Yang Zhen greeted his companions and walked to Chen Xing's side. Mayor Chen, why are you here?
Someone dragged you here to play. Chen Xing smiled. What about you? Why are you here in Beijing?
I came to Beijing for a meeting and got to know a few friends from other cities. I heard that there was such a place, so I came here to play. Yang Zhen smiled. His eyes swept over Zhang Yi, who was beside Chen Xing. He was curious about Zhang Yi's identity.
Are you free later? Chen Xing smiled. If he had nothing to do, he would come here to play.
He was free. After the meeting yesterday, he was supposed to return to Hai City today. But he was dragged here by them, so he changed his flight to tomorrow. He could take it as a day off. Yang Zhen smiled.
Chen Xing nodded. Since it was a coincidence, he also wanted to chat with Yang Zhen. At this time, Zhang Yi had already walked in. Chen Xing followed him and signaled Yang Zhen to follow.
The three of them went upstairs. When they reached the second floor, Yang Zhen saw that the people in front were still going up. He was slightly surprised. When they came here earlier, they could only play on the second floor. The third floor was not open to ordinary guests. Even if they were the heads of the Public Security Bureau, they were still not qualified to go up. Yang Zhen and the others were a little dissatisfied at first. Later, the people who brought them here whispered something to them, and they completely shut up. It turned out that this shooting club had a big background. The boss behind it was a figure in the circle of high-ranking officials in Beijing.
It turned out that this shooting club had a big background. The behind-the-scenes boss was someone from the circle of high-ranking officials in Beijing. He also had a red background. He opened this club purely for his friends in the circle to have fun. He had no intention of making money at all. Although it was open to the public, the people who came to play were either rich or respectable. Their status as the city's Public Security Bureau Chief might be impressive in their own land, but here, they were really nothing.
Mayor Chen, who is your friend? Yang Zhen finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Hehe, he's my brother-in-law. Chen Xing smiled. Yang Zhen was one of his people. Chen Xing had nothing to hide.
Oh. Yang Zhen nodded, but his heart trembled. The Zhang family? No wonder. Yang Zhen felt relieved. It turned out that he had such a powerful background. No wonder he went to the third floor so casually. Grandpa Zhang left, but a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse.
What's so special about this shooting club? Someone like you who can touch a gun at any time would also be interested in this kind of thing? Chen Xing asked with a smile.
Heh, many of the guns here are things that even I have never seen before. It's not strange for people like us who work in the police force to be interested. Yang Zhen smiled.
Chen Xing was enlightened. From Yang Zhen's simple words, it was enough to infer other information. It seemed that the boss behind this club was not simple. But then he thought about how Zhang Yi came here. Maybe the boss of this club was also someone in the same circle.
Zhang Yi stopped when he reached the third floor. Some of the club's staff saw Zhang Yi and quickly came up to him. They greeted him respectfully, "Young Master Zhang."
Zhang Yi nodded slightly and turned to Chen Xing with a smile. "Chen Xing, have you played with guns before? Do you want to try the latest automatic rifle? It's from the black market overseas. Other than here, you won't be able to see it in other shooting clubs. "
Really? Chen Xing's interest was piqued. He had never touched a gun before. Let alone an automatic rifle, he had never even touched an ordinary handgun. With his position, it was not difficult for him to get a gun legally. However, Chen Xing's mind was not on this.
Do you want to try it? Zhang Yi smiled.
"You play first. I'll talk to my friend first. I'll try it later." Chen Xing smiled and nodded. He looked at Yang Zhen and found that Yang Zhen's eyes were shining. He was even more interested than he was.
Yang Zhen noticed Chen Xing's gaze and smiled. "We were playing on the second floor just now. The guns below are more ordinary."
As Yang Zhen said this, he sat down next to Chen Xing and moved his head closer. Mayor, Zhao Yiping is now the Secretary and Mayor. The city is full of complaints. I visited Minister Yuan Jiang's house the day before yesterday. He was also full of grievances. In the past, when Zhao Yiping was the Mayor, he didn't dare to put his hands on him. But now it's different. Zhao Yiping has almost all the power in his hands. Minister Yuan Jiang is also very helpless.
Hasn't there been any news about the new Mayor in the province? Chen Xing frowned. Zhao Yiping was a woman with a strong ambition for power. She was transferred to the Municipal Party Committee as the Secretary. Because of the province, she was temporarily appointed as the Mayor. One could imagine how powerful Zhao Yiping was now. With her character, it was normal for her to gather power. But the Organization Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, Yuan Jiang, was not in the same league as her. It was not surprising that she wanted to suppress Yuan Jiang.
He wasn't sure. There had been rumors that the province would soon appoint a new Mayor. But until now, there was no sign of him. Yang Zhen shook his head. He glanced at Chen Xing and said half-jokingly, "Mayor Chen, if only you could be transferred back. We would have found an organization."
"Hehe, that's impossible." Knowing that Yang Zhen was joking, Chen Xing still shook his head with a smile. He had been transferred to Nanzhou for less than a year. It was impossible for him to be transferred back to Hai City. Moreover, his father-in-law was now the Secretary of Jianghai Province. If he was transferred back to Hai City, it would be too eye-catching for both his father-in-law and son-in-law to hold leadership positions in the same province.
"I know, but Minister Yuan Jiang and I, as well as other people, are all looking forward to your return. Now that Zhao Yiping is so aggressive, we can only support each other. I'm afraid that Zhao Yiping will go overboard.
"I don't think so. Although Zhao Yiping is arrogant, she can get to where she is now. Besides luck, she is not completely arrogant and ignorant. I don't think she will go overboard." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and carefully recalled Zhao Yiping. Chen Xing still had a clear memory in his mind.
"By the way, Mayor Chen, there's something I don't know if I should say." Yang Zhen suddenly thought of something and said.
"Director Yang, we're old acquaintances. If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Here's the thing. I'm old friends with Deputy Director Cai Zhimin of the Municipal Letters and Calls Bureau. A while ago, I heard from him that he seemed to have seen a letter about your mother. At that time, he asked someone to pick it out and ignore it. However, the next day, he saw that the letter had disappeared. He didn't know where it had gone. Later, after asking, he found out that it had been taken away by Zhao Yiping's secretary.
"When did this happen?" Chen Xing looked surprised.
"It should have been some time, but there was no more news after that. Cai Zhimin didn't pay much attention to it. A few days ago, when I was drinking with him, I accidentally heard him mention it. He also said that Zhao Yiping was afraid that it would affect you, so he asked his secretary to take away the letter to indirectly protect your reputation." Yang Zhen shook his head. Cai Zhimin didn't know that Chen Xing and Zhao Yiping didn't get along well in private. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing. However, when he heard it, he just remembered it in his heart and didn't say anything to Cai Zhimin. Maybe it was because he drank too much that night, but he forgot it the next day. Now that he was sitting with Chen Xing, he suddenly remembered it.
If Zhao Yiping still wanted to protect my reputation, the sun would rise from the west. Chen Xing curled his lips in disdain. What Yang Zhen said had given him a wake-up call. It seemed that he had to find a time to talk to his parents about it. He had to be more careful in order to avoid being targeted by people with ulterior motives.
Mayor Chen, Zhao Yiping shouldn't have any bad ideas. Yang Zhen glanced at Chen Xing.
"It shouldn't be. My mother only works in the office of the Forestry Bureau. I have asked her to be more careful in the past, and she knows her limits. Besides, that Zhao Yiping shouldn't take the initiative to provoke me." Chen Xing thought for a moment and said. No matter what, his father-in-law was still the secretary of Jianghai Province. Even if Zhao Yiping had the support of the governor, he wouldn't be so bold.
"That's good. I haven't heard any news recently, so it should be fine." Yang Zhen nodded.
As the two chatted, Zhang Yi had already put on a soundproof earmuff and was holding a rifle in the shooting room. He was shooting at a moving target. The inside of the shooting room was made of glass, so people outside could see everything clearly.
While Chen Xing was still far away in the capital, in Nanzhou City, in the office of Deng Yi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, the Deputy Mayor of Nanzhou City, Ceng Gaoqiang, was humbly flattering him. Ceng Gaoqiang was in a particularly good mood at this time. He could come to see Deng Yi because his nephew, Chen Dafei, and Deng Yi's son, Deng Wenhua, were very close. After Deng Wenhua helped him in private, Ceng Gaoqiang was finally able to get what he wanted. Especially now that he knew that Deng Yi was going to be transferred to replace Ge Jian-ming, Ceng Gaoqiang was even more eager. He hoped to ride on Deng Yi's coattails.
Ceng Gaoqiang had his own calculations in mind. Deng Yi looked at Ceng Gaoqiang, who was in front of him, flattering him in his heart. Although he listened comfortably, he felt quite disdainful, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't have much foundation in Nanzhou. Although he had worked in the Provincial Party Committee for two or three years, he was transferred from Tongnan City. Now that he was transferred to Nanzhou as the secretary, he was relatively an outsider. Ceng Gaoqiang was a local cadre. In Deng Yi's eyes, there was no doubt that he had value. At this time, Deng Yi also smiled warmly at Ceng Gaoqiang.
