When Zhao Ling saw it was Fang Zhicheng, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Secretary Xiao Fang. Why are you here today?"
Zhao Ling's heart was beating. The fact that Fang Zhicheng was Su Qing's son had spread throughout Hanzhou officialdom. Zhao Ling had always been well-informed. When he got the news, he felt his heart twitching hard.
.Unlike other officials, Zhao Ling often runs projects in Yanjing. He knows the power of the Su family better than anyone else.
If we classify the factions, there are no more than ten that are stronger than the Su family. When the Su family was at its peak, it was ranked among the top three. Although the Su family has declined now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the Su family wants to deal with
Zhao Ling didn't need to expend any effort at all. Just stretching out a finger was enough to ruin Zhao Ling's reputation.
Moreover, now there is news of a marriage alliance between the Su family and the Ning family. The Ning family is stronger than the Su family. The alliance between the Ning and Su families is a strong alliance, and they will instantly enter the first echelon.
In Hanzhou, Zhao Ling had been disguising his network of connections in Yanjing as mysterious. In fact, Zhao Ling did not know any senior ministries at all. It was just that a classmate from his college days held an important position in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Zhao Ling relied on this classmate's
Thanks to our connections, we can secure project funds for Hanzhou every year.
Later, Zhao Ling took control of the Hanzhou Office in Beijing, and then used the resources of the entire Hanzhou to find key entry points in various ministries and commissions. Therefore, this resulted in Zhao Ling's confusion in the ministries and commissions. As for Zhao Ling and
He has a close relationship with such-and-such leader and is the nephew of such-and-such leader. These rumors are false news deliberately released by Zhao Ling.
In official circles, you have to lie occasionally and package yourself as a legend, only in this way can you have a future.
Zhao Ling originally had the intention of suppressing Fang Zhicheng, but since he found out that he was from the Su family, he immediately gave up the idea, and at the same time he was thinking about finding an opportunity to repair the relationship between the two.
Zhao Ling is a person who knows current affairs. He knows which forbidden areas cannot be touched. The Su family is undoubtedly one of the forbidden areas that cannot be touched.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know what Zhao Ling was thinking, so he smiled faintly and said, "I'm also attending a dinner here. Which box are you in? I'll come over to greet you later."
Fang Zhicheng naturally did not like Zhao Ling in his heart, but the tone of Zhao Ling's conversation with him today did not offend him. After all, it was not easy to meet a Hanzhou official in Yanjing, so Fang Zhicheng thought about giving him some response.
Some respect.
Zhao Ling reported the box number, and Fang Zhicheng entered the bathroom. Zhao Ling shook his head and went to his box.
About ten minutes later, the door of the box was knocked open, and Fang Zhicheng walked in with a wine glass, followed by Su Lin. Zhao Ling was slightly startled, and quickly introduced with a smile: "This is our district committee of Xiaguang District, Hanzhou
Secretary Fang Zhicheng.”
Fang Zhicheng smiled lightly and said: "I learned that Mayor Zhao was dining with several leaders, so I came here to propose a toast."
Zhou Zhiwu and Chen Yutang both raised their glasses symbolically, and Fang Zhicheng drank the wine in one gulp. This was considered a formality.
Zhao Ling smiled and sent Fang Zhicheng out of the box, turned around and entered again. Zhou Zhiwu smiled and said: "Your Xiaguang District Party Committee Secretary is really young. He doesn't look more than thirty years old, right?"
Zhao Ling nodded and said: "Zhou Chu has good eyesight. He is now the youngest division-level cadre in Huainan, and his future will be unlimited."
Zhou Zhiwu smiled, and Zhao Ling could tell there was some disdain in his smile. In his opinion, there was a huge gap between division-level cadres at local level and division-level cadres at national ministries and commissions.
Looking at the resumes of national leaders, most of them are top-down. They work in ministries and commissions to a certain level, then go to the local level for a few years to gain grassroots experience, and then return to ministries and commissions and slowly settle down. In the end, Zhou Zhiwu said,
I don't think highly of officials from the local area.
In the ministries and commissions of Yanjing or some public institutions, there are countless people who are younger and higher-ranking than Fang Zhicheng. What does Fang Zhicheng mean?
Zhao Ling could see that Zhou Zhiwu had a bad attitude towards Fang Zhicheng. After thinking about it, he still did not tell the relationship between Fang Zhicheng and the Su family. After all, it would not be helpful in negotiating the project.
Chen Yutang frowned and said, "The middle-aged man standing behind your Secretary Fang just now looks a bit familiar."
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "I don't know him either, maybe he is a member of his family."
Several people had another round of drinks one after another. Zhao Ling thought that Fang Zhicheng had come to visit, and it would be unreasonable for him not to go there. So he stood up and said to Zhou Zhiwu and Chen Yutang: "I'll excuse you and go next door to say hello."
"
Zhou Zhiwu smiled and said, "Major Chen and I will go with you to help you support the scene."
Zhao Ling was slightly startled and said: "I can't ask for it."
Zhou Zhiwu also drank a few more drinks today and seemed more excited than usual. He accidentally met a local official who was younger than himself but had the same administrative level as himself. He felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to suppress his arrogance.
thoughts.
Zhao Ling is also a sophisticated person. Why can't he see Zhou Zhiwu's thoughts? He has his own plans in mind. The person who dines with Fang Zhicheng must have a high position in Yanjing. He will have dinner with Zhou Zhiwu and Chen Yutang tonight.
For such a long time, there was no progress in the negotiated project, so he thought of using Fang Zhicheng to see if he could open up the situation.
If there is a powerful figure on Fang Zhicheng's table, Zhao Ling can take advantage of the situation and make Zhou Zhiwu and Chen Yutang look at him with admiration and re-evaluate Hanzhou's strength.
After knocking on the door and entering, Fang Zhicheng reacted quickly, stood up first, and quickly introduced himself to others, saying: "Let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Zhao Ling, our deputy mayor of Hanzhou."
Zhao Ling raised his glass and said with a smile: "I learned that Zhicheng has a dinner here, so we came to disturb him."
Zhou Zhiwu was holding the wine glass. His eyes were originally a little arrogant, but when his eyes fell on one person, he suddenly panicked. Because the person sitting in the upper hand position was Wang Zhengrong, the powerful deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission.
Chen Yutang was also stunned, because sitting next to Wang Zhengrong was Major General Wen Jianjun, Assistant to the General Staff of the General Staff Department of the People's Liberation Army.
Wang Zhengrong swept Zhou Zhiwu's face, said nothing, and smiled faintly. Zhou Zhiwu gritted his teeth and felt his face burning.
Chen Yutang took the initiative to say hello to Wen Jianjun, and Wen Jianjun nodded. He was not very familiar with Chen Yutang and only knew that he was a cadre of the General Office.
Zhao Ling noticed something unusual about Zhou Zhiwu and Chen Yutang. After leaving the box, he asked: "Were there any leaders at the table just now?"
Zhou Zhiwu smiled bitterly and said: "Mayor Zhao, I didn't expect that your Xiaguang District Party Committee Secretary is so energetic. Director Wang from the National Development and Reform Commission was at the table just now."
Chen Yutang showed embarrassment on his face and said: "Major General Wen Jianjun is also at the table. He can definitely make the final decision on this joint military-civilian airport project."
Zhao Ling showed a look of confusion on his face and said: "Is the purpose of that dinner just now for the military-civilian airport project?"
Chen Yutang smiled bitterly and said: "The middle-aged man who seemed familiar to me before, now that I think about it, he should be Su Lin. He is now the executive director of the Xijing National Civil Aerospace Industry Base. Su Lin can now be said to be the No. 1 person in the civil aerospace field.
One person can allow Director Wang and General Wen to eat at the table together. This must be for the purpose of military-civilian airports. If nothing else, the contractor of the five military-civilian airport projects in East China must be a company under Su Lin."
Zhou Zhiwu nodded and said: "Mayor Zhao, I came here to talk to you so much today, and we all understand your thoughts. The reason why Major Chen and I did not make a positive commitment is mainly because we don't know what the leaders above mean. But what?
, Since there are people in Hanzhou who can eat with the two leaders, it means that the problem is not very big. Hanzhou must have a share of the five places for the construction of a military-civilian joint airport project."
Zhao Ling sighed inwardly. He naturally knew what Zhou Zhiwu meant. These two people couldn't make the decision at all. The person who made the decision was next door. He was extremely depressed, but on the surface he seemed very happy because he was running the project.
Mainly for the sake of Hanzhou, there is basically no problem with the project being settled now, so he naturally has to act very happy.
But his mood was extremely low. In the past half month, he had put in so much effort to run the project. Now the project has landed in Hanzhou, but he is not the hero. It is like running a race. He has worked hard and found half way through.
The person next door only takes one step and reaches the destination.
After the dinner, Yang Dechang saw the tired look on Zhao Ling's face and asked doubtfully: "Mayor Zhao, did the conversation not go well today?"
Zhao Ling slowly opened his eyes and said: "Don't mention the project, others will take the lead."
Yang Dechang was puzzled: "There are five places for the military-civilian joint airport. Is it possible that none of them are left?"
Zhao Ling sighed and said: "Hanzhou has the quota, but the credit has been taken away by others. I met Fang Zhicheng during dinner today."
Yang Dechang said: "Secretary of the Xiaguang District Party Committee?"
Zhao Ling said in a deep voice: "Our meal today is three levels different from the meal at his table. The result can be imagined."
Yang Dechang understood Zhao Ling's depression and said: "You mean, Fang Zhicheng is also fighting for the military-civilian airport project? And then the people he invited are more powerful than the people we invited?"
Zhao Ling nodded and said: "I will go back to Hanzhou tomorrow, buy me the earliest train ticket."
In the process of running projects before, Zhao Ling has not encountered setbacks, but this failure is more serious than any other. Because Zhao Ling now has a deep sense of crisis, he originally thought that in the running department,
When money comes to the top, no one can take his place. Even Xia Lanshan, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, has to rely on himself.
However, Zhao Ling now discovered that with the support of the Su family, Fang Zhicheng would have an advantage over himself in running projects in the future.
He had unknowingly lost the core competitiveness that he relied on to survive in Hanzhou's officialdom, and the person whose resources far exceeded his own was also at odds with him. This not only made Zhao Ling feel unmotivated.
