Zhao Guoyi could hear the pure heart in Fang Zhicheng's tone, and knew that he was not doing this for his own sake, but for the attitude of being responsible for his work. Fang Zhicheng was like this, flexible in many cases, but difficult to get around sometimes.
Zhao Guoyi said in a deep voice: "Zhicheng, sometimes you have to learn to take detours. This is not a survival skill that should be possessed by officials."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "I can't understand this technique."
After the call ended, Fang Zhicheng stood up, looked at the scenery outside the window, and pondered for a long time...
I haven’t made any noise for a long time, it’s time to do something big!
Chapter 0910: One Secret Scheme After Another
Liang Rui's mood became extremely bad. He had seen many people in the officialdom, but he had never seen a young junior like Fang Zhicheng who didn't know how to advance and retreat. Liang Rui had also heard about Fang Zhicheng's family background, but Liang Rui was well aware of the principles of the officialdom. Although Fang Zhicheng had great potential and a promising future, he had to follow the rules as he was in the system.
Although the office is in charge of guiding funds for the development and transformation of strategic emerging industries, this involves many conflicts of interest and is not something that the office director can decide alone.
Of course, the office director has a lot of power in this matter. Liang Rui considers himself a principled person. It is not that he will definitely take on a project as long as someone finds him, but he treats people differently.
The new energy bus project of Southern Bus Group was a task personally assigned by Vice Governor Xie Xu, and Liang Rui had to do it. Liang Rui had discussed with Fang Zhicheng in advance and wanted to maintain a certain tacit understanding, but he didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng would not give him face at all, which made him, the director, very angry.
Liang Rui is a very good-tempered person in the eyes of his colleagues, but that doesn't mean he never gets angry. He likes to keep his anger to himself and then find other outlets to vent it. He called Xiao Huang from the next office into the room and gave him a bunch of chores. When Xiao Huang left with a sullen face, Liang Rui felt much better. Using subordinates to transfer pressure and vent negative emotions is a method Liang Rui has found out from years of work.
Liang Rui picked up the phone and called Vice Governor Xie Xu. Xie Xu was in a meeting, so the call was first answered by his secretary. He told the secretary that he had something important to talk to Xie Xu about. After Xie Xu finished the meeting, he took the initiative to call Liang Rui.
Xie Xu is a senior governor, having served for seven or eight years. Although he has not been a member of the Standing Committee, he is a man of his word in industry. When Bu Yiren was in office, he did not argue with Xie Xu too much on certain occasions because he was a guy who was not easy to mess with.
Regardless of Xie Xu's personal ability, his father was once a top figure in China's energy system, so the Xie family has close ties with most of China's energy system. With Xie Xu in Huainan, these giant state-owned enterprises in the central government will export resources to Huainan. Everyone has to weigh the interests involved.
The Southern Bus Group is not important. The key is that it involves new energy buses. If you think about it carefully, does it have any close relationship with those state-owned central enterprises
Liang Rui could not find any clues in the project book submitted by Southern Bus Group, but after careful analysis, he could tell that the technical support for Southern Bus Group came from a state-owned central enterprise. So the final destination of this special fund must have flowed to other places.
Of course, Liang Rui doesn't need to care about so many things. He is only responsible for ensuring that the Southern Bus Group gets the funds. As for whether the project funds will be left to the Southern Bus Group, he can turn a blind eye.
He now had to tell Xie Xu about the problem. This could be considered a strategy of killing with a borrowed knife, allowing Xie Xu to deal with the ignorant Fang Zhicheng.
"Governor Xie, I have something I must tell you. There are some problems with the Southern Bus Group project, and Deputy Director Fang Zhicheng disagrees." Liang Rui's tone became extremely hesitant. "He is responsible for organizing the expert group for the strategic emerging industry development guidance funds. If he makes trouble, it will be a headache."
Xie Xu frowned and said unhappily, "Fang Zhicheng? Is he the deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission who is about 30 years old?"
Liang Rui sighed, smiled helplessly and said, "That's right! I have already hinted to him, but he is young and hot-tempered and won't listen to others at all."
Xie Xu sneered and said, "Lao Liang, you disappoint me. You should know why you can be the director of this office."
Liang Rui said quickly: "Of course I know. If it weren't for Governor Xie's words, I wouldn't have been able to earn such a lucrative job. I will control the situation, but I'm still afraid that Fang Zhicheng will do something bad. Fang Zhicheng is Song Wendi's disciple..."
Xie Xu was slightly startled, thinking to himself that Liang Rui was really cunning. He was implicitly telling him that Fang Zhicheng had Song Wendi backing him up.
However, if it was really Song Wendi who intervened in this matter, Xie Xu would really have a headache, because Song Wendi is very influential in Huainan now and has been tacitly regarded as a potential training candidate for the Secretary of the Huainan Provincial Party Committee.
Xie Xu was silent for a long time holding the phone, with a solemn look on his face. He said, "The project will proceed according to the original plan and schedule. As for Fang Zhicheng, I will arrange for someone to communicate with him. The new energy bus project of Southern Bus Group must be included in the planning of strategic emerging industries. It's not that Southern Bus Group lacks this money and will go bankrupt without this money, but it plays an important role in the future strategic layout."
Liang Rui was relieved to see Xie Xu taking over the difficult problem. Although he knew that he seemed a bit procrastinating and irresponsible in front of Xie Xu in dealing with today's problem, Liang Rui was a smart man and he would not easily do something he was not sure of.
After get off work, Liang Rui came to the Southern Hotel on Huaihai Road as promised. This was originally a subsidiary of the Southern Bus Group. In the process of restructuring and listing and divesting negative assets in the past few years, the Southern Hotel was cut out because of its poor performance and then sold to a private person. After being privatized, the Southern Hotel became a famous four-star hotel in Qiongjin, and its development was even better.
As soon as Liang Rui got out of the car, someone came to greet him and said with a smile: "Secretary Liang, you are finally here."
Liang Rui shook hands with him and said with a hearty smile: "Chairman Xu, why are you waiting here in person? I feel a little guilty."
Xu Tengwen, chairman of the Southern Automotive Group, a provincial people's congress representative, and vice chairman of the provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce, was the deputy director of the General Office of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee before taking charge of the Southern Bus Group. Even when he took up the position in the Southern Automotive Group, he was still within the system and was only half a level lower than himself in terms of rank.
Xu Tengwen was not tall and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, he looked like a university professor, gentle and elegant. He walked half a step in front of Liang Rui and led him to the box.
There were already six or seven people in the box, most of them were there to accompany the guests drinking. Liang Rui secretly noticed one of them, who was from China International New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. China International New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd. was established in 2006, and its parent company is China Electric Power Investment Group Co., Ltd.
Liang Rui sighed secretly, as expected, things were not that simple and involved more networks of relationships.
The purpose of a dinner party is usually very clear, but only after three rounds of drinking will people start to speak frankly. Xu Tengwen doesn't drink white wine, so he held a glass of red wine to toast Liang Rui and said with a smile: "Secretary Liang, I'll have to ask you to take care of the special guidance funds for the development of strategic emerging industries."
Liang Rui smiled faintly, hiding the little incident caused by Fang Zhicheng in his heart, and said: "This is something that Governor Xie is concerned about, so how can I not try my best? Besides, you have a big lineup today, and you have also invited the leaders of Huaxia New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd.!"
Xu Tengwen smiled and said, "So please give me some face, Secretary Liang, and help me entertain the guests who have come from afar."
Liang Rui gently pressed Xu Tengwen's shoulder and said with a smile: "We are brothers, why be polite!" After that, he raised his glass and walked towards the executive of China New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd.
Liang Rui also had a rough idea in his mind what the Southern Bus Group was secretly dealing with.
In the officialdom, even if you see through some things, you can't speak them out. The best way is to be an outsider and keep a certain distance from the people at the center of the vortex. Liang Rui is a person who knows how to protect himself, so he didn't ask too many questions.
At the dinner, Xu Tengwen specially arranged several people to accompany him. Nowadays, it is popular to invite celebrities to dinners, so as to improve the level of the dinner. The woman sitting next to Liang Rui is named Chen Ziqing. She has appeared in several TV series. Although she is only a supporting role, she can be regarded as a third-tier star. Chen Ziqing has a clear purpose, which is to serve Liang Rui well today.
After the dinner, they went to the ballroom on the sixth floor of the hotel to dance. Liang Rui was very satisfied with Xu Tengwen's arrangement, especially with Chen Ziqing. Over the years, he had come into contact with many women, but Chen Ziqing exuded a different charm, which made him, who was extremely cautious, fall in love with her.
Sitting in the dim light, Xu Tengwen shook the glass, and the ice cubes hit the cup, making a ding-ding-ding sound. He smiled and said, "Mr. Miao, the PR you brought from Yanjing is pretty good!"
Miao Dewei smiled and said, "The honorary director of our company's administrative department is worthy of her reputation. You don't know how much money I spent to train her. Don't worry, after tonight, Secretary-General Liang will be one of us. Since she is one of us, how can she not contribute to our plan with all her heart and soul?"
Xu Tengwen nodded, knowing that good public relations, like stars, are packaged. Take Chen Ziqing as an example. She entered the film and television industry not for fame, but because the company saw her potential, so they spent a certain amount of money to package her into a star, and then hired her as an employee of the company, thereby improving her public relations hardware.
