocked. He immediately called the people from the Municipal Procuratorate who followed Zhu Mingxuan and asked them to retreat quickly. At the same time, he did not forget to warn Zhu Mingxuan not to act rashly for the time being.
Zhu Mingxuan left the hotel reluctantly yesterday, but he could not bear Zhang Xin's warning and several people from the Municipal Procuratorate did not dare to act rashly. Zhu Mingxuan had to leave. That night, he went directly to Zhang Xin's house to ask what was going on. Zhang Xin was his brother-in-law, so he did not regard him as an outsider.
