"Governor Bu, I did not expect that the issue of the Sanyuanqiao urban village renovation would cause such a big disturbance. As the main person in charge of Hanzhou, I have an obligation to do so. No matter what kind of punishment the province issues, I am willing to bear it independently." Xia Lanshan knew the current situation. If he pushed the problem to others and found someone to take the blame, it would not help. It would be better for him to be magnanimous and take the initiative to apologize. This would make the province's attitude more peaceful.
Bu Yiren pondered for a moment and said, "Comrade Lanshan, I have always admired your work style. You are diligent in your work and have never made such a big mistake. I just spoke with Secretary Jinglong, and he also believes that the problem is not with you, but with the grassroots."
Xia Lanshan nodded and smiled bitterly, "It's mainly because of Fang Zhicheng... He is too young. He found such a big omission in the urban village renovation, but he didn't inform us in advance and accepted interviews from reporters, so our work is now very passive."
Bu Yiren raised his eyebrows and said, "Comrade Lanshan, I think this statement is a bit inappropriate. Although Fang Zhicheng did some things that government officials should not do, he is not the culprit. I read the report carefully and word for word. There are so many problems in the urban village renovation project, and you actually concealed them. This is an act of deceiving the superiors and the subordinates."
Xia Lanshan was scolded by Bu Yiren, and suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. He smiled bitterly and said, "Governor Bu, the incident has already happened. Please ask the province to help Hanzhou restore its image."
Xia Lanshan understood that Bu Yiren called him for other purposes. He seemed to want to investigate the huge damage to the government's image caused by the negative news, but in fact he wanted to achieve other goals. He was also an old fox in the officialdom. After careful analysis, he realized that Bu Yiren called to protect Fang Zhicheng.
Xia Lanshan also knew about Fang Zhicheng's resume. He originally thought that Song Wendi would call him, but surprisingly, Governor Bu Yiren took the initiative to call him. Compared with Song Wendi, Bu Yiren's words naturally carried a higher level of weight. Bu Yiren was still Xia Lanshan's old leader in name, so he would naturally not go against Bu Yiren's wishes.
Xia Lanshan sighed and said, "Governor Bu, I understand what you mean. The Municipal Committee will take a more lenient approach to Fang Zhicheng and will not hold him accountable too much."
Bu Yiren was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's not about lenient treatment, but about not treating him. From the perspective of the common people, what does Fang Zhicheng's behavior belong to? Heroism! For the benefit of the common people, he dared to speak out for justice and to point out the problems within the government. In this era, there are too few leaders who dare to do this. If you treat him, wouldn't it chill the common people and encourage deception within the government?"
Xia Lanshan was speechless, wondering what the relationship between Bu Yiren and Fang Zhicheng was. He couldn't even deal with him. Did he have to set him up as an example and publicize his behavior
Bu Yiren said earnestly, "Comrade Lanshan, how to properly deal with crisis public relations is something that all our government officials should learn seriously. In the past, the government loved to tell lies, which led to the people not trusting any of your actions and even rejecting them. Now that information technology is advanced, once there is any bad news, it will spread quickly. In this context, our government must insist on openness and transparency, consider issues from the standpoint of the people, and solve problems. We can no longer hide problems, because truth will come to light."
Xia Lanshan sighed and said, "Governor Bu, I understand."
Bu Yiren was reminding Xia Lanshan. He knew Xia Lanshan's character very well. He knew that he was a municipal party secretary who sought stability and security. Therefore, the atmosphere in Hanzhou had been very depressing in the past two years. Information was not open and transparent from top to bottom, and the people did not know what the government had done. Once the people made a petition, the government would immediately send troops to stop it.
Bu Yiren reminded Xia Lanshan implicitly that Hanzhou had not done well enough in terms of information disclosure and transparency. In the short term, this could certainly prevent government shocks, but in the long run, it would cause uneasy factors to accumulate like toxins.
Bu Yiren put down the phone, glanced at Zhao Guoyi, and said with a smile: "I have already communicated with Xia Lanshan. This old antique is just as you expected. He is ready to deal with Fang Zhicheng properly."
Zhao Guoyi sighed and said, "Thank you, Governor Bu. If you hadn't stepped in, I think Xiao Fang would have encountered setbacks."
Bu Yiren waved his hand and said, "Not necessarily! How could Song Wendi easily let his beloved disciple get hurt? I think he will personally ask Premier Siyuan to help Fang Zhicheng through this difficult time. As for Xia Lanshan, if Premier Siyuan comes forward, I'm afraid he will be the biggest loser. Fang Zhicheng's position is correct. He speaks for the justice of the people. If the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee punishes him for this, it would be a distortion of the facts. Secretary Wen will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He is very familiar with adding insult to injury."
Zhao Guoyi smiled and said, "I didn't expect Governor Bu to be so thoughtful. I just wanted you to speak up for a young official with great potential."
Bu Yiren smiled faintly and said, "If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but Fang Zhicheng is not an ordinary person. He is an important chess piece that Song Wendi has planted in Hanzhou. He took up the only spot in the Yanjing County training class some time ago, and that was decided by Premier Siyuan himself. If such an important person expands the impact of the incident, it will be enough to cause unrest in the entire province."
Zhao Guoyi was about to answer when Bu Yiren's office phone rang. He answered the phone and said with a smile, "Comrade Wendi, as far as I can remember, this is the first time you've called me."
Song Wendi smiled faintly and said, "Governor Bu, am I not afraid of disturbing you?"
"No matter how busy I am, I have to answer your call." Bu Yiren laughed, "Let me guess why you called me today? Hmm... It should be about a young man."
Song Wendi was slightly startled, thinking that Bu Yiren was too sensitive. He smiled and said truthfully, "Yes, I came here for Fang Zhicheng. This kid was too inconsiderate and caused such a big commotion in Hanzhou. Now the mess is hard to clean up, so I would like to ask Governor Bu to communicate with Xia Lanshan, secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee, to see if he can come forward to help Fang Zhicheng."
Bu Yiren knew what Song Wendi meant by this. His so-called helping Fang Zhicheng did not mean that Xia Lanshan really wanted to help Fang Zhicheng. He just hoped that Xia Lanshan would not hold Fang Zhicheng responsible.
Bu Yiren sniffed and sighed, "Wendy, I can certainly talk about this matter, but I have to remind you that it's a good thing for young people to be aggressive, but when dealing with many things, you still need to be more rational. You can't just act on impulse and not care about anything. That would hurt others and yourself."
Song Wendi knew that Bu Yiren was actually talking to him. Song Wendi was ten years younger than Bu Yiren, and in his eyes, he was just a young man. Recently, Song Wendi had been very active in Qiongjin, and some of it had naturally affected the interests of the Bu family. Bu Yiren was trying to give Song Wendi a heads-up.
Song Wendi understood and said in a deep voice, "Governor Bu, I understand what you mean. Qiongjin has been making frequent personnel arrangements recently. I will ask the Organization Department to send a list in two days. Please help me check it then."
Bu Yiren smiled faintly and did not give a direct answer. "I will also properly arrange the matter in Hanzhou. In fact, the problem caused by Fang Zhicheng this time is a big deal, but as long as it is handled peacefully, it is not a difficult matter."
Song Wendi smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Governor Bu."
For people at the provincial and ministerial level, the disturbance caused by Fang Zhicheng this time was not as serious as imagined. They were more concerned about the deeper competition. For example, Bu Yiren was worried that Fang Zhicheng's problem would lead to a fight among the three factions, which would eventually affect the abandoned Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary and hurt his own interests; while Song Wendi used Qiongjin's personnel layout to make a deal with Bu Yiren, so why wouldn't Bu Yiren do it
Of course, the province maintained a tolerant attitude towards Fang Zhicheng. The more important reason was that Fang Zhicheng's purpose of this trip was pure and just. He was not corrupt or plundering, but speaking for the people. In order to eliminate the negative impact of the Xiaguang District, the government had to remove a group of people. The level of these people was nothing more than the section level and the department level. For these provincial and ministerial officials, what was that
Bu Yiren glanced at Zhao Guoyi and said with a smile, "You were right. Song Wendi actually gave up at least four important positions above the deputy department level in Qiongjin for Fang Zhicheng. This shows how important he is to Song Wendi."
Zhao Guoyi also sighed: "I was a little overthinking."
Bu Yiren's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said lightly: "I am a little curious about Fang Zhicheng now. What kind of person is he that makes you all pay so much attention to him."
Zhao Guoyi pondered for a few seconds, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I really can't describe his characteristics. He seems like he shouldn't be in the officialdom, but he is a genius with unlimited potential."
Bu Yiren smiled and said, "Let's leave it at that. Xiaguang District must seriously deal with the remaining issues of the urban village reconstruction. Similar problems must not be allowed to occur again in the later work. At the same time, the responsible persons must be given corresponding punishments. Of course, try not to expand the scope and reduce it within a controllable range."
Zhao Guoyi nodded and said, "I will ask the Secretariat to make the arrangements. But what about Secretary Wen?"
Bu Yiren's eyes flickered as he said, "This is originally a government affairs job, so we will try not to let him interfere."
Chapter 0476 No Earthquake is Better than an Earthquake
Fang Zhicheng received a call from Song Wendi. It was the first time that he was so angry with Song Wendi. Song Wendi used the word "nonsense" eight times in a row.
"You are gambling with your political life!" Song Wendi criticized bluntly, "As a government official, you are exposing your family's dirty laundry. This is not bravery, but stupidity."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Boss, you once said something that left a deep impression on me. You must be an official with a bottom line. The wild idea of renovating the Sanyuanqiao urban village has seriously violated my bottom line. I cannot go against my conscience and let the situation develop."
Song Wendi sighed and said, "You are sometimes too smart, and sometimes too foolish. Well, things have come to this, you should learn from this lesson. I won't protect you in the future."
Fang Zhicheng smiled shamelessly and said, "Boss, you can't burn your bridges after crossing the river. You transferred me to Hanzhou. How can you let me fend for myself?"
Song Wendi said helplessly: "You, I'm afraid you have already anticipated the consequences, and even guessed that I would save you, so you are so bold, right?"
