It was already half an hour later when Chen Xing left the teahouse. Lu Ming, with two plainclothes policemen, had been lingering at the entrance of the teahouse. When he saw Chen Xing coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted him. "Mayor, are you all right?"
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"It's good that you're all right." Lu Ming smiled and waved his two policemen to leave first. Lu Ming got into Chen Xing's car.
"Mayor, who's the person who asked you out?" After the car started, Lu Ming asked curiously.
"Geng Jiansheng." Chen Xing smiled.
"Geng Jiansheng?" Lu Ming was stunned. "Isn't he the dismissed Nanming District Party Committee Secretary?" "What does he want with you?" "Does he want to be reinstated?"
"No, he wants to take revenge on me." Chen Xing smiled slightly. "He wants to take revenge on Deng Yi."
"Take revenge on Deng Yi?" Lu Ming's eyes widened and he was really shocked. "Is Geng Jiansheng's brain fried?" "Deng Yi is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. How can he, a person who has been dismissed, want to take revenge on Deng Yi?"
"Nothing is impossible. If he dares to have this kind of idea, he naturally has some things in his hands. He has something on Deng Yi's son, Deng Wenhua." Chen Xing smiled. "He wants to make a deal with me."
"Oh, I see. I said he doesn't want to live anymore. In his current situation, he still wants to take revenge on Deng Yi. It's simply a fool's talk. It turns out that he has something on him." Lu Ming smiled. "Deng Wenhua looks like an idiot. Now that he has something on him, his father will be killed sooner or later."
Deng Wenhua was not necessarily an idiot. He was just a little too black-hearted. A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. He also did not look like someone who was short of money, but he just had to take advantage of things that he should not have. Chen Xing remembered the information that Geng Jiansheng had shown him. The three floors of Deng Wenhua's clubhouse were worth 20 to 30 million yuan. Deng Wenhua had taken it by force and deception. It was not a big deal to have the guts to forcibly occupy other people's property, but the key was that you had eaten everything. Deng Wenhua's table manners were ugly, but he had left something that could be used against him.
Mayor, did you promise Geng Jiansheng? Lu Ming asked curiously.
"Not yet. If I agree so easily now, won't it make him think that I really want to cooperate with him? At that time, it will be difficult to bargain. He wants to trade with me, so his conditions must not be simple. Now it depends on who has the upper hand. I guess he still has some things that he has not taken out. At that time, we will see who can't hold back first." Chen Xing smiled slightly. He was not in a hurry at all. So when Geng Jiansheng did not take out anything else that interested him, Chen Xing simply said goodbye.
In the teahouse, Geng Jiansheng was still sitting in the private room. After the middle-aged beautiful woman sent Ye Tian away, she closed the door of the teahouse and walked into the private room eagerly. "Jiansheng, how was it? How was the discussion with Mayor Chen?
Nothing much. I think that Chen Xing is also a person who eats people without spitting out the bones. " Geng Jiansheng's face was sullen, and he was very annoyed.
"He can become the mayor at this age, so he must not be simple. But if you can't reach an agreement with him, what should we do?" The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Geng Jiansheng with some worry. "Does Secretary Ge not care about you?"
"It's not that he doesn't care about me. How should I put it? Although he did not show up and did not say anything, in fact, it can be said that he is protecting me. If Deng Yi does not care about him, it will not be as simple as removing me from my position. Moreover, the people from the Municipal Party Committee have come to talk to me in private. They said that after this period of time, they will let me go to the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference to be the Vice Chairman." Geng Jiansheng sneered. "Deng Yi wants to be a whore and also wants to be a chastity. On the one hand, he wants to step on me, and on the other hand, he wants to show mercy to me. Hmph, Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference?" "Who the hell cares about that?"
"The Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference is at least a deputy office. No matter what, it is better than getting nothing. Why don't we just give up and live the next days well? Don't provoke him." The middle-aged beautiful woman tried to persuade Geng Jiansheng.
"Without power, what's the use of being a deputy office? The Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference has seven or eight Vice Chairmen, and all of them are just nominal titles. In this day and age, any entrepreneur with a little bit of fame can be a Vice Chairman in the CPPCC. To put it bluntly, it is a position that can be obtained with money. Do you think it is meaningful? If I go to the CPPCC, it is equivalent to going to retirement in advance." Geng Jiansheng's face darkened. "Anyway, I can't take this lying down. I have never offended him, and he has done this to me. I can't accept it."
"Then why don't you look for Secretary Ge? You are promoted by him. Isn't it more useful to look for him than Chen Xing?" The middle-aged beautiful woman was puzzled.
"Secretary Ge and Deng Yi are both Fu Youjun's people. Even if they have conflicts, they will not openly fall out. Even if they fight, they will compromise in the end. It is useless for me to look for him." Geng Jiansheng shook his head and looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman beside him. He sighed. "You have been with me for more than ten years, but I have not let you live a dignified life."
"What are you talking about? What's the use of being dignified? I just want to live a peaceful life. Moreover, now that you have been dismissed, we don't have to worry so much about our marriage. To be honest, I am actually a little happy." The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Geng Jiansheng and said.
"Don't worry. I should have given you a status long ago. After we get our marriage certificate, we will invite a few friends and relatives and have a banquet or two. That will be considered as our marriage. What do you think?" Geng Jiansheng reached out and took the middle-aged beautiful woman into his arms. His wife had passed away five or six years ago, and he had always been alone. The middle-aged beautiful woman used to be his lover, and Geng Jiansheng also had feelings for her. After his wife passed away, he also wanted to live with her, but due to various reasons, it had been delayed. In his heart, Geng Jiansheng also wanted to give her a status.
"It doesn't matter whether the banquet is held or not. I will be satisfied with a status." A satisfied smile appeared on the beautiful middle-aged woman's face. After enduring for more than ten years, she had finally made it. By following Geng Jiansheng, she had everything she wanted. Now, all she wanted was to be able to openly live a down-to-earth life with him.
"I know you have been wronged these years, and I have treated you badly." Geng Jiansheng patted the middle-aged beautiful woman's shoulder and sighed.
The two of them quietly leaned against each other. From time to time, a trace of coldness flashed across Geng Jiansheng's eyes. He would not give up easily.
…
The sun rose in the east and set in the west. Day after day passed quietly. As Xiao Yuanqing took office in Shiping City, the Municipal Government Office also changed to a new office director. The director of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, Zeng Ping, was transferred to the office director. Chen Xing's ruling idea of creating an ecological Nanzhou had become increasingly clear, and the whole city gradually realized that Chen Xing might start to take action.
Zeng Ping was nearly fifty years old, much older than Xiao Yuanqing. As the director of the Municipal Government Office, Zeng Ping appeared to be in high spirits.
"Mayor, are you still going to Xiaoshiping today?" Asked Zeng Ping as he walked in after Chen Xing finished meeting a guest. Xiaoshiping was a community in the urban-rural fringe of Nanzhou City. It had always been the place with the most polluting enterprises in Nanzhou City. Chen Xing mentioned going there yesterday, but it was not arranged in the official itinerary. Zeng Ping understood what Chen Xing meant. Chen Xing wanted to visit in private.
"Go, why not?" Chen Xing looked at the time and smiled. The reception time was a quarter of an hour longer than expected. Zeng Ping probably thought he was not going.
"Go and ask Li Yong to prepare the car. Just the few of us will be enough." Chen Xing looked up and ordered Zeng Ping.
"Okay, I'll go now." Zeng Ping nodded.
At around ten o 'clock, Chen Xing took his secretaries Huang Jianghua and Zeng Ping, plus a driver, Li Yong. The four of them arrived at Xiaoshiping. This trip was considered a private visit by Chen Xing. He did not inform the district government, nor did he inform the relevant street cadres.
Xiaoshiping was located in the Quannan District of Nanzhou City. It was next to Nanming District and Haiming District in the city center. When Chen Xing served as the mayor of Nanzhou for nearly a year, he finally started to rectify this area with the most polluting enterprises and the most serious pollution.
Zeng Ping was very familiar with this area. During his tenure as the director of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, he received many complaints from the villagers around Xiaoshiping. Because the complaints to the District Environmental Protection Bureau were not effective, some villagers complained to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. However, Zeng Ping, the director of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, could do nothing about it. The enterprises here basically stopped production symbolically when the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau came. Once the people left, they started production again. Some of the more solid backgrounds did not even care about the people from the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau.
The inaction of the district and the ineffective enforcement of the district environmental protection bureau made it impossible for the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to directly intervene here.
"Mayor, the economy of Quannan District is relatively poor. If we directly rectify Xiaoshiping, many enterprises will be shut down. I'm afraid the district will be angry." In the car, Zeng Ping held a list of enterprises in Xiaoshiping and said to Chen Xing.
"No matter how angry they are, it's not up to them. Of course, we can't completely ignore the feelings of the district. Today, we are going to find out the bottom line." Chen Xing said.
Zeng Ping nodded. He knew what Chen Xing said made sense.
After passing Xiangshi Village, there was Xiaoshiping in front. Zeng Ping had been here several times. He was responsible for showing Li Yong the way. When they were about to reach Xiaoshiping, Zeng Ping said with a smile.
"This Xiangshi Village looks good. The villagers seem to be quite rich?" Turning his head and looking outside, Chen Xing found that almost every household was a three-story brick building, and there was no lack of houses built up to five or six stories high.
Fortunately, Xiangshi Village produced granite, and there were many stone factories. Many villagers relied on this to become rich. Zeng Ping said with a smile.
"Oh." Understanding dawned on Chen Xing, and then he laughed. "There is a treasure in the mountain, and the whole village is full."
"Mayor, what you said is appropriate." Zeng Ping echoed with a smile.
The car drove along the road. When passing the entrance of the village, Chen Xing, who had been looking out of the window, was stunned. "What's going on in front?"
