You're just a businessman. How can you be a tyrant in Xing Hua County? You're just the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Director of the Public Security Bureau. How dare you say such things in front of me? Chen Xing glared at Xu Qingnian and Chen Guomin angrily. If Chen Guomin's attitude was not decent, Chen Xing would have picked up a cup and poured it on Chen Guomin's face.
Chen Guomin opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but in the end, he gave up on the idea. Chen Xing was in a fit of anger, so it was better for him to obediently endure the scolding. The more he tried to defend himself, the more displeased Chen Xing would be. It was better for him to remain silent. Moreover, if he really wanted to defend himself, he really did not have the confidence to do so.
Chen Xing's scolding also made Xu Qingnian keep quiet. Although he was in his forties or fifties, he was older than Chen Xing by more than ten or twenty years. But so what? The officialdom was a place with a strict hierarchy. No matter how young Chen Xing was, as long as Chen Xing was the mayor, he had to deal with him carefully and respectfully. He did not have the background to go against Chen Xing. Otherwise, he would not want to take this opportunity to get close to Chen Xing and see if he could make trouble for Ye Kaiyun.
You can leave now. Come back next time. I hope to hear a satisfactory result. Chen Xing stared at Xu Qingnian and Chen Guomin and unceremoniously asked them to leave. As for what they said about some cadres secretly obstructing the investigation, Chen Xing did not even bother to pay attention to it. If they really wanted to work hard to solve this case, Chen Xing did not believe that they could not do it. The key was whether they were willing to be ruthless. Now that the case had not been solved, they were in a hurry to ask for his support. Chen Xing would not let them get what they wanted. If they wanted to get his support and favor, they had to show some courage.
Xu Qingnian and Chen Guomin looked at each other. Before they came, they had thought of all kinds of possibilities, but they did not expect such a bad result. Originally, they thought that the case involved Chen Xing's friends, and Chen Xing was also one of the parties involved. If they came to Chen Xing's office to complain, they would definitely make Chen Xing furious and extremely dissatisfied with those "individual" officials who dared to secretly obstruct the investigation. Then they would achieve their goal of making trouble for Ye Kaiyun. However, Chen Xing did not even ask about it, nor did he say anything else. He only asked them for the result, which was completely beyond their expectation. Now that Chen Xing had asked them to leave, they hesitated for a moment and did not dare to stay any longer. They left Chen Xing's office dejectedly.
"Mayor Xu, it seems that we have underestimated Mayor Chen's reaction." After coming out of the Municipal Government, Chen Guomin and Xu Qingnian were not in a hurry to let the driver drive back to Xing Hua City. They found a place to drink tea, asked for a private seat, and waved the waiter away. Then they began to communicate. Both of them felt depressed.
Sigh, we should have known more about this Mayor Chen in advance. Now we are in a dilemma. Xu Qingnian smiled bitterly. He did not deliberately pretend to be respectful to Chen Xing. In the officialdom, power was supreme. Chen Xing's rank and position were obvious. He was a county magistrate in a remote and backward county, and he did not have any background. It took him 20 or 30 years to become a county magistrate when he was almost 50 years old. This was because Xing Hua County was backward. Anyone with a little background, or the cadres who wanted to come down to Xing Hua County for gold plating, would not come to Xing Hua County. Therefore, the competition was relatively small, and he could become the county magistrate.
Therefore, Xu Qingnian did not dare to be disrespectful to Chen Xing. But then again, he did not have much contact with Chen Xing before. Xu Qingnian saw that Chen Xing was young, so he more or less looked down on him. This kind of contempt and respect for Chen Xing did not contradict each other. He just saw that Chen Xing was young, so he thought that Chen Xing would be easier to fool. He used this incident to see if he could use Chen Xing's power to attack Ye Kaiyun, but now he was rebuffed.
County magistrate Xu, in your opinion, what should we do now? Chen Guomin looked at Xu Qingnian. He wanted to hear Xu Qingnian's opinion. In the past, his relationship with Xu Qingnian was ordinary. They were not on the same side, but they were not enemies either. This time, because of Dong Ruiming's case, Chen Guomin wanted to join hands with Xu Qingnian to keep Ye Kaiyun in check. Normally, if it was an ordinary case, even if Dong Ruiming committed a murder, Chen Guomin wouldn't have such an idea. There was no need for him to go against Ye Kaiyun. For him, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages. However, this time, Dong Ruiming had offended Chen Xing and hit an iron plate. Moreover, Ye Kaiyun had a close relationship with the Dong Family.
Judging from Chen Xing's attitude on the day of the crime, Chen Guomin did not think that Chen Xing would give up this matter easily. As the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the Director of the Public Security Bureau, he was the first to bear the brunt. If this case was not handled well, Chen Guomin had no doubt that Chen Xing would secretly hold a grudge against him. Comparing Ye Kaiyun and Chen Xing, Chen Guomin wisely chose to handle the case according to Chen Xing's order. This meant that he might offend Ye Kaiyun, but he had no other choice.
Moreover, Chen Guomin also saw some opportunities in this case. If he could pull Ye Kaiyun down from his position, he might have a chance to compete for the throne of the county magistrate. Why did he say it was the county magistrate instead of the Secretary of the County Party Committee? This was because Chen Guomin was self-aware. It was almost impossible for the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee to directly become the Secretary of the County Party Committee. As for the position of the county magistrate, although it was very rare for the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee to be transferred to the County Magistrate, it was not impossible. Therefore, it was not difficult to understand why Chen Guomin joined hands with Xu Qingnian.
What else could he do? He had underestimated Mayor Chen before. Now, he could only bite the bullet and go on. If he was a coward now, it would not be worth it. It was better to make up his mind and show some real skills. As long as he could satisfy Mayor Chen, he would not have to worry about Ye Kaiyun's fierce counterattack. Xu Qingnian said thoughtfully.
It seemed that this was the only way. Chen Guomin nodded. Xu Qingnian's idea coincided with his. Now that they had offended Ye Kaiyun, if they continued to handle the case, they would only offend Ye Kaiyun more. Anyway, they had already offended him, so it didn't matter whether they offended him or not. Especially Chen Guomin, he was the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the City. The Political and Legal Committee was directly under the jurisdiction of the Party Committee. If he did not continue to stick together with Xu Qingnian, then Ye Kaiyun would come after him in the future. Chen Guomin admitted that he could not handle Ye Kaiyun, the leader of the Party Committee. Now that he was on the same side with Xu Qingnian, it was his strategy to protect himself. If he could handle Dong Ruiming's case to the satisfaction of Chen Xing, it would be in his best interest.
The two calculated for a while and reached an agreement. After lunch, they directly returned to Xing Hua County. In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Chen Xing got off work from the Municipal Government and went straight to Coastal Avenue.
Jiang Wan had only taken over Lin Hong's restaurant for a few days, but now she had entered the state of the boss. To be exact, she was not the boss. Lin Hong held 60% of the shares, which had an absolute controlling advantage. In fact, this restaurant was still under Lin Hong's control. However, Lin Hong was now far away from Nanzhou and had no plans to return. This restaurant was also completely handed over to Jiang Wan. Lin Hong's share was just a dream of his early years.
Chen Xing and Sha Yuanbao had arranged to have dinner here in the evening. He did not inform Jiang Wan in advance to reserve a private room, so Jiang Wan did not expect that Chen Xing would come. When Chen Xing walked into the restaurant, Jiang Wan, who was in the hall, saw Chen Xing. Her face immediately lit up and she quickly stepped forward. Mayor Chen, you're here.
I'm here to support Boss Jiang. I wonder how the business is now. Chen Xing asked jokingly.
The business is so-so. I've kept all the chefs and service staff that Lin Hong hired before. The staff has not changed. The restaurant's operating style is also the same as before. There has not been any decline in business. When Jiang Wan spoke, there was a satisfied smile on her face. When she borrowed millions from Chu Rong, Jiang Wan was so worried that she could not sleep all night. She thought that if she lost all the money, she would not be able to pay back the money even if she worked for Chu Rong for the rest of her life. If it were not for Chen Xing's encouragement, she would not have the courage to take over the share of Lin Hong's restaurant.
Now a few days had passed. Seeing that the business was good, Jiang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She secretly calculated that if the restaurant could continue to have this kind of performance, she might be able to pay back all the money that Chu Rong owed in one or two years. The income after that would be her own. Every time she thought that she might have so much money in the future, Jiang Wan felt that her heart was pounding. She had never thought that happiness would come so quickly.
The style of the restaurant has not changed. I think if you don't say it yourself, probably no one will know that the restaurant has changed its proprietress. Chen Xing smiled.
Hehe, in fact, the proprietress is still Lin Hong. As for me, I can only be regarded as the second proprietress. Jiang Wan felt that what she said was a little awkward, so she couldn't help laughing. Obviously, she was in a very good mood. The smile on her face was brighter and brighter than before.
Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat when he saw Jiang Wan. He wondered if it was because Jiang Wan didn't work as hard as she did when she was running her own restaurant. Why did she look more beautiful? As this thought flashed across his mind, Chen Xing soon laughed at himself. Jiang Wan had only taken over the restaurant for a few days. If she really wanted to change, it would take some time. How could it be so fast? He reckoned that he was seeing things.
While they were talking, the phone rang. Chen Xing picked up the phone and looked at it. When he saw the caller ID, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. With a hint of surprise, he walked to the side to answer the phone. "Zhong Ling, you are such a busy person. Why do you think of calling me?
No matter how busy I am, I am not as busy as you, Mayor Chen. As you become more and more powerful, you also become more arrogant. I don't see you take the initiative to call your old friend. " On the other end of the phone, Zhong Ling said with a hidden bitterness.
"Alright, it's my fault. I don't care about my old friend." Chen Xing wisely didn't quarrel with women. He hadn't been in contact with Zhong Ling for a long time. Thinking that Zhong Ling didn't call him specifically to ask about his well-being, he smiled again. "Is there something wrong? If I can help, I won't say anything. "
"Well, there is indeed such a thing." Zhong Ling smiled. "Our company's investment in the tourist area in Ximen County has been completed. This project was originally invested in by Mayor Chen. At the opening ceremony, Mayor Chen has to show up."
"Zhong Ling, I am now working in Nanzhou City. If I specially go to Ximen County to attend your opening ceremony, I am afraid it is not appropriate." When Chen Xing heard this, he felt a headache. It was not an excuse, but it was inappropriate for him, the dignified mayor of Nanzhou City, to attend the opening ceremony in Ximen County of Haicheng City. If it was a coincidence, there was nothing to say. If it was a special trip, it would inevitably cause some criticism.
"I guessed that Mayor Chen might be worried about this." Zhong Ling seemed to have guessed that Chen Xing would say this. She smiled and said, "Mayor Chen, I have tentatively decided to set the opening ceremony on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year. I think you should go back to Haicheng for the New Year and attend the opening ceremony on the way. This way, it won't be difficult. Anyway, you can tell me in advance which day is suitable, and I will set it on that day."
"Zhong Ling, you have thought about it for me." Chen Xing nodded. Zhong Ling's words were feasible. Thinking that Zhong Ling had specially arranged the opening ceremony date so that he could attend, Chen Xing couldn't refuse anymore. He immediately agreed. "If it is during the New Year, it will definitely not be a problem. Don't worry, I will definitely support you at that time. At that time, no matter how important it is, it will have to give way."
"Okay, I like what Mayor Chen said. Then we will see each other at that time. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time. On that day, I have to have a drink with Mayor Chen." Zhong Ling smiled.
The phone call between the two was simple and straightforward. There were no unnecessary greetings or pleasantries. Subtly, one could feel that the two of them regarded each other as true friends. Although they hadn't contacted each other for a long time, their relationship would not fade because of this.
Chen Xing held his phone in a daze. Time had passed so quickly without him noticing. The construction of the tourist area that he had started had also been completed. It was a pity that he had already been transferred from Ximen County. At first, he didn't think that he would leave so soon. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh with the passage of time. One year after another, it actually passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, another Lunar New Year was coming.
