Chapter VIII
It was almost evening when Chen Xing returned to the county government, and the next morning, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of Li Zheng, which was attended by several principal leaders of the county government and responsible persons of organs and units directly under the county government.
Chen Xing as a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and deputy county magistrate who ranked second only to Li Zheng in the county government also attended the meeting, this is the fourth day he went to Ximen, for Li Zheng, in addition to seeing the other party coming back from the countryside yesterday, the car entered the county government compound, when the other party got off the car, Chen Xing had a glance, today is the first time Chen Xing and Li Zheng met.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a little silent, Chen Xing was secretly looking at Li Zheng, Li Zheng was also observing Chen Xing, Li Zheng, who heard that Chen Xing would come to Ximen, regarded Chen Xing as an enemy from the beginning, and now it is no exception, Li Zheng, who looked indifferent on the surface, gritted his teeth with hatred for Chen Xing in his heart.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Zheng, who was sitting in the main seat, opened his mouth for the first time, "There are two main things to discuss today, and you all have the information in your hands, so if you have any opinions, please speak freely." ”
Chen Xing looked at the information in his hand, the two main topics of today's meeting are in it, one is about the county government procurement of 12 cars, and the other is the shantytown renovation that Chen Xing was concerned about before, which is a major event that the former county magistrate Chang Yong has not completed, looking at Li Zheng's attitude today, it seems that he also wants to continue to promote the shantytown transformation project.
Frowning slightly, Chen Xing naturally supports the second shantytown renovation project, but he is a little dissatisfied with the first thing, the financial situation of Ximen County is there, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as overstretched, but now he has to spend such an extra amount of money to purchase cars, Chen Xing really does not agree with this.
"I have no objection to the county buying a car, the key is whether it is useful to buy it, and I believe everyone knows the financial situation of the county, is it worth spending this money?" Chen Xing glanced at Li Zheng in the main seat and spoke.
Li Zheng didn't speak, I saw him pick up the cup in front of him, coughed lightly, Zhang Ming, director of the county government office who was sitting in a corner of the conference room, said with a smile, "County Magistrate Chen, the situation is like this, there are only ten cars in our county at present, and they are all a little old, and there are often some problems, the most important thing is that there are too few cars, not enough, and there are often cases where the county leaders want to go out to run errands and have no cars available, so the purchase of these cars is also taken into account of the current situation. It's not that you have to spend this unjust money for no reason. ”
"No car available? How can there be a situation where there is no car available? Even if every leader in our county is equipped with a special car, and there are still four cars available for your office to dispatch, it is difficult for every staff member in your office to be equipped with a special car. Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ming unceremoniously, at present, except for Chang Yong, the former county magistrate who has been taken away by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Li Zheng, the executive deputy county magistrate who temporarily acts as the county government, the deputy county magistrate adds up to six people, and it is unlikely that there will be a shortage of cars at all.
According to the regulations of the state, it is the ministerial-level cadres who can allocate cars according to the standard of one person, and the deputy ministerial-level cadres ensure that they use the car for work, and Chen Xing is too lazy to move out of this kind of regulations to increase the joke, the reality of the situation, not to mention the department-level cadres, department-level cadres, as long as they are section-level cadres with real power, they can enjoy special cars, Ximen County itself is a poor county, and every leader of the county government is still equipped with a special car. This is obviously a violation of the state's regulations on the use of cars by cadres, but the reality is that Chen Xing will not find fault with this now. But now the county has to spend another money to buy a new car, Chen Xing has to raise an objection, if Ximen County is as rich as other counties and cities below Haicheng, Chen Xing will not say anything, but the economic situation of Ximen County is there, Chen Xing can't help but put forward an opinion, compared to this outdated system, Chen Xing can only be regarded as a newcomer in the system, and there is not much sand in his eyes.
"Hehe, County Magistrate Chen, the main thing is that the original cars in our county are relatively old, and the county leaders go out in such a car, which is really damaging to the image of the leaders, and also damaging the image of our Ximen. There are often such and such problems, once there is a problem, it has to be sent for maintenance, so there are often some leaders who want to go out to run errands without a car. ”
Zhang Ming smiled a little unnaturally, he didn't expect Chen Xing to be so serious, purchasing a new car, the most direct benefit is first of all these leaders in the county, when everyone will change a special car, for the leader, in fact, the special car is almost equal to the family's private car, this kind of good thing everyone will not object, Chen Xing will jump out, which caught Zhang Ming a little off guard, but the next moment, Zhang Ming sneered a little, Chen Xing's approach violated everyone's interests, Chen Xing was undoubtedly pitting himself against others, and Zhang Ming was happy to see this happen.
"Affect the image of our leaders? Affect the investment attraction of Ximen? Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Ming questioningly in a rhetorical tone, shook his head and said, "I don't see it that way, if I am an investor, I would prefer to see the pragmatic side of this county government, so that my money can be invested at ease, if a county government does its best to make a good face and exaggerated things, it will only make me uneasy about this government, the situation in our county is there, as soon as the investors come to our Ximen, they know that they are poor here, and the people are so poor, and the leaders of the county have started to make good cars one by one. What do you think this will make people think? Besides, Director Zhang thinks that if the county changes a few good cars to receive investors, it will make people think that our Ximen County is not poor? I think a county is not poor, it can't be changed by changing a few cars, and investors are not so visionless, they want to invest, to see if there is a rate of return, not to see how many good cars the county government has, Director Zhang's words make me think that we are like the emperor in the emperor's new clothes. ”
"County Magistrate Chen, your words are also reasonable, but I am indeed thinking about the leaders of our county." Zhang Ming glanced at Chen Xing, the smile on the corner of his mouth tugged at the muscles on his face, and the smile was a little stiff.
Chen Xing turned his head to look at Li Zheng, "County Magistrate Li, my personal opinion is that there is no need for the county to purchase these cars for the time being, and if we want to promote the construction of the shantytown project in the future, it will be a severe test for our county's finances itself, and I don't think there is any need to spend more money on inconsequential matters." ”
Li Zheng, who had not spoken out just now, looked at the others lightly, his eyes swept over the faces of the people present one by one, Li Zheng felt a little proud in his heart, although Chen Xing's opposition made him a little surprised, but it did not make him angry, and some of the other people present were obviously slightly dissatisfied with Chen Xing, Li Zheng wished that everyone could stand in his camp and isolate Chen Xing.
"Comrade Chen Xing has already expressed his opinion, and everyone can also express their opinion." Li Zheng said loudly, his purpose is obvious, that is, to provoke everyone's feelings for Chen Xing, if Chen Xing can really be isolated, that is the situation that Li Zheng is most willing to see.
Li Zheng's abacus played very well, but unfortunately the other deputy county magistrates present are not stupid, and no one wants to be stupid enough to take the initiative to jump out and become a gun in Li Zheng's hands, especially when it comes to the issue of car allocation, what Chen Xing said is a very objective and true situation, and it is difficult to jump out on this issue to be accused of personal selfishness.
The meeting lasted for nearly an hour, and the issue of purchasing new cars was not finally resolved, except for the discussion at the beginning, the focus of the meeting was on the discussion of the shantytown renovation project in the back, and the main leaders in the county were undoubtedly in favor of renovating the shantytowns in the urban area, and the focus of the problem was mainly on the funds, according to the preliminary assessment in the county, the shantytowns would be renovated at least one billion yuan or more.
According to the provisions of the state, there will be a certain proportion of financial support for the transformation of shantytowns, and the central and provincial governments will allocate corresponding funds, but most of the funds still have to be raised by the local governments themselves.
Chen Xing returned to his office after the meeting, and he could learn from the successful experience of other places in the construction of shantytown renovation at the meeting, which was led by the government and adopted market-oriented operation, so that it could be financed from enterprises and solve the problem of funds needed for shantytown transformation.
The issue of renovating shantytowns is discussed at a meeting of the county government to come up with a preliminary result, and finally it will be submitted to the standing committee of the county party committee, which will be contacted before it can begin to enter the implementation stage.
Zhang Ming, the director of the office, followed Li Zheng back to the office, closed the door of the office, and Zhang Mingcai asked a little puzzled, "County magistrate, why didn't you force the vehicle procurement problem at the beginning?" Chen Xing has just arrived, and he can't fight you at all. ”
"Why should I force my way? What Chen Xing said is reasonable, why should I pick this head? Li Zheng glanced at Zhang Ming with a smile, he had his own plans in his heart, he could pass guò, it would be good for him, if he couldn't pass guò, it might not be bad for him, and several other deputy county magistrates wanted to sit back and enjoy their success, but he didn't let them get their way, and they wanted to enjoy it without making a little effort, but there was no door.
"I don't know why County Magistrate Jia didn't say anything just now." Zhang Ming glanced at Li Zheng suspiciously, as far as he knew, Jia Yao, the deputy county magistrate, was a die-hard supporter of Li Zheng, and the two were hugging together in the county.
"I was the one who told him not to be silent." Li Zheng smiled a little smugly.
"Oh." Zhang Ming nodded, feeling more and more strange, as early as before the purchase of the car was discussed at the meeting, Li Zheng had said to him that the car must be bought at the Shunfa car dealer in the province, although Zhang Ming didn't say anything at the time, but he knew something in his heart, Li Zheng designated the car dealership, I am afraid that he knows the boss of the car dealership, and he can also make a profit from it, of course, Zhang Ming naturally did not dare to say this kind of thing, pretending not to know, he originally thought that the purchase of this car was a matter of nine out of ten at the meeting. It is related to Li Zheng's own interests, Li Zheng will not sit idly by, but he didn't expect the procurement plan to be opposed by Chen Xingyi, Li Zheng didn't say anything, and finally let the procurement plan go away, looking at Li Zheng who was smiling a little unfathomable, Zhang Ming really didn't understand what the other party was thinking, seeing that Li Zheng didn't want to say more, Zhang Ming also smiled knowingly, "County magistrate, you are busy, then I will go out first." ”
Li Zheng waved his hand, and as soon as Zhang Ming went out, Li Zheng took out one of his personal phones from the drawer, "Hey, Sun Shao, it's me, Li Zheng." Li Zheng seemed to be facing the other party directly, and the smile on his face had already become a little flattering.
"It's County Magistrate Li." On the other end of the phone, it was Zhao Qing's husband Sun Xiang.
"Li Shao, I'm afraid the thing I told you a few days ago is going to be blown." Li Zheng said, sighed, and said, "Sun Shao, there was no problem originally, but I didn't expect that the newcomer Chen Xing actually raised an objection at the meeting, and the procurement case was not cleared in the end. ”
"Chen Xing? It's him again. ”
"Who said it wasn't, this young man was like a stunned young man, and he didn't know that this change of car was a normal thing, and it was good for everyone, he was stunned and risked offending most people, and raised an objection." Li Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Okay, if you don't have it, you don't have it, it's just a little money." Sun Xiang on the other end of the phone pouted.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'm just talking to Sun Shaoyou." Li Zheng nodded and smiled.
Ended the call with Sun Xiang, Li Zheng just now had a sigh and a wry smile on his face and instantly turned into a proud look, picked up the pen on the table, and knocked on the table for a while, Li Zheng was in a good mood at the moment, and proposed to purchase a car, it seemed that he wanted to change the car for each leader, and who would have thought that he would also take this opportunity to tie up Sun Xiang, Sun Xiang is not only in the real estate business, but also involved in other industries, the real boss behind the car shop is Sun Xiang, Li Zheng has already known about this situation, There was a scene before that Zhang Ming was required to go to the designated car dealership to buy a car.
It's a pity that this good thing was mixed up by Chen Xing, Li Zheng was not angry about it, thinking that Sun Xiang could be dissatisfied with Chen Xing because of this, Li Zheng's mood was inexplicably better, compared to losing the direct favor with Sun Xiang, his move not only sold well in front of Sun Xiang, but also successfully provoked Sun Xiang's dissatisfaction with Chen Xing, moreover, to purchase a new car, it was he who proposed that every leader in the county should change to a new car, which is good for everyone, Chen Xing's opposition at this time is enough to make others have some dislike for Chen Xing, Even if you can't let everyone be dissatisfied with Chen Xing, I'm afraid you can keep their distance from Chen Xing, Li Zheng's purpose is to isolate Chen Xing step by step, and there will be time and opportunities in the future, Li Zheng didn't figure out how to make Chen Xing a loner this time.
Chen Xing stayed in his office, and then the secretary He Qi knocked on the door and walked in, looked at Chen Xing, He Qi looked a little heavy and said, "County magistrate, you asked me to pay attention to the man who was hit yesterday, I just got the news from the hospital, the injured person has died after rescue efforts." ”
"Dead?" Chen Xing's body was shocked, and he glanced at He Qi in disbelief.
"It's dead, after yesterday's operation and rescue, although the injured person's life was temporarily saved, the doctor has already said that the patient's vital signs are very unstable, and his life will be in danger at any time, and according to the doctor's estimate yesterday, the situation is not optimistic, but I didn't expect that this morning, the injured person went." He Qi explained in a little detail.
"A life is gone." Chen Xing's hands clenched unconsciously, "Xiao He, you have been working in Ximen County, so far, how many such traffic accidents have you heard?" ”
He Qi pondered for a while, he knew that Chen Xing was asking about how many accidents Li Mingbo had caused by driving a Ferrari drag racing, and said, "I don't know how many small accidents there are, but there seems to have been a fatal accident some time ago, and I haven't heard of the others, it seems that Li Mingbo has this Ferrari sports car for only two months." ”
"Two lives were lost in two months." Chen Xing's eyes widened, and he didn't hide the anger in his eyes at all.
Looking at the angry Chen Xing, He Qi hesitated, thinking about whether to tell Chen Xing about the other news he had just learned.
"What, what else do you have to say?" Chen Xing was keenly aware of He Qi's expression.
"County magistrate, I just heard that the Public Security Bureau dispatched a lot of people to the shantytown in the morning to arrest people."
"Go to the shantytown to arrest people? Who to catch? Chen Xing looked up and was stunned, and then reacted, I am afraid that it is related to yesterday's traffic accident, Li Mingbo was beaten by some people who were more excited, and today it is not surprising that Li Mingbo is retaliating with the power in his hands.
"Let's go, follow me to the Public Security Bureau." Chen Xing greeted He Qi, didn't think about it, and walked out of the office directly.
The county public security bureau is not far from the county government, Chen Xing sat in the car, and arrived in less than five minutes, so he asked He Qi to call Han Dong, director of the public security bureau, to confirm that the other party was in the public security bureau, and Chen Xing went straight to Han Dong's office.
"County Magistrate Chen, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Han Dong smiled and came out to greet him, generally speaking, the director of the public security bureau will be highly matched, take the city as an example, Huang Ping, the director of the Haicheng City Public Security Bureau, is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee, but the situation in Ximen County is still the same as before, he, the director of the public security bureau, is not also the secretary of the county political and legal committee, nor is he also the deputy county magistrate, he is still at the department level, in front of Chen Xing, Han Dong is one level shorter.
"County Magistrate Chen, please take a seat." Han Dong smiled and invited Chen Xing to take a seat.
"Director Han, this morning your public security bureau dispatched police to the shantytown to arrest people?" Chen Xing glanced at Han Dong and got straight to the point.
"Go to the shantytown to arrest people?" Han Dong glanced at Chen Xing in surprise, shook his head and said, "County Magistrate Chen, I really haven't heard of such a thing, I had a meeting in the county in the morning, County Magistrate Chen, you also saw me, I haven't heard that the bureau has sent people to the shantytown to arrest people." ”
"Yes." Chen Xing looked at Han Dong with a smile in his eyes, "Director Han, in this case, can you take me to your public security bureau's interrogation room or detention room for a visit?" To be honest, I really don't know what the interrogation room and detention room of the Public Security Bureau are like, and I haven't had a chance to go in and experience it before, so I should have a good visit. ”
"Hehe, the interrogation room and the detention room are used to deal with criminals, and County Magistrate Chen's noble status naturally would not have entered these places." Han Dong smiled and said, "County Magistrate Chen, didn't you just ask if our bureau sent police to the shantytown to arrest people in the morning, I will immediately call the people below to ask, maybe when I am not there, the people below may make their own decisions." ”
"No need, Director Han can take me to visit." Chen Xing glanced at Han Dong, already had some guesses in his heart, and walked over with a smile to take Han Dong's hand, "Let's go, Director Han." ”
Some unnatural looks flashed in Han Dong's eyes, he was pulled by Chen Xing, Han Dong could only go forward, the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau was on the second floor, Han Dong actually knew what happened in the morning, without him as the director of the bureau nodding, how could the people below dare to do those things, but he didn't ask about specific things, he knew that Li Mingbo's purpose was to teach those villagers who did it yesterday, he responded to Li Mingbo's request, and he didn't bother to care about it anymore, those people were arrested, and they were currently in the interrogation room or the detention room, Han Dong really didn't know.
"County Magistrate Chen, the interrogation room is on the second floor, why don't we go to the second floor first?" Han Dong had the idea of luck in his heart, as long as the person was not in the interrogation room, he would have time to find someone to inform Li Mingbo.
"Okay, let's go to the interrogation room first." Chen Xing glanced at Li Mingbo quietly, and nodded with a smile.
The two sides came to the second floor together, close to the interrogation room, and when they heard the voice coming from inside, Han Dong's face changed slightly, he was afraid of something, the luck in his heart was all gone, he glanced at Chen Xing, and could only pretend to look like usual, "County Magistrate Chen, maybe the case is being tried inside, why don't we go and take a look elsewhere?" so as not to affect the case-handling personnel's adjudication of the case. ”
"Let's go in and take a look, just don't make a sound, it shouldn't affect the people inside to handle the case." As Chen Xing spoke, He Qi beside him had already comprehended and stepped forward to knock on the door.
The door was opened by a uniformed police officer, who opened the door open a gap to reveal only one head, and the sound inside became more and more obvious, the sound of someone moaning in pain.
Chen Xing frowned, took a step forward, and vigorously pushed open the door, the scene inside was unobstructed, several shantytown residents who saw on the road yesterday were handcuffed and pressed on chairs, Li Mingbo punched and kicked there, the moment Chen Xing pushed the door open, he could still see that Li Mingbo had just kicked one of them in the stomach, and the whole body of the person was in pain.
"Stop." Chen Xing said sharply.
"It's you again." Li Mingbo turned his head and saw Chen Xing, he was slightly stunned, and was about to scold, but then when he saw Han Dong who walked in, Li Mingbo's face was a little stunned, and he glanced at Han Dong, his tone was still a little unkind, "Director Han, who is he?" ”
"This is the county magistrate Chen." Han Dong grimaced and glanced at Li Mingbo.
"County Magistrate Chen?" Li Mingbo looked at Chen Xing, his expression was a little stunned, there was a new young deputy county magistrate in the county, Li Mingbo didn't know, but he didn't expect to meet him yesterday, the next moment, Li Mingbo had already reacted, and his face instantly changed to a smile, "County magistrate Chen, it turned out to be you, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Chen Xing glanced at the other party coldly, ignored the other party, and turned his head to stare at Han Dong, "Director Han, this is what you are talking about handling cases?" ”
"County Magistrate Chen, there may be some misunderstanding here." Han Dong's eyes flickered, and he said, "County Magistrate Chen, if you go back first, I will investigate the situation here, and I will report to you as soon as there is a result." ”
"You're going to look into it?" Chen Xing sneered and pointed at Li Mingbo, "Is he a case-handling officer of your Public Security Bureau?" ”
"County Magistrate Chen, I'm just here to visit a friend at the Public Security Bureau, so I'm here to have some fun by the way." Li Mingbo smiled and spoke.
"Playing in the interrogation room?" Chen Xing's eyes were like knives, staring at Li Mingbo, "Who gave you the power to arrest people casually?" And who gave you the power to beat people in the interrogation room? ”
"County Magistrate Chen, what do you mean by this? Who saw me arresting people? Who saw me hit someone again? Seeing that Chen Xing was more serious, Li Mingbo's attitude also became cold.
"Okay, it seems that the Public Security Bureau is run by your family, and you, an idle person in society who is not even a state official, can do whatever you want to mobilize the state law enforcement agencies to declare your personal vendetta for you, well, very well, it seems that you have more power than the central leaders." Chen Xing sneered.
"County Magistrate Chen, please speak with respect, I work in the enterprise, who said that I am an idle person in society?" Li Mingbo stiffened his neck and looked at Chen Xing,-for-tat.
Han Dong on the side kept glancing at Li Mingbo, signaling the other party not to compete with Chen Xing, and said to Chen Xing, "County Magistrate Chen, I think you should go back to the county first, I will definitely investigate the matter here and give you a reply in time." ”
Han Dong said, and at the same time turned his head to several policemen in the interrogation room and scolded, "What are you doing in a daze, don't take off the handcuffs." ”
Chen Xing stood in place, did not speak, looking at the shantytown residents who were beaten, no one saw that his two hands covered by the hem of his clothes had been bent into a pair of fists, in this somewhat cold winter, the green tendons on it were bursting, Chen Xing's anger had reached a certain level, and he was on the verge of an outbreak.
"Director Han, I'll be waiting for you in the office." Chen Xing glanced at Li Mingbo, held back the anger in his heart, turned his head and said coldly to Han Dong, turned around and walked out of the office.
