As for Fang Zhicheng, Zang Yi was prepared to maintain a relaxed relationship with him for the time being. In terms of temporary interests, Zang Yi and Fang Zhicheng had no direct conflict, and Zhao Liang was also Fang Zhicheng's enemy. If Fang Zhicheng could add fuel to the flames, it would be easier for Zang Yi to deal with Zhao Liang.

After Fang Zhicheng left Zang Yi's office, he went directly to Wan Heng's office. The municipal party committee and the municipal government were not in the same compound, but they were not far apart. After arriving at Wan Heng's office, Wan Heng quickly put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, how come you have time to come to my place?"

Fang Zhicheng then told Wan Heng about Zang Yi's meeting with him. Wan Heng sighed and said, "I didn't expect Zang Yi to finally show his fangs. What do you think we should do?"

Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you remind Zhao Ling. After all, if Zang Yi and Zhao Ling are both too powerful, it will affect the officialdom of Hanzhou."

Wan Heng hesitated for a few seconds and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, you are more mature than I thought. I originally thought that you would sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, or even add insult to injury and give Zhao Liang a taste of pain. After all, the conflict between you and him is not ordinary."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "I feel that compared to Zang Yi, Zhao Ling is more like a lamb."

Wan Heng glanced at Fang Zhicheng in surprise, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and asked, "Is Zang Yi that powerful?"

Fang Zhicheng laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe it's just a psychological effect. I always feel that he is a powerful person who is difficult to deal with. If we don't suppress him before he gains a firm foothold, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to deal with when he grows his wings."

Wan Heng knew that Fang Zhicheng was not a person who would worry about nothing, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. He said, "Okay, I will give Zhao Ling a reminder."

After Fang Zhicheng left, Wan Heng took the initiative to call Zhao Ling. He naturally did not reveal the truth directly, but just reminded him to pay attention to the movements of the Beijing Office. It was easy to imagine that Zang Yi would attack Zhao Ling and his focus would definitely be in Yanjing.

Zhao Ling exchanged some polite greetings with Wan Heng, but he was thinking in his heart, this is really a case of the weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. With Zhao Ling's analytical ability, he could naturally hear that Wan Heng was reminding him that Zang Yi might use the Beijing Office as a spearhead to launch an attack. But Wan Heng and Fang Zhicheng were in the same camp, so how could he be so kind

Therefore, Zhao Ling was more inclined to believe that Wan Heng was trying to sow discord between him and Zang Yi.

In Zhao Ling's opinion, Zang Yi is still a relatively low-key young cadre. He has been running to his office a lot recently, and his attitude is very humble, learning from his experience. Zhao Ling also knows that Zang Yi's status is extraordinary, and he hopes to maintain a good relationship with Zang Yi.

Wan Heng could tell from Zhao Liang's tone that he didn't take it seriously, so he could only shake his head helplessly. Suddenly, he thought that this move might have fallen into Zang Yi's trap. Wan Heng reminded Zhao Liang that this might make Zhao Liang think that he was trying to sow discord, and he would neglect to be vigilant against Zang Yi.

Wan Heng figured this out and called Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "After your reminder, I also realized that I might have really fallen into Zang Yi's trap."

Wan Heng said: "The main reason is that Zhao Ling has too deep a prejudice against us. In addition, he does not realize the new situation now."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Secretary Lanshan has left Hanzhou, and Zhao Ling is now the one in the greatest disadvantage. Although he has made outstanding contributions to Hanzhou, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Zhao Ling is only the executive vice mayor, and it is difficult to determine the winner in his fight with Hu Gang. But if Zang Yi is added as a bargaining chip, I am afraid the balance will tilt in Hu Gang's favor."

Wan Heng was silent for a moment and said, "In Zhao Liang's mind, he has already regarded us as his biggest rivals. After all, he feels that the conflicts at the beginning are irreconcilable. So it's not that Zhao Liang is unaware of Zang Yi's plan, or maybe he is just trying to find a way out."

In official circles, people's minds are unpredictable, and if you analyze them carefully, you will come to all kinds of shocking conclusions.

Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "You mean to say that Zhao Ling took the opportunity to surrender to Zang Yi?"

Wan Heng sighed and said, "That's right. You have to know that Zhao Liang often hangs out in the Yanjing circle, so he naturally knows Zang Yi's background. If Zhao Liang can cling to Zang Yi's big tree, his future prospects will be limitless."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Look at it from another angle. Zhao Ling is now waiting for a good price. He cannot take the initiative to join Zang Yi. Instead, he needs certain skills. Only after joining Zang Yi's team can he be valued by Zang Yi."

Wan Heng smiled bitterly and said, "After going around in circles, we finally discovered that we have all been fooled."

Fang Zhicheng took a breath and said, "This shows that Zang Yi is too cunning. When planning, he is good at considering details carefully. Who would have thought that he would use me to test Zhao Ling?"

Wan Heng continued to analyze, "Zang Yi wants to make the play more realistic, and at the same time he wants to know clearly whether the conflict between Zhao Ling and you can be reconciled."

Fang Zhicheng sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Should I disrupt his plan?"

Wan Heng was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Fang Zhicheng meant, and asked doubtfully, "Are you trying to win over Zhao Ling? That's too difficult. He has suffered a lot from you, how could he easily forget those bad memories?"

Fang Zhicheng said: "Everything must be tried. If Zang Yi can subdue Zhao Ling, then he can easily gain a foothold in Hanzhou. At the same time, relying on Zhao Ling's appeal in the municipal government, he can quickly open up the situation for his work. On the other hand, Hu Gang will be completely marginalized and completely sidelined by the two standing committee mayors, Zang Yi and Zhao Ling."

Wan Heng said: "Why not join forces with Hu Gang to suppress Zang Yi and Zhao Ling?"

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "I know Hu Gang. Although he is a capable cadre, he lacks courage and prestige. He is obviously not as good as Zhao Ling. Moreover, Hu Gang is too good at forbearance. He has been suppressed by Xia Lanshan for many years and has become a puppet. Although Xia Lanshan has left Hanzhou, some habits are difficult to change. Hu Gang no longer has the aggressiveness to make progress."

Wan Heng agreed with Fang Zhicheng's analysis and said, "Indeed, compared to Hu Gang, Zhao Ling is more suitable to be won over."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Even if Zhao Liang is unwilling to form an alliance with us, we must create a slight crack in the cooperation between Zhao Liang and Zang Yi." If Fang Zhicheng showed that he was willing to reconcile with Zhao Liang, then Zang Yi would definitely suspect whether Zhao Liang had another agreement with Fang Zhicheng. In this way, the relationship between Zang Yi and Zhao Liang would be overshadowed.

Wan Heng understood Fang Zhicheng's intention and said with a smile: "I don't think Zang Yi will be fooled."

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "Even if we know he won't be fooled, we should still play the intrigue scenes well, otherwise he will look down on us, won't he?"

Wan Heng laughed and said, "I can see that Zhicheng, you want to beat him!"

Fang Zhicheng said: "I know that he came to Hanzhou for me. How can I avoid him? I must not only defeat him, but also win thoroughly."

Wan Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I will support you!"

After hanging up the phone with Wan Heng, Fang Zhicheng went to Zhao Ling's office in person. Zhao Ling was attending a meeting, so Fang Zhicheng waited for an hour. Zhao Ling was obviously a little surprised to see Fang Zhicheng waiting for a long time, and smiled and said, "Comrade Zhicheng, why are you here?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I have something to report to you."

Zhao Ling glanced at the office secretary and scolded unhappily, "Since Secretary Fang had already arrived, why didn't you inform him?"

The secretary said, "I was originally planning to report it, but Secretary Fang asked me not to disturb your meeting."

If you look at this superficial effort, people who don't know the truth would think that Fang Zhicheng and Zhao Ling have a very harmonious relationship. When enemies meet, it is not necessarily filled with smoke. The real fight always occurs at the moment of separation.

After entering the office, Zhao Ling asked his secretary to make a cup of tea for Fang Zhicheng, and said with a smile: "My tea here is just coarse tea, I wonder if you are used to it, Zhicheng..."

Fang Zhicheng said: "Mayor Zhao, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. It is my honor to drink tea in your office."
