Chapter 23

"The surname is Zhang, you wait, Lao Tzu will definitely let you roll up and get out."

Zhang Ruoming was just about to go downstairs, Wang Huachuan's hysterical voice came from behind, and he snorted coldly, Zhang Ruoming ignored it and went downstairs by himself, what Zhang Ruoming didn't notice was that Wang Huachuan behind him seemed to be unwilling, and stood in place angrily for a while, and then followed Zhang Ruoming's footsteps.

At noon at the Haitian Hotel, Zhang Ruoming and Chen Xing had lunch together, Zhang Ruoming seemed to be in a good mood, the two old classmates talked and laughed, Chen Xing ate a few bites of food, and he didn't see the old classmates at all, and said, "Ruoming, I'm afraid there is something to be handed over to you to do." ”

"Chen Xing, if there is anything you command, you are now not only my old classmate, but also my superior, if you have something to explain, I will not bow to death." Zhang Ruoming said half-jokingly, but his expression was straightened, and he was treated with twelve points of spirit in his heart about what this old classmate who was the mayor wanted to explain.

"It's not so strict, if that's the case, I don't dare to let you do it, otherwise your wife will find me desperately." Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand, "Ruoming, you are a local, and you work in a government unit, do you know any friends from the Public Security Bureau?" ”

"From the Public Security Bureau?" Zhang Ruoming was stunned for a moment, thinking about all kinds of possibilities, he didn't expect to ask him this, and looked at Chen Xing suspiciously, "Chen Xing, you are the dignified mayor, if you want the people from the Public Security Bureau to do something, it's not just a matter of words." ”

"Hey, it's not as simple as you think." Chen Xing smiled dumbly, "When the leaders are still in the air, you think that when you become a leader and sit in that position, everyone will be obedient." ”

"That's for sure, you look at a hard-working little clerk like us, who usually don't even have the opportunity to see the city leaders, but I am fortunate to see them, but they are all silent, and they dare not come out.

"You're talking about a status quo at your level, and when you get to the top, if you have the opportunity to become the director in the future, you'll know, besides, there are many ways to do it." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Also, I seem to have overheard our director muttering in private that the leaders of the city don't understand the economy and are blindly commanding, listening to his tone, in fact, he doesn't have much respect for the leaders of the city, it seems that the position is different, and everyone's mentality is really different." Zhang Ruoming nodded, as for the sentence that Chen Xing said later, Zhang Ruoming automatically filtered it, he didn't dare to pick up the stubble, and he didn't dare to think so far, the chief? I never dreamed of anything like that.

After a bit of gossip, Zhang Ruoming quickly got back to business, "Chen Xing, I do know one or two friends from the Public Security Bureau, but they are all ordinary policemen, I just don't know what you want to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to help." ”

"If you can't help it, you have to try to know." Chen Xing said with a smile, "In this way, you go and ask them to help me inquire about a case related to Zhou Yan in the Nanming District Bureau, don't say that I asked you to go, just say that you are interested, as for how much you can inquire, then you will be subject to the destiny of heaven, and you will not force it." ”

"Zhou Yan?" Zhang Ruoming was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Xing quietly, and had too many doubts in his heart, strange that Chen Xing, as the mayor of a city, wanted to know what to call the leaders of the Public Security Bureau directly, why bother with this kind of trouble, curiously wanted to ask the reason, the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, remembering this name carefully in his heart, Zhang Ruoming nodded very simply, "Okay, I'll call my friends after lunch and ask them to ask." ”

"Nacheng, I'll wait for your news." Chen Xing smiled, "I called you out for this matter, after we finish talking about business, it is only right that we hurry up and fill our stomachs." ”

Chen Xing and Zhang Ruoming were eating, but outside the hotel, Wang Huachuan was sitting in the car with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the door of the hotel from time to time, his face full of anger.

"Chuanzi, I said who are you trying to clean up, the brothers are still hungry." An Audi A6 was parked next to Wang Huachuan's car, and in it was a young man about the same age as Wang Huachuan, and there was a Lexus next to him, which seemed to be in the same group as them.

"The people in the unit, working under me, doing it, giving Lao Tzu a dead face every day, Lao Tzu has long seen that he is unhappy, and he has to clean him up today." Wang Huachuan is still on fire now, he followed Zhang Ruoming out of the door, saw Zhang Ruoming take a taxi to leave, so he drove his own car to follow, and followed him to the door of the Haitian Hotel, confirming that Zhang Ruoming was eating inside, Wang Huachuan simply called a few of his brothers, ready to wait for the rabbit outside, and took advantage of today's efforts to repair Wang Huachuan fiercely.

"Tsk, you are still the director, you can't even control one of your own subordinates, look at you in the unit so poked, and I'm not afraid to embarrass your Lao Tzu, Chuanzi, if you want me to say that you don't waste time in the unit, come out and make some business with your brothers, don't dare to say that you make a fortune, it's no problem to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year." When the people on the side heard this, they laughed.

"Fuck off, you think I'm willing to spend time in the unit, it's not that my dad has to let me in, otherwise I won't be able to go in." Wang Huachuan pursed his lips, and raised his hand to look at the time, "Fuck it, this kid surnamed Zhang is eating inside, let's wait outside hungry, wait for him to come out later, the brothers will give me a few beats, and ask for more interest to come back." ”

"If you want me to say, let's just go in and beat him, and wait for a ball outside." The young man in the other car walked down and leaned on Wang Huachuan's car, "Huazi, if he eats inside for an hour or two, you won't let the brothers wait outside for an hour or two, everyone is hungry, you have to be considerate and considerate of the brothers." ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to rush inside and beat someone?" Wang Huachuan hesitated for a moment, "I heard that this Haitian Hotel has a bit of a background, I'm afraid it's not good for us to make trouble inside." ”

"Regardless of whether it has a background or not, we don't want to smash the hotel field, we just go in to settle personal grievances, even if the owner of the hotel is big, he can't care about this with us." The man disagreed, "Huazi, I said that you have been sitting in this unit for a long time, and your courage is getting smaller and smaller, this is not like you before." ”

"Get out, who said that Lao Tzu has become less courageous, Lao Tzu is called cautious, understand? Be cautious in mixing officialdom. Wang Huachuan's eyes widened, and he said in a decent manner, "Forget it, to say to a person like you who doesn't understand politics is to play the piano to a cow." ”

"It's good that I haven't eaten lunch yet, otherwise I would have vomited." The person who spoke scoffed, and when he saw Wang Huachuan's fist, he flashed to the side with a smile.

A few people waited outside for a while, and Wang Huachuan finally couldn't help it, "This girl came to the hotel at 11 o'clock, and after eating a meal for so long, is it possible to know that our brother is waiting for him outside, and he doesn't dare to come out." ”

"Unless you're following him and you're detected." A person next to him said.

"Let's not wait, isn't it just beating people, damn, it's such a mother-in-law, just go in." The other was already waiting impatiently.

Wang Huachuan and a few friends were out together, but they didn't know that Zhang Ruoming came to the hotel early, but they just wanted to prepare in advance, so as to wait for Chen Xing to come over, Chen Xing arrived at the hotel at about 12 o'clock, Zhang Ruoming himself waited for more than 40 minutes, not to eat at all when he came to the hotel, Wang Huachuan was waiting outside from the beginning, and he felt that he had waited for a long time.

In a VIP box at Haitian Hotel, Zheng Guangfu sat on a chair with a big sting, one foot stepped directly onto another chair very unsightly, and in addition to him, there was also a woman in the whole box.

"Come here and give me a pinch twice." Zheng Guangfu looked at the little young woman in front of him like a mouse seeing a cat, and a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes.

Tan Fang lowered her head, walked behind Zheng Guangfu, carefully placed her slightly trembling hand on Zheng Guangfu's shoulder, kneaded it gently, and didn't say a word, this luxuriously decorated box was like a hell cage for her, Tan Fang came in, and the whole person was like a lost soul.

"You said that Lu Xiaojing wanted to block Chen Xing's car at the gate of the city government?" Feeling the soft little hands on his shoulders, Zheng Guangfu snorted comfortably, as if asking casually.

"Well, Miss Lu is a little unwilling, she said that she must meet with Mayor Chen." Tan Fang replied softly.

"It's really a naΓ―ve little girl, did she think that she could save their Lu family's hotel by seeing Mayor Chen, those officials are more black-hearted than anyone else, they are all masters who eat people and don't spit out bones, she really thinks everyone is a bodhisattva who saves suffering." Zheng Guangfu smiled sarcastically, he had never really had contact with Chen Xing, but he obviously interpreted Chen Xing's personality according to his own perception of those in power.

Tan Fang didn't say anything, she cursed Zheng Guangfu viciously in her heart, not everyone is as insidious and despicable as him and does everything, she is willing to believe that there are always good people in this world.

"Why, are you cursing me in your heart at the moment?" Zheng Guangfu smiled playfully, Tan Fang's inner emotions had some subtle expressions in his body language, and the force from his shoulders suddenly became a little heavier.

"No... No. Tan Fang's body trembled, and she quickly shook her head and denied it.

"Haha, I just like to see you look so weak." Seeing Tan Fang trembling with fear under his eyes, Zheng Guangfu burst into a hearty laugh.

Glancing at Tan Fang, Zheng Guangfu said seemingly casually, "I heard that your husband seems to be from a law firm?" By the way, I've seen a photo of your son, a very cute little doll, carved in pink, I like it when I see it. ”

"What do you want to do?" Tan Fang raised his head suddenly, staring at Zheng Guangfu deadly, like a hen protecting a calf being stepped on in a sore spot, Tan Fang, who had always seemed to be submissive, plucked up the courage to look at Zheng Guangfu.

"Ha, I didn't do anything, just talk about it, look at you're nervous." Zheng Guangfu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "The old saying is really good, a woman is a sleeping tiger, if you don't scratch the sore spot, it doesn't matter how you tease it, if you scratch the sore spot, obediently, that's terrible, look at your little daughter-in-law who dares to stare at me." ”

"You promised me, I will do things for you, you will not hurt my husband and son." Tan Fang stared straight at Zheng Guangfu.

"Of course, I promised you, and I will also talk and count, don't worry, although I, Zheng Guangfu, am a sinister villain, but I won't do that kind of backsliding, your husband and son have nothing to do with me, why should I deal with them, don't you say? To put it mildly, I want to deal with them, they don't have the qualifications yet. Zheng Guangfu snorted smugly, his eyes turned on Tan Fang, and the smile on his face gradually became unserious, "As long as you, this little daughter-in-law, do something for me, I will naturally not touch your family, if the matter is done, maybe there will be an unexpected reward for you at that time." ”

"Mr. Zheng, I'm already doing what you said now, if you have nothing to do, I'll leave first, if there's any movement on Miss Lu's side, I'll tell you in time." Tan Fang's body trembled, because of anger and helplessness, she didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, and wanted to flee quickly.

"This is leaving? What's the hurry, we haven't talked about it yet. Zheng Guangfu pulled Tan Fang with a wicked smile, and half-forced the other party to sit on his lap, and his hands began to mess around.

"Mr. Zheng, don't be like this." Tan Fang almost pleaded with tears, the momentum that suddenly erupted just now was gone with Zheng Guangfu's promise not to hurt her family, the voice at this time was so helpless and unbearable, she wanted to struggle, but she knew that she couldn't break free from this man like a demon, "Mr. Zheng, I have promised to help you do things, if you do this again, you are trying to force me...... Forced me to call the police. ”

"No, the phone is on the table, if you want to call the police, just pick it up and call, I won't stop you." Zheng Guangfu pouted at the table, where his mobile phone was placed, seeing that Tan Fang didn't move, Zheng Guangfu also cooperated and handed the mobile phone to Tan Fang, "Hit, you are calling, don't worry, I'm waiting here." ”

Tan Fang covered her mouth and cried bitterly, looking at the mobile phone in front of her, she didn't even have the courage to reach out and take it, she didn't dare to take risks, and she was even more afraid that her family would be harmed, this world is so cruel, good people, can't be safe.

Outside the window, thunder and explosions, the dreary weather is brewing rain, and the sun is still shining in the morning, but this will be suddenly dark clouds, and the thief will change his face when he says that he will change his face, the wind is gusting, and the thunder is rolling.

"Ah, it's changed." Chen Xing looked out of the window in surprise, got up and walked to the bed, pushed the window open a little, faced the cold wind, and said with a smile, "It was still sunny just now, but in a blink of an eye, the black clouds overwhelmed the city." ”

"It's good to rain, we haven't rained in Nanzhou City for a while, this year's weather is a little abnormal, the rain is much less than usual, it's a bit drought, it's long overdue to rain more." Zhang Ruoming followed to the window, "If you want me to say, this rain is timely rain, it is better to rain more, and those ordinary people who have farming should be happy." ”

"Well, it's good to have a little more rain." Chen Xing nodded, stretched his hand out of the window, spread his palm upward, as if to catch the rain falling from the sky, and said with a smile, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and this autumn rain is the same. ”

Zhang Ruoming stood at the window, and Wang Huachuan, who was planning to enter the hotel downstairs to find someone, looked up coldly and saw Zhang Ruoming, his eyes lit up, ", God really wants to help me, I still have a headache I don't know which box this surnamed Zhang is eating in, but he stood up by himself, brothers, follow me in, just the one on the third floor." ”

Wang Huachuan took a few friends into the hotel and went straight to the third floor of the hotel, Zhang Ruoming was not blind, when he saw Wang Huachuan's figure downstairs, Zhang Ruoming's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and said that this Wang Huachuan came to this hotel for dinner, this is really not a family together, Nanzhou City said that it is not big, it is not small, and even a meal will be in the same hotel with the other party, at this moment, Zhang Ruoming did not think about other places at all.

"What, do you see an acquaintance?" Chen Xing saw Zhang Ruoming staring downstairs and asked with a smile.

"A boss in the unit, I didn't expect to even meet at dinner." Zhang Ruoming shook his head and smiled.

"By the way, what's going on in the morning, when I called you, it seems that I heard a quarrel, who are you screwing with in the unit?" Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ruoming with a smile, he still understood Zhang Ruoming's temperament.

"As far as the deputy director Wang I told you, I don't know what gunpowder he ate in the morning, and he scolded me for a while, so I choked on him." Zhang Ruoming said with a wry smile.

"Ruoming, you really have to change your temperament, let's not talk about who is right and who is wrong, if you want to eat in the system, then you have to smooth out your edges and corners, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, I believe you have worked for so many years, you should also have a lot of experience." Chen Xing said with a smile, this can be regarded as a kind reminder to his old classmates.

A few years ago, I had the hope of competing for the deputy director of our department, and the director at that time had a good relationship with me, and took care of me, and I leaked in advance to say that I had great hope, but the result was not a bamboo basket to draw water, and was robbed of the position by a relational household that was airborne, and it was said that a deputy director of the bureau forced it in.

More than a year ago, the deputy director was promoted to director, the old director who had a good relationship with me was transferred, and he also wanted to help me fight for the position of the deputy director before leaving, but in the end, it was Wang Huachuan who had only worked in the bureau for a year to be promoted, he had just graduated from a young young job in less than four years and was promoted to deputy director. and darkness, I can see through it, so now I simply fish for three days and dry the net for two days, late arrival and early departure are common, and in the unit it is almost said that it is an old fritter. Zhang Ruoming shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If you want to mix well in this system, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, and there is no one, there is only one word, it's difficult." Chen Xing sighed, "It's as hard as climbing to the sky, just a few years after I came out, my situation is the same as yours, not much better than you." ”

"Well, just two years after graduation, I also heard from you, you entered the municipal research room, I thought you were ready to eat with an iron rice bowl and wait for death in your life, I didn't expect you to be more promising than me, no, it should be said that you are very promising, give our class a long face, who would have thought that our B5 class would have a mayor, or such a young mayor." Zhang Ruoming said proudly, "At the graduation meeting, the old president said that today we are proud of our alma mater, and tomorrow our alma mater will be proud of us. ”

"Speaking of my alma mater, it is inevitably reminiscent of the happy times in college, when the years have passed, we have all stepped into the age of standing, and your children can also play soy sauce." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"This should be the room." Outside the door, there was a sudden discordant voice, and with these words, the door was pushed open, and several young men stood at the door.

Chen Xing looked at a few people at the door, puzzled, and was about to ask a question, when he heard the other party speak, "The surname is Zhang, you are really here, hum, today Lao Tzu will charge some interest first, and tomorrow I will let you roll up and get out." ”

The person who spoke was Wang Huachuan, as if he saw a lamb to be slaughtered, Wang Huachuan was confident that a few people on his side could eat and live Zhang Ruoming steadily, as for Chen Xing, Wang Huachuan didn't pay attention to it at all, it was nothing more than one more person, Wang Huachuan thought that his brothers could easily handle it.

"Ruoming, what's going on?" Chen Xing turned his head to look at Zhang Ruoming, and as soon as the words fell, several people on the opposite side rushed up, Chen Xing, the newly appointed acting mayor, had only been in office for more than ten days, and he encountered all martial arts.

In the small box, there was a chaos, Chen Xing was not attacked at all, and Li Yong, the driver who had been waiting outside the door, saw that the situation was wrong, and he had already blocked him, staring at Wang Huachuan and the others vigilantly.

"Xiao Li, don't take care of me, go help my classmates first." Chen Xing frowned, Wang Huachuan and the others did not attack him, but they all went to his old classmate Zhang Ruoming.
