Qi Yun sighed slowly and said in a deep voice: "I have known for a long time that Zhao Heping is not a simple person, but I didn't expect that his mind is so gloomy."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "He is very patient and willing to stay in the third position for so many years. I heard before that the Municipal Party Committee wanted to transfer him to a department at the director level in Yinzhou and arrange him as the top leader, but he politely refused."
Qi Yun said softly, "From my analysis, Zhao Heping is a very open-minded person. He has reached the age limit and it is impossible for him to move up further, so he uses his existing power to obtain benefits for himself as much as possible."
Fang Zhicheng suddenly realized something and sighed, "From the surface, he seems to be a very upright official. I didn't expect that his thoughts behind the scenes are so terrible." When Fang Zhicheng first came to Dongtai, it was Zhao Heping who received him, so Fang Zhicheng did not have a very bad impression of Zhao Heping. He just felt that this third-in-command did not like to ask questions. Now thinking that he is very likely one of the cancers of Dongtai, he naturally sighs in his heart.
The officialdom is indeed a deep pool. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. You think you have seen through a person, but in fact you have only seen the tip of the iceberg. The competition and confrontation on the surface often seem to be powerful, but they are far less deadly than the dangers lurking in the dark. Qian Dechen was arrogant at the beginning, but Zhao Heping bit him in the vitals with his poisonous tongue.
At first glance, Sun Weiming controls the chessboard of Dongtai. In fact, in the hidden place, Zhao Heping's power is far more terrifying than Sun Weiming. However, once there is a fluctuation in these underground banks with strong funds, it is very likely to cause shocks in Dongtai and lead to social disorder.
Qi Yun also thought of the complexity of this and sighed, "Why don't I tell Sun Weiming about it and see if he reacts. If I can win his support, my chances of success might be better."
Fang Zhicheng quickly shook his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't do that!"
"Why?" Qi Yun asked puzzledly.
Fang Zhicheng said solemnly, "Sun Weiming and Zhao Heping are partners. Even if Sun Weiming doesn't know how many hidden tricks Zhao Heping has behind the scenes, he will never change the current situation easily. Partners will be suspicious of each other and guard against each other, but on key issues, they will only stick together. If you leak the news to Sun Weiming, I think it will only alert the enemy and have the opposite effect."
Qi Yun's eyes showed understanding, and she sighed: "What you said makes a lot of sense, but I thought too simply."
Fang Zhicheng showed a hint of determination in his eyes, and whispered: "Now we can only burst this abscess and use external forces to put pressure on Zhao Heping."
Qi Yun showed a cautious expression on her face and sighed softly, "Try not to make too much of a fuss. After all, Dongtai cannot have any major changes right now."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "How can we succeed if we look ahead and behind? If we want to completely change the fate of Dongtai, we must make drastic moves and burn our boats."
Qi Yun was slightly startled, and was greatly inspired by Fang Zhicheng's courage. In fact, Qi Yun was also an idealist. She worked so diligently because of her deep sense of responsibility. She had different views from the current Standing Committee members on many issues in Dongtai, but she had always kept them hidden in her heart.
After thinking for a long time, Qi Yun's eyes were filled with determination, and she said, "I agree with your point of view."
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng and Qi Yun began to discuss how to solve the problem of underground banks. They didn't finalize the corresponding strategy until they got off work. Two people discussing is far more comprehensive than one person thinking about the problem. Fang Zhicheng has a lot of tricks in mind, but because of Qi Yun's improvement, it is much more detailed and meticulous.
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "I hope to use this incident to push Xing Jike to the forefront, which will also help divert your pressure."
Qi Yun smiled slightly, nodded and whispered: "I understand what you mean."
The conspiracy between the two is very risky. Although it is expected to eliminate the underground money houses, it also brings negative impacts. In particular, the complicated relationship between Qi Yun and Sun Weiming is likely to be broken. Without Sun Weiming's support, it will be even more difficult for Qi Yun to completely control the county government in the future. If Xing Jike is pushed to the front, Qi Yun will not be under so much pressure.
After Fang Zhicheng left Qi Yun's office, he called Xing Jike. Xing Jike was delighted to hear that Fang Zhicheng had made a move, and immediately invited Fang Zhicheng to his office to discuss the matter in detail. Fang Zhicheng knew that Xing Jike couldn't wait any longer, so he revealed a little bit of the plan. Xing Jike immediately patted his thigh and said in support, "This is a good thing, and I will support you unwaveringly."
Fang Zhicheng then explained one by one the links that Xing Jike needed to deal with. As Fang Zhicheng expected, he actually thought this was an opportunity to get the power he deserved and had no doubts about Fang Zhicheng's plan.
Fang Zhicheng said softly, "We need to work slowly on this matter. Please be patient, County Magistrate Xing. When the time is right, we will work together to succeed."
Xing Jike nodded, patted Fang Zhicheng's shoulders twice, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
After returning to the office, Fang Zhicheng pondered for a long time, wrote down a few names on a piece of paper, and listed the key points. A big drama planned by him from beginning to end was about to begin. This might bring negative impacts to Dongtai, but it was better to prepare for it than to wait for it to break out many years later when the damage covered a wider area.
Chapter 0302: The overall situation is being planned
The night was slightly chilly, and Fang Zhicheng walked alone on the slightly dark street. After more than ten minutes, he turned into a secluded alley. Walking a little deeper inside, he arrived at where he lived.
He changed his pace, thoughts churning in his mind. Although the situation in Dongtai County seemed stable, the internal conflicts were actually very prominent. Especially today, he discovered an unexpected thing. The deputy secretary of the county party committee, Zhao Heping, who had been ignored all this time, was actually an old fox who was hiding very deeply. This required him to change his strategy.
After walking another ten meters, Fang Zhicheng stopped, took out his cell phone and called Qin Yuming. Qin Yuming smiled and said, "Did you just get off work? Have you eaten?"
Fang Zhicheng felt warm in his heart, nodded and smiled: "I just ate something, how about you? Are you still working overtime at the training school?"
As Fang Zhicheng expected, Qin Yuming was working overtime. She stretched and said lazily, "Yeah, there's nothing I can do. I have to handle so many things."
Fang Zhicheng comforted him softly, "There is no need to do many things yourself. Let the people below handle them. Professionals should do professional things."
Qin Yuming rolled her eyes in annoyance and smiled bitterly, "We've just started, how can we let go?" She paused for a moment and asked in a low voice, "You called me so late, it shouldn't just be because you care about me working overtime, right?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled, thinking that Qin Yuming knew him very well. After thinking for a while, he said truthfully: "Yuming, I need the information of a student from the performing arts school now. I wonder if you can help me investigate it!"
Qin Yuming raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "Who is it?"
"Yang Xiaoqiao." Fang Zhicheng explained, "She may be related to something I need to solve recently."
Qin Yuming was very familiar with Yang Xiaoqiao. She sighed and said, "This is a student with great potential in our performing arts school. She is being trained as a key talent. I can help you investigate her identity information, but can you tell me what it is for?"
Fang Zhicheng thought about it, and without hiding anything from Qin Yuming, he whispered, "I suspect she has something to do with Zhao Heping, the county party secretary of Dongtai..."
"What's the connection?" Qin Yuming asked. Fang Zhicheng could tell that she was asking this out of concern for her students.
Fang Zhicheng then told the story of how he followed Yang Xiaoqiao and finally found her getting into a black car. He sighed and said, "I saw clearly that day that she got into Zhao Heping's car, and her behavior and expression did not seem like a relative..."
Qin Yuming showed a look of regret on her face, and whispered: "Zhicheng, you also know that the social relationships of the students in the performing arts school are very complicated, especially the beautiful girls, most of them have complicated backgrounds. I once paid special attention to Yang Xiaoqiao. She is a very hardworking and talented student. I didn't expect that she would also... Oh, what a pity."
Fang Zhicheng understood Qin Yuming's mentality. He originally thought that he had found a good embryo, and as long as he carefully polished it, it would become a great thing. But the pearl was covered in dust, and his feeling can be imagined.
There is a rule in the entertainment industry that only a few people become famous in an instant. If you want to stand out, you need at least ten years of experience. If an artist is kept by someone before he or she debuts, then such a person is destined to have a short acting career. Even if he or she becomes famous, if someone chases him or her and finds negative news about him or her, it is very likely that his or her career will fail.
Fang Zhicheng comforted her, "I am just suspicious now. Please cooperate with me to investigate. Besides, a pearl is still a pearl even if it is covered by dust. As long as we help her in time, maybe she can turn back in time."
Qin Yuming looked worried, nodded, and said with regret: "I know what to do. If there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."
