Chen Xing walked to the car. When he passed by the young man, Chen Xing glanced at him, and the young man took a step back subconsciously. He was a little scared. Someone had told him about Chen Xing's identity, and the young man was really shocked.
"Is … is that person really the Chen Xing from before?" After Chen Xing left, the young man grabbed the policeman surnamed Wang and asked. This man was Wang Jianneng, a squadron leader of the Public Security Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau. He had helped him solve a few small problems and was a very good person. The young man remembered his phone number and asked him to solve any trouble he encountered. Basically, he ordered him around like a henchman. He was quite satisfied with the way Wang handled things.
Young Master Qian, didn't you see that even Secretary Yang had to be polite in front of him? Wang Jianneng smiled bitterly. The young master in front of him was Qian Yuanming, the son of Qian Cheng, the secretary of the County Party Committee. Wang Jianneng occasionally fawned on him, so he tried his best to get close to the young master of Ximen County. Wang Jianneng regarded him as a benefactor in his career and hoped that he could make progress because of him. Today was his day off, and he was about to accompany his wife to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings. When he received the call from Wang Jianneng, he didn't have time to pay New Year's greetings to his father-in-law. He hurried back to the police station with a few policemen. If he had known this would happen, he would have turned off his phone and spent the New Year's holiday. It was rare that he didn't have to work this year.
Didn't he say that he was transferred to another province? Why was he here? Qian Yuanming asked in a daze.
"Young Master Qian, Secretary Huang is from Hai City. Maybe he came back for the New Year." Wang Jianneng replied weakly.
"It's fine if he came back for the New Year. Why did he come to Ximen County? Did he have nothing better to do?" Qian Yuanming muttered resentfully. He was in a dilemma and felt a little scared. Did he offend Chen Xing just now? Would Chen Xing hold a grudge against him?
Who knew what the big leader was thinking? Maybe he came to Ximen County on a whim. Wang Jianneng looked at Qian Yuanming with a bitter expression. He pointed at the girl and asked, "Young Master Qian, look at this girl.
Why are you still asking me? That Yang Zhen … Ahem, that Secretary Yang has already spoken. Just do what you have to do. Qian Yuanming said angrily. Yang Zhen was now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and his position was even higher than his father's. Qian Yuanming's words were useless. It was fine if he didn't know Yang Zhen's identity, but since he did, he wouldn't dare to argue with Yang Zhen.
Alright, we'll do as you say, Young Master Qian. Wang Jianneng had a smile on his face, and his heart was slightly relieved. At least this Young Master Qian didn't do anything stupid. Otherwise, on one side, the boss of the Municipal Bureau, Yang Zhen, had ordered him not to make things difficult for the girl, and on the other side, Qian Yuanming wanted to deal with the other party.
Get lost, you're the only one who knows how to talk. Glaring at Wang Jianneng, Qian Yuanming was so angry that he laughed. He turned back to look at the girl. Qian Yuanming was depressed. His wallet was a small matter now. Although his bank card, ID card, and a few thousand yuan were in it, it was nothing compared to offending Chen Xing and Yang Zhen. Qian Yuanming didn't know how Chen Xing knew this little b * tch … little girl. She was just a technician in the hotel's sauna department. How could she know the mayor? What the hell was going on? Pockmarks were not pockmarks.
Chen Xing and Yang Zhen got in the car and left directly. Yang Zhen took out his phone and made two calls in front of Chen Xing, and directly gave orders to Chen Xing. Investigating the Guoli Hotel, even if it was just the sauna department of the hotel, was equivalent to slapping Zhao Yiping in the face. According to Zhao Yiping's character, if he knew that his husband's hotel was being investigated, he wouldn't say anything on the surface, but he would definitely fly into a rage behind the scenes. Yang Zhen was also mentally prepared to face Zhao Yiping. Making this call in front of Chen Xing was undoubtedly to show his attitude to Chen Xing. Now, Yang Zhen was determined to leave with Chen Xing.
How did Mayor Chen know this little girl? In the car, Yang Zhen asked curiously.
When I first came to Xi Men to work, I lived in the guesthouse of the county committee. At that time, the guesthouse arranged for a waitress to help me clean up. She was a little girl who had just turned eighteen years old. She graduated from high school but didn't go to university. She was a very cute girl, and I even encouraged her to continue her studies. Chen Xing recalled the past, and a smile appeared on his face. However, when he thought of the little girl, Zhang Ying, when she died, Chen Xing's face turned gloomy. The little girl was pushed down from the guesthouse and died. When I left Xi Men, I asked Lu Ming to solve this case and not leave it unsolved. Lu Ming didn't disappoint me, and the little girl could finally rest in peace.
Oh, it's that case. Yang Zhen looked pensive. He vaguely remembered that case. After all, it was a murder case. Although it happened in Xi Men and the Municipal Bureau didn't directly intervene, Yang Zhen wasn't ignorant. At this moment, when Chen Xing mentioned it, Yang Zhen also knew the girl's identity. That girl was the little girl's sister?
Not bad, the two of them really looked alike. Chen Xing nodded, and his face was a little gloomy. He forgot to ask Zhang Ying's sister's name. She was in the prime of her life, and why did she want to do such a job?
Mayor Chen was really a sentimental person. Yang Zhen said with a smile. This wasn't a compliment, but a sincere thought from Yang Zhen's heart. It was very commendable that Chen Xing could still remember an ordinary girl who was a cleaner a few years ago. Although today's matter was just a small matter, it was enough to show Chen Xing's character. Yang Zhen secretly felt lucky. In this officialdom, where the coldness of human nature could be magnified several times, it was a kind of luck to follow a person like Chen Xing.
By the way, whose child was that? Chen Xing suddenly asked.
He was Qian Cheng's son, and he had probably just graduated from university. Yang Zhen said. He had asked the police of the county bureau.
It turned out that he was the son of an old leader. Chen Xing was a little surprised.
I forgot that Mayor Chen used to work in the general office of the Municipal Party Committee. At that time, you were a soldier under Qian Cheng. Yang Zhen laughed and remembered that Chen Xing used to work in the general office of the Municipal Party Committee.
The two of them chatted from time to time, and the car soon arrived at the tourist area. Zhong Ling and the leaders of the Ximen County Government were already waiting for Chen Xing's arrival. Even Qian Cheng, the secretary of the County Party Committee, who didn't plan to come today, immediately rushed over after learning that Chen Xing would definitely be there. All the important leaders of the Party and government of Ximen County were present. It could be imagined that even though Chen Xing had left for a few years, he still had enough influence in the officialdom of Ximen County. Of course, it couldn't be denied that Chen Xing was now the mayor. Given his rank, even if he was no longer in Hai City, the officials of Ximen County still treated him with caution.
When everyone saw Chen Xing coming over in the car of the Municipal Party Committee, they didn't feel surprised. They thought that Chen Xing had borrowed the car from the city after returning. Fang Xiao, the county magistrate, personally ran to open the car door for Chen Xing. When he saw Yang Zhen getting out of the car on the other side, Fang Xiao was surprised. "Secretary Yang is also here?
Why? Does Mayor Fang not welcome me? " Yang Zhen teased Fang Xiao with a smile. He knew that Fang Xiao was Chen Xing's absolute supporter in Ximen County. Otherwise, Chen Xing wouldn't have supported Fang Xiao to become the county magistrate.
"No, no. Secretary Yang is here to support us. We are very welcome." Fang Xiao shook his head repeatedly. His attitude toward Yang Zhen was polite enough. Now that Yang Zhen was a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, he didn't dare to be rude.
It was Mayor Chen. At this time, Qian Cheng also came over. He first greeted Chen Xing. When he looked at Yang Zhen, he also called him Secretary Yang politely, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes. When he was the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, Yang Zhen was just an ordinary deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, not even an executive deputy director. Now, although he had made a big step forward and became the secretary of the County Party Committee, his rank was still at the division level. However, Yang Zhen had made a big step forward. In the past, Yang Zhen was not as good as him, but now he had to call him Secretary Yang politely. Qian Cheng felt helpless. He had been looking forward to becoming a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for a long time, but he couldn't take this step.
"Secretary Qian, I came uninvited. You don't have to worry about me later." Yang Zhen said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Secretary Yang? You're giving us face by coming here. We don't dare to neglect you." Qian Cheng said with a smile.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Chen Xing turned to look at Zhong Ling. Apart from contacting her through the phone, it had been a long time since they last saw each other. Thinking about it carefully, Chen Xing reckoned that it had been two to three years. Zhong Ling still looked the same as before. Time seemed to have frozen on her body, and there were no signs of aging on her face. She was still as young and beautiful as before.
"You haven't changed at all." Chen Xing sighed.
"Isn't Mayor Chen the same? I think you're still the same as a few years ago." Zhong Ling said with a smile. There were outsiders present, so Zhong Ling called Chen Xing by his official title.
"I'm old, but Miss Zhong is getting more and more beautiful." Chen Xing smiled, looked past Zhong Ling, and looked at the tourist area behind. The red walls and tiles dotted the scenery of the mountains and forests, as if they had become a part of the scenic area. Those were the vacation villas and hotels in the tourist area. After looking at it for a while, Chen Xing said with a smile, "The effect of the construction is even better than the plan at that time. It doesn't destroy the beauty of the scenic area at all. Instead, it complements each other. Now I'm full of confidence in your tourist area.
I'm sure you can make money. If you can't make money, Mayor Chen, you have to compensate me. At that time, you dragged me to invest. If you make a loss, you're the one who pushed me into this pit. You should know that in addition to the renovation of some scenic spots and the investment in the construction of the resort, the previous budget of hundreds of millions is far from enough. " Zhong Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.
"If you make a loss, it's really my fault." Chen Xing didn't refute. Instead, he smiled and nodded. He looked back at Qian Cheng and Fang Xiao, who were behind him, and said with a smile, "Secretary Qian, Mayor Fang, Chairman Zhong, in order to support the development and construction of Xi Men, you spared no effort. You should also support the development of the tourist area."
Mayor Chen, the tourism industry has always been the focus of our county's support and development. In the future, it will become an important pillar industry of the county. In the future, the county will provide all-round support in terms of hardware and software, such as transportation. With the tourist area as the center, we will build a transportation network that extends in all directions to support the development of the tourist area to the greatest extent. The county will also try its best to mobilize resources to do publicity for the tourist area. " Fang Xiao expressed his position with a smile. He knew that Zhong Ling and Chen Xing had a good personal relationship, and this investment was made by Chen Xing himself. How could Fang Xiao not express his goodwill to Zhong Ling positively? After Chen Xing left, he really took care of Zhong Ling's company in the development and construction of the tourist area as much as possible.
Fang Xiao rushed to speak. Qian Cheng frowned imperceptibly. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied, but he soon returned to normal and didn't deliberately show it. It was rare for the secretary and the county magistrate to get along well. Qian Cheng and Fang Xiao were no exception. Although they had a good relationship with Chen Xing, they now had a lot of conflicts.
Qian Cheng was Chen Xing's old boss, and Fang Xiao was supported by Chen Xing. Theoretically, there was a basis for cooperation between them, but the fact was completely different. Nowadays, who didn't know that Qian Cheng and Fang Xiao didn't get along?
Since Mayor Chen and Secretary Yang had arrived, Chairman Zhong, could we start? Qian Cheng said at this time. He had to show his existence. As the secretary of the county committee, his limelight today had been stolen by Fang Xiao. How could Qian Cheng be satisfied?
Secretary Qian, should we wait a little longer? We also invited Zhang Xin. She hasn't arrived yet, but she will be here soon. Should we wait for a few more minutes? Zhong Ling said with a little embarrassment. Zhang Xin was the image spokesperson of their company for the tourist area. Today was the opening day of the tourist area, so how could they not invite Zhang Xin? The opening day was set on the second day of the Lunar New Year. At first, Zhang Xin was a little reluctant to come. If Zhong Ling hadn't called her in person and Zhang Xin was a bit professional and was willing to abide by the image spokesperson contract she had signed, they wouldn't have been able to invite her. In the past, when they hired Zhang Xin as the spokesperson, Zhang Xin wasn't as famous as she was now. Now that Zhang Xin suddenly became popular in the past two years, the tourist area had become the most direct beneficiary. During the publicity, they also focused on using Zhang Xin's name to increase the tourist area's reputation.
These stars were really arrogant. All the leaders had arrived, but she hadn't arrived yet. Qian Cheng said discontentedly.
Secretary Qian, we're not in a hurry. It's fine to wait for a while. Chen Xing smiled. Hearing Zhong Ling's words, he also noticed that there were large posters of Zhang Xin hanging around. He pointed at the crowd and joked, "I thought these people were here to welcome us. It's rare for people to be so enthusiastic on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It seems that I was wrong. They're not here to welcome us, but for the big star. Look at the posters some of them are holding. They are the so-called loyal fans. I think we, the leaders, are not as good as the goddesses in their hearts."
"We can't understand the thoughts of those who like to follow stars. Yang Zhen said with a smile.
Maybe they regard their favorite star as some kind of spiritual sustenance or belief in their hearts. Zhong Ling also participated in the discussion of this topic with great interest. This Zhang Xin, the palace drama that she acted in this year was really popular. Even I was fascinated by it.
Could it be that Chairman Zhong is also a fan of Zhang Xin? " Fang Xiao joked with Zhong Ling.
"I'm already past the age of chasing stars. If I were ten years younger, maybe I would also be a fan." Zhong Ling smiled.
Zhong Ling's words made everyone laugh. Although Qian Cheng was a little unhappy, he could only squeeze out a smile. The phone in his pocket rang. Qian Cheng was stunned. He looked at Chen Xing and smiled apologetically. Then, he walked to the side to answer the call.
Dad, um … um, I ran into Secretary Yang and your former Secretary Chen today. The phone call was from Qian Cheng's son, Qian Yuanming. He couldn't even speak fluently. Qian Yuanming had been conflicted for a long time whether he should make this call or not. He was worried that it would affect his father. In the end, he decided to call his father. Qian Yuanming knew that he would inevitably be scolded, but he could only bite the bullet and call. It was better than letting his father find out later.
Secretary Yang and Secretary Chen? Qian Cheng was feeling a little frustrated. When he heard his son's words, he replied impatiently.
Dad, it's Secretary Yang Zhen and Secretary Chen Xing. Qian Yuanming's voice became softer.
You met them? So what? Qian Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling.
Dad, didn't I play at the Guoli Hotel last night? When I got up this morning, I found my wallet missing … Then, Qian Yuanming roughly told his father what had happened. After that, he fell silent. He was expecting another round of scolding. He was ready to put the phone away from his ear and hang up after his father finished scolding.
To Qian Yuanming's surprise, he didn't hear his father's loud scolding. Instead, there was a sudden silence, as if there was no one on the other end of the phone. After a while, there was still no sound. Qian Yuanming was suspicious. Did he accidentally hang up? He took the phone down and saw that it hadn't been hung up. He hurriedly put the phone to his ear and said uneasily, "Dad, are you … are you still on the phone?
Go home and stay there. You can't even let me have a peaceful New Year. I'll die of anger sooner or later. " Qian Cheng scolded in a low voice. He was so angry that he couldn't make a sound. He was full of anger, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. Chen Xing and the others were standing not far away.
After scolding his son, Qian Cheng directly hung up the phone. He took a deep breath and walked back with a smile on his face. Hearing Chen Xing and the others talking about the tourist area, Qian Cheng didn't rush to interrupt. He looked at Chen Xing and Yang Zhen calmly and frowned. He already understood what his son said, but Chen Xing and Yang Zhen didn't mention it. This made Qian Cheng feel a little awkward. Should he take the initiative to mention it? It seemed to be a small matter. Maybe Chen Xing didn't take it to heart, but who knew if he really didn't mind. If such a small matter caused any misunderstanding between him and Chen Xing, Qian Cheng couldn't afford such a loss.
It was almost ten o 'clock. Why hadn't Zhang Xin come yet? Zhong Ling said at this time. The opening ceremony was set at ten o 'clock. Although there were still a few minutes to go, Chen Xing had arrived in advance, but Zhang Xin was still nowhere to be seen. Zhong Ling was a little anxious at this moment.
Big stars always appear at the end. I think we'll all be the supporting characters today. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor Chen, you're the star today. No one else can compare with you. Zhong Ling looked at Chen Xing and said.
While Zhong Ling and Chen Xing were talking, Qian Cheng, who thought for a moment, said with a smile. Mayor Chen, Secretary Yang, just now my son called and said a few disrespectful words to you. He wants to apologize to you. You've all left. I've already scolded him on the phone. I also apologize to Mayor Chen and Secretary Yang here. I didn't teach my son well. I've made a fool of myself.
Young people are a little rude. There's no need to be calculative. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. Yang Zhen, who was beside him, just smiled indifferently and looked at Qian Cheng with a hint of ridicule.
Mayor Chen and Secretary Yang are both Prime Ministers. They're very magnanimous. But I have to go back and teach that brat a good lesson. He doesn't learn well every day. Qian Cheng said with a smile. The expression on his face was more or less uncomfortable. The way he looked at Chen Xing was faintly a little complicated. This small clerk under his command in the past had now grown to the point where he was in awe of him. Looking at Chen Xing's shrewdness, he actually felt that he was unfathomable.
Zhong Ling, who had been looking in the direction of the entrance, suddenly brightened her eyes and said with a smile. He's here. He just arrived. Did Zhang Xin deliberately come here on time?
