That night, Xiao Chen, who was depressed, stayed at the ThistleCardiffhotel.

The black Mercedes S flagship sedan turns left onto Denantes Boulevard. Leaning on the signs for Kingsway and Greyfriars Road, turn right at the first intersection, cross the next traffic lane, stop at the intersection opposite the Hilton Hotel, and then turn left, Xiao Chen saw that the new theater was at the end of the left, and Shu Xin turned right again at this time, and the parking lot of the Hisr Cardiff Hotel was on the left.

To be honest, Cardiff is a small city, and the buildings have their own characteristics, it is easy to distinguish the road and know where they are, at least not like some cities in China more than ten years later, once you enter the city, where it looks similar, you always can't figure out which intersection you have arrived, outsiders to the new city, eager to walk out with a car GPS navigation.

The exterior of the Hisr Cardiff Hotel has a gray roof and white walls, which looks fresh and elegant, and the interior decoration style is warm, with soft beige as the main color.

There are no special presidential suites here, only single, double and standard double rooms. Helena helped Xiao Chen book a double room, and she and Shu Xin lived in a standard double room.

Ford's production line is shut down and put aside, lack of people to take care of, dusty, Xiao Chen looked at it for an afternoon, felt the need to take a shower, walked to the bathroom to see, quite satisfied, the bathroom here is made of natural limestone, equipped with spa-style toiletries and waffle bathrobes.

Xiao Chen soaked in the bathtub and enjoyed the leisure of Wales.

Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the matte glass of the bathroom pattern, Xiao Chen keenly captured this fleeting picture, he quickly felt his scalp tingling, could it be that he had miscalculated, and the people from the 'ghost town' came over reluctantly?

But he didn't stop his hand playing in the water, he knew that this suite was too quiet now, and the sound of his water playing was very clear in the room, once he suddenly stopped, the other party could quickly judge that he had noticed the abnormality, and then ...... Although Xiao Chen has felt that he has been agile and in excellent health for more than a year, he does not feel that he can compare his killing methods with specially trained killers.

He was holding the shower head and humming a song in his mouth. But all to disguise his get-up, he got up quietly, trying not to make a noticeable sound of water, and then quickly dried himself and put on his waffle bathrobe.

He cautiously opened the glass door of the bathroom, pulled out a slit, and looked out from the inside, but saw nothing unusual, and the room was empty.

Xiao Chen was a little surprised, could he have seen it wrong? It's strange to think about it, if you are taking a bath in the bathroom, if there is really a killer, you can just come in and kick the door open, and then sweep things away. Why not?

He opened the door suspiciously, but still cautiously walked out, his steps extremely light and his whole body tense, ready to dodge a sudden attack.

"My dear...... Shaodong, are you always so nervous? Helena's voice rang in his ears, and a delicate body was pressed against his back, and whispered, "Hmm...... Do you want someone to help you relax? ”

Xiao Chen almost jumped up in shock when she said "dear", but his ability to distinguish was very strong, and the other party's voice sounded in his ears, indicating that she was already by his side. At this time, Xiao Chen found that he was also a person with a lot of suspicions, for example, when he heard Helena's voice just now, the first reaction in his heart was: She played Infernal Affairs! Then I listened to the latter words before I came down normally.

Xiao Chen pulled Helena, who was almost glued to him, down, and walked to the bed with her on his back angrily, and said, "Helena!" Don't you know that people can be scared to death? ”

Helena was not afraid of him, and followed with a smile: "My Shaodong will not be scared to death, you are too brave to suspect that I am a killer, but you dare to come out secretly." She saw Xiao Chen sitting on the large single sofa next to the bed, and sat down sideways on the wide and soft armrests unceremoniously, leaving Xiao Chen with a very tempting S-shaped curve, and continued: "But Shaodong, what you did is not right. The best thing you can do is to crawl out of the bathroom and enter through the room next to us, seeking our protection; If not, you should stealthily climb on the roof of your bathroom where the door opens, and when the killer comes in, jump down, hold him down, and grab the gun...... Of course, this requires a certain amount of skill, but I think it can be done in terms of Shaodong's physical fitness and flexibility. ”

Xiao Chen's old face flushed, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her, pinched his eyebrows with his thumb and forefinger, and asked, "Why did you suddenly appear here with me?" ”

Helena pouted, "Can't people talk to someone if they want to?" ”

"Okay, but I think you and Shu Xin will have a little more in common, follow me...... What is there to talk about? Xiao Chen said a little casually.

"Shaodong, how can you say that, in order to chat with you, people have deliberately mastered fresh materials." Helena's eyes blinked.

Xiao Chen glanced at her: "What material?" ”

Helena said, "Would you like to talk to me now?" ”

"I said, OK." Xiao Chen looked at her and said.

Helena moved towards Xiao Chen, her plump ass felt like she was sitting on Xiao Chen's thighs, she twisted slightly, and immediately made the small waist look thinner, and the double peaks on her chest were also higher, then she glanced at Xiao Chen with satisfaction, and said, "There are two news, one bad news, one good news, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”

Xiao Chen glanced at her and said, "Listen to the good news first." ”

"Huh??" Helena was a little curious: "Why did you hear the good news first?" I thought that most people would choose to hear the bad news first and then the good news. ”

Xiao Chen watched her ass twist and twist next to him, and suddenly couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to hit it lightly: "It's depressed enough, listen to the good news and relax first." ”

Helena was spanked by Xiao Chen, and exclaimed as if she was in pain, then looked at him with silky eyes, and pouted: "Shaodong~~ Why are you willing to work so hard?" ……”

This Helena was originally coquettish, and Xiao Chen's heart rippled in such a coquettish tone, and he almost said "You will make me work harder in a while".

He turned his face, took a deep breath, and said, "Say it quickly." ”

Helena grinned and said, "Well, in fact, Shaodong still likes other people, right?" ”

Xiao Chen glanced at her and didn't speak.

Helena blinked: "The good news is that your grandfather already knows about your assassination in the UK. ”

"What!" Xiao Chen was taken aback: "My grandfather knows?" When did it happen? - Is this good news?? ”

Helena giggled, "Of course it's good news, your grandfather was shocked when he found out about it, but ...... His judgment may have been a little off, so he ...... "Helena sold a pass, and suddenly stopped.

"So what??" Xiao Chen frowned and asked seriously. Grandpa is not an ordinary person, any of his actions, even a casual word, can have a great impact.

"So, Huaxia's agents may have been busy for a while now." Helena was not intimidated by Xiao Chen's seriousness at all, and still smiled smartly.

Xiao Chen was stunned: "Agents?? …… How did you hear this news? ”

Helena said: "The chairman just called to tell us, let us tell you." ”

"What did Auntie say?" Xiao Chen frowned and asked.

"Your uncle called very seriously to verify this matter, and then became angry, saying, 'A bunch of clowns who jump off the beam, dare to deceive me and no one in China', and then he conveyed your grandfather's meaning, saying that let us Huahai immediately disengage from the ghost town, and this matter will be handed over to them from now on." Helena shrugged.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, his mind was chaotic at this moment, scratching his head, and he felt a little uneasy. Why did Grandpa do that? Is it really a misjudgment to think that this incident is not a commercial or inheritance dispute, but a provocation by a foreign political group against the Huaxia Xiao family and even against the Huaxia political axe?

Or, grandpa didn't misjudge, he just wanted to kill chickens and make an example?

Seeing that Xiao Chen was a little distressed, Helena couldn't help but persuade: "Shaodong, in fact, why do you think so much? A big man like your grandfather has a lot of experience, and he naturally has his intentions when he does this, so why do you have to delve into his thoughts? Think of it this way: your assassin will soon be punished. Isn't it? ”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly: "That's the only way." He stroked his hair and asked, "What about the bad news?" ”

"Your partner, Mr. Zhang, the mayor of Dingqing District, doesn't seem to approve of you making cars, and has recently made many contrary remarks in public and is quite marketable. Your secretary, Mr. Huang, called and asked when you would return to Huaxia. ――I'm sorry, but let me ask you a personal question: Who is the district chief, you and Mr. Zhang? ”

Xiao Chen is serious, Zhang Bangcheng disapproves? That's a big problem. He frowned slightly and explained his relationship with Zhang Bangcheng: "The administration of Huaxia is subject to the leadership of the party, and the party and government are not completely separated. You have to know the general relationship between this...... Generally speaking, it can be boiled down to six words: I make the decision, and he does it. ”

Helena stuck out her tongue: "You're so relaxed." ”

Xiao Chen was stunned: "How can I be relaxed?" He suddenly came over: "Do you think that 'I make the decision, he will do it' will be easy for me?" You know, I decided the matter, and if he didn't do it well, I would be responsible for the wrong decision, so I had to watch from the side as he did it. At the same time, there are many, many things that I need to watch, and these things are all up to me in the end, and at the same time, I am in charge...... Can I be relaxed? ”

Xiao Chen's words are actually true and false. Although the secretary has to be responsible for things after making a decision, there are many times when the specific things that have been explained have not been done well, and the secretary actually does not have to take responsibility for everything. More often than not, the secretary has at most a leadership responsibility of "unfavorable supervision", and the people below are ineffective, which is the mainstream.

In a word, the party cannot be wrong, and it is certainly not the party that is wrong. Therefore, some people say that it is better to be a secretary, because he can "manage everything, and he is not responsible". Making the secretary like Xiao Chen can be regarded as a kind of "asking for hardship".

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Helena sighed in a half-incomprehensible voice, thought about it and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" Your men look like they're about to mutiny. ”

Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing, although Zhang Bangcheng is his deputy, he should be called more partners and comrades, where is it considered a subordinate, the word mutiny is even more nonsense, and he did not defect to the enemy, how can it be considered 'mutiny'? Besides, in terms of political relations, he has never been his own person.

"It seems that my backyard is still unstable, and it is time to go back." Xiao Chen smiled faintly-

Almost at the same time, a standing committee meeting was held in Dingqing District, at which it discussed plans for the restructuring of several non-performing state-owned enterprises, discussed and decided on various arrangements for affairs during this year's Spring Festival, and other matters. A major feature of the Standing Committee this time was that the secretary of the district party committee was absent and was convened by Zhang Bangcheng, deputy secretary of the district party committee and acting head of the district. At the meeting, the biggest confrontation was a plan put forward by Zhang Bangcheng to revitalize state-owned enterprises, the main content of which was to support these state-owned enterprises that had a period of glory but are now struggling, for which the district finance will need to spend up to more than 70 million yuan to carry out funds for them, such as updating equipment, paying back wages, and improving the treatment of employees.

"The 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in 1992 is no less important in the history of China's economic system reform than the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978. The 14 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) formally put forward the goal of establishing a socialist market economic system and establishing a modern enterprise system in state-owned enterprises. With this as a sign, the reform of state-owned enterprises in China is no longer limited to the adjustment of management rights, but has penetrated into the level of property rights system, and its mainstream is the construction of a modern company system with the reform of the joint-stock system as the main content.

Three years have passed, and the reform of the property rights of our state-owned enterprises has become a bend that cannot be bypassed in China's economic development. Many comrades believe that this great discussion shows that the reform of our state-owned enterprises is once again at a critical juncture. I agree, but I don't think that should slow down, halt or even reverse reforms. ”

This may be the first time that Zhang Bangcheng has taken the initiative to talk about the economy at the Standing Committee, and judging from his speech, he has made some preparations.

"So what I mean is to give these companies more freedom, to give them the necessary economic and political conditions, so that these enterprises can come back to life, which is also closely following the spirit of the central government. So I think it's worth spending the money. ”

As soon as Zhang Bangcheng said this, the Standing Committee was silent for a while, and the needle drop could be heard.
