Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Shouldn't it be a very happy thing to receive roses?"

Qi Yun shook her head and sighed, "Don't come up with such bad ideas in the future."

Fang Zhicheng hummed and said slowly, "Pay attention to Sun Weiming in the near future. He may be alert. Zou Yu has a close relationship with Sun Weiming. She did that last night, most likely under Sun Weiming's instruction."

Qi Yunyu tapped the table twice with her fingers and said calmly, "I know Sun Weiming very well. If he wants to take action, he will definitely hit the weak spot. He won't use unpresentable means like he did last night. However, Zou Yu, this woman, will definitely not be able to stay in the Merchants Group."

"Oh? What do you think?" Fang Zhicheng knew that Qi Yun must have some plans, which was why she said that.

Qi Yun whispered, "I have talked with Sun Weiming several times before. Zou Yu seems to want to work in the county government office. We might as well help her..."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. County Magistrate Qi has to coordinate it." Fang Zhicheng was very willing to transfer Zou Yu from the Merchants Group. After all, Zou Yu had a special identity and could become a time bomb at any time if he was lurking around. What happened last night was a good example.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yun called the Organization and Personnel Department of the county government. The Organization and Personnel Department and the Investment Promotion Bureau are both departments that Qi Yun is in charge of. As long as Zou Yu agrees, things will be easy. As for Sun Weiming, Qi Yun also has instructions. She arranged a position at the section level for Zou Yu and promoted him so that Sun Weiming would not object.

Qi Yun could also guess the reason why Sun Weiming had been reluctant to promote Zou Yu. On the one hand, he hoped that Zou Yu would lurk in the Merchants Group and secretly monitor Fang Zhicheng. On the other hand, he was afraid of what people would say. He had just taken office as the county party secretary and if he promoted his mistress, he would inevitably be criticized.

If Qi Yun took advantage of the situation and helped Zou Yu solve the problem of entering the county government office, Sun Weiming should not object, and would even think that Qi Yun was secretly helping him.

After thinking everything through, Qi Yun called Sun Weiming and said softly, "Secretary Weiming, I have something to report to you."

Sun Weiming had just had a phone conversation with Zou Yu, who exaggerated what happened last night and concluded that Qi Yun and Fang Zhicheng had a close relationship, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that he could prevent the family conflict between Cao Zhang and Qi Yun? Sun Weiming was skeptical at first, but when he heard that Cao Zhang had sent flowers to apologize, he felt relieved and thought that Zou Yu was just fooling around.

Sun Weiming smiled solemnly and said, "County Magistrate Qi, if you have anything to say, just tell me, whether it's work or life..."

Qi Yun frowned slightly, knowing that Sun Weiming might know what happened last night. After thinking for a while, she smiled faintly and said, "Thank you Secretary Weiming for your concern. What I want to report to you is about the personnel adjustment of the county government office."

"Oh? You can just communicate with County Mayor Ji Ke about the matter of the County Government Office." Sun Weiming said while taking a step back to advance.

Qi Yun smiled and sighed, "I'm afraid I still need your help from behind at this time. I'm afraid that County Magistrate Ji Ke will not agree easily."

Sun Weiming pondered for a moment and said, "What exactly is it? Tell me."

Qi Yun said slowly, "Just now the personnel department of the county government reported that the office has been short of staff, especially lacking a deputy director to take charge. This matter has been delayed for several months. I think it can't be delayed any longer. So I considered a candidate, that is Comrade Zou Yu, deputy director of the Investment Promotion Bureau."

"Zou Yu?" Sun Weiming was slightly startled. He obviously didn't expect Qi Yun to push Zou Yu out. "I will inform County Magistrate Ji Ke about this matter. In addition, you can arrange for the organization department to investigate and see if Zou Yu intends to adjust his position. After all, we still have to fully respect personal wishes."

After hanging up the phone with Qi Yun, Sun Weiming frowned. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Zou Yu was deeply hostile to Qi Yun. Could it be that Qi Yun was still in the dark? Otherwise, why would she speak well of Zou Yu? In addition, who would fill the vacancy after Zou Yu was transferred from the position of deputy director of the Merchants Bureau? Could it be that Qi Yun wanted to plant her own people there

Sun Weiming was having a headache thinking about it and was puzzled. He sighed, called Zou Yu and told her the news.

Chapter 0291: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice

Zou Yu was promoted to deputy director of the county government office without any obstacles. She went from deputy section chief to section chief in one step. Her main job is to assist the executive deputy county chief in the work of attracting investment.

However, despite the low profile of this job adjustment, it still caused quite a stir in the county government. After all, in terms of seniority and ability, the person who should have been promoted should have been Executive Deputy Director Li Hui, not Zou Yu. Something must have gone wrong when things were out of the ordinary, and this incident further confirmed the rumor that Zou Yu was Sun Weiming's mistress.

However, Zou Yu didn't care about the rumors at all. For a woman in the officialdom, seniority and ability are secondary. The key is to make good use of her body. Although the plot to discredit Qi Yun's image did not succeed, Qi Yun took the initiative to transfer herself out of the Merchants Group, which was also good news.

The new deputy director who replaced Zou Yu was named Wei Xi, a young cadre at the county finance bureau, who was highly regarded by Qi Yun. After these changes, the team of the Merchants Bureau was basically stable. At the same time, Fang Zhicheng was also grateful for Qi Yun's arrangement. In this way, among the four deputy directors of the Merchants Bureau, only Xiong Dechao was Sun Weiming's man, and his control over the Merchants Bureau was greatly strengthened.

Qi Yun used a balanced strategy to help herself plan cleverly. After kicking Zou Yu out, she left a clean environment for the China Merchants Group, which helped Fang Zhicheng to work more smoothly.

Fang Zhicheng was still very grateful for Qi Yun's good intentions. After all, Zou Yu framed Qi Yun, but Qi Yun promoted her to a higher level. This is an idea that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Sometimes, adding fuel to the flames can also have the same effect as suppressing others. She gave Zou Yu a push, but it would not be clear in a short time whether it was a benefit or a disadvantage. But from Fang Zhicheng's perspective, Zou Yu's departure from the China Merchants Group gave the group a new atmosphere, with less miasma.

Autumn came in a blink of an eye. The weather became cooler, and there were more rainy days. It was drizzling, and Fang Zhicheng didn't have the habit of carrying an umbrella. When he returned to the office, his coat was covered with a layer of mist. He brushed it off lightly, took out a tissue from his pocket, bent down and wiped off the mud spots on his leather shoes.

Not long after he sat down, the landline rang. After Fang Zhicheng answered it, he was slightly startled, and quickly smiled and said, "Boss, what can I do for you?"

Song Wendi rarely calls Fang Zhicheng, so today he must have something important to discuss with her.

Song Wendi said slowly, "When are you going to return to the Municipal Party Committee?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I am your soldier. You tell me when I will come back, and I will come back when I say I will..."

Song Wendi smiled and said, "Old Qiu came to see me yesterday. He thought that although you have been in Dongtai for a short time, you have made great contributions. It would be a shame if the organization department did not reward you."

Fang Zhicheng felt excited, but he finally smiled modestly and said, "This is the achievement of all the staff of China Merchants Group. It cannot be attributed to me alone."

"But!" Song Wendi shook a document beside him and sighed, "The county committee has issued a special document to help you win credit."

"Ah?" Fang Zhicheng felt a little strange and smiled bitterly, "Why haven't I heard of this?"

Song Wendi said calmly, "This document is written in the tone of the county party committee's organization department. The document believes that the establishment of the Qi Group and the Golden Street project in Dongtai is inseparable from your contribution. I hope the municipal party committee can give you corresponding commendations. Judging from the tone revealed between the lines of the document, it hopes that the municipal party committee organization department will give you a broader platform to display your talents."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head, guessed something, and sighed: "They want to indirectly drive me away from Dongtai..."

Sun Weiming used a similar tactic to Qi Yun's treatment of Zou Yu. He could not justifiably remove Fang Zhicheng from the China Merchants Group, so he used a more clever method to transfer Fang Zhicheng away from the Group.

Sun Weiming arranged for the Organization Department of the County Party Committee to write this document, fully affirming Fang Zhicheng's role and talents. At the same time, he believed that Fang Zhicheng was a young reserve cadre in the city and with such a brilliant resume, he could definitely use this to get promoted.

Isn't it the hope of a career in politics that people want to rise step by step? Sun Weiming satisfied Fang Zhicheng and made him achieve enough political achievements. The municipal party committee accepted Fang Zhicheng again and provided him with a better position on the municipal party committee platform. It seems that the result is more favorable to Fang Zhicheng, but in fact, Sun Weiming is making plans for himself. If Fang Zhicheng leaves the Merchants Group, then everything left in Dongtai will return to his hands. This is a clever way to properly fuel the flames of political enemies at the right time.

In short, it seems that you are helping your opponent to get promoted, but in fact you are adjusting your opponent's position to make better plans for yourself.
