At the intersection of the Wangnan Expressway, Chen Xing led the relevant leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to welcome Zheng Jue and her party. Chen Xing personally came to greet them, accompanied by Wu Ning, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Bin, the Deputy Mayor in charge of investment promotion, Xu Lizhu, the Director of the Investment Promotion Agency, and other relevant leaders and department heads.
Chen Xing looked at the time from time to time. They had arrived at about the same time, and Zheng Jue and her party should be arriving at Mount Gaze soon.
Xu Lizhu stood beside Xu Bin and looked at Chen Xing from time to time. The new Secretary Chen had used practical actions to show the importance he attached to the work of attracting investment from the moment he took office. He had also used his connections when he was the mayor of Nanzhou to invite many large enterprises in Nanzhou to investigate and invest. The notebook in her hand had recorded a list of many enterprises that were about to come to Mount Gaze for investigation, including Meiyuan Company, a leading enterprise in the provincial food industry that Chen Xing had personally invited. It was also on the schedule for the investigation. Lv Yuanzhi, the president of the Nanzhou General Chamber of Commerce, whom Xu Lizhu had heard of before, had also set a date for the investigation. Although Lv Yuanzhi's textile company was not ranked among the many large enterprises in Nanzhou, he had a wide range of friends and had extensive connections in the business world. Xu Lizhu had long heard of his name.
The following days would be a very busy period for Xu Lizhu, the Director of the Investment Promotion Agency. The continuous visits of large enterprises would make the Investment Promotion Agency very busy. However, Xu Lizhu liked this kind of busy and exciting time. This sense of accomplishment in work was very pleasant.
Xu Lizhu glanced at Chen Xing. She knew that Chen Xing, the Secretary, didn't need to come personally. Entrusting Xu Qiancheng, the Deputy Mayor in charge of investment promotion, was enough to show the importance and respect of the enterprise. However, Chen Xing came in person. Xu Lizhu secretly thought that this might have something to do with the importance Chen Xing attached to investment promotion, or the Four Leaf Clover Group was personally invited by Chen Xing.
It was almost twelve o 'clock. They should be arriving soon. Wu Ning stood beside Chen Xing. When he saw Chen Xing look at the time again, he could not help but ask.
They should be arriving soon. Chen Xing nodded with a smile and said, "It's really far from the provincial capital to Mountain Gaze."
"Secretary, I heard that the province will take Nanzhou as the center and improve the layout of the province's traffic on the basis of the existing highways. I don't know when this matter will be implemented. If the newly planned cross-regional highways are all built, the distance between Mountain Gaze and Nanzhou should be shortened in the future. Wu Ning said.
He wasn't sure about that, but the plan was out, and the construction would start soon. Chen Xing smiled.
As the two of them spoke, Xu Lizhu, who was at the side, saw a convoy coming over from afar. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Have we arrived?"
Hearing this, Chen Xing looked over and soon saw a motorcade coming. In the blink of an eye, the motorcade approached. Seeing the license plate of Nanzhou, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Maybe it's them."
While they were talking, three cars approached from afar and stopped in front of Chen Xing and the others. Zheng Jue was the first to get out of the car. Seeing Chen Xing, Zheng Jue came forward with a smile. "I'm really flattered that Secretary Chen came to greet us personally."
"Chief Zheng, you're too polite. You've come from afar. As the host, how can I not do my best as a host?" Chen Xing smiled and shook hands with Zheng Jue. "Chief Zheng, when we arrived at Mountain Gaze, did you feel refreshed as soon as you got out of the car?"
The air in Mountain Gaze was indeed much better than in Nanzhou. Zheng Jue nodded with a smile.
While Chen Xing and Zheng Jue were talking, the people in Mountain Gaze all looked at Zheng Jue. From the way Chen Xing addressed her, was she the boss of the Four Leaf Clover Group?
Xu Lizhu secretly looked at Zheng Jue and thought to herself, "This woman is really beautiful. As a woman, even I feel a rush of excitement when I see her. Is this the reason why Chen Xing really came to greet us?" Xu Lizhu's thoughts ran wild.
After Chen Xing and Zheng Jue exchanged greetings for a while, it was already late. Chen Xing proposed to get in the car and go back to the city for lunch first. The group didn't waste much time. After getting in the car, they returned to the city.
At noon, a banquet was set up at the Municipal Party Committee's guest house to entertain Zheng Jue and the others. The banquet was organized by the General Office. Recently, the city had just issued the three thrifty orders, prohibiting any extravagance and waste. Wei Sida didn't dare to hold the banquet in the Xincheng Hotel according to the past practice. Instead, it was directly held in the Municipal Party Committee's guest house. Seeing Chen Xing's satisfied expression, Wei Sida also knew that this was in line with Chen Xing's wishes.
Seeing the Xincheng Hotel not far away, Wei Sida curled his lips. He had unknowingly received a lot of benefits from Qian Xinlai. He wanted to hold the banquet there, but unfortunately, as the director, he was just an errand boy. If Chen Xing wanted to fart, he had to do it.
At the noon banquet, Mayor Li Kaishan also rushed over to attend. The leaders of the Mountain Wangshan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government all came. Zheng Jue's face was full of smiles. Chen Xing's reception for her was not low.
In the Xincheng Hotel, the city's thrifty order had just come out, but compared with usual, the business here had not been affected much. The entrance of the hotel was still crowded. Most of the vehicles going in and out were still government vehicles with government license plates. Without the support of the city's public funds, the business of this most high-end five-star hotel in Mountain Wangshan would be reduced by at least half.
Zhang Lixing didn't go to the Municipal Party Committee's guest house to join in the fun. Chen Xing and Li Kaishan were there. As the executive deputy mayor, it didn't matter whether he went or not. Moreover, it was a company invited by Chen Xing. Zhang Lixing felt that it made no difference whether he went or not.
Instead of going to the guest house, Zhang Lixing was invited by Qian Xinlai and went to the Xincheng Hotel. In addition to him, Huang Youliang, the deputy mayor and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was also in the box.
It was already past twelve o 'clock. The three of them had already eaten and drank to their heart's content. Huang Youliang took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Lixing, then lit it himself. A cigarette after a meal was better than a living immortal. Sitting in a chair and puffing out smoke, Huang Youliang narrowed his eyes slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Lixing stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. The Municipal Party Committee's guest house was within sight. Qian Xinlai was also standing side by side with Zhang Lixing. He knew that the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee not far away was very lively at this time.
Both of them had drunk some wine just now. Qian Xinlai smiled slightly. Mayor Zhang, what kind of lousy rules did the city just come out? Didn't they say that no one could drink at noon on working days? As a leader, you took the lead in drinking.
Rules were made by people, and naturally, they could also be broken by people. Do you think it is necessary for people who are qualified to participate in making these rules to abide by these rules? Zhang Lixing smiled and didn't take Qian Xinlai's teasing seriously. In Wangshan City, it was estimated that Qian Xinlai dared to tease him. Neither of them was strong. It was just a cooperative relationship of interests. They were on the same line.
Mr. Qian, do you think there are fewer people eating and drinking in your hotel? If there are, what does it mean? Huang Youliang interrupted with a smile.
This guy surnamed Chen has just arrived, and he has already made this rule. Hey, when I look back, he will find that he is slapping himself in the face. Qian Xinlai curled his lips disdainfully. Except for some reception banquets in the city, they were not held in the Xincheng Hotel anymore. For example, today's banquet for the Four Leaf Clover Group, who had come for an investment inspection, had been held in the Municipal Party Committee's guest house. In the past, it was held in the Xincheng Hotel. Qian Xinlai had to admit that it had some impact, but it was only a small impact. It was not enough to hurt the hotel.
It was wishful thinking to hope that he could squeeze some money out of this public expenditure. Zhang Lixing raised his eyebrows. He almost thought about the old city reconstruction project. Fortunately, he had just arrived and didn't have that ability. Otherwise, he would really be f * cked.
If he dared to touch this old city reconstruction project, he would leave the Mountain Gaze in disgrace. Qian Xinlai snorted. He had cooperated with the Municipal Government for this old city reconstruction project. He had borrowed seven or eight billion yuan from the bank through mortgage loans for this project with the Municipal Government. If this project was cut off, it would be a fatal blow to him.
Mr. Qian, didn't you say last time that you wanted to take down this Chen Xing? Why didn't you do anything? Zhang Lixing said with a smile.
He was looking for candidates. This young man was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee at such a young age. He must have very high standards. If he wanted to use a honey trap on him, he couldn't just find a random person. He had to choose carefully. Qian Xinlai said with a smile.
As the two of them were talking, Zhang Lixing turned his head and saw that Huang Youliang was in a daze. He couldn't help but say, "There is food. Chen Xing has asked for 200 million yuan of financial subsidies from the province. Many departments are waiting for a share of this money. The Municipal Public Security Bureau is a big bureau and lacks funds very much. You have to report to the city as soon as possible."
Huang Youliang was stunned when he heard this, but he soon understood what Zhang Lixing meant. He chuckled and thought, "That's true. I have to ask my subordinates to report it quickly. The funding gap is not small."
"I don't know how long the 200 million yuan that Chen Xing has asked for can last." Zhang Lixing said with a sinister smile.
"Anyway, there is no department that is not short of money now. The districts and counties are also crying for money. If I don't hurry up, I don't think I can get anything." Huang Youliang grinned.
"That's right. 200 million yuan is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. The Municipal Public Security Bureau shoulders the responsibility of social security, so it can't be short of funds." Zhang Lixing was full of smiles. Chen Xing would know how troublesome money was in the future.
Listening to Zhang Lixing and Huang Youliang's words, Qian Xinlai secretly cursed that these officials were really not good people. All of them were experts in plotting against people behind their backs. Cooperating with Zhang Lixing and his gang was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. Fortunately, he had been secretly holding something on them. If he was stupid enough to think that Zhang Lixing and his gang could make friends, sooner or later, he would be betrayed by them and still count the money.
"Director Huang, it's almost time for your son to come out for his internship. Is he coming back to Mountain Gaze or … "Qian Xinlai suddenly laughed.
"I don't know what that little brat is thinking all day long, but now he says he wants to study abroad. I'm having a headache about this." Huang Youliang said with a smile. He was thinking about his son just now. It was not difficult for him to send his son abroad to study, but Huang Youliang was also thinking about where his son would study. He was going to buy a property abroad, and then he could go abroad to live in retirement. However, this would require a lot of money. Huang Youliang smiled and glanced at Qian Xinlai. In front of him was a big financial backer.
"It's a good thing for young people to study abroad. They are ambitious. Director Huang, you should be happy. Why are you having a headache? He is much more promising than my brat, who didn't even finish college." Qian Xinlai laughed.
"This can't be compared. Mr. Qian, you are a big boss with such a big business. Your son came out in advance to help you, and in the future, he will inherit your business." Huang Youliang smiled faintly. "I'm different. Studying abroad costs a lot of money. As a public servant, I have to bear this expense. It's very stressful."
Qian Xinlai laughed. Looking at Huang Youliang's smiling face, Qian Xinlai felt that pasting the word "shameless" on his face would tarnish the word. Qian Xinlai didn't show anything, but the smile on his face grew brighter. Director Huang, what's there to worry about such a small matter? I'll get someone to help you with your son's study abroad.
Aiya, how can I accept this? Huang Youliang said embarrassedly.
Director Huang, you are treating me like an outsider. Qian Xinlai laughed.
Zhang Lixing looked at the scene in front of him and didn't say anything. From time to time, he would puff out smoke rings. Looking at Qian Xinlai's smiling face through the smoke, and then looking at how friendly Huang Youliang was with him, Zhang Lixing knew that this was just an ordinary scene in their relationship with Qian Xinlai. But for no reason, he was worried. Was it a little unwise to be so deeply involved with Qian Xinlai?
Zhang Lixing sighed helplessly. Now this was no longer something he could control. When the interests of the whole group were tied to Qian Xinlai, Zhang Lixing found himself deeply involved, and it was even impossible to get rid of Qian Xinlai. They were now in the honeymoon period, and there had been no conflict, but what if … Zhang Lixing didn't dare to think about it. He had never thought about this problem, or it could be said that he was deliberately avoiding it.
Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly. Mount Wang in October was really a beautiful season. At this time, it was a good time to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers of Mount Wang.
At noon, after the banquet at the Municipal Party Committee's guest house, Zheng Jue and his team were arranged to stay in the guest house. After the lunch break, the Investment Promotion Agency would be responsible for the inspection of Zheng Jue and his team.
As a big secretary, Chen Xing couldn't worry about everything. By coming out to welcome them personally, Chen Xing had already shown his importance and attitude. As for the specific inspection, Chen Xing didn't have so much time to accompany them.
Fulin Village Head Liu Sanan was dismissed because of his style of living. This matter was reported to the Municipal Party Committee by Fengshan District Party Committee Secretary Zhao Huapeng and District Discipline Inspection Secretary Ning Zhengde.
This kind of person held a leading position in the village government. In addition to his style of living, it was necessary to check if there were any other corruption problems. After listening to the report, Chen Xing stared at Zhao Huapeng and Ning Zhengde.
Zhao Huapeng and Ning Zhengde exchanged a look quietly. Since Zhao Huapeng didn't say anything, Ning Zhengde, the Discipline Inspection Secretary, didn't dare to say anything and kept silent.
Secretary Chen, we will follow your instructions and go back to check carefully. Zhao Huapeng responded quickly. In his opinion, a small village head was not worth protecting at all.
Alright, you can go back first. You can report to Secretary-general Wu about the follow-up of this matter. Don't come to me again. Chen Xing waved his hand. After getting along with Wu Ning for a short period of time, Chen Xing felt that he was quite trustworthy.
Zhao Huapeng and Ning Zhengde nodded and stood up. Since Chen Xing had asked them to leave, they didn't dare to stay any longer.
Seeing Zhao Huapeng and Ning Zhengde leave, Chen Xing twitched his mouth.
After sitting for a while, Chen Xing subconsciously wanted to call Huang Jianghua to come in. Just when he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he had given Huang Jianghua two days off. He smiled bitterly and patted his forehead. Then, Chen Xing called Wei Sida to come in.
Chief Wei, call the Public Security Bureau to find out the progress of the car accident at the bus station. Chen Xing ordered.
Wei Sida was stunned. He glanced at Chen Xing and nodded.
After a short while, Wei Sida came in again. Secretary Chen, the Public Security Bureau responded that the driver of the accident was privately reconciling with the victim's family.
What happened next? A trace of coldness flashed across Chen Xing's eyes.
He didn't say anything else about this. Wei Sida shook his head and said.
I got it. Chen Xing nodded indifferently. There wasn't much expression on his face.
Seeing this, Wei Sida wanted to say a few words for Qian Xinlai's son. However, he thought that it would be counterproductive if he got involved. He didn't need to worry about this kind of thing. Qian Xinlai had many ways to solve this problem. There was no need for him to get involved.
Secretary Chen, I'll go back to work. Wei Sida said.
Go ahead. Chen Xing nodded.
