Neither Chen Taizhong nor Ning Ruiyuan expected that a few years later, many of the country's strategic resources would be in the hands of private individuals, foreign compradors and even foreign consortiums due to various interest disputes. As for small things like road construction , those are things not worth mentioning.
However, Ning Ruiyuan was not affected by Chen Taizhong's words. Since he had enjoyed various benefits in the name of foreign capital, it was normal for him to be unable to enter some fields. He didn't even know that this was just Chen Taizhong. Someone intuitively objected.
"Okay, since you are here, let's have a meal together," Mr. Ning solemnly extended the invitation. "You are so busy...we haven't seen each other for a month, right?"
This meal also included Zhao Yonggang, director of the Local Taxation Bureau of Phoenix City. Director Zhao was nearly fifty years old and quite wealthy. He was not very fond of Chen Taizhong, but he held Jing Ziling's hand and talked endlessly, with a pair of bubbly eyes. He looked up and down at the talented girl in fascination.
But when he heard Ning Ruiyuan introduce that this was Director Chen from the Investment Promotion Office, he immediately became enthusiastic, "Haha, it turns out to be Director Chen. I've seen him on TV several times, but seeing him in real life made him feel better than what he saw on TV. Still young."
Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded. After a few polite words, the dinner started. He was not in a very good mood. He originally saw that Director Zhao was getting close to Jing Ziling, so he had the urge to vent his anger. However, as soon as he heard his name, he was jealous. If he raised his tail, he couldn't take it too seriously. However, Jing Ziling approached him without avoiding suspicion, "Brother Taizhong, what's wrong with you? You don't seem happy. Is it related to the phone call just now?"
"Oh, it's nothing to worry about anyway," Chen Taizhong sighed and shook his head. He just received an unfamiliar phone call, but it was from Zu Baoyu, the deputy mayor of Xinza, Subo City.
This was Mayor Zu’s first contact with Chen Taizhong after he took office. “Hello, Director Chen. Excuse me, I am Zu Baoyu, who is in charge of science, education, culture and health in Subo. I heard that the Phoenix Science and Technology Commission has some advanced experience, and I want to organize everyone to learn from it. one time……"
Chen Taizhong really didn't know that Zu Baoyu was actually in charge of science, education, culture and health. He was a little happy when he heard that, thinking that this was a good thing. I couldn't get into the Tiannan Science and Technology Commission, so I brought Subo Science and Technology Commission over to study, and I just wanted to This is a slap in the face of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission.
Unfortunately, this was just the way Mayor Zu greeted him when they met for the first time. After the polite words, he talked about another matter, "There is a problem with the investment in Subo Science and Technology Commission. Originally, I wanted to find out the reason. .But now it’s a bit troublesome…”
I'm sorry, after Zu Baoyu figured out how he got here, although it wasn't appropriate to contact Chen Taizhong right away, he still had the intention of repaying his kindness. Although this was just an exchange, as the beneficiary himself, shouldn't he show some expression?
Besides, Chen Taizhong and Meng Yi are too close. Zhao Xicai, the new mayor of Subodi, may not speak as forcefully as Chen in front of Secretary Meng. How can such a noble person miss the opportunity to get to know each other?
Although Mayor Zu is also very clear, there is a very good chance that he will not be promoted. But opportunities are created, not waited for. Even if he is a deputy mayor, there are good and bad positions in charge. ?
Therefore, although Zu Baoyu was very busy when he took office, he still took time to collect information about Chen Taizhong and thought about what he could do to suit his interests.
It didn't matter once he collected it. He discovered it right away. This young man really couldn't be treated lightly. He had close friendships with many wealthy businessmen. If he came to give money to his door, he would not only appear to be uncreative and not make a deep impression, but he might even be dismissed.
People refused.
But fortunately, Chen Taizhong also has weaknesses. Very obvious weaknesses. He is too strong. And strong people will have many enemies in common. Even if those enemies can't launch any offensive and can only swallow their anger, they are potential explosive barrels.
Mayor Zu did a little search and found that Chen had an enemy within his jurisdiction. Fang Xiu, the director of the Subo City Science and Technology Commission. Well, it’s you. I’ll do an operation on you and give Xiao Chen a gift.
A meeting gift.
Everyone in the Subo Science and Technology Committee knew that the money for the Torch Project had been defrauded, and they were also saddled with huge debts because of the guarantee. Some of the good guys had already written anonymous letters to the city to report the matter in anger.
Already.
Mayor Zu geared up for a long time, and finally punched hard: Fang Xiu, I need you to give me an explanation for this loss of 10 million. The money from the Torch Plan is used to support enterprises, not for you.
If you use it to lend money and guarantee it for others, if you don't explain it clearly, I suggest that the Discipline Inspection Commission get involved.
Fang Xiu, however, spoke plausibly: We have thought about these policies. The five million people in Phoenix are also used to make big money to make small money. We are just learning from successful precedents. Who would have thought that we would encounter scammers?
Dong Xianglin, director of the Provincial Science and Technology Commission, also jumped out. He deceived Zu Baoyu as the deputy mayor of Xinzha, so he couldn't be too ruthless. Although you can be transferred from the administrative bureau to the government, you must have the strength, but you will be ruthless as soon as you take office.
, aren’t you afraid of arousing public outrage?
"This cannot be blamed on our lax inspection. On a hot day, braving the 38-degree heat, Director Fang personally went to Shenzhen to see the other party's factory and office. It's not that we are not careful, but the liar is too cunning. Mayor Zu, you
To punish Director Fang will chill these cadres who are down-to-earth and do practical things. In the future, everyone can just do nothing to avoid making mistakes."
Of course, at this time, Dong Xianglin was determined not to mention where Director Fang spent his time in Shenzhen. As for the accompanying family members, there was no need to mention it. They had already reported it, and it was not paid by the Science and Technology Commission. He wanted to find out.
It's hard to check.
If you really want to investigate, it's not impossible, then you have to use the Disciplinary Inspection Commission. Zu Baoyu was wondering whether he should take drastic measures. There was a loud bang, and news came from Phoenix: the money from the Phoenix Science and Technology Commission's Torch Plan project was stolen.
swept away.
This time, Subo Science and Technology Committee became more reasonable: Mayor Zu, look, the money of Phoenix Science and Technology Committee is also missing. Can we say that Phoenix Science and Technology Committee did something wrong? This is a natural disaster.
When Zu Baoyu stated the process of the incident, he was very particular about the art of language and his tone was very polite, but this did not obliterate what he wanted to express: Chen Taizhong, Chen Taizhong, I really want to help you vent your anger, but at the critical moment you
Why do you want to drop the chain for me?
When Chen Taizhong heard about the cause and effect, he felt so aggrieved that he couldn't mention it anymore. The money from the Phoenix Science and Technology Committee was taken away, and he was already quite unhappy. He heard Su Bo's Fang Xiu again.
Perhaps because of this reason, I was able to escape sanctions. It was really... bullying people too much. It was also very hard to set up the situation.
Therefore, of course, his mood was not very good. Even when Zhao Yonggang, the director of local taxation, toasted to him, he picked up the cup and touched it casually without noticing that most of the wine in the cup spilled out.
.
He has something on his mind, but in the eyes of Director Zhao, it means he is emotional. Zhao Yonggang was originally the executive deputy director of the tax bureau. He only came to the local tax department as director when the national taxation and local taxation were separated. He has served as deputy director for many years.
The experience made him develop the habit of being cautious.
Zhao Yonggang and Xue Shifeng were acquaintances. They were in the same production team when they went to the countryside to join the team. However, the relationship between the two could not be said to be good. It was just that among the "third generation" of the same commune, these two were the only ones to become famous, so
Still keep quite in touch.
Director Zhao knew very well about Chen Taizhong's attack on Xue Shifeng. Although he was saddened by the death of the rabbit and the fox, he couldn't help but be stunned by the young man's arrogance and domineering: Young people nowadays really dare to do heavy things.
Therefore, in Zhao Yonggang's heart, Chen Taizhong was a guy who could not be offended. It was precisely for this reason that when he heard that this young man was Director Chen of the Science and Technology Commission, he immediately put away his anxious look.
I am still worried: This young and beautiful Jing Ziling must be someone from Chen's dock. I hope he won't be angry with me.
However, the more he worried that the other party would be angry, the more he felt that Chen Taizhong's absent-minded look today was just for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved: I said, I didn't know that this girl had anything to do with you, right? As a human being
There's no need to be so fussy, right?
When Chen Taizhong bumped the glass against him and spilled a lot of wine, Director Zhao suddenly realized: Damn, this guy must know that I have a good relationship with Xue Shifeng, otherwise, he wouldn't react.
So intense.
But Xiao Xue and I were really just casual acquaintances. For a moment, Zhao Yonggang felt that he had been wronged so much. In fact, when he jumped in line, Xue Shifeng even stole an egg brought to me from home.
Anyway, after realizing this, Director Zhao felt like there was a nail board sitting under his buttocks. It was uncomfortable no matter how he sat. The neck and back of his short-sleeved shirt also felt a little hairy, like a person wearing a collar.
Like drinking countless cockleburs,
I am annoying people, really. Zhao Yonggang was holding the wine glass uneasily, his mind went blank. It was already wrong for him to meet Xue Shifeng, but later he still held his hand and wouldn't let go. Isn't this provocation?
Ning Ruiyuan felt that something was wrong today. Not only was Taizhong looking sluggish, but Zhao Yonggang had also completely lost his usual pride of being self-satisfied and looking down on the world. What happened to these two people?
He didn't want to ask about this kind of thing, so he had to talk to Jing Ziling, "Don't take it too seriously about Bitao. If it really doesn't work, I'll put some pressure on you. Everyone reacted strongly, and the government will probably do the same."
considerate."
"I have already planned to invest in the Internet in Phoenix," Jing Ziling replied with a smile.
"Director Zhao, the little beauty wants to invest, so you have to take care of me," Ning Ruiyuan greeted Zhao Yonggang with a smile. Director Zhao nodded subconsciously, "Beauty, there must be no problem."
The next moment, Zhao Yonggang's whole body was shaken and broken. Chen Taizhong must have thought that I was taking advantage of his dock. For a moment, he wanted to cry without tears.
