The sound of footsteps came from outside the ward. Li Ying came in. Seeing Chen Xing, Li Ying was surprised for a moment and then her face lit up. "Secretary Chen, you're here again."
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded and then said with a smile, "Miss Li, it sounds like you don't welcome me."
"No, no, I said you're here again. I'm happy and I can't welcome you more." Li Ying hurriedly waved her hand and explained.
"I'm just kidding. Look at how nervous you are." Chen Xing smiled and turned to look at Li Yanpei. Chen Xing sighed and the smile on his face disappeared again.
Sitting in the ward, Chen Xing, Cai Yalan, and Li Ying were chatting. Knowing that Li Ying didn't quite agree with her father's intention to have another brain operation, Chen Xing didn't persuade her. As an outsider, it was really inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing.
After sitting for about ten minutes, when Chen Xing was about to stand up and leave, someone knocked on the door and came in. It was a middle-aged man in his forties with a fair face and glasses on his face. He looked gentle. Chen Xing thought it was a relative or friend of Li Yanpei's family, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He nodded to Cai Yalan and Li Ying, indicating that they didn't need to see him out, and then turned to leave.
"This must be Secretary Chen." The middle-aged man looked at Chen Xing and suddenly said. His eyes were still on Chen Xing's face. It could be seen that he was sizing up and scrutinizing Chen Xing.
"You are?" Chen Xing looked at the other party in confusion. He subconsciously turned to look at Cai Yalan and Li Ying, thinking that the two of them should know each other. However, when he saw Li Ying shake her head at him, Chen Xing realized that it was not what he thought.
"Secretary Chen, I'm Zhang Wanzheng." The middle-aged man took the initiative to smile and reach out his hand.
Are you Zhang Wanzheng? Chen Xing was stunned and quickly stretched out his hand. At this time, Chen Xing was also secretly looking at the man. The man in front of him was the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection in Wangshan City. Ge Jian-ming had mentioned him before and said that the man would support his work when he arrived at Wangshan. At this moment, looking at the man, Chen Xing smiled. It turned out to be Comrade Wan Zheng. When did you arrive at Wangshan?
I arrived the day before yesterday, but Secretary Chen happened to be in Beijing, so I didn't pay him a visit.
Zhang Wanzheng smiled.
Look at my memory. Secretary Jian Ming told me that you were coming over, but I forgot about it. It seems like I have to treat you to a meal as an apology. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. On the night Li Yanpei woke up, when he was on the phone with Ge Jian-ming, Ge Jian-ming had mentioned that Chen Xing went to Nanzhou the next day and went to the capital with Shen Qing 'an the next day, so he had forgotten about it.
Secretary Chen, you're too polite. You're busy with work. How can you apologize?
Zhang Wanzheng smiled. "I'm even more forgetful than you, Secretary Chen. I have to remember many things in a small notebook that I carry with me and take it out to read every day. Otherwise, I'll really forget it."
The two of them laughed and talked. Chen Xing knew that Cai Yalan and Li Ying didn't know Zhang Wanzheng, so he introduced Zhang Wanzheng. He was here to take over Comrade Yan Pei's position.
"Ah?" Li Ying looked at Zhang Wanzheng in surprise. Zhang Wanzheng had actually been here once before. It was the night before yesterday. When he came, she and her mother thought that he had come to the wrong ward. It wasn't until they confirmed that he was really here to visit her father that they asked him to sit down. In their impression, her father's friends and colleagues had already been here, but there was no such person. As for their relatives, they naturally knew them. They were naturally confused when a stranger suddenly came. At that time, Zhang Wanzheng said that he was a friend of her father's in the same industry. They didn't think much about it. He was a guest, so they naturally had to treat him well.
Secretary Chen, I came here the night before yesterday. Comrade Yan Pei's family thought that I had come to the wrong ward. Zhang Wanzheng smiled.
Secretary Zhang, you didn't say that you were the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. My mother and I didn't know you at that time. If there was any neglect, please forgive us. Li Ying apologized.
Isn't it the best hospitality to have a chair to sit on and water to drink? I was afraid that you would kick me out when you saw a stranger barging into the ward. Besides, I'm not the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Wangshan City yet. I'm just an ordinary colleague of Comrade Yan Pei. As a latecomer, I came to visit Comrade Yan Pei with respect. Zhang Wanzheng waved his hand and smiled.
Chen Xing stood aside and smiled. Observing Zhang Wanzheng's words and behavior gave him a preliminary understanding of Zhang Wanzheng. In the future, he would have a deeper understanding of Zhang Wanzheng. Now, from Zhang Wanzheng's words, he could see his easy-going and humorous side. However, the situation was a certain specificity after all. Chen Xing also knew that it didn't mean anything. On the contrary, Zhang Wanzheng had already visited Li Yanpei after he came here. From this small detail, he could more or less see some of this person's nature. At least, he was not too bad at being a person.
Since Zhang Wanzheng was here, Chen Xing was not in a hurry to leave. Jiang Dongming brought a chair for Zhang Wanzheng and invited Zhang Wanzheng to take a seat. He looked Zhang Wanzheng's face up and down, and his eyes were full of surprise. He didn't expect that this middle-aged man, who had been to the hospital once, would be the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He felt inexplicably uneasy.
Chen Xing sat down in his original seat. After Zhang Wanzheng sat for a while, Chen Xing left with him. The two of them came down from the elevator and talked. Zhang Wanzheng said with a smile, "The appointment from the province hasn't been issued yet, so I came here first. I wanted to take a look at Wangshan and familiarize myself with the situation.
Comrade Wanzheng came to Wangshan the day before yesterday. Including today, he should have been here for almost three days. What do you think? " Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Wanzheng and said with a smile, "I don't have any opinion.
Without in-depth investigation, I have no right to speak. In fact, I can't understand anything in less than three days, so I won't make any comments. "
Zhang Wanzheng smiled.
Hearing Zhang Wanzheng's words, Chen Xing chuckled softly. His gaze swept across Zhang Wanzheng's face, and a new impression of Zhang Wanzheng appeared in his heart. Clearly, the other party was a cautious person.
"Where did Comrade Wanzheng stay these two nights?" Chen Xing asked casually.
"He stayed in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee."
Zhang Wanzheng said with a smile. His appointment hadn't been issued yet, and it was just his personal decision to come to Wangshan first. He didn't inform the people in Wangshan in advance. He had stayed in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee at his own expense for the two nights he had arrived in Wangshan in advance.
"That's good. I'll stay behind the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. If I have time when I go back in the evening, I'll talk to Comrade Wanzheng." Chen Xing looked at the time with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "How about this? I'll treat a staff member to dinner tonight. Comrade Wanzheng can come with me."
"No, no, Secretary Chen, since you're treating someone to dinner, I won't join in the fun."
Zhang Wanzheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Secretary Chen is also staying in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. When Secretary Chen comes back in the evening, I'll go to see Chen Xing."
"Okay, I should be back before nine o 'clock. Comrade Wanzheng is welcome to come and have a seat." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Then I'll definitely go and bother you."
Zhang Wanzheng nodded with a smile.
The two said a few last words and said goodbye to each other. Zhang Wanzheng stood there and watched Chen Xing's car leave. He vaguely saw Chen Xing looking back from the car. Zhang Wanzheng raised his hand and waved, staring at Chen Xing's car disappear from his sight. Behind him, Zhou Pingfang, the entourage brought by Zhang Wanzheng, came up. Director Zhang, this Secretary Chen is really young. Because Zhang Wanzheng had not really taken office, Zhou Pingfang still habitually called him Director Zhang.
He's only in his early thirties, how can he not be young?
Zhang Wanzheng smiled.
"When he was the mayor of Nanzhou, I seem to have heard that his relationship with Secretary Ge was not very harmonious." Zhou Pingfang glanced at the leader and whispered.
"Don't mention this kind of hearsay in the future."
Zhang Wanzheng waved his hand.
Hearing this, Zhou Pingfang nodded. In fact, he dared to say such words to Zhang Wanzheng because of his unusual relationship with Zhang Wanzheng. When Zhang Wanzheng was the deputy director of the Discipline Inspection Office, he had been handling cases with him. Later, Zhang Wanzheng was promoted to director, and now he was transferred to Mount Wang as the secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years had passed. From a young man who had just entered the Discipline Inspection Commission, he had now got married and had children. He had also become a confidant of Zhang Wanzheng.
As the director of the Discipline Inspection Office of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, he was at the divisional level. At this level, there was no full-time secretary. This time, he followed Zhang Wanzheng to Mount Wang to serve as Zhang Wanzheng's secretary after he was appointed as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Mount Wang. A deputy director could already have a secretary. His work transfer had to wait until Zhang Wanzheng's appointment was announced. The fact that Zhang Wanzheng had brought him along showed his trust in him. Zhou Pingfang also knew Zhang Wanzheng well and knew that it was okay to say something in private.
Seeing that Chen Xing's car had disappeared, Zhang Wanzheng didn't stay any longer. He stopped a car with Zhou Pingfang and left. In the past two days in Mount Wang, he had just walked around and familiarized himself with the situation in Mount Wang. He also went to the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission to have a look, but he didn't go in. Zhang Wanzheng also went to the District Discipline Inspection Commission to get to know the style of the discipline inspection unit in Mount Wang.
In the car, Zhang Wanzheng thought about what Zhou Pingfang had just said and pondered. The relationship between leaders was obviously not something they could guess. He was going to be appointed as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Mount Wang. Ge Jian-ming had talked to him first and asked him to come to Mount Wang to support Chen Xing's work on matters of principle. Zhang Wanzheng could naturally understand Ge Jian-ming's meaning. As for the rumor that Chen Xing and Ge Jian-ming didn't get along well, Zhang Wanzheng had heard about it before. However, he didn't need to care about this kind of thing. Doing his own work was more important than anything else. However, Zhang Wanzheng was also quite curious about the relationship between Ge Jian-ming and Chen Xing. The previous head of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission of Ge Jian-ming was Tan Zheng. As far as he knew, the relationship between Chen Xing and Tan Zheng was really good. As far as he knew, Chen Xing had looked for Tan Zheng several times in private.
The relationship between these leaders was really not something they could guess. Zhang Wanzheng pondered and shook his head slightly.
At the Old Sichuan Restaurant, Chen Xing ordered Li Yong to drive there. The little girl, Lin Siyu, sent a text message saying that she didn't know where to eat and let him decide. Chen Xing was not in the mood to think about this. He had been to the Old Sichuan Restaurant several times, so he simply decided to eat there.
In the car, Huang Jianghua was also talking about Zhang Wanzheng with Chen Xing. Wearing a pair of glasses, his face was fair and clean, and he looked more like a teacher. Huang Jianghua said half-jokingly, "Secretary, I don't think that Secretary Zhang looks like a person capable of discipline inspection. He looks more like a scholar.
You can't measure the sea with a dipper, and you can't judge a book by its cover. Don't you understand this? " Chen Xing smiled. Thinking of the impression Zhang Wanzheng gave him just now, Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He couldn't judge what kind of person Zhang Wanzheng was. However, even if Ge Jian-ming didn't know much about the situation in Wangshan City, Ge Jian-ming should also know that the work in Wangshan City was a bit complicated, so he must have considered it when selecting people. Chen Xing thought that Zhang Wanzheng must have something extraordinary to be chosen by Ge Jian-ming.
As the car was driving on the road, Chen Xing's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from He Li. Chen Xing was stunned. He glanced at Huang Jianghua and picked it up. Huang Jianghua seemed to have grown a third eye at the back of his head. He sat back and turned his head to look out of the window.
"Chen Xing, are you still in the capital now?" He Li asked on the phone.
"I've returned to Mount Wang and just came back today." Chen Xing said.
"Well, you came back to Nanzhou from the capital, but you didn't even come here. You ran back to Mount Wang directly. You have no conscience." He Li scolded him with a smile.
Chen Xing coughed softly. Huang Jianghua and Li Yong were also in the car. Although they were all people he trusted, his private life had always been well protected. Huang Jianghua and Li Yong did not know his relationship with He Li and the others.
He Li and Chen Xing had a tacit understanding. Hearing the hint in Chen Xing's voice, He Li stopped flirting on the phone and got down to business. "Chen Xing, I will go to Mount Wang in two days with a friend."
"Huh?" Chen Xing frowned in confusion.
"Do you remember what I told you a few days ago? A friend I know wants to see you. She runs an electronics factory. I will go with her this time. She said she wanted to go to Mount Wang for an investigation. I will go with her." He Li smiled on the phone. "Of course, if you want to see her, you can see her. If you don't want to see her, I will help you refuse.
I will wait for you to come and arrange it. " When Chen Xing heard that it might be related to investment, he did not say anything more. As long as there was a company that was interested in investing in Mount Wang, Chen Xing had no reason to refuse. He had to take the initiative to fight for it.
"Well, I will contact you when I arrive. Then you can decide whether to see her or not." Hearing that Chen Xing's attitude had changed a little, He Li said happily.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing thought of his women and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that these women had never taken the initiative to make trouble for him, and they rarely asked him for anything. Most of the time, it was them who did the work.
In the courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee, Lin Siyu walked out of the gate and walked a short distance along the road on the left side of the gate. A black car was parked on the side of the road. Lin Siyu stood in front of the car and looked around. Then she opened the door of the passenger seat and got into the car.
In the car, Qian Xinlai was wearing sunglasses and sitting in the back seat. In the driver's seat, Luo Ling temporarily played the role of the driver.
"Siyu, I have to seize the opportunity to have dinner with Chen Xing tonight."
Luo Ling looked at Lin Siyu with a smile.
"Tonight is only the first time. I can't be too hasty. Otherwise, I think it will be counterproductive." Lin Siyu glanced at Luo Ling. This woman dressed herself up beautifully every day. Lin Siyu really felt sorry for her husband. His wife dressed up so beautifully just to please others.
"You can't be too hasty, but you don't have much time." In the back seat, Qian Xinlai's leisurely voice was heard.
Lin Siyu's body slightly stiffened. She glanced at Qian Xinlai's expression from the rearview mirror. More than half of his face was covered by sunglasses. Lin Siyu couldn't see Qian Xinlai's expression clearly. She didn't know what Qian Xinlai's eyes, which had always made her feel gloomy and cold, looked like now. However, the subconscious fear of Qian Xinlai still made her involuntarily nervous. "Mr. Qian, I will work hard."
"It's good that you know. Remember, you only have one month." Qian Xinlai said calmly.
"Luo Ling, drive me there."
"Okay."
Luo Ling smiled and nodded.
On the way to Old Chuanwei Restaurant, Luo Ling didn't stop saying things that could be said to be unpleasant to Lin Siyu's ears. Looking at Luo Ling's charming smile and extremely natural appearance, Lin Siyu pursed her lips. Apart from listening, what else could she do?
"Siyu, don't think that I'm saying these words to you because I have nothing better to do. If a woman isn't frivolous, men won't love her. I want to tell you, you must be open. If you are still bashful, you won't be able to succeed no matter how long I teach you."
Seeing that Lin Siyu didn't speak, Luo Ling said.
"I will remember it in my heart." Lin Siyu replied indifferently.
"It's good that you remember it. Don't let Mr. Qian down."
Luo Ling smiled.
Soon, the car arrived at a crossroads very close to Old Chuanwei Restaurant. After passing the crossroads, the car drove forward for another ten meters. She turned her head and glanced at Qian Xinlai. "Mr. Qian, it's in front. Do you want to drive further?"
"It's only a short distance. You can walk there by yourself." Qian Xinlai looked forward, his voice still emotionless.
Lin Siyu nodded silently. She also didn't intend to let Luo Ling drive to the entrance, in case Chen Xing saw it. However, it seemed that Qian Xinlai had thought it through more thoroughly than her.
As if relieved, Lin Siyu got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant. As long as Qian Xinlai wasn't by her side, Lin Siyu felt a lot more relaxed.
"Mr. Qian, you really came to pick up Lin Siyu tonight to attend the banquet."
Luo Ling looked at Lin Siyu's figure wrapped in a professional skirt. Although she was a little less voluptuous, she was slim and slender. Coupled with the tight-fitting clothes, she looked even more beautiful. Her body was full of youthful vitality. Luo Ling couldn't help but feel a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
"As long as she can help me deal with that Secretary Chen, I don't mind even if I have to wash her feet." Qian Xinlai smiled playfully.
"Then she is really lucky."
Luo Ling smiled and glanced at Qian Xinlai. "Mr. Qian, are you really only giving her one month?"
"If I don't say it as short as possible, do you think she will feel a sense of urgency? I don't have that much time to waste with her." Qian Xinlai snorted coldly. He came to pick up Lin Siyu because it was on the way. However, Qian Xinlai was also looking forward to Lin Siyu asking out Chen Xing for the first time. He hoped that there would be progress soon.
There was a moment of silence in the car. Luo Ling heard the implied meaning in Qian Xinlai's words. Qian Xinlai did not really give a time limit of one month. That was just to force Lin Siyu to be more proactive. However, it was obvious that Qian Xinlai was indeed eager for success. Luo Ling faintly felt something. Xincheng Group seemed to be very glamorous now, but perhaps there was a hidden crisis.
In the restaurant, Chen Xing had booked a small private room. When Lin Siyu arrived, Chen Xing had just arrived for a while. He was standing by the window and looking out. The city scenery of Wangshan City was actually not very beautiful. There were uneven buildings and old streets. The only thing that was still pleasing to the eye was the Xincheng Building in the distance.
Xiao Lin was here. Huang Jianghua saw Lin Siyu coming in and nodded with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xing also turned around and smiled at Lin Siyu. Since you came, just sit down. You don't have to be so formal when you eat in private.
Lin Siyu did not expect that Chen Xing's driver and secretary were both here. She was a little stunned. It was not until Chen Xing spoke that Lin Siyu came to her senses. She did not know how to describe her feelings. Lin Siyu's expression was a little complicated. She walked over and sat down.
"Xiao Lin, what's wrong? You don't look well." Chen Xing glanced at her and asked.
No, no. Lin Siyu shook her head with a smile. She quickly adjusted her mood.
Chen Xing asked Lin Siyu to order. Lin Siyu held the menu in a daze and said with a wry smile that she did not know what to order. In the end, the menu was handed over to Huang Jianghua. Huang Jianghua was responsible for ordering the dishes. They sat down. Seeing that Lin Siyu seemed to be a little reserved, Chen Xing, who did not want to be in an awkward situation, took the initiative to find a topic and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, where did you go to college?"
The University of South State. Lin Siyu responded softly.
"The University of South State? What a coincidence. Before I came to Mount Gaze, I worked in South State. I have been to your school several times. " Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Well, I have heard of you, Secretary Chen." Lin Siyu nodded. "Secretary Chen was the one who went to quell the student protests in our school because of the car accident. Secretary Chen, you may not know this, but everyone was talking about you afterward."
"What are they talking about me about? Are they scolding me, the mayor, for doing nothing?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"No, no, the students in our school all admire you very much. They said that you punished the official.
Otherwise, no one knew who could have punished him. At that time, it was the second time that the perpetrator drove a sports car and hit someone in the school, but he was not punished. " Lin Siyu looked at Chen Xing and said sincerely, "Secretary Chen, you solved the problem when you came, so everyone respects you."
"Everyone is equal before the law. No matter who it is, as long as they break the law, we will not tolerate it." Chen Xing said seriously, "So what you said about admiration is actually what a leader should do."
"That's what you think, Secretary Chen. I think many officials are irresponsible." Lin Siyu wrinkled her delicate little nose.
"Xiao Lin, you are working in a government unit now, so you can't say such things casually in the future." Chen Xing looked at her with a smile. He had a good impression of this little girl and wanted to give her some advice. "You can't go wrong if you don't talk too much. You have just stepped out of school. The people and things in society are not as simple as your relationship with your classmates at school. You should see more and learn more. Talk less and do more. Be careful with your words and actions. You should remember this in the government."
"Secretary Chen, I will remember it. Thank you for your guidance." Listening to Chen Xing's words, Lin Siyu felt a little bitter in her heart. Chen Xing thought that she had just graduated this year, but he didn't know that she was only a fourth-year student. She, who was still in school, had already experienced the cruelty and darkness of society. Qian Xinlai asked her to seduce Chen Xing. No matter what his purpose was, it was definitely not a good thing. Lin Siyu knew that she shouldn't have done this, but she couldn't resist. She only hoped that her mother could get treatment and continue to live in this world.
Looking at Chen Xing, whose words were full of kindness and didn't put on any airs of a leader, and the way he looked at her was pure and generous, Lin Siyu felt a little bitter in her heart. She didn't want to harm Chen Xing, but Qian Xinlai definitely didn't have good intentions. From a young age, her parents had taught her not to hurt others for her own selfish desires, and to be an upright person. Lin Siyu knew that she had gone against her parents' teachings. If her mother knew that she had used this method to pay for her treatment, perhaps her mother would insist on leaving the hospital and reprimand her bitterly. However, Lin Siyu had no other choice. Between family and conscience, she chose family. Perhaps this would be against her own conscience, but in order to let her mother live a little longer, Lin Siyu was willing to do so.
On the street, Chang Shengjun and Zhou Huai walked along the road. Yang Hongchao was promoted to the bureau chief, and Chang Shengjun, the secretary of the bureau's Party Committee, was now more free than anyone else in the bureau.
After work, Chang Shengjun and Zhou Huai went out to eat together. They parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and the two walked casually. Chang Shengjun was a man of few words. Zhou Huai knew that the leader had been depressed recently, so he just followed behind and didn't say anything.
Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Zhou Huai curled his lips. Dressed in ordinary casual clothes, they were almost lost in the crowd. Chang Shengjun was now in the bureau. Although he was the secretary of the bureau's Party Committee, in fact, he didn't have any status at all. The situation of the Wangshan Public Security System made Zhou Huai feel very bad. He had been a police officer for a few years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Chang Shengjun was not welcomed in the bureau, let alone him. Others regarded him as Chang Shengjun's confidant, so it would be strange if they treated him well.
In the morning, he went out with Chang Shengjun to visit again. He came out in casual clothes in private. Zhou Huai knew that Chang Shengjun was holding back his anger, but now he was really a little pessimistic about the future.
