Chapter Ninety-Five: Strong
The Great Wall, this in ancient times to resist the invasion of the northern nomadic tribal alliance and the construction of a huge scale of military engineering, east and west stretching for tens of thousands of miles, the earliest built in China's first feudal dynasty Qin Dynasty, has a history of more than 2,000 years, and the existing relatively complete Great Wall remains are mainly built in the 14th century of the Ming Great Wall, this symbolizes the wisdom of the Chinese people and the spirit of hardship and hard work, symbolizes the immortal building of the long-standing culture of the Chinese nation, and is still showing its vicissitudes and heaviness to the world, she, It symbolizes a nation and a culture.
Looking at the majestic building in front of him, Chen Xing felt the majestic atmosphere coming to him, and the shock in his heart was far beyond his imagination, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"The first time I saw the Great Wall, did I feel very different?" Zhang Ningning looked at Chen Xing who was standing in place and smiled.
"It's very different, when I saw it on TV, I was amazed that ancient people could build such a majestic building without any mechanical assistance, and now I see it with my own eyes and feel it completely different." Chen Xing smiled and nodded, after participating in Mr. Zhang's 80th birthday last night, Zhou Mingfang had to stay in the capital for one more day today, and specially gave him a day off, he was able to stay in the capital for one more day, he had never been to the Great Wall, and he chose here for the first stop when he came out to play, and today it was not only him and Zhang Ningning, but also Zhang Ningning's two cousins Zhang Ming and Zhang Yi, as well as a strange man named Wang Zheng. It's just that looking at his appearance, it doesn't seem to be very kind to him, even Zhang Ningning's two cousins are not very kind, and Chen Xing is too lazy to deliberately curry favor with him.
"What you see with your own eyes is naturally different from what you see on TV, and you can have more fun when you have the opportunity in the future." Zhang Ningning smiled brightly, "I can also be your tour guide." ”
"The Great Wall is one of the seven wonders of the world and one of the symbols of the Chinese nation. Wang Zheng glanced at Chen Xing with a smile.
Chen Xing smiled and didn't answer, Wang Zheng seemed to be talking with a smile, but in fact, he was a little sarcastic, Chen Xing didn't quarrel with the other party, there was no need for this, it was really unwise and meaningless to compete with the other party like the son of the capital for such an inconsequential matter.
Chen Xing didn't notice that as he fell deeper into officialdom, his personality was already quietly changing, less impulsive, and more urban.
"Do you think that everyone is pampered like you and has nothing to do, China is so big, I don't know how many people work all day long in order to make a living, in order to survive themselves, they will be like you, at any time, have this opportunity to see the Great Wall?" Zhang Ningning spoke, his tone was not good, and he went straight to Wang Zheng.
"Ning Ning, look at what you said, I don't mean anything else." Wang Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly, but in the face of Zhang Ningning, he could only smile.
"Everyone is out to play, just have fun, and don't do anything about it." At this time, Zhang Ningning's cousin Zhang Ming came out with a smile to play a round, "Little sister, Wang Zhengke heard that you are coming to visit the Great Wall, so he specially rushed over to accompany you, and you also have to experience the kindness of others." ”
"I don't know who called him." Zhang Ningning glanced at his cousin, and then turned his head away.
Zhang Ming looked at Chen Xing quietly, he didn't expect that his cousin, who seemed to be indisputable and a little unruly in the world, would stand out for a man, which had to make Zhang Ming look at Chen Xing with admiration, Wang Zheng chased his cousin for several years, and he didn't see her give Wang Zheng any good looks.
"Yes, yes, everyone will have fun when they come out, don't talk about those irrelevant, Brother Chen Xing, if you come to the capital again in the future, you can tell me, and I can be your tour guide at any time." Zhang Ming's words made Wang Zheng take advantage of the situation to find a step down, and on the surface, he was polite to Chen Xing.
"I hope I will have a chance in the future, thank you Wang Shao for your kindness." Chen Xing nodded indifferently.
One day, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning and others were spent in the play, Chen Xing appreciated the charm of these places of interest in the capital at the same time, but also felt the kind of superiority in the mentality of these children in the capital, whether it was Wang Zheng or Zhang Ming, on the surface, he talked and laughed, but in his bones he looked down on him, a small person from other places, Chen Xing knew in his heart that Wang Zheng and others maintained a polite attitude towards themselves on the surface, all because of Zhang Ningning's presence.
Among the three, only Zhang Yi, that is, Zhang Ming's younger brother, made Chen Xing feel a little incomprehensible, Zhang Yi's expression was not pretentious enthusiasm, but there was no deliberate indifference, compared with Wang Zheng and Zhang Ming, it was different.
……
The sky is clear, a few clouds are floating, the blue sky always brings people infinite fantasy, and the roaring planes are soaring in the sky.
Standing in this blue sky and white clouds, watching the clouds rise and fall, Chen Xing's mood seems to be up and down.
This is a flight from the capital to Haicheng, Zhou Mingfang came to the capital, specially to participate in the birthday banquet of the old man Zhang, and delayed in the capital for one more day, visited some friends, today to return to Haicheng, Chen Xing also ended his short, also the first trip to the capital.
"I went out with Ning Ning yesterday, and a few young people were still having fun." Zhou Mingfang was looking at the newspaper, and suddenly turned his head to Chen Xing and asked.
"It's fine." Chen Xing nodded and smiled.
"How's it going, doesn't it feel like time is too short and still unfinished?" Zhou Mingfang seemed to see Chen Xing's thoughts, and said with a smile.
"It's a bit of a pity that many places were rushed to walk around and didn't visit seriously."
"There will be opportunities in the future." Zhou Mingfang glanced at Chen Xing, and his gaze fell on the newspaper again.
After a trip to the capital, Zhou Mingfang's mood seemed to have changed, and Chen Xing felt that Zhou Mingfang was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, becoming sharper and looming.
……
As soon as Zhou Mingfang returned to Haicheng, the atmosphere in Haicheng seemed to be tense all of a sudden, and the day after Zhou Mingfang returned to Haicheng, Zhou Mingfang convened the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
The Standing Committee is like a battlefield without gunpowder, and Chen Xing really saw Zhou Mingfang's courage as a municipal party secretary for the first time.
In the process of discussion, the atmosphere was also harmonious, and Mayor Zhao Yiping actively cooperated with Zhou Mingfang's speech, showing a completely different attitude from when the provincial investigation team had not left Haicheng a while ago.
When everyone thought that Zhao Yiping took the initiative to show favor and Zhou Mingfang would not care, at the end of the Standing Committee, Yuan Jiang, Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, suddenly threw a bombshell:
"Personally, I think that Comrade Zhan Lin is not very suitable for the post of secretary general of the municipal government, his experience and ability are not enough to be qualified for this post, and besides, I heard that Comrade Zhan Lin has not been in good health for a period of time, so I suggest that the Standing Committee should also discuss the issue of Comrade Zhan Lin, and it is also our responsibility as party members to protect our cadres, if Comrade Zhan Lin is really not in good health, he should be allowed to go to a more relaxed post."
Yuan Jiang said a word, and everyone was shocked.
Zhao Fang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, shook slightly, quietly glanced in the direction of Zhou Mingfang, and secretly said in his heart, Zhou Mingfang finally made a move.
Looking at Mayor Zhao Yiping, who had an unnatural face, Zhao Fang suddenly felt a little happy in his heart, fortunately, during the investigation team's investigation of Xing Tiande, with many years of understanding of Zhou Mingfang, he did not jump out in a hurry, otherwise, Zhou Mingfang's move to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger today is not only to shock Zhao Yiping, the tigress, but even he is afraid that he will be beaten.
In the days when he was in Beijing, Zhao Yiping instructed Chen Zheng, executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, to vigorously cooperate with the work of the investigation team, and to investigate the people involved in the Xingtiande case in depth without fear of power. Huang Ping knew in his heart that Zhao Yiping was eager to point the spearhead of Xing Tiande's case at Zhou Mingfang, but after working in Haicheng for several years, Huang Ping didn't dare to have any thoughts, and now the result is clear, Zhao Yiping, who has only been in Haicheng for a short time, jumped out without knowing the depths, and finally tasted the bitterness today.
Zhan Lin, secretary general of the municipal government, was originally the former mayor Zeng Xueping's person, Zeng Xueping was accidentally transferred to the provincial capital, and now his position has been clear, as the deputy secretary-general of the provincial party committee and the director of the provincial archives bureau.
"I have been in contact with Comrade Zhan Lin for the past few days, and I haven't seen anything abnormal in his body, I don't know where Comrade Yuanjiang heard that Comrade Zhan Lin is not in good health?" Zhao Yiping's face was a little unsightly, she glanced at the silent Zhou Mingfang, and tried her best to suppress her anger, she knew in her heart that without Zhou Mingfang's instructions, Yuan Jiang would definitely not shoot at her.
"Yes, but how did I hear that Comrade Zhan Lin is not in good health, I guess someone is talking nonsense." Yuan Jiang looked surprised and said with a pretentious expression.
"Comrade Zhan Lin is in good health, and I think there is no problem for him to continue to serve as the secretary general, and I still believe in his ability." Zhao Yiping said indifferently, how could she not see that Zhou Mingfang was going to take down Zhan Lin in order to beat her, but she had to stand up, Zhan Lin was one of the first people to fall to her, if Zhou Mingfang took it in one fell swoop this time, Zhao Yiping knew that the little prestige she had worked so hard to build up in Haicheng would disappear again, and the group of people who attached to her would also panic, which was a great blow to her.
"Mayor Zhao may not know that Comrade Zhan Lin has served as the secretary general of the municipal government for several years, but he has been criticized by people, not to mention that his experience and ability are not qualified for the work of the secretary general, and his life style also has some problems, and there are often rumors in the city that Comrade Zhan Lin has a third party outside, so that the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, and his wife is clamoring to divorce him, and once he even went to the city government building, and there are many onlookers, which has caused a very bad impact on the city."
"After all, rumors are rumors, and our party members and comrades should seek truth from facts and speak according to the truth, instead of believing those false rumors." Zhao Yiping retorted.
"Mayor Zhao, these are not some false rumors, Comrade Zhan Lin's wife went to the municipal government building, and everyone here knows it very well."
Zhao Yiping looked at the others suspiciously, everyone's expressions were not different, Zhao Yiping couldn't help but believe Yuan Jiang's words, but even so, Zhao Yiping would not give up to protect Zhan Lin, if Zhan Lin was replaced, it would not only be as simple as replacing a municipal government secretary-general, but would hit her prestige, and it would also break up the little people's hearts she was currently gathering.
"Since Comrade Zhan Lin had this kind of problem before, why didn't he immediately adjust his work at that time, but waited until now to mention it?" Zhao Yiping stared at Yuan Jiang with burning eyes, although she knew that the other party was instructed by Zhou Mingfang behind her, her words were still very sharp, and if she wanted to add to the crime, there was no excuse, in Zhao Yiping's heart, at this time, Zhou Mingfang and even Yuan Jiang and others were thinking like this.
"In this way, Mayor Yiping and Minister Yuanjiang don't have to argue anymore, since this issue has been raised, then we will vote on it at the Standing Committee, do you have any opinions?" Zhou Mingfang said lightly, looked around at everyone, and said, "Since no one objects, let's raise your hand to vote, and think that Comrade Zhan Lin is not suitable to be the secretary general of the municipal government." ”
As soon as Zhou Mingfang's voice fell, Yuan Jiang, the head of the organization department, had already taken the lead in raising his hand, followed by Li Baojin, secretary general of the municipal party committee, and then Zhao Fang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, also slowly raised his hand, and Cao Ling, director of the propaganda department of the municipal party committee...... In addition to Feng Yun, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, who abstained, and Shen Fang, executive vice mayor, also abstained, Mayor Zhao Yiping did not raise his hand, and in the Standing Committee, except for Zhou Mingfang, they all raised their hands in favor of Yuanjiang's opinion.
The ending is not very unexpected, although the construction was proposed by Yuan Jiang, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is Zhou Mingfang's meaning, and the results of the Standing Committee have already interpreted Zhou Mingfang's authority in Haicheng City.
Zhao Yiping silently accepted this result, she couldn't say that she had any joy or anger in her heart, knowing that her arm couldn't twist her thigh, she still worked hard, Zhou Mingfang intended to beat her, Zhao Yiping knew better than anyone that taking Zhan Lin was Zhou Mingfang's inevitable move, she knew that she couldn't do it but still did it, and spread it, and it couldn't be said that she didn't have a little protection for her subordinates.
