After get off work, Fang Zhicheng drove to Wan Heng's home. Wan Heng had called him several times to make appointments in the past few days, and Tang Xue had also called him personally. It would be inappropriate for him to refuse again.

As usual, Fang Zhicheng went to the fruit shop to buy a fruit basket. After going out, he met the pet shop owner standing at the door. She was holding a snow-white pet rabbit in her arms. She stood quietly looking at the sky in the distance, her eyes a little dazed.

"Hello, my destined person!" Fang Zhicheng took the initiative to greet.

Zhao Ning's thoughts were interrupted and he was slightly stunned. He looked up and saw Fang Zhicheng, smiled faintly, then turned and walked in.

Still so cool!

Fang Zhicheng pursed his lips and sighed secretly. Zhao Ning was pretty and elegant. Even though there were always beauties around him, after seeing her, he couldn't help but be attracted by her beautiful appearance and unique temperament.

Zhao Ning was a beauty of the same level as Qin Yuming, and was on par with Wu Haiyan, the most beautiful woman in Dongtai. She was also tall and well-proportioned, and looked half a head taller than Qin Yuming. She had a small face with a bit of baby fat, giving people a sweet feeling.

Seeing that Zhao Ning ignored him, Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, got into the car directly, and started the car. The car drove forward for more than ten meters and found two young men smoking cigarettes not far away, their eyes drifting towards the pet shop.

Fang Zhicheng frowned, stepped on the accelerator, and drove into the community.

I came to Wan Heng's home and met their daughter Wan Yi. Wan Yi is 19 years old this year. She looks more mature than her peers. When she was promoted from junior high school to high school, she went abroad to study. Sending children abroad seems to be the mainstream trend in the officialdom now. Any officials with a little ability will try their best to send their children abroad for gilding.

Wan Heng was no exception. He even had another idea and planned to let Wan Yi stay abroad, but Tang Xue was reluctant to leave her daughter.

As Chinese government officials, most of them want their children to live abroad, which seems a bit ironic, but people are so realistic. The moon abroad is definitely not as round as the one at home, but the air abroad is fresh and free. Most officials in the system know this truth better than ordinary people.

Of course, not all officials would make this choice. At least Fang Zhicheng was absolutely certain that he would never betray this country.

"You must be Uncle Fang... Uncle..." Wan Yi found that Fang Zhicheng looked only a few years older than herself, so it felt indescribably strange when she called him.

Fang Zhicheng smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Why do I feel old when a grown-up girl like you calls me like that?"

Wan Yi quickly smiled and said, "I also feel something is wrong. How about I call you Brother Fang?"

"Don't be disrespectful." Tang Xue came out of the kitchen and scolded, "He is your father's colleague and good friend. If you call him brother, isn't that confusing the generations?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled. He didn't care, but many people in official circles were very calculative. There was once a joke in which a clerk in his fifties brought his son to visit his boss who was in his thirties, hoping to arrange a better position for his son in the unit. As a result, the son, who was a few years older than the boss, called the boss uncle, which made the young boss laugh and cry.

Seeing Wan Yi's aggrieved face, Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's okay, just let her call me brother. There is a custom in Yinzhou that regardless of the generation, married children call him uncle and unmarried children call him brother."

Tang Xue was not so easy to fool. She rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "I have never heard of this custom. Are you kidding me?"

Fang Zhicheng said seriously: "Sister-in-law, if you don't believe it, you can go and investigate it on the spot, right?"

Tang Xue said unhappily, "You have made up your mind that I will not go to Yinzhou, right? I have a lot of friends in Yinzhou. I will call and ask them later."

Fang Zhicheng knew that Tang Xue was just bickering with him and would not take it seriously. He smiled and said to Wan Yi, "You can call me brother from now on."

Wan Yi thought Fang Zhicheng was quite interesting. Unlike other officials, he was not always arrogant. She also knew the relationship between Fang Zhicheng and her father, so she called him "Brother" again.

Wan Heng came back a quarter of an hour later than Fang Zhicheng. When he saw Fang Zhicheng, he greeted him repeatedly and then went to the study with Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng knew that Wan Heng called him into the study because of an issue within the Municipal Party Committee.

Xia Lanshan is leaving.

As early as last year, when he entered Qiongjin, there was a high voice for him to be the vice governor, but later some people thought that Xia Lanshan's governing style was too moderate, so he kept delaying it. But a year later, Xia Lanshan changed his style. The growth rate of investment attraction in Hanzhou last year was among the highest in the province, and he also made many achievements in party discipline and work style. Therefore, the reason of governing moderately can no longer stop Xia Lanshan's pace of progress.

Wan Heng was the first to receive the news. The Provincial Party Committee Organization Department had any issues regarding the promotion of cadres in Hanzhou. As the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, he naturally had relevant channels to receive the news. Starting next week, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department will have an investigation team come to Hanzhou to talk to Xia Lanshan.

There is a common sense in the officialdom that a conversation with the Discipline Inspection Commission means you have no future, while a conversation with the Organization Department means you have a bright future. For Xia Lanshan, this is good news, and for Wan Heng, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If Xia Lanshan really leaves Hanzhou, given his style, he will definitely recommend a local official to the provincial party committee to serve as the municipal party secretary, which means everyone will have the opportunity to move forward.

Wan Heng follows the party affairs route. He ranks about fifth or sixth in the municipal party committee standing committee. According to the current situation, Hu Gang will serve as the municipal party committee secretary, Zhao Liang will serve as the mayor, and the former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee has crossed the line and is expected to retreat to the second line.

Therefore, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Feng Yuanzheng and Organization Minister Wan Heng are now the biggest candidates for deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.

The wind direction in Hanzhou is about to change.

Fang Zhicheng showed a solemn expression on his face, and analyzed: "It is well known that Feng Yuanzheng and Zhao Liang are very close. Judging from the current situation, even if Xia Lanshan will leave the position of municipal party secretary to Hu Gang, he will also provide a strong support for Zhao Liang's promotion, and that is Feng Yuanzheng."

Wan Heng nodded, thinking that although Fang Zhicheng was not in the city, he had a clear understanding of the struggle situation in the city.

Wan Heng said: "Judging from the current situation, my chances of winning are slim."

Fang Zhicheng said: "Compared to Zhao Ling and Hu Gang, Wan Heng does not have much advantage. The reason why Xia Lanshan has always let Wan Heng take the position of Organization Minister is because Xia Lanshan needs such an alternative chess piece to balance the team and make the team more stable."

But if Xia Lanshan left Hanzhou, both Zhao Ling and Hu Gang would probably attack Wan Heng, because the position of Organization Minister was too important to them.

Wan Heng said slowly: "Hu Gang has talked to me several times in the past few days. His intention to win me over is very obvious, but I didn't agree to him directly."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and sighed, "Once Xia Lanshan leaves Hanzhou, Zhao Liang won't be able to rise to power overnight, but if he joins hands with Feng Yuanzheng, it will be extremely disadvantageous to Hu Gang. Xia Lanshan has suppressed Hu Gang too much. Even if Hu Gang becomes the municipal party secretary, it will be almost impossible for him to quickly control the municipal party committee. In the current situation, Zhao Liang can use the resources Xia Lanshan left for him to sideline Hu Gang."

Wan Heng sighed and said, "Hanzhou has entered the Zhao Ling era."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and shook his head, "That's not necessarily true."

Wan Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"
