On March 23rd, Chen Xing presided over the mayor's office meeting. Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Executive Vice Mayor Shao Huadong, Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Vice Mayor Jia Zhengde, Vice Mayor Tong Zhengkai, Vice Mayor Ma Linping, Secretary General Jiang Bingxuan, Assistant Mayor Zhou Zhijin and other municipal leaders attended the meeting.
Since Ceng Gaoqiang had been taken away by the people from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, his original seat was empty, and Zhou Zhijin was now sitting in Ceng Gaoqiang's seat. Regarding the seating arrangement today, many people quietly looked at Chen Xing, who was sitting in the middle. There was no doubt that this must have been done under Chen Xing's instructions. Zhou Zhijin's seat was arranged in front of the government secretary, Jiang Bingxuan, directly replacing Ceng Gaoqiang. This made many people secretly speculate in their hearts. After all, the seating arrangement between leaders was very particular, and not everyone could sit at will.
At the meeting, Xiao Yuanqing, the director of the General Office of the Municipal Government, reported on the Implementation Opinions on Establishing the Press Spokesperson System of the Municipal Government (Draft for Review). The Opinions were approved in principle and suggestions for revision and improvement were put forward. At the same time, the work of the first quarter that was about to end was reviewed and summarized, and the work of the second quarter of this year was arranged.
At the meeting, Mayor Chen Xing made an important speech on regulating the operation of the government and improving the efficiency of the work. Chen Xing requested that the members of the government team should be united and closely cooperate with each other. All departments should carry out the work effectively and in place to ensure the smooth implementation of government orders. As for the violations of laws and regulations by individual leaders in recent days, the cadres present should conduct self-examination and self-correction, and keep themselves clean.
When Chen Xing talked about the smooth implementation of government orders, Jia Zhengde, the Vice Mayor of the Standing Committee, who sat on the right side of Chen Xing, curled his lips slightly. It seemed that Chen Xing's words were a little sarcastic, but Jia Zhengde quickly hid his emotions. This was the mayor's office meeting, not the Standing Committee Meeting of the Municipal Party Committee, nor the Municipal Party Committee. On the surface, Jia Zhengde had to maintain the minimum respect for Mayor Chen Xing.
Assistant Zhou is now gradually familiar with the work in the city. As for the division of his work, we will also discuss it at today's meeting. Chen Xing glanced at the crowd and suddenly said.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Jia Zhengde, who was originally a little lazy, was startled. Then, he became serious and glanced at Chen Xing in surprise. Then, he looked at Shao Huadong, who was sitting opposite him. Seeing that Shao Huadong was sitting calmly, Jia Zhengde had a bad feeling. Did Chen Xing inform Shao Huadong in advance? If that was the case, then it was obvious that Chen Xing would not be a good thing for him.
As expected, just as Jia Zhengde had this thought, he heard Chen Xing say, "I plan to let Assistant Zhou be in charge of land and resources, urban management, transportation, people's armed forces, anti-smuggling, etc. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to raise them."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, the rest of the people looked in Jia Zhengde's direction with a strange look. Seeing Jia Zhengde's ugly expression, the others did not dare to look at him anymore. They stared at the table in front of them. Many people were muttering in their hearts, "Is Chen Xing going to teach Jia Zhengde a lesson?" There was no other reason. The areas that Chen Xing wanted Zhou Zhijin to be in charge of were almost all taken from the departments that Jia Zhengde was in charge of. Moreover, they were all the more important departments. It was obvious that Chen Xing wanted to reduce his power!
Mayor Chen, isn't this arrangement a little unreasonable? Jia Zhengde suppressed his anger and questioned himself. He knew that except for himself, no one would be willing to stand up for him. Although he had the support of Ge Jian-ming, no one dared to go against Chen Xing for him in the internal affairs of the government.
Well, what does Deputy Mayor Jia think is unreasonable? Chen Xing stared at Jia Zhengde.
"This …" Jia Zhengde dodged his eyes and did not dare to look at Chen Xing's eyes. The anger in his heart was rising. Chen Xing was clearly trying to marginalize him. However, how could he be willing to be controlled by Chen Xing? Apart from other things, he was also a member of the Standing Committee. Among the leaders of the Municipal Government, he was second only to the Executive Deputy Mayor Shao Huadong. There was no reason for him to stay silent when Chen Xing stepped on him.
"Mayor Chen, I think Assistant Zhou can take over the position that Deputy Mayor Zeng is in charge of first. Isn't this arrangement more reasonable?" Jia Zhengde rolled his eyes and said.
"As for the position that Deputy Mayor Zeng is in charge of, we will make other arrangements later. Chen Xing said calmly. His meaning was very clear. He insisted on the arrangement he had just proposed and did not allow Jia Zhengde to refute. Chen Xing simply made the decision. "This matter is settled. When the matter about Deputy Mayor Zeng is settled, we will make appropriate adjustments to the division of labor."
"Mayor Chen, you …" Jia Zhengde's face turned red.
"What?" A cold light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.
"It's nothing. Since Mayor Chen insists on this arrangement, I will respect Mayor Chen's decision." Jia Zhengde took a deep breath and said these words through gritted teeth. At the same time, he looked at Shao Huadong. Shao Huadong, who had been silent all this time, was very calm. Jia Zhengde knew that the two of them must have talked about it before. Even Shao Huadong did not oppose it. Jia Zhengde knew that he could not resist Chen Xing. Chen Xing alone was not someone he could fight, not to mention that Shao Huadong was on Chen Xing's side.
"That's good." Chen Xing nodded his head as he looked at Jia Zhengde with a condescending gaze.
After the meeting, Chen Xing was the first to leave the meeting room. After Jia Zhengde left with a gloomy face, the meeting room suddenly became noisy. Except for the municipal leaders who had left, the rest were the leaders of the departments directly under the municipal government, the industrial zone, and the development zone. Today's mayor's office meeting had such a show, but there were many people who were secretly gloating.
Of course, the heads of the departments involved frowned. Today, Chen Xing had spoken, but Jia Zhengde was obviously very dissatisfied. One was the deputy mayor of the standing committee, and the other was the mayor's assistant who had just been appointed. Who should they report to in the future? If they only reported to Zhou Zhijin, they would offend Jia Zhengde. If they also reported to Jia Zhengde, they would offend Zhou Zhijin, and more seriously, they would offend Chen Xing. This really made the heads of the departments smile bitterly. This was really a fight between immortals, like the fish in the moat.
When Chen Xing returned to his office, he saw Cheng Rongjiang waiting outside his office. He was slightly surprised. Why didn't you tell your secretary to inform me that you were here?
I heard from Xiao Chen that you were in the mayor's office meeting, so I told him not to disturb you. Cheng Rongjiang smiled, but his smile was a little hazy. When he entered Chen Xing's office, the smile on Cheng Rongjiang's face disappeared. Mayor Chen, something happened to Ceng Gaoqiang.
What happened? Chen Xing suddenly raised his head. He didn't want to hear something like this the most.
The anonymous sender who sent the photos to us appeared. He went to the Provincial Procuratorate and took the initiative to explain some problems. Now, Ceng Gaoqiang is also a victim, and the Provincial Procuratorate also intervened. This suddenly makes it difficult for us to deal with this case. Cheng Rongjiang sighed.
Who was the person who sent the photos? Chen Xing furrowed his brows.
It was a woman called Ma Jiang. She was the wife of the woman who had sex with Ceng Gaoqiang in the photos. Ma Jiang confessed that he and his wife had set up a trap to frame Ceng Gaoqiang. They had made Ceng Gaoqiang drunk and taken the photos. Their purpose was to get some benefits from Ceng Gaoqiang. They also wanted Ceng Gaoqiang to arrange a job for them. Ceng Gaoqiang didn't agree. Then, he accidentally heard that we were investigating Ceng Gaoqiang. Cheng Rongjiang told us the whole story.
Ma Jiang? Why does this name sound so familiar? Chen Xing thought. He seemed to remember this name, but he couldn't remember it.
Ma Jiang used to be a team leader in the Sanitary Bureau, but he was fired later. I don't know how his wife got to know Ceng Gaoqiang. Cheng Rongjiang explained. This was just what he knew. He didn't know more about the situation yet. The current situation had changed the favorable situation. Cheng Rongjiang's mood was a mess. He came here to tell Chen Xing about the situation in advance.
A team leader of the Sanitary Bureau's Law Enforcement Team? Chen Xing had an impression of him. He was someone who had interacted with Jiang Wan before. He was the one who had asked about Ma Jiang's firing.
However, it didn't matter who Ma Jiang was. What mattered was that Ma Jiang had gone to the Provincial Procuratorate and confessed that he and his wife had set up a trap to frame Ceng Gaoqiang. This had changed Ceng Gaoqiang's situation completely. Now, Cheng Rongjiang's task force didn't have a reason to detain Ceng Gaoqiang for investigation. This was undoubtedly the deadliest part. It also gave other people a reason to intervene.
Did you say that the Provincial Procuratorate had intervened? Chen Xing looked at Cheng Rongjiang. His words had revealed a lot of information.
That's right. The Provincial Procuratorate had intervened. Even the Municipal Procuratorate had intervened. Cheng Rongjiang raised his eyebrows. Chen Tongjin had been the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee for several years. He had also been a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. His foundation in Nanzhou was too deep. If he tried to stop us from investigating Ceng Gaoqiang, it would create a huge obstacle for us. Now, it seemed that it was beyond our imagination.
