Coming out of the hotel, Chen Xing came to He Li's residence. This time, only He Li was there. Chu Rong had not returned from Hai City since the Tomb Sweeping Day. Chen Xing did not contact the two of them these days, so he did not know that Chu Rong had gone back. He Li was the only one in the big house. He Li, who had not seen Chen Xing for a long time, was obviously surprised. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go downstairs to greet him. However, as soon as Chen Xing came upstairs, He Li stood at the door happily and gave Chen Xing slippers to change into.
"I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him." Closing the door, He Li held Chen Xing's arm and looked at Chen Xing charmingly. Although he was acting coquettishly, it was the truth in He Li's heart. After the divorce, she only had one man, Chen Xing. At her age, she was at the age where physical needs were very strong. She stayed alone in the empty room at night. It was no wonder that she felt empty in her heart. Besides, her relationship with Chen Xing was the kind that could not be exposed to the public. They could not see each other often. This time, they had not seen each other for more than 20 days. One could imagine how surprised He Li was when he saw Chen Xing for the first time.
"I think you are living a good life alone, right?" Chen Xing joked.
"I would rather live with two people. If you don't mind moving in with me, I will be more than happy to." He Li rolled his eyes at Chen Xing. "When you are busy, you will not call me for more than 10 or 20 days. Aren't you afraid that I will fool around with other men?"
"You are single now. It is your right to fool around with whoever you want. I don't have the right to restrict you even if I want to." Chen Xing was stunned and then said calmly.
Oh, I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous. I just don't know if you're telling the truth or not. This man, most of the time, likes to say one thing and mean another. He Li snorted. Women just liked to listen to sweet words. Chen Xing's answer obviously made her dissatisfied, but she just said it. He Li also knew Chen Xing's temperament well. Joking with Chen Xing like this was asking for a snub. If Chen Xing answered something that she didn't like to hear later, he would also make himself angry. He Li smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't want to talk to this kind of person who doesn't know how to make a woman happy at all."
Only incompetent men needed to please women. Capable men, of course, didn't need to. Chen Xing pursed his lips.
Yes, yes, those with bigger fists are right. You are the mayor, everything you say is right. He Li rolled his eyes.
Why isn't Sister Rong back yet? Chen Xing randomly picked up a magazine from the sofa and flipped through it.
She also has a lot of business in Hai City. This time, when she goes back, she will take care of her business. She is not like me, an idle person who can wander around all day. He Li smiled and said, "If I take out all my money to invest with Huang Ming, I will really become a pauper and have no money to play around."
"Just complain about being poor." Chen Xing shook his head. He didn't believe that He Li was really poor.
"What's the use of complaining about being poor to you? You don't even know how to give me some money to spend." He Li sat close to Chen Xing, and his small hand gently moved on Chen Xing's body. He looked at Chen Xing with unconcealable passion in his eyes. His eyes drifted in the direction of the bathroom. "Chen Xing, do you want to come together?"
"Together?" Chen Xing looked at He Li. Every time he came to He Li's place, the fire in his heart would always be provoked.
"Why, do you come here to talk about life and ideals with me?" He Li covered his mouth and laughed.
Chen Xing listened to He Li's words and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that he had never talked about these things with He Li.
"By the way, when I went back this time, I met Zhao Qing. She became famous again, and her face was full of pride. I don't know how her husband feels now." At the mention of Zhao Qing, He Li's face didn't look much better. Although she spent most of her time in Nanzhou, she always paid attention to things in her hometown. She was especially interested in things related to Zhao Qing. A while ago, when they talked about Zhao Qing, she knew that Zhao Qing's father-in-law was being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. His family suffered an accident and was no longer as famous as before. Even Zhao Qing's mother was faintly affected.
At that time, rumors were everywhere in Hai City's officialdom. He Li also heard a lot from Huang Ming. She even took pleasure in Zhao Qing's misfortune. She thought that a proud person like Zhao Qing would no longer have the capital to show off. Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected. During the Qingming Festival, she also went back to Hai City and heard that Zhao Qing's mother, Zhao Yiping, had become the Secretary of Hai City's Municipal Party Committee. This result really surprised He Li. Zhao Qing's mother wasn't affected by her in-laws. Instead, she was promoted.
"Why do you care about others? Just live your own life." Chen Xing said impatiently. In his impression, He Li often heard Zhao Qing's name.
"I don't care about her. She's the daughter of an official. It's not my place to care. I just said it casually." He Li snorted.
Chen Xing looked at He Li's expression and shook his head with a wry smile. He thought that He Li always seemed to have a grudge against Zhao Qing. He Li didn't know where He Li's resentment came from. She and Zhao Qing didn't have any grudge against each other, but every time she mentioned Zhao Qing, He Li's emotions obviously fluctuated. His resentment was even greater than that of a person who had been hurt by love. Was this the so-called 'a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean'? Chen Xing really couldn't figure out He Li's thoughts.
If he couldn't figure it out, then he couldn't figure it out. He didn't want to think about such trivial things. He and Zhao Qing were destined not to have many interactions, let alone have feelings for each other. If he had the time to think about it, he might as well think about something else.
When Chen Xing was at He Li's residence, there was a two-story villa in the depths of the compound for the families of cadres of the Municipal Party Committee. It was clearly separated from the other buildings for the families of cadres. It stood alone beside Nantang Lake, which was adjacent to the compound for the families of cadres. It was the best place in the whole compound for the families of the cadres.
The villa was the residence of Ge Jian-ming, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. As a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Ge Jian-ming undoubtedly had a transcendent status in Nanzhou.
At this moment, in the villa, Ge Jian-ming and his son Ge Wenzhong were sitting opposite each other in the living room. Ge Wenzhong had just finished dinner. He came over in the evening because he had something to do. After chatting with his father for a while, Ge Wenzhong tentatively asked, "Dad, can you get involved in the smuggling case of Dingjin Shipping Company? The boss is a good friend of mine. "
"The smuggling case that was investigated a few days ago?" Ge Jian-ming's expression froze. After a slight pause, he looked at his son discontentedly. "Everyone is eager to stay away from this kind of case, but you want to get involved in it. Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"
"Dad, the boss came to me and asked me to help him. I couldn't refuse him because of my feelings." Ge Wenzhong smiled helplessly. "Otherwise, I wouldn't want to get involved in this kind of muddy water."
"Face is the most worthless thing. You'd better not get involved in this matter. Chen Xing has formed a joint investigation team in the name of the Municipal Government, and Zhou Zhijin is in charge. Both of them are the kind of donkeys who have a bad temper and don't see eye to eye with me. If you get involved in this muddy water, won't you give them something to use against you?" Ge Jian-ming looked at his son with a warning look. He didn't want his son to get involved in this matter.
"Dad, is there really no room for negotiation?" Ge Wenzhong didn't give up.
"It's not that there is no room for negotiation, but it's not necessary to get involved in this matter." Ge Jian-ming waved his hand. Ge Jian-ming didn't need to think about asking him to get involved in this matter for an ignorant friend of his son. He and Chen Xing didn't get along well, so it was not worth it to get involved in this matter.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ge Wenzhong's face. The boss of Dingjin Shipping Company was Xie Zhiqing, who had known Ge Wenzhong for a long time. The Bentley, which was worth nearly ten million, in the seized smuggling boat was a gift from Xie Zhiqing. Ge Wenzhong didn't care much about such a car, and he said he didn't want it, but Xie Zhiqing insisted. After all, it was a gift from Xie Zhiqing, and Ge Wenzhong had to accept it. Although he didn't even get to see the car in the end, Ge Wenzhong couldn't refuse Xie Zhiqing's request.
"Why? Are you hiding something from me?" Ge Jianming knew his son very well. At this moment, when he saw his son's expression change, he immediately asked.
"No." Ge Wenzhong shook his head with a smile. "Dad, I don't have anything to hide from you."
"That's good." Ge Jian-ming stared at his son for a while and then looked away. His son's way of doing things reassured him, so Ge Jian-ming didn't think much about it.
Ge Wenzhong nodded, thinking that he could only tell Xie Zhiqing that he couldn't help even if he wanted to. However, thinking about how Xie Zhiqing's company had been open for so long, Ge Wenzhong didn't believe that Xie Zhiqing didn't have any other connections in Nanzhou. It wasn't that Ge Wenzhong didn't understand Xie Zhiqing's intention when Xie Zhiqing wanted to give him the company's shares. It was nothing more than to protect Xie Zhiqing's company, but Ge Wenzhong didn't accept it at that time. Firstly, he didn't care about the shares Xie Zhiqing gave him. Secondly, knowing that Xie Zhiqing was in this line of work, Ge Wenzhong didn't want to get too involved. If something happened, Ge Wenzhong knew that it would be very troublesome.
"That's right, dad, what's the background of that Zhou Zhijin?" Ge Wenzhong asked. Xie Zhiqing's matter would be a headache for him. Presumably, Xie Zhiqing didn't just look for him. If he couldn't help, Xie Zhiqing must have other connections. Ge Wenzhong didn't want to talk about this matter in front of his father, so he asked about Zhou Zhijin instead.
The Zhou family could be considered to have some background. The corner of Ge Jian-ming's mouth twitched. When he thought about how Chen Xing brought Zhou Zhijin to Nanzhou, and how the two were similar in age and dared to rush into things, Ge Jian-ming felt a headache coming on. Although he had a strong control over the city's situation, when he met these two people, Ge Jian-ming felt uneasy.
Zhou family? Which Zhou family? Ge Wenzhong obviously hadn't heard of this family.
It's a family behind the Zhang family, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it. Ge Jian-ming said. The Zhou family could only be considered a second-tier family in the capital. They weren't famous, and the Zhou family's patriarch had passed away a long time ago. If it weren't for the care of Old Man Zhang, the Zhou family might have long been buried in history. The Zhou family was in a good situation now. Zhou Zhijin's uncle was an official in the central ministry, and Zhou Zhijin's father was a major general in the military. Therefore, the Zhou family wasn't completely powerless. However, without Old Man Zhang's care, it was hard to say how the Zhou family would develop in the future. As for the behemoth that was the Zhang family, they were currently in a precarious situation. They couldn't even take care of themselves, so they undoubtedly wouldn't have the ability to take care of the Zhou family.
Compared to before, Ge Jian-ming didn't need to be too afraid of the Zhou family now, but he didn't need to take the initiative to provoke them either. The Zhou family had also placed Zhou Zhijin in Nanzhou. As long as Zhou Zhijin didn't cause too much trouble, Ge Jian-ming was willing to turn a blind eye to it. Take Chen Xing for example. As long as Chen Xing did things within his bottom line, Ge Jian-ming actually didn't want to suppress Chen Xing. The key was that Chen Xing was also unwilling to submit to others. If he didn't suppress him, Chen Xing would endanger his existence in Nanzhou. Ge Jian-ming wouldn't allow others to challenge his authority as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
Ge Wenzhong listened to his father's words and thought that it was useless to know so much about Zhou Zhijin since he didn't know how to deal with Zhou Zhijin, so he didn't ask further. Tonight, he came especially for the Dingjin Shipping Company. His father's attitude was very clear, so Ge Wenzhong didn't want to mention it again, lest he upset his father. Looking at the time, Ge Wenzhong stood up and said, "Dad, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything.
Okay, go ahead. " Ge Jian-ming nodded.
After Ge Wenzhong left, Ge Jian-ming sat alone on the sofa for a while. Although he seemed relaxed, he was not as relaxed as he looked. Ye Kaiyun had been taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for many days, and there was no news about him. The internal confidentiality system of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was very strict. Even though Ge Jian-ming was a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, it was not easy for him to get any information. The main reason was that Ge Jian-ming didn't want to put down his pride and ask Tan Zheng directly. He knew Tan Zheng's temperament very well, and Tan Zheng was not a person who was easy to talk to. Besides, Tan Zheng's ranking in the Standing Committee was higher than his. Now Ge Jian-ming's idea was to wait and see for the time being. Although Ye Kaiyun was from the Municipal Party Committee, if the case was too big and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection got hold of a lot of hard evidence, Ge Jian-ming didn't want to protect him.
Ge Jianming was just a county Party Secretary. It could be said that it was important, but it could also be said that it was not important. But Ge Jianming did not want to get hurt because of this. The rule of the government was to prioritize benefits. Family and friendship had long been diluted in this system. Ge Jianming was actually a very cold person.
What Ge Jian-ming was considering now was who to replace the position of Xing Hua County Party Secretary. Ye Kaiyun was taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. No matter how big the problem was, it was impossible for him to be the Party Secretary of Xing Hua County Party Committee. Currently, the City had not made a statement on this, but Ye Kaiyun would definitely be removed from the positions of the Standing Committee and Secretary of Xing Hua County Party Committee. Who would replace Ye Kaiyun was also a problem that Ge Jian-ming had to consider.
Right now, Ge Jian-ming was in a dilemma about this matter. Whether Ye Kaiyun should be protected or not was a problem. Who would replace Ye Kaiyun's position was also a problem. Ge Jian-ming predicted that Chen Xing would also interfere in this matter. But who wouldn't want to fight for such an important position? Every carrot has its own pit, not to mention the position of the Party Secretary. Everyone wanted to promote their own people. If nothing happened to Ye Kaiyun, Ge Jian-ming would not have these troubles now. Thinking of this, Ge Jian-ming was also quite angry. His own people were not living up to his expectations, and kept causing trouble for him.
… …
The sun rose and set. At the beginning of a new day, Chen Xing climbed out of bed lazily. It was another absurd night. Chen Xing rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the time. It was only six o 'clock in the morning.
The movement of Chen Xing waking up also woke He Li up. Stretching out a snow-white arm, He Li hugged Chen Xing's waist. She still couldn't open her eyes and asked in a daze, "Chen Xing, what time is it?"
"It's six o 'clock. I have to leave now. You go back to sleep." Chen Xing sat at the head of the bed, trying to wake herself up.
"It's only six o 'clock. You have to leave so early?" He Li finally opened her eyes a little, glanced at Chen Xing, and held her hands tightly. "Sleep a little longer before you leave. I think those ordinary staff will arrive on time. You are the mayor, why are you going so early? Sleep with me a little longer."
He Li's voice was very coquettish, which could soften people's bones. Chen Xing looked back at He Li, shook her head and smiled. She pushed He Li's hands away and stood up to put on her clothes. Chen Xing was afraid that if she sat on the bed for a little longer, she would be pulled into bed by He Li again. She didn't know how long it would take.
"Chen Xing, why are you running away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" He Li gradually woke up. Lying on the bed, he supported his chin with one hand and looked at Chen Xing with a smile.
"If I don't leave now, I will really be eaten by you." Chen Xing smiled as he put on his clothes.
"If I can eat you, I won't eat you at once. I want to enjoy it slowly." He Li chuckled and said, "If you want to leave, go ahead. I won't see you off. I have to go back to sleep."
"Go to sleep." Chen Xing nodded.
Chen Xing didn't waste much time at He Hi's place. He didn't call the chauffeur either. After he went downstairs, he hailed a cab and left. He stopped by the roadside for breakfast. It wasn't even eight o 'clock when Chen Xing arrived at the city hall. Basically, there weren't many people there yet. Just as He Hi had said, as a leader, he arrived earlier than his subordinates.
He reviewed documents in the office until eight o 'clock. Secretary Huang Jianghua came in to help Chen Xing clean the office. Then the office director Xiao Yuanqing also came. They were not surprised that Chen Xing came to the office so early. This was not the first time that Chen Xing came to the office early.
"Mayor, the county head of Xing Hua County, Xu Qingnian, will come later. He made an appointment yesterday." Xiao Yuanqing said to Chen Xing. He forgot to tell Chen Xing yesterday. Xu Qingnian called him just now, and Xiao Yuanqing remembered that Xu Qingnian was already on his way. Xiao Yuanqing hurried to tell Chen Xing.
He gave him half an hour to come quickly. Chen Xing raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o 'clock. At 9: 30, he planned to go to the Municipal Party Committee and discuss with Ge Jian-Ming about the construction of the subway in the city. No matter how much they fought in the dark, when it came to the development and construction of the city, they would maintain a tacit understanding. They should sit down and talk calmly. Chen Xing would not let his emotions affect his decisions.
"Mayor Xu is on his way. He should be here soon." Xiao Yuanqing said.
Chen Xing nodded slightly. Xu Qingnian ran over at this time. Chen Xing didn't need to think to know why Xu Qingnian was here.
The document in his hand made Chen Xing frown slightly. It was sent by the Education Bureau. It was a document to apply for a salary increase for all the teachers in the city. Chen Xing couldn't help but ask Xiao Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, what is the average salary of the teachers in our city now?
I don't remember the specific number, but I remember the statistics at the end of last year was about 4,000 per person. Xiao Yuanqing thought for a moment and said.
"Oh." Chen Xing nodded. This number was not too low. He had also asked someone to look at the ratio of the city's revenue and expenditure in the past few years. The ratio of education expenditure to the city's GNP was not too low. It had increased from about 4% a few years ago to nearly 5% last year. The investment in education in Nanzhou City was far higher than the national average. It should be known that at the end of last year, the country's investment in education had barely reached 4% of the GNP.
Although Nanzhou City's increase was less than 1%, it at least meant that the city's investment in education had increased by at least a few hundred million. The city's GNP had maintained rapid growth every year. In the past few years, the proportion of investment in education had not been less than 4%. This meant that the investment in education was also increasing every year. Nanzhou City's attention to education could be said to be ahead of most other places.
Last June, the teachers' salaries were also raised. This time, the city's education bureau reported for approval to raise the teachers' salaries. It was less than a year ago. Nowadays, the treatment of teachers was getting better and better. It was no wonder that the number of people taking the teaching exam increased exponentially every year. In the past, teachers were still assigned from normal schools. At that time, many people were unwilling to do it. Xiao Yuanqing laughed. He had witnessed this change with his own eyes because his sister was a teacher at a school. At that time, his sister was unwilling to go and wanted to find a job on her own. At that time, he had persuaded her. Xiao Yuanqing felt that a girl with a stable job was better than anything else. There was no benefit in making a living in society, so he had forced his sister to obey the assignment to teach at a school. Now that this matter was brought up, his sister still laughed and said that it was all thanks to him. Otherwise, she would have regretted it to death. But then again, the teaching profession had gradually become popular in the past few years.
How much did it increase last year? Chen Xing asked Xiao Yuanqing. Last June, he had not yet arrived in Nanzhou.
Last year, it was 500. Xiao Yuanqing had a rough impression.
Now, the average teacher's salary was 4,000, which was not low. Chen Xing shook his head and laughed. This was because Nanzhou was the provincial capital. The city's investment in education had always been high. Otherwise, there would not be such treatment. Let's not talk about the inland cities in the central and western regions. Just talking about other cities in the province, the average teacher's salary in some places was only a little more than 2,000.
Yes, in some less developed areas in the province, the actual salary of teachers might not even be 2,000. Xiao Yuanqing nodded. He was not clear about other places, but Changshan City was the poorest prefecture-level city in Nanhai Province. Its economic ranking was at the bottom of the prefecture-level cities in the province. The average teacher's salary there was only a little more than 1,000, far lower than Nanzhou City.
This time, the city's education bureau still applied for a salary increase of 500 for each teacher. At the same time, it increased the contribution rate to the provident fund. Chen Xing waved the document in his hand and laughed. I hope that the teachers' treatment is better, but I can't sign this document.
Ah? Xiao Yuanqing was stunned by Chen Xing's words. He remembered that Chen Xing had expressed the importance he attached to education on several different occasions. In this year's city budget, Chen Xing also emphasized that the city's investment in education could only be higher than last year's. At the same time, it should strive to reach the level of education expenditure accounting for 5% of the city's GNP. This was enough to show the importance Chen Xing attached to education. But now, Chen Xing said that he would not sign this document. Xiao Yuanqing could not react for a moment.
The information on the document was not detailed enough, and there was nothing I wanted to know. Chen Xing shook his head. Yuanqing, ask the people from the Ministry of Education to come and take the document back. There is a certain gap in the income of urban teachers and rural teachers. I hope the Ministry of Education can balance this area first, and then send the information up.
Listening to Chen Xing's words, Xiao Yuanqing immediately understood. Chen Xing did not want the income gap between urban and rural teachers to be too big. The so-called average salary of more than 4,000 was, after all, the average. The salaries of the teachers in the key middle schools in the city were not low, basically reaching 5,000 or 6,000, while the teachers in rural schools were mostly about 3,000. In the end, the salaries of many teachers were also average.
Understanding Chen Xing's meaning, Xiao Yuanqing did not say much. He took the document and asked the person in charge of the Ministry of Education to come over later. He was just conveying Chen Xing's meaning. As for how to do it, it was the Ministry of Education's business. In fact, this document could not be effective immediately only if Chen Xing signed it. It had to be sent to the Municipal Party Committee, signed by Ge Jian-ming, and then submitted to the province for approval. If it was not for Ge Jian-ming's refusal to sign, Chen Xing's consent would be useless. As for the province, as long as the city approved it, the province would just go through the formalities.
Xiao Yuanqing took the document and left first. Chen Xing continued to busy himself with the matter at hand. When Xu Qingnian came over, it was almost time for him to go to the Municipal Party Committee.
While Chen Xing was busy, Zhou Zhijin was not idle. After leaving the hotel last night, Zhou Zhijin stayed at the police station for the whole night. When he got up in the morning, Zhou Zhijin directly asked someone to go out and buy breakfast for him. Then he called for a meeting with the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of Customs, the Armed Police Border Detachment, the Municipal Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and other relevant departments. Zhou Zhijin did not tire of emphasizing the importance of the case. As for the coordination of the relevant law enforcement departments, Zhou Zhijin planned to rearrange and disrupt the original team. This was the focus of his meeting.
Not long after Zhou Zhijin's meeting, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Mayor Jia Zhengde arrived uninvited. Jia Zhengde, who was no longer responsible for the anti-smuggling work, was very concerned about this smuggling case.
Deputy Mayor Jia? When Zhou Zhijin saw Jia Zhengde walk into the meeting room, he squinted his eyes and looked a little unhappy. Jia Zhengde had already intervened in this case. It would be strange if Zhou Zhijin had a good expression.
I heard that Assistant Zhou called for a meeting early in the morning, so I also came to sit in. Assistant Zhou should not be unwelcome, right? Jia Zhengde sat down with a calm expression. As soon as he came in, someone immediately stood up and gave up their seat. Jia Zhengde did not wait for Zhou Zhijin to speak and sat down slowly.
If I said that I was not welcome, would Deputy Mayor Jia still leave? Zhou Zhijin snorted in a low voice. When he opened his mouth, he was very aggressive. He did not have any scruples because Jia Zhengde was a Standing Committee member of the Municipal Party Committee.
The atmosphere in the originally good meeting room became strange at this time. Everyone else lowered their heads and looked at the table. No one looked in the direction of Zhou Zhijin and Jia Zhengde, for fear of being used as a punching bag.
Jia Zhengde seemed to have expected that Zhou Zhijin would have such a reaction, so he was not angry at all. He still had a smile on his face and said. I know that Assistant Zhou likes to say the opposite, so I will listen to it.
Jia Zhengde said and interrupted Zhou Zhijin's words. Zhou Zhijin, where is the meeting? Continue. I will only sit in. Assistant Zhou, you can preside over your meeting.
Zhou Zhijin's face was gloomy. Jia Zhengde was sitting there. He did not believe that Jia Zhengde would really just sit in and listen. The meeting just started was interrupted.
Zhou Zhijin's face was ugly, but Jia Zhengde was secretly proud. Looking at Zhou Zhijin's expression, Jia Zhengde secretly called him a fool. Zhou Zhijin wanted to fight with him?
Zhou Zhijin's eyes moved away from Jia Zhengde's face. He simply did not look at Jia Zhengde anymore. He calmed his mood and planned to continue the meeting. At this time, a police officer ran in from outside the door and said that Xie Zhiqing, the chairman of Dingjin Shipping Company, had come over and had important information to provide.
Hearing this report, Zhou Zhijin was stunned. Xie Zhiqing took the initiative to come over?
What Zhou Zhijin did not notice was that there was a faint look of ridicule on Jia Zhengde's face, which quickly disappeared.
…
In a small alley in the urban area, Ceng Gaoqiang's car was quietly parked by the wall. Ceng Gaoqiang did not immediately go to work at the Municipal Government in the morning. He drove here by himself. After waiting for about ten minutes, a man wearing sunglasses got into Ceng Gaoqiang's car with the window closed.
Why is it so slow? Ceng Gaoqiang glanced at the man next to him and said unhappily.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I didn't know you were so anxious, so I slept a little late. The man said apologetically, then took out a stack of documents and handed them to Ceng Gaoqiang.
Is that all? Ceng Gaoqiang took it and couldn't wait to read it. At the same time, he asked.
Well, that's all. It's good to be able to investigate this in more than a week. The man said helplessly.
Are you sure that there is no mistake in your investigation? Ceng Gaoqiang asked worriedly.
Don't worry. I didn't stay in Hai City for nothing during this more than a week. If I don't do something serious, I'll be letting you down. The man smiled.
Okay, I believe you. Ceng Gaoqiang said, took out an envelope from his briefcase and handed it to the man. Take these first. It's your reward this time.
Mayor Ceng, what are you doing? I haven't been able to repay you for your help before. I don't know how happy I am to be able to do something for you this time. If you do this, I won't be happy. The man did not take the envelope and shook his head.
Take it. I don't mean anything else. This time, I asked you to go to Hai City. It's a hard job. This is a little gift from me. Just take it. Ceng Gaoqiang put the envelope on the man's lap.
Mayor Ceng, I really can't take your money. The man smiled bitterly.
Just take it. Don't be so long-winded. Maybe I'll ask you to go to Hai City. At that time, I'll waste your time again. If you don't go to make money, are you going to starve? You also have a family to take care of. Don't dawdle with me anymore. Ceng Gaoqiang curled his lips.
Mayor Ceng, if you say that, then I have to accept it. Mayor Ceng, if you need me to do anything else, just tell me. The man patted his chest and said.
Hmm, you should go back first. Don't tell anyone about this, not even your wife. Don't tell her why you're going to Sea City, understand? Ceng Gaoqiang stared at the man and sternly ordered.
Mayor Ceng, don't worry. I also told my wife that I'm going to Hai City to do some business. She doesn't know what I'm going to do. The man said seriously.
That's good. Contact me later. Maybe I'll look for you again. Ceng Gaoqiang said.
The man nodded and then got out of the car. From coming to leaving, he stayed in the car for less than three or four minutes. Ceng Gaoqiang's car also slowly turned around and left. The man watched Ceng Gaoqiang's car leave, then opened the envelope in his hand. He roughly glanced at it. Without counting, the man estimated that it was 20,000 yuan. With a happy smile on his face, he stuffed the envelope into his inner pocket and left, humming a tune.
