Xue Fulian waited until Deng Chaoping finished speaking, and was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood. If they really went to check Provincial Highway 271, the entire Caoyao City Development and Reform Commission would be in trouble. What was Fang Zhicheng doing? He actually let the wolf into the house and specifically attacked the weak point.
Xue Fulian recalled that he had just passed by Fang Zhicheng's office and saw his secretary. He realized that he had deliberately made this matter extremely secretive in order to catch the Caoyao Municipal Development and Reform Commission system off guard.
Xue Fulian couldn't think of any remedial measures for the time being, so he could only whisper, "Arrange a convoy immediately, and we will go to Baishan City together. At the same time, you must tell the people in Baishan City to hold Director Chu back and never let him leave."
Xue Fulian secretly thought that if he could meet with Chu Shiyuan, he might be able to control the situation, but if Chu Shiyuan went back to Qiongjin directly, the problem would be intensified, and the next team would not be a research team, but a supervisory team.
Reality made Xue Fulian realize that Qu Kang's reminder was correct. Fang Zhicheng was no pushover. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission came to Caoyao for research not to inject vitality into the development of Caoyao City, but just to cheer for Fang Zhicheng.
The problem of Provincial Highway 271 has always been a problem that Xue Fulian has been trying to solve. The construction party encountered an accident during the construction process, resulting in a large number of casualties. The construction party has long disappeared in order to avoid paying huge compensation. The families of the casualties can only go to the government to ask for an explanation. Since the government is also unable to solve the problem, the families of the casualties have banned the construction of the road section.
According to the relevant requirements of the Development and Reform Commission, if the Provincial Highway 271 project is not completed on schedule, it will affect the application of other projects. So when Xue Fulian handled this matter, he asked the Municipal Development and Reform Commission to submit false information, claiming that this section of the road had been completed. When the review team came to inspect later, Cao Yao also concealed some information and only allowed the review team to inspect the repaired section of the road, deliberately bypassing the section where construction was suspended, and created the illusion that the road was open to traffic normally.
This kind of method is not uncommon in local areas, and the provincial government also turns a blind eye. But if it is really exposed, I am afraid it will not end well.
Chapter 0943 Who is the real protagonist
In the meeting room of the Baishan Municipal Party Committee, smoke was curling up. The meeting, which was supposed to end in about an hour, was dragged to two or three hours. Although Chu Shiyuan knew that the other party was deliberately prolonging the time, he still did not roll up his sleeves and leave, but smoked several cigarettes in a row.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Xue Fulian strode in. Chu Shiyuan stood up and shook hands with him. Xue Fulian trotted all the way in, panting and said, "Director Chu, welcome to Caoyao."
Chu Siyuan waved his hand and smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare in advance. However, if we really always follow the established process for research, it will lose its meaning. Doing this will make it easier to see the truth."
Xue Fulian's face flushed, knowing what Chu Shiyuan was hinting at. He glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Mayor Fang, why didn't you remind us? It would be good for the city to be prepared! The province issued a survey notice before, and the whole city was very concerned. Mayor Qu also said that he would personally receive Director Chu."
Xue Fulian's words seemed to be just casual chat between colleagues, but in fact he was blaming himself and did not take his own position into consideration.
Fang Zhicheng retorted bluntly and said with a smile: "Mayor Xue, Director Chu and I are old colleagues. He is going to visit Cao Yao. I also think that since I am in charge of the Development and Reform Commission, I should also understand the first-hand information of the grassroots. You don't need to be too nervous. Generally speaking, Director Chu is quite satisfied with Cao Yao's situation."
Chu Shiyuan smelled the smoke of gunpowder between the two and said lightly: "Research is originally a very serious but also simple matter. I don't mind the reception work on the scene. As Zhicheng said, he and I are old colleagues and good friends. He accompanied me to the grassroots research, which was much more comfortable than other people receiving me."
Xue Fulian then discovered that the two men's bodies were covered with mud and water marks. He thought to himself that these two people were really good at putting on a show, wanting to prank themselves and putting on such makeup.
Xue Fulian still did his best to show his sincerity and said with a smile: "Baishan has already made arrangements. Director Chu, please go to the hotel to rest first. We can have a simple meal together in the evening and talk about Cao Yao's specific situation."
Chu Shiyuan waved his hand and said decisively: "No need to eat. I just received a notice from Governor Guoyi that I have to accompany him to attend a foreign business meeting tomorrow, so I will return to Qiongjin directly. Although I only have half a day, I have almost understood Cao Yao's situation. If there is anything else you want to know, I can ask Zhicheng directly."
Xue Fulian's face immediately turned ugly when he heard what Chu Shiyuan said. He was the deputy mayor in charge of the Development and Reform Commission system, and Fang Zhicheng was just a temporary official and assistant. Chu Shiyuan made it clear in public that he learned about the situation of Caoyao City Development and Reform Commission through Fang Zhicheng, which was equivalent to showing his support for his position in charge of Caoyao Development and Reform Commission system. If it was heard by the Standing Committee members, it would undoubtedly ignite a fire.
Xue Fulian suddenly felt that Qu Kang's reminder was a little too late.
There was no need for Qu Kang to take the initiative to offer the National Development and Reform Commission, the power hub, to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng used his personal connections in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission to come and take it in person.
Moreover, Fang Zhicheng not only took over the Development and Reform Commission in a fair and just manner, but also laid the groundwork, providing strong conditions for the later sorting out of Cao Yao's development and reform system.
The problem of the Baishan section of Provincial Highway 271 was the fuse. After Chu Shiyuan returned to Qiongjin, the inspection team would come to Caoyao to investigate, and then a group of responsible persons would be punished. Fang Zhicheng would then add his own troops at the right time, which was a natural result.
Xue Fulian felt that there was nothing he could do to save the situation. Originally, Fang Zhicheng was a cadre on secondment, and even if he had a backer, it would not affect his control over the Development and Reform Commission. But now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was a sense of loosening both from Qu Kang and from the grassroots.
On the surface, it seemed that Xue Fulian asked the Baishan City personnel to detain Chu Shiyuan and Fang Zhicheng so that he could meet with them. But a deeper analysis would reveal that Chu Shiyuan deliberately waited for Xue Fulian so that he could give him a head-on blow.
The brief exchange between Xue Fulian and Chu Shiyuan may seem like nothing much, but those who are interested can already guess the inner meaning.
Chu Siyuan didn't even change his clothes before getting back into the Honda car that brought him here.
Sitting in the back row, Chu Siwon smiled and said, "My performance was okay, wasn't it?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "The aura is good, it intimidated those people."
Chu Shiyuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said, "I know Xue Fulian. He is good at business and has a good relationship with Old Shen. Old Shen has praised Cao Yao's work in the Development and Reform Commission many times. I am afraid that I will annoy him if I deliberately find fault with him this time."
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly and pointed out: "Old Chu, what can he do if you anger him? He is not like you, who went deep into the grassroots to investigate and ended up in such a mess?"
"Nothing can escape your calculations." Chu Shiyuan sighed, "Old Shen, your overall thinking over the past year was correct, but you were too suspicious. Several deputy directors were quite dissatisfied with him."
Fang Zhicheng had also heard about this and said with a smile, "Old Shen is a genius, but geniuses usually have shortcomings."
Chu Shiyuan waved his hand and said with a half-smile: "A genius with flaws, wouldn't it leave flaws and weaknesses for others in the officialdom?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that Chu Shiyuan had already made some plans. The circle of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission was very deep. He had no intention of worrying about it now. He said, "Be careful in everything. Judging from Governor Wei's recent dynamics, he seems to have a lot of ideas."
Chu Shiyuan whispered: "Governor Guoyi is preparing to go to the central government. Governor Wei can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
As early as two years ago, Zhao Guoyi had been thinking about going to the central government, but the political situation was too unstable at the time, and he might have become cannon fodder. Now that the relationship between factions in the central government has basically stabilized, Zhao Guoyi's choice to go to a ministry for gilding his reputation is a good choice.
His old leader Bu Yiren has now been transferred from the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission to the Ministry of Commerce as the Minister of Commerce. It is reasonable for Zhao Guoyi to go to the Ministry of Commerce to support Bu Yiren.
However, if Zhao Guoyi leaves Huainan, Song Wendi will lose a powerful ally. At that time, under the dual pressure of Wen Jinglong and Wei Qun, his space for activities will be severely restricted.
Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but worry about Song Wendi, and he also understood why Song Wendi sent him to Huainan.
Song Wendi hopes that the Su faction will pay more attention to Huainan. Even though it has become the world of the northern faction, they must not give up. After all, looking at the more than 30 ministerial provinces and cities in the country, Huainan will always be one of the biggest pieces of the pie.
…
The news from Baishan City spread quickly, and was also exaggerated, turning into various versions. Many of them added plots, such as Chu Shiyuan met petitioners on the Baishan section of Provincial Highway 271, and those people were the families of the victims. Chu Shiyuan felt very sad, so after arriving in Baishan City, he scolded the secretary of the Baishan Municipal Party Committee.
Public opinion was still in favor of Chu Shiyuan, portraying him as a good cadre who was dedicated to serving the people.
