Chen Xing's silence caused a misunderstanding to Wang Rongyan. Wang Rongyan said with flagging interest, "Chen Xing, if it's not convenient for you to speak up, then forget it. Don't make it difficult for me."
Chen Xing, who was contemplating how to help Wang Rongyan, laughed when he heard Wang Rongyan's words. He knew that his silence had caused a misunderstanding to Wang Rongyan, so he hurriedly said with a smile, "Old leader, you misunderstood me. I didn't speak up because it was difficult for me. I was thinking about how to help you solve this matter. Not only this matter, I was also angry when I heard about the traffic accident you told me before. It's okay if I don't know about this kind of thing, but if I know, I won't pretend that I don't know. Otherwise, I will feel sorry for myself.
It's been a few months since the traffic accident. Chen Xing, isn't it too late to pursue it now? " Hearing Chen Xing's words, Wang Rongyan even forgot his own business. His eyes widened. If Chen Xing really wanted to ask about the traffic accident, that was the situation he most wanted to see. Although he just told Chen Xing the reason, Wang Rongyan also hoped that Chen Xing would ask about it. Otherwise, Wang Rongyan would not have said it so carefully.
It's not too late to pursue it now. Depending on the case, the law stipulates that the limitation of prosecution is 5 to 20 years. It's not too late to pursue it after a few years. Chen Xing said half-jokingly, but this matter was also difficult to handle. At that time, the case was handled by the Nanming District Traffic Police Brigade. The investigation evidence at the scene was in their hands. He was afraid that some people would get wind of it and do something like destroying the evidence. Therefore, he had to make careful planning and arrangements to handle this matter.
"Well, Chen Xing, what you said is very right. We can't be careless." Wang Rongyan nodded in agreement, but he was a little worried. "Chen Xing, I'm afraid that the evidence is gone now. If Geng Jiansheng has been destroyed by the traffic police privately, it will be a headache. This is the worst situation. I hope it won't happen."
"Old leader, what you said is possible, but it's useless for us to make wild guesses now. We'll know when the case is solved. Even if the evidence at the scene is destroyed, justice has long arms. As long as the family of the deceased and the witnesses at the scene are willing to come forward, I believe that the culprit will be punished according to the law. Chen Xing said with a smile, "Leave this case to the professionals. Later, I will instruct the people from the Municipal Bureau to handle this case seriously."
Then I'll wait for the good news. There were witnesses at the school, and they were also students of our school. If you need witnesses, I can mobilize them to find them. Wang Rongyan was overjoyed. He looked at Chen Xing with some gratitude. Whether or not Chen Xing specially reopened this case because of him, Wang Rongyan was grateful to Chen Xing. This matter had passed for a few months. Although it had faded in his heart, it was impossible for Wang Rongyan to completely forget it. Moreover, this matter was no longer simply a matter of seeking justice for the students of his school, but he also had to bear with it.
Thinking of how he had run into obstacles everywhere in the district at that time, and how some people whose ranks were much lower than his dared to give him a hard time, Wang Rongyan felt very sullen in his heart. The officialdom was a place where seniority and rank were important. As the saying went, a higher official could crush a person. Even if he, as a deputy ministerial cadre of a university, could not crush a person, his rank was real. Although he could only manage the affairs of his own school, he could not allow some rascals to ride roughshod over him. Even the people of the Nanming District Traffic Police Brigade dared to mock him for being nosy. It would be strange if he could swallow this anger. It was fine that he did not have the chance to vent his anger before. Now that Chen Xing was asking about this matter, Wang Rongyan felt very relieved.
"Old leader, there is an old saying that goes," Heaven is watching what people do. Those who do evil will bring about their own destruction. Some people can be free for a while, but not for a lifetime. " Chen Xing said with a smile, "As for the land requisition for your school's expansion, I will arrange a time in the next two days to visit your school. What do you think, old leader?
That couldn't be better. " Wang Rongyan smiled and slapped his thigh. He also wanted to make this request, but it was not convenient to say it directly. Since Chen Xing had brought it up himself, it was to his liking. There was even a smile at the corner of his eyes. "Chen Xing, your visit is the greatest support for our school. When the time comes, it will be a great deterrent to those evil spirits. I reckon that those people in the Nanming District who are secretly setting up obstacles for us will be quite frightened."
"Old leader, you are making me out to be a door god. I don't have that kind of use." Chen Xing joked. Since he took office as the mayor, he had not been to the University of Nanzhou. No matter what, it was a banner for the development of higher education in the city. As the mayor, it was reasonable for him to visit it. At the very least, he should show his concern and support for the development of Nanzhou University.
Wang Rongyan directly ignored Chen Xing's joke. He was afraid that as the mayor, Chen Xing, he would be busy. Although it was only in the next two days, if he got too busy and forgot about it, it might drag on for a long time. He was in a hurry to finalize this matter. He smiled and said, "Chen Xing, then we have a deal. You must make time to come over in the next two days. You have to put this matter in your schedule. Otherwise, you should forget about it. I have been waiting for you at school."
"Old leader, don't worry. I will write it down in my notebook now. That should be fine, right?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"That's good. Chen Xing, you must really write it down. Otherwise, I am afraid that you, the mayor, will forget about it later. I am too embarrassed to call you and urge you." Chen Xing was only joking, but Wang Rongyan really nodded.
"Old leader, I will write it down, I will write it down." Being stared at by Wang Rongyan, Chen Xing smiled bitterly. He could not help but sigh in his heart. Wang Rongyan was really anxious. Otherwise, he would not have taken his joke seriously. Thinking about it, Wang Rongyan used to be an influential figure in the department and had a chance to compete for the position of deputy minister. However, because of a single step, he fell into this situation. It was not that there was anything wrong with Wang Rongyan being the secretary of the Party Committee in the university, but it was definitely a lot worse than being in the department.
If he could really become the deputy minister, his future would be completely different. He might even have a chance to compete for the position of minister in the future. But now, it was basically hopeless. At that time, there was a rumor in the department that Wang Rongyan was shot in the back because of his lifestyle, and it was related to competing for the position of deputy minister. There was only one position, and there were several people eyeing it. Whoever had something on him first would definitely not miss the opportunity to hit him when he was down. It was better to have one less competitor. Everyone knew how to do such a simple addition and subtraction.
Chen Xing sighed with emotion that Wang Rongyan used to be high-spirited and vigorous. Now, when he was working in a university, he was bullied by some small cadres, and he could do nothing about it. It was really sad. It was no wonder that Wang Rongyan was so angry. In addition to the anger of fighting for the injustice of the students, he was probably also angry at being despised and neglected. If it were Chen Xing himself, he would not be able to swallow this anger.
Old leader, we have only been talking and haven't even ordered the dishes yet. Chen Xing looked at the time. It was already past 12 o 'clock. They had been talking just now, and when the waiter came in, they called him out again. They had not even ordered the dishes yet. Chen Xing smiled and explained, I have an important meeting to attend in the afternoon. Old leader, we have to hurry up and eat. I still have to go back and make some preparations.
Chen Xing, why didn't you say so earlier? Look at me, I've wasted so much of your time. Wang Rongyan slapped his forehead in self-reproach. Then hurry up and call the waiter in to order the dishes. Let's hurry up and eat.
…
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the acting mayor, Mayor Chen, presided over an executive meeting of the Municipal Government. The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Deputy Mayor Shao Huadong, Deputy Mayor Tong Zhengkai, Zhang Xinjun, and Ma Linping attended the meeting. The Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress, the Deputy Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, and other relevant leaders attended the meeting. The main persons-in-charge of all districts and departments directly under the municipal government also attended the meeting.
At the meeting, the Director of the Finance Bureau, Zhou Fangyu, reported on the implementation of the city's budget for the first three quarters and discussed the adjustment of investment plans for key projects.
At the meeting, Chen Xing pointed out that the fourth quarter's fiscal investment and revenue should be accelerated to ensure that the annual investment and revenue both meet the target. At the same time, all levels and departments should actively implement and implement the spirit of the Municipal Government's document to encourage the investment, development, and expansion of the private sector to promote the stable and rapid growth of the city's economy.
During the discussion on the adjustment of the fourth quarter's fiscal budget and the next year's budget, Chen Xing emphasized that the finance department should strengthen the supervision and inspection of the disclosure of fiscal budget information. It should also properly consider the fiscal funds under special circumstances to ensure that the fiscal funds of all units were more reasonable and transparent.
There was no doubt that the latter part of Chen Xing's words had a hidden meaning. Chen Xing had been suppressing his anger for a long time because of the Finance Bureau's refusal to listen to his instructions. Especially the negative treatment of the treatment funds for the villagers in Big Head Village, Chen Xing's dissatisfaction with Zhou Fangyu had reached the verge of exploding. If it weren't for the fact that he had raised the funds through fundraising, Chen Xing would undoubtedly have broken his promise to the villagers. At that time, not only would he have broken his promise as the mayor, he would also have become a big joke. Due to many reasons, Chen Xing's dissatisfaction with Zhou Fangyu could not be eliminated. He had long wanted to transfer Zhou Fangyu to another position, but he had been waiting for the right opportunity. Previously, Zhou Fangyu had the protection of Li Haocheng, and Chen Xing was a newcomer, so it was not appropriate for him to make a move on Zhou Fangyu. Now, the situation was somewhat different. Chen Xing had already made plans to make a move on Zhou Fangyu.
Comrade Fangyu, how much more can the Finance Bureau squeeze out of the budget? After Chen Xing made a speech, he suddenly looked at Zhou Fangyu.
Zhou Fangyu was stunned by Chen Xing's question. Just now, he heard that Chen Xing's words were directed at the Finance Bureau. Zhou Fangyu's mind almost wandered. Now that Chen Xing suddenly asked him such a question, Zhou Fangyu was really caught off guard. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Fangyu thought about how to answer Chen Xing and whether he should also give in to Chen Xing. After all, Chen Xing had established some prestige when he first arrived. If he didn't take this opportunity to mend his relationship with Chen Xing, he was afraid that he would be in trouble when Chen Xing completely took control of the situation in the future.
Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Fangyu's mind, but it only lasted for a moment. Just when Zhou Fangyu was thinking that he should give in when dealing with Chen Xing, as soon as he came to his senses, he saw that everyone was staring at him. Chen Xing was even staring at him with sharp eyes. Zhou Fangyu's heart skipped a beat. He thought that if he gave in now, he would become a joke to everyone. Previously, he had an attitude of obeying Chen Xing on the surface but opposing him in secret. Everyone also knew that he followed in the footsteps of Li Haocheng and didn't give in to Chen Xing. If he gave in now, he would be laughed at. He still had the backing of Li Haocheng, and Li Haocheng had the backing of the big shots in the province. Why should he be afraid of Chen Xing?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Fangyu returned to the original point. What Zhou Fangyu said was the same as before. "Mayor, the financial budget is very tight now, and we can't squeeze out any extra funds."
"Really? The financial department doesn't have extra funds. Then why did I hear that all the social engagements and internal dinners in your bureau are held in five-star hotels? I heard that you plan to organize some employees who have worked for more than ten years to travel abroad on New Year's Day. Excluding the travel expenses, the consumption limit for each person is 30,000 yuan, which will be reimbursed by the public funds of your bureau. Comrade Fangyu, some departments are tightening their belts to get by, but your bureau is really not short of money." Chen Xing stared at Zhou Fangyu coldly.
"Mayor Chen, there's no such thing. Someone must be deliberately spreading rumors to frame us." Zhou Fangyu's eyes widened. He was almost caught off guard by the question. Seeing that Chen Xing was still staring at him, Zhou Fangyu dodged his gaze and changed his words. "Our bureau's social engagements are held in five-star hotels, but they are only for important VIPs. The main reason is to take care of our city's image. No matter what, we can't let foreign VIPs think that our provincial capital is too shabby. After all, this is also related to our city's image."
"Comrade Zhou Fangyu, I'm not asking you about this. You're deliberately avoiding the question. Are you feeling guilty?" Chen Xing continued to ask. "It's fine to hold important VIPs in five-star hotels, but your bureau's staff eat in five-star hotels. Comrade Zhou Fangyu, you haven't answered me yet."
"Mayor Chen, there's no such thing. Someone must be talking nonsense." Zhou Fangyu pretended to be wronged. He didn't know where Chen Xing heard these things, but he would never admit it. At this moment, Chen Xing directly called his name. Zhou Fangyu also knew that Chen Xing was very dissatisfied with him.
"Comrade Zhou Fangyu, do you really want me to list out the evidence?" A trace of ridicule flashed through Chen Xing's eyes.
"Mayor Chen, it's … it's only once or twice. It's just occasionally, not often." Zhou Fangyu was secretly shocked. It turned out that Chen Xing's words were waiting for him. At this moment, Zhou Fangyu's nerves were about to collapse. He didn't know whether Chen Xing was bluffing him or not, but if Chen Xing really took out some evidence, he would be embarrassed. Therefore, he couldn't help but relax his tone and didn't dare to say anything definite anymore.
"Well, even if it's occasionally, how do you explain the overseas trip? It's only November, and you've even prepared the overseas trip in January. Each of you has a reimbursement limit of 30,000 yuan. You're really rich. I believe that your bureau's staff are very lucky to have such a generous director like you. " Chen Xing looked at Zhou Fangyu with a smile on his face. Everyone could tell that he was praising Zhou Fangyu, and he almost scolded Zhou Fangyu directly.
"Mayor Chen, there's no such thing at all. It was probably spread by his subordinates themselves. At that time, it was just a joke. He only said that they would go abroad for study and investigation, and didn't say anything about the reimbursement limit of 30,000 yuan. I don't know how outsiders spread it, but it became so ridiculous." At this moment, the smile on Zhou Fangyu's face was uglier than crying. He had already begun to curse in his heart. "I'm working for the benefits of my subordinates, but someone spread it everywhere. If I don't find out who spread it first, I won't be a Zhou director."
"I'm afraid only you know whether there's such a thing or not." Chen Xing looked at Zhou Fangyu with a faint smile. I asked you to squeeze out some money for the villagers in the cancer village, but you kept saying that you don't have any money. Yet, you've made ample arrangements for your own bureau's funds. Even though I'm the mayor, my instructions are useless in your hands.
As Chen Xing spoke, his eyes were filled with killing intent. Of course, this killing intent was not to kill, but to take down Zhou Fangyu. At this moment, the meeting room was already tense. Just now, some people were still laughing at Zhou Fangyu, but now, many people couldn't laugh anymore. In fact, most of the people present were loyal to Li Haocheng, and many of them were directly promoted by Li Haocheng. Today, Chen Xing publicly targeted Zhou Fangyu on such an occasion, which had already made everyone feel that something was wrong. The only one who was really gloating was Zhang Xinjun, the Deputy Mayor. His relationship with Li Haocheng had already become stiff. Although he also disliked Chen Xing, when Chen Xing wanted to deal with Li Haocheng's people, Zhang Xinjun simply treated it as a show.
As for the other Deputy Mayors present, Shao Huadong, who had some understanding of Chen Xing, had already frowned slightly. Chen Xing's behavior today was very abnormal. What did this mean? Glancing at Zhou Fangyu, Shao Huadong shook his head slightly, thinking that Zhou Fangyu was probably in danger this time.
Mayor Chen, this is definitely a rumor spread by someone. When I go back, I will definitely investigate it strictly. At this time, Zhou Fangyu was also unable to see the situation clearly. Until now, he still hadn't noticed the abnormal situation of Chen Xing making things difficult for him today. He was still quibbling.
If you want to investigate it strictly, wait until you come back from the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. Comrade Zhou Fangyu, recently, there will be a divisional cadre training course in the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. Although the course has already started, the city still fought for an opportunity for you. You must study hard, deepen your theoretical knowledge, and improve your professional ability. Chen Xing threw a notice of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee in front of Zhou Fangyu. In fact, he didn't need to take it out in front of so many people, because doing so would only make people think that he was retaliating. However, Chen Xing didn't care about what others thought at all. He did this to warn the people present.
Mayor Chen, what … what study? Zhou Fangyu couldn't understand it for a moment.
I asked you to go to the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee to study. You can't understand it, but can't you read? Chen Xing glanced at Zhou Fangyu indifferently.
Looking at the dazzling notice of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee on the table, Zhou Fangyu slowly came to himself. Soon, Zhou Fangyu became anxious. Mayor Chen, does Mayor Li know about this? Mayor Li definitely won't agree.
Zhou Fangyu, what do you mean? Chen Xing suddenly stood up, and his chair was almost knocked down. Everyone in the meeting room looked at Chen Xing with a cold face. Zhou Fangyu, who is in charge of the Municipal Government? Do you mean that I can't be in charge of the Municipal Government, and I have to follow Li Haocheng's orders?
Mayor Chen, I don't mean that, but Mayor Li didn't come to the meeting today. This … Zhou Fangyu didn't know what to say at the moment. Even if he was bold, he didn't dare to say it openly. However, he knew that Chen Xing was up to no good when he asked him to go to the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee to study. How could Zhou Fangyu go there obediently? However, Li Haocheng was not here, and no one else in the meeting room dared to stand up for him. Zhou Fangyu was really sweating this time.
The atmosphere in the meeting room seemed to be frozen. Many people didn't dare to breathe loudly. It was the first time that they saw Chen Xing being so aggressive today. Shao Huadong kept his mouth shut. Because Chen Xing had something on Zhang Xinjun, even if he didn't like Chen Xing, he was on Chen Xing's side, so it was even more impossible for him to say anything. However, Zhang Xinjun was secretly shocked. He had always thought that Chen Xing was plotting against him, but judging from what Chen Xing did this time, Chen Xing's overt plot was equally frightening.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The stiff atmosphere seemed to have found a vent at this moment. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the door.
Chen Xing was also very surprised. He had told people not to disturb him during the meeting. Who would knock on the door?
Before the people inside opened the door, the people outside the door knocked twice symbolically and opened the door. Several strange faces appeared at the door. Two of them walked in and looked around coldly. One of them took out his ID and said, "Who is Zhang Xinjun from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission? Please come with us."
