On the flight to the capital, Chen Xing was flipping through the application materials for the Nanzhou City subway project. This was the latest and complete information. Every time he returned to the capital, Chen Xing would also do this. The previous application materials had been submitted for several months. Chen Xing did not expect the subway project to be approved in a short time, but it was undoubtedly necessary to run errands from time to time. If the application materials were ignored after they were submitted, then perhaps there was even less hope for it to be approved.
That Director Wang Weilin has been transferred away. Now it is really inconvenient for us to do things. Chen Xing turned his head and spoke to the executive deputy mayor, Shao Huadong. Shao Huadong was going to the capital to attend a meeting, and the two of them happened to be traveling together.
I don't think this subway project will be approved in one or two years. Shao Huadong shook his head and smiled.
If it can be approved in one or two years, we should also feel lucky. Chen Xing smiled and raised his hand to look at the time. In more than half an hour, it was almost time to arrive in the capital. Thinking that his brother-in-law, Zhang Ming, was still in Nanzhou. He was originally going to return to the capital with him, but in the end, he changed his mind at the last minute. Chen Xing muttered in his heart that Li Xiaoying's charm was not ordinary, to be able to make Zhang Ming infatuated.
On the plane, he chatted with Shao Huadong from time to time. Time passed quickly. When they arrived in the capital, it was not yet twelve o 'clock. Both of them got on the car from the Nanzhou Garrison Office to pick them up. Shao Huadong ate at the Garrison Office at noon and took a lunch break, while Chen Xing went straight home.
His wife, Zhang Ningning, had just finished her confinement. His mother, Zou Fang, applied for a month or two of personal leave from work to take care of her daughter-in-law in the capital. Because of Chen Xing's identity, the Haicheng Forestry Bureau approved his mother's leave very quickly. The director of the Forestry Bureau, Deng Fang, also asked Zou Fang to remember to bring his greetings to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing thought about going to Jiangdu to attend the funeral of Zeng Jing's husband, Jiang Yi, in two days. At that time, he should return to Haicheng to have a look. At the end of the year, he basically only had the opportunity to go back during the New Year, and there were not many opportunities.
Chen Xing, did you see that? This little guy is becoming more and more like you. As soon as Chen Xing came back, Zou Fang was holding her grandson and changing his diaper. Seeing her son coming back, she was full of smiles.
His eyebrows and eyes were more like Ningning's, but they were more like his mother's. Who knew how many women would fall for him in the future? He was not afraid of not being able to get a wife. Chen Xing laughed, put down the briefcase in his hand, and immediately went forward to hug his son happily.
Go away, you're so careless, you haven't even changed your diaper yet. Zou Fang scolded jokingly.
At this time, Zhang Ningning also walked out of the bedroom. When she saw her husband, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. Chen Xing, you're back.
Chen Xing turned to look at his wife. Seeing her in a formal suit, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "Why are you working so soon?
There were a lot of things to do at the company and the foundation, and he could not afford to rest anymore. Furthermore, once he rested for too long, he would become lazy. Zhang Ningning smiled.
"Chen Xing, since you're both here, I'll discuss with you. I plan to retire early and help you take care of the child in the capital. Otherwise, I don't think it's good to hire a nanny to take care of the child now that I'm working in Ningning. No matter how attentive the nanny is, it's not as good as taking care of the child myself." Zou Fang said to Zhang Ningning and Chen Xing. Her leave was about to expire. When she returned to Hai City, there was no doubt that who would take care of the child would become a problem. Zhang Ningning's idea was to hire a nanny to take care of the child. His mother, Zeng Yun, could also come over from time to time to help take care of the child. However, Zou Fang was reluctant to let such a precious grandson be taken care of by a nanny.
"Mom, you don't have to do this. You still have two or three years before you retire." Zhang Ningning said.
"Only those who are cadres are reluctant to retire. It doesn't matter to people like me who sit idle in the office. It's okay to retire early." Zou Fang smiled. Previously, the bureau wanted to promote her to the position of deputy director, but Zou Fang didn't agree. She knew that if she accepted it, people would criticize her son. Anyway, she was in her fifties and her son was promising. As a woman, she didn't have to be greedy. Zou Fang didn't care about promotion at all.
"I think it's okay." After thinking for a while, Chen Xing nodded and said. He could understand his mother's idea.
"Then it's settled. I'll call Director Deng later. He won't dare to have any objections." Zou Fang smiled. The more she looked at her grandson, the happier she was.
"Mom, let me carry you." Chen Xing rubbed his hands and stepped forward with a smile.
"Be careful. Don't fall. Look at your clumsy hands. I don't know if you can carry a child." Zou Fang glanced at her son and warned him carefully.
"Ningning, do you see? Mom has grandchildren now, but I don't have a son." Chen Xing said with a smile.
Hearing that, Zhang Ningning also smiled. She moved closer to her husband and looked at her precious son. Zhang Ningning's eyes were full of tenderness.
"You two look after the child first. I'll go cook." Zou Fang said with a smile.
…
Nanzhou, Quannan District, Lin Sanming's office. Chang Wanjin, the boss of Jiuye Paper Mill, came to Lin Sanming's office. The paper mill had received the notice of rectification. Chang Wanjin also inquired about it. Not only his mill, but other factories had also received the notice. He didn't know if the district was serious this time. He came to Lin Sanming's office to sound out the situation.
"Mr. Chang, this time Mayor Chen is serious. You must rectify it." Lin Sanming invited Chang Wanjin to sit down. He didn't have any subjective prejudice against Chang Wanjin. Even for these factories that could bring a lot of financial revenue to the district, Lin Sanming was eager to cover for them. But the premise was that it wouldn't affect him. Now that Chen Xing had his eyes on Little Rock Flat, Lin Sanming didn't dare to act rashly. Chen Xing was obviously different from the previous municipal leaders. It was impossible for him to just go through the motions. Since Chen Xing took office, the city had invested a lot of money in environmental improvement and issued relevant documents every few days. Lin Sanming thought that Chen Xing wouldn't be so easy to fool. He didn't want to let Chen Xing have any opinions about this matter.
"Mayor, if we rectify it, it will affect the production. The factory now has a backlog of orders. If we can't finish them on time, the factory will have to pay compensation. The factory is already in trouble. If we rectify it, we will have to close down. Mayor, you can't let the factory close down, can you?" Chang Wanjin complained.
"Manager Chang, don't talk to me about this. I've been in the district for so many years. Do you really think I don't know your situation?" Lin Sanming curled his lips. "If I had a choice, I wouldn't have made trouble for you. All of you have contributed to the district. How could the district kill you after you've outlived your usefulness? But now that Mayor Chen has given the order, the district can only carry it out. Fortunately, Mayor Chen is considerate of you. He gave you a month. I think one month is enough for you to rectify it.
"Mayor, the problem is that the factory is really in trouble. With the scale of our factory, it will cost tens of millions to replace the environmental protection equipment. The factory really doesn't have the funds. The district should understand our difficulties." Chang Wanjin looked helpless.
"Manager Chang, do you really not have the funds?" Lin Sanming looked at Manager Chang with a faint smile. "How about I ask the district tax bureau to help you check the accounts?"
"Mayor, no need, no need." Chang Wanjin laughed dryly. "Mayor, I think I'd better not disturb your work. I'll visit you another day."
Chang Wanjin smiled at Lin Sanming, then stood up and left.
Lin Sanming watched Chang Wanjin leave and shook his head. These factory owners only knew how to complain about being poor. Asking them to fork out money was like cutting their flesh. Not to mention other factories, Jiuye Paper Mill was a big taxpayer in the district. He knew quite a bit about it. It could pay nearly 20 million in taxes every year, and the company's annual net profit was at least 100 million. He didn't believe that Chang Wanjin couldn't fork out the money. It was just a matter of whether he was willing or not.
After Chang Wanjin left, Lin Sanming was about to walk back to his desk. From the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see something under the coffee table. Lin Sanming was surprised. He walked over and saw that there was an envelope under the coffee table. Lin Sanming picked it up and looked at it. He frowned slightly and poured out a bank card. On the white slip behind the card, there was a string of numbers. Lin Sanming didn't need to think to know that it must be the password of the card.
Lin Sanming shoved the card back into the envelope, snorted, and called his secretary in. "Xiao Li, Mr. Chang hasn't gone far yet. Take this back to him and tell him to behave himself."
Before Chang Wanjin got into the car, Lin Sanming's secretary caught up to him. The envelope containing the bank card was returned to him by Lin Sanming's secretary.
Chief Chang, the District Mayor has a message for you. Take care of yourself.
Chang Wanjin stared blankly as Lin Sanming's secretary left. After a while, he spat on the ground and cursed inwardly. Not a single one of these officials could be relied on. At critical moments, they flipped their faces faster than flipping the page of a book.
Chief Chang, are we going back to the factory? The driver asked after they got into the car.
To the city. Chang Wanjin's face turned ugly. To replace the environmental protection equipment, he would need to invest tens of millions. Coupled with the cost of the environmental protection equipment, the cost would increase by a lot. Chang Wanjin was not willing to invest this money.
Chang Wanjin had been to the Blue River Club in the city several times. He was a gold member. He heard that it was opened by Deng Wenhua, the son of the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, Deng Yi. Chang Wanjin went to the club as soon as it opened. He even became one of the first members and paid a large amount of membership fee to become a gold member. He believed that it would come in handy one day. Even if he didn't use it, it was worth it to make some connections in the club.
At present, he couldn't count on the people in the district. Chang Wanjin planned to find Deng Wenhua. As long as he was a gold member, he would have the opportunity to contact Deng Wenhua. Chang Wanjin had met him twice. He didn't believe that Deng Wenhua couldn't handle this matter. Especially when his father had been transferred to the Secretary of the Nanzhou Municipal Party Committee. What was Chen Xing? Weighing the bank card in his hand, Chang Wanjin knew that if he gave the one million in it to Deng Wenhua, he would think that it was too little. He would have to pay more.
After arriving in the city, Chang Wanjin first went to the bank, then went straight to the Blue River Club. After all, Chang Wanjin was a gold member who had paid over a million RMB, so he had Deng Wenhua's phone number. After arriving at the club, Deng Wenhua wasn't there, so Chang Wanjin directly called him and waited at the club.
After about half an hour, Deng Wenhua came over leisurely. He walked into the room and glanced at Chang Wanjin. Deng Wenhua raised his head slightly. The arrogance in his bones couldn't be more obvious.
Young Master Deng, you still remember me, right? Chang Wanjin stood up and said with a flattering smile.
How could I not remember you? Our club has become what it is today because of your support. Deng Wenhua smiled calmly. What's wrong? What do you want from me?
Young Master Deng, it's like this. The day before yesterday, Mayor Chen … Chang Wanjin roughly told me about the situation of my paper mill.
Well, your factory's pollutant discharge didn't meet the standard, so the city asked you to rectify it. Isn't this a normal thing? Deng Wenhua crossed his legs and glanced at Chang Wanjin.
Young Master Deng, you know that if we follow the standard set by the country, the investment will not be a small amount. Chang Wanjin smiled and took out a bank card from his pocket. Young Master Deng, this is a small token of my appreciation.
"President Chang, what are you doing? You are a member of our club. If something really happens, I will help you. When you joined the club, I said that as long as you become a member of the club, we will be a family in the future and help each other. What are you doing? Why are you being so polite to me?" Chang Qianqian asked. Deng Wenhua glanced at the bank card out of the corner of his eye, and the smile on his face became much brighter.
Young Master Deng, this is not polite. It's just a token of my appreciation for you. Please accept it. Chang Wanjin saw Deng Wenhua's expression and knew that Deng Wenhua would probably accept the money. He was not afraid that Deng Wenhua would accept the money, but he was afraid that Deng Wenhua would not accept it.
Deng Wenhua grinned and said polite words again. He glanced at the bank card. Only a bastard would not accept the money.
…
At night, it was a little cold in the capital. Chen Xing, who did not go out at night, stayed with his wife and child. He would stay in the capital for two or three days, and then he would go back to Jianghai Province to attend Jiang Yi's funeral. In the capital, Chen Xing did not like to go out very much. He wanted to spend more time with his wife and child.
He named his son Chengye. Chen Xing hoped that his son would get married and become an ordinary person in the future.
Before nine o 'clock, the child had already fallen asleep after drinking milk. His tender little face was very lovable. Lying quietly in the cradle, he did not cry and fell asleep quietly.
Mom said that little Chengye is much easier to take care of than when you were a child. She said that you were too naughty and cried all day, so she and dad often accompanied you in the middle of the night and were often listless during the day. Zhang Ningning looked at his son's lovely sleeping face and turned to Chen Xing with a smile.
Really? Chen Xing was stunned. He had never heard his mother say this.
Why would I lie to you? Mom said that. I didn't lie to you. She said that little Chengye is much better than you. Zhang Ningning covered her mouth and laughed. Because their son was sleeping, they did not dare to talk too loudly.
I didn't say that you lied to me. This shows that my baby son is better than his father and will definitely be better than his father in the future. Chen Xing smiled.
Didn't you say that you hoped your son would be ordinary in the future? Zhang Ningning looked at Chen Xing.
Yes, but the child's future development is not decided by us. It depends on him. We just play a guiding role. Chen Xing smiled and reached out to hold Zhang Ningning's waist. Zhang Ningning, who had recovered her figure after childbirth, still had no fat on her waist. The perfect curve was no different from before she was pregnant. Chen Xing wondered how his wife could recover so well. She was not a person who liked to exercise.
…
Nanhai Province, Wangnan Expressway. This was the expressway from Wangshan City in Nanhai Province to the provincial capital, Nanzhou. Wangshan City was the westernmost prefecture-level city in Nanhai Province and also the most economically backward city in Nanhai Province. Over the years, its GDP ranking was at the bottom of the 12 prefecture-level cities in Nanhai Province.
At this moment, a black Honda sedan from the Wangshan City Commission for Discipline Inspection was speeding on the Wangnan Expressway. In the car, Li Yanpei, the secretary of the Wangshan City Commission for Discipline Inspection, looked solemn. He held a document tightly in his hand.
Xiao Jiang, how long will it take to get to Nanzhou? Li Yanpei raised his hand to look at the time from time to time. It was nearly ten o 'clock in the evening. Li Yanpei was eager to get to Nanzhou as soon as possible. He had already called Ge Jian-ming, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but because of the importance of the matter, Li Yanpei didn't say much on the phone. He had to report to Ge Jian-ming in person. At this time, Ge Jian-ming was also waiting for him at home.
Secretary, we haven't left Wangshan Expressway yet. It will take at least two hours to get to Nanzhou. Xiao Jiang said.
Why is it so slow? I feel like I've been walking for a long time. Li Yanpei frowned.
Secretary, maybe it's because you're in a hurry and want to get there early, so you feel that time is passing very slowly. Xiao Jiang laughed.
Li Yanpei nodded helplessly. He was indeed a little anxious.
Try to drive as fast as possible. Secretary Ge is still waiting. It will be twelve o 'clock when we get to Nanzhou. Li Yanpei urged.
Secretary, I'm already driving at more than 120 kilometers per hour. Xiao Jiang smiled bitterly, but he still stepped on the accelerator as Li Yanpei ordered.
While the two of them were talking, Xiao Jiang suddenly exclaimed. At the rest stop on the highway in front of them, a car suddenly jumped out without any warning and took up two lanes. When Xiao Jiang stepped on the accelerator, because the car was moving too fast, it had already crashed into the car. Accompanied by a loud bang, Xiao Jiang's mind was already blank.
Li Yanpei, who was in the back seat, fell forward with the inertia of the car and lost consciousness in an instant.
Close to twelve o 'clock, Ge Jian-ming was watching the night news on CCTV at home. Occasionally, he looked up at the alarm clock on the wall. Ge Jian-ming looked a little annoyed. What time was it? He didn't know what Li Yanpei was doing. Couldn't he explain things clearly on the phone? Why did he have to come so late?
Usually, Ge Jian-ming should be asleep at this time, but he had to wait for Li Yanpei to come over tonight.
Jian-Ming, why aren't you sleeping? Ge Jian-ming's wife came out of the bedroom.
Someone will come later. You go to bed first. I have to be late. Ge Jian-ming waved his hand.
It was so late. Why didn't his subordinates report during the day? Ge Jian-ming's wife nagged and returned to the bedroom.
Seeing that it was already midnight on the TV, Ge Jian-ming frowned. When Li Yanpei called him, he said that he had already set off. He should have arrived by now. Why wasn't he here yet?
The harsh phone rang. Ge Jian-ming looked a little relieved. It should be Li Yanpei. If it wasn't something urgent, he would have scolded the other party later. Making him, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, wait in the middle of the night. Was he trying to make fun of him?
Secretary, there was news from Wangshan City. Li Yanpei had a car accident on the highway and is now in the hospital. He is in critical condition. The phone call was from Ge Jian-ming's secretary, Xu Wei.
What did you say? Ge Jian-ming suddenly stood up. Where did the car accident happen? Where is he being rescued now?
The car had a car accident when it was about to leave the highway section of Wangshan City. Now he is being rescued in the First Hospital of Wangshan City. Xu Wei reported.
How could this be? Ge Jian-ming muttered to himself.
Xu, tell Wangshan City that they must do their best to rescue him. Also, prepare the car immediately. I'm going to Wangshan City. Ge Jian-ming quickly ordered.
