"Secretary, Mayor Li is coming?" Huang Jianghua asked after Chen Xing hung up the phone.
"Well, he will come later." Chen Xing nodded and looked at the time again. It was about seven o 'clock. Li Kaishan should have had dinner for a while. He came to see him at this time. The time he chose was quite interesting.
"Secretary, when Mayor Li comes, Xiao Li and I will eat at another table." Huang Jianghua said.
"Okay." Chen Xing nodded and said nothing more.
When the barbecue was served, Li Yong looked around and said with a smile, "Secretary, there is a restaurant nearby. I will get some stir-fried dishes, so that we won't be full just by eating barbecue."
After finishing his words, Li Yong got up and left. Chen Xing looked at the street outside from time to time. The barbecue stall was placed next to the road, so he could clearly see the cars coming from both sides. Chen Xing didn't know how long it would take for Li Kaishan to arrive, but Li Kaishan was very familiar with the urban area, so it would be easy for him to find this place.
When Chen Xing was thinking, Li Kaishan had already come out of the Municipal Government in a car. Li Kaishan, who had dinner in the office, didn't look relaxed at this time. He stayed in the office until so late not to work overtime, but to hesitate whether to come to Chen Xing. As for the matter of Qin Peng, since Li Kaishan had promised Liang Jing, he would help him. But whether to ask Chen Xing or Zhang Wanzheng, Li Kaishan hadn't decided yet. Li Kaishan connected the matter of Qin Peng with the mobile phone recording that Liang Jing had mentioned. However, after thinking for a long time, Li Kaishan finally made a decision.
Perhaps it was a little abrupt, but Li Kaishan also felt an inexplicable urgency.
On Changshan Street in Wangshan City, Li Kaishan didn't know where the barbecue stall was, but he was very familiar with the streets of the city. It wasn't difficult for him to find Chen Xing.
When the car arrived at Changshan Street, Li Kaishan asked the driver to drive at the slowest speed and keep his eyes open. He also looked out of the window. There were only two or three places with barbecue on this street, so it was not difficult to find one.
The mayor seems to be here. Is that Secretary Chen? After searching for a while, the driver soon saw Chen Xing's figure. He turned around and glanced at Li Kaishan.
Looking in the direction that the driver was pointing, Li Kaishan took a closer look and confirmed that it was Chen Xing. Li Kaishan nodded. "I'll get off first. You find a parking place."
Quickly getting out of the car, Li Kaishan walked towards Chen Xing. He saw two plates of barbecue and a few side dishes on Chen Xing's table. Li Kaishan was not too surprised at the moment. When Li Kaishan heard on the phone that Chen Xing was eating at a roadside barbecue stall, he was already surprised. To be honest, he was surprised that Chen Xing would eat at such a roadside stall. This made him feel that he had a better understanding of Chen Xing.
He glanced to the side and saw that Chen Xing's driver and secretary were sitting aside. Li Kaishan restrained his expression, walked over and sat down. He smiled and said, "Secretary Chen is really in a good mood. He came here to enjoy food.
Comrade Kaishan came at the right time. Let's eat together. " Chen Xing smiled. There were two bottles of beer on the table, one of which had been opened. Chen Xing picked up the beer and glanced at Li Kaishan. "Have a drink?"
"Since Secretary Chen invited me, I'll drink with him." Li Kaishan nodded with a smile.
After filling the glass with beer, Li Kaishan glanced at Chen Xing and looked around. He looked a little emotional. He found that he didn't know how long it had been since he sat on the roadside to eat like this. Since he became a cadre, from a small leader to the current mayor of a city, Li Kaishan found that he really hadn't eaten in such a place for many years.
"What is Comrade Kaishan thinking about?" Seeing Li Kaishan's sad face, Chen Xing smiled and said, "It's nothing.
Sitting in such a place, I suddenly feel a little emotional. " Li Kaishan shook his head.
"If our cadre goes to less hotels and more places like this to eat, maybe it will be very different." Chen Xing smiled faintly.
"Secretary Chen is right. Our cadre should really change their thinking and style of work." Li Kaishan nodded. "This time, the leading cadre took the lead to go to the village and let the majority of cadre sink down. They can really eat and live with the people, experience their lives, understand their thoughts, and understand their suffering. I think it will definitely be conducive to the cadre's style of work."
"Our cadre really needs to be more down-to-earth. They can't always put themselves in a high position." Chen Xing smiled and chatted with Li Kaishan for a while. Chen Xing knew that the topic had unknowingly strayed. His eyes stayed on Li Kaishan's face for a moment. Chen Xing guessed the purpose of Li Kaishan's visit.
"The people are the masters. In fact, we are just public servants who serve them. Unfortunately, few cadre can really take this to heart." Li Kaishan shook his head, picked up the wine, and said with a smile, "Secretary Chen, it seems that since you came to Mount Wang, we haven't had a drink in private, have we? It's rare to have such an opportunity today. I have to propose a toast to you. "
"Oh, since Comrade Kaishan proposes a toast to me, I have to drink this toast." Chen Xing smiled and raised his glass.
The two of them toasted. Li Kaishan picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Chen Xing and saw that Chen Xing really drank it in one gulp. Li Kaishan smiled and said, "It's nice to drink with Secretary Chen."
"Comrade Kaishan, in your generation, you may not have the memories of eating barbecue, drinking beer, and listening to pop songs on the roadside when you were young. But in my generation, these memories almost accompany us as we grow up. Now that we eat barbecue, I can't help but recall my youth." Chen Xing laughed heartily and looked at Li Kaishan. "In fact, I want to tell Comrade Kaishan that it's not bad to eat barbecue occasionally. Come on, try some."
As Chen Xing spoke, he picked up the mutton skewer and handed it to Li Kaishan. "If Comrade Kaishan eats it in the evening, it's a good taste."
"Secretary Chen is so enthusiastic. I'll be embarrassed if I don't eat it." Li Kaishan nodded with a smile. He took the mutton skewer from Chen Xing and looked at Chen Xing's face. This was undoubtedly the best time to test him. Li Kaishan no longer hesitated and pretended to smile naturally. "By the way, have Secretary Chen heard of a person?"
"Who?" Chen Xing looked at Li Kaishan in confusion.
"There is a person named Qin Peng in the Fengshan District Local Tax Sub-bureau. Has Secretary Chen heard of this person?" Asked Li Kaishan. He stared at Chen Xing's face closely, for fear of missing any subtle changes.
Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection had just started to investigate Qin Peng. Chen Xing did not expect that Li Kaishan would come to him to test him. This was beyond his expectation. According to the information he had, Qin Peng only had a relationship with Liang Jing and had nothing to do with Li Kaishan. Li Kaishan should not directly pay attention to a small cadre like Qin Peng.
Chen Xing did not know that his momentary absent-mindedness was seen by Li Kaishan, who had been watching him carefully. He smiled and said, "Who is Qin Peng? How could I have heard of him? Why did Comrade Kaishan suddenly ask about this person? What's wrong with this person? "" Nothing.
Qin Peng has been Liang Jing's classmate for many years. Yesterday, he was taken away by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Liang Jing came to me and asked me to go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to criticize him. " Li Kaishan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xing's eyes lit up. He glanced at Li Kaishan and Chen Xing thought that it would be strange if he would believe his nonsense. If there was no other reason, how could an office director like Liang Jing order Li Kaishan, the mayor? At this moment, Chen Xing could see that Li Kaishan had come to see him specifically for Qin Peng. Although Li Kaishan tried to cover it up, how could Chen Xing not notice it?
The key to Qin Peng's case was the phone recording. At this moment, Chen Xing had thought a lot in his head. Inadvertently, his eyes swept across Li Kaishan's face and became more solemn.
This female cadre was more careful in her work than men. She also had some advantages that male cadre didn't have. However, there was also an obvious disadvantage, which was that female cadre tended to be emotional. Liang Jing said that she and Qin Peng had been classmates for more than ten years. She knew Qin Peng very well and thought that he wouldn't do anything against the law. Thus, she talked to me for a long time in my office and asked me to help her ask him. I directly criticized her and said that it was hard to know what was in a man's heart. As a cadre, she shouldn't look at the problem subjectively. Li Kaishan smiled and seemed to be talking to Chen Xing casually.
Comrade Kaishan was right. When we look at problems, we should start from reality and pay attention to real evidence, rather than subjective understanding. Chen Xing said with a faint smile.
I completely agreed with Secretary Chen. Li Kaishan nodded in agreement and echoed Chen Xing's words. Li Kaishan calmly withdrew his gaze. He had gotten the answer he wanted from some subtle reactions of Chen Xing.
Well, for Comrade Kaishan's words, we have to drink again. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Let's drink again. Li Kaishan was all smiles. This time, he snatched the wine bottle and poured a glass for Chen Xing before pouring a glass for himself.
The two of them said goodbye again. Li Kaishan drank the wine, and his expression changed. Chen Xing's reaction made him judge that Chen Xing knew Qin Peng, which made him more and more sure that Chen Xing had already known about the phone recording that Liang Jing had mentioned. This time, Qin Peng was taken away for investigation by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it was more likely that Chen Xing had instructed him to do so.
Li Kaishan guessed in his heart. He was thinking about whether he should make further tests. Tonight, he had gained something. Although he knew that Chen Xing would not easily believe what he said, Li Kaishan was not afraid of Chen Xing's guesses.
While he was contemplating, there was suddenly a hurried voice beside him. The owner of the barbecue restaurant suddenly came over and said anxiously, "Excuse me, guys, the urban management is here. Please move aside. I'll pack up and leave."
Urban management? Chen Xing and Li Kaishan looked at each other in dismay. They turned their heads to the front and saw that the city enforcement officers were collecting the stalls of others and were heading towards them. There were already some stalls that were hurriedly packing up their stalls. However, Chen Xing was surprised to find that there were also some stall owners who did not move and were still sitting there as if nothing had happened.
"It seems that we have to pack up and eat somewhere else." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile and stood up.
"Guys, I'm really sorry. It's not easy for us ordinary people to make money. If we are blocked by these urban management, we will have worked for nothing for half a month." The owner of the barbecue stall explained to Chen Xing and others with a wry smile. The owner was a young man in his thirties. After looking back again, he didn't have time to say anything. He pushed the barbecue cart, packed up a few simple tables, and was about to rush into the alley next to him.
Before the owner of the barbecue stall could take a few steps, a law enforcement vehicle from the urban management drove over and stopped in front of him. After all, a two-legged vehicle was no match for a four-wheeled vehicle. A few uniformed assistants jumped out of the vehicle and stopped the owner of the barbecue stall.
"Wang Ming, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" One of the assistants stared at the owner of the barbecue stall and smiled. It seemed that they knew each other.
"Brother Zhao, you … you came out to patrol again tonight." The owner of the barbecue stall was smiling, but he looked like he was about to cry. He knew that he had been stopped and that he would have to pay another thousand and eight hundred dollars.
"Cut the crap. I told you that you can't set up a stall here. You still want to do it. Do you want us to confiscate your barbecue equipment or pay the fine yourself?" The assistant sneered. When he saw the owner of the barbecue stall rolling his eyes, a trace of mockery flashed across his eyes. "Wang Ming, you ran away faster than a rabbit last month. Don't think that you can get away with less money. Tonight, you are on your own."
When the owner of the barbecue stall, whose name was Wang Ming, heard the assistant's words, the corner of his mouth twitched. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get away with even a thousand and eight hundred dollars. His eyes widened.
"What are you staring at? Hurry up and pay up, or leave this barbecue cart. Don't think that this barbecue cart is worthless. Leave the cart and leave. Let me tell you, if you don't follow the rules and want to set up a stall here in the future, don't even think about it." The assistant said sternly.
