Attitude determines everything. Fang Zhicheng plans to stay in Yunhai Time for not too long this time. After all, there are still a lot of things waiting for him in Xiaguang District, so their schedule is very full.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "In that case, let's put the lunch together in the evening and I will treat you to a big meal."
Shang Yan heard Fang Zhicheng say this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Boss, I might eat it, don't feel bad then!"
Chapter 0481 Conquering the First Chess Piece
Fang Zhicheng stayed in Yunhai for only three days because he was not confident about the rear positions. After returning to Xiaguang, as expected, Mo Jin did several extraordinary things during his absence. When the district chief was away, the executive deputy district chief could exercise the power of the district chief, which meant that the government work would be completely controlled by Mo Jin during this period.
The first thing Mo Jin did was to identify the construction company for the small streets and alleys, public toilets, and garbage transfer stations in Xiaguang District, which was a state-owned enterprise in the city. Fang Zhicheng originally planned to implement this construction plan through bidding, but he did not expect Mo Jin to catch him off guard and take the initiative to communicate with Deng Shaoqun, and finally finalized the matter.
The construction project of sanitation facilities such as public toilets and garbage transfer stations was established in accordance with the spirit of the municipal office documents and for the needs of creating a national sanitary city. The project funding is about 15 million yuan, with the district investing 7.5 million yuan and the city investing 7.5 million yuan. It can be considered a medium-sized district government project.
Deng Shaoqun naturally gave the project to the city's enterprises in the spirit of keeping the wealth within the family, but Fang Zhicheng had his own considerations. He originally wanted to integrate the concept of urban operators into the district government construction of Xiaguang District. Auxiliary projects like these should also be given to urban operators for comprehensive design and construction. Now it has undoubtedly become very passive, with fewer packaged government projects and less government matching funds, which means one less bargaining chip in the negotiation process with investors.
The second thing was that Mo Jin signed the lease agreement for the district government guesthouse. The Xiaguang District Government Guesthouse has a good location, but it has been hit by the market in the past two years. If it were not for the government's support, it would have been unsustainable. Since last year, the district government has been preparing to get rid of this burden. Before Fang Zhicheng took office, the lease agreement had been basically finalized. Mo Jin had asked Fang Zhicheng to sign it before, but Fang Zhicheng always refused.
Fang Zhicheng naturally knew that there was a trap in this agreement. He did not participate in the negotiation process, and he did not know what details the lessor and the main leaders at that time discussed. If he signed his name, he would have to bear the responsibility, and he just happened to be a scapegoat. However, this matter dragged on for a long time, and Mo Jin finally couldn't stand the pressure from the rental house, and took advantage of Fang Zhicheng's absence from Xiaguang District to sign on his behalf.
Of course, this incident may not have much impact on Fang Zhicheng, but it will still have consequences. If there is any dispute in the district guesthouse later, the final person responsible will still be himself, the squad leader.
There were some other minor matters, but Mo Jin took over and handled them for him. Fang Zhicheng said nothing, but he was very annoyed. No one could tolerate the loss of power, especially Fang Zhicheng, who was still a passionate young man.
Fang Zhicheng browsed through the documents, sighed, and walked back from the toilet. He passed by the office of Deputy District Chief Cheng Hao and pushed the door open. Cheng Hao was standing behind his secretary, instructing him to revise the written materials. When he saw Fang Zhicheng walk in with a smile on his face, he was slightly startled and hurriedly said, "Hello, District Chief Fang!"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, walked over to take a look at the materials, picked up a pen from the table, circled a few places, threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "I saw that your office is quite lively, so I came over to sit down. What's wrong? You don't welcome me?"
"How could that be?" Cheng Hao was a little caught off guard. At the district chiefs' regular meeting some time ago, Fang Zhicheng took the initiative to show goodwill to him. He also knew that Fang Zhicheng was throwing an olive branch. However, Cheng Hao was cautious by nature. More importantly, he was too disdainful to take sides and seek peace, so he did not cater to Fang Zhicheng.
Cheng Hao is rather pedantic. It is not easy for him to be in the officialdom for so many years and become the deputy district chief. Some leaders in the city admire officials like Cheng Hao who have a strong sense of justice, but this does not mean that Cheng Hao's luck will always be good. He will basically have difficulty moving up.
Cheng Hao glanced at the material that Fang Zhicheng had just revised. The revision was not very large, but it got to the point and gave people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. He knew that Fang Zhicheng used to be a secretary, and thought to himself that the new district chief was indeed quite capable, at least in terms of writing skills, no worse than an ordinary secretary.
Cheng Hao took the initiative to invite: "Director Fang, please come into my room and have a cup of tea."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "I'm afraid you don't have any good tea here? Xiao Zhu, go to my office to find Shang Yan and ask her to bring my jar of Maojian over."
Not long after, Shang Yan came to the office with a box of tea cans and made tea for the two of them. Fang Zhicheng saw Shang Yan preparing to take the tea cans away and joked, "Xiao Shang, why are you so stingy? Since you brought the tea here, why would you take it away? Wouldn't you be laughed at by District Chief Cheng?"
Shang Yan's eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "Boss, this is your favorite tea. I didn't expect you to be so generous, so I saved it for you."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Shang Yan was really good at talking. She cooperated with him tacitly and did him a favor. He pointed at the coffee table and said, "Just leave it. It's because I cherish it that I took it out to share with District Chief Cheng."
Although Cheng Hao was pedantic, he was not stupid. He heard the hidden meaning of Fang Zhicheng's words and said with a smile, "A gentleman does not take away what others like. Why don't you let Secretary Shang take it back, District Chief Fang?"
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Cheng Hao was too stubborn. No wonder he had a bad reputation among people. If it were him, even if he was unwilling, he would not refuse something given to him by his superiors. This would undoubtedly be a disguised way of embarrassing his superiors.
However, Fang Zhicheng was not an ordinary person. He smiled faintly and said to Shang Yan: "Don't listen to the district chief. He is just being polite. Leave the tea and you can go."
After hearing what Fang Zhicheng said, Cheng Hao could no longer refuse. He smiled and said nothing more.
Fang Zhicheng looked around Cheng Hao's office. The furnishings were relatively simple. There were only a few folders on the bookshelf behind the desk, and there were not many books. He asked in confusion, "Doesn't the General Affairs Department provide some books to each office every year? Why is yours empty? Did the General Affairs Department forget about you?"
Cheng Hao waved his hand and explained with a smile: "Originally, they sent some books over, but I felt they were too cumbersome. I am so busy at work that I don't have time to read in the office, so I asked them to take them away. Books are good things, but if they are placed on the bookshelf as a decoration, it will seem too pretentious."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "Laocheng, you are an honest man."
Cheng Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Being honest is not a good thing, especially here. If you are not careful, you will offend people."
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "You are right. If you are the only one in this world who sticks to principles, and everyone else doesn't, then it would appear that you are the one who doesn't understand the rules."
"Rules and principles?" Cheng Hao laughed at himself. "I have long lost the distinction. I only know to act according to my conscience. I don't ask for favors from others. I just want to have a clear conscience."
Fang Zhicheng could feel that Cheng Hao's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he said with emotion: "What a good sentence, 'a clear conscience'. To be honest, Lao Cheng, I admire you very much. You have been in the officialdom longer than me, and you have been able to keep it spotless. This is not easy."
Cheng Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't imitate me. I am just a weirdo. I am afraid that everyone in Xiaguang District sees me like this."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled: "Since you said so, it means you are not blameful. I think you handle some problems deliberately for others to see, just to keep a certain obsession in your heart."
Cheng Hao didn't expect to have such an in-depth conversation with Fang Zhicheng. He smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it deeply. I just think that some things should be done and some things can't be done."
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am confident that you will definitely approve of what I invite you to do with me."
Cheng Hao thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng had gone through a lot of trouble and finally solved the mystery. He smiled and said, "Will District Chief Fang tell us more?"
Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea and said, "I think Mo Jin's position is more suitable for you."
Cheng Hao opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to be so direct after changing the subject. Mo Jin is now the second squad leader of the Xiaguang District Government. Cheng Hao ranks last among the deputy district chiefs. According to Fang Zhicheng's idea, he actually wanted to replace Mo Jin with himself. This idea seemed too bold.
Although the district mayor has great power in government work, the position of executive deputy district mayor is not something that the district mayor can decide. This requires arrangements by the district party committee standing committee or even the municipal party committee.
Cheng Hao smiled bitterly and said, "District Chief Fang, you have painted a very big pie for me!"
Fang Zhicheng said: "I am also telling the truth. Among all the current deputy district chiefs, only you can take over his position and do a good job as the executive deputy district chief."
Cheng Hao stared at Fang Zhicheng seriously, "Do you really think so?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Please believe me."
