The time is fixed on April 8th, which is destined to be a day that will surely go down in history.

The north wind was cold, and the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery was crowded. The deceased former party and state leader Zhang Daoyi held a farewell ceremony for the body in Babaoshan today, and the party and state leaders collectively attended the ceremony to make a final farewell for Zhang Lao.

The atmosphere of the venue where the mourning hall was arranged was heavy and solemn, and at about 9 o'clock in the morning, mourning music was played, and the atmosphere was solemn and silent. The party and state leaders of this generation stepped forward in turn to pay respects to the remains of Elder Zhang and bowed solemnly three times to the coffin.

The low crying in the venue was faintly heard, this was the old Zhang family on the side, the fall of this great ** soldier was not only a huge loss to the country, but also a bolt from the blue for the Zhang family.

After paying homage to Zhang Lao's remains, while comforting the people of the Zhang family and even saying goodbye, the No. 1 leader held Zhang Guohua's hand and whispered something softly.

The people who witnessed this scene, everyone had different expressions, but unfortunately no one could hear what the No. 1 leader and Zhang Guohua were talking about.

After the central leaders, the central party and government organs, the representatives of the armed forces, and the relevant responsible persons of the capital paid their respects, the venue for arranging the mourning hall was opened to the masses from all walks of life who went to pay their respects.

Chen Xing is also among the relatives of the Zhang family, but on an occasion like today, Chen Xing undoubtedly seems insignificant.

When the mourning hall was open to the ordinary people, Chen Xing noticed that several young people of the Lin family were also walking among the ordinary people, and as far as the eye could see, the people they saw were not who Lin Guoxing and Lin Jiangcheng met in the bar last time, which made Chen Xing frown slightly.

Lin Guoxing also seemed to notice Chen Xing in them, looking at Chen Xing's eyes with a faint smile, but it quickly flashed away, and his face was solemn, they came to attend the farewell ceremony of Old Man Zhang's body today, not to provoke, Lin Guoxing didn't want to find trouble, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to mess around at such a time.

Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi also saw Lin Guoxing and a few people, Zhang Ming's face changed, and he was about to step forward angrily, Zhang Yi on the side hurriedly grabbed it, Chen Xing also shook his head at Zhang Ming, no matter what kind of ideas Lin Guoxing and the others had, but they came to participate in the farewell ceremony of the old man's body after all, as family members, they must maintain restraint.

"What do you want to do, stay honest with me." Zhang Guozhong turned his head and glared at his son, his eyes swept over Lin Guoxing and the others, his eyes were sharp, and then he didn't pay much attention to it, just a few juniors of the Lin family, Zhang Guozhong didn't bother to care about anything, and the only thing that could make him jealous was Lin Zhenxing.

"These bastards of the Lin family, find a chance to clean them up." Zhang Ming's expression was gloating, he knew that these people must be gloating.

"Leave them alone now." Zhang Yi said expressionlessly.

Chen Xing remained silent even more, Old Man Zhang is gone, the people of the Lin family do have reason to be happy, even if they don't dare to show it on the surface, but in their hearts, I'm afraid they have already blossomed, just now Chen Xing saw Lin Zhenxing, the second-generation core of the Lin family who was transferred to the director of the National Development and Reform Commission, will definitely be the biggest competitor of the old man Zhang Guohua in the future, Chen Xing has such a premonition in his heart.

The grand funeral ended, relative to the outside world, a qiē returned to peace, and in the Zhang family, the heavy sad atmosphere still exists, Zhang Guohua returned to Jianghai on the third day after the funeral, as the secretary of the provincial party committee of a province, Zhang Guohua can not be like ordinary people, because of family affairs and let go of work, even if it is sad in his heart, he must also cheer up and return to work, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, the successor of the Zhang family, Zhang Guohua does not even show a trace of weakness qualifications, he must always show a strong side, only at home, in front of his own people, Zhang Guohua occasionally reveals that sad and uncontrollable look.

The handling of this funeral has delayed Zhang Guohua for many days, and he had to rush back to Jianghai immediately after dealing with the matter.

The night before Zhang Guohua returned to Jianghai, Chen Xing and Zhang Guohua also talked for a long time, Weng and his son-in-law talked at night, Chen Xing's current situation in Nanzhou City is not very smooth, in front of the old man, Chen Xing did not hide it, told the truth, the old man's political experience and officialdom struggle methods are not comparable to him, in the old man Zhang Guohua, Chen Xing learned a lot, the old man pinned great hopes on him, Chen Xing was awe-inspiring, he could not let the old man down, especially in the current situation, he also belongs to the Zhang family, You have to fight, and the more difficult it is, the more people are waiting to see their jokes.

Chen Xing did not return to Nanzhou so quickly, he continued to stay in the capital for a few days, in addition to accompanying his wife and appeasing his wife's feelings, Chen Xing also visited Wang Weilin, director of the Industrial Planning Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, and asked about the current urban subway project approval related matters, just a simple consultation, Chen Xing did not ask too much, after all, he has not formally exchanged views with Ge Jianming, and it is still too early whether the subway project in Nanzhou City will be approved, Chen Xing does not need to ask too much, just a little understanding of what he wants to know is enough.

After accompanying his wife for three or four days, Chen Xing also planned to leave for Nanzhou, his wife's love was quite stable, and furthermore, his mother-in-law Zeng Yun worked in the capital, and his mother-in-law helped take care of his wife, Chen Xing was also relieved, as a person who came over, his mother-in-law undoubtedly knew how to take care of pregnant people more than he did, Chen Xing actually couldn't help too much, he stayed, more to comfort his wife spiritually, the old man was over ninety years old, and he didn't have any regrets when he left, and the younger generations should no longer be immersed in grief, This must be what the old man doesn't want to see, Chen Xing often comforts his wife like this.

In mid-April, Chen Xing returned to Nanzhou, this time, he left for seven or eight days, originally only planned to stay in the capital for two or three days, because the old man died unexpectedly, stayed for a few more days, when he returned to Nanzhou, Chen Xing felt that he had been away for a long time, perhaps because he had just experienced a funeral, Chen Xing even felt that when he stepped on the land of Nanzhou again, it was like a new journey had just begun.

"Mayor." The person who came to pick up the plane was still Chen Xing's confidant, except for the secretary Huang Jianghua, the office director Xiao Yuanqing, and the two of them saw Chen Xing get off the plane, and they also hurried to greet him.

Nodding slightly at the two, Chen Xing signaled to go back to the car first, and when he sat in the car, Chen Xing listened to Huang Jianghua's report on the work in the city in the past few days, Huang Jianghua picked up important reports, Chen Xing listened, nodding from time to time.

In fact, when Chen Xing was not in Nanzhou, Huang Jianghua and Xiao Yuanqing would also call him from time to time to inform him of some things in the city.

"What about Assistant Zhou, has there been any progress in the case he handled?" Chen Xing suddenly asked.

"In the past two days, I have rarely seen Assistant Zhou return to the city, and it is really unclear how the smuggling case was handled." Huang Jianghua lowered his head, his expression was quite self-reproachful, Chen Xing asked him about the situation, as a secretary, he couldn't answer, this was his dereliction of duty, although he was too harsh on himself, but if he didn't have his harshness to himself, he would not have been able to satisfy Chen Xing, and sat firmly in the position of secretary, and got Chen Xing's trust and value.

"Maybe he's in a hurry to run outside as soon as he comes back." Chen Xing gave Huang Jianghua a relieved smile, and didn't say much, on the third day of his return to Beijing, Zhou Zhijin also rushed back to the capital, the old man's death is such a major event, although Zhou Zhijin is not the Zhang family, but the Zhou family has such a deep relationship with the Zhang family, and is taken care of by the Zhang family, Zhou Zhijin has no reason not to go back, and the elders of the Zhou family also took him to attend the old man's funeral and send the old man on his last journey.

Zhou Zhijin returned to Nanzhou the next day after the funeral, Chen Xing asked him to come back first, there was no one he trusted and could control the situation in the city, Chen Xing was really not at ease, if Zhou Zhijin didn't come back first, Chen Xing would not continue to stay in the capital for a few more days.

"Mayor, this is a notice just sent by the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee in the morning, please take a look." Xiao Yuanqing handed Chen Xing a copy of the document in hand, and said, "If you hadn't said that you would come back today, I would have called you to report it quickly."

"Oh?" Chen Xing took it, and after glancing at it, his face became solemn, Fu Youjun, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Tan Zheng, secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, will come down to inspect in five days.

Generally speaking, if the heavyweight leaders in the province want to come down, they will notify the party committee and government at the next level a few days in advance, this is a normal officialdom process, Fuyoujun wants to come down, and let the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee go down five days in advance, which is not surprising at all, but this time there is Tan Zheng who accompanied the inspection, which is obviously also inclined to inspect the work related to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Xing was quite surprised by this, I think Ge Jianming should pay more attention to this matter, right?

Thinking for a moment, Chen Xing didn't think much about it, the provincial party committee came down, and at the same time there was the secretary of the provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is undoubtedly a big event for the city, although Nanzhou is the provincial capital, under the nose of the provincial leaders, there are often provincial leaders to inspect and guide, although this kind of thing is not uncommon, but no matter when, the secretary of the provincial party committee comes down to inspect, everyone has to play a spirit of twelve points.

When the car arrived in the city, on the way to the city government, when passing by a hotel, Chen Xing, who occasionally looked out the window, unexpectedly saw two familiar figures, one was Jiang Bingxuan, the secretary general of the municipal government, and the other was not Liu Weining, vice president of the Nanzhou branch of Gray Bank.

Noticing Chen Xing's gaze looking out of the window, Xiao Yuanqing also looked over, and when he saw Liu Weining and Jiang Bingxuan, Xiao Yuanqing smiled and said, "Mayor, that President Liu is quite strange, he often likes to run to our city government, and I don't know where he has so many things." ”

"Yes." Chen Xing looked surprised, Liu Weining came to him last time, it was for Gray Bank to run a loan company, for the business of small and medium-sized enterprises, Chen Xing was very supportive, and instructed the relevant departments to handle the relevant procedures as much as possible, what is Liu Weining still so diligent in running the city government, although enterprises need to deal well with the government and have a good relationship, but a financial company with a foreign background like Gray Group is itself a multinational giant, and it should be the local government in turn to deliberately make good friends. It would be a little strange for Liu Weining to run to the city government every once in a while.
