After the meeting, Fang Zhicheng's division of labor was determined. He was in charge of investment promotion, modern service industry, Investment Promotion Bureau, Commerce Bureau, Industry and Commerce Bureau, Tobacco Bureau, and Dongtai Comprehensive Bonded Zone; and was in charge of key project construction and land acquisition and demolition work in the county.

The so-called key project construction mainly refers to the Huijin Commercial Plaza and Golden Street projects of the Qi Group, as well as the billion-level projects introduced by the Dongtai Investment Promotion Group in the past two years.

According to Fang Zhicheng's resume, his division of labor is not surprising, but Deng Hongguo cannot accept it. After all, this makes his chances of becoming a member of the Standing Committee even slimmer. Fang Zhicheng could feel Deng Hongguo's naked hostility at the county head meeting, but he was not afraid. Although Deng Hongguo has more experience in the county government than himself, so what? Deng Hongguo is in charge of science, education, culture and health, and from the perspective of growth potential, there is no need to worry.

One can see a person's potential from the work he is in charge of. Attracting investment holds the economic lifeline of the entire county, which is more important than other fields and is also conducive to achieving political achievements. Relatively speaking, it is almost impossible for the departments such as the Science and Technology Bureau, Education Bureau, and Health Bureau under Deng Hongguo to achieve results.

On the contrary, Fang Zhicheng paid more attention to Chen Deping, who was not very old, less than 35 years old, and he was not only the deputy county magistrate but also the director of the Public Security Bureau. Judging from the national trend in recent years, the political and legal system will become a powerful department, and Chen Deping's current position determines that he will become a heavyweight figure in Dongtai in the future.

At the county heads' division of labor meeting, Chen Deping did not express much and remained calm and composed. This made people feel that he was not a simple person. If he stood on the opposite side of himself, things would be more difficult in the future.

After the meeting, Deng Hongguo returned to his office and called the county party secretary Sun Weiming. "Secretary Weiming, you told me last time that if there is any movement in the government, I will report to you. There is a trend at the county magistrates' meeting today that I feel I must tell you about."

"Oh? What's going on?" Sun Weiming was originally reviewing documents. At this moment, he put down the pen in his hand and waited for Deng Hongguo's report with a serious face.

Deng Hongguo sighed softly and said, "County Magistrate Xing and County Magistrate Qi have reached a consensus on Fang Zhicheng's division of labor today. This has never happened before..." Then, he recounted to Sun Weiming the entire story of today's county magistrate's office meeting, adding some exaggeration.

Sun Weiming's face became more and more gloomy, and the anger in his heart was imaginable. Qi Yun was his right-hand man who was trained with great emphasis. He was originally placed in the government to restrain Xing Jike. Now Qi Yun not only did not carry out his mission, but stood in the same camp with Xing Jike, which made Sun Weiming feel betrayed.

He tapped his fingers heavily on the table several times and said in a gloomy tone, "I know about this. You did a good job. If similar situations occur in the future, remember to tell me in time. In addition, I also want to tell you a piece of news. The county party committee standing committee will soon be changed. The municipal party committee organization department has decided that the deputy secretary of the party committee will be selected from the existing cadres in the county. In this way, there will be a series of promotions. I think highly of you and think you can definitely go a step further."

Deng Hongguo was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Secretary Weiming."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Deng Hongguo felt excited. He originally thought that Fang Zhicheng's entry into the county government was a disadvantage for him, but now it seems to be an opportunity.

Why do you say that

County Party Secretary Sun Weiming was dissatisfied with Fang Zhicheng, and everyone in the county party committee compound knew about it. Fang Zhicheng's promotion to deputy county chief and entry into the core level of the government would definitely arouse Sun Weiming's high vigilance. In addition, Qi Yun and Xing Jike were now secretly in collusion, and after Sun Weiming lost an arm, he would undoubtedly be very useful to Sun Weiming.

No one wants to be someone else's pawn, but in officialdom, sometimes only by being valuable in the eyes of your superiors can you get the power you want.

Deng Hongguo frowned and thought for a while, holding his chin. Fang Zhicheng had just become the deputy county magistrate and was very familiar with investment promotion, but he certainly didn't understand other work, especially demolition work. So if he wanted to make Fang Zhicheng suffer a loss, he had to take advantage of the fact that he had just been in charge of demolition work and set a trap. Otherwise, it would be too late to plan after Fang Zhicheng took the position.

Once Fang Zhicheng has a flaw, Sun Weiming will naturally come out to cause trouble for him, and as for himself, since he has made contributions to Sun Weiming, his status will naturally rise.

Deng Hongguo's thoughts became clear. Although Sun Weiming did not explicitly ask him to deal with Fang Zhicheng, with his keen sense of smell, he automatically found a way to change his destiny.

Deng Hongguo made up his mind and found the phone number of Li Kenong, the Party Secretary of Xujiaqiao Township, from the address book. Deng Hongguo was from Xujiaqiao, so Xujiaqiao Township could be said to be Deng Hongguo's direct subordinate. Xujiaqiao Township is located in the northwest of the suburbs and is a key township in the county's political planning. In the next three to five years, the county party committee has decided to move the county party committee compound to Xujiaqiao Township. In other words, Xujiaqiao Township will be the political center of Dongtai in the future.

Li Kenong was Deng Hongguo's subordinate, and it was Deng Hongguo who helped him become the head of the township party committee. Therefore, Li Kenong respected Deng Hongguo very much.

"County Magistrate Hongguo, what do you want me to do for you?" Li Kenong asked enthusiastically.

Deng Hongguo coughed lightly and asked, "How is the demolition work at Xujiaqiao going?"

Li Kenong thought Deng Hongguo was calling for justice, and sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. How could the demolition work be so easy? He smiled bitterly and said, "There are more nail households than I imagined. It is extremely difficult, but I promise that I will follow the requirements of the county government and demolish them within the specified time."

Deng Hongguo snorted and fell silent, which made Li Kenong feel cold. After a long silence, Deng Hongguo finally spoke: "At today's county magistrate meeting, the new deputy county magistrate, Fang Zhicheng, will be in charge of the demolition work in the future. Since you have encountered a problem, you should report it to County Magistrate Fang in a timely manner. Of course, you should pay attention to the skills in the reporting process. It is wrong to report good news but not bad news, and it is also not right to report bad news but not good news."

"Ah?" Li Kenong was a little confused. Deng Hongguo's words today were too strange. It was obvious that there was something else behind his words. He was deliberately beating around the bush with him.

Is it good news or bad news

Li Kenong was a little undecided and smiled awkwardly: "County Magistrate Hongguo, you are too polite. In my heart, you will always be my leader. If there is anything, I will definitely report to you. What does it have to do with the deputy county magistrate in charge of demolition work?"

Deng Hongguo knew that Li Kenong had not yet understood what he meant, so he continued to point him out, saying, "Dongtai is currently undergoing a large-scale construction and demolition work. Whether it is done well or not is related to government planning. Xujiaqiao Township is a key planning area. If any problems arise, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility. Therefore, you should report more to County Magistrate Fang. If he does not take it seriously, you must make him take it seriously."

After Deng Hongguo said this, Li Kenong finally understood. It turned out that Deng Hongguo wanted him to make things difficult for the new deputy county chief Fang Zhicheng. Li Kenong sighed secretly. His old leader was meticulous. When communicating with him, he always had to listen carefully and analyze carefully to understand his meaning.

As for the new deputy county chief Fang Zhicheng, Li Kenong was also well-known. The current active investment promotion in Dongtai County was due to Fang Zhicheng's contribution. At the beginning, the executive deputy mayor of Shuangtan Town once made things difficult for Fang Zhicheng, and as a result, several major projects were about to leave Shuangtan Town, which caused all towns to pay special attention to the Investment Promotion Bureau.

Deng Hongguo wants to make things difficult for Fang Zhicheng. Wouldn't that make things difficult for him and the China Merchants Group

Li Kenong was in a dilemma, but Deng Hongguo was his old boss after all, so he could not go against Deng Hongguo's wishes. He said softly, "County Magistrate Hongguo, please rest assured. I know what to do."

After giving instructions to Li Kenong, Deng Hongguo showed a smile.

Fang Zhicheng is also a young man with potential. If he were the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, he would not be able to achieve the same results as him. However, in the officialdom, strength is not everything. Connections, qualifications, and political strategies are all indispensable. Deng Hongguo is also a good man and has seen many young people with potential fail.

Of course, Deng Hongguo was very smart. He would hide behind and arrange everything, and Li Kenong would be his chess piece.

After Fang Zhicheng returned to the office, he received a call from Xing Jike, who asked him to go to the county magistrate's office for a while. When Fang Zhicheng arrived at the office, Xing Jike did not put on airs this time and enthusiastically asked Fang Zhicheng to sit on the sofa. Fang Zhicheng could also figure out Xing Jike's change in attitude. Before, he was just a senior technician, but now he is a deputy director. Although he is one level lower than Xing Jike, he can already talk directly with Xing Jike.

After Xing Jike sat down, Fang Zhicheng asked directly, "County Mayor Jike, you asked me to come here to discuss the candidate for deputy secretary of the Party Committee, right?"

Xing Jike was slightly startled. He did not expect Fang Zhicheng to be so direct. He smiled to hide his embarrassment and said, "That's right. This is the best time for us to counterattack Sun Weiming."

Xing Jike emphasized the word "we", obviously wanting to tie Fang Zhicheng to himself. At today's county magistrate meeting, Xing Jike also saw the clues. Qi Yun and Fang Zhicheng have a good relationship. If he can win over Fang Zhicheng, he can also win over Qi Yun. In this way, won't he be able to regain control of the county government

The position of deputy secretary of the Party Committee is temporarily vacant, which is a good opportunity. If we can still fight for such a position, then the three important positions of deputy secretary of the Party Committee, county magistrate, and executive deputy county magistrate can be combined to compete with Sun Weiming in the Standing Committee meeting.

Fang Zhicheng certainly understood what Xing Jike meant. He remained expressionless, but secretly sighed that Xing Jike was dreaming. How could the position of deputy secretary of the Party Committee be arranged according to his wishes? He was really underestimating Sun Weiming.

Chapter 0319 Deliberately Leaked the News

When it was almost time to get off work, Li Kenong, the Party Secretary of Xujiaqiao Township, called. Fang Zhicheng frowned, feeling that something was not right, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Li Kenong had met Fang Zhicheng several times. When Fang Zhicheng was at the Investment Promotion Bureau, in order to better understand Dongtai's investment promotion situation, he visited several towns and villages, so he was not unfamiliar with several party committee leaders.
