Sun Weiming nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. In this case, you should think about it carefully and see what method you can use to create a conflict between Xing Jike and Qi Yun. If you succeed, I will remember your great achievement."
Deng Hongguo was delighted to see that Sun Weiming had adopted his opinion, and said, "Secretary Weiming, I have one more thing I want to report to you."
Sun Weiming was not surprised. People are driven by interests. Since Deng Hongguo was willing to work for him, he naturally wanted to gain some benefits. Sun Weiming smiled faintly and said, "Old Deng, there is nothing to hide between us. You might as well be frank and speak directly."
Deng Hongguo pondered his thoughts for a while and said with a smile: "I heard that the government personnel will be adjusted significantly soon. At the same time, can the division of labor also be adjusted?"
Sun Weiming straightened his back, smiled faintly, and said, "What do you want to be in charge of?"
Deng Hongguo smiled and pretended to be a little embarrassed: "Secretary Weiming, my responsibilities have remained the same for many years, and I also want to challenge myself. For example, I have the confidence to manage investment promotion and comprehensive bonded areas well..."
Sun Weiming narrowed his eyes, thinking that Deng Hongguo actually wanted the department that Fang Zhicheng was in charge of. It seemed that the relationship between Deng Hongguo and Fang Zhicheng had reached the point where fire and water could not coexist. Of course, Deng Hongguo must know Fang Zhicheng's strength. He might have made such a request to pave the way for other needs. If Sun Weiming could not meet his needs, he would naturally give him other lucrative positions. Deng Hongguo might have such an idea.
Sun Weiming smiled faintly and said, "I will consider this matter carefully and discuss it again later."
After Deng Hongguo left, Sun Weiming's face was covered with a gloomy look again. Although he hid it very well during the communication with Deng Hongguo, Sun Weiming could still see that Deng Hongguo was wavering. He wanted to support Xing Jike in rebelling against Qi Yun, but wasn't he also looking for another backer
With the help of Fang Zhicheng, Xing Jike was out of danger. Even if he had conflicts with Qi Yun, it would probably not become apparent until one or two years later. How could Deng Hongguo succeed in sowing discord at this moment
Fence-sitters are to be avoided in official circles, but Deng Hongguo has already shown signs of being on the fence, and Sun Weiming is beginning to feel wary.
As for government work, Sun Weiming has realized that he cannot reverse the situation, especially since Chen Deping did not use his trump card as expected at the critical moment. Sun Weiming has realized that Chen Deping might have betrayed him and he will inevitably lose control. The only way is to place Wang Jingran in the position and try his best to prevent himself from knowing anything about government work.
Sun Weiming couldn't help but smile bitterly. It had only been a year since he was promoted from the position of county magistrate to the position of county party secretary. He didn't expect that he would lose control of the government so quickly. This was something he had never expected.
Of course, Sun Weiming also gained more. Although the county government is the most important part of all institutions, he can check and balance it through other departments, such as the CPPCC, the National People's Congress, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Organization Department, the Propaganda Department, etc. As long as it is properly controlled, Dongtai will always be his, Sun Weiming's Dongtai.
The only thing that made Sun Weiming feel uneasy was that he was being weakened step by step at the municipal party committee level, especially Song Wendi, who went from being the main supporter at the beginning to being deliberately ignored now. A sense of crisis loomed in his heart.
However, Sun Weiming is not a simple person. He has come this far step by step, so he must have something extraordinary. Sun Weiming also has hidden strength in his hands, that is, the group of comrades he served with back then. Among these comrades, some have already surpassed him in the army or officialdom, but Sun Weiming has never used this relationship because it is his secret weapon.
Sun Weiming thought silently that perhaps it was time to use this power. The current situation was too unfavorable to him. The sense of crisis was even stronger than when Qian Dechen was here.
In the past, Sun Weiming always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, like a beast hiding in the jungle, hunting for food. But now he feels that there is no jungle around him, and he must show his energy, so that he can regain control of his power in Dongtai, where opportunities are endless.
In mid-July, the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department issued an appointment notice, appointing Duan Xuan as the deputy secretary of the county party committee. This change caught many people in Dongtai officials off guard. Subsequently, the county party committee standing committee was reshuffled, and the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Zhen Ye was transferred out of Dongtai to serve as the deputy secretary of the county party committee in a neighboring county. The secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Hua Gang was adjusted to the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Chen Deping was transformed from the deputy county magistrate to the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
As for the government, there have been great changes. After Chen Deping left, a deputy county magistrate position became vacant and was replaced by the former office director Wang Jingran. What is surprising is that Luo Hui, who was originally transferred to the CPPCC for a temporary position, has been reborn and returned to the county government, which is shocking.
Luo Hui returned to his original office with a lot of emotion. He originally thought that there would be no turning point, but he did not expect that after the passage of time, he could still sit in the original position. However, things and people have changed. Qian Dechen, who was once so powerful, has been dismissed, and even Sun Weiming, who was once so arrogant, has restrained his arrogance and acted low-key.
Dongtai is truly entering an era of great development. The province has focused its attention here, continuously parachuting in elite figures to completely disrupt the original officialdom layout. I am so fortunate to be able to return to this position.
Knock, knock, knock. Luo Hui sat up straight, took a breath and said, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and Fang Zhicheng walked in with a smile on his face, saying, "County Magistrate Luo, your office is well tidy, isn't it?"
Luo Hui stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, you are the first person to come to my office." After that, he stood up and took the initiative to make tea for Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng did a lot of work for him to return to the county government. Qiu Hengde, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, made a long phone call to Sun Weiming, and finally made Sun Weiming back down and make a decision to let Luo Hui return to his original position.
"County Magistrate Luo, now that you've been reinstated, the tea smells much better." Fang Zhicheng took a sip and said with a smile.
Luo Hui smiled slightly and said, "I was able to return to my post thanks to your help. Of course, I have to serve you good tea."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said jokingly, "Don't even think of sending me away with a cup of tea. You'll have to repay me slowly in the future."
"Sure, sure!" Luo Hui put down his teacup, his eyes flashed, and he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that you are going to become a permanent member of the UN?"
Chapter 0371 A bet with Qi Yu
The news about Fang Zhicheng becoming a member of the Standing Committee has been circulating very widely recently. It seems that in order to express his gratitude to Fang Zhicheng, Xing Jike actually proposed at the Standing Committee meeting to add a county party committee standing committee. Now the Dongtai County Standing Committee includes: County Party Secretary Sun Weiming, County Mayor Xing Jike, Party Deputy Secretary Duan Xuan, Executive Deputy County Mayor Qi Yun, Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Hua Gang, Political and Legal Committee Secretary Chen Deping, Organization Minister Zhu Zengzhi, Propaganda Minister Lu Yao (female), United Front Work Department Director Zhang Cuizhengjiang, Armed Forces Department Political Commissar Liu Mingqiang, and County Party Committee Office Director Chen Jianwei, a total of eleven people.
The former Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Zhen Ye was transferred away from Dongtai, and Hua Gang was promoted from Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and his ranking moved up further. After Chen Deping took over as Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the number of standing committee members of the county government was reduced from three to two. Therefore, Xing Jike believed that it was necessary to add one more seat and add a deputy county governor as a standing committee member to fill this vacancy in the government.
Although who will serve as the standing committee deputy county mayor has not yet been finalized, Deng Hongguo and Fang Zhicheng are currently the most popular deputy county mayors.
However, in Luo Hui's opinion, Fang Zhicheng has more advantages than Deng Hongguo, mainly in terms of the work in charge. Deng Hongguo has been in charge of education and health. Although there is no distinction between big and small government work, it is much lighter than the investment promotion that Fang Zhicheng is in charge of now. Deng Hongguo is obviously aware of the problem and is trying hard to seek help from Sun Weiming recently, hoping that he can take the lead in getting the county magistrate to redivide the work.
However, Deng Hongguo's idea may not be easy to realize, because Sun Weiming is now focusing on the competition in the Standing Committee and has no time to take care of government work.
Facing Luo Hui's probing, Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said noncommittally: "I don't have the energy to care about whether I am a member of the Standing Committee or not, but those key projects are already giving me enough trouble. Huijin Commercial Plaza is about to open, but the shops have not been renovated yet, which gives me a headache. If Huijin Commercial Plaza cannot be opened smoothly within the specified time, it will be very troublesome. I received a military order at that time."
Luo Hui's expression changed, and he laughed softly, "Zhicheng, it seems that you came to me because you have an idea."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Brother Luo is very perceptive. I need your help in this matter. The investment promotion work of Huijin Commercial Plaza was originally under the sole responsibility of Qi's Group, but some time ago, there was a problem with the investment promotion department of Qi's Group, so now the investment promotion work has come to a standstill. You have a wide network of contacts, and I know you must have a way to solve the current urgent problem. As for the rent, I will communicate with Qi's Group and will keep the rent to the lowest."
Luo Hui did not shirk his responsibility. He was able to return to the county government entirely because of Fang Zhicheng's help. He smiled and said, "I was just worried about having nothing to do. Since you asked, I will do my best to help you deal with this matter."
Just as Fang Zhicheng guessed, Luo Hui has certain resources in attracting investment. Although he has been silent for nearly a year, he only needs to pick it up again to bring unexpected results.
Seeing that Luo Hui was willing to help, Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Luo, for your help."
After Fang Zhicheng left, Luo Hui took out his notebook and found several phone numbers, all of which were resources accumulated when he was the director of Qiongjin. Some of them were commercial real estate owners who had strong ability to attract shops, such as large electrical appliance malls, food malls, and clothing brand stores. The investment attraction capabilities held by the Qi Group were mostly international brands, while these commercial real estate owners held more domestic brands with relatively strong strength and high cost performance.
Luo Hui could guess Fang Zhicheng's intention. Even if there were problems with the Qi Group's investment promotion department, it would not affect the entry of shops into Huijin Commercial Plaza. Fang Zhicheng must be afraid that the shops attracted by Huijin Commercial Plaza would be too high-end, so he wanted to attract some mid-range brands to settle in, so that Huijin Commercial Plaza could be more localized.
After Fang Zhicheng returned to the office, his landline rang. It was Qi Yu calling, "Fang Zhicheng, your suggestion is good. The board of directors agrees with your point of view and divides Huijin Commercial Plaza into two areas. One area is mainly for ordinary citizens' consumption, and the other area focuses on high-end brands to attract high-spending groups. This can solve the problem that the group is not acclimatized to other cities. However, we don't have many resources for those shops that target ordinary citizens' consumption, so we still need your help to see if you can find some suitable shops in Huainan."
Qi's Group had negative news last week. The commercial plaza in a city in southern Fujian Province was too high-end, so the business was bleak. In less than two years, most of the shops withdrew their investment, making the commercial plaza quickly become a ghost town. As a result, the investment promotion department of Qi's Group was criticized in various ways, and its credibility was greatly reduced. At the same time, it also brought doubts from Dongtai citizens about the Huijin Commercial Plaza invested by Qi's Group.
