As his godfather said, his biggest advantage is that he has a backer that no one can offend. With the death of Mr. Ye, he has lost his backer and will be in an extremely isolated situation in Jiangnan Jinping. situation. This means that since then, he seems to have lost the capital to act arbitrarily!
In the past, he might not have wasted his time trying to speculate on Zhang Binglin¡¯s motives and intentions, but now, he could not help but do so because of the hidden sense of crisis in his heart.
Mayor Zhang Binglin has absolutely no stake in the direction of this case. If anything, it was his son Zhang Shaofeng who provided a "possibly" false testimony as a witness. Is it because of this that Zhang Binglin, as the mayor, has to take action personally to help his son stand out? This is obviously illogical!
Liang Chen lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The familiar smell of tobacco put his mind in a flexible and beating state. Suddenly, Liang Chen's thick eyebrows frowned. If his guess is correct, Zhang Binglin's intention should be to test his attitude!
The facts are almost the same as Liang Chen¡¯s guess.
At this time, Zhang Binglin was standing in front of the office window with his hands behind his back. There is a rare layer of pure white on the roof of the street. According to his secretary Xiao Geng, this amount of snow is rare in Jinping's history. It's the end of the month now, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the city's New Year flavor is getting stronger. He has decided to spend this year¡¯s Spring Festival in Jiangnan!
In September, former Municipal Party Committee Chairman Wang Fusheng and Vice Mayor Zhang Linhu were sacked. He seemed to be the biggest winner. While he was excited, the powerful energy displayed by Liang Chen also aroused his deep vigilance. He was even more worried that once he had a conflict of interest with Liang Chen, he would most likely become the next Wang Fusheng or Zhang Linhu. It was out of this consideration that he had always been condescending and deliberately befriended Liang Chen.
However, no leader would like a strong and unstable subordinate, and Zhang Binglin did not want his relationship with Liang Chen to remain passive forever. He spent a lot of effort to find out about Liang Chen's background through various connections, but the final result shocked him extremely!
At this time, under the recommendation of Deputy Mayor Zou Ruilin, he received a distinguished guest from the capital. A conversation of more than an hour was enough to bring about a radical change in his official career. Officialdom has always been getting harder and harder, especially at his level. Even a small step forward requires extremely lucky opportunities!
He, Zhang Binglin, has been working since he was 18 years old and has been in politics for more than 30 years. He has worked hard step by step and finally got to where he is today. He considers himself to be as capable as others, but the only thing he lacks is the words "there is no one in the court". He knew very well that if he wanted to go further, he would not be able to do it without the support of a 'noble person'! So, when such an 'adventure' was placed in front of him, he had no reason to refuse! He chose to take sides without hesitation!
Zhang Binglin's mood towards Liang Chen was somewhat complicated and embarrassing. Although his trust was no longer there, even though he had become a member of Tao Xie's big ship, subconsciously, he did not want to be Liang Chen's enemy. Of course, the premise is that Liang Chen must maintain the necessary respect and obedience to him as the mayor.
And this ordinary case was just his test. As the saying goes, if you don't even give him this little face, how can you ensure that Liang Chen will obey him and keep in step when there are big differences in the future! ?
He hopes that Liang Chen is a smart person, and he also hopes that Liang Chen can clearly understand his own position!
On January 22, Liang Chen held a working meeting of the leadership team, mainly to arrange various work tasks during the Spring Festival. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. This year's Spring Festival, Liang Chen is planning to take Qingying, Zijing, Xiaoyue, Faye Wong and Duoduo back to his hometown in Dongfeng to celebrate the New Year.
Before you know it, another year is about to pass! Liang Chen walked out of the city bureau office building and looked at the gray sky, feeling a slight chill in his heart. In Jinping's winter, there is more rain and less snow, and the cold and dampness makes him, a native of the north, very unaccustomed to it.
"Director!" A voice came from behind. Liang Chen turned around and saw Xu Fengying in police uniform coming out of the door. "I heard that you are going back to Liaodong to celebrate the New Year, so I will send you New Year greetings in advance!" Walking up to Liang Chen, Xu Fengying said softly with a soft smile on her pretty face.
¡°Then let me also say in advance, Happy Spring Festival!¡± Liang Chen said with a smile. In the meeting just now, Xu Fengying took the initiative to request to be on duty during the Spring Festival. From this, it seems that Xu Fengying planned to stay in Jinping alone for the Spring Festival.
"Thank you, Director!" A trace of sadness flashed in Xu Fengying's beautiful eyes, but she still forced a smile on her face. Her parents died young, and her only biological brother was killed by drug trafficker Tao Zhelong three years ago.Revenge was avenged, but her heart was broken by her boyfriend of two years. Now she is truly without friends and helpless!
"Goodbye!" Liang Chen felt a pity in his heart and stretched out his hand to this beautiful and strong woman.
"Goodbye!" Her palm was held by that warm and powerful hand, and Xu Fengying felt a warm current flowing down her arm into her body. The cold loneliness in my heart seemed to be driven away a little. This feeling made her a little attached.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of the air-conditioning into the home, Liang Chen was surprised to find an uninvited guest sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She put on her slippers, took off her coat and handed it to Zi Jing. Zi Jing secretly curled her pink lips at him, showing her dislike of the person on the sofa. Qingying and Feihan are not in the living room, they should be coaxing Xiao Duoduo in the bedroom. Xiaoyue was nowhere to be seen. She probably went next door to play with Xixi.
There is steaming tea on the coffee table. It can be seen that although he is unwelcome and even disgusted with this uninvited guest, he has still done all the hospitality he should have. Seeing Liang Chen coming over, the guest who was sitting on the sofa stood up and reached out to Liang Chen.
"How come Mayor Ye is interested in coming to Jinping? Are you here to do business?" Liang Chen stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party, and then made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the other party should take a seat. He was really surprised that Ye Hao came to Jinping at this time.
"I came here specifically to see Qingying and Zijing!" Ye Hao smiled, and then said in a self-deprecating tone: "I was mentally prepared to be shut out before! Unexpectedly, Qingying and Zijing not only let I came in and poured me a cup of hot tea, so touching!"
"Hmph!" Ye Zijing snorted lightly, her face tensed slightly, and she obviously didn't intend to give the other party a good look.
"Mayor Ye is from Liaoyang?" Liang Chen was at a loss for words. He felt that he had nothing in common with the other party. However, he was a little curious about Ye Hao's purpose of coming to Jinping this time.
"No!" Ye Hao's expression darkened immediately, and he whispered: "I burned my head for great-grandfather, so I came here by plane!"
After hearing Ye Hao's answer, whether it was Liang Chen, Ye Zijing, or Ye Qingying and Faye Wong who had just walked out of the bedroom, holding Duo Duo in their arms, all had sad looks on their faces.
There was a brief silence in the living room. The original rejection and hostility towards Ye Hao also decreased a lot at this moment. However, this effect was as expected by Ye Hao.
"My great-grandpa once said to me when he was seriously ill! No matter how much resentment Qingying, Zijing and the fourth aunt have, they are all right. It was indeed my grandfather who failed to fulfill his responsibility as a father and let the four My uncle is drifting away and has suffered all kinds of grievances!" Ye Hao said sadly: "His old man told me to take good care of Qingying and sister Zijing no matter what the circumstances!"
Having said this, Ye Hao took a deep look at his two cousins ??and said in an extremely serious tone: "I just hope that you can give your family a chance to make amends!"
Most of these words came from Ye Lao, which made it easier for Ye Qingying and Ye Zijing to accept them. Ye Hao's posture was very low, and his expression and tone made people feel sincere. Years of resentment could not be resolved with just one or two words from Ye Hao, but at least it allowed Ye Qingying and Ye Zijing to reduce the hostility and rejection in their hearts a lot. It can be said that Ye Hao is a master in the art of speaking.
"I'm going to cook, you guys talk slowly!" The coldness on Faye Wong's beautiful face has somewhat dissipated. Although it has not completely eased, her attitude towards having guests for dinner proves that she has a good impression of Ye Hao. Made some improvements.
The atmosphere at dinner could not be called absolutely harmonious, but it was passable. Ye Hao is a master at creating atmosphere. Every look and every word he says is completely aimed at catering to the psychology of Liang Chen, Ye Qingying, Ye Zijing, and Faye Wong. Inadvertently, the distance between each other gradually narrowed.
After dinner, Ye Hao quickly stood up and said goodbye. He knew that haste makes waste, and today's visit was just to show his sincerity and lay the foundation for further contact in the future. If you want Liang Chen's family to completely put aside their old grudges, they need a suitable opportunity.
Before leaving, Ye Hao left behind a small jade pendant as a gift for Xiao Duoduo. Liang Chen was not polite at all and accepted it directly, which surprised Deputy Mayor Ye who was mentally prepared to 'push it around'.
After sending Ye Hao downstairs and watching him drive away, Liang Chen's eyes flashed with amusement. This Ye Hao is really interesting! To be honest, he admired this guy quite a lot. In terms of far-sightedness and magnanimity, Ye Hao was even better than Li Mingyang! This kind of magnanimity and grace that accommodates all rivers is an important prerequisite for becoming a family leader. Ye Hao should have this as his goal!
? ??I don¡¯t believe that that guy came all the way to Jinping just to come to our house and say a few words! "As soon as he entered the living room, Liang Chen heard the little goblin's suspicious voice. Seeing him come in, Ye Zijing immediately waved her hand and said: "Chen, tell me, what is Ye Hao's heart at ease? "
Liang Chen walked to Ye Qingying, gently scratched his baby daughter's tender face with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Deputy Mayor Ye is so kind! They are worried that we will be bullied in Jinping in the future, so they came here to express their stance. of!"
Speaking of this, Liang Chen paused deliberately, glanced at Faye Wong and Qingying, shook his head and said, "I can't tell, I will owe a big favor in the future!"
