The willow trees by the roadside stretched out their branches with tender green leaves, gently swaying in the spring breeze. Everywhere was filled with the season of spring. Appreciating the outdoor landscape, people's spirits also improved a little.
Chen Xing stood by the window. The flowers in the yard downstairs were in full bloom. The green leaves and red flowers filled the yard, making people feel relaxed and happy. Although the buildings in the Municipal Party Committee Compound were a little old, the environment was very good. The entire Municipal Party Committee Compound covered an area of more than 30 acres, more than half of which was green.
Chen Xing knew that many cadres in the city were looking forward to the relocation of the Municipal Party Committee Compound as soon as possible. The city renovation project included the planning and construction of the new Municipal Party Committee Building and the Municipal Government Building. Many people were eager to move to a better place to work. Chen Xing did not care about this. The second phase of the city renovation project had not started yet. Chen Xing intended to change it.
The financial situation of Wangshan City was not good to begin with. There was no need to spend more taxpayers' money to build a good office environment. The planning and construction of the new Municipal Party Committee building was purely a waste of money and manpower. Chen Xing had already planned to stop it. Thinking that the urban transformation project implicitly involved the interests of Zhang Lixing, Chen Xing frowned slightly. This matter was not as easy as he had imagined.
After checking the time, Chen Xing turned around and walked out of the office. Fan Ying had arrived in Wangshan today. Chen Xing immediately made an appointment with her for dinner. Chen Xing also wanted to know the final attitude of the New Donglin Group. After all, the bauxite industry in Lishan County was likely to become the pillar industry of the city in the future. For the development of Wangshan City in the next few years, it was necessary to cultivate more industries that could develop rapidly and had potential.
After going downstairs, Chen Xing got in the car. Li Yong had been in low spirits these days. As soon as Chen Xing got in the car, he saw him yawning again. He couldn't help but laugh. "Li, what's going on with you and Xiao Huang recently? Both of you are in low spirits."
"I haven't been sleeping well recently." As soon as Li Yong heard Chen Xing's question, he gave a hollow laugh and did not dare to look back at Chen Xing, for fear that Chen Xing would notice his unnatural expression.
While Li Yong did not notice Huang Jianghua's awkward expression, Huang Jianghua, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, also had an unnatural expression. As Chen Xing's secretary and driver, both of them were brought over by Chen Xing from Nanzhou, and both of them were close and trusted people of Chen Xing. These were the commonalities between the two of them. However, if there was anything in common between the two of them, it would be their slightly fatigued expressions and the very obvious dark circles under their eyes.
Xiao Huang also said that he didn't sleep well and that he had insomnia. You're the same. Could it be that the people around me are all under too much pressure? Chen Xing joked and didn't notice the expressions of Li Yong and Chen Jianghua.
The car was silent, and Chen Xing quickly thought about other things. Seeing that Chen Xing did not continue this topic, Li Yong and Huang Jianghua breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Neither of them knew what was going on with the other. Although Li Yong had seen Huang Jianghua go out of the dormitory very late at night once or twice, he did not know why Huang Jianghua went out so late. Recently, he had been busy with the affairs of men and women, and had no time to care about other people's affairs.
These two days, Li Yong did not sleep well. The reason was that he had hit someone while driving after drinking two nights ago. At that time, his mind was blank, and he followed Zhuang Qingqing's advice and directly escaped from the scene. Li Yong did not know what happened to the person who was hit, whether he was dead or not, and whether the police would investigate him.
Li Yong was worried and afraid. He was afraid of losing his current job because he knew the benefits of being a driver for a leader, especially this leader, who was the dignified secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. As the saying goes, the official position of the Prime Minister was a seventh-grade official. Although Chen Xing's official position was not comparable to that of the Prime Minister in ancient times, he was, after all, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. As a driver, even the county and city leaders had to be polite to him.
His mind was in a mess, but Li Yong sadly discovered that he didn't feel guilty at all for bumping into someone, nor did he care about what happened to the person he bumped into. All he cared about was whether the person was dead or not. This wasn't like how he used to be. When did he become so cold-blooded and terrifying?
The car was driving on the urban road. It was almost noon. Although it was past the rush hour, there were still many cars on the street. Li Yong quickly cheered up and did not dare to think about it anymore. Chen Xing was sitting in the car. As the driver, he had to drive the car well. He could not make any mistakes.
The car arrived at the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. Fan Ying was now used to staying in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee when she came to Wangshan. There was no other reason. The biggest advantage of staying in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee was that it was convenient to communicate with Chen Xing.
In the private room of the guest house, Fan Yingtong's assistant had been waiting for Chen Xing for a long time. This was a business trip. She did not come alone. She came with a team of the company.
"Miss Fan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Xing said with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
"Secretary Chen is too polite. I've just arrived." Fan Ying smiled. She was wearing a black business suit, and her temperament was different from before. The temperament of a strong woman in the workplace could be seen clearly.
The two of them were polite to each other before they took their seats. Chen Xing was looking at Fan Ying, and Fan Ying was also quietly looking at Chen Xing. Fan Ying hoped that the two sides would reach a negotiation on the establishment of a joint venture company for the mining of bauxite. The Fan family definitely wanted to be the controlling shareholder. However, if Wangshan City did not give in, the Fan family had to take a step back. This was the bottom line of the Fan family, and it was also the last concession they had to make. However, the Fan family would not easily reveal this bottom line.
The key to the establishment of a joint venture company depended on Chen Xing's attitude. Although there were specific departments and special people in Wangshan City responsible for the contact and specific cooperation negotiations with the Fan family's New Donglin Group, Fan Ying knew better than anyone that no matter how the conditions were discussed, they could not beat Chen Xing's words. Chen Xing would be the final decision maker. Therefore, when she arrived at Wangshan, she contacted Chen Xing as soon as possible. She agreed to Chen Xing's invitation without thinking about it.
"I think Miss Fan's visit this time represents the final attitude of the New Donglin Group." Chen Xing glanced at Fan Ying with a smile.
"I think Secretary Chen doesn't seem to welcome us to invest.
"Miss Fan, you can't put the hat of unwelcome on us casually. As for the investment of the New Donglin Group, whether it is my personal attitude or the actions that have been implemented by the city, we wholeheartedly welcome you to invest. I think Miss Fan should know that.
"I don't know. I only see that Secretary Chen is fussing over every ounce with us. Fan Ying slightly curled up her lips, looking charming. At the right time, women could always use their own advantages to do something. Whether it was to liven up the atmosphere or to express a little dissatisfaction, as long as they controlled the right amount, not only would it not make people feel disgusted, but sometimes it could also play an unexpected role.
"Miss Fan, I'm not fussing over every ounce. It's a matter of principle. Besides, it may be a good thing that your New Donglin Group doesn't hold a controlling stake." Chen Xing laughed. The underlying meaning of his words could not be more obvious. If the Wangshan government held the controlling stake, or both parties each held 50% of the shares, it would be of great benefit to the company when it came to policy issues in the future. Many difficult things could be done with the green light.
"As long as we can hold the controlling stake, we are not afraid of trouble." Fan Ying smiled and winked at Chen Xing.
When Chen Xing heard Fan Ying's words, he shook his head and smiled. He knew that the Fan family had not given up their last attempt. He could only express his attitude with silence. The issue of controlling stake could not be discussed.
Chen Xing did not say anything. Fan Ying was also not discouraged. She stared at Chen Xing with a pair of beautiful big eyes. The two seemed to be staring at each other. Those who didn't know would think that they were flirting with each other.
"Well, I've seen another side of Secretary Chen." Fan Ying saw that Chen Xing still had a smile on his face but did not speak. She shrugged helplessly.
While Chen Xing and Fan Ying were talking in the private room, Huang Jianghua and Li Yong were eating in another small room. In private, only the two of them, Huang Jianghua and Li Yong often made all kinds of jokes. Although the two usually did not have much personal interaction in private, they were both close friends of Chen Xing.
Li Yong's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was an unknown number, Li Yong did not bother to answer it and directly hung up.
"Xiao Li, is it a little lover who called you? You are too shy to answer it in front of me?" Huang Jianghua said jokingly. He also noticed that Li Yong had particularly serious dark circles these days. Thinking that he also had dark circles recently, and the reason was because of a woman, Huang Jianghua could not help but tease Li Yong. At this moment, he was purely joking. Li Yong gave him the impression that he was honest and sincere. Huang Jianghua would never think that Li Yong often went to bars in private and even had a relationship with a dancer in the bar.
"Secretary Huang, I am a big bachelor. How can I have a little lover? Do you want to introduce me to one?" Li Yong grinned. His heart skipped a beat, but his face did not show it at all.
"If you really need one, I will introduce you to one later to help you get rid of the bachelor army earlier."
The two joked. When Li Yong was about to reply to Huang Jianghua, his cell phone rang again. He took it out and saw that it was the same number as before. Li Yong curled his lips and hung up again. He put the cell phone on the table. Just as he put it down, his cell phone rang again. It was still the same number.
"Xiao Li, if there is a call, just answer it. It is just the two of us, and there are no outsiders. It is not inconvenient." Huang Jianghua said.
Li Yong smiled and nodded, but he was very annoyed in his heart. He cursed which bastard called.
After answering the phone, Li Yong said angrily, "Hello."
"Excuse me, is this Li Yong? I am from the city traffic police. We are investigating a traffic accident, and we need your assistance."
The other party's voice came from the other end of the phone.
