Secretary Liao, do you want to get off? In the car, Li Wanjun, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was sitting in the back seat with Liao Donghua. Ever since Liao Donghua became the director of the Public Security Bureau, Li Wanjun quickly sided with Liao Donghua. Now, in the Municipal Bureau, he was Liao Donghua's right-hand man. Knowing that Liao Donghua didn't like Lu Ming, Li Wanjun secretly became Liao Donghua's vanguard in isolating Lu Ming.
No need. Liao Donghua waved his hand, not intending to get off the car. Liao Donghua knew that Lu Ming had brought people to the Blue River Club. Although he hadn't been in the Municipal Bureau for a long time, the Municipal Bureau's Executive Deputy Director Zhang Qingyang's serious dereliction of duty had caused the entire Municipal Bureau to undergo a major reshuffle. As the new director, he could easily control the situation. Although Lu Ming had arrived at the Municipal Bureau earlier than him and was appointed as the Executive Deputy Director, Lu Ming, after all, didn't have any foundation in the Municipal Bureau, so he could easily suppress Lu Ming.
Hearing Liao Donghua's words, Li Wanjun nodded slightly and didn't say anything. Liao Donghua followed Lu Ming out. Lu Ming didn't know that they were not in the police car. Lu Ming, who was carrying out official business in the Blue River Club, probably didn't know that Liao Donghua was watching them not far away.
Narrowing his eyes, Li Wanjun looked at the Blue River Club in front of him. Ordinary people only knew that it was a high-class club, but as the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, how could he not know that behind this club was the powerful Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee? With such a background, how could ordinary people investigate this club?
Li Wanjun admired Lu Ming's courage. Even if he had the support of Mayor Chen, the consequences of offending the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee was not something a small cadre like them could bear. In the eyes of ordinary people, the official hat on their heads was not small, but in the eyes of a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, they were nothing. A single word from the provincial leader could determine their career and fate.
Lu Ming had the support of Chen Xing, and his relationship with Chen Xing was much closer than ordinary people imagined. If Lu Ming had just been appointed as the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau, Li Wanjun would not have dared to have any ideas about Lu Ming's position. However, the situation often changed unexpectedly. The current situation was very delicate. Although Mayor Chen was powerful, his situation was not good. In the political and legal system, Liao Donghua, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, who sat next to him, was also not on good terms with Chen Xing. Lu Ming and Chen Xing were too close, which meant that Lu Ming would only incur Liao Donghua's dissatisfaction. Liao Donghua was also a person with roots in the province. From Liao Donghua's secret suppression of Lu Ming in the Municipal Bureau, it could be seen that Liao Donghua was not happy to see Lu Ming as the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau. If not for Chen Xing, perhaps Lu Ming would have been kicked out long ago. However, even with the protection of Chen Xing, Lu Ming was still at a disadvantage in the Municipal Bureau. Most of the time, he was not in the Municipal Bureau. He said that he was going to the Provincial Department to help with cases, but everyone knew that he was trying to avoid Liao Donghua.
Lu Ming's current situation wasn't good. Today, he actually dared to bring people to break into the Blue River Club. Li Wanjun was rejoicing in Lu Ming's misfortune. He anxiously hoped that Lu Ming would suffer a huge setback this time. When the time came, it wasn't impossible for him to replace Lu Ming. Since he was following Liao Donghua's footsteps, Liao Donghua had no reason not to support him.
Li Wanjun had his own thoughts. Liao Donghua also didn't come here to watch the bustle. Lu Ming bringing people to break into the Blue River Club was a serious case. This was because the mayor's assistant, Zhou Zhijin, was injured in the club while carrying out his official duties. Whether the injury was serious or not, it was clearly not a small matter. But then again, this kind of matter could be big or small. With the background of the Blue River Club, many people hoped that the big matter would be turned into a small matter and the small matter into nothing. However, Chen Xing and Zhou Zhijin wouldn't agree. Liao Donghua knew that Lu Ming's actions must have been incited by either Chen Xing or Zhou Zhijin. No matter which of the two, in the end, they would definitely be able to represent the two. Therefore, Liao Donghua didn't stop Lu Ming. He hoped that the bigger the matter, the better. Just like the complicated struggle in the city, the struggle at the provincial level was also thrilling. As a member of the Provincial government, Liao Donghua naturally had his own plans on how to deal with it.
Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
After Chen Xing received Tan Zheng's approval over the phone, he immediately left the Municipal Government and went to Tan Zheng's office. This wasn't the first time that Chen Xing came to Tan Zheng's office. But this time, Chen Xing seemed to have a lot on his mind.
Chen Xing came. Sit. Tan Zheng's attitude towards Chen Xing was the same as before. Just like on the phone, there wasn't the slightest hint of alienation.
I came at noon, I hope I didn't disturb Secretary Tan's rest. Chen Xing said with a smile. Tan Zheng's attitude made him feel a little more at ease.
You only said this after you came. Chen Xing, I think you're saying this after the fact. Tan Zheng smiled and his attitude was amiable.
It seems that I really did disturb Secretary Tan's lunch break. Chen Xing's face was a bit apologetic. Fortunately, Tan Zheng didn't show any dissatisfaction. Chen Xing felt a bit more at ease.
Alright, enough with the nonsense. I think you wouldn't come without a reason. Speak, what's the matter? Tan Zheng glanced at Chen Xing and said.
Since Secretary Tan said this, I can also come to Secretary Tan's office if I have nothing to do. I'm just afraid that Secretary Tan will think that I'm an eyesore. Chen Xing said with a smile.
If you really have nothing to do at noon, then you can go back now. You're a young man and don't need to rest. If I don't take a nap at noon, I'll be listless for the whole afternoon. Tan Zheng looked at Chen Xing with a smile.
Chen Xing was taken aback for a moment before a bitter smile appeared on his face. After all, he had something on his mind. Although Tan Zheng was just joking, since he had already put it that way, Chen Xing didn't bother hiding it anymore. "Secretary Tan, I wonder if Secretary You Jun's speech today has a deeper meaning?" I'm a bit slow and can't quite understand it. I hope Secretary Tan can give me some advice. "
Is that so? Tan Zheng smiled indifferently. It seemed that he had already guessed the purpose of Chen Xing's visit. Tan Zheng was not surprised by Chen Xing's words at this moment. His eyes lingered on Chen Xing for a moment. Tan Zheng said, "Chen Xing, I think you're not slow. You just don't dare to think about the bad side."
This … Chen Xing was speechless. Tan Zheng's words hit the nail on the head.
Tan Zheng sighed in his heart when he saw Chen Xing's expression. Although he seemed to be able to talk and laugh freely on the surface, he wasn't really that relaxed on the inside. Today, Fu Youjun's visit to Nanzhou City to investigate the Party's work style and discipline seemed to approve of Nanzhou City's work, but on the other hand, he had the intention to knock Chen Xing down. Chen Xing was worried that Fu Youjun would be dissatisfied with him. How could Tan Zheng not have the same worry? The Commission for Discipline Inspection was under the leadership of the Party Committee. Although he, as the Provincial Secretary for Discipline Inspection, had a tough style, he had never been soft on corruption cases. However, in the face of Fu Youjun's possible dissatisfaction, Tan Zheng also felt deep pressure. He, as the Secretary for Discipline Inspection, came from a different place. Before, his relationship with Fu Youjun wasn't close, and Fu Youjun had never interfered with the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Tan Zheng, as the Secretary for Discipline Inspection, also felt that he was worthy of this position.
This time, Tan Zheng was also facing a major test between the principles of Party spirit and external pressure. It wasn't only Chen Xing who was worried and apprehensive. His subordinates were afraid of him as the Provincial Secretary for Discipline Inspection, but they didn't know that he was sometimes sitting on pins and needles, like walking on ice. The struggle in the officialdom was too cruel. Even though he was now a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary for Discipline Inspection, so what? If he wasn't careful, he could also be crushed into pieces in this big whirlpool.
The two sat facing each other in silence for a while. Chen Xing captured a trace of helplessness from Tan Zheng's face. He was even more shocked. His eyes stared at Tan Zheng's face for a moment, then Chen Xing said, "Secretary Tan, it seems that I've caused you a lot of trouble.
It's not trouble. The work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is to investigate and deal with Party members' violations of laws and regulations. As long as there is sufficient evidence of Party members' violations of laws and regulations, the Commission for Discipline Inspection should intervene and investigate. " Tan Zheng waved his hand. He didn't take Chen Xing's words seriously.
Chen Xing listened to Tan Zheng's words and fell silent. Tan Zheng's words gave him some comfort, but when he thought about what Fu Youjun had said today, even though Fu Youjun's words weren't targeted at him, it was enough to make him worry.
Comrade Jianming was transferred from the ministry after Secretary Youjun went to Nanhai to take charge of the work. After all, he was someone who had worked with him before. Tan Zheng seemed to be muttering to himself before he let out a soft sigh.
Chen Xing was slightly stunned. Tan Zheng's words had explained a lot. Although Fu Youjun and Ge Jian-ming belonged to different departments and systems before they went to Nanhai, a careful look at their resumes showed that the two had crossed paths more than ten years ago. They used to work in the same department. At that time, Fu Youjun was the department leader, while Ge Jian-ming was just a department cadre. Although they didn't seem to have a special relationship, who knew what their relationship was like in private? After Fu Youjun took charge of Nanhai, Ge Jian-ming was also transferred from the ministry. In fact, the relationship between the two was already extraordinary. Instead of saying that Ge Jian-ming was in charge of Nanzhou, it was more like Ge Jian-ming was in charge of the provincial capital for Fu Youjun. They were both external cadre, but how could the relationship between the two be comparable?
Chen Xing didn't ask any more questions. Even if Fu Youjun had nothing to do with Ge Jian-ming today, there was no need to guess Fu Youjun's inclination. He would definitely stand on Ge Jian-ming's side. It was just that Fu Youjun had never shown any attitude before, so Chen Xing subconsciously ignored Fu Youjun, who was the head of the Provincial Party Committee in Nanhai Province. In fact, Chen Xing couldn't be blamed for his negligence. The position of the head of the Provincial Party Committee was not that worthless. In the eyes of the cadre below, even if it was a high-level cadre like him, it was still high up and unpredictable. In Chen Xing's view, Fu Youjun would not and could not directly say anything about the struggle of the lower levels. But today, Chen Xing was undoubtedly shocked and alerted.
Secretary Tan, how far is Ye Kaiyun's case going? Chen Xing ventured to ask.
It will soon enter the judicial stage. Tan Zheng said indifferently.
Hearing this, Chen Xing nodded secretly. This was fast enough. With Tan Zheng, the head of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, directly interfered, the efficiency of the case was obviously different. At the same time, Chen Xing secretly thought, Could it be that Ye Kaiyun's case made Ge Jian-ming angry and finally alarmed Fu Youjun?
Just as Chen Xing's imagination was running wild, Tan Zheng said again, "Chen Xing, I think you shouldn't think too much. Do your work as you should. We should deeply understand Secretary Youjun's speech, but also combine it with our actual situation. Currently, the Central Government is repeatedly emphasizing the anti-corruption work. I believe Secretary Youjun's speech today should be in line with the spirit of the Central Government."
Huh? Chen Xing looked at Tan Zheng doubtfully. He didn't understand what Tan Zheng meant.
Chen Xing, go do what you should do. As the old saying goes, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Don't worry too much. Tan Zheng said with a smile.
Chen Xing smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he really not think about anything? He didn't have much help in the South China Sea. The Zhang family sent him here to train him. Chen Xing knew that even if he couldn't hand in a full score, he couldn't perform too badly. Otherwise, why would the Zhang family spend so many resources and connections to support him? So what if he was the son-in-law of the Zhang family? The Zhang family was a huge faction, and this large faction didn't just include the Zhang family. The relationships and resources possessed by a faction were fixed, but there would never be a lack of officials who wanted to climb up. Everyone hoped to be supported and taken care of by the faction, so the distribution of resources was extremely important and sensitive. He had the relationship with the Zhang family, so he could get special care and support. But if he didn't live up to expectations, even if the Zhang family wanted to support him, would the other big shots in the faction not have any objections?
There was no doubt that the problem Chen Xing faced was to hand in a good result during his tenure in Nanzhou. He wasn't just here to be gilded, hang around for a few years, and then leave when the time was up.
But thinking about it, Chen Xing could also understand the other meaning behind Tan Zheng's words. Even if Fu Youjun's speech today was meant to knock him down, it shouldn't be something he should consider too much. Different levels had different rules of the game. It was impossible for Fu Youjun to directly intervene in the struggle of his level. If that really happened, there would naturally be others who would stand up to restrain Fu Youjun. Just as Tan Zheng said, if the sky collapsed, there would be someone to hold it up. It was not his turn to worry. What he needed to do was to do his own thing.
Chen Xing didn't stay long in Tan Zheng's office. Very soon, he said his goodbyes. Tan Zheng's words actually had the effect of enlightening Chen Xing. No matter what Fu Youjun's attitude was, Chen Xing only needed to speculate and do his best. If he could hand in a good result in Nanzhou, how could the Zhang family sit back and watch him be trampled on?
Secretary Tan, please stay. Chen Xing saw Tan Zheng get up to see him off and hurriedly said.
Okay, then I won't see you off. Take care. Tan Zheng nodded with a smile. He merely smiled and gave Chen Xing a few more steps before stopping. He had already shown Chen Xing enough respect in the past few times they had interacted. There was no need for him to deliberately express his goodwill anymore. He believed that if he were to be of use in the future, he would be able to forge a good relationship with Chen Xing today.
Watching Chen Xing leave, the smile on Tan Zheng's face slowly disappeared and was replaced with a slightly serious look. After a moment, Tan Zheng laughed self-mockingly. His fear of Fu Youjun was self-evident. But thinking about it, he might not stay in the South China Sea for a long time. Right now, he just needed to do his job well. As long as he followed the procedures, Fu Youjun wouldn't be able to find an excuse to make trouble. As the Secretary of a province's Discipline Inspection Commission, how could he not have some connections in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Now he showed respect to Chen Xing, more or less, to show goodwill to the Zhang family behind Chen Xing. But now Elder Zhang had passed away, which made Tan Zheng feel a little regretful.
When Chen Xing left the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, the atmosphere in the Blue River Club was tense. Lu Ming had already planned to break in with his men, while Deng Wenhua showed his uncooperative attitude. Letting Lu Ming come in and arrest people was tantamount to slapping him in the face. Deng Wenhua had always been a man who valued his reputation. How could he let others see him as a joke?
Behind Deng Wenhua, Chen Dafei stood leisurely. He didn't show his head directly, but he didn't hide away either. At this moment, he stood behind Deng Wenhua with an expression of watching a play. There was a faint trace of mockery in the depths of his eyes. There was only one voice in his mind, "Make a scene, make a scene, the bigger the better."
"Mayor, are you going back or …?" Out of the gate of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, Chen Xing's driver, Li Yong, asked.
Go to the hospital. Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and said.
When he arrived at the hospital, Chen Xing went straight to Zhou Zhijin's ward. The hospital arranged a senior cadre ward for Zhou Zhijin, which was a single room. Chen Xing thought that there would be few people at this time. He didn't expect that someone would come to see Zhou Zhijin. He walked in and saw that it was Zhao Yuanming, the director of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the Customs. Chen Xing nodded to him.
Mayor Chen. Zhao Yuanming did not dare to be arrogant. He stood up and greeted Chen Xing. Even if the customs were not under the jurisdiction of the local government, Zhao Yuanming would not dare to be arrogant in front of Chen Xing.
He didn't expect Chief Zhao to be here too. Chen Xing smiled and gestured for Zhao Yuanming to sit down.
I heard that Assistant Zhou was injured, so I came to take a look. Mayor Chen, you can chat with Assistant Zhou. I will leave first. Zhao Yuanming smiled.
Chief Zhao, I'll have to trouble you with this case. I'm afraid I'll have to lie here for the next two days. Zhou Zhijin said.
"Assistant Zhou, what are you talking about? The case is our common responsibility. I'm duty-bound. There's no need to trouble me." Zhao Yuanming said seriously.
Zhou Zhijin nodded and said no more. Chen Xing stood aside and didn't ask him to stay. Zhao Yuanming was sensible and didn't stay, so he had nothing to say.
After Zhao Yuanming left, Chen Xing sat down beside the bed. Zhou Zhijin saw that there were no outsiders, so he sat up on the bed like a carp.
"Zhijin, I think you'd better lie down. If you want to pretend to be a patient, you should pretend to be real. If someone comes later, you don't look like a patient at all." Chen Xing smiled.
"Tut, who knows if I'm pretending or not? Everyone knows it." Zhou Zhijin shook his head.
"It's hard to say. What's real and what's fake, that's the effect we want." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"I can't lie down on this bed anymore. I don't know what's going on with the bureau. I guess they will definitely be rejected." Zhou Zhijin went straight to the point.
"According to our analysis of Deng Wenhua's character, it's normal that he doesn't let people in to investigate. Lu Ming's action can't go smoothly.
"It's good that it doesn't go smoothly. It's exactly what we want."
As they were talking, Chen Xing's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and looked at it. A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Xing's face. It was the driver, Li Yong. Li Yong was waiting for him in the car downstairs. Why would he call him?
"Mayor, I saw the car of Secretary General Deng of the Provincial Party Committee coming. He also came and went into the ward you are in."
"Deng Yi came?" Chen Xing stood up suddenly.
