The next morning, as soon as Chen Xing arrived at the office, Xiao Yuanqing, the deputy director of the office, walked in. Every morning, Xiao Yuanqing would go to Chen Xing's office to ask about the work arrangements for the day. Today was the same as usual. However, because of the shooting incident yesterday, Xiao Yuanqing suddenly heard a lot of rumors this morning. After asking for instructions from Chen Xing, Xiao Yuanqing wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He wondered if he should tell Chen Xing about the situation.
"Yuanqing, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" Chen Xing saw Xiao Yuanqing's hesitation at a glance and said unhappily, "Don't you know my temperament? In the future, if you have something to say here, just say it. Don't hide it.
Mayor Chen, the main thing is that there is something wrong with this matter. I don't know if I should tell you, Mayor Chen. " Xiao Yuanqing smiled bitterly. How could he not know what kind of character Chen Xing was? However, what he wanted to say was groundless. If he told Chen Xing, he would inevitably be regarded as unreliable. However, if he didn't say it, Xiao Yuanqing would feel that someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. "Just say it.
Yuanqing, you have to understand your responsibility. " Chen Xing stared at Xiao Yuanqing with a serious face. Whether it was Xiao Yuanqing or his secretary Huang Jianghua, they not only played the role of his confidants, but also had a very important task, which was to act as his eyes and ears. It was impossible for Chen Xing to know anything that happened in the city. At this time, the two of them had to shoulder this task. Even though Huang Jianghua was still under his inspection, Chen Xing was still very satisfied with Huang Jianghua, who had a simple background. In his heart, he already regarded Huang Jianghua as one of his own.
"Mayor, it's like this. Didn't you come out of the hotel with Lin Hong yesterday? It's only been one night, but I don't know where these rumors came from. They say that your relationship with Lin Hong is unclear, and that Lin Hong is a bully in Nanzhou City, and that he has a backer in the city. This backer might be you, Mayor Chen … In short, there are all kinds of rumors. I don't know who spread them behind the scenes, but they are all irrelevant things. For example, you are Lin Hong's backer. How long have you been in Nanzhou, and there are actually people spreading such rumors?" Xiao Yuanqing was very angry when he told the truth.
There was such a thing? Chen Xing frowned. Xiao Yuanqing's words really surprised him. When he and Lin Hong came out of the hotel, there was a shooting. This was a very serious and vicious case. He didn't expect that there would be people who didn't care about the case, but focused on the fact that he and Lin Hong were together, and even spread such rumors. With a gloomy expression, Chen Xing said coldly, "Who is spreading such rumors?
When I arrived at the office this morning, I happened to overhear several staff members discussing this matter. I even reprimanded them severely and asked them who had spread the rumor first. They said they didn't know and only heard it from others. I've also learned more about the situation. I suspect that someone is deliberately spreading these unfavorable rumors about you.
Hmph, this kind of extremely childish rumor, will anyone believe it? " Chen Xing sneered coldly.
Mayor Chen. Although not many people would really believe it, as the old saying goes, the mouth of the masses can melt gold, and the accumulation of slander can erode the bones. As more people spread it, it was inevitable that it would be mistaken for the truth. Although some of the rumors were very unreliable, there was still room for imagination, especially in a place like the Mechanic Compound. Many people liked to gossip, one to ten, ten to a hundred, and in the end, no one knew what would happen.
At the end of his words, Xiao Yuanqing's voice became lower. In fact, what he meant was very obvious. Chen Xing and Lin Hong came out of the hotel together. Even if they just had a meal, it would not stop those gossipy people from guessing. The problem was that Chen Xing and Lin Hong shouldn't have any relationship. How did they get together? Even Xiao Yuanqing was puzzled about this. He didn't know that Chen Xing and Lin Hong had a private deal, so Xiao Yuanqing was also very puzzled.
Some people said that Chen Xing and Lin Hong got a room in the hotel, and there were all kinds of other gossips. In addition, this matter was very likely to be instigated behind the scenes. No one knew whether these rumors would become more and more serious. But no matter what, rumors could not be underestimated. If they spread to the common people, they might be smeared even more. In addition, now that social conflicts had intensified, the common people's hatred for the rich and the officials was relatively serious. As the mayor, once Chen Xing's reputation was tarnished, it would not be so easy for him to recover. Although Chen Xing had a powerful background and did not care about those rumors, if he was scolded behind the scenes all day long, no one would be happy.
The reason why Xiao Yuanqing felt that he had to tell Chen Xing was to remind Chen Xing that if it was simply being spread by others, it would not be a big deal. But if someone was instigating behind the scenes, then he had to be vigilant. At the very least, he had to find the enemy hiding behind the scenes. He was not afraid of open knives and spears, but he was afraid of being stabbed in the back.
Yuanqing, since you think that someone is deliberately spreading these rumors behind the scenes, what do you think? Other than the ugly expression on Chen Xing's face at the beginning, he was now very calm.
Mayor, this matter is really hard to say. I … I think that as long as it's not good for you, I'm afraid many people would be happy to see it. As for who would do this kind of thing, it's hard to guess. Xiao Yuanqing also had no way of guessing who would do such a thing. From his personal point of view, Chen Xing had quite a few enemies in Nanzhou City. Whether it was on the surface or in the shadows, there were quite a few people who wanted to see Chen Xing suffer.
Mayor, I might know who is doing it. At this time, Huang Jianghua's voice came in. Huang Jianghua, who had just walked in from the door, heard the conversation between Chen Xing and Xiao Yuanqing. After a little thought, Huang Jianghua knew what the two were discussing.
Little Chen, what did you hear? Chen Xing waved his hand, indicating for Huang Jianghua to sit down.
Mayor, I have a friend who happens to work at the Health Bureau. He said that yesterday afternoon, he heard that you and Miss Lin came out of the hotel together. He said that you and Miss Lin got a room at the hotel. It was said that this came from the mouth of their director, and it quickly spread throughout the Health Bureau. This morning, there were also many people in our Municipal Government talking about it. I reckon that it came from there, and someone must have spread it maliciously. Huang Jianghua said.
Health Bureau? Chen Xing frowned. For a moment, he could not remember who the director of the Health Bureau was. He only knew that the health system was managed by Deputy Mayor Tong Zhengkai. He turned to look at Xiao Yuanqing and asked, "Who is the director of the Health Bureau?
The director of the Health Bureau is Ceng Gaoqiang. " Xiao Yuanqing replied and exchanged a look with Huang Jianghua. Xiao Yuanqing also said, "Mayor, after hearing what Jiang Hua said, I thought of something. Ceng Gaoqiang has a special relationship with Secretary Chen's family. He is the nephew of Secretary Chen's wife. Mayor, you let the Public Security Bureau detain Chen Dafei, but you did not let anyone come to plead for him. Is it because Secretary Chen is dissatisfied?" Ceng Gaoqiang had a special relationship with Secretary Chen's family, so it was not surprising that he spread that kind of rumor. But Jiang Hua did not know whether he did it or someone asked him to do it.
Xiao Yuanqing did not dare to say everything, but he also hinted at Chen Tongjin. This former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was a protective person, especially to Chen Dafei. Xiao Yuanqing had heard a lot about Chen Dafei, who was arrogant and domineering.
It turned out that it had something to do with the Chen family. Chen Xing suddenly understood and then coldly snorted. Just giving Chen Dafei a public security detention was already letting him off easy. The Chen family was not done yet. Did they really think that the Chen family was the king of Nanzhou City, and no one could do anything about it?
Mayor Chen, after all, the Chen family in Nanzhou City was glorious. In the past, when Secretary Chen was still in office, the Chen family was privately known as the number one family in Nanzhou City. The Chen family was tyrannical in Nanzhou City, and no one dared to do anything about it. In the past, there were even rumors of police daring to do anything about it, but in the end, they were dismissed from the public security force. With such a precedent, no one dared to do anything about it. Xiao Yuanqing shook his head. Chen Xing had just arrived, and perhaps he did not understand the Chen family's influence in Nanzhou City. Xiao Yuanqing felt that it was necessary to say something.
Mayor, even if Secretary Chen retired now, there were many cadres in the city who had received his kindness and promotion. Most people still had to give him face. Secretary Chen was very popular in the province, and he still maintained good personal relationships with many leaders in the province, so the Chen family was still very glorious. Secretary Chen retired, but the Chen family was still regarded as an existence that could not be provoked. This time, you let the Public Security Bureau arrest Secretary Chen's precious son. I wonder how Secretary Chen is jumping about. The key is that he has not said anything yet. I think this is the most frightening thing. If you say that he is angry and slaps the table a few times, then nothing will happen. But on Secretary Chen's side, there is no news. This is even more strange.
This kind of family is a parasite of power. Chen Xing said angrily. In the past, no one dared to touch this tiger's ass. This time, I will touch it. Not only this time, but in the future, as long as the Chen family dares to mess around, I will arrest them and deal with them as I see fit. In my place, no one can be above the law.
Xiao Yuanqing and Huang Jianghua could only smile bitterly when they heard Chen Xing's words. They knew Chen Xing's character very well. He dared to do things that others did not dare to do. In the face of power, Chen Xing also dared to challenge.
You guys go and do your work first. Don't care about this kind of gossip. Since we roughly know who is behind this, let them make trouble first. I want to see how long they can jump around. Chen Xing sneered. He did not care about the slander at all. He was upright and upright. He had no relationship with Lin Hong, so Chen Xing was not worried at all.
Mayor, are we just going to let these rumors spread? Xiao Yuanqing said worriedly.
If we can't see it, we can't do anything even if others want to spread it. It is more important to prevent people's mouths than to prevent rivers. This kind of thing can't be controlled. The more we try to control it, the more people will believe it is true. I am afraid that we will fall into someone else's trap. Chen Xing waved his hand. Rumors were not terrible. What was terrible was the person behind the rumors. Since he knew who it was, Chen Xing did not worry much. Since Ceng Gaoqiang dared to spread such rumors first, he would deal with him later. Even if he was a relative of Chen Tongjin, Chen Xing would not be lenient in dealing with him.
After Xiao Yuanqing and Huang Jianghua left, Chen Xing stopped thinking about this matter. He looked at the time. Chen Xing had an appointment with Tan Zheng, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, yesterday. Tan Zheng had already agreed. Chen Xing had to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection at 10 o 'clock. Normally, ordinary cadres were not willing to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. For cadres, the department of the Commission for Discipline Inspection was a fire pit. If they were invited there, they would be finished.
They would not go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for no reason. Originally, Chen Xing would not have any contact with the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. However, this time, he got the evidence of Li Haocheng's violation of laws and regulations from Lin Hong. Chen Xing planned to go to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in person. This was a serious matter, so he could not be careless. Otherwise, Chen Xing would not have directly made an appointment with Tan Zheng.
For a mayor to directly make an appointment with the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, this was actually not in line with the procedures. This was the same as reporting to the higher-ups. However, at this moment, Chen Xing did not care about this. Special cases were special. If Chen Xing did not meet Tan Zheng personally, he would not be at ease. Who knew if the news of Li Haocheng's violation of laws and regulations would be leaked if he went through the normal procedures and handed in the notebook? Moreover, it would not be good for Lin Hong. Some people might find Lin Hong through the handwriting. Chen Xing could only be at ease if he personally handed the notebook to Tan Zheng.
At around 9 o 'clock, when Chen Xing was about to go out, his phone rang. It was a call from his brother-in-law, Zhang Yi. Chen Xing quickly picked it up and smiled. "Second Brother, you are thinking about me so early in the morning. It can't be anything good, right? When I went out this morning, I heard magpies chirping.
Go to hell, stop bullshitting me. Magpies? Why don't you say sparrows? " Zhang Yi laughed and scolded.
"Second Brother, you can't be looking for me for something bad, right? If it's something bad, I will hang up immediately. Just pretend that I did not pick up the call." Chen Xing joked.
There's nothing bad or good, but there's a piece of news that I want to tell you. But even if I don't say it, you will know about it soon. " Zhang Yi smiled. Wang Zheng had entered politics and jumped from a state-owned enterprise to a local government. He was transferred to Xing 'an City to be the Deputy Mayor. The higher-ups had already informed the local Provincial Party Committee. After going through the formalities, he would be appointed as the Deputy Mayor.
Wang Zheng was transferred to Xing 'an City to be the Deputy Mayor? Chen Xing was stunned and said in surprise. Didn't he just have a position in a state-owned enterprise to pass his days?
That's right, but it's not like you don't know that it's not difficult for someone with connections to be transferred from a state-owned enterprise to a local government. Zhang Yi smiled and pursed his lips. His father did not directly give him the position of Mayor, which was considered low-key enough. He probably had the intention of training him. He did not need to make any big achievements. As long as he did not make any big mistakes, being promoted to Mayor was a sure thing. If he could make some achievements, it would probably be publicized all over the world.
These days, it was really the era of relying on one's father. Chen Xing smiled helplessly. Wang Zheng, the son of the Deputy Premier, did not want to live a carefree life. Instead, he wanted to enter politics. This was out of his expectations.
Chen Xing, aren't you implicating me in your words as well? Zhang Yi snorted.
That's not the case, Second Brother, why would I scold you? Chen Xing smiled and explained. He had accidentally scolded Zhang Yi too. Zhang Yi and Wang Zheng were both sons of high officials. It was just that one had a stronger background. There was no difference between the two.
These days, it's not just about relying on one's father, but also one's wife and classmates. Don't be envious of others. Go and be happy. Zhang Yi said bluntly over the phone. He was straightforward with Chen Xing and they both understood each other. He did not have to worry that his words would hurt Chen Xing's pride.
Yes, yes, I have a good wife. Chen Xing said with a chuckle. There was nothing to deny about it.
