Mayor Chen, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation. Cheng Quan chased after Chen Xing's footsteps. When he was about to reach the car, he suddenly quickened his pace and rushed ahead to open the door for Chen Xing.
Not to give me an explanation, but to give an explanation to the fruit seller who was beaten for no reason. Chen Xing stopped when he was about to get into the car. They helped the fruit seller pick up the fruits all over the ground. The fruit seller thanked them profusely and was about to leave with his own fruits. Chen Xing wanted to ask the driver to send him to the hospital for a check-up, but the fruit seller refused and said that he was fine. Chen Xing had to give up. Watching the fruit seller leave, Chen Xing also walked back.
Yes, yes, give him an explanation. Cheng Quan nodded in response.
Director Cheng, today's incident also reflects the situation where the law enforcement officers at the bottom of the hierarchy still commit crimes, enforce the law in a barbaric manner, and oppress the common people. I don't want to hear or see any similar negative reports in the future. Chen Xing looked at Cheng Quan coldly.
No, Mayor Chen, you can rest assured that we will strengthen the education of the law enforcement team. As for those low-quality assistants, we will resolutely dismiss them. We will never let something like this happen again. Cheng Quan was anxious to express his position in front of Chen Xing. He was afraid that he would be implicated this time, which would make Chen Xing have a bad impression of him.
Chen Xing nodded and went straight to the car. Song Zhi was faster than him and got into the car first. Chen Xing laughed and scolded him. Aren't you afraid that I will kick you out of the car? How dare you make sarcastic remarks on the side.
Mayor, I didn't make sarcastic remarks. What I said just now was the truth. Besides, the matter is right in front of us.
On the side of the road, Cheng Quan and Cao Xiaobei watched Chen Xing's car leave. Not far away, several assistants were looking in their direction. Cheng Quan had been smiling in front of Chen Xing, but now his face was already livid. The branch director Cao Xiaobei beside him also did not dare to say a word. Cao Xiaobei knew that this matter could be big or small depending on how serious Chen Xing was. If Chen Xing was just putting on a show, then this matter would not be a big deal. But looking at Chen Xing's attitude just now and some of the rumors about the new mayor, if this matter was not seriously investigated, he was afraid that there would really be trouble.
"Old Cao, we're a family, so let's not talk too much. This happened in your jurisdiction, so you should handle it as you see fit. I hope that the results of your handling will satisfy Mayor Chen." Cheng Quan turned to Cao Xiaobei and said.
Chief Cheng, don't worry, I promise that you and Mayor Chen will be satisfied. Cao Xiaobei hurriedly nodded. He actually had a good relationship with Cheng Quan in private. But looking at Cheng Quan's business-like attitude at this moment, Cao Xiaobei also knew Cheng Quan's attitude. He would definitely not be lenient in investigating this matter. Needless to say, those assistants would be fired directly. If there were official personnel involved in this matter, they would also be fired. Cao Xiaobei already had a plan in mind.
I trust you to handle this matter. Cheng Quan's expression softened a little, and he said, "It's just a small matter, but since Mayor Chen saw it, we have to treat it as a big deal. From tomorrow onwards, the Municipal Bureau will have to carry out an internal investigation from top to bottom. If there are any signs of uncivilized law enforcement, we have to resolutely correct and criticize them. We have to strengthen the education of all the external assistants, especially your branch office, you have to focus more on this. I'll help you contact the Municipal TV station and try to make this into a news report and broadcast it on TV. At the very least, we have to let Mayor Chen know that we have taken concrete actions.
Yes, Chief Cheng, you have thought it through thoroughly. Cao Xiaobei flattered Cheng Quan. Chief Cheng, we can only let you worry about our matters.
It's okay to worry about it. The key is to restore Mayor Chen's impression of us. Cheng Quan said impatiently.
Chief Cheng, then do you think we should pay a visit to the small trafficker's house and send some consolation money over? Cao Xiaobei rolled his eyes and said.
Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this matter. Mayor Chen might even call him back. Yes, it's necessary to pay a visit. Yes, it's necessary to send some consolation money. Cheng Quan nodded in agreement. When he turned his head and inadvertently saw those assistants, Cheng Quan was furious. He curled his lips and said, "Old Cao, don't let me see those assistants again."
In the car, Chen Xing said to Song Zhi, "Little Song, your view of the problem is a little one-sided. Didn't your teacher teach you to look at the problem with a comprehensive view?
I used to skip classes every two or three days. I don't know what the teacher teaches. Don't talk to me with such philosophical words. I don't understand. " Song Zhi smiled, and a trace of slyness flashed in her eyes.
Is that so? It seems that you haven't passed puberty yet. You're still a little rebellious and don't like being lectured by others. That's right. All little girls who haven't grown up are like this.
You're the one who hasn't grown up. I'm already 22 years old. If this was in ancient times, I would be the mother of many children. Song Zhi glared at Chen Xing. She hated Chen Xing calling her a child the most. At this moment, she almost pounced on him with her fangs and claws.
Alright, I'll stop joking with you. Chen Xing waved his hand, and his face became serious. Power is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can benefit the people. There are some black sheep among our cadres, but not all of them are like what you said. There is one thing you must understand. In the system, some cadres want to do something practical for the people, but they can't do it just because they want to. Our country's current situation is quite complicated. It's already very great to say some words, but if you want to put them into practice, I'm afraid that the people behind you have to work hard. "
Chen Xing sighed as he spoke. The leader of the central government had been calling for reform to break the distribution of interests, so that the people could actually participate in the distribution of the cake. However, he didn't take any actual actions. Many people began to doubt him. He was all talk and no action. People doubted that the leader of the central government was only good at talking. But in fact, it was already very difficult for him to say these words. With the current national situation and system, it was not so easy to carry out a deeper reform.
…
In the Provincial Department, the Deputy Governor and the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Guan Jinhui, was listening to the report of Zheng Guangfu's case by Hou Jianqiang, the captain of the Criminal Police Corps. Since Lu Ming was transferred to the Nanzhou Municipal Bureau as the Deputy Director, Hou Jianqiang was in charge of this case. He cooperated with the investigation team from the Ministry to investigate Zheng Guangfu's case. The case had passed for some time. Today, Guan Jinhui specially asked Hou Jianqiang to report on the progress. Obviously, he was very concerned about this case.
The person who poisoned Zheng Guangfu had not been found out? Guan Jinhui frowned slightly.
Zheng Guangfu spent most of his time in the Haitian Hotel, but there were too many people going in and out. Even if Zheng Guangfu stayed on the fifth floor, there were still many people coming and going. He received people and received guests on the fifth floor. Although the people who went in and out were all acquaintances of him, he had too many contacts. There were people from all walks of life, which made the investigation difficult. Hou Jianqiang told the truth. This case was led by the people from the Ministry, and they were just assisting from the side.
Zheng Guangfu was dead, and there was nothing they could do even if they couldn't find out the truth. They couldn't possibly waste all the police force on this case. Did you hear what Chang Zhijian said? When will the people from the Ministry leave?
This was not clear. They didn't seem to have a clear purpose. They just wanted to investigate Zheng Guangfu's case further, and they didn't say when they would leave. Hou Jianqiang shook his head.
This matter was serious. Guan Jinhui slammed the table. That Zheng Guangfu was really a scourge. So many people couldn't rest because of him.
Who said it wasn't? Hou Jianqiang nodded in agreement.
Sigh, it's not a good idea for the investigation team from the Ministry to stay here. The higher-ups are obviously doubting our ability to solve cases. I have to react later. Guan Jinhui seemed to be talking to himself. He raised his head and looked at Hou Jianqiang. Jianqiang, you go and do your work first. You have to pay more attention to the investigation team from the Ministry. Zheng Guangfu's case has too much influence, and it involves too many people. Although the Ministry is leading the investigation, we can't be too passive.
Department Guan, I know what to do. Hou Jianqiang said.
It's good that you know. Guan Jinhui nodded and waved his hand. He had already asked them to leave.
…
Nanzhou Airport. Lin Qing carried her small suitcase and got off the plane. After staying in America for more than twenty days, she was back again. Looking at the slightly unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar sky, Lin Qing took a deep breath. She looked like she was hugging the blue sky, which meant that she, Lin Qing, was back again.
Mayor Chen, are you free for dinner tonight? Lin Qing immediately called Chen Xing.
You're back in China? Chen Xing was surprised.
Why? Hearing that I'm back, Mayor Chen seems surprised?
That's not it. I'm just a little surprised. Chen Xing hid the surprise in his heart.
Then, is Mayor Chen free tonight? I called Mayor Chen to make an appointment the moment I got off the plane. Mayor Chen, you have to do me the honor, right? Lin Qing smiled.
Since Miss Lin invited me, I definitely have to go. Chen Xing smiled. He felt a little surprised. Lin Qing was the one who pulled the strings for Li Haocheng's overseas visit. While Li Haocheng was staying abroad, Lin Qing came back as if nothing had happened. Chen Xing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't suspect anything. There was always a doubt in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.
Which beautiful woman called? Look at how you agreed so quickly. Song Zhi looked at Chen Xing and smiled. I have to help Sister Ningning keep a close eye on her, in case you flirt with other girls here.
Cough, what are you talking about? You're so young, but you're so mischievous. Believe it or not, I'll really throw you on the road. Chen Xing looked at Song Zhi helplessly. It was useless to keep a straight face with this girl. She was heartless and wasn't afraid of him at all.
I didn't say anything. You're the one who's guilty. Besides, I did hear a girl's voice just now. My ears are very sensitive. Song Zhi smiled proudly. Great Mayor Chen, how about I go for a free meal tonight?
Go away. Chen Xing smiled and glared at Song Zhi. He said to Huang Jianghua in front of him, "Xiao Chen, take her to the hotel first and help her book a room.
Hey, you're leaving me at the hotel so soon? I haven't even played yet. " Song Zhi said anxiously.
You have time to play, but I have to work. I don't have time to play with you. " Chen Xing looked at Song Zhi's anxious look and shook his head in amusement. I'll let Xiao Li be your full-time driver in the afternoon. You can go wherever you want to go. If you don't know the place, you can ask him. He's very familiar with Nanzhou and can be your tour guide. How about it? I'm being nice to you, right?
This is my first time in Nanzhou. You, as the host, don't treat your guests well. You actually let someone else entertain you. Song Zhi muttered in dissatisfaction.
Other people don't even get this treatment. You let Xiao Li be your full-time driver. You don't know how lucky you are. Other people can't even ask for this treatment. Chen Xing smiled and habitually knocked Song Zhi's head. Song Zhi had already tilted his head to the side reflexively. He glared at Chen Xing like an angry lioness.
If I'm really stupid in the future, I'll settle the score with you. Song Zhi said angrily.
I'm helping you to understand. You won't be stupid if you knock. Chen Xing put on a deadpan expression and wanted to tease the other party a bit more. However, he was mindful of the fact that his chauffeur and secretary were still in front of him. In any case, he had to pay attention to his image, so Chen Xing gave up and said to Li Yong, "Little Li, take her around in the afternoon. Take her to any fun places in Nanzhou.
Okay, speaking of those attractions, I'm most familiar with them. " Li Yong said with a smile.
…
At night, Chen Xing arrived at the hotel as promised. When Chen Xing walked into the private room, he saw a slender figure. Lin Qing turned around when she heard the door open. She was dressed in a long black gown that accentuated her tall and graceful figure. It was obvious that Lin Qing had purposely dressed up. It was just a private meeting with Chen Xing, but she was dressed in a formal evening gown.
Sorry to keep Miss Lin waiting. Chen Xing looked at the time. He wasn't late. It seemed that Lin Qing had arrived a while earlier.
If I was waiting for someone else, I might think it was a waste of time. But since I'm waiting for Mayor Chen, I think it's an honor. Lin Qing smiled elegantly. Her words and actions had an air of calmness and elegance. She was like an alluring temptress. Regardless of whether she was a prostitute in a brothel or an elegant and noble high-ranking member of a multinational corporation, Lin Qing performed to the extreme.
That's right, Miss Lin's words always make people happy. Chen Xing smiled faintly.
I'm just telling the truth. If someone wants to treat Mayor Chen to a meal, they might not even be able to get their wish even if they line up and make an appointment. But Mayor Chen is giving me face. I'm extremely honored. Lin Qing smiled and pulled out a chair for Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, please sit down.
Chen Xing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. Seeing Lin Qing sit down beside him, Chen Xing smelled her alluring fragrance. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Such a woman could really make a man's heart race. Luckily, Chen Xing had something on his mind. He quickly shifted his attention away from Lin Qing and asked calmly, "Miss Lin, have you seen Li Haocheng while you were abroad?"
Deputy Mayor Li? Lin Qing's eyes widened in surprise. "Mayor Chen? How could I have seen Deputy Mayor Li? After he led a group to visit our headquarters, I didn't know much about his schedule. Although most of the activities were arranged by our company, I didn't see Deputy Mayor Li afterward. I thought he would return to China after the trip. Why? Hearing Mayor Chen's tone, does it mean that Deputy Mayor Li hasn't returned yet?"
Chen Xing listened to Lin Qing's words and frowned slightly. Lin Qing's words were flawless. Chen Xing couldn't judge whether Lin Qing's words were true or not. He looked at Lin Qing deeply and said expressionlessly, "Li Haocheng hasn't returned yet. I thought Miss Lin would know about it.
How would I know? I don't have any special relationship with Deputy Mayor Li. If he hasn't returned, why would he contact me? " Lin Qing shook her head and said in surprise. "Mayor Chen and Deputy Mayor Li staying abroad should be a big matter. Why didn't any domestic media report about it?"
Before the matter was cleared up, the media couldn't report it recklessly. Chen Xing said perfunctorily. It wasn't that the media didn't want to report it, but the Publicity Department didn't allow it. The government would definitely try to cover up this kind of matter as much as possible. Especially since Li Haocheng couldn't be considered to have absconded to avoid punishment, because Li Haocheng's case was still under investigation by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection hadn't come to a conclusion yet. Moreover, Li Haocheng explained that he had personal matters to deal with. The best response for the domestic government was naturally to turn a blind eye to this. They couldn't argue with Li Haocheng about this first. They should let him put his mind at ease and think about it when he returned to the country.
To put it bluntly, the current goal was to trick the person back first. As long as the person came back, there would be time to settle accounts later, and that would also eliminate the impact as much as possible. It had to be known that Nanzhou was a provincial capital city, and Li Haocheng was also the Deputy Mayor. Such a heavyweight Deputy Office cadre directly stayed abroad after going abroad for an investigation because of a violation of laws and regulations. The impact caused by this could no longer be described as bad. Li Haocheng could be free and unfettered, but the Nanzhou officials would lose face abroad.
"Oh, is that so? But this is also very unusual. I only found out that Deputy Mayor Li is still abroad after hearing it from you, Mayor Chen. No wonder. I said I called Deputy Mayor Li, but why couldn't I get through to his phone?" Lin Qing looked like she suddenly understood, but then she looked confused. But that didn't make sense. Deputy Mayor Li's visa should have expired. How could he still be abroad? This shouldn't be. Deputy Mayor Li is a senior official. He should know that this is not allowed by the regulations.
Let's not talk about this. Miss Lin, I've made you wait for a long time. Let's eat something, or else my stomach is growling. Chen Xing smiled. For the time being, he couldn't get any information from Lin Qing. Chen Xing obviously didn't want to talk about Li Haocheng's matter. This matter was not suitable to be told to others.
It's my negligence. It's my fault for letting Mayor Chen go hungry. Lin Qing smiled apologetically. She hurriedly called the waiter in and ordered a few of the hotel's specialties.
How long does Boss Lin plan to stay in Nanzhou this time? Chen Xing asked casually.
I'm afraid I'll have to stay for a long time. I'll be responsible for the preparation of our group's bank in Nanzhou City, so I'll have to stay in Nanzhou for a long time. Lin Qing gently combed her hair, revealing a hint of charm naturally. Mayor Chen, I'll have to rely on you in the future. If we encounter any difficulties in our preparation, Mayor Chen, you can't just stand by and watch.
Boss Lin, don't worry. Not only our city, but even the province attaches great importance to your group's investment. We welcome foreign banks to invest in our city. Your group is strong and is an internationally renowned financial group. Our city can't wait to treat you like a boss. If we can help you solve any difficulties, we'll definitely give you the green light.
Chen Xing said solemnly. Gray Group is one of the top financial services groups in the world. It's involved in commercial banking, insurance, funds, investment banking, securities, and other financial services. Nanzhou City attaches great importance to the Gray Group's Nanzhou branch of Gray Bank. Needless to say, Chen Xing would definitely support it.
With Mayor Chen's words, I'm relieved. Lin Qing smiled.
I remember that day at the signing ceremony, Deputy Governor Guan said that on the day of the opening of your bank, he would personally attend. Since the leaders of the province also attach such importance to it, our city wouldn't dare to drag you down. Chen Xing said half-jokingly. He believed that during the opening ceremony, Guan Zhenming would definitely come. Perhaps even Governor Shun Baolai might come. The province had been working hard to improve Nanzhou City's financial status in the south. An international financial group like Gray Group entering Nanzhou would undoubtedly play a great role in promoting the development of Nanzhou City's financial services industry. It would also improve Nanzhou City's financial status. The leaders of the province couldn't be overestimated.
With the strong support of your government, I believe we'll definitely be able to cooperate happily in the future. Lin Qing smiled. This will be a win-win cooperation. Mayor Chen, shouldn't we also have a toast?
As Lin Qing spoke, she opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for Chen Xing.
