After returning to the Municipal Government, Chen Xing sat in his office for a while and then asked his secretary to call Ceng Gaoqiang over. Since Ge Jian-ming was going to discuss the problems of Xing Hua County at the Standing Committee, Chen Xing had to make preparations first. Ceng Gaoqiang had already assured him that Chen Tongjin had convinced Shen Lingyue and Yang Pingping, but Chen Xing still needed to confirm it with Ceng Gaoqiang.
Ceng Gaoqiang didn't have any plans to go out this morning. He was in his office reading the information he had just received from the mysterious man in the morning. After reading it, Ceng Gaoqiang wasn't as surprised as he had expected. The man had been in Hai City for more than a week, but the information he had was not very satisfactory to him. The information in his hands couldn't have much impact on Chen Xing. At most, it could only scratch an itch for Chen Xing.
After carefully hiding the information in the bottom drawer of his desk and locking the drawer, Ceng Gaoqiang heaved a sigh of relief. He still had to let the mysterious man continue to investigate. Ceng Gaoqiang thought to himself. The information he had now was far from enough. Ceng Gaoqiang didn't want to take any risks.
When Ceng Gaoqiang received an internal call asking him to go to Chen Xing's office, it was already more than an hour later. Without much delay, Ceng Gaoqiang immediately set off after receiving the call. It was only a few steps to Chen Xing's office. Ceng Gaoqiang knocked on the door and walked in. There was a deliberately flattering smile on his face, and his attitude was very proper.
"Deputy Mayor is here, please take a seat." Chen Xing casually waved his hand and signaled Ceng Gaoqiang to sit down.
Ceng Gaoqiang responded and nodded to Chen Xing with a smile. Perhaps it was because he bumped into Chen Xing in the parking lot in the morning, Ceng Gaoqiang felt a little guilty for no reason. He knew that Chen Xing couldn't see anything wrong, but he couldn't completely pretend that nothing had happened.
Mayor Chen, why did you ask me to come here? Ceng Gaoqiang took the initiative to speak. The quiet atmosphere made him feel even more uncomfortable.
There was nothing important. Chen Xing glanced at Ceng Gaoqiang and sat down opposite him. "Deputy Secretary Shen and Minister Yang, are there no problems?
Oh, that's it. When Ceng Gaoqiang heard this, his face was full of smiles. Mayor Chen, don't worry. They will definitely cooperate with you. I don't dare to joke with you about this.
That's good, I hope this deputy mayor is not lying to me. Chen Xing's expression was calm, but his words were full of warning. He was undoubtedly telling Ceng Gaoqiang that if he lied to him, he would have to bear the consequences.
No way, no way. Ceng Gaoqiang laughed dryly.
Chen Xing's eyes focused on Ceng Gaoqiang's face for a moment. He thought that Ceng Gaoqiang was much more honest now, and it was impossible for him to have the guts to lie to him. Then he asked a few questions about Ceng Gaoqiang's work. Ceng Gaoqiang was in charge of the work in the fields of health and education. Now the focus of the city was on the health rectification work. It was normal for Chen Xing to care about it.
The two only sat in the office for a short while. After talking about business for a while, there was not much to talk about between Chen Xing and Ceng Gaoqiang. Obviously, Ceng Gaoqiang did not like to stay in Chen Xing's office. Chen Xing could see that Ceng Gaoqiang was not very comfortable sitting in his office, so he did not let Ceng Gaoqiang stay for a long time. Soon, he saw Ceng Gaoqiang out.
The morning passed quickly. At noon, Chen Xing had lunch with Xiao Yuanqing in the canteen. There was a large empty space around them. Although Chen Xing was very kind to the ordinary staff and ate in the canteen like everyone else, he was still high and mighty in the eyes of the people below him. Ordinary staff did not dare to come close to him to eat.
Yuanqing, you have to follow up on the evaluation and demonstration of the subway project and report to me in time. During lunch, Chen Xing told Xiao Yuanqing that when he came back from the Municipal Party Committee in the morning, he asked Xiao Yuanqing to inform the city planning bureau to organize experts to set up a research group. Although Chen Xing did not ask for time to be tight, he hoped to get the results early.
Yes. Xiao Yuanqing nodded solemnly. He looked a little excited. Mayor, is there really hope for our city's subway project?
How can there be no hope? Why, do you think our Nanzhou is not qualified? Chen Xing asked Xiao Yuanqing with a smile.
Not really. Xiao Yuanqing shook his head with a bitter smile. I remember someone mentioned building a subway seven or eight years ago, but at that time, our economic development was limited, so it was left unsettled. This time, it was you, Mayor Chen, who brought it up again. Speaking of which, our Nanzhou people's dream of a subway has been around for a long time, but we felt that it was out of reach. Now that it can be realized, I believe that the general public will also cheer.
We are developing very fast now, and the traffic bottleneck in the urban area has begun to show signs. Although it is not serious, it is necessary to make early plans. This time, we want to build a subway project, not to blindly follow the trend, but out of practical needs. Chen Xing smiled. I believe that the subway dream can be realized, but this process will not take a year or two.
I know. Xiao Yuanqing nodded with a smile. Rome was not built in a day, and the subway could not be built just like that. It was already a great thing to be able to get approval first.
Let's wait for the city to come up with a demonstration result first. Things have to be done step by step. Chen Xing said.
As the two were talking, Zhou Zhijin also came over with a plate of food. He had just returned to the Municipal Government. He knew that Chen Xing was eating in the canteen, so he also came over to eat. It was not difficult to find Chen Xing and Xiao Yuanqing. With a casual glance, he could see two people sitting in an empty seat.
Where have you been all morning? I didn't see you. Chen Xing saw Zhou Zhijin and said with a smile.
Where else could I have been? After eating with you last night, I went to the police station. I stayed there all night and all morning. Zhou Zhijin said helplessly, and his face did not look very good.
Why, what happened? Chen Xing saw that Zhou Zhijin was not in a good mood, so he asked with concern. Last night, Zhou Zhijin heard from Zhao Kai that he saw the boss of Dingjin Shipping Company in contact with Ge Jian-ming's son, so he left in a hurry. Chen Xing knew that Zhou Zhijin also wanted to see if he could find anything from this. Looking at Zhou Zhijin's expression, he was afraid that the case had encountered a problem again.
In the morning, the boss of Dingjin Shipping Company took the initiative to find the police station. Hey, he gave us a big problem. Zhou Zhijin habitually looked around, but there was actually no one around.
Did he take the initiative to come to you and provide you with clues to solve the case? Chen Xing said half-jokingly.
What you said is very close to the truth. He came to provide us with clues. Zhou Zhijin curled his lips. On the day we seized the smuggling ship, in addition to some ordinary crew members, there was also a middle-level manager of Ding Jin Shipping Company. Xie Zhiqing pushed all the blame on the other party and said bitterly that he had been deceived. He had even allowed the manager of the company to smuggle in the name of the company, causing huge property losses to the country and society. He said that he was willing to actively cooperate with us in handling the case, which sounded even better than a song.
Now you don't have any extra evidence to point to him. He said that he was deceived, which is really a problem for you. After listening to Zhou Zhijin, Chen Xing nodded.
Jia Zhengde was also there in the morning. That bastard still wants to interfere with the smuggling work. He has been watching this smuggling case. Zhou Zhijin gritted his teeth when he mentioned Jia Zhengde. Xiao Yuanqing was Chen Xing's confidant, and there was no one around, so he didn't need to worry that his words would be overheard.
Deputy Mayor Jia's power was reduced. How could he be reconciled so easily? It would be abnormal if he didn't do anything. Xiao Yuanqing interjected. He felt that it was normal for Jia Zhengde to want to get involved in this case. After all, he used to be in charge of this case. This time, Jia Zhengde definitely wanted to get some credit for solving the smuggling case.
I don't think so. Jia Zhengde is too concerned about this case. It's a little abnormal. Zhou Zhijin said disapprovingly. Except for the people on Chen Xing's side, he now felt that everyone was suspicious. He didn't know which officials in the city were acting as an umbrella for those smugglers. Zhao Kai said that he saw Ge Jian-ming's son was also in contact with Xie Zhiqing.
As for the others, it was hard to say. It would be strange if Zhou Zhijin didn't doubt it. Jia Zhengde was so active in this case that Zhou Zhijin also suspected him.
Zhijin, the more difficult the case is, the more it will test you. You have to stand it. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Chen Xing, if I can't stand the test so easily, then I won't come here. Zhou Zhijin said seriously. It was not that he was not mentally prepared to work in the local government. Compared with his previous work in ministries and state-owned enterprises, the local government was undoubtedly more complicated. Zhou Zhijin not only wanted to have greater development in his official career, but he also wanted to temper himself.
With these words of yours, I can put my heart back into my stomach. Chen Xing laughed. As the mayor, he was in charge of the main work. He couldn't worry about the specific work. If he could manage all the work at the same time, the city wouldn't have to set up several deputy mayors. At the same time, there was also a division of labor, and each of them was in charge of one thing. He, as the mayor, could directly take care of all the work.
