Chen Xing smiled and didn't rush to say anything. He said to Chang Shengjun, "Shengjun, you haven't told Comrade Wan Zheng the details yet."
Chang Shengjun nodded. He just let Zhang Wanzheng listen to the recording first. Zhang Wanzheng was eager to ask questions after hearing it, so he didn't interrupt again. At this time, under Chen Xing's order, Chang Shengjun told Zhang Wanzheng in detail what he had learned from his private investigation in the past month.
Chen Xing also listened carefully. He hadn't asked Chang Shengjun to report alone before. This was actually the first time he heard more details.
"That woman is Liang Jing, the director of the government office?" When Zhang Wanzheng heard Chang Shengjun say who the woman in the recording was, he couldn't help but interrupt and ask. He couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Secretary Wan Zheng. Listen to me in detail." Chang Shengjun said with a smile.
Zhang Wanzheng nodded. This time, he sat quietly and listened to Chang Shengjun. He didn't interrupt again. As soon as he asked the question, Zhang Wanzheng felt that there was no need to make a fuss. It was almost impossible for an office director in his thirties to climb to the position of the director of the government office without the special appreciation of the leader. Even if he had outstanding personal ability, it was impossible for him to have no background in the officialdom, where seniority was still important. Maybe there were individual cases, but they were rare.
The director of the government office was the steward of the leader. To be able to sit in this position, the leader's trust was indispensable. Liang Jing was only in her thirties, but now she was a director. At this age, she was the youngest in this level. She was also beautiful. If she had been promoted in an unconventional way, it was not surprising that she had an improper relationship with Zhang Lixing.
However, after listening to Chang Shengjun's story, Zhang Wanzheng slowly shook his head from surprise at the beginning. He felt that the chaotic relationship between a man and a woman was absurd. At this moment, he understood why Chen Xing asked him to investigate Qin Peng.
"I was wondering why Secretary Chen would pay attention to a small cadre of the District Local Taxation Bureau. I didn't expect this." Zhang Wanzheng suddenly understood.
Qin Peng seemed insignificant, but he was a key person. Chen Xing said in a deep voice. This case wasn't small, and they could start with Qin Peng.
"Oh?" Zhang Wanzheng raised his eyebrows and pondered over Chen Xing's words. He immediately understood Chen Xing's intention. Chen Xing did not want to directly target Zhang Lixing now.
Zhang Wanzheng thought with a frown. If I only investigate Qin Peng, won't I end up alerting the enemy? "Should we report the case directly to Secretary Ge and let the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection intervene?"
"If the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection directly investigates a small cadre like Qin Peng, it will alert the enemy." Chen Xing shook his head and pointed to the mobile phone on the table. "The recording on the mobile phone is only our own judgment. For the time being, there is no other evidence to prove it. So, we can only start with Qin Peng first. As for whether investigating Qin Peng will alert Zhang Lixing and Wanzheng, after listening to Comrade Shengjun's description of the relationship between these three people, I think Liang Jing will at most notice something, but she probably won't have the courage to tell Zhang Lixing anything."
"That's right." Zhang Wanzheng nodded thoughtfully. He was only thinking about the importance of this case, which involved a municipal leader like Zhang Lixing, but Zhang Wanzheng ignored the authenticity of this recording.
"Comrade Wanzheng, I plan to hold an anti-corruption mobilization meeting in the city. On the one hand, it is indeed to meet the needs of fighting against corruption in the new situation. On the other hand, it can cover for you investigating Qin Peng." Chen Xing smiled.
"This is a good idea." Hearing Chen Xing's words, Zhang Wanzheng's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile. Chen Xing's move could achieve the purpose of confusing the public. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection would cooperate with Chen Xing's instructions to investigate several corruption cases. Under such a background, investigating Qin Peng would only make people think that Qin Peng was just one of many corruption cases. At most, Liang Jing would be vigilant. However, as Chang Shengjun just described the relationship between these three people, even if Liang Jing was vigilant, he would not dare to tell Zhang Lixing.
As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the door. The sound of high-heeled shoes was particularly obvious. Chen Xing heard He Li's voice. After careful identification, he found that the other person was Li Lanhua. Chen Xing couldn't help turning to Chang Shengjun and Zhang Wanzheng with a smile. "I have guests here. Comrade Wanzheng, I'll leave the matter of Qin Peng to you. If you need any help from Comrade Shengjun, just tell him directly."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Comrade Shengjun." Zhang Wanzheng glanced at Chang Shengjun and nodded.
At the door, He Li and Li Lanhua were already standing by the door, knocking on the door and looking inside. Seeing that there were guests in the living room, they didn't come in directly. Chen Xing stood up with a smile and invited them in.
"Secretary Chen, we'll go first." Zhang Wanzheng and Chang Shengjun also stood up.
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded slightly.
After sending Zhang Wanzheng and Li Lanhua away, Chen Xing turned to look at He Li and Li Lanhua and said with a smile, "Boss Li and Miss He are coming. Why don't you call me first?"
Sister Li and I came out for a walk in the evening. We know that you live here, so we came in to have a look. Won't we disturb Secretary Chen? " He Li glanced at Chen Xing with a smile. She and Li Lanhua stayed directly in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. During dinner, she heard that Chen Xing lived in the guest house. Li Lanhua stayed for a while after returning to her room and then proposed to go out for a walk. He Li didn't object. He guessed that Li Lanhua should have something else to talk with Chen Xing alone. After all, there were other cadres in the city at the dinner party in the evening.
In the evening, there was nothing to disturb. It was a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Chen Xing shook his head with a smile. "Please sit down."
Secretary Chen, do you live here alone without any servants? He Li looked around the small villa and saw that Chen Xing was alone, so he asked curiously.
"Miss He, what do you think we cadres are? Do you think that officials even need servants to serve them in their private lives?" Chen Xing said with a smile and poured a glass of water for the two of them.
"That's not true. But I heard that when cadres reach a certain level, the logistics department will arrange housekeeping staff, right? He Li asked with a smile.
"It depends on whether there's a need for it." Chen Xing smiled slightly. "I'm alone in Mount Wang. I'm the type of person who can eat alone and not starve. I don't need any housekeeping staff."
"Secretary Chen, you're really funny." Li Lanhua looked at Chen Xing with a smile and glanced at He Li's face. She didn't know whether Chen Xing's easy-going attitude was because of He Li or if Chen Xing was like this. Through He Li's introduction to Chen Xing, Li Lanhua didn't feel that there was anything strange about He Li and Chen Xing during the two meetings. However, if the two of them deliberately hid it, it would not be easy for an outsider like her to see anything. However, this had little to do with her.
After calming herself down, Li Lanhua thought about her company and said half-jokingly, "Secretary Chen, if our company really moves to Mount Wang, I wonder if Secretary Chen will have any additional support."
"What kind of additional support does Boss Li want?" Chen Xing glanced at him. Although there was still a smile on his face, when it came to business, Chen Xing had become much more serious.
"Let's not talk about the tax reduction and exemption and preferential policies on land. I'm looking forward to Secretary Chen's additional support." Li Lanhua laughed and pushed the question back to Chen Xing without a trace.
"The relationship between enterprises and the government is like the relationship between fish and water. Fish can't live without water, and there are fish in the water. We have always given our full support to the development of enterprises. If Boss Li's company moves to Mount Wang, you don't have to worry about anything else at all. You will definitely get the best treatment." Chen Xing said with a smile and looked at Li Lanhua calmly. Li Lanhua seemed to want to express something but was holding back. Chen Xing couldn't guess, so he could only express his sincerity.
Secretary Chen's metaphor was good. The relationship between enterprises and the government was like the relationship between fish and water. If the water was good, the fish were good. If the water was polluted, the fish would slowly die or escape from the polluted water. Li Lanhua said with deep emotion. Chen Xing's words hit the nail on the head. Her company in Nanzhou had been harassed by the government.
Chen Xing looked at Li Lanhua in surprise. He felt something from Li Lanhua's words. Chen Xing said with a smile, "I won't say anything else. I still say the same thing. Boss Li is welcome to invest in Mount Wang. In addition to enjoying the most preferential investment policies, our government will also create the best development environment for enterprises. Boss Li doesn't have to worry at all.
I'm afraid that if I plan to move the factory to Mount Wang, the district will not be willing to let me go. Li Lanhua said with a smile.
Boss Li, you can rest assured. If that happens, I will help Boss Li coordinate with Nanzhou. " Chen Xing said without hesitation. These days, the competition to attract investment was fierce. Although Li Lanhua's electronics factory was not very large, for Mount Wang, which was in urgent need of development, any foreign investment was worth fighting for. Even a mosquito's leg was meat. There was no reason to reject it. Moreover, according to his understanding of Li Lanhua's company, Li Lanhua's electronics factory was also an enterprise with an annual output value of tens of millions.
Li Lanhua looked at Chen Xing. Chen Xing had already shown his sincerity. Unless she directly said what conditions she needed, she really couldn't say anything else.
In silence, Li Lanhua had not made up her mind. The advantage of Mount Wang was that if she moved the enterprise here, she could save a lot of money in labor costs every year. For an OEM electronics factory like hers that needed a lot of labor, the labor costs alone could save a lot of expenses. This was what Li Lanhua valued and was tempted by. In addition, Mount Wang was vigorously attracting investment and giving the most preferential policies. Li Lanhua had nothing to be picky about in this regard.
Glancing at Chen Xing, Li Lanhua pondered. In fact, she valued Chen Xing's connections in the bureaucracy more. Having been in the business for so many years, Li Lanhua knew the importance of resources in the bureaucracy. It was impossible for an entrepreneur to focus solely on the business and ignore government affairs. During the festive season, he would have to personally pay a visit to various deities. Li Lanhua was a little annoyed by this.
…
At the beginning of December, the Wangshan Economic Work Conference, which had been prepared for many days, was held as scheduled. The conference was held in the city auditorium. The leaders of the four municipal teams attended the conference, and the conference was chaired by Mayor Li Kaishan.
The city auditorium was crowded. Most of the cadres of the districts and counties (cities) and the heads of the departments directly under the municipal government were present. Chen Xing and other major leaders of the city entered the conference room last. Except for Hong Zhengjie, the political commissar of the military subdivision, and Zhang Wanzheng, who had asked for leave from Chen Xing, all the other members of the Standing Committee were present.
Zhang Wanzheng had recently transferred capable investigators to prepare for the next anti-corruption work. Now everything was ready, and the time was ripe for him to hold an anti-corruption mobilization meeting. Several cases in Zhang Wanzheng's hands could be launched at any time. At that time, the investigation of Qin Peng would no longer attract attention. It could be said that all the preparatory work now was actually to prepare to fight the tiger. They would start from the periphery and slowly close the net.
In addition to implementing and learning the spirit of this year's economic work conference from the central government and the province, today's meeting was also to study and discuss the next step of development and next year's economic development goals in light of the actual situation of Wangshan.
Everyone took their seats in turn. As the leaders of the city came in, the auditorium became quiet. Chen Xing's eyes scanned the audience and quietly turned his head to look at Li Kaishan.
Li Kaishan made the opening speech. Chen Xing's eyes swept over Li Kaishan's face from time to time. He couldn't see through Li Kaishan. The two of them only kept in touch at work and did not interact in private.
The just-concluded economic work conference of the central government and the province has already shown that the macro situation next year will still be grim and regional competition will be more fierce. As the only city in the province where the per capita income of farmers has not exceeded 5,000 yuan, the tasks in front of us are more prominent and urgent. Li Kaishan spoke slowly with a solemn expression. Unlike Zhang Lixing and the others, he sat in this position and really wanted to do something. This was his last term as mayor. If he could finish this term smoothly, he would have to retire to the second line. If he couldn't finish it smoothly, there was only one possibility. A cold light flashed in Li Kaishan's eyes. He didn't look at Zhang Lixing, who was next to him. There was only one possibility, and that was that he and Zhang Lixing would perish together.
"This year, the city's GDP growth in the first three quarters of the year is still ranked last in the city. If nothing unexpected happens, when the year ends, the hat of the last place will fall on Mount Wang again. We have been wearing this hat for more than ten years, year after year. I don't know what everyone here is thinking, but I am ashamed and deeply ashamed. I have let down the four million people in the city, and I have let down this public office." Li Kaishan shouted. His loud and clear voice echoed in the auditorium. It was powerful and made people's hearts heavy.
Chen Xing's expression changed slightly. He turned his head and glanced at Li Kaishan. There was some surprise in his eyes. Li Kaishan's opening remarks surprised him. Just now, he was still scrutinizing Li Kaishan. At this moment, Chen Xing couldn't see through him.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was a little heavy. Li Kaishan's words suddenly intensified the atmosphere. Perhaps most of the cadres knew that Li Kaishan's prestige as mayor was not as high as that of Zhang Lixing, but there were not many who dared to contradict Li Kaishan face to face. Not everyone could reach Zhang Lixing's position and have the guts. For example, Yang Hongchao was the director of the Municipal Bureau and a member of Zhang Lixing's circle. He knew that they had something on Li Kaishan, but he only dared to show disdain to Li Kaishan in private. In front of Li Kaishan, Yang Hongchao didn't have the guts.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Zhang Lixing's eyes drifted over Li Kaishan's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't resonate with Li Kaishan's words at all. At this moment, he even sneered in his heart. He didn't know if Li Kaishan had taken the wrong medicine today.
In order to be an official in his life, he had sacrificed a lot. He had pretended to be weak, flattered, and flattered many people. It was not easy for him to climb to his current position and have power in his hands. However, he didn't plan for himself or for the welfare of his family. Did he really want to be a public servant who worked like a cow or a horse for the people? Zhang Lixing curled his lips.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of this year, we have achieved good results. The results of attracting investment have greatly exceeded those of the same period in previous years. This is a good result under the leadership of Secretary Chen, and it has also laid a good foundation for our start. Here, I think we should give a round of applause to Secretary Chen. Li Kaishan suddenly changed the topic.
Chen Xing was a little dazed. Li Kaishan's words had caught him off guard. Chen Xing only regained his senses when the thunderous applause resounded in his ears. He took a deep look at Li Kaishan with a playful look in his eyes.
Chen Xing raised his hand and signaled for the crowd to quiet down. He laughed and continued Li Kaishan's sentence. Comrade Kaishan, I hope you don't mind me interrupting.
Secretary Chen, please go ahead. Li Kaishan nodded with a smile.
Earlier, Comrade Kaishan had said that the fourth quarter of this year had started well, and the results of attracting investment had greatly exceeded those of the same period in previous years. I want to say that this is not my credit alone. It is the result of everyone's hard work, and all the staff in the City's Investment Promotion Agency should be praised. Chen Xing smiled and looked at the crowd. He is looking for the Chief of the Investment Promotion Agency, Xu Lizhu. Where is Comrade Xu Lizhu? Stand up. Mayor Li had just praised the Investment Promotion Agency, and I want to announce that the Investment Promotion Agency is the top contributor. Go back and tell your staff that the City will remember your credit and will hold a celebration party for you all.
Xu Lizhu is excited. She did not expect Chen Xing to praise the Investment Promotion Agency on such an occasion. Although he is not praising her personally, as the Chief of the Investment Promotion Agency and one of the few female leaders in the City, Xu Lizhu is feeling proud. She was praised by Chen Xing, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. To Xu Lizhu, this is more important than Li Kaishan.
Alright. That's all for now. Comrade Kaishan, please continue. Chen Xing smiled and nodded to Li Kaishan before moving the microphone away. Li Kaishan will be hosting today's meeting, and Chen Xing is not in a hurry to speak. He wants to wait for Li Kaishan to finish before he speaks.
While Chen Xing is speaking, Zhang Lixing is cursing in his heart. He looks at Li Kaishan. Zhang Lixing is cursing in his heart. Just a moment ago, he had said he is ashamed of himself, and now he is trying to flatter Chen Xing. F * * k! You think you are so arrogant?
Secretary Chen is right. All the staff in the Investment Promotion Agency had worked hard and deserve praise. Comrade Lizhu, Secretary Chen had said he will be holding a celebration party for you all. You must remember this is not only for you. All the staff in the Investment Promotion Agency will also be attending this dinner. You must ask Secretary Chen for this dinner on their behalf. Li Kaishan laughed.
As soon as Li Kaishan said this, the huge auditorium burst into laughter. The atmosphere became much more relaxed. Xu Lizhu was unexpectedly in the limelight today. Her face was full of smiles.
… …
In the Fengshan District Local Tax Sub-bureau, Qin Peng drove from the outside back to the unit. He got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth. Qin Peng's face was stiff, and the dark circles under his eyes were more obvious. During this time, he often suffered from insomnia, and the quality of his sleep was terrible.
Qin Peng touched his chest pocket. Just now, when he went out to investigate the tax evasion of a small enterprise, the other party's boss stuffed a big red packet into his arms. Qin Peng symbolically asked someone to check it and then left with his men. Big enterprises were not something that a small section chief like him could touch, but as for those small factories, he, as the first section chief of the local tax bureau, could do something for them. Tortured by the recording on the mobile phone, Qin Peng lost the taste of his food and couldn't sleep at night. These days, Qin Peng was like a broken pot. He wished he could plunder some money every day. In his opinion, now only money could give him a sense of security. Chang Shengjun held the mobile phone for a long time and didn't move. Qin Peng didn't know what was going on, but this time bomb always made him afraid. Qin Peng even fantasized that he could get a sum of money and then directly run away, so that he wouldn't have to worry all day.
After a few steps, he was stopped in front of him. Qin Peng is smoking with his head down. He looks up and sees two strange faces. They are not from the bureau. Qin Peng immediately scolds them. Don't you have eyes? Why are you blocking the way?
Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. You are Qin Peng, right? Come with us. One of them shows his ID to Qin Peng, and there is some ridicule in his eyes.
