Fang Zhicheng's mind flashed back to the scene of Zang Yi and Ning Xiangcao walking together. His brows knitted together and he said, "It's better for me to die than to be a brother-in-law of Zang Yi!"

Chapter 0759 Unavoidable Opponent

In the eyes of others, Zang Yi and Ning Xiangcao are indeed a perfect match. Zang Yi has made achievements in politics, and Ning Xiangcao has made achievements in business. If the two of them get together, it will link the Zang family and the Ning family together. The only drawback is that Ning Xiangcao has been married before.

But in Fang Zhicheng's opinion, Ning Xiangcao's words were nonsense.

However, he also knew that Ning Xiangcao's words probably represented the views of many people, and some people in the Ning family were probably working for this purpose, hoping to bring Ning Xiangcao and Zang Yi together.

From a political perspective, sometimes one or two marriages are not as important as ordinary people think. For many people, marriage is just a formality. Take the marriage between Song Wendi and Wenfeng as an example. The two had no emotional foundation before, and the decision was made just to protect their interests.

However, Fang Zhicheng knew Ning Xiangcao, a woman who looked gentle but was stubborn. It was not realistic for her to accept Zang Yi. But sometimes people would make substitutions for the sake of interests.

Many people have a high opinion of Zang Yi, who is a very calm, thoughtful and qualified young cadre. In the eyes of outsiders, he handles problems seriously and rigorously, and his style is vigorous and resolute, giving people a sense of positive energy.

But Fang Zhicheng, his opponent, didn't think so, because after many fights, he knew that Zang Yi was just disguising himself better, and was actually a shrewd and calculating person. If Ning Xiangcao was introduced to Zang Yi, wouldn't it be like letting the swan meat fall into the mouth of a toad

A careful analysis showed that Zang Yi was indeed a man without many shortcomings. Almost everyone in the Hanzhou officialdom praised him highly, even Wan Heng and Zhang Tianling valued his abilities.

Ning Qiangwei's words also reminded Fang Zhicheng that although Zang Yi would not prevent him from getting married to Ning Qiangwei, the Ning family valued him very much and might let Ning Xiangcao marry him. So if he wanted the Ning family to change their minds, he had to defeat Zang Yi.

Zang Yi has become an enemy that Fang Zhicheng must defeat in the short term and cannot be avoided.

However, Fang Zhicheng analyzed that with his current conditions, if he went head-to-head with Zang Yi, he would not have much chance of winning. Because Zang Yi won too much praise through the Industrial Manufacturing Forum, the entire Hanzhou recognized his ability. In the eyes of many people, the Internet industry is too illusory. Compared with Zang Yi, Fang Zhicheng still seems too frivolous and not down-to-earth.

Judging from the six months since Zang Yi came to Hanzhou, Fang Zhicheng is difficult to compare with Zang Yi in terms of economic strategy, so even Su Mo can't stand it anymore and takes the initiative to ask Fang Zhicheng to change strategy and reposition Xiaguang.

Fang Zhicheng already has the data in his hands. According to preliminary estimates, this year's industrial output value will increase by 300% compared to last year. This is the specific value that Zang Yi has brought to Xiaguang. Moreover, this is based on the fact that some key industrial projects have not yet been launched, and the industrialization manufacturing forum alone has brought orders to some of Xiaguang's existing industrial enterprises.

In everyone's eyes, Zang Yi had created a miracle. With just one meeting, he changed Xiaguang and even Hanzhou's position in industrial manufacturing.

After returning to Xiaguang, Fang Zhicheng visited all government agencies in the district. At the end of the year, the government report would be submitted soon after the holidays. Fang Zhicheng had to conduct a survey of the entire district so that he could write a more pragmatic and down-to-earth government report. It took almost a week for Fang Zhicheng to visit dozens of county-level agencies, hospitals, schools and other public institutions in the district one by one. It can be said that he was very busy. Afterwards, he began to conduct research in towns and streets across the district.

The district party secretary's desperate efforts have thrown government agencies at all levels in the district into a state of chaos.

The reason why Fang Zhicheng made such a big fuss was that he lacked understanding of Xiaguang. Although he had been in Xiaguang for more than a year, he had no detailed concept of what Xiaguang was like.

Qionghan integration, Internet industry base, industrial park, Qishi Group Building, film and television theme park... Fang Zhicheng certainly has some ideas about these core projects, but he doesn't know much about the grassroots and government departments. So Fang Zhicheng took advantage of the end of the year to take a look at the unfamiliar areas.

As a district party secretary, you not only need to understand the key points, but also need to know the details, because sometimes details determine success or failure.

Through non-stop research, Fang Zhicheng has roughly judged Xiaguang. Xiaguang District is a region with large urban-rural differences. On the one hand, it has urban characteristics, and on the other hand, the rural areas far away from the central area are still very backward, and even the transportation is not fully opened. If we want to promote the further development of Xiaguang District, urban-rural integration is the most important means.

Therefore, in the government work report, Fang Zhicheng decided to focus on planning urban and rural transportation, and part of the fiscal budget next year will be invested in this area.

Since it has been decided to solve the traffic problem, it involves the personnel arrangements of the departments related to transportation construction. Fang Zhicheng called Chen Chao and asked the Organization Department to start examining cadres now and strive to recruit new cadres after the government work report is released next year.

Fang Zhicheng then called Cheng Hao and asked him some routine questions. Seeing that Cheng Hao was not in a particularly good mental state and that some of the data he reported was not reasonable, Fang Zhicheng asked in confusion: "Cheng Hao, is there something wrong? There is something wrong with you."

Cheng Hao paused, sighed, and said, "Two days ago, someone from the District Agricultural Bureau came to me to solve the problem of the official bus, but I evaded them. Unexpectedly, Gong Dechao, the deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau, came to my house in person last night and stuffed a gift for my wife. I was not at home at the time and did not pay attention. As a result, Gong Dechao came to me today and brought up the issue of the official bus again, and a conflict arose. Gong Dechao made a big fuss in the office and said he would report me to the Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Fang Zhicheng paused and asked, "Is there someone interfering?"

Fang Zhicheng had some understanding of Cheng Hao's character. He was a man who could not be easily influenced by fire or water. There were only a handful of people in the Xiaguang officialdom who had a clean record than him. Gong Dechao was very brave to give a gift to Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "It shouldn't be the case. I have no grudge against him in the recent past or in the past."

Fang Zhicheng thought about it, thinking that Cheng Hao was sometimes a little too upright, and said, "Didn't the district government provide cars to subordinate units in the past two years? As far as I remember, the Agriculture Bureau should also be included in the scope."

Cheng Hao sighed and said, "The Agriculture Bureau has two cars. One is an old car that has been in service for more than ten years. The other one was allocated two years ago. This car is naturally used by the top leader. The old car is used by others, but that car often has problems, so the Agriculture Bureau actually has no official cars."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "This is a problem with the use of a public bus for private purposes. Gong Dechao was probably used as a gun by someone."

Fang Zhicheng soon realized that the person behind the scenes had ulterior motives, hoping to use Gong Dechao to draw the attention of district government leaders to the problem of the use of the Agriculture Bureau's official vehicle, and the ultimate target was the Agriculture Bureau's Director Huang Lin.

As long as there are people, there is politics. Although Xiaguang District has been controlled by Fang Zhicheng, it does not mean that everything is calm. There are still some evil winds from time to time. It is true that District Chief Mo Jin supports Fang Zhicheng's work, but it does not mean that his relationship with Cheng Hao is harmonious. So Fang Zhicheng's first reaction was to think of the struggle between the top two leaders of the district government.

Huang Lin is a cadre promoted by Cheng Hao. Before Cheng Hao was promoted to executive deputy district mayor, he was in charge of agricultural work, so Huang Lin has now become Cheng Hao's right-hand man.

Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the desk and sighed, "Have you and Mo Jin had any problems recently?"

Cheng Hao paused, nodded and said, "There have always been problems, but we just try to live in peace."

Fang Zhicheng said: "I will arrange for someone to do the work. We should try to minimize the problem of the Agriculture Bureau's car use. However, you should also urge Huang Lin to pay attention to his words and deeds. Now someone is targeting him, so let him clean up his mess as soon as possible."

Cheng Hao reacted, was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Huang Lin is quite serious about his work, but his reputation is not good. I will talk to him later, please rest assured."

After talking to Cheng Hao, Fang Zhicheng called Mo Jin. Mo Jin asked with a humble smile, "I wonder if Secretary Fang has any instructions?"

Fang Zhicheng said coldly: "Director Mo, such a big thing happened in the district government, don't you know?"

Mo Jin was slightly startled, then laughed awkwardly and said, "Secretary Fang, are you referring to the incident in which Gong Dechao caused trouble in Cheng Hao's office?"

Fang Zhicheng didn't say anything and remained silent, which forced Mo Jin to take the initiative to explain the whole thing.

Mo Jin reported everything to Fang Zhicheng, saying, "I just learned about this matter. After all, it is a scandal within the government. I originally planned to make a big deal out of a small matter, but now that Secretary Fang knows about it, I won't hide it. I have arranged for someone to talk to Gong Dechao. It involves Huang Lin, the director of the Agriculture Bureau. During his tenure, he acted rudely and tyrannically. He also privately controlled fertilizer companies and seed companies and used the agricultural technology station to accept kickbacks."
