Mayor, Comrade Wang Yanchun's husband suffers from mental illness. Maybe he had an episode just now. Jia Canyang saw Chen Xing looking at him and hurriedly explained. He thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Wang Yanchun is in charge of mass work in our town. She is popular in the countryside and is good at mass ideological work."
Chen Xing nodded slightly and didn't say anything. At this time, Xu Qingnian interrupted with a smile. Women were more careful, so they really had some advantages in mass work.
Because of this little interlude, the atmosphere was much livelier. Someone mentioned that the farmer dared to call her Wang Yanchun, which meant that Wang Yanchun had never put on airs among the farmers at the grassroots level. Only with this kind of mentality could one do well in mass work.
After all, a little episode was a little episode. The group didn't talk much about Wang Yanchun, but they were a little surprised that there was such a young and beautiful female deputy mayor in Lotus Leaf Town. In fact, if the farmer hadn't shouted just now, no one would really pay attention to Wang Yanchun, who had been mixed in the accompanying crowd.
Deputy Mayor Ma Linping stared at Wang Yanchun's back for a few more times, and there was some different brilliance in his eyes. When he came to Lotus Leaf Town to inspect the agricultural testing area, he didn't notice Wang Yanchun. He didn't expect that there was such a beautiful flower in this remote and desolate place. For Ma Linping, the only member of the Democratic Party among the municipal leaders, there was not much room for progress in his official career. There was no hope for advancement, so naturally, he would focus on other aspects. Ma Linping had his own hobbies.
At noon, the group of people had lunch in the town. The dishes were all local specialties of farmers. For most of them, who usually went to high-end hotels to entertain guests, it was rare for them to have an authentic farmer's cuisine. During the meal, the voices of praise never stopped. Chen Xing also ate with relish and kept praising the dishes.
In the afternoon, Chen Xing and his team finished the inspection and returned to the city.
Before sitting in the office, Chen Xing received a call from Huang Ming, who invited him to dinner in the evening. Looking at the time, it was already past five o 'clock, so Chen Xing simply left early and went to Jindu Hotel.
Huang Ming was still smiling happily, but Lu Xiaojing, who was beside him, looked a little worried. When the couple saw Chen Xing walking over, Huang Ming pulled his wife, who was still in a daze, and walked forward.
You're staying in Nanzhou all day, and you're not going to bring your parents over? Chen Xing saw Huang Ming and asked with a smile. He was very familiar with Huang Ming's parents. When he was still in high school, he often went to Huang Ming's house to play.
I wanted to bring them to Nanzhou to enjoy a happy life, but they didn't want to come. They said they were unfamiliar with this place and didn't even have a neighbor. They would be bored to death. Huang Ming shook his head and smiled.
The couple ushered Chen Xing into the special VIP room. Huang Ming and Chen Xing were very familiar with each other. In addition, he had invited Chen Xing over for something. As soon as they sat down, Huang Ming said under his wife's urging gaze, "Chen Xing, I said I invited you to dinner tonight, but I actually have something to discuss with you."
I knew it. It's not that easy to eat your food. Chen Xing smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's about Tan Fang. These days, we have been paying attention to the progress of the case, and we have also learned about it from Lu Ming several times. Now we believe that the Public Security Bureau did not arrest people indiscriminately, but …" Huang Ming glanced at his wife with a slightly helpless look. After all, Tan Fang had worked in Jindu Hotel for a long time. In Xiaojing's eyes, Tan Fang was more like a sister. This time, Tan Fang had such a thing. If Tan Fang was charged with intentional homicide, the rest of her life would be ruined. Xiaojing hoped that she could settle this matter privately through her relationship.
After listening to Huang Ming's words, Chen Xing frowned slightly.
Mayor Chen, that Zheng Guangfu deserved to die. Even if Sister Tan didn't poison him to death, the court would definitely sentence him to death. You can't put all the blame on Sister Tan. When Zheng Guangfu died, I don't know how many people would clap their hands and cheer. Sister Tan was actually still eliminating evil for the people. After her husband finished speaking, Lu Xiaojing also couldn't wait to speak. In her position, she would naturally try her best to speak for Tan Fang.
Even if Zheng Guangfu deserved to die, he should be tried by the court and finally executed by the state. Otherwise, why would there be a court? Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "Didn't you see that when our police officers arrested those vicious murderers, they would not shoot unless they encountered fierce resistance?"
"That's true, but we can treat Tan Fang's case differently." Lu Xiaojing looked at Chen Xing pleadingly. "Mayor Chen, if you are willing to help, I believe that Tan Fang can be spared from prison."
Chen Xing looked at Lu Xiaojing in a daze. Lu Xiaojing's words were really straightforward. Chen Xing, who was used to speaking in a roundabout way in the officialdom, was really not used to it at this time. However, he didn't care about it. Lu Xiaojing was a person outside the system, and she was anxious about Tan Fang's case. It was normal for her to be anxious.
Chen Xing also smiled bitterly at this moment. Although he knew that there were many dark sides hidden under the so-called fair law, he still emphasized that everyone was equal before the law. This sentence might be ridiculous, but if even those in power lost confidence, how could there be any hope of progress and reform in the future? A fair legal environment and a perfect legal system could not be achieved overnight. In this long process, young officials who really hoped to establish a more open, transparent and legal system were needed to work hard for this goal.
However, Chen Xing couldn't deny that in the current national environment and background, there was another sentence that was also familiar to people. That was, beyond the law, there was nothing more than human feelings.
"Chen Xing, if it's not easy, then don't make it difficult for yourself." Huang Ming glanced at Chen Xing's face and said. As soon as the words came out, Huang Ming almost cried out in pain. Under the table, Lu Xiaojing's two flower-pinching fingers had intimate contact with his thigh, and she twisted it 180 degrees.
"Go to Lu Ming first and let him do it. There shouldn't be too much of a problem." Chen Xing glanced at Huang Ming and his wife and finally said.
"Mayor Chen, if the bureau makes it difficult for us, we can say that it's your idea. A glimmer of joy flashed in Lu Xiaojing's eyes.
Chen Xing nodded helplessly. If Lu Xiaojing came to the officialdom, she probably wouldn't be able to survive …
Huang Ming was much more sophisticated than Lu Xiaojing in the world of human relations. Looking at his wife's performance, Huang Ming also smiled bitterly and shrugged to Chen Xing apologetically. As a husband, he was a henpecked husband. Under the "torture" of his wife, he could only promise to ask Chen Xing to come over and talk about this matter immediately. He didn't have deep feelings for Tan Fang, so he just wanted to help if he could. If he couldn't, there was nothing he could do. His wife was determined to get Tan Fang out.
Chen Xing didn't care too much about Tan Fang's matter. Since he had already spoken, if Lu Ming came forward, Lu Xiaojing could also get a relatively satisfactory result. Chen Xing didn't want to directly intervene in this matter.
The next morning, Chen Xing came to the office as usual.
In the office, Huang Jianghua was personally cleaning the office of Chen Xing. In fact, there was no need for Huang Jianghua to do these things. Chen Xing had mentioned it several times, but Huang Jianghua was still doing it diligently, so Chen Xing didn't mention it again.
"Mayor, I asked Li Yajun out yesterday to talk. Seeing Chen Xing come in, Huang Jianghua stopped what he was doing.
What did he say? Chen Xing was very concerned about this matter, so he signaled Huang Jianghua to come over and explain in detail.
Li Yajun said that on the night of the heavy rain, he did drink with Jia Zhengde at the farmhouse. By the way, there was another person. Mayor, you must be interested in hearing it. Huang Jianghua smiled and deliberately kept Chen Xing guessing. However, when he saw Chen Xing looking over, Huang Jianghua also knew that he had to be careful not to keep Chen Xing guessing. Otherwise, it would be counterproductive, so he hurriedly said. Li Yajun said that the dinner that night was invited by Xie Zhiqing, the boss of Dingjin Shipping Company. Xie Zhiqing mainly invited Jia Zhengde, and he could be regarded as an accompaniment.
Dingjin Shipping Company? Chen Xing thought for a moment. Hearing Huang Jianghua's words, he had an impression that it was related to the smuggling case that Zhou Zhijin was investigating. The smuggling ship involved was this company, and the smuggling case used to be handled by Jia Zhengde. At this moment, Huang Jianghua deliberately emphasized it. Of course, Chen Xing understood the hidden meaning of Huang Jianghua's words. However, in the absence of evidence, Huang Jianghua didn't dare to say anything.
Chen Xing didn't say anything and let Huang Jianghua continue.
Li Yajun said that there were three girls accompanying him at the table at that time. It was said that they were all students recruited by Xie Zhiqing from the University of Nanzhou. After the dinner that night, he and Jia Zhengde each took a girl to the same hotel to get a room, but Xie Zhiqing didn't go with them. Huang Jianghua said again.
Did you ask Li Yajun to stand up and prove what he said? Chen Xing was thoughtful.
I asked him, but he didn't want to. Huang Jianghua's face flashed a trace of helplessness. After yesterday's contact with Li Yajun, Huang Jianghua could understand Li Yajun's thoughts. He could shout in private as a way to vent his unwillingness. After all, the higher-ups asked him to resign from the position of deputy district chief. It was understandable that Li Yajun was unwilling. For a cadre who might have room for promotion in the future, this kind of blow could be imagined. Therefore, these days, Li Yajun had been shouting about what happened that night everywhere to express that things were unfair. This approach was Li Yajun's attempt to get some bargaining chips and benefits from Jia Zhengde. If he really asked him to stand up and prove it publicly, it would be tantamount to completely offending Jia Zhengde. To be more serious, he would also offend Ge Jian-ming. It was normal for Li Yajun to refuse.
The two female students who went to get a room with them that night, could they find them? Chen Xing asked again.
I'm arranging for someone to look for them. If it's confirmed that they are students from the University of Nanzhou, it shouldn't be difficult to find them. Huang Jianghua said.
"Well, if you find them, do their work." Chen Xing said and glanced at Huang Jianghua. The latter should know what to do.
The two just talked about this matter for a while. Huang Jianghua continued to be busy. Chen Xing had to go to the Provincial government for a meeting in the afternoon. There were some materials to be prepared in advance in the morning.
At about nine o 'clock, Ma Chaoan, the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, came to Chen Xing's office. Ma Chaoan came this time for the proposal to raise the teachers' salaries last time. Chen Xing rejected it. After Ma Chaoan went back, he really spent a lot of effort to re-investigate and come up with a more feasible plan.
"Mayor, this is the plan that you asked to be re-written last time. After getting your approval, I went back and held a meeting in the bureau. I organized a large number of staff to go to various schools to do field research. This is the re-written plan." Ma Chaoan handed the document to Chen Xingxin with a careful look, but he was already cursing in his heart. In order to raise the teachers' salaries, he, as the bureau chief, had to put in a lot of effort. Damn it, which bureau chief was as dedicated as him? After all, how much the teachers' salaries increased had nothing to do with him, right?
When the teachers' salaries increased, people would only praise the good policies of the country and pay more attention to the teachers. No one would be grateful to him, the director of education. Look at how hard he worked.
Chen Xing took the document, but did not look at it immediately. He did not oppose to raise the teachers' salaries. Not only the Municipal Education Bureau submitted the document, but also the counties and cities under it. Some of the more developed economies would also raise the teachers' salaries in their own areas. This part of the money was borne by the county and city finance. But in the end, it still had to be reported to the city for approval. Generally, as long as the first and second leaders of the county and city signed and agreed, it would basically be approved by the city. Chen Xing would not oppose the counties and cities with better economic conditions to raise the teachers' salaries in their areas.
However, the gap in the teachers' income is a real problem. Of course, this also has to take into account the different economic consumption levels in different areas.
Among the teachers on the payroll, the income of the teachers in Nanzhou City is much higher than that in Xing Hua County. But the consumption level in the city is much higher than that in Xing Hua County. This index also has to be taken into account.
Last time, some people reported that some of the poor counties and towns even owed the teachers' salaries. Although this phenomenon is not common, we can not ignore it. The Municipal Education Bureau should pay more attention to the living conditions of the teachers in the remote mountainous areas. Chen Xing looked at Ma Chaoan and said.
Our bureau's leadership will take the lead to understand more. For the remote mountainous areas, and some teachers who have difficulties living because of family, illness, and other factors, we will come up with a proper subsidy plan. Ma Chaoan solemnly said. Since the mayor was concerned, as the bureau chief, there was no reason for him not to be serious, even if he felt that it was not important.
Chen Xing nodded and roughly flipped through the documents handed over by Ma Chaoan. Chen Xing was too lazy to ask Ma Chaoan if he had reported to the deputy mayor in charge, Ceng Gaoqiang. It seems that after the last time, the Education Bureau really did put in a lot of effort. Chen Xing waved the pen and also signed.
Ma Chaoan left with a jolt.
Near noon, Chen Xing went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch. Before he reached the first floor, he heard the hurried sound of high heels coming from behind. Before Chen Xing could turn around to see who it was, the other person almost bumped into him.
Sorry, sorry, excuse me. The woman's voice was quite anxious. She lowered her head and hurried on.
