Cheng Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Of course people are panicking. Not only those in the agricultural sector, but all departments are worried. After all, Huang Lin's accident sounded the alarm for them."
Fang Zhicheng said seriously: "It's a good thing to be afraid. If you don't know how to be afraid, it's bad. Any bottom line is eroded step by step. If we don't tell them with facts which bottom lines cannot be touched, how can we make a thorough change in the government atmosphere? Many people think that I was too harsh on the Huang Lin issue. But wrong is wrong, and greed is greed. As long as it touches the warning line of corruption, it should be treated equally."
Cheng Hao sighed softly. He still admired Fang Zhicheng's decisiveness.
Because as someone in the vortex, Cheng Hao certainly knew that it was not as simple as he imagined. Although Fang Zhicheng was the district party secretary, he was still at the bottom of the officialdom, and some people could not be moved at will. In order to make Huang Lin confess the problem, Fang Zhicheng took a lot of pressure. In the eyes of many people, this pressure was a bit not worth the loss.
Fang Zhicheng’s meaning was very clear. In official circles, one often has to be concerned about gains and losses, but occasionally one has to put aside interests and look at the essence of things.
Fang Zhicheng is gradually instilling an idea among the officials of Xiaguang District, that is, not to use the unspoken rules as an excuse to touch things that they should not touch.
Although this may give people a sense of inhumanity, some things still need people to do them. At least Fang Zhicheng has now gained the recognition of some cadres who have ideals and integrity in their bones.
The Huang Lin incident proved the butterfly effect in officialdom and caused a series of changes.
The provincial discipline inspection system conducted a large-scale and strict investigation of the agricultural sector and found many shocking inside stories. Agricultural issues have always been a key issue in China's development. Although the country has always emphasized the transformation of the economic structure, it has always paid great attention to agriculture.
Huang Lin's uncle was involved in the incident, and although he eventually chose to let Huang Lin confess, the Discipline Inspection Commission still visited him several times. After the incident, Huang Lin completely retreated from the second line to the third line, and was only a nominal member of the National People's Congress, completely losing his power.
The Provincial Party Committee Organization Department subsequently released a list of personnel appointments and dismissals, adjusting more than a dozen cadres at or above the level of a director, most of whom were people in the Li faction who had close ties with Zou Xiong. This turmoil completely weakened the power of the Li faction, and at the same time indicated that Wen Jinglong had completely mastered Huainan and became the number one person who truly held power.
Huainan is now divided into three forces. Among them, Wen Jinglong controls the Organization Department, the Development and Reform Commission, the political and legal system and other forces, and is the most powerful; Bu Yiren is based in the government system and still has a say; and Song Wendi has become the weakest of the three forces because the power of the Li faction has been weakened.
However, from a long-term perspective, this is not a bad thing for Song Wendi. Although Li Siyuan left him a lot of resources, those were given to him by others after all. If Song Wendi wants to truly gain a foothold and reach Li Siyuan's level, or even surpass him, he needs to accumulate his own network resources instead of relying on Li Siyuan forever.
The reshuffle of power within the Li faction is a setback but also an opportunity for Song Wendi. If he can take advantage of this internal chaos, proceed step by step, reorganize resources, truly integrate many forces for his own use and be reborn from the ashes, he can prove his potential and value.
Cheng Hao sighed and smiled bitterly, "The district Commission for Discipline Inspection has been very busy recently, with many officials taking the initiative to admit their mistakes. In the past, the Commission for Discipline Inspection was a deserted office with few visitors, but now the comrades there are busy all day long."
Fang Zhicheng slowly let out a breath and said, "I have already explained to the Discipline Inspection Commission that all those who confess will be treated leniently, but leniency does not mean neglect. Anyone who abuses their power for personal gain will be suspended."
Cheng Hao nodded, but still a little worried, and asked, "Will this be messy?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "I have already communicated with Comrade Chen Chao in advance. The Organization Department must keep up with the action and be prepared for a thorough change before the Spring Festival."
Cheng Hao is a cadre with high aspirations and integrity. He used to be very dissatisfied with the various rules in the officialdom and hoped that one day he could change the atmosphere and make the government truly selfless and honest for the people. However, after years of struggling in the officialdom, Cheng Hao realized that he could not do this by his own strength, so he changed his strategy and stopped caring about the outside world, but continued to be strict with himself.
When the change really happened, Cheng Hao did not feel happy, on the contrary, he felt a little worried, because Fang Zhicheng, a subverter of the system and rules, appeared. Cheng Hao admired him but also felt worried for him, because he had to bear a lot of pressure.
Cheng Hao's heart suddenly surged with blood, and he said in a deep voice: "Secretary Fang, is there anything I can do for you?"
Fang Zhicheng stared at Cheng Hao seriously, and could see his sincerity. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Old Cheng, you don't need to do anything else for this matter. You just need to always be yourself and establish the image of a good official for the Xiaguang government. You have actually been doing very well. In the eyes of many people, I am an outlier, but aren't you also an outlier?"
Cheng Hao was deeply moved. Although he had always followed Fang Zhicheng's lead, he would occasionally waver in his heart and question whether his original choice was correct. Because Fang Zhicheng was too young, there were many uncertainties in him.
But after experiencing this incident, especially Fang Zhicheng's simple words, Cheng Hao was completely convinced.
Cheng Hao said excitedly: "A man will die for his friend. Secretary Fang, you are a noble man and a mentor to me. No matter how the future develops, I will always stand by you."
Fang Zhicheng stood up and patted Cheng Hao on the shoulder. He knew that Cheng Hao was not a flatterer, so his words came from the bottom of his heart. He whispered, "Thank you for your promise. I believe we can open up a whole new world. And Xiaguang is our first step..."
Cheng Hao could hear the hidden meaning in Fang Zhicheng's words. He was indirectly promising himself that if Fang Zhicheng went further in the future, then Fang Zhicheng would also take him out of the glow.
Cheng Hao once thought that his career was over, but Fang Zhicheng opened up a new space for him. This made his dormant passion burn again, and Cheng Hao didn't know how he got out of the district party secretary's office.
There was a cold wind blowing outside, blowing straight into his neck, but Cheng Hao felt warm all over, as if he had eaten mutton hotpot, he even felt hot.
"I have to go to work!" Cheng Hao told himself silently, "From today on, I will seize every minute!"
…
In the mayor's office, Hu Gang frowned as he flipped through several documents from the petition office. He couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile, "What does this Fang Zhicheng want to do? Is he planning to replace all the cadres above the section level in Xiaguang?"
At this time, the phone on the table rang, and Zang Yi said softly: "Mayor Hu, are you free? Let me chat with you for a while."
Hu Gang put down the report materials and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Zang Yi smiled and said, "I think you have already heard about Fang Zhicheng giving Xia Guang a blood transfusion?"
Hu Gang nodded and said, "I am also worried about what to do. If it is just to adjust one or two cadres, it is understandable, but he wants to adjust nearly ten at once..."
Zang Yi said calmly: "Mayor Hu, in my opinion, this is an opportunity."
"Oh?" Hu Gang was still somewhat wary of Zang Yi. Although he was now close to him and his alliance with Fang Zhicheng had long been broken, Hu Gang could not trust Zang Yi. Hu Gang remembered clearly what happened to Zhao Liang.
Zang Yi said, "Even if Secretary Zhang doesn't express his support for Fang Zhicheng's large-scale personnel adjustments in Xiaguang, he will probably approve it secretly. Why don't we use this as an excuse to fight for some resources from Secretary Zhang?"
Hu Gang frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want?"
Zang Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's not what I want, but Mayor Hu, what do you need?"
Hu Gang knew very well that Zang Yi would not be so kind. He understood that Zang Yi was instigating and trying to sit on the mountain and watch the two tigers fight and reap the benefits. However, this was indeed an opportunity. Hu Gang was holding back his energy, and at this moment Fang Zhicheng undoubtedly gave him a chance.
Chapter 0765: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave has risen
At the regular meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, Hu Gang expressed his views on the large-scale personnel changes in Xiaguang.
Hu Gang believes that Fang Zhicheng's behavior is too radical and will easily lead to an instability in the government's foundation, which will lead to endless troubles. Because the original section-level cadres were all qualified and experienced cadres, Fang Zhicheng has now replaced so many of them at once and appointed all new officials to take office. Will this cause problems
