Shortly after the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was held, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of Haicheng City held a meeting to discuss the relevant personnel issues. They agreed to Zhan Lin's resignation as the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government and appointed Qi Yixuan as the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government.
Zhan Lin took the initiative to resign from his position as the Secretary-General and requested to take on a non-leadership position on the grounds that he was not feeling well. Those who did not know the truth thought that Zhan Lin was really sick, but those with a discerning eye knew that this was Zhou Mingfang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, knocking on Mayor Zhao Yiping's door. Some time ago, when the investigation team was investigating Xing Tiande, Zhao Yiping intended to point the finger at Zhou Mingfang. Although Zhou Mingfang had been keeping a low profile and did not do anything, it was not that he was tolerating. Instead, he was testing people's hearts. Now that the time was right, he finally made a move to teach Zhao Yiping a lesson and took down Zhan Lin, the Chief Butler of the Municipal Government. The new Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, Qi Yixuan, was a member of the Municipal Party Committee. He was originally the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of the Municipal Government Offices Administration. Zhou Mingfang had obviously placed his chess piece in the Municipal Government.
As for Zhan Lin, he was transferred to the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference as the Deputy Chairman.
Chen Xing experienced the entire process of the Standing Committee from beginning to end. Zhou Mingfang easily took down Zhan Lin, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government, and silently taught Zhao Yiping a lesson. Chen Xing was greatly shocked. Zhan Lin had been the Secretary-General of the Municipal Government for many years. Two years ago, he was clearly promoted to the Deputy Department level. Such a Deputy Department level cadre had been taken down without a sound and fallen in a political struggle.
Before this, Chen Xing was complacent about being promoted to a section level cadre after he became Zhou Mingfang's secretary. Now, he felt a chill in his heart. It was easy to take down a Deputy Department level cadre. What was a section level cadre to him? If it was not for Zhou Mingfang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he would be insignificant in the political arena of a prefecture-level city like Haicheng City. If it was not for his identity as a secretary, who would pay attention to a small section level cadre like him?
Even a Deputy Department level cadre could fall in a cruel political struggle, let alone others. Chen Xing suddenly felt a little lost about the goal he had set for himself. He was now only a section level cadre. Even if he was promoted step by step in the future and became a department level cadre, in this cruel political environment, every step was thrilling. One wrong step was very likely to lead to eternal damnation. It was not that Chen Xing had not heard the news of a certain leader in a certain place being punished for violating the rules and regulations, but it was not something that happened to him after all. This time, it could be said that Chen Xing had personally experienced the scene of a "struggle".
What puzzled Chen Xing the most was that he had accidentally seen a few names written on a small note on Zhou Mingfang's desk. During those few days, the Organization Minister Yuan Jiang had also been running to Zhou Mingfang's office very frequently. At that time, Chen Xing had guessed that those might be the few cadre that Zhou Mingfang wanted to adjust. Zhan Lin was only one of them, but in the end, only Zhan Lin was unlucky. Chen Xing was a little surprised. Could it be that Zhou Mingfang had shown mercy at the end and only wanted to teach Zhao Yiping a moderate lesson without going too far? However, this did not seem to be in line with Zhou Mingfang's personality. Chen Xing was really astonished.
The aftermath of Zhan Lin's sudden adjustment in Hai City's political scene had not yet passed. Another truly shocking news came from the province. Zhou Mingfang was about to be transferred to the Provincial Party Committee and become the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee.
Chen Xing also heard the news that Zhou Mingfang was about to be transferred to the Provincial Party Committee. However, the news had not been confirmed by the Provincial Party Committee. Chen Xing could not be sure whether Zhou Mingfang was really going to leave Hai City. However, from Zhou Mingfang's daily words and deeds, Chen Xing also noticed some subtle signs. As for this rumor that came from an unknown source, Chen Xing actually believed it.
Especially after Zhou Mingfang returned from the capital, his spirit seemed to have become even more different. This made Chen Xing have to guess whether Zhou Mingfang had already known something in advance when he was in the capital. Moreover, Zhou Mingfang had only moved Zhan Lin, the secretary-general of the Municipal Government, in the cadre adjustment of Hai City. This was different from what Chen Xing had speculated based on the clues he had observed before. Chen Xing also had doubts in his heart.
"Great Secretary Chen, are you still not willing to come tonight?" On the phone, the charming voice made people's hearts melt.
At this time, Chen Xing was in his small office. It was close to the time when he got off work in the evening. The call was from his old classmate, He Li. Ever since he became Zhou Mingfang's secretary, He Li had called him and asked him out to meet. Chen Xing had declined on the grounds that he was busy with work. Chen Xing himself could not remember how many times He Li had called him.
He Li, tonight, I'm afraid …
I'm afraid I can't do it today, right? He Li interrupted Chen Xing. "Great Secretary Chen, can you change your lines? I can recite what you said with my eyes closed."
Chen Xing shook his head slightly and smiled. A few days before he became Zhou Mingfang's secretary, he had returned the money to He Li. In his heart, he did not want to have too much contact with He Li. Many of his classmates in the university thought that He Li was a fickle woman. Chen Xing did not think that such a woman should be spurned and scolded by others. Everyone had the right to choose their own way of life. He Li was an adult with a normal IQ. She had her own world view and values. What kind of life she led was actually her own business, and others had no right to criticize her.
Besides, sometimes rumors were just rumors. Chen Xing listened to them for the time being. It did not mean that he believed those words. In this society, there would never be a shortage of people who were jealous of others and deliberately slandered others. Chen Xing admitted that he did not have a deep understanding of He Li.
After all, they did not have a deep relationship in the university. They only heard others talk about He Li, but they did not know much about her. Although He Li did choose a rich businessman who was more than ten years older than her after graduation, it did not mean anything. As a woman, it was not wrong to pursue a stable and prosperous life.
He Li, why are you looking for me? Every time, he would find an excuse to fool the other party. After so many times, in fact, both sides were well aware of it. It was just that they pretended not to know. Now that He Li had exposed this layer of window paper, Chen Xing was straightforward.
Yes, this time I am looking for you for a very important matter.
Oh, what is it? Tell me. I will help if I can.
It is not convenient to say it on the phone. I hope to see you tonight. I will wait for you in Room 303 of the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Nanhua Road.
He … Chen Xing was about to say something, but the other party had already hung up.
After work in the evening, Chen Xing walked out of the Municipal Party Committee. He did not go home immediately. Instead, he walked slowly along the sidewalk. Chen Xing was still hesitating whether to go to He Li's appointment.
Perhaps she really had something to tell him. As Chen Xing thought to himself, he had subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop a taxi.
When he arrived at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Nanhua Road, Chen Xing went directly to the third floor, walked to Room 303, and gently knocked on the door.
It was He Li who opened the door. Chen Xing was not too surprised. However, when his eyes fell on He Li, Chen Xing's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw that He Li was wearing a thin, translucent black dress, exuding a fatal attraction like a poppy flower.
The length of the dress was only above the knee, exposing a section of snow-white smooth skin. That was He Li's slender and round thighs. His two beautiful little feet were dragging black flip-flops, and his nails were painted with pink nail polish. He Li dressed as if he were at home.
The moment He Li saw Chen Xing, a charming smile bloomed on his face. You are finally here.
Come in. Why are you standing at the door? He Li glanced at Chen Xing with a smile. It seemed that he was very satisfied with Chen Xing's performance at this time.
Aren't you afraid of the cold? Chen Xing withdrew his gaze a little unnaturally. It was already late October, and autumn had long entered. The weather was gradually getting colder, especially this year's weather, which was different from previous years. Winter seemed to come early. It was a little better in the daytime, with the sun shining, so it would be warmer. However, at night, it was a little cold.
Of course, it would be cold with the wind outside, but it would not be cold inside the room. He Li smiled and gently closed the door. His fingers gently pressed the door lock, and suddenly, the door was locked from the inside.
Chen Xing walked into the room and stood there. The sound of the door being locked came from behind, which was particularly ear-piercing in this quiet room. Chen Xing's heart slightly skipped a beat. What was so important that he had to talk about it in the room? Couldn't he talk about it outside?
No way. He Li slowly walked from behind. I feel uncomfortable outside, as if someone will peep at me. It is not as reassuring as inside the room.
Someone peeps? I think you are thinking too much. Chen Xing smiled.
No matter what, you still came, didn't you? He Li took small, elegant steps from behind Chen Xing to in front of him. Since you came, it means that you still care about your old classmate.
I came because you said it was very important. We used to be classmates, so I don't think I will be so cold. Chen Xing frowned and reached out to block He Li's arm. His palm touched his soft and smooth skin, but it was surprisingly elastic.
Yes, we used to be classmates. No matter what, we have been classmates for four years. It is extremely difficult for me to ask you out to meet me. If I didn't say this today, as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, I am afraid that you will not have the time to meet me. He Li emphasized some of his words, and his face was a little sarcastic. Previously, Chen Xing had repeatedly refused his invitation, so He Li obviously took it to heart.
Later, I was transferred to work with Secretary Zhou, and I was not as free as when I was in the Political Research Office. Naturally, I was a little busy. Chen Xing glanced at He Li, and his face was indifferent.
Yes, working with the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee is certainly very busy. No wonder old classmates like me can't see you even if I want to. He Li looked at Chen Xing with a smile. Chen Xing, in fact, I don't understand. Why do you hide from me? Am I scarier than a monster and will eat you?
He Li, didn't you come to me for something important? Just tell me what it is. I have to go back later. Chen Xing avoided the topic.
What? You don't even want to spare some time for your old classmate? It seems that I am really not welcome in your heart. He Li chuckled, but he didn't look angry at all. Sit down, let's sit down and talk slowly.
Chen Xing glanced at He Li, walked to the sofa, and sat down. This room was very large, and the decoration was very luxurious. Chen Xing suspected that He Li had booked the presidential suite of the hotel. Judging from He Li's behavior, he was not short of money, so it was not strange for him to do this.
He walked to the wine cabinet by the wall, took out a bottle of red wine, and pulled out the cork with a 'pop' sound. He Li poured some red wine into two exquisite goblets, held the wine glasses, and walked over gracefully.
How about some red wine first? He Li walked slowly to Chen Xing and brought the wine to Chen Xing.
Thank you, but I don't drink. Chen Xing took the wine glass and put it on the table immediately.
Don't drink? I remember that you still drank at the class reunion in the summer, right? Why don't you drink after a few months? He Li stared at Chen Xing with a smile, and took a small sip.
Don't tell me you're afraid that I put drugs in the wine. Looking at Chen Xing's alert eyes, He Li chuckled.
Really? Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and stared at He Li. I don't need to know, and I don't want to know.
Haha, I know that you don't mean what you say. In fact, you are very nervous and want to know, right? Let me tell you, I have lit incense in this room. Didn't you smell a faint fragrance when you walked in just now? It smells good and fragrant. As He Hi spoke, she closed her eyes, intoxicated. She took a deep breath, and her face emitted a mesmerizing blush.
He Li, are you kidding me? Chen Xing looked up abruptly.
Do I look like I'm kidding you? He Li blinked with a smile.
So you asked me to come here tonight to play a trick on me? Chen Xing's eyes gradually became sharp.
How can I say I'm playing a trick on you? I really have something important to talk to you about. He Li chuckled.
He Li, you are so boring. Chen Xing's face changed. He stood up and was about to leave, but a black shadow flashed in front of him. He Li suddenly stood in front of him.
Boring? Do you think I'm boring? He Li followed Chen Xing's cheek, moved his lips up slowly, and bit Chen Xing's ear. Why don't I feel bored at all? What do you think? Look at you. Your body is much more honest than your mouth. It has expressed your feelings most truthfully. You like it, don't you?
