Zhao Ling waved his hands and said, "Old Feng, that was a bit of a joke. I can't handle it."
In terms of the ranking of the Standing Committee members, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Feng Yuanzheng is above himself. Feng Yuanzheng said that he was his follower, which is a bit of a joke.
The railway station in Hanzhou was only opened in 2008, and there are not many trains now. Hanzhou is located away from several national railway trunk roads, so the advantages of the railway station have not yet been demonstrated. However, with the accelerated advancement of the Qiong-Han integration project, especially when the intercity light rail project is being built nearby, the area around the railway station will become a hot spot and attract the attention of capital and investors.
Zhao Ling and Feng Yuanzheng booked a premium soft sleeper, two people per room. The journey from Hanzhou to Yanjing took about thirteen hours. After getting on the car, they kept quiet and did not disturb each other.
Although it seems that Zhao Ling and Feng Yuanzheng have a good relationship, in fact, there is a line between them in their hearts. The two people who come together for the sake of interests cannot be said to be open-hearted.
After the train arrived at the station, Feng Yuanzheng finally realized Zhao Liang's power. A black Audi car stopped directly on the platform. The two waited for a long time. When they saw Zhao Liang and Feng Yuanzheng getting out of the carriage, they went up to help them carry their luggage.
For vehicles to be able to get on the platform, it requires sufficient resources and a good relationship with the railway station. Some of the Beijing offices of provincial capitals may not be able to do this. But the fact that Hanzhou's Beijing office was able to drive the vehicle in fully demonstrates its strength.
The tall man, about thirty-five years old, with a handsome appearance, is Yang Dechang, director of Hanzhou City’s Beijing Office.
Edward Yang smiled and said, "Mayor Zhao and Secretary Feng, you have worked hard." Edward Yang is very versatile, and although he has been in Yanjing for many years, he is not unfamiliar with the main leaders.
Zhao Ling waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have to come to Yanjing once or twice a month. I'm used to it. But Secretary Feng, he travels a long way occasionally, so he must be a little tired."
Feng Yuanzheng was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable. Although the soft sleeper was very comfortable, he still didn't sleep well last night. However, he naturally didn't want to admit it, and smiled and said, "Mayor Zhao, are you bullying me because I'm a few years older than you?"
Zhao Ling laughed and said, "Secretary Feng, you are younger than me, okay?"
After getting in the car, Edward Yang took the initiative to report to Zhao Ling, saying, "According to your request, I have already booked a private room for thirteen people, at ministerial level."
Feng Yuanzheng nodded and said, "I always trust you to do things." After that, he took out his cell phone and made a call. Feng Yuanzheng could tell that Zhao Ling was confirming the number of people and the time.
After the call ended, Zhao Ling said, "We need to add two or three more people, so let's change to a large table for seventeen people." After that, he and Feng Yuanzheng laughed and said, "Old Feng, let's have dinner together tonight? It's a tough battle. I know you can drink a lot, so you must lend me a hand when the time comes. If successful, there will be a considerable amount of funding for education next year."
Feng Yuanzheng said quickly: "Mayor Zhao, it is my honor to be allowed to attend. I will definitely receive the leaders of the ministry well tonight."
Zhao Liang saw the joy in Feng Yuanzheng's eyes. He followed him to Yanjing this time mainly to expand his network of contacts. Zhao Liang took him to meet the leaders of the ministry, which was also a benefit for him.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Ling to transfer the core resources in his hands to Feng Yuanzheng, as that is his reliance for securing his position in Hanzhou. Although tonight's reception is at the ministerial level, in fact, the highest official invited is only at the deputy department level.
At the dinner party in the evening, Feng Yuanzheng performed very well and successfully got the unnamed ministry official drunk. After sending several ministry officials away, Feng Yuanzheng was already drunk. Zhao Ling smiled and asked, "I have arranged everything for you in the evening."
Although Feng Yuanzheng felt a little dizzy, his mind was still clear, and he said, "Old Zhao, you can't hurt me."
Zhao Ling waved his hands and said with a smile: "How can I harm you? Don't worry."
Feng Yuanzheng arrived at the hotel room and took a quick shower. At this time, the doorbell rang. Feng Yuanzheng looked through the peephole and saw a woman in a red suit standing outside. Feng Yuanzheng frowned, thinking that this was probably Zhao Liang's arrangement.
Feng Yuanzheng thought about it, but he didn't open the door and let the woman in. It wasn't that he didn't have desire, but reason told him not to take the bait, otherwise, Zhao Ling would have a handle on him in the future. At the same time, Feng Yuanzheng also had a new opinion of Zhao Ling. This guy was really good at capturing people's hearts.
Feng Yuanzheng ignored the woman and went to bed.
Chapter 0672: High-rise buildings rise from the ground
In a room in the same hotel, Zhao Liang and Edward Yang were still discussing something. The doorbell rang, and Edward Yang walked over to open the door. He said a few words to the person outside, then turned around and reported to Zhao Liang, "Secretary Feng didn't open the door."
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "Old Feng is really alert."
Edward Yang laughed with him and said, "He is just pretending to be profound. In the entire Hanzhou officialdom, who doesn't call him Feng Haole behind his back?"
Zhao Ling waved his hand and said calmly, "Although Lao Feng is lustful, he is a very cautious person. He knows that this is the bait I threw out, so it is reasonable for him not to take it."
Edward Yang nodded and said, "At the dinner today, I saw that he asked for several business cards. The purpose of his visit is clear."
Zhao Ling sneered: "If he thinks he can find a backer in Yanjing after having a few meals, then he is too naive."
Edward Yang knew where Zhao Ling's confidence came from. For a deputy department-level cadre to gain a foothold in Yanjing, he needed not only strength but also luck. Edward Yang asked, "What do you need me to do tomorrow?"
Zhao Ling thought for a moment and said, "I have some serious business to do tomorrow, so you can just accompany Old Feng and have some fun. By the way, since he likes to meet officials from Beijing, you can just invite a few of them to please him."
Zhao Liang came to the ministry this time to run a military-civilian airport project. If he could get it, it would not only be a great achievement for Hanzhou, but also for the provincial party committee. He would be valued for his contribution and would naturally become Xia Lanshan's successor.
…
Around three o'clock in the middle of the night, a roar came from the room, which woke Park Hyun-ya from her dream. She hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to go to the next door, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Oppa, are you okay?"
After waiting for a few seconds, the door opened and Fang Zhicheng hugged Park Hyun-ya and spun her in the air for several circles. Park Hyun-ya was shocked by Fang Zhicheng's actions. Fang Zhicheng kept saying, "Oh, I'm a father, yes, I'm a father."
After more than ten minutes, Fang Zhicheng finally let go of Park Hyun-ya, heaved a long sigh, and said: "Hyun-ya, do you know? I have a very beautiful daughter."
Park Hyun-A smiled bitterly and said, "Oppa, are you crazy? You are not married yet, how can you have a daughter? Let's go to the hospital. I'll call 120 now."
Just now, Fang Zhicheng received news from Switzerland that Shen Wei gave birth to a girl through underwater delivery. Qin Yuming sent the photos to him through the Internet. Fang Zhicheng was instantly dizzy with surprise, which led to his overreaction just now.
Seeing that Park Hyun-ah was really going to make a phone call, Fang Zhicheng quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't call, I'm not crazy. I'm just too happy, um, yes, I'm a little too happy. So did you notice that my speech is a little confusing now, and my words don't make sense..."
Park Hyun-A put down her phone and asked in confusion, "You really have a daughter?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded solemnly, and said to Park Hyun-ya very seriously: "However, this is a secret, you have to help me keep it secret."
Park Hyun-ah's emotions were very complicated. She had a special feeling for Fang Zhicheng. When she learned that he had a child, her emotions were naturally very complicated. "It's good that you're fine. I'll go back to sleep."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sleeping is boring when you are so happy. Let me prepare some side dishes, and we can have a drink and chat about the future... Well, what should my daughter be called? Aren't you a playwright? You must be good at naming. Help me think of a special name..."
