Chen Xing's words stunned Lin Hong. In the past two or three years, she did do this a lot. Through Li Haocheng's relationship, she got to know many heads of departments in the city. When dealing with those people, Lin Hong always kept some tricks up her sleeves. It could be said that she had information on many officials, who were still ignorant until now. These were the capital that she used to save her life at the critical moment. Although Li Haocheng was her backer, she would not hang herself on one tree. Even if she had been able to firmly grasp Li Haocheng's heart these years, it was impossible to change the nature of men who liked the new and hated the old. It was impossible for Li Haocheng to treat her as before. It was reasonable for her to keep some leeway for herself. Taking a step back, it was also a problem whether Li Haocheng could continue to be popular. The officialdom was like a battlefield. Li Haocheng was now very powerful, but it was hard to say what would happen in the future. It could be said that Lin Hong was making a two-way preparation for herself. Every man for himself.
Lin Hong just wanted to control her own fate and didn't want to be manipulated by others. She didn't believe in men, and she didn't believe that there was any true love in this world. There were only money, body, and power-for-money transactions. These dirty deals constituted the circle of capital and power. In this circle, Lin Hong only wanted to live for herself, to live freely and to live freely. Therefore, she would do it by hook or by crook. Lin Hong didn't care what kind of image she had in the eyes of others. People lived for themselves.
The temporary absent-mindedness didn't make Lin Hong's thinking stagnate. After getting rid of these messy thoughts in her head, Lin Hong was still shrewd. Her brain worked faster than anyone else. She hid her emotions well and smiled as if nothing had happened. "Mayor Chen, I was wrong today. I went too far with the joke. I hope Mayor Chen won't take it to heart."
In Miss Lin's eyes, this was just a joke that went too far? Chen Xing said coldly. The recording pen was in his drawer. If he hadn't been vigilant, he would have been tricked again this time. Thinking of the two similar experiences in the past, Chen Xing also had an inexplicable anger in his heart. "Miss Lin thinks it's just a joke, but I don't think so. If Miss Lin doesn't give me an explanation, I'm afraid it won't end so easily."
Chen Xing's words made Lin Hong's expression slowly dignified. She could feel the coldness in Chen Xing's voice. Lin Hong had to take the possible anger of Chen Xing seriously. She wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but it seemed that Chen Xing didn't want to let it go easily. This was undoubtedly what Lin Hong didn't want to see the most.
The reason why Lin Hong didn't call Chen Xing to explain in time after Chen Xing left was that Lin Hong wanted to give both sides a buffer time. She wanted time to dilute Chen Xing's anger a little, and she also wanted to calm down and think about how to deal with it. Lin Hong knew that the biggest taboo for officials like Chen Xing was to have something on them. As long as there was a chance, these officials would definitely kill him without mercy. Their hearts were blacker than anyone else's. Lin Hong had no doubt that Chen Xing would do the same if there was a chance. However, now that she was caught red-handed by Chen Xing, she had to find a way to give Chen Xing a satisfactory answer.
Mayor Chen, I want to say that I don't mean any harm to you. I just want to leave a way out for myself in the future. I don't know if you believe me, Mayor Chen? Lin Hong sighed. She could only play the pity card with Chen Xing. This was the strategy she had just thought of.
If someone held a knife to your neck and said that he didn't mean any harm to you, would Miss Lin believe it? Chen Xing sneered at Lin Hong's words.
I know it's hard for me to convince Mayor Chen that I don't have any bad intentions, but it's the truth. I just want to leave a way out for myself. Mayor Chen, you should know that it's not easy for a weak woman like me to survive. In this man-eat-man society, if I don't find some way to protect myself, it's not impossible for me to be eaten alive. Especially this time, the business I want to cooperate with Mayor Chen is very risky. I think even if I don't say much, Mayor Chen, you should know. Lin Hong said helplessly. Zheng Guangfu, Zhang Qingyang, and Li Haocheng are all people I can't afford to offend. If they know that I did this, no one will spare me. But Mayor Chen, you don't have to worry at all. No one dares to do anything to you, but I have to think of a way out for myself. The reason why I want to record this is that I hope that you won't go back on your words at the critical moment. When I need your protection, Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen won't stand by and do nothing. "
Lin Hong's words made Chen Xing fall into silence for a while. Lin Hong's words were full of emotion and seemed to be true. It was hard for Chen Xing to refute him.
Seeing that Chen Xing's attitude seemed to have eased a little, Lin Hong, who was on the other end of the phone, secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then he added fuel to the fire. "Is Mayor Chen worried that I set up a trap with Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang for Mayor Chen to jump into?"
Chen Xing was stunned. There was no doubt that Lin Hong's words had pointed out what he was most worried about. He took back the recording pen. Chen Xing had nothing to worry about. His anger gradually subsided in the first few minutes after he left the hotel. After thinking calmly, his only concern was whether Lin Hong, Zheng Guangfu, Zhang Qingyang, and Li Haocheng had made up and directed a good show to deal with him. If that was the case, then Lin Hong had played the role of an accomplice. This was what Chen Xing was most afraid of.
Chen Xing didn't want to suffer a big setback as soon as he came to Nanzhou. He hadn't removed the surname on his head, and Li Haocheng was still eyeing his position as mayor. Although Li Haocheng was just wishful thinking, who knew if Li Haocheng would be unwilling to give up and create some trouble for him. If he was set up, even if he could smoothly remove the surname on his head with his background, his prestige as mayor would be greatly damaged.
Hearing that Chen Xing was still silent, Lin Hong continued, "Mayor Chen, you can rest assured. What happened at noon has absolutely nothing to do with Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang. In fact, Mayor Chen, you should think about it from another perspective. If they are not forced into a dead end, do they have the guts to set you up? It's entirely because I want to set up Zheng Guangfu, so I asked you to cooperate with Mayor Chen. Mayor Chen, you don't have to worry that we are working together to harm you.
Does Miss Lin think that her words are persuasive? Chen Xing threw the words to Lin Hong. "Anyway, this is the truth.
No matter what, this is the truth. It's not easy for me to make a living as a woman, and I was forced to come up with some means to protect myself. I hope Mayor Chen can understand. Now that I've been discovered by Mayor Chen, I promise there won't be a next time. However, I still sincerely hope to cooperate with Mayor Chen. Mayor Chen, you don't have to worry that I'll harm you. I'm treating Mayor Chen as my new backer, and I wouldn't dare to plot against you. Lin Hong's voice was low.
Hearing the breathing sound from the microphone, Lin Hong knew that Chen Xing had been listening to her, but he didn't say anything. Lin Hong didn't know how much Chen Xing believed her words, but this sad card was the best card she could play. She played the role of the weak in front of Chen Xing in order to win a certain degree of sympathy and understanding. Of course, she was not naive enough to think that Chen Xing could completely believe her words. She only hoped that she could temporarily relieve Chen Xing's anger. If she put herself in his shoes, it would be impossible for her to have no grudges in her heart at all. Therefore, she didn't naively think that Chen Xing would believe her words. As long as she could relieve Chen Xing's anger, she would have achieved half of her goal. In the future, the relationship between them could be gradually mended, and she could also use practical actions in the future to make Chen Xing gradually trust her.
I can pretend that what happened today never happened, but if something similar happens again in the future, you should think about the consequences yourself. Chen Xing said gloomily. Lin Hong was a cruel and ambitious woman, so Chen Xing had to give her a proper warning. However, at the same time, Chen Xing also sounded the alarm in his heart. He had to be very careful when dealing with women like Lin Hong in the future. Although what Lin Hong said just now was very emotional, Chen Xing didn't completely believe it. On the contrary, from Lin Hong's behavior today, Chen Xing saw that Lin Hong was a two-faced person. Such a person couldn't be really trusted at all.
I promise there won't be a next time. Lin Hong wanted to swear to Chen Xing to win his trust. She asked eagerly, "What do you think about what we talked about at noon, Mayor Chen?
It depends on whether the evidence you take out is sincere. If you are sincere, I don't mind doing business with you. " Chen Xing didn't completely refuse Lin Hong. He was actually quite interested in it. He wanted to deal with Zhang Qingyang, but he couldn't get anything on him for the time being. If Lin Hong could provide evidence, Chen Xing would be happy to accept it. However, he couldn't really believe Lin Hong's words. He could only wait for the other party to take out the evidence, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
If I take out the evidence, Mayor Chen, what if you go back on your word? Lin Hong asked back.
If Miss Lin is worried, you can not do business with me. Anyway, I don't care. Chen Xing smiled indifferently. If Miss Lin has nothing else to say, let's leave it at that.
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly. At this time, there was a smug smile on Chen Xing's face. He deliberately showed such an indifferent attitude in front of Lin Hong. It was Lin Hong who was anxious, and Chen Xing could take the initiative.
After the phone call with Lin Hong, it was nearly half past one. Putting Lin Hong's matter aside for the time being, Chen Xing's eyes fell on the cancer statistics sent by the Nangang District Health Bureau again. The heavy information fell on Chen Xing, which was also a responsibility that he couldn't escape and shirk.
After a while, the secretary Deng Qingming came in and said that Zhang Xinjun was here. Chen Xing was surprised. Then he asked Deng Qingming to invite Zhang Xinjun in and raised his hand to ask Zhang Xinjun to sit down. Chen Xing also came out from behind his desk. It was a good thing that Zhang Xinjun took the initiative to come to his office. A few days ago, at the Municipal Government executive meeting, Zhang Xinjun and Li Haocheng were divided, and the two of them went against each other, which also greatly affected Li Haocheng's arrogance in the Municipal Government. However, these days, Zhang Xinjun hadn't taken the initiative to come to his office. Today, Zhang Xinjun's visit was a good sign. If this reached Li Haocheng's ears, Li Haocheng would be angry again.
The two sat down on the sofa. Zhang Xinjun glanced at Chen Xing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mayor Chen, the people of the procuratorate are investigating the violation of the inspection by the Industrial and Commercial Tax Bureau. They said that it was Mayor Chen's instruction?
Yes, there is such a thing. " Chen Xing nodded without batting an eyelid. He had guessed that Zhang Xinjun would not come to the temple for no reason. Sure enough, there was something.
Mayor Chen, I feel that although the law enforcement officers of the Industrial and Commercial Tax Bureau have violated the law, it seems that there is no need for the procuratorial organ to intervene in the investigation. Let the Industrial and Commercial Tax Bureau and the Tax Bureau investigate and punish them on their own. As long as they learn from their mistakes, they will not make the same mistake again. The involvement of the procuratorial organ will make people panic. Isn't it a bit inappropriate? Zhang Xinjun said to Chen Xing. In fact, he wanted to say that Chen Xing was making a big fuss over a small matter, but in the end, he did not dare to say it out loud. Zhang Xinjun also faintly guessed that Chen Xing had a certain purpose in doing this. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey, and also to build up his prestige.
The law must be abided by, and the law must be punished. If the law enforcement officers themselves were not upright, how could they make the people believe in them? Chen Xing shook his head disapprovingly. He had specially called Cheng Rong Jiang, the head of the procuratorial organ, over to explain this matter, so it was impossible for him to give up halfway. From the current situation, Cheng Rong Jiang was quite tactful. At least, he did not pretend to obey him.
Mayor Chen, some of the law enforcement officers were also deceived for a while. We should focus on treating the sick and saving people. The procuratorial organ's involvement in the investigation will only make people's hearts waver, and affect the development of the work. Zhang Xinjun frowned. At the Municipal Government's executive meeting two days ago, the Industrial and Commercial Tax Bureau and the Tax Bureau, which were originally in charge of Tong Zhengkai, were transferred to him. Now, the people in charge of the Industrial and Commercial Tax Bureau and the Tax Bureau came to him to complain. Zhang Xinjun could only bite the bullet and come to Chen Xing.
Although treating the sick and saving people is important, our party's discipline and national law are also not child's play. If some of the law enforcement officers do not have a big problem, of course, we will focus on treating the sick and saving people. But if they violate the law, they must be punished according to the law. As leaders, we should uphold the authority of the law. Chen Xing said with a straight face.
"Keep pretending." Zhang Xinjun cursed Chen Xing in his heart. He used the words "sanctimonious" and "hypocrite" to describe Chen Xing. In his opinion, Chen Xing's righteous words were nothing more than a pretense. The authority of the law was nothing in the eyes of officials like them. However, Zhang Xinjun could not refute Chen Xing's words. Even if he thought that Chen Xing was using the so-called authority of the law to attack the dissidents, he had to keep his words in his heart. Now that he had something on Chen Xing, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only bow his head in front of Chen Xing.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Xinjun said reluctantly, "Mayor Chen, I have just taken over the work of the Industry, Commerce and Taxation Department. Do you think you can give me some time to reorganize these two departments and ask the inspection agency not to get involved in the investigation?"
Zhang Xinjun did not realize that he had unconsciously used an honorific to address Chen Xing. However, the fact was that after the executive meeting two days ago, Chen Xing's prestige was rising. This change was subtly influencing the people of the Municipal Government. Zhang Xinjun was also humiliated by Chen Xing's means. Now he was not tolerated by Li Haocheng, and because the two departments of Industry, Commerce and Taxation, which were originally under Tong Zhengkai's charge, were also transferred to him by Chen Xing. Tong Zhengkai also hated him very much. While Chen Xing was trying to win him over, he also made him an enemy, which made him have no choice but to be honest. In addition, Chen Xing had something on him, so Zhang Xinjun had no choice but to stand on Chen Xing's side.
"Comrade Xinjun, I agree with you to reorganize these two departments, but the investigation of the procuratorial agency should not be stopped. We can't let some vermin who have broken the law continue to stay in our team. This will damage the image of our Party and government, and will also cause immeasurable harm to the cause of socialism." "Chen Xing is still accusing me.
Well, since Mayor Chen insists on doing this, I can only respect Mayor Chen's decision. " Zhang Xinjun was very angry in his heart. He realized that Chen Xing was still using a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. He needed to rope him in, and at the same time, he wanted to restrict him. Take this time, Chen Xing asked the procuratorial agency to investigate the two departments of industry, commerce and taxation. As a deputy mayor who had just taken over the two departments, he could not say anything, nor could he intervene. Then, the people below him would undoubtedly doubt his ability and prestige as a deputy mayor. Chen Xing did not want him to really control these two departments at all.
Chen Xing's approach made Zhang Xinjun very angry, but he could only bear it in his heart. He did not intend to continue to sit in Chen Xing's office, so he got up and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard Chen Xing say, "Comrade Xinjun, is Zhou Yan still in the detention center?"
"It seems … it seems so." Zhang Xinjun was stunned by the question, and his mouth was a little stiff. Zhou Yan's matter was undoubtedly the last thing he wanted to mention. If it were not for Zhou Yan, he would not be so passive now.
"It seems that Comrade Xinjun is not very concerned about this matter." Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Xinjun with a faint smile. "Comrade Xinjun, you should quickly correct some mistakes before they are too serious."
"Well, what Mayor Chen said is very right. Mistakes should be corrected." Zhang Xinjun responded to Chen Xing unnaturally. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
