To win people's hearts and control their hearts, one way is to win their respect, and another way is to intimidate them and make them fear you. One month after Fang Zhicheng took office, he chose the second method. This unexpected behavior broke the established rules of Xiaguang District.
Ma Zhendong had originally only retired to the second line and held a concurrent position in the CPPCC. After this incident, he applied for internal retirement and became a retired cadre. This is also a signal that the Xiaguang District Government has completely stepped out of the "Ma era" and entered a new era.
Liu Rong left the position of deputy district chief of Xiaguang District, resulting in a vacancy for the position of district chief, and many people were vying for it. Fang Zhicheng had to admire the magic of power. There were people waiting at his doorstep for a long time just for this rare opportunity.
After breaking up with Zuo Leng, Fang Zhicheng asked Guo Jinyuan to take him back to the hotel, and he and Ye Qingrou returned to the community. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a man and a woman standing in front of the door, talking in a low voice.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng appear, the middle-aged man smiled humbly and said, "Director Fang, I've finally seen you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Xiaoliang from the Statistics Bureau."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and recalled Zhang Xiaoliang's information. He was the director of the Statistics Bureau and should be around 42 years old this year. The Statistics Bureau was a poor government office with no money to make and no political achievements to speak of, so it was extremely difficult to make further progress.
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Zhang Xiaoliang indifferently, opened the door, and invited him, "Come in and sit down."
Fang Zhicheng was in need of troops, and although he was a little disgusted with Zhang Xiaoliang's rash visit, he still needed to maintain an attitude of recruiting talents, so that he could recruit talents. Zhang Xiaoliang was the first person to take the initiative to come to the door and recommend himself, so Fang Zhicheng naturally couldn't close the door and avoid him.
After entering the house, Zhang Xiaoliang changed his shoes and looked at his wife. He could see her surprise because he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng's residence to be so elegant and luxurious. They came here with red envelopes today. From the luxurious decoration, it can be seen that Fang Zhicheng is a man with no shortage of money, so the thickness of the red envelope inevitably looks shabby, and he can't help but worry whether the matter can be done.
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the bag in Zhang Xiaoliang's wife's hand and saw that she placed it next to the sofa. Without saying much, he smiled and asked Ye Qingrou to go back to the bedroom. He boiled water and made tea to entertain Zhang Xiaoliang and his wife.
"Comrade Xiaoliang, what's the matter that brings you to see me so late? Although it's time to get off work, if the situation is serious, I will help you deal with it immediately." Fang Zhicheng handed two cups of tea to the two and said slowly.
Zhang Xiaoliang coughed and said, "District Head Fang, the work of the Statistics Bureau has always been on the edge of government work, so I rarely see you. You have been the district head for so long, and I haven't had a good discussion with you about my work ideas, so I came here this time to report to you on my work."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, interrupted Zhang Xiaoliang, and said seriously: "Comrade Xiaoliang, I don't agree with some of your words. Who said that statistical work is marginal? I think statistics are of great significance in guiding the government on how to carry out its work. In terms of economic construction, the number of large and medium-sized enterprises in Xiaguang District is how many, and the proportion of manufacturing enterprises and commercial and trade circulation enterprises are how many. It has great significance for Xiaguang's investment promotion and later industrial layout. But the premise is that the statistical work must be accurate, and not only data, but also analysis, to put forward constructive suggestions for the later development of government work."
Zhang Xiaoliang didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to speak so sharply. He was just modestly making self-deprecating remarks about his work, but Fang Zhicheng scolded him harshly.
Fang Zhicheng didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, and said in a soothing tone: "Although I haven't been to the District Statistics Bureau for research, I still know the situation. Now it has become a nursing home. There are ten staff members, but only two or three are doing the work. I think there are two reasons for this situation. First, the relevant leaders did not pay enough attention to statistical work in the past, allowing the Statistics Bureau to form a lax working atmosphere; second, the Statistics Bureau itself lacks awareness. Comrade Xiaoliang, as the head of the Statistics Bureau, you have an unshirkable responsibility."
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Xiaoliang's forehead. He had come here today to get close to Fang Zhicheng and see if he could make further progress in the district government's job adjustment process. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhicheng criticized him harshly and pointed out his shortcomings in his work. Doesn't this tell him that it is impossible to make further progress
Fang Zhicheng watched Zhang Xiaoliang's facial expression and his every move. When he saw that he was fidgeting, he changed his tone, sighed softly, and said, "Of course, I also know that you have difficulties. In recent years, Xiaguang District has not invested enough funds in statistical work, and the staff's work enthusiasm is not high. That is also due to complicated relationships, not your will. Judging from last year's statistical report, the Statistics Bureau remained objective and fair when investigating and collecting data, and did not falsify data, providing scientific data support for the district to carry out various tasks. Statistical work is boring and monotonous. It is already remarkable to be able to achieve such a level. I still admire your ability."
Zhang Xiaoliang wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you for the comfort from District Chief Fang. I know that I still have many shortcomings in my work. After receiving your instructions today, I will definitely find the problems and improve the many shortcomings I have now."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaoliang, I believe you can do a good job in statistics with this attitude."
Zhang Xiaoliang originally wanted to bring up the possibility of further advancement in the process of government work changes, but Fang Zhicheng controlled the right to speak from beginning to end, and he had no chance to bring up the topic. He could only smile and say, "I have benefited a lot from communicating with you, Director Fang, today. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you and will go back first."
Fang Zhicheng stood up and said, "You are welcome to visit us often in the future." Then, he came to the sofa, picked up the bag and handed it to Zhang Xiaoliang, and said, "Take the things back. If you don't take them back, you don't have to come next time."
Zhang Xiaoliang was completely overwhelmed by Fang Zhicheng's aura, and hurriedly took the bag timidly. His wife tried to refuse, but Zhang Xiaoliang pulled his wife out of the house.
"Why have you become such a coward? He asked you to take the gift back, and you took it back?" complained his wife Lu Xiaofen.
Zhang Xiaoliang said with a bitter face: "Listen to what he says. Didn't you see his attitude? He is very strong and doesn't allow anyone to breathe. If I don't take back the gift, I'm afraid the Discipline Inspection Commission will come to me for tea tomorrow."
Lu Xiaofen pursed her lips and said, "With your guts, you'll just be a section chief with no real power for the rest of your life."
Zhang Xiaoliang smacked his lips and pondered for a while, then suddenly a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Wife, I've thought about it carefully, and something is wrong."
"What's wrong? I think you have a problem with your brain!" Lu Xiaofen said dissatisfiedly. Zhang Xiaoliang came to visit Fang Zhicheng today because she had forced him to come. Lu Xiaofen works at the city radio station and is a news editor. She is particularly sensitive to political information. Her husband has spent many years in a regular position, and she vaguely feels that this is an opportunity.
Zhang Xiaoliang licked his dry lips and analyzed, "If I want to give someone below me a chance to be promoted, I won't say it directly. Instead, I will let him know how precious it is for me to fight for this position for him. So when communicating with him, I will put pressure on him and let him know that he has many shortcomings. Later, when he gets the answer he has been dreaming of, he will be more loyal to you and grateful."
Lu Xiaofen probably understood what her husband meant. "You mean Fang Zhicheng is hitting you with a club now, but he will give you a piece of candy later."
Zhang Xiaoliang nodded and said, "This is a common method used by people who are subordinate to me. If he has no opinion of me at all, why would he say so many words to me?"
Seeing her husband's confident look, Lu Xiaofen sighed and said, "You officials are too complicated in your behavior. I don't know those unspoken rules. However, I remind you that you must stand in the right line this time. Fang Zhicheng is not simple and has a strong background in the province. If you can make it to his list, you will have unlimited potential in the future."
Zhang Xiaoliang secretly sighed that his wife's desire for power was even stronger than his own, and he sighed helplessly, "I know, I will do my best."
Chapter 0478: Borrowing Dongtai to Attract Investment
On Friday, Fang Zhicheng rushed from Hanzhou to Yunhai. This trip had two purposes: first, to escort Ye Qingrou back to university. The girl seemed to want to stay in Hanzhou, and no matter how hard or soft he tried, she refused to go back, so he had to do it himself and drive her back to Yunhai; second, to try to open up a channel for attracting investment in Hanzhou. His greatest resource now was the relationships he had accumulated in Dongtai. Yunhai was a frontier for attracting investment, and a trip there in person might bring unexpected opportunities to Hanzhou.
Fang Zhicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending Ye Qingrou to the dormitory. He now has a lot of work to do every day, and occasionally meeting Ye Qingrou is a kind of adjustment to his life. If he is with her every day, it will become a pressure.
Back in the car, Shang Yan asked with a smile: "Boss, Miss Ye is your girlfriend, right?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "You can think so."
Shang Yan commented: "You can tell that she likes you very much. When she was in the car, her eyes hardly left you. Women are actually very simple. Once they like someone, their eyes will betray them."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Then I have to pay attention next time to see if you behave the same way when you are with your boyfriend."
Shang Yan blushed and said, "Boss, I don't have a boyfriend yet."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Shang, don't lie to me. A few days ago, I saw a boy holding a bouquet of flowers waiting for you outside the government compound."
Shang Yan quickly denied it: "I haven't accepted him yet, so he can't be considered my boyfriend."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "That's right. Before a girl accepts a man, she should test him in all aspects. Otherwise, it will be difficult to train him after he achieves his goal."
Shang Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "Boss, I didn't expect you to know this."
When Guo Jinyuan heard Shang Yan say this, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. As Fang Zhicheng's driver, he knew how many unusual relationships Fang Zhicheng had with women.
