At sunrise, the river was more red than fire, and in spring, the river was as green as blue.
At the beginning of February in the Southern Province, before spring had yet to arrive, the feeling of spring had already quietly climbed up the branches. The sun overhead seemed to be announcing that winter was about to leave and the footsteps of spring were quietly approaching. The temperature in the twenties during the day made people not feel the slightest chill of winter.
On February 5th, after the city-wide ecological environment work conference, Chen Xing led the municipal environmental protection department, public utility management department, landscaping department and other relevant departments directly under the municipal government to inspect the roads along the central urban area and the inner city river and other areas to guide the urban ecological environment construction and urban road greening. The city leaders who accompanied the inspection were Vice Mayor Zeng Gaoqiang, Vice Mayor Ma Linping, and Secretary General of the Municipal Government Jiang Bingxuan.
This year, the goal of our city is to win the title of the top ten ecological environment cities in the country. Nanzhou has a good ecological environment foundation, and the urban greening rate is among the best in the capital cities of the country, but we have never won the title of the top ten ecological environment cities in the country, which explains a big problem. Chen Xing stood on the edge of the inner city river fence, pointed to the not very clean river, and said to Zeng Ping, the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau next to him, "I think this river is far from the standard. What goals to achieve this year and how many tasks to complete, as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, you should have a clear plan in your mind and an account in your heart. Your Environmental Protection Bureau said that funds are tight. This year, the city also gave you a special financial inclination, more than one billion yuan of funds. I hope to see the urban environment can be improved again.
Mayor Chen, you can rest assured that this year we will do our best to live up to the hopes of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the people of the city. " Zeng Ping vowed that up to 1.6 billion yuan of financial allocation was in his hands. Although the municipal finance did not allocate it to the Environmental Protection Bureau at one time, but divided it into four quarterly installments, the Environmental Protection Bureau had changed. Zeng Ping now went out to socialize. In front of other brother departments, his face showed that he was not short of money, and his whole person was full of heroic spirit.
This year's environmental protection work is mainly focused on the renovation of the inland river, combined with the construction of public infrastructure in the city, to improve the level of greening and beautification of the city according to local conditions. Your environmental protection department should communicate and coordinate with other departments and do a good job in cooperation. Chen Xing glanced at Zeng Ping and said.
While Chen Xing and Zeng Ping were talking, Ceng Gaoqiang stood at the side with a blank expression. He was the deputy mayor in charge of science, education, culture and public health, environmental protection, safety production, power supply, food and drug supervision, and so on. Most of the departments in charge were in charge of Zhang Xinjun before he took over. Today's inspection, if it were not for the fact that he was in charge of the environmental department, Ceng Gaoqiang would not have come. Now, as long as he appeared in the same place as Chen Xing, Ceng Gaoqiang would be very unhappy, but he could not show it on his face.
In the past two days, Ceng Gaoqiang had been suppressing another wave of anger in his heart. The procuratorate suddenly increased the intensity of the interrogation of Deng Jinchun, which really made Ceng Gaoqiang anxious. When Deng Jinchun was arrested by the procuratorate, Ceng Gaoqiang was anxious at first, but he was not too worried later, because the attitude of the chief prosecutor, Cheng Rong Jiang, was a little vague. He did not really support Chen Xing, and the interrogation of Deng Jinchun was more like a formality. This made Ceng Gaoqiang feel relieved. As long as Cheng Rong Jiang did not really listen to Chen Xing, he did not need to worry too much.
However, since the day before yesterday, the direction of the wind seemed to have suddenly changed. His informants in the procuratorate had already made a few calls to him. Not only had the interrogation of Deng Jinchun increased, but Deng Jinchun seemed to be unable to hold on. Ceng Gaoqiang was very anxious. At this time, how could he still be in the mood to follow Chen Xing for an inspection?
Chen Xing did not deliberately pay attention to Ceng Gaoqiang's expression. In his eyes, Ceng Gaoqiang was a person who would be taken down sooner or later. Chen Xing was too lazy to pay too much attention to him.
Ma Linping, the deputy mayor, was in charge of agriculture, forestry, and water conservancy. He would also accompany the inspection because Chen Xing would be visiting the Nanzhou Ecological Agricultural Park later. It was the ecological agricultural enterprise base of Nanzhou City, which basically integrated the ecological agricultural industry chain of Nanzhou City. It was a green ecological agricultural industrial zone that the city focused on building.
Ma Linping was a member of the Democratic Party. He did not have a particularly strong backer in the province. In the city, he belonged to the kind of marginalized city leaders. The government must be equipped with a deputy member of the Democratic Party. Ma Linping was lucky to be promoted for this reason. Therefore, his sense of existence in the city was not strong, and he could not squeeze into the core power level of the city. He was not a city leader who was not a member of the Standing Committee, nor was he qualified. He usually looked down and concentrated on his own work. He did not cause trouble and did not dare to reach out for any benefits. Ma Linping knew that he did not have the confidence.
Ma Linping had been elected deputy mayor for three years, but his position in the Municipal Government was lower than that of Ceng Gaoqiang, who had just been promoted at the end of last year. This was because Ceng Gaoqiang had the support of the Chen family. Ceng Gaoqiang's words and actions were tougher than Ma Linping's. Compared to Ma Linping, more people would listen to Ceng Gaoqiang's words. Ma Linping was a member of the Democratic Party.
Seeing Ceng Gaoqiang standing quietly behind Chen Xing, Ma Linping originally wanted to say a few words to Ceng Gaoqiang, but when he saw Ceng Gaoqiang's face, as if someone owed him millions of dollars, Ma Linping's thought faded. Anyway, he was the kind of person who stood aloof from worldly affairs. He would not fight with others for benefits, and others would not take the initiative to bully him. Therefore, Ma Linping did not particularly want to please anyone. Ceng Gaoqiang seemed to be in a bad mood, so Ma Linping did not want to get close to him again. Ceng Gaoqiang seemed to be in a bad mood. Ma Linping did not want to get close to him again.
It was not that no one had noticed Ceng Gaoqiang's look, but no one would think much about Deng Jinchun's case. After all, Deng Jinchun had been in prison for more than a month, and there was no movement. Everyone had almost forgotten that Deng Jinchun was arrested by the Procuratorate. As the director of the First Hospital and the deputy director of the Sanitary Bureau, he had many interests with Ceng Gaoqiang. At the beginning, when Deng Jinchun had an accident, some people would still think of it. However, after Deng Jinchun was arrested, there seemed to be no movement, so everyone forgot about it. How could they connect Ceng Gaoqiang's seemingly bad mood at the moment with Deng Jinchun's case?
By the end of this year, we will strive to make the roadside green with shade, the riverbank beautiful, green with flowers, and the river rippling. Mayor Chen, this is the task set by the Environmental Protection Bureau. Of course, this goal also needs the joint efforts of other brother departments, but we will do our best. After Chen Xing's speech, Zeng Ping always expressed his positive attitude. Ceng Gaoqiang, the leader in charge next to him, did not say a word, and his face did not look good. However, Zeng Ping did not care about Ceng Gaoqiang's face. Now, if he was asked to follow Chen Xing's footsteps, Zeng Ping would be very willing. Just for the more than one billion special funds, Zeng Ping admired Chen Xing's courage and determination.
A group of people walked along the embankment of the inner city river. The greening on both sides of the river was good, but the river water was a little smelly. Chen Xing knew that water quality control and improvement would not be a problem overnight. As the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day, so he did not blame or criticize the Environmental Protection Bureau for not doing a good job.
After inspecting the construction of several urban public infrastructure in the urban area, Chen Xing pointed out that this year, the city would plan to build two new large-scale comprehensive parks in the urban area to create more natural and harmonious leisure space for the citizens.
After the inspection of the urban area, Chen Xing led a group of people to the ecological agricultural park on the outskirts of the city. Just a moment ago, the sun was shining brightly, but now the weather suddenly changed. When Chen Xing and his group arrived at the ecological agricultural park, the sky began to drizzle, but not heavily.
When Chen Xing got out of the car, a staff member hurried over to hold an umbrella for him. Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. The rain wasn't heavy, and it wasn't a bad thing to get caught in it occasionally. Spring hadn't arrived yet, but I felt like the spring rain had arrived early.
The arrival of the spring rain is a good sign, which means that the development of our Nanzhou will go to a higher level this year. Ma Linping said with a smile. Now that Chen Xing was inspecting the field he was in charge of, Ma Linping naturally would not remain silent as before. Ceng Gaoqiang did not speak, so it was Ceng Gaoqiang's business.
The group of people visited the park. Not far away, they saw a basketball game organized by a company. Chen Xing could not help but stop to watch. The person in charge of the park hurriedly explained to Chen Xing that this was a basketball game between the management and the employees of Huinong Food Company. It had been played for several afternoons, and every afternoon it was very lively.
Well, if this kind of sports activity was well organized, it was part of the construction of corporate culture. We should organize more such group activities, not only to exercise the body, but also to increase the communication between the management and the employees of the enterprise, and enrich the spiritual life of the enterprise. Chen Xing said with a smile, and his expression was full of admiration. Thinking of the scene when he was in college, he said with a smile again, "When I was in college, I also rushed around on the basketball court, but now I can't rush anymore. I am old."
If the mayor said that he was old, then a large group of people did not know what to say. Jiang Bingxuan, the secretary general of the government, said at this time. He was still sitting in the position of the secretary general, and it seemed that he would not be transferred for the time being. Chen Xing did not show such an intention for a while. At least for now, Jiang Bingxuan's position was saved, which made Jiang Bingxuan feel like he had survived a disaster. Now he also wanted to follow Chen Xing wholeheartedly.
Seeing that Chen Xing was watching the game with interest, Jiang Bingxuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Mayor, I think we can also let the office organize a basketball game for all the departments and agencies of the Municipal Government. This time, we should let the leaders also participate. We can't just let the subordinates play, and the leaders stand on the side and watch."
"I think it's possible. Let the leaders actively participate, it can cultivate the unity and cooperation between the leaders and the subordinates. This basketball is a team activity. Ten people play a game, and individual ability can not play a big role. The key is to rely on cooperation." Chen Xing smiled and agreed with Jiang Bingxuan's proposal.
Chen Xing stopped for a while, then continued to visit the park. It was still raining, like a drizzle. Because Chen Xing did not hold an umbrella, other leaders of the Municipal Government, the park, and related staff who accompanied the inspection were also embarrassed to hold an umbrella. Fortunately, the rain was very light, so no one felt anything. Only Ceng Gaoqiang looked a little unhappy. He liked to apply hair gel and combed his hair every day until it was shiny. The raindrops fell on his head, which made Ceng Gaoqiang very unhappy. However, there was no one holding an umbrella beside him, so he was embarrassed to ask the staff to hold an umbrella for him. So he blamed it on Chen Xing again.
The group of people walked on the cement road of the park and visited the enterprises in the park. The greenery in the park made Chen Xing praise. He turned to Ma Linping and said, "Comrade Ma Linping, I think we can apply for the National Demonstration Park of the Ministry of Agriculture for this ecological agricultural park. At that time, it will be easier to get funds.
Mayor Chen's suggestion is very timely. I will take the lead in doing this later. " Ma Linping's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Xing's words. This time, the Ministry had allocated more than 10 million yuan of special agricultural funds to the ecological agricultural park in Nanzhou City. Although it was not a lot, it was still an extra income. It would be a waste not to take this kind of money. Ma Linping faintly knew that Chen Xing had asked someone in the capital to ask for help. This made Ma Linping, who had gone to the Ministry to ask for funds before, sigh. When he went there, he did not know how many times he had hit a wall. It was difficult to get through the door, and their faces were ugly. It could be used to describe the people in the Ministry. It was not easy to ask for funds or policies at all. Chen Xing did not even need to go there personally, and he could get the Ministry to allocate more than 10 million yuan.
This was true ability. But then again, more than 10 million yuan was not a lot. This was probably the reason why Chen Xing did not need to go to the capital personally to get the funds allocated. If it was a few hundred million yuan of funds, even if Chen Xing had a lot of face, he would still have to go there personally. He would have to worship Buddha and burn incense.
As they toured and listened to the park's staff introduce the development of the park and the overall situation of the ecological agricultural development in Nanzhou City, Chen Xing would raise his own questions and opinions from time to time. At first, the more reserved staff saw that Chen Xing was very friendly and easygoing. Very soon, the staff in the park who had never had direct contact with the mayor relaxed a lot. After close contact with the mayor, they realized that the mayor was very approachable, and not as high and mighty as they had imagined.
Therefore, along the way, whether it was the person in charge of the park introducing the situation of the park to Chen Xing, or the park's corporate researchers explaining some professional knowledge to Chen Xing, they all felt extremely relaxed. When a corporate researcher patiently explained some new ecological and green crops to Chen Xing, he would often look at Chen Xing with a puzzled expression. He even joked a little, "Different professions are like different mountains. Mayor, you can command thousands of troops and manage the development of a city, but when it comes to this kind of professional knowledge about crops, you, Mayor, can't possibly know very well."
The reason the researchers dared to joke like this was undoubtedly because the impression that Chen Xing had left on them was very effective. Regarding this, Chen Xing also had a smile on his face. Chen Xing had a lot of respect for these researchers who fought on the frontlines. In a working meeting of the Municipal Government, when talking about the work of the Municipal Government, Chen Xing once pointed out that science and technology were the number one productive force, and the core of technology was talent. All scientific and technological talents were the most precious wealth for the development of Nanzhou City. We should value them, care for them, love them, and create a good working and living environment for them so that the researchers who silently contributed to the development of Nanzhou City could peacefully engage in development and research.
At the same time, we should also strive to attract even more outstanding scientific talents to develop in Nanzhou City, and work hard for the development and construction of Nanzhou City. The city will come up with more policies and benefits to attract outstanding talents, and vigorously develop the talent introduction program.
This was what Chen Xing had said in a working meeting of the Municipal Government. This fully demonstrated the importance he attached to the development of science and technology. Environmental protection, education, and science and technology, these were the basic core of Chen Xing's governance philosophy.
When the inspection of the ecological agricultural park ended, it was already close to five o 'clock. The group of people returned to the city. The other departments all went back to their units, and Chen Xing also went straight back to his office.
The chief prosecutor, Cheng Rong Jiang, was waiting in Chen Xing's office. On his way back, Chen Xing had already received a call.
Cheng Rong Jiang had arrived. Chen Xing walked to the door of the office, beckoned Cheng Rong Jiang in, and asked Huang Jianghua to close the door. Chen Xing reckoned that Cheng Rong Jiang had come at this time because there had been some progress in Deng Jinchun's case.
Mayor, at least I didn't break my promise to you. There has been a breakthrough in Deng Jinchun's case. Cheng Rong Jiang said to Chen Xing with a smile. His face was full of joy. His trusted subordinate, Xu Jingsen, did not let him down. It only took him three days to pry open Deng Jinchun's mouth. After Cheng Rong Jiang received Xu Jingsen's report, he immediately contacted Chen Xing and rushed to the Municipal Government.
Really. Even though Chen Xing had some speculations in his heart, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face. Looking at the calendar on the table, Chen Xing smiled. Amazing, it only took him three days. Cheng Rong Jiang, you really know how to surprise me.
It's the people below that did not disappoint me. In fact, I didn't do anything. Cheng Rong Jiang smiled, and his face quickly became serious. Mayor, Deng Jinchun confessed that he had given Ceng Gaoqiang a million yuan.
A million yuan? That's quite a lot. Chen Xing sneered. Actually, it wasn't a lot. However, it was a confession. With this, even if Ceng Gaoqiang didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin. If he wanted to stay in the Deputy Mayor's position, he wouldn't even think about it.
One million yuan wasn't a small amount. However, I guessed that Deng Jinchun didn't tell the whole truth. He purposely lowered the number. I asked my people to dig deeper to see if they could get more information from Ceng Gaoqiang. Cheng Rong Jiang said.
It's okay. It's good if there's information, but it doesn't matter if there's no information. What Deng Jinchun has confessed is enough to make Ceng Gaoqiang suffer a big loss. Chen Xing's face was full of smiles. Apparently, he was in a good mood. He looked at Cheng Rong Jiang and thought that there had been no progress for more than a month. This time, there was a result in three days. It's clear that attitude determines everything.
Cheng Rong Jiang didn't know what Chen Xing was thinking. Mayor, now that Deng Jinchun has confessed to Ceng Gaoqiang, this case is beyond the jurisdiction of our Procuratorate. Do you think we should report it to the Provincial Procuratorate or the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?
That's a problem. Chen Xing also frowned. We've succeeded in digging out Ceng Gaoqiang. However, Ceng Gaoqiang was a provincial cadre, so the Municipal Procuratorate couldn't investigate him. They needed a higher-level discipline inspection agency. Chen Xing should think about what to do next. Now that he had something on Ceng Gaoqiang, he had to think about how to operate it. Only by doing it properly could he achieve the greatest goal.
While Chen Xing was frowning, a person called Chen Xing. It was Guan Jinhui. Chen Xing was surprised. He picked up the phone and said with a smile, "Uncle Guan, what's up?
It's nothing. As soon as he retires, he can't stay idle. Chen Xing, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together. " Guan Jinhui said on the phone.
Since Uncle Guan invited me, I must go. Chen Xing agreed with a smile.
Chen Xing agreed readily. Guan Jinhui was also very happy. He said with a smile, "Well, it's a deal. See you tonight."
Guan Jinhui hung up the phone and saw another person sitting next to him. It was Chen Tongjin, the former secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Chen Tongjin had heard the conversation between Guan Jinhui and Chen Xing just now. At this time, he still asked, "Did he agree?
Yes, he has to give me face. " Guan Jinhui smiled and glanced at Chen Tongjin. Old Chen, I think it's time for you to get your brother-in-law to restrain himself. From what I know, Chen Xing isn't someone who's easy to talk to. So, I can only do my best tonight. I don't dare to make any promises.
