Fang Zhicheng deliberately delayed his work time by half an hour before arriving at the district committee compound. He did not go directly to his office, but first walked around the conference room. As expected, a meeting was being held in the conference room. There were several people standing at the door of the conference room chatting. They were all secretaries of the district committee standing committee members. Fang Zhicheng could tell who was in the meeting from the secretaries.
Cheng Hao and Zhang Xiaoliang's secretaries were not here, so today's meeting was held without Fang Zhicheng's direct subordinates.
Someone saw Fang Zhicheng first. Fang Zhicheng could clearly feel his pupils dilate and he looked surprised. Then he subconsciously wanted to go into the office.
Fang Zhicheng quickened his pace and reached the door in just three or two steps. His eyes swept across the faces of the secretaries, and they immediately knew that Fang Zhicheng was telling them not to act rashly.
Fang Zhicheng opened the door a crack, and a voice came from inside. Yu Jinping, the district party secretary, said loudly: "Although the provincial department has not yet characterized and reported Comrade Fang Zhicheng's problems, we must now prepare emergency measures. The district party secretary has been isolated for investigation, and the news has spread widely in Xiaguang. This has had a serious and adverse impact. The people now have extremely little trust in the government. In this situation, we must actively respond."
Mo Jin glanced around calmly and said, "Old Yu is right. We should think about how to deal with the aftermath."
The implication of Yu Jinping and Mo Jin's words was clear: Fang Zhicheng had been placed under quarantine for investigation, and now the government must have a new representative to eliminate the negative impact.
Yin Xuewen, the deputy secretary of the district committee, was a shrewd man. He raised his glasses and said, "District Chief Mo, you are the most senior person here. Comrade Fang Zhicheng is in trouble now, so naturally you should temporarily lead our team."
Mo Jin frowned. He didn't want to be the one to take the lead. Although it was unlikely that Fang Zhicheng would return safely now, it was better to be safe than sorry. Mo Jin had a shadow in his heart.
However, Yu Jinping, as the head of the Organization Department, had already organized this temporary meeting, and as the second-in-command, he had to face the current embarrassing situation. This is what is called "one cannot decide for oneself when in the arena".
Seeing Mo Jin's hesitation, Yu Jinping said, "Chief Mo, you are now the real backbone of Xiaguang, so don't hesitate. All of us here follow your lead. Everything is for the government and the people. Please take over Comrade Fang Zhicheng's position temporarily and exercise the power of squad leader."
If there was still no news from Fang Zhicheng after another ten days or half a month, Mo Jin would definitely take over the baton of power. However, only one day later, Mo Jin seized power, which was a bit too hasty.
Mo Jin looked around and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Zhicheng is not here. As the district head, I naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. But I cannot take over the corresponding work of the district party secretary for the time being, because it does not comply with the organizational regulations."
Yu Jinping frowned, thinking that Mo Jin was indeed afraid of being suppressed by Fang Zhicheng. Now Fang Zhicheng has been isolated for investigation, and he is still afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. However, Yu Jinping didn't have many ways. He wanted to push Mo Jin to move up a step, but he didn't dare to go up, so he had no other choice.
Yu Jinping is now relaxed. Although Fang Zhicheng never deliberately made things difficult for him when he was in office, Yu Jinping knows that he could be put on the bench by Fang Zhicheng at any time because of some action. And Yu Jinping knows that no matter how hard he tries, it will be extremely difficult for him to make further progress under Fang Zhicheng.
Yu Jinping originally thought that he had reached a dead end and his career prospects were bleak, but things finally turned around and Fang Zhicheng was isolated for investigation. He was originally a very rational person, but at this moment he could no longer bear the restlessness in his heart and organized this special meeting.
The content of the meeting was nominally about the follow-up work after Fang Zhicheng was isolated for investigation, but from the fact that Cheng Hao and Zhang Xiaoliang were not invited to the scene, it can be known that Yu Jinping had drawn a line when organizing the meeting to exclude Fang Zhicheng's original forces.
Mo Jin was just about to adjourn the meeting when his cell phone suddenly vibrated. He took the phone out of his pocket and looked at it. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he was relieved.
Mo Jin smiled and said, "I have good news for you all. Secretary Fang has just returned to the district committee to work normally. The investigation was concluded so quickly, which fully proves that the investigation by the Supervision Office was just a formality and not as serious as everyone imagined. At the same time, we must give Secretary Fang full trust, take him as the core, and do our job well. Since Secretary Fang has returned, there is no need to continue this meeting. Let's adjourn!"
After Mo Jin left the office, Yu Jinping's face was still unresponsive. When his eyes fell on the faces of the standing committee members who were walking out of the meeting room, he could vaguely feel the coldness emanating from those people's eyes.
If Yu Jinping's behavior happened in an ancient palace, it would be considered a coup, which is a taboo in officialdom.
After leaving the meeting room, Yu Jinping called Zhao Ling immediately. Yu Jinping is a very smart person. He was highly valued by Deng Shaoqun at the beginning, which shows that he is very smooth in dealing with things. Now he made a wrong step, and there is a reason for it. Executive Vice Mayor Zhao Ling met with him in person last night and gave him some instructions.
Without Deng Shaoqun's support, Yu Jinping once thought that he had no hope of promotion. Zhao Ling took the initiative to lend a helping hand, which made Yu Jinping ecstatic, so he did what he just did in a daze.
Yu Jinping was a little panicked, but definitely not desperate. After all, he still had Zhao Liang.
Zhao Ling answered the phone and waited patiently for Yu Jinping to finish speaking. He frowned and asked, "What did you say? Fang Zhicheng was released?"
Yu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "It has been confirmed. And Mo Jin was smart and didn't take the bait."
Zhao Ling sneered and said, "Fang Zhicheng is really lucky. Well, you just lurk by his side and wait for the right time. I will give you a chance."
After getting Zhao Ling's promise, Yu Jinping felt a little relieved. At the same time, he comforted himself that he had acted relatively low-key this time. He was just fanning the flames from the side and did not jump out directly. Perhaps Fang Zhicheng did not pay attention to him.
Fang Zhicheng did not listen to the whole meeting, but just stood by for ten minutes to get a clear picture of the situation at the meeting. After Fang Zhicheng left, he knew that the secretaries would soon inform the standing committee members that they were back.
After Fang Zhicheng entered the office, Jiang Pei and Shang Yan worked silently, and it was obvious that they were extremely depressed. As secretaries of the district party committee secretary, they had always been respected in the compound, but from yesterday to now, they had probably received a lot of cold eyes, and the gap in their hearts made them depressed.
Shang Yan was the first to notice that Fang Zhicheng had returned. She immediately stood up, her tone full of joy, "Boss, you're back!"
Jiang Pei also realized it, and stood up with Shang Yan, with tears in her eyes.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said calmly: "I guess a lot of people will come to the office later, so you should prepare to receive them now."
"I'll prepare hot water right away." Shang Yan quickly stood up and said.
Because I didn't know Fang Zhicheng would come back today, I didn't prepare hot water.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and walked into the office, and found that it had been cleaned. Judging from the cleaning traces, it should be Jiang Pei who cleaned it. Jiang Pei likes to put all the documents and materials into folders when cleaning, while Shang Yan likes to pile the materials in the upper right corner of the desk. This is the difference between the two.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and thought to himself that he was very satisfied with the performance of the two secretaries. Although they were a little abnormal, they were not completely panicked.
Fang Zhicheng's guess was correct. After about a quarter of an hour, someone came to visit, and the first one was District Chief Mo Jin. His purpose was simple, to explain to Fang Zhicheng his position and attitude at the meeting just now.
Chapter 0669: The Aftermath of Isolation and Review
"Secretary Fang, I have to explain to you about the meeting just now..." Mo Jin said frankly after sitting down.
Since you want to make your point clear, it would be inappropriate to beat around the bush.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Lao Mo, although we have had conflicts in the past, those were all due to different positions. In fact, I know you very well. You are not such an impatient person. I know that the organizer and promoter of this morning's meeting was someone else."
Mo Jin was interrupted by Fang Zhicheng, and seeing him speak frankly about the underlying reasons, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fang Zhicheng didn't look like a young man at all. He was very shrewd and cunning, just like a veteran who had been in the officialdom for many years. Mo Jin put himself in Fang Zhicheng's shoes and thought that even he himself might not be able to do it as easily as Fang Zhicheng.
"Have some tea!" Fang Zhicheng pointed at the teacup and continued with Mo Jin, "Actually, I can understand the convening of the Standing Committee. After all, I am under quarantine and investigation, which is a big deal for Xiaguang. As the deputy monitor, you need to bear some pressure at this time."
Mo Jin thought Fang Zhicheng was deceiving him, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Fang, I know you will be fine."
