After the two meetings of Nanhai Province were over, after some personnel changes, everything returned to normal. Chen Xing did what he had to do. As the mayor, once he was busy, he would be busy day and night. What gave Chen Xing a headache was that after Song Zhi quit her job, she didn't seem to want to do anything else. Since she arrived in Nanzhou on the ninth day of the first lunar month, she had been staying there. It had been more than ten days since then, and it was already the beginning of the second lunar month, but Song Zhi was still in Nanzhou.
Song Zhi and Zhao Kai's daughter, Zhao Ziqing, seemed to have really become sisters. Once the two were together, they couldn't be separated. When Zhao Ziqing saw that Song Zhi quit her job, she followed suit and quit her job as a stewardess. One reason was that her family was rich, so she didn't care about the job, and she didn't have to worry about not having enough money to spend. Another reason was that her father had become the traffic director, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to find a job in the future. As for finances, regardless of whether Zhao Ziqing had any savings from being a stewardess, Zhao Kai had worked in the traffic system for so many years. In such a profitable unit, no matter how honest and clean Zhao Kai was, if he said he didn't embezzle a single cent, who would believe it?
To put it bluntly, Zhao Kai had worked for so many years. If he only embezzled a few million yuan, it wouldn't be called embezzlement. On the contrary, he would be very honest. In a disaster area like the traffic system, those who really got into trouble were usually those who were too greedy or had their hands stretched too far. As long as you were honest and dutiful, and earned a few hundred thousand yuan a year as a deputy director, who would care about that little bit of money?
Now that the two women had quit their jobs, they became even crazier. Song Zhi lived in Zhao Ziqing's home, and Zhao Ziqing had a Volkswagen Beetle. She drove the car and went out with Song Zhi all day, but Zhao Kai couldn't bear to stop her. He treated Song Zhi like a little ancestor. When his daughter quit her job, he didn't say anything, but was happy. He said that she should have quit her job long ago, but his daughter didn't go to work. Instead, she played with Song Zhi all day. Zhao Kai was also beaming with joy. If he could build a good relationship with Song Zhi, it would be a shortcut for him to talk to Chen Xing.
If Song Zhi just played with her and didn't harass Chen Xing, Chen Xing might not say anything, and he wouldn't have a headache. After all, Song Zhi was an adult, and her parents weren't worried. As an outsider, he didn't have the right to say anything. However, Song Zhi liked to harass him from time to time, especially when she pestered him. Chen Xing could only give in. Chen Xing was angry and amused at the same time.
In the office of Cheng Rongjiang, the chief prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate.
At this moment, Cheng Rongjiang was listening to the report of the progress of Deng Jinchun's case. Seeing that there was no progress, and the progress was the same as before, Cheng Rongjiang frowned. From last year until now, there was no progress at all. What was your team doing?
Boss, Deng Jinchun is a deputy director. Besides, he has been the director of the First Hospital for so many years. In our team, there are people who have been given emergency treatment by him personally. In this case, we can't really do anything to him. The person who reported to Cheng Rongjiang was Xu Jingsen, the head of the Serious Crime Section of the Procuratorate. He was Cheng Rongjiang's confidant. At this time, he was not afraid to whisper, "Boss, you didn't say anything.
Didn't I call you all to hurry up and get the results as soon as possible when I was still in Beijing? " Cheng Rongjiang stared at Xu Jingsen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. That night, Wu Hansheng was waiting for them outside the Public Security Bureau. When Cheng Rongjiang found out from Wu Hansheng that the person who was helping him was Chen Xing, he felt a little ashamed. That night, he couldn't sleep again. It was not because of his son, but because he was in the middle of the political struggle in the city. In the past, he wanted to stay neutral and stay out of it. He didn't dare to offend Ge Jian-ming, and he couldn't afford to offend Chen Xing either. So, he decided not to choose either side. Although this was not a good choice, it was already a good choice out of the worst one.
Cheng Rongjiang really didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the leaders, but he couldn't sleep that night. After thinking about it for the whole night, he finally made a decision the next day. He called Xu Jingsen early in the morning and asked him to hurry up and investigate Deng Jinchun's case. This was Cheng Rongjiang's decision to stand on Chen Xing's side. Unexpectedly, there was still no progress.
Boss, you have told me to hurry up and investigate this case many times, but every time, you just … Xu Jingsen laughed dryly. That meant that every time Cheng Rongjiang said to hurry up and investigate this case, he was actually hinting at him to be passive. That day, when Cheng Rongjiang called him early in the morning, Xu Jingsen was still in a daze. Moreover, Cheng Rongjiang quickly hung up the phone, so Xu Jingsen slept for another hour. After waking up, although he remembered this matter, he didn't take it to heart. He thought it was the same as before.
That was the past. Last time, I wanted you to be serious. I say, shouldn't your brain be fixed? You can't even understand what I mean? Cheng Rongjiang scolded angrily. He had planned to go to the Municipal Government to look for Chen Xing and report this case to him. That was why he called Xu Jingsen over to understand the case. Now, he was given such an answer.
Boss, this … this … Xu Jingsen stammered. He wanted to say that he really couldn't be blamed for this, but he didn't dare to say it in the end. It was one thing that he didn't handle the case well, but it was another thing that his attitude wasn't right. Even if he was Cheng Rongjiang's confidant, Xu Jingsen didn't dare to be arrogant.
Hurry up and get to work on the case. Cheng Rongjiang said with a black face.
Okay, okay, I'll do it right away. Xu Jingsen nodded his head like a chick pecking at grains. He turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back. His expression was still the same. Boss, are you really serious?
Who told you to fake it? Cheng Rongjiang was so angry that he picked up a cup.
Boss, calm down. I'll do it right away. I promise to find out the result as soon as possible. Xu Jingsen turned around and ran away. He was afraid that Cheng Rongjiang would smash the cup on his face.
After leaving Cheng Rongjiang's office, Xu Jingsen shook his head and smiled bitterly. He let out a long sigh of relief. In fact, he could tell that Cheng Rongjiang wasn't really angry with him. However, it was always good to confirm the leader's attitude.
After waiting for Xu Jingsen to leave, Cheng Rongjiang patted his forehead helplessly. He definitely had to go to Chen Xing's office later. When he came back, he planned to pay a special visit to him. However, he couldn't attend the two sessions of the municipal and provincial sessions. Moreover, Chen Xing was busy with a meeting. Moreover, Cheng Rongjiang wanted to wait until there was progress in Deng Jinchun's case before going there. In that case, he would be too embarrassed to see Chen Xing. If that happened, he would be too ashamed to show his face. In the past, he could be thick-skinned and deal with it. Now that he had made the decision to pick a side, he couldn't be perfunctory anymore. Obviously, he had to take Chen Xing's order seriously.
After staying in the office for a while, Cheng Rongjiang went to the Municipal Government. After the two sessions, it was time for him to go to Chen Xing's office officially.
In the Municipal Government, Chen Xing was working. Huang Jianghua came in to report that the mayor and the chief prosecutor had arrived.
Oh, please come in. Chen Xing's face was filled with joy. He immediately stood up from his chair.
Mayor Chen, I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. Cheng Rongjiang walked in. Seeing that Chen Xing was still walking to the door to welcome him, Cheng Rongjiang hurried forward. His attitude changed unconsciously.
Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, have you had a good rest recently? Chen Xing smiled and looked at Cheng Rongjiang. Cheng Rongjiang's spirit was much better. At least, he wasn't as haggard as before.
I have had a good rest. Thank you, Mayor Chen, for your concern. Cheng Rongjiang smiled and nodded. Soon, he stopped smiling and thanked Chen Xing solemnly. Mayor Chen, my family's private affairs have made you laugh. After I came back from Beijing, I wanted to thank you in person, Mayor Chen. But I knew that Mayor Chen was busy with the two sessions, so I didn't want to disturb you. Originally, I planned to come over after there was a breakthrough in Deng Jinchun's case and give you a surprise. But I didn't expect my subordinates to be so disappointing. They are still absent-minded. Just now, I reprimanded them severely. I thought that if I don't report to you, Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen will think that I have a bad attitude.
Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, what are you talking about? I didn't rush you for Deng Jinchun's case, did I? Chen Xing smiled and pulled Cheng Rongjiang to the sofa. Have a seat. We don't need to be so formal now.
Cheng Rongjiang smiled. His words had already hinted his attitude to Chen Xing. Chen Xing also understood what he meant. The two of them now had a tacit understanding. He continued Chen Xing's words with a smile. Mayor Chen, you didn't rush me, but I felt embarrassed. You can forgive me, but we can't slack off. If this case is delayed, I won't have the face to see you, Mayor Chen.
Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, you don't have to say that. I asked you to give me a result before the New Year because I wanted to give you some pressure. When the time is up, if there is no progress, I won't ask the Finance Bureau to deduct your annual budget. Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, am I right? Chen Xing joked.
Mayor Chen, if you had said earlier that you wanted to deduct our annual budget, I might have gone mad as soon as I went back and asked my subordinates to investigate. Cheng Rongjiang saw that Chen Xing was in a good mood, and the two of them had a faint feeling of appreciation for each other. He was also in a good mood and joked with him.
In that case, my method at the beginning was wrong. Sigh, I've been having a headache about how to make the Procuratorate speed up the progress. It turns out that I wasn't ruthless enough at the beginning. Chen Xing smiled.
Fortunately, Mayor Chen didn't do that. Otherwise, it would really be our lifeline. If you really asked the Finance Bureau not to give us the funds, I guess we wouldn't even have the funds to handle the case.
After the two of them joked for a while, Chen Xing asked a little seriously, "Why? Is Deng Jinchun's case still the same as before?
Mayor Chen, it's true. Speaking of this, I'm embarrassed to come and see you. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to let you down. " Cheng Rongjiang smiled bitterly. This time, he really felt ashamed. After the New Year, Chen Xing hadn't taken the initiative to ask him about this. Today, he took the initiative to come over, and when Chen Xing asked, he couldn't give Chen Xing a satisfactory answer. This made Cheng Rongjiang, who had already decided to side with Chen Xing, feel his face burning. After a moment of silence, Cheng Rongjiang also planned to express his stance. Chen Xing was very sincere to him. If he wanted to side with Chen Xing, he had to show his sincerity. Mayor Chen, please give me one more week. One week, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer.
One week? Is that enough? Chen Xing looked at Cheng Rongjiang in surprise. He knew Cheng Rongjiang's attitude. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in Cheng Rongjiang, but the Procuratorate had indeed dragged on for a long time. Chen Xing didn't know whether it was because the investigators of the Procuratorate didn't work hard enough, or because Deng Jinchun's mouth was really tight.
If it's not enough, it has to be enough. If it drags on any longer, I really won't have the face to see Mayor Chen. Cheng Rongjiang shook his head.
Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Chen Xing smiled.
Well, my military pledge is right here, and we'll see the result in one week. Cheng Rongjiang nodded.
After talking to Chen Xing, Cheng Rongjiang hesitated for a moment, and then said, Mayor Chen, I haven't formally thanked you for my son's matter. Tonight, I don't know if Mayor Chen has time. My wife, my son, and I would like to invite you to dinner to thank you, Mayor Chen.
Comrade Cheng Rongjiang, if it's to thank me, then I won't go. Chen Xing smiled. If it's a family banquet and you want to invite me to dinner, then I'll go. I don't want to miss out on a free meal.
Mayor Chen, it's a family banquet. When Cheng Rongjiang heard Chen Xing's words, he quickly changed his words, and the smile on his face became wider. He sighed inwardly. Chen Xing's words and actions always made people feel comfortable.
Since it's a family banquet, and Comrade Cheng Rongjiang specially invited me, then I have to go.
Well, I'll wait for Mayor Chen's arrival tonight. Cheng Rongjiang smiled when he saw Chen Xing agree.
The two of them chatted in the office for a while until Huang Jianghua knocked on the door. Cheng Rongjiang then took his leave. Before he left, he smiled and told Chen Xing that he must be there tonight. Then, he left with a smile.
When it was almost noon, Chen Xing left the office. After leaving the Municipal Government, Chen Xing went directly to Jindu Hotel. Now, his social activities were basically in this hotel. On one hand, it was to take care of the business of Jindu Hotel, and on the other hand, he didn't have to worry about the eavesdroppers.
Chen Xing entered his private room 208. After a while, the new Deputy Governor Wu Hansheng also entered the hotel. Beside Wu Hansheng, there was an old acquaintance that Chen Xing knew. It was Chang Shengjun, who led the team to Nanzhou to handle the case. Chen Xing knew that Chang Shengjun was Wu Hansheng's henchman, but he didn't expect that Chang Shengjun would also be brought here.
Mayor Chen. When Chang Shengjun saw Chen Xing, he greeted him respectfully.
It's Captain Chang. We haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Chen Xing waved his hand with a smile, gesturing for Chang Shengjun to not stand on ceremony. He then looked at Wu Hansheng. Chief Wu, no, look at how I addressed him wrongly. I should be calling him Governor Wu now.
Chen Xing, you're making fun of me on purpose, aren't you? Wu Hansheng patted Chen Xing's shoulder with a smile in an intimate manner. He even changed the way he addressed Chen Xing from 'Mayor Chen' to 'Chen Xing'. There was no doubt that the relationship between the two of them had taken a big step forward. In fact, in the two days before the provincial two sessions, after Wu Hansheng's transfer was basically confirmed, the two of them had been talking on the phone frequently. At that time, Wu Hansheng had already begun to call Chen Xing affectionately, and Chen Xing had also taken the opportunity to call him 'Brother Hansheng'. Although it was more of a hypocritical courtesy, as the saying goes, 'Everyone carries the sedan chair with the sedan chair'. Although the Xiao family played a role in bringing Wu Hansheng to Nanhai Province, the most important role was still Chen Xing himself.
Wu Hansheng went one step further and became a deputy provincial cadre. The change in his status was not just a simple promotion. In the officialdom, he could indeed be regarded as a figure. Chen Xing acted as a middleman for Wu Hansheng's transfer. He achieved his goal and successfully drew Wu Hansheng to his side. However, if he became arrogant because of this and thought that he could order Wu Hansheng around like a servant, it was undoubtedly stupid. Now, Wu Hansheng was already a deputy provincial cadre. Although he had successfully drawn Wu Hansheng to his side, how to maintain and manage the relationships he had established in the future was also a skill. In fact, it was not a loss for him to call Wu Hansheng "Brother Wu".
"Governor Wu, how can you say that? It's not wrong for me to call you that, right? Captain Chang, tell me whether I called you wrongly or not. " Chen Xing looked at Chang Shengjun with a smile.
Chang Shengjun just smiled humbly and didn't say anything. The two leaders were joking with each other, and he just listened on the side.
After some greetings, Wu Hansheng sat next to Chen Xing. The two of them were not strangers. Chen Xing glanced at Chang Shengjun and asked directly, "Brother Hansheng, you asked Captain Chang to come to the South China Sea. Do you want to transfer him here as well?
Yes, I'm a blind man in Nanhai Province. I need a right-hand man I can trust. I believe you know Shengjun's ability, Chen Xing. It will save me a lot of trouble if I transfer him here to help me. " Wu Hansheng nodded.
"That's true." Chen Xing understood Wu Hansheng's thoughts. It was normal for many leaders to bring one or two confidants to a new place.
Not long after the two sat down, Lu Xiaojing and Huang Ming came in. Chen Xing immediately stood up and introduced them to Wu Hansheng. "Brother Hansheng, this is Huang Ming, a good friend of mine since high school. This is Miss Lu. Now they are a couple. This Jindu Hotel is their business. Brother Wu, please take care of me in the future.
Chen Xing, with you here, I don't need to take care of you. " Wu Hansheng also stood up with a smile and nodded to Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing. His action was undoubtedly giving face to Chen Xing. To two unrelated people, he could stand up and pay his respects. His attitude said everything.
"Governor Wu, we are in the hotel business, and we need your help." Lu Xiaojing said with a smile.
"If you really need my help, you can tell me. But I don't think I have a chance with Chen Xing here." Wu Hansheng glanced at Lu Xiaojing and smiled indifferently. His eyes swept in the direction of Chen Xing. Since Chen Xing deliberately introduced these two people, it showed that their relationship was unusual. If they really needed his help, he didn't mind helping them. Anyway, he didn't mind being closely tied to Chen Xing now.
"Brother Hansheng, I don't deserve your praise. Who doesn't know that you have a high position when we sit together?" Chen Xing laughed.
"High position is just the surface." Wu Hansheng smiled disapprovingly. Chen Xing was just a mayor, but he had the ability to help him move the position of deputy governor. It was meaningless to compare with Chen Xing.
"Chen Xing, you chat with Governor Wu first. We'll come over to toast later." Huang Ming said aloud. Chen Xing just wanted them to come over and get to know each other. Huang Ming also tactfully left according to the situation.
After Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing left, Wu Hansheng glanced at their departing figures with satisfaction. He liked people who were tactful and understanding.
In the private room dedicated to the mayor, Chen Xing always served the dishes very quickly. In just a few minutes, the waiter had already served the dishes. Wu Hansheng looked at Chen Xing and smiled. "Chen Xing, should we have a drink today?"
As soon as Wu Hansheng's voice fell, Chang Shengjun understood. He quickly opened the wine and poured it for Wu Hansheng and Chen Xing.
"Brother Hansheng, we still have to work in the afternoon. Are you going to get me drunk?"
"Not to that extent. I haven't drunk with you before. How do I know how much you can drink? Maybe if I want to get you drunk, you'll knock me down instead. I don't dare to do that." Wu Hansheng smiled. "We're just drinking for fun. It's fine as long as we're happy."
"In that case, I have to have a drink with Brother Hansheng. The first toast should be to you." Chen Xing picked up the wine glass and said.
They each drank a glass and then sat down. Wu Hansheng casually talked about work. "Chen Xing, as a newcomer, I plan to make some achievements first. It just so happens that Sheng Jun investigated a case in the South China Sea, which is the one you asked him to investigate. That case is still a headless case, right? It's really inexcusable that such a big case ended up unsolved in the end. I plan to continue to investigate this case. If the case is solved, it will be the first shot in the South China Sea. However, Chen Xing, you should know some of the inside stories of this case better. Do you think this case can be dug out and re-investigated? "
Wu Hansheng only asked for Chen Xing's opinion, but Chen Xing was stunned and frowned slightly. Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang's cases all had Guan Jinhui's shadow behind them. Chen Xing didn't dare to say that he had solid evidence, but based on what Lin Hong said, combined with what he had seen and thought, he believed what Lin Hong said. If Wu Hansheng wanted to use this case as an example and establish his prestige, he was afraid that it would not be a wise choice.
"Brother Hansheng, I think you have your own ideas in mind since you asked me about this." Chen Xing didn't answer directly, but asked Wu Hansheng.
I can't say what my thoughts are, but I've been in the public security work for many years. For such a big case involving the internal affairs of the public security system to be hastily closed, there must be complicated inside stories. I've asked Sheng Jun in detail, and he also said that when he was investigating in Nanzhou, he encountered resistance, both overt and covert, and this was even with the support of you, the mayor. This shows that there is a force behind the case, perhaps it's one person, or a small interest group composed of many people. I've just arrived in the South China Sea, and it's true that I want to establish my prestige, but the premise is that I must first establish a foothold. If this case can be solved by my hands, not only can I establish my prestige, but I can also completely establish a foothold. That's why I'm considering this matter.
Of course, I'm also worried that if such a big case is hastily closed, it will definitely involve some influential cadres who are in service or have retired. I'm not familiar with the South China Sea, and I haven't really established a foothold. If I touch this case easily, I'm afraid that it will bring me great trouble. That's why I want to consult your opinion first. After all, you must have a deeper understanding of this matter. It's definitely right to listen to your advice. " Wu Hansheng said with a smile. In fact, he had another idea that he didn't say. If this case continued to be investigated, Wu Hansheng could guarantee that many cadres in the public security system would be involved. If he could take this opportunity to reshuffle the power of the Provincial Department, that was what Wu Hansheng wanted to see most, and it was also his biggest goal.
"Brother Hansheng, if you really want to consult my opinion, then my personal opinion is that you can investigate, but also can't investigate." Chen Xing pondered for a moment and said cautiously.
"You can investigate, but also can't investigate? "Chen Xing, are you playing word games with me? Why am I confused?" Wu Hansheng looked at Chen Xing in confusion. Chen Xing's words were obviously contradictory.
"Brother Hansheng, do you feel that it's contradictory?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Isn't it? You're contradicting yourself." Wu Hansheng nodded.
"It's indeed contradictory. Brother Hansheng, to tell you the truth, I'm also contradictory. "I can investigate, but it's selfish of me. I hope Brother Hansheng will continue to investigate this case and get to the bottom of it, because I still want to know the answer myself. Zheng Guangfu escaped from the detention center, but he died of poisoning on the way. But the autopsy showed that he was poisoned for a long time, which means that Zheng Guangfu had been poisoned long before the accident. Who poisoned him?
"Zhang Qingyang committed suicide in prison and left a letter in blood before he died. I think Brother Hansheng has learned about the situation at that time from Captain Chang. Hey, the letter in blood also targeted me. But I'm more curious about whether Zhang Qingyang really committed suicide to escape punishment or whether someone forced him to do so." "Until now, these two questions have not been answered. In fact, I really want to know the result, but I can't interfere with the decision of the Provincial Department. Since they want to close the case, I can't say anything. So now that Brother Hansheng said that you want to reopen this case, I really want Brother Hansheng to investigate it."
As Chen Xing spoke, he paused for a moment and continued to explain his meaning. "The latter part of not investigating is a suggestion I made to Brother Hansheng from a rational point of view. No one knows how wide and deep this case is. I'm worried that if we dig deeper, it will cause trouble. Just as Brother Hansheng said, you've just arrived in the South China Sea and haven't gained a firm foothold. I'm afraid it's not wise to rashly investigate such a case. So rationally, I don't think it's appropriate to investigate it for the time being. But selfishly, I want Brother Hansheng to investigate it."
"Chen Xing, I'm also worried about what you said. Every place has its own complicated power network. If I investigate this case, I may face some people's counterattack. I'm mentally prepared for this, but it's mainly because I don't know much about the South China Sea, which makes me more afraid. That's why I want to ask for your opinion." Wu Hansheng sighed.
"Speaking of understanding, Brother Hansheng, I've only arrived a few months earlier than you. I'm afraid I don't know much more than you do." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"That's not necessarily true. You can learn a lot in a few months." Wu Hansheng smiled.
Wu Hansheng was smiling, but his face looked a little more serious. Wu Hansheng attached great importance to Chen Xing's thoughts. Now, even Chen Xing didn't support turning over this case, which made Wu Hansheng, who was quite eager to start with this case, unable to hide his disappointment. But Chen Xing was right. This case involved a lot of people. Even the original director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau committed suicide in prison. If this case could really be dug up, how deep would the inside story be? It wasn't that Wu Hansheng couldn't analyze this, so at this moment, he had to be cautious.
"Chief Wu, Mayor Chen, although Zheng Guangfu's case and Zhang Qingyang's case are connected, they can also be regarded as two separate cases. Can we investigate Zheng Guangfu's poisoning case first and leave Zhang Qingyang's case alone? If we know our limits, maybe we won't encounter too much resistance." Chang Shengjun suddenly said.
"Hey, we can try this. It's really feasible to separate this case." Wu Hansheng's eyes lit up. "Chen Xing, what do you think?
If Brother Hansheng thinks it's okay, then I have no objection. " Chen Xing smiled. Maybe, as Zheng Guangfu said, if they didn't touch Zhang Qingyang's case for the time being, it wouldn't cause too much backlash from the mastermind behind the scenes. Of course, it was just a possibility. Chen Xing didn't know the real answer, so he couldn't make any assertions.
"Well, then I'll go back and learn more about it before making a decision." Seeing that Chen Xing didn't object this time, Wu Hansheng also nodded, but he didn't make a decision immediately. He had to be careful about this matter.
While Wu Hansheng was thinking, Chen Xing thought of something and asked, "Brother Hansheng, have you visited Guan Jinhui after you took office?
"Yes, I have. After all, Guan Jinhui is an old leader of the Provincial Department. I've just arrived in Nanhai, and I'm taking over his position. Of course, I have to visit him." Wu Hansheng said jokingly. The most important thing was that he also knew that Guan Jinhui had some relationship with the Xiao family. This time, he was able to get promoted because Chen Xing was helping the Xiao family with the work. Therefore, he could also become the deputy governor because of the Xiao family. Now, it was not wrong to say that he and Guan Jinhui had the same origin. It was natural for him to visit Guan Jinhui, and he could also ask Guan Jinhui for advice and discuss work problems. Guan Jinhui had been the head of the Nanhai Provincial Department for nearly eight years. It was definitely beneficial to get some advice from Guan Jinhui.
However, Wu Hansheng definitely wouldn't mention the discussion with Chen Xing in front of Guan Jinhui.
"Brother Hansheng, what do you think of Guan Jinhui?" Chen Xing continued to ask.
"Chen Xing, if you want me to make an evaluation, you're making things difficult for me. I've only met Guan Jinhui once. How can I know anything about him?" Wu Hansheng said with a smile. After hesitating for a moment, he added, "My impression of Guan Jinhui is not bad. Guan Jinhui has always been amiable. He shouldn't be a difficult person to get along with."
"Really?" Chen Xing smiled and said nothing more.
"What? What does Chen Xing want to say?" Wu Hansheng looked at Chen Xing in confusion.
"No, I've visited Guan Jinhui's home several times. In front of him, I have to call him Uncle Guan. I know him better than Brother Hansheng. I also agree with what Brother Hansheng said just now." Chen Xing said with a smile. He didn't tell the truth. Some guesses were just guesses. There was no need to say more.
For the rest of the time, the two of them chatted more. The meal lasted until almost one o 'clock before they left the hotel. After Chen Xing returned to his office, he took a nap for half an hour. He was awakened by a knock on the door. Huang Jianghua walked in. "Mayor Chen, Director Yang wants to see you."
"Let her in." Chen Xing nodded calmly, but he was secretly unhappy. He had already told Yang Hong not to come to his office often. It was fine if it was once or twice, but it was so frequent. It would inevitably cause some criticism. Although the two of them had an unusual relationship, it was even more important to keep it a secret. Chen Xing didn't like Yang Hong to come to his office often. If it was seen by others, who wouldn't think of something?
Yang Hong walked in. She was still wearing a black suit and skirt. This was the work attire she often wore to work. She wore flesh-colored stockings on her legs and looked extremely beautiful.
Huang Jianghua quietly closed the door. As a secretary, he was undoubtedly the person closest to the leader. He knew the leader's work and life better than anyone else. Whether Chen Xing and Yang Hong had an ambiguous relationship, Huang Jianghua wouldn't gossip. However, as a secretary, he obviously knew how to handle the small details.
Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come to my office? Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong and said in a low voice. His face looked somewhat serious.
Chen Xing, I'm really angry this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here. You have to help me. I can't take this lying down. Otherwise, do you think I wanted to come here? I know you're worried about being criticized and having a negative impact. I don't want to cause you any more trouble, but this afternoon, I really can't take it anymore. Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing's unhappy expression and said in an aggrieved tone.
What's the matter? Chen Xing furrowed his brows and his tone softened a little. Yang Hong's expression made it hard for him to say anything more. When a man conquered a woman, he would have to pay a corresponding price for what he got. When he got Yang Hong, he couldn't just summon her to satisfy him whenever he needed her. When he didn't need her, he couldn't just deny it.
This morning, Ceng Gaoqiang was going to inspect No.1 Middle School and the Experimental Primary School. The leaders of the Education Bureau naturally had to accompany him. They also had to socialize at noon. Ceng Gaoqiang purposely asked someone to arrange my seat next to him. Seeing that he was doing it again, I quickly wanted to switch seats with someone else. I didn't expect Ceng Gaoqiang to be prepared this time. After he said that, the others couldn't switch seats with me. I could only sit beside him. Yang Hong said angrily. I knew that he didn't have good intentions. I originally thought that if he didn't go overboard, it would be fine. I would just treat it as a dog rubbing against me. But … I didn't expect Ceng Gaoqiang to go overboard at noon.
As Yang Hong said this, her face turned red. Last time, I had the experience of sitting next to Ceng Gaoqiang. At that time, he touched my thigh under the table.
