Who is it? Lin Yupei had already followed Chen Xing out. Even though she was asking Chen Xing, her eyes were filled with indignation and fury. She almost fell into Chen Xing's arms just now, but the sudden voice from outside the door ruined her plans.
I don't know. I didn't see anyone. Chen Xing shook his head in confusion. He took a few steps forward and looked at the other offices with lights on. There were several staff members in them. Those who had not left at this time were staying to work overtime. Some of them directly ordered dinner and ate in the office. From time to time, they chatted with their colleagues at the neighboring desk. Everything was normal.
Every time Chen Xing walked past an office, he would stop and look at the staff inside. When the staff saw Chen Xing, they immediately stood up and greeted him, "Director Chen." Their expressions were normal. Chen Xing walked back without finding anything. He was unhappy and stopped in front of an office near his office. That was an office in the General Affairs Department. There were three staff working overtime. Chen Xing asked, "Did you see someone pass by just now?"
"No." The three of them looked at each other. One of them answered Chen Xing with a puzzled face.
Chen Xing nodded to the staff and did not say anything.
Director Chen, did you find anything? Lin Yupei also looked at Chen Xing strangely. She was sure that it was the sound of shoes colliding with the office door. Without a doubt, someone must have been hiding by the door and left in a hurry after making the sound. But now, he had disappeared without a trace. Even Lin Yupei felt that it was a little strange.
"No." Chen Xing shook his head and walked back to his office. He frowned. Was there really someone standing beside the door just now? Or was it an illusion? Chen Xing looked at Lin Yupei. He felt something was wrong today. He suppressed his doubts and asked Lin Yupei. "Director Lin, did you also feel someone was standing beside the door just now?
I thought there was someone standing beside the door, but … I didn't see anyone when I came out. I don't know if it was an illusion. " Lin Yupei didn't dare to say that there was someone at the door.
Hehe, it's probably because we're too nervous. Chen Xing smiled and walked back to the office. He turned off the lights and closed the door. Chen Xing lowered his head and glanced at Lin Yupei's leg. He smiled. He had an appointment with someone tonight, so he could only make another appointment with Director Lin. Director Lin's leg should be fine, right?
He could barely walk. Since it was an elevator, it should not be a problem for him to walk to his car. Lin Yupei said helplessly. After what had happened just now, she no longer had the intention to tease Chen Xing. As for whether she had really sprained her ankle, only she knew.
Alright then, I'll make a move first. Director Lin, are you leaving now? Chen Xing nodded.
I'll go down with Director Chen. I have nothing to do anyway. Lin Yupei's stomach was growling with hunger. She had wanted to ask Chen Xing out for dinner, but now her plan was ruined. Lin Yupei could only go back by herself.
The two of them entered the elevator together. The staircase of the building was diagonally opposite the elevator. Just as the elevator went down, a woman suddenly walked out from the door behind the staircase. The woman was holding a pair of high heels and wearing a pair of black stockings. She looked down and saw that her feet were bare. Looking at the direction of the elevator, the woman patted her chest and let out a long breath. Feeling the coolness from her feet, the woman hurriedly put on her shoes.
Lin Yupei, this slut. After seducing Wang Rongyan, she wanted to seduce Chen Xing. She was really a slut. As the woman put on her shoes, she cursed in a low voice.
Downstairs, Chen Xing sent Lin Yupei to the car. At this time, Lin Yupei could walk very well. Chen Xing looked at her in confusion. He didn't say anything, but he suspected that Lin Yupei had deliberately sprained her ankle. It was not too serious. Judging from Lin Yupei's behavior in the office just now, this possibility was very high.
"Where are Director Chen going for dinner? Do you want me to give you a ride?" Lin Yupei smiled and winked at Chen Xing.
"No, there will be a car to pick me up later. Director Lin, hurry back, or your stomach will protest." Chen Xing smiled and declined. He waved at Lin Yupei and walked to the door.
At the door, there was already a car parked there. When it saw Chen Xing, the car horn sounded. Seeing this, Chen Xing walked over and opened the door to the car. Sun Changsheng, the director of the Western District Public Security Bureau, was in the car. Seeing that Chen Xing was seated, Sun Changsheng started the car and said with a smile, "Director Chen, are you used to Sichuan cuisine? I know a very authentic Sichuan cuisine restaurant. The chef there is very good. Do you want to try it, Director Chen?
Okay, you can arrange it. It is so cold in Beijing. Eating some spicy food can warm you up. " Chen Xing smiled and nodded. "Director Sun, how is Chen Zhongwei?"
"Chen Zhongwei?" When Sun Zhangsheng heard this, he was stunned. He glanced at Chen Xing through the rearview mirror, thinking that Chen Xing was going to denounce him. Sun Zhangsheng's expression was a little unnatural as he smiled embarrassedly. Director Chen, the last time we investigated Chen Zhongwei's case, it wasn't a big problem. Moreover, there were people in the bureau who pleaded on his behalf. I thought that Director Chen didn't have any special instructions and you probably couldn't be bothered to deal with such a small character, so I decided to let him off this time. It's my negligence. If Director Chen isn't satisfied, I can immediately arrange for someone to arrest him again. Anyway, he's not clean and our bureau has a criminal record. Director Chen can arrest him with just a word.
"Haha, Director Sun, you really underestimate me. Is it necessary for me to deliberately make things difficult for him?" Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
"Director Chen, of course, you don't think highly of him. You won't lower yourself to his level." Sun Changsheng realized that it was not what he thought, so he relaxed and flattered Chen Xing. If he really made Chen Xing unhappy about Chen Zhongwei, he would suffer a great loss. It was just a deputy director of the bureau who pleaded on behalf of Chen Zhongwei. He thought it was not a big deal. The key was that Chen Xing did not say anything, so Sun Changsheng decided to let Chen Zhongwei go. The deputy director of the bureau was his close friend. Sun Changsheng had to give him face.
"Director Sun has Chen Zhongwei's phone number, right? Ask him to come over for dinner." Chen Xing smiled faintly. He was already used to Sun Changsheng's flattery.
"What?" Sun Changsheng's eyes widened. He thought he had heard it wrong. He turned to look at Chen Xing in disbelief. "Did Director Chen say that he wanted to ask Chen Zhongwei to come over for dinner?"
"That's right. Call him and ask him to come over." Chen Xing nodded with certainty.
"…" Sun Changsheng was speechless. Chen Zhongwei was just a hooligan in the western city district because he had some support in the branch. Of course, Chen Zhongwei could be classified as the leader of the hooligans. However, in Sun Changsheng's eyes, he was just a nobody. If he wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as lifting his foot. That's why when someone in the bureau begged for mercy, Sun Changsheng took advantage of the situation and did him a favor. No matter what, he could deal with this person at any time. I didn't expect that Chen Xing would suddenly ask about this guy. Not only did he not want to punish him, but he also wanted to invite him over for dinner. Sun Changsheng wondered if the sun had risen from the west today.
I asked someone to call him and ask him to come over. Sun Changsheng didn't have Chen Zhongwei's phone number, but it didn't stop him from asking someone to come over. However, Chen Xing's request made Sun Changsheng suspicious. He smiled and said, "Why did Director Chen ask this kid to eat with us? This kid has never done his job properly.
I need him to get to the bottom of something. " Chen Xing didn't hide it from Sun Changsheng. Anyway, he had to explain it to him during dinner.
"Oh?" Sun Changsheng was more surprised. He glanced at Chen Xing and smiled politely. "If Director Chen needs anything, as long as I can do it, Director Chen, just tell me. I won't say that I'll go through fire and water, but I'll do it beautifully to satisfy Director Chen."
"Now is not the time for you to show up. We'll talk about it later." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
When the car arrived at the Szechuan restaurant mentioned by Sun Zhangsheng, Chen Zhongwei, who was notified halfway, arrived even earlier than the two of them. He was standing in the parking space. He recognized Sun Zhangsheng's car, an ordinary Volkswagen Bora. Chen Zhongwei had been waiting for the car since a long time ago. The moment the car stopped, Chen Zhongwei rushed forward and helped open the door. His attitude was extremely respectful, and his face was full of smiles. Director Chen, Director Sun.
If Chen Zhongwei still didn't know the identity of Chen Xing, he could go and bang his head against the wall. After knowing who he had provoked, Chen Zhongwei was so scared that he almost fell on the ground. This time, he was lucky to escape. Tonight, he received a call from his backer in the branch office, saying that Sun Changsheng asked him to go over. Chen Zhongwei was so scared that he almost ran away. Later, after asking carefully, he found that things were not as terrible as he thought. However, when he thought that Sun Changsheng and Chen Xing had asked him to come over for dinner for no reason, Chen Zhongwei couldn't feel at ease.
Director Chen, Director Sun, I've booked the private room. You two, please. Chen Zhongwei bowed and wanted to lower his head to the ground. Looking at Chen Xing and Sun Changsheng, he felt closer to them than seeing his own parents.
Sun Changsheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Zhongwei. He didn't even want to talk to him. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xing asked Chen Zhongwei to do something, Sun Changsheng wouldn't even bother to blink at him.
In the private room, Chen Zhongwei sent away the waiter inside and directly played the role of a waiter, serving tea and pouring water. His attitude was not ordinary. After doing this, Chen Zhongwei rubbed his hands together and smiled foolishly. He did not dare to sit down and just stood at the side, the nerves on his head still tense.
"You sit down too." Chen Xing pointed at the chair and gestured for him to sit down.
Chen Xing's words weren't enough. Chen Zhongwei laughed dryly and glanced at Sun Changsheng carefully. Chen Xing was out of reach for him, but Sun Changsheng could directly decide his fate. Chen Zhongwei was very clear in his mind. Without Sun Changsheng's permission, Chen Zhongwei didn't dare to sit down.
"Director Chen asked you to sit down, so sit down. Why are you looking at me?" Sun Changsheng snorted softly. Chen Zhongwei then sat down carefully. He kept smiling, so much so that his face almost cramped.
"Chen Zhongwei, right?" Chen Xing looked at him.
"Director Chen, you can call me Xiao Chen. Just call me Xiao Chen." Chen Zhongwei, whose butt was only touching the side of the chair, saw that Chen Xing was talking to him. He immediately stood up.
"Tut, sit down." Chen Xing looked at the other party with an amused expression. Little Chen, the reason why I called you over tonight is because I have something I need you to do for me.
Chen Zhongwei was stunned for a moment. Soon, he became wild with joy. "Director Chen, tell me, tell me. I will go through fire and water for you." After Chen Zhongwei finished speaking, he seemed to be panting heavily. Since he received the phone call, he had been frightened and on tenterhooks. Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. His taut nerves relaxed, and his whole body also relaxed. It turned out that he had thought too much. The other party did not intend to settle accounts with him at all.
"Are you familiar with Zhonghai University?" Chen Xing glanced at Chen Zhongwei.
"Yes, as long as it is in the western part of the city, I am familiar with it. Hehe, there are a lot of beautiful women in Zhonghai University." As soon as Chen Zhongwei relaxed, he habitually talked in a frivolous tone. After that, he suddenly realized that the person sitting in front of him today was not a fair-weather friend. He immediately smiled awkwardly. "Director Chen, get to the point. Get to the point. I'm listening."
"Well, the administrative office building that Zhonghai University is going to build is built by Pengxing Construction Co., Ltd. The vice principal, Jiang Weishan, is in charge of the school's infrastructure. If you have nothing to do, go and ask about it." Chen Xing said calmly.
"Ask about it?" Chen Zhongwei couldn't wrap his head around it. He stared at Chen Xing in a daze. "They are building an office building. Why should I ask about it?" "Didn't you say that it was built by Pengxing Construction Company? You even told me who the vice principal in charge of the infrastructure is. Why should I ask about it?"
Not only was Chen Zhongwei in a daze, but Sun Zhangsheng, who had already pricked up his ears to listen, was also confused. "What is Chen Xing doing?" "This seems to have nothing to do with Chen Xing."
Chen Xing did not explain anything after he finished speaking. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. Sun Zhangsheng, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment. He realized that Chen Xing was trying to find out if there was anything fishy going on between Jiang Weishan and Pengxing Construction Company. Sun Zhangsheng had been working in the public security sector for so many years and had come into contact with many cases. The infrastructure and logistics of a school had always been the two areas that were most prone to corruption. It was fine if there were no incidents, but once there were, several school leaders would be implicated.
Sun Zhangsheng thought about it and didn't remind Chen Zhongwei. He could see that Chen Xing didn't want to make it too clear. He guessed that Chen Xing just wanted to know about it in private. No wonder Chen Xing also said that it was not suitable for him to deal with it. Let's not talk about whether there was any financial problem in it. Even if there was, the first to get involved would be the prosecution. It was not the Public Security Bureau's turn to rush to the front.
"Director Chen, do you want to find out if there is something wrong with that vice-principal called Jiang Weishan and Pengxing Construction Company?" Chen Zhongwei looked at Chen Xing with uncertainty. He slowly guessed it.
"Ahem, I want you to go to Zhonghai University if you have nothing to do." Chen Xing rolled his eyes. "Who told you to say it so clearly?"
"Okay, okay, I will go there often recently." Chen Zhongwei nodded with a smile. He finally confirmed what Chen Xing meant. "Director Chen, don't worry.
Don't worry, I'm the best at these little things. If there's any progress, I'll definitely tell you immediately, Director Chen.
"Okay, I will wait for your good news." Chen Xing nodded lightly. After talking about business, Chen Xing smiled and said to Sun Zhangsheng, "Director Sun, don't just sit there. Let's eat.
Let me pour some wine for you. " Chen Zhongwei stood up with a smile. He knew better than anyone else how important it was to serve these two people in front of him. It might even be an opportunity for him to make a meteoric rise in his career.
The three of them ate and chatted until eight o 'clock. It was mainly Chen Xing and Sun Zhangsheng talking. Chen Zhongwei served them attentively. From time to time, he would make fun of them. Occasionally, he would make Chen Xing and Sun Zhangsheng laugh. Chen Zhongwei didn't have any other skills, but he knew a lot about crooked things and was good at talking.
Looking at the time, Chen Xing was ready to leave. He came here tonight to ask Chen Zhongwei to do something. This kind of person was ignorant and incompetent, but he was the most suitable person to do this kind of thing. Chen Xing only thought of Chen Zhongwei during the day. Chen Zhongwei was a local tyrant in the west city district. Although he was not famous, he was suitable to do some dirty work.
"Director Sun, let's get together next time." As the three of them talked and walked out, Chen Xing smiled and said to Sun Zhangsheng.
"Director Chen, you can call me at any time. I will definitely be free." Sun Zhangsheng smiled and nodded. He glanced at Chen Zhongwei next to him. Although Sun Zhangsheng was very reluctant, he had to admit that he had benefited from Chen Zhongwei today. In the evening, he was still wondering why Chen Xing thought of him. He thought to himself, "When did I become so respected that Chen Xing remembered to treat me to dinner?" At first, he thought that Chen Xing had something to ask him to do. It turned out that he was looking for Chen Zhongwei.
When they walked out of the private room, the way from the corridor to the stairs was blocked. When Chen Xing and the others were in the private room, they faintly heard the noise. When they walked out, they saw that there were people arguing in front of them. It seemed that they were going to fight. Fortunately, there were people from the hotel who stopped them. Seeing this, Chen Zhongwei, who was walking in front, immediately turned his head and smiled at Chen Xing and Sun Zhangsheng. "Director Huang, Director Sun, wait for me. I will open the way."
As Chen Zhongwei spoke, he swaggered over. He had the posture of a fox exploiting the tiger's might and was full of energy. Move aside, move aside. What's the point of arguing in the restaurant? You're blocking the road. How am I supposed to get through?
"It's none of your business. You are looking for a fight …" The person in front was pushed by Chen Zhongwei. He turned around and cursed. When he saw that it was Chen Zhongwei, he was stunned for a moment. Then he sneered. "Hey, isn't this Chen Zhongwei? When did he become so powerful?"
"Hey, Wu Ming, what a coincidence." Chen Zhongwei smiled slyly. It would be strange if he didn't recognize Wu Ming from behind. It was because he recognized him that he intentionally didn't know and pushed him from behind.
"Chen Zhongwei, you also want to meddle in other people's business." The person stared at Chen Zhongwei coldly.
"I don't want to meddle in your business. But you are blocking the way. Let your people get out of the way. The people behind will have to pass." Chen Zhongwei held his head high and looked down on him.
"Ha, I say, when did you learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds? Who is so arrogant behind …" The person called Wu Ming looked behind him and was stunned. He was like a rooster whose neck was being squeezed. His neck stiffened and his face turned red. Who else could it be if it wasn't Director Sun of the branch? Wu Ming's body quivered. He didn't care about finding trouble with others. He pulled his subordinates and quickly moved away.
Director Sun, please pass, please pass. Wu Ming smiled.
"It seems that I have to rectify the security of the district." Sun Zhangsheng glanced at Wu Ming and snorted. He turned to look at Chen Xing and smiled. "Director Chen, please excuse me."
"Hehe, this is very normal." Chen Xing smiled and ignored him.
Just as Chen Xing walked over, an uncertain voice came from behind. "Are you County Head Chen of Ximen County?"
The word 'County Head Chen' immediately caused Chen Xing to stop in his tracks. He turned around to look at the source of the voice. It was truly rare to meet someone who addressed him as' County Head Chen 'in the capital.
"You are?" Chen Xing looked at the woman who spoke. She looked a little familiar.
"County Head Chen is really forgetful. I went to your Ximen County to film and wanted to treat County Head Chen to a meal. Unfortunately, County Head Chen didn't have time." The woman smiled.
"Yes, yes, County Head Chen, you helped me a lot. Why are you here in the capital?" A man squeezed out from the crowd. His face was red and swollen.
"It's you guys." Chen Xing immediately recalled who these two people were. No wonder they looked so familiar. It was just that he couldn't recall who they were at the moment. The woman was called Zhang Xin, and the man was her elder brother, who was also her assistant. Chen Xing remembered that she was the female lead of a movie about a college student village official. This movie was shot in the countryside of Ximen County, so Chen Xing naturally had some impression of it. Now that he suddenly met her in Beijing, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Have you guys finished filming the movie about a college student village official?
It's already done. The post-production is already done and it's about to be released on the screen. The new scenic area in Ximen County is also advertised in our film. " Zhang Xin nodded with a smile.
"Then your film must be very popular so that it can promote our Ximen County." Chen Xing smiled.
"Didn't you guys invite Zhang Yang to endorse the scenic area? He's an A-list celebrity. A B-list celebrity like me can't compare to him." Zhang Xin smiled bitterly.
"Miss Chang, don't belittle yourself. I think you're being modest." Chen Xing smiled. He glanced at Zhang Feng. Chen Xing couldn't help but want to laugh. "Don't tell me you've offended someone because you're too picky."
County Magistrate Chen, you … you're really insightful. Zhang Feng smiled awkwardly. "My mouth has caused a lot of trouble."
"I'd better pay more attention to it. Otherwise, no one can help me in time every time I offend someone." Chen Xing remembered that in Ximen County, Zhang Feng had offended Baldy Li and almost had his hands and feet broken. Today, he guessed that Zhang Feng had offended someone again because of his bad mouth.
Meeting these two people made Chen Xing pause for a while. After all, they were not acquaintances, so Zhang Xin stopped him.
Only then did he stop. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Xing did not intend to stay any longer. It was almost nine o 'clock, and Zhang Ningning should be home already.
"Chief Sun, let's go." Chen Xing nodded at Sun Zhangsheng.
"Wait, County Magistrate Chen, this is my business card." Zhang Feng, who was behind them, rolled his eyes and caught up with them. He handed his business card to Chen Xing and stared at Chen Xing with a grin. "Well, can County Magistrate Chen give me a business card too?"
"Oh, I don't have a business card." Chen Xing took the business card and looked at him with a smile. Seeing that the other party was looking at him eagerly, Chen Xing hesitated for a while. He took a pen and wrote a phone number on the business card and handed it back.
This matter didn't bother Chen Xing. After leaving the Szechuan restaurant with Sun Zhangsheng, they went back directly. As for Chen Zhongwei, he went in another direction. He patted his chest and told Chen Xing that he would go to Zhonghai University for a stroll tonight and that he would stay there for a long time in the future.
When he got home, Chen Xing opened the door. The door inside was not locked. Chen Xing knew that Zhang Ningning was back. He opened the door with a smile and closed it. Chen Xing didn't see anyone in the living room. He immediately walked to the bedroom with a smile. The door was open, but he didn't see Zhang Ningning. The glass door of the bathroom was closed, and the sound of running water came from inside.
Chen Xing gently took off his coat and tiptoed to the bathroom. When he passed by the bedside, Chen Xing was stunned. There was an envelope on the small table beside the bed with a few photos exposed. Chen Xing curiously walked over and picked it up to have a look.
