Zhang Zhijia sighed and said, "A doctor came out just now and said it was food poisoning."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Everyone has eaten the food, so why didn't anyone else react?"
Zhang Zhijia said in a deep voice: "So I suspect someone specifically poisoned Minister Wan."
Fang Zhicheng's face showed a solemn expression, and he asked, "Has Minister Wan offended anyone recently?"
Zhang Zhijia smiled bitterly and said, "He is in such a key position, and he has offended too many people. Every time there is a personnel arrangement, some are happy and some are sad. Especially since last year, Secretary Lanshan decided to carry out the rectification work with the Organization Department as the core in the whole city, and now people are transferred almost every day. Everyone will naturally be jealous of the Organization Department, and you also know Minister Wan's personality."
Fang Zhicheng nodded. Wan Heng was a very proud person. When some officials were faced with adjustments, they would definitely take the initiative to come to Wan Heng to seek a glimmer of hope. With Wan Heng's character, he would probably reject them and not give them any room for maneuver. His character could easily make people want revenge.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "People who do such extreme things have motives. You might as well carefully sort out who has had a major dispute with Minister Wan recently, and then look for a breakthrough from this point."
Zhang Zhijia fell into deep thought. Wan Heng's accident had a great impact on him. For a secretary, leaders share the same fate. Whether from an emotional or interest perspective, Zhang Zhijia hoped that Wan Heng would be fine.
Fang Zhicheng returned to the door of the emergency room and, with the introduction of Zhang Zhijia, greeted Wan Heng's family. Wan Heng's wife was a beautiful mature woman who was well-maintained. According to Wan Heng's age, she was at least over 45 years old, but her face looked to be in her early 30s. She was wearing a khaki woolen coat, her hair was tied up high, and her face was only lightly made up. If you look closely at the corners of her eyes, you can vaguely see the traces of time.
There were marks on the corners of Tang Xue's eyes, and her face looked a little bad. Fang Zhicheng comforted her, "Sister-in-law, please rest assured, Minister Wan will be fine."
Tang Xue showed a look of grief on her face and said, "I hope so, but Lao Wan has been in the operating room for more than ten hours, and I have prepared for the worst."
Fang Zhicheng sat outside with Tang Xue and continued to wait. Xiang Xin came over halfway. Xiang Xin was the director of the Public Security Bureau and had worked in criminal investigation before. Fang Zhicheng felt that something was fishy, so he asked Xiang Xin to arrange for someone to investigate carefully. Although the Municipal Bureau had already arranged for someone to investigate, Fang Zhicheng was not very reassured and thought it would be better to let his own people investigate.
He and Wan Heng did not have a deep friendship, but from a factional perspective, he was his biggest ally in Hanzhou. Whether it was when he first took office or now, Wan Heng had provided him with help. Now that Wan Heng was in trouble, Fang Zhicheng could not sit idly by.
At about half past ten, the door of the emergency room was finally opened. The attending doctor showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "The patient is out of danger for the time being, but the cause of the disease is heavy metal poisoning. We have done our best. How well he can recover depends on his willpower and the effect of his recovery."
Tang Xue showed a complicated expression on her face and asked, "If the recovery is not good, what serious consequences will there be?"
The doctor said with regret: "After ingestion, heavy metals sink directly into the liver and destroy the human brain, nerves and vision..."
Tang Xue sighed softly: "As long as people are still alive, there is always hope."
The doctor said, "The patient needs to be admitted to the intensive care unit for observation, so family members cannot visit him for the time being. You can visit him after his condition is completely stabilized, right?"
Fang Zhicheng looked at Tang Xue silently and could see that she had a deep relationship with Wan Heng, because some details were hard to deceive.
…
In the Qionghan Integration Office, Jiang Yong, director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, sat on the sofa, and Jin Feng sat opposite him, making tea with a smile. Jiang Yong took a sip of the strong tea and said slowly, "Xiao Jin, I came to the Integration Office today just to see the situation here. You did a good job and kept everything in order. I am relieved."
Jin Feng sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Leader, you should come here more often, otherwise, our colleagues in the same city office will think they have been abandoned."
Jiang Yong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Abandon? What are you talking about? This year, Secretary Wen once again emphasized the importance of Qionghan Integration at the provincial economic work conference. As the department in charge, you will receive more attention. I came here today to share some good news. This year, the government will increase financial support for integration, because Secretary Wen personally applied for nearly 10 billion yuan in funds from the ministries and commissions."
Jin Feng was also quite shocked when he heard the news, but after thinking about it, he roughly knew the operation process. Wen Jinglong personally went to the ministries and commissions, and with Vice Premier Li Siyuan acting as a middleman in the ministries and commissions, it was natural for him to get such a huge amount of funds.
This news also shows that the two previous provincial party secretaries were highly consistent in their efforts on the Qiong-Han integration project.
Jin Feng did not show joy on his face, but a trace of regret, "Director Jiang, you also know that after the rectification last year, the City Office has lost control over the city integration project. So even if the country and the province attach great importance to it, the role of the City Office is better than nothing."
Jiang Yong knew what Jin Feng meant. The current City Office has indeed become a decoration. It has no supervisory power. The approval of project funds is ultimately reviewed by the provincial finance department. Major funds still need to be discussed and approved by the provincial party committee. Therefore, the City Office is in name only and only serves as an intermediate bridge.
Jiang Yong lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Jin, power is actually a very interesting thing. Sometimes it is related to the position, but sometimes it is not. I came to you today to discuss something with you. The Railway Office is facing adjustments. Are you willing to accept a heavier burden?"
Jin Feng had known about this news, but he didn't expect it to be related to him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Director Jiang, I like to stick to one thing. Although the local office has encountered some problems temporarily, I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough."
Jiang Yong could see through Jin Feng's thoughts. The Railway Office and the City Office were on the same level. If he went there, it would be very difficult to get a full-time job. If he just went there to hold a position, there would be no need at all.
Jiang Yong said calmly: "The Intra-city Office has become an empty shell, and the Commission has also realized this problem. The Railway Office is another way out. Xiao Jin, you are a talent, and I am very optimistic about you. I will give you another piece of soil, and I believe you will be able to show your strengths. At the same time, I also revealed a piece of news. The Railway Office was adjusted this time to specifically open up intra-city transportation."
Jin Feng originally had his eyes on the achievements that the city integration project would bring in three to five years. Although his power was limited now, the future was bright. But at this moment, Jin Feng smelled a glimmer of opportunity. He guessed, "Is the Provincial Railway Group facing restructuring?"
Jiang Yong did not respond directly, but just nodded slightly.
Jin Feng was overjoyed. There is always a way out. The local office encountered obstacles, but unexpectedly, there was light at the end of the tunnel. God gave him another chance.
The province had been preparing to open up key hubs for suburban transportation a few years ago, and the Development and Reform Commission, as the main leading department, had heavy responsibilities. If I could take the opportunity to join the Railway Office, I would be able to get into the heart of Huainan Province's transportation, and then slowly move from a nominal position to a real one.
Transportation is the key to urban development, and railway transportation can bring unlimited potential to the city. Jiang Yong may not be able to keep up with local officials in Huainan in other economic forms, but as a cadre from the north, he has studied transportation thoroughly. So he proposed that the Railway Construction Office of the Development and Reform Commission should be repositioned, and Wen Jinglong agreed.
In this new position, Jiang Yong had to appoint someone he trusted, and after comprehensive consideration, he chose Jin Feng. Because Jin Feng, like himself, had a close relationship with Wen Jinglong, and he had been working in the early stages of the city office, and he was a young man with skills and courage.
After thinking for a long time, Jin Feng finally nodded and said, "Director Jiang, I have thought it through. I am willing to try another place."
Jiang Yong smiled with satisfaction and said, "During the New Year, I talked to your father on the phone. Minister Jin is very concerned about your performance in Huainan. I hope you won't let him down."
Jin Feng was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Director Jiang, thank you for your care."
This year, Jin Feng returned to Liancheng to celebrate the New Year. He always felt that the atmosphere was a little different, and he was a little anxious. After hearing what Jiang Yong said, his original worries were relieved a lot. His father was willing to say hello to Jiang Yong for him, which at least showed that he still valued his growth in his career.
Chapter 0608: Helping Wan Heng in His Time of Need
On Friday morning, Fang Zhicheng went to the hospital to visit Wan Heng. Although Wan Heng was awake, he was not fully recovered. This heavy metal poisoning was very cruel and could damage a person's nervous system. Wan Heng spoke very slowly and unnaturally. Fang Zhicheng could not help but feel chilled to see that the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister, who originally had unlimited potential, had become a person who had difficulty even speaking.
Wan Heng needed to rest, so Fang Zhicheng exchanged a few words with him and then left the ward. Tang Xue followed him out, wiped her eyes, and said, "Secretary Fang, thank you for coming to see him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I work with Minister Wan, so how can I not come to see him?"
