The interval between each call was relatively short. With one look, Chen Xing knew that something urgent must have happened. He didn't have time to worry about who to call back first. He directly pressed the dial button and called. The number at the top happened to be Huang Ming's. As soon as the call was connected, Chen Xing hurriedly asked, "Something urgent happened?
Something happened just now, but it's all right now. " Huang Ming laughed. Chen Xing could still vaguely hear the voices of Chu Rong and He Li, especially He Li, who had always been very active, and his voice was relatively loud. However, when he heard that it wasn't something urgent, Chen Xing was finally a little relieved.
"Hello, Mayor Chen, I want to complain to you. The security situation in Nanzhou City is very poor. I even suspect that there are triads here."
Chen Xing suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his ear. It was He Li. Seeing that it was Chen Xing calling, she immediately snatched the phone from Huang Ming's hand and started talking to him. Moreover, she spoke in a loud voice. Chen Xing didn't have time to move the phone further away from his ear. His eardrums started hurting from the piercing sound. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Could you lower your voice? I almost became deaf because of you.
"I'm afraid you can't hear me if I lower my voice. It's noisy on the street." He Li said a little carelessly.
"Come on, do you think I'm deaf? What did you just say? There are triads in Nanzhou City? He Li, you can't talk nonsense without evidence, understand? " Accustomed to He Li's character, Chen Xing didn't care much about He Li's words. If it were another person who said it, perhaps he would have reprimanded them.
"Really, Mayor Chen, we were almost kidnapped just now. You almost couldn't see us anymore." Seeing that Chen Xing didn't believe him, He Li said anxiously.
What was going on? Hearing that He Li was serious this time, Chen Xing was startled. From He Li's tone, it didn't seem like he was joking. Chen Xing also took it seriously. Although there might not be any underworld, if there really was such a thing, it would mean that the public security situation in Nanzhou City was very poor. Moreover, it involved the safety of He Li, Chu Rong, and Huang Ming, so he had no choice but to take it seriously.
Just now, I, Rong jie, and Huang Ming were strolling on the street. When we came out of a shopping mall, several strange men suddenly rushed over and grabbed me and Chu Rong. They wanted to drag us into the car. If Huang Ming hadn't reacted fast enough and shouted to stop them, we would have been dragged into the car. He Li recounted what had almost happened just now.
Have you called the police? Chen Xing frowned. He Li and Chu Rong had only arrived in Nanzhou the day before yesterday. They didn't know anyone here. Why would someone want to kidnap them?
They called the police, but the police came and left without saying anything. He Li said angrily, Mayor Chen, those police officers are very annoying. Not only did they not help us register the case, but they also said that they suspected us of lying about the case to trick them into sending the police. They said that we were wasting the national police force. If this happens again, they will detain us. I say, are you Nanzhou City police the people's police? The day before yesterday, you didn't dare to do anything at the entrance of the Municipal Government. Today, when this kind of thing happened, you don't even care. You even slandered us and lied about the case. It's really infuriating.
I even suspect that the police here are gangsters. He Li had just been frightened, and then he was angry because of those police officers. He had nowhere to vent his anger. Now that Chen Xing had finally called, if he didn't properly complain, he would feel wronged.
After asking about the cause and effect of the matter in detail, Chen Xing had a preliminary understanding of the matter. It turned out that they were bored in the hotel today, and Chen Xing didn't have time to accompany them, so they came out to go shopping. They didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
Chen Xing hung up the phone and habitually frowned. Anyone who was familiar with him would know that Chen Xing was unhappy. Through the phone, Chen Xing had learned that the police who received the report only arrived a long time after the men had left. However, the police refused to accept the case because there was no witness or material evidence. As for the passersby who saw this scene, they said that they were willing to stand up as witnesses, but the police found excuses to dodge the matter and left.
Chen Xing was a little angry at the negligence of the police, but he thought that since the other party dared to do this kind of thing in the daytime, they must have something to fear. The behavior of the police also showed that those who tried to kidnap them must have something to rely on.
Secretary Deng Qingming sat in the driver's seat in the front and carefully looked at Chen Xing's expression. Although he didn't know what exactly happened, when he heard the word "report" from Chen Xing, he knew that something might have happened. When he looked at Chen Xing's expression again, it gave him a gloomy feeling.
"Mayor Chen, do you want to call Secretary Lv?" Deng Qingming took the liberty to speak. Through the important words he heard from Chen Xing, he secretly tried to figure out what Chen Xing meant. As for Secretary Lv, he was undoubtedly referring to Lv Defang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and director of the Public Security Bureau. Lv Defang was in charge of politics and law and was also one of the local cadres of Nanzhou City. Although he was approaching the age of retirement, he had been in charge of politics and law for a long time. In addition, he had climbed up step by step from a grass-roots policeman, so he had a high prestige in the political and legal system of Nanzhou City. What Chen Xing said on the phone seemed to be related to the public security. Therefore, Deng Qingming naturally thought of the leader in charge of politics and law first.
Well, you call, I'll talk to Secretary Lv. Glancing at Deng Qingming, Chen Xing nodded.
Lv Defang, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was just about to come out of the hospital. As he got older, some physical problems also appeared. Some of the chronic diseases left behind when he was a policeman in his early years were not cured. Later, when he became a leader, he did not control his smoking and drinking. Every time he had a social interaction, he would drink until his face turned red. Now he was old, and his body, which was overdrawn when he was young, began to be unable to take it. There were no major diseases yet, but there were a lot of minor ones. Lv Defang came to have his waist checked today. He had been injured before, and later he did not feel any discomfort. Recently, however, he repeatedly felt that the place where he was injured when he was young was sore.
Lv Defang wanted to come to the hospital for a check-up. It was almost 11: 30 pm when he came out of the hospital. Lv Defang was thinking whether he should go back to the office or go home directly. There was a cute little grandson who was less than two years old at home. Now, he liked to go home to hug his grandson and do some gardening. This kind of life was also very happy. Anyway, for him, his current job was to do his last job well and then retire smoothly. If he could get the treatment of a director when he retired next year, his life would be considered complete. Now, he just had to do his job well in the last three or four months.
As soon as the car started, Luo Jisheng, the secretary, suddenly turned his head and whispered, "It's a call from the mayor. I'll tell Secretary Deng that you're not here at the moment, and I'll call you immediately."
This was a tacit understanding that Lv Defang and his secretary, Luo Jisheng, had formed for a long time. Generally, as long as there was a call, Luo Jisheng would first see who the other party was. If it was someone Lv Defang didn't want to see, he would block it for Lv Defang. If the other party had a certain level and could know Lv Defang's private mobile phone number, he would immediately inform Lv Defang. At this time, Lv Defang would turn off his private mobile phone number.
At this time, seeing that it was a call from the mayor, Luo Jisheng still used the old method. He was also clear about the current situation of the city government. He knew that the new mayor had just arrived and was having a hard time. His boss, Lv Defang, was a local cadre, so when he saw that it was a call from the mayor, he cleverly blocked it first. However, most of the people he blocked before were lower than Lv Defang. This was the first time he blocked the mayor's call, so he felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, Lv Defang had not really gone home yet, so he could report the situation in time. Otherwise, he was really afraid that this kind of thing would be exposed. In the future, when Lv Defang left, if the mayor wanted to deal with him because of this kind of thing, it would not be a problem.
A phone call from Mayor Chen? Lv Defang asked with uncertainty. After seeing Luo Jisheng nod, he couldn't help but ask him to be cautious. He didn't have much contact with the new, young mayor. Now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the acting mayor, Chen Xing, and the executive deputy mayor, Li Haocheng, were definitely not on good terms. Li Haocheng used his advantage as a local cadre to rope in a large number of officials who were also from Nanzhou City. It seemed like he wanted to take over the mayor's power. As for Lv Defang, he had also hinted many times that he hoped Lv Defang could clearly stand on his side. After all, although Lv Defang was about to retire, as long as he was still in office, the vote in his hands would play a role. Moreover, Lv Defang's prestige in the political and legal circles was high, and he was also a local cadre with real power. Therefore, Li Haocheng still attached great importance to Lv Defang. However, Lv Defang pretended not to see most of the hints to Li Haocheng, and sometimes he would find some excuses to evade it, which made Li Haocheng both angry and helpless.
Lv Defang turned a blind eye to Li Haocheng's goodwill mainly because he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle between the two giants of the Municipal Government. He wanted to remain neutral. Although it was said that officials could never avoid the problem of choosing a side, and those who were in the middle might not offend either side, they were often disliked, so it was very likely that they wouldn't go far in their official careers. However, these problems became no problem for Lv Defang, because it was impossible for him to be promoted anyway. He was waiting to retire, so he wasn't afraid of offending anyone. He just didn't want to get involved in this struggle, lest he got himself into trouble. What he wanted was stability.
Now that Lv Defang heard that it was the mayor's phone call, he hesitated whether he should call Chen Xing or not. Why would Chen Xing, whom he had never met before, call him? Lv Defang made a random guess, and finally decided to call Chen Xing back. At yesterday's meeting of the Standing Committee, Ge Jian-ming actually supported Chen Xing, which more or less showed that Chen Xing was not alone and helpless. At the critical moment, maybe Ge Jian-ming would help Chen Xing, which made many people who were watching in the middle had to re-evaluate Chen Xing.
Hello, Mayor Chen, how are you? When Lv Defang called Chen Xing, he had already gotten rid of all those thoughts in his mind, and changed to a normal tone.
Is it Secretary Lv? I hope I didn't disturb your work. Chen Xing said politely.
It's okay, it's okay. Mayor Chen definitely called for something serious, so how could it be considered as a disturbance? What's the matter with Mayor Chen? When Lv Defang said this, he looked very generous on the surface, but his heart was stretched taut. Haha, it's like this.
Just now, a businessman who came to Nanzhou City to invest called me to complain that his personal safety was threatened. He called the police, but the police ignored him. I don't know if this really happened, but I don't think the investor would be so bored as to play this kind of joke on me. I think you can ask about this matter. The lives of businessmen who came to invest in Nanzhou City could not be guaranteed. If this news were to spread, how bad would the impact be? This is related to the overall situation of Nanzhou City's investment. I hope you can pay attention to this matter. Nanzhou City is the capital city. If the security of the capital city is not good, then it will really have a bad impact on the external image of Nanzhou City.
Is there such a thing? When Lv Defang heard that Chen Xing was talking to him about political and legal matters, and not what he had guessed, his heart relaxed. He didn't pay much attention to Chen Xing's words after that. After a while, he realized that what Chen Xing said to him was not a small matter. This kind of matter that involved investment could be big or small. If it was used by people to create hype, it would be infinitely magnified. He hurriedly promised Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, you can rest assured that I will personally ask about this matter. I will not allow anyone to tarnish the good public security environment of Nanzhou City. As long as the few police officers who did not do their job are found out, they will definitely be severely punished.
Secretary Lv, I only said this based on the investor's complaint. Whether this is the case or not, we will only know after an investigation. Only after an investigation can we have the right to speak. We cannot wrongly accuse any good person. After all, the work of the low-level police is also very hard. But no matter what the final situation is, we must pay attention to the life and property of the investors.
What Mayor Chen said was that he would investigate this matter as soon as possible and give Mayor Chen a satisfactory reply. When it came to the area that he was in charge of, Lv Defang also seriously agreed. Otherwise, if people said that Nanzhou City's public security environment was not good, in the end, it would still be his face that was slapped. The proudest thing in his career in this life was when he was still working in the front line of the public security. Because of his outstanding work, he was evaluated as "Advanced" many times, and had even been awarded "Second Class Merit" and "Third Class Merit" many times. Those were all earned by his own ability, and they had also become the honor that he cherished the most. It was also because he was in charge of the political and legal area that the public security environment of Nanzhou City had always been praised. At least, he thought so. Now that he heard such a thing, he naturally felt uncomfortable.
After the phone call with Chen Xing, Lv Defang was also completely relieved. Lv Defang had always thought that he had absolute control over the political and legal area.
Although Lv Defang did not know the specific relationship between the investor who called Mayor Chen Xing and Chen Xing, he thought that the person who could directly call the mayor's mobile phone must have an extraordinary relationship with the mayor. Otherwise, Chen Xing would not immediately call the mobile phone of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Therefore, Lv Defang did not dare to be negligent. He immediately called Zhang Qingyang, the executive deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, and carefully explained the matter.
Zhang Qingyang, the executive deputy director, was currently in charge of the daily affairs of the Public Security Bureau. Because Director Lv Defang was also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, it was impossible for him to personally manage such a big mess like the Public Security Bureau. Therefore, as long as it was not a major matter, basically everything was handled by Zhang Qingyang. Lv Defang was also very at ease with Zhang Qingyang, because Zhang Qingyang was a cadre that he had promoted. Lv Defang trusted and valued him very much, otherwise, he would not have delegated power to him.
Director Zhang, look at you. When you come out to play, don't turn on your mobile phone. Otherwise, how can you play to your heart's content?
In the Haitian Hotel, Zhang Qingyang, Zheng Guangfu, and Chen Dafei were preparing for lunch. As for what impromptu programs would be after lunch, everyone was well aware. Zheng Guangfu had just said that someone had just introduced a few students from the University of Nanzhou to sit on the stage. They were all doing this for the first time, so they were definitely authentic goods. Zheng Guangfu said with a smile that good things should be enjoyed by friends first, so he called Zhang Qingyang and Chen Dafei over to play together. Beside each of the three sat a girl that looked like a student. Her figure and face were not bad, but her actions of serving people were still a bit awkward. In addition to the three girls, there were also three more sitting on the side. In the large private room, there were three men and six women, and it was full of laughter.
The girl beside Zhang Qingyang was the one that caught his eye at first glance. Zheng Guangfu repeatedly praised Zhang Qingyang for having good taste, and even regretfully said that he had his eyes on her. Who knew that Zhang Qingyang's hands were faster than the others, and he picked her first. As expected of a police officer, his hands and feet were faster than others, and even picking women was no exception. This made Zhang Qingyang burst into laughter.
The three of them were having fun in the private room when a call from Lv Defang interrupted Zhang Qingyang's mood. After cursing angrily, he took out his phone in a bad mood. When he saw that it was a call from his superior, he put on a stern face and made a shushing gesture to the girls beside him. After adjusting his mood, he picked up the call.
What Lv Defang had instructed him to do was what Chen Xing had specifically called him to tell him. Zhang Qingyang, who was usually very respectful and obedient to Lv Defang, naturally agreed to Lv Defang's instructions repeatedly and promised that he would complete the task before hanging up the phone.
Seeing Zhang Qingyang hang up the phone, Zheng Guangfu said half-jokingly, "Chief Zhang, turn off your phone when you come out to play. Fortunately, you're still eating. If you suddenly get called away when you're in a real fight, wouldn't that be torture?
Chief Zheng, I'm a public servant, so I can't compare to you businessmen. There's no one to restrict me, and I can play whenever I want. If I turned off my phone, what would I do if I made a mistake? Fortunately, I didn't listen to you guys just now. Otherwise, if I really turned off my phone, the old fart wouldn't be able to find me and might criticize me again. Last time, I was criticized by the old fart because I turned off my phone. In the future, I have to learn to be obedient. It wouldn't be good if I left a bad impression on the old fart. In the remaining three to four months, I can't fall short of success. " Zhang Qingyang said embarrassedly. Secretary Lv, who was very respectful just now, had now become "old fart". There was no trace of respect at all, and it was even full of ridicule.
Why, why is that old fart looking for you? After joking, Zheng Guangfu also asked curiously. Just now, when he heard the conversation between Zhang Qingyang and the other party, he knew that it was Zhang Qingyang's boss, Lv Defang. He thought to himself that it couldn't be related to what he had instructed in the morning, so he was also very concerned. Since the morning's task was not successful, Zheng Guangfu scolded his subordinates. They couldn't even handle such a small matter. They were no different from a group of good-for-nothings, and they were even seen by so many people in the downtown area. If it wasn't for Zhang Qingyang, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, informing them, they might really have been in trouble. Zheng Guangfu was also very angry. The key was that he wanted to please Chen Dafei, but he didn't succeed.
It wasn't a big deal. The old fart just had nothing better to do. He said that there was a foreign investor whose life and property were threatened. He was really sick. When did the old fart start to care about this kind of thing? Zhang Qingyang curled his lips and turned to Zheng Guangfu. Chief Zheng, it's not that I want to criticize you, but in the future, tell your subordinates to do things more efficiently. If they keep making trouble, I can protect you for a while, but I can't guarantee that I can take care of you every time.
That's right, that's right. Chief Zhang is right. I also scolded those good-for-nothings. It's just two women, but they actually flipped the window in the gutter. Zheng Guangfu said angrily. In the future, I will tell them to do things more intelligently.
Zhang Qingyang nodded and didn't say anything more. He looked at Chen Dafei and said, Young Master Chen, could those two women be related to Mayor Chen? Mayor Chen actually called the old fart personally because of this matter. Can you stop? Humph, what kind of background can they have?
Aren't they just two foreign investors? I asked Minxuan to ask. These two women just came to Nanzhou the day before yesterday. They are here to participate in the business fair that will be held in a few days. They only visited Chen Xing that day because of his reputation. They have no special relationship with Chen Xing. Now that they have encountered some trouble and complained to Chen Xing, I reckon that Chen Xing will only ask about it. After all, they have the title of an investor. It must be because of this that Chen Xing paid special attention to them. Chen Dafei said disapprovingly. Obviously, he was not willing to give up like this.
Seeing Chen Dafei's attitude, Zhang Qingyang could only smile helplessly. He still had something to ask of Chen Dafei. Now the city was investigating Lv Defang's successor. Lv Defang's suggestion was very important, but the city's investigation was equally important. Although the final decision was made by the province, in fact, the city could basically make the decision. Although Chen Dafei's father, Chen Tongjin, had retired for many years, he still had a lot of influence. This time, Zhang Qingyang also hoped that Chen Tongjin could help him operate. As for Lv Defang, Zhang Qingyang had been fooling him well and painstakingly created a good image in front of Lv Defang. Therefore, as long as Zhang Qingyang found someone who could help him in the city, he would be halfway to success.
Zhang Qingyang did not force Chen Dafei to give up the idea of the two women, but he still said that the old man had not come down yet. He still had to do what he ordered. It seemed that he had to make a trip in person later. This was Zhang Qingyang's cleverness.
Although in private, he did not respect Lv Defang, who was about to retire, on the surface, he still maintained his usual style. He was very well-behaved in front of Lv Defang. He always agreed to Lv Defang's orders without hesitation. Every time, he would do it himself. He often did it beautifully, which made Lv Defang very satisfied. Although sometimes he did not really do it well, he could always find a way to deceive Lv Defang. Lv Defang was still the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. He still had to manage other things. It was impossible for him to pay attention to the internal affairs of the public security system. In addition, Zhang Qingyang was promoted by him, so Lv Defang had delegated power to Zhang Qingyang long ago.
For a long time, Zhang Qingyang had given him the impression of being very capable, so Lv Defang trusted Zhang Qingyang even more. Therefore, this also led to the current Public Security Bureau being basically controlled by Zhang Qingyang. It was just that Lv Defang was in the bureau, so he didn't know it himself. He thought everything was under his control.
Young Master Chen, if you still want to hit on the two women, I think you should discuss it with Chief Zheng. If something goes wrong again and the old man asks about it again, I won't be able to fool him. Zhang Qingyang reminded.
This time, my good-for-nothings didn't do a good job and let Chief Zhang and Young Master Chen see a joke. Don't worry, there won't be a second time. The next time we make a move, it will definitely be clean and neat. Zheng Guangfu promised.
That's good. If there's trouble again, I won't clean up your mess. Zhang Qingyang said with a straight face.
Aiya, Chief Zheng, you're already in your forties. You still need Chief Zhang to clean up your mess when you go to the toilet? Chen Dafei tried hard to suppress his naughtiness.
Well, I've always been self-reliant. I can go to the toilet myself.
Get lost, get lost. Nothing good comes out of your mouths. Zhang Qingyang scolded jokingly.
The few women at the banquet tried their best to hold back their laughter. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Chen Dafei, who made such a vulgar and unprofessional joke, laughed the most.
Zheng Guangfu tried hard not to laugh and said to Zhang Qingyang, "Chief Zhang, the old man asked you to do it, but he didn't ask you to go now. Look, Xiaoting is in love. If you leave later, you'll leave the little beauty alone in the room.
Haha, how can I bear to leave the little beauty alone in the room? I can't just eat and drink to my heart's content. No matter what, I have to feed the little beauty before I leave. " Zhang Qingyang laughed heartily. Zheng Guangfu was talking about the female student he had just picked.
Xiaoting, it's rare for Chief Zhang to take a fancy to you. Why aren't you drinking a few more cups with Chief Zhang? Why are you acting like a blockhead? Zheng Guangfu scolded the woman beside Zhang Qingyang with dissatisfaction.
Chief Zheng, can't you see that she's secretly communicating with Chief Zhang under the table? Look at you, you uncouth man. You've ruined the atmosphere in an instant. Chen Dafei laughed.
Is that so? If that's the case, won't we be an eyesore here? Young Master Chen, I say, why don't we each hug one and go to another room to have fun? Zheng Guangfu laughed heartily and hugged the woman beside him. Chief Zhang, there are three more. Is one enough for you? Do you want me to arrange the other three for you?
