After the meeting, Ge Jian-ming walked out of the meeting room first. Intentionally or unintentionally, Ge Jian-ming glanced at Chen Xing and then left the meeting room. Duan Zhaohua, the Organization Department Head, Tang Chengjie, the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhao Xin, and other cadres of Ge Jian-ming also left one after another, followed by Deputy Mayor Jia Zhengde.
Jia Zhengde looked at Chen Xing with a slight sneer in his eyes and walked out quickly. He was now the Deputy Mayor of the government, but in front of Chen Xing, Jia Zhengde still showed the attitude of following Ge Jian-ming closely. This was not because Jia Zhengde was arrogant and looked down on Chen Xing, but because Jia Zhengde deeply understood the backing that allowed him to stand firm in the city. Without Ge Jian-ming's trust and support, he would not be where he was today. In addition, he was originally transferred here by the Municipal Party Committee, and everyone knew that he worked for Ge Jian-ming. Under such circumstances, why should he hide his attitude?
The people of Ge Jian-ming all walked out. Liao Donghua also stood up and walked out with a faint smile on his face. He was in a really good mood today. Now, as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, he was finally not a commander without an army. Liao Donghua had no reason to be in a bad mood.
When he was transferred from the position of the Deputy Director of the Inspection Office of the Provincial government to the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Nanzhou City, Liao Donghua was eager to shine in his new position. Unexpectedly, after he came to Nanzhou, he could not play a big role as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Ge Jian-ming, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, deliberately suppressed him, and Chen Xing, the Mayor, would not listen to him. In addition, he was only the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, not the Director of the Municipal Bureau. Therefore, he was really just a nominal Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, just like a staff officer without a leader. He did not have much real power in his hands, and the courts and procuratorates did not really listen to his orders. This made Liao Donghua very depressed. Now, he could finally vent his anger.
As soon as Liao Donghua left, Shen Lingyue, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Yang Pingping, the Head of Publicity, also walked out slowly. Shen Lingyue's face was very gloomy. Today, he had the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. He planned to stir things up at the right time and deepen the conflict between Ge Jian-ming and Chen Xing, which was in line with his interests. He did not expect that Ge Jian-ming would not only make Chen Xing unable to fight back, but also ruin his plan of stirring things up.
Shen Lingyue was in a bad mood. Previously, when Zhang Qingyang fell, Ge Jian-ming would rather the Provincial Department send a cadre to replace him than support Liao Donghua to be the Director of the Municipal Bureau. He did not expect that he would play such a trick this time, which was really surprising. Shao Huadong said to Chen Xing after the others left.
If you can predict it in advance, then it's not a skill at all. Ge Jian-ming is really scheming. Chen Xing said sincerely. No matter what, he had to admit that Ge Jian-ming's tricks were very powerful. However, he did not know what agreement Liao Donghua and Ge Jian-ming had reached, or had Liao Donghua sided with Ge Jian-ming? Chen Xing frowned unconsciously. Liao Donghua belonged to the local faction. If he and Ge Jian-ming were on the same side, wouldn't he be worried about the reaction of the big boss behind him?
As Chen Xing and Shao Huadong were talking, they saw Xu Feng, the commander of the military division, was also about to leave. Xu Feng turned around and nodded at him. Chen Xing was stunned. He almost forgot that Xu Feng had raised his hand to support his proposal in the first place. He was about to go up and greet Xu Feng, but Xu Feng had already left in the blink of an eye. Chen Xing chased after him and was about to call Xu Feng. However, when he saw the people passing by in the corridor, Chen Xing gave up. This was the Municipal Party Committee, and they had to be careful of eavesdroppers. Chen Xing thought that he should invite Xu Feng out for a chat next time. He had to express his gratitude for Xu Feng's support today. Perhaps he could get an unexpected vote of support in the Standing Committee in the future.
Without staying for long, Chen Xing and Shao Huadong also left the Municipal Party Committee in their respective cars. The results of today's Standing Committee meeting were undoubtedly spread out immediately. In the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Lu Ming was very calm when he learned that he had not been appointed as the director. Instead, it was Liao Donghua, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. He continued doing what he was doing and did not call Chen Xing to ask about it.
In the Traffic Bureau, it was a different scene. After Zhao Kai got the news, he danced with joy in his office. He couldn't even sit still. He rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth, unable to stop. Zhao Kai, who was full of joy, wanted to laugh out loud to vent his uncontrollable emotions.
Suddenly, a knock came from the door. Zhao Kai was startled for a moment, but he immediately put away his smile, straightened his shirt tie, put his hands behind his back, straightened his body, and held his head high. He already had the air of a director, and shouted, "Come in.
It was Song Yiling, the deputy director of the office. As soon as Zhao Kai saw her, his pretentious aura immediately disappeared. After Song Yiling closed the door, Zhao Kai walked to the sofa proudly and sat down. He crossed his legs and snorted. "I thought it would be Chen Xinrong, that bastard. I didn't expect you to be the first one to come in."
"Director Zhao, do you think Director Chen can come now? I guess he is hiding in his office and smashing cups." Song Yiling walked behind Zhao Kai with a smile. She gently massaged Zhao Kai's shoulders with her white and delicate hands, and her smile was especially bright.
"If he is hiding in his office and smashing cups, I should set off firecrackers to celebrate." Chen Xinrong was Zhao Kai's biggest competitor in the bureau, and Chen Xinrong had secretly competed with him a lot. It was not until the news that Chen Xing had nominated Zhao Kai to be the bureau chief that Chen Xinrong calmed down a lot and did not dare to go against Zhao Kai in the open. However, behind Zhao Kai's back, Chen Xinrong kept saying that Zhao Kai was only nominated and would rejoice for nothing in the end, and that the position of bureau chief could belong to anyone but Zhao Kai. Otherwise, everyone would just wait and see.
Now that the result was out, Zhao Kai couldn't wait to call Chen Xinrong over and slap him in the face. However, when he thought that he hadn't gone through the relevant legal procedures, and at least had to wait for the official appointment of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to take effect, Zhao Kai suppressed this thought. In the future, he would have plenty of time to slowly beat Chen Xinrong up. He didn't want others to think that he was a villain before he officially became the director.
"Director Zhao, I have already said that Director Chen can't be compared with you. If he stands with you, he is destined to be a foil. He was alive and kicking before, thinking that he also had a chance to compete for the position of director. Look, now he is in a tragedy. I know that the position of director will definitely belong to you, Director Zhao." Song Yiling said flatteringly. Her small hands slowly slid down from his shoulders, and she hugged Zhao Kai from behind. It was obvious what the relationship between them was.
"You're a hindsight. You only know how to say nice words to please me." Zhao Kai grinned. Although he said so, Song Yiling's words made him burst with joy.
"Director Zhao, from today onwards, the Deputy Director sign outside your door will become one without the word 'Deputy'. How are you going to celebrate?" Song Yiling blew hot air into Zhao Kai's ear, and her voice was very charming.
"Of course, I will go to the hotel with my little baby to celebrate. Just the two of us, and enjoy the world of the two of us. What do you think?" Zhao Kai had a naughty smile on his face. He leaned back and looked at Song Yiling's face, which was particularly attractive to him. Zhao Kai especially liked the beauty mole at the corner of Song Yiling's mouth. Song Yiling's appearance was not the kind that people would think was very beautiful at first glance, but it was better to look at her. At first glance, there was nothing special about her, but the more he looked at her, the more attractive she became. She was a woman who was almost 40 years old, but Zhao Kai was fascinated by her.
"Really? Director Zhao, be careful not to be caught by your wife. At that time, it doesn't matter to me, but Director Zhao, when you go back, you won't have to kneel on the washboard, right?" Song Yiling burst out laughing. The coquettish look on her face made Zhao Kai swallow his saliva.
"Hmph, do I look like a henpecked man? I have the final say at home. Which wife dares to talk back to me? Let's see if I don't deal with her. " Zhao Kai snorted coldly, and then he smiled and said, "At least I have a wife at home. You are a loner. Every night, you can't sleep, can't you? Can't you bear the loneliness?"
"Director Zhao, you're so bad. You've touched my sore spot." Song Yiling lightly punched Zhao Kai a few times. She was a divorcee, and she had been divorced for two or three years. She had never found a new partner. She and her son were the only ones at home. For people like her, who worked in a government agency and held an official position, even if she was divorced and had a child, she was still very popular. In the past two or three years, there were countless people who introduced her to a partner and advised her to reestablish a family.
Song Yiling even met someone who introduced her to a man who had just graduated with a doctorate. He was in his early thirties and had never been married before. The man said that he didn't mind that she was divorced and had a child, and was willing to start a family with her. There were many people like this, but Song Yiling didn't agree. It wasn't that she was too picky, but she was worried that she would meet another man like her ex-husband, who had a golden exterior but was rotten inside. Song Yiling was also afraid that finding a stepfather would not love her son, so she kept delaying this matter. However, women at her age had extremely strong physiological needs. Women were like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties. Even if Song Yiling could be pure and have few desires, she couldn't withstand the loneliness of the night. She had mentioned this to Zhao Kai when they were together. Now that Zhao Kai teased her about this matter, Song Yiling felt a little embarrassed.
"If I wasn't bad, how could I have deceived you?" Zhao Kai smirked and smiled proudly. He didn't mess around anymore. The results from the committee had just come out, and there would definitely be people coming to his office. The people in the bureau would also have to pay their respects to the new bureau chief. Zhao Kai didn't dare to take Song Yiling on the spot at this time. It would be too late to clean up the scene later.
Zhao Kai stood up and patted Song Yiling's hand. "Go and open the office door, in case someone comes in and disturbs us.
We are often locked in the office, and other people are not stupid. How could they not know? " Song Yiling rolled her eyes at Zhao Kai and obediently walked to close the door.
"Some people are happy, some people are sad." This sentence was never out of date. Zhao Kai didn't know that his position as bureau chief was accidentally made by Chen Xing. Compared with his excitement, Chen Xing's mood was not much better. As for Lu Ming, Chen Xing more or less felt guilty.
After leaving the Municipal Party Committee, Chen Xing didn't go back to the Municipal Government. Instead, he called Lu Ming and then went to He Li's cafe. In the private room He Li set up for him on the second floor, Chen Xing sat down and waited for Lu Ming to come over.
"Mayor, you just finished a meeting, right?" After Lu Ming came over, he still had a smile on his face as usual, and didn't show any disappointment. That would only make Chen Xing feel more uncomfortable. Lu Ming had known Chen Xing for a long time, and he knew Chen Xing's character and temperament. Today's result, Lu Ming believed that Chen Xing had tried his best for him. Since it didn't work out, Lu Ming wouldn't complain to Chen Xing. People always had to look forward. Moreover, Liao Donghua, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was also the director of the Municipal Bureau. What could he complain about?
Yes, he just left the Municipal Party Committee. Chen Xing nodded with a smile. Seeing Lu Ming's look, Chen Xing was gratified, but he also said with regret, "Lu Ming, it seems that you have to continue to be the deputy director. There is no way to promote you in a short time. I've made a promise to you, but I've broken it.
Let me tell you the truth. If Mayor Chen hadn't promoted me when I was working in Xi Men, I might still be stuck in the Xi Men County Public Security Bureau as a useless Deputy Bureau Chief. I didn't even dare to imagine that I could reach this position today. Since I'm so familiar with Mayor Chen, I won't say hypocritical and pretentious words. Everyone wants to make progress. This time, I didn't become the Bureau Chief, and I'm not resigned to it. But when I think about the past, I'm very content. Without Mayor Chen, I wouldn't be where I am today. I've said this many times before, and I still want to say it again today. Lu Ming said seriously.
"Lu Ming, if you say so, then I really said something wrong." Chen Xing laughed. Lu Ming's open-minded attitude made him feel much better. Whether Lu Ming was really open-minded or not, Chen Xing was gratified by his attitude. He also said seriously, "There's still a long way to go. Lu Ming, there's still a bright future ahead of you. The one who laughs last is the real hero. We have plenty of time."
"I have enough confidence in you, Mayor Chen." Lu Ming nodded with a smile. At this time, he didn't dare to say anything else, lest he made trouble for Chen Xing. Speaking of time, Chen Xing had enough time to gain experience. He was already in his early thirties, and now he was already in the main hall. With the strong background of the Zhang family behind him, Chen Xing's future must be bright. As for Lu Ming, he was more than ten years older than Chen Xing, but now he was only in the main hall. His age determined that the height he could reach in the future was very limited. However, he couldn't say this kind of thing at this time.
They smiled at each other. Chen Xing didn't say anything more. Lu Ming suddenly thought of something and said, "Mayor Chen, these days the public security system of Jianghai Province organized a group of cadres to our Nanhai Province for exchange and learning. I happen to know a few of them. We even made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. They are all people from my hometown. Would Mayor Chen like to go with them?
Oh, from our Jianghai Province? " Chen Xing was slightly surprised, but soon he nodded with a smile. "Since they are from Jianghai, let's join in the fun."
After sitting with Lu Ming in the cafe for a while, Chen Xing returned to the Municipal Government. When Chen Xing's car stopped, he happened to meet Ceng Gaoqiang, who was returning from a trip. Ceng Gaoqiang was obviously stunned. He didn't notice that Chen Xing's car had just come in. Now that they met, it was not good to pretend that he didn't see it. Ceng Gaoqiang forced a smile unnaturally on his face. "Mayor Chen."
Chen Xing nodded softly as a greeting. The two walked into the office building one after the other. They didn't talk much to each other. Ceng Gaoqiang, who was walking behind them, obviously had a bit of resentment on his face. Why didn't he meet Chen Xing when he came back? If he had known, he would have come back a little later. Thinking of Fang Wanhua's enthusiasm just now, Ceng Gaoqiang was a little excited. However, even though it felt good, it also came with a headache.
Fang Wanhua's husband, Ma Jiang, was removed from his position and had nothing to do until now. Previously, it was Chen Xing who personally took care of this matter. Now, no one dared to use Ma Jiang. It was said that Ma Jiang went to apply for an official position in the Urban Management Association, but the moment they saw him, they immediately rejected him. Fang Wanhua had just mentioned this matter to him, hoping that he could help Ma Jiang with his job. She said that Ma Jiang wanted to be a squadron leader in the Urban Management Association, the kind that didn't need to be organized. Ceng Gaoqiang was very comfortable with Fang Wanhua's service, so he agreed immediately. Now that he thought about it, it was quite a headache.
Ceng Gaoqiang felt very uncomfortable when he bumped into Chen Xing. Chen Xing didn't look happy either. Ceng Gaoqiang was walking behind, so he couldn't see Chen Xing's expression. Therefore, Chen Xing's face showed some disgust. A few days ago, he heard from Yang Hong that Ceng Gaoqiang, the newly appointed Deputy Mayor, was in cahoots with the former Zhang Xinjun. When Zhang Xinjun was in office, he often teased her. He often used work as an excuse to harass her. Later on, even when Zhang Xinjun asked her to report on work, Yang Hong claimed that she was ill and refused to go.
Ceng Gaoqiang wasn't any better. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the city leader on duty was Ceng Gaoqiang. Ceng Gaoqiang purposely went to the Education Bureau to ask for Yang Hong, who was on New Year's break at home. During dinner that night, he even hinted to Ma Chaoan to let Yang Hong sit beside him. After that, he groped her under the table. Yang Hong almost splashed a glass of wine on Ceng Gaoqiang's face. In the end, she switched seats with someone else to stay away from Ceng Gaoqiang.
When he returned to his office, Chen Xing immediately called Huang Jianghua and asked him to come over.
Huang Jianghua nodded and left. Very soon, he went out and returned. Mayor, the prosecutor's office said that Chief Prosecutor Cheng had taken a leave of absence due to family matters.
Took a leave of absence? Chen Xing was stunned. It was rare for Cheng Rong Jiang to take a leave of absence. Recalling the last time he saw Cheng Rong Jiang's strange expression, Chen Xing instructed Xiao Yuanqing. Ask Director Xiao to come over.
When Xiao Yuanqing came over, Chen Xing pointed at the chair and casually waved his hand. I asked you to find out if anything happened to Chief Prosecutor Cheng's family. How is it? Did you get any news?
Ah, how could I have forgotten about this? Xiao Yuanqing slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly. I asked my wife to find out from those mahjong players. She did get some news, but I was so busy during the Lunar New Year that I forgot about it. Look at my memory, I didn't report to Mayor Chen in time.
It's okay. It's not too late to tell me now. Chen Xing smiled. It's better to get some news than nothing.
Chief Prosecutor Cheng has a son who just graduated from college last year and works in the capital. Mayor Chen, have you heard of him?
How would I know anything about Chief Prosecutor Cheng's family situation? Your questions are all nonsense. Just tell me what you know. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor Chen, I'll tell you. Xiao Yuanqing nodded. My wife said that Chief Prosecutor Cheng's son had a girlfriend in the capital. They were in a good relationship, but the girl's parents didn't agree and insisted on separating them. Chief Prosecutor Cheng's son was also a hot-blooded young man. He went to the girl's house to argue with her parents, but he was driven out. That night, the young man went to the bar and drank a lot of alcohol. Actually, drinking was nothing serious. He just wanted to drown his sorrows with alcohol. It was understandable that a young man encountered a setback in his love life and wanted to drink to relieve his boredom.
However, a young man was easily impulsive. Coupled with his love life, he was probably in a bad mood and quarreled with someone in the bar. The young man was beaten and injured. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but he was not seriously injured. However, the other party was in trouble. The young man stabbed the other party with a broken beer bottle and the bottle went into his stomach. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Fortunately, his life was not in danger. If he could compensate for the medical expenses, the matter would be over. However, the person who was stabbed was also from a powerful family in the capital. It was said that they did not want compensation or apology and insisted on sending Chief Prosecutor Cheng's son to prison. It was said that Chief Prosecutor Cheng's girlfriend also went to the hospital and cried her heart out, but she was soon taken away by her family's elders.
Before leaving, the family's elders even said that they did not approve of their relationship. They even reprimanded Chief Prosecutor Cheng on the spot. They asked Chief Prosecutor Cheng and his wife, as parents, to discipline their children and not to rush into other people's house and act wildly. Poor Chief Prosecutor Cheng was probably too ashamed to show his face at that time and wanted to dig a hole to hide in. As for his family's young man, because of such a thing, he directly gave up on himself. He did not understand his parents' hard work and said that he would go to prison himself.
As Chen Xing listened to Xiao Yuanqing's story, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuanqing. When Xiao Yuanqing finished, Chen Xing's eyes were still fixed on Xiao Yuanqing. This time, it was Xiao Yuanqing's turn to feel uncomfortable. He thought that there was something wrong with what he said, so he quickly added with a smile, "Mayor Chen, my wife inquired about this when we were playing mahjong. My wife sometimes forgot who she was when she was playing mahjong. I don't know whether she inquired about it seriously or she just casually heard hearsay to fool me. Therefore, we should just listen to it for the time being and not believe it completely."
Hearing Xiao Yuanqing's explanation, Chen Xing knew that Xiao Yuanqing had misunderstood. He smiled and shook his head. "Lao Xiao, let's not talk about whether this thing can be believed for the time being. However, I suddenly found another strength of yours."
What was it? Xiao Yuanqing looked at Chen Xing blankly. He did not know how to respond to Chen Xing's incoherent words for a while.
"I find that if you become a storyteller, you can probably win a lot of applause." As Chen Xing said to himself, he couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Yuanqing was stunned by Chen Xing's words. After he realized what Chen Xing was talking about, he also laughed. "Mayor Chen, after what you said, I guess I can really become a storyteller in the future and earn some extra money as a part-time job."
After chatting for a while, Chen Xing waved his hand, indicating that they should get down to business. "How reliable do you think what your wife inquired about is?
In fact, it should be quite reliable. My wife said that one of her friends who played mahjong with her lived opposite to Attorney General Cheng's house. This is most likely true. By the way, during the Spring Festival, Attorney General Cheng's house was closed. I heard that Attorney General Cheng and his wife went to the capital to deal with their son's matter. I don't know if they have returned now. "
"Then it should be true. Just now, I asked Jiang Hua to call the Procuratorate. Attorney General Cheng has not come to work today. It seems that he is busy with his son's matter." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"If Attorney General Cheng has not come to work today, it is possible that he has not returned from the capital." Xiao Yuanqing nodded, but it was understandable. Attorney General Cheng only had one son. If something happened to him, Attorney General Cheng and his wife would be very sad. It was normal for them to worry about their son.
Xiao Yuanqing said and sighed with emotion. "Alas, nowadays, young people find a partner. It is said that they are free to love. It is no longer as important as in the past. But in the end, they still have to pass the test of their parents. Nowadays, how many people in their parents' generation can really break the prejudice of a well-matched family?" In other words, the idea of a well-matched family did not disappear with the opening of people's minds. In fact, it took root in people's hearts in more and more ways.
It was a very normal phenomenon. Chen Xing smiled. Parents also had their own difficulties. For the simplest example, if they trained their son to graduate from college, and the son finally found a partner who graduated from primary school, would the parents agree? As parents, they definitely hoped that their son would find a partner who also graduated from college. In fact, this was also a disguised idea of a well-matched family.
When Chen Xing and Xiao Yuanqing talked about this topic, he inevitably thought of his own experience. What Xiao Yuanqing said about Cheng Rong Jiang's family was similar to what he had experienced in the past. Chen Xing's heart was quite touched. At this time, he looked at Zhao Qing's parents from the perspective of a third party. Maybe they did have something that made people hate them, but as parents, it seemed that it was not wrong for them to let Zhao Qing marry a well-matched family.
With a wry smile, Chen Xing stopped thinking about this matter. It was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong. Many years had passed. Even if it was right and wrong, what was the point?
"Mayor, why do you want to know about Attorney General Cheng's family?" Xiao Yuanqing asked curiously.
"Nothing. I just want to know more. If there is anything I can help, I will help. We are colleagues, and it is not a big deal to help." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Oh." Xiao Yuanqing nodded and did not ask more. He had more or less guessed Chen Xing's thoughts.
As the two chatted, Huang Jianghua came in again. The mayor and Attorney General Cheng were here.
"Hmm?" Chen Xing looked at the door in surprise. He could not hide the surprise on his face. Just now, he was discussing with Xiao Yuanqing that Cheng Rong Jiang might still be in the capital. Otherwise, he would not have called the procuratorate to say that he had not come to work. Now Cheng Rong Jiang arrived. Chen Xing was very surprised and went out to greet him in person.
"Comrade Cheng Rong Jiang is here. Please come in." Chen Xing smiled warmly at Cheng Rong Jiang.
"Mayor Chen is too polite." Cheng Rong Jiang nodded. His face was full of exhaustion, but he still squeezed a smile at Chen Xing.
"I haven't seen Comrade Cheng Rong Jiang for the New Year. He seems to be much more haggard. Maybe he did not have a good rest or something. You should pay more attention to your health." Chen Xing said with concern. As he said this, he exchanged a look with Xiao Yuanqing quietly. The two of them believed the information they had heard.
"Thank you for your concern, Mayor Chen. I just came back today. Before I arrived at the office, I received a call saying that you were looking for me, Mayor Chen. So I came straight to your office. I wonder why Mayor Chen is looking for me?" Cheng Rong Jiang sat down at the invitation of Chen Xing. After Xiao Yuanqing and Cheng Rong Jiang nodded, they left Chen Xing's office. Only Chen Xing and Cheng Rong Jiang were left in the office. Cheng Rong Jiang actually knew why Chen Xing was looking for him. Before the New Year, Chen Xing gave him an ultimatum, asking him to make a breakthrough in Deng Jinchun's case after the New Year. Today was the tenth day of the New Year. What else could it be if not for this matter?
Cheng Rong Jiang knew what it was, but he did not take the initiative to mention it. This New Year, he was really exhausted both physically and mentally, and he almost forgot about his work. Cheng Rong Jiang didn't know to what extent the task assigned by Chen Xing had been completed. In fact, he was not willing to take the initiative to do it. He was already worried about his family affairs, and he was forced to participate in the struggle of those leaders. Cheng Rong Jiang didn't want to get involved at all. Deep in his heart, he had some negative thoughts about it. It was tiring to be an official.
Where did Comrade Rong Jiang come from? I heard that Comrade Rong Jiang has been on leave for a few days. Instead of talking about work, Chen Xing asked with a smile.
He just came back from the capital, and he had some personal matters to deal with. So he could only ask for leave. Cheng Rong Jiang told the truth, but his face turned gloomy. His wife was still in the capital, and he came back alone. His wife was also working in the unit, but she was just an ordinary department leader. She could ask for a longer leave, but he was still the city's chief prosecutor. As the top leader of the unit, he couldn't ask for a long leave. Cheng Rong Jiang came back in a hurry, but he was worried about what happened in the capital. The family of the person that his son stabbed insisted on taking his son to court. From their tone, they would only be satisfied if his son went to jail for a few years. This matter was indeed his son's fault.
Although Cheng Rong Jiang was drunk and injured someone, the other party wanted to sue him for intentional injury. From their looks, they would be able to do well in the Procuratorate and court. Cheng Rong Jiang was also the city's chief prosecutor, but this was the first time he experienced what it meant to be a small official in Beijing. He was the chief prosecutor of a prefecture-level city, but no one in the capital respected him. Even a small section chief of the Beijing court dared to disrespect him. One could imagine the bitterness in Cheng Rong Jiang's heart.
What's the private matter? Looking at the chief prosecutor's tired look, if he encountered any difficulties, he might as well let me know. Two people's strength is always greater than one person's strength, right? Everyone can think of a solution together. Chen Xing laughed. Although he had roughly found out what was going on, if he said it directly in front of Cheng Rong Jiang, it would be different. If Cheng Rong Jiang saw it, he might think that he was investigating the other party. Chen Xing didn't want to cause this kind of misunderstanding.
It's nothing. It's just a personal family matter. I won't let Mayor Chen see it. Cheng Rong Jiang shook his head. It was the same answer as when Chen Xing asked him before. Cheng Rong Jiang didn't want to take the initiative to talk about his family matters. Firstly, he had the thought of not airing his dirty linen in public. Secondly, Cheng Rong Jiang knew that Chen Xing had been trying to rope him in, so he was more or less wary of Chen Xing.
Since that was the case, Chief Prosecutor Cheng should pay more attention to his health. He didn't want to get sick because of his worries. Chen Xing glanced at Cheng Rong Jiang. After all, Cheng Rong Jiang still wanted to keep a distance from him. Chen Xing wasn't annoyed.
Mayor Chen, thank you for your concern. Cheng Rong Jiang forced a smile. After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to say, "Mayor Chen, why did you call me?
It's nothing. I heard that Comrade Rong Jiang has taken a leave of absence for many days. So I called you to see if there's anything wrong. " Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He originally wanted to ask Deng Jinchun about it, but now he didn't want to ask. Since Comrade Rong Jiang was back, there was nothing wrong.
Oh, I see. Cheng Rong Jiang looked at Chen Xing in surprise. He didn't expect Chen Xing to care about him so much. Although he knew that Chen Xing had a purpose, compared to Ge Jian-ming's style, Chen Xing's way of doing things made people feel closer to him.
Comrade Rong Jiang, you look so tired. Don't go to the office later. Go back and have a rest. Chen Xing said with concern.
It's okay. I'll go back to the office first. I'll take a break at noon. Cheng Rong Jiang smiled. Seeing that Chen Xing was fine, Cheng Rong Jiang stood up. Mayor Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.
Okay. Chen Xing stood up.
Mayor Chen, please stay. You don't need to see me off. Cheng Rong Jiang said hurriedly when he saw Chen Xing was going to see him off.
Chen Xing smiled. He didn't insist on seeing Cheng Rong Jiang off. As soon as Cheng Rong Jiang left, Xiao Yuanqing came back. Seeing Chen Xing still standing, he walked in and said with a smile, "Mayor Chen, is it the same as what my wife heard?"
I didn't ask. Cheng Rong Jiang didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't ask. Chen Xing said calmly. He frowned and then relaxed. The more Cheng Rong Jiang behaved like this, the more he deserved to win him over.
Really? Xiao Yuanqing was a little surprised. Chen Xing had a strong background. He had connections in the capital. If Cheng Rong Jiang's son got into trouble in the capital, he might be able to settle the matter if he chose to ask Chen Xing for help. He didn't expect Cheng Rong Jiang to be so stubborn.
Yuanqing, ask your wife to find out the name of Cheng Rong Jiang's son. Chen Xing turned around and said to Xiao Yuanqing.
Well, I'll call her later. That woman told me early in the morning that she was going out to play mahjong again. I even scolded her a little. Xiao Yuanqing laughed. If she happened to be playing mahjong with the neighbor across from Attorney General Cheng's house, he could ask her directly.
Leaving aside the fact that Chen Xing and Xiao Yuanqing were talking about Cheng Rong Jiang in the office, Cheng Rong Jiang walked out of Chen Xing's office. Seeing that the elevator hadn't come up yet, he went straight down the stairs. Just when he was about to go down the stairs, his phone rang. Seeing that it was his wife calling, Cheng Rong Jiang's heart trembled. He had a bad feeling and quickly picked up the phone. What's the matter?
Old Cheng, it's not good. Si Ming was arrested by the Public Security Bureau. Cheng Rong Jiang's wife, Zhuang Caixia, said with a sobbing tone.
What? Si Ming was arrested by the Public Security Bureau? Cheng Rong Jiang was shocked. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen right after he came back. What did the Public Security Bureau say?
They said that Si Ming's injuries had recovered. The hospital had issued a recovery report. The victim's family had also reported to the Public Security Bureau. Si Ming was a suspect and they wanted to take him away. Zhuang Caixia said with sorrow. She and Cheng Rong Jiang only had one son. They raised him with great effort. Seeing that their son had graduated, they didn't need to worry about his job anymore. The couple often joked that they should find a partner for their son so that they could have grandchildren. They didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the end.
During the Chinese New Year, other people were celebrating the Chinese New Year, but they were accompanying their son in the hospital. They also had to run around for their son's injury. They wanted to apologize to the victim's family, but they didn't accept it. They tried their best to persuade and begged in a low voice, but it was useless. In the end, they had no choice but to use their connections and find people to help intercede, but it didn't work. In addition to their son's girlfriend, the couple was really worried.
