Zhang Xinjun sat in his seat with a pale face. If one looked closely at Zhang Xinjun's feet under the table, one could see that Zhang Xinjun's legs were trembling slightly. There was no doubt that Zhang Xinjun was scared out of his wits. If he were to stand up at this moment, Zhang Xinjun's legs would definitely turn to jelly and he would directly kneel under the table. Even though he was a deputy director level cadre and had seen many storms, he was still so scared that his legs were trembling and he could not even stand up.
It was silent in the meeting room. The tense atmosphere eased by the knock on the door, but now it was strange in a different way. No one dared to make a sound. They all looked at Zhang Xinjun. Some of them even had cramps in their stomachs. The people from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection were obviously targeting Zhang Xinjun, but their foreheads were sweating and they didn't even dare to look at the people from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection.
In the meeting room, except for the people from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection, only Zhou Fangyu was standing. Zhou Fangyu was arguing with Chen Xing and didn't have time to sit down because he was the only one standing, which was too eye-catching. The staff from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection who spoke first looked at Zhou Fangyu. Zhou Fangyu bent his legs and sat down reflexively. He smiled at the staff as if to explain that he was not Zhang Xinjun, but his smile was uglier than crying.
Who is Zhang Xinjun? The staff from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection repeated again. His voice was still emotionless, but there was only a chill in it. As he spoke, he stared at Zhang Xinjun. In fact, he had already recognized Zhang Xinjun from the moment he came in. They had done their homework to bring Zhang Xinjun here. If they didn't even know what Zhang Xinjun looked like, they could only blame it on their negligence of duty. Zhang Xinjun was drinking water when it fell to the ground with a bang. It was hard not to notice it.
I … I am. Zhang Xinjun swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He tried his best to maintain his composure, but his slightly pale face had already betrayed his inner thoughts. Zhang Xinjun wanted to stand up, but his legs didn't listen to him anymore. He could only remain seated, trying to hide his trembling and weak legs.
"Come with us." The leading staff from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection just glanced at Zhang Xinjun and didn't say anything.
"What … what's the matter?" Zhang Xinjun didn't stand up immediately. He didn't doubt that he would collapse if he stood up. He just sat calmly to hide his anxiety and fear.
"Come with us." The staff member only repeated this sentence. His rank was not as high as Zhang Xinjun's, and he did not have as much power as Zhang Xinjun did when he was the deputy mayor. However, when they came out to perform tasks, they had an innate psychological advantage when facing the officials below them. Even an ordinary staff member would have confidence in front of a department level cadre. This was the confidence given to them by the department behind them and the functions they performed.
I'm sorry, we are having an executive meeting here. Although you are from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, you did not show any documents and did not tell me the reason. I am sorry that I cannot go with you. Zhang Xinjun straightened his neck and said this sentence with the mentality of throwing caution to the wind. Anyway, he couldn't avoid it. At least he wanted to die knowing why.
Zhang Xinjun's rhetorical question made the staff from the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection frown, but he didn't say anything. They had always been used to having a smooth life. When they came down to handle a case, they were basically scared to death. Few people dared to ask questions like Zhang Xinjun. However, since they were here, the procedures must be complete. Not to mention that Zhang Xinjun was a deputy department official. Without the signature of the Provincial Disciplinary Commission for Discipline Inspection's Tan Zheng, even the deputy secretary didn't dare to make the decision. Now that Zhang Xinjun had said it, he wouldn't deliberately not show it to the other party. He immediately took out a document from his briefcase and walked in front of Zhang Xinjun. The staff's face was even more serious than before. "This is the document.
Take a look at it carefully. "Zhang Xinjun's eyes widened. When he saw the magnificent two words" Tan Zheng ", Zhang Xinjun's pupils immediately shrank. There was only one voice in his head." Oh no!
Can you come with us now? " The staff member stared at Zhang Xinjun with an imperceptible trace of mockery in his eyes. He did not want to take out the document that Tan Zheng had personally signed, but Zhang Xinjun insisted that he take it out. Now that he saw it, he was even more frightened. He saw that Zhang Xinjun's trousers were shaking.
"You two, help Deputy Mayor Zhang stand up." The staff waved to his two colleagues at the door. Without thinking, he knew that Zhang Xinjun couldn't stand up on his own. This wasn't the first time he encountered this situation. Many government officials had to be supported by his colleagues to walk. To be able to walk out on his own, he must be mentally strong.
At the door, two people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection walked in. Zhang Xinjun glanced at them and waved his hand. If they really helped him up, he would be utterly humiliated. Even though he didn't care about his reputation now, sometimes people still cared about their reputation when they were about to die. Zhang Xinjun was like this at this moment. He stood up by supporting himself with the table. When he walked out, Zhang Xinjun paused for a moment. Those who didn't know him would think that Zhang Xinjun was still calm at this moment, but Zhang Xinjun knew his own situation. His legs went soft for a moment.
Zhang Xinjun walked out under everyone's gaze. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. This time, it wasn't because his legs went soft. Zhang Xinjun suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Chen Xing. Chen Xing was the only one who had the handle, which was given to Chen Xing by Zhou Yan. At this time, Zhang Xinjun suspected that what happened today was caused by Chen Xing secretly. With such a guess in mind, Zhang Xinjun was undoubtedly very angry. Chen Xing had comforted him that he wouldn't settle old scores, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly turned to support Chen Xing during the Standing Committee meeting. However, after Chen Xing finished using him, he secretly attacked him? Although it was just a guess, Zhang Xinjun's eyes were already burning with anger. His eyes looked like he wanted to eat Chen Xing alive.
Chen Xing, you're a sinister villain. Sooner or later, you will not have a good end. Zhang Xinjun said angrily.
Please go, don't waste any more time. The leading staff of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was stunned and looked back at Chen Xing. He didn't know why Zhang Xinjun was so crazy. He was clear about Zhang Xinjun's case. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had already received a report and started an investigation. Although he had seen Chen Xing enter Secretary Tan's office, he was absolutely sure that this had nothing to do with Chen Xing. The timing didn't match at all.
At this moment, Chen Xing was really wronged. Of course, he knew what Zhang Xinjun meant, but what did it have to do with him? It was true that he had evidence against Zhang Xinjun, but he had never thought of sending it to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Zhang Xinjun was still useful to him. Since he had promised Zhang Xinjun that he would not settle old scores with him, he would not go back on his words. Why would he secretly hurt Zhang Xinjun? Zhang Xinjun was not worth it. As long as Li Haocheng fell, no one in the Municipal Government could control him, so he didn't have to hurt Zhang Xinjun.
"Damn it, I was shot even though I was doing nothing." Chen Xing cursed in his heart. He wanted to show his steady side to others, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a temper. Now that Zhang Xinjun had left, he was definitely wronged. Chen Xing smiled bitterly, but he couldn't get angry. Zhang Xinjun had already walked out. Besides, he really sympathized with Zhang Xinjun. Zhang Xinjun was sitting here just now, but now extreme joy turned to sorrow. It was true that life was full of ups and downs, but Zhang Xinjun's experience was too dramatic. No one would have thought that this would happen. Chen Xing understood Zhang Xinjun. It was understandable that Zhang Xinjun's mentality was abnormal in such a situation, so there was no need to argue with him. Zhang Xinjun probably wouldn't come back after leaving. He had never seen anyone who could be fine after being sent to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Zhang Xinjun had walked with the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for several minutes, but the meeting room was still silent. No one had come back to their senses, even Chen Xing himself was silent. He was also puzzled and full of questions. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection really didn't leak any information about this action. He had gone to Tan Zheng twice, and Tan Zheng had been honest with him about Li Haocheng's case. However, Tan Zheng hadn't said anything about Zhang Xinjun's case. Chen Xing thought that when he talked to Tan Zheng about Li Haocheng's case, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had already started investigating Zhang Xinjun. Otherwise, this scene wouldn't have happened.
Ahem, let's continue the meeting. Chen Xing coughed softly to draw everyone's attention back.
In fact, before Chen Xing said anything, everyone's eyes were already on him. Just now, Zhang Xinjun's final scolding of Chen Xing without caring about his image made everyone's brains short of oxygen. Was this related to Chen Xing? Did Chen Xing have the ability to influence the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Many people had this idea, and the way they looked at Chen Xing suddenly changed. Their eyes were filled with shock and fear. Although some people who followed Li Haocheng didn't know that Li Haocheng was also in trouble, they already had other ideas. They thought that they had to correct their attitude in front of Chen Xing in the future. Otherwise, if they were accidentally invited by the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it would be strange if they could clean their butts.
Of course, Chen Xing didn't know that the scene just now had made people's imagination run wild. As the saying goes, it's better to believe it than not. Although many people were only guessing based on Zhang Xinjun's last words, they would rather believe that it was Chen Xing who invited the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection than offend Chen Xing, who was a non-local mayor. There was another saying in the officialdom, "Don't bully the old, don't bully the young". In front of Chen Xing, they really had to behave themselves. This was what many people were thinking.
If Chen Xing knew at this moment that Zhang Xinjun's last words would cause such an effect, Chen Xing would probably smile bitterly. It turned out that it was worth it to be scolded by Zhang Xinjun for no reason. At least he didn't feel wronged.
Zhou Fangyu, do you have anything else to say about going to the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee? I can tell you clearly that even if Li Haocheng comes to the meeting today, you have to go.
Chen Xing temporarily put aside the matter of Zhang Xinjun. It was none of his business that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection wanted to investigate Zhang Xinjun. Anyway, he didn't do anything behind Zhang Xinjun's back. At this moment, Chen Xing was more concerned about the matter that had just been interrupted. He had made up his mind to make a move on the Finance Bureau. Sending Zhou Fangyu, the director, away was the first step. Therefore, he couldn't allow Zhou Fangyu to refuse. Zhou Fangyu had to go, even if he didn't want to. If he obediently went, that would be the best. At this moment, Chen Xing spoke to Zhou Fangyu in a very strict tone and didn't hesitate to point out Li Haocheng.
"Chen … Mayor Chen, I'll go, I'll go." Zhou Fangyu nodded like a chick pecking rice. His face was still as pale as a piece of paper.
"Huh?" Chen Xing was stunned. If Zhou Fangyu found an excuse to refuse now, he still had a trump card waiting for Zhou Fangyu. Anyway, Zhou Fangyu had to go this time. However, Zhou Fangyu suddenly agreed so decisively. On the contrary, Chen Xing was not used to it. Did Zhou Fangyu "get it" just because the meeting was interrupted?
Looking at Zhou Fangyu's pale face and the abnormal expressions of the others, Chen Xing thought about it carefully and figured out the clues at once. It turned out that the accusation he carried just now was really made by him. The others probably really thought that he had something to do with Zhang Xinjun being taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Now that Zhou Fangyu's attitude had changed so quickly, he was probably scared out of his wits.
…
Zhou Fangyu's sudden "obedience" saved Chen Xing a lot of trouble. There was nothing urgent in the following meeting. After a symbolic discussion of a few established topics, the meeting ended. Before Chen Xing walked out of the meeting room, the others were stunned and didn't dare to leave first. It was not until Chen Xing walked out of the meeting room that people came out one after another.
"The world is going to change." Deputy Mayor Tong Zhengkai walked out of the meeting room and stood in the corridor. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Tong Zhengkai sighed for no reason. Chen Xing suddenly became domineering, and the deputy mayors undoubtedly felt the most pressure.
"The world is going to change." Ma Linping walked behind Tong Zhengkai. When he reached Tong Zhengkai's side, he heard Tong Zhengkai's words and stopped walking. Looking at the darkening sky, Ma Linping also looked worried.
Downstairs of the administrative center, Shao Huadong, who followed Chen Xing out, deliberately quickened his steps to catch up with Chen Xing's pace. Shao Huadong didn't say a word in the meeting just now, but from Chen Xing's words, Shao Huadong had sensed something unusual. Obviously, he caught up with Chen Xing to find out what was going on.
"Mayor, Deputy Mayor Li is still abroad. Do the provincial leaders have any opinions?" Shao Huadong asked calmly. He didn't ask about Zhang Xinjun.
"Comrade Huadong, I really don't know. I don't know if Li Haocheng has reported to the provincial leaders that he is staying abroad, but he didn't inform our city leaders in advance. With his lack of discipline, it's normal for the provincial leaders to have opinions about him. I don't know if they really have opinions about him, but I personally dislike Li Haocheng's behavior." Chen Xing smiled. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was investigating Li Haocheng's case. Chen Xing didn't intend to tell Shao Huadong about it. After all, it was still a secret investigation.
Deputy Mayor Li's behavior was somewhat incomprehensible. He stayed abroad because of personal affairs. Shao Huadong didn't know what he was thinking. Shao Huadong shook his head. He had sensed something when Chen Xing called Li Haocheng's name. Moreover, Li Haocheng was staying abroad. Although Li Haocheng said it was a personal matter and he would come back in a few days, Shao Huadong didn't really believe it.
Li Haocheng's behavior was very abnormal this time. No matter what, he was a deputy leader. He should have some political awareness. Something must have happened for Li Haocheng to do such an abnormal thing. Thinking of Zhang Xinjun being taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Shao Huadong had a bold guess in his heart. However, he was not sure. That was why he planned to sound out from Chen Xing.
"Comrade Huadong, when Li Haocheng comes back, maybe we can hear his explanation." Chen Xing smiled. He was not saying that perfunctorily to Shao Huadong. He was not sure whether Li Haocheng would come back or not.
"That's right." Shao Huadong smiled. "Mayor Chen, I'll go first."
Chen Xing nodded and watched Shao Huadong leave. Chen Xing turned to his car. When he came out of the administrative center, he saw Li Yong. At noon, he drove back from the restaurant and went straight to the administrative center. He didn't know when Li Yong arrived. He walked up to him and smiled. "Li, when did you arrive?
Mayor, I just came here. " Li Yong gave a simple and honest smile. He had just left the small restaurant.
