Deng Qingming silently put a name list on Chen Xing's desk. This morning, Chen Xing suddenly asked for a staff list of the Municipal Government Office. Deng Qingming hurriedly went to the office and asked for a copy. After putting the name list on the desk, he quietly glanced at Chen Xing. Deng Qingming did not leave immediately, but stood aside.
Chen Xing picked up the name list and glanced at Deng Qingming. Chen Xing then put it back on the desk. Little Deng, how much do you know about Deputy Mayor Shao?
Deputy Mayor Shao? Deng Qingming glanced at Chen Xing in confusion. Chen Xing's sudden change of topic was really unexpected. His eyes were looking at the personnel list of the Municipal Government Office, but his mouth was asking about Deputy Mayor Shao Huadong, who had nothing to do with him. Deng Qingming couldn't figure out Chen Xing's intention. Deng Qingming smiled and said, "Mayor, I don't know much about Deputy Mayor Shao, but if you want to know, I can ask around. It's pretty easy to get some information in the Municipal Government.
Chen Xing nodded and looked at Deng Qingming. "I heard that Deputy Mayor Shao's wife has always been in poor health?
I … I don't know much about it. " Deng Qingming's eyes flickered.
"Well, there's nothing else. Go and do your work." Chen Xing waved his hand at Deng Qingming. "By the way, ask Director Huang to come here."
Deng Qingming was stunned and then nodded. "Okay, I'll call him right away."
Walking out of Chen Xing's office, Deng Qingming was confused. Chen Xing seemed to be a little different today. Deng Qingming had been working closely with Chen Xing for more than ten days, so he could still see this subtle difference.
Director Huang, the mayor wants you to go to him. When Deng Qingming arrived at the office of Huang Yonggang, the director of the municipal government office, he didn't knock on the door. Instead, he pushed the door open and went in. As the first secretary of the municipal government, he often inadvertently showed a bit of domineering attitude, which was vividly reflected in some minor details.
Mayor Chen wants me to go there? Huang Yonggang was a little unhappy when he saw that the person came in without knocking on the door. However, when he saw that it was Deng Qingming, he could only suppress his anger and stand up with a smile. "Secretary Deng, do you know why Mayor Chen wants to see me?"
I don't know, but Mayor Chen suddenly asked about Deputy Mayor Shao just now. I don't know if it has anything to do with this. Deng Qingming really couldn't figure out Chen Xing's thoughts, so he could only say so.
"It has something to do with Deputy Mayor Shao?" Huang Yonggang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I have a bag of tea here. It hasn't been opened yet. I can't even bear to drink it myself. Secretary Deng, you're lucky. If you want to drink it, you can make it yourself. You don't have to be polite in my office. Since Mayor Chen wants me, then I'll go there first."
Huang Yonggang pondered as he walked. In truth, Huang Yonggang was rather disdainful of this young mayor who shared the same surname as him. He even doubted whether Chen Xing could gain a foothold in Nanzhou City. However, these thoughts were just thoughts. In front of Chen Xing, Huang Yonggang always displayed the proper respect.
"Mayor, you want to see me?" After entering Chen Xing's office, Huang Yonggang bowed and said.
"Well, I heard someone was looking for me yesterday?" Chen Xing gestured for Huang Yonggang to sit down and asked casually.
"Yesterday?" Huang Yonggang was shocked. He quickly remembered that someone from Jindu Hotel had made an appointment to see Chen Xing yesterday, but he had already been informed and refused on his own initiative. Now that Chen Xing asked about this, Huang Yonggang was not in a hurry to deny it. He said calmly, "There shouldn't have been anyone yesterday, or the people below were negligent. I'll go back and find out later."
"Really." Chen Xing looked at Huang Yonggang with a faint smile.
"It should be." Huang Yonggang felt a little uncomfortable under Chen Xing's gaze. He responded with a fake smile and tried his best to keep his face calm.
"It's all right. Director Huang can go back to work."
Almost like the conversation between Secretary Deng Qingming just now, Huang Yonggang also left with doubts. Deng Qingming revealed to him that it had something to do with Deputy Mayor Shao, but Chen Xing asked about another matter. After asking a few questions without any head or tail, Huang Yonggang did not continue. Thinking of the visit from Jindu Hotel yesterday, Huang Yonggang felt inexplicably agitated.
Chen Xing did not stay in the office for long. At nearly 10 o 'clock, Chen Xing called his secretary Deng Qingming and said that he was going to the Statistics Bureau for research. This was a temporary itinerary arranged by Chen Xing.
"Mayor, do you want me to call the Statistics Bureau?" When they got in the car, Deng Qingming asked Chen Xing. "After all, the mayor is going there for an inspection. If no one comes out to greet him when he arrives at the Statistics Bureau, and the leaders of the bureau are not there, it will be a joke."
"No need to inform them now. We'll talk about it when we arrive." Chen Xing shook his head and said.
Deng Qingming nodded and said, "Oh." His eyes quickly swept over Chen Xing, and he felt strange. In his opinion, Chen Xing's behavior today was a little abnormal.
When the car was approaching the Municipal Statistics Bureau, Deng Qingming wanted to look back at Chen Xing from time to time. It was almost there, but Chen Xing still did not move. Deng Qingming had to sit and did not dare to make a call without authorization. He was just a secretary, and he was surprised that Chen Xing's behavior was so abnormal today.
At this time, the Municipal Statistics Bureau was holding a cadres' meeting. Wang Bo, who was both the secretary of the bureau's leading group and the director of the bureau, called the three deputy directors to his office one by one as soon as he arrived at the bureau today. No one knew what Wang Bo talked about with the three deputy directors. After Wang Bo finished talking with the deputy directors, Wang Bo suddenly asked the office to inform the middle-level cadres of the bureau to hold a meeting.
At the meeting, to everyone's surprise, the topic of discussion was to record a major demerit on Zhang Ruoming's record. Then Wang Bo proposed to transfer Zhang Ruoming from the Municipal Bureau to the county bureau.
"If you have any opinions, you can say them. This is a democratic meeting. Everyone has the right to express their opinions. If you have any different opinions, you can say them and we can discuss them together." After Wang Bo expressed his opinion, he looked around at the people present.
As soon as he said this, many people present couldn't help but scold him for being shameless in their hearts. Who didn't know that Wang Bo liked to have his own words? At this time, he was talking about democracy. It was obvious that he wanted to punish Zhang Ruoming, but he pretended to let everyone discuss it. Who dared to offend him, the director, for Zhang Ruoming, who had no background?
"Does everyone have any opinions?" Wang Bo's gaze swept across everyone's faces.
Those who were swept by Wang Bo's gaze would subconsciously lower their heads, but everyone was secretly looking at the faces of the three deputy directors. At this time, the three deputy directors looked calm, drinking water, reading newspapers, and no one stood up to say anything. Looking at this posture, everyone understood in their hearts that Wang Bo called the three deputy directors in for a talk in the morning. It was estimated that they were talking about this matter. It seemed that the three deputy directors had also reached an agreement with Wang Bo. At present, no one dared to say anything. Even if there were people who felt injustice for Zhang Ruoming in their hearts, no one wanted to be the hero. Everyone swept the snow in front of their own door and didn't care about the frost on the roof of others. Those who sympathized with Zhang Ruoming could only mourn for him in their hearts. It was impossible to speak for him.
Since everyone had no opinions, it was settled. Chen Jiang, you will inform Zhang Ruoming of this matter. Wang Bo nodded with satisfaction and said to Chen Jiang, the director of the National Economic Accounting Department.
In the end, he still had to be the bad guy. After all, everyone knew that Wang Huachuan was Wang Bo's son, so it was impossible for the bureau to pursue Wang Huachuan's actions. However, they still wanted to punish Zhang Ruoming. Not only would he be given a major demerit, but he would also be transferred to the lower county bureau. If he was promoted, it could be regarded as a little consolation for Zhang Ruoming, but the result was different. Zhang Ruoming was transferred to the lower county bureau, and he would still be a chief section member. He wouldn't even be a deputy section chief with real power. This was really bullying. Chen Jiang was not a person who was overflowing with sympathy, but he really couldn't stand it anymore. Wang Bo asked him to announce the punishment for Zhang Ruoming, and Chen Jiang really didn't want to do it.
Mayor, why don't you inform the people from the Statistics Bureau to come out? The car had arrived at the entrance of the Statistics Bureau. Deng Qingming couldn't help but ask.
Let's go in and take a look. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand.
Chen Xing and his secretary Deng Qingming entered the Statistics Bureau. Deng Qingming looked at Chen Xing who was walking around the inside of the Statistics Bureau. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Chen Xing couldn't be thinking of visiting the Statistics Bureau incognito, but the object of this incognito visit … Deng Qingming really didn't know what Chen Xing was thinking. He thought that maybe this was the difference between leaders. Ordinary people couldn't keep up with their thoughts.
The two of them walking back and forth in the Statistics Bureau attracted the attention of some staff members. After all, the Statistics Bureau was not a department that dealt with external affairs. Some of them even took a few more glances at Chen Xing, feeling that they had seen him before.
It seemed that the people in the Statistics Bureau were quite idle. Chen Xing passed by several offices. Most of the scenes he saw were people chatting in the office. Some people even laughed so exaggeratedly that he could hear them from several offices away.
This was the work of the government. When they were busy, they were busy to death. When they had nothing to do, they were bored to death. Deng Qingming replied to Chen Xing with a smile. He could tell that Chen Xing didn't mean to pursue the matter. He was just saying it casually. In fact, Chen Xing, who had sat on the bench for a few years in the Political Research Office, had experienced life in the government more than anyone else. When they were free in the office, they usually drank tea, chatted, and read the newspaper to kill time.
After saying that casually, Chen Xing walked forward again. When he saw the first office in front of him, Chen Xing's eyes lit up and his footsteps became slightly faster. The sign on the door of the office was "National Accounts Department".
Zhang Ruoming, after discussion in the bureau, we have decided to give you a major demerit. Do you have any objections? In the office of the National Accounts Department, the director, Chen Jiang, was announcing Zhang Ruoming's punishment. Chen Jiang didn't intend to announce it in such a big way. This kind of thing should be announced in private and let Zhang Ruoming know about it. It would be meaningless to make it look like this. However, Wang Huachuan didn't want to do that. He urged Chen Jiang to announce it in public. Chen Jiang naturally brushed him off. When he walked into the office, Wang Huachuan followed him. Before Chen Jiang could say anything, Wang Huachuan spoke first. Chen Jiang could only go along with Wang Huachuan's words. He didn't like Wang Huachuan at all, but he couldn't afford to offend him.
Director Chen, if I have any objections, will the bureau take back this decision? Zhang Ruoming sneered. His head was still wrapped in a thick layer of white gauze. He was discharged from the hospital this morning. The results of his brain CT scan showed that everything was normal. After confirming that he was fine, he came to work as usual. His wife asked him to rest at home. Zhang Ruoming mentioned that Chen Xing would be coming to the bureau today. He wanted to come and watch the show, so he insisted on coming to work. He didn't expect that before the show started, he would receive a notice of his punishment.
Things were really funny! Zhang Ruoming knew that even if Wang Huachuan beat him up in the bureau yesterday, nothing would happen to him. It was impossible for the bureau's leaders to punish him. After all, his father was the bureau chief. However, Wang Bo, the bureau chief, actually dared to punish him when everyone knew the truth. He even wanted to transfer him out of the Municipal Bureau. Zhang Ruoming really felt that the world was too crazy. People with power really had no scruples and did whatever they wanted.
Zhang, just accept your fate. You're lucky that you weren't fired this time. You still dare to ask the bureau to take back your punishment? Dream on. Wang Huachuan sneered on the side. He looked like a villain who was intoxicated with success. Originally, his request to his father was to fire Zhang Ruoming, but Wang Bo didn't follow his wishes. He only decided to punish Zhang Ruoming first, then transfer him out of the Municipal Bureau. Wang Huachuan was not satisfied with this result, but the reason why he didn't jump to his feet was because Wang Bo told him that he couldn't do this at this critical moment. Otherwise, it would only cause public outrage. If he really wanted to fire him, he had to wait for a while. Transferring Zhang Ruoming out of the Municipal Bureau was a cold treatment. It wouldn't be too late to find an excuse to fire him later.
Wang Huachuan felt relieved after listening to his father's explanation. As long as Zhang Ruoming didn't appear in front of him, Wang Huachuan's heart would be at ease. Moreover, Zhang Ruoming had just received a million yuan from his father yesterday. Zhang Ruoming was also in a good mood today.
Cough, Deputy Director Wang, pay attention to your image. Chen Jiang glanced at Wang Huachuan, and he was a little speechless. The father was a hero, and the son was a coward. Wang Bo was also a very capable person. In the bureau, several other deputy directors were obedient. How did he have such a coward son?
Wang Huachuan just curled his lips when Chen Jiang said this. He didn't talk back and looked at Zhang Ruoming proudly. Wang Huachuan tried to see a discouraged look on Zhang Ruoming's face to satisfy his perverted psychology, but he suddenly saw a flash of joy on Zhang Ruoming's face. Wang Huachuan was stunned. He thought that Zhang Ruoming was stupid. How could he be happy when he heard the news of being punished?
The one who hit was not punished, but the one who was hit was punished. At this time, a very discordant voice came from outside the office.
Chen Jiang, Wang Huachuan, and the others all looked at the door and saw two unfamiliar faces standing at the door. The person who spoke was standing in front.
Ah, it's you again. Yesterday, you were nosy in the hotel, and today you came to our bureau. Did you eat a leopard's courage? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up. Wang Huachuan, who was happy, suddenly heard such a sentence, and his face darkened. When he saw that the person standing at the door was Chen Xing, who had dinner with Zhang Ruoming at the hotel yesterday, Wang Huachuan almost rushed over to beat him up.
Zhang Ruoming walked toward Chen Xing, a little surprised and surprised. The timing of Chen Xing's arrival … really couldn't be better.
Wang Huachuan threatened Chen Xing, but Chen Jiang just frowned. He was a little numb to Wang Huachuan's vulgar words. When he looked at Chen Xing, Chen Jiang was a little confused. He felt that he looked a little familiar.
Wang Huachuan stared at Chen Xing aggressively, but Deng Qingming was already stunned. He looked at Wang Huachuan in a daze. This person from the Bureau of Statistics was too … fierce.
I'm standing here. Come and beat me if you can. Chen Xing sneered.
Hey, do you really think I don't dare to beat you up? Wang Huachuan was so angry that he laughed. He clenched his fists and was about to rush up, but Chen Jiang quickly stopped him. He looked at Chen Xing and Deng Qingming suspiciously. What are you two doing?
In the corridor, when Wang Bo, the director of the Bureau of Statistics, got closer to Chen Xing, he finally confirmed that the person in front of him was Chen Xing, Mayor Chen. It was really Mayor Chen.
In the last few steps, Wang Bo's speed could be described as godly. Like a monkey, he rushed to Chen Xing's side in an instant. Mayor Chen, why didn't you inform us in advance that you were coming to our station for an inspection?
Wang Bo was informed by his subordinates that the mayor had come to the bureau, so he came out doubtfully. The person who reported to him was not too sure and just gave him a general description. When Wang Bo heard this news, he did not dare to neglect it and rushed out to have a look. Who would have thought that it was really Chen Xing? Others might not be sure, but he had attended a meeting in the city and had seen Chen Xing up close. How could he not be sure?
Director Wang, I think you did a good job in the welcome work. The way you people from the Bureau of Statistics welcome people with fists is very innovative. Chen Xing looked at Wang Bo and smiled. Anyone could see that there was something wrong with that smile.
Mayor Chen, this … where did this come from? Wang Bo, who greeted Chen Xing with a face full of smiles, was stunned by Chen Xing's words. His face suddenly became stiff.
Dad, is there something wrong with your brain? Where did this Mayor Chen come from? This bastard is in cahoots with Zhang Ruoming. We didn't beat him up at the hotel yesterday, but he still dared to come to the police station and cause trouble today. He must be in cahoots with Zhang Ruoming. Wang Huachuan stepped forward and glared at Chen Xing while speaking to his father. He forgot that he was in the bureau and accidentally called his dad.
Wang Bo almost fainted. Looking at his son, Wang Bo's expression was no different from that of Deng Qingming just now. Subconsciously, he slapped his son. Bastard, this is the city's Mayor Chen. What did you say just now? Apologize to Mayor Chen.
Wang Huachuan was stunned by the slap. He stared at his father blankly. Ever since he was a child, Wang Bo had never hit him. Even if the father and son quarreled fiercely and Wang Bo was angry, at most, he would just smash the cup to vent his anger. He would not hit him at all. But now, he had slapped him in the face in public. Wang Huachuan, who had reacted, stared at his father and was about to explode.
What are you doing? Apologize to Mayor Chen now. Wang Bo glared at his son. He didn't care about his son's feelings anymore. His son's words just now had made him break out in a cold sweat. He just wanted his son to make up for his mistake.
There's no need to apologize. Director Wang, I think it's time for your statistics bureau to reorganize. Also, as a father, if you want to discipline your son, you can do it at home. There's no need to do it in front of others. Chen Xing glanced at Wang Bo indifferently. After leaving these words, Chen Xing turned and left.
Wang Bo looked at Chen Xing's back in a daze. He even forgot to catch up and explain. When he turned to look at his son, who had been slapped by him and had a face full of unwillingness, Wang Bo's whole body softly leaned against the wall. Destroyed county magistrate, annihilated provincial governor, prodigal son, prodigal son.
Wang Bo was a little out of his wits. Several deputy directors on the side looked at the leaving Chen Xing, and then looked at the pale Wang Bo. Each one of them was thoughtful. The wind was about to blow.
Chen Xing came and left quickly. The impact he brought was that the statistics bureau was in a state of panic. Zhang Ruoming left with Chen Xing, but after a while, he came back. Director Chen Jiang, who used to be indifferent to Zhang Ruoming, seemed to have changed his face. With a flattering smile on his face, he tried to get close to Zhang Ruoming. In addition to Chen Jiang, several deputy directors of the bureau also came over. It wasn't until Director Wang Bo finally came that everyone quietly dispersed.
Ruoming, come to my office for a while. Wang Bo looked at Zhang Ruoming with a friendly smile on his face.
… …
Noon, Jindu Hotel.
In a private room on the third floor, Zhang Ruoming was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man in his forties. The man was his old boss, Xiao Yuanqing, who was no longer in the Municipal Bureau, but the director of the Jinhua Statistics Bureau, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou City.
When Zhang Ruoming first entered the statistics bureau, Xiao Yuanqing was the deputy director of the national economic accounting department of the statistics bureau. He had always taken good care of Zhang Ruoming. Later, when Xiao Yuanqing was promoted to director, he wanted to promote Zhang Ruoming to be his deputy. Unfortunately, he did not succeed twice. The first time was because Chen Jiang took the initiative, and the second time was when Wang Huachuan, the son of the bureau's director, appeared out of nowhere. Xiao Yuanqing wanted to promote Zhang Ruoming before he was transferred. This matter was more or less a pity in his heart. After all, he had told Zhang Ruoming that he would mention him, but he did not do it.
Last night, I collapsed after drinking. That leader in the city is too good at drinking, and I had to drink with him. I said I wanted to visit you, but I couldn't get up. I only opened my eyes in the morning. Xiao Yuanqing looked at Zhang Ruoming. He had specially come over from Jinhua City this afternoon. Originally, he had planned to visit Zhang Ruoming at the hospital last night. However, he had a social engagement that he could have pushed off. Suddenly, he said that the leaders of the city were also going over. Xiao Yuanqing couldn't leave, so he could only reschedule it to noon. Seeing that Zhang Ruoming was fine, Xiao Yuanqing also smiled. It was good that he was fine. That Wang Huachuan was indeed too much.
Old leader, you don't have to make a special trip here. I was very happy when I received your call last night. It's not a serious injury, so you don't have to make a trip here. Zhang Ruoming said to Xiao Yuanqing with a smile. It could be seen that his respect and gratitude towards Xiao Yuanqing came from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Yuanqing was different from others. He was like a teacher and a friend to him. In the two years that Xiao Yuanqing was transferred away, they hadn't stopped contacting each other. Xiao Yuanqing's home was in Nanzhou City. When he returned home, Xiao Yuanqing would occasionally visit his home. For Xiao Yuanqing, who was already a bureau chief, to still be able to do this was already very commendable.
No matter what, I was the one who raised you up. Since you're injured, it's natural for me to visit you. Xiao Yuanqing smiled disapprovingly. He had already planned to visit Zhang Ruoming, but this morning, he received news from a friend in the Municipal Bureau about Chen Xing's visit this morning, and that Zhang Ruoming and Chen Xing knew each other. So at this moment, Xiao Yuanqing was a little hesitant. He wanted to ask what was going on, but it wasn't appropriate for him to do so.
Old leader, do you want to ask me about my relationship with Mayor Chen? With Zhang Ruoming's sharp eyes, how could he not see what Old leader Xiao Yuanqing wanted to ask? He believed that Xiao Yuanqing already knew about what happened this morning. Xiao Yuanqing had worked in the Municipal Bureau for nearly 20 years. Even if he wasn't working in the Municipal Bureau now, even the slightest movement in the Municipal Bureau couldn't be hidden from Xiao Yuanqing.
Your eyes are as sharp as ever. Nothing can be hidden from you. Xiao Yuanqing smiled and nodded. I'm really curious. Our new Mayor Chen has only been here for more than ten days. How did you know him? I heard the people in the bureau say that Mayor Chen came specially to support you. They say that you're Mayor Chen's brother or something. It's getting out of hand.
It's getting more and more out of hand. Zhang Ruoming smiled bitterly. Old leader, I won't hide it from you. I'm Mayor Chen's classmate in university. I didn't even dare to believe it before. If I hadn't contacted a classmate who was close to Mayor Chen to confirm it, I wouldn't have believed it either. After that, Mayor Chen even came to my house of his own accord.
So he's your classmate in university. Xiao Yuanqing was stunned for a moment. He thought that the young mayor was indeed young. He didn't expect Zhang Ruoming to be his classmate. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Ruoming a few more times. Xiao Yuanqing couldn't hide the envy in his eyes. Ruoming, looks like God didn't mistreat you. You haven't had your way for so many years. Now, you're finally going to prosper. With Mayor Chen supporting you in the future, you won't have to worry about not having a bright future.
I'm just afraid it won't be that easy. Anyway, I don't dare to think too much. I'll just work hard and be a down-to-earth person. Zhang Ruoming smiled.
Not bad, well said. I admire your attitude. When I was still in the Municipal Bureau, I always wanted to promote you, but I didn't succeed. Now, you're finally going to have a bright future. Gold will always shine. Xiao Yuanqing sighed. Seeing Zhang Ruoming raising his hand to look at the time from time to time, Xiao Yuanqing was puzzled. Do you have something to do?
No, eating with the old leader is a big deal. How can I have anything else? Zhang Ruoming smiled and shook his head. Mayor Chen is coming too. Before you called me, Mayor Chen told me that we're going to have lunch together. It was Mayor Chen who asked me to come to Golden City Hotel.
What? Mayor Chen is coming too? Xiao Yuanqing cried out in surprise. A trace of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes. Very quickly, Xiao Yuanqing thought of something and said apprehensively, "Ruoming, if you want to eat with Mayor Chen, wouldn't it be inconvenient for me to stay here?"
Old leader, you're treating me like an outsider. What's inconvenient? I've already told Mayor Chen about you. Mayor Chen said it's fine. Old leader, you can just sit here. Zhang Ruoming smiled.
Hearing Zhang Ruoming's words, Xiao Yuanqing's heart finally relaxed. He couldn't hide his joy no matter how he looked at it. Ruoming, you're really something. If you want to eat with Mayor Chen, you should have told me. I'll come to see you at night. I'm not prepared at all when Mayor Chen comes.
It's just a casual meal. There's no need to prepare anything. Zhang Ruoming smiled. Looking at the old leader's excited expression, Zhang Ruoming found it funny. He could understand the old leader's feelings. Not everyone had the opportunity to eat with the mayor, especially Xiao Yuanqing. Although he was promoted two years ago, he didn't have much of a political future. Xiao Yuanqing was just a little luckier than him.
He also didn't have a strong background. He was transferred from the director of the Municipal Bureau to the director of the county bureau. His rank was still a section chief. However, as the old saying goes, when there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey calls the king. When he was transferred to the county bureau, Xiao Yuanqing was the director himself. He had more power in his hands. This kind of transfer could be regarded as a disguised promotion. However, it would be difficult for Xiao Yuanqing to climb higher in the future because there was no one above him. Now that he had the opportunity to eat with the mayor, it was a great opportunity for Xiao Yuanqing. If Zhang Ruoming didn't have this relationship with Chen Xing, he might never have the chance to sit at the same table with the mayor in his life.
When Chen Xing came over, it was almost 12 o 'clock. He told Zhang Ruoming that he wanted to eat at the Golden City Hotel. Without a doubt, it had something to do with Lu Xiaojing looking for him last night. Chen Xing wanted him to come over and learn more about it.
When Chen Xing walked into the room, Zhang Ruoming and Xiao Yuanqing both stood up. Xiao Yuanqing was even more reserved. He looked at Chen Xing and said respectfully, "Mayor Chen."
Sit, sit. What are you standing for? Chen Xing glanced at Xiao Yuanqing and nodded slightly in greeting. This was most likely the old leader that Zhang Ruoming had mentioned.
Xiao Li, come in and sit. Chen Xing called the driver, Li Yong, over. Li Yong had been with him more than Deng Qingming. Chen Xing actually felt closer to Li Yong as the driver. Deng Qingming gave him a sense of distrust.
Under Chen Xing's invitation, Zhang Ruoming and Xiao Yuanqing also sat down. Zhang Ruoming was more casual, but Xiao Yuanqing sat with his back straight, as if he was giving a report. It was obvious that he still couldn't let go.
Mayor, this is my old leader, Xiao Yuanqing. He's now the director of Jinhua City's Statistics Bureau. Zhang Ruoming had mentioned this to Chen Xing over the phone. He still introduced Chen Xing solemnly. Considering that it wasn't just him and Chen Xing, Zhang Ruoming only called Chen Xing by his title.
The private room was quiet and tranquil. Chen Xing and the rest were chatting and laughing occasionally. Xiao Yuanqing saw that Chen Xing did not put on any airs and gradually relaxed. With his years of experience and eloquence in the military, once he adjusted his mentality, he would often make witty remarks that could make people laugh heartily.
Just as Chen Xing and the others were eating in the private room, there was a commotion outside the hotel. A few cars with "Industry and Commerce" painted on them stopped in front of the hotel. When the greeters on the first floor of the hotel saw these cars appear again, they could only smile bitterly. They were already a little numb. In the past few months, this had happened countless times. Especially recently, it had become more and more frequent. Basically, it happened once a week. Industry and Commerce, Fire, Tax, Public Security, Health, all the departments that could be in charge would take turns to come. Sometimes, there would even be people from two departments bumping into each other.
Today, the boss has given the order to check the private rooms carefully. Everyone, do you hear me? Before entering the hotel, the leader of the group, a man with a buzz cut, loudly ordered everyone.
The man's name was Wang Zheng Yun. He was the leader of the inspection team. Because of the frequent inspections of Jin Du Hotel, the Industry and Commerce Bureau had set up a special inspection team. Of course, this so-called inspection team didn't have a clear name, but everyone knew it. Every week, this group of people would come to Jin Du Hotel to make trouble. In the process of the inspection, they would inevitably use some rude and unreasonable means. If they saw guests eating in the hotel, they would slander them, hinting at the guests eating in the hotel, saying that the hotel was operating illegally, and the food was not clean, etc.
Lu Xiaojing, who didn't go back at noon, stood in the office on the top floor of the hotel and looked down. Her face was full of hatred and disgust. These people in the yamen were like ghosts that haunted her. Lu Xiaojing often imagined how good it would be if she lived in the ancient times, where she could kill all these scumbags with a knife.
