Fang Zhicheng said: "Serious illnesses require strong medicines to treat. If I handle it tactfully, how can I completely change the trend of collapse?"
Zhang Tianling smiled bitterly and said, "Zhicheng, you are still too young. You have not experienced many things, so you don't know the complexity of social relations. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Sometimes people need to be confused."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and insisted, "Secretary Zhang, I understand what you mean, but I am willing to go against my conscience. I cannot let some cadres serve the masses and erode their interests when I know that they are parasites!"
Zhang Tianling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Now that the termites are united, this is a force that cannot be underestimated. How do you deal with it?"
Fang Zhicheng said coldly: "If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. I think I have done nothing wrong, so why should I be afraid of those jumping clowns?"
Zhang Tianling sighed secretly. How many people in the officialdom today can do the same as Fang Zhicheng? He sighed silently, "I can only help you withstand some pressure now. How to appease those people specifically requires you to be cautious."
Fang Zhicheng was somewhat grateful to Zhang Tianling, because he was already making the biggest concession by doing so. Although the municipal party secretary had great power, he was not omnipotent. Zhang Tianling had been under a lot of pressure at this time, and now he urgently needed help to withstand the pressure, which was already the biggest support.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Zhicheng never doubted his own actions.
Because he firmly believed that he was doing the right thing.
Fang Zhicheng is not a willful person. After he came to Xiaguang, he initially chose to lie low and dormant, watching from the sidelines. Then he boiled the frog in warm water, suppressed Mo Jin, kicked out Deng Shaoqun, and slowly took the position of district party secretary. He is actually not an impatient person. He knows how to use time to change some things.
But Fang Zhicheng acted so directly in this blood transfusion work, mainly because he felt that the time was ripe. Huang Lin's problem just gave Fang Zhicheng an opportunity. If Huang Lin's problem had not been exposed, Fang Zhicheng would have waited for a while, but now that the opportunity had appeared, how could Fang Zhicheng miss it
He hoped to use this opportunity to conduct a thorough cleansing of the Xiaguang officialdom, to eliminate the hidden rules among officials, and not to condone corruption by abusing power and position. At the same time, this was also a practical move to respond to his second uncle Su Mo's half-year deadline.
After hanging up Zhang Tianling's phone, Gong Dehai had brought in two representatives, namely He Yu, director of the Quality Supervision Bureau, and Cheng Dong, director of the Science and Technology Bureau. Fang Zhicheng had some impression of He Yu, a smiling tiger character who nodded and bowed every time they met. Such a person is good at dealing with people and is suitable for negotiation occasions. Cheng Dong is tall, serious-looking, and very imposing.
Fang Zhicheng asked the two to sit down and said calmly: "You are all government workers and you know the harm of your current behavior, so I suggest that you quickly evacuate those people at the door so that you can give yourself a way out."
He Yu grinned and said, "Secretary Fang, we are not making trouble today, but we hope you can know our thoughts. If we come to you alone, I am afraid you will not pay attention, so we have thought of a way."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "This is not just a method, but more like a conspiracy!"
Cheng Dong said in a deep voice: "Secretary Fang, you have made so many of our senior officials sit on the bench. Isn't this also a conspiracy? If you want to calm things down, change the previous personnel plan. Otherwise, we will not be in the district government next time..."
Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you threatening me?"
He Yu quickly said with a smile: "Secretary Fang, how dare we threaten you? We are just reminding you."
He Yu and Cheng Dong, one played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and they worked together very well. They had discussed this trip and had already prepared what to say to Fang Zhicheng when they met.
In their opinion, Fang Zhicheng should choose to compromise with them. The law does not punish the masses, which has always been the government's way of dealing with mass incidents. Moreover, Fang Zhicheng has now forced them into a corner, so they can only use such drastic measures. The reason why it is drastic is that Fang Zhicheng is too inhumane in the major replacement of Xiaguang's official cadres.
Gong Dehai, who was watching from the sidelines, sighed secretly. Fang Zhicheng was now in an awkward situation. If he compromised, he would admit that his previous decision was wrong. If he did not compromise, it would arouse public anger and things would become uncontrollable.
Chapter 0767: Who is more courageous
Seeing Fang Zhicheng's silence, Cheng Dong thought he was timid and said, "Secretary Fang, to be honest, we have contacted many media outlets, including several influential ones in the country. When I leave the office, I will accept their interview and explain all the issues today."
When Cheng Dong said these words, he looked very confident, but in fact, he was not as calm as he appeared. He knew that if he didn't handle this matter well today, he might have no way out in Xiaguang.
However, Cheng Dong understood that if he did not do this, it would be difficult to satisfy the demands of the person behind the scenes. After all, he promised him a chance to be reborn, and Cheng Dong must seize it.
He Yu seemed to express deep sympathy for Fang Zhicheng and said, "In fact, the problem is easy to solve. As long as you take back your decision, we will continue to support you in the future."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the two of them, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and said, "You two, I didn't expect that your choice would be the same as mine. I have also contacted several media outlets and plan to talk to them about my difficulties."
Cheng Dong was slightly stunned. It was difficult for him to understand Fang Zhicheng's approach, because a normal person would choose to downplay the matter at this moment, but if Fang Zhicheng invited the media, wouldn't that be magnifying the matter
Isn’t Fang Zhicheng afraid of playing with fire and getting burned
Fang Zhicheng said slowly: "Not only have I invited the media, I have also prepared a set of materials, which I will send to the province later. I can show it to you now."
Fang Zhicheng called Gong Dehai and asked him to go to the office to get the materials. Not long after, Gong Dehai brought them over and distributed them to Cheng Dong and He Yu.
Seeing Cheng Dong and He Yu's faces turn ugly, Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "Many people are afraid that internal problems will be exposed and affect the image of the government. But I am not afraid, because I think that since there are problems, we should not hide them. Facing the society together will increase the transparency of the government and allow the problems to be solved quickly. Here is the list of comrades who took the initiative to confess their problems sent by the Discipline Inspection Commission, as well as the relevant information. Of course, you two are not among them. The reason for adjusting your positions is mainly because someone has complained about you."
These materials are still somewhat damaging. Although the problem is not serious and is similar to Huang Lin's problem, both involve abusing one's position and engaging in petty corruption. However, if examined strictly, they still violate party discipline.
Cheng Dong's eyes widened, and he said unhappily, "It's just a complaint, there's no investigation at all, and they're adjusting our positions. Is that reasonable?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "Comrade Cheng Dong, Comrade He Yu, I have also focused on your situation. Although the content of the complaint letter is mostly untrue, the problem still exists. In the past few years, the Science and Technology Bureau has been using several accounting firms in the name of helping enterprises apply for national science and technology projects. In the process of preparing project applications for enterprises, they have received a lot of benefits. There are even private profit-sharing agreements. For example, if the municipal science and technology project application is successful, you will take a certain percentage, and if the provincial science and technology project application is successful, you will take another percentage."
"As for the Quality Supervision Bureau, there are even more problems. There are a lot of fake and inferior products on the market now. The quality is not up to standard, but they all have the official seal of the Quality Supervision Bureau... Although I don't have specific evidence of your relationship with those fake and inferior product providers, I think this in itself proves that the Quality Supervision Bureau has not done its job well and is suspected of dereliction of duty."
Fang Zhicheng spoke slowly, but his words were sonorous.
Fang Zhicheng went on to say: "The adjustment of cadres' positions is not just because of economic issues, but because you have not fulfilled your duties in your current positions. Since you are incapable of performing your duties, you should step down and let others take over."
Cheng Dong didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to be so sharp, and he revealed the unspoken rules within the Science and Technology Bureau. Many people think that the Science and Technology Bureau is a clean government, but this is actually a wrong view.
The country has various preferential policies for science and technology enterprises. Not only are there special funds suitable for science and technology enterprises of various sizes, but the country also has corresponding tax exemption policies for science and technology enterprises.
For example, if an enterprise obtains the title of National High-tech Enterprise, it will enjoy a substantial reduction in corporate income tax. The District Science and Technology Bureau has a strong voice in high-tech enterprises and other science and technology policies. Generally, the province and city allocate indicators, and the District Science and Technology Bureau makes recommendations. The provincial and municipal governments do not know much about the situation below, so the final decision on whether an enterprise meets the standards is still made by the district level.
As for the Quality Supervision Bureau, it was originally a corrupt government agency. Fang Zhicheng could tell with his eyes closed that this unit was definitely not clean and there was something fishy going on.
Cheng Dong frowned. He realized that Fang Zhicheng was not unprepared for today's negotiations. He needed to change the current trend, so he slammed the table and said loudly: "Okay, since Secretary Fang thinks it is appropriate to do so, then let's make it public. Let's see who will be affected more if the news gets out. Anyway, we are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Cheng Dong, you don't look like a party member now, but like a street scoundrel."
