The grand funeral came to an end. Compared to the outside world, everything returned to peace, and in the Zhang family.
The heavy atmosphere of grief still existed. On the third day after the funeral, Zhang Guohua returned to Jianghai. As the secretary of a province, Zhang Guohua could not be like ordinary people, ignoring his work because of family matters. Even if his heart was sad, he had to pull himself together and go back to work. He did not know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, the successor of the Zhang family. Zhang Guohua did not even have the qualification to show a trace of weakness. He had to always show a strong side. Only at home, in front of his own people, would Zhang Guohua occasionally show an expression of uncontrollable sadness.
The funeral had already taken up many days of Zhang Guohua's time. He had no choice but to rush back to the river after he finished dealing with the matter.
The night before Zhang Guohua returned to Jianghai, Chen Xing and Zhang Guohua also had a long talk. The father-in-law and son-in-law talked by candlelight. Chen Xing's current situation in Nanzhou City was not very smooth. In front of his father-in-law, Chen Xing did not hide anything and told the truth. From his father-in-law, Zhang Guohua, Chen Xing learned a lot. His father-in-law had placed great hopes on him. Chen Xing's heart trembled. He could not let his father-in-law down, especially in this situation. He also belonged to the Zhang family. He must live up to expectations. The more difficult the situation was, the more people were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
Chen Xing did not return to Nanzhou so quickly. He continued to stay in the capital for a few days. In addition to accompanying and comforting his wife, Chen Xing also visited the director of the Industrial Planning Department of the Development and Reform Commission, Wang Weilin, and inquired about the current approval of the city's subway project. It was just a simple inquiry. Chen Xing did not ask too much. After all, he had not formally exchanged opinions with Ge Jian-ming, and it was still too early to know whether the subway project in Nanzhou City would be approved. Chen Xing did not need to ask too much.
After accompanying his wife for three or four days, Chen Xing also planned to set off for Nanzhou. His wife's mood was still stable. Moreover, his mother-in-law, Zeng Yun, was working in the capital. With his mother-in-law helping to take care of his wife, Chen Xing was very relieved. As someone who had experienced it, his mother-in-law undoubtedly knew better than him how to take care of a pregnant woman. Chen Xing actually could not help too much. He stayed more to comfort his wife spiritually. The old man was over ninety years old, and when he passed away, he did not have any regrets. The younger generation should not be immersed in grief, which was certainly what the old man did not want to see. Chen Xing often comforted his wife in this way.
In the middle of April, Chen Xing returned to Nanzhou. This time, he left for seven or eight days. Originally, he only planned to stay in the capital for two or three days, but because of the old man's unexpected death, he stayed for a few more days. When he returned to Nanzhou, Chen Xing felt that he had left for a long time. Perhaps it was because he had just experienced a funeral, but Chen Xing even felt that when he stepped on the land of Nanzhou again, it was as if a new journey had just begun.
The mayor. The people who came to pick him up were still Chen Xing's confidants. In addition to secretary Huang Jianghua, there was also the office director, Xiao Yuanqing. When the two saw Chen Xing get off the plane, they also hurried to greet him.
Nodding slightly to the two, Chen Xing signaled them to go back to the car first. When they sat in the car, Chen Xing listened to Huang Jianghua's report on the work in the city these days. Huang Jianghua only reported the important ones.
Chen Xing listened and nodded from time to time.
In fact, when Chen Xing was not in Nanzhou, Huang Jianghua and Xiao Yuanqing would also call him from time to time to update him on some things in the city. Although Chen Xing had been away for a long time, he still knew the situation in the city like the back of his hand. Listening to Huang Jianghua's report, some of it was the same as before.
"What about Assistant Zhou? Is there any progress in his case?" Chen Xing suddenly asked.
He rarely saw Assistant Zhou return to the city these days, so he really didn't know how the smuggling case was going. Huang Jianghua lowered his head and looked a little guilty. Chen Xing asked him about the situation. As a secretary, he couldn't answer. This was his dereliction of duty. Although he was too demanding of himself, if he hadn't been strict with himself, he wouldn't have been able to satisfy Chen Xing, stabilize the position of secretary, and win the trust and attention of Chen Xing.
Maybe he was in a hurry to go out as soon as he came back. Chen Xing gave Huang Jianghua a comforting smile and didn't say much. On the third day after he returned to the capital, Zhou Zhijin also rushed back to the capital. The death of the old master was a big event. Although Zhou Zhijin was not a member of the Zhang family, the Zhou family had such a deep relationship with the Zhang family and had been taken care of by the Zhang family. Zhou Zhijin had no reason not to go back. The elders of the Zhou family also took him to attend the old master's funeral and send him on his last journey.
Zhou Zhijin returned to Nanzhou the day after the funeral. Chen Xing asked him to come back first. Without someone he trusted and could control the situation in the city, Chen Xing was really worried. If Zhou Zhijin hadn't come back first, Chen Xing wouldn't have continued to stay in the capital for a few more days.
"Mayor, this is the notice just sent by the office of the Provincial Party Committee this morning. Please have a look." Xiao Yuanqing handed a document in his hand to Chen Xing and said, "If you hadn't said you would come back today, I would have called to report to you.
"Oh?" Chen Xing took it and glanced at it. His expression became solemn. The head of the Provincial Party Committee, Fu Youjun, and the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Tan Zheng, would come down for an inspection in five days.
Generally speaking, when a heavyweight in the province wanted to come down, they would first notify the next level party committee and government several days in advance. This was normal officialdom procedure. If Fu Youjun wanted to come down, it was not strange for the office of the Provincial Party Committee to issue a notice five days in advance. However, this time, Tan Zheng was also accompanying the inspection. Obviously, they were also inclined to inspect the work related to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Chen Xing was quite surprised. Presumably, Ge Jian-ming would pay more attention to this matter, right?
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing did not think too much about it. The head of the Provincial Party Committee and the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection would be coming down. This was undoubtedly a big deal for the city. Although Nanzhou was the capital city, it was under the eyes of the provincial leaders. There would often be provincial leaders coming down for inspection and guidance. Although this was not rare, no matter when it was, when the head of the Provincial Party Committee came down for an inspection, everyone had to pay 120% attention.
On the way to the Municipal Government, when they passed by a hotel, Chen Xing, who was looking out of the window, accidentally saw two familiar figures. One was the secretary general of the Municipal Government, Jiang Bingxuan, and the other was the vice president of the Gray Bank, Liu Weining. The two were talking and laughing as they were about to enter the hotel. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other. Chen Xing could not help but be curious. Liu Weining and Jiang Bingxuan were so familiar with each other?
Noticing that Chen Xing was looking out of the window, Xiao Yuanqing also looked over. When he saw Liu Weining and Jiang Bingxuan, Xiao Yuanqing smiled and said, "Mayor, that President Liu is quite strange. He often likes to come to our Municipal Government. I don't know why he is so troublesome."
"Is that so?" Chen Xing was surprised. Liu Weining came to see him once last time. It was about the loan company of Gray Bank. Chen Xing was very supportive of this and instructed the relevant departments to handle the relevant procedures as soon as possible. Why did Liu Weining still go to the Municipal Government so diligently? It was true that enterprises needed to have a good relationship with the government. However, for a financial company with a wholly foreign background like the Gray Group, which was itself a multinational enterprise, it should be the local government that should deliberately befriend it. If Liu Weining went to the Municipal Government every few days, it would be a bit strange.
In the days when you were not here, I at least saw President Liu come to the Municipal Government three times. He now has a good relationship with Secretary General Jiang. Yesterday, I even saw Secretary General Jiang personally send him downstairs. Xiao Yuanqing smiled.
It's really rare for a pure Chinese man like him, who has only received a Western education, to be able to get along well with our officials. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He did not delve into this matter. In fact, he was happy to see this. Both parties got along well, and it would be easy for them to further cooperate in the future. For a multinational giant like the Gray Group, Chen Xing could not wait to cut more meat from them.
The car drove forward, and the figures of Jiang Bingxuan and Liu Weining soon disappeared. Chen Xing looked at the time. It was almost 12 o 'clock. Presumably, the two had gone to the hotel for lunch. Chen Xing had his own business back at the Municipal Government. At this moment, Chen Xing was not in the mood to think about anything else.
Cheng Rongjiang had already made an appointment with Chen Xing at noon. Knowing that Chen Xing would arrive at noon, Cheng Rongjiang said that he would come over as soon as possible. When Chen Xing arrived at the office, Cheng Rongjiang had already come over to wait for him. Both of them had not had lunch yet, so Chen Xing simply asked Huang Jianghua to go to the cafeteria to buy two fast food dishes. The two of them ate in the office and talked about business while eating.
Mayor, Deng Jinchun's case can be closed. Cheng Rongjiang did not stand on ceremony in front of Chen Xing. At this time, the office door was closed, and the two of them did not pay attention to their unsightly appearance.
After dragging on for so long, since the case could be closed, then let it be closed. Chen Xing sighed. Up until now, he had lost his enthusiasm for this case. At first, he wanted to deal with it because of Ceng Gaoqiang. Now that he and Ceng Gaoqiang had reached a private agreement, the case itself had lost half of its meaning.
