At around 3:30 in the afternoon, Fang Zhicheng had just returned from an investigation at Ruixing Bus Factory when he received a call from Deng Shaoqun and asked him to go to the office. Fang Zhicheng had been in Xiaguan District for so long and had never had a private chat with Deng Shaoqun.
People only talked occasionally in meetings and kept a certain distance from each other. It was like a boxer who was equally matched in the ring. The first two rounds were more about testing.
Deng Shaoqun took the initiative to invite himself to his office, which showed that he was ready to take the initiative.
The county party committee and the county government were close together. Fang Zhicheng did not let Shang Yan go with him. He came to the fourth floor of the county party committee compound alone. The secretary was on the phone. When he saw Fang Zhicheng coming, he put the phone aside and informed Deng Shaoqun.
Deng Shaoqun’s secretary is called Chen Chao. He has been with him for seven or eight years. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to do things appropriately.
If it were a deputy district chief or even a member of the Standing Committee who came to visit, Chen Chao might choose to receive him after making a phone call, but Fang Zhicheng was different. Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Acting District Chief, and the person closest to Deng Shaoqun in the entire Xiaguang District
, he didn’t dare to offend easily.
After the briefing, Fang Zhicheng entered his office. After several contacts, he found that Deng Shaoqun was the kind of leader who was rough on the outside and showy on the inside. The office seemed messy, but in fact the things placed were very particular, especially the hangings on the walls.
Wearing a set of African folk masks, Deng Shaoqun appears to be unique.
When Deng Shaoqun saw Fang Zhicheng's eyes lingering on that mask, he explained with a smile: "I went abroad for business a few years ago and bought it in South Africa. I thought it had a strange shape, so I put it in the office. Almost everyone came to me
Everyone in the office will be very curious about this thing."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "The styles of these African masks are quite exaggerated, and it is difficult for ordinary Chinese people to accept them."
Deng Shaoqun said lightly: "Each culture has its own uniqueness. This mask culture in Africa symbolizes primitive wildness and strength."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Relatively speaking, I prefer the Confucian golden mean."
Deng Shaoqun waved his hand and said: "Zhicheng, in my opinion, you are not moderate at all. Although the urban village reconstruction was finally suppressed, your behavior was very bold. Even if it were me, I'm afraid
You can't be so arrogant. Of course, because of this, I feel that you and I are of the same mind, and having a like-minded partner will help you get twice the result with half the effort."
On the surface, Deng Shaoqun expressed his kindness to Fang Zhicheng, but in fact, he was putting pressure on Fang Zhicheng. In fact, he also hoped that Fang Zhicheng would stand on the same stand as him in the future. Otherwise, it would be a case of not working together.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Secretary Deng, you are the squad leader of Xiaguang District. It is natural that you should carry out your work according to your ideas. This is natural."
Deng Shaoqun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since you said that, I'm relieved. I have something to discuss with you. Not long ago, Comrade Jiao Zhengcai called me and applied for adjustment of position."
Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiao Zheng to make such a decision. The director of the county government office is a position of real power. If there is a horizontal transfer, it is almost impossible to find a position of the same level among the existing positions in the county.
Fang Zhicheng thought about it and immediately understood Jiao Zhengcai's intention. He was using retreat as an excuse to adjust his position. In fact, he wanted Deng Shaoqun to be wary of Fang Zhicheng.
Fang Zhicheng and Deng Shaoqun have equal positions, so he must consider what posture he should maintain in front of him. If his posture is too low, it will make Deng Shaoqun neglect him, which will be detrimental to his future work.
Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment and said: "I know something about this matter and have communicated with him many times. Comrade Jiao Zhengcai is very capable and familiar with government-related affairs. I have always valued him very much. However, everyone has different opinions.
If he is ambitious, since he feels that he needs to change his environment and try a new position, I suggest that his personal wishes should be fully considered. Of course, I will also carefully consider the candidate for the position of director of the government office and select a suitable talent.
, can take over Jiao Zhengcai’s job in the shortest possible time.”
Deng Shaoqun didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to respond to his answer like this, and was caught off guard. Jiao Zhengcai asked him for instructions to adjust his position. This was definitely a decision made behind Fang Zhicheng's back. He hoped to use his resignation to attract Deng Shaoqun's attention, and then use Deng Shaoqun's influence to
hand to suppress Fang Zhicheng.
However, Fang Zhicheng's reaction was a little too quick. He blinked and told a big lie. Jiao Zhengcai had reported this intention to him. It was just a lie with his eyes open.
Deng Shaoqun glanced at Fang Zhicheng playfully and said calmly: "From the perspective of organizational work, Lao Jiao has given me a big problem. I agree with your judgment of him. He is a very capable cadre.
, if he leaves the government, it will be a great loss to the development of your work. So I called you here today because I also want to ask you to accept a task from me. I hope you can retain him and let him continue in the position of director of the government office.
Shine and heat.”
Fang Zhicheng also noticed Deng Shaoqun's cunning, so what if he told a big lie? He cleverly changed the angle and pushed the burden into his own hands. Fang Zhicheng is the government monitor, and Jiao Zheng is the government steward. Since you Fang Zhicheng thinks
Jiao Zhengcai is very capable, so why not be more sincere and retain Jiao Zhengcai?
None of the people in the officialdom are really efficient. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Secretary Deng, I will tell the truth. I have analyzed Lao Jiao's mentality. He used to be the secretary of the old district chief Ma Zhendong, and now
The leader has changed, and it is reasonable for him to want to change positions. As for me, for the sake of future work, it is not easy to continue to persuade him to stay. After all, the relationship between superiors and subordinates needs to maintain a certain degree of stability. You
What do you think?"
Deng Shaoqun saw that Fang Zhicheng had pointed out the core issue tactfully and said with a smile: "Since you mentioned the matter of Lao Ma withdrawing from the second line, then you should say a few more words. Lao Ma has worked in Xiaguang District all his life, and he has a deep understanding of this area.
When I started working with him, I got a lot of help from him, so I don’t want to give these veteran cadres the feeling of being out of touch. I will do my best to support you in government work, but you also have to
Pay attention to methods and means, abandon prejudices about origin, and maintain due respect for some old comrades."
When Fang Zhicheng saw that Deng Shaoqun finally revealed his purpose, he called him over for a talk today. In fact, he hoped that Fang Zhicheng would be less aggressive in arranging cadres for the district government.
Deng Shaoqun also had another implication. Although Ma Zhendong had retreated to the second line, Deng Shaoqun was still the top leader in Xiaguang District. He was responsible for the promotion and deployment of cadres. Fang Zhicheng wanted to stretch his hands too far and interfere with the personnel work, which he would not allow.
, this is a restricted area.
Fang Zhicheng felt the pressure from Deng Shaoqun. Although his last words were said with a smile, there was an undeniable flavor to it. Deng Shaoqun's personality has become much more restrained in the past two years. As early as the first two years, he would not have spoken like this.
There are many twists and turns. This is related to his work experience. He took the route of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, slowly starting from an ordinary officer of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, step by step, becoming Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, and finally Secretary of the District Party Committee. So his speech and behavior
There will be a sense of "murderous intent" in it, especially towards lower-level officials, who will feel guilty and in awe in his eyes.
Fang Zhicheng held up the teacup, took a sip of tea, faced Deng Shaoqun with a calm look, and expressed his thoughts: "Secretary Deng, you just said that you think I am a willful person. I also told you today
Please tell me a few words from your heart. I have some ideas about the current arrangement of members of the government. As early as the first day I took office, I told you that we need to rearrange the division of labor among district chiefs. This is what I will work hard to do now and in the future.
Of course, in your eyes, this may seem disrespectful to the old comrades, but I think that the times have changed now, and the government that remains unchanged will be eliminated in the competition. As leaders, we must
You have to stand high and see far. Work requires emotion, but it cannot be just emotion. If I am afraid that the veteran cadres will be disheartened, I will slow down the development speed of the region and affect the lives of the people. I can't do this kind of thing."
Deng Shaoqun obviously didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng's tone would turn so hard. He frowned, without concealing his dissatisfaction, and said in a stiff tone: "Comrade Zhicheng, I know you have a fire hidden in your heart, but this
Fire must be released skillfully. In short, I firmly disagree with Comrade Jiao Zhengcai's request for job adjustment."
Seeing Deng Shaoqun's serious attitude, Fang Zhicheng smiled lightly and said: "I have little experience in party affairs. Since Secretary Deng thinks that Comrade Jiao Zhengcai is worth retaining, he also asked the organization to come forward to persuade him. Comrade Jiao Zhengcai's consciousness is so high, I believe he will
I will be grateful for the organization's attention and hospitality and make a decision that is in line with the collective interests. It is getting late, so I will say goodbye and leave."
Deng Shaoqun watched Fang Zhicheng leave, unable to hide the anger on his face. He did not expect that Fang Zhicheng's character was so strong, and he did not take him seriously at all.
The meaning of Fang Zhicheng's last sentence is very simple. Haven't you been using your identity as party committee secretary to suppress yourself? Then how can I do the work of your party committee secretary? The district chief only needs to be responsible for government work, but the ideological work of cadres is still
Just leave it to you, the party secretary, to do it.
The result of the conversation was unexpected. Deng Shaoqun originally thought that as the leader, he could pressure Fang Zhicheng to persuade Jiao Zhengcai. However, Fang Zhicheng did not hesitate to break up with Deng Shaoqun and let Deng Shaoqun deal with Jiao Zhengcai's problem by himself.
"It seems that some things need to be brought forward." Deng Shaoqun said coldly.
