Returning to the Municipal Government at noon, Chen Xing rested for a while. In the afternoon, according to the scheduled itinerary, he had to inspect Nanzhou City's high-tech zone and agricultural product processing zone. At 2 o 'clock, the Municipal Government's people were all ready to go. Shao Huadong, vice-mayor of the Municipal Party Committee, in charge of industry and economics, Zhang Xinjun, vice-mayor of agriculture, forestry, science and education, Jiang Bingxuan, secretary-general of the Municipal Government, and the heads of various related departments.
Because the place Chen Xing was inspecting in the afternoon involved Shao Huadong and Zhang Xinjun's areas, the two also accompanied him. When Chen Xing arrived downstairs, Shao Huadong and Zhang Xinjun were already waiting.
Zhang Xinjun smiled at Chen Xing, but there was a different meaning in his smile. Zhang Xinjun pretended not to know anything about Zhou Yan, and didn't show any trace of it on his face.
Shao Huadong, as always, had a serious face. Only when Chen Xing looked at him would Shao Huadong have a polite smile on his face. To Chen Xing, the acting mayor, Shao Huadong also showed due respect, at least on the surface.
Without too much greeting, the group of people got into their respective cars, and the motorcade headed to the high-tech zone. This was an economic zone that occupied an important part of Nanzhou City's economic map. Every year, it contributed a lot to the Municipal Government's financial revenue. In recent years, it had become the main driving force for Nanzhou City's economic development. In the eyes of the locals, some people jokingly called this "the cradle of Nanzhou City's department and bureau officials," because two department and bureau officials had walked out of the position of director of the park's management committee.
Not to mention anything else, the vice-mayor of the park, Shao Huadong, who was in charge of industry and economics, who accompanied Chen Xing on the inspection today, was also one of the people who had walked from the director of the park's management committee to the position of deputy director two years ago. From director to deputy director, this was a hurdle that many people couldn't cross in their entire lives. Shao Huadong, who had just reached his early forties, stepped into the position of deputy director in one fell swoop, which broadened his political prospects. It could be said that a large part of this was due to his outstanding achievements as director of the high-tech zone's management committee.
Other than Shao Huadong, the other official who was promoted from the Hi-Tech Zone was the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Jiang Xianjin. Even now, the current director of the Hi-Tech Zone Management Committee, Song Zhou, was rumored to be promoted.
Chen Xing sat in the car and looked at the information on the high-tech zone. He didn't know much about Shao Huadong, just like his understanding of Zhang Haocheng, Zhang Xinjun, and the others. At present, it was only a superficial impression. Over the past ten days in Nanzhou City, what Chen Xing did the most was listen and watch. For him, understanding and familiarizing himself with the political environment of Nanzhou City was his top priority. It was also something he had to do if he wanted to integrate into the political soil of Nanzhou City and occupy a dominant position.
The most intuitive way to understand the political soil of a place was undoubtedly to start with the people. What Chen Xing urgently needed to do was to understand the potential opponents or friends.
Chen Xing looked at the information of the Hi-Tech Zone, trying to analyze Shao Huadong's character. At this moment, Shao Huadong, who was sitting in the car behind, was like an old monk meditating. His eyes were closed, and he looked a little tired.
Mayor, why don't you take a nap first and I'll wake you up when it's time? In the passenger seat, Shao Huadong's secretary, Chen Yang, said.
Don't worry, I'll be fine after resting for a while. Shao Huadong waved his hand.
He glanced at Chen Xing's car in front of him, then quickly closed his eyes again, thinking about Chen Xing. Before, because of personal matters, Shao Huadong didn't pay too much attention to Chen Xing, the new acting mayor. Today, Chen Xing wanted to take a walk in the Hi-Tech Zone, and he asked Shao Huadong to accompany him, which was why Shao Huadong followed.
As one of the only three members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Government, Shao Huadong's position in the Municipal Government was undoubtedly second only to Chen Xing and Executive Vice Mayor Zhang Haocheng. He had an important position in the Municipal Government.
The reason why Shao Huadong could have a seat on the Standing Committee was because of Chen Tongjin, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The Hi-Tech Zone was founded by Chen Tongjin. There was a saying in the Nanzhou officialdom that officials from the Hi-Tech Zone could be regarded as Chen Tongjin's students, and Chen Tongjin indeed had a preference for officials from the Hi-Tech Zone. For important promotions, he would inevitably give priority to young officials who had worked in the Hi-Tech Zone. The reason why he was lucky enough to cross the threshold of an official and still have a seat on the Standing Committee was because of Chen Tongjin's secret support.
When Shao Huadong was promoted from the Director of the Hi-Tech Zone Management Committee to Vice Mayor, it caused a strong controversy at the Standing Committee meeting. If it wasn't for Chen Tongjin using his remaining influence and manipulating things in the dark, he might not be the Vice Mayor now, but somewhere else. Therefore, Shao Huadong didn't object to outsiders labeling him as a member of the Chen faction. He had always been grateful to Chen Tongjin.
When Chen Xing and his entourage arrived at the Hi-Tech Zone, the two sets of party and government of the Hi-Tech Zone Management Committee had already lined up at the gate to welcome them. They even put on a very grand welcome ceremony. None of the leaders of the Hi-Tech Zone dared to ignore the first inspection after the new mayor took office. Even though the mayor hadn't officially removed the title of "Deputy" and was only a Vice Mayor now, if they showed any disrespect to Chen Xing because of this, they believed that they would be punished sooner or later.
Today, Liu Wei, the deputy director of the management committee of the high-tech zone, woke up early in the morning and asked his wife to dress him up. Although the hair on his head had almost fallen off, after dressing him up, especially after carefully combing the few strands of hair on his head, he looked different from his usual mental state. He was full of energy and his face was radiant.
Not only did Liu Wei put a lot of effort into his appearance today, but he also did his homework on the general situation of the entire Hi-Tech Zone and some economic data. It was also hard for him, who was usually very insensitive to data, to memorize so much data. Today, he was full of ambition to leave a smart and capable impression on Chen Xing. Looking at Jiang Xianjin, the Director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and Shao Huadong, the Vice Mayor, these two living examples in front of him, it would be ridiculous to say that Liu Wei was not tempted. Especially recently, the news that the Director of the Hi-Tech Zone Management Committee, Song Zhou, was about to be promoted had spread like wildfire. As the Vice Director, Liu Wei was full of energy, hoping that he could seize this opportunity and successfully be promoted.
No one wanted to stay in the same place forever, especially in the officialdom, where the idea of officialdom was very serious. The difference of one level was worlds apart. Liu Wei had put in a lot of effort today. If he could leave a good impression on Chen Xing today, it was very important for him. Normally, it was not his turn to stand out and entertain Chen Xing today. However, Song Zhou had personally led an investment team to the Yangtze River Delta to attract investment and could not come back in time. Therefore, this important task fell on his shoulders.
Under the leadership of Comrade Huadong, the Hi-Tech Zone was becoming more and more prosperous. It was a scene of prosperity. After getting off the car, the first sentence that Zhang Xinjun said was to express his goodwill to Shao Huadong, intentionally or unintentionally.
The achievements of the Hi-Tech Zone today were achieved under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. It could not be separated from the long-term care and guidance of the old Secretary. Director Jiang, who had been transferred to the province, had always been very supportive of the work of the Hi-Tech Zone. Of course, there were also all the comrades who worked hard in the front line of the Hi-Tech Zone. Today's achievements were all the credit of everyone. Shao Huadong smiled faintly. His words almost covered all aspects. Obviously, Shao Huadong's character was like his words and deeds, giving people a feeling that not a drop of water could leak out.
Chen Xing listened to the conversation between the two of them and was not in a hurry to say anything. Accompanied by a group of people, he walked into the Hi-Tech Zone to visit.
After all, it was the leading economic development zone in Nanzhou City. Chen Xing walked and visited. He was very satisfied with the construction of the hardware and software facilities of the Hi-Tech Zone. Moreover, what made Chen Xing appreciate very much was that the greening and environmental protection and sanitation in the development zone were very good. Along the way, whether it was the main road of the park or the side road, there were shady places. This was thanks to the trees on both sides of the road that had a certain age and had grown to a certain height. If it was a hot summer, he believed that the environment here would be very pleasing to the eye. Just based on this point, the investment environment of the development zone was worth adding points. Moreover, along the way, the feeling that Chen Xing felt was that the development zone was neat and clean. Although he did not rule out the suspicion that the cadres of the development zone had done a last-minute cleaning before he arrived, at least it presented a clean side to him, which made him feel comfortable.
Well, it was done well. After visiting a part of the park, overall, Chen Xing had a good impression of the development zone. Therefore, Chen Xing was not stingy with his compliments.
For Chen Xing, it was just a simple compliment. However, for Liu Wei, the deputy director of the park management committee who was standing beside him and responsible for introducing the overall situation of the Hi-Tech Zone to Chen Xing, it was like a shot of adrenaline. Although a simple compliment from the leader did not necessarily mean anything, at least it showed that Chen Xing was satisfied with the current work situation of the park. This was very important for Liu Wei. Today, he was trying his best to leave a good impression on Chen Xing, so he paid attention to every word of Chen Xing. Even if it was just a small compliment, it could make him feel happy in his heart.
Liu Wei, who was secretly feeling happy, suddenly saw Deputy Mayor Shao Huadong and Zhang Xinjun, who were standing beside Chen Xing. He suddenly came to his senses and scolded himself for being too happy. This was not the time to be happy. Who knew if there were any twists and turns between the leaders of the city?
Mayor Chen, the Hi-Tech Zone was able to achieve such rapid development thanks to the leadership of Deputy Mayor Shao. Without Deputy Mayor Shao's vision, the Hi-Tech Zone would not have such a good foundation for development. Although Deputy Mayor Shao was busy with work, he had always been very concerned about the development of the park, which was why the Hi-Tech Zone was able to achieve its current situation. Liu Wei secretly flattered Shao Huadong.
Deputy Director Liu's words were biased. I don't dare to take credit for the development of the Hi-Tech Zone. It was mainly due to everyone's hard work. Shao Huadong glanced at Liu Wei and remained serious.
Chen Xing glanced at Shao Huadong in astonishment. He now had a better understanding of Shao Huadong. Liu Wei, who was beside him, smiled awkwardly. He had flattered the wrong person. He had forgotten that Shao Huadong was a little different.
From the Hi-Tech Zone to the Agricultural Processing Zone, it was already five o 'clock in the afternoon when Chen Xing and his entourage ended their afternoon inspection. At this time, in the ward of Sea City General Hospital, Zhang Ruoming was lying on the hospital bed. His head was wrapped in a thick layer of bandages.
Li Qing, who rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from her husband, was filled with anger. She sat by the bed and looked at her husband's state. Tears almost fell from her eyes. How could that Wang guy be so outrageous? He hit his colleagues in the office. Did no one dare to stop him and let him do whatever he wanted?
His father was the bureau chief. Who would dare to stop him? At most, they would only be helping him. Zhang Ruoming smiled bitterly. He had been staying in his office ever since he returned to work this afternoon. As for the conflict with Wang Huachuan, Zhang Ruoming did not plan to make it public. Chen Xing would be coming to the bureau to inspect the work tomorrow. Wang Huachuan would be in trouble then. There was no need for Zhang Ruoming to complain to the leaders of the bureau about what happened in the afternoon.
Zhang Ruoming wanted to keep the peace for the time being. Little did he know that Wang Huachuan, who was already in the wrong, had suddenly rushed into his office and started punching and kicking him. Zhang Ruoming was not going to just sit there and do nothing. However, there were people trying to stop him, so he restrained himself rationally. However, his two colleagues did not stop him. Wang Huachuan picked up an ashtray from his desk and smashed it on Zhang Ruoming's head. Zhang Ruoming's head started bleeding. What happened next was obvious. He was sent to the hospital by his colleagues. As his head was injured, the doctor recommended that he stay in the hospital for observation to see if there were any other injuries to his brain.
This is too much. This is too much. I must tell Mayor Chen about this. If you don't want to make this call, I will. Li Qing wiped her tears. When she heard that her husband wouldn't be coming home for lunch this afternoon, saying that Chen Xing had asked him out, Li Qing was very happy. She thought that her husband had finally made it. Chen Xing's actions showed that he really cared about her husband, his classmate.
Actually, when I was having lunch with Chen Xing, that Wang Huachuan had already caused trouble once. He brought a few people and rushed into the room, wanting to beat me up. Chen Xing was also there at that time. Later, the hotel staff showed up, and Wang Huachuan's group left. Chen Xing saw this. I believe that Wang Huachuan will be in trouble tomorrow. Zhang Ruoming held his wife's hand and comforted her. He did not let Li Qing make this call.
