At about five o'clock, Deputy Mayor Xiao Jingyu came back from a meeting. When she passed by, she walked straight to her office and did not see Xiao Zheng. However, Li Haiyan glanced at Xiao Zheng and looked around at the door.
He went down and asked: "Chief Xiao, are you here? Why didn't you say anything?"
Xiao Jingyu's footsteps stopped.
Xiao Zheng said to Li Haiyan: "I'm here to report something to Mayor Xiao. I wonder if Mayor Xiao has time?"
Xiao Jingyu nodded towards Li Haiyan.
Li Haiyan said: "Mayor Xiao has just finished his meeting and has some time. Can you go to Mayor Xiao's office?"
Xiao Zheng agreed and said, "Okay. Yihong comes in with me." Xiao Jingyu blinked slightly but didn't say anything. He waited for Li Haiyan to open the office door for him and went in first.
Li Haiyan was busy making tea, and then Xiao Zheng and Zhang Yihong walked in.
Xiao Zheng discovered that there were three pots of hydroponic plants placed on Xiao Jingyu's office. They should be White Palm and Queen Ruyi, with a hint of green and a hint of pink, dotted with life. It can be seen that Xiao Jingyu has been in a good mood recently.
Xiao Jingyu did not go behind the desk in the office, but sat down on the single sofa. Xiao Zheng and Zhang Yihong sat down on the couch. Li Haiyan also served tea. Although Zhang Yihong was one of her own, she still
I made a cup for Zhang Yihong. Zhang Yihong was a little embarrassed: "Haiyan, why are you preparing tea for me?"
But Li Haiyan said slightly mischievously: "Everyone who meets you has a share." Xiao Jingyu said with a slight smile on his face: "Yihong, she brewed it for you, just drink it." Zhang Yihong said: "Thank you, Mayor Xiao.
." Li Haiyan said, "You guys chat slowly," and walked out.
Xiao Zheng did not waste Xiao Jingyu's time and said: "Mayor Xiao, I have something to report with Yihong today. We have noticed this matter before, but we didn't think it was too serious, so we didn't say anything.
. But I recently discovered that you must know about this matter. Yihong, please tell me."
What Xiao Zheng said just now made Xiao Jingyu very interested in this matter. Zhang Yihong didn't expect that Xiao Zheng got up and handed him the main content! Xiao Jingyu turned to Zhang Yihong with very confused eyes.
Zhang Yihong had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the story. Zhang Yihong mentioned that the interest on "firecrackers" had reached double the monthly interest, and also mentioned that many people from the municipal government departments had invested in it, and said
This thing started in Xinli Town, Changhu District. Almost all the people in Xinli Town who had some money participated in it, and now many people in Jingzhou City have also invested in it.
Xiao Zheng said at this time: "Mayor Xiao, to be honest, my girlfriend Chen Hong and her parents also invested money." Xiao Jingyu glanced at Xiao Zheng, but in the end did not speak. She was silent for a while and raised her head.
Ask Zhang Yihong: "The monthly interest is really double the principal?" Zhang Yihong nodded: "Yes. Mayor Xiao, I don't want to lie to you. I invested 30,000 yuan last month and got 30,000 yuan."
The interest is paid, and the principal is still in it.”
Xiao Jingyu asked Xiao Zheng again: "Where is your girlfriend?" Xiao Zheng also gave Chen Hong the interest, so Chen Hong's parents also invested money. Xiao Jingyu nodded and said: "In other words, everyone who invests has
Got the money? No problems have emerged yet." Zhang Yihong and Xiao Zheng both nodded together.
Xiao Jingyu said: "This matter is definitely illegal. This is illegal financing. But now the problem has not been exposed, there is no way to characterize it. So, Yihong, you first take out the money you invested in it." Zhang Yihong looked at Xiao Zheng
Look, he still seemed reluctant. Xiao Zheng glared at him, and Zhang Yihong had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll take it out today."
Xiao Jingyu turned to Xiao Zheng again: "Chief Xiao, can you persuade your girlfriend and her family to withdraw all the money they invested?" Xiao Zheng said: "Mayor Xiao, I have already persuaded them.
However, they don’t want to listen to me. The money belongs to them and I can’t force them.” Xiao Jingyu pursed her lips and said, “Then ignore them for now. The news you have today is indeed very important. If you don’t pay attention to it, I’m afraid.
It will cause huge regional financial problems. I will report to Mayor Hong today. The next step must be to investigate clearly and then take necessary measures."
Xiao Zheng and Zhang Yihong both nodded.
Xiao Jingyu said to Zhang Yihong: "Yihong, you go and deal with your own matters first." Zhang Yihong said "Okay", stood up and went out.
Xiao Zheng originally wanted to tell Xiao Jingyu that he would invite Tan Zhen to dinner tomorrow. He wanted to explain to Xiao Jingyu that it was not his own wish in this matter. But before he mentioned it, Xiao Jingyu said: "I
I want to report the illegal financing of 'Bangpaozi' to Mayor Hong as soon as possible. Are you going to wait here? Or are you going back?"
Xiao Zheng asked: "Mayor Xiao, are you free tonight? If so, I'll treat you to dinner." Xiao Jingyu said sheepishly: "I have a party tonight. I went to Guangdong last time, and today their representatives
The delegation is here for a visit, mainly from Hongshi. The mayor is accompanying us, but I have to attend in the evening."
From this point of view, Xiao Jingyu should not be free tonight. Xiao Zheng thought that inviting Tan Zhen to dinner is not a particularly big deal. The location chosen by Chen Hong was also very secretive, and other leaders except Tan Zhen should not be there either.
You will know. As long as you don't be arrogant or say things you shouldn't say at the banquet tomorrow, the meal will be over.
Therefore, Xiao Zheng stood up and said: "Since Mayor Xiao is not free tonight, I will treat you to dinner another day. It is getting late, and I have to rush back to An County, so I will go first." Xiao Jingyu
He didn't hold back: "Okay, after these two days, we will find time to chat."
That night, Xiao Zheng did not receive a call from Xiao Jingyu. I wonder what Mayor Hong meant after she reported the "crackers" incident to Mayor Hong? Maybe they had to entertain the Guangdong delegation in the evening, and
There is no time to discuss relevant measures.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zheng received a call from Chen Hong. Chen Hong told Xiao Zheng not to forget tomorrow's dinner, which was the most important thing today! Xiao Zheng said that he had not forgotten, so she could rest assured.
Chen Hong told him again that he could set off after taking care of some official business tomorrow afternoon and go to the private banquet to wait for Secretary Tan, in case the leader arrived and he hadn't come yet.
It can be seen that Chen Hong attaches great importance to this dinner. Xiao Zheng said that he understood. Chen Hong reminded him to wear the latest suit and so on. Xiao Zheng felt that Chen Hong was a bit verbose, but he still listened patiently.
It's over.
The next morning, Wang Chunhua called Xiao Zheng: "Chief Xiao, I originally wanted to go to Jingzhou with you. But just now Secretary Tan summoned me and asked me to go to the secretary's office in the morning, so I
I'm going over here first, sorry." Xiao Zheng originally had no intention of going with Wang Chunhua. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other, so there was no point in chatting in the same car, so he said: "Okay, Secretary Wang.
, you go first, we will see you in the evening." Wang Chunhua asked again: "Did you book the hotel, or did Director Chen Hong book it?" Xiao Zheng said: "It was Chen Hong who booked it." Wang Chunhua added: "Can you book the hotel with Chen Hong?"
Can you send me the director's phone number so that I can contact you more easily?" Xiao Zheng said, "No problem, I'll send it to you right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng sent Chen Hong's number to Wang Chunhua. Wang Chunhua replied with an OK and funny expression. Xiao Zheng was a little strange. Wang Chunhua usually has a serious face, but judging from his use of text message expressions
, he seems to have a sense of humor inside. Is it true that people cannot be judged by their appearance?
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Zheng also set off from An County. On the way, Xiao Zheng suddenly received a call from Chen Hong. She thought Chen Hong was here to ask if he had set off. But Chen Hong told him that the hotel had changed.
Xiao Zheng was a little surprised: "Why did you change the hotel suddenly? Did something go wrong with the 'Xiuchunjiang Private Banquet' you booked?" Chen Hong said: "It's not that there is anything wrong with the 'Xiuchunjiang Private Banquet', it's because the leader said he wanted to go
'Jingzhou Banquet'." "Jingzhou Banquet?" Xiao Zheng was a little unfamiliar, "Is this hotel better?"
"The class is the same as the 'Xiuchunjiang Private Banquet' we booked." Chen Hong said, "Maybe the leader prefers it there. Your deputy secretary Wang Chunhua informed me."
Xiao Zheng remembered that Wang Chunhua asked him for Chen Hong's mobile phone number in the morning. Did Wang Chunhua know that he might have to change hotels in the morning? Or did he go to Tan Zhen to suggest changing hotels? The reason for this is unknown. Xiao Zheng said: "Now the problem
Yes, are there any private rooms at the 'Jingzhou Banquet'? It's already so late." Chen Hong said: "The box was booked by Wang Chunhua, he should be related. You don't have to worry about this. Now you can go directly to the 'Jingzhou Banquet'
'Bar."
The "Xiuchunjiang Private Banquet" is located next to the city hall and has a unique view of the Xiuchun River; while the "Jingzhou Banquet" is in the old city, renovated from a former "Zhuangyuan Hall". In the Qing Dynasty, this family had a
No. 1 scholar, so the real estate where he lives is called the "No. 1 Scholar Hall" by the common people. When you eat here, you will get a piece of culture and nobility.
Does Secretary Tan want to show others that he prefers this cultural flavor to Jiang Jing? This question flashed through Xiao Zheng's mind. But he didn't think much about it. No matter what Tan Zhen thought, today Xiao Zheng
Zhenglai means just completing a mission.
Xiao Zheng asked Xiao Zhong to find the "Jingzhou Banquet" and walked into the "Zhuangyuan Hall". The entire club occupies a small area, but when you walk inside, you can see calligraphy and paintings on the walls, ancient books arranged on the counters, and high-quality footrests.
There is a wooden floor, a chandelier with golden light above the head, the door is arched with moonlight, the windows are hollow, and a warm fragrance penetrates the nostrils from time to time, making the whole body feel comfortable.
This artificially created patina seems to drain away the will of the person, who just wants to be immersed in this strange yet familiar sense of wealth. A waiter in ancient costume saw Xiao Zheng and guided him into the box.
.
This box is equally unique and extraordinary. The round table carved from mahogany has a smooth self-rotating marble table top, and the cushions on the straight-backed chairs are also made of gold.
Xiao Zheng saw a row of Maojiu under the tea cabinet next to him, and a box of gold leaves next to it, with as many as a dozen. Xiao Zheng was surprised. He usually gave each person a pack of gold leaves when eating.
That's already very polite. Do you want to send one to someone today?
Just these drinks and cigarettes, I can’t afford them without 20,000 yuan!
Xiao Zheng knew that Chen Hong had asked someone else to arrange this meal. How much of a favor did this have to be?
