After Zhaoqiao Town Party Committee Secretary Sun Liuan was called to the hotel by the investigation team, he never came back. It is understood that he was directly isolated and investigated and transferred to another place on the same day. District Mayor Mo Jin has been in a state of panic. Although he has been working normally during this period, he rarely attends various meetings and claims to be unwell.
Mo Jin's premonition was correct. The investigation team had a conversation with Mo Jin on the fifth day of Xiaguang. Mo Jin's psychological defenses had completely collapsed, and he surrendered directly and revealed all the problems in the industrial park.
Zang Yi did not do anything for Mo Jin. To Zang Yi, Mo Jin was just a tool and a chess piece worth using.
There was also a commotion at the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Liu Siwen, the person in charge of the investigation of Fang Zhicheng, was questioned at an internal meeting of the Organization Department. Liu Siwen referred to Mo Jin's remarks and gave a temporary decision on Fang Zhicheng's promotion. However, Mo Jin was questioned for his remarks that slandered Fang Zhicheng during the investigation team because of the problems exposed in Xiaguang Industrial Park.
The internal meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department finally decided to return the conclusion on postponing the promotion of Fang Zhicheng and asked the inspection team headed by Liu Siwen to resubmit the report, which made some people's efforts in vain.
Mo Jin's incident resulted in a vacancy in the Xiaguang No. 2 position. The Municipal Party Committee Organization Department fully considered Fang Zhicheng's suggestion and promoted Cheng Haosheng to the position of acting district chief. At the same time, there was another signal that made everyone a little confused. The Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Xiang Xin, was arranged to study at the Provincial Party School for half a year.
Although there have been various rumors in the Xiaguang District officialdom, all indicating that Fang Zhicheng is leaving Xiaguang, Fang Zhicheng has remained unmoved, working step by step every day, and is still the district party secretary who is often the last to leave work.
After reviewing the last document of the day, Fang Zhicheng stretched, then turned on his computer and entered the two keywords "Xiaguang" and "Industrial Park" into the search engine. Soon, a bunch of news appeared, all reporting on the shady dealings in the Xiaguang Industrial Park.
Fang Zhicheng frowned and browsed through several pages. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. However, the overall public opinion direction was still clear. The news still called on governments at all levels to govern transparently.
Turning to the third page, Fang Zhicheng suddenly saw a piece of news. He saw his name on the search page, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, then clicked to enter. This news was posted on a well-known forum in Hanzhou. After Fang Zhicheng browsed it, his eyebrows were untied and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It turned out that this was not a negative news about him, but a thank-you letter. The person being thanked was Zhang Cuihua, whom he had helped before. The content of the post detailed how Fang Zhicheng helped her solve her difficulties, such as seeking compensation for her deceased husband, collecting donations for her daughter's medical treatment, and asking for debts from black-hearted bosses.
There were many posts below, most of which praised Fang Zhicheng as a rare official with a conscience. Some people also dug up the inside story, saying that Fang Zhicheng's arrival brought a new look to the officialdom of Xiaguang, but it was a pity that he would leave soon.
Fang Zhicheng could tell that this post was definitely not something Zhang Cuihua could have written. He smiled faintly and said to himself, "It seems that this Lou Yao not only causes trouble for others, but also occasionally brings surprises to people. She is quite good at flattering others."
Chapter 0810: Complete Victory in Economic Strategy
After lunch, Fang Zhicheng called Guo Jinyuan and drove to the Qiongjinxia District Detention Center to visit Mo Jin. This behavior felt a bit like a weasel visiting a chicken for the New Year, but Fang Zhicheng felt that as a partner of two years, he still had to meet him. Mo Jin had lost a lot of weight and his complexion was not as good as before. His originally sparse hair had been cut off and he had a bald head. When he saw Fang Zhicheng, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed. There was anger, hatred, and resentment in his eyes, but more of it was helplessness and helplessness.
"It's very surprising! Apart from my family, you are the only one willing to come and see me." Mo Jin's mouth twitched, feeling a bit like a lonely hero.
Fang Zhicheng took out an unopened pack of cigarettes, opened it and handed it over. Mo Jin instinctively glanced at the prison guard behind him. Fang Zhicheng said, "It's okay. I've already said hello. You can smoke it."
Mo Jin took the cigarette tremblingly, and Fang Zhicheng handed him a lighter from the window. After Mo Jin lit it, he greedily took a breath and said, "Life is full of ups and downs. Who would have thought that the first time you, Secretary Fang, handed me a cigarette would be on this occasion. The cigarette tastes good and makes people remember it, but it is also full of bitterness. I admit that you are the winner and I am the loser."
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "I just wanted to come here today to verify one thing."
Mo Jin took another puff of his cigarette, puffing out smoke and then said, "From the beginning to the end, I have been deceiving you. Many things were actually planned by me in secret, such as Yu Jinping's changes, and the intensified conflict between you and Mayor Zang on the issue of the industrial park..."
As Fang Zhicheng expected, Mo Jin seemed to accept him on the surface, but it was just a disguise. He did a lot of things in secret, and of course he was hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything.
Fang Zhicheng took a deep breath and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Mo Jin did not answer him directly, but asked: "When did you find out?"
Fang Zhicheng said, "When I was isolated for investigation, Yu Jinping suddenly organized a standing committee to nominate you. Although you disguised yourself well and said hello afterwards, I began to doubt you from that moment on. Later, I fought with Zang Yi many times and was often defeated. I analyzed it carefully. On the one hand, it was because there was an informant like Wang Ping around me, and on the other hand, there must be someone in the district government who was in touch with Zang Yi. Otherwise, Zang Yi would not have known everything about the dynamics of the standing committee."
When Mo Jin heard this, a hint of realization flashed through his eyes, and he sighed, "It seems that my defeat was not unfair. Your analysis is correct. Ever since Zang Yi entered Hanzhou, I have been secretly in contact with him. Although on the surface, I have been avoiding him, in fact, I occasionally revealed some information about Xia Guang to him."
Fang Zhicheng said: "It's a pity that he didn't save you in the end."
Mo Jin laughed at himself and said, "No one can protect me. After District Chief Ma retired, I thought about this day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, in just two years."
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "Lao Mo, I know you still have feelings for Xiaguang. Although you have made many mistakes, overall, you have made contributions to the development of Xiaguang."
Mo Jin said bitterly: "It's a pity that the merits cannot make up for the faults. When I think about it carefully, I was too hasty in the process of planning and building the industrial park, and I ignored the most basic moral bottom line. Of course, these words are said a little late, and I woke up too late."
The answer has been confirmed, and there is a hint of regret in Mo Jin's tone. Of course, Fang Zhicheng can't judge whether he is continuing to act or is truly repentant.
Fang Zhicheng didn't say anything else. He pushed the newly opened box of cigarettes to the other end of the isolation window, then stood up silently.
Mo Jin took the cigarette in his hand. The prison guard seemed not to see it. He smiled complicatedly and then stuffed the cigarette into his clothes.
Mo Jin suddenly asked, "I am your first enemy since you came to Xiaguang, and I should also be your last enemy during your term."
Fang Zhicheng turned his back and waved at Mo Jin without turning back or answering.
…
Zang Yi returned to Yanjing, mainly to meet with Song Yan, the Chinese representative of the Silan Consortium. The two met at a coffee shop. Song Yan arrived on time, sat opposite Zang Yi with a smile, and said, "I didn't expect Mayor Zang to arrive so early."
Zang Yi smiled faintly and said, "What would you like to drink?"
Song Yan said, "Let's have a cup of Pu'er."
Drinking Pu'er tea in a coffee shop was a bit too personal, but Zang Yi already knew Song Yan's habit. He waved to the waiter and said, "Use the tea leaves I just gave you to make a pot of tea."
Song Yan thought to himself that Zang Yi was really attentive and he was just joking.
Not long after, the Pu'er tea came up. Zang Yi said, "Because this is a coffee shop, we don't have professional tea-making tools. Otherwise, I could make you a pot of tea."
Song Yan smiled and said, "Mayor Zang can also make tea?"
Zang Yi said: "To be a good official in China, there are three basic skills. The first is calligraphy, the second is the capacity for drinking, and the third is the tea ceremony."
Song Yan said: "If I have the chance, I must experience Mayor Zang's tea ceremony skills."
Calligraphy is a face. It is said that handwriting reflects a person. If your calligraphy is good, the leaders above you will look at you with new eyes. Although we have entered the electronic office stage and many materials no longer need to be written, the old-fashioned leaders still pay attention to the calligraphy skills of their subordinates.
Drinking capacity is like the tongue. Officials are mostly drinking buddies. They are usually serious, but they will speak the truth and show their true nature after three rounds of drinking. And if you want to attract investment and curry favor with others, you must maintain a good drinking capacity. Otherwise, if the leader is still drunk, you will be drunk, which is a loss of character.
