The Xiaguang District Government is located at No. 268 Wenqu Road, in the western commercial center. The floors are not high. The main building only has five floors. Standing at the door of Fang Zhicheng’s office, you can see Times Square opposite. Although it is a working day, there are many people entering and exiting the square.
There were a lot of people out and it seemed very lively.
Since three years ago, the district government has been preparing to move to a new location. Because the current location is in a prime location, it seems a waste to occupy such good resources as an administrative center. However, the plan to move to the new location has not been approved by the city. The reason
It's very simple. If we relocate, a large amount of money will definitely be involved. The city's funds are very tight now, and the province is very tight on finances. For district projects like this that have a lot of movement, the city usually keeps them in check.
Very cautious attitude.
Caution and stability are the consistent governance style of Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xia Lanshan.
There was a knock on the door. Fang Zhicheng walked from the window to the desk and said, "Please come in!"
Shang Yan pushed the door open and said in a low voice: "District Chief Fang, there is a reporter named Zuo outside who has made an appointment with you."
Fang Zhicheng came to the sofa and said calmly: "Invite him in."
Shang Yan brought Zuo Leng in. He was carrying a hiking bag, his hair was a little messy, his face was sallow, but his eyes were very bright.
Fang Zhicheng pointed to the opposite side of the sofa and said, "Please sit down!"
Zuo Leng sat down casually, took a look at Fang Zhicheng's office, and commented: "It's very clean."
Journalists like Zuo Leng have a lot of personality. Even when facing national leaders, he will probably behave like this. Because of this, Zuo Leng can become a successful reporter. Journalists must have a critical spirit and a pair of hands to abandon their identity.
With high and low eyes, he only sees the interviewee, so that the article he writes can be objective and fair.
Fang Zhicheng handed over a cup of tea, and Zuo Leng took a sip. Fang Zhicheng could tell that he didn't like drinking tea very much. He turned around and took a cigarette from the desk and handed it over. Zuo Leng smiled, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.
, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "District Chief Fang, let's get straight to the point. What kind of report can you bring me?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly and said: "The final effect of the report depends on the writer!"
Zuo Leng was slightly startled and sighed: "You are still trying to beat around the bush with me."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, went to the bookcase, took out a stack of documents from it, and placed it in Zuo Leng's hand. Zuo Leng flipped through the documents and his legs began to shake. This was a reaction to excitement.
Zuo Leng took a long breath and said, "Do you know what kind of impact it will have if the material is exposed?"
Fang Zhicheng whispered: "If you feel pressured and are afraid that you can't bear it, you can choose to give up."
Zuo Leng said solemnly: "I don't like to be taken advantage of and used as a gun by others."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said: "I never thought of using you, I just hope that you can help Xiaguang District, so that the living conditions of a group of people can be changed, and the original abnormal plan can return to normal."
Zuo Leng said in a deep voice: "Then why don't you come forward to solve it yourself, but hope to expose these materials through public opinion? There are so many problems in the reconstruction of Sanyuanqiao Village in Xiaguan District. As the new district chief, you have the obligation
We also have the responsibility to change everything."
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said: "Unfortunately, my strength is not enough to turn things around. I need to use other forces. I am working hard for it."
Zuo Leng sighed: "You are an interesting official. Perhaps you already have ideas on how to publish these materials through the media."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said: "If you think I am taking advantage of you, we can choose a way that we can understand each other. For example, I can be your interviewee."
"What?" Zuo Leng's eyes widened with an incredulous expression on his face. He often dealt with politicians, and he had also encountered people like Fang Zhicheng who wanted to use public opinion to deal with competitors indirectly, but Fang Zhicheng was different.
, because he wanted to be the subject of an interview crazily, "Do you know what the consequences will be? Exposing yourself to public opinion will make you the target of group attacks. Of course, as a reporter, I hope you can come forward, but this
There are extreme risks to you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Since I took the initiative, I must have considered many factors comprehensively."
Zuo Leng glanced at Fang Zhicheng solemnly. To be honest, Zuo Leng was not very interested in reporting this news. Various problems have arisen in the reconstruction of urban villages across the country. The reconstruction of urban villages in Sanyuanqiao, Xiaguang District
Looking at the province or the country, these are just common cases. News emphasizes freshness, and it is difficult to cause a sensation if these data are relied upon alone.
Moreover, Zuo Leng originally thought that Fang Zhicheng contacted him with the purpose of taking advantage of him, and then handed the information to him. People don't like to be used, especially people with independent ideas like Zuo Leng.
Even more disgusted.
But if Fang Zhicheng is willing to be the interview subject and the protagonist of this news, looking at the various chaotic phenomena of urban village reconstruction from the reflection of a ruler, the weight of the news content will undoubtedly be more than doubled. Zuo Leng can even predict
, if it is reported, it will cause heated discussion across the country.
More importantly, Fang Zhicheng did not take advantage of Zuo Leng, but hoped to work with Zuo Leng to complete this report, and even used himself as a gimmick to stir up the news.
However, such reports have a major negative impact on Fang Zhicheng. As a qualified politician, how can he expose his own family affairs to the public without reservation, especially in Hanzhou, where Xia Lanshan, secretary of the municipal party committee, is extremely conservative?
If Fang Zhicheng exposes his family scandal, it will definitely arouse Xia Lanshan's anger. If he offends the municipal party committee secretary, Fang Zhicheng's future development in Hanzhou will be difficult.
Before Zuo Leng came to interview Fang Zhicheng, he had made sufficient preparations for the visit. He collected a large amount of information about Fang Zhicheng, including how he ran the China Merchants Bureau step by step when he was in Dongtai, and then fought with the two county party secretaries before and after him.
Waiting for things. Zuo Leng’s judgment of Fang Zhicheng is that he is a person who makes decisions before taking action. It seems that sometimes his behavior is unconventional, but everything is considered extremely thoughtful. His acting style is like playing chess, and he has already made a move before making a move.
I clearly saw the changes behind the situation.
Zuo Leng nodded seriously and said: "District Chief Fang, since you are willing to bet your future, then I, Zuo Leng, will go crazy and complete this report with you."
Fang Zhicheng showed a smile on his face and said with emotion: "As others have said, reporter Zuo Huainan is one of the few journalists who dare to tell the truth."
Zuo Leng waved his hand and said calmly: "You don't need to flatter me. Since I promised you, I will definitely get the news done. I will interview you next. Are you ready? Many questions may be very sharp. Will
It makes you feel uncomfortable. But every question I ask will be what readers want to ask, and I ask you to answer it truthfully."
Fang Zhicheng sat upright and said with a smile: "I will try my best to cooperate with you."
Zuo Leng took out his voice recorder, interview notebook, and pen, and then began to question Fang Zhicheng in an orderly manner.
"District Chief Fang, what do you think of the chaos in the urban village reconstruction in Sanyuanqiao Community? What responsibility does the government bear in this matter?" Zuo Leng's first question was very direct. He started by saying
Fang Zhicheng was pushed to the edge. Fang Zhicheng represented the government. Regardless of whether he answered the questions or not, he was on the opposite side of the officials who were promoting the transformation of urban villages.
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "I think the government has the biggest responsibility for the transformation of urban villages. It failed to do overall planning and coordination, and turned what was originally a good thing for people's livelihood into a tragedy. I have visited many places during this period.
I am a victim of village reconstruction in a small city whose family was destroyed because of the government's implementation of this project. I have been deeply reflecting on whether the government prioritizes the collective or the individual when promoting some major projects that affect people's livelihood. Finally, I came up with an answer: the individual
The interests of the people should override the interests of the collective, and our government should respect and fully consider the interests of every citizen when planning. In this way, there will be no tragedy."
Zuo Leng did not expect that Fang Zhicheng would criticize the government so directly, with a look of admiration on his face, and continued to ask: "How can the government take remedial measures? As far as I know, the transformation of urban villages is still going on."
Fang Zhicheng said in a sincere tone: "In the next urban village reconstruction process, we will organize personnel to visit all citizens and solicit their opinions, focusing on their wishes. If the compensation amount is not enough, then the government will give priority to increasing the compensation.
The amount should be determined, rather than using unreasonable methods to force people to sign demolition agreements against their will."
Zuo Leng didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng would dare to tell the truth like this, and he felt admiration in his heart, because he could hear that Fang Zhicheng was speaking from the bottom of his heart when he said these words. An official was betting on his career. What a shame.
Courage and initiative?
Zuo Leng continued to ask: "Since you think the government was at fault in this matter, do you want to hold the government accountable accordingly?"
Fang Zhicheng said with certainty: "The corresponding responsibilities must be held. However, how to hold the responsibilities and who should be held accountable is something I cannot determine. But I believe that the higher-level departments will definitely pay attention to the renovation of Sanyuanqiao Urban Village.
When problems arise, we will use this as a breakthrough point to change the original deficiencies in the system or management. There is no perfect government, only a government that is constantly improving and improving can society become more harmonious."
…
Zuo Leng asked many questions, and Fang Zhicheng did not shy away from them. He answered the questions directly, without being disrespectful or stern. At the end of the question, Zuo Leng's palms actually became sweaty. It was the first time he encountered such an interview.
The official who dared to answer questions outside the norm even realized that he had to do some processing when reporting, otherwise it would be difficult to pass the review above.
