Zuo Leng looked at Fang Zhicheng solemnly. To be honest, Zuo Leng was not very interested in reporting this news. Urban village renovation has encountered various problems across the country. The renovation of Sanyuanqiao Urban Village in Xiaguang District is just a common case in the province or the country. News emphasizes freshness. If it is based on this information alone, it is difficult to cause a sensation.
Moreover, Zuo Leng originally thought that Fang Zhicheng contacted him with the intention of using him, and then gave him the information. People don't like to be used, especially people like Zuo Leng who have independent thoughts, who are even more disgusted.
But if Fang Zhicheng is willing to be the subject of the interview and become the protagonist of this news, and to look at the various chaotic phenomena of urban village reconstruction from the perspective of a ruler, the weight of the news content will undoubtedly be more than doubled. Zuo Leng can even predict that once the news is reported, it will cause heated discussions across the country.
More importantly, Fang Zhicheng did not take advantage of Zuo Leng, but hoped to work with Zuo Leng to do a good job on this report, and even did not hesitate to use himself as a gimmick to hype up the news.
However, such reports have a significant negative impact on Fang Zhicheng. As a qualified politician, how can he expose his family affairs without reservation? Especially in Hanzhou, the municipal party secretary Xia Lanshan is an extremely conservative leader. If Fang Zhicheng exposes his family scandal, it will definitely cause Xia Lanshan's anger. If Fang Zhicheng offends the municipal party secretary, it will be difficult for him to develop in Hanzhou in the future.
Before interviewing Fang Zhicheng, Zuo Leng had made sufficient preparations. He collected a lot of information about Fang Zhicheng, including how he managed the Merchants' Bureau step by step in Dongtai, and how he later fought with two county party secretaries. Zuo Leng judged Fang Zhicheng as a person who planned before taking action. Sometimes his behavior seemed to break the rules, but he considered everything very carefully. His style of doing things was like playing chess. He had already seen clearly the changes behind the situation before making a move.
Zuo Leng nodded seriously and said, "Director Fang, since you are willing to bet your future, then I, Zuo Leng, will go crazy for once and work with you to complete this report."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said with emotion: "As others have said, reporter Zuo, you are one of the few journalists in Huainan who dares to tell the truth."
Zuo Leng waved his hand and said calmly, "You don't need to flatter me. Since I promised you, I will definitely do a good job on the news. I am going to interview you now. Are you ready? Many questions may be sharp and make you feel uncomfortable. But every question I ask will be what the readers want to ask, so please answer truthfully."
Fang Zhicheng sat upright and said with a smile, "I'll try my best to cooperate with you."
Zuo Leng took out a recorder, an interview notebook, and a pen, and then began to question Fang Zhicheng in an orderly manner.
"District Chief Fang, what do you think of the chaos in the urban village reconstruction in Sanyuanqiao Community? What kind of responsibility does the government bear in this matter?" Zuo Leng's first question was very direct. He pushed Fang Zhicheng to the edge from the beginning. Fang Zhicheng represented the government. Whether he answered the question or not, he stood on the opposite side of the officials who promoted the urban village reconstruction.
Fang Zhicheng said slowly, "I think the government bears the greatest responsibility for the renovation of urban villages. It failed to coordinate and turned something that was originally beneficial to people's livelihood into a tragedy. I have visited many victims of urban village renovation during this period, and their families have been broken up and people have died because of the government's promotion of this project. I have been deeply reflecting on whether the government should give priority to the collective or the individual when promoting some major projects that affect people's livelihood. In the end, I came to an answer that the interests of the individual should override the interests of the collective, and the interests of every citizen should be respected and fully considered by our government when planning. In this way, there will be no tragedy."
Zuo Leng did not expect Fang Zhicheng to criticize the government so directly. With admiration on his face, he continued to ask: "What remedial measures will the government take? As far as I know, the reconstruction of urban villages is still going on."
Fang Zhicheng said sincerely: "In the next process of urban village reconstruction, we will organize personnel to visit all citizens and solicit their opinions. We will give priority to their wishes. For example, if the compensation amount is not enough, the government will give priority to increasing the compensation amount, rather than using some unacceptable methods to force the people to sign a demolition agreement that goes against their will."
Zuo Leng didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to dare to tell the truth like this, and he actually felt admiration in his heart, because he could hear that Fang Zhicheng's words were from the bottom of his heart. An official is betting his own career. What courage and initiative is this
Zuo Leng continued to ask: "Since you think the government is at fault in this matter, do you want to hold them accountable?"
Fang Zhicheng said with certainty: "The corresponding responsibilities must be investigated. However, I am not sure how to investigate and who to investigate. But I believe that the higher authorities will pay attention to the problems in the renovation of Sanyuanqiao Urban Village and use this as a breakthrough point to change the original institutional or management deficiencies. There is no perfect government. Only a government that is constantly improving and perfecting can make society more harmonious."
…
Zuo Leng asked many questions, and Fang Zhicheng did not shy away from any of them. He answered the questions directly, neither servile nor disrespectful, and to the end, Zuo Leng's palms were sweating. It was the first time he had interviewed an official who dared to answer questions that broke the convention. He even realized that he had to do some processing when reporting, otherwise it would be difficult to pass the review.
Chapter 0470 Ye Song's Marriage Alliance
After Zuo Leng entered Fang Zhicheng's office, Jiao Zhengcai quickly got the news and rushed to Mo Jin's office. After hearing the purpose of the visit, Mo Jin pondered for a long time and said in a serious tone: "Have you arranged for someone to investigate the identity of that reporter?"
Jiao Zhengcai sighed and said, "I've asked the Propaganda Department to confirm that it's a very influential reporter from the Huainan Daily named Zuo Leng. He has reported a lot of negative news in the past. Is there any conspiracy behind his meeting with Fang Zhicheng this time?"
Mo Jin shook his head and said, "Fang Zhicheng shouldn't be that stupid. He is the district chief of Xiaguang District. Taking the initiative to expose his family's dirty laundry, isn't this a stupid move that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts himself by eight hundred?"
Jiao Zhengcai also said: "Perhaps we are a little too nervous. After Fang Zhicheng came to Hanzhou, he has always been very low-key and not ostentatious. This time he just invited a reporter to be a guest. I'm afraid it's not as complicated as we imagined."
Mo Jin touched his chin and said, "We should not be too nervous about this matter. Maybe it's just groundless worry. No matter how Fang Zhicheng messes around, I don't think he will cause any big trouble. After all, this is our little piece of land."
Jiao Zhengcai also agreed with Mo Jin's point of view, mainly because Fang Zhicheng was too silent and no one would have thought that he would do something earth-shattering.
Who would have thought that the top government official would take the initiative to talk to reporters about major local issues
After Jiao Zhengcai left the office, Mo Jin felt his temples throbbing and had a bad feeling, but he still suppressed his restless feeling and calmed himself down.
Mo Jin has always been very sensitive to Fang Zhicheng's actions, mainly because he feels guilty. In the Xiaguang District for so many years, he has experienced many positions. If someone really wants to investigate, his butt is not so clean.
The interview took about two hours. After Zuo Leng left, Fang Zhicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This report will not be published soon. After all, there are still many things that Zuo Leng needs to investigate to make things clearer. In this process, Fang Zhicheng needs to collect evidence for Zuo Leng and provide more convenience.
The reason why Fang Zhicheng let Zuo Leng get involved in this matter was, on the one hand, he felt that reporters were more professional and could investigate inside information that he could not find out; on the other hand, Fang Zhicheng knew that he had been targeted. Although he disguised himself to go deep into the Sanyuanqiao community, this was not a long-term solution. If he was discovered one day, it would inevitably alert the enemy.
Judging from his interactions with Zuo Leng, this is a reporter with a strong personality and the backbone of a reporter, so Fang Zhicheng cooperated and told Zuo Leng many things.
Fang Zhicheng held the pen between his fingers and tapped the table, his eyes showing a deep look. The clue he found had become a seed that had begun to take root and sprout. When the time was right, he would be able to turn the tide. Before that, he still needed to hide himself.
After get off work, Fang Zhicheng drove to the station to pick up Ye Qingrou. Ye Qingrou's hair had grown a lot longer, and she wore a pink hairpin on her head, which made people's eyes bright. Fang Zhicheng walked over with a smile, looked her up and down, and asked in confusion: "Wear more in the future!"
Ye Qingrou was actually wearing quite a lot, except for a mid-length skirt. If she walked, the hem of her skirt would swing, revealing most of her legs and exposing her beauty.
Ye Qingrou rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "I am already very conservative when I dress like this. If you haven't been to our school, you will find that most of the bottoms are exposed here."
She pointed at the location with her finger. Fang Zhicheng frowned and said seriously, "You are not allowed to do this."
Ye Qingrou grinned and said, "Brother, when did you become so conservative?"
Fang Zhicheng also felt that he was a little sensitive. Girls dressed in youthful and fashionable clothes to show their elegance. How could he restrict Ye Qingrou from wearing anything? He spread his hands and sighed, "I'm just giving you some advice. You should wear whatever you want."
Ye Qingrou stretched out her hand to hold Fang Zhicheng's arm, rubbed her face on his arm, and said with a smile: "Brother, I listen to you, and I like what you did just now. This makes me feel safe and know that you care about me."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Ye Qingrou and sighed secretly. Compared to when he first met Ye Qingrou, this girl has indeed grown up a lot. Her face is more angular, her chin has become pointed, and her eyebrows have become thinner and lighter.
Fang Zhicheng carried the suitcase and placed it in the trunk. Ye Qingrou sat in the passenger seat, leaned out half of her body, and looked at Fang Zhicheng with a smile.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing?"
