Qin Yuming reached out and stroked a few strands of gray hair on her mother's temples. Suddenly, her nose felt sore and she almost cried.
Fang Zhicheng had almost finished replying to the text message and was about to get up and go to the bedroom when Qin Lang suddenly called Fang Zhicheng and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have something I want to ask you. Do you have time?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Of course I have time. Let's go to your room and talk?"
Qin Lang nodded, walked in front, and led Fang Zhicheng into the room.
Fang Zhicheng looked around the room for a while. Qin Lang's room had a unique style. On the walls were hung posters of singers full of popular elements, mostly from abroad, but there were also a few popular rock singers from China.
Qin Lang scratched his head and smiled: "Sorry, the room is a bit messy."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "You have a lot of personality. I can see that your university life is very fulfilling."
Qin Lang nodded quickly and told Fang Zhicheng about the previous recording studio. He said, "Music is my biggest hobby. Unfortunately, a hobby is just a hobby after all. I still have to be down-to-earth and return to reality."
Fang Zhicheng asked, "How is your Kashin Music Valley recording studio going now?"
Qin Lang shrugged and said, "All the equipment has been sold exclusively to my junior students. If you don't have 100% of your energy to focus on one thing, you might as well not do it."
Fang Zhicheng agreed with Qin Lang's attitude, nodded and smiled, "Go ahead, what do you want to tell me?"
Qin Lang organized his words and said slowly: "Brother-in-law, you know I like Wen Ling, right?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "Of course, every time you look at her, even the dumbest person can see it."
"A few days ago, I mustered up the courage to confess to Wen Ling, but she said that she felt that we were still too young and didn't have our own careers, so it was too early to talk about love now." Qin Lang smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law, did she say that to me? Is she rejecting me in a tactful way?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Yes, she did reject you tactfully, but have you ever thought about what will happen if she rejects you now? She doesn't like you enough now, so she rejects you, but you keep getting close to her and touching her. Who knows if she will reject you so easily in the future?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, do you mean that I should not give up and continue to pursue her?"
Fang Zhicheng said these things against his will, but Qin Lang was in a low mood. If he rubbed salt into his wounds, it would be like adding insult to injury. So he changed his strategy and encouraged Qin Lang, "I know a little about Wen Ling's personality. She is a very strong-willed girl, so her standards for choosing a partner are also very high. She likes men who are stronger than herself. If you want to be with her, you have to do the key thing, that is, be stronger than her!"
Qin Lang smiled helplessly. He knew Wen Ling's ability too well. After working for half a year, she won the honor of excellent employee. Among all the people who entered Dongtai Merchants Bureau, Wen Ling ranked first in both appearance and ability. However, he changed his mind and thought that the reason why he failed to confess his love might be, as his brother-in-law said, that this was a test set by Wen Ling for him. When one day, he and Wen Ling are on par with each other in work, or even surpass them, will Wen Ling still say that he is too young
Qin Lang nodded heavily and said, "Brother-in-law, I know what to do. I will definitely work hard!"
Chapter 0449: First Confrontation after Taking Office
Spring came early in Hanzhou this year. After the Chinese New Year, the temperature rose to 15 or 16 degrees. Cotton clothes were no longer suitable for wearing. Fang Zhicheng, accompanied by a deputy director of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, first reported to the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department arranged for Deputy Director Lee Kuan Yew and Fang Zhicheng to come to the Xiaguang District Government.
Xiaguang District Government is located in the west of Hanzhou City, and is the county with the fastest development pace. Qiongjin and Hanzhou are less than 100 kilometers apart. It only takes one hour to drive from Qiongjin to Hanzhou. Xiaguang District is located in the northeast of Qiongjin. Hanzhou's urban planning extends westward, and Xiaguang District becomes a bridgehead. From the observation along the way, although Hanzhou is not as good as Yinzhou, it has developed well and has a rising momentum.
Song Wendi arranged Fang Zhicheng in Hanzhou for a purpose. This year, the province allocated a special fund to open up the traffic between Qiongjin and Hanzhou, so that Qiongjin and Hanzhou can form an effective whole. Song Wendi is the secretary of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee. He pays great attention to the development of Qiongjin and knows that if he wants to further promote the economic development of Qiongjin, expanding the scale of the city is the next step that must be taken. However, as the provincial capital, Qiongjin has basically used up its original resources in the past reform and opening up process, so it can only find another way to drive the development of Qiongjin in the form of urban agglomerations.
The integration of Qiongjin and Hanzhou is a major plan that Song Wendi has focused on promoting since he took office. First, transportation comes first. In 2015, Qiongjin and Hanzhou will be quickly accessible. Four more passages will be built between Qiongjin and Hanzhou. The integrated transportation includes the Qiongjin Yangtze River Fourth Bridge, G328 Expressway, Huainan North and South Yangtze River Expressway, Lianhuazhou Urban Rail Crossing Channel, etc. After the smooth transportation, the next step of development includes public transportation card, tourism and service industry integration, communication integration, education integration, agricultural integration, and cultural and sports integration.
In short, in the future, Hanzhou will become Qiongjin's back garden, and Qiongjin will become the resource input port for Hanzhou. If successfully realized, this will enable the resources between cities to be maximized and produce unimaginable results.
The Hanzhou District Committee had already received the notice. As Fang Zhicheng and others stepped out of the car, a group of people came over not far away. Leading the group was Deng Shaoqun, secretary of the Hanzhou District Committee. He was 42 years old and was in the prime of his life.
Fang Zhicheng had known Deng Shaoqun before. He was a domineering person, spoke directly, and had strong ability to get things done. However, he was not willing to listen to opinions. In short, he was a bit of a one-man show. Dealing with such a district party secretary was not easy.
Deng Shaoqun took the initiative to come over, shook hands with Lee Kuan Yew, Deputy Director of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, and said, "Thank you to the Municipal Party Committee for arranging a young and promising district chief for us."
Lee Kuan Yew smiled and said, "Comrade Shaoqun, let me introduce you. This is your future comrade-in-arms Fang Zhicheng. In addition, this is Director Gao, the leader of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Department."
Deng Shaoqun had a smile on his face, but he was nervous inside, because according to the normal cadre appointment, the district chief was usually assigned a deputy director by the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. However, Fang Zhicheng was accompanied by someone arranged by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department, which showed that this guy was not ordinary.
Deng Shaoqun shook hands with Director Gao and said, "Welcome Director Gao to Xiaguang District for inspection and guidance. Let's go in and sit down and have a chat."
When Fang Zhicheng saw Deng Shaoqun greeting the two leaders of the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee but ignoring him, he knew in his heart that Deng Shaoqun did not welcome his arrival and was deliberately trying to intimidate him.
After entering the conference room, everyone sat down one after another. Deng Shaoqun briefly introduced the basic situation of Xiaguang District at present, mainly the organizational work. Because the two leaders were from the Organization Department, his talk on personnel work could also resonate with people.
Deng Shaoqun said with emotion: "It is not easy to do grassroots organization work now. There are many cadres, but not many who can take on tough tasks. Many senior cadres find it difficult to bear the burden when given more responsibilities; some young cadres are enterprising, but they are unreliable in doing things."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Deng Shaoqun was talking to him. Didn't he belong to the second category, young and unreliable? There was no expression on his face, but he sneered several times in his heart, thinking that Deng Shaoqun was just as he had imagined, a very difficult person to deal with.
Deng Shaoqun mentioned some difficulties one after another, and Lee Kuan Yew also gave Deng Shaoqun some replies, and said that the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department would pay attention to the various issues he raised and help the Xiaguang District Committee solve the organizational work problems as soon as possible.
Deng Shaoqun then smiled and said, "Today is Comrade Zhicheng's first day in Xiaguang, and I have said so many complaints. Please forgive me."
Lee Kuan Yew waved his hand and smiled faintly, "We came here today to bring Comrade Zhicheng to the position, and on the other hand, we also want to understand the work of grassroots organizations. Comrade Shaoqun, you can be frank with us, which allows us to collect a lot of information. I believe that Director Gao will report to the provincial party committee after returning. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
Director Gao coughed and said slowly: "It's good to report problems, but I think today's topic is a bit off track. Today I brought a young and promising general to Hanzhou, and we can't be too greedy. The Provincial Party Committee has many outstanding reserve cadres, and Comrade Fang Zhicheng is one of the best among them. Not long ago, he graduated with excellent results in the training class of the Central Party School and was highly recognized by the Party School. I think that letting Comrade Fang Zhicheng come to Hanzhou and Xiaguang District is the greatest support for your work from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee."
Director Gao said these words in a joking tone, but at the same time he also indirectly pointed out the importance of Fang Zhicheng. He is a reserve cadre who is being trained by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Since he has come to Xiaguang, government cadres should pay attention to him.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Let me say a few words. I was the deputy mayor of Dongtai City before, and I have some experience in attracting investment. After coming to Xiaguang, I will also focus on attracting investment, and strive to attract several large companies with a turnover of over 100 million yuan for Xiaguang. Of course, in response to Secretary Shaoqun's concerns, I have also made a deep reflection. My work experience may not be as good as some old comrades, but I think my work attitude and stability are still very good. So Secretary Shaoqun, please rest assured that I will not drag the team down. Finally, I will also hand in a military order. If the total amount of investment I attract does not reach 10 billion within a year, then I will take the initiative to resign from my current position."
Attracting 10 billion in investment
Deng Shaoqun could not help but be startled. He knew that Fang Zhicheng was retreating to advance, and threw out a military order to counter the previous show of power. However, the total amount of investment promotion in Xiaguang District last year was only more than 3 billion yuan, and the investment promotion task target of 10 billion yuan was too arrogant!
Lee Kuan Yew saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he smiled and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously. However, we have all felt Comrade Zhicheng's confidence. Comrade Shaoqun, isn't the deputy I assigned to you a courageous one?"
Deng Shaoqun smiled faintly and said, "Now that I have spoken in front of Director Gao and Minister Li, I can no longer take it as a joke. To be honest, attracting investment has always been a problem for me. Since Comrade Zhicheng is willing to help me solve my problems and seek benefits for the people of Xiaguang District, I can't just laugh it off. How about we write it down in black and white in front of the two leaders?"
