When Lu Ming asked, Chen Xing's face was stunned, and he didn't answer Lu Ming's question immediately, and the expression on his face became a little gloomy.

"Mayor Chen, look at my mouth, gossiping with others, you just don't ask me anything." Seeing that Chen Xing didn't speak, Lu Ming thought that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, so he smiled hurriedly.

"There's nothing to say about your own people." Chen Xing shook his head, he didn't hide it from Lu Ming, and sighed, "The old man is really dying, and I don't know how long I can carry it." ”

"It seems that the rumors are not groundless." Lu Ming's face was also a little solemn, and he glanced at Chen Xing with some worry, secretly thinking that once a big change happened in the Zhang family, he didn't know if it would have a big impact on Chen Xing, even if it was not in a short period of time, but in the future, Chen Xing's life might not be as good as it is now.

"There is no airtight wall under this sky, and this kind of news cannot be blocked after all." Chen Xing smiled bitterly, except for the high-level leaders of the central government, Old Man Zhang's physical condition is now kept secret from the outside world, but even Lu Ming has heard this kind of news, and it is conceivable what Cheng Dù has heard about this matter, Shao Huadong only asked him how the old man's body is a few days ago, and Chen Xing knew that there were many people who knew below.

"Actually, even if you hide it, I'm afraid it's meaningless." Lu Ming muttered secretly in his heart, but he undoubtedly didn't dare to say this kind of thing in front of Chen Xing, and said, "I hope that Old Man Zhang can survive this difficulty." ”

"This sounds so familiar to me." Chen Xing said with a smile, since the old man Zhang was hospitalized, he didn't know how many similar words he had heard, some people may have blessings from the heart, but some people said so, but in their hearts they wished that Old Man Zhang would return to the West as soon as possible.

"Old man Zhang is highly respected, there must be many people who have blessed him like this, Mayor Chen, it is not surprising that you are familiar with it." Lu Ming laughed, and then became silent, Old Man Zhang's level was too far away from him, and Lu Ming could only ask purely as gossip, and it was not his turn to worry about a person like him who could only be regarded as a sesame mung bean official in the eyes of the high-level to worry about, just take Chen Xing, who is a member of the Zhang family in front of him, in the face of this kind of thing, there will be no other way except sighing.

However, the current situation in the city is not very favorable to Chen Xing, this is the most realistic problem in front of him, Lu Ming is quite worried about Chen Xing, because the physical condition of Old Man Zhang is worrying, and the general environment is not very favorable to the Zhang family, and specifically Chen Xing's situation, Chen Xing is not very good at present.

The two sat for a while, Chen Xing looked at the time, and said, "Let's do this today, what you said, do what you said first, and then look at the situation later, by the way, remember to be careful, you can't directly check Ge Jianming's son." ”

"I understand." Lu Ming nodded solemnly, he knew that Chen Xing was talking about Ge Jianming's son, and when the auction results of the Chongbei Municipal Government Guest House plot came out in a few days, he might be able to see that he was tired, as for Chen Xing's warning, Lu Ming also knew Chen Xing's concerns in his heart, in a circle full of rules and regulations in officialdom, the rules of the game must be observed, whoever breaks the rules of the game first will be attacked by the crowd, if you go to check Ge Jianming's son for no reason, Lu Ming also knows how strict the consequences will be.

Chen Xing and Lu Ming separated and came to Jiang Wan's residence, which was still the familiar bachelor apartment, Chen Xing could always find a sense of relaxation when he came in, just like at home, since Jiang Wan last returned to Haicheng, Chen Xing has not been here again, and it has been almost a month since Chen Xing saw Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan had a faint flush on his face, leaning tightly in Chen Xing's arms, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, this seemed to be Jiang Wan's feeling at the moment, and Chen Xing hadn't seen each other for almost a month, Jiang Wan was full of longing in his heart.

"Your parents are all settled." Chen Xing patted Jiang Wan on the shoulder and asked.

"It's settled, it's not far from my community." Jiang Wan replied in a low voice.

"Why don't you rent a house for them in this community, isn't it more convenient to get closer." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"It's good now, it's not far away." Jiang Wan glanced at Chen Xing a little shyly, as if he was blaming Chen Xing for asking knowingly, and his little hand gently slapped Chen Xing.

"Didn't your brother become disabled because of a car accident, and the medical level in Nanzhou is not bad, so you can let him go to the hospital to have a look."

"I have a plan, I heard that some Chinese medicine acupuncture has a special effect on this aspect, I plan to see if there are any particularly famous old Chinese medicine doctors in Nanzhou, and I will take a look at it then." Jiang Wan nodded, in the past, there were no economic conditions and no money for treatment, but now that the economic conditions are better, Jiang Wan also hopes that his brother can get better treatment.

"I can help you ask." Chen Xing said.

The two hugged each other quietly, and Chen Xing's rare heart was free of distractions.

The night was dark, and only half of the moon was quietly revealed, and in the blink of an eye, it was covered by dark clouds.

Ma Jiang had another day of idleness, but compared to the past, Ma Jiang's mood today was very good, and when he returned home, he was still humming a little song, Fang Wanhua glanced at her husband and looked surprised, "Did the sun come out in the west today?" ”

"Hey, I can't be in a good mood?" Ma Jiang looked at his wife, walked to the sofa with figure-eight steps, opened his mouth and sprayed wine, squatted quietly in the city government for a day during the day, and after seeing the results he wanted to see, Ma Jiang left leisurely to drink, "Wanhua, guess where Zeng Gaoqiang is now." ”

"I don't know where it is, what a strange question you asked." Fang Wanhua rolled her eyes, Zeng Gaoqiang would only call her when she needed it, and how could he tell him about his whereabouts at other times.

"You don't know, I know, I sue you, Zeng Gaoqiang is finished, he was taken away, and he is the person of the Supreme People's Procuratorate." Ma Jiang said proudly, "I saw it with my own eyes today." ”

"You saw it with your own eyes?" Fang Wanhua glanced at her husband suspiciously, "Where did you see it?" How do you know it's going to be the Supreme People's Prosecutor? ”

"Hmph, do you think I've been working in vain these days, going out early and returning late every day, just to find out the news, I know a lot of inside stories." A trace of hideousness flashed on Ma Jiang's face, "I not only know that Zha Zeng Gaoqiang is a person from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, but also know that it was led by Cheng Rongjiang, the former president of the Municipal Procuratorate, he procrastinated and didn't do it, so Lao Tzu simply added fuel to the fire and let him go in directly. ”

"Okay, why don't you mention this, didn't you say you don't talk about this at home?" Fang Wanhua looked displeased, Ma Jiang was sleeping with a wife, and it was very harsh in her ears.

But the next moment, Fang Wanhua was shocked and looked at her husband, "The person who was once Gaoqiang was subjected to the Supreme Procuratorate has something to do with you?" What did you do? ”

"I didn't do anything, I just sent some photos of the two of you in bed to the task force." Ma Jiang laughed.

"What did you say?" Fang Wanhua's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what her husband said, "Where did you get the photo?" ”

"Didn't I take the initiative to ask Zeng Gaoqiang to open a room two days ago, and I prepared the room for the two of you, forgot?" Ma Jiang looked at his wife and said with a smile, he drank a lot, but his mind was clear.

"What you said that day was to let me urge Zeng Gaoqiang to implement the work for you again, you bastard, it turns out that this is the idea you fought at that time?" Fang Wanhua's face flushed with anger, "You want to be strong and pull me in, you will make me how to be a person in the future." ”

"Isn't it just a few photos, what can't you behave like, besides, the photos are in the hands of the task force, and they won't be circulated, the unlucky thing is Zeng Gaoqiang." Ma Jiang pursed his lips.

"You bastard, it feels good to show your wife's nude photos to other people, don't you, you...... You're such a bastard. Fang Wanhua walked back and forth, her face was angry and anxious, two days ago her husband took the initiative to ask her to ask Zeng Gaoqiang to come out to open a room, and even the hotel room was booked for her, she didn't think much about it, thinking that her husband was in a hurry to enter the chengguan brigade, but she didn't expect her husband to have the idea of taking pictures at that time, there is no doubt that the camera was installed in the room by her husband in advance.

"I don't know how many times I've been taken by someone to cuckold my green hat, so what's the point of showing the photos to others." Ma Jiang looked angry, and I have to say that his current thinking seems to be a little perverted.

Just when the two were about to quarrel, a sudden knock on the door interrupted the two, Ma Jiang shouted impatiently, walked over to open the door, as soon as the door opened, Ma Jiang didn't react to what was going on, several men had already rushed in, Ma Jiang was pressed to the ground, and the door was locked for the first time, Fang Wanhua's eyes widened, and just about to scream, a man had already rushed over to cover her mouth, "Be honest, if you dare to scream, you will die." ”

On March 23, Chen Xing presided over the mayor's office meeting, Shao Huadong, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, Jia Zhengde, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and vice mayor, Tong Zhengkai, vice mayor, Ma Linping, deputy mayor, Jiang Bingxuan, secretary general of the government, Zhou Zhijin, assistant to the mayor, and other city leaders attended the meeting, and the heads of municipal organs and departments attended the meeting.

Because Zeng Gaoqiang was taken away by the Supreme People's Procuratorate, his original seat was empty, and the one sitting in Zeng Gaoqiang's position became Zhou Zhijin, for today's such a seating arrangement, many people quietly turned their eyes to Chen Xing in the middle, there is no doubt that this must have been instructed by Chen Xing, Zhou Zhijin's seating arrangement is higher than that of Jiang Bingxuan, the secretary general of the government, and directly replaced Zeng Gaoqiang, which makes many people secretly guess in their hearts, after all, the seating arrangement between leaders is exquisite, and everyone does not sit at will.

The meeting listened to the report of Xiao Yuanqing, director of the General Office of the Municipal Government, on the "Implementation Opinions on the Establishment of the Municipal Government Spokesperson System" (review), and put forward the revised and improved "Opinions", and at the same time reviewed and summarized the work of the first quarter that is about to end, and made arrangements for the work in the second quarter of this year.

At the meeting, Mayor Chen Xing made an important speech, on standardizing the operation of the government, improving the efficiency of the work, Chen Xing asked the members of the government team to unite and cooperate closely, all departments to implement effectively, in place, to ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees, for the individual leaders in recent days to appear in violation of law and discipline, the cadres present should self-examination and self-correction, clean themselves.

When Chen Xing talked about the smooth flow of the decree, the corner of Jia Zhengde, the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee who was sitting on Chen Xing's right hand, twitched slightly, and it seemed to be a little mocking of Chen Xing's words, but Jia Zhengde quickly hid his feelings, this is a mayor's office meeting, not a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, nor a meeting of the Municipal Party Committee, Jia Zhengde must always maintain a minimum of respect for Chen Xing, the mayor.

"Assistant Zhou is now gradually familiar with the work in the city, and we will also discuss the division of his work at today's meeting." Chen Xing glanced around at everyone and said suddenly.

Jia Zhengde, who was originally a little lazy, looked stunned when he heard Chen Xing's words, and then became serious, glanced in the direction of Chen Xing with some surprise, and then looked at Shao Huadong opposite, seeing Shao Huadong sitting calmly, Jia Zhengde had a faint bad premonition in his heart, Chen Xing had communicated with Shao Huadong in advance? If that's the case, then Chen Xing will put him aside, and he knows that it is not a good thing for him to think about it.

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Zhengde had this idea in his heart, he heard Chen Xing speak, "I plan to let Assistant Zhou take charge of land and resources, urban management, transportation, people's armed forces, anti-smuggling and other aspects first, if you have any ideas, you can also put them forward." ”

As soon as Chen Xing's voice fell, the rest of the people looked in the direction of Jia Zhengde strangely, seeing that Jia Zhengde's face was ugly, and the others didn't dare to look at it more, staring at the desktop in front of them, many people muttered in their hearts, Chen Xing is going to give Jia Zhengde a good look? There is no other reason, Chen Xing wants Zhou Zhijin to be in charge of several aspects of the work, almost all of which are drawn out of the current Jia Zhengde's responsibility, and they are all relatively important departments, Chen Xing is clearly going to cut power!

"Mayor Chen, isn't this arrangement a little unreasonable?" Jia Zhengde held back his anger and questioned himself, he knew that no one would be willing to stand up for him except himself, don't look at him with Ge Jianming's support, but in the internal affairs of the government, after all, no one dared to do it for him and Chen Xing.

"Well, what does Vice Mayor Jia think is unreasonable?" Chen Xing stared at Jia Zhengde.

"This ......" Jia Zhengde's eyes dodged for a moment, and he subconsciously didn't dare to look at Chen Xing, the anger in his heart rose up, didn't Chen Xing make it clear that he wanted to marginalize him, but how could he be willing to let Chen Xing take it, not to mention anything else, he is also one of the members of the Standing Committee, and he is second only to Executive Vice Mayor Shao Huadong in the leadership ranking of the municipal government, and he has no reason to be stepped on by Chen Xing and not say anything.

"Mayor Chen, Assistant Zhou is in charge of the work, I think we can take over the work of Deputy Mayor Zeng first, wouldn't this arrangement be more reasonable." Jia Zhengde rolled his eyes and said.

"Deputy Mayor Cao is in charge, and there will be other arrangements later." Chen Xing said indifferently, the meaning was already very obvious, insisting on the arrangement he had just mentioned, and Jia Zhengde was not allowed to refute it, Chen Xing simply made a decision, "This matter is so decided, and when the matter of Deputy Mayor Cao is decided, we will make appropriate adjustments to the division of labor later." ”

"Mayor Chen, you ......" Jia Zhengde's face turned red.

"Huh?" A cold light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.

"It's nothing, since Mayor Chen insists on such an arrangement, then I respect Mayor Chen's intentions." Jia Zhengde took a deep breath, almost gritted his teeth and said this, he looked at Shao Huadong at the same time, Shao Huadong, who had not been silent, was very calm from beginning to end, Jia Zhengde knew that the two must have communicated before, and even Shao Huadong did not object, Jia Zhengde knew that he could not carry Chen Xing at all, and just one Chen Xing was not something he could fight against, not to mention that Shao Huadong was still on Chen Xing's side.

"That's good." Chen Xing nodded, looking at Jia Zhengde's gaze with a condescending majesty.

After the meeting ended, Chen Xing was the first to leave the conference room, after Jia Zhengde left with a gloomy face, the conference room suddenly became noisy, in addition to the departing city leaders, they were all leaders of municipal departments and industrial zones and development zones.

Of course, the heads of several departments involved are sad faces, Chen Xing spoke today, but Jia Zhengde is obviously very unconvinced, one is the deputy mayor of the Standing Committee, and the other is the assistant mayor who has just arrived, who should they report to in the future? If you only report to Zhou Zhijin, it will offend Jia Zhengde, and if you report to Jia Zhengde, it will offend Zhou Zhijin, and Yan Zhing will also offend Chen Xing, which really makes the heads of several departments smile bitterly, this is really what makes the gods fight and hurt the pond fish.

Chen Xing returned to the office, only then did he see Cheng Rongjiang waiting outside his office door, his expression was slightly surprised, "Why didn't you let the secretary notify me when you came." ”

"I heard Xiao Chen say that you are holding a mayor's office meeting, so I will ask him not to disturb you." Cheng Rongjiang said with a smile, there was a little haze in his smile, and when he entered Chen Xing's office, the smile on Cheng Rongjiang's face disappeared, "Mayor Chen, something happened to Zeng Gaoqiang." ”

"What's going on?" Chen Xinghuo Ran looked up, he didn't want to hear anything like that.

"The anonymous sender who sent us the photo appeared, he ran to the provincial procuratorate, and took the initiative to explain some problems, but now it has become Zeng Gaoqiang is also a victim, and the provincial procuratorate has also intervened, which makes it difficult for us to do it all of a sudden." Cheng Rongjiang sighed.

"Who's the guy who sent the photo?" Chen Xing frowned.

"It's a guy named Ma Jiang, that is, the wife of the woman who had a relationship with Zeng Gaoqiang in the photo, Ma Jiang took the initiative to confess that he and his wife set up a trap to frame Zeng Gaoqiang, got Zeng Gaoqiang drunk and then took a photo, the purpose is to get benefits from Zeng Gaoqiang, and let Zeng Gaoqiang arrange a job for him, Zeng Gaoqiang didn't agree, and he overheard that we were checking Zeng Gaoqiang, so he sent us the photo angrily." Cheng Rongjiang probably said what happened.

"Ma Jiang? The name sounds familiar. Chen Xing pondered, as if he had a little impression of the name, but he couldn't remember it.

"This Ma Jiang used to be a law enforcement squadron leader in the district health bureau, and later he was fired, and his wife didn't know how to meet Zeng Gaoqiang." Cheng Rongjiang explained, this is only what he roughly understands, and he has not yet grasped more information, and the situation in front of him has made the originally favorable shape worse all of a sudden, and Cheng Rongjiang's mood is a mess, and he will also come over to talk to Chen Xing about the situation in advance.

"A squadron leader of the Health Bureau's Law Enforcement Squadron?" Chen Xing gradually got the impression that it was the person who had crossed paths with Jiang Wan before, and when it came to Ma Jiang's expulsion, he still asked.

However, it doesn't matter who Ma Jiang is, the important thing is that Ma Jiang went to the provincial procuratorate and voluntarily confessed that those nude photos were set up by him and his wife to frame Zeng Gaoqiang, which almost made Zeng Gaoqiang's situation change dramatically, and now Cheng Rongjiang's task force wants to detain Zeng Gaoqiang for investigation, I am afraid that there is no reason for it, this is undoubtedly the most fatal place, and it also gives others a reason to interfere.

"You say the provincial prosecutor's office has intervened?" Chen Xing looked at Cheng Rongjiang, there was a lot of information in what the other party said just now.

"Yes, the provincial procuratorate intervened, and even the city procuratorate jumped out." Cheng Rongjiang raised his eyebrows, "Chen Tongjin is a person who has been the secretary of the municipal party committee for several years and has also entered the standing committee of the provincial party committee, his roots in Nanzhou are too deep, he tries his best to prevent us from investigating Zeng Gaoqiang, which will cause us huge resistance, and now it seems that it is beyond our previous imagination." ”

Chen Xing listened to Cheng Rongjiang's words, and also fell silent, to win Zeng Gaoqiang is equivalent to confronting the Chen family, which was expected a long time ago, but as Cheng Rongjiang said, the resistance faced exceeded his previous imagination, this is indeed true, Chen Xing did not expect that things had already made a breakthrough, but it would suddenly come to a peak, the problem is how Ma Jiang, a small person who should not have anything to do with this case, was suddenly involved, and became a key figure in the case. The originally good case was stunned and made waves, Chen Xing also had a headache at this time, and Ma Jiang was insignificant, but now it has ruined the progress of the case like a grain of rat droppings.
