At the end of February, Chen Xing returned to Nanzhou and presided over a meeting of the Municipal Government. With the approval of the provincial government, the Nanzhou Municipal People's Government appointed Zhou Zhijin as the Mayor's Assistant to assist Mayor Chen Xing.
Everyone knew that Zhou Zhijin's arrival in Nanzhou City was very sudden. To the people of Nanzhou City, Zhou Zhijin was a completely unfamiliar face. There were no previous records of his identity or work. It was as if such a person had appeared out of thin air. To suddenly assume the position of the mayor's assistant was a great surprise to everyone.
The city had appointed Zhou Zhijin as the mayor's assistant, and the announcement of his resume was very simple. There was only a brief introduction of his experience as a soldier and a low-level officer in the army. There was also a brief period of work experience in the ministry. After that, he was transferred to the China National Nuclear Corporation. Zhou Zhijin's work experience at the China National Nuclear Corporation was very simple, and there was no specific description of what position he had held.
Although the resume was very simple, it caused people to speculate. Zhou Zhijin's work jumped so much that it was enough to raise eyebrows. From a low-level officer in the army to a central ministry, and then to the National Nuclear Corporation, there was no connection between these systems. Zhou Zhijin had worked in these different departments, which made people even more curious about his identity. The simple resume itself showed that he was not ordinary. Most importantly, Zhou Zhijin appeared as the Mayor's Assistant. This made many people in Nanzhou City feel uneasy.
Without a doubt, those who felt uneasy were not on the same side as Chen Xing. Some were even on the opposite side.
After the meeting, Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin walked out side by side. The two walked directly to Chen Xing's office. Behind them, Shao Huadong, Jia Zhengde, Ceng Gaoqiang, and the other deputies of the Municipal Government all had different expressions on their faces. Shao Huadong hesitated for a moment, then also walked to Chen Xing's office. Ceng Gaoqiang saw this and his expression became more and more unsightly. A few days ago, they tried to rope in Shao Huadong, but they didn't succeed. Shao Huadong still hadn't expressed his position, nor did he show any intention to get close to them. This made his brother-in-law, Chen Tongjin, very angry. He repeatedly scolded Shao Huadong for being an ingrate. If he hadn't promoted Shao Huadong, Shao Huadong wouldn't have today. Now, Shao Huadong was on the same side as Chen Xing.
Zhi Jin, you are my assistant, so I can only inconvenience you for now. After walking into the office, Chen Xing smiled and patted Zhou Zhijin's shoulder. Zhou Zhijin wanted to come to Nanzhou, but he didn't have an ideal position at the moment. In fact, it wasn't that there was no position, but Chen Xing didn't want Zhou Zhijin to go to the district or county (city). Otherwise, with the Zhou family's connections, it would be easy to arrange a deputy position for Zhou Zhijin first, and then he could become the top leader of the district or county (city) after a period of time. That would be the fastest way for Zhou Zhijin, who was in politics. However, Chen Xing hoped that Zhou Zhijin would stay in the city, because that would be of help to him. If he went to the lower levels, it would be of much less help to him.
However, Zhou Zhijin's current position as the mayor's assistant was also temporary. In the end, Chen Xing hoped that Zhou Zhijin could become the deputy mayor. When there was an empty position, Zhou Zhijin would immediately take over. Right now, Zhou Zhijin's position as the mayor's assistant was clearly at the deputy department level. When he was the assistant of Xiao Guodong at the National Nuclear Corporation, Zhou Zhijin was already at the department level. When he was transferred from a state-owned enterprise to a local government, not only was he not demoted, but he was immediately promoted. Without a doubt, all of this could only be done by relying on the connections of a large family.
Zhou Zhijin listened to Chen Xing's words and casually waved his hand. He smiled and said, "Chen Xing, if I still feel wronged, then a lot of people would be banging their heads against the wall.
The elders in your family might not even be satisfied with this arrangement.
If they are not satisfied, it would be strange if they let me come here. " Zhou Zhijin smiled. If he could become the deputy mayor from the position of the mayor's assistant, his family would also be very satisfied with this result. Otherwise, why would they let him come here?
Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He didn't say anything else. He was targeting Ceng Gaoqiang. When Ceng Gaoqiang was taken down, there would be a vacancy for Zhou Zhijin to take over. This was the best of both worlds.
"Zhijin, when I am not in the city, I will need you to help me keep an eye on things." Chen Xing thought for a moment and said to Zhou Zhijin.
"Chen Xing, don't worry. We are here to fight side by side." Zhou Zhijin smiled.
As the two were talking, Shao Huadong stood at the door and knocked. Chen Xing looked back and saw it was Shao Huadong. He said, "Huadong, if you have any problems in the future, you can also discuss it with Zhijin."
Shao Huadong walked in and glanced at Zhou Zhijin. Seeing this, Chen Xing said, "Comrade Huadong, if you have any problems in the future, you can also discuss it with Zhijin."
"Okay." Shao Huadong was startled and then nodded. Chen Xing's attitude had already shown that his relationship with Zhou Zhijin was unusual, which also confirmed Shao Huadong's own speculation. Zhou Zhijin, who suddenly appeared and came to Nanzhou to be the mayor's assistant for Chen Xing, obviously had a direct relationship with Chen Xing. He was not the only one who had this speculation. After all, Zhou Zhijin came in too suddenly.
"Huadong, take a seat. You don't have to be a stranger here." Chen Xing waved his hand and turned to look at Zhou Zhijin. "Zhijin, you sit down too."
"Mayor Chen, why don't I go and learn about my job first? I am a newcomer, and I have to familiarize myself with the situation in the city." Zhou Zhijin smiled.
"Okay, then you go first. If you want to know or understand anything, you can ask Director Xiao in the office." Chen Xing said.
"Mayor Chen, did you forget that Director Xiao went out with you to attract investment? He is still outside and has not returned." Shao Huadong reminded with a smile.
"Really, look at my memory." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. "Zhijin, if you want to know anything, ask the people in the office first. When Director Xiao comes back, you can also ask him."
Zhou Zhijin nodded and then left.
Only Shao Huadong and Chen Xing were left in the office. Looking at Zhou Zhijin's back, Shao Huadong was very curious about his identity. In the end, he resisted the urge to ask Chen Xing. Instead, he asked, "Mayor Chen, how is Mr. Zhang's health?"
After all, the old man was old, and his health was not as good as before. Chen Xing looked gloomy. Mr. Zhang was actually relying on an oxygen tube to maintain his breathing, but he certainly could not be pessimistic to Shao Huadong. It was not surprising that Shao Huadong knew that Mr. Zhang was hospitalized. This kind of thing could be kept secret from the general public, but for officials like Shao Huadong who had reached a certain level, it was not surprising that he could get some information through various channels. However, Shao Huadong did not necessarily know the specific situation of Mr. Zhang. After all, Mr. Zhang's current situation was still confidential, except for those high-level officials in the central government. However, there were no leaks in the world. No matter how confidential it was, someone would know. Even if Shao Huadong knew the real situation of Mr. Zhang, Chen Xing would not be too surprised.
Old Master Zhang was indeed not young anymore. Shao Huadong listened to Chen Xing's words, nodded in agreement, and then fell silent. Listening to Chen Xing's tone, it seemed that he was not very optimistic. Shao Huadong also thought that Mr. Zhang's health might have deteriorated to a certain extent. Thinking about what Chen Tongjin had said to him before, Shao Huadong was also worried about the future of the Zhang family. Such a prominent family like the Zhang family might also fall because of Mr. Zhang's death. Even if the current second generation core of the Zhang family, Zhang Guo Hua, had been promoted to the head of the Provincial Party Committee, compared to Mr. Zhang, who was the founding father of the People's Republic, Zhang Guo Hua was really too far behind.
"Huadong, thank you for your hard work these days." Chen Xing did not want to talk more about the Old Master. Even within the Zhang family, the Old Master's health was now a taboo. Everyone knew that the Old Master's situation was very bad, but no one dared to mention how long the Old Master would live. Zhang Guo Hua, Zhang Guozhong, and other elders also looked serious these days, which made the younger generation even more afraid to breathe loudly. These days, the children of the Zhang family also dared not act like before.
On the second night Chen Xing stayed in the hospital, he saw Chairman Le Qiangmin come to the hospital at 11 o 'clock at night. At that time, the Old Master seemed to have woken up for a while. Chen Xing did not know whether the Old Master had talked with Chairman Le Qiangmin. As the younger generation, they were not qualified to enter the ward. At that time, the door of the ward was closed, so they had no way to know what was going on inside. It was only Chen Xing's personal guess whether the Old Master had really woken up or not.
During those days in the hospital, in addition to Chairman Le Qiangmin, the other two big shots of the Zhang family, Qin Changzhi, a member of the Politburo who still held important positions in the senior management of the Central Government, and Lin Jiangping, a State Councilor, also came to the hospital one after another. However, they only came once. They came at different times and were very low-key when they came. Like Chairman Le Qiangmin, they chose to come to the hospital late at night. Chen Xing could roughly imagine that when the Old Master was probably at the stage of dying, the big shots of the Zhang family did not want to give the impression that they were too nervous and anxious. If Le Qiangmin, Qin Changzhi, and Lin Jiangping came to the hospital frequently, it would leave a different impression to outsiders.
Mayor Chen, what are you talking about? As the Executive Deputy Mayor, my duty is to assist you in presiding over the overall work of the Municipal Government. When you are not here, the heavy burden of the city should be borne by me. Shao Huadong smiled.
Chen Xing nodded slightly. He was very pleased with Shao Huadong's performance. Although it was confirmed that Cheng Rong Jiang had retired from the position of the Chief Prosecutor, in the Municipal Government, at least Shao Huadong was still able to help him manage the overall situation. This was the only thing he was pleased about. What Chen Xing did not know was that when he was not here, someone had already tried to rope in Shao Huadong. They wanted Shao Huadong to leave his camp, so that he would truly become a loner without any help in the city.
By the way, the Yuan Group in Yuandong Province has already sent a letter to the city. They want to come to Nanzhou for an inspection. I wonder if Mayor Chen will be there? Shao Huadong thought of something and said to Chen Xing.
Oh, has the date been set? Chen Xing asked solemnly. The Yuan Group wanted to come for an inspection. This was also a big deal for the city.
It's set. March 1st. Shao Huadong said.
If it's March 1st, then I'll leave on the 2nd. I'll receive the Yuan Group's inspection team before leaving. Chen Xing said. As the newly elected National People's Congress representative from Nanzhou City, Chen Xing would also go to Beijing to participate in the National People's Congress. At that time, he would not be in Nanzhou for some time.
That's good. The letter sent by the Yuan Group has already been confirmed. This time, their group's Chairman Li Jiayuan will personally lead the team. Mayor Chen will at least come out to meet them. At the very least, it will show the Yuan Group that the city values them. Shao Huadong nodded.
When I was in Yangcheng, I already met Chairman Li Jiayuan once. This time, he personally led the team here. He also hopes that they can invest a large amount in Nanzhou. At that time, Four Leaf Clover Group's General Manager Zheng Jue was also in Yangcheng. If the two companies can cooperate, it will also be a good thing.
That's true. As long as the Yuan Group can invest here, it doesn't matter if they invest themselves or cooperate with other companies. For the city, there's not much difference. Shao Huadong nodded. At the mention of the Four Leaf Clover Group, he was quite surprised. That company's background made even the city's leaders wary. However, as long as they don't provoke them, it doesn't matter to him.
Not bad. It's good to win over the Yuan Group's investment. Chen Xing nodded.
The two chatted for a while, then Shao Huadong also stood up to leave. Chen Xing's secretary, Huang Jianghua, walked in after Shao Huadong left and closed the door. Seeing this, Chen Xing turned to look at Huang Jianghua. Little Chen, what's the matter?
Mayor, while you were away, Vice-Mayor Shao seemed to have gone to find Chen Tongjin. Someone saw Vice-Mayor Shao go to Chen Tongjin's house in the city's Veteran Building. Vice-Mayor Luo was also there. Huang Jianghua promptly reported what he knew to Chen Xing.
Did Chen Tongjin go to find Vice-Mayor Shao, or did Vice-Mayor Shao take the initiative? Chen Xing frowned and asked subconsciously. As soon as the question came out, Chen Xing shook his head. He knew it was impossible to get an answer.
Sure enough, Huang Jianghua smiled bitterly. Mayor, no one knew about this. Other than the few of them, the people who saw it also didn't know who was the one who found who.
Okay, I got it. Go and do your work. Chen Xing waved his hand and stopped Huang Jianghua. Assistant Zhou had just arrived and was not familiar with the city's affairs. Huang Jianghua had to do his best to help him.
Mayor, I will. Huang Jianghua nodded. He thought that the new Assistant Zhou had a special relationship with Mayor Chen.
After Huang Jianghua left, Chen Xing was silent for a short while. Shao Huadong and Chen Tongjin were in contact?
If Chen Tongjin took the initiative to find Shao Huadong, it would not be a big deal. But if Shao Huadong took the initiative, it was really worth thinking about. Chen Xing said to himself. Shao Huadong was his biggest helper in the Municipal Government. If Shao Huadong also had other ideas when Cheng Rongjiang was being schemed against, it would undoubtedly be the worst news for Chen Xing. Thinking of Shao Huadong's initiative to ask about the old master's physical condition, Chen Xing could not help but be a little suspicious. But on second thought, it was normal for Shao Huadong to ask about the old master. With the old master's status in the Party, everyone would care about his health. For the people in the Party, this was a big deal.
If the sky wanted to rain and the mother wanted to get married, let him be. Chen Xing shook his head. If Shao Huadong really had other ideas, there was nothing he could do. It was useless for him to be suspicious now. It was better to trust Shao Huadong this time.
At noon, Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin had lunch together. In addition to the two of them, Cheng Rongjiang, the Chief Prosecutor, also came. Cheng Rongjiang had recovered and was discharged from the hospital, so he should not be called the Chief Prosecutor anymore. He had been discharged from the hospital for a few days, so he had completed the handover procedures and officially retired from the position of the City Chief Prosecutor. The reason that the city announced to the public was that Cheng Rongjiang resigned was due to illness. Chen Xing did not say anything about it, but Cheng Rongjiang's transfer would be a slap in the face to everyone.
Cheng Rongjiang had recuperated, so he had to prepare to embark on a new journey. At the table, Chen Xing said to Cheng Rongjiang.
"This time, I have rested for more than ten days. I haven't rested like this for a long time. Now, I feel that I am almost rusty. I can't wait to start working again." Cheng Rongjiang said with a smile. He looked a little excited. He was not depressed at all because of his resignation from the position of the Chief Prosecutor. When Chen Xing was in the capital, he had already helped him contact a new unit to work in the Supreme People's Procuratorate. When Cheng Rongjiang first heard the news, he almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears. At that time, when Chen Xing comforted him, he did not dare to take it seriously. He was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
In the city, he really could not think of any other position that Chen Xing could arrange for him. He was at the deputy department level, so there were not many positions that could be arranged for him. Moreover, the mastermind had removed him from the position of the Chief Prosecutor, so how could he continue to work in the city? This was Cheng Rongjiang's own opinion. Ge Jian-ming, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, probably would not allow him to stay in the city. Otherwise, he would not have allowed him to retire due to illness. Cheng Rongjiang felt that it was almost impossible for Chen Xing to arrange a position for him, unless he was transferred to the province. However, the possibility was very small. Even the Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate, Qi Jiang, did not want to take him in, so where could Chen Xing send him?
However, the result proved that Chen Xing could always surprise him. He could not do anything in the province, but Chen Xing could directly use his connections to transfer him to the Supreme People's Procuratorate. When Cheng Rongjiang first heard the result from Chen Xing, he could not believe it. However, there was no reason for Chen Xing to lie to him. Cheng Rongjiang also knew that it was a blessing in disguise. He was also secretly glad that he was on Chen Xing's side. His choice at that time could not be more wise.
"Don't worry. When you get to the new position, you can continue to shine. At that time, you may not have time to rest even if you want to." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Cheng Rongjiang nodded. Working in the Supreme People's Procuratorate was the highest stage and also the most challenging for a person like him who was engaged in the discipline inspection work. He was no longer limited to one city, but the whole country. Cheng Rongjiang was very excited about being able to work in the Supreme People's Procuratorate. His only regret was that Deng Jinchun's case did not have a satisfactory ending, and he did not give Chen Xing a satisfactory explanation. This was what Cheng Rongjiang felt the most guilty about. He did not complete Chen Xing's task, but in the end, he had to ask Chen Xing to go around and help him arrange a new position. Cheng Rongjiang knew clearly that even though Chen Xing had the Zhang family as his backer, Chen Xing would have to spend a lot of effort to transfer him to the Supreme People's Procuratorate. At least, he would have to beg for help for his matter. Even if he did not beg for help, he would definitely owe others a favor.
Mayor Chen, Deng Jinchun's case. Cheng Rongjiang glanced at Chen Xing and said reluctantly. This case was not finished, and there was always a thorn in his heart.
"Cheng Rongjiang, you are walking into a dead end, aren't you? Who told you that you can't investigate Deng Jinchun's case if you work in the Supreme People's Procuratorate? Don't you think it will be more convenient for you to investigate cases if you work in the Supreme People's Procuratorate?" There was a faint smile on Chen Xing's face, but there was a hidden meaning in his words.
Cheng Rongjiang was taken aback. He looked at Chen Xing thoughtfully and immediately understood what Chen Xing meant. Chen Xing had sent him to the Supreme People's Procuratorate not only to help him settle down but also to ensure that he would not really be unemployed at home. After Cheng Rongjiang figured it out, he also laughed. This was exactly what he wanted. Just now, he was indeed unable to wrap his head around it. He thought that he would not be able to investigate Deng Jinchun's case after he went to the capital. However, he did not know that with the Supreme People's Procuratorate, he would be able to investigate Deng Jinchun's case with twice the result with half the effort.
Yesterday, I called Tang Chengjie, and Tang Chengjie said that Jing Sen would be released soon, but he would also be punished. I guess he will be like me, unable to stay in the Procuratorate anymore. The new chief prosecutor won't be able to tolerate him. If I let him stay at home and do nothing, I won't feel at ease. After all, Jing Sen also ended up like me because he investigated Deng Jinchun's case. This time, I can work in Beijing, and I hope I can bring Jing Sen with me. Cheng Rongjiang said to Chen Xing.
The new chief prosecutor, Luo Kaiyuan, is close to the Chen family? A cold light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.
Well, he should have a good relationship with Ceng Gaoqiang. This time, when I was kicked out of the Procuratorate, he became the biggest beneficiary. When I was in the hospital for a few days, he had intentionally or unintentionally set up obstacles to investigate Deng Jinchun's case. The arson incident in the archive room might have something to do with him. Unfortunately, I don't have any evidence. If I can catch him, I will deal with him first. Cheng Rongjiang clenched his fists. He wanted to give Chen Xing an explanation for Deng Jinchun's case. He wanted to end it properly. He didn't have any grudges with Deng Jinchun. However, after this incident with Luo Kaiyuan, he was filled with anger towards Luo Kaiyuan. If he had the chance, he would definitely teach Luo Kaiyuan a lesson.
No wonder he became the chief prosecutor. Chen Xing sneered.
Cheng Rongjiang nodded and asked about Xu Jingsen again. Mayor Chen, what do you think about Jing Sen's case?
Cheng Rongjiang, you can make the decision by yourself. I will ask someone to help you talk to the Supreme Procuratorate. There shouldn't be a big problem. Chen Xing nodded. He knew what Cheng Rongjiang meant. He was worried that the leaders of the Supreme Procuratorate would have a problem with bringing a person who had been punished into the Supreme Procuratorate. Chen Xing naturally didn't have any problem with Cheng Rongjiang's request. Since Cheng Rongjiang thought so highly of Xu Jingsen, he must have something extraordinary about him.
When Cheng Rongjiang heard Chen Xing's words, he smiled happily. In this way, this matter had finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.
As long as he solved Deng Jinchun's case, he wouldn't have any regrets. Cheng Rongjiang's face gradually became serious. Luo Kaiyuan could be dealt with slowly, but Deng Jinchun's case was a thorn in his heart. Because of this case, he even lost his position as the chief prosecutor. Although he had a better place to go now, if he didn't solve this case and find out the person behind it, Cheng Rongjiang would never be satisfied. This time, Cheng Rongjiang would definitely have a good fight with Ceng Gaoqiang or the Chen family behind him. With the name of the Supreme Procuratorate, he didn't believe that Ceng Gaoqiang could play any more tricks. He didn't believe that Ceng Gaoqiang had the ability to plot against people in the capital.
Deng Jinchun's case must be solved, and the people involved should not be let go. No matter who was involved, they must be punished by the law according to the law. Cheng Rongjiang's face gradually became serious. He still wanted Zhou Zhijin to take over Ceng Gaoqiang's position. If he didn't take down Ceng Gaoqiang, there would be no vacancy. Now, Chen Xing and Ceng Gaoqiang were no longer simple grudges. Whether it was Ceng Gaoqiang plotting against Cheng Rongjiang or Lu Ming, Chen Xing was like fire and water with Ceng Gaoqiang. No matter how much the Chen family wanted to protect Ceng Gaoqiang, Chen Xing also made up his mind this time. Chen Tongjin was the former Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. If he wanted to enjoy his old age, Chen Xing didn't want to make things difficult for Chen Tongjin. However, if Chen Tongjin insisted on going against him to the end for Ceng Gaoqiang, Chen Xing would never respect his identity as the former Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Mayor Chen, don't worry. I want to find out the person behind the scenes more than you do. Cheng Rongjiang's face was gloomy. Although he didn't mention Ceng Gaoqiang's name, deep in his heart, Cheng Rongjiang had already gnashed his teeth and wanted to take down Ceng Gaoqiang. Previously, when he was the city's chief prosecutor, even if Deng Jinchun brought Ceng Gaoqiang out, the city's procuratorate was not qualified to investigate a provincial official like Ceng Gaoqiang. But now, as long as Deng Jinchun spoke, Cheng Rongjiang could directly take Ceng Gaoqiang away for investigation by using the name of the Supreme Procuratorate.
Well, I still have the old saying, waiting for your good news. Chen Xing nodded.
When Chen Xing, Cheng Rongjiang, and Zhou Zhijin were having lunch, Cheng Rongjiang's personnel transfer was also in progress. The Supreme Procuratorate had already sent someone to Nanzhou City to retrieve Cheng Rongjiang's personnel file. The news was spread out immediately.
In the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming, who didn't go back to his office at noon, was stunned for a while after hearing the news. After a while, Ge Jian-ming sighed helplessly. Cheng Rongjiang and Chen Xing were on the same side. Ge Jian-ming took advantage of the opportunity to take down Cheng Rongjiang. For him, he didn't do anything wrong. The officialdom was a cruel and indifferent place. If Cheng Rongjiang wanted to be on the same side as Chen Xing, then it was normal for him to do so. However, he didn't expect that this time, Chen Xing would take Cheng Rongjiang to the Supreme Procuratorate. This result was beyond everyone's expectation.
Ge Jian-ming frowned and thought for a while. Soon, his expression relaxed, and he even smiled. Since Chen Xing had invested so much in Cheng Rongjiang, this matter was not over. Ceng Gaoqiang, Chen Tongjin, and the others must be very anxious. On the contrary, this matter had nothing to do with him. He took down Cheng Rongjiang.
Even if he didn't take a stand, Cheng Rongjiang wouldn't be able to continue to be the chief prosecutor. Ceng Gaoqiang, Chen Tongjin, and the others must have other tricks up their sleeves. Speaking of which, Cheng Rongjiang would hate Ceng Gaoqiang and the others more. He could sit back and watch the show. Now that Cheng Rongjiang had the name of the Supreme Procuratorate, there would be a good show to watch in the future. The fiercer Chen Xing, Ceng Gaoqiang, Chen Tongjin, and the other local people fought against each other, the more it would benefit him.
The old man of the Zhang Family had one foot in the door of hell, but Chen Xing was still able to stir up trouble. Ge Jian-ming sneered. The old man of the Zhang Family was now relying on an oxygen tank to maintain his breathing. The whole Zhang Family was very nervous now. Chen Xing didn't seem to have restrained himself at all. He wanted to see how long Chen Xing could continue to be arrogant. If the old man of the Zhang Family left, the Zhang Family would definitely not be as strong as before. It was hard to say whether the Zhang Family, the big faction of the Zhang Family, would fall apart. God knew how many people were waiting to watch the show. In the future, Chen Xing, the son-in-law of the Zhang Family, would not be as afraid as before.
But then again, no matter how much the Zhang family declined, in a short period of time, the Zhang family was still a formidable behemoth. Vice Chairman Xiao of the Military Commission, who could also be regarded as the son-in-law of the Zhang family, would still be in power in the next term. After all, the Zhang family was still a prominent family, just not as powerful as before.
The life of the old man of the Zhang Family was worth it. Ge Jianming murmured to himself and sighed with emotion. To be able to stand at the peak of power, and to have the Zhang family flourish, Old Master Zhang was already many times luckier than many of the founding fathers of the country. During the ten years of catastrophe, countless founding fathers had fallen in that period of time. Those who had survived were all the most prominent figures of the country. Old Master Zhang had once again become one of the most outstanding figures among them, bringing the Zhang family to such heights. His life was truly a touching one.
Ge Jian-ming thought about the Zhang Family for a while and then stopped thinking about it. It was not his place to worry about the affairs of the old man of the Zhang Family. There were some people who were anxious and worried about the old man of the Central Government, but there were also some people who pretended to care about the old man but were secretly gloating. A game about when the old man of the Zhang Family would pass away had probably been going on secretly, but only the big shots of the Zhang Family were qualified to participate in it. Ge Jian-ming knew that as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he was extremely distinguished and honorable in the eyes of the ordinary people. But in the eyes of the senior officials, he was also just a chess piece on the chessboard.
When Ge Jian-ming got the news, Ceng Gaoqiang was not much slower than him. He went directly to Chen Tongjin's house for lunch. Ceng Gaoqiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "Brother-in-law, what should we do? Chen Xing, that b * stard, is not satisfied and still wants to kill us.
What's the hurry? I had the ability to take Deng Jinchun's money in the past. Now I know it's useless to be anxious. " Chen Tongjin glared at Ceng Gaoqiang fiercely. He was also in a bad mood. For the sake of Ceng Gaoqiang, he was also very busy this time. He even asked Shen Lingyue and Yang Pingping to cooperate with him. It could be said that Chen Tongjin had spent a lot of effort to take Cheng Rongjiang from the position of the chief prosecutor and then promoted Deputy Chief Prosecutor Luo Kaiyuan, who was close to the Chen Family, to the position. This was not something that he could solve by just opening his mouth. After all, he had retired from the position of the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for several years. It was a common thing in the officialdom that a person was gone. He had already put in a lot of effort to do this. Now it was said that Cheng Rongjiang would be transferred to the Supreme People's Procuratorate. Chen Tongjin was also very angry. His previous scheme had been slapped hard in the face.
"Brother-in-law, even if I return the money now, there is no place for me to return it. Instead, I will be accused of corruption." Ceng Gaoqiang smiled bitterly. In front of Chen Tongjin, he could only pretend to be pitiful. This was his usual trick. He also knew that Chen Tongjin would not really ignore him.
"Dad, even if that surnamed Cheng is transferred to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, what can he do in Nanzhou? This is our territory. If a dragon comes, he has to coil up. If a tiger comes, he has to lie down. If soldiers come, we will deal with it. What is there to be afraid of?" Chen Dafei curled his lips. His relationship with Deng Wenhua was very good now. The two of them hung out all day long. Even Chen Xing did not dare to do anything to Deng Wenhua. Chen Dafei was now arrogant.
"If you used your ability to eat, drink, and have fun on your brain, I might be able to live for a few more years. I won't be angered to death by you so early." Chen Tongjin looked at his son angrily. He only had this son when he was in his forties. He treasured him so much that his son became like this. Chen Tongjin regretted spoiling his son. His son had already grown up. He could not discipline him even if he wanted to.
"I'm not wrong. Even if Cheng Rong Jiang is transferred to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, what can he do? If he really comes to Nanzhou to investigate, hmph, I guarantee that he won't find anything." Chen Dafei held his head high.
"Dafei, did Deng Wenhua say when Lu Ming will leave?" Ceng Gaoqiang turned his head to look at Chen Dafei.
"Soon, Lu Ming will not stay in the Public Security Bureau for long. If he dares to bring people to investigate the Blue River Club, heh, it's no different from provoking the Taisui. Deng Wenhua will definitely try his best to get rid of Lu Ming." Chen Dafei grinned. This matter was directed by him and Ceng Gaoqiang. But soon, Chen Dafei slightly frowned. "I heard from Deng Wenhua that the new Deputy Governor Wu of the province has intentionally or unintentionally spread the news that he will protect Lu Ming. This is a thorny problem."
"Deputy Governor Wu? That means Director Wu of the Provincial Department. How did he get involved with Lu Ming? " Ceng Gaoqiang was puzzled.
"I'm not sure. Who knows if the new Deputy Governor Wu is stupid." When Chen Dafei talked about Wu Hansheng, he did not have any respect at all.
"Don't worry about Lu Ming. He is just a pawn of Chen Xing. Now that Cheng Rong Jiang has been transferred to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, if he returns, Deng Jinchun's case will be investigated by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
At that time, there will be a lot of trouble. " Chen Tongjin said worriedly.
"That's right. It wasn't easy to kick Cheng Rong Jiang away and promote Luo Kaiyuan to the position of the Chief Prosecutor. At first, Chen Tongjin thought that Luo Kaiyuan will suppress this case.

"Shao Huadong is Shao Huadong. Don't divert the topic." Chen Tongjin put his hand on his forehead. He was so angry that his blood pressure rose.
"Brother-in-law, don't be angry, or you will feel uncomfortable." Seeing Chen Tongjin's expression, Ceng Gaoqiang said hurriedly.
You're the reason why I'm so angry.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Brother-in-law, calm down.
