CHAPTER XXXVI
Liu Yan is a typical urban woman in the new era, refreshing, capable, with a strong side in her personality, from being kidnapped by the masked man just now, to now with Chen Xing and a few people, Liu Yan is already calm and abnormal, and can tell a few jokes to Chen Xing and others from time to time, maneuvering among several men, with witty words in his mouth, Liu Yan can always give people a bright feeling.
The teahouse where Chen Xing and the others were just now was not far from the Chenggong Building, and when they got out of the teahouse, Chen Xing walked over, Lu Ming and Fang Xiao had no objections, and the four of them walked along the sidewalk on the side of the road.
"Assistant Liu, how do you feel about our Ximen?" On the way, Chen Xing pointed to the buildings on both sides of the road and smiled, "Do you think that our county town is not as good as the township in Yangcheng?" ”
"When I first arrived in Haicheng, my first feeling of this coastal city is worthy of the name, this pearl on the coast of the East China Sea is known as the most suitable and travel sightseeing city, the city's cleanliness and greenery make people look always extra comfortable, compared to Yangcheng, Haicheng is definitely better than Yangcheng in this point, but if it is about economic development, even if I don't talk about it, County Magistrate Chen should also be clear, Yangcheng is in the coastal first-tier cities, it is also a leader, Haicheng is always slightly inferior, But I don't think it's bad to do this, compared with Yangcheng, Haicheng gives me the feeling that it is a little more peaceful, a little less noisy, living in a place like Yangcheng for a long time, it is really bright all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, it is easy to corrupt. ”
"Assistant Liu, let me ask you to evaluate how our Ximen is, but you just said that Haicheng City went." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, half-jokingly, "Could it be that Assistant Liu thinks that our Ximen is too poor and does not match a developed city like Haicheng at all." ”
"It's normal that there are poor people where you are rich, I don't think as you say." Liu Yan smiled, "Even if it is Yangcheng, not every county and city below, every township is so developed, there are still individual backward places, Ximen is in a developed city like Haicheng, it is not necessarily a very strange thing to be a little backward, but Ximen is a place with great potential, relying on the resources of Haicheng, I believe it will develop soon." ”
"Assistant Liu, I see you, it's because of the relationship between a few of us that you deliberately said this in front of us." Chen Xing smiled and looked incredulous, "Maybe as soon as you arrive at Ximen, you will say how this place is so poor, and you will be poor." ”
"County Magistrate Chen, you really wronged me when you say this, I have to go to many places every year, and I have been to places that are poorer than Ximen, and I have already seen no surprise, and we are not surprised to see the market of a place, not just to see that place is underdeveloped, the key is to see the potential in the future." Liu Yan smiled and explained with a serious expression.
Seeing Liu Yan's serious appearance, Chen Xing said with a smile, "Assistant Liu, if you were joking just now, don't take it seriously." ”
Several people walked forward, and suddenly a woman's high-pitched scream came from the front, "Robbery, robbery, catch them, catch them." The panicked voice was a little hysterical, piercing people's eardrums and vibrating, Chen Xing and others looked forward in surprise, a motorcycle was crazy in the road, the sound of 'bang' was extremely harsh, and a woman behind ran after the motorcycle in front, shouting anxiously, "My bag, my bag." ”
The motorcycle went away, turned into the street on the side, and had long disappeared from sight, the people around looked sympathetically at the lady who was robbed, there was sympathy in their eyes, and they were more glad that such a thing did not happen to them, some young women with bags had quickly hugged the bag in their arms, and looked at the lady who was robbed, not to mention that the bag was robbed, and there was blood on the arm, and the white shirt sleeve was cut through a cut, and the skin was broken inside, and the scarlet blood beads oozed out.
Chen Xing and a few people hurriedly walked up, Lu Ming looked at the disappeared motorcycle, glared angrily, the motorcycle turned into the alley, the small alleys in the county were scurrying around, it was difficult to chase people inside, not to mention that he would only have two feet, and he couldn't catch up with the motorcycle that the other party was riding, so he could only write down the appearance of the motorcycle.
Glancing back, Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help the injured man, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that my bag was robbed and there are some valuable things in it, what should I do now?" The woman said anxiously, with a hint of crying in her voice.
"Miss, don't worry, the Public Security Bureau will do its best to help you recover it, you are injured on your hand now, first go to treat the wound, so as not to become inflamed, and then go to the Public Security Bureau to report the case, leave a contact information, if you help you recover the bag, the Public Security Bureau will do its best to contact you." Lu Ming saw that the woman's arm was bleeding and said with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, the injury on my hand is okay, I'm in a hurry about my bag, there are important things in it, what if I can't find it, what should I do." The woman muttered repeatedly.
"Miss, it's useless for you to be in a hurry now, the most important thing is that people are okay." Lu Ming looked at the woman's appearance and sighed, the security in the county town is not good, and he, the director of the public security bureau, is to blame, especially today, this kind of bad incident of robbery by the biker party happened under his nose, if the people next to him knew that he, the director of the public security bureau, was standing here, Lu Ming would feel embarrassed.
The police patrolling nearby received the notice and quickly rushed over, Lu Ming asked the police to take the injured woman to treat the wound, and personally instructed the police to organize a police investigation, which came to an end.
"Chen County, Fang County, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Lu Ming walked back to Chen Xing and Fang Xiao and said apologetically.
"It's okay, if this kind of thing happens, you should do your best." Chen Xing nodded, and didn't say anything, but the look on his face was a little unsightly, the security environment in Ximen County was indeed not very good, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Yan, Chen Xing smiled, "Assistant Liu, let you see the smile." ”
"Hehe, I used to hear people say that the biker robbery, knowing that this kind of thing is not uncommon in the city, today I have seen it with my own eyes, it is indeed quite terrifying, not only the people who are robbed will be in danger, even the people who rob are in danger, and those who have nothing to do with the masses may also suffer from unwarranted disasters." Liu Yan just saw with his own eyes that the robbed motorcycle fled after succeeding, the car was driving rapidly on the street, dodging left and right, and the surrounding cars were dangerously passing by, so to speak, just a little bit, it will collide together, the probability of this kind of thing causing a car accident is quite high, if that situation occurs, it will really harm others and yourself.
"When this happens, we, the local parents, also have to bear some responsibility." Chen Xing shook his head helplessly, "If everyone has a satisfactory job and can live a good life, the society will be harmonious." ”
"The kind of situation that County Magistrate Chen said may not be realized in another one or two hundred years." Liu Yan smiled disapprenously, "This is an unevenly distributed society, there is a gap between people, and the most important thing is that everyone has ** and greed in their hearts, when ** is not satisfied, all kinds of crimes have happened, let's talk about the robbers just now, they all have hands and feet, five big and three thick, this kind of people will not starve to death if they find a job to do, but they just like this kind of ill-gotten gains for nothing, although they know that they are committing crimes, they still dare to take risks." , because this kind of money comes easily, and it is much easier to get money than a tired and tired part-time job. ”
Chen Xing glanced at Liu Yan in surprise, the other party's thoughts and insights were quite surprising, and Lu Ming on the side couldn't help but respond, "This kind of money is easy to come by, but the price is extremely expensive, if you want to take your own life, or even your life, this kind of behavior must be resolutely cracked down." ”
"Director Lu is angry, I don't mean to condone this kind of behavior, I'm talking about what kind of mentality these people have, and I hope Director Lu won't misunderstand." Liu Yan looked at Lu Ming and said with a smile.
"No, Assistant Liu, don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, it's just that I just saw this kind of thing happening under my nose, and I was really angry." Lu Ming smiled helplessly.
A distance of a few hundred meters, several people soon came to the hotel of the Chenggong Building, sat down in priority, Liu Yan smiled, and said, "This evening, I just met the masked robbers, although there was no accident, but it was also a moment of shock, just now I witnessed the robbery of the biker party, today is also a thrilling day for me, I don't dare to bring anything when I go out in the future, or empty-handed is the safest." ”
"If Assistant Liu is worried that those masked robbers will still appear, how about asking the Public Security Bureau to send you two plainclothes protection?" Chen Xing looked at the other party inquiringly, Liu Yan is a staff member of the Zhao Group, and he stayed in Ximen to investigate the investment market, Chen Xing hopes that the Zhao Group can invest in Ximen, because he doesn't want Liu Yan to have any accidents, and he doesn't want to have some bad impressions on the other party, just like the roadside robbery just now, how much will make the other party have a bad impression of the security environment in Ximen, and affect the other party's evaluation of Ximen, Chen Xing cares about Liu Yan at the moment, in addition to part of the reason for Zhong Ling's entrustment, It is really considering Ximen, and being able to pull an extra investment is one more hope for Ximen's development.
"Forget it, I don't dare to use the police force of the Public Security Bureau as an insignificant person, I think the Public Security Bureau should send more police to patrol the streets, as long as the density of patrols is high, I don't think those bikers will dare to be so arrogant." Liu Yan's expression moved slightly, hesitated for a while, and then shook his head.
"Assistant Liu, you are not an insignificant person, now for us, you are the God of Wealth, we are still looking forward to your group investing in Ximen, your safety is not a trivial matter." Chen Xing said with a smile, "As for other things, you don't have to worry, something like this happened today, I believe that the Public Security Bureau will have a corresponding strategy in the future, and the Road Director will sit here, if you have any good ideas, you can mention it to the Road Director." ”
A few people laughed, Chen Xing looked up inadvertently, his face was suddenly stunned, and he nodded slightly at the few people who came over, and the people who came to him were also surprised when they saw Chen Xing, "Ah, this is not Chen County, such a coincidence." ”
"It's a coincidence, I didn't expect Chairman Zhao to eat here." Chen Xing smiled and nodded at Zhao Qing and the others, even if he had said hello, Chen Xing was also a little surprised that Zhao Guoli and the others were still in Ximen, just thinking about it, Chen Xing was relieved, Zhao Guoli is the chairman of the Guoli Group, and the Guoli Group also bid for the No. 8 plot, and it is not surprising that the other party is still in Ximen.
"I stayed in the upstairs room of the hotel, and I came here when I went downstairs for dinner." Zhao Guoli smiled, his eyes swept over Liu Yan, who was with Chen Xing and the others, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.
"Chairman Zhao, since we met, how about sitting down and eating together?" Chen Xing invited with a smile.
"Thank you Chen County for your kindness, I'm afraid that we will sit down and affect your conversation." Zhao Guoli glanced at Chen Xing with a smile, "Just kidding, don't be surprised by Chen County, let's go to other tables and sit down, and if we have a chance in the future, we will have a meal with Chen County." ”
Zhao Guoli and a few people walked to another table and sat down, separated from Chen Xing's side by several tables, no one on either side could hear anyone speak, only heard Zhao Guoli Pu sit down, then turned his head to his daughter and son-in-law and said, "This Chen Xing is getting more and more a bit of a city, I used to treat him like that, but now he sees me as if nothing happened, as if nothing happened before, I remember that at the banquet a few days ago, Chen Xing saw me a little unnatural at first sight, and now there is no reaction at all, This city is a bit admirable, and it is not false to say that this officialdom is the most tempering place. Zhao Guoli stared at Chen Xing not far away and said, he also had some doubts about Chen Xing's appearance.
"He is now a dignified deputy county magistrate, where is the previous little clerk, the official is bigger, and his courage is naturally stronger, in the past, you would be afraid when he saw his father, but now he is naturally no longer afraid." Sun Xiang glanced at it and said with a smile.
"Dad, I said that why do you like to take the things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain a few years ago, it has been so long, it is normal for people to have changes in Chen Xing, do you think he will remain the same." Zhao Qing listened to her husband and father talking about Chen Xing, and she was a little irritable in her heart, although she and Chen Xing had no relationship, she also didn't like others to talk about it in person, especially since one of these two people was her father and the other was her husband.
"By the way, isn't that woman from the Zhao Group? Why did she get involved with Chen Xing? Sun Xiang pointed to Liu Yan, who was sitting with Chen Xing and others, among these companies who were interested in investing in Ximen, they deliberately learned about those who were strong, Liu Yan was the plenipotentiary representative of the Zhao Group who was currently staying in Ximen, and also entered their sight.
"Yes, how could they get together." Zhao Guoli was also puzzled, as soon as he saw Liu Yan just now, he was a little strange.
After a few people sat for a while, Zhao Guoli got up and walked towards Chen Xing's table, "Chen County, I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to sit down?" ”
"Chairman Zhao, why is he so polite, please take a seat, please take a seat." Chen Xing smiled and got up accordingly, and glanced at Zhao Guoli quietly, obviously a little strange about the other party's behavior.
"Chen County, I encountered a terrifying thing in the afternoon, and I suddenly want to reflect it with you." Zhao Guoli looked solemn, "In the afternoon, I stayed in my room and chatted with my daughter and son-in-law, and suddenly someone knocked on the door, we didn't think about anything else, my son-in-law went to open the door, but it was a few masked men who rushed in, holding knives against our necks, threatening us to leave Ximen quickly, if we stay here any longer, we will be killed." ”
"Chairman Zhao, what you said is true?" Chen Xing exchanged a look with Fang Xiao and Lu Ming, and the shock in the hearts of several people can be imagined, Liu Yan on the side also opened his mouth slightly, looking at Zhao Guoli in surprise, she didn't expect that someone had encountered this kind of thing before.
"Why, Chen County doesn't believe my words?" Zhao Guoli looked stunned, and his words were a little angry.
"No, Chairman Zhao, don't get me wrong, after you, there are people who have encountered this kind of thing, so I will be shocked." Chen Xing introduced Liu Yan next to him, "This is Miss Liu, she is the assistant general manager of Hong Kong's Zhao Group, she also encountered the situation you encountered in the evening, according to what she described, it is almost exactly the same as what you encountered." ”
"Really? Did such a bizarre thing really happen? Zhao Guoli looked at Liu Yan in surprise, and then fell silent, after a while, Zhao Guoli said, "Chen County, I suspect that this is an extremely bad business competition incident, your Ximen County Government should pay attention to it, otherwise if this situation continues, who would dare to invest in Ximen, and we businessmen who want to invest can't even protect our own lives, how can we stay here and do business with peace of mind." ”
"Chairman Zhao, don't worry, we will definitely pay attention to the situation you said, and the public security organs will intervene in the investigation, by the way, did Chairman Zhao report the case to the Public Security Bureau?" Chen Xing looked at Zhao Guoli solemnly, he and Zhao Guoli didn't like each other, but business is a business matter, and a private matter is a private matter, and the other party's reaction has shocked Chen Xing.
"I went to report the crime, but I don't know when the result will be." Zhao Guoli sighed.
At more than six o'clock in the evening, Liu Yan was sent back to the hotel room, Chen Xing and a few people went from the hotel, on the way, several people talked while walking, Chen Xing said, "Road Bureau, today's assistant Liu and Chairman Zhao encountered the hijacking incident is amazingly consistent, both of them are interested in investing in our Ximen, and they happened to encounter such a thing, this is definitely not a coincidence, you must organize the police to do their best to investigate and detect, to see who is behind the scenes." ”
"Chen County, don't worry, this is related to our Ximen investment promotion major event, I will definitely pay attention to it, I thought about it just now, in fact, the scope of the investigation does not need to be very large, it will threaten Chairman Zhao and Assistant Liu, no accident should be in these companies that visited Ximen this time, only in this way can the past be explained, otherwise others do not need to do this."
"Your analysis is reasonable, you are an expert in handling the case, I and Fang County can only give you a staff officer at most, I can't come up with anything to build a good idea, I hope you can do your best to investigate the results, otherwise if this situation continues, who will dare to invest in our Ximen in the future." Chen Xing said solemnly.
"Yes, what Chen Xian said makes sense, this kind of thing is too bad, I estimate that it is not only these two companies that are threatened, it is estimated that there are other companies." Fang Xiao agreed, "County Chen, I think it's best to report this matter to County Magistrate Li and Secretary Wang, this is not a trivial matter after all." ”
"Reflect with County Magistrate Li and Secretary Wang, I'm afraid it's most appropriate for the Road Bureau to go by itself." Chen Xing looked at Lu Ming with a smile.
Lu Ming was stunned, thought about it, and nodded knowingly with a smile.
"Also, for Assistant Liu and Chairman Zhao's safety, you should let people pay attention to it secretly, so that there is no accident at that time." Before leaving, Chen Xing suddenly remembered and told Lu Ming seriously.
Chen Xing returned to the residence of the county guest house, the light in the room was on, Zhang Ying was mopping the floor inside, and when Chen Xing walked in, Zhang Ying was still holding his sleeves, dragging the mop back and forth while wiping his sweat.
"Xiaoying, the floor in my house is about to be dragged out by you." Chen Xing stood at the door with a smile, the clean floor was shining in the light, and Chen Xing was embarrassed to step in with leather shoes.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry, the guest house is busy today, I don't have time to come over to help you clean up during the day, so I can only come over after work in the evening." There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her fair little face was flushed, this was Zhang Ying's appearance at the moment.
Chen Xing looked at this little girl who was nearly ten years younger than himself, and always couldn't help but want to compare her with those pampered only children in the city, the children in the city, at the age of eighteen, are still growing up happily and carefree under the protection of their parents, they are in a good mood, they play with their parents, they are in a bad mood, and some of the spoiled children dare to use their parents as a punching bag, thinking of his second uncle's son, Chen Xing smiled bitterly in his heart, his little cousin is in college, and he is still not sensible at all, When he called back when he was short of money, he said, "I have no money", and then hung up the phone with a "click", there was no second sentence, but it seemed that his parents were born to owe him money, Chen Xingyou heard the second uncle and they came to the house to chatter, and he was so angry with his son.
"Xiaoying, how many times have I told you, this floor is for stepping on, there is no need to drag it every day, it is laborious and time-consuming, just drag it once in a while, you, you don't have to come every day." Chen Xing changed his shoes at the door.
"Brother Chen, no, you are good enough to me, if I don't work hard to do a good job, then I will be uneasy, and this mopping the floor will be a matter of a while, without delaying much work, I have to clean up the hotel room every day, and I am used to mopping the floor."
"Look at you, people don't want to do this job, but you drag out of the habit." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, seeing Zhang Ying, his heart would always be inexplicably relaxed and happy, "Hey, no, don't you only work at the front desk, why do you even do those things like cleaning up the room?" ”
"Oh, no, no, I just occasionally go up to help, we Mr. Wang said that there are not enough people now, let me help from time to time." Zhang Ying's face changed, and she quickly explained.
"Xiaoying, I see if you have something to hide from me." Chen Xing glanced at the other party with a smile, "Look at you, as soon as you lie, your face will turn red." ”
"Brother Chen, no, I have something to lie to you." Zhang Yingyuan's round head shook vigorously.
Chen Xing joked a few words with the other party, knowing that Zhang Ying couldn't stand the joke, Chen Xing didn't tease the other party anymore, and took the chess out of the table, Chen Xing smiled, "Xiaoying, come, you can play chess, accompany me in the next game." ”
"Brother Chen, my chess skills are not good, don't make fun of me." Zhang Ying smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't worry, my chess skills stink too." Chen Xing smiled and spread out the chess pieces.
The alarm clock was ticking, Chen Xing was a little distracted, his head was still thinking about the evening, Liu Yan and Zhao Guoli were threatened by the masked man one after another, Chen Xing was puzzled, which company would do such a thing?
"Ah, General, Brother Chen, you lost." Zhang Ying suddenly screamed excitedly, clapping her palms happily, and being able to win the great brother Chen in her eyes made Zhang Ying extremely happy.
"Hehe, it seems that our Xiaoying is still powerful, my chess skills can't compare to yours." Chen Xing smiled and nodded, "Come, let's have another plate." ”
"Brother Chen, I know you deliberately released the water just now, you are obviously absent-minded, how boring it is to go down like this." Zhang Ying glanced at Chen Xing cautiously, "Brother Chen, there is something I want to ask you, can you help me come up with an idea." ”
"Okay, if you have anything, if you can't come up with a good idea, you can also help you come up with a few bad ideas." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Brother Chen, I believe you won't, in my heart, you are a good person, you are different from those officials." Zhang Ying stared at Chen Xing with a serious face, in her heart, this big brother Chen in front of her was a really good person.
"I'm embarrassed to be praised by you again, your brother Chen is not a good person." Chen Xing smiled self-deprecatingly, is he a good person? Now he is just a man who will play tricks for the sake of power, and maybe one day he will become a politician through and through.
"Brother Chen, I want to use the evening time to study at the county's vocational college, do you think it's okay? I want to learn some useful skills so that I can have a skill, I don't want to do this for the rest of my life, I also want to be like those white-collar workers, to be able to be a self-reliant woman. ”
"yes, that's a good idea, it's a good idea." Chen Xing looked at the little girl opposite with appreciation, "But the so-called white-collar workers you said are not necessarily as self-reliant as you said, the most important thing is that you have dreams, people can have no knowledge and education, but you can't have dreams, as long as you have a dream in your heart, you should work hard, Xiaoying, just go to study, I support you." ”
