Liang Rui was slightly startled. He understood the intention. Wei Qun asked him this not for his opinion, but because he had already made up his mind and was just informing him. Liang Rui smiled and said, "I have heard of Fang Zhicheng. He is a disciple of Song Wendi and the designer of the integration of Qiong and Han. He is a young and talented person with great potential. With him working with me, I can do less work and focus on coordination. However, he is now at the director level. If he wants to move up, I am afraid he needs the approval of the Organization Department."

Wei Qun glanced at Shen Hanchun and guessed that Shen Hanchun had probably already greeted Liang Rui in private, and the surprise on his face was just a deliberate act for him to see.

Wei Qun stood up, turned his gaze to the window, looked at the building opposite, and whispered: "Secretary Wen must have been prepared for Fang Zhicheng's promotion. Fang Zhicheng is not only a key talent cultivated by the Huainan Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, but has also entered the core list of reserve cadres of the Central Organization Department. Preventing such an outstanding cadre from making progress will inevitably give him a reputation for employing people poorly. He will not do that. After all, he is only a deputy department-level official and poses no threat to his personnel power."

Liang Rui and Shen Hanchun sat in the office for a while, while Wei Qun sat at his desk, reviewing documents. It was not easy to be a provincial governor, especially in a province with a large economy and population like Huainan, where one had to be even more cautious. Dealing with various emergencies every day consumed a lot of Wei Qun's energy, and he also had to attend some public events, so he was like a clockwork robot, involuntarily throwing himself into his work.

Still, the feeling is fulfilling, and the feeling of power is more real than when I was at the NDRC.

The landline rang. Wei Qun glanced at the number and answered, "Xiao Zang, what's going on?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Zang Yi, Wei Qun's former right-hand man in the Development and Reform Commission, and now serving as the executive vice mayor of Hanzhou Municipal Government. Wei Qun intended to bring Zang Yi to Qiongjin because he currently lacked capable people. Zang Yi was a young cadre with good execution ability.

Zang Yi reported calmly and forcefully: "Hanzhou has just signed two billion-yuan investment projects. I would like to report to you on the work."

Wei Qun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't think you are here to announce the good news, but to ask me for policy, right?"

Zang Yi paused and said, "I can't hide anything from you, teacher. I have already promised in advance that I will give them land compensation, about thirty acres of land, so I will report it to you in advance."

Wei Qun tapped the handle of the phone with his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "I have seen the investment plans of those two companies before. They are the two largest mobile phone manufacturers in the country. If they can really settle in Hanzhou, it will be extremely beneficial to local employment and tax revenue. However, the land is too much. The integration of Qiong and Han is developing rapidly now, and Hanzhou will soon become a land of great value. It is a bit inappropriate for you to promise so much land."

Zang Yi insisted: "Teacher, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Those two companies came for the land. If we don't give it to them, I'm afraid they will have to invest in other places."

Wei Qun touched his chin and said, "I will let the Department of Land and Resources contact Hanzhou on this matter. The specific amount of land to be provided requires careful consideration by the Hanzhou government. Remember to stay away from the Qiong-Han Metropolitan Integration Experimental Zone as much as possible. The land over there cannot be moved."

Zang Yi understood what Wei Qun meant. For Hanzhou, the most important thing is the Qiong-Han urban integration experimental zone located in Xiaguang. Judging from the current development momentum there, it will become an important economic growth engine for Qiongjin and Hanzhou in the future. Now it not only attracts the gathering of wealthy people from Qiongjin and Hanzhou, but also people from other provinces come here to invest and purchase properties in the Qiong-Han urban integration experimental zone.

Wei Qun suddenly remembered something and reminded him in a deep voice: "Xiao Zang, temporary gains and losses are not important. The key is to adjust your mentality in time."

Zang Yi was slightly stunned, with an embarrassed look on his face. Wei Qun said it tactfully, and he knew that he was referring to losing to Fang Zhicheng in the economic strategy game. Now Hanzhou's information industry base is developing very well, especially Sky Supermarket Network has firmly taken the second place in the field of e-commerce, and has continuously begun to attack the leader and is favored by capital.

Zang Yi sighed and said, "Governor Wei, please rest assured that I will not be defeated easily."

Wei Qun shook his head and patiently advised: "I know you can stand up, but I also know you are very proud. The industrial manufacturing field has reached a critical point. The next step is to start transformation. You need to adjust your direction."

Zang Yi knew that Wei Qun reminded him to adjust Hanzhou's economic and industrial structure in a timely manner and transform it into the information industry. Wei Qun knew himself very well, and Zang Yi was very proud. He could admit defeat, but he would not be so despicable as to follow the ideas of the person who defeated him.

However, Wei Qun's words woke Zang Yi up. Since he knew that the direction was wrong, why not adjust it? Making a mistake once is not terrible, but making the same mistake again and again is terrible.

After hanging up Zang Yi's phone, Wei Qun shook his head helplessly. He admired Zang Yi, a young man, and took good care of him when he was in the Development and Reform Commission. Not only because Zang Yi's uncle was the seventh head, but also because Zang Yi was an ambitious and capable person.

However, Zang Yi suffered a setback in Hanzhou. He was defeated in the matchup with Fang Zhicheng, which was fatal. Although Hanzhou's industrial manufacturing has a clear upward trend, this method of forcing things to grow will not last long. Hanzhou has no foundation for industrial manufacturing, nor does it have the potential for industrial manufacturing. The rigid delivery of resources to the city will not only destroy its original industrial structure, but will also cause problems one day and make it difficult to sustain. If Zang Yi leaves Hanzhou one day, then Hanzhou's industrial manufacturing will completely turn a corner.

Zang Yi's failure will be recorded in the history books, and may even affect his career more than a decade later. In terms of the foresight of economic strategy, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee may comment on it, believing that Zang Yi does not have sufficient ability in this area.

The reason why the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee issued a "list of 100 people" internally was actually to imitate the ancient practice of "raising poisonous insects to select generals."

What is raising Gu and selecting generals? It means putting outstanding talents in one area, letting them compete and fight each other. Once the Gu worms fail, they will become the delicious food in the stomach of the winning Gu worms. Over time, the ones who stand out among the Gu worms will become the generals and kings in the group.

Although society seems peaceful, the sword and blood have never disappeared.

Zang Yi unknowingly became Fang Zhicheng's whetstone and stepping stone in his selection of generals, which meant that Zang Yi would always be suppressed by Fang Zhicheng among the reserve cadres of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

Wei Qun was a little envious of Song Wendi at this moment. Zang Yi was nominally his disciple, but in the competition between disciples, he had lost a move.

Chapter 0867 Lou Yao's Other Identity

After the decoration of the villa with beautiful lake and mountains was completed, Song Wendi held a small banquet and invited colleagues and friends to gather in the villa.

The Lake and Mountain Villas are located in the western suburbs of Xiaguang District, more than ten kilometers away from the city center. The villas were once arranged in a ring, surrounding the central artificial landscape lake. These villas are all gray and white pastoral style, with unique shapes, but the decoration style of Song Wendi's home has a fashionable feel, with a milky white tone, European furniture and lighting, and oil paintings on the walls, which makes people feel surprised.

This is definitely not Song Wendi's style. Wenfeng must have put a lot of thought into it.

Fang Zhicheng arrived early, and seeing that the nanny Xiaoyan couldn't handle it alone, he tied an apron and went to the kitchen to cook. Xiaoyan knew that Fang Zhicheng was a good cook, so she smiled and helped him.

When Fang Zhicheng was with Xiaoyan, he never treated her as a nanny, because he knew that Xiaoyan was one of Song Wendi's most trusted people. Otherwise, there would not have been a change of nanny for so many years. Every time Fang Zhicheng visited Song Wendi's home, he would give Xiaoyan something. Today was no exception. He gave her some foreign perfume that Shen Wei sent from Switzerland.

Xiaoyan sneaked out for a while, and when she returned to the kitchen, she smelled a fragrance. Perfume is very common in foreign countries, not only women but also men use it, because foreigners have well-developed sweat glands and strong odor. The strong perfume sprayed on Xiaoyan's body was a bit pungent, causing Fang Zhicheng to sneeze several times, making Xiaoyan mistakenly think that Fang Zhicheng had a cold, and quickly made a pack of cold granules for Fang Zhicheng to prevent it.

Fang Zhicheng did not refuse and drank it all in one gulp. Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile: "I heard that you are married. When can you bring your sister-in-law here so that I can meet her?"

Fang Zhicheng shrugged, waved the spatula, and said, "It's just that your sister-in-law is very cute, just don't scare her when the time comes."

Xiaoyan pouted and said, "Don't lie to me. I asked President Wen, and my sister-in-law is very beautiful, like a fairy."

Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Fairy? That's a bit exaggerated. It seems that Master's wife can also brag."

Xiaoyan shook her head and said helplessly: "You are being dishonest again. You are already married, but you are still so playful. It's really annoying."

Xiaoyan was slowly slicing radish slices. Seeing that she was a little distracted, Fang Zhicheng joked, "I heard from Master that you found a boyfriend some time ago?"

Xiaoyan put down the kitchen knife and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't mention it. My family arranged a blind date for me. I met him once and we didn't keep in touch. The rest is fine, but he's too sloppy, smells bad, as if he hasn't showered for a few days, and has a mouthful of yellow teeth. It's disgusting."

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Your family is too anxious. In my opinion, you should find someone from the city to marry."

Xiaoyan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "I dare not think about it. I have never been to school, and the people in the city will look down on me."

Fang Zhicheng encouraged him, "Don't think like that. In my opinion, you are a very good girl, pure and kind. Also, don't underestimate yourself. You are a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. If they really want to find a partner for you, there will definitely be many people chasing after you. I'm afraid you will find it troublesome by then."
