Those who can enter the official career are originally elites. After years of training, those who can stand out usually have extraordinary qualities.
Deng Shaoqun's outstanding feature is his innate leadership qualities. Sitting below him and listening to him preside over the meeting, one would feel oppressed by his aura. Whenever he asked a question, Fang Zhicheng could feel that the leaders in charge would obviously lose their temper and would answer cautiously for fear of causing Deng Shaoqun's dissatisfaction.
Fang Zhicheng had only been in Xiaguang District for a short time, so he had participated in the recent Standing Committee meetings as a spectator. Today was no exception. Deng Shaoqun did not give Fang Zhicheng room to show off. After the meeting was over, he waved his hand and the meeting was adjourned.
Fang Zhicheng was slowly packing up the materials on the table, while Deng Shaoqun had already left the meeting room. Deng Shaoqun had actually been observing Fang Zhicheng. Normally, a young man full of vigor and vitality would have an abnormal reaction if he was ignored in an important meeting. But Fang Zhicheng didn't seem to have any abnormalities at all, and he was calm and composed enough. One possibility was that he was numb and not clear about the environment he was in; another possibility was that he was kind and tolerant, and was good at hiding his thoughts, so it was difficult to see what he really thought.
Deng Shaoqun may seem hot-tempered to outsiders, but he is actually very patient. Fang Zhicheng's arrival in the Xiaguang District disrupted Deng Shaoqun's plan, and he was using a slow-cooking method to wear down Fang Zhicheng's will.
Deng Shaoqun was very familiar with the situation of the district government. Executive Deputy District Mayor Mo Jin and District Government Office Director Jiao Zhengcai were his pawns.
Of course, this move did not go as he originally planned. Deng Shaoqun wanted to lure out the old fox Ma Zhendong, but Ma Zhendong was not so easy to be lured out. After Fang Zhicheng came to Xiaguang District, there was not much movement, so Ma Zhendong naturally would not go out in person.
However, Deng Shaoqun could still predict that Fang Zhicheng would never give up so easily. Behind him was Song Wendi, secretary of the Qiongjing Municipal Party Committee. Because of their own interests, there would definitely be a confrontation between Ma Zhendong and Fang Zhicheng. He could just sit back and watch, and reap the benefits.
For Deng Shaoqun, Fang Zhicheng was an opponent on the one hand and a weapon on the other.
As the top leader of the government, Fang Zhicheng's control over government work is bound to be affected over time. Now the country emphasizes economic development as the center, and a district party secretary without economic control is like an angel with broken wings, so Deng Shaoqun will never let go of his control over government work.
Although the old district chief Ma Zhendong has always been very supportive of his work, Deng Shaoqun is very wary of him, even more so than the newcomer Fang Zhicheng.
Ma Zhendong has been in Xiaguang District for more than ten years, and the depth of his operations is hard for others to imagine. Although he is very obedient to Deng Shaoqun on the surface, he is doing many things inside that make Deng Shaoqun feel disheartened.
Take the industrial park project two years ago as an example. Deng Shaoqun originally wanted to place his own people in it, but at the Standing Committee meeting, he was completely at a disadvantage and was led by Ma Zhendong. Since then, Deng Shaoqun knew that Ma Zhendong was a smiling tiger, and when his interests were really touched, he would show his fangs.
Ma Zhendong retreated to the second line and no longer asked about the affairs of the district, but the feeling of being on edge made Deng Shaoqun uneasy.
Even if it was not Fang Zhicheng, and someone else sat on the throne of the new district chief, Deng Shaoqun would ignite a war between the new district chief and the old fox Ma Zhendong. As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Deng Shaoqun wanted to completely eliminate Ma Zhendong's power and make himself the real person in power.
Fang Zhicheng naturally knew Deng Shaoqun's intention, but he did not take the bait because once he was used, he would become a chess piece on Deng Shaoqun's chessboard.
Fang Zhicheng hoped that he and Deng Shaoqun were equal. If he was willing to cooperate with him, then he would consider it, but he could not accept letting himself become his gun and weapon against Ma Zhendong.
Fang Zhicheng's current situation in Xiaguang District can be described as complicated. Deng Shaoqun is watching him from above, Mo Jin and Jiao Zhengcai are monitoring him from below, and Ma Zhendong is watching him from behind. If he wants to get out of the current predicament, he needs to spend some effort.
After returning to the office, Jiao Zhengcai came in to report that all the candidates for the secretary interview had arrived and were waiting for Fang Zhicheng to conduct the assessment.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and ordered: "Let's set up a round table and let everyone attend the interview together."
Jiao Zhengcai was slightly startled. He did not expect Fang Zhicheng to be so creative and actually plan to conduct the interview in the form of a leaderless group discussion. He smiled bitterly and said, "Will this be too confusing?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "This can save time. If we interview everyone one by one, who knows how long it will take. In addition, the leaderless group discussion interview method can better test a person's ability to respond in a complex environment."
After leaving the office, Jiao Zheng suddenly realized that the reason why Fang Zhicheng suddenly announced a leaderless group discussion was probably because it had been planned long ago. Fang Zhicheng's requirements for a secretary were not as casual as he appeared. He hoped to find a capable and trustworthy secretary.
Fang Zhicheng was afraid that Jiao Zhengcai would manipulate the interview, so he came up with this unique idea.
After Jiao Zhengcai had been in contact with Fang Zhicheng for a long time, he increasingly discovered that Fang Zhicheng was no simple man. Although he was young, he had endless tricks up his sleeve. He did not look like a rookie in the political arena at all and was not easy to deal with.
He had placed three people among the candidates, making a total of six people. He had already informed them of today's interview content in advance last night. Now even the way of the interview had changed, and all the previous preparations had been completely wasted.
In the meeting room on the third floor of the district government, Fang Zhicheng met several candidates. He had already read their resumes. There were five men and one woman, three from townships and three from county-level units. The oldest was 36 years old, and the rest had just graduated and worked for one to two years. They looked a little childish.
After Fang Zhicheng and the others introduced themselves, he smiled and said, "First of all, I hope everyone can relax and regard this interview as a communication between friends. I am about the same age as everyone else, so there should be no generation gap in communication."
After Fang Zhicheng finished speaking, the effect was good and everyone had a knowing smile on their faces.
Fang Zhicheng continued, "Since everyone is laughing, I think everyone is not as nervous as before. Next, I will ask the question. Does anyone want to guess what the question is?"
Among them, a man with glasses raised his hand and said, "Director Fang, you have done extensive research on investment promotion in Dongtai City, so I guess your topic must be related to investment promotion."
The man with glasses is named Wu Yong. If Fang Zhicheng hadn't suspected that he had a close relationship with Jiao Zhengcai, he would have actually been impressed by his wit.
The reason why Wu Yong made such a judgment must be that Jiao Zhengcai revealed something.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and continued to ask: "Does anyone else want to guess?"
Shang Yan, the only woman, said, "I think your topic, District Chief Fang, will be related to the district government project."
Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, why do you think so?"
Shang Yan analyzed: "The provincial party committee is now promoting the integration of Qiongjin and Hanzhou. Xiaguang District, as a region adjacent to Qiongjin, bears important responsibilities. In the second half of the year, the provincial and municipal governments will definitely issue relevant tasks, so I think District Mayor Fang, you must be considering this issue now."
Shang Yan's looks are not top-notch, but she looks very capable. Her hair is piled high, and she wears a small suit and a white shirt. She has a unique temperament.
After Shang Yan finished speaking, Fang Zhicheng could not help but nodded, thinking to himself that it is not just beautiful women who are attractive, but a woman with knowledge of poetry and books will naturally be elegant. A woman like Shang Yan, who is well-read, can make people's eyes light up through her temperament.
Shang Yan had actually guessed the question she was going to ask. Being able to guess what the leader was thinking was one of the skills of a secretary. Shang Yan scored the highest on the first question. At the same time, Fang Zhicheng also determined Wu Yong's identity. He would never choose this person.
Fang Zhicheng held the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I have warmed up just now. Today's interview makes me feel a little surprised, because from everyone's performance, everyone came prepared, which also increases my difficulty. Who of you can stand out and become my secretary?"
"As Xiaoshang said just now, the integration of Qiongjin and Hanzhou cities is an important task for our district government in the future. You may analyze for me what we can do now in this work."
Fang Zhicheng's question was quite clever. The urban integration of Qiongjinhanzhou was a macro issue, and he had to break down the issue into smaller parts before he could allow everyone to express their opinions.
What he asked was what can be done now? This can be refined to a very small point, but it can also be extended to the future to test the interviewer's ability to expand his thinking.
