Zhang Xinjun came to the hotel where he usually ate. In his private room, Zhang Xinjun often looked at the time impatiently. This kind of impatient mood should not have appeared on him. As a deputy department level cadre, Zhang Xinjun could not be said to be very shrewd, but he should not be so impatient. This was not in line with his identity as a deputy mayor. Zhou Yan's matter had already made Zhang Xinjun's mentality a little chaotic.
Li Dejun sat on the side in silence. There was no one else in the room except him and Zhang Xinjun. Zhao Yi, the director of the Nanming District Branch, had left on the way. Zhang Xinjun wanted to see Deng Qingming, so he did not intend to let Zhao Yi come with him. At this moment, both of them were waiting for Deng Qingming to come. Li Dejun called Deng Qingming, but he had not come yet.
After waiting for a few more minutes, there was a knock on the door. Li Dejun went to open the door. It was Deng Qingming, who smiled and nodded at Li Dejun. Deng Qingming walked in and saw Zhang Xinjun sitting on the chair. Deng Qingming greeted him respectfully, "Mayor Zhang."
"Little Deng, you're here. Sit." Zhang Xinjun composed himself and waved at Deng Qingming in a very friendly manner, asking him to sit next to him. He smiled and said, "Little Deng, do you want to have some supper?
No, no, I ate too much at night. I'm still full. " Deng Qingming smiled and shook his head. He glanced at Zhang Xinjun. Deng Qingming knew that Zhang Xinjun would not look for him for no reason. At this moment, Zhang Xinjun's attitude was so warm that Deng Qingming was not used to it.
"Then let's have some tea. Little Li, ask the hotel to send a pot of good tea over." Zhang Xinjun smiled and turned to look at Deng Qingming. "Little Deng, you've been working for Mayor Chen these days. I see that you've made rapid progress. How is it? Working for Mayor Chen, has your ideological awareness also improved?"
"Mayor Zhang, you're flattering me. What progress? I'm still the same, idling around every day." Deng Qingming responded to Zhang Xinjun's words calmly, but he was wondering why Zhang Xinjun had called him over.
Xiao Deng, if you think this way, I have to criticize you. There are so many people in the Municipal Government Office, how many of them have the opportunity to work and learn from the Mayor? But only a secretary like you has such a unique opportunity. You have to cherish it. How can you say that you are just idling around? Zhang Xinjun looked at Deng Qingming and said, "When Secretary-General Jiang chose a secretary for Mayor Chen, I recommended Deng Qingming to Secretary-General Jiang. What you are thinking now is not right. If you work for Mayor Chen, you must be conscientious so that Mayor Chen won't think you are incompetent. Otherwise, you can stay with Mayor Chen."
Mayor Zhang, just tell me what you want me to do. If I can do it, I will naturally try my best. Deng Qingming smiled bitterly. Since Zhang Xinjun had said so, he could only be tactful.
"Nothing, I just want to know something from you." Zhang Xinjun smiled a little more, and he was very satisfied with Deng Qingming's attitude. "Mayor Chen met Executive Zhou of the court the day before yesterday?"
"Well, there is such a thing. I called Executive Zhou of the court the morning before yesterday." Deng Qingming nodded and looked at Zhang Xinjun in confusion. He didn't know why Zhang Xinjun asked this.
"Then do you know what Mayor Chen and Executive Zhou talked about?"
"Mayor Zhang, you really think too highly of me. How can I know what Mayor Chen and Executive Zhou talked about? The office door is closed, and I can't stick to the door to eavesdrop. Besides, even if I eavesdrop, I may not be able to hear anything. Mayor Zhang, you should know the soundproof effect of the door." Deng Qingming said helplessly.
"So you don't know?" Zhang Xinjun stared at Deng Qingming with a little reluctance, and the enthusiasm on his face was a little less.
"I really don't know. If I know, I will definitely tell you, Mayor Zhang. It is not something that I can't tell." Deng Qingming said seriously, and he was very puzzled. He didn't know why Zhang Xinjun would care about the conversation between Chen Xing and Executive Zhou Ke of the court, which seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Xinjun.
Hearing that Deng Qingming didn't know, Zhang Xinjun's eyes were full of deep disappointment, and he didn't even have the mood to talk for a while. Thinking of the encounter with Zhou Yan just now, Zhang Xinjun's face became a little ugly again. If the matter of that crazy woman was not solved, he would be killed by her sooner or later. Zhang Xinjun had worked hard to climb to the position of Deputy Mayor, and he didn't want to be overturned by a crazy woman.
The atmosphere in the box was a little awkward. Li Dejun hurriedly smiled and said to Deng Qingming, "Secretary Deng, have some tea, have some tea.
Okay, thank you. " Deng Qingming nodded and smiled. After hesitating for a while, Deng Qingming said, "Mayor Zhang, to be honest, Mayor Chen doesn't trust me very much now. As a secretary, I'm also walking on thin ice, afraid that I will be replaced one day. I'm living in fear every day."
"Really?" Zhang Xinjun raised his head slightly. Obviously, he was still a little absent-minded. He just said casually, "Whether you can win Mayor Chen's trust depends on your efforts. Secretary General Jiang arranged for you to be Mayor Chen's secretary, which is the best he can do. As for whether Mayor Chen is satisfied and trusts you, you can only rely on yourself. Others can't help you even if they want to."
Zhang Xinjun didn't get the information he wanted from Deng Qingming, so he didn't care much about what Deng Qingming said about Chen Xing not really trusting him. Perhaps he felt Zhang Xinjun's perfunctory attitude, so Deng Qingming immediately shut his mouth tightly and lost the mood to talk. The reality was so cruel. Deng Qingming didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction to Zhang Xinjun. If he was replaced by Chen Xing in the future, his status in the Municipal Government would plummet. At that time, he would definitely have to tuck his tail between his legs. Li Dejun wanted to say something to smooth things over, but his mouth was dry. He just didn't know what to say.
Li Dejun wanted to say something to smooth things over, but his mouth was dry and he didn't know what to say. The leader was worried about Zhou Yan's case, and he was worried about the leader's future. If something happened to Zhang Xinjun because of Zhou Yan's case, Li Dejun had to prepare a way out for himself. It was impossible for him to follow Zhang Xinjun with all his heart. Every man for himself would be destroyed by heaven and earth. Li Dejun hadn't reached the point where a gentleman would die for his bosom friend. Although Zhang Xinjun trusted him and cultivated him, Li Dejun believed that he had done a lot of things for Zhang Xinjun.
Li Dejun didn't say anything, and the room suddenly fell into a strange silence. Everyone had their own thoughts, so Zhang Xinjun didn't notice the silence in the room for a while.
"Mayor Zhang, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I have to get up early tomorrow. Recently, Mayor Chen attaches great importance to the business fair. I can only work from morning to night." Deng Qingming smiled.
Well, you go back first. Zhang Xinjun waved his hand. Realizing that his attitude was a little wrong, he added, "Xiao Li, help me send Xiao Deng out."
Li Dejun nodded and smiled as he sent Deng Qingming to the door. At the door, they chatted for a while. Both of them were full of smiles. Then, Li Dejun also returned to the room. After leaving the hotel, Deng Qingming looked back and spat on the ground.
After leaving the hotel, Deng Qingming looked back and fiercely spat on the ground. "Bah, if you need me, just call me over. If I don't need you, I don't even bother to talk to you. Do you think I am a prostitute? If I can hold this position of secretary, I don't even want to talk to you. You are just a deputy mayor who is not even a member of the Standing Committee. What's the big deal?"
Zhang Xinjun, who was in the room, didn't know that Deng Qingming was scolding him downstairs. No one knew what he was thinking. Zhang Xinjun's expression kept changing, as if he was making an important decision. After a while, Zhang Xinjun looked at Li Dejun and said, "Xiao Li, come here."
He whispered a few words in Li Dejun's ear. Li Dejun's body trembled, and he almost cried out. His face changed rapidly. Looking at Zhang Xinjun, Li Dejun was really scared. He stammered, "Mayor, it's too risky. I … I can't do it."
Li Dejun was really scared, and his face turned pale. Looking at Zhang Xinjun's face, which looked very gentle with glasses, for the first time, Li Dejun felt that the leader in front of him was too scary. What a vicious heart hidden under that seemingly kind face! Li Dejun felt a chill on his back.
"A man must be ruthless." Zhang Xinjun murmured in a low voice and shook his head as if talking to himself. He looked at Li Dejun with dissatisfaction. "Look at your courage. I didn't ask you to do it now. I just asked you to be prepared in advance. If that crazy woman Zhou Yan really doesn't know what's good for her, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Dejun lowered his head and didn't dare to answer. It was too ruthless, really too ruthless. Even if Zhou Yan was irrational now, she was a woman who had been with Zhang Xinjun for seven or eight years. Zhang Xinjun actually had the idea of putting her to death. Li Dejun felt scared when he thought about it. "Is a human life so worthless in the eyes of these leaders?"
The room was quiet, and time went by bit by bit.
The days passed quickly. The three-month special campaign to crack down on illegal activities had set off a storm in the city. Chen Xing, who was also the leader of the crackdown team, not only had to take care of the crackdown, but he was also very busy with the upcoming business fair.
Zhou Yan's case was returned by the Municipal Court to the Procuratorate for additional investigation. On the side of the procuratorate, the Nanming District Public Security Bureau, which was directly in charge of the case, had to complete the evidence. The case was also dragged on day by day. The branch director, Zhao Yi, temporarily suppressed the case. He discussed it with Zhang Xinjun, but Zhang Xinjun said to delay it as long as he could and let Zhou Yan stay in the detention center. When the time came, it was obvious that Zhang Xinjun was also unwilling to take that extreme step.
On this day, Chen Xing was listening to Xiao Yuanqing's report in his office. He nodded with satisfaction. Chen Xing admired Xiao Yuanqing's calmness and sophistication. In such a short time, Xiao Yuanqing had already integrated into the government office and gained a firm foothold. Chen Xing was very satisfied with this. In the future, when the time was right, Chen Xing would definitely take over the current director of the government office, Huang Yonggang, and let Xiao Yuanqing take over. The director of the office had to be someone that Chen Xing trusted.
"Mayor, last time you asked me to keep an eye out for suitable secretaries. These days, I've looked around. There's a young man named Huang Jianghua who is not bad. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Nanzhou University with a bachelor's degree. He has been in the office for two years and has been working in the Second Secretary Department. He's a down-to-earth and steady young man. He doesn't have any complicated relationships in the Municipal Government. He's a very good young man." After Xiao Yuanqing finished his report, he mentioned what Chen Xing had asked him to do. After that, Xiao Yuanqing looked at Chen Xing without batting an eyelid. Xiao Yuanqing knew that if Chen Xing thought it was okay, then Deng Qingming's position as secretary would be in danger.
"Oh?" When Xiao Yuanqing mentioned this, Chen Xing's attention was also attracted. He didn't care much about what Xiao Yuanqing said at the beginning, but the key was the latter part. There was no complicated interpersonal relationship. Xiao Yuanqing implied that Xiao Yuanqing had a clean background. What Chen Xing cared about was that Deng Qingming now made Chen Xing somewhat wary. This had a lot to do with the fact that Deng Qingming was arranged by Secretary-General Jiang Bingxuan. Jiang Bingxuan was close to Li Haocheng. Therefore, Chen Xing couldn't help thinking about changing secretaries.
How about I call Huang Jianghua over now and let Mayor Chen meet him? Xiao Yuanqing smiled.
"That's not necessary. I believe in your judgment. Send his resume to me later. I'll have a look. Well, during this period, you can observe him more." Chen Xing said.
Xiao Yuanqing nodded and said yes. Seeing that Chen Xing was fine, Xiao Yuanqing tactfully retreated. When he walked outside, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the small office beside Chen Xing's office. That was Deng Qingming's office. Xiao Yuanqing shook his head. Deng Qingming's position as secretary might not last long.
Nanzhou City International Airport.
A flight from Beijing to Nanzhou landed steadily at the airport. A woman wearing big sunglasses and dressed in a casual denim outfit walked out of the plane. Looking at the land under her feet, the woman's mouth slightly curved up. She was Gray Company's Greater China Vice President, Lin Qing. This trip was specially to Nanzhou City for an inspection. At the same time, she would also participate in the investment fair held by Nanzhou City.
After getting off the plane, Lin Qing quickly saw a sign with her name written in front of her. There were also two cars parked on the side. The cars drove directly into the airport and had Municipal Government license plates.
Lin Qing took off her sunglasses and walked over with a smile.
Li Haocheng looked at the woman in front of him. His eyes were fixed on her, and he actually forgot to blink. It took him a while to recover. Are you Vice President Lin?
Yes。 Lin Qing smiled and said in English. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Lin Qing didn't pay much attention to him. She smiled and said, "Why? Don't I look like you?
No, no, I thought that a vice president of a large corporation like Boss Lin would bring a few assistants with him when he traveled. I didn't expect Boss Lin to be alone. Moreover, I thought Boss Lin would be a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes. Li Haocheng shook his head and said half-jokingly. Looking at Lin Qing in front of him, Li Haocheng's eyes were filled with a strange enthusiasm compared to when he came to pick her up at the airport. At this time, Li Haocheng's secretary, Jiang Jin, introduced Li Haocheng to Lin Qing.
When she heard that the middle-aged man in front of her was the Executive Vice Mayor, the second-in-command of the Nanzhou Municipal Government, Lin Qing was surprised. The Nanzhou Municipal Government had informed her that someone from the city would come to pick her up. However, Lin Qing didn't expect that Li Haocheng, the second-in-command of the Municipal Government, would come personally. Looking at Li Haocheng, Lin Qing became more serious. When she saw Li Haocheng looking at her, there was a trace of passion in the depths of his eyes. Lin Qing smiled mysteriously.
I didn't expect that Mayor Li would come personally. I'm really flattered. Lin Qing smiled and shook hands with Li Haocheng.
We've received a letter from the Gray Company to the Municipal Government. Everyone in the city attaches great importance to it. Today, I'm representing the Municipal Government to welcome Vice President Lin and her party. Li Haocheng paused and smiled. Vice President Lin came alone, which was surprising.
I don't like being surrounded the most. Lin Qing smiled and winked. It's a little different from the style of the officials of the mainland.
Vice President Lin has lived abroad for a long time. This is probably a difference in values. Li Haocheng casually replied and changed the topic. Vice President Lin, please get in the car. I don't dare to let a beautiful woman like Vice President Lin sunbathe under the sun.
Mayor Li is really a gentleman. Lin Qing smiled and got in the car. Intentionally or unintentionally, she gave Li Haocheng a flirtatious look.
As the car drove into the city, Li Haocheng quickly became a chatterbox. He got along well with Lin Qing. It had to be said that Lin Qing amazed Li Haocheng. Before he came, he always thought that the Vice President Lin from the Gray Company would be an old foreign woman. These days, it was normal for foreigners working in the mainland to have Chinese names.
Li Haocheng personally came to the airport because he really attached great importance to this matter. The Gray Company was a well-known international investment bank. The Municipal Government Office had received an official letter from the Gray Company saying that the company's Vice President, Jenny, was Jenny.
Lin (Lin Qing) was coming to Nanzhou City for an inspection. Li Haocheng decided to come to the airport as soon as he found out. As for Chen Xing, Li Haocheng was too lazy to talk to him. He just let the director of the Municipal Government Office, Huang Yonggang, tell Chen Xing that he was already in charge of receiving the people from the Gray Company.
The reason why Li Haocheng was so concerned about this matter was undoubtedly because of the Gray Company's international reputation and the company's strength that Li Haocheng attached great importance to. The Municipal Government sending a deputy to receive such a multinational group's Vice President was not an exaggeration at all. Even if it was the head of the company, it would be acceptable. It should be known that the Gray Company was a well-known company on par with Goldman Sachs Group, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and other major international investment banks. They had always only set up branches in Beijing and Shanghai. If Gray Company could set up a branch in Nanzhou City, the significance to Nanzhou City was self-evident. If they could get a group of multinational companies to settle in Nanzhou City through Gray Company, that would be even better.
It was normal for Li Haocheng to attach great importance to this matter. And now that he saw Lin Qing, Li Haocheng's mood became even better. She was a beautiful woman.
He sent Lin Qing to the Nanzhou Hotel. This was the hotel that the city had arranged for Lin Qing to stay in. Li Haocheng enthusiastically sent Lin Qing all the way to the hotel room and enthusiastically helped carry her luggage. Lin Qing didn't have much luggage, just a small suitcase, but Li Haocheng was clearly a little too enthusiastic. After entering the room, Li Haocheng also sat down. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave.
Is CEO Lin satisfied with the place you are staying? If not, let us know at any time and we will immediately change CEO Lin. Li Haocheng said with a smile.
Satisfied, very satisfied. Lin Qing smiled.
Alright then, CEO Lin can rest first. If there's anything, you can contact the people in our office. Li Haocheng saw a trace of exhaustion on Lin Qing's face. He was embarrassed to continue sitting, so he got up and said goodbye.
I will. Lin Qing nodded with a smile.
Then I will take my leave first. I wish CEO Lin a pleasant and successful visit to our Nanzhou City.
Mayor Li's hospitality has already given me a great interest and favorable impression of this city. I think that the following days in Nanzhou City will be a wonderful and pleasant trip. Don't you think so, Mayor Li? Lin Qing looked a little tired, but she forced herself to say this.
Of course, our Nanzhou City is a hospitable city. Li Haocheng's face was full of smiles. CEO Lin, rest first. I will come back at night to welcome CEO Lin.
After sending Li Haocheng to the door, Lin Qing only stopped when Li Haocheng repeatedly asked her to stay. She watched Li Haocheng leave, then returned to her room and closed the door. The tiredness on her face was swept away. There was no trace of exhaustion left. She was clearly very energetic.
She walked around the room and inspected it from top to bottom, especially some hidden corners. After completing these routine tasks, Lin Qing took out her cell phone and made a call. I've already arrived in Nanzhou City. In a bit, send me the detailed information of Nanzhou City's government officials.
The person on the other end of the phone said something. Lin Qing's face revealed a smile. Don't worry. This time, the focus is on Chen Xing. Of course, I will focus on inspecting him. I will see if he is worth the high marks you gave him. The organization has already included him in the list. Of course, I will not dare to ignore him.
