Shen Hanchun said truthfully: "This was compiled by the High-tech Industry Department in half a month. Before that, everyone in their department went to the local area and finally brought back this report."

Wei Qun was transferred from the director of the Development and Reform Commission to Huainan as the governor, so he was very familiar with the work of the Development and Reform Commission system and knew the value of this research report. Because he was familiar with the Development and Reform Commission, Wei Qun attached great importance to it. However, this also led to some minor problems. Although they were both from the northern faction, Wei Qun was a little wary of Jiang Yong.

Jiang Yong is the confidant of Wen Jinglong, the provincial party secretary. When he was in the Development and Reform Commission, Wei Qun felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him. Although they were from the same family, the relationship between Wei Qun and Wen Jinglong was not as harmonious as imagined.

This is the nature of power. Perhaps in terms of factional positions, the two will maintain close cooperation and unswervingly implement the decisions of the faction, but in the game of personal interests, the contradiction between Wei Qun and Wen Jinglong is even more obvious than when Bu Yiren was in Huainan.

The reason why Shen Hanchun skipped Jiang Yong and found Wei Qun was because he saw the key point. Shen Hanchun and Wei Qun had a good relationship, because Shen Hanchun had a long career in the Huainan Development and Reform Commission and had visited the National Development and Reform Commission many times, so he had a good relationship with Wei Qun.

Wei Qun admired Shen Hanchun's ability. So although Bu Yiren's departure from Huainan was a severe test for the original official structure, for Shen Hanchun, he actually got a chance to be reborn.

Wei Qun closed the materials and nodded, "The High-tech Industry Department is in charge of Fang Zhicheng, right? I have paid attention to his performance in the local area before, and he is indeed a good young man. In the conclusion of the investigation of the northern cities of Huainan, he put forward a very novel point of view. Increasing cross-regional industry-university-research cooperation is the core task of promoting high-tech industries in northern cities. The so-called cross-regional does not only refer to the flow of resources from universities within the province, but also to the introduction of resources from universities across the country and input into the north and south of Huainan. With talents, the northern cities of Huainan will truly have the soil for innovation."

Shen Hanchun smiled and nodded, saying, "We have always emphasized the need to introduce more policies and provide more local subsidies, but we have forgotten one fundamental thing: talent is the main driver of social development and change. The report also implicitly mentioned the destination of the funds guided by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. They are mostly incorporated into local fiscal revenues and have not stimulated local enterprises. In fact, it is not that local governments do not want to promote social progress and reform, but that they are powerless and cannot find the right way."

Wei Qun made a fist with his right hand and tapped the desk a few times. He instructed in a serious tone: "The research work of the High-tech Industry Department this time has made a good start. It also exposed the shortcomings of the previous provincial government agencies in their work. They were divorced from reality and issued many documents, but only a few were actually implemented. The Party Central Committee has been promoting the mass line work, and I think it can also be linked. Encourage comrades to go out more and come up with practical research reports. This is much better than working behind closed doors."

Shen Hanchun smiled and said, "I hope it can bring about a huge change in the Huainan officialdom."

Change is a word that NDRC officials often mention. From Shang Yang's reforms in the Qin Dynasty to Wang Anshi's reforms in the Song Dynasty, reformers who cause sudden changes in the system or society are always controversial, and they have a unique temperament.

Wei Qun and Shen Hanchun have this kind of temperament, and Fang Zhicheng also has this kind of temperament.

Only with change can the wheel of society keep moving forward. If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind. This is a truth that China has slowly figured out decades after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

After leaving Wei Qun's office, Shen Hanchun let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, was this Fang Zhicheng's luck or was he a man of few plans

Did he foresee that Wei Qun would use this as an opportunity to consolidate his position

Chapter 0846: Hand in the answer sheet and try your hand

The "Report on the Investigation and Research of the High-tech Industry Situation in Huainan Province" received attention and heated discussion at the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. Wei Qun used this as a breakthrough point and made his first policy voice in the Huainan officialdom. Wen Jinglong supported Wei Qun at the meeting. The Provincial Party Committee Supervision Office took the lead in setting up a relevant group, mainly targeting civil servants in provincial agencies, requiring them to go to the grassroots more often. This also became another activity of the Provincial Party Committee to carry out the mass line.

After the Standing Committee meeting, Qi Yun called Fang Zhicheng before she even got to the office and said with a smile, "One good news, one bad news."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Let's hear the good news first."

Qi Yun looked around and saw that there was no one around. She said, "At the provincial party committee standing committee meeting just now, Governor Wei brought the research report from the High-tech Industry Department and praised you by name. So you got a chance to shine in front of so many provincial party committee leaders today. Secretary Wendi was smiling all the time. It was rare to see him so relaxed and at ease at the standing committee meeting. When the meeting just ended, he even took the initiative to make a joke with me."

Fang Zhicheng did not expect that his research report would cause such a big stir. Of course, the High-tech Industry Department mobilized in full force for a purpose. Fang Zhicheng had just arrived at the Development and Reform Commission and had to make some achievements. How to make achievements? It would be best to have specific materials to show that the High-tech Industry Department had done something, so in the end, the research report was formed.

Fang Zhicheng was very satisfied with this research report because the data was detailed and the conclusions were novel. Shen Hanchun was very skilled and could definitely see the ins and outs of it.

In fact, this research report was the monthly exam answer sheet that Fang Zhicheng gave to Shen Hanchun one month after he took office, to prove his ability and strength. After working in the High-tech Industry Department for more than a month, you always have to tell your boss what you have learned, what you have gained, what you understand about the position, and what contributions you have made to the department.

Fang Zhicheng carried out this research activity with utilitarian purposes. He began to plan it right after he took office, and started to implement it immediately after the personnel adjustments were completed.

To be fair, the research report was not perfect. It was not thorough enough in the southern cities of Huainan. This was not Zuo Qiuxin's fault, but the high-tech industries in several cities in southern Huainan had already taken shape and were connected to Yunhai's industrial chain. It was not easy to dig deeper and more thoroughly.

Therefore, the highlight of the entire research report lies in the research situation in central and northern Huainan, especially the high-tech industry status of northern Huainan cities, which is clearly visible and provides constructive suggestions.

Fang Zhicheng did not expect that after Shen Hanchun got the research report, he went directly to find Wei Qun, and Wei Qun brought it to the Standing Committee, which aroused discussion among the bigwigs.

Fang Zhicheng had already guessed what the so-called bad news was when he heard Qi Yun say this. This matter involved a game between high-level officials, so he was both happy and worried.

Fang Zhicheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Could it be that my research report has touched someone's sore spot?"

Qi Yun thought for a moment, sorted out the logic, and said, "At the Standing Committee meeting, it was decided to set up a group to encourage provincial-level cadres to conduct research at the grassroots level. Because your research report was the trigger, Secretary Wen personally named you and asked you to join the group."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "I am just a small director of the Development and Reform Commission. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to join this group."

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will coordinate this matter and won't give you too many tasks, but there will definitely be supervision work at that time, so you have to be present at that time."

This group was established temporarily, and its main purpose was to supervise the implementation of the grassroots investigation work of cadres at all levels. There was nothing to do normally, but when the group went to inspect, they still had to attend, which was actually not bad news.

It is a good thing to have such a source of information in the Provincial Party Committee. Fang Zhicheng is now more and more fortunate that he sent Qi Yun to the inspection room. He can immediately know if there are any movements at the top level.

One advantage of participating in the working group organized by the Inspection Office is that one can get to know a lot of people across institutions. This is also an opportunity for Fang Zhicheng, who is in urgent need of organizing personal connections in the province.

Fang Zhicheng said: "Okay, I'll wait for your notice."

Fang Zhicheng had just finished his phone call when the door to his office was knocked. He called out "Come in". Zhang Xiaoliang poked half of his head in and walked into the office with a sly smile on his face. Although he had worked with Zhang Xiaoliang for a while, he still kept a habit of standing directly opposite Fang Zhicheng after entering the door. He would not sit down unless Fang Zhicheng asked him to.

Fang Zhicheng is a casual person and doesn't care much about his subordinates' attitude towards him, but Zhang Xiaoliang's humble attitude still makes him feel comfortable.

This is actually human psychology. Even though you know he is being so humble to you on purpose, you still feel it in your heart. Zhang Xiaoliang is an out-and-out villain, but his villain character is just right. A little more makes people hate him, but a little less makes him look a little dull.

Throughout the ages, counselors are mostly villains. To put it nicely, they are geniuses, but to put it bluntly, they are good at unorthodox methods. Take Zhuge Liang, who has a good reputation, as an example. Why did he capture Meng Huo seven times? In fact, it was just to fight to support the war. Looking back at the ancient war history of China, those who overthrew the regime were generally northern clans, while the southern forces were generally weak. Zhuge Liang attacked the Nanman, in fact, in order to support the army, so he set up a plan of seven captures, not only to completely subdue Meng Huo, but also to plunder him. Because every war in ancient times required a lot of money and food, and the army wanted to strengthen its strength. It was not enough to rely on the taxes provided by the state. Most of them were robbed on the battlefield. Poor, Meng Huo was robbed by Zhuge Liang seven times on the battlefield, and finally admitted defeat, and also made Zhuge Liang famous. This is the power of Zhuge Liang's genius.

Although Zhang Xiaoliang's work ability is average, he is quite talented, which is why Fang Zhicheng values him.

When Fang Zhicheng secured his position as the district party secretary in Xiaguang, it was not Cheng Hao who made the greatest contribution, but Zhang Xiaoliang. From winning the hearts of the people at the beginning to sorting out his personal connections later, Zhang Xiaoliang lurked in the dark and did a lot for him. Many struggles cannot be put on the table, and Fang Zhicheng was fortunate to have someone who could be his shadow in a low-key manner.

So when Fang Zhicheng left Xiaguang, he took away not only Shang Yan but also Zhang Xiaoliang. This made many people confused, and even Zhang Xiaoliang didn't understand why Fang Zhicheng looked up to him, but Fang Zhicheng knew the purpose of his behavior very well.

Zhang Xiaoliang handed the materials in the folder to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng took it, glanced through it several times, and said, "You are quite efficient. In just a few days, you have sorted out the interpersonal relationships within and outside the Development and Reform Commission."

Zhang Xiaoliang laughed and said, "Director Fang, have you forgotten? I came from the Statistics Bureau and I'm good at household registration. Give me more time, I promise to find more information."
