Deng Ying went to work as usual today. Having worked in the Municipal Government Office for more than a year, Deng Ying repeated her daily life. She did not have much passion for her work, and her life was also uneventful. When she was busy, she worked overtime. When she was not busy, she had nothing to do. For an ordinary civil servant without a strong background, work and life were like a pool of stagnant water. There was no hope for improvement, and it was extravagant to put down.
When it was close to getting off work, Deng Ying was sorting out some documents that Hong Yan had assigned to her. They were both women, and both of them were beautiful women. However, Deng Ying had to work hard to do odd jobs, while Hong Yan could open her mouth and order others to do all the work. In the Municipal Government Office, some busybodies named the five golden flowers of the municipal government. Both Deng Ying and Hong Yan were on the list. However, they had different fates. Hong Yan was the secretary of the mayor, Zhao Yiping, while Deng Ying was just an ordinary staff member who had just entered the office for more than a year. She was almost at the bottom of the staff in the office. If it was not because of a chance encounter with Chen Xing, and Hong Yan happened to be present at that time, when she saw that Deng Ying and Chen Xing actually knew each other, perhaps Hong Yan would not even notice her.
However, even if she noticed her, Hong Yan would only glance at her when they met on the road and give her some tasks from time to time. Apart from that, she did not take special care of her. Hong Yan was actually a little particular. Her attitude towards Deng Ying depended on the relationship between Deng Ying and Chen Xing. At present, she did not see any deeper relationship between Deng Ying and Chen Xing, so her attitude towards Deng Ying was the same, neither cold nor warm. However, there was no doubt that Hong Yan put Deng Ying on the observation list. As long as Deng Ying and Chen Xing's relationship made Hong Yan feel useful, Hong Yan would immediately put Deng Ying to use.
At 5: 30 pm, Deng Ying finished her work at hand. After tidying up her desk, Deng Ying carried her beloved handbag and walked out of the office. The biggest change brought to her after being admitted as a civil servant of the Municipal Government was definitely her material life. When she was in college, because her family was poor, she could not even afford the tuition fees. She even had to work as a hostess in a hotel to earn extra money. Not only did she have to pay for her studies, but she also had to send money back to her father to see a doctor. After struggling through four years of college, Deng Ying finally made a name for herself and was admitted as a civil servant. Not only did her life get better, but the family's financial situation also improved a lot because of her father's health. Deng Ying's life was on the right track. Now, for her, a beautiful life was in front of her. She had plenty of capital to enjoy her future life slowly. Life had just begun.
Director Yang, who are we going to arrest? Why are we just waiting here? At the entrance of the Municipal Government, two police cars quietly stopped by the gate. In the car in front was the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau, Yang Zhen, his confidant, the Deputy Captain of the Criminal Police Unit, Zhang Yong, and a police officer who was driving. In the other police car behind, several members of the Criminal Police Unit were sitting.
That person is in the Municipal Government. Why don't you just go in and arrest him for me to see? Yang Zhen rolled his eyes.
When Zhang Yong heard this, he immediately fell silent. No wonder Yang Zhen requested to wait at the gate. It was indeed a bit rash to directly enter the Municipal Government to arrest someone. After all, it was an important place in the Municipal Government. Zhang Yong didn't say anything. Yang Zhen stared out the window until Deng Ying's Golf appeared in his line of sight. Only then did Yang Zhen wave to the police officers beside him, indicating for them to follow.
Deng Ying sat in her Golf and first went to the market to buy some groceries. After that, she went straight back to the residential area she rented. When the car entered the residential area, Deng Ying didn't notice the two police cars tailing her. After parking the car in the parking space, Deng Ying got out of the car with the groceries in her hands. Suddenly, she was shocked by the police officers who rushed up from behind.
What are you guys doing? Deng Ying was stunned for a moment, but she still managed to calm down. She was now a public servant, and the name of the Municipal Government Office was enough to intimidate people. In her eyes, the police were just so-so. The sudden appearance of a few police officers didn't make her panic. She just found it a bit strange.
Miss Deng, how have you been? Yang Zhen got out of the car. Today's operation was supposed to be an easy one, but Yang Zhen followed her personally. It was enough to show how much importance he attached to this matter.
Director Yang? Deng Ying's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Yang Zhen vigilantly. What does Director Yang mean? Did I break the law? If you don't give me an explanation, I don't mind telling Secretary Hong tomorrow.
Heh, people working in the Municipal Government Office are really different. They can easily use their big secretary to pressure people. Yang Zhen sneered. Miss Deng, have you heard of Secretary Xing?
What Secretary Xing? What is Director Yang talking about? Deng Ying's body trembled imperceptibly, but she quickly covered it up. For her, it wasn't difficult to put on an act, but she had a faint premonition in her heart.
Miss Deng, why are you pretending not to understand me? Since I'm here today, do you think I have nothing better to do than to play word games with you? Yang Zhen looked at her like a cat catching a mouse. If he wasn't 100% sure, Yang Zhen wouldn't arrest someone so easily. Even if she was an ordinary staff member of the Municipal Government Office, who knew if she was registered in front of some leader? If she accidentally stepped on a landmine, it would be big trouble.
Could Director Yang be talking about Xing Tiande, who had been sentenced a long time ago? Deng Ying looked at Yang Zhen doubtfully.
You're quite good at pretending. Yang Zhen smiled and pursed his lips. He gave the people beside him a look, and the police officers immediately went forward to detain Deng Ying.
Director Yang, are you trying to arrest me? Deng Ying was furious. Although I, Deng Ying, am only an insignificant person, I believe that the leaders of the Municipal Government will uphold justice for me.
That's not a problem, Miss Deng can ask the leaders of the Municipal Government to uphold justice. Hmph, you're Xing Tiande's helper outside. That photo is in your hands, right? You really hid it well. Yang Zhen laughed mockingly. Miss Deng, you should understand what I'm talking about.
Director Yang, I don't understand what you mean. I think you're mistaken. I want to call Director Chen. There must be some misunderstanding. Deng Ying's expression changed for the first time.
Call Director Chen? Director Chen is now Mayor Chen. Does he have time to listen to your explanation? Besides, do you think there's anything to explain? You're in cahoots with Xing Tiande. Do you think you have the face to call Director Chen? Yang Zhen laughed and shook his head. Deng Ying still treated him like a fool. Since he dared to arrest her, he must have come prepared. Chen Xing must have informed him.
Nanzhou City International Airport.
Nanzhou City's Deputy Mayor, Zhang Xinjun, was waiting for Chen Xing at the airport with a few staff from the Municipal Government Office. Zhang Xinjun looked at the time from time to time and frowned. Chen Xing's arrival had caused a lot of discussion within the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Chen Xing's age was undoubtedly the most eye-catching and the most controversial point.
Zhang Xinjun was 45 years old this year and had held the position of Deputy Mayor for four years. This time, the position of Mayor was vacant. Zhang Xinjun didn't even dare to think about the position of Mayor. According to the normal promotion route, it wouldn't be his turn. If the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government didn't consider the possibility that the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Government would directly parachute in, then the Municipal Party Committee's Deputy Secretary, Shen Lingyue, was the most powerful candidate for the position of Mayor. Executive Deputy Mayor, Li Haocheng, was also a candidate. Li Haocheng's qualifications were a little worse than Shen Lingyue's, but his provincial background was more solid than Shen Lingyue's.
However, this was all said before Chen Xing's appointment. The reality was beyond everyone's expectations. Originally, everyone guessed that the unexpected situation would be the province directly sending a cadre, but this situation was considered the least likely. Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered an accident. This was because when the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government considered candidates for Mayor, they had to pay attention to the political ecology of Nanzhou City.
Based on the specific situation of Nanzhou City, sending a cadre could only be said to be the most unwise choice. Faced with a local cadre with a deep foundation, when Qin Jianming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, was parachuted in, it had already caused great resistance from the local faction. But in the overall situation of the entire province, the local faction had no choice but to compromise, because there was also the central government's interference.
As Nanzhou City was the capital city, it was impossible for the Provincial Party Committee to allow a local cadre to gain power. And according to convention, the secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee had to be a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. The secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Fu Youjun, had been working hard to weaken the influence of the local faction over the past few years. In the competition a few years ago, Fu Youjun and the leader of the local cadre, Shun Baolai, had been fighting openly and covertly from the start. Shun Baolai took advantage of the fact that Fu Youjun had just taken office and vowed to take the position of secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee. And at the time, the former secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, Chen Tongjin, was originally a local cadre, so the local faction naturally hoped to once again grasp this important position in their own hands. This wasn't just about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but also related to a seat on the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
In the appointment of the secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, Fu Youjun won. The current secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming, was parachuted in from the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League. Some people said that this was single-handedly facilitated by Fu Youjun. As long as it wasn't a local cadre taking over the position, it would be a victory for Fu Youjun. If Fu Youjun had lost the upper hand in this competition, then it was bound to cast a shadow over Fu Youjun's tenure as secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, which would greatly affect his prestige.
Of course, there was no way to know whether the natives had made a deal with Fu Youjun in private. Those who were qualified to know wouldn't go around talking about it, and those who weren't qualified could only rely on their own guesses. However, it was undeniable that the natives' concession wasn't completely without a price.
Immersed in his thoughts, Zhang Xinjun adjusted his expression and looked at the time, thinking that Chen Xing was about to arrive. The reason why he thought of what happened a few years ago was that the arrival of Chen Xing this time also caused a similar storm. According to Zhang Xinjun's insider information, the candidate for mayor this time had already been decided by the locals. Whether it was Shen Lingyue or Li Haocheng, both belonged to the locals, but in the locals, they had different backers. The secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Fu Youjun, seemed to have tacitly agreed that the mayor position would be held by the locals this time. After all, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming, had been parachuted down from above. Fu Youjun had achieved a certain goal, and did not want to push the locals too hard. Otherwise, it would cause a backlash from the locals, which would not be a good thing for Fu Youjun. Even as the top leader, Fu Youjun had to admit the huge influence of the locals in Nanhai Province.
Both sides seemed to have reached a tacit agreement, but in the end, it was messed up again. The central government directly sent a person down. Chen Xing was appointed as the Deputy Secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee, and was also nominated as the Deputy Mayor and Acting Mayor. The meaning couldn't be clearer. Whether it was the foreign cadres led by Fu You Jun or the local party led by Shun Baolai, they couldn't go against the central government's meaning. The possible consequences were too great for the local cadres to bear. As for Fu You Jun, he was probably secretly happy about this result.
It could be said that Chen Xing's appointment notice was very hasty, even a little unexpected. Zhang Xinjun remembered that a moment before the appointment was announced, Ge Jian-ming was still in a meeting to arrange the next stage of work of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. At the meeting, he suddenly received the notice from the higher-ups. Ge Jian-ming was stunned at that time. This was not the way to launch a surprise attack. The previous rumors were completely different. However, Ge Jian-ming did not oppose this decision at all. He was not a local. Someone suddenly popped out from the higher-ups, and Ge Jian-ming was happy to see this result.
Ge Jian-ming behaved very calmly, but Shen Lingyue, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Li Haocheng, the Executive Deputy Mayor, were not. Both of them were a little confused by the sudden appointment notice. When they heard the news, their first reaction was that Ge Jian-ming had made a mistake, or the provincial government had sent the wrong notice, or the wrong name. However, both of them had their own information channels. When they confirmed the news, Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng's expressions were very interesting. Zhang Xinjun was sitting next to Li Haocheng at that time. He even saw Li Haocheng was so angry that he almost slammed the table. It was conceivable that for Li Haocheng, the mayor's throne, which might have been in his pocket, flew away like a cooked duck.
"Hey, Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng don't want to come to pick him up. If Chen Xing arrives and sees me alone representing the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, I don't know what expression he will have." Zhang Xinjun secretly pondered. The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming, had instructed Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng to respectively represent the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to welcome Chen Xing. However, Shen Lingyue and Li Haocheng clearly intended to stand him up. Li Haocheng, on the other hand, asked him to do this errand. Zhang Xinjun was naturally indifferent. Since Li Haocheng had said so, then he would come over. Anyway, even if the mayor was not Li Haocheng, it would not be his turn. Zhang Xinjun did not have as much resentment as Li Haocheng.
But then again, Zhang Xinjun felt it was a bit of a pity. He was usually close to Li Haocheng and acted according to his wishes. If Li Haocheng became the mayor as he wished, then he would very likely become the second-in-command of the Municipal Government. Therefore, the arrival of Chen Xing had more or less disrupted the political structure of Nanzhou City. Even Zhang Xinjun was more or less affected. At least his own future was more uncertain. For him, for the time being, it was better to follow in Li Haocheng's footsteps.
In the midst of Zhang Xinjun's chaotic thoughts, Chen Xing's flight arrived. Zhang Xinjun directly entered the airport through the airport's VIP passage. When Chen Xing walked down, Zhang Xinjun saw him at a glance. In fact, this was not the first time Zhang Xinjun and Chen Xing had met. A few months ago, Chen Xing had come to Nanzhou City to look for Chen Xing because of the funding for the student aid project. That night, the Nanzhou City Education Bureau hosted a banquet to entertain Chen Xing and his party. Zhang Xinjun also attended. He was the only city leader that night because the education department was one of the departments he was in charge of. In the officialdom, there was a principle of reciprocity. Chen Xing was the deputy director, so it was normal for Zhang Xinjun, the deputy mayor, to come forward.
He didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few months, he would actually be working together with Director Chen. Zhang Xinjun smiled and stepped forward to shake Chen Xing's hand, using his vigorous strength to express his affection.
"Yes, the world is unpredictable. I didn't expect to work side by side with Deputy Mayor Zhang. In the future, we should help each other in the same boat and contribute to the development of Nanzhou City together." Chen Xing smiled and nodded.
As Chen Xing spoke, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate for a while. When he first came down, Chen Xing turned on the phone and set it to vibrate mode. Someone was calling. Zhang Xinjun obviously noticed it too. He smiled and glanced at Chen Xing. Director Chen went back to his own business.
Nothing much. Chen Xing waved his hand and glanced at the people behind Zhang Xinjun. There were only a few people. Chen Xing looked indifferent, but he secretly took note in his heart. This person from the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government were really arrogant.
In Haicheng, Yang Zhen, who had been listening to the phone by his ear for a while, looked at Deng Ying in front of him and sneered. "Miss Deng, you've already made the call. Director Chen doesn't have the time to deal with you. What else do you have to say?
Chen Xing definitely doesn't have the time. You called him with your phone, how could he not answer? He must be busy right now. Call him later. I must speak to Chen Xing personally. There must be a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding … "Deng Ying seemed to be shouting crazily. Yang Zhen had called her in front of her, but she was unwilling. Deng Ying knew what it meant for her to go in. She also knew that if Yang Zhen dared to arrest her, it wouldn't be a decision made casually. Without any evidence at hand, Yang Zhen wouldn't easily touch her.
