Coming out of the restaurant where Lin Hong was, Chen Xing's mood was both light and heavy. He admired Lin Hong for giving up the property in Nanzhou, and felt gratified that Lin Hong could return to a peaceful life in the future. Although the two of them were on opposite sides at the beginning, they were now considered to be friends. Chen Xing was cold-blooded to his enemies, but to his friends, Chen Xing had always been righteous.
The words Lin Hong mentioned about Guan Jinhui were the reason why Chen Xing's mood was heavy. In the officialdom where people were deceiving each other, facts once again proved that there were many dark things that could not be imagined. Although Lin Hong said she could not produce 100% evidence, Chen Xing was still willing to believe Lin Hong's words, because the current Lin Hong had no reason to lie to him. Today, Lin Hong's words were not only a farewell, but also a kind reminder to him before they parted.
The investigation team led by Chang Shengjun had encountered many obstacles in the investigation in Nanzhou. The case was like a fog. Despite the seemingly active cooperation of the provincial and municipal public security organs, the progress made was limited. Chang Shengjun had also mentioned to Chen Xing that there was an invisible hand behind the scenes controlling everything. Even though they were using the name of the Ministry, they still encountered all kinds of invisible and untouchable obstacles in the process of solving the case.
In fact, this case had indirectly come to an end. The investigation team of the Ministry had left, and the case had been handed over to the Provincial Department. In Chen Xing's view, as time passed, some cases that had not yet been investigated would be left unsettled. Zhang Qingyang's suicide was a joyous event for some people. Too many crimes could be directly blamed on Zhang Qingyang. Anyway, the dead could not speak, let alone jump out of the coffin to defend themselves. Zhang Qingyang could become a scapegoat for many people. From this point of view, Zhang Qingyang's death was too valuable. His death could save many people.
Now that the case had been handed over to the Provincial Department, it also meant that Chen Xing's attention on the case had almost come to an end. It was impossible for him to criticize the Provincial Department. Moreover, he had already achieved his goal, so there was no need for him to spend more energy on this matter. This was what Chen Xing thought. Of course, the premise of Chen Xing's idea was that the Provincial Department's investigation would not disappoint him too much. After all, Guan Jinhui, the deputy governor and director of the Provincial Department, had a relationship with him.
Now it seemed that he had misunderstood a lot of things. What kind of person was Guan Jinhui?
With such thoughts, Chen Xing came out of the restaurant in a daze. If his secretary, Huang Jianghua, hadn't called him a few times, Chen Xing would have walked directly onto the road, forgetting that his car was parked in the parking lot outside the restaurant.
What was done was done. However, people's hearts were unpredictable. He had to be more careful in the future. After Chen Xing got into the car, he thought that it was impossible for him to ask Guan Jinhui, let alone to sound him out. It was better to pretend not to know something. Chen Xing was grateful for Lin Hong's kind reminder. However, Chen Xing did not think that Guan Jinhui would harm him.
Mayor, should we go back now or? Huang Jianghua asked Chen Xing in a low voice. The driver, Li Yong, was also waiting for Chen Xing's decision. If Chen Xing did not say anything, he did not know where to go.
I'll make a call first. After saying that, Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Longbo. He had looked for Xiao Longbo many times. Today, he must come out with Xiao Longbo.
The mobile phone rang for a while, but no one answered. Chen Xing's heart slightly tightened. If Xiao Longbo did not answer his call, there was nothing he could do. If he went to the Provincial Refining Company to stop him, he might not be able to. The headquarters of the Provincial Refining Company was in Nangang District, some distance from the city. Chen Xing thought that Xiao Longbo would not go back so soon.
In the end, Chen Xing's worries did not come true. Xiao Longbo answered his call. As soon as the phone was connected, Xiao Longbo apologized repeatedly. Mayor Chen, I'm sorry. It was too noisy. The mobile phone was in the bag, so he did not hear the sound for a while.
Mr. Xiao was a busy man, so it was understandable. Chen Xing appeared to be very patient. Mr. Xiao, you should have finished reporting to Governor Shun now. Where is Mr. Xiao now? It's almost lunchtime now. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can do me the honor and have a meal together.
Of course, I can't wait for Mayor Chen's invitation. I'm at Rongcheng Hotel now. Mayor Chen can come over directly. Xiao Longbo answered with a smile.
Chen Xing was very surprised. Xiao Longbo agreed so straightforwardly, which surprised him. He originally thought that it would take a lot of persuasion, but he might not succeed. Xiao Longbo was straightforward this time. Chen Xing felt a little strange, but it was a good thing. At least he had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Xiao Longbo, which was a good thing for Chen Xing.
He asked Li Yong to drive the car to Rongcheng Hotel, which was also a relatively famous five-star hotel in Nanzhou City. It was very close to the Provincial Finance Department. When Chen Xing arrived, Xiao Longbo was already in the box. When Chen Xing pushed the door and entered, he realized that there was another person in the box. He saw Xiao Longbo and a middle-aged man in military uniform talking and laughing. Seeing Chen Xing come in, both of them stood up to welcome him. Xiao Longbo pretended to say, "Why didn't Mayor Chen call when he was about to arrive? I could have gone downstairs to welcome him."
"Mr. Xiao is too polite. I can't afford to let Mr. Xiao go downstairs to welcome him." Chen Xing smiled and shook hands with Xiao Longbo gently. He glanced at the man in military uniform next to Xiao Longbo lightly. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he calmly exchanged greetings with Xiao Longbo.
"Mayor Chen, let me introduce to you. This is my cousin, Xiao Zhengjun, who is serving in the army." Xiao Longbo was very enthusiastic to introduce to Chen Xing.
"Nice to meet you." With Xiao Longbo's introduction, Chen Xing reached out his hand and shook hands with Xiao Zhengjun. He was guessing Xiao Longbo's behavior in his heart. He knew that he came over to talk with him alone, but Xiao Longbo brought an outsider with him. What did this mean? Did he not want to talk with him alone or something?
The three of them sat down. Because there was one more person present, and he guessed that Xiao Longbo did it on purpose, Chen Xing was a little angry in his heart. These days, Xiao Longbo deliberately found an excuse to avoid him. He even wondered why Xiao Longbo agreed so readily today. It turned out that Xiao Longbo deliberately brought another person here. Did Xiao Longbo think that he would not talk business in this way?
Chen Xing didn't know whether his guess was correct or not. But since he was here, Chen Xing had to talk with Xiao Longbo frankly. If Lianhua secretly colluded with Xing 'an City on the settlement of the petrochemical industry base, then Chen Xing had to teach Xiao Longbo a lesson. Don't think that Chen Xing couldn't do anything to him just because he was under the direct control of the Provincial government. If he really annoyed him, Chen Xing was also a person who would do anything.
When Xiao Longbo and his cousin Xiao Zhengjun were still talking about the interesting things in the army, Chen Xing casually asked, "Mr. Xiao, which army did you serve in?
Armed Police XX Army. In the army, Xiao Longbo was just fooling around, so this time he wanted to transfer back to his hometown. " Hearing Chen Xing's question, Xiao Zhengjun smiled and answered truthfully. He also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to transfer back to his hometown.
"Oh?" Chen Xing glanced at Xiao Zhengjun. Xiao Zhengjun was also wearing a military uniform with the rank of colonel. He was a solid cadre at the regimental level. Xiao Zhengjun was about 40 years old, so he should be doing well in the army. Huang Hai couldn't help but ask curiously, "Judging from your appearance, you should be doing well in the army. Why do you want to transfer back to your hometown?"
"I don't have any connections. I can't go up even if I want to. It's better to transfer back to my hometown. While I'm still young, I want to see if I can make some progress in my hometown." Xiao Zhengjun smiled.
"So that's how it is." Chen Xing nodded in relief and didn't say anything more. The information contained in Xiao Zhengjun's words was enough. As a cadre at the regimental level at his age, no one would believe that he didn't have any connections. However, Xiao Zhengjun wanted to transfer back to his hometown, which meant that his connections could only support him to this point. He couldn't go up any further. Instead of this, he might as well go back to his hometown.
But would it be better to go back to his hometown? Chen Xing curled his lips disapprovingly. When the cadres in the army transferred to the local area, they would be demoted and the possibility of getting a position with real power was not high. Xiao Zhengjun was a regimental cadre, but he was only equivalent to a divisional cadre in the local area. Even if he could get the treatment of a divisional cadre, it would be difficult for him to get a divisional position with real power. Not to mention a divisional leader, it would be difficult for him to get a deputy divisional leader position with real power. This was the current situation. Unless one had a strong connection behind him, otherwise, most of the cadres who transferred to civilian work would not be happy.
This was what Chen Xing was thinking. Suddenly, something flashed in his mind. Chen Xing looked at Xiao Longbo and then at Xiao Zhengjun. Chen Xing was startled. Did Xiao Longbo bring Xiao Zhengjun here just to wait for him?
Just as Chen Xinggang came up with this idea, sure enough, Xiao Longbo spoke up. "Mayor Chen, my cousin's family lives in Nanzhou City, so he wants to transfer to the local area. He also wants to stay in Nanzhou as much as possible. I wonder if Mayor Chen can help a little?
Want to transfer to Nanzhou? Chen Xing didn't expect Xiao Longbo to guess correctly. He pretended to be surprised as he looked at Xiao Longbo and said with a smile, "Chairman Xiao, with your connections in Nanzhou, why do you need to look for me? You can just do it yourself."
