Li Hui was indeed a little thirsty. She unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, then whispered, "Two companies introduced themselves just now. The project amounts are not small, both exceeding 100 million yuan. It seems that the provincial government has spent a lot of energy this time. Our trip was not in vain."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and shook his head, "You are wrong."
"Oh?" Li Hui naturally didn't know what she did wrong, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "The other projects are just for show. It is very likely that they are created by the provincial government to facilitate the Qi Group's entry into Huainan. Most of these projects have been negotiated long ago and are now displayed. In fact, the internal investment agreement has already been signed."
Li Hui nodded, thinking that Fang Zhicheng's observation and judgment were decisive and sharp, and said with a smile: "I almost got cheated."
Li Hui had attended this kind of investment promotion theme meeting many times, and she had never thought that there were so many tricks in it. On the other hand, Fang Zhicheng had just taken office as the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, but he was very shrewd and pointed out all the mysteries in one sentence.
After the meeting, Fang Zhicheng was attracted by a figure. He told Li Hui to go first and wait for him outside, and then followed the figure for a while. There were thousands of people in the venue, and it took several minutes to get out. Suddenly, the figure was bumped, and the folder in his hand fell to the ground, and various pieces of paper flew and spread on the ground.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Fang Zhicheng apologized while bending down to help the other party pack up the documents.
The other person adjusted the black-framed glasses on his nose, secretly looked up at Fang Zhicheng, and saw that his face was full of guilt. He shrugged and said in a thick Nanyue Mandarin, "There are too many people. It doesn't matter."
As the two of them were cleaning up the scattered papers on the ground, everyone else went to another exit. Only when everyone in the venue had left did Fang Zhicheng help the other party pick up all the materials. He stared at the other party carefully for a while, took a breath, and asked in confusion: "I seem to have seen you somewhere."
The other person brushed his bangs lightly, his eyes slightly confused, and smiled: "You may have recognized the wrong person." I thought to myself, this young man's way of getting close to girls is too cheap. Are the methods used by mainland men to pursue girls so vulgar
Fang Zhicheng shook his finger, a solemn look on his face. Suddenly, he patted his forehead and said with sudden realization: "By the way, we met in the small conference room yesterday. You seem to be the representative of Qi Group."
The other party originally thought that Fang Zhicheng was deliberately trying to make friends with her, but after this reminder, she had some impression in her mind, and said, "Oh, oh," with a beautiful curve at the corner of her mouth, "I remember. We have indeed met."
Seeing that Qi Yu finally remembered him, Fang Zhicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the conflict just now, including bumping into Qi Yu and knocking the documents out of her hands, was all set up by Fang Zhicheng. Everything was to create a scene of a sudden encounter with Qi Yu.
Since Fang Zhicheng knew that Qi Yu was the key to the Qi Group this time, he naturally tried his best to establish a relationship with Qi Yu. After entering the meeting site, he had been looking for Qi Yu, because according to his understanding of the Qi Group, he would definitely investigate other companies participating in the meeting.
As expected, Fang Zhicheng found Qi Yu in a very hidden corner, and then deliberately followed Qi Yu when the meeting was over. Taking advantage of the crowd, he pulled Qi Yu's arm with his hand, causing the folder to fall to the ground. Then he stepped forward to help apologize, and finally threw out the suspense that they had met before. Everything was so natural.
Although Fang Zhicheng's acting skills are very good, he still underestimated the vigilance of the third-generation heir of the Qi Group. Qi Yu was taught from a young age to be wary of everyone, because her life experience determined that everyone around her approached her with a purpose. Especially for a man like Fang Zhicheng who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Qi Yu's vigilance was even more serious.
She nodded politely to Fang Zhicheng, then stopped communicating with him and quickly left the venue.
Fang Zhicheng was originally planning to say a few more words to Qi Yu, but he didn't expect Qi Yu to see him as if he had seen a big bad wolf and quickly slipped away. He could only sigh depressedly and reflect secretly, wondering if he had been exposed somewhere.
After leaving the conference hall, he met up with Li Hui. The two of them hailed a taxi back to the Dongtai Office Building in Hainan, picked up a Jetta, and then returned to Dongtai County.
After returning to China Merchants, Fang Zhicheng made a surprise attack and deliberately investigated the working atmosphere of the office. The result satisfied Fang Zhicheng very much. All the employees in all departments did not make any excessive actions. It can be seen that Fang Zhicheng's first fire after taking office was still well done.
After returning to the office, before he had even warmed up his chair, the phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the county magistrate's office, informing Fang Zhicheng to go to the county magistrate Sun Weiming's place to attend a meeting.
Arriving at the county magistrate's office, Fang Zhicheng discovered that in addition to Sun Weiming, there was another familiar person, his neighbor Qi Yun in the guesthouse. Qi Yun's expression was very cold, as if she didn't know Fang Zhicheng. Sun Weiming was very easy-going, waved his hand, pointed at the sofa and said lightly: "Xiao Fang, please sit down first, wait for me to finish reviewing these two documents."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the sofa and chose to sit on the left side of Qi Yun. Then Sun Weiming signed and sat down in front of the door with a smile. He said calmly, "Because I went out for an inspection some time ago, I was unable to welcome Comrade Fang Zhicheng to join our Dongtai County Government in time. Today, on the one hand, I want to meet with Comrade Zhicheng and discuss the future work plan in detail. On the other hand, I also want to inform the county magistrate of the decision of the work meeting and arrange for Comrade Qi Yun to be in charge of the relevant work of the Investment Promotion Bureau in the future."
Qi Yun looked at Fang Zhicheng and nodded, indicating that she agreed with Sun Weiming's explanation.
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that it was just as he expected. The government team had undergone a major reshuffle. Qi Yun successfully rushed up and said with a smile: "I hope County Magistrate Qi will pay more attention to the development of the Merchants Group in the future."
Sun Weiming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Comrade Qi Yun is a famous heroine of our Dongtai County Government. Having such a supervisor is a good thing for you, but it is also a great pressure."
Qi Yun's expression remained calm as she said in a formal manner, "Please rest assured, County Magistrate Weiming, I will definitely improve Dongtai's investment promotion work."
Sun Weiming nodded and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Qi, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders now, so go out and do your work first. I still have something to discuss with Comrade Zhicheng."
Qi Yun hummed and looked at Fang Zhicheng with complicated eyes. It was normal for her to have doubts, because in the officialdom, it has always been emphasized that conversations should not be skipped. Sun Weiming kicked Qi Yun away and talked to Fang Zhicheng alone, which obviously made Qi Yun feel uncomfortable.
After Qi Yun left, Sun Weiming stood up, took out a cigarette box from the drawer, and handed a cigarette to Fang Zhicheng, smiling faintly: "I know you smoke, so don't refuse." Sun Weiming and Fang Zhicheng had met several times. As the chief secretary, Fang Zhicheng often conducted research and inspections beside Song Wendi, and would also attend major meetings. He knew the main leaders of the counties and districts below.
However, Sun Weiming and Fang Zhicheng did not have a close relationship, and they had never even exchanged a single word.
Fang Zhicheng took the cigarette, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it for Sun Weiming, while wondering what Sun Weiming was up to.
Chapter 0184 The temple is small and the demon wind is strong
Fang Zhicheng once studied Sun Weiming's resume. He retired from the army in the late 1990s and then spent ten years slowly growing into the second-in-command of Dongtai County. According to normal logic, veterans would generally be placed in a relatively idle government office after they retire, but Sun Weiming relied on his outstanding ability and political achievements to gain his current position.
Sun Weiming is about 1.75 meters tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows and bright eyes. His every move and gesture exudes the special aura of a soldier. His attitude seems humble, but Fang Zhicheng feels pressured and actually smells a sense of danger from Sun Weiming.
Sun Weiming's eyes are very special. Someone once said that there is a big difference between the eyes of a person who has killed someone and the eyes of a person who has not killed anyone. Sun Weiming's eyes make people think that this person must have killed someone, and more than one.
Sun Weiming has been the county magistrate of Dongtai County for five or six years, and has been working with Qian Dechen. Qian Dechen is an old hand, and Sun Weiming can be on par with him, which shows that his political wisdom should not be underestimated.
The two smoked half a cigarette in silence. Sun Weiming spoke and said with a faint smile: "Comrade Zhicheng, you should have met Lao Qian, right?"
Fang Zhicheng didn't know what Sun Weiming meant by that, so he nodded and said truthfully: "I met him once at the investment promotion conference in Qiongjin..."
Sun Weiming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "He seems very dissatisfied with you." After that, he flicked the ash with his fingers, and the fiery red cigarette butt lit up, which looked very seductive in Fang Zhicheng's eyes.
Fang Zhicheng finally realized why Sun Weiming had discussed with him in private. On the one hand, he was hinting at his control over Dongtai County and that no small details could escape his eyes. On the other hand, he was reminding Fang Zhicheng that if he wanted to compete with Qian Dechen, he needed to stand on the same camp with him.
Sun Weiming threw out a bait, hoping that Fang Zhicheng would recognize the current situation and stand on the same side as him, so that Fang Zhicheng could be protected from Qian Dechen's suppression.
Sun Weiming stood up and took out a notebook. This was the record he made at the secretary's meeting today. "Secretary Qian gave three instructions on Dongtai County's investment promotion work at the meeting. The first is to carry out large projects, build projects with high standards, strict requirements and high quality, and create a strong atmosphere of large-scale project construction throughout the county. The second is to make project construction the top priority of current work, and tilt funds, manpower and incentive mechanisms towards projects, so as to truly form a situation in which the whole county attracts investment and projects to judge heroes, and relies on achievements and abilities. The third is to assign project responsibilities to individuals, assign them to each person according to their priorities, and evaluate them according to success or failure, so as to strive for a major breakthrough by the end of the year."
Fang Zhicheng thought that Qian Dechen might have been inspired by something at the special meeting of the Qiongjin Investment Promotion Conference. After returning, he immediately used his power as the top leader to convene a meeting of secretaries to put pressure on the county government and at the same time reach out to government work. This aroused Sun Weiming's vigilance, so he hurriedly called Qi Yun, who was in charge of investment promotion, to his office for discussion, and also had a detailed discussion with himself, the newly appointed director of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
