Hanzhou was originally a third or fourth tier city. Population is one of the important factors affecting its development. In cities with good economic development, the local population only accounts for a small part, and it is migrant workers who really drive economic development.
After Zang Yi finished handing over some work, he suddenly remembered that he had not paid much attention to Ouyang Dui recently. He was not an easy person to deal with. He didn't know what trouble he had made recently, so he gave him a call.
It was already past ten o'clock, and Ouyang Dui seemed to be still asleep. A woman's voice could be vaguely heard from the other end of the phone. Zang Yi sighed and said, "Ouyang, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
Ouyang Dui yawned and said with a smile: "What? You want to drag me to do morning exercises with you again? Don't do that! Let me have a good life for a few days, OK?"
Zang Yi smiled helplessly and said, "When will you return to Yanjing? The situation over there has been settled, you can go back now."
Ouyang Dui said unhappily: "Brother, are you trying to drive me away?"
Zang Yi said: "You also know that I can't stand lazy people."
Ouyang Dui sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll finish one thing and then go back."
"What's the matter?" Zang Yi asked vigilantly.
Ouyang Dui chuckled twice and said, "Do you still remember Jin De?"
Zang Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I remember. This guy is a talent. If nothing had happened, he would have been on the youth list like you and me."
Ouyang Dui whispered: "Jin De is not the point, do you still remember his wife?"
Zang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You are not still obsessed with his wife, are you?"
Ouyang Dui snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "I really forgot about it before. But it was such a coincidence that I actually ran into her two days ago. She used to be a young woman, charming and attractive, but now she's a widow, and she looks a little pitiful. It's really annoying."
Zang Yi said unhappily: "Your taste is always so unique... You don't want to get her, do you?"
Ouyang Dui chuckled twice and said, "The one who knows me best is Young Master Zang. After I finish this matter, I will return to Yanjing immediately. With my ability, it will take less than a week."
Zang Yi knew that Ouyang Dui had a stubborn personality, so he said, "Okay, one week! I'll have someone book a plane ticket for you right away."
After hanging up Zang Yi's call, the woman next to him came over to Ouyang Dui and whispered, "Am I not attractive enough to you? You are still thinking about other women."
Ouyang Dui blocked the woman's red lips with his fingers, hushed her, and said, "Don't be jealous. This will make me too excited and I won't be able to control myself."
Chapter 0751 Are You Infatuated With Me
Although the incident involving Zhao Liang was intentionally controlled by the Municipal Party Committee, it still had a certain impact. When Zhao Liang was in office, he had very good relationships and gathered a lot of people around him. Now that the tree has fallen, the monkeys scatter, and everyone is inevitably panicked, especially the departments under his charge, such as Finance and the Beijing Office. People are most panicked.
Zang Yi served as the executive vice mayor and naturally took over Zhao Liang's previous job. He acted as vigorously and decisively as ever, taking down several of Zhao Liang's former confidants and arranging his own favorite candidates as replacements, thus renewing the blood in an extremely short time.
Zang Yi's thunderous methods made the officials in Hanzhou feel the strength of this young deputy mayor, and also aroused the hostility of everyone. Hanzhou officialdom has always been an exclusive place. Zang Yi, a foreigner, took control of the real power in a very short time, which aroused everyone's disgust.
Zang Yi doesn't care about other people's opinions. He has his own way of being an official. When he was in Guhe County, he used this thundering method to intimidate everyone, so he is very confident in his way of doing things.
After Zang Yi processed all the documents, he called Hu Gang, who smiled and said, "Are you in the government? If so, come to my office and we can have a good chat."
Zang Yi said: "Then I am sorry to bother you."
In fact, the offices of the mayor and the executive vice mayor are only two rooms apart. However, if the relationship between the two leaders is average, the two rooms are like a natural barrier, and no one will visit the other's room. Normally, the relationship between the mayor and the executive vice mayor is not particularly harmonious, mainly because of interests.
After entering Hu Gang's office, the secretary quickly brought in a cup of tea. Zang Yi took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, "Mayor Hu, I came here today mainly to discuss Hanzhou's city celebration activities next year."
Hu Gang nodded and said, "Next year is the 2,300th anniversary of the founding of Hanzhou. According to Secretary Zhang's suggestion, we should not waste money and just hold a simple but elegant celebration."
Zang Yi shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Hanzhou should not only not keep a low profile in its work for the city celebration, but also publish special reports."
Hu Gang frowned and smiled faintly: "Oh? What do you think?"
Zang Yi said: "When a city wants to develop, just like when a person wants to become famous, sometimes they need to hype themselves up with some events. Hanzhou is facing such a big event as the city celebration, why not take the opportunity to improve its reputation? A city with a good reputation will be of great benefit in attracting migrant workers and high-quality enterprises."
Hu Gang sighed and said, "Mayor Zang, you may not know that the city is also willing but unable to do so. The economic situation in the past two years has not been very good. Hanzhou's development has not shown an explosive trend and it mainly relies on land policies to maintain its development. If we want to hold a city celebration, we need a sum of money."
Zang Yi smiled, patted his chest, and said, "I will take care of the funding issue. I also hope that Mayor Hu can support my proposal at the Standing Committee meeting."
Hu Gang was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Okay, if it's done well, it will benefit Hanzhou, so how can I not support it?"
Zang Yi stayed in Hu Gang's office for a while before he got up and left. From today's conversation, Hu Gang felt that Zang Yi had a vague intention of reconciliation. In fact, Hu Gang and Zang Yi had no conflicts. He and Zhao Liang had been rivals for many years. Now that Zhao Liang was dead, Hu Gang felt relieved and naturally would not be as vigilant towards Zang Yi as he was towards Zhao Liang.
Zang Yi mentioned the city celebration event today, but his main purpose was not to do so. He wanted to test Hu Gang's attitude. If he agreed to his proposal, then the alliance would be temporarily established.
Of course, Hu Gang was also wary of Zang Yi. With Zhao Ling as a previous example, Hu Gang knew that Zang Yi was not loyal at all. When they had a common goal, he might stand with him, but if there was any change, Zang Yi would definitely choose to add insult to injury.
Hu Gang doesn't ask Zang Yi to cooperate with him much now, just to maintain a certain tacit understanding with him at the Standing Committee meetings, and then compete with Zhang Tianling for control of the Standing Committee.
If it were in the past, Hu Gang might not have had full confidence, but now that he has the support of Xia Lanshan, he still has the confidence to challenge the outsider Zhang Tianling.
…
Fang Zhicheng has not had time to inquire about issues at the municipal party committee level recently. There are a lot of key projects in Xiaguang District now, and he has to visit a project site almost every day to check the progress. He even gives people the illusion that Zhao Liang’s death has nothing to do with him.
After Zhao Liang's death, Luo Bing was greatly hurt and her mental state became a little abnormal, so Fang Zhicheng arranged for a psychologist to calm her emotions.
Fang Zhicheng still felt guilty about this matter. There is a saying that goes "kill without shedding blood". Fang Zhicheng did this in the case of Zhao Ling's death. He used a series of tricks, including the trick of self-torture, the trick of counter-espionage, inducement, provocation and many other tricks. Zhao Ling was guilty, but his life was priceless. Fang Zhicheng indirectly became a murderer.
After Zhang Xiaoliang's facial injury healed, he was not transferred from Xiaguang District and still held his original position. At the same time, he went to Fang Zhicheng's office more frequently. This was also a signal that Zhang Xiaoliang had regained Fang Zhicheng's trust and the previous conflict had disappeared.
