The night in the town was quiet with some noise. There was a street in the center of the town, which was the liveliest place. Li Yong found a place to park the car. There were not many cars in the town, and there were no designated parking spaces. The two sides of the street were quite spacious, and they could find a parking space anywhere.
The town was quite lively at night. Wei Sida walked beside Chen Xing and said with a smile.
There were no entertainment activities in the countryside, and there was only one street in the center of the town. Many people didn't want to stay at home at night, so they would go out to play in the town. Lin Siyu interrupted.
Actually, big cities had their own benefits, and small towns also had their own benefits. The border town that Shen Congwen wrote about was just a small town in Xiangxi. Although this small town was not considered a small town, it was still a place with verdant hills and limpid waters. The people were simple and honest. Some people who did not like the hustle and bustle of big cities preferred to stay in such a small town. Chen Xing said with a smile.
Walking on the streets of the town, there was only a vertical street pattern of the town. Both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of small shops. In front of a five-story building, there was a large LED light sign that said 'Big Stone Town Hotel', which was quite a bit imposing.
Although the sparrow was small, it had all the essentials. Chen Xing walked on the street and said with a smile.
It was certainly not comparable to the town, but the people in the village didn't have so many requirements. As long as there was a place to play, they would be satisfied. Lin Siyu smiled and remembered that when she was a child, every time she came out of the village and went to the town, the feeling was like a countryman coming to the city. Everything was fresh. She wondered why it was so lively here. The houses were more beautiful than those in the village, and there were many things to buy. Now thinking back, Lin Siyu still couldn't help smiling.
As Lin Siyu spoke, she quietly looked back. She saw Lin Yu-yu and her colleague from the police station following behind them. Lin Siyu quietly turned back again. She didn't know what her best friend was up to. She knew that there was an arcade in front of them. It had been opened in town for a few years. When she was still in middle school, she would often see it when she wandered around town. She didn't know why Lin Yu-yu wanted her to bring Chen Xing to that arcade. She didn't know if she could find a chance later.
As they walked on the street, Chen Xing saw a stall selling maltose by the roadside. He couldn't help but stop and smile. He had eaten that a lot when he was young. He really missed it.
Secretary, do you want to buy one to try it and relive the fun of your childhood? Wei Sida said with a smile.
No, no, only kids would be interested in this. Chen Xing waved his hand and smiled.
After a pause, they walked forward again. Chen Xing observed both sides of the street. He was not so much strolling as observing the people's livelihood through the stalls and shops on the street. Dashi Town was a relatively large town in Huishan County. It was also a microcosm of the hundreds of towns in Wangshan City. The town lacked the support of the real economy and there were not many private enterprises. This was the essential reason why the development of the town was difficult. How to activate the private economy, develop township enterprises, and promote the development of the town was a difficult problem for Chen Xing, the leader of the Municipal Party Committee. To solve this problem, he needed to gather the wisdom of everyone.
The quarrel broke Chen Xing's train of thought. Looking ahead, he saw a game hall. There were people fighting at the entrance of the game hall, but very soon, someone came out of the game hall to stop them and chase them away. The people who were fighting were quite fierce, but when they were stopped by the person in charge of the game hall, they didn't dare to say anything.
Chen Xing and the others walked forward. The arcade was rather large, and there were quite a number of people playing inside. Chen Xing lifted his foot and walked in. He recalled the time when he was in middle school and high school. With just a few dollars, he could play the King of Fighters in the arcade for half a day without spending it all. Of course, the prerequisite was that he was an expert, and he could clear the game with just one dollar.
He went in, he went in. After seeing Chen Xing enter the game hall by himself, Lin Yu-yu, who was following behind him, exclaimed in excitement. She nudged Zheng Hui, who was beside her, and her face was full of smiles. "Brother Zheng, did you see that? It's so easy to call you here."
It wasn't that there weren't a lot of people in the arcade, but rather, there were a lot of them. After Chen Xing entered, he realized that he couldn't see the inside of the arcade from the outside. Several arcade machines were surrounded by people, blocking his line of sight. He couldn't see clearly what the people were playing.
A teenager was playing the King of Fighters on a game machine. Chen Xing stopped and looked at the boy who seemed to be obsessed with the game. The boy kept pressing the buttons with his hand. A smile appeared on Chen Xing's face. The lyrics of Huang An's "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies Dream" suddenly appeared in his mind. "Yesterday was like the east flowing water …"
Chen Xing watched in silence. Wei Sida and others also didn't say anything.
Wei Sida looked at the game hall. It was at least a hundred square meters. In a small town, such a game hall was obviously of a large scale. Wei Sida was not interested in such a noisy place. If Chen Xing hadn't come in, Wei Sida wouldn't have been willing to come in at all.
He turned to look at Lin Siyu. His eyes swept over Lin Siyu's curvy upper body. When he was bored, it was easier to kill time by looking at this cute little girl.
Restraining his gaze, Wei Sida didn't stare directly at Lin Siyu. He paid attention to maintaining his image. Especially when Chen Xing was next to him, Wei Sida dared not to look too presumptuous.
Seeing that Lin Siyu kept looking back, Wei Sida looked back in confusion. When he saw Lin Yu-yu, Wei Sida was slightly stunned. This girl seemed familiar. He seemed to have seen her in the village today. Why was she here?
He squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Yu-yu. She was another beautiful girl. She was not as beautiful as Lin Siyu, but she had a heroic spirit. This made Wei Sida couldn't help but take a few more glances. He secretly wondered if the mountains and rivers in this small town were easier to nurture. Look at the two girls he saw, they were both very beautiful.
Wei Sida's thoughts ran wild. This kind of beautiful girl was like a high-quality jade. It needed to be played with more to gain charm.
Chen Xing walked slowly, and Wei Sida hurried to follow him. The game hall was foul and noisy. The smoke almost filled the entire hall. Coupled with the shouting and vulgar words coming from time to time, Wei Sida kept shaking his head. He didn't know why Chen Xing came to such a place. What was so interesting about a child's game hall?
There were not many places to play in this small town. It seemed that this game hall had become the most lively place. Chen Xing smiled.
Isn't it? I saw this place was the most popular place along the way. Wei Sida smiled and echoed.
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the game machine that was surrounded by many people. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was actually a slot machine for gambling. There were at least seven or eight machines in a row. Although not all of them were occupied, there were at least three machines that were occupied, and there were people watching from the side.
Chen Xing frowned slightly. This kind of gambling slot machine was explicitly prohibited by the state. The game hall had to obtain a business license from the Ministry of Culture. This kind of slot machine could never pass the examination. However, Chen Xing had played in a game hall when he was young. He knew that the boss of this kind of shop usually put the slot machine in secret and only put it away when someone came to inspect it. However, the people who could open such a shop were basically people with some connections. The relationship between the public security department and the Ministry of Culture was usually good.
At this moment, seeing seven or eight slot machines placed here, Chen Xing didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking.
He had lost seven or eight thousand yuan, and he was still playing. There was an uproar next to the machine with the most onlookers. Someone murmured.
This kind of game couldn't be stopped. After winning, they wanted to win more. After losing, they were even more unwilling. They wanted to win back, but as they lost, they would lose all their money and would not stop until they lost everything. Someone replied in a low voice.
It was said that at noon, a teenager stole thousands of yuan from his family and lost it all. The adult came to the game hall to ask for the money back, saying that the child was ignorant and stole the family's money to play. The money had just been taken out to treat the old man's illness. He hoped the boss could return it, but he was scolded. Some people on the side said it as a joke, with a gloating look. Just like the mentality of most people, as long as it was not related to their own family, even if it was something worthy of sympathy, they could treat it as a joke. They were indifferent and numb.
They couldn't control their own child. After losing money, they still wanted the boss to return it. They could only blame themselves. Some people smiled and curled their lips. Didn't they know who the boss of this game hall was? Last time, someone lost over a hundred thousand yuan and went crazy. He threatened the boss to return the money. In the end, he didn't get the money back. After being beaten up, he was thrown into the police station. It was said that he was also tortured badly in the police station.
In a few small rooms at the back of the game hall, people gathered in twos and threes to play mahjong or cards. On the table were scattered hundred-yuan bills. It seemed that the game was quite big. In one of the more well-decorated and spacious rooms, the police station chief, Ye Peicai, was looking at the cards in his hand with a cigarette in his mouth. On the table in front of him, there was a stack of hundred-yuan bills. It was estimated to be more than ten thousand yuan.
Ye Peicai often came here to play cards. The small rooms here could be entered from the back through a secret door. Ye Peicai would come here to play when he was free at night. There were several mahjong friends. Some were rich and powerful bosses in the town, and some were the leaders of the town. For example, tonight, he was sitting opposite the deputy mayor, Wang Fuda. As for the other two, they were two rich families in the town. The four of them were playing ordinary fast poker. Tonight, Ye Peicai had already won more than ten thousand yuan. The other three had lost. Among them, the deputy mayor, Wang Fuda had lost the most. He had already lost more than five thousand yuan. Ye Peicai's mood couldn't be better.
Damn it, if I lose again, I won't play anymore. After Wang Fuda lost again, he cursed and swore.
Don't, Old Wang. You won a lot in the past. Losing this little is nothing. Ye Peicai said with a smile.
You're the one who won the most. All the money is in your pocket. No wonder you said that. Wang Fuda laughed and scolded. Treat me to lunch tomorrow. Who asked you to win so much money at night? Look, how long has it been? It's only seven o 'clock, and you've won so much.
You're right. It's still early. The game isn't over yet. It's hard to say who will win in the end. Ye Peicai laughed. His luck tonight was very good. Every card he drew was very smooth. Ye Peicai was secretly happy.
I heard that the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is coming down. Director Ye, Mayor Wang, how dare you come out to play cards at night? The person sitting on the left said with a smile.
The big leader is coming down to the village, not the town. What does this have to do with us playing cards at night? I can't eat, sleep, and have fun every time the leader comes down. Ye Peicai smiled and twitched his mouth.
There was nowhere to go in the small mountain village at night. Maybe the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee would come out to the town. The person who spoke said again.
If he wanted to go, he had to go to the county. Where could he go in the town? Ye Peicai smiled. We feel that the town is quite lively, but in the eyes of the leader, it's still a remote place.
After Ye Peicai finished speaking, he laughed. One Dragon, I won again. Come, give me the money.
Director Ye, if you win again, I'll have to pawn my pants tonight. Wang Fuda scolded.
Haha, I don't need you to pawn my pants. If you really lose all the money you brought tonight, I'll lend you some. Ye Peicai smiled happily.
Everyone was gambling in full swing at the back. The Game Hall in front was also very lively. There were people playing games, playing slot machines, and onlookers watching. From time to time, there would be some noise. The noisy Game Hall seemed to be out of place in this peaceful town.
Wei Sida had been standing with Chen Xing for a while now. The players on the slot machines had lost quite a lot of money. At this moment, the player in front of them, which was the most crowded slot machine, had already lost more than ten thousand yuan. He had lost all the money he brought with him. If he wanted to continue playing, he touched his pocket and stood up with a blank look on his face.
Wei Sida looked at the scene in front of him and then glanced at Chen Xing's expression. He couldn't help but say, "Secretary Chen, should we call the cadres of Huishan County?"
"Yes, this kind of game hall should be banned." Chen Xing's face darkened. He had heard the other people's comments just now. The child had stolen the money his parents used to pay for their elder's medical expenses to gamble and lost everything. In Chen Xing's eyes, this was very abominable. Minors were not yet fully capable of civil conduct, and it was illegal for a game store to operate slot machines. Yet, the store did not stop a child from taking a large sum of money to gamble. Such a black-hearted business owner should be arrested and held accountable.
When Chen Xing was young, he went to play games and knew that all such shops would secretly put slot machines for people to gamble. This was because this was the biggest source of profit. No boss of a game hall would say no to money. As for the people who brought money to play, as long as there was money to be made, the boss would not stop them, let alone teenagers. As long as there was money to be made, the boss would not stop them. The shop was to make money. Only a fool would stop customers from gambling with money.
Chen Xing might not have felt anything in the past, but now he was a party member and a leader. Seeing Chen Xing's situation again, Chen Xing would not sit back and do nothing.
After receiving Chen Xing's order, Wei Sida had already picked up his phone to look for the phone number of the main leaders of Huishan County. He didn't have the phone number of the cadres in the town. As the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, the phone number of the cadres in the town was at most saved for officials at the county level.
"Brother Zheng, did you see that? The person next to Secretary Chen is on the phone. He should be asking someone to investigate this game hall." Lin Yu-yu's face lit up. She and Zheng Hui pretended to be bystanders and stood behind Chen Xing. Now that Wei Sida was on the phone, Lin Yu-yu couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Listening carefully, Wei Sida was indeed talking about some game hall and asking someone to investigate. Lin Yu-yu was so happy that she was about to pull Zheng Hui's arm. But the next moment, Lin Yu-yu was stunned. She saw a young man walking by and slapped the back of Wei Sida's head. Lin Yu-yu, who was very close to him, could hear the crisp sound.
Wei Sida's glasses fell to the ground. Someone who was watching the commotion accidentally stepped back and stepped on Wei Sida's glasses, shattering them into pieces.
Wei Sida was stunned. The young man's slap was not light. He was already very nearsighted, so when his glasses flew out, his vision blurred, and the world spun.
The sudden incident caught Chen Xing and the others by surprise, so much so that they didn't even have the time to stop it. They didn't even know what had happened. Why did that young man in his twenties with dyed red hair slap Wei Sida for no reason? They didn't even hear Wei Sida cursing, "Are you calling the police?" If you don't want to play, then get out. You're here to cause trouble. So what if the police are here? " "I'll still beat you up later."
Lin Yu-yu and Zheng Hui were the first to react. Zheng Hui stepped forward and blocked the young man, shouting, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, Lin Yu-yu stood in front of Chen Xing. This position allowed her to protect Chen Xing immediately. As for Wei Sida, she couldn't take care of him at the moment. Her only task was to protect Chen Xing.
Chen Xing didn't know that the young girl was protecting him. At this moment, his face was livid. Wei Sida, who was dizzy from the slap, looked like he was going to eat someone alive. Wei Sida pointed at the young man, trembling with anger. As the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of the General Office, he had always enjoyed the compliments and flattery of others. In Huishan, even the Secretary of the County Party Committee and the County Head of Huishan County had to talk to him politely and even try to please him. He didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face in a small game hall in a small town. If this were to spread, he, the Director of the Municipal Party Committee, would become a joke.
"You … you …" Wei Sida wanted to curse, but he suddenly remembered that Chen Xing was beside him. He was afraid that he would leave an indecent impression on Chen Xing, so he swallowed his words. However, his stomach was filled with anger, and his chest was heaving violently.
"Comrade Sida, are you okay?" Chen Xing looked at Wei Sida with concern.
"No … I'm okay." Wei Sida was so angry that his face turned pale. He suppressed his anger and answered Chen Xing.
"It's good that you're okay." Chen Xing nodded slightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the young man say, "Oh, you have an accomplice, right? No wonder you're so arrogant and dare to make trouble in our store. I think you're tired of living. How dare you come and make trouble without asking around?"
The young man said and shouted, "Li Yuan, where the hell have you been? Didn't you see that someone came to make trouble in the store? Hurry up and call your brothers to come here."
It's here, it's here. Which bastard has eaten a leopard's heart and dared to come and cause trouble? A young man who was sitting in front of a King of Fighters fighting with someone in the hall responded and stood up slowly. His hair was also dyed in various colors, and he walked slowly towards Chen Xing. At this moment, a few young men who were playing games also surrounded them. It seemed that they were in cahoots.
"Who's making trouble? Are you looking for a beating?" One of them stared at Chen Xing and the others with an unfriendly expression.
"Don't mess around. I'm from the police station." Zheng Hui said loudly. Seeing a young man coming over with an iron rod from the corner of the game hall, Zheng Hui's expression froze. This group of punks in the town usually came to this game hall to play when they had nothing to do. They could be considered as the guards of this game hall. The boss allowed them to play for free, so they had to stand up if something happened. Only the young man who had just beaten up Wei Sida was hired by the boss of this game hall to watch over the store. The others were not.
Zheng Hui had his fair share of encounters with this bunch of hooligans in town. He knew that these hooligans were always involved in fights and brawls. Sometimes, they wouldn't hold back. Thus, he revealed his identity without any hesitation, fearing that a conflict might break out. If Chen Xing were to be injured, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Zheng?" One of the young men stared at Zheng Hui and immediately recognized him. Zheng Hui was not wearing a police uniform, so he almost did not recognize him.
"Feng Feng, it's none of your business. Go away." Zheng Hui looked at the young man and said sternly.
"So what if you're from the police station? So what? Your director and Mayor Wang are still playing cards at the back. Do you think we're afraid of you? " The young man who had beaten up Wei Sida raised his eyebrows when he heard that Zheng Hui was from the police station. He was not afraid at all. No police in the town dared to investigate this game hall. He knew the power of the boss. Besides, he had also heard that the director of the police station, Ye Peicai, also had shares in this game hall. He could be considered one of the bosses. Now that it was just a police officer from the police station in front of him, why would he be afraid? On the contrary, he felt that Zheng Hui must have taken the wrong medicine. How dare he come to find trouble in this game hall?
"This is lawless. A game hall in a town dares to be so rampant and openly operate slot machines and other gambling games that are prohibited by the state. Do you think no one can investigate your store?" Wei Sida's face was gloomy. He only knew that this young man was the boss of the game hall. He was already furious. Ever since he could remember, this was the first time that he had been slapped on the head so hard. As the director of the Municipal Party Committee, he was slapped on the head by someone who looked like a hooligan. When Wei Sida thought of this, he was so angry that he almost trembled.
"If you're so capable, come and investigate. Believe it or not, I'll slap you on the head again." The young man glared at Wei Sida.
"Shut up. Believe it or not, I'll detain you for a few days if you talk nonsense again." Zheng Hui's gaze swept across Wei Sida's face. When he saw that the director of the Municipal Party Committee was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, Zheng Hui's face twitched. In fact, he could not help but want to laugh, but at this moment, he did not dare to laugh.
In the small room behind the game hall, a girl in charge of the game hall's cashier ran back and pushed open the room where Ye Peicai and the others were playing cards. When she saw that a few people were looking over, the girl shrunk her head and hurriedly said, "Director Ye, someone is causing trouble in front, and there are police officers from your station."
"What did you say?" Ye Peicai was stunned. He, who had just received a bad hand, rolled his eyes and immediately slammed the cards on the table. He cursed, "Motherf * cker, which bastard is crazy? I'll go and take a look."
As Ye Peicai spoke, he put the money on the table into his pocket and walked out. When Wang Fuda saw this, he pouted. He was really lousy tonight. He did not have any good cards. Now that he saw that Ye Peicai clearly did not want to play anymore, he secretly cursed at this bastard's bad behavior. However, he did not win a single round tonight, so he did not want to play anymore. He threw the cards on the table and walked out. In the end, the two people looked at each other in dismay. One of them, who was holding a good hand, didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he threw the cards on the table. "These officials are really f * cking f * ckers. Their behavior is worse than their character."
"Do they have character?" The other person shook his head.
"Heh, you're right. These f * ckers really don't have any character." The person who scolded first laughed.
Ye Peicai came out of the small room, walked along the corridor, and entered the game hall from the back door. He was in a good mood after winning money, so he walked with vigor. His eyes were wide open, and he was about to see which officer dared to come to the game hall to cause trouble. He was prepared to teach him a lesson. When he walked over and saw Zheng Hui, Ye Peicai's eyes popped out. He quickly walked over and scolded, "Zheng Hui, you bastard, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to protect Secretary Chen?"
After Ye Peicai finished speaking, he saw that Lin Yu-yu was also by Zheng Hui's side. Ye Peicai was in a trance for a moment. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he already said, "And you, Xiao Lin, why are you here? I say, what's wrong with you two? I asked you to protect Secretary Chen. This is a political mission. Did you ignore it? Who asked you to come back? Why are you still here …"
Before Ye Peicai finished speaking, his eyes finally fell on Chen Xing. His Adam's apple moved, and his neck was long, like a rooster that had been pinched by the neck. His eyes were wide open.
Ye Peicai did not recognize Wei Sida, the general office director, but he recognized Chen Xing's face. He had seen this face many times in the newspapers and on TV. He asked Zheng Hui and Lin Yu-yu to remember what Chen Xing looked like, so he gave them a copy of the Mount Wang Evening News with Chen Xing's speech. There was a colorful portrait of Chen Xing on it, so it couldn't be clearer.
At this moment, when he saw Chen Xing, Ye Peicai's mind went blank. At this moment, he almost stopped thinking.
Chen … Secretary Chen. Ye Peicai walked over. Chen Xing did not recognize a nobody like him, but there was no way Ye Peicai could just pretend that he did not see him and walk away. If he had not yelled at Zheng Hui and Lin Yuyu and had seen Chen Xing first, he could have sneaked away. But now, he was on the verge of tears. Ye Peicai wished he could buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Huh? Chen Xing stared at Ye Peicai, and then looked at Zheng Hui and Lin Yu-yu. He frowned slightly.
Secretary Chen, I am … I am Ye Peicai, the director of the Big Stone Town Police Station. Ye Peicai squeezed a smile on his face and said with what he thought was the most brilliant smile.
Oh, someone just said that you are the director who played cards and gambled in the back. Chen Xing stared at Ye Peicai.
Secretary Chen, no … no, I'm … Ye Peicai stammered as he tried to explain himself. But in the end, he couldn't find the words to say. Lowering his head, he glanced around. He didn't know who had said those words, but if he were to find out later, he would definitely teach that person a lesson. There was also Zheng Hui and Lin Yuyu. When Ye Peicai saw them, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He had ordered them to protect Chen Xing, but when Chen Xing came out of town at night, the two of them didn't even report to him.
You are the director of the police station. There is such an illegal game hall in your jurisdiction. Not only are you indifferent, but you are also gambling here. Where is your spirit as a director? Where is your sense of responsibility? You are even a director. It is simply a stain to your police hat. Wei Sida angrily rebuked Ye Peicai. Tonight, he was more angry than anyone else.
The scene was so quiet that even the sound of a needle could be heard. Many people in the town knew Ye Peicai, the director of the police station. He was a very powerful person in the Big Stone Town. In a town far away from the county, it could be said that the sky was high and the emperor was far away. The leader of the town was completely the local emperor. Moreover, the police station was under the dual leadership of the county bureau and the town. Ye Peicai, the director of the county bureau, had a strong backing, so sometimes he did not have to pay too much respect to the main leader of the town.
At this moment, Ye Peicai was behaving like a slave. In the eyes of the surrounding onlookers, it was a very strange sight. Some of them clicked their tongues in wonder as they sized up Chen Xing and his group. Some of them were secretly laughing. Clearly, the commoners were happy to see such a sight.
Lin Yu-yu and Zheng Hui did not say anything at this time. They stood aside. Lin Yu-yu, who had always respected Ye Peicai and felt that this director was very upright, completely believed what Zheng Hui said to him.
There were more and more people watching the scene. Chen Xing and his group had to come out of the game hall in advance. When the cadres of the county arrived, it was already forty to fifty minutes later. The secretary of the county committee, Zhou Lijia, and the county head, Yang Xiang, both came. Even the secretary of the county political and legal committee and the director of the public security bureau, Sun Jian, also came. Wei Sida said on the phone that he wanted the public security bureau to send people to investigate a game hall. The leader of the public security bureau was directly related to this matter.
When they figured out what was going on, they looked at Ye Peicai with murderous eyes, especially Sun Jian, the director of the county public security bureau. The way he looked at Ye Peicai had already announced that Ye Peicai's political future was' dead '.
They found a place to sit down. Chen Xing talked with the cadres of the county about the development of the towns and villages. He talked about actively developing the towns and villages' economy, improving the people's living standards, enriching the people's spiritual and cultural life, and carrying out more cultural activities in the towns and villages. These were all things that had hundreds of advantages and no disadvantages.
Zhou Lijia, Yang Xiang, and the others carefully remembered Chen Xing's speech. When Chen Xing arrived yesterday, he didn't let the cadres of the county pick him up, nor did he meet the cadres of the county. They didn't expect that they would meet Chen Xing in this way. Hearing Chen Xing's words, they both knew that Chen Xing mentioned more cultural activities in the towns and villages because he saw that the town's game hall was so lively. People had places to go at night, so naturally, fewer people went to play games.
Ye Peicai just stood far away on the side. When he heard that the person who loudly reprimanded him in the game hall was Wei Sida, the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee and the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, and Wei Sida was just slapped on the back of the head by the shopkeeper in the game hall, Ye Peicai knew that he was finished. In order to get 20% of the game hall's shares, he had lost his future. With a dividend of one or two hundred thousand yuan a year, Ye Peicai now wanted to throw away all the money he had taken in the past and disassociate himself from it. But he knew that time couldn't be turned back, and there was no medicine for regret in this world. If he hadn't been so unlucky this time, he was now the director of the police station at the age of 30. How many one or two hundred thousand yuan could he have earned in the future?
Ye Peicai was about to cry. He felt that he was just unlucky. How many cadres were clean? Unfortunately, he was the one who suffered.
Chen Xing didn't particularly remember Ye Peicai. He knew that Wei Sida would follow up this matter more actively than anyone else, and he didn't need to worry about the follow-up handling at all. If he knew what Ye Peicai was thinking at this moment, Chen Xing was afraid that he would feel even more sad. The quality of grass-roots cadres not only needed to be improved, but also needed to be reformed in terms of ideological style and values. What did this mean? Now it was really a moment of life and death. If the central government didn't fight against corruption in a high-profile manner now, it would only be more unmanageable in the future.
…
The night was quiet. In a secret hotel somewhere in the city, Qin Peng and Liang Jing were temporarily detained here. They were in different rooms, and a special interrogation team took turns to watch them. Here, even the other teams of a special task force didn't know.
