Qiu Hengde waited for Song Wendi to finish explaining, then took out a document from the file bag, stood up, and distributed it to everyone. After returning to his seat, Qiu Hengde carefully scanned the candidates for the key positions, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
This material was handed to him by Fang Zhicheng five minutes ago. Before that, no one knew who was on the list. When Qiu Hengde communicated with Song Wendi yesterday afternoon, the names mentioned by Song Wendi surprised Qiu Hengde very much, because Song Wendi selected a group of candidates who were not the focus of his attention. When the final list surfaced, Qiu Hengde realized that the discussion in Song Wendi's office yesterday afternoon was just a feint, and Song Wendi still selected the candidates according to the previous thinking.
Zhang Guoxin looked embarrassed and glanced at Song Wendi sharply, because the list on the material was completely inconsistent with the information eavesdropped by "Shunfenger" yesterday afternoon. This also meant that his carefully planned plan to establish his authority was cunningly blocked by Song Wendi.
In order to deliver a powerful blow, Zhang Guoxin arranged for someone to retrieve the list that Song Wendi discussed with Qiu Hengde yesterday afternoon overnight. Zhang Guoxin had leverage over everyone on the list. Once Song Wendi mentioned it, Zhang Guoxin could dump all the secret information out and catch Song Wendi off guard. Then, he could join forces with Xia Xiang to put forward other candidates, and Song Wendi would have no power to fight back by then.
Zhang Guoxin subconsciously reached for a cigarette case from his pocket, but was interrupted by Song Wendi. Song Wendi smiled and said, "We've all seen the list, let's talk about it. The Standing Committee is not a one-man show. I've been in Yinzhou for a relatively short time, not as knowledgeable as some of the people here, so I've discussed with Comrade Hengde. Now this list is just a draft, and we must respect any opinions that can be used for reference." After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Xia Xiang and transferred the ball to Xia Xiang's feet.
Song Wendi now doesn't know who is so bold as to plant a bug in his office, but the people he suspects most are undoubtedly Xia Xiang and Zhang Guoxin, so he wants to test them now to see who will reveal his true colors.
Xia Xiang glanced at Song Wendi, then at Zhang Guoxin, thinking that something was wrong with Zhang Guoxin's expression. He frowned and said, "The Municipal Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau are all key departments. There is no problem with the ability of these candidates. However, for a competent cadre, ability is important, but the key lies in prestige and morality. My understanding of these people only stays at work, as for their living standards, I don't know much. Other comrades need to sharpen their eyes and discuss together."
Although Xia Xiang did not say it explicitly, his implication was clear. He did not agree with the list, but he did not give his reasons. Song Wendi looked at Xia Xiang with mixed emotions, knowing that Xia Xiang was only an assist, and the main attacker might still be Zhang Guoxin. So, Song Wendi stared at Zhang Guoxin coldly, glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Comrade Guoxin, although you have been in Yinzhou for a very short time, you have rich experience in party affairs and the ability to judge people. Moreover, as a new leader in Yinzhou, your views must be more objective. You might as well speak frankly."
Zhang Guoxin thought to himself that Song Wendi was indeed experienced. In just a few words, he pushed himself to the forefront. He took off his black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, cleared his throat and said, "Secretary Wendi has given me a difficult problem. I have read the materials carefully. I have to say that our Yinzhou Organization Department has done a very detailed and comprehensive job. The resumes of these candidates are concise and to the point. At the same time, the core competitiveness of each candidate is very obvious. For example, Comrade Ding Feng is a model figure established by the provincial public security system and has made great achievements. Naturally, we have to support him. As for the candidates from the two departments of industry and commerce and land, they also have strong professional capabilities. As for the reputation of the people, they are also outstanding, so I support the decision made by the Organization Department."
As soon as Zhang Guoxin said this, Xia Xiang's face suddenly turned ugly. Zhang Guoxin seemed unaware of Xia Xiang's expression. He put on his glasses again, held the teacup, blew gently on the floating leaves, and said no more.
Because Zhang Guoxin changed sides at the last minute, Xia Xiang had to retreat. Seeing that the three giants had reached a consensus, the other members of the Standing Committee were naturally happy to see it happen and quickly approved the appointment of cadres to several key departmental positions.
After the meeting, Xia Xiang followed Zhang Guoxin closely, and asked angrily, "Old Zhang, what happened? Why did you change your mind about the original plan?"
Zhang Guoxin sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Come on, go to my office and have a cup of tea, I will explain it to you."
Qiu Hengde stood to the right of Song Wendi. Seeing Xia Xiang and Zhang Guoxin whispering to each other, he smiled disdainfully and whispered, "We are really lucky this time. If it weren't for Secretary Wendi who kept a trick up his sleeve, I'm afraid today's meeting wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Song Wendi glanced at Qiu Hengde thoughtfully and said calmly, "You cooperated well in the scene yesterday afternoon."
Qiu Hengde said awkwardly: "I can only say that Secretary Wendi's acting skills are too good. She even scared me into a cold sweat."
Song Wendi was calm and composed, with a trace of worry on his lips. He sighed, "Officialdom is always full of twists and turns. If you can't change flexibly, you will most likely be at a disadvantage. Comrade Guo Xin has been in Yinzhou for less than a month, and he has already started to stir up trouble. It will be difficult to carry out the work in the future. He is in charge of the work of the Party Committee, and there will be many areas where he will have to negotiate with you in the future. You need to be careful."
Qiu Hengde looked solemn. Although his side had the upper hand in this personnel dispute, that was also due to coincidence. If Fang Zhicheng had not been so meticulous, how could he have easily discovered that there was an extra "super-ear" in the office of the municipal party secretary
Qiu Hengde smiled and said, "This time it's all thanks to Fang Zhicheng. If it weren't for him, the outcome would be hard to predict. I'm not far from Comrade Guo Xin's position. His notebook is filled with words. It's obvious that he came prepared."
Song Wendi nodded gently and sighed sincerely: "Zhicheng is indeed my lucky general. Because of him, I took advantage of the situation and cleverly dismantled many dirty tricks. Unfortunately, he is too young. Even if I want to help him, I have to worry about what people say."
Seeing that Song Wendi spoke so highly of Fang Zhicheng, Qiu Hengde was secretly happy for Fang Zhicheng. As he spent more time with Fang Zhicheng, Qiu Hengde felt more and more that Fang Zhicheng was a rare young man.
Fang Zhicheng not only saved Qiu Hengde from the heavy rain and flood, but if he hadn't personally urged it, the kidnapped Lele would probably not have been found so easily. Qiu Hengde and his wife are now very satisfied with Fang Zhicheng, and they secretly reached an agreement to match Fang Zhicheng with Xie Yuxin. Qiu Hengde even subconsciously regards Fang Zhicheng as his brother-in-law.
After seeing off Xia Xiang, Zhang Guoxin received a call from Ye Mingjing. Zhang Guoxin told Ye Mingjing about the whole process of the Standing Committee. Ye Mingjing was silent for a long time and sighed, "I didn't expect Song Wendi to be so experienced and to be able to see through such a covert arrangement. It makes sense that Xia Xiang was suppressed by him and could not recover."
Zhang Guoxin whispered, "Should we remove the bug as soon as possible? Otherwise, there might be problems."
Ye Mingjing waved his hand and said confidently: "The people I arranged are all very well-educated and will definitely not be discovered, so you can rest assured. As for the bug, I'll give it to Song Wendi. If I go to the municipal party secretary again, it will increase the risk of being exposed."
Zhang Guoxin nodded and whispered, "Then what should we do next?"
Ye Mingjing said in a deep voice: "I am determined to acquire Yinzhou Heavy Machinery. The next step will naturally be to acquire Yinzhou Heavy Machinery. You must cooperate with me..."
Chapter 0077: Hongmen Banquet: Repaying Kindness with Revenge
There are too many conflicts of interest in the official career path, so enemies emerge continuously. Song Wendi suppressed Xia Xiang. The Ye family quickly arranged for Zhang Guoxin to come to Yinzhou. However, this did not affect Song Wendi's determination to vigorously rectify Yinzhou. A series of deployments emerged like snowflakes, and Yinzhou suddenly became the front line of reform and innovation in many fields of Huainan Province.
Because there are too many decrees, Ding Nengren, as the municipal party committee's chief steward, is overwhelmed. All instructions issued by the municipal party committee secretary's office must be tracked, coordinated and supervised by the municipal party committee office. As a result, Ding Nengren has lost a lot of weight recently, and his slightly bald forehead is now even less hairy. In order to maintain a good image, Ding Nengren has recently fallen in love with wigs, but sometimes because he doesn't pay attention, the wig is crooked, but he doesn't know it, which makes others laugh secretly.
Fang Zhicheng became more and more familiar with his job. Although his work phone was still busy, it did not make him anxious. He did not answer all the calls because of limited manpower. He could not take care of every detail, so he found a clever way to organize many phone numbers into groups and add prefixes "A, B, C, D..."
A-level phone numbers must be answered as soon as possible, and there are about ten people in total. B-level calls can be answered or returned later depending on the situation, and there are about twenty to thirty people. As for calls below C level, Fang Zhicheng usually waits until he is free and then returns the call and text message.
This method may seem a bit opportunistic, but it will greatly increase his work efficiency. After all, as the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary, he will encounter many emergencies every day. If he is not careful, it is very likely to cause political accidents, which would be bad. Therefore, there is no need for him to focus all his energy on answering the phone.
The key to Fang Zhicheng becoming "senior" is that over time, he has accumulated enough connections and is familiar with the main leaders of the four teams. At the same time, because of Song Wendi's relationship, he is naturally valued by many government officials. Sometimes the airs are not deliberately put up by oneself, but inadvertently built up by some people who are trying to curry favor with others.
Fang Zhicheng got off work early today. After riding his bicycle back to the community, he saw that although the flowers and plants in the community flower beds were withered, the few pine trees were unusually green. Although it was cold, he was still moved. He got off the bicycle and strolled for a while, enjoying the early winter scenery.
Each season has its own unique flavor. Although winter is cold and the trees are withered, it seems desolate, but there is a sense of silence and desolation. Fang Zhicheng is very special. Perhaps because his birthday is in the twelfth lunar month, he has a special feeling for winter. Immersed in his overflowing emotions, he did not realize that there was another person beside him.
Cheng Bin patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder. Fang Zhicheng turned around, his face darkened, and whispered, "Brother Cheng, it turned out to be you!"
Cheng Bin is such a rude guy. It's bad enough that he hasn't paid back the money he owes me, but he still hasn't divorced Qin Yuming. This procrastinating and sticky character really makes people speechless.
Cheng Bin's beard was not shaved, so his face looked a little unclear. His clothes were yellowish, as if they were not washed. He was a completely different person from the handsome man he was six months ago. The environment was really important to a person. Qin Yuming was very careful back then. Almost every piece of clothing Cheng Bin wore was selected by her personally. Now there was a different person beside him. Cheng Bin had changed from a pretty boy to a rough man.
Cheng Bin smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Cheng, I have something to ask of you..."
Fang Zhicheng's face immediately darkened, and he asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Bin said softly, "Xiao Hong's brother was arrested a few days ago for committing a crime. You work in the municipal party committee, so you must know a lot of people. How about helping me smooth out the relationship? You may not know that Xiao Hong has been quarreling with me all day and night recently. I am almost driven crazy by her."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head, thinking Cheng Bin was really funny, and whispered: "If you begged me for your sister-in-law's matter, I would definitely help you, but you actually begged me for that woman, do you think I could help you?"
Cheng Bin took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng found that Cheng Bin was indeed living in poverty. The original Qiongjin cigarettes that cost ten yuan a pack had now become Hongmei cigarettes that cost five yuan a pack. He pushed the cigarette over. Cheng Bin retracted his hand and gritted his teeth to promise: "If you are willing to do me this favor, I will go with Yuming to get a divorce certificate tomorrow."
Fang Zhicheng showed a look of disbelief and sighed: "You have said it many times, how can I believe you?"
