Mayor, I won't let you down. In Chen Xing's office, Lu Ming solemnly declared to Chen Xing. At this moment, although he tried his best to look calm, there was an unconcealable excitement in the depths of his eyes. Yesterday, Guan Jinhui had asked him to lead the investigation team of the Provincial Department to assist them in investigating Zheng Guangfu's case. Today, there was another piece of good news related to him. Because Zhang Qingyang and others were taken away by the Provincial Department for Discipline Inspection, the Provincial Department made an urgent decision to appoint him as the Deputy Director of the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau. He would cooperate with Deputy Director Jiang Jiansheng to stabilize the work of the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau during this period of time and tide over this critical and difficult period. When Lu Ming first heard such an unexpected surprise, he almost jumped with joy.
The Provincial Department's decision did not meet any resistance in Nanzhou City. Chen Xing strongly expressed his support for the Provincial Department's decision, and Ge Jian-ming also had no objection after receiving the notice. At this time, Ge Jian-ming was actually still puzzled about Zhang Qingyang and Huang Shenghui. Ge Jian-ming did not object to the Provincial Department's decision. His chess pieces were also taken away by the Provincial Department for Discipline Inspection, which caught him unprepared. Moreover, he had no one available for the time being. Moreover, it was reasonable for the Provincial Department to inquire about the personnel appointment of the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau, so Ge Jian-ming could not find any reason to object.
This matter is not entirely due to my function. In the end, it is also due to your good luck. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand at Lu Ming. He was in a good mood now. Zheng Guangfu's case had only happened two days ago, but unexpected things had happened one after another. For example, Zheng Guangfu's accidental death by poisoning, and Zhang Qingyang and Huang Shenghui being taken away by the Provincial Department for Discipline Inspection without warning were all unexpected things. Chen Xing was also not clear about what happened last night, but it seemed to be beneficial to him. The unexpected intervention of the Provincial Department for Discipline Inspection really surprised and delighted Chen Xing.
If it weren't for you, Mayor Chen, in front of Director Guan, this kind of good thing would not have fallen into the hands of a newly transferred cadre. Lu Ming laughed. No matter how arrogant he was, he would not think that his ability had won the approval and favor of his superior. Not to mention that he had not been in Nanzhou for long, even if he had been here for a long time and had outstanding performance in his work, without any background or connections, the lucrative position of Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau would never fall into his hands. Although he was transferred from the position of Deputy Chief of the Criminal Police Corps of the Provincial Department to the Deputy Director of the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau was just a transfer, the latter was undoubtedly more promising than the former.
I didn't get the slightest hint of what happened last night, so today, the Provincial Department's decision to let you be the Deputy Director of the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau was also a surprise to me. Speaking of which, I also didn't know about it beforehand. Chen Xing smiled. The Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau was actually appointed by the Municipal Government. The decision of the Provincial Department was not the final appointment document, but a recommendation made by the Provincial Department to Nanzhou City, and then the Nanzhou Municipal Government would appoint. Of course, it was not impossible for the two sides to disagree on the issue of the candidate, but because the matter of Zhang Qingyang, Huang Shenghui, and the others happened particularly suddenly, the city was suddenly in chaos. Chen Xing's advantage as the acting mayor was displayed at this time.
Special cases should be treated differently. This was what Chen Xing had said at the meeting. Chen Xing had called an emergency meeting of the municipal government. As for Li Haocheng and Shao Huadong, who did not attend, because they could not rush back and the situation was special, Chen Xing had said at the meeting that the most urgent task was to stabilize the work of the municipal bureau. In the end, everyone at the meeting unanimously agreed to the candidate recommended by the provincial hall. The absence of the two most important deputy mayors of the Standing Committee was not noticed by anyone. Shao Huadong was still fine. Li Haocheng, who was far away in America, was hopping mad. However, Li Haocheng could not say anything. Even if he was in Nanzhou, Lu Ming was the candidate recommended by the provincial hall. Li Haocheng could not object.
As for the Municipal Party Committee, Chen Xing only talked with Ge Jian-ming about this after the meeting. Chen Xing also wanted to send a message to Ge Jian-ming. This was an established fact, and Chen Xing was sure that Ge Jian-ming would not oppose it at this time. Of course, Chen Xing also secretly sent a signal to Ge Jian-ming that he, as the mayor, could make decisions in the government affairs.
Lu Ming, who's taking over Zheng Guangfu's case from the Provincial Department? Chen Xing suddenly asked.
Captain Hou was in charge now. Lu Ming answered. The Captain Hou he mentioned was also his direct superior, Hou Jianqiang, the general captain of the Criminal Police Corps of the Provincial Department. However, he had been transferred to the Municipal Bureau of Nanzhou, so Hou Jianqiang could be said to be his former superior. Captain Hou was in charge of this case, which was much higher than when I was in charge of it. It could be seen that the Provincial Department attached great importance to Zheng Guangfu's case.
Well, it's good that Deputy Governor Guan attached great importance to it. This time, the Ministry, the provincial and municipal public security departments worked together to see if they could dig out Zheng Guangfu's background and the umbrella behind him. Chen Xing smiled. He was very grateful to Guan Jinhui. The Provincial Department proposed a candidate, and the Municipal Government held a meeting to approve it. This was undoubtedly the best way to let Lu Ming take over the position. In this way, it also reduced the pressure on him. If he proposed to let Lu Ming take over as the Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau, he was afraid that he would encounter a lot of resistance. Previously, he didn't mention the transfer of Lu Ming to Guan Jinhui, but Guan Jinhui obviously gave him a big gift.
The two chatted in the office for a while. Chen Xing checked the time and smiled. "Lu Ming, you go ahead. Now you have a heavy task on your shoulders. Don't waste your time here. Hurry back to work. Who poisoned Zheng Guangfu is still a big mystery. You have to investigate it as soon as possible. As for the division of labor between you and the investigation team of the Ministry and the Provincial Department, it's up to you. You don't need to report to me."
"Okay, Mayor Chen, then I'll leave first." Lu Ming nodded.
Chen Xing watched Lu Ming leave. He stayed in the office for a while before leaving. This afternoon, Zhang Ningning would bring the staff of the charity foundation she founded to Nanzhou to understand the situation of the Cancer Village in Nanzhou City. The foundation wanted to do its best to help the villagers. As the acting mayor, Chen Xing had to go to the airport to receive them.
At Nanzhou Airport, Chen Xing arrived at the airport with a light car. The flight of Zhang Ningning and her foundation landed on time. Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ningning getting off the plane. He was in a good mood and greeted her with a smile.
Mayor Chen personally came to greet them. This standard of treatment is really high. It seems that we are benefiting from Ningning. " A beautiful woman standing next to Zhang Ningning smiled and joked with Zhang Ningning.
"Ah, if it isn't Miss Kong." When Chen Xing walked up, he also heard the woman's joke. When he turned his head, it was the top stylist who did Zhang Ningning's hair when they got married. Chen Xing's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ningning just now. Now that he saw the other party, he was no stranger. He smiled and said, "Miss Kong is also here?
Chen Xing, Yuxuan is one of the shareholders of our foundation. She is busy with many of the foundation's matters. She is much more competent than me, the president. " Zhang Ningning smiled and explained to Chen Xing. It wasn't a coincidence that Kong Yuxuan came with her. She joined the charity foundation she founded. This time, she came to Nanzhou to understand the situation of the Cancer Village. Kong Yuxuan also came. She was now the vice president of the foundation.
"Oh, so it's like this." Chen Xing looked at Kong Yuxuan in surprise. "I remember that Miss Kong runs a large-scale styling club. Can Miss Kong manage it? Even if she can't manage it, she still has to.
Even if I can't handle it, I still have to. Besides, there's no end to money. I'd rather earn less money than spend more time doing charity. Money is a lifetime thing. I can't bring it with me when I'm alive, and I can't bring it with me when I'm dead. However, doing charity is a good deed that benefits future generations. I'm also a person who covets a bit of fame. I hope to make a good name for myself that will be immortalized for generations to come. After I die, if my descendants still remember how many people I've helped, then I'll be happy even in heaven. Kong Yuxuan giggled.
"Yuxuan, until now, I've never seen anyone who would take out all their assets to do charity. If you're just greedy for an undeserved reputation, then other so-called philanthropists should be ashamed. In the future, when our country evaluates Chinese philanthropists, you're worthy of this title. I'll definitely register for you next year."
Zhang Ningning smiled and shook her head. She and Kong Yuxuan contacted each other frequently after Chen Xing held a fundraising party for the Student Aid Project Foundation when he was still in the Ministry. At that time, Kong Yuxuan and two other friends also donated a lot of money. Later, when he learned that she had set up a charity foundation, Kong Yuxuan also actively asked to join and invested 30 million yuan into the foundation. Later, he invested more than 20 million yuan. Zhang Ningning also accidentally learned that Kong Yuxuan mortgaged several properties under his name to raise more than 20 million yuan. After that, Zhang Ningning was undoubtedly moved. Kong Yuxuan's enthusiasm for charity also made Zhang Ningning regard him as a confidant.
"Ningning, please don't say that. Compared with those who easily do charity with hundreds of millions of yuan, what I've done is nothing at all. Bill Gates also invested all his assets in charity. Only people like him can deserve the title of philanthropist." Kong Yuxuan waved his hand again and again, showing that he didn't deserve the title.
Bill Gates's contribution to charity in the world can't be ignored, but don't forget that what he did was also suspected of evading inheritance tax. When it comes to charity, you are not inferior to him at all. Zhang Ningning spoke highly of Kong Yuxuan.
In fact, as long as one is sincere in doing charity without other motives, no matter how big or small the contribution is, he is equally worthy of admiration. Chen Xing interrupted with a smile. "But I don't think it's the time to discuss this. Let's get on the bus first. Don't stand here. Others will think that we are doing something."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, everyone got on the bus with a smile. Before Chen Xing came here, he temporarily borrowed a bus from the government office. The people brought by Zhang Ningning got on the bus, but it was still very empty. So Chen Xing simply got on the bus with everyone.
Should we go to the hotel first or go directly to Nangang District? Chen Xing looked at the time. It was only two o 'clock. There was plenty of time for the schedule in the afternoon.
Let's go directly to Nangang District. Zhang Ningning said. She was also a villager from the Cancer Village.
That's good too. Chen Xing nodded with a smile. I believe the villagers will be very happy when they know why you are here.
I have also checked the situation of the Cancer Village in Nangang District. The situation is more serious than I thought. I don't know how much I can help the villagers, but I hope I can do my best to help them. Zhang Ningning's face was full of worry. She had always been a sensitive person. After understanding some of the situation, she was deeply worried about the fate of the villagers.
The proportion of villagers who had cancer was very high. One of the villages that was directly connected to the petrochemical industry area was especially serious. Almost every household had cancer patients. Some of them didn't because their entire family had been working in other places for a long time. That was why they were lucky enough to avoid such a 'disaster'. Speaking of this situation, as the mayor, I really felt ashamed. Chen Xing said with a bitter smile.
Mayor Chen, you don't have to take responsibility. You haven't been transferred to Nanzhou City for long. The formation of this Cancer Village didn't happen overnight. It must have been caused by pollution for a long time. It has nothing to do with you, Mayor Chen. Kong Yuxuan, who was sitting side by side with Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning, said.
Even if it has nothing to do with me, since I have been transferred here as the mayor, I have to take responsibility. How can I sit back and do nothing about the situation of the villagers? Chen Xing's face was full of melancholy. Rome wasn't built in a day. This is a problem that has been piling up for a long time. It is difficult to solve it in a short period of time.
When the country prospers, the people suffer. When the country perishes, the people suffer. The people of our country seem to have never really enjoyed the treatment of the masters of this country. Kong Yuxuan looked at Chen Xing meaningfully. The people are the masters of this country. But in reality, it seems that the bureaucrats are above them. Mayor Chen, what do you think of this problem?
Miss Kong said this in front of me. Isn't she afraid that I will think that Miss Kong is trying to make things difficult for me? Chen Xing said half-jokingly. As the mayor, it was hard for him to answer this question.
I believe that with Mayor Chen's breadth of mind, he won't think that way. Moreover, I'm not belittling the government. I still have great confidence in most of the officials in the government. It's just that a small group of people has ruined the reputation of the majority. It's just like a rat's poop spoiling a pot of porridge. Many of the officials in the government are sincere in doing things for the people. Mayor Chen, you are one of them. Kong Yuxuan said with a smile.
I didn't know whether Miss Kong was praising me or cursing me. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
Let's talk about something serious. Let's not talk about it anymore. We should think about how to help the villagers. Zhang Ningning smiled and interrupted their conversation. She and Chen Xing's social status meant that they were on the side of the vested interests. When discussing this topic, even if they stood on the side of the people, they would still feel a little embarrassed.
Hearing Zhang Ningning's words, Kong Yuxuan didn't continue this topic. Chen Xing introduced the situation of Big Head Village to them and also told them about the measures the city was taking. During the one-hour journey, Chen Xing, Zhang Ningning, and Kong Yuxuan talked a lot. When they arrived at Big Head Village, Zhang Ningning, Kong Yuxuan, and the others frowned when they got off the bus. Kong Yuxuan said, "People say that the air in the capital is bad. I think the air here can't be described with the word 'bad'. It should be said that it stinks. Living in such an environment, people must have suffered a lot.
Look, there's smoke coming out of the factory not far from here. Kong Yuxuan said, pointing to the distance.
That's the petrochemical industry area. Chen Xing frowned slightly. He didn't want to show his anger in front of his wife and outsiders, but the problem of the petrochemical industry area was beyond his tolerance as the mayor. This time, he successfully helped Lu Ming get promoted in the Public Security Bureau. Chen Xing's influence on the Public Security Bureau was growing day by day. As long as the enterprises in the petrochemical industry area dared to show their resistance, Chen Xing didn't mind showing a tougher attitude.
Chen Xing, what are you looking at? Seeing Chen Xing's strange expression, Zhang Ningning asked in a low voice.
Nothing. Let's go in. Chen Xing pointed to the village road that was connected to the provincial road.
When they walked into the village, some sharp-eyed villagers saw Chen Xing at once. Immediately, the news spread in the village. Some villagers had already surrounded Chen Xing, shouting, "Mayor Chen is here, Mayor Chen is here."
The villagers were very enthusiastic, and their attitude towards Chen Xing had improved a lot. Chen Xing's work these days was not in vain. He arranged free physical examinations for the villagers, and promised the villagers that the city would try its best to solve the villagers' worries about the treatment. Some hospitalized patients had already received benefits. This news spread to the village, and formed the reputation of Chen Xing as the mayor. Now, the villagers were undoubtedly much more convinced of Mayor Chen Xing's words, and their attitude towards him had changed obviously.
The villagers were very friendly, and Chen Xing did not put on the airs of a mayor. Instead, he chatted with the villagers about their daily lives, treating them as if they were on the same level.
