When Chen Xing came out of the little girl's house, it was already more than one o'clock at noon, and the sky in the afternoon was gloomy, just like Chen Xing's mood at the moment, the little girl's family finally chose to settle the matter, the reason is very simple, they are afraid of making things bigger, afraid of retaliation, they are just ordinary people, no money and no power, the other party is the president of the bank, a great big man, he can't afford to provoke, he can only hide, and their daughter has not been substantially harmed, the other party has also come to apologize, and left 20,000 yuan as compensation, This is a lot of money for the little girl's family, and it is their family's harvest for a year, and for these reasons, the little girl's parents, even though they know that the county officials are helping them this time, they still decided to settle the matter just like that, and for them, this is the best result.

Chen Xing did not tell the little girl's family his identity, the little girl's family only said that he was an official, and did not know that he was the highest authority in Ximen County, Wang Zhong wanted to remind him, Chen Xing secretly stopped it, saying that it was the same as not saying it, for the little girl's family, there was a compensation of 20,000 yuan, and the other party promised not to harass again, this is the most important thing, is it important that the county party secretary is helping them out? The answer is unimportant.

Because the secretary of the county party committee will not give them 20,000 yuan, and they may be retaliated against, even if the little girl's family knows his identity, although they will be more grateful, but more will only be embarrassed, because they don't want to make a big deal about it, and the people in the world probably have such a common mentality: afraid of things! The awe of power makes them deeply feel powerless and fearful, which is a kind of servility hidden in the bones when facing the privileged class, and it is not an overnight effort to change.

Chen Xing was depressed in his heart, he was also a member of the privileged class, the little girl's father was grateful to him and awe-inspiring at the same time, Chen Xing could clearly feel that mentality, although he just regarded himself as an ordinary person, but in the eyes of the little girl's father, he was still a high-ranking official, Chen Xing felt very sad about this fact for no reason, this is also the sadness of the country's current political system, serving the people, just became a slogan, Under the current system, a large group of privileged and powerful people have emerged, and millions of ordinary people, who are supposed to be the masters of the country, have become the biggest victims.

"I should also make a good review of last night's incident, for the hundreds of millions of loans, I indirectly connived at and contributed to Zeng Yaoqing's bad behavior." Fang Xiao felt that Chen Xing was in a bad mood, and he also took the initiative to take responsibility.

"Your approach is understandable." Chen Xing said calmly, the reason why he was depressed was not because he was angry with Zeng Yaoqing, but more because of his helplessness and sorrow for such a social situation, even if he was the secretary of a county party committee, in this context, it was also small and insignificant, dealing with one Zeng Yaoqing, and thousands of Zeng Yaoqing, how much role can he play alone? What's more important is that his actions that he thinks are righteous may actually harm the little girl's family.

"What about Secretary Chen's attitude towards this matter?" Fang Xiao looked at Chen Xing from the side, and knew more about Chen Xing, and Fang Xiao admired the young county party secretary a little more, without the slightest arrogance, which was commendable.

"It's not like I can do what I want, I can use the limited power in my hands to help the disadvantaged people get justice, but I can't make decisions on their behalf." Chen Xing sighed helplessly, the little girl took the initiative to go to the Public Security Bureau to change her testimony, saying that she was voluntary, and last night's incident was just a misunderstanding.

Fang Xiao was also silent at this time, perhaps, this was really a happy result! The county rural commercial bank replied to the county today that the loan would be done soon, Fang Xiao didn't have to think about it to guess that it was Zeng Yaoqing's goodwill, and there was such a hidden meaning in it, exchange! Use those hundreds of millions of loans as a price to settle last night's events.

I have to say that Chen Xing suddenly came so tough, but it made Zeng Yaoqing take a break, and he didn't even dare to use the loan as a bargaining chip, but hurriedly handled the loan, this kind of result was unexpected by Fang Xiao in advance, but would Chen Xing stop there? Fang Xiao couldn't guess what this superior, who was much younger than himself, would think.

In the capital, the old man of the Zhang family, who had just finished taking a nap for half an hour, was chatting energetically with his second son Zhang Guozhong about things in Beijing, from the high-level of the central government, down to the peddler pawn, you can hear some from the chat between the two, Zhang Guozhong and the old man are alone together, they also have nothing to talk about, and they know that the old man seems to be talking to him, but he can often capture some useful information from his words, and often ask some questions that even he can't answer, don't look at the old man who stays at home all day, However, his understanding of world affairs is not inferior to that of any incumbent high-level central government, and his thinking about current affairs is still wise and keen.

Zhang Guozhong is already sixty years old, among the older generation of red children in the capital, known as the old and indecent nickname, often giggling with others, but in front of the old man dare not be presumptuous, the rules are very good, at this moment the father and son chatted and mentioned Chen Xing, only to hear the old man Zhang said, "Chen Xing's little comrade became the secretary of the county party committee." ”

"yes, the young man is not bad." Zhang Guozhong nodded with a smile, and said so, but his opinion in his heart can only be described as bland, Chen Xing is almost thirty years old, and he is in the right place, in his eyes, the right place at this age is too ordinary, the only thing that can be praised is that this position is the secretary of the county party committee, not an ordinary position, like the department of the provincial department, it is also a cadre at the department level, but it is completely incomparable with the position of the secretary of the county party committee.

Zhang Guozhong replied, glanced at the old man, and said with a smile, "Dad, look at the person you gave Ning Ning to the baby, even the person she likes you have paid special attention to, but in the past, at least provincial and ministerial-level cadres could enter your sight." ”

"The young man can let him move again, but he can't be too sharp, Chen Xing, this young man, is walking quickly and quickly in these few steps, he should be allowed to go to the organ to exercise and hide his edge." Old Man Zhang ignored his son's little joke and pondered.

"Huh? Dad, what do you mean? Zhang Guozhong was slightly shocked and looked at his father.

"I'll leave this matter to you, it's almost the end of the year, Ning Ning's marriage is going to be done, Chen Xing, this young man will be more convenient in the capital." After speaking, Old Man Zhang waved his hand towards his second son.

As soon as he saw the old man's posture, Zhang Guozhong knew that it was time to leave, and stood up, but Zhang Guozhong was absent-minded, remembering what the old man had just said in his mind, the old man didn't understand it too much, but he had to figure out what the old man meant, and Chen Xing, who was far away in Ximen, didn't know that his life was going to a higher place, and this time, it was the old man Zhang who ordered it.

……

In the No. 1 conference room of the Ximen County Party Committee, the scene where Chen Xing was appointed as the secretary of the county party committee a few days ago and today's scene feel familiar, but the protagonist last time was Chen Xing, and this time, it was replaced by Fang Xiao, the deputy county magistrate.

Zhang Mingde, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization of the Municipal Party Committee, sat in the center of the rostrum, and there was only one leader of the Municipal Party Committee who came today, and Zhang Mingde naturally became the central figure, this time, Zhang Mingde also took the appointment of the Municipal Party Committee, and the deputy county magistrate Fang Xiao was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Ximen County Party Committee, and was nominated as a candidate for county magistrate.

The applause is different, light and heavy, under each face, there are also different moods, at least at this moment, for Li Shaotong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, he can't be happy anyway, he once again lost to the county magistrate, the last time was lost to Chen Xing, and this time, lost to Fang Xiao, behind the applause, is Li Shaotong's gloomy side.

When Fang Xiao came to the stage to speak, Li Shaotong almost gritted his steel teeth, thinking that when he was the deputy secretary of the county party committee, Fang Xiao was just a section chief of the county government office, in Li Shaotong's eyes, he was just an inconspicuous little person, but he was promoted step by step because he was promoted by Chang Yong, the county magistrate at that time.

"Chang Yong's unlucky ghost didn't pull Fang Xiao off the horse when he was in trouble." Li Shaotong thought hatefully in his heart, Fang Xiao met Chang Yong, a nobleman, so that he could go from a small section chief in the county government office to a deputy county magistrate, Chang Yong had an accident, but Fang Xiao was not implicated, the more Li Shaotong thought about it now, the more unwilling he became, he had been looking forward to the position of county magistrate for several years, and the last two opportunities were so good, but they were missed.

Defeated by Chen Xing, although Li Shaotong is unwilling, but he can still accept a little, after all, Chen Xing has Zhou Mingfang's big backer, he is the head of the Provincial Party Committee, and he wants to promote Chen Xing, it is just a matter of one sentence, Li Shaotong thinks that he has no such hard background, he can't fight Chen Xing, Li Shaotong also admitted, but this time he lost to Fang Xiao, Li Shaotong is really unwilling, Fang Xiao, who was just a small person in his eyes in the past, has now climbed to the top of his head, Li Shaotong can't balance in his heart, the most important thing is that Fang Xiao has no background and no qualifications, but it rode on his head.

After the cadre meeting, at noon, the county received Zhang Mingde, the head of the organization department, in the hotel, and the main leaders of the county party committee and county government attended by Chen Xing, Fang Xiao, and Li Shao.

Although Li Shaotong was unwilling, he also went through the motions slightly, with Zhang Mingde here, Li Shaotong could only accompany him in a decent manner, there was no way to leave the table in advance, and he did not dare to destroy the atmosphere at such a time, only to swallow the bitter water in his stomach, but in the eyes of Chen Xing, Li Shaotong hid a trace of deep hatred, this time Fang Xiao was able to become the county magistrate, Li Shaotong knew that the key person was still Chen Xing, Chen Xing strongly recommended Fang Xiao to take over the post of county magistrate, which undoubtedly became the biggest advantage of Fang Xiao's victory.

Chen Xing is now the secretary of the county party committee, pressing him, no matter how much Li Shaotong holds a grudge against Chen Xing, he can only bury it in his heart, when Chen Xing was still a deputy county magistrate, Li Shaotong couldn't fight Chen Xing, now, Chen Xing is on his head, Li Shaotong knows that he is even less qualified to fight with Chen Xing, except to endure or endure.

After eating, when everyone else left, Chen Xing and Zhang Mingde changed places, and the two continued to make tea and chat, Zhang Mingde looked a little high-spirited, as he wished to be the head of the organization of the listing committee, Zhang Mingde took another important step in his career, this is the position of a deputy hall of real power, and this also means that Zhang Mingde has a greater right to speak at the level of the prefecture and city, Zhang Mingde is very satisfied with this.

"Chen Xing, I see that Secretary Kunming attaches great importance to you." There are no outsiders, Zhang Mingde and Chen Xing talk a little casually, this time Fang Xiao's appointment, Zhang Mingde knows the inside story, there are also leaders in the city who recommend Li Shaotong, deputy secretary of the county party committee, Li Shaotong is an old cadre, with qualifications, prestige is not comparable to Fang Xiao, and he also knows the situation in Ximen very well, and it is definitely no problem to be qualified for the position of county magistrate, with such many advantages, Li Shaotong finally failed to compete with Fang Xiao, Zhang Mingde is the head of the organization, and participated in the decision-making of this personnel appointment, He knew that Huang Kunming valued Chen Xing's opinion, so he asked Fang Xiao, who was strongly recommended by Chen Xing, to come up, and he couldn't help but sigh when he talked to Chen Xing at this moment.

Regarding Zhang Mingde's words, Chen Xing laughed and replied casually, he couldn't tell Zhang Mingde the real truth, because Huang Kunming had attended his engagement banquet and knew that he was the quasi-son-in-law of Governor Zhang Guohua, under this premise, Huang Kunming was naturally willing to sell him as much love as possible.

"In the future, I will have to rely on Minister Zhang to support me a lot." Chen Xing has confidence in his heart, but he is not arrogant because of this, no one in his eyes, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, Zhang Mingde has just become the head of the organization not long ago, and it is also the time when he is in high spirits, Chen Xing maintains due respect for Zhang Mingde, not to mention that there are many places where Zhang Mingde can be used in the future, the position of the head of the organization, after all, is very important, and Chen Xing is happy to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Mingde.

"Chen Xing is modest, with Minister Zhou supporting you, and Secretary Huang looking at you differently, you still need me." Zhang Mingde smiled and waved his hand, what he said was true, if he was replaced by other department-level cadres, Zhang Mingde thought that he was still qualified to carry him, and in front of Chen Xing, Zhang Mingde did not dare to hold it up.

"Yes, yes, I still want Minister Zhang's support, and I still expect to be able to follow Minister Zhang to make progress." Chen Xing said with a smile, he didn't know that the day he left Ximen could be described as a countdown, and he thought that he would stay in Ximen for at least two or three years, after all, he had just sat in the position of secretary of the county party committee.

The two chatted very comfortably, and sat for almost an hour, Zhang Mingde looked at the time, and then got up with a smile, he still has to go back to the city, it is impossible to stay in Ximen for a long time, and it is time to leave, before leaving, he did not forget to tell Chen Xing to come out and sit together in Haicheng.

Sending Zhang Mingde away, Chen Xing turned back to the hotel, He Li and Chu Rong had not left Ximen, Chen Xing called He Li, He Li immediately said that they were staying in another hotel not far from the hotel where Chen Xing was staying.

"Chen Xing, I heard that you don't pursue the matter of that rogue governor? That's too cheap for him, just like him, he almost forced a little girl, and he can sit leisurely in the position of the president of the bank, it's too unreasonable. As soon as He Li entered the door, her mouth was like a machine gun.

"The little girl went to the Public Security Bureau to change her testimony, and their family didn't want to make a big deal about it, they just wanted to live a peaceful life, things have come to this point, I am also powerless, some things, not just by their own subjective will can be done, I can only respect the wishes of their family." Chen Xing shook his head.

"What, you have to help them get ahead, they themselves are not happy, what kind of people are these, no wonder honest people have to be bullied these years, they are all not angry, and in the end they are bullied miserably, and they can only swallow their anger, which will only fuel the arrogance of those bad people, which will corrupt day by day, and the inaction of those in power is of course related, these people who swallow their anger and seem to be pitiful cannot get rid of their responsibilities." He Li said angrily.

"Xiaoli, you can't say that, just like you said, ordinary people have no power and no power, how can they fight with rich people and suffer losses, that is because God has no way to enter the earth, and there is no money if you want to sue, and it is useful to sue? The so-called law is played by the rich in the palm of their hands, for the common people, a fair judgment is a fantasy that they dare not hope for, and if they take a step back, even if they win, what can they do? They still have to be frightened, afraid of retaliation, most people choose to swallow their anger and stop fighting, that is a normal choice, you can't say that people are not angry, hey, this society is so cruel. Chu Rong refuted He Li's words, she also endured hardships, and she had a deep understanding of the ups and downs.

"I'm just talking about it casually, look at Sister Chu, you're about to be anxious with me." He Li said with a smile.

Chen Xing listened to the two of them insisting on their own words, and also smiled, "What He Li said makes sense, but what Chu Rong said is also the truth, so I said, I can only choose to calm down this matter, since the little girl's family is worried about being harassed, maybe I think that I want to help them stand out and uphold justice will only bring them trouble, then I will simply respect their ideas, not to mention that there is such a time, I believe that Zeng Yaoqing should also be restrained in the future, and dare not mess around again." ”

Chen Xing still hasn't said anything, he will take advantage of the situation to put this matter aside, how much has something to do with the hundreds of millions of loans, Zeng Yaoqing quickly handled the loan, which undoubtedly made Chen Xing hesitate, after all, the loan is also very important to the county, and the current result is not the result he is most willing to see, but it may be the best.

"Forget it, I can't care about this kind of idle business, so let's save myself worries." He Li glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, moved the chair to Chen Xing's side, and then glanced at the doorknob again, she had a backlock when she came in just now, which will make sure again, she wanted to mess around again, just withdrew her eyes, and sat on Chen Xing's lap.

"xx, we've got caught." Opposite the hotel, the two private detectives who were very dedicated to tracking He Li and the two finally determined the room where He Li was, put on the binoculars and took a look, and immediately saw the scene of He Li getting up and sitting on Chen Xing's lap, and the person looking at the telescope shouted excitedly and waved to another companion.
