The call with Ge Jian-ming, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, made Chen Xing's heart sink. What He Yijun said was not hearsay, but the truth. Lv Defang, who had reached the age limit, was going to retire. The person who would replace Lv Defang as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission was transferred from the Supervisory Office of the Provincial government. The notice had just reached the Municipal Party Committee and had not been officially announced. The Municipal Party Committee would hold a staff meeting in the afternoon, and Chang Baishan, the Vice Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, would officially announce the appointment of the provincial government. Ge Jian-ming said on the phone that he was going to inform him, but he didn't expect that he would call him first.
The news from Ge Jian-ming made Chen Xing's good mood a little worse. As far as he knew, Lv Defang was supposed to retire before the National People's Congress in March next year, but now he retired several months ahead of schedule at this critical moment. There must be something fishy about it. It was not wrong for Lv Defang to retire now. Lv Defang was already 60 years old, so it was reasonable for him to retire now. It was just different from the scheduled time. Moreover, it was a sensitive time for the investigation of Crown Entertainment City, but Lv Defang was "retired" without any warning. If it was purely a coincidence, Chen Xing would never believe it. There were many coincidences in the world, but this was definitely not one of them.
The sun rose in the east and it rained in the west. Chen Xing shook his head with a wry smile. He had just given Li Haocheng a lesson at the executive meeting, but his good mood didn't last long. In the blink of an eye, bad news came. Although Chen Xing had no friendship with Lv Defang, and Lv Defang was not on his side, at least Lv Defang now supported He Yijun to investigate Crown Entertainment City, which was beneficial to Chen Xing. There were still four months before the National People's Congress in March next year, which was enough for a lot of things to happen. Maybe it was enough for He Yijun to investigate the case of Crown Entertainment City and make adjustments to the Public Security Bureau. But now there was a sudden change, and there would undoubtedly be a lot of unknown variables.
Chen Xing didn't know that after he called Ge Jian-ming, Ge Jian-ming was re-examining him in his office. The results of the executive meeting of the Municipal Government had just been passed to Ge Jian-ming. Ge Jian-ming was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Xing could turn around his weak position in the Municipal Government without batting an eyelid. Zhang Xinjun and Shao Huadong. At this time, Ge Jian-ming was writing their names on a piece of paper, intentionally or unintentionally. Ge Jian-ming was surprised by Chen Xing's means of drawing people to his side and dividing people. Chen Xing, who had only been in Nanzhou for half a month, could do this. Ge Jian-ming realized that he had underestimated the young Chen Xing. Chen Xing was not as immature as he had imagined. Judging from what Chen Xing had done at the executive meeting of the Municipal Government just now, he was definitely a veteran politician.
Li Haocheng was overconfident and careless. Ge Jian-ming also thought the same way about Li Haocheng. However, seeing this Executive Deputy Mayor, who even dared to compete with him secretly, being humiliated, Ge Jian-ming was undoubtedly very happy. Chen Xing surprised him, but the current situation was in his favor. A weak Chen Xing was not what he wanted to see. Putting aside the future, Chen Xing would not be his opponent now. Moreover, the fact that both of them were local cadres could form an alliance. Even if they could not form an alliance, it would be beneficial for Ge Jian-ming to let Chen Xing compete with the local people first. Even if they could not cooperate, Ge Jian-ming would be happy to reap the benefits. Even if Chen Xing and Li Haocheng could not fight each other, Ge Jian-ming would push them to fight each other secretly. A united Municipal Government was not good for Ge Jian-ming.
After putting aside the matter of the Municipal Government, Ge Jian-ming turned his attention back to the matter of Lv Defang, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. This sudden personnel change also surprised Ge Jian-ming. Ge Jian-ming did not get wind of it beforehand. Ge Jian-ming did not know whether those people in the provincial government had reached some kind of agreement or compromise. Liao Donghua, the Deputy Director of the Provincial Inspection Office, who took over Lv Defang's position, was also a local cadre. There was no doubt that with this personnel change, the local faction firmly controlled the position of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. However, there was something worth noting. Liao Donghua only held the position of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. According to the provincial government, the current Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Qingyang, would be promoted to the post of Director. Both of them were cadres of the local faction. However, since Liao Donghua did not hold the post of Director of the Municipal Bureau, Ge Jian-ming vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a game within the local faction.
After returning to the office, Li Haocheng flew into a rage and smashed his cup. Jiang Jin, the secretary who followed him in, did not know what had happened in the executive meeting. It was the first time that he had seen his leader lose his composure. Jiang Jin was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe. He stood aside cautiously. Jiang Jin, who had wanted to report to Li Haocheng, did not dare to speak for a moment.
After smashing his cup, Li Haocheng felt a little better. However, when he thought that Zhang Xinjun, who had always followed his lead, suddenly turned against him, Li Haocheng became angry again. With a gloomy face, he scolded Zhang Xinjun, "Did Zhang Xinjun take the wrong medicine today?"
Jiang Jin was stunned and quickly lowered his head. Li Haocheng was talking to himself, so Jiang Jin did not dare to answer. He still did not know what had happened in the executive meeting that made Li Haocheng so angry.
With his hands behind his back, Li Haocheng paced back and forth in the office a few times. His face was full of anger. He wanted to call Zhang Xinjun and ask him to come over and question him, but he could not bring himself to do so because of what had happened just now. Li Haocheng hoped that Zhang Xinjun would take the initiative to come over and explain himself. As long as Zhang Xinjun's explanation was reasonable, Li Haocheng was willing to let bygones be bygones. Even if Zhang Xinjun had taken Chen Xing's side just now, Li Haocheng was willing to pretend that nothing had happened. He was willing to think on the bright side, that Zhang Xinjun had his own difficulties and was forced to do so.
Just like in the meeting just now, Tong Zhengkai also lost his voice at the meeting because the scandals of the departments in charge of industry and commerce and tax were suddenly exposed by Chen Xing. Li Haocheng was also willing to think that Zhang Xinjun also had something on him that could be blackmailed by Chen Xing, so he had no choice but to do what he did.
Turning his head to look at the phone on the desk and the mobile phone on the desk, Li Haocheng's brows tightened. He hoped that Zhang Xinjun would at least call to explain himself.
"Xiao Jiang, call Deputy Mayor Zhang and ask him to come over." After waiting for a while, Li Haocheng became more and more agitated, so he simply gave the order to his secretary, Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin hurriedly nodded and was about to go out to make the call, but Li Haocheng stopped him. "Xiao Jiang, call here, use the office landline."
Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed the internal line of Zhang Xinjun's office. Soon, the phone was connected. Jiang Jin was about to speak, but the person on the other end of the line spoke first. It was not Zhang Xinjun himself. Jiang Jin could tell that it was Zhang Xinjun's secretary, Li Dejun. Li Dejun said, "Mayor Zhang is not here right now. What's the matter?
Where is your leader? Mayor Li wants to see him. " Jiang Jin glanced at Li Haocheng and said.
"Ah, it's Secretary Jiang." At this time, Li Dejun seemed to have just heard Jiang Jin's voice. He turned his head to look at the leader standing beside him, only to see Zhang Xinjun slightly shaking his head. Li Dejun smiled and said, "Secretary Jiang, our leader is not here right now. After the meeting, he came back to the office and then walked out."
Jiang Jin angrily hung up the phone. "Mayor, Deputy Mayor Zhang is not here.
I think it's not that he's not here, but that he doesn't want to come over. " Li Haocheng's face became more and more livid. Zhang Xinjun's performance had completely disappointed him. The two of them had completely fallen out. The anger in Li Haocheng's heart was not just a little bit.
Jiang Jin lowered his head. He also didn't know what had happened to make the leader so angry. At this time, it was better to remain silent, lest he bumped into the leader's anger.
After who knew how long, Li Haocheng raised his head and looked at Jiang Jin, who was standing there silently. "What's the matter?"
"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you, Mayor." When Jiang Jin saw Li Haocheng asking, he hurriedly said, "When you were in the meeting just now, CEO Lin from Gray Group called. I said that you were in a meeting and couldn't answer the call. I asked her if she had anything to tell you, but she didn't say anything and just hung up."
CEO Lin called? Li Haocheng's face softened a little. The anger that had arisen from what had just happened seemed to have subsided a lot. He waved at Jiang Jin. After Jiang Jin left, Li Haocheng then called Lin Qing. His face was full of smiles. "Aiya, CEO Lin, I'm sorry. I was in a meeting just now and couldn't answer the call. What can I do for you, CEO Lin?"
Can't I call Mayor Li for no reason? It seems like I can't call randomly next time. Mayor Li is a busy man, I don't dare to waste Mayor Li's precious time. " Lin Qing smiled.
"No matter what CEO Lin says, as long as it's CEO Lin calling, I will welcome it." Li Haocheng's face was full of smiles. "It's my fault for saying the wrong thing just now. I deserve to be punished."
"Alright, that was what Mayor Li said himself. I wonder if I can invite Mayor Li for dinner tonight. I have to punish Mayor Li by two cups of wine."
"I'm free, of course I'm free. It's my honor to be able to have dinner with CEO Lin. I will definitely be there on time and punish CEO Lin." Li Haocheng said with a laugh. His mood suddenly became much better.
"Then I will be waiting for Mayor Li's arrival tonight."
With Lin Qing's magnetic voice, the two ended the call. Li Haocheng smiled and sat down. Lin Qing's call had greatly reduced his gloomy mood.
After calming down on the chair for a while, Li Haocheng's mood had finally calmed down. Zhang Xinjun's unexpected betrayal had forced Li Haocheng to take it seriously. No matter how arrogant Li Haocheng was, he had to admit that after today's executive meeting, Chen Xing's weak position in the Municipal Government would change. Today, the heads of all the departments were present. Chen Xing's performance at the meeting was enough to attract everyone's attention. Li Haocheng had a headache. The situation was already out of his control, especially when Shao Huadong actually supported Chen Xing. This made Li Haocheng shocked and angry.
Some people were proud, and some people were frustrated. There was nothing more in the world than this. A similar scene was also playing out in the Public Security Bureau.
In the Municipal Public Security Bureau, He Yijun was called into the office by Zhang Qingyang as soon as he finished calling Chen Xing. Today, Zhang Qingyang's depression had been swept away, and his whole person was glowing. Looking at He Yijun in front of him, Zhang Qingyang didn't ask him to sit down. He just let He Yijun stand with his nose in the air. Team He Leader, you don't have to worry about the case of Crown Entertainment City. Jiang Tao's third team will be responsible for it. The bureau has another task for you.
Director Zhang, this case was personally appointed by Mayor Chen and Secretary Lu to investigate. Director Zhang, have you communicated with Mayor Chen and Secretary Lu before making this decision? He Yijun suppressed his anger and looked at Zhang Qingyang.
I don't need to communicate with them. I can make the decision for the matters in our bureau. I don't need to communicate with others. Zhang Qingyang raised his eyebrows and looked at He Yijun mockingly. Team Leader He, if you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to complain to Secretary Lu or protest to Mayor Chen.
He Yijun gritted his teeth and rationally didn't quarrel with Zhang Qingyang on the spot. Chen Xing had already replied to him. Unfortunately, the news he heard was not a rumor, but a fact that was about to happen. Lu Defang would immediately retire, and the new Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee would take office in the afternoon. He Yijun could hear that Chen Xing's tone on the phone was also a little helpless.
Director Zhang, our first team is halfway through the investigation of this case. If we transfer it to the third team now, I'm afraid that it will affect the investigation of the case. I hope Director Zhang can consider it carefully. He Yijun was silent for a while, then once again swallowed his anger and said, "After careful consideration, I decided to hand over the case to the third team.
Team Leader He, your first team is a battle-hardened team with rich experience and strong fighting ability. This kind of case doesn't need to waste your team's energy. There are still a few murder cases in our bureau that haven't been solved yet. Sigh, it's almost the end of the year, and there are still a few major cases that haven't been solved. The Provincial Department's assessment of our Municipal Bureau is not easy to pass, so this difficult task can only be handed over to your first team. Zhang Qingyang's words were full of sarcasm.
Hearing Zhang Qingyang's words, He Yijun knew that it was useless to say anything else. Zhang Qingyang was in cahoots with Zheng Guangfu, and obviously didn't want people to expose Zheng Guangfu's background. Saying anything more would just be a waste of saliva. Taking a deep breath, He Yijun told himself to restrain himself, then turned and left Zhang Qingyang's office. He Yijun was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.
Now, he could only go to find Mayor Chen. Standing in the corridor, He Yijun was in a daze.
Team Leader He, I was just about to look for you. Director Zhang told you that I'll be in charge of the Crown Entertainment City case, right? Ceng Jiangtao, the captain of the third team of the criminal police, walked to He Yijun with a smile.
He Yijun glanced at him coldly, then turned and left, going straight downstairs.
