Chen Xing added He Yijun's name to the list and handed it back to Zhang Qingyang. "The Public Security Bureau will make a new list."
"Okay." Zhang Qingyang took back the list absent-mindedly. His face was tense and expressionless. He really couldn't understand why Chen Xing would pay attention to He Yijun. "Is He Yijun really lucky?"
Chen Xing saw Zhang Qingyang standing still at his desk. He glanced at Zhang Qingyang. "Director Zhang, is there anything else?"
"No, no, Mayor Chen, please continue with your work. I'll go back first." Zhang Qingyang, who came to his senses, was about to leave Chen Xing's office in a hurry.
"Right." Chen Xing suddenly stopped Zhang Qingyang. "Director Zhang, remember to hand over the specific action plan and personnel deployment formulated by the Public Security Bureau to me in time. I want to review it."
Zhang Qingyang, who was at the door, was stunned by Chen Xing's words. He nodded and said nothing. He quickly left Chen Xing's office. There was no doubt that Zhang Qingyang was in a very bad mood at this time. "Damn.
Does he really think he's the Director of the Public Security Bureau? Even Lv Defang, that old bastard, doesn't care so much, but he cares more than Lv Defang. What does Chen Xing want to do? " Zhang Qingyang thought as he went downstairs. He couldn't understand Chen Xing's actions and methods. He even had to worry about the specific action. Did Chen Xing have nothing better to do? How could a dignified acting mayor be so meticulous?
Zhang Qingyang didn't know that Chen Xing did this because he didn't trust him. The reason why he wanted to be the leader of the Special Action Team was that he wanted to rectify the social security of Nanzhou City. Chu Rong and He Li were almost kidnapped. It was still unknown who did it. Zhang Qingyang had explained that there was a criminal gang in Nanzhou City that specifically targeted migrant women and forced them to work as prostitutes. Chen Xing believed it at that time. However, after listening to He Yijun's words, Chen Xing now really didn't know which part of Zhang Qingyang's words could be trusted and which could not be trusted.
As for Huang Ming's kidnapping, Chen Xing had long guessed that Zhang Qingyang must know the person behind the scenes. Based on all these, it was not difficult to see that the social security of Nanzhou City was not much better. Chen Xing hoped to rectify it thoroughly. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could find out what had happened to Chu Rong and He Li. This was half of Chen Xing's purpose.
The other half was that Chen Xing hoped to take this opportunity to intervene in the Public Security Bureau. Of course, this plan of Chen Xing might not necessarily succeed. After all, Ge Jian-ming might also have his eyes on this area. Chen Xing didn't believe that Ge Jian-ming would agree to this matter completely out of the public interest. It was not that he was gauging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that this was the way of officialdom.
Chen Xing had his own plan, and Zhang Qingyang was also having a headache. If Chen Xing even wanted to ask about the specific action of the crackdown, then it would be really difficult for him to handle. Before this, he was still thinking that although this crackdown was initiated by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, and Chen Xing, the acting mayor, was also the leader of the team in person, with high standards, the specific affairs were, after all, the responsibility of him, the Executive Deputy Director. Zhang Qingyang felt that even if he could not muddle through this time like before, he could still control it. Now it seemed that Zhang Qingyang's intuition was a little out of control, which made Zhang Qingyang inexplicably a little worried.
Zhang Qingyang hurriedly got into the car and left, anxious to go back to "deploy", hoping to make arrangements for all the possibilities that might lead to adverse results. Zhang Qingyang had to explain to Zheng Guangfu well that He Yijun, the new addition of Chen Xing in the list, Zhang Qingyang also had to deal with it well. Zhang Qingyang had always disliked He Yijun, so at this time, he naturally regarded He Yijun as one of the unstable factors.
"If I had known this earlier, I would have transferred He Yijun to the lower county bureau even at the risk of being questioned by the old man Lv Defang. Now there are more troubles for no reason." Zhang Qingyang thought to himself angrily, somewhat regretting that he did not take extreme measures in the past. However, thinking of He Yijun's current performance, Zhang Qingyang was relieved. He Yijun had been suppressed by him in the bureau to the point that he had no temper at all. Recently, he had been very obedient, so he should not dare to disobey him.
After Zhang Qingyang left, Chen Xing reviewed the documents in the office until it was past five o 'clock. Chen Xing looked at the time, then stood up and stretched his arms. Walking to the window, Chen Xing pushed the window open a little, rubbed his slightly dry eyes, and habitually looked into the distance. The most conspicuous building in sight was undoubtedly the Four Leaf Clover Group's headquarters located on Xinhua Road. The building was named "Four Leaf Clover" Building. This building, which almost won the highest national award in the construction industry, "Luban Award", could be said to be one of the landmarks of Nanzhou. The 58-story Four Leaf Clover Building, which included high-class office buildings, banks, shopping malls, and restaurants, was also one of the tallest buildings in Nanzhou City.
When Chen Xing thought of last night's banquet, Zheng Jue's figure suddenly appeared in his mind. There was no doubt that this woman could leave a deep impression on men. Chen Xing's mind raced like electricity. The scene of everyone toasting with each other last night appeared in Chen Xing's mind. Chen Xing tried hard to analyze where the trace of abnormality he felt was coming from.
The conversation between Ge Jian-ming and Zheng Jue, the smiles between Guan Zhenming and Chen Haiyang, and the friendliness that Li Haocheng tried to show to Zheng Jue were all unusual. This unusual was undoubtedly related to Zheng Jue. Although Ge Jian-ming had been praising the Four Leaf Clover Group for sponsoring such an influential competition last night, Chen Xing could see that Ge Jian-ming was just stating the facts. Judging from Ge Jian-ming's behavior, he seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from Zheng Jue. On the other hand, the way Executive Deputy Governor Guan Zhenming looked at Zheng Jue was very different. If one did not observe carefully, one would not be able to see it. However, Chen Xing had been observing everyone's every move last night. As for Deputy Secretary-General Chen Haiyang, his friendly and even ardent attitude towards Zheng Jue was even more thought-provoking.
This Four Leaf Clover Group was not simple. Chen Xing murmured. In the distance, the Four-Leaf Clover Building that pierced through the clouds could be said to be a crane in a flock of chickens among the buildings in the entire Nanzhou City. The Four-Leaf Clover Group was probably also a behemoth in Nanzhou City, just like the Four-Leaf Clover Building that pierced through the clouds, high and mighty.
Chen Xing did not know that Guan Zhenming had called Ge Jian-ming because of what happened last night. He had even asked someone to call the Municipal Bureau and leave behind some harsh words. If Chen Xing knew all this, he might have a more intuitive understanding of the relationship between Guan Zhenming and the Four Leaf Clover Group.
After looking into the distance for a while, Chen Xing gradually withdrew his gaze and looked at the people going in and out of the building. Some of them came to the municipal government to handle some affairs, and some were the staff of the municipal government. Everyone was busy. Everyone was rushing about, either for their livelihood or for other reasons. The loftier ones could be said to be for their ideals and careers, while the more practical ones were nothing more than daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.
At the end of the day, whether it was ideals, careers, daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or tea, they were all related to money. When people had no money, they would think about how to survive better. But when they had money, they would think about how to enjoy life better. These were basically the goals that people in society worked hard for.
But what about people living in the system? The treatment of civil servants in the country allowed them not to face the problem of survival, and the quality of life was not low. Most people might enter the system for a stable job and a stable income, but when they did not have to worry about the problem of living, most people would probably fight for power. Speaking of which, the phenomenon of intrigue and deception in this society was, in the end, the disaster caused by money and power.
Chen Xing smiled silently and withdrew his thoughts. He did not know why he suddenly became a little sentimental. Chen Xing had never imagined that he could have the status he had today.
Chen Xing, whose eyes did not have a fixed focus, suddenly stared at an Audi that was driving in from the gate of the Municipal Government. It was the car of Li Haocheng, the Deputy Mayor. If one were to say who was the person that gave Chen Xing the most headaches in Nanzhou City, Li Haocheng ranked second, then no one could rank first. During the time that Chen Xing arrived in Nanzhou, he had not been able to and did not dare to work freely. Part of the reason was that he was restrained by Li Haocheng, the Deputy Mayor.
Of course, a large part of this was because Chen Xing had just arrived. He first needed to adapt to, understand, and familiarize himself with the political and economic environment of Nanzhou. Therefore, during his time in Nanzhou, he did not make any adjustments to the work of the various deputies in the Municipal Government. For the time being, it was the same as before. Moreover, Chen Xing did not have anyone he could use. This was the most troublesome thing for him.
The Audi had just parked in its own dedicated parking space when he saw Li Haocheng's secretary, Jiang Jin, quickly get out of the car. She walked around the car to the other side and opened the door for Li Haocheng in advance. Her movements were swift and extremely skilled. If she had not been doing this all the time, she would not have been so skilled.
When Chen Xing saw this scene, he was slightly stunned. He did not expect Li Haocheng to have such a bureaucratic style. He even had his secretary open the car door for him.
In fact, this kind of thing was very common. It was just that Chen Xing did not usually ask his secretary, Deng Qingming, to do this kind of thing. Previously, Deng Qingming had taken the initiative to do it several times, but Chen Xing told him not to do it in the future. After that, Deng Qingming also tried to do it several times, but Chen Xing stopped him. Therefore, now Deng Qingming did not force himself to do it. At this time, when Chen Xing saw this scene, he shook his head slightly.
As the door opened, Li Haocheng stepped out of the car.
Chen Xing looked at Li Haocheng condescendingly. He could even vaguely feel the kind of high-spirited and vigorous spirit that Li Haocheng vaguely revealed when he walked. Chen Xing knew that Li Haocheng used to be the secretary of Wang Qingyang, the current director of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress. Wang Qingyang was Li Haocheng's backer. Of course, the power in Li Haocheng's hands now gave him the capital to be high-spirited and vigorous.
According to the division of labor, Li Haocheng, the executive deputy mayor, assisted the mayor in charge of the daily work of the Municipal Government, the general office of the Municipal Government, development and reform, key projects, information technology, finance and taxation, structural reform, personnel, statistics, legal system, administrative services, finance, insurance, securities, economic research, emergency management, and so on. He was also responsible for the communication and coordination with the Municipal People's Congress, the army, and the armed police. However, Li Haocheng took advantage of Chen Xing, the mayor, because he was an outsider and had just arrived, so he was not familiar with the officialdom of Nanzhou. Therefore, he wanted to make Chen Xing, the real mayor, a figurehead. Although Chen Xing was now only the acting mayor, this was undoubtedly just a transition. It was only a matter of time before he got rid of the 'acting' character, and this time would not be long.
Li Haocheng thought that if he secretly opposed Chen Xing, the acting mayor, it would be more likely for him to make Chen Xing leave Nanzhou with his tail between his legs. However, he did not know that although such an action allowed him to enjoy a greater desire for power in the short term, he had already planted a bomb for himself, which could be blown to pieces at any time. He had underestimated the power of Chen Xing's background.
Before entering the office building, Li Haocheng subconsciously looked up at the location of Chen Xing's office. This had always been his habit, even when the former mayor was here. Even he did not know why he had gotten used to it. Every time he entered the office building, he would always take a glance at the location of the mayor's office. Today, it was just a subconscious glance. What surprised him was that this time, he happened to see Chen Xing standing in front of the window. Although he only saw a figure, he knew that it must be Chen Xing himself. If other people entered the mayor's office, apart from reporting work, who would dare to stand in front of the window and enjoy the scenery? And Li Haocheng was sure that Chen Xing must have seen him, and at this time, he must also be looking at him. He could also see Chen Xing nodding to him.
In this situation, no matter whether Li Haocheng could confirm whether Chen Xing nodded to him or not, he should return the greeting, so as not to leave a bad impression on Chen Xing. However, out of jealousy, dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction, and a little arrogance, when Li Haocheng caught a glimpse of Chen Xing and saw Chen Xing nodding to him, Li Haocheng directly lowered his head and walked quickly into the office building, without any intention of greeting Chen Xing at all.
Chen Xing, who was standing in front of the window, saw Li Haocheng's behavior and couldn't help but laugh. He nodded to Li Haocheng, which was just a subconscious reaction, more out of politeness and respect. However, Li Haocheng directly pretended not to see it and walked quickly into the office building. Such rudeness and disregard for him did not make him unhappy. Instead, it made him happy, because the more immature Li Haocheng was, the easier it was to deal with him. During the time he came to Nanzhou, in his understanding of Li Haocheng, he didn't know whether Li Haocheng looked down on him or whether he was a person who would directly express his thoughts in his actions. Such people were often easier to deal with and easier to control than those who liked to hide behind people's backs. The reason why his work was difficult to carry out at present was that he lacked a strong breakthrough.
Because of the incident with Li Haocheng, Chen Xing was not in the mood to continue enjoying the scenery. He turned back to sit in the chair and took out a document from the drawer that he had read many times before. It was about the division of work among the leaders of the Municipal Government. At present, Chen Xing's understanding of these people was very limited. After all, he had only been in Nanzhou for a short time, and there was no one he trusted in Nanzhou to give him some clear information. Therefore, these people had to rely on his own eyes and ears to see and hear to distinguish which of these people were really doing the real work. At present, only Shao Huadong had caught Chen Xing's eye, and also made Chen Xing feel that Shao Huadong was worth roping in. The key was that Shao Huadong was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, which was very important.
If Shao Huadong didn't have the background of a local cadre, it would really be perfect. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly. Through indirect inquiries, he still admired Shao Huadong. At present, he had already roped in Shao Huadong, but Shao Huadong's local background still made Chen Xing have some scruples.
On second thought, Chen Xing quickly felt relieved. Whether it was a local cadre or a foreign cadre, as long as they were really doing the work, they should eventually abandon their prejudices.
Municipal Government, Deputy Mayor Zhang Xinjun's office. It was already past five o 'clock. Zhang Xinjun packed up the documents on his desk and was ready to leave. At this time, Secretary Li Dejun hurried in. Li Dejun looked a little anxious. When he came in, he hurriedly reported to Zhang Xinjun. Mayor, just now Director Zhao called to say that the Municipal Court had determined that the evidence in Zhou Yan's case was insufficient and had returned it to the Procuratorate for supplementary investigation. Director Zhao had just received a call from the Procuratorate, and he immediately called to say that this matter was now difficult to handle.
What happened? Where was President Qi of the Court? Didn't he call? Zhang Xinjun was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned livid. The Deputy President Qi he mentioned referred to the Deputy President of the Municipal Court, Qi Jianfeng.
No, President Qi didn't call. Li Dejun shook his head.
Zhang Xinjun's face was very ugly. He kissed the landline on the desk and called Qi Jianfeng. Qi Jianfeng picked up the phone after a long time. Qi Jianfeng laughed and said, "Mayor Zhang, what instructions do you have?"
"President Qi, what's going on with Zhou Yan's case?" Zhang Xinjun suppressed his anger. He had already told Qi Jianfeng about Zhou Yan's swallow, and Qi Jianfeng had also agreed. Suddenly, he received the news that Zhou Yan had been secretly sent back to the Procuratorate for supplementary investigation. Zhang Xinjun didn't know whether Qi Jianfeng really didn't know or was deliberately pretending.
What happened to Zhou Yan's case? Wasn't the trial going to be held in two days? Qi Jianfeng was stunned.
Where are you now? Zhang Xinjun frowned. Qi Jianfeng's answer was very natural, which made Zhang Xinjun realize that something might have gone wrong.
I've been on a business trip for a few days and came over to attend a legal seminar. I've arranged the trial for Zhou Yan's case in advance. Why did Mayor Zhang suddenly call?
I just received news that your court has determined that there is insufficient evidence in Zhou Yan's case and sent it back to the Procuratorate for supplementary investigation. Zhang Xinjun was more or less relieved when he heard that Qi Jianfeng was on a business trip. At least Qi Jianfeng didn't go back on his words. There must be something wrong with other links. At this time, he could only let Qi Jianfeng check what was going on.
It was impossible. How could it be sent back to the Procuratorate? Qi Jianfeng on the other end of the phone was very surprised. "Mayor Zhang, I'll call back to the hospital to ask and give you an answer later."
Li Dejun stood quietly at the desk. He clearly heard the conversation between Zhang Xinjun and Qi Jianfeng. He carefully looked at his leader's face and was secretly worried for his leader. As Zhang Xinjun's confidant, Li Dejun knew the cause and effect of Zhou Yan's case clearly. It had been arranged. The Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and the court had all been connected. It would not be a problem to send Zhou Yan to prison for a few years. He didn't expect something to go wrong at the last moment.
Waiting for Qi Jianfeng to call back, Zhang Xinjun was obviously very upset. He began to walk back and forth in the office, staring at the phone on the table from time to time. If Zhou Yan's case was not handled well, it would obviously become a stone in Zhang Xinjun's heart. Zhang Xinjun didn't want this matter to continue to bring him trouble.
When the phone rang, Zhang Xinjun took two steps to the phone and grabbed the phone with one hand. "Did you find out?"
"Mayor Zhang, I found out. It was indeed sent back to the Procuratorate. The case was personally investigated by Executive Zhou. He looked into the case in detail and said that the evidence was insufficient. How could the trial be held? He requested that the case be sent back to the Procuratorate for supplementary investigation." Qi Jianfeng said truthfully, with a hint of helplessness in his voice. "Mayor Zhang, I can't do anything about this. I didn't expect Executive Zhou to personally pay attention to this case."
"Zhou Ke has nothing better to do. Why would he care about this case?" Zhang Xinjun was full of anger. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he would have almost shouted.
"I don't know. Mayor Zhang, why don't you talk to Executive Zhou? I think Executive Zhou will give you face." Qi Jianfeng suggested. Because Zhou Ke unexpectedly asked about this matter, Qi Jianfeng obviously didn't want to be too involved in this matter. It was good to let Zhang Xinjun owe him a favor, but if this matter was beyond his ability, Qi Jianfeng obviously didn't want to take the risk. Therefore, he suggested that Zhang Xinjun go to Executive Zhou Ke himself.
"It's not like you don't know that Zhou Ke is a difficult person to talk to. Besides, I don't have any friendship with him. With his character and temper, do you think there will be a result if I go to him with this kind of thing? At that time, I will only be asking for a snub. I might even shoot myself in the foot. " Zhang Xinjun said angrily. "Executive Qi, you still have to go on a business trip for a few days. Can you come back today or tomorrow?"
"Mayor Zhang, I really can't leave now. I'm here to attend this legal conference on behalf of the court. The person presiding over the conference is a leader of the Supreme Court. It's not appropriate for me to leave now." Qi Jianfeng said embarrassedly.
"Okay, then you stay for your conference." Zhang Xinjun finally hung up the phone. He had already heard that Qi Jianfeng was shrinking at this time. What he meant was that he didn't want to interfere in this matter anymore. He was afraid that something would happen. This made Zhang Xinjun very angry. Usually, he called Mayor Zhang, and he patted his chest loudly, saying that there would be no problem. But at the critical moment, he couldn't be relied on. All of them were cowards who sailed with the wind. Now that someone was asking about it, they all became cowards.
"Did Zhou Ke take the wrong medicine? There are so many big and important cases, but he pays attention to this trivial case. Is there something wrong with the head of the Municipal Court?" Zhang Xinjun slammed the table and scolded Zhou Ke. He didn't have the demeanor of a deputy mayor. If outsiders saw this, they would only be stunned.
Li Dejun glanced at the door. Seeing that the door was closed, he turned his head back. At this time, he couldn't interrupt. The leader was in a fit of anger and was going crazy over Zhou Yan's matter. Li Dejun, as a secretary, was naturally even more powerless. Listening to Zhang Xinjun's vulgar words, Li Dejun was already used to it. Don't be fooled by these city leaders' demeanor when they were outside. Behind closed doors, some of them were even worse than street ruffians.
"Mayor, the day before yesterday, I saw Executive Zhou enter Mayor Chen's office. Is this related to Mayor Chen?" Director Zhao said that Mayor Chen called him to the office to ask about Zhou Yan's case. At this time, Li Dejun inadvertently thought of what he saw the day before yesterday and hurriedly reported to Zhang Xinjun.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xinjun, who was scolding, suddenly stopped.
"Well, I saw it with my own eyes, but I didn't care at that time. Now that I think about it, Executive Zhou of the court pays attention to Zhou Yan's case. Is it because Mayor Chen intervened?" "In two days, Zhou Yan's case will be in court. Chen Xing met Executive Zhou at this critical moment. Maybe it really has something to do with this matter." Li Dejun analyzed and still called Zhou Ke as Executive Zhou. He didn't dare to swear at Zhou Ke like the leader.
Zhang Xinjun didn't scold anymore, but his face was gloomy. He knew that Chen Xing asked Zhao Yi, the director of the Nanming District Public Security Bureau, about this matter. He also talked with Zhao Yi. Although he was a little worried at that time, Zhang Xinjun roughly thought that Chen Xing would not hold on to this matter. Now that something really happened, it seemed that it was very likely to have something to do with Chen Xing, Zhang Xinjun was undoubtedly in a bad mood at this time.
"Is Mayor Li in the office now?" Zhang Xinjun looked at the secretary.
"Yes, he seems to have just come back." Li Dejun hurriedly replied.
Zhang Xinjun nodded and walked directly out of the office. Li Haocheng was in the office at this time. Seeing Zhang Xinjun come in, Li Haocheng couldn't help but smile. "Hey, Xinjun, why are you in my office at this time?
I heard that Mayor Li has just come back, so I came to sit down. I haven't been to Mayor Li's office for some time. " Zhang Xinjun said with a smile and sat down on the sofa. It could be seen that he and Li Haocheng were quite close.
Li Haocheng poured a glass of water for Zhang Xinjun and sat down on the sofa. Zhang Xinjun, who had a belly full of anger because of Zhou Yan's case, opened his mouth and said, "Mayor Li, I heard that Chen Xing has recently frequently inspected various departments, as if he is eager to show his existence as the acting mayor. I heard that Chen Xing seems to have expressed to people in private that he is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Municipal Government. He said that sooner or later, the division of work of the Municipal Government will be adjusted, and he wants to carry out a bold reform.
Reform? If he is not afraid of causing more people to oppose him, then he can carry out the reform. I would like to see how he will carry out the reform. Li Haocheng snorted coldly.
In fact, I think that the reform that Chen Xing mentioned is just a pretense, and his real purpose is to take back power. " Speaking of this, Zhang Xinjun glanced at Li Haocheng, intentionally or unintentionally. He said this deliberately for Li Haocheng to hear. Li Haocheng, the Executive Deputy Mayor, now definitely has a higher prestige in the Municipal Government than Chen Xing. No one can deny that Chen Xing's words are not as effective as Li Haocheng's. Although he has the title of acting mayor, in fact, he does not have the power of acting mayor. The main reason is that his subordinates do not listen to him. Among the deputies in the Municipal Government, except for those like him who are partial to Li Haocheng, the rest are in a wait-and-see attitude. It is difficult for Chen Xing to carry out his work, and he cannot make decisions on important matters.
If he has the ability to take back power, then he can. He is the top leader, and it is natural that he wants to take back power. I am just afraid that he does not have the ability. When this topic was brought up, Li Haocheng looked very unfriendly. Whether it was the adjustment of the Municipal Government's work division or the so-called "taking back power", as the Executive Deputy Mayor, he would be the first to bear the brunt, because at present, he had the most power in his hands.
Zhang Xinjun looked at Li Haocheng, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He felt a little happy in his heart. His purpose was to provoke and incite the conflict between Chen Xing and Li Haocheng. Chen Xing interfered in Zhou Yan's case and made things difficult for him, so he also wanted to make things difficult for Chen Xing. He had a good relationship with Li Haocheng, so when he came over to say these things, Li Haocheng would not suspect that he did it on purpose. He only succeeded in provoking Li Haocheng's anger. Zhang Xinjun smiled bitterly. He was fanning the flames here, but he could not solve his own problem at all. Zhou Yan's case was his personal matter, so Zhang Xinjun could not tell Li Haocheng about it. Li Haocheng would not meddle in this kind of thing, and he might even be laughed at by Li Haocheng. Zhang Xinjun also could not say anything. He wanted to use his power to send Zhou Yan to prison and shut her mouth, so that she would not come out and make noise everywhere. He really could not tell this kind of shameful thing to Li Haocheng.
"By the way, I heard that Chen Xing has set up a Special Action Team and become the team leader himself." Zhang Xinjun smiled.
"Yes, it's true. It has something to do with the smashing incident in the Dongfang Hotel last night. Deputy Governor Guan is very angry. Ge Jian-ming also ordered a strict investigation. However, no one knows how this Special Action Team was set up. It is said that both Ge Jian-ming and Lv Defang support it." Li Haocheng shook his head and smiled. He was too lazy to care about this matter. He said sarcastically, "In my opinion, Chen Xing has nothing to do in the Municipal Government, so he can only do this kind of thing."
"That's right. As an acting mayor, why should he be the team leader? He really has nothing to do." Zhang Xinjun echoed.
"Oh, Xinjun, do you have anything else to do? I have an important social engagement tonight, which is to have dinner with Deputy Director Song of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. It's almost time. Deputy Mayor Li, do you want to go with me?" Li Haocheng glanced at Zhang Xinjun. He had looked at the time from time to time just now. He did not mean to be perfunctory with Zhang Xinjun.
"No, no, since Mayor Li has an appointment with Deputy Director Song, let's hurry up. I just want to visit you when I have nothing to do. Well, Mayor Li, hurry up and keep the appointment. I have to go." Zhang Xinjun stood up hurriedly.
They walked out together. Li Haocheng went downstairs, and Zhang Xinjun walked to his office absent-mindedly. He had achieved his goal by provoking Li Haocheng. The problem was, how could it help him? Zhang Xinjun smiled bitterly.
Li Dejun saw the leader coming back and walked to Zhang Xinjun. He did not dare to ask anything. The leader's face was still pale. Obviously, Li Haocheng did not get any help. Li Dejun did not know that Zhang Xinjun did not go there to talk about this matter.
"Dejun, contact Director Zhao later. I will go to the detention center to see Zhou Yan. Ask him to arrange it." Zhang Xinjun suddenly stopped and turned his head to order Li Dejun.
Zhang Xinjun did not go back to the office after giving the order. He went straight downstairs with his secretary Li Dejun. When they went downstairs, Zhang Xinjun was waiting for the driver to drive over. When he saw the person next to him, Zhang Xinjun was stunned for a moment. His face suddenly turned cold. It was Chen Xing. Chen Xing was about to leave at this time.
Chen Xing had just walked over and did not see Zhang Xinjun's pale face. He even nodded and smiled at Zhang Xinjun. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinjun did not pay attention to him. He hurriedly got into the car that was already driving over and left.
Frowning, Chen Xing watched Zhang Xinjun's car leave. For a moment, he did not know how to react. What was wrong with Zhang Xinjun? His behavior was too abnormal. Although Zhang Xinjun appeared to be in harmony with him, he was not like this.
Shaking his head, Chen Xing did not think about it anymore. At this time, Chen Xing did not think about Zhou Yan's case at all. Zhou Yan's matter was just a small episode. Chen Xing had promised Zhou Yan's parents to help ask about it. As long as Zhou Yan was indeed wronged, Chen Xing could not sit back and watch her be sent to prison for no reason. It would be hard on his conscience. Now, Chen Xing's focus was on the matters of the Public Security Bureau. Zhou Yan's matter did not distract much of Chen Xing's attention.
In the evening, he was going to have dinner with Huang Ming and the others. Chen Xing also got in the car and left.
The car drove on the urban road. Chen Xing sat alone in the back seat, watching the people coming and going on the sidewalk outside the window. On the main road, there was a long queue of cars. It was rush hour. Not only were there many cars, but there were also many people. The bus stops on both sides of the road were full of people waiting for the bus. Chen Xing had a feeling in his heart. When leaders went out, they had a special car to receive them. When they had a meal, they had a special hotel. When their families went out, most of them had a private car. The sense of superiority and material enjoyment brought by power had made most of them more and more detached from the masses. If all the leaders and cadres took the bus to and from work like ordinary citizens, and had to pay for their meals out of their own pockets, perhaps the whole society would become very different.
There was no one in the front passenger seat. Chen Xing basically did not bring his secretary Deng Qingming for personal activities at night. This was because Deng Qingming was not fully trusted by him. Chen Xing did not want Deng Qingming to know too much about his private affairs. On the contrary, the driver Li Yong, who was driving in the front, made Chen Xing feel more considerate.
Why did they stop? Chen Xing asked subconsciously when he noticed that the car had suddenly stopped. He raised his head and immediately noticed the abnormality in front of him. For some reason, the road in front of him was blocked by a large circle of people, cutting off the slightly congested urban traffic in an instant, not to mention that it was rush hour now.
After waiting in the car for a few minutes, it seemed that the people in front of him still had no signs of leaving.
Mayor, I'll go down and have a look. Li Yong looked back at Chen Xing. After getting Chen Xing's consent, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Chen Xing was not interested in this kind of bustle that people liked to join in. He sat in the car and looked ahead quietly. He estimated that it should be a small traffic accident. He did not see any ambulance at the scene, and he faintly heard some quarrels. It seemed that it could not be a big traffic accident.
Xiao Li, what happened? After a while, Li Yong had returned to the car.
It was not a big deal. A taxi collided with a luxury car, and the owners were arguing with each other. Li Yong explained.
Chen Xing nodded. Although Li Yong's words were a little simple, it almost confirmed his inference just now. The owners might be fine, but the car should be badly damaged. This time, they might quarrel with each other for compensation.
There was no traffic police to deal with it? Looking at the road in front, which was basically blocked, Chen Xing frowned.
Yes. Li Yong said. After thinking for a moment, Li Yong said another sentence, but it seemed that the traffic police did not handle it very well.
More than half of the Public Security Bureau had been corrupted. Could it be that even the traffic police detachment was almost corrupted? They could not even handle such a small accident well. It was the rush hour now, and clearing the traffic was the top priority. After listening to Li Yong's words, Chen Xing muttered in his heart. He was a little dissatisfied with the efficiency of the traffic police department. Even if he did not know how the traffic police handled it, Chen Xing was more or less dissatisfied with the traffic jam.
Looking at the time, Chen Xing sighed. The car was stuck here, and he could not go back. He could only wait. Taking out his mobile phone, Chen Xing thought if he should call the leader of the traffic police detachment. He picked up the phone and hesitated for a moment. Not knowing what Chen Xing was thinking, he put the phone back.
After waiting for seven or eight minutes, fortunately, this road was not blocked for long. As the onlookers dispersed, and the two cars involved in the accident were guided to the side by the traffic police, the traffic gradually became smooth again. Passing by the place where the onlookers just now, Chen Xing couldn't help but look there. Two colliding cars were parked against the guardrail. An ordinary taxi and a blue Porsche 911. Why does this car look a little familiar? When Chen Xing saw the Porsche, he was surprised.
Wait a minute. At first, Chen Xing just looked at it casually, but when he saw the blue Porsche, Chen Xing couldn't help but look at it again. Chu Rong and He Li were standing beside the taxi. Chen Xing hurriedly asked Li Yong to stop the car first.
Mayor, there is no parking here. Li Yong smiled bitterly.
