Chapter 406: Coincidence

re positive and eager to learn. She expressed her stance: "Secretary Xiao trusts me, so I will do my best to handle this matter." 。That is to say, my work also needs the support of all of you present....Xiao Zheng said solemnly, "Senior brother, this matter is very important" 。"It concerns your own future, don't you feel it"

Zhang Yihong was quite puzzled: "How is that possible Before, you and Mayor Xiao told me to withdraw all the money we invested. I did as instructed. As for their 'setting off fireworks' business, I'm no longer involved, it has nothing to do with me!"

Xiao Zheng said: "That's right, your personal finances are separate from their 'setting off fireworks' operation." 。Now, the "release" situation is getting worse and it's very likely connected to your career. 。“Zhang Yihong was surprised: ‘Why do you say that’

Xiao Zheng said: ‘Once the ‘firecracker’ incident becomes a big problem, who among the city leaders will be the first to be affected It must be Mayor Xiao! Because Mayor Xiao is in charge of this work” 。"You are Xiao, the Mayor's secretary. The Mayor is affected, what can you do Can you still be promoted" Zhang Yihong then realized the severity of the situation. Whether he could be promoted was indeed directly linked to Xiao, the Mayor. 。Zhang Yixiong was now truly anxious: "What do you need me to do" Xiao Zheng said: "I just said, can you get into their inner circle and understand the situation clearly Who are their core figures What use have they put the huge sums of money they raised" Zhang Yixiong was a little stunned: "Junior brother, aren't you asking me to go undercover! How could you think of me for this kind of thing" Xiao Zheng said: "Besides you, who else could I think of Senior brother, the situation is very serious now, and I really can't find anyone else who can do this." 。"Zhang Yimou sighed after a long silence on the phone and said, 'Then I'll give it a try.'" 。"Xiao Zheng knew this was dangerous and said, "If you encounter any problems, contact me by phone immediately." 。By the time Xiao Zheng returned to his office in Anxian County, it was already past three in the afternoon. 。Not long after he sat down, County Head Jin Jianqiang arrived at his office, probably with something to assign. 。Xiao Zheng quickly got up and invited Jin Jianqiang to sit down, saying: "County Magistrate Jin, what can I do for you" Jin Jianqiang smiled and said, "It's not an order, just a favor to ask my younger brother to help me attend a dinner..." 。It's not that unusual for leaders to ask their subordinates to join them for a meal. 。Xiao Zheng then asked, "What time is dinner Which leader is attending"

Jin Jianqiang looked at him, slightly annoyed and said, "This evening..." 。City People's Congress Deputy Director Qian Xinhua came over and contacted me in advance, hoping that I could participate. 。I also promised. 。But only after the fact did I realize that today was my mother-in-law's birthday. 。I got scolded by my wife. If I don't go back, I'm sure I won't get a good face from her tonight. 。"Little brother, if you could spare some time to help me attend this, it would be great!"

City People's Congress Vice Chairman Qian Xinhua Xiao Zheng had met Qian Xinhua before at Zhou Muyun's villa in Lingxing Township. 。Qian Xinhai, being close to people like Tan Shujie, is naturally familiar with Yao Baixiang as well. 。Xiao Zheng actually really disliked socializing with this group of people. 。Xiao Zheng then said, "County Magistrate Jin, I actually have something to do in the evening... Could you arrange for other members of the team to go"

Jin Jianqiang said: "Other members of the team That wouldn't be appropriate." 。You probably don't know, Deputy Director Qian is very concerned with face. If I said I would go but then didn't, he'd definitely have some thoughts about it. 。I sent our常務副縣長 there, which shows we respect him. If I had sent a regular deputy county magistrate, he probably would have been unhappy. 。Mr. Qian is from the People's University and oversees inspections, among other things. He also has a close relationship with Secretary Tan. 。If we offend him, I'm afraid his work in An County will suffer. 。So, today will be tough on you, little brother. 。Jin Jianqiang's words no longer sought Xiao Zheng's opinion, but clearly demanded that he must go. 。Xiao Zheng's awareness of the big picture and obedience have always been relatively strong, and besides, he has a good relationship with Jin Jianqiang. He had no choice but to agree: "County Head Jin, since you said so, I'll just bite the bullet and go." 。"

“Okay, you’re always the most reliable, little brother.” 。Jin Jianqiang patted Xiao Zheng on the knee and said, "Since my younger brother has readily agreed to this matter, I'll also get off work early today." 。My mother-in-law is really important, I need to go back early to celebrate her birthday so that things at home can be stable. 。“Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and said, “County Magistrate Jin, you can rest assured and go to celebrate your mother-in-law’s birthday. Drink a little more wine.” 。Let me have the drinks from today's social engagements for you. 。"Jin Jianqiang said: "Thank you, little brother" 。“With that, he left Xiao Zheng’s office.” 。In a while, Sha Hai came in to report: "County Chief Xiao, are you going to an appointment for County Chief Jin tonight County Chief Jin's secretary has already sent me the time and place." 。“Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and said, “Good. What time” Sha Hai Dao: “Six o’clock, ‘Qing Chuan Li Li’ Hotel” 。"Xiao Zheng listened and asked, "Is this the new hotel in Nanxiao" Sha Hai nodded. "Yes, it's a five-star hotel, only open for about half a month." 。Many banquets that used to be held at the An County International Hotel are now being moved to 'Qingchuan Lishui'. 。"Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I haven't been there yet. Today we can go have a look." 。"Sha Hai laughed and said, “Okay." 。County Magistrate Xiao, we can arrive in about half an hour. 。"Xiao Zheng said: "Good" 。。On closer inspection, it turned out to be Chen Hong. 。Xiao Zheng's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow, but his mind flashed back to the scene of seeing her and Tan Zhen getting out of a car together at the Phoenix Restaurant before. 。Shahai saw Xiao Zheng holding his phone, his face not looking good, so he walked out. 。The phone rang relentlessly. 。Looking at Chen Hong's name flashing on the screen, Xiao Zheng thought, if he didn't answer, Chen Hong might keep calling him over and over again. 。Xiao Zheng raised his hand and rubbed between his brows, then pressed the answer button: "Hello, is this Chen Hong" Chen Hong's voice seemed to carry a hint of emotion: "It's me" 。"Xiao Zheng" hummed in response, asking faintly, "What's the matter"

Chen Hong asked, "Did you have lunch at Phoenix Restaurant today" Her voice was as crisp as ever. Coming from the phone, it had a sharp, direct edge. 。Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. How did she know Chen Hong had already spoken: "Maybe others didn't notice, but I saw your car." 。Xiao Zheng knew that denying it was pointless, so he said: “I was eating at the Phoenix Hotel.” 。"Chen Hong's reply came quickly: "With Xiao Jingyu" Though it was a question, it carried an undeniable certainty, her tone laced with unmasked jealousy. 。Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a bit irritable, he didn't know why, he didn't like talking about Xiao Jingyu with Chen Hong. 。He said, "Chen Hong, this is a matter at work." 。

Just don't ask too many questions.

Chen Hong, however, was not to be placated: "You don't deny it, which means you admit it." 。I think you also saw that I had lunch with Tan Shuji at the Phoenix Restaurant. 。"Xiao Zheng did see it, but he replied: "Chen Hong, who you eat with is your freedom, I don't want to know." 。Chen Hong said, "Xiao Zheng, you have dinner with Xiao Jingyu, and I have dinner with Tan Zhen. It's fair for both of us." 。Chen Hong's logic, Xiao Zheng really couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to understand it. He just said: "Chen Hong, let's not talk about this. You called me, what's the matter, just say it straight." 。On the other end of the phone, there seemed to be a moment of silence before he said: "Xiao Jingyu has been investigating the 'putting out firecrackers' matter recently. I wanted to ask you to persuade her and tell her to stay out of it." 。This matter, the top leaders in the city know about it. Why don't they care There must be a reason for that. 。Since both the boss and the second-in-command don't care, what can she do There's also something more important, Xiao Zheng, you absolutely mustn't get involved in this matter. It won't benefit you at all. 。Today, Xiao Jingyu invited you out to eat. I guess it's probably related to this matter, but I hope you don't get involved. 。If you are persuaded by Xiao Jingyu into this matter, the deputy county magistrate position you finally got may be at risk. 。Xiao Zheng, I'm really worried about you, that's why I called. 。Xiao Zheng was both surprised and shocked. Chen Hong actually knew about what he and Xiao Jingyu had talked about at noon Could it be that Chen Hong had been keeping tabs on Xiao Jingyu However, after thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely. After all, Chen Hong was only the director of the organization department office of the municipal committee. She was very busy with her work every day. Where would she have time to monitor someone However, if she used Tan Zhen's power, that would be a different story. 。Of course, it's also possible that she didn't use Tan Zhen's power, but rather that Tan Zhen himself had people monitoring Xiao Jingyu.

There seem to be possibilities for all of this. 。but it also feels too outlandish 。Could it be that the members of the municipal Party committee and municipal government have reached this point

Putting aside these swirling speculations, Xiao Zheng spoke: "Chen Hong, I appreciate your concern, and thank you for calling." 。Today, I have other things to do, so I'll stop here. Goodbye. 。As for Chen Hong, Xiao Zheng's emotions were complex. 。But he was more aware that they had little common ground left, and he didn't want any further contact with her. 。But, Chen Hong seems to still not be able to accept this fact and often calls or wants to meet in person. 。This is what's particularly bothering Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng really didn't know when Chen Hong would be able to truly let go of him. 。Actually, he also hoped Chen Hong would have a good ending. She liked powerful and influential men. If Tan Zhen could divorce and be with her, that would also be an outcome. 。But the way she is now really worries Xiao Zheng, and at the same time makes him restless. 。At this time, Sha Hai knocked on the door and came in, saying: "County Magistrate Xiao, it's almost time. We should set off." 。When the car arrived at "Qingchuan LiLi" Hotel, it was exactly 5:55. 。This resort hotel, located on the outskirts of the county seat in the south, is not very large in scale, but it's newer than the Anxian International Hotel and has a distinctive architectural style with Mediterranean charm. 。However, at this stage, the landscaping hasn't been fully completed. Some areas lack grass coverage, revealing patches of yellow earth. 。The main building is now brightly lit, radiating an atmosphere of prosperity. 。ned them to the Comprehensive Department I, including Yang Xuehu. None of them were on the Secretary General's recommendation list! This incident once again proves that in government agencies, there a...
