In the office of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming, Ge Jian-ming turned around and asked his secretary, Xu Wei. Chen Xing attended Yang Jian's sixtieth birthday party last night?
Yes. Xu Wei nodded. This news had already spread, so it was not surprising that Ge Jian-ming knew about it.
Chen Xing's thoughts were really hard to guess. Ge Jian-ming muttered to himself. Ge Jian-ming did not care about an old cadre like Yang Jian. He was just a deputy provincial cadre. Did he need to care about an old cadre who had retired to the second line and enjoyed the treatment of a deputy office? The answer was no. Moreover, he was a cadre from outside. He did not fit in with the local cadre. Although Yang Jian was inconspicuous, if one looked closely, he could be considered as a member of the local cadre. Ge Jian-ming would not care about such a person. To the people below him, Ge Jian-ming's position was transcendent.
Ge Jian-ming could not understand it at the moment. He could not be bothered to spend more time on it. As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he had plenty of things to do. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Xu Wei walked over to open the door. Seeing that it was the chief prosecutor, Cheng Rong Jiang, Xu Wei came to a realization. He nodded at the other party.
Xu Wei did not close the door. He walked in directly. The secretary, chief prosecutor Cheng is here.
Yes, invite him in. Ge Jianming nodded and continued to busy himself with his own matters.
Xu Wei received the order and returned to the door. He smiled and said, "Chief prosecutor, please come in."
Cheng Rong Jiang gave Xu Wei a smile. As the personal staff of Ge Jian-ming, secretaries were no doubt special. Xu Wei's rank was not high, so Cheng Rong Jiang did not dare to offend him.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Rong Jiang walked calmly into Ge Jian-ming's office. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually nervous. It was rare for Ge Jian-ming to ask him to come over. Therefore, it was not strange for him to look serious. In fact, he could guess why Ge Jian-ming asked him to come over. Because of this, Cheng Rong Jiang's mood became heavier. Walking to Ge Jian-ming's desk, Cheng Rong Jiang greeted him respectfully.
Yes. Ge Jian-ming responded softly. The sound didn't sound like it came from his mouth, but from his nostrils. He did not even lift his head. He was busy with his work and did not ask Cheng Rong Jiang to sit down. Cheng Rong Jiang looked at Ge Jian-ming's attitude and felt even more bitter.
Cheng Rongjiang felt even more bitter when he saw Ge Jianming's attitude. He was afraid that he would have to face a 'learning period' today as well. Who knew how long Ge Jianming was going to give him the cold shoulder? However, this also confirmed his previous guess that Ge Jianming had called him here because of the matter regarding Ling Su, the Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau. This made Cheng Rongjiang's already heavy mood even worse. He thought to himself, 'What I've been afraid of has come true. I can't avoid getting involved in the fight between the Secretary and the Mayor. But this was not something he wanted to happen.
Ge Jian-ming did not give Cheng Rong Jiang the cold shoulder for too long. After a few minutes of silence, Ge Jian-ming suddenly asked, "Comrade Cheng Jiang, is the Procuratorate investigating Comrade Ling Su?"
Ge Jian-ming's question was very direct. He went straight to the point and did not beat around the bush. Even though Cheng Rong Jiang was prepared, he was still taken aback by Ge Jian-ming's direct question. Looking directly into Ge Jian-ming's eyes, Cheng Rong Jiang quickly shifted his gaze to the side because Ge Jian-ming's gaze was a little intimidating. It was just like the old saying that a higher official could crush a person to death. Cheng Rong Jiang didn't dare to hide anything, so he nodded and answered honestly. Yes.
Is the Procuratorate too free with their work? Do they like to investigate anyone they catch? Ge Jian-ming stared at Cheng Rong Jiang. His words clearly expressed his dissatisfaction. Saying it like this in front of Cheng Rong Jiang was already very harsh. It was no wonder that Ge Jian-ming would have such an attitude. Everyone knew that Ling Su was transferred to the Finance Bureau by Ge Jian-ming. Even if there was a problem, the Municipal Procuratorate would have to consult him first if they wanted to investigate. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face to his position as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Now that the Procuratorate had really done so, it would be strange if Ge Jian-ming could be polite.
Secretary Ge, we received a report letter that listed a lot of evidence of Ling Su's crimes. That's why we started the investigation. Cheng Rong Jiang forced himself to explain. He didn't dare to say that Chen Xing was behind this. But then again, even if he didn't say it, Ge Jian-ming might still think that it was Chen Xing. But no matter what, he couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, if it got to Chen Xing, he would be in trouble. Since he was called over by Ge Jian-ming today, it was inevitable that he would be reprimanded. He might as well deal with it as he could.
You want to investigate our comrade just because of a report letter? Comrade Rong Jiang, allow me to say something impolite. Your Procuratorate's work is so sloppy. Are you responsible for doing this? Ge Jian-ming said coldly.
That report letter wasn't as ambiguous as a normal report letter. It was written in great detail. Based on our many years of experience, the content of the report letter is highly authentic. Cheng Rong Jiang replied to Ge Jian-ming. Ge Jian-ming hadn't been polite since he came in. It wasn't because of this sentence that he was being rude.
Is that so? Ge Jian-ming glared at Cheng Rong Jiang. A trace of anger flashed through his eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that the Procuratorate wasn't under the direct leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, he might have even removed Cheng Rong Jiang from his position. But even so, it wasn't like he couldn't do anything to Cheng Rong Jiang. The Party was in charge of everything. This saying wasn't just for show. As the Party Secretary, it wasn't like he couldn't deal with Cheng Rong Jiang.
Facing the angry Ge Jian-ming, Cheng Rong Jiang didn't dare to say anything more. He shut his mouth and sighed in his heart. What he had done might have offended Ge Jian-ming too much. If he had acted according to the situation and catered to Ge Jian-ming, things might not have been so bad. But that wasn't in line with his character.
We should trust our comrades more and be less suspicious. I don't care how far the Procuratorate is investigating. Stop it immediately. Ge Jian-ming looked at Cheng Rong Jiang. His strong and overbearing side was vividly displayed. Even if Chen Xing was behind this, so what?
Cheng Rong Jiang's mouth twitched when he heard Ge Jian-ming's words. As the city's chief prosecutor, he had become a mouse in the bellows. On one side was the mayor, and on the other side was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. What could he do as a chief prosecutor? When the immortals fought, the fish in the moat would be affected. Was there anything worse than this? Cheng Rong Jiang cursed in his heart. This was the only way he could vent his anger.
Coming out of Ge Jian-ming's office, Cheng Rong Jiang looked gloomy. No one would be in a good mood in such a situation. Cheng Rong Jiang's driver kept his mouth shut when he saw his leader's gloomy face. He was afraid that he would make his leader unhappy if he said too much.
Cheng Rong Jiang sat in the car and kept silent for a while. After a long time, he said, "Go to Changxiu Road."
The driver nodded. He knew that his leader was going to the Municipal Government, so he drove his own car and didn't say much. Cheng Rong Jiang was a very amiable person. He would occasionally joke with his close subordinates. As long as Cheng Rong Jiang didn't put on a serious face, he didn't have much respect for Cheng Rong Jiang. However, after working with Cheng Rong Jiang for a long time, he knew that when Cheng Rong Jiang's face was not good, he shouldn't speak carelessly. Otherwise, he would get himself into trouble.
The Municipal Government Building was located on Changxiu Road. It was newly built two years ago. There was a distance between it and the Municipal Party Committee. Sitting in the car, Cheng Rong Jiang rubbed his temples with a headache. Other than cursing in his heart to vent his emotions, Cheng Rong Jiang couldn't find any other way to relieve his emotions. He couldn't just go against Ge Jian-ming's office and go against Ge Jian-ming.
Cheng Rong Jiang wasn't that muddle-headed. Even if he was dissatisfied with Ge Jian-ming's domineering ways, he couldn't show it openly. Although the procuratorate was elected by the people's congress and supervised by the congress, it seemed that the law gave the procuratorate a lot of power. However, in reality, there were too many things that could be controlled by the procuratorate. The most realistic example was that the procuratorate was not under the control of the Municipal Government, but the Municipal Government could control the procuratorate. As long as the procuratorate's financial lifeline was controlled, they would have to listen to it obediently.
As for the Party Committee, it was needless to say. The Party led everything. Whose world was it? In this country, the Party was the most powerful. No matter what unit it was, they had to listen to the Party's command. If Ge Jian-ming really got angry, Ge Jian-ming, as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, could very well remove him from his position as the chief prosecutor. It wasn't impossible for Ge Jian-ming to do that.
Although Cheng Rong Jiang was dissatisfied with Ge Jian-ming, he didn't have a good impression of the young Mayor Chen either. Cheng Rong Jiang would never believe that the so-called report letter from the Municipal Letters and Calls Office was a coincidence. Chen Xing had purposely arranged this to force him to make a choice. And Chen Xing's ultimate goal was obviously to take down Ling Su, the second-in-command of the Finance Bureau. According to Cheng Rong Jiang's guess and judgment, the person who wrote the report letter was definitely someone from the Finance Bureau. Moreover, it was at least a middle or higher level officer. This made Cheng Rong Jiang secretly feel a chill in his heart. Political struggles were not only merciless, but they were also filled with invisible swords and blades. If one wasn't careful, he wouldn't even know how he died. Cheng Rong Jiang was also a little creeped out by Chen Xing's underhanded methods.
Sigh, when the leaders fight, we are the ones who suffer. At this moment, Cheng Rong Jiang could only sigh. At this moment, he thought of a popular song that perfectly matched his current mood. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Cheng Rong Jiang rushed to the Municipal Government. Chen Xing was also busy with his own little calculations in the Municipal Government. He had his secretary make preparations. In the next day or two, Chen Xing planned to visit the retired officers in the city. This was Chen Xing's second action after he went to attend Yang Jian's sixtieth birthday party last night to send a signal of goodwill.
There was no doubt that important officials in Nanzhou's officialdom had recently fallen one after another. This all happened after Chen Xing came to Nanzhou. Now, Chen Xing urgently needed to make up for his image. Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Xing didn't want to appear too rigid. Too rigid would easily break. Given the current situation, he needed to appropriately change some of his previous strategies.
After sending the secretary away, Sha Yuanbao's phone call coincidentally came in. Chen Xing happily picked up the phone. His tone was also casual. Chairman Sha, did you gain anything from these two days of investigation? I represent the majority of Nanzhou's citizens and urgently hope that you, the God of Wealth, will invest some money.
Mayor Chen, if I don't plan to invest in the future, I won't dare to come to Nanzhou. Sha Yuanbao joked with Chen Xing on the phone. Through this investment investigation group, his relationship with Chen Xing had some breakthroughs. Sha Yuanbao was confident that he would personally invite Chen Xing, so he didn't contact Chen Xing through Huang Minglai. Instead, he directly sent an invitation to Chen Xing. Mayor Chen, do you have time tonight to sit down together?
Chairman Sha's invitation, even if I have important social engagements, I have to decline. Chen Xing smiled and agreed.
Mayor Chen, if you have other important engagements, then you can go first. There's no need to be so polite between us. Don't delay Mayor Chen's important matters. Sha Yuanbao said with a smile. Between his words, he quietly pulled his relationship with Chen Xing closer.
If there's nothing else, Chairman Sha, then I'll see you tonight. Chen Xing smiled. He also wanted to talk to Sha Yuanbao about Watson Pharmaceuticals. Sha Yuanbao should have a good relationship with the boss of Watson Pharmaceuticals. Now that Watson Pharmaceuticals has taken a fancy to the Chinese herbal medicine resources in Xing Hua County and has the intention to invest in Xing Hua County, Chen Xing has to find a way to get Watson Pharmaceuticals to remove the word "intention" from the investment proposal. Xing Hua County's economy is backward. Every year, the amount of foreign investment is ranked at the bottom of the city. Chen Xing also hopes that Xing Hua County can develop.
For a mayor like Chen Xing, the whole city is like a game of chess. The investment investigation group brought by Sha Yuanbao doesn't necessarily have to invest in the urban area. As long as the investment scope is in Nanzhou, Chen Xing is happy to see it. If a backward county like Xing Hua County can get more investment, Chen Xing is even happier.
After sitting down for a while, secretary Huang Jianghua came in again. The mayor, Xing Hua County's Mayor Xu Qingnian, and the county's Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Chen Guomin are here to see you.
Oh? Chen Xing raised his head thoughtfully. These two people came from afar. Chen Xing pondered for a while and immediately guessed what they wanted. It must be the case of Dong Ruiming. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. Young people nowadays are really lawless. They dared to collude with the police to drug women in the police station. Fortunately, it was someone close to him who did this. If it was someone else, I'm afraid it would be a disaster.
Let them in. Chen Xing nodded at Huang Jianghua and glanced at the door. Suddenly, he saw Cheng Rongjiang's figure at the door. Chen Xing was stunned and immediately changed his words. Let Attorney General Cheng come in first. Huang Jianghua looked at the door and saw it was Cheng Rongjiang.
He took the order and walked out. Cheng Rongjiang, the Attorney General, was at the level of deputy director. Huang Jianghua was not surprised that Chen Xing wanted to see Cheng Rongjiang first. However, Huang Jianghua knew that Cheng Rongjiang's visit was not a trivial matter. As he followed Chen Xing, he also knew that the struggle between Chen Xing and that person in the Municipal Party Committee was being fought with the help of the Procuratorate. He didn't know whether the Procuratorate could handle it or what Cheng Rongjiang's real attitude was. He was also worried about his leader. Now that he and Chen Xing were one, he naturally hoped that Chen Xing could not be at a disadvantage in the struggle between him and that person in the Municipal Party Committee. The more authority Chen Xing had, the higher his status as a secretary would be.
Cheng Rongjiang, who had already walked to the door, saw two people waiting outside Chen Xing's office. It seemed that they also wanted to see Chen Xing. Cheng Rongjiang was not in the mood to see who they were. He saw that the door of Chen Xing's office was not closed. When Cheng Rongjiang was about to knock on the door symbolically and go in, he happened to see Huang Jianghua coming out. Huang Jianghua also gave Cheng Rongjiang a bright smile. "Attorney General Cheng, Mayor Chen invites you in first." After that, he smiled apologetically at Xu Qingnian and Chen Guomin. Although they came first, they still had to wait. The leader had the final say on who he wanted to see first.
"Comrade Cheng Rongjiang is here. Have a seat." Chen Xing stood up enthusiastically and personally invited Cheng Rongjiang to sit down.
Mayor Chen was too courteous. Cheng Rongjiang smiled helplessly. In the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the treatment was completely different. Ge Jian-ming left him hanging for a few minutes and made him stand and listen to the lecture. On the other hand, on Chen Xing's side, he was welcomed with a face as warm as the spring breeze. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth. However, at this moment, Cheng Rongjiang could not bring himself to be happy. Especially when he saw Chen Xing smiling so brightly. Cheng Rongjiang suddenly thought of a saying, "When a weasel pays a New Year's greeting to a chicken, he is up to no good."
Chen Xing noticed Cheng Rongjiang's expression and secretly frowned. However, he still wore a smile on his face. "Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, is there any progress on Ling Su's case? I think you came here for this as well.
Mayor Chen's eyes are sharp. Nothing can be hidden from you. " Cheng Rongjiang flattered Chen Xing and forced a smile on his face. He had already thought about how to bring this up to Chen Xing on the way here. Now that Chen Xing brought it up first, Cheng Rongjiang did not hesitate. "Mayor Chen, I suggest stopping Ling Su's case. What do you think, Mayor Chen?"
Stop? Chen Xing was stunned. He stared at Cheng Rongjiang. The smile on his face froze at first, then slowly returned to normal. He looked at Cheng Rongjiang with a smile and said, "Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, why do you suddenly have such a suggestion? Tell me what you think."
"What the f * ck do I have?" Cheng Rongjiang sighed in his heart.
Right now, he was holding onto the idea that if he couldn't afford to provoke them, he could afford to hide. He could only hope that Chen Xing wouldn't force him to investigate Ling Su anymore.
