Cheng Hao was obviously touched. A gentleman will die for his confidant. Fang Zhicheng valued Cheng Hao very much and understood his character and talents.
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng and Cheng Hao talked about other issues. From Cheng Hao's reaction, Mo Jin has been quite law-abiding recently and has not shown any unusual behavior.
According to normal people's logic, Ma Zhencai has been dismissed, and Mo Jin should also be weakened to a certain extent. However, Fang Zhicheng saw the deeper problems in the Xiaguang District. It is extremely xenophobic and has formed a climate. If Fang Zhicheng catches them all in one fell swoop, it is very likely that the other party will do something desperate. Fang Zhicheng could not predict the final consequences, so he chose to appease Mo Jin.
As long as Mo Jin did not openly oppose him, Fang Zhicheng was willing to give him a suitable position. The lenient treatment of Mo Jin was actually Fang Zhicheng's appeasement of Ma Zhencai's faction.
Judging from the current situation, Xiaguang District has been initially controlled by Fang Zhicheng. Although there are still some hidden dangers, at least on the surface, Fang Zhicheng, with the support of Xia Lanshan, has gained a firm foothold.
Judging from the composition of the district committee standing committee, CPPCC Chairman Liu Jinping is not involved in much affairs and is just a decoration. Although the district committee deputy secretary Yin Xuewen is scheming, he is a person who knows the general trend and will not oppose him unless his fundamental interests are affected. District Party Committee Organization Minister Yu Jinping has been firmly controlled by him. Although Discipline Inspection Committee Secretary Liu Ming and Political and Legal Committee Secretary Zhang Quan occasionally express different opinions at the standing committee meeting, even if the two of them stick together, they cannot change the situation of the standing committee. As for the district party committee propaganda minister Yu Guoliang and United Front Minister Kong Furong, these two have always been opportunistic and have no opinions of their own.
Fang Zhicheng processed some documents, and Jiang Pei came in to report, "Secretary Chen is here."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "Please ask him to come in."
Deng Shaoqun's secretary Chen Chao played a key role in the final battle between him and Deng Shaoqun. However, a secretary cannot easily turn against his leader, because once his leader falls, his life will not be easy.
Chen Chao looked much more haggard than he did before. He used to be a capable and well-dressed man, but now he had a beard all over his face, his complexion was yellowish and black, and his eyes were a little absent-minded. Fang Zhicheng guessed that Chen Chao had not had a good time recently.
"Please sit down!" Fang Zhicheng made a cup of tea for Chen Chao and asked him to sit on the sofa.
Chen Chao laughed at himself and said, "Secretary Fang, first of all I have to say hello to you. I'm afraid that my rash visit will disturb your normal work."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Secretary Chen, it's not the first day we've known each other, there's no need for so many polite words. You might as well tell me directly, why did you come to see me today?"
Chen Chao thought for a moment and said slowly: "Secretary Fang, I'm telling you the truth. I came here today to recommend myself and ask you for an official position."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Interesting, go on."
Chen Chao said in a steady tone: "I used to be Deng Shaoqun's secretary, and I am very familiar with Xiaguang District. If you can give me a platform, I will definitely be able to show my strengths."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "But this is the officialdom. You know better than anyone that sometimes whether or not to promote a person is not based on his ability and talent."
Chen Chao said decisively: "I am loyal enough."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "But you are not loyal to Deng Shaoqun."
Chen Chao quickly replied, "That's because he doesn't deserve my loyalty. I've been with him for so many years, and he's never considered me. I knew he was hopeless, but I still followed him into the water. That's not loyalty, but stupidity."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "You still can't convince me."
Chen Chao said: "I can't convince you for now, because only practical actions can convince you. So I ask you to give me a chance to make achievements."
Fang Zhicheng admired Chen Chao's straightforwardness and asked, "What opportunity do you want?"
Chen Chao raised his head, met Fang Zhicheng's gaze, and whispered, "The position of director of the district party committee office is still vacant."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "That's an extremely critical position."
Chen Chao said: "This position is right under your nose, which allows you to better supervise and observe me."
Fang Zhicheng closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll give you this chance."
Chapter 0605: Gathering the Troubled Hearts
Fang Zhicheng has observed Chen Chao and found that he is definitely a talent. Both his ability to coordinate and his ability to execute are outstanding in the entire Xiaguang District. When Deng Shaoqun was in this position, he didn't care about many things because he had a capable assistant, Chen Chao.
Chen Chao knows the situation in Xiaguang District very well, and is familiar with all the directly affiliated units and township streets. He is like an extended arm and eyes of Deng Shaoqun, and can help Deng Shaoqun make plans. Chen Chao's administrative level is at the section level. In addition to being Deng Shaoqun's secretary, he also serves as the deputy director of the District Party Committee Office. The previous director of the District Party Committee Office was also slightly suppressed by Chen Chao. In short, Chen Chao has always been the head of the Xiaguang District Party Committee Office.
If Chen Chao takes this position, there is no need to talk about his ability. However, there is a big taboo in the officialdom. Chen Chao was originally Deng Shaoqun's man. Even if Chen Chao turned against Deng Shaoqun at a critical moment, this would not eliminate the factional mark left on Chen Chao. If he keeps such a person by his side, the risk is too great. Can Fang Zhicheng control him
Chen Chao's words were very skillful. His meaning was simple: although the position of director of the district party committee office was important, it was under your nose. Since you questioned my loyalty, it would be better to keep me by your side than to let me go.
Everyone values talent. Chen Chao is a talent, and Fang Zhicheng is now in a new position and is in need of such capable people.
Fang Zhicheng finally decided to give Chen Chao a chance. "Old Chen, you have successfully convinced me. But I have conditions."
Chen Chao was delighted, thinking that his desperate move had finally succeeded. As he had analyzed, Fang Zhicheng was a man of character. He did not play by the rules and had his own unique way of doing things. If he had not taken the initiative to find Fang Zhicheng, he would never have had a chance. But if he had found Fang Zhicheng and told him his thoughts, he would have a chance of survival.
Chen Chao sat upright and said solemnly, "Secretary Fang, please give me your orders!"
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "The working style and management model of the District Committee Office are very rigid. I will give you one month. You must start from the root and make a brand new change to the entire District Committee. You have worked in Xiaguang for so many years. I believe you have your own understanding of the problem, and you also know how to solve the current situation."
Chen Chao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Fang, I understand what you mean."
After Chen Chao left, Fang Zhicheng called Zhang Xiaoliang. Zhang Xiaoliang was listening to a work report at the District Education Bureau. When he saw that it was Fang Zhicheng calling, he hurried out of the office and whispered, "Boss, what can I do for you?"
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "Chen Chao came to my office just now. It was you who gave him the idea, right?"
Zhang Xiaoliang smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. Boss, didn't you make a request to me last time? You wanted me to build a network of relationships as soon as possible. So I took advantage of the situation. Chen Chao has deep roots in Xiaguang District. If we can make good use of him, it will be very beneficial to controlling Xiaguang District."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that it was not surprising. Chen Chao came to his house today. He was afraid that Zhang Xiaoliang was fanning the flames. Fang Zhicheng did not dislike his behavior, but he still had to tell Zhang Xiaoliang to be careful about some things. After all, he had already plotted against him.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Old Zhang, Chen Chao is indeed a talent, but I will only give him one month to produce results. If he fails to meet my requirements, you, as the recommender, will have no choice but to take responsibility."
Zhang Xiaoliang smiled bitterly. He was also a smart man. He quickly realized why Fang Zhicheng said that and promised: "Please trust my judgment. Chen Chao will definitely satisfy you."
After Chen Chao left the district party secretary's office, he felt a little complicated. Just as Zhang Xiaoliang had suggested to him, Fang Zhicheng indeed agreed to give him a chance. However, if he wanted to give the Xiaguang District a completely new way of operating, it was not a trivial matter and required a lot of pressure.
