After he finished speaking, he announced the end of the meeting, picked up the notebooks and pens on the table, and slowly walked out of the meeting room. Cao Cen followed closely behind him, half a step behind, walking beside him.
Cao Cen whispered, "It's surprising that Chu Shiyuan and Fang Zhicheng are together. The Development and Reform Commission will be complicated in the future."
Shen Hanchun's facial expression was very serious, and he frowned tightly. He said lightly: "The two bosses are in the honeymoon period now, so it is natural for them to get closer."
Cao Cen reminded, "Don't let it develop, otherwise, there will be some problems. Chu Shiyuan doesn't need to worry too much, but Fang Zhicheng's potential cannot be underestimated. At the meeting today, his point of view, although it exaggerated e-commerce, is indeed a good idea in terms of the current situation. If you can't keep such a person, then send him on his way."
Shen Hanchun shook his head and said, "This is an uncertain factor. As for whether he will leave or not, we have to discuss it again."
Fang Zhicheng and Chu Shiyuan walked side by side, and their alliance was no longer a secret, so there was no need to hide it.
Now the Development and Reform Commission is divided into three forces. The first is headed by Shen Hanchun, the second is headed by Ni Mingyang, and the third is Fang Zhicheng and Chu Shiyuan.
Fang Zhicheng entered Chu Shiyuan's office. The secretary brought him tea. Chu Shiyuan took a sip of tea, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Director Shen's performance at the meeting today, did you feel surprised?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "People can change. I've had a lot of contact with Shen Hanchun, and I originally thought he was open-minded enough, but after getting to know him for a long time, I found that he still has his narrow-mindedness."
Chu Shiyuan analyzed: "When a person reaches a certain position, his behavior will be affected by interests. It is undeniable that Shen Hanchun was once a genius, but he has been neglected for many years after all, and he has accumulated too much desire for power in his heart. You and I are walking together now, which threatens him, so he is cautious."
The officialdom is so unpredictable. The moment before, Fang Zhicheng was getting along well with Shen Hanchun and was incompatible with Chu Shiyuan. But now it was completely the opposite. He stood on the opposite side of Shen Hanchun and had a long talk with Chu Shiyuan.
Fang Zhicheng looked at Chu Shiyuan's office. There were not many decorations. It could be seen that Chu Shiyuan did not have many pursuits. In a sense, he and Zhao Guoyi were similar people. They had high material requirements and would be crazy when they were devoted to work. It was because of his management that Jiang Yong was able to make various reforms in the Development and Reform Commission and the Development and Reform Commission could ensure that the overall situation remained unchanged.
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "Officials across the province are now immersed in an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, believing that Huainan is in an absolute leading position among more than 30 provinces, but in fact it lacks something compared to Zheyuan, Nanyue, Yanjing, and Yunhai. Society is developing and changing, and Huainan is in a leading position because of its good foundation and superior geographical location. But no one knows what will happen in the future, and Huainan must be injected with vitality."
Chu Shiyuan looked at Fang Zhicheng and couldn't help but think of himself more than ten years ago. At that time, he was also full of passion. After entering the Development and Reform Commission, he wanted to make a big splash. But unknowingly, he had lost his enthusiasm and worked like a machine.
Chu Shiyuan said with emotion: "It's really good to be young. You are actually the source of Huainan's vitality. Don't worry, I will support your idea. As for Director Shen, I will also take the initiative to communicate with him. I know Old Shen. He will never make mistakes on principled issues."
If Chu Shiyuan took the initiative to discuss with Shen Hanchun, the problem could still be solved, but Fang Zhicheng knew that he and Shen Hanchun would drift further and further apart. Fang Zhicheng was still somewhat grateful to the wrinkled Director Shen. After all, if it weren't for him, his path to the Development and Reform Commission would never have been so easy.
It is always so difficult to distinguish between friends and enemies in officialdom.
Chapter 0903 This Invisible War
Zhao Ning returned to the army, and at the end of the year, the army also needed her to handle some affairs. After Zhao Ning got married, the organization transferred her original job. Now she no longer needs to be involved in dangerous work on the front line, and mainly handles personnel management and dispatch. Fang Zhicheng did not ask what level Zhao Ning is now and what affairs she is responsible for, because he knew that even if he took the initiative to ask her, she would at most roll her eyes at him because of the confidentiality system.
At the end of the year, there were more gatherings. Many people invited Fang Zhicheng to various dinners, but he refused them one by one. Because he knew that these dinners were for a purpose. It is better to keep a certain distance from the company.
However, there are some dinners that you must attend, because these dinners are related to your future and the expansion of your interpersonal network.
Recently, Wen Jinglong emphasized at a meeting the need to build a thrifty government, so government official dining has been simplified and is more often served in government canteens.
The food at the provincial government was naturally good, and there was a small canteen that was specially set up for the leaders. According to Fang Zhicheng's level, he usually did not have the opportunity to have a special meal, unless he was entertaining special cadres. When he was about to get off work in the evening, Zhao Guoyi called and informed him to have lunch together. When he came to the private room, he found a man in his fifties sitting next to Zhao Guoyi. He was a little fat, but he looked very energetic.
Zhao Guoyi waved to Fang Zhicheng and introduced him with a smile: "My old classmate Xu Jiaxin, now the director of the Second Cadre Bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee."
The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee has several departments, among which the first, second, third and fourth bureaus are responsible for personnel transfers. Bureau Two has the most power. Normally, the director of Bureau Two also serves as a member of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and is a deputy ministerial-level cadre. Bureau Two is also known as the Party and Government and Foreign Affairs Cadres Bureau, which is responsible for all provincial and ministerial-level party and government cadres and foreign affairs cadres across the country.
Fang Zhicheng quickly greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Director Xu!"
Xu Jiaxin looked Fang Zhicheng up and down and said with a smile: "You are Fang Zhicheng, right? Although this is the first time we meet, I often see your name in some information, and you are younger than I thought. Guoyi, I have known him for decades, and I know him very well. This is the first time he has recommended a young person to me. Compared with Wang Guoyue and Liao Xuan, you are not bad!"
Wang Guoyue and Liao Xuan are both talented people on the youth list. Comparing Fang Zhicheng with them has fully demonstrated how much Xu Jiaxin values him.
After some pleasantries, the waiter started serving the dishes. Although it was a canteen, the dishes in the small kitchen were of five-star quality. Xu Jiaxin was quite talkative and drank happily with Zhao Guoyi, while Fang Zhicheng poured wine for the two of them. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
In front of Fang Zhicheng, the two did not shy away from talking, and Xu Jiaxin vaguely revealed the purpose of his visit to Huainan. The Party Central Committee had just experienced a silent storm, in which many senior officials were implicated, so key seats were vacated. In order to ensure the normal operation of various central departments, the Organization Department arranged for various bureaus to organize people to go to local areas to select cadres.
Xu Jiaxin came to Huainan and took the initiative to meet his old classmate Zhao Guoyi, with the clear purpose of throwing this news to Zhao Guoyi. With Zhao Guoyi's identity and qualifications, this is a good opportunity.
However, from Zhao Guoyi's words, it can be seen that he is not too eager to develop in the central government. Fang Zhicheng observed and analyzed from the side and concluded that the central government is in a mess now. The Organization Department is hastily appointing people. If they really go to the central government, they may become cannon fodder for the change of leadership, and their future is uncertain.
Regarding work matters, Xu Jiaxin only touched upon the subject and then talked about the friendship they had with their classmates.
Many officials call each other classmates. For example, if they study in the same training class at the Party School, they are called classmates. But the friendship between Zhao Guoyi and Xu Jiaxin obviously goes beyond that. They are college classmates and early students of Shuimu University after the college entrance examination was resumed.
People of their generation are now making waves in various fields. After a few drinks, both of them were a little drunk. Xu Jiaxin asked with a smile: "Is Qiao Ran still in touch with you?"
Zhao Guoyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why did she contact me?"
Xu Jiaxin said unhappily, "She pursued you all the time, but you rejected her. Then she got married and divorced."
Zhao Guoyi exhaled a breath of alcohol and said unhappily: "Don't you like her? Don't push it to me!"
Xu Jiaxin shook his head helplessly and said, "We are both half dead. I have seen many women over the years, but why can't I forget her? Guoyi, I know, if it wasn't for me, I'm afraid you would have been with her a long time ago, right?"
Zhao Guoyi shook his head and said, "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
Xu Jiaxin patted Zhao Guoyi on the shoulder and whispered, "Of course!"
Zhao Guoyi smiled and said, "At most, I will have a romantic encounter with Qiao Ran, but we will never get married."
Xu Jiaxin pushed Zhao Guoyi hard and cursed, "Fuck you!"
Zhao Guoyi laughed and said, "Continue drinking and saying dirty words. This is the Xu Jiaxin I know."
Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly as he watched from the side. He obviously didn't expect that this deputy ministerial level leader would show such true nature. Perhaps it was because of the years of tempering in the officialdom that made them too conceal their inner feelings. When they vented their emotions, it would be like a raging flood, which could not be controlled.
