Fang Zhicheng took the file bag, pulled out the information, scanned it, and said, "What is the opinion of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department?"
Chen Chao said: "Do as the district wants."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, and the major reshuffle of Xiaguang's officialdom finally came to an end. Although the process was very complicated and even a little thrilling, in the end, a group of fresh blood was replaced in the core positions according to his own wishes.
In fact, this is what any leader would do, but the methods are different.
Fang Zhicheng chose to appease first and then purge. The final measure seemed drastic, but the foreshadowing was orderly and gradual. He kicked Yu Jinping away, but kept Chen Chao, so that the people belonging to Deng Shaoqun did not move.
Fang Zhicheng took this action because he hoped the government would be stable. He did not want personnel changes to affect the great development of Xiaguang.
As a bystander, Chen Chao experienced the whole incident and still admired Fang Zhicheng. Compared with Deng Shaoqun, Fang Zhicheng was able to endure and had courage, and was a rare rational person.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Then let's handle it according to the original plan. We need to pay special attention to He Yu and Cheng Dong."
Chen Chao understood that these two people were the main organizers of the previous riot. Now that the storm has passed, it is natural to take action against them. "I have made arrangements to transfer them to the National People's Congress. What do you think?"
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's arrange for them to study at the Municipal Party School first. If they are arranged to study at the National People's Congress, I think someone will help them."
Chen Chao understood what Fang Zhicheng meant. He Yu and Cheng Dong were willing to take the blame before because they must have received promises from others. If they were to be transferred to a less popular position, they would still be given a chance. It would be better to let them study directly and isolate them indirectly. After a period of time, they could be dealt with. By then, the person with ulterior motives might have already forgotten the original promise.
Chen Chao nodded and said, "I'll do it later."
Fang Zhicheng clasped his hands together and smiled faintly, "What do you think of my major reshuffle of the district government this time?"
Chen Chao was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect to be asked this question. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "From my own perspective, I feel a sense of grief for the dead. After all, those people used to be acquainted with me, and many of them had a good relationship with me. Although they violated the law, they still have some feelings. However, from the perspective of the Xiaguang government, your behavior is still correct. The Xiaguang officialdom is actually a microcosm of the Hanzhou officialdom. It is an institution with rigid system and weak execution. It is mainly due to the influence of Secretary Lanshan's style during his term of office. Party members and cadres have formed a numb mindset of not seeking merit but seeking fault. Xiaguang's rise, in the final analysis, is still due to people. Although the Organization Department has planned several training sessions, the results are minimal, so we have to dig from the root."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "So even though you feel uncomfortable, you still support me?"
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I think it's not just me. Now all the middle-level officials in Xiaguang's officialdom have seen hope. In the past, Xiaguang's officialdom was like turbid water. Everyone was a fish and no one could see where they were swimming. But now it's different. Everyone has found their ambitions and feelings."
"Sentiment?" Fang Zhicheng asked thoughtfully.
Chen Chao said: "As long as one enters the officialdom, who is born willing to be a corrupt official? Everyone wants to be a good official, but they are influenced by others and gradually become corrupt in the process of skirting the rules."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Old Chen, I now think that placing you in the Organization Department is a smart decision. You are right. What many cadres lack now is a kind of sentiment. If there were more sentiment, more ideals, and more perseverance, the government environment would not be as chaotic as it is now."
In fact, Chen Chao is not very old, just over 30 years old. However, it is right for Fang Zhicheng to call him Old Chen. He is younger than him and still gives him a certain amount of respect.
Chen Chao scratched his head and smiled, "In fact, I learned the word 'sentiment' from you. I have been trying to figure out the difference between you and Deng, but I couldn't figure it out before. When the Huang Lin issue broke out, I finally understood that you have a kind of persistence. This persistence is the self-positioning of officials, a kind of sentiment."
Fang Zhicheng said with a smile: "Old Chen, you complained to me before that Zhang Xiaoliang was too fond of flattering. Now that I think about it, your flattery skills are even better than Xiaoliang's."
Chen Chao waved his hands quickly and said with a smile: "It was just a joke before. Comrade Xiaoliang is still very reliable."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said seriously: "Old Chen, do you still remember when I appointed you as the district committee director? You have indeed won my trust with practical actions. I hope you can continue to do so in the future. I need people like you around me."
Chen Chao felt relieved when he heard what Fang Zhicheng said. He knew that he had finally officially joined Fang Zhicheng's camp. In the past, Fang Zhicheng seemed to value him very much, but deep down in his heart, he was still a little afraid. If he put himself in his shoes, he probably wouldn't easily accept a confidant of his enemy.
Chen Chao was the most nervous about the large-scale blood transfusion in Xiaguang District. But Fang Zhicheng gave him a reassurance at the right time. Thinking carefully, it was because Fang Zhicheng had seen through his thoughts.
After Chen Chao left the office, Fang Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief and calmed Chen Chao down. The matter of giving Xiaguang a blood transfusion was finally over.
In this matter, Fang Zhicheng and Zang Yi indirectly fought each other. Zang Yi used Huang Lin to try to split the unity within the Li faction. If Fang Zhicheng handled it improperly, he might even get into the vortex. Fang Zhicheng responded correctly, strictly dealt with Huang Lin, and took advantage of the situation to launch a major reshuffle within Xiaguang. Zang Yi also secretly put obstacles in the way, using He Yu and others to try to cause a shock to the Xiaguang government. Zang Yi made a move, Fang Zhicheng responded, and in the end Zang Yi failed to achieve his goal, while Fang Zhicheng achieved his goal.
Strictly speaking, Fang Zhicheng won a small victory in this fight.
When it was almost time to get off work, Wan Heng called Fang Zhicheng and said, "Wan Yi's winter vacation is about to end. I'd like to invite you to dinner."
2009 has not ended yet, and there is still about a week before New Year's Day. However, when he thought about it carefully, he understood that people in other countries have holidays around Christmas and school officially starts in early January every year.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come over later."
He drove to the municipal party committee staff building and entered Zhao Ning's pet shop as usual. Zhao Ning was very surprised. After that incident, the two had not been in touch for a while, but Fang Zhicheng could see a hint of eagerness in her eyes.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Ning asked with a smile.
Fang Zhicheng said truthfully: "I went to a colleague's house for dinner and came to sit with you."
Zhao Ning nodded and said, "It's getting late, you should go quickly. I have a lot of things to do and don't have time to talk to you."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "Are you trying to drive me away?"
Zhao Ning said calmly: "Yes, I get angry when I see you."
Fang Zhicheng left the pet shop reluctantly. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Ning standing at the window looking at him. He felt a little better and drove to the compound for the family members of the Municipal Party Committee.
After the car left, Zhao Ning slowly left where she had been standing. She had thought that her relationship with Fang Zhicheng would end like this, but she didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to come to her again. Her originally calm mood was disturbed again.
Fang Zhicheng knocked on Wanheng's door carrying a gift he had prepared for Wan Yi. Tang Xue opened the door wearing an apron and said with a smile, "Zhicheng, you're here. Why did you bring something again?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this time it’s not fruit, it’s prepared for Wan Yi.”
Wan Yi was originally sitting on the sofa. When she saw Fang Zhicheng coming, she followed him to the door. Fang Zhicheng handed the bag to Wan Yi. Wan Yi took it and took a look at it. She exclaimed, "This is an iPhone. It's so expensive!"
Wan Heng walked out of the study and asked, "What is love?"
Wan Yi smiled and said, "Dad, you don't know this, but this is the most popular smartphone right now. Many of my classmates work part-time and save money just to buy one. The 3 series was only launched overseas in September this year."
