Liu Xinlin, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Government, Xiao Han, secretary-general, and Tang Yiyang, executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, gathered in Chen Jing's office.
Everyone's face was ugly and extremely solemn.
Chen Jing was sitting on his office chair, his expression exceptionally calm. He held a cigarette in his hand and slowly smoked it.
"Secretary, I think we can be more certain if we prepare early. After all, your plans and intentions have basically been achieved. If you wait any longer, I'm worried..." Xiao Han said softly.
Chen Jing said nothing.
Xiao Han quickly winked at Liu Xinlin.
Liu Xinlin said: "Secretary, some of our cadres in Jingjiang seem to be unable to bear it any longer. Today some cadres went to Chucheng, seemingly to report to the provincial party committee. It seems to be to report our mistakes in the work of the Jingjiang Shipyard. I
Look, someone wants to usurp power!"
Chen Jing frowned, glared at Liu Xinlin fiercely, and said, "Xinlin, watch your words. You are a party cadre, how can you speak so irresponsibly? When you usurp power and seize the throne, do you think we are still in a feudal society?
"
Liu Xinlin's face changed, and he pursed his lips and did not dare to speak anymore.
It can be seen that they are under great pressure now and all of them are anxious inside.
Ever since the Provincial Sanchu Morning News published a special article criticizing the Jingjiang Municipal Party Committee and Chen Jing, the situation has become increasingly wrong from the province to the city.
According to gossip, there are leaders in the province who are trying to force Secretary Wu of the Provincial Party Committee to have an abortion. If nothing else happens, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will be convened soon. At that meeting, the matter in Jingjiang will be completely determined. If
If so, Chen Jing would be in danger.
Chen Jing is in danger, and there are no eggs in the nest. All the efforts Chen Jing has made since taking over Jingjiang will be in vain, and the team Chen Jing finally built in Jingjiang will also be wiped out in this storm.
The provincial party committee is like this, and Xu Bing in the city has already started taking action.
Xu Bing's foundation is not shallow to begin with. Recently, he has joined forces with others and acted unscrupulously. Many members of the Standing Committee have requested to convene an enlarged meeting to re-examine the shipyard's issues.
The shipyard's restructuring cannot follow Chen Jing's ideas and should be re-examined.
This approach is undoubtedly to force the palace. Everyone unites to suppress Chen Jing's prestige. The ultimate goal is self-evident.
Even Shan Jiaqiang, who has always been at odds with Xu Bing, has become ambiguous during this time.
Although he did not express his position clearly, not expressing his position at this time often means that he is quietly moving closer to Xu Bing.
Otherwise, given the incompatible personalities between him and Xu Bing, why wouldn't he jump out and confront Xu Bing? Obviously, he has lost such courage now.
Up and down, the atmosphere is wrong. No wonder people around Chen Jing feel uneasy.
Chen Jing remained silent, and Tang Yiyang also remained silent.
Tang Yiyang is different from Liu Xinlin and Xiao Han. He has followed Chen Jing for a long time. He was Chen Jing's subordinate many years ago. He is convinced of Chen Jing and his confidence in Chen Jing has never wavered.
Although the situation seemed to be out of control, it did not shake his confidence at all.
So much so that when Liu Xinlin and Xiao Han winked at him frequently, he pretended not to notice.
In his opinion, Chen Jing has to make big plans, seize the opportunity, and make big decisions. He only needs to strictly follow the secretary's requirements. He doesn't have enough brains to worry about other things.
In an extremely depressing atmosphere, there was silence for half an hour.
Chen Jingdao: "Wait a minute, you won't be able to calm down at the slightest sign of trouble? Do what you should do. Don't waste time with me. Go!"
Tang Yiyang turned around and left. Liu Xinlin and Xiao Han looked at each other and slowly retreated.
Xiao Han hesitated to speak, but Chen Jing's eyes suddenly stared at him. He felt a chill in his heart and couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to retreat.
After everyone left, Chen Jing was the only one left.
Chen Jing rubbed his hands vigorously. Then he rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.
This time he gained a lot of experience and lessons. In the words of the old chairman, when he did this, he just ate a bowl of rice with uncooked rice. Now it seems that the rice with uncooked rice is not delicious, not only those guys who can't hold it in for a long time jump
Come out and do mischief.
Even some of the people Chen Jing controlled in Jingjiang are now shaken. These are all problems discovered.
"Ding, ding!"
The phone on the table rang.
Chen Jing grabbed the phone and said, "I'm Chen Jing, who are you?"
"Chen Jing, are you in the office?" A calm voice sounded.
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stood up and said: "Secretary, it's you, please call yourself..."
The call came from Wu Daming. Chen Jing was a little surprised and at a loss. He hurriedly said: "Secretary, this time... I..."
"I know it all! There's no need to make a fuss if you pass by a stormy person!" Wu Daming interrupted him, "On Wednesday next week, the Provincial Party Committee will hold an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, and you have to attend. There are still five days left, so make good use of it.
!”
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment and said: "Secretary..."
Wu Daming said calmly: "I know you are busy now, so just keep busy. There are some things that don't need to be reported. I hope you can realize your intentions. This is an excellent opportunity for your development in Chujiang!"
The phone call was short and ended in just a few sentences.
Chen Jing held the microphone and put it down after a long time.
He knew clearly that Wu Daming actually called him to talk about one thing, that is, when was the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee meeting.
This meeting will decide the fate of Jing Jiang and Chen Jing, and both of them know this.
Of course, this meeting also decided whether Wu Daming would encounter Waterloo again, or whether he would occupy Tianwang Mountain on the Chu River and be able to change from passive to active.
Both of them knew this.
Communication between smart people does not require too many words. Chen Jing and Wu Daming have worked together for many years and know each other quite well. Chen Jing does not need to explain too much, because Wu Daming can also understand his moves.
Success depends on people, and planning depends on heaven. Many times, success or failure cannot be determined by human power.
Thinking of this, Chen Jing felt a little ashamed. In a simple phone call, what Wang Mingfeng conveyed to Chen Jing was his lack of confidence in Chen Jing, but what Wu Daming conveyed was his greatest support for Chen Jing!
This is why Chen Jing and Wu Daming have such a tacit understanding and are so in tune with each other.
The so-called like-minded people.
The relationship between Chen Jing and Wu Daming is not only a superior-subordinate relationship, but also a friendship. They are also models of like-minded people.
What Chen Jing is ashamed of is that he has made such a big deal. On the one hand, it is for Jingjiang, and on the other hand, he also wants to have an impact on the entire Chujiang River, thereby indirectly supporting Wu Daming.
However, a small oversight changed the situation and put Wu Daming in danger. He felt that he was somewhat unworthy of his expectations for Wu Daming.
Putting the phone on the phone holder, Chen Jing picked up the phone again, and this time he called the driver Lao He.
…
A winding river, the water is dirty and rotten, and the river is full of all kinds of garbage. Even in winter, it exudes a stench that makes people feel sick.
Along the river bank, there are simple shacks on both sides, some of which are wooden structures, and some of which are exposed masonry structures, all covered with dilapidated asbestos tiles. Looking at it at a glance, there are houses stacked on top of each other, giving people the only feeling of being messy.
.dirty.
This is the epitome of the laid-off workers gathering area in Jingjiang. Such shantytowns can be seen everywhere in Jingjiang now.
Some shantytowns were built on the spot after old factories closed down and laid-off workers had nowhere to go.
Some shantytowns were old houses. Later, laid-off workers continued to expand them in order to accommodate more people. Without planning, the more they expanded, the more messy they became, and this is what they look like in front of you.
Chen Jing walked slowly along the muddy alley.
There was some drizzle in the sky. The driver, Lao He, held up an umbrella. Chen Jing waved his hand and said, "Put it away. What does this light rain mean?"
In the rain, Chen Jing walked alone.
At this time, most of the adults in the shantytowns went out to do temporary work. Most of these people were doing menial hard work such as shining leather shoes, riding three-wheelers, loading and unloading. The only ones left at home were their children and some women and children.
The children were playing, but the elderly and women at home were busy.
Life is not easy. As long as family members can work, they must work with all their strength. Only in this way can the family's life be guaranteed.
Chen Jing stopped outside a small courtyard with rocks. Outside the courtyard, there were three four or five-year-old children sitting cross-legged on the steps playing a game of catching stones.
The children were covered in stains all over their bodies. Among them was a boy whose face looked like a tabby cat. His mouth, nose and face were covered with mud, but his black eyes were spotless.
The little guys were playing so enthusiastically that they didn't realize that Chen Jing was standing not far behind them.
"You guys are not allowed to play underground. If you don't obey me, be careful and I will tell your adults!" A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old suddenly walked out from the door. She held a vegetable basket in her hand and stared.
Yelled at some kids.
A few little guys climbed up from the ground, threw the stones, clapped their hands and made birds and animals scatter.
The little girl smiled and continued to move forward. She looked up and suddenly saw Chen Jing. She was stunned and her face suddenly turned red.
Chen Jing looked at the little girl. She had a beautiful face, but she was skinny and skinny, especially her cheeks were yellow. It looked like she had been living a hard life for a long time and had bad effects.
She was wearing a down jacket with a white background and blue flowers that is popular among girls nowadays. The clothes were a little wrinkled and shriveled, making it look very thin, but it was clean.
She lowered her head slightly, feeling very shy and at a loss.
"You..." she said hesitantly. She glanced at Chen Jing secretly, as if she seemed familiar.
Chen Jing smiled slightly and said, "Your name is Xia Qing! Are your father and grandfather at home?"
The girl raised her head and looked at Chen Jing in surprise. She was stunned for a long time and suddenly said: "You...are you Secretary Chen? I...I..."
Chen Jing nodded and said, "Yes, I made a special trip to see your grandpa today. What's wrong? You didn't go to school today?"
The girl's face changed, she shook her head sadly, but said: "Grandpa and dad are both at home, I... I'll go tell them."
After saying that, she walked away, turned around and ran into the small courtyard... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
