Li Huayang got on the car, and Ceng Gaoqiang moved to the side to make room for Li Huayang. The car slowly drove on the road. Li Huayang's face didn't look good from the moment he got on the car. Especially when he heard Ceng Gaoqiang's words, Li Huayang's face sank. He said snappily, "Fortunately, you called me in time. Otherwise, I would have to sit inside and pretend to smile."
Director Li, no matter how useless you are, you are still the head of a department directly under the Provincial government. Do you still have to smile in front of Chen Xing? Ceng Gaoqiang said with a smile. Even if you don't give face to Chen Xing, he can't do anything to you.
That's what I said, but it's not worth my while to cross him over such a trifle. Li Huayang curled his lips. Facing such a young mayor like Chen Xing, it was impossible for Li Huayang not to be afraid. Although Chen Xing couldn't control him, unless it was necessary, Li Huayang didn't want to have any enmity with Chen Xing. ,
That's true. Ceng Gaoqiang nodded and said, "Did you find anything when you ate with Chen Xing and Huang Ming today?
Since Chen Xing had specially appeared for Huang Ming and Jindu Hotel, it was obvious that their relationship was extraordinary. Needless to say. Li Huayang said disapprovingly. Actually, if you didn't urge me to go to the appointment today, I would have found an excuse to say that I was not free. If I went, it would be really embarrassing. I couldn't provoke Chen Xing, so I could only suppress my anger.
Director Li, it's not that you can't afford to offend him, you just don't want to. Ceng Gaoqiang smiled.
It wasn't that he didn't want to provoke them, but that he couldn't afford to. Li Huayang shook his head. He was relying on the Zhang family. How could a small cadre like him provoke him?
Chief Li, you're already in the main hall. If you're still a small cadre, then I'll have to hit my head against the wall. Ceng Gaoqiang smiled, but there was a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth. The Zhang family is indeed a big tree, but I think this tree is also swaying in the wind and rain. Who knows when it will fall?
It doesn't matter if he falls or not. At the very least, a nobody like me can't afford to offend him. Li Huayang waved his hand and looked at Ceng Gaoqiang thoughtfully. "Gaoqiang, I think you have some other thoughts about that Chen Xing." You urged me to go there today just to find out if Chen Xing has any other relationship with Jin Du Hotel?
I'd like to know, but the problem is that I can't. Ceng Gaoqiang pretended to smile carelessly, but his eyes narrowed slightly. He had sent someone to Hai City to secretly investigate Chen Xing. Now he knew that the relationship between Chen Xing and Huang Ming was much closer than others thought. Huang Ming originally only ran a small business, but in recent years, he had made a fortune very quickly. Even if Huang Ming had a talent for doing business, Huang Ming was able to make a fortune with the help of Chen Xing. It was possible to say that it was a coincidence, but in Ceng Gaoqiang's view, it was worth doubting whether there was any connection between them. If Huang Ming's business had some shares of Chen Xing, then it was normal for Chen Xing to take care of Huang Ming's business. As for the fact that they were good classmates, Ceng Gaoqiang basically ignored it automatically. After so many years in the officialdom, Ceng Gaoqiang only believed in the relationship of interests. No matter how good a friendship was, it was not reliable.
"Really?" Li Huayang looked at Ceng Gaoqiang suspiciously, knowing that Ceng Gaoqiang was definitely not telling the truth. Li Huayang didn't want to ask more. He used to be a cadre promoted by Chen Tongjin, so he had a lot of contacts with Ceng Gaoqiang. Today, Ceng Gaoqiang urged him to go to the appointment with Chen Xing, so Li Huayang took advantage of the situation and agreed. He didn't really intend to make trouble with Chen Xing for an irrelevant trifle. However, Ceng Gaoqiang's behavior was quite strange. Li Huayang had some other doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to delve into it. Although he was a cadre promoted from Nanzhou, his department in the province was not particularly close to Nanzhou City. Li Huayang also didn't want to get involved in any disputes. Some things, it was better not to know.
"Gaoqiang, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I didn't eat much at noon. I still have to find a place to fill my stomach." Said Li Huayang.
"Director Li, then I'll accompany you. I should treat you to a meal." Ceng Gaoqiang heard it and immediately smiled.
"Okay, we haven't eaten together for a long time." Li Huayang didn't refuse and nodded.
The two went to eat together. At the same time, Chen Xing finished eating with Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing in Jindu Hotel. Chen Xing also planned to go back, so he stood up and said, "Old Huang, I'll go back first. Since Li Huayang has just expressed his attitude, I think he won't deliberately make things difficult for Jindu Hotel to apply for a five-star hotel because of you. You can rest assured."
"I have nothing to worry about now." Huang Ming grinned so much that his mouth was almost crooked to his ears. "Chen Xing, you have a big face. Once you took action, Li Huayang didn't have any temper at all. At that time, Xiaojing and I almost broke our legs, but we can't even compare to a few words of yours."
"Okay, don't flatter me. It's one thing that Li Huayang gave me face, but you still have to do what you should do, such as visiting Li Huayang's house and so on." Said Chen Xing.
"I know, these are the basic things." Huang Ming smiled.
"That's good, I'll go first."
Out of the hotel, Chen Xing went straight back to the Municipal Government. Just now, he was talking and laughing with Huang Ming and Lu Xiaojing, but after getting in the car, the smile on Chen Xing's face disappeared. There was still something on his mind. In the morning, the number one member of the Provincial Party Committee, Fu Youjun, and the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Tan Zheng, came down to investigate. There was still a big question mark in Chen Xing's mind. Fu Youjun's faint attitude made Chen Xing worry deep in his heart. On the surface, he affirmed the anti-corruption work of Nanzhou City, but there seemed to be another meaning. Was he dissatisfied with him?
After returning to the office, Chen Xing only sat for a moment. After hesitating for a while, Chen Xing looked at the time. He didn't know if Tan Zheng had the habit of taking a lunch break. Would it be too abrupt to call him now? But the doubts and worries in his heart finally prevailed over reason. Chen Xing still decided to call Tan Zheng. Fu Youjun meant that maybe Tan Zheng could see more thoroughly than him, and he might be able to find out something from Tan Zheng's mouth.
When he called Tan Zheng's number, the call was answered by his secretary. Hearing that Chen Xing was looking for Tan Zheng, the secretary hesitated and told Chen Xing that Tan Zheng had just said that he wanted to take a nap. It was not appropriate to disturb him now.
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Chen Xing was about to say that he would call him later, but he heard Tan Zheng's voice on the other end. After a while, Tan Zheng picked up the phone.
Secretary Tan, sorry to disturb your rest. Chen Xing was quite apologetic.
It's nothing. I can't sleep even if I wanted to. Tan Zheng smiled.
Secretary Tan, I don't know if you are free now. Is it convenient for me to go to your place now? Chen Xing went straight to the point.
If I say it's not convenient, will you not come? Tan Zheng joked.
If it's not convenient for you, then I will find another time to go. How dare I disturb you now? Chen Xing smiled.
Come if you want. If I say I'm not free now, I guess you won't be in the mood to work for the whole afternoon.
Okay, then I will go there now.
Chen Xing hung up the phone. From Tan Zheng's words just now, he didn't feel alienated at all, which made Chen Xing feel a little happy. But then he was worried. Tan Zheng's tone seemed to be hinting at something. Was Fu Youjun's research trip today really as he guessed? Chen Xing frowned unconsciously. He put away his phone and walked out. Facing the dissatisfaction of the leader of the Provincial Party Committee, no one could be relaxed. Especially since Old Master Zhang had just passed away, the status of the Zhang family in the senior management was also in a very delicate situation. Under such a background, facing the leader of the Provincial Party Committee, even with the background of the Zhang family, Chen Xing was a little more worried than usual.
It seemed that Fu Youjun's attitude towards Ge Jian-ming was very obvious. When Chen Xing got in the car, he frowned and thought.
…
In the center of the city, outside the Blue River Club, police cars with sirens flashed and surrounded the Blue River Club. Policemen got out of the cars one by one. Lu Ming, the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, also got out of the car. Squinting at the big signboard of the Blue River Club, Lu Ming's eyes flashed a trace of coldness. Last time, he almost fell into the trap. This time, he finally had the chance to come here openly.
In the club, Deng Wenhua, who returned to the club near noon, walked out surrounded by several people. Seeing the police cars surrounding the door of the club, Deng Wenhua looked angry. What are you doing?
The policemen in the front didn't respond to Deng Wenhua's words. They knew the background of the Blue River Club was not simple. Even if some people didn't know Deng Wenhua, the son of the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, when they saw Deng Wenhua coming out of the club, ordinary policemen didn't dare to be rude to Deng Wenhua. They just kept silent. At this time, Lu Ming pushed away two policemen, walked out, and stood in front.
Surnamed Lu, it's you? Deng Wenhua stared at Lu Ming.
Mr. Deng, we suspect that your club is harboring a murderer who harmed a city leader. We hope you can take the initiative to hand over the murderer, or cooperate with our investigation. Lu Ming and Deng Wenhua looked at each other without any expression on their faces.
Murderer? I don't understand what you are talking about. There is no murderer in my club, and you are not welcome inside. Deng Wenhua coldly snorted.
Mr. Deng, if you say so, I can only bring my men in to investigate the case. I hope you won't stop me, otherwise, you will be obstructing the execution of official duties. Lu Ming sternly said.
Obstructing the execution of official duties? Deng Wenhua sneered. Don't try to scare me. I won't allow you to behave atrociously here. Surnamed Lu, if you know what's good for you, bring your men and leave.
Mr. Deng, do you really want me to bring my men in? Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.
You dare. Deng Wenhua glared and pointed at Lu Ming.
