Chang Shengjun sat quietly. Luo Zhongping and Zhao Kechang had just left. After listening to Chen Xing's explanation, Chang Shengjun frowned and glanced at Chen Xing. "Secretary Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Xing held the Mountain Gaze Evening News in his hand. The report on Zhang Fei's suicide incident was written by Li Yuewen, the editor-in-chief of the evening newspaper. If Zhao Kechang hadn't mentioned it, Chen Xing wouldn't have paid attention to it. He didn't know Li Yuewen before. Although he had been in Mountain Gaze for more than 20 days, Chen Xing didn't know most people and things except for the main party and government cadres in the city.
At this moment, he held the newspaper again and re-read the article written by Li Yuewen. After reading it carefully again, Chen Xing handed it to Chang Shengjun. "Read it carefully again and see what you think."
When Chang Shengjun heard Chen Xing's words, he took the newspaper in confusion. He had already read it once. If he read it again, wouldn't it be the same? Could it be that the words on the paper could change on their own?
Since Chen Xing had given the order, Chang Shengjun didn't dare to ignore it. He took the newspaper and read it again. However, he only read three lines at a time. After reading it quickly, he looked up at Chen Xing. "Secretary Chen, it's still the same.
You read it a few more times. Didn't you find anything else? " Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"No, it's still the same words." Chang Shengjun shook his head and then smiled bitterly. "Secretary Chen, I graduated from the police academy. I wasn't good at liberal arts before. It's really difficult for me to study this kind of language. It's more difficult than flying a plane."
Zhao Kechang said that Li Yuewen's home was close to Zhang Fei's home. According to him, they were acquaintances. When he heard that Zhang Fei jumped off the building, he was influenced by the comments on the Internet, so he published such an article angrily. Although he realized his mistake later, do you think this explanation is reliable? " Chen Xing smiled faintly. Moreover, this article seems to be protesting against Zhang Fei's injustice. But deep down, what I see is a kind of indifference and numbness. This is what I think after reading it several times. Of course, this is just my speculation.
"Secretary Chen, I absolutely believe your speculation." Chang Shengjun answered immediately. As the chief editor of the evening newspaper, he was a deputy divisional level cadre and was in charge of the official mouthpiece of the evening newspaper. He should know better than anyone the negative impact of publishing such an article without authorization. I don't believe that he would ignore the organization's discipline and publish such an article without authorization because of his personal feelings. "
Chen Xing looked at Chang Shengjun, who was on the verge of jumping up and down, and shook his head. He could understand Chang Shengjun's feelings. It was originally an accident, but he was splashed with dirty water. Now that he was in a terrible predicament, no one would feel good if they were in his shoes.
"You've just come to the Mountain Gaze and you haven't made enemies with anyone. Who on earth wants to target you?" Chen Xing frowned. This was undoubtedly a puzzling question. It had only been a few days since Chang Shengjun had arrived.
"Who knows? I'm still confused. I haven't familiarized myself with my work yet, but I've already been hit in the head." Chang Shengjun smiled helplessly. As he spoke, Chang Shengjun suddenly slapped his thigh. "Ah, how could I forget about this? Secretary Chen, if I had offended anyone, it would be President Qian and Director Zeng of the Xincheng Group. At their engagement party, I had brought people to arrest them. It would be strange if they didn't bear a grudge against me."
When Chen Xing heard Chang Shengjun's words, he was also slightly stunned. "Yes, how could I forget about this?"
He frowned. "Could it be that Qian Xinlai is behind this?" "The Internet and the media are adding fuel to the fire. All these can be done as long as you have money. According to this speculation, it seems that Qian Xinlai is the most suspicious person. As for Director Zeng Gaocheng of the National People's Congress, does he have anything to do with this matter?"
Chen Xing was deep in thought when Huang Jianghua walked in. "Secretary, Director Zeng is looking for you."
A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. Speak of the devil. He had just been thinking about Zeng Gaocheng, and he had come.
At this moment, Chang Shengjun also turned to look at Chen Xing. The Director Zeng that Huang Jianghua mentioned was naturally Zeng Gaocheng. Chang Shengjun stood up. Since Zeng Gaocheng had come, he obviously needed to leave for a while.
"Secretary Chen, can I go to Secretary Huang's place for a while?" Chang Shengjun asked Chen Xing for his opinion.
"Well, it's good for you to leave for a while." Chen Xing nodded.
As Huang Jianghua walked out, Chang Shengjun saw Zeng Gaocheng at the door and nodded to greet him. Chang Shengjun was not impolite. Although he had gone to the engagement party of Zeng Gaocheng's daughter and Qian Xinlai's son that night, Chang Shengjun had always been a person who did things according to the facts and not the person. Qian Xinlai's son had indeed violated the traffic law by speeding and killed someone. Therefore, he had the right to arrest him. Now that he met Zeng Gaocheng, Chang Shengjun did not feel that he was in the wrong, even though he knew that Zeng Gaocheng was definitely not happy with him.
Zeng Gaocheng's eyes swept over Chang Shengjun's face and nodded expressionlessly. He looked a little surprised. Obviously, he did not expect that Chang Shengjun would also be in Chen Xing's office at this time.
The two passed by each other. Chang Shengjun noticed the look on Zeng Gaocheng's face, and his face twitched slightly. It seemed that Director Zeng had made a mental note of him.
"Director Zeng is here. Please sit down." Chen Xing smiled and stood up to greet him.
Zeng Gaocheng nodded and sat down. This was the first time that he had taken the initiative to come to Chen Xing's office. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the young Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in front of him. Apart from the time when Chen Xing took office, the two had not had any contact in private. What kind of person Chen Xing was? Ceng Gaocheng only learned from Chen Xing's words and deeds after he went to Mount Wang. In addition, he asked his friends in Nanzhou to find out what kind of person Chen Xing was when he was the mayor of Nanzhou. These were all ways for him to understand Chen Xing.
Secretary Chen, since Comrade Chang Shengjun was here just now, I won't beat around the bush. Zeng Gaocheng looked at Chen Xing, glanced at the newspaper on the table, and said, "Secretary Chen, you should have noticed today's newspaper and the comments on the Internet in the past two days. The public opinion is turbulent, and the day after tomorrow is the time for the National People's Congress. Comrade Chang Shengjun's appointment was approved at this time, isn't it a little inappropriate? If it was spread by someone with ulterior motives, it would probably lead to more criticism.
When Chen Xing heard Zeng Gaocheng's words, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Zeng Gaocheng.
"What I mean is, should we postpone the appointment of Comrade Chang Shengjun? We can think about it after the storm subsides. " Zeng Gaocheng looked into Chen Xing's eyes and said calmly.
"I have asked Comrade Shengjun to understand the situation. The comments on the Internet are not true. Someone deliberately misled the public. The Public Security Bureau can clarify the facts through official channels on the Internet, or hold a press conference to explain the matter clearly. This is not a big deal. We don't need to be affected by those misled public opinions." Chen Xing said calmly, indirectly denying Zeng Gaocheng's opinion. This matter was abnormal. If Chang Shengjun's appointment was postponed, no one knew what would happen to Chen Xing. His first reaction was to oppose Zeng Gaocheng's opinion.
"Secretary Chen, rumors are fiercer than tigers. No matter what is going on, I still insist that Chang Shengjun's appointment is not appropriate at this time. I think this is also my responsibility to Comrade Chang Shengjun." Zeng Gaocheng and Chen Xing looked at each other. "As the Director of the National People's Congress, I am also responsible for my position and the people."
Chen Xing raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Zeng Gaocheng. At this moment, the Director of the National People's Congress gave him a feeling that he was old but firm. After reading Zeng Gaocheng's resume, he knew that Zeng Gaocheng was elected as the Director of the National People's Congress after he retired from the position of Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. His influence in the city should not be underestimated. At this moment, Chen Xing had a bad feeling in his heart. Chang Shengjun's matter was far more complicated than he had imagined.
Since Director Zeng said that it was just a rumor, why should we care about it? Chen Xing smiled. "Our job is to listen to and understand the public opinion. These are all right, but the wrong direction of public opinion should not be used as a reference for our decision-making."
"Secretary Chen, regarding the incident of the policeman jumping off the building, if Sheng Jun really reprimanded him that day, we can't say that as a leader, it is wrong for Sheng Jun to reprimand a subordinate. However, we must pay attention to some methods and techniques when reprimanding people. Subordinates are also human beings, and they have their own dignity, right? So, regardless of whether the public opinion on this matter is misleading or not, I still insist that it is not appropriate to discuss the appointment of Comrade Chang Shengjun at this time." Ceng Gaocheng said calmly.
Chen Xing frowned. Ceng Gaocheng's words were intentionally or unintentionally twisting this matter. Chen Xing could tell that, and this was what he was more worried about. Glancing at Ceng Gaocheng, Chen Xing wanted to say something, but Ceng Gaocheng had already stood up. "Secretary Chen, regarding Comrade Sheng Jun's matter, I insist on my own opinion. This is my responsibility for my job. Of course, Secretary Chen, you are the leader of the National People's Congress, and I will respect your opinion."
After saying that, Ceng Gaocheng said again, "Secretary Chen, I won't disturb your work anymore."
Watching Ceng Gaocheng leave, Chen Xing's expression was a little gloomy. Chen Xing knew that Ceng Gaocheng was the director of the National People's Congress, and he still couldn't control him. If Ceng Gaocheng didn't support him, one could imagine the resistance it would bring. The most important thing was that Ceng Gaocheng seemed to say that he respected his opinion, but Chen Xing didn't see any respect in his heart.
With a thoughtful expression, Chen Xing thought about the matter of Chang Shengjun. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Just now, when he was talking with Chang Shengjun, he could still smile. At this moment, Chen Xing felt that a storm was brewing.
"Secretary Chen, does Director Ceng's visit have something to do with me?" Chang Shengjun said as soon as he walked in.
"You're right, it has something to do with you." Chen Xing's expression was solemn. "Shengjun, there's no way to delete all the comments on the Internet. Nowadays, the so-called Internet Water Army is like a fly that can't be killed. As long as someone pays them, they'll grow again. If there's a mastermind behind this matter, in addition to investigating, the Public Security Bureau should also know how to use the Internet media channels to clarify the facts and stop the rumors, instead of blindly deleting them."
"Secretary Chen, don't worry. I'll arrange for this when I get back." Chang Shengjun nodded.
"Just now, Ceng Gaocheng came over and said that the issue of your appointment will not be discussed at the National People's Congress meeting in two days, but I rejected it. However, Ceng Gaocheng left in the end. Chen Xing frowned and said. If Ceng Gaocheng was really determined to make trouble, this matter would really be a little troublesome. The most important thing was that Ceng Gaocheng could use Zhang Fei's matter as a good excuse.
"F * ck …" Chang Shengjun frowned and almost wanted to curse. If he hadn't looked up and seen Chen Xing sitting in front of him, Chang Shengjun would have cursed. Suppressing his anger, Chang Shengjun said. If Ceng Gaocheng really did this, it could only be said that this person was a complete villain. What kind of ability did he have to make trouble like this? He was the Director of the National People's Congress.
Chen Xing didn't say anything. He was thinking about what Chang Shengjun had said before. If Chang Shengjun, who had only been in Mountain View for a few days, had offended someone, it was Qian Xinlai. As for Ceng Gaocheng, maybe he should also be counted. After all, it was the engagement between the Qian family and the Zeng family. If Qian Xinlai had done this, it seemed that Ceng Gaocheng, as the in-law, had helped to add fuel to the fire. It seemed that it was easy to explain.
The two of them were silent. At this time, Chang Shengjun was full of anger, but he couldn't let it out, nor could he vent it. That kind of feeling of grievance made him, who had always been a straightforward man, almost go crazy.
"Shengjun, go back and deal with things first. Refute the rumors and work. There's no need to be affected by this matter. The more you panic, the more you fall into the enemy's trap." Chen Xing thought for a while and said to Chang Shengjun.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Chang Shengjun was a little unwilling, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was useless for him to sit in Chen Xing's office now. It was more important to go back and deal with things.
Chang Shengjun was not a person who would not panic when he encountered something. He had been in criminal investigation for a long time, and it could be said that he had been through all kinds of storms and waves. What kind of vicious criminals had he not experienced? But this kind of thing made him feel aggrieved. They had used the characteristics of the Internet in the new era to play a dirty trick on him, which made him feel helpless.
After leaving Chen Xing's office, Chang Shengjun gritted his teeth. If he found evidence to prove who did this, this matter would not be over!
The office was not big, but the decoration was quite exquisite. The small Maitreya jade on the bookshelf looked inconspicuous, but it was worth tens of thousands of yuan. This was the office of the general office director, Wei Sida. He liked to play with jade when he had nothing to do, so he also put one or two of his favorite jade in the office. When he was bored, he could take it out and play with it.
Lin Siyu sat opposite Wei Sida. Her little hands were clasped together, which showed that she was nervous and restrained at the moment. Qian Xinlai sent a car to send her to the gate of the Municipal Party Committee. She called the number given in advance and was led to this office.
Wei Sida looked at the little girl in front of him. According to Qian Xinlai, the little girl was only a senior this year, and she was really a young girl. Although Wei Sida was not very fascinated by women, if there was really a beautiful woman in front of him, Wei Sida would also be tempted. Looking at Lin Siyu, Wei Sida sighed in his heart that it was really easy to get things done with money nowadays. Qian Xinlai actually found such a wonderful little girl in such a short time. He did not know whether Chen Xing could stand it, but it was good if he could not.
Later, I will ask someone to tell you about the things to pay attention to when working in the Municipal Party Committee. You have to remember it well. In the afternoon, familiarize yourself with how to work. Tomorrow morning, you will be in charge of Secretary Chen's office. You will be in charge of the daily cleaning and tidying of his office. Wei Sida said to the other party, and then added, "One thing to remember when working in a government unit is that you have to be diligent. Whether the leader is calling you or not, you have to run to the leader more often, show your face, and see if there is anything you need to do for the leader. You also have to know how to observe people's words and expressions. These are all things that test your judgment. You are a woman, so you have to fully understand how to use your advantages, understand?"
Lin Siyu nodded slightly. She might not understand everything Wei Sida said, but before she came, Luo Ling had already taught her a lot about how to seduce men. Lin Siyu knew that her mission was actually to hook up with Chen Xing and then have that kind of relationship with him.
When it was close to noon, Chen Xing came out from the Municipal Party Committee. Yang Hong asked him out for lunch, and Chen Xing did not refuse. The two of them arranged to meet at a restaurant. When Chen Xing arrived at the restaurant, it was already past twelve o 'clock. Yang Hong was already waiting in the private room.
The Mount Wang Branch of the Nangang Group was located in the suburbs. Yang Hong was now the deputy general manager of the branch, so she was qualified to have a private car in the company. The driver was a local, so it was very easy for Yang Hong to understand the situation in the city. She specially found a very unique restaurant that combined Chinese and Western styles, asked for an elegant private room, and came to wait for Chen Xing in advance.
It's really not easy to treat a big leader like you to a meal. Yang Hong saw Chen Xing coming over and immediately teased him.
Well, I'm here now. I can reject other people's invitations, but I don't dare to reject your invitation. Chen Xing sat down and joked.
Is that so? It seems that I'm quite influential for a big secretary like you to give me face. Yang Hong laughed. Even if Chen Xing's words were a joke, as a woman, she was happy to hear it.
After asking the waiter to serve the dishes, Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing with a pair of happy eyes. I'm looking for a new place to stay. Once I've settled down, you can come and visit.
Why, is it not convenient to stay in the dormitory? Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Yang Hong.
The dormitory is not bad. After all, I'm a deputy general manager. Why would you give me a dormitory that's too formal? It has two bedrooms and one living room, and the decorations are quite exquisite. In fact, it's not bad. Yang Hong smiled and gave Chen Xing a flirtatious look. I'm just afraid that it's not convenient for some people to stay in the dormitory.
Why would it be inconvenient for me? Chen Xing laughed.
Oh, I didn't say that it's not convenient for you. Why do you think so? Yang Hong covered her mouth and laughed.
Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. He didn't want to argue with a woman anymore.
The steel market is not doing well now. Did your group make a loss again this year? Chen Xing casually asked.
What can they do about the loss? No steel company dares to stop no matter how much they lose. They still produce at full capacity. Yang Hong smiled. The steel industry has fallen into this strange cycle. The more they lose, the more they produce.
What can they do about it? Chen Xing smiled lightly.
As they spoke, Yang Hong rolled her eyes and smiled. Chen Xing, there's something I'm not sure if I should say.
What is it? Chen Xing glanced at Yang Hong. From Yang Hong's words, Chen Xing already knew that something bad was about to happen.
My dad is the deputy chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference. Now that the chairman, Liu Qinglan, is going to be transferred away, my dad also wants to fight for the position. Yang Hong smiled and didn't continue. She knew that Chen Xing would understand what she meant.
Isn't your dad almost 60 years old? Why would he want to compete with others for the position of the leader at this age? Besides, his age was not suitable. Chen Xing shook his head.
Even if it's only for one or two years, no one will give up. Who wouldn't be jealous of the position? Yang Hong pursed her lips. In the bureaucracy, this person only cared about the official hat on his head.
This is the CPPCC's business. I can't interfere. Besides, I've already been transferred out of Nanzhou. Do you think I can help? Chen Xing smiled helplessly.
Whether you can help or not depends on whether you're willing. Everyone knows that some officials in Nanzhou are willing to give you face. Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing with a burning gaze. Her father had mentioned this to her in private. Yang Hong had no choice but to ask Chen Xing for help. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Chen Xing for help. Yang Hong knew that the more she asked, the more she would make Chen Xing hate her. Every opportunity should be cherished and used at critical moments.
Don't you understand the saying 'when people leave, the tea cools down'? Some people say they're giving you face, but it's hard to say if they'll really help you. Chen Xing smiled. In Chen Xing's opinion, Yang Hong's father's matter was unnecessary. He was only one or two years away from retirement. There was no point in fighting for the position.
Alright, since you've said so, what else can I say? Yang Hong smiled bitterly and didn't mention it again.
I'll be going to Nanzhou in two days. If there's a chance, I'll mention your father's matter. Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong's expression and felt embarrassed. Sigh, this is the trouble caused by love debts.
Chen Xing and Yang Hong were eating. At the New City Hotel, Qian Xinlai also invited Ceng Gaocheng to a banquet. Ceng Gaocheng's child was already engaged, and the wedding date was set. They planned to hold it during the New Year to make it more festive.
Pouring wine for Ceng Gaocheng, Qian Xinlai smiled. I've already called Huang Youliang. He'll put in some effort at the Provincial Department. In addition to his connections in the province, if I don't mess up Chang Shengjun's appointment, I'll change my surname.
Chen Xing's attitude was crucial. After all, he was the one in charge. The biggest variable was actually him. This young man had a strong background. Ceng Gaocheng narrowed his eyes. Newbie, your little tricks can be used to deal with people like Chang Shengjun, but don't use them on Chen Xing.
Don't worry, we won't use those little tricks on Chen Xing. Otherwise, we'll be shooting ourselves in the foot. Qian Xinlai smiled and nodded. For a person like him, it's better to rope him in. That's the wisest move.
It won't be easy to rope him in. Chen Xing was already a government official at such a young age. He's young and successful. He probably isn't interested in money. You have so much money, but he might not even care. Ceng Gaocheng shook his head.
Money won't do, but we can use other methods. Men are creatures with their lower bodies. There must be some truth to this, right? Qian Xinlai chuckled. Even an old man like him was tempted by Lin Siyu, not to mention a young man like Chen Xing. He had confidence in Lin Siyu.
Why? Did you use other methods? Ceng Gaocheng looked at Qian Xinlai in confusion.
Let me keep you in suspense for now. When I succeed, I'll tell you. Qian Xinlai said with a smile. Come on, let's drink. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll drink more.
Hearing this, Ceng Gaocheng didn't ask any more questions. He picked up his glass and clinked it with Qian Xinlai. He frowned from time to time. No one knew what he was thinking.
Gaocheng, look at you frowning all the time. Is there something bothering you? Qian Xinlai glanced at Ceng Gaocheng and said with a smile, "Life is short. Let's enjoy ourselves. After drinking, go to the sauna downstairs. I'll arrange for a newcomer to give you a massage. I'm sure you'll feel better no matter how bad your mood is."
Hearing this, Ceng Gaocheng's frown eased a little. He was an official at his age, so he didn't think about the official hat on his head anymore. He could only enjoy life. If he didn't enjoy it now, he wouldn't have a chance when he was old.
While they were drinking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. It was Ceng Gaocheng's daughter, Ceng Xue. When Ceng Xue saw her father, she said anxiously, "Dad, Uncle Qian, Jinbao was arrested by the Public Security Bureau."
"What?" Qian Xinlai's eyes widened. He stood up and pushed the chair to the ground.
"Just now, our car was parked downstairs. As soon as Jinbao got out of the car, he was caught by several plainclothes policemen. They said they were from the Public Security Bureau and took Jinbao to the car.
"This son of a bitch surnamed Chang really dared to challenge me. Did he eat a leopard's guts?" Qian Xinlai was so angry that he pounded the table. He was just happy about today's event, but in the blink of an eye, Chang Shengjun did the same to him.
