At around four or five in the afternoon, Chen Hongxing called Li Lin.
At that time, Li Lin was still in his office studying the issue of teachers returning to work at the Education Bureau.
He was a little surprised to see Chen Hongxing calling him suddenly.
After the call was connected, Chen Hongxing's voice came over, "Haha, brother Li Lin, congratulations on your promotion to deputy county magistrate of Shannan County. I learned about this news late, otherwise I would have visited you a long time ago. Don't pick on me."
There was another meaning in his words. Chen Hongxing was complaining that Li Lin had been promoted, but he never called him to tell him the good news. Instead, he heard the news from someone else... He felt that Li Lin didn't treat him as his own, and he felt a little unhappy.
Li Lin said very apologetically, "Brother Chen, it was my negligence. I have been busy with work since I took office and did not report to you in time. Please bear with me."
Li Lin is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful. He thinks that Chen Hongxing has helped him more than once. Moreover, Sun Huaide once told Li Lin that Chen Hongxing is an upright person and worth making friends with!
He was not making excuses to fool Chen Hongxing, but that was the fact. After taking office, he had been thinking about work and neglected many things.
Hearing this, Chen Hongxing raised his head and laughed twice. He said generously, "Don't worry, brother. I understand you. Otherwise, I wouldn't call you to congratulate you today... Are you free tonight? I want to meet you and congratulate you in person."
Li Lin smiled and said, "No matter how busy I am, I must make time to entertain you, Brother Chen. Come on, I will invite County Magistrate Ma tonight, and the three of us can have a couple of drinks."
Chen Hongxing smiled and declined, "Brother, please don't disturb County Magistrate Ma tonight. To tell you the truth, I need your help with something small. I think we should just have a quick meal and chat."
oh?
Li Lin was a little surprised and didn't know how he could help Chen Hongxing.
...
It was said that it was just a simple meal, but Chen Hongxing seldom came to Shannan County. If he really invited people to eat at a street restaurant, people would think that Li Lin looked down on them.
Therefore, the place to entertain Chen Hongxing in the evening was chosen to be the cafeteria behind the county hotel.
This place is specially used to entertain senior leaders. The environment is elegant and the standards are high.
As Chen Hongxing requested, Li Lin did not find anyone to accompany him.
The table was filled with inexpensive but exquisite dishes and local wine from Pingyang City.
The two of them just sat side by side.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Lin raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Hongxing, saying with a smile, "Brother Chen, I've always remembered your kindness in my heart. If you hadn't helped me control that bastard Chang Guochao, he would have beaten me badly. Maybe I would have been defeated by the Lu family at that time, and I wouldn't be who I am now."
Chen Hongxing nodded silently, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then said meaningfully, "Xiao Lin, Chang Guochao is a scumbag. If I had known that he would dare to harm you, I would have dealt with him long ago! I heard that he has now fallen to the point of living at home in retirement... It's too good for him!"
Li Lin couldn't help but be curious, wondering what Chang Guochao had done to make Chen Hongxing hate him so much. But Chen Hongxing didn't say anything, so Li Lin couldn't ask more.
Chen Hongxing probably saw Li Lin's confusion, smiled and said, "At that time, we were on the phone, and I couldn't tell you exactly what crime Chang Guochao had committed. Today, it's just the two of us, so you listen to me talk to you."
"When Chang Guochao was the deputy director of the Municipal Health Commission, he often used his position to do dirty things to play with female employees. There was a nurse who had just graduated from university and was assigned to our Second Hospital. Once, Chang Guochao came to inspect the hospital and fell in love with the girl... He asked someone to trick the girl into a drinking party, got her drunk, and then..."
Chen Hongxing sighed softly, as if he didn't want to mention this matter again.
He picked up another glass of wine and clinked it with Li Lin. With red eyes, he said, "Then he forced himself on the female nurse... The next day, the female nurse couldn't stand the shock and ran to the hospital to jump off the building. I rescued her and called the police directly... I thought Chang Guochao would be punished, but I don't know what means he used. In the end, the police released him due to insufficient evidence. The victim nurse was also punished for false accusation... Not long after, the nurse went crazy..."
"I was so angry that I called Mr. Sun for help, saying that I must bring Chang Guochao to justice. Mr. Sun was very supportive and called the city's police chief to ask him to uphold justice... Under pressure, Chang Guochao was arrested again, but was released after a few days. After he was released, he came to me directly and knelt down to beg me not to pursue the matter further..."
"I was very confused at the time. Why did he kneel down and beg me instead of begging the murdered girl... Later I found out that he had made all the connections in the Public Security Bureau, and the chief of the Public Security Bureau asked him to beg me, saying that as long as I stopped pursuing the matter, the matter would be over... Xiaolin, don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"I was determined to bring him to justice, but Chang Guochao proposed to give the girl a sum of money to make up for his mistake. If he went to jail, he would not compensate the girl... I took into account that the girl's family conditions were average, and she would need a lot of money for medical treatment in the future..."
"The matter was later left unresolved, so Chang Guochao was afraid that I would bring up the past. Knowing that I had Mr. Sun as my backer, he didn't dare to provoke me and just listened to me..."
Li Lin listened silently.
He felt sorry that Chen Hongxing did not send Chang Guochao to jail in the end.
However, it cannot be said that what Chen Hongxing did was wrong...perhaps it was the girl's family who asked for it, and he was just acting as a middleman to coordinate.
It can be seen that Chen Hongxing was in a heavy mood when talking about this matter.
Li Lin raised his glass to toast him and comforted him, "Brother Chen, a scum like Chang Guochao will definitely not have a good ending. I believe that good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. We just have to wait and see."
Chen Hongxing nodded seriously and said, "Yeah, I think so too...Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's drink."
After three rounds of drinks, Chen Hongxing mentioned to Li Lin what Yu Xiaoyun had asked him to do.
"Xiao Lin, you know Vice President Yu of our hospital, right?"
"It's like this. For some unknown reason, her daughter was assigned to Shannan County to teach. She asked me to ask you if you can find a way to transfer her daughter back to the city."
Yu Xiaoyun is Bai Jie's mother. Li Lin still remembers her mean face.
As Yu Xiaoyun's direct leader, there is nothing wrong with Chen Hongxing speaking up for her.
Li Lin smiled and said, "Yes, I have sent someone to investigate the situation. If Bai Jie is still employed by the city and enjoys the city's salary, I think it is reasonable to transfer her back... But I need to find out the specific problem first."
Seeing that Li Lin agreed so readily, Chen Hongxing was happy. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
