Chapter 405: Testing the Waters

and said, "Yihong, I didn't misjudge you. You are a grateful person! I recognize you as my younger brother! Let's relax tonight." 。"Zhang Yimou said: “I called out Xiao Mei and Miao Miao.” 。Xiao Me...Li Haiyan made an appointment with Xiao Zheng to meet at the Phoenix Restaurant. 。Xiao Jingyu didn't want the city government officials to see that she often called up Xiao Zheng, the deputy magistrate of An County. 。Xiao Zheng recently hasn't been going to the City Committee and Municipal Government building even when he has nothing to do. He ran into his ex-girlfriend Chen Hong both times, and Chen Hong's attitude made Xiao Zheng feel very uncomfortable. 。So, meeting at the Phoenix Hotel would be more suitable than meeting at the City Hall. 。However, what Xiao Zheng didn't expect was that as soon as his car drove into the lobby of Phoenix Hotel, a black sedan quickly overtook his car and stopped in front of them, almost forcing him to stop. 。Xiao Zhong was a little annoyed: "How does this person drive This kind of driving is too domineering and prone to accidents!" Sha Hai looked at the car in front: "It's a BMW! And it has a Hangzhou license plate, no wonder it's so domineering!" Xiao Zheng sat in the back row, he straightened his body, looked through the windshield, and saw that the car in front was indeed a BMW with a Hangzhou license plate. 。At this moment, a fashionable woman stepped out of the back seat of the car. She was wearing a white lace blouse and a black fishtail skirt. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, with curls at the ends framing her face beautifully. Black high heels elongated her figure, making her appear even taller and more elegant. 。Xiao Zheng found it strange. Who could this woman from Hangzhou be Her fashion sense didn't seem typical of someone within the system; but her presence at the Phoenix Restaurant, a government-favored establishment, meant she must have some connection to officials. 。When Xiao Zheng was making such a guess, two people had already walked out from the lobby of Phoenix Hotel. They were Qian Xinhua, deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, and Wang Chunhua, deputy secretary of An County Committee. They greeted the fashionable woman enthusiastically and led her in. 。Because their attention was all on the woman, they didn't notice Xiao Zheng's car behind them. Otherwise, Wang Chunhua would have definitely recognized Xiao Zheng's car. 。Xiao Zheng didn't expect that Wang Chunhua would also be in Jingzhou city today, and she was with Qian Xinhua welcoming a fashionable woman from Hangzhou. 。Then this woman's identity truly becomes quite mysterious. 。Of course, this has little to do with Xiao Zheng. 。Today, Xiao Zheng mainly came to see Xiao Jingyu. 。To avoid being seen by Qian Xinhai and Wang Chunhua, Xiao Zhang told Xiao Zhong, "You drive the car over there. I won't be in the lobby downstairs, but in the parking lot next to it." 。Xiao Zhong also noticed something was amiss, so he reversed the car and drove it to a nearby parking space. 。Xiao Zheng then asked Sha Hai, "Would you please go and see if Mr. Qian and Wang (secretary) are still in the hall" Sha Hai immediately understood Xiao Zheng's meaning and quickly went to check. After a while, he came back and reported, "They are no longer in the hall; they probably went to a private room." 。Xiao Zheng nodded and then got out of the car. 。But as he was about to walk to the hotel entrance, a limousine suddenly drove in from the gate of the hotel's courtyard. 。 。The people in the car might not have been able to see Xiao Zheng, but Xiao Zheng clearly saw their license plate. 。It was the car of Tan Zhen, the secretary of the Jinshi City Committee. 。Xiao Zheng immediately slowed his pace and walked behind the porch stone pillars, where he could block the view of the people in the carriage. 。Just as the car stopped, two people got out of it. They were Mayor Tan Zhen from the city committee and a woman. 。Xiao Zheng's eyelids twitched slightly. The woman's figure and back were so familiar to him. If it wasn't Chen Hong, then who could it be!

A strange mixture of emotions surged in Xiao Zheng's heart: regret, loss, bitterness, and a sense of relief. It was truly something that could only be understood, not described. 。A person quickly ushered Tan Zhen and Chen Hong into the hall from outside, while reporting something to someone. This person was Wang Chunhua, Tan Zhen's former secretary. 。Tan Zhen nodded and walked forward. 。Chen Hong was wearing a red suit today, dignified yet passionate. 。。Xiao Zheng was striding toward the hotel entrance. 。After entering the hall, he didn't run into anyone familiar. Xiao Zheng entered the elevator alone and went straight to the private room where he had made an appointment with Xiao Jingyu. He didn't meet anyone he knew along the way. 。Inside the private room, Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan were already there. 。Since it was lunchtime, there was no drinking, so the dishes were served directly. 。Xiao Zheng told Xiao Jingyu about what he saw today. 。Xiao Zheng said that today Tan Zhen, Qian Xinhai, Wang Chunhua and others welcomed a woman from Hangzhou. It is unclear who this woman is. 。Xiaojingyu asked Li Haiyan to find out after dinner, if she could get any information it would be best, if not then it's fine. 。If Tan Zhen knew they were intentionally inquiring about who he was dating, it wouldn't be a good thing. 。Li Haiyan said: "Mayor Xiao, I'll know how to handle this." 。Three people were drinking light tea and eating vegetables. 。Seeing Xiao Jingyu after so many days, Xiao Zheng felt a faint and secret joy in his heart. 。Actually, due to his busy work schedule, he doesn't have much time to delve into his children's feelings on a daily basis. 。But, across the table, looking at Xiao Jingyu who was wearing a light purple stand-up collar silk shirt, that fair complexion, those rosy lips, were like a flower just about to bloom, and the fragrance of the flower was faint, almost imperceptible, yet it teased his heart. 。However, in front of Li Haiyan, he didn't show it. He just asked: "Mayor Xiao, you called me here today, should there be something" Xiao Jingyu's gaze was very quiet, silky smooth and long, nodding and saying: "Yeah, it's still about 'setting off fireworks'." 。To date, I haven't found a good way to stop this thing. I'm getting a bit frustrated, so I thought I'd chat with you about it. 。Xia Jingyu then spoke about her research over the past few days, including her reports to her superiors and the analysis meetings she had held. 。Xiao Zheng listened carefully and, after Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, looked at the slightly furrowed brows of Xiao Jingyu and said, "Mayor Xiao, back then it was because both Zhang Yihong and Chen Hong invested money that I reported it to you." 。I originally thought this was just a common case of high-interest loans, but the interest rate is surprisingly high. 。Judging from what you've said, this matter seems more complicated than it initially appeared. 。Even the city leaders are unwilling to take charge, and various departments are passing the buck. This can only mean one thing: 。Xiao Jingyu's eyes lit up and she asked, "What" Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "There may be involvement from city leaders or relevant personnel." 。Xiao Jingyu and Li Haiyan looked at each other, there was no doubt that they both thought of it, but they had never said it so directly. 。Ke Xiaozheng just said this so openly. 。At this point, Xiao Jingyu felt that Li Haiyan's suggestion to call Xiao Zheng was correct. 。In the entire Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government building, probably no one else could put the problem so bluntly like Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Jingyu said: "After the research in the previous stage, I think this 'firecracker' incident in Jingzhou will sooner or later cause problems." 。In this world, there's no kind of financing that can maintain such high interest rates without eventually bursting. 。Those at the top of this 'pump and dump' chain are using these high interest rates to greedily suck up social wealth, but I haven't figured out what their ultimate goal is yet. 。Because their circle seems to be quite secretive, outsiders can't get in!"

Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Jingyu and really wanted to reach out and smooth the worry between her brows, but he knew that the best way to solve her worries was to think of a way... 。"Mayor Xiao, you are right." 。What on earth are they trying to do, and who is this supposed "landlord" of theirs That's crucial information. 。If we grasp this point, we will know ourselves and our enemy. 。Xiao Jingyu raised his head, his eyes filled with admiration: "County Magistrate Xiao, you are right." 。But figuring out who that 'landlord' is, and what their motives are, isn't so easy. 。”ation I have at the moment is that the plane's propeller was found on a beach." 。"Do you have any more updates" Xiao Xuan shook his head. "This is the latest news." 。Xiao Fufu nodded and said, "In t...
