In the car, Li Yong and Chen Xing talked about what happened in the restaurant in detail. Although they didn't know why Chen Xing cared about such a trivial matter, since Chen Xing had personally ordered Li Yong, he attached great importance to it and didn't leave until it was over. Otherwise, Li Yong wouldn't have stayed here for so long and come back so late.
"Did you get any useful information from the onlookers?" Chen Xing frowned. According to Li Yong, the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau forced the restaurant to close before they left. During the process, the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau only scolded the restaurant a little and didn't do anything barbaric. However, with the law enforcers there, the restaurant couldn't operate as usual. In the end, the restaurant had to be closed.
Most of the onlookers were just passing by to watch the scene. Some onlookers made wild guesses, which made people not know whether to laugh or cry. Some said that the female boss was a beautiful woman, so the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau took a fancy to her, so they deliberately came to make trouble for her. Some said that the female boss might be someone's mistress, who was discovered by the wife, so the law enforcers came to make trouble for her. Others said that the restaurant might have stolen someone else's business, so the restaurant was smashed.
Li Yong said with a smile. The people who said these things were so imaginative that they could come up with anything. However, since Li Yong stayed until the end, obviously, he didn't just listen to all kinds of guesses. He left so late because he waited for the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau to leave. Then, he pretended to be a passerby and tried to get some information from the female boss. Although the female boss was a little cautious and didn't get much information out of him, he still got some useful information. The female boss said that she had offended the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau.
How could she offend the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau? Chen Xing said suspiciously. Jiang Wan gave him the impression that she was a gentle person who stood aloof from worldly affairs. She wouldn't offend anyone, let alone the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau. As a woman, Jiang Wan was working hard in a foreign place. She must want to make money peacefully, so she wouldn't offend anyone.
Li Yong didn't pay attention to Chen Xing's words. Otherwise, he could tell from Chen Xing's words that Chen Xing and Jiang Wan knew each other. He said, "Mayor, the female boss said that she offended the law enforcers of the Sanitary Bureau. She didn't look like she was lying. However, everyone has their reasons. What she said must be beneficial to her, so it's hard to judge whether it is true or not.
What you said makes sense. Let's not talk about this now. Let's go back. " Chen Xing nodded and made up his mind to find a time to visit Jiang Wan. Both of them were from Hai City, so it was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land for them to bump into each other. Since they had met, it was normal for him to ask her out for a meal and a cup of tea. Moreover, Chen Xing was certain that the person he met at the restaurant that night was Jiang Wan. At that time, the cry for help came from Jiang Wan's private room. Although Jiang Wan had already left when he came out, and the staff only said that the two customers inside were joking, there was something fishy about this matter. Chen Xing didn't know whether Jiang Wan had encountered any difficulties, so he was more or less puzzled.
In fact, if Chen Xing recognized the person in the Sanitary Bureau uniform who met Jiang Wan at noon as the person who came out of Jiang Wan's private room that night and bumped into him, Chen Xing wouldn't have any doubts now.
Back at the Municipal Government, when Chen Xing walked to the office, his old classmate Zhang Ruoming was already waiting outside. When he saw Chen Xing, Zhang Ruoming also looked solemn. This was the Municipal Government, so Zhang Ruoming didn't dare to act as casually as he did in private. In private, he called Chen Xing by his name. Now, Zhang Ruoming seriously called him Mayor Chen.
"Ruoming is here. Come in." Chen Xing smiled and nodded at Zhang Ruoming.
Huang Jianghua closed the office door from outside. Chen Xing looked back at Zhang Ruoming and saw that Zhang Ruoming's face was still tense. He smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here. Who are you putting on this face for?"
"This is the Mayor's office, of course I have to be serious. Look, as soon as I raise my head, I'm facing the national flag. I don't dare to be mischievous in such a solemn occasion." Zhang Ruoming smiled. At this moment, Chen Xing's expression was the one he was familiar with. Just now, although Chen Xing didn't put on a serious face, Zhang Ruoming still felt the aura of the Mayor. At this moment, Zhang Ruoming relaxed. He still had a lot of questions. The Municipal Government suddenly notified the Statistics Bureau and asked him to come to the Municipal Government in the afternoon. After receiving the notice, Zhang Ruoming hurried over and forgot to look at the time. See, he had been waiting for almost an hour.
"I know what your fart smells like. Don't pretend in front of me." Chen Xing laughed and scolded. "Sit by yourself. Do you need me to invite you to sit?"
"No, no, how dare I trouble the Mayor." Zhang Ruoming squinted his eyes and smiled. He walked to the sofa and sat down. Zhang Ruoming looked around Chen Xing's office. This was the first time he came to the Mayor's office. As soon as he walked in, Zhang Ruoming felt a sense of awe. Even though the Mayor in front of him was his college classmate, Zhang Ruoming was still in the system. The awe of power had been deeply rooted in his bones.
Zhang Ruoming's eyes wandered around the office. When he saw Chen Xing walked behind the desk and seemed to be looking through some documents, Zhang Ruoming became silent. In fact, he was eager to ask why Chen Xing asked him to come here, but he didn't dare to ask. It was one thing to joke with Chen Xing, but Zhang Ruoming was not only curious but also nervous when Chen Xing asked him to come to the office in such a formal manner. After all, based on their relationship, Chen Xing could talk to him in private. There was no need to invite him to the office in such a formal manner.
Ruoming, I plan to transfer you to the Finance Department. What do you think? Chen Xing put down the document in his hand and suddenly said.
To … to the Finance Department? Zhang Ruoming was stunned. He stared at Chen Xing and thought he heard wrong. He pinched his thigh. The pain almost made Zhang Ruoming scream. He looked at Chen Xing and stuttered. Chen Xing, of course I'm willing. I'm 100% willing.
Zhang Ruoming realized that he had lost his composure after he finished speaking. He quickly added, "As a public servant, I'm determined to follow the arrangements of the organization. I'll go wherever the organization asks me to go."
"You brat." Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ruoming with a smile. He could see that Zhang Ruoming was so happy that he couldn't tell which way was north. How could the Statistics Department compare to the Finance Department? Anyone in their right mind would choose the Finance Department. Zhang Ruoming's reaction was expected.
This time, it's not as simple as transferring you to the Finance Department. I plan to let you work in the Treasury Department as the Deputy Section Chief.
How about it? Do you have the confidence to do this job well? Do you feel wronged? Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ruoming and said half-jokingly. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Ruoming was stunned. He was so happy just now. It was easy to imagine how Zhang Ruoming felt when he heard that he could take on a deputy position with real power.
Zhang Ruoming was stunned for a while. Seeing that Chen Xing kept looking at him, Zhang Ruoming suddenly came back to his senses. He nodded his head like a rattle drum. Not wronged, not wronged. It's already a high position.
You can work in the deputy position for now. I'll promote you in a few days. It all depends on whether you have the confidence to do this job well. Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ruoming and his face gradually became serious. He transferred Zhang Ruoming to the Finance Department to help his old classmate, but he also had his own purpose. The Finance Department couldn't do without his people. That was why Chen Xing thought of transferring his own people to an important position first. As for the future, he could plan it slowly. As a mayor, it wasn't difficult for him to promote a section chief. If he wanted to replace his own people with the Finance Department's director, that would be a difficult thing. The local people, including Ge Jian-ming, would probably jump out. Now that it was only a section chief, these people couldn't say anything.
As for transferring Zhang Ruoming to the Treasury Department, Chen Xing had also thought about it carefully. The Treasury Department could be said to be the most important department in the Finance Department. It was responsible for the city's financial fund allocation and management of the city's financial fund accounts. Chen Xing had undoubtedly planned to put Zhang Ruoming in the Treasury Department and promote him to the position of section chief after some time.
Zhang Ruoming was surprised one after another today. He guessed that Chen Xing must have something urgent to discuss with him since he came to see him so formally. But he didn't expect it to be such a good thing. Zhang Ruoming couldn't believe it himself. When Chen Xing became the mayor of Nanzhou and found out that Chen Xing was his college classmate, Chen Xing, Zhang Ruoming also thought that he might be rich one day. Just based on their relationship as classmates, Chen Xing should help him no matter what. But Zhang Ruoming didn't expect this day to come so soon. Moreover, Chen Xing was going to transfer him to the Finance Department, which was a department that many people racked their brains to get in. The treatment there was much better than in the Statistics Bureau.
"Chen Xing, don't worry. I will definitely do a good job." At this time, Zhang Ruoming's mood could no longer be described as excited. He was busy boasting. But when he saw Chen Xing's serious face, Zhang Ruoming's heart skipped a beat and his mind suddenly became clear. "Chen Xing, there must be a special purpose for you to ask me to go to the Finance Department, right?
The Treasury Department is a key department in the Finance Department. If you just get in, you will be under a lot of pressure. You must be mentally prepared. " Chen Xing didn't directly answer Zhang Ruoming's question, but his words indirectly reminded Zhang Ruoming.
"Chen Xing, don't worry. No matter how much pressure there is, I will be able to handle it." Zhang Ruoming thought to himself. His face also became serious. He couldn't let Chen Xing down when the time came.
"Don't be so nervous. Relax. I'm not asking you to climb a mountain of knives and dive into a sea of fire." Chen Xing smiled and relaxed the atmosphere. Since he had achieved his goal, Chen Xing didn't want to make his old classmate nervous, so he joked. "You're just a deputy section chief. Don't complain about me, your old classmate, and blame me for not promoting you in one go."
"Chen Xing, don't laugh at me. You saw it just now. I was so happy that I almost jumped up. Why would I complain? Besides, I wouldn't dare to do anything." Zhang Ruoming smiled. "It's not like you don't know me. I'm a person who is easily satisfied. To be honest, let alone being a deputy section chief, even if I'm transferred to another department and don't do anything, I will be satisfied."
"Contentment is happiness." Chen Xing smiled. People nowadays are like snakes trying to swallow an elephant. You must continue to maintain this attitude in the future. It's not that you can't have desires, but you must know how to satisfy them. If you don't know how to be satisfied, then your desires are like a bottomless pit that can swallow you whole in the end. As part of the system, we have to face all kinds of temptations and challenges, so we must have this kind of mentality. We must constantly remind ourselves not to lose ourselves in all kinds of temptations. Ruoming, you must especially remember this point. In the future, our relationship will inevitably be used by some people with ulterior motives.
Chen Xing purposely warned Zhang Ruoming. After all, they were old classmates, so Chen Xing didn't want to make it too obvious. However, it was necessary for him to warn Zhang Ruoming. In the future, more and more people would know that he and Zhang Ruoming were classmates. At that time, there would definitely be a lot of people who would try to get into Chen Xing's good books through Zhang Ruoming. If Zhang Ruoming didn't have a strong will, he would take this opportunity to make a fortune. That was something Chen Xing didn't want to see.
"Chen Xing, I will be vigilant all the time." Zhang Ruoming nodded seriously. He knew that Chen Xing was telling the truth. Not to mention the future, even now, his situation in the statistics bureau was very different from before. Even the director and deputy director of the bureau would take the initiative to greet him and speak to him politely. These changes were undoubtedly brought about by Chen Xing. It was because he knew Chen Xing that his status rose. These days, he even heard that the bureau was planning to promote him. Although it wasn't confirmed yet, the news was already out. The leader of the bureau wanted to use him to express his goodwill to Chen Xing. However, Zhang Ruoming himself wasn't too excited. There was no future in the statistics bureau. Even if he was promoted, Zhang Ruoming would be happy, but he wouldn't be as excited as he was now when he heard that he would be transferred to the finance department.
"Alright, it's good that you have the confidence to do your job well. I'm looking forward to it." Chen Xing smiled. "Go do your work and prepare yourself. The transfer order will be issued in two days. You have to hand over your work in the statistics bureau as soon as possible."
"Alright, Chen Xing, I'll be leaving now." Zhang Ruoming smiled and stood up. After leaving Chen Xing's office, the first thing Zhang Ruoming did was to take a deep breath. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold back the urge to shout out loud. After all these years of repression, Zhang Ruoming finally had an outlet to vent. He was eager to release his excitement and joy.
There was another person standing outside the office. It was the Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, Yang Tianqing. When Yang Tianqing saw Zhang Ruoming coming out of Chen Xing's office, he was stunned for a moment. Zhang Ruoming was a complete stranger to him. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Logically speaking, those who could enter the Mayor's office should have reached a certain level. However, he didn't know Zhang Ruoming. In his impression, there was no such young cadre among the main heads of the departments directly under the municipal government.
Yang Tianqing didn't know that Zhang Ruoming was only a director. When he saw Zhang Ruoming looking at him, he smiled and nodded in greeting. After all, Zhang Ruoming came out from Chen Xing's office. Although Yang Tianqing didn't know him, he didn't dare to be rude.
Zhang Ruoming instinctively nodded back. He didn't even know this person. However, he didn't think too much about it. Zhang Ruoming wanted to go back and share the good news with his wife, so he quickly left.
Director Yang, Mayor Chen invites you in. Huang Jianghua walked towards Yang Tianqing.
Yang Tianqing hurriedly nodded, trying hard to calm himself down. Only then did Yang Tianqing enter Chen Xing's office. Although he appeared calm on the surface, Yang Tianqing was sweating in his heart. The news of the executive meeting that just ended in the afternoon had already spread out. Deputy Mayor Zhang Xinjun was suddenly taken away by the people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the head of their bureau, Zhou Fangyu, was sent by Chen Xing to study at the Party School of the Provincial Party School. It would be a lie to say that Yang Tianqing was not nervous when Chen Xing called him over. On the way here, Yang Tianqing was still worried, afraid that he would be in trouble with Zhou Fangyu.
Usually, it was a good thing to study in the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, because it meant that one might make progress. Although it was not absolute, it was not a bad thing to study in the Party School. However, this time, everyone knew that Chen Xing was up to no good by asking Zhou Fangyu to study in the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee. The autumn cadre training course of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee had already started. Chen Xing must have used his connections to force Zhou Fangyu to go there. If one said that Chen Xing was preparing for Zhou Fangyu's progress, only a fool would think so.
Tianqing is here. Take a seat. Chen Xing stared at Yang Tianqing, who was walking in. His gaze made Yang Tianqing's forehead break out in cold sweat. He avoided Chen Xing's gaze and lowered his head, not daring to meet Chen Xing's eyes.
Mayor Chen.
I'll stand. I'll just stand. Yang Tianqing swallowed his saliva and his heart almost jumped out. This was the first time he had been called over by Chen Xing. He had never interacted with Chen Xing before. Chen Xing's way of addressing him sounded quite intimate. Yang Tianqing was so scared that his legs almost gave way. At this critical moment, when Chen Xing called him like this, Yang Tianqing felt that it was not intimate, but more like a life-threatening talisman.
Why, you don't even dare to sit? Chen Xing looked at Yang Tianqing with a faint smile.
No, no. Yang Tianqing laughed dryly. The smile on his face was extremely unnatural. He wanted to smile naturally, but he couldn't do it. After all, he was the closest to Zhou Fangyu in the police station. Everyone knew about their relationship. Zhou Fangyu had just been sent to study, and Chen Xing had called him over. It would be strange if he could smile comfortably.
Sit, do you want me to get up and ask you to sit down? Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Yang Tianqing.
I'll sit by myself, I'll sit by myself. Yang Tianqing tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face. Half of his butt was against the sofa, and he didn't dare to sit down at all. Chen Xing's next sentence made him jump up from the sofa again. He heard Chen Xing say, "Tianqing, I heard that you have a good relationship with Zhou Fangyu?
Mayor Chen, there's no such thing. Director Zhou and I are normal superiors and subordinates. Director Zhou is the leader and often has some work for me to do. I'm just the deputy, so I can't just ignore it. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Director Zhou and I are very close. In fact, there's nothing between us. It's just work contact. " Yang Tianqing hurriedly explained.
"I haven't even said anything about the two of you. Why are you so nervous?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
I'm afraid that you will misunderstand, Mayor Chen. I'm afraid that you will misunderstand. " Yang Tianqing smiled apologetically. Usually, he didn't repeat his words like this, but today, he was very nervous. At this moment, he couldn't wait to cut ties with Zhou Fangyu. Although Zhou Fangyu was only going to the Party School to study, Yang Tianqing didn't think highly of him at all. Going to the Party School to study was the first step, and the next step would be to give up his position. Yang Tianqing pretended to draw a line with Zhou Fangyu in front of Chen Xing, for fear that he would be implicated by Zhou Fangyu.
"Tianqing, as long as you are upright, there's no need to be afraid of being misunderstood. Don't you think so?"
"Yes, Mayor Chen, you're right. I'll keep it in mind." Yang Tianqing nodded desperately.
"Zhou Fangyu is going to the Party School to study. Tianqing, you and the other deputies in the bureau will take charge of the work of the Finance Bureau. You must ensure that the financial work of the whole city is carried out in an orderly manner. I have high hopes for you. During the period when Zhou Fangyu is not here, you will take charge of the work of the Finance Bureau." Chen Xing looked at Yang Tianqing and said.
Chen Xing's words truly shocked Yang Tianqing. Yang Tianqing stared blankly at Chen Xing, thinking that he had heard wrongly. So it turned out that Chen Xing wasn't here to settle the score with him. Had he been scaring himself all this while?
"Chen … Mayor Chen, Deputy Chief Ling is the executive Deputy Chief. When Chief Zhou is not here, he is the one in charge. I'm afraid …" Yang Tian said carefully. His meaning was self-evident. Ling Su was the second in command. When Zhou Fangyu was not here, it was not his turn to be in charge of the Finance Bureau. It was against the rules for Chen Xing to put him in charge of the Finance Bureau.
"Tianqing, was my meaning not clear enough just now? I'm a little disappointed in your comprehension. " Chen Xing glanced at Yang Tianqing.
Mayor Chen, you mean to let me … Yang Tianqing's eyes widened, and his eyes were filled with surprise. Just now, he was still worried, but now, it was the complete opposite. From shock to joy, Yang Tianqing's mood was like riding a roller coaster.
Chen Xing didn't say anything else. He had only drawn a pie in the sky for Yang Tianqing. He didn't say anything himself, nor did he promise anything. However, his words had undoubtedly stimulated Yang Tianqing's desire for power. Now, it was time to see how Yang Tianqing and Ling Su would fight.
Ling Su was promoted by Ge Jian-ming, so he could be seen as one of Ge Jian-ming's men. Chen Xing first sent Zhou Fangyu to the Party School, then pushed out a Deputy Chief who was on the same side as Zhou Fangyu to fight against Ling Su. Even if Ge Jian-ming knew that Chen Xing was the mastermind behind all of this, there was nothing he could do. Chen Xing had calculated every step of this step carefully. He suppressed Zhou Fangyu, then divided him, then roped him in. With this combination, Chen Xing didn't believe that Chen Xing wouldn't be able to get his hands into the Finance Bureau. Not only would Chen Xing have effective control over the Finance Bureau, but Chen Xing's prestige would also be built up.
Mayor Chen, don't worry. I'll definitely take on more work while Chief Zhou isn't here. Yang Tianqing looked as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He had already taken Chen Xing's words as the intention to promote him to the position of the Finance Bureau Chief. At this moment, Yang Tianqing didn't forget to express his loyalty to Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, please pay more attention to and guide the work of our bureau in the future.
I will. Chen Xing looked at Zhou Fangyu and smiled.
Zhou Fangyu saw Chen Xing's smile and smiled as well.
There's nothing else. Chen Xing realized that he had lost his composure. He wiped away his smile, stood up, and ordered Zhou Fangyu to leave.
Mayor Chen, I'll take my leave then. Yang Tianqing stood up tactfully.
Chen Xing nodded his head. As he watched Yang Tianqing leave, a hint of a smile curled up the corner of his lips.
