At night, Chen Xing came to the Jindu Hotel. Huang Ming proposed a small gathering in the evening, and Chen Xing did not object. Chu Rong, He Li, Jiang Wan, and Lu Ming were there. It could be considered a small gathering for those who came from Hai City.
The others had already arrived, and Chen Xing was the last to arrive. When he arrived at the private room, the atmosphere inside was already very lively. They were all from Hai City and were familiar with each other. Except for Jiang Wan, who had not yet integrated into this small circle, the others were already very familiar with each other.
As soon as Chen Xing arrived, Lu Ming stood up. "Mayor, you're here."
"Lu Ming, have a seat. We're all on the same side tonight, so there's no need to be so formal." Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand. Soon, he asked, "Have all the work been arranged?" "There's no room for mistakes these few days."
"Mayor, don't worry. It's not my turn to be on duty tonight, so I can come here without worry. Besides, Liao Donghua also attaches great importance to this matter. He is also afraid that any mistakes will affect his official position." Lu Ming smiled. At this critical juncture, no one dared to be careless.
"The higher-ups are having a meeting, and you, the lower-ups, are also nervous." Lu Xiaojing said with a smile.
During these few days of the conference, if there was any major social incident, then it would be hard for him to live with his black hat. Chen Xing said with a smile.
As Chen Xing spoke, he sat down in the only empty seat. Beside him were the three women, Chu Rong, He Li, and Jiang Wan. He didn't know who arranged the seats. Chen Xing rolled his eyes and felt uncomfortable sitting down.
"Chen Xing, do you want to drink a few more glasses tonight?" Huang Ming sat diagonally opposite to Chen Xing, and now he winked at Chen Xing ambiguously.
He knew when to stop drinking. If he got drunk and something unexpected happened, it would be troublesome. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. After sitting down, Chen Xing quickly noticed that Tan Fang was sitting next to Lu Ming. When Lu Ming stood up to speak, he didn't notice her. Now that he sat down, he noticed her.
Chen Xing was a little surprised. He wondered why Huang Ming asked Tan Fang to sit with him. Then he heard Lu Ming say, "Mayor, I saw that Tan Fang is fine, so I asked her to sit down and eat with us. The more the merrier."
Huh?! Chen Xing was stunned. He looked thoughtfully at Tan Fang, who was sitting next to Lu Ming, and then at Lu Ming.
Without saying much, Chen Xing smiled at the others and said, "Since everyone is here, it's time to serve the dishes."
If we weren't waiting for you, we might have already eaten our fill. Huang Ming said with a smile.
Lu Xiaojing had already asked the chef of the hotel to prepare the dishes. As soon as she gave the order, the special signature dishes of the hotel were served one by one. Jiang Wan tasted them one by one carefully. Chen Xing couldn't help laughing when he saw her look. "Jiang Wan, are you going to learn from us secretly so that your restaurant can learn from us?"
"I'm not a chef. How can I secretly learn?" Jiang Wan said embarrassedly, "Mayor Chen, don't let Mr. Lu misunderstand me."
"Miss Jiang, if you want to learn, I can ask the chef to teach you. I'm not afraid that you will learn it." Lu Xiaojing said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, don't let Mayor Chen talk nonsense. I'm just tasting the dishes in your hotel compared with our restaurant." Jiang Wan explained with a smile.
"What do you think?" Lu Xiaojing was also interested. Although Jiang Wan's restaurant was not worth mentioning compared with her hotel, they were both in the food and beverage industry. Lu Xiaojing also wanted to hear the comments of people in the same industry.
"In fact, I'm just trying it casually. I'm not a professional chef. If you ask me to compare, I can't say anything."
As Jiang Wan and Lu Xiaojing talked, He Hi smiled and looked at them. Without batting an eyelid, she moved closer to Chen Xing's ear and chuckled. "Chen Xing, that Jiang Wan must have been eaten by you a long time ago. Look at her calling you Mayor Chen. The two of you must be putting on an act in front of us.
"Ahem, He Li, pay attention to your image. There are others here." Chen Xing looked at He Li angrily.
"Pay attention to your image? Everyone here knows you. You are still pretending to be serious." He Li bit her red lips and blew into Chen Xing's ear. Only she and Chen Xing could hear her, but she did not hide her intimate behavior with Chen Xing. As she said, everyone here knew Chen Xing very well.
Chen Xing shook his head helplessly. He Li always liked to do things that were out of line. He really couldn't do anything to this little vixen.
"Chen Xing, it seems that we haven't officially celebrated your promotion to be a father. Tonight is a good day. Let's toast to you and congratulate you." Huang Ming stood up with a smile.
"Yes, Mayor, I haven't congratulated you yet." Lu Ming also stood up with a smile.
At the mention of this, Chen Xing was obviously a little happy and in high spirits. He filled his glass with wine and toasted with everyone with a smile on his face.
As soon as he sat down, Chen Xing felt a pain in his waist. He Li was stretching out his little hand and pinching him from behind. He turned his head and looked at He Li. He Li leaned over and said coquettishly, "Chen Xing, when will I give birth to a big fat boy for you?"
Chen Xing's scalp was numb. He subconsciously turned his head to the other side and saw that Chu Rong and Jiang Wan were also looking at him with bright eyes. The two women might not know what He Li was talking about now, but there was no doubt that the three women were touched when Huang Ming congratulated him on becoming a father.
Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time, but he knew that this kind of thing must not be fooled around.
"He Li, if you mess around again, I will punish you later." Chen Xing whispered to He Li with a slight warning. This little vixen really had no scruples.
"Well, I am waiting for you to punish me. It seems that you haven't punished me for a while. My skin is itching, hee hee." He Li gave Chen Xing a provocative look.
Chen Xing smiled bitterly. He really couldn't deal with this woman. If there was no one else, Chen Xing really wanted to press this little vixen down and "teach" her a good lesson.
Chen Xing was having a headache. When He Li teased him from time to time, Lu Ming's phone rang and broke the atmosphere in the room. Lu Ming smiled apologetically and went to the side to answer the phone.
Soon, Lu Ming came back with a dignified look. Mayor, there was a student riot at the University of Nanzhou.
"What?" Chen Xing was dumbfounded.
As soon as Lu Ming's voice fell, Chen Xing's phone rang almost at the same time. He picked up the phone and looked at the number. Chen Xing frowned. It was Liao Donghua's call. He didn't need to think to know that it must be to report to him. Such a thing happened at this time. Even if Liao Donghua didn't like him on the surface, he wouldn't dare to hide it at this time.
Sure enough, Chen Xing's guess was right.
"Let's go to Nanzhou University right now." Chen Xing's face darkened.
Lu Ming nodded and didn't say anything. He knew it was a big deal. At this time, neither of them was in the mood to eat.
Coming out of the hotel, Chen Xing let Lu Ming sit in his car. The two went to the University of Nanzhou together. In the car, Chen Xing's phone kept ringing. It was all about the student riot at the University of Nanzhou. Other leaders in the city had also rushed over. At this time, Shen Lingyue, the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, also called. Knowing that Chen Xing was also on the way to the University of Nanzhou, Shen Lingyue didn't say much. The two would talk when they arrived at the scene.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Xing's face was still taut. The University of Nanzhou was a subordinate university. Although it wasn't under the jurisdiction of the local government, it was impossible for Chen Xing, as a local leader, to remain indifferent when something happened at this critical juncture. He also knew that if the matter really did get out of hand, the local cadres would also be unable to escape responsibility.
They were all learned people. What they usually did was to teach and educate people. How could they cause a student riot? He didn't know what the teachers and school leaders of the school were doing. Chen Xing's face darkened, and his tone of voice wasn't much better.
Learned people sometimes had a one-track mind. When they encountered a problem, they didn't know how to turn around, and they might make a small matter big. Lu Ming said. However, he didn't have any concrete evidence yet. He didn't know why the students were creating trouble.
Chen Xing shook his head. He always thought that no matter what happened on campus, nothing big would happen. But at this time, the University of Nanzhou made a big thing for him.
Ordering Li Yong to drive faster, Chen Xing raised his hand from time to time to look at the time. The University of Nanzhou was in the Nanming District, which was also the central city of Nanzhou City. Although it was not in the same district as the Golden Hotel, they were not too far away.
By the way, you and Tan Fang? Chen Xing thought of some of the unusual things between Lu Ming and Tan Fang and asked.
Mayor, Tan Fang is now divorced. I sympathize with her experience, and I have a good relationship with her. Lu Ming gave a hollow laugh. He deliberately emphasized the words "good" at the end. Lu Ming knew that Chen Xing should understand what he meant.
Tan Fang is a prisoner on medical parole. You are the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. You two are close now. You should pay more attention to your image. Chen Xing said indifferently. After all, Lu Ming was a man. He had his own ideas and opinions. Chen Xing knew that he couldn't directly tell Lu Ming what to do with this kind of private matter. He could only remind Lu Ming.
Mayor, don't worry. I will pay attention. Lu Ming nodded and felt a little relieved. After all, Chen Xing didn't say anything directly. As a man, Lu Ming also had his own physical needs. He was only in his forties, but he was still full of energy. His wife was in Hai City, and he was alone outside. There was always a desire that needed to be released. The seemingly weak and pitiful Tan Fang easily aroused a man's desire to protect and possess. In the process of helping Tan Fang, Lu Ming and Tan Fang got together. Moreover, because of Tan Fang's sentence, her husband divorced her, so there would be no obstacles for the two to be together in private.
After reminding Lu Ming appropriately, Chen Xing didn't say anything more. Thinking about the situation at the University of Nanzhou, Chen Xing didn't think about anything else.
When Chen Xing and Lu Ming arrived at the University of Nanzhou, it was already twenty minutes later. Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Xing was still shocked by the situation at the scene. On a main road in the school's dormitory area, a large number of students gathered. Chen Xing didn't know how many people there were. Roughly glancing, he vaguely felt that there were at least a few thousand students gathered.
The students were very emotional. They kept shouting something. After listening carefully, Chen Xing realized that the students were shouting something like severely punishing the murderer.
Why were there so many students gathered? At this time, Lu Ming also frowned tightly. He knew that this situation was very dangerous. The students often carried some blind impulses. At this time, if someone provoked them, the situation could get out of control at any time.
Chen Xing didn't say anything. He had already seen the Municipal Party Committee's Deputy Secretary Shen Lingyue. The side was full of police, but it was clear that the few hundred police officers that were temporarily mobilized were simply overstretched to deal with the current situation.
Deputy Secretary Shen, what the hell is going on? Chen Xing walked towards Shen Lingyue. Beside Shen Lingyue, Chen saw that the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the Director of the Municipal Bureau, Liao Donghua, had also arrived. They were also accompanied by the Nanming District's Party and Government leaders, including those who knew the University of Nanzhou's Principal Jiang Xueren and Vice-Principal Tang Yuanqing.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask Comrade Jiansheng about this matter. Shen Lingyue's face was expressionless. He turned his head and glanced at the Nanming District's Party Committee Secretary Geng Jiansheng. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Comrade Jiansheng, what's going on? Chen Xing looked at Geng Jiansheng.
Mayor Chen, it's not easy for me to answer this matter. Bureau Yan, I'll leave it to you. Geng Jiansheng's eyes avoided eye contact. His expression wasn't very good. He threw the question to the District Public Security Bureau's Director, Yan Shaohe.
Chen Xing was a little annoyed. At this time, these people were still kicking the ball. He looked at Yan Shaohe. Chen Xing had some impression of Yan Shaohe, the newly appointed Director of the Nanming District Public Security Bureau.
Mayor, this … it seems that someone drove a car into a student at school. Then, for some unknown reason, it caused such a big commotion among the students. The specific situation still needs to be investigated. Yan Shaohe glanced at Geng Jiansheng. His words were a little cautious. After all, he was still concerned about Geng Jiansheng's face as the District Secretary.
Such a big thing happened, and you, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, only use the word 'it seems'? Yan Shaohe, if something big happens tonight, I'll remove you as the Director first. Chen Xing was furious. He saw the abnormal expressions of Geng Jiansheng and Yan Shaohe. Chen Xing, who was already angry, flew into a rage on the spot.
Yan Shaohe's face was as red as a pig's liver. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed it back. Yan Shaohe wanted to slap himself in his heart. It was Geng Jiansheng's son who made the mess. Why would he cover up for him? Even if he could hide it from Chen Xing for a while, Chen Xing would find out later. He was giving face to Geng Jiansheng, but it was very likely that he would get himself into trouble.
Mayor Chen, the most important thing now is to disband the students. Shen Lingyue said solemnly.
I've already asked the Armed Police Detachment to send people over to support. The Municipal Bureau is also trying to transfer police forces over. Liao Donghua interrupted.
They are all students. Comrade Donghua even sent the armed police over. I don't think it's too necessary. The police can maintain order. The most important thing now is to understand the students' demands. I believe that our students are reasonable people. Chen Xing frowned slightly. He obviously didn't agree with Liao Donghua's approach.
Mayor Chen, this is also a last resort. No matter what the students' demands are, ensuring that there is no trouble first is the most important thing. The armed police was not to suppress them, but to deter them. Liao Donghua's expression was indifferent.
Chen Xing frowned. The most important thing now was to calm the situation. It was meaningless to argue with Liao Donghua. In the end, Liao Donghua's starting point was also good.
Headmaster Jiang, the teachers are the most familiar with the students. Your school should send teachers over to do ideological work for the students and let the students disperse as soon as possible. Chen Xing looked at the headmaster of the University of Nanzhou, Jiang Xueren.
Now the teachers were among the students. If it weren't for the teachers calming the students' emotions, perhaps the situation wouldn't be like this now. Mayor Chen, our teachers have done their best. Jiang Xueren's words were very direct, and there was a bit of coldness in his tone. The University of Nanzhou was a deployed university, directly under the management of the Ministry of Education. As the headmaster, his administrative rank was also a deputy minister, higher than Chen Xing's. He didn't need to be too afraid of these city leaders. Jiang Xueren was very clear about the reason for tonight's incident. He was also a bit angry, especially when Geng Jiansheng was still present. Jiang Xueren's face was tense. If it weren't for the fact that he only had the rank of a deputy minister without any real power, he could only manage the school's affairs. He had no right to speak in local affairs. Jiang Xueren wished he could let the Public Security Bureau directly arrest the people, but unfortunately, he didn't have that power.
Chen Xing looked at Jiang Xueren thoughtfully. He didn't care about Jiang Xueren's tone. People who did academics always had a bit of pride. However, the other people who arrived earlier seemed to be avoiding something, which made him feel more and more strange.
Lu Ming followed beside Chen Xing. Seeing this situation, he quietly walked away. As an executive deputy director, he was suppressed by Liao Donghua, but he still had a few confidants. It wasn't difficult to find someone to understand the situation.
Let's go, let's go take a look among the students. Chen Xing said.
Mayor Chen, I don't think this is a bit appropriate. The students are now in a bad mood. It's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything extreme. We don't have enough police officers on the scene. I don't recommend you go among the students now. Liao Donghua said.
Comrade Donghua, these students are the pillars of our country. They are the pride of the Son of Heaven. I believe that even if they are a bit impulsive, they are still rational. As a cadre, if I don't even have the courage to go among the students, then I think it would be a kind of sorrow. Chen Xing glanced at Liao Donghua with a solemn expression.
Liao Donghua pursed his lips, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to see Chen Xing, the mayor, get into an accident and he, the head of the political and legal department, also get criticized, he wouldn't bother to care about Chen Xing's life. At this time, he kindly advised Chen Xing, but was rebutted by Chen Xing. Liao Donghua felt a little embarrassed.
If Mayor Chen is willing to go among the students, then I, the principal, am also willing to go. I don't think the students will beat me, the principal, up. At this time, Jiang Xueren smiled slightly.
