The Blue Clubhouse was a high-end clubhouse located in the downtown area.
Lin Hong sat in a VIP box on the fifth floor of the clubhouse. There was no one else in the box except Lin Hong. Lin Hong looked at the time from time to time. After sitting for a while, Lin Hong couldn't sit still anymore. He walked to the window and looked down, watching the cars coming and going.
When the phone in his hand rang, Lin Hong looked happy. He stared downstairs without blinking and quickly answered the phone. Mayor Chen, you are here?
Well, I am here. Which box are you in? Chen Xing, who had just arrived at the Blue Clubhouse, was still in the car.
Mayor Chen, please wait for a moment. I will go down to pick you up. Lin Hong put down the phone with a happy face and walked out.
After two or three minutes, Lin Hong arrived at the parking lot. Seeing Chen Xing get out of the car, Lin Hong smiled brightly. I am so happy that Mayor Chen can come.
Chen Xing nodded and looked at Lin Hong calmly. He was also looking forward to it. Today, Lin Hong asked him to come again. Chen Xing thought that Lin Hong had made up his mind.
Mayor Chen, this way. Seeing that Chen Xing was going to walk to the main entrance of the clubhouse, Lin Hong stepped forward quickly and pointed in another direction.
Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong in confusion. Without saying anything, he followed Lin Hong's footsteps. Lin Hong explained with a smile as he walked. There are too many people entering from the main entrance. I am afraid that some people might recognize Mayor Chen. There is another door at the back. Usually, people don't go there. It is better to go to the back.
Chen Xing smiled. Lin Hong didn't want others to see him, and Chen Xing was happy.
They went to the fifth floor of the clubhouse. Lin Hong invited Chen Xing into the box where he was just now. He smiled and invited Chen Xing to sit down. Lin Hong poured a glass of water for Chen Xing. He glanced at Chen Xing and said with a smile, "What does Mayor Chen think of my clubhouse?
Oh, this clubhouse is Miss Lin's property? Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong in surprise. Although he had only seen it briefly, he could see that it was decorated luxuriously.
Yes, this clubhouse is my property. Together with the restaurant by the sea, these two places are my only physical properties. Lin Hong nodded with a smile. It's funny that I have invested the most energy and effort into this clubhouse. I have invested no less than 100 million yuan. Basically, I have invested all my money in it. On the contrary, I have invested less than 10 million yuan in the restaurant by the sea. I had hoped that this clubhouse could make a lot of money, but it turns out that the annual profit is not as good as that restaurant by the sea.
I think Miss Lin's clubhouse should take the high-end route, right? Chen Xing said with a smile.
It can only be said to take the high-end route, aiming at the high-income groups and the rich in Nanzhou City. Lin Hong shook his head helplessly. At the beginning, the positioning of the customer group was not accurate, which led to the unsuccessful operation of the clubhouse. Now it can barely maintain a balance of payments. It is impossible to make money.
I believe that with Miss Lin's ability, this clubhouse will let Miss Lin work sooner or later. Chen Xing said indifferently.
I hope I can borrow Mayor Chen's auspicious words. Lin Hong shrugged with a smile. In fact, it doesn't matter to her now whether this clubhouse can make money or not. Now the clubhouse has become a tool for her to integrate human resources. This can be regarded as a loss on the swings but a gain on the mulberry.
A few words of gossip between the two undoubtedly made the atmosphere a lot more relaxed. What Chen Xing saw was Lin Hong's frankness. Lin Hong chatted with him about the clubhouse and did not hide anything from him that this clubhouse was her property. Chen Xing could feel that Lin Hong's move was to release a signal of goodwill and sincerity to him. The last unpleasant encounter and the sense of distrust caused by Lin Hong, Lin Hong obviously wanted to make up for it when they met today.
Mayor Chen, I sincerely apologize to you today for what happened last time. I was wrong. Lin Hong's smiling face suddenly became serious, and she apologized to Chen Xing seriously.
Don't mention the past anymore. What I care about is the present and the future. As I said, I hope Miss Lin can show enough sincerity and don't play any unpleasant tricks. Chen Xing glanced at Lin Hong.
"Of course not. If Mayor Chen is worried that this is my place, do you want to search the room carefully? Of course, I'll let you search my bag as you wish, Mayor Chen. Lin Hong said with a charming face. "Last time, Mayor Chen, you searched my body several times. What do you think? Mayor Chen is satisfied with my figure, right? If Mayor Chen is worried that I will put the recording pen on my body again, I am here, and I will also let Mayor Chen search me at will. If you need me to take off my clothes, I will cooperate. Please rest assured, Mayor Chen. "
"Miss Lin, if you are not here to talk business with me, then I will leave now." Chen Xing looked indifferent. He was not moved by Lin Hong's flirtation at all.
"Okay, okay, Mayor Chen, don't be angry. Let's talk business." Lin Hong coquettishly rolled her eyes at Chen Xing, secretly scolding him for being insensitive. She was slightly discouraged. Her figure and appearance had always been her pride. Even Zhang Qingyang would inadvertently reveal a trace of desire when he saw her. If she was not Li Haocheng's woman, Zhang Qingyang would have restrained himself and behaved in a proper manner. She might have been done by Zhang Qingyang a long time ago. As for Zheng Guangfu, there was not much to say. Lin Hong had teased him several times, and Zheng Guangfu could not hold himself back. The two of them had almost come to blows. Zheng Guangfu, on the other hand, was much bolder than Zhang Qingyang. At least he dared to take advantage of her.
"My time is limited. If Miss Lin doesn't show enough sincerity this time, I may not have time next time." Chen Xing glanced at Lin Hong. His words were not without threat. He hoped that Lin Hong would show him something real.
"Okay, then I won't say any more nonsense." Lin Hong became serious. He took out a CD and a recording pen from his bag and put them on the table in front of Chen Xing. "Mayor Chen, this is my sincerity first. You can take these two things back and see if I am sincere this time."
"Really?" Chen Xing's eyes fell on the box with the CD and the recording pen, but he didn't show any eagerness.
"Mayor Chen, I asked you to come again this time because I sincerely want to cooperate with you, Mayor Chen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken out these two things." Lin Hong looked at Chen Xing seriously. "I can tell you, Mayor Chen, that these two things are some dirty deals between Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu in private. Mayor Chen, don't think that it's easy for me to get these things because I have a close relationship with Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu. To be honest, I also took a big risk to get these things."
"I believe you." Chen Xing nodded. This time, he didn't doubt Lin Hong's words. It might be easy to record, but it would be difficult to get the surveillance video. Only Lin Hong was familiar with Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu, and the two of them didn't guard against her, could Lin Hong do it. But even so, there were some risks.
"Okay, Mayor Chen, it's good that you believe me. I only hope that in future cooperation, Mayor Chen can also show sincerity. My request is what I mentioned before. After Zheng Guangfu falls, I want the entertainment city under his name." Lin Hong stared at Chen Xing and said.
"Miss Lin is sincere, so will I. As long as there are no accidents along the way." There was a hidden meaning in Chen Xing's words. He left a way out for himself in advance.
"What does Mayor Chen mean?" Lin Hong looked at Chen Xing doubtfully and frowned slightly.
"Nothing." Chen Xing looked at Lin Hong and said. "Miss Lin, did you do that thing about Lu Chenglong?"
"I don't understand Mayor Chen's words. What does it have to do with me that Lu Chenglong was attacked by unknown people?" A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lin Hong's face, but he soon returned to normal.
"Well, if Miss Lin doesn't want to admit it, I can't do anything about it. But if Miss Lin is investigated in the future, don't come to me for help." Chen Xing smiled and said.
"Of course, I didn't do it. I'm not worried at all." Lin Hong smiled and nodded. He couldn't figure out what Chen Xing meant. Lin Hong was vigilant and absolutely refused to admit it.
"I'll take these two things." Chen Xing reached out and grabbed the disc and the recording pen from the table. There was some expectation on his face. He hoped that this would be a breakthrough.
"Of course, Mayor Chen can take them away. But now it's my turn to say what Mayor Chen said before. If Mayor Chen doesn't show enough sincerity, I won't take out the remaining evidence in my hands. The latter evidence is more important." Lin Hong smiled and looked at Chen Xing. She wasn't afraid to tell Chen Xing that she had more important evidence in her hands.
They looked at each other for a while. Chen Xing looked away first. He had thought about Lin Hong's request, but he thought it was unrealistic. He just didn't want to say it directly to Lin Hong. He still needed the things in Lin Hong's hands.
Coming out of the club, Chen Xing took the disc and the recording pen in his hand. He didn't listen to them in the car. When he returned to the office, he played the recording pen. It was a conversation between Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang. The content of the conversation was that a very important person under Zheng Guangfu was involved in a murder case, and Zheng Guangfu asked Zhang Qingyang to settle it. The recording was very short, and it ended after this point. The result of the conversation couldn't be heard. From the sound quality, which was not particularly clear, it could be vaguely heard that this part of the recording pen should be a second recording. Obviously, Lin Hong had deleted the key content.
Frowning and thinking, Chen Xing considered Lin Hong's request. Lin Hong showed a little sincerity this time, but the other party was obviously not stupid. He kept the key evidence in his hands. It could be said that he showed sincerity, but it could also be said that he was fishing for Chen Xing's appetite.
The knock on the door interrupted Chen Xing's thoughts. Chen Xing called in, and Huang Jianghua, who had replaced Deng Qingming as his new secretary, came in. Mayor Chen, Director Zeng of the Environmental Protection Bureau is looking for you.
Well, let him in. Chen Xing nodded.
Soon, Zeng Ping came in. Chen Xing came out from behind the desk, raised his hand, and motioned for Zeng Ping to sit down. Chen Xing also sat down on the sofa.
Turning to look at Zeng Ping, Chen Xing knew that Zeng Ping would not come if there was nothing important. He also waited for the other party to speak.
Mayor Chen, just now the people from our bureau came back from the Petrochemical Industry District. Our people reported that Dongcheng Chemical did not stop production for rectification. They are still carrying out normal production today. In the morning, our people from the bureau went to supervise, but we did not expect that the people from Dongcheng Chemical did not buy it. Zeng Ping reported to Chen Xing.
The Environmental Protection Bureau has the power to enforce the law. Didn't you force them to stop production for rectification? Chen Xing frowned.
Yes, the people from our bureau wanted them to stop production on the spot, but they were chased out by their company's security guards. They even wanted to organize their workers to fight against the law enforcement officers from our bureau. The people from our bureau were afraid that the situation would escalate, so they had no choice but to retreat. Zeng Ping shook his head with a bitter smile. He was also a little surprised by this result.
During this period, did the people from the Petrochemical Industry District Management Committee not show up? Chen Xing's face was already a little ugly.
No, the people from the Petrochemical Industry District Management Committee did not show up. It was as if they had disappeared, and they did not care about this matter. Zeng Ping told the truth. He did not want to deliberately make trouble for the leaders of the Petrochemical Industry District Management Committee, but this was the truth. In fact, Zeng Ping could understand that the leaders of the industrial district made such a choice to protect the interests of the enterprises. The interests of the officials were at play, and there was probably the connivance and acquiescence of the Nangang District Government. As for whether there were some higher-level people behind the scenes, it was not something that Zeng Ping dared to guess.
Some people really don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. Chen Xing sneered. Hearing Zeng Ping's answer, he did not need to think to know that the people from the Petrochemical Industry District Management Committee must have played a role in adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, Dongcheng Chemical would not have dared to so blatantly ignore the Environmental Protection Bureau.
Many enterprises in the Petrochemical Industry District are big tax earners in our city. It is understandable that the leaders of the Petrochemical Industry District Management Committee have some utilitarian mentality. Zeng Ping said something objective and fair.
No matter what kind of mentality you have, you can't treat ordinary people as human beings. Chen Xing shouted angrily. His anger was not pretended. He was really angry at the inaction and connivance of the Petrochemical Industry District Management Committee and the Nangang District Government. In particular, yesterday afternoon, he had ordered Dongcheng Chemical to stop discharging pollutants and suspend business for rectification. Today, this company was in normal production, and the sewage was still discharged. This was a slap in the face to him, the acting mayor.
In the face of Chen Xing's anger, Zeng Ping was almost shocked. He quietly glanced at Chen Xing. Zeng Ping was secretly speechless, and his view of Chen Xing changed a little. Chen Xing was not putting on a show, but he was angry from the bottom of his heart. This was completely different from what Zeng Ping had guessed. Zeng Ping originally thought that Chen Xing ordered Dongcheng Chemical to suspend business for rectification yesterday was just a show in front of ordinary people. Now it seemed that this was not the whole case. Chen Xing's anger might be because some of his subordinates did not take his instructions seriously, but part of it was for the sake of ordinary people.
Director Zeng, this kind of arrogance of enterprises should not be encouraged. Today, Dongcheng Chemical did not take the government's decree seriously. Tomorrow, it is very likely that all the enterprises in the petrochemical industry district will do the same. If we can't restrain Dongcheng Chemical's behavior now, it will be even more difficult to manage other enterprises in the future. If there is a first to eat crabs, others will follow. If we don't show our courage this time, we will only look cowardly. Chen Xing's face darkened. The most important point was that the pollution caused to the surrounding environment by the enterprises in the industrial district that did not meet the pollution standards was too appalling. Big Head Village had become a veritable cancer village, but some of our cadres were still numb, indifferent, and indifferent.
Mayor Chen, what do you mean? Zeng Ping's eyelids twitched. Chen Xing wanted to use force.
Since the industrial management committee and Nangang District were not doing anything, then he would use force from the city. Chen Xing's face was cold. Later, I will call the Public Security Bureau and ask them to cooperate with you. The two departments will act together. When you arrive at the petrochemical industry district, you must make Dongcheng Chemical immediately stop production. If the enterprise still dares to have any confrontational behavior, ask the Public Security Bureau to arrest all the instigators. Also, Dongcheng Chemical's behavior must be severely punished. As long as there are laws to abide by, it will be fine.
Mayor Chen was afraid that arresting the person in charge of Dongcheng Chemical would cause some impact. Zeng Ping cautiously mentioned that this morning, the talents in his bureau were driven away by the enterprise. Zeng Ping thought that this must be the intention of the senior management of the enterprise. Ordinary managers did not have the courage to do this, and the senior person in charge of the enterprise dared to do this. He was afraid that the industrial management committee was inextricably linked with the industrial management committee. Zeng Ping knew that the slightest move in one part would affect the whole body.
Even if there was an impact, it would be a good one. Director Zeng, you only need to know that our official position is to be responsible to the people, not to compromise with the behavior that endangers the people. Chen Xing knew what Zeng Ping was worried about. With Zeng Ping's position as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Zeng Ping would undoubtedly be worried when facing the possible pressure.
Okay, I will listen to Mayor Chen's instructions. Zeng Ping nodded. He had made up his mind to rely on Chen Xing. At this time, he must not show his timid side, and could only do as Chen Xing said.
Zeng Ping's attitude slightly comforted Chen Xing. He asked Zeng Ping to hurry back to make arrangements. Chen Xing also called the Municipal Bureau. Zhang Qingyang was currently in charge of the Municipal Bureau, and he was nominated as the director. Chen Xing undoubtedly called Zhang Qingyang. For Chen Xing's instructions, Zhang Qingyang responded quickly, and his speech on the phone was also very beautiful. He promised Chen Xing that he would complete the task.
Hearing Zhang Qingyang's promise, Chen Xing said a few polite words, and the short call between the two ended. Chen Xing could not deny Zhang Qingyang's promise, but he believed that Zhang Qingyang would not make things difficult for him in this matter. After all, this had nothing to do with Zhang Qingyang's interests, and Zhang Qingyang would not compete with him for everything.
After doing all this, Chen Xing sat down again. Zeng Ping had left, and only Chen Xing was in the office. Chen Xing looked at the recording pen and the CD on the desk. The recording pen had been listened to, but the CD had not been watched yet. There was no multimedia equipment in his office, so he could only watch it in the conference room. Chen Xing did not want to make a scene, and he was also afraid of attracting attention. He planned to take the CD home to watch it. Chen Xing was not in a hurry now. From the situation of the recording pen, Chen Xing guessed that the content of the CD might be the same, and it would be cut off at the critical moment. Lin Hong wanted to keep the latter part as a bargaining chip. He had not made any promise yet. Lin Hong probably did not trust him, so it was actually normal for him to do so.
When Chen Xing was thinking about things, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, and Chen Xing was stunned at first, and then he was happy. He could not wait to pick up the phone.
Chen Xing's voice sounded at the same time. Brother Xiao, how come you have time to call me today?
Today in Nanzhou, let's have lunch together. The man surnamed Xiao on the other end of the phone said with a smile.
Okay, Brother Xiao, do you want to book the place, or do you want me to come? Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He was in a good mood after receiving this call. The other party was Xiao Guodong, the son of Zhang Ningning's aunt, Zhang Xiaoru. He was the son of Xiao Dingping, the vice-chairman of the military commission. Before coming to Nanzhou, Zhang Yi had told him that Xiao Guodong was in Nanhai Province, and he had asked Chen Xing to contact him. When Chen Xing came, he had also contacted Xiao Guodong, but Xiao Guodong was not free at that time. Later on, Chen Xing was busy and forgot to call him again. Today, Xiao Guodong took the initiative to call, which surprised Chen Xing.
I will be at Ming Hua Hotel at noon, just come over. Xiao Guodong laughed on the phone.
