The sun hung high in the sky. It was another clear and bright day. The warm sunlight shone on the body, diluting the chill of late autumn. In the autumn and winter season of the Southern Continent, wearing a long sleeve and a thin jacket on the outside was more than enough to deal with the arrival of winter. Young men with strong bodies only needed to wear a long sleeve.
Chen Xing was wearing black trousers and a long-sleeved white shirt. This was just an ordinary work outfit. No one would have thought that among the white shirts Chen Xing often wore, there was no lack of 20 to 30 yuan worth of cheap goods bought from street stalls. At this moment, the one Chen Xing was wearing was a 20 to 30 yuan worth of street stalls. Of course, Chen Xing did not need to deliberately flaunt anything in his clothes. He could wear street stalls that cost tens of yuan. He could also wear the high-end shirts that Zhang Ningning bought for him that cost hundreds or thousands. Chen Xing had never deliberately pursued dressing up. As long as it looked fresh and clean, it was fine.
There was another large group of people surrounding Chen Xing. Many of them were old cadres who wore coats to keep out the cold. Accompanying Chen Xing was the secretary general of the Municipal Government, Jiang Bingxuan. At the same time, there were also the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, the deputy chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, and other municipal leaders. The director of the Municipal Health Bureau, Zeng Gaoqiang, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Zeng Ping, and the director of the Public Utilities Bureau, Zhao Mingcheng.
Chen Xing was surrounded by a large group of people. Naturally, they were not crowding around to make an ostentatious scene. Instead, they were inspecting the municipal construction situation and the urban environmental sanitation of the city.
Among the heads of several bureaus, Zeng Ping was the proudest. Zeng Ping had been waiting outside Chen Xing's office since 8 o'clock this morning. It was not until Chen Xing arrived that Zeng Ping personally handed the preliminary evaluation results of the bureau on the main urban area of Nanzhou and several major river treatment projects around the city to Chen Xing's desk. The current rough estimate was that the investment would be at least 1.8 billion yuan to improve the water quality of all the polluted rivers to Class V, and this was only a conservative estimate.
When the people in Zeng Ping's organization bureau made this evaluation plan, there was no doubt that they were very cautious. They conformed to the rules, and no exaggeration was allowed. Since the director Zeng Ping had spoken, the people under him were naturally cautious. Therefore, this figure of 1.8 billion was not much of an exaggeration. The reason why Zeng Ping did this was because he was afraid that the amount would be too large and increase the difficulty of the city's approval. At that time, he would cry to death. As long as the money could be allocated, no matter how conservative this figure was, with 1.8 billion yuan, the days of the Environmental Protection Bureau would be much better.
And Chen Xing's attitude undoubtedly made Zeng Ping very happy. No matter how Zeng Ping looked at this young mayor, he was now very pleasing to the eye. Because Chen Xing had stated that in next year's budget, the city's finance would give priority to this aspect. He also asked Zeng Ping to include this pollution treatment project in next year's budget for the Environmental Protection Bureau and submit it to the finance bureau.
With Chen Xing's words, Zeng Ping was obviously satisfied. He could see that Chen Xing was still very enthusiastic about this matter and would definitely try his best to get this budget approved. Zeng Ping had no reason to be unhappy. Whether Chen Xing really wanted to do something practical or to fight for a good reputation for himself, Zeng Ping was not in the mood to pay attention to it. He only knew one thing: Chen Xing, the mayor, focused on environmental protection. Then his Environmental Protection Bureau would be popular in the future.
This Nantang River used to raise generations of Nanzhou people. Now, because of the development of urbanization, it has suffered such serious pollution and damage. We, who are paid by the people, are all responsible.
Chen Xing leaned against the railing and looked down. Below was a tributary of Nantang River into the main city. The river water was the same as ordinary sewage, muddy and smelly. It was only a little better than the river water polluted by chemicals. Chen Xing did not know what Nantang River looked like in the past. Perhaps even Zeng Ping, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, had no impression of it. Urbanization had been going on for 20 or 30 years. Since the reform and opening up, the development of the city had been changing day by day. From then on, the Nantang River began to be polluted. Zeng Ping really had no impression of the Nantang River from 10 or 20 years ago. At that time, he was working in a county city.
Jiang Bingxuan stood quietly next to Chen Xing. As the secretary general, he seemed to be very low-key, so low-key that people could ignore his existence. Even the deputy director of the office, Xiao Yuanqing, was more eye-catching than him. As for Xiao Yuanqing's position, it was clear to the people present that Xiao Yuanqing was more popular than Jiang Bingxuan in front of Chen Xing. It was hard to say whether Jiang Bingxuan could be the secretary general or not. The news about Li Haocheng had spread quietly among the cadres in the city. Many people knew that Jiang Bingxuan and Li Haocheng were close. It could be said that Jiang Bingxuan's future was uncertain.
Many residents of the residential areas on both sides of the river discharge their domestic waste directly into the river. It was difficult to stop them even if we wanted to. Zeng Ping smiled bitterly.
"Since we want to treat it, we can't treat it while polluting it. You treat the river here, and the waste water on the side should continue to be discharged. What's the use of treating it like this? I don't want to know what methods the Environmental Protection Bureau will use to solve the problem. I only want to see the results." Chen Xing glanced at Zeng Ping. His eyes moved away from Zeng Ping and swept around the faces of the others. Those who were seen by Chen Xing would involuntarily lower their heads. No matter whether they admitted it or not, Chen Xing, the young mayor's eyes were really sharp.
When Chen Xing's eyes swept across Ceng Gaoqiang's face, a trace of cold light flashed across his eyes. The people around him didn't notice it at all, not even Ceng Gaoqiang himself. He didn't lower his head because of Chen Xing's gaze, but he was not listening to Chen Xing at the moment. He was absent-minded. Anyway, it was none of his business. Ceng Gaoqiang held the attitude that it was none of his business, so he didn't pay much attention.
On the way here, Ceng Gaoqiang heard Chen Xing saying that leaders should think more from the perspective of the people, be more patient and care for the people, and so on. Ceng Gaoqiang began to criticize him in his heart. He thought that this mayor was boasting and putting on a show again. He only knew how to show an image of being close to the people and being honest in front of the public, but he didn't know what kind of person he was. Ceng Gaoqiang criticized Chen Xing in his heart, but he didn't feel any pressure at all. He was protected by his brother-in-law, so he was not afraid of Chen Xing at all. It was just that he didn't need to deliberately make enemies with Chen Xing. In the officialdom, the way of dealing with things was very important. If Chen Xing didn't put his hands into his territory, there was no need for him to compete with Chen Xing.
…
In the Jindu Hotel, Chen Xing, who had finished his inspection during the day, was sitting and eating with He Li, Chu Rong, and Jiang Wan. There were only four of them in the room, and Chen Xing was the only man. Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing went to a branch of the Jindu Hotel for an inspection, so they were not here. Chen Xing was alone, and there were three women with their own characteristics sitting next to him, which really made Chen Xing feel a little uncomfortable. Just now, Lu Xiaojing's assistant, Tan Fang, looked at him strangely. Chen Xing knew that he was afraid that he was regarded as a lecherous mayor.
Today, he specially waited for that guy surnamed Ma to come, but he didn't come. It was really strange. He suffered such a big loss last night, so there was no reason for him to be a coward. He Li said carelessly. After waiting for a whole day, Miss He was obviously unhappy. She thought that there would be a good show today, but she didn't expect that after sitting at the door of Jiang Wan's restaurant for a whole day, Ma Jiang and his people didn't show up, which made He Li unhappy.
If he didn't show up today, maybe he would show up tomorrow. Chu Rong said with a smile. Based on her understanding of men like Ma Jiang, even if he didn't suffer such a big loss, he definitely wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. Since he liked Jiang Wan, he wouldn't give up easily, unless Jiang Wan simply didn't open the restaurant. Ma Jiang had no other means, so he couldn't do anything to Jiang Wan.
This was hard to say. Normally, when he woke up today, he should have angrily brought his people to settle the score with Jiang Wan, but he didn't come. This was really strange. He Li shook his head and thought about all kinds of possibilities. Finally, his eyes fell on Chen Xing. Could it be that he recognized Chen Xing last night?
How could it be possible? He was so drunk, it would be strange if he could recognize him. Chu Rong objected with a smile. If he could recognize him, he would have a different reaction last night.
Well, Ma Jiang probably didn't recognize him. It was late at night, and he was drunk, so it was impossible for him to see clearly. Jiang Wan agreed with Chu Rong. She had been on tenterhooks the whole day. Although she had Chen Xing's support, she was used to being bullied by Ma Jiang. She was also worried that Chen Xing wouldn't show up in time. Jiang Wan still felt a little guilty.
If he didn't show up today, he might show up tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. You just have to wait patiently. I believe he will definitely show up. Chen Xing said with a smile. If he didn't show up, it could only be said that the sun rose from the west.
I hope the sun rises normally from the east. Otherwise, there won't be a good show to watch. He Li's attitude was that he wanted to see the world in chaos. His face was full of smiles, waiting to see a good show.
If he didn't show up, this matter wouldn't be over so easily. Chen Xing muttered in his heart. He was waiting to find an excuse to deal with Ceng Gaoqiang, the director of the Health Bureau. Even without Ma Jiang's matter, he would find another excuse.
While Chen Xing was eating with He Li and the other women, in the Nanzhou Hotel, Wang Zheng, who had just been transferred to Xing 'an City as the executive deputy mayor, came to the provincial capital again today. At this moment, Wang Zheng and the secretary-general of the Provincial government, Liao Quanjin, were eating together. It had to be said that Wang Zheng's identity helped him a lot. He invited Liao Quanjin to eat, and Liao Quanjin readily agreed, giving him enough face. If it wasn't because Wang Zheng's father was the deputy premier, no one would believe it. Wang Zheng was just an executive deputy mayor, and Liao Quanjin really didn't care about him.
Wang Zheng invited Liao Quanjin out for a meal. It was nothing more than a whim. He was trying to sound out Liao Quanjin. The two chatted while eating. After some trivial gossip, Wang Zheng got to the point. Wang Zheng said, "Secretary-General Liao, the provincial government wants to plan the petrochemical base. Do you think there is a possibility of change?
What does Mayor Wang think? " Liao Quanjin looked at Wang Zheng in surprise. He didn't understand what Wang Zheng meant. It was not a secret that the provincial government wanted to build a petrochemical industrial base on the basis of the Nanzhou City Petrochemical Industrial Zone. Now they just had to wait for the official document to be issued. Liao Quanjin was obviously confused by Wang Zheng's question.
Secretary-General Liao, what do you think of Xing 'an City? We also have a port in Xing 'an City, and the petrochemical industry has a certain foundation. If the provincial government wants to build the petrochemical industrial base in Xing' an City, it seems to be fine. What do you think, Secretary-General Liao? Wang Zheng said with a smile. The meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.
Liao Quanjin didn't expect Wang Zheng to speak so straightforwardly. He looked at Wang Zheng in a daze. Liao Quanjin couldn't wrap his head around it. After a while, Liao Quanjin smiled and said, "Mayor Wang, the provincial government has repeatedly discussed where to build the petrochemical industrial base and finally decided to expand it on the basis of the Nanzhou Petrochemical Industrial Zone. The only thing left is for the official document to be issued. I'm afraid it won't be easy to change it at this time.
Secretary-General Liao, I don't think so. What's the saying? As long as the official document hasn't been issued, everything has the possibility of change. Secretary-General Liao, don't you think so? " Wang Zheng said with a smile.
Liao Quanjin hesitated for a moment. Wang Zheng's topic was too sudden. Liao Quanjin wasn't prepared at all. He didn't know what to answer Wang Zheng, but he could see that Wang Zheng had his eyes on the petrochemical industrial base.
Wang Zheng was in a hurry to make a political achievement. Liao Quanjin quietly glanced at Wang Zheng and thought to himself.
