The Huainan Provincial Government is located on Yanjing West Road, Qiongjin City, and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission is located in Building No. 3. The provincial government compound is divided into the front yard and the back yard. The front yard is where the offices of the directly affiliated departments such as the Department of Commerce, the Department of Education, and the Department of Finance are located. Go through the back door and you will see the family building on the opposite side of Hongxing Road. In fact, there are very few cadres living in the family building of the provincial government now. Most buildings are occupied by logistics personnel, and cadres above the department level generally do not live in the family building.
Fang Zhicheng's Toyota was sent by Guo Jinyuan from Hanzhou. Fang Zhicheng just reported to the Development and Reform Commission today, so Guo Jinyuan and others' personnel are still in Hanzhou, and Fang Zhicheng does not plan to transfer them for the time being. However, it is only a matter of time before he arranges his own people to Qiongjin.
Fang Zhicheng waited in the car for a while, and then his cell phone rang. He knew it was a call from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Generally, when a new cadre takes office, the Organization Department will arrange for cadres from the Organization Department to accompany the new official to take over the work. This time, the person who accompanied Fang Zhicheng to take up his new post was Li Zhengchuan, director of the First Cadre Division.
Fang Zhicheng told him where he was. A few minutes later, a car stopped not far away. Fang Zhicheng got out of the car. Li Zhengchuan walked out of the car, shook hands with Fang Zhicheng, and said, "Originally, I asked you to report to the Organization Department first, and then come together. I didn't expect you to be so anxious and come here so easily. It seems that we are no longer needed."
Fang Zhicheng quickly smiled modestly and said, "Director Li, please forgive me for making fun of you. It's mainly because I'm not very familiar with Qiong Jin."
In fact, it was Li Zhengchuan's idea to meet directly at the provincial government. Although the provincial party committee and the provincial government were not far apart, there was no need for Fang Zhicheng to go to the provincial party committee's organization department. It would be better for him to go directly to the provincial government's Development and Reform Commission.
Li Zhengchuan whispered a few words to a female official beside him. The female official took out her cell phone and made a call. After waiting for a while, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked out of the building. Li Zhengchuan shook hands with her and introduced her to Fang Zhicheng: "This is Comrade Chen Ying, Director of the Personnel Department of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission."
Chen Ying wore a pair of glasses and had short hair, looking very capable. She looked Fang Zhicheng up and down and said, "Is this the new comrade Fang Zhicheng? He looks really young."
Li Zhengchuan smiled and said, "Yes, you told me last time that the Development and Reform Commission needs fresh blood. Look, I brought you a young man."
Chen Ying pointed to the door and said, "Let's go upstairs first."
First, we came to Chen Ying's office. The area was not very large, only about ten square meters. It seemed a bit crowded because of the bookcases, tables, chairs, and sofas. Chen Ying asked her subordinates to make tea for the three of them, and then smiled and said, "Comrade Zhengchuan, it's unfortunate today that Director Jiang accompanied Secretary Wen to participate in an event. But he personally told me to receive you well and take Fang Zhicheng to familiarize himself with the work environment."
Jiang Yong is the director of the Development and Reform Commission, leading all work, and in charge of the office, personnel department, and energy bureau. In fact, Fang Zhicheng knew very well that he might not be able to see Jiang Yong today, because he must have communicated with the Organization Department. Otherwise, the Organization Department would definitely arrange a deputy department-level cadre to take him to the new post, instead of just letting Li Zhengchuan, who is at the department level, take him to the new post.
Of course, Li Zhengchuan's rank as a director is very valuable. He is also a director, and he is in an important position in the First Cadre Department. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Zhengchuan's future is limitless. Once he leaves the Organization Department, Li Zhengchuan's accumulation and experience in the Organization Department will explode with amazing power.
So even though Wan Heng is at the deputy-department level and Li Zhengchuan is at the division level, when the two get along, they treat each other as peers, because level often does not represent the size of power. Li Zhengchuan has a lot of power in his hands, and is in charge of the promotion and transfer of provincial cadres. As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as an incumbent manager. Li Zhengchuan occasionally uses his power, which will play a big role in the fate of the cadres.
This is also why, when investigating Fang Zhicheng, Li Zhengchuan dared to express different opinions from Liu Siwen. Liu Siwen's ranking in the Organization Department was already low, and the power he actually held was not necessarily as much as Li Zhengchuan.
So, as they are both at the deputy director level, Chen Ying’s attitude towards Li Zhengchuan can be said to be very polite.
Chen Ying asked the three to sit for a while, then she dialed a branch number on the landline. After the call was connected, she reported: "I am Chen Ying from the Personnel Department. Is Director Shen here? Comrade Fang Zhicheng is here!"
The person who was on the phone with Chen Ying should be Shen Hanchun's secretary. After confirming that Shen Hanchun was in the building, Chen Ying put down the phone and said with a smile: "Director Shen in charge of the High-tech Industry Department is in the company today. Let's go over and have a chat with him."
Arriving at Shen Hanchun's office, Chen Ying looked a little unnatural. Li Zhengchuan thought to himself that Shen Hanchun was indeed notorious.
Shen Hanchun is less than fifty years old, but he looks a little old. His forehead is full of wrinkles and his hair is very sparse. At first glance, he looks like a man in his sixties.
Chen Ying reported in a low voice: "Director Shen, I brought Comrade Fang Zhicheng here."
Shen Hanchun hummed, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "I'm a little busy at work now, you can take him directly to the High-tech Industry Department. I will have many opportunities to communicate with him in the future, so there is no need to rush."
Chen Ying glanced at Li Zhengchuan awkwardly, with a wry smile on her face, but still insisted: "Director Shen, this is Comrade Li Zhengchuan from the Organization Department's Cadre Division 1. According to the Organization Department's new appointment process, it would be better for you to bring Comrade Fang Zhicheng to the High-tech Industry Division to organize a meeting in person!"
Shen Hanchun snorted, glanced at Chen Ying with a bit of displeasure, sighed, and said, "Okay, wait for me for ten minutes. I'll take care of the urgent matters at hand and then go to the High-tech Industry Department with you guys."
After saying that, Shen Hanchun buried his head and continued to deal with the official documents in his hand. Fang Zhicheng recalled Song Wendi's reminder to him, and thought to himself that Shen Hanchun's personality was indeed weird, and compared to the rumors, it was even worse.
Finally finishing the work at hand, Shen Hanchun stood up and said, "Let's go."
The rest of the people followed Shen Hanchun to the High-tech Industry Department. Compared with the complicated personnel situation in the county, the High-tech Industry Department seemed much simpler. The High-tech Industry Department had two deputy directors, three section officers, two of whom were regular section officers, and one clerk who had just joined this year. Including Fang Zhicheng, the personnel establishment was only six people.
The offices were next to each other, and Chen Ying organized them, and the six of them gathered in a larger office. Several people introduced themselves. There was a female and a male deputy director. The female director was about the same age as Chen Ying, and her name was Zuo Qiuxin; the male director was about the same age as Shen Hanchun, and his name was Cao Bin. There were three section clerks, two men and one woman, who were about the same age as Fang Zhicheng. The section-level cadre was named Yang Jian, and the two deputy section-level cadres were Zhu Tieguo and Cai Miao. The new clerk was named Pang Xi.
It was hard to tell the personalities of these people from the first meeting, but Fang Zhicheng could find clues from some details. Among the six people, Zuo Qiuxin and Cao Bin did not get along well, and Yang Jian, a section-level cadre, seemed to be on Cao Bin's side. Zhu Tieguo was a relatively straightforward person, and Cai Miao was probably one or two years younger than him. Judging from the way he dressed, he came from a wealthy family. As for Pang Xi, she had no sense of existence, not because she was ugly, but because she was of the lowest rank, so she had no say.
Shen Hanchun said to the others, "Comrade Zhicheng will be your leader from now on. He used to work at the grassroots level, so he will inevitably be a little unfamiliar with the work and will encounter some troubles, so you must cooperate with him in his work."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Shen Hanchun's introduction was a little too personal. If it were any other leader, they would definitely praise and promote him in a high-sounding manner, and would not directly say that he had no experience in the Development and Reform Commission like Shen Hanchun did. Wouldn't this make him lose face in front of his subordinates
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "As Director Shen said, I have never worked in the Development and Reform Commission before, so I am unfamiliar with many things. However, I also promise everyone that I will familiarize myself with the job in the shortest possible time and will not hold you back."
Shen Hanchun was slightly stunned when he heard Fang Zhicheng say this, because Fang Zhicheng said this to his subordinates in the High-tech Industry Department, and also to himself. Shen Hanchun nodded and said, "It seems that you are very confident in yourself, so I feel relieved."
After Shen Hanchun finished introducing the staff of the High-tech Industry Department, he returned to his office. Not long after, his cell phone vibrated. Shen Hanchun glanced at the number and answered the call reluctantly. Song Wendi asked with a smile: "Old Shen, have you met Zhicheng?"
Shen Hanchun hummed and said, "I just finished the new appointment procedure. When I saw this guy, I was furious. Why does he look like you when you were young?"
"Oh?" Song Wendi laughed, "Why do you say that?"
Shen Hanchun said, "At first glance, his eyes seem quite gentle and soft, but if you observe carefully, you will find that they are always floating, and their eyes will fall on everyone around him. Those eyes actually represent his brain, a machine that is always calculating gains and losses. Isn't this the same as you were back then?"
Song Wendi smiled awkwardly and said, "So this is how you see me?"
Shen Hanchun said: "That's right! If you weren't good at calculating, how could you be sitting in your current position?"
In Huainan, the only person who dares to speak to Song Wendi like this without any political considerations is Shen Hanchun.
Song Wendi waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I know that in your eyes, I am just an ordinary person. However, Zhicheng is definitely not ordinary. I hand my disciple over to you. You can punish him as you like, but I hope that one day when he leaves the Development and Reform Commission, he will make some progress."
Shen Hanchun curled his lips in disdain and said, "He is your apprentice, what does it have to do with me? If you want to teach him, you can do it yourself. If he makes any mistakes at work, I will not show him any mercy."
Song Wendi smiled and said, "Old Shen, you are still as stubborn as ever. Okay, you are a smart man, I will stop here and we will talk again when we have time."
After hanging up the phone with Shen Hanchun, Song Wendi shook his head helplessly. Shen Hanchun was even better than himself back then, and he far surpassed himself in the study of government strategic planning and economic situation. However, the officialdom cannot always play individual heroism, but still depends on political wisdom.
Cao Cao is not a hero, but he is a recognized hero.
