As expected, Xing Jike couldn't sit still anymore and took the initiative to call Fang Zhicheng and asked him to go to the office to sit for a while. Fang Zhicheng took the notebook, tucked it under his arm, and hurried to the county magistrate's office. I don't know if it was because of his mood.
The long corridor leading to the county magistrate's office looks depressing and dull. Compared to the county party secretary's office, there are very few people visiting the county magistrate, which also reflects Xing Jike's current situation.
Everyone knows that Xing Jike and Sun Weiming don't get along, so they rarely come to his office unless it's necessary. It's a bit shabby for the head of a county to be as powerful as Xing Jike. Of course, this is also normal in officialdom, and the wind follows the power.
If Xing Jike had been a strong county magistrate, he would not have faced the current predicament.
Fang Zhicheng analyzed Xing Jike. This person is a provincial cadre. He served as deputy secretary-general of the Yinzhou Municipal Government. He has always served in vain and has not experienced grassroots struggles. As a provincial cadre, how can he tolerate his eyes above the top?
Sun Weiming suppressed him at every turn, so he had a strong desire to resist.
"There is more than enough heart but not enough power." This is Fang Zhicheng's evaluation of him in front of Song Wendi. It vividly reflects Xing Jike's situation. He is not at the same level as Sun Weiming in terms of ability. Sun Weiming came up step by step from the grassroots level.
Dongtai has accumulated a large number of contacts, especially many important chess pieces in the county government. Not only Qi Yun, but also many deputy county magistrates have deep feelings for him. How can Xing Jike be easily shaken?
The key is that Xing Jike has no strategic means at all, which is completely different from Sun Weiming's decisiveness. He often handles things with a start and a finish, and often fails to execute when encountering difficulties.
In fact, when fighting against Sun Weiming, the other party was not without some loopholes, but even if Xing Jike caught him, he was unable to change anything. Over time, he became like a resentful woman, who could only stay in his small office and say harsh words.
The city originally had high hopes for Xing Jike, because Xing Jike has the resources of the province and has held important positions in the municipal government. He should be able to show off his talents in Dongtai County. Unfortunately, it backfired. Sun Weiming was too strong and Xing Jike became
A puppet.
Xing Jike was originally arrogant, but as time passed, he realized that if he remained like this, he would only allow Sun Weiming to further weaken the power in his hands, so he had to make changes.
Relying on the resources of the province was obviously beyond his reach, and the qualifications of the city were not enough for him to reverse the situation. But what happened today made his eyes light up. He suddenly discovered that there were people standing in the same trench beside him.
That's Fang Zhicheng.
Xing Jike knew Fang Zhicheng before, but thought he was too insignificant. He was just a cadre at the department level. How could he influence the confrontation between department and department levels?
However, he discovered that Zhao Guoyi and Song Wendi, two deputy ministerial officials, favored Fang Zhicheng. He suddenly realized that he had found a breakthrough. If he could win over Fang Zhicheng to cheer for him, he would have a better chance of winning the game with Sun Weiming.
Big increase.
The adjustment of the investment company's plan has given Xing Jike this idea, and the inspection of the Golden Street project has further strengthened Xing Jike's confidence.
Of course, Xing Jike has not completely changed his mind. He believes that Fang Zhicheng is as weak as himself and was suppressed by Sun Weiming, even worse than himself. Therefore, Xing Jike came into contact with Fang Zhicheng with a win-win mentality. He believes that
, Fang Zhicheng has needs for himself, and he can only resist Sun Weiming's threat by standing on his side.
Fang Zhicheng could guess what Xing Jike was thinking from the phone call he made to him. He knew that Xing Jike still put himself above others and thought that he was the head of the county, so Fang Zhicheng should be grateful and move closer to him in order to do this.
Self-preservation.
After entering the office, Xing Jike was wearing black-rimmed glasses and immersed in correcting documents. Fang Zhicheng didn't know whether he was really busy or just pretending. He sat on the sofa with a smile and waited for Xing Jike quietly.
Five or six minutes later, Xing Jike raised his head, took off his glasses, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I have a few documents to process here, especially the notice of the County Education Bureau's procurement winning bid this year.
Let the government handle it immediately."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go ahead." His heart was as bright as a mirror. Regarding financial documents, Xing Jike had very little say. Generally, Qi Yun was fully responsible, and the County Education Bureau
The procurement bidding notice will ultimately require financial allocations. Signing it to Xing Jike is just a formality. Where does Xing Jike need to carefully review it? Even if there are problems in the review, it will not help.
Xing Jike acted like he was very busy, and he seemed to be trying to show off his strength. He wanted to show Fang Zhicheng a strong look, but he didn't know that he was superfluous, which made Fang Zhicheng look down on him.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Xing Jike put down the pen in his hand, stretched and came to Fang Zhicheng's side. Suddenly he remembered something, stood up and walked outside, calling his secretary to bring him a cup of tea.
Fang Zhicheng took the tea cup with a smile and put it on the coffee table.
You two may wish to speak freely. If China Merchants Bureau has relevant needs, I will try my best to help you solve them."
Fang Zhicheng thought Xing Jike's words were funny. He was at his wits' end and wanted to help him. However, he still showed a humble attitude and said softly: "County Jike, China Merchants Group has always received great attention from the government, especially
County Magistrate Qi is very responsible, so the Investment Promotion Bureau works very hard in all its work. As for the achievements you mentioned, they are also due to the joint efforts of the entire Investment Promotion Bureau and the county government..."
Xing Jike was very satisfied with Fang Zhicheng's humble attitude. He was a little worried at first, thinking that Fang Zhicheng was an unruly wild horse. Even Sun Weiming didn't look down on him, so how could he easily bow to him? However, Xing Jike and Fang Zhi
Cheng's conversation revealed that he was not as naive as he appeared on the surface, but a more calm person than his peers, so he was ready to speak out: "Actually, the atmosphere in Dongtai's officialdom is not good now. Can you explain the specific reason?
I know it very well. If the work of the China Merchants Bureau is carried out well, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of many people, so I am worried that you will not be able to withstand the pressure, so I want to communicate with you well."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Magistrate Jike, for your concern. I know what's appropriate."
Xing Jike shook his head and sighed: "You still think too simplistically. It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. The previous turmoil in the investment company was a signal. If I hadn't used a delaying strategy at the county magistrate's meeting, now
The investment company has been taken over by other departments."
Fang Zhicheng nodded. He also knew about this. Xing Jike did speak for him at the county magistrate's meeting, but that was just in line with the trend. Xing Jike expressed his position like that to oppose Sun Weiming, not because he wanted to do it for the Investment Promotion Agency from his heart.
Speak fair.
Fang Zhicheng showed a helpless expression on his face and sighed: "Secretary Weiming's idea is difficult to understand. However, I still recognize all the arrangements of the organization. If the county government really wants to adjust the ownership of the investment company, then I will definitely not
Execution at a different location.”
Xing Jike suddenly felt like he had nowhere to go. He originally wanted to provoke Fang Zhicheng's anger, because he saw the conflict between Sun Weiming and Fang Zhicheng, and thought that with a little provocation, Fang Zhicheng would immediately show his dissatisfaction with Sun Weiming.
However, Fang Zhicheng is much deeper than he imagined, so he can only take more active measures.
Xing Jike sighed, and finally decided to take the initiative, saying in a deep voice: "Xiao Fang, we need to unite."
"Unite?" Fang Zhicheng expressed confusion.
Xing Jike secretly scolded Fang Zhicheng for being a fox and too cunning! At this point, he still pretended not to understand and forced himself to take the initiative to express his inner thoughts. However, he also knew that it would be difficult to win over Fang Zhicheng without picking through the window paper.
, "Sun Weiming is making a big deal in Dongtai and constantly intervening in government affairs. Now the efficiency of government agencies is extremely low. If no measures are taken, the consequences will be disastrous. So, I hope you can stand with me and jointly deal with the dilemma...
"
Fang Zhicheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm just an investment director, but I don't have that kind of strength. Magistrate Jike, do you think too highly of me?"
Xing Jike waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fang, you don't have to be modest. Although you are only a full-time student, the threat to Sun Weiming is indeed far greater than mine. I hope you can help me."
Fang Zhicheng knew that he had pushed Xing Jike into a desperate situation. If he still didn't agree, he might not be able to step down.
Fang Zhicheng's eyes suddenly lit up, his whole aura took on a new look, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of curvature. He lowered his voice and said: "County Chief Jike, if a person does not have enough strength and wants to defeat an invincible opponent, he will have to pay.
At some cost.”
Xing Jike's heart sank, his eyes swept over Fang Zhicheng's face, and he suddenly realized that Fang Zhicheng had shown his true heart, which was not so easy to control.
"What price?" Xing Jike lightly tapped his fingers on the surface of the sofa, glanced at Fang Zhicheng from the corner of his eye, and asked softly.
Fang Zhicheng dipped his finger in some tea, then his eyes drifted to the chair behind the desk, and he slowly wrote the word "power" on the coffee table!
Xing Jike's complexion changed slightly, and he clenched his fists tightly. He could not help but tremble because he was using too much force.
A smile appeared on Fang Zhicheng's lips. He believed that Xing Jike should be able to understand his meaning and accept his own ideas. Xing Jike is destined to be a puppet. If he doesn't resist, then he will be Sun Weiming's puppet. If he wants to pull him,
If he resists, then he needs to become a pawn in his own hands.
Fang Zhicheng was very bold. As a senior official, he tried to control an official at the division level. Wealth has always been gained through danger. If he didn't take some risks, how could he break the current situation?
