There was a quick knock on the door, and Wang Jingran, director of the county government office, pushed the door open. Fang Zhicheng quickly stood up, invited him to sit on the sofa, and made him a cup of tea. After Fang Zhicheng came to the county government, few people came to visit, and Wang Jingran was able to come and sit, which surprised Fang Zhicheng.

Wang Jingran is already in his forties. He is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall, and has a thin body. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He once served as the office director under Sun Weiming. He has a deep network of contacts in the county government and is deeply trusted by Sun Weiming. If it were not for monitoring and suppressing the current county magistrate Xing Jike, Wang Jingran would have been transferred to the county committee by Sun Weiming to hold an important position.

"Director Wang, I wonder why you are here?" Fang Zhicheng was still very wary of Wang Jingran. No one would come here for no reason. Wang Jingran had a zombie-like face, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking, but Fang Zhicheng vaguely guessed that it was definitely not a good thing.

Wang Jingran said calmly: "County Magistrate Fang, there was an unexpected incident, so I may have to inconvenience you. There have been a lot of personnel changes in the county recently, so it is very complicated to coordinate the office. Now I want to ask you if your office can be moved..."

Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled and frowned. He had been in this office for more than ten days. Now he was asked to adjust his office. Wasn't this an international joke

There are six deputy county magistrate offices, located on the second and third floors of the government office building. When the government office arranged its own office, it was lucky to choose an office on the second floor. This office has plenty of light, a large area, and good interior decoration.

In fact, Fang Zhicheng didn't have very high requirements for the office. If he was given an office with slightly inferior conditions at the beginning, it would be fine. He had been in the office for more than ten days, and now he was suddenly notified to move to a new office. This made him a little unacceptable.

Isn't this just a deliberate slap in the face

Fang Zhicheng remained calm, laughed coldly, and said, "I wonder which office is assigned to me?"

Wang Jingran still had no expression on his face, and he said slowly, "The office on the fourth floor was just renovated this year, and it's no worse than this office."

Fang Zhicheng quickly realized which office it was. The address was "404", an unlucky address.

Fang Zhicheng sneered and roughly guessed the whole story. He thought about it and refused: "Director Wang, I also have a special situation. I am severely allergic to paint. Wasn't that office renovated not long ago? If I move into that house, it will be fatal."

Wang Jingran was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Fang Zhicheng to give such a sufficient reason, so that he was stuck in his heart. He nodded expressionlessly and said indifferently: "Since County Magistrate Fang has such a special problem, it may need to be readjusted. I will think of a solution."

After sending Wang Jingran out of the office, Fang Zhicheng's face darkened. He had only been working for a few days when someone deliberately came to intimidate him.

Arranging an unlucky room number for me to move into, isn't that just deliberately disgusting myself

Officials are very taboo about these things. Someone must be taking advantage of their youth and deliberately want to slap them in the face.

Wang Jingran was the person who came forward to coordinate. He might not be the one who directly targeted him, but he must have hoped to put pressure on himself through this matter and let Fang Zhicheng know that he, as the government's chief steward, also had certain powers.

Fang Zhicheng thought about it, returned to his desk, and wrote down a few names on a piece of white paper, all of which were his potential opponents in the county government. It was not that easy to get into the officialdom. He looked around again and suddenly felt a sense of loss. He had stepped up a level, but found himself becoming a supporting role instead. This feeling was a bit bitter.

Chapter 0314 Giving Roses Leaves a Scent

All things are difficult at the beginning. It is extremely difficult to regain power in a new position. Judging from the two county magistrate office meetings, Fang Zhicheng was excluded and ignored by other deputy county magistrates because of his young age and inexperience, despite his outstanding performance in attracting investment.

However, the only thing he was thankful for was that Executive Vice County Mayor Qi Yun would speak for him, and although County Mayor Xing Jike had no actual power, he also showed his intention to win over Fang Zhicheng.

After Zhao Heping was dismissed, it was good news for Xing Jike. He took the opportunity to arrange a few of his own people in the recent job promotion list of the organization department. Xing Jike knew that this change was the key reason for the changes in Dongtai officialdom because of Fang Zhicheng.

Zhao Heping had been running Dongtai for many years. After his mysterious death, many people scattered, especially in the political and legal system. Many core positions appeared, and Xing Jike was already satisfied to be able to grab three or four out of ten of them.

Currently, the Dongtai County Government has a total of nine leaders. County Mayor Xing Jike presides over the overall work of the county government. He is responsible for the organization, personnel, supervision, finance, auditing, and the People's Armed Forces. He also oversees the County Development Zone Management Committee, Organization Department, Supervision Bureau, Finance Bureau, State-owned Assets Office, and Audit Bureau.

Qi Yun, the executive deputy county mayor, is responsible for the routine work of the county government, and is in charge of urban and rural construction, planning, investment promotion, urban management, construction industry, regional water supply, taxation, finance and insurance, e-government and other aspects, and assists in the management of finance, auditing, organization establishment, and the people's armed forces.

Deputy County Mayor Deng Hongguo is in charge of education, health, culture, radio, television, press and publishing, sports, food and drug safety, population and family planning, women and children, and application for World Heritage status.

Deputy County Mayor Liao Guidong is in charge of agriculture and rural areas, agricultural industrialization, urban and rural construction, water conservancy, grain, transportation, ethnic groups and religions, housing security, land and resources and other aspects.

Chen Deping, deputy county magistrate and director of the Public Security Bureau, is in charge of public security, civil affairs, justice, letters and visits, government law, emergency management and other aspects. He presides over the work of the county public security bureau and is in charge of the county civil affairs bureau, justice bureau, letters and visits bureau, legal affairs office, and emergency management office.

Deputy County Mayor Gu Yuan is in charge of development and reform, tourism, human resources and social security, and communications.

Deputy County Mayor Shao Jianxiang is in charge of science and technology, quality supervision, and is in charge of the county science and technology bureau, earthquake bureau, intellectual property bureau, quality supervision bureau, etc.

As for Luo Hui, he has been transferred from the county government to an idle position in the CPPCC.

Fang Zhicheng's temporary division of responsibilities was not clear, so his ranking was also unclear. Fang Zhicheng realized that the division of responsibilities among county governors would probably not be readjusted until after the Spring Festival, so he simply let go of his burden and spent a happy Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, Fang Zhicheng returned to Yinzhou and first visited Song Wendi. After presenting him with Dongtai's local specialties, he had a long conversation with Song Wendi, mainly focusing on Yinzhou's next development strategy. After the Dongtai Comprehensive Bonded Zone application was successful, Song Wendi planned to build a sub-financial center strategy around this policy.

The so-called sub-financial center is to build Yinzhou into the second largest financial sub-center in China by relying on Yunhai's status as a super financial center in China.

Yunhai has developed rapidly and achieved success with its headquarters economy. Yinzhou can leverage this strength and take advantage of its location to extend the headquarters economy and make Yinzhou the second center.

Although it is in a "parasitic" state, it can make good use of the resource advantages of Yunhai and then become a bridge for the mutual flow of resources with Huainan Province.

Fang Zhicheng took the opportunity to recommend Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd., and said with a smile: "If you want to build a financial center in Asia, then there must be an entity that becomes the focus of influence. I think we can recommend Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Company and package it into a brand."

Song Wendi knew Fang Zhicheng's intention, nodded with a smile, and sighed: "You are a qualified salesman. You are right, Yinzhou needs such a similar financial platform, but Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. has just started and is not mature enough."

Fang Zhicheng patted his chest and assured: "Boss, I guarantee that within three years, the investment promotion company will become the biggest highlight of Dongtai's economic growth."

Song Wendi sighed, his eyes flashed, as if he saw through all of Fang Zhicheng's intentions, and said lightly: "You recommend it so strongly, it seems a pity if we don't put the investment promotion company into the city's key projects."

Fang Zhicheng grinned, thinking that the old ones are still the best. If the investment promotion company can be included in the key projects, its status will be raised to a higher level in terms of policy support and future development potential. He said seriously, "Boss, you won't regret this decision."

Song Wendi nodded and said, "You have made quite a fuss. You have convinced Wenfeng and reached a strategic partnership with the provincial bank. You have also attracted the attention of Secretary Siyuan. The investment promotion company is now eligible to be included in the municipal planning. However, you must keep a low profile and pay attention to controlling risks, avoiding mistakes, and preventing people from taking advantage of you."

Seeing that Song Wendi had listened to his advice, Fang Zhicheng felt relieved and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Although the investment promotion company is just a service organization, I have taken strict control in management. You can go to Dongtai to visit it in person when you have time. I can say that in the whole Yinzhou, there is no more standardized company than the investment promotion company."

Fang Zhicheng's words are true. The management model of the investment company is very advanced and is strictly formulated in accordance with the standards of international companies. In the early days of its establishment, Fang Zhicheng introduced a mechanism, so the employees were able to adapt to the norms. An advanced management model does not mean strict management, but a clear reward and punishment system and an open-minded management approach.

Seeing Fang Zhicheng so confident, Song Wendi smiled and said, "After the New Year, I will check it myself. Don't let me down."
