When he woke up early in the morning, Chen Xing felt that his stomach was empty and hungry. Moving his numb limbs, Chen Xing smiled bitterly. Chu Rong rested his head on his arm, facing him and sleeping peacefully. As for He Li, he lay at the end of the bed.
It had been a ridiculous night. Although he was tired, Chen Xing's biological clock had been set. He would wake up at about seven o 'clock every morning. At this moment, he took out his phone from under his pillow and checked the time. It was indeed seven o' clock. Gently taking his hand out from under Chu Rong's head, Chen Xing got off the bed quietly, fearing that he would wake them up.
All of a sudden, a smooth arm wrapped around Chen Xing's shoulder from behind. Chen Xing turned around and saw that Chu Rong had already opened her eyes and was smiling at him with a face full of warmth.
Sorry to wake you up. Chen Xing patted Chu Rong's arm and sat down on the edge of the bed.
I'm a light sleeper, unlike Xiao Li. She didn't even know that the door was broken open when she fell asleep. Chu Rong chuckled and glanced at He Li. He Li was still sleeping like a dead pig.
It's still early. You should sleep for a while. Anyway, you have nothing to do. You don't need to get up early. I'm going to wash up and leave. Chen Xing patted Chu Rong's hand gently.
Why didn't I see Huang Ming call me last night? Chen Xing was about to get up when he suddenly remembered that Huang Ming hadn't called me last night.
Huang Ming is sharp. He must have guessed our relationship. He didn't call me on purpose because he didn't want to disturb us. Chu Rong smiled. He's a man. Are you afraid that he'll get lost?
No, but he went to the Lu family to talk about the investment in the hotel last night. He should have told me about the situation after he left the Lu family. It's strange that he didn't call me. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile.
Don't worry, Huang Ming is probably sleeping soundly right now. If He Hi and I didn't call you, you'd be the one worried that we were being raped. Chu Rong joked. She didn't expect that her words would come true. Huang Ming, who hadn't been heard from for a whole night, had been kidnapped.
Chen Xing didn't think too much about it and forgot to call Huang Ming. He didn't expect that something would happen to Huang Ming. After washing up, he left the hotel in a hurry. When he was about to reach the city hall, Chen Xing asked the driver to stop. He stopped at a roadside snack shop to have a bowl of vegetable noodles and wonton. This was Chen Xing's favorite breakfast.
When he arrived at the Municipal Government and passed by the office, Chen Xing saw that Xiao Yuanqing was already busy in the office. He was quite satisfied with Xiao Yuanqing's performance. Xiao Yuanqing looked up and saw him. and quickly. and walked. Xing. Xiao.
I come here at this time every day. Chen Xing smiled. It was only half past eight. He patted Xiao Yuanqing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Go ahead. Today is your second day in office. Hurry up."
The scene of Chen Xing talking with Xiao Yuanqing was seen by Deng Qingming, who was walking from the opposite side of the corridor. Deng Qingming's face flashed with a trace of haze, but he soon recovered and walked over quickly.
Secretary Deng, please inform Executive Zhou of the court to come to my office at half past nine. Seeing Deng Qingming coming, Chen Xing casually ordered him and turned to his office.
Deng Qingming answered and didn't follow him immediately. Instead, he stayed and talked with Xiao Yuanqing. Director Xiao, the mayor really thinks highly of you.
Secretary Deng, aren't you deliberately making fun of me? The mayor thinks highly of you as his secretary. Everyone says that you are now the No. 2 Chief. Xiao Yuanqing approached Deng Qingming and said with a smile in a low voice. Deng Qingming, who was flattered by Xiao Yuanqing, smiled. Without saying much to Xiao Yuanqing, Deng Qingming followed Chen Xing. The moment he turned around, the smile on Deng Qingming's face disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Yuanqing still kept a smile on his face. Looking at Deng Qingming's back, Xiao Yuanqing's smile became a little strange. He was more pretentious with Deng Qingming. From the meaning revealed by Chen Xing yesterday, Xiao Yuanqing had already guessed that Chen Xing might be planning to change his secretary, which was destined that he couldn't really be too close to Deng Qingming. However, before Chen Xing really changed his secretary, he still had to maintain a friendly relationship with Deng Qingming on the surface.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, Zhang Qingyang, the executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, came to Chen Xing's office.
At this moment, Zhang Qingyang, who had the final say in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was standing in front of Chen Xing's desk. He looked a little uncomfortable. Chen Xing had left him hanging for more than ten minutes. Chen Xing was busy dealing with the documents on the desk and didn't seem to care about him at all. Zhang Qingyang stood still and didn't dare to move. He didn't know whether the young acting mayor wanted to give him a show of strength or whether he had done something to displease Chen Xing. Zhang Qingyang looked very calm on the surface, but he was actually a little nervous.
This was his first contact with Chen Xing. More than half a month ago, when he heard that the newly transferred mayor was only 31 years old, Zhang Qingyang once joked with his friends after drinking in private, "When I was running around in my teens, the mayor was still in his mother's womb. Now, he's probably a young man who hasn't even grown his hair yet. He definitely won't be able to achieve anything. I think he'll either have to leave Nanzhou with his tail between his legs, or he'll have to stay in Nanzhou and behave himself." This was a joke Zhang Qingyang made with his friends after drinking.
He had no respect for Chen Xing from the bottom of his heart. It was no wonder that he would say that. As the provincial capital, Nanzhou City's political environment was more complicated than any other city in Nanhai Province. It had always been a battleground for military forces. Nanzhou City had always been firmly in the hands of the local forces. It was, and it still was. Even as an outsider, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary Fu Youjun, he couldn't break this stereotype even if he wanted to. It could only be said that he had broken the dominance of the local forces. The current Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Ge Jian-ming was on Fu Youjun's side. He could only barely maintain a balanced situation in Nanzhou City. He didn't dare to suppress the local cadres too much.
It was precisely because of the special political soil of Nanzhou City. In addition, although Zhang Qingyang was promoted by Lv Defang, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he was now secretly in contact with the Executive Deputy Mayor Li Haocheng. It could be said that he was labeled as belonging to the Li faction. It was normal for him to be disrespectful to Chen Xing.
But these were the disdain and contempt he showed before he met Chen Xing. Now that he was facing Chen Xing, Zhang Qingyang realized that the courage he used to mock Chen Xing was nowhere to be found. Before he came here, he also told himself that it was just a meeting with the mayor. It was not a big deal. Now that he was really there, Zhang Qingyang really felt that kind of pressure. Even if he looked down on Chen Xing a thousand times in his heart, the feeling of anxiety in his heart could not be faked. It was not that Chen Xing showed how dignified he was, but sitting in the mayor's office itself was dignified.
This office seemed to be shrouded in the aura of power. It would inadvertently bring invisible pressure to people, making people have to be careful in it. Rather than saying that this was Chen Xing's personal power, it was better to say that this was the pressure brought by the power of the mayor.
Yes, this was the mayor's office, the core of the Municipal Government, and also the office of the highest executive of the Municipal Government. No matter how young the person sitting inside was, with the help of the mayor's title, he could also bring pressure to people.
"I'm not afraid of Chen Xing. Why would I be afraid of this young man who is more than ten years younger than me? What gives me pressure is the position of mayor. Yes, I'm not afraid of him, but I'm afraid of the power in his hands." Zhang Qingyang comforted himself in his heart.
After about 20 minutes, Chen Xing raised his head and looked at Zhang Qingyang.
Although he was extremely uncomfortable, Zhang Qingyang also understood that the leader was temporarily done with his work. He quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at Chen Xing eagerly.
Just now, there was an urgent document that was delayed for a while. Sorry to keep you waiting.
No, no, I'm fine. Mayor, if you have something to do, please go ahead. Chen Xing's explanation immediately made Zhang Qingyang feel comfortable. "The leader explained to you because he thinks highly of you." Zhang Qingyang thought happily in his heart, but he didn't realize that he looked down on Chen Xing just now.
Just now, Zhang Qingyang had been ignored for a while, and Chen Xing didn't intend to keep him waiting. He signaled Zhang Qingyang to sit down. In fact, he ignored Zhang Qingyang because he heard from He Li yesterday that Zhang Yang was dissatisfied with Chu Rong. Another reason was that he had a preconceived idea that Zhang Qingyang was Lv Defang's man. He wanted to send a message of dissatisfaction to Lv Defang through Zhang Qingyang. Lv Defang asked Zhang Qingyang to report to him instead of coming in person, which dissatisfied Chen Xing. It was not that he put on airs as the mayor and thought that Zhang Qingyang was not qualified to report to him, but Lv Defang's action undoubtedly conveyed such a message, which was to keep an appropriate distance from Chen Xing.
Lv Defang's message made Chen Xing a little unhappy. It was conceivable that most people didn't think highly of him and thought that he wouldn't stay in Nanzhou for long. Even Lv Defang, who was about to retire, intended to draw a line with him.
Although he was dissatisfied, Lv Defang was a man who was about to retire. Chen Xing couldn't do anything to him. Lv Defang was about to retire and had no desires. As the saying goes, one can be strong without desires. This kind of person was the most difficult to deal with.
Mayor Chen, I'm here to report to you the case that you personally instructed the day before yesterday. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't speak, Zhang Qingyang thought that Chen Xing was waiting for him to speak, so he hurried to report.
Well, is there a result? Chen Xing stared at Zhang Qingyang. What happened yesterday really made him feel strange. It was impossible for Chu Rong and He Li to offend anyone in Nanzhou City. Why would someone want to kidnap them?
There is a little clue. I believe the case will be solved soon. Zhang Qingyang smiled.
Oh, so fast? It's only been a day. Is the Public Security Bureau very efficient in handling cases? You can find clues in such a short time. Chen Xing was surprised.
It's all because of the wise leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government that our Public Security Bureau has a strong fighting force. Zhang Qingyang was very aware of what he said.
Well, let's not talk about this. Tell me about the case. Because this matter was related to Chu Rong and He Li, Chen Xing was also very concerned.
This is mainly a prostitution gang with foreigners. Our Public Security Bureau has been watching for a long time, but we haven't been able to catch the tail of the other party. This is an organized, premeditated, and even bold gang. They often strike in crowded places such as train stations and bus stations. They mainly look for working girls who have just come to Nanzhou to work, and they especially pick young and beautiful ones. According to the analysis of the investigators in our bureau, this sudden case that happened in the downtown area is similar to the usual modus operandi of this organization. However, we didn't expect that the other party would be so bold as to strike in the downtown area. Zhang Qingyang reported in detail and said, "Yes.
Because the other party's crime locations are mostly in the bus stations, our bureau has deployed a large number of plainclothes policemen in the major bus stations in the city, hoping to seize the opportunity to eliminate this gang. We didn't expect that the members of this gang are also very cunning. Recently, they seem to have disappeared without a trace, causing us to deploy a large number of police forces to find nothing. This time, they have changed the crime location to commit the crime again, which is probably related to our strict surveillance at the bus stations and other places.
Zhang Qingyang paused and said. Both Miss Chu and Miss He are good-looking people. It may be that they were accidentally targeted by the other party, which is why they were almost kidnapped. However, this group of people has been so rampant in the downtown area. This time, they have finally revealed their fox tail. The Municipal Bureau is studying to increase the police investment, preparing to eliminate this gang in one fell swoop.
This gang is so insane that your Public Security Bureau should treat it as the biggest case of the year. Concentrate the police force and solve the case with lightning speed. Otherwise, it will give others the impression that the social environment of our Nanzhou City is bad. Who would dare to invest in our Nanzhou City in the future? This case seems to be only a criminal case, but it is also related to the overall situation of our city's investment. After listening to Zhang Qingyang's words, Chen Xing did not doubt him and frowned.
The mayor has instructed us to do our best to solve the case in a short period of time. Zhang Qingyang said sternly.
You said that you have deployed a large number of plainclothes policemen in the bus stations and other places, but this gang has never appeared again. In my opinion, I'm afraid that someone in your bureau has leaked the news. You'd better conduct an internal investigation to see if anyone is colluding with the criminals. Otherwise, this case will never be solved. Chen Xing said.
Well, we have also noticed this matter. Now the bureau is paying more attention to confidentiality measures and is also investigating internally. As long as it is found, it will be dealt with seriously.
Well, it's good that there is an investigation. What we are most afraid of is internal problems. Revolutionary fortresses are often breached from the inside, so you have to pay attention to it. If there is really a policeman who is found to be colluding with the criminal gang, they will be strictly investigated and dealt with.
We will. We will never be lenient to the black sheep of the police force. Zhang Qingyang said resolutely.
At this point in the conversation between the two, Chen Xing finally stopped asking. Chen Xing, who had been observing, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this case had been handled by Chen Xing for the time being. As for how to make up for what he said today, it would depend on the means of the executive deputy director. Zhang Qingyang was not worried at all. Lv Defang was about to retire, so he had the final say in the bureau. As for Chen Xing, as a dignified mayor, he had so many things to deal with all day long. It was impossible for him to follow up on this case all the time. As time passed, this matter would naturally be easier to fool. Zhang Qingyang had tried this tactic many times before.
I am still at ease with the work of the Public Security Bureau, but in the future, we must be stricter in the area of public security. This is not only the need to protect the lives and property of the people, but also the need to comply with the overall situation of attracting investment. A case like this has a very bad impact. As time passes, the reputation of Nanzhou City will be tarnished, affecting the image of the entire city. Chen Xing urged again.
We will definitely pay attention to this in the future. This time, after such a thing happened, Secretary Lv also instructed the Party Committee of the Public Security Bureau to study a feasible measure as soon as possible and prepare to carry out a special rectification activity aimed at the public security environment. We will hand in a satisfactory answer to the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. Zhang Qingyang made a solemn vow. Now, he was also very good at saying these kinds of things.
Well, that's good.
Mayor, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. Seeing that Chen Xing was immersed in the documents again, Zhang Qingyang knew it was time for him to leave.
After Zhang Qingyang left, Chen Xing closed the documents in his hands and recalled the process of the conversation with Zhang Qingyang. Putting aside the fact that Zhang Qingyang had feelings for Chu Rong, Zhang Qingyang had given him a good overall impression. Lv Defang was about to retire, so Zhang Qingyang's position was very important. If he could rope in Zhang Qingyang, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, he could have a certain influence in the area of public security. He just didn't know whether Zhang Qingyang was reliable or not. If he was reliable, it was worth roping him in. After all, he didn't have many people he could use. As for the fact that Zhang Qingyang had feelings for Chu Rong, he would find an opportunity to knock him down a peg in the future. Zhang Qingyang was not that unwise. This was what Chen Xing thought in his heart. Nowadays, most of the heads of the departments, commissions, bureaus, and offices were obeying him on the surface but secretly opposed him on the inside. It would take some time to change this situation.
Secretary Lv, I have already reported the case to Mayor Chen. After returning to his car, Zhang Qingyang hung up the phone with Lv Defang.
Okay, thank you for your hard work. Lv Defang's voice was slightly hesitant. Did Mayor Chen ask anything?
He didn't ask anything. He just asked us to do a good job in public security.
Oh, I see. Remember to do a good job in the work that Mayor Chen asked. Good public security is the responsibility of the Public Security Bureau. Don't slack off.
