Chapter 557 Face-to-face choice
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the door of the reception room of the Management Committee of the West District of the High-tech Zone finally opened. Yang Yao quickly shrank his head and closed the door, making a ban on everyone's words.
"Shhh~ I'm out, just whisper." Yang Yao said cautiously.
A group of upper-level cadres from the West District do not do serious work and peep at the leaders here. If they spread, they won’t make people laugh at them.
Chen Bin and Fan Weng walked out of the reception room, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
"Director Fan, let's go back after eating and try the food in our West District cafeteria." Chen Bin gave in politely.
"No, when I go back, I have to sort out the materials I have collected in the past few days. I will report to the Standing Committee members at tomorrow's meeting."
"Okay, I'll send you back and drive my car."
"Haha, all the cadres in the city know that Chen Bin drives a luxury private car, so I'll see how comfortable it is."
"It's better to have a bus. You don't have to spend your own gas money. I've never reimbursed gasoline."
Chen Bin finished speaking with a smile, shouting loudly at the office location at the end of the corridor, "Director Li, Director Li Jun~Director Fan is gone, come out to see him off!"
In the room diagonally opposite, Huang Wei and others opened their mouths in surprise. There was no hot scene they imagined in reality. The two of them seemed to be very happy when they heard it.
Li Jun heard Chen Bin calling his name, and as soon as he left, he was held down by Feng Xiao and others. Fan Weng and Chen Bin stood at the door of the room. As soon as he opened the door, the others had no place to hide.
Feng Xiao shook his head, Huang Wei also waved his fingers, which made Li Jun not speak out, just pretending that he was not in the office. Yang Yao and others also looked at Li Jun. There were so many people hidden in the room, and he had to reveal his feelings as soon as he went out.
Chen Bin shouted twice without a response, wondering why the cadres in the West District were so ignorant, and the leaders didn't even give them away when they were leaving.
"Huang Wei, Feng Xiao~ Director Fan is leaving, they all come out to see him off!" Chen Bin shouted loudly. He believed that his voice could be heard even on the third floor.
In the room, Li Jun looked at Huang Wei and Feng Xiao’s miserable faces and almost laughed out loud. Feng Xiao looked at Huang Wei, and Huang Wei still shook his head, and he insisted on it to the end.
The corridor was surprisingly quiet, and Chen Bin felt something was wrong. Suddenly, Chen Bin's heart moved and turned to look at Zhang Zheng's office behind him. In an instant, a supernatural power was released. It was important to see that Chen Bin found that the leaders of the main departments in the west district were hiding here.
Chen Bin twisted his hand and opened the door without hesitation, "I said, what are you all doing? You can't even hear such a loud voice, right?" Chen Bin looked at everyone with a dark face.
Yang Yao was still hunched, and the door almost touched his face. Feng Xiao and others were embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"That~ I'm here to study the green space plan with Director Zhang. Guang concentrates on researching it, but I don't hear you call me." Huang Wei said with a tough bullet.
"Yes, I'm here to help Zhang Zheng and Director Huang analyze the capital investment of Greenland." Wang Xiaoyan said in a low voice.
"I~ I'm here to see how many jobs I have to do. It's easy to contact the outsourcing unit in the office." Li Jun also found a reason.
Feng Xiao smiled bitterly, "As the director's assistant, of course I have to help you check it out."
Chen Bin snorted coldly and looked at Yang Yao. Yang Yao quickly thrust his back, "I~ I'm afraid they will start arguing, and the security department has always been preventing problems before it happens."
Fan Weng pursed his lips and smiled. Chen Bin pointed at a few people depressedly, "I said you guys, they made up so fake ones, and I didn't let you act because they were losing it. Okay, don't pretend, aren't you just afraid that Director Fan and I will argue? To be honest, this scene will not happen. Director Fan is very supportive of the work in the West District and affirmed our achievements. Come on, everyone will send Director Fan to see him off. Li Jun, notify the driver Xiaozang and drive my car to send Director Fan back to the East District."
After hearing these words, Feng Xiao and others seemed to have hallucinations, and they couldn't believe that what they heard was the facts.
Fan Weng smiled and said cheerfully, "The work in the West District is very outstanding, and it cannot be separated from everyone's efforts. I found that not only do you have good work performance, but also have a good working atmosphere. The East District lacks this kind of atmosphere. It seems that I will send someone to study in the future."
Everyone then reacted, walked out of the room and sent Fan Weng downstairs "enthusiastic" with respect. Li Jun ran away and informed the driver Xiaozang to come and drive. Since both cars had happened before, Liu Xin and others had already replaced Chen Bin with a Porsche. Among the cadres in the South City, Chen Bin's private car was indeed one of the best.
Seeing Porsche drive out of the West District Management Committee, without waiting for Chen Bin to speak, everyone gathered around.
"What are you doing? Do you want to kidnap?" Chen Bin looked at everyone with a relaxed look on his face.
"Say, did you betray us, you were happy, and you were harmed." Huang Wei asked without hesitation.
"Director Chen, what's going on? What's going on with Director Fan?" Feng Xiao looked at Chen Bin with a gaze.
Chen Bin looked at the time and waved his hand, "Let's go, inform the cafeteria to get some good dishes, let's have a chat while eating." Chen Bin said happily.
Fan Wen's arrival was beyond Chen Bin's expectations. What surprised him even more was that Fan Wen did not come to provoke the enemy, but to seek peace.
After a while, the two of them made concessions. Fan Weng agreed that the staff in the West District remained unchanged for the time being. Even if there are any personnel changes in the future, he would negotiate with Chen Bin. However, the finance must be managed by the High-tech Zone Management Committee. In addition, all major projects in the West District will be approved by the High-tech Zone Management Committee before they can be implemented. Chen Bin is already satisfied to be able to keep these cadres from being taken down. Besides, Ren Yuanye, the Finance Director of the Management Committee, is his person, and Chen Bin is not worried that they will be stuck and not given any money.
After exchange, Chen Bin found that Fan Wen was not the arrogant official he imagined. No matter what the reason, it was already incredible that Fan Wen could put down his body and seek peace. There is a saying that Fan Wen was right. Political struggles do not represent differences in economic views. Building a good high-tech zone is more important than anything else. If the high-tech zone has no achievements, it will be a waste of competition. However, the only thing Fan Wen did not give in is that Chen Bin must make a profound written inspection of the last incident at the meeting of all cadres.
Chen Bin understood that Fan Wen wanted face, and both of them had their own needs. Chen Bin got benefits, and Fan Wen got dignity, which also allowed him, the top leader of the high-tech zone, to establish his own prestige.
After several days of worry, the cadres in the West District finally fell into the hearts. In their opinion, this was not Fan Wen's concession, but Director Shen's absolute victory. In his excitement, only Huang Wei still kept his mind clear. According to his analysis, Fan Wen had already obtained what he should have, and the personnel and financial power in the West District was ruthlessly deprived. Around the scene, Chen Bin just performed a farce of gangs, and finally had to check and admit his mistakes and make invisible publicity for Fan Wen. If he had known that this was the result, why did he have to make a fuss at that time? Huang Wei smiled bitterly. He knew that this was the vanity of people was causing trouble. As if such a fuss, it seemed that things would change fundamentally. Don't you know that the trouble was back to the starting point.
On Friday, the Standing Committee of the Nancheng Municipal Party Committee was held on a regular basis. Unlike in the past, there were three or two of these regular meetings in the past, and they would take leave to work on other matters. But today, the Standing Committee members came very well, and they all wanted to see how Fan Weng made a move. Even Chen Jianian, secretary of the Hanyang County Party Committee, turned down important arrangements and made a special trip to attend the regular meeting.
Kong Qinghui sat at the top and found that today's atmosphere was a little wrong. Before the regular meeting began, the Standing Committee members would joke with each other or talk about the latest news. But today, from the moment he walked into the conference room, Kong Qinghui saw that everyone was silent.
As usual, Mayor Yan Zhen reported on the results of the government's resolutions this week. Full-time Deputy Secretary Wang Zaixing then conveyed the spirit of the central document. After the two important officials in Nancheng finished their speeches, the Standing Committee members inadvertently looked at Fan Wen.
Fan Weng did not disappoint everyone, cleared his throat, and said, "Secretary Kong, Mayor Yan, and all the Standing Committee members here, I will report on the current development status of the Hi-Tech Zone and the issues that need to be solved urgently." Fan Weng said, taking out a stack of thick manuscripts and starting to recite them.
Kong Qinghui held the teacup in his hands and listened carefully to Fan Wen's words. Although Fan Wen's long and boring reading was, he was talking about the actual situation in the development zone. Especially the problems to be solved at present are all actual situations discovered from a fair perspective. When Fan Wen's words fell, most of the Standing Committee members couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Kong Qinghui saw that no one expressed any opinions, cleared his voice and said, "The issues raised by Director Fan are very practical. The High-tech Zone is already an independent administrative area and is also higher than those of ordinary districts and counties. However, there is still a cross-regional management phenomenon in management of municipal ministries and commissions and science and technology bureaus. This is also caused by the imperfect internal powers of the High-tech Zone. The establishment point has not been applied to the Municipal Party Committee for the establishment of the qualification report of the Standing Committee of the High-tech Zone since Huang Yiming was appointed as Director. Only when the High-tech Zone establishes the Standing Committee of the Party Committee can the cooperation and coordination relationship between various departments be truly integrated. Since Director Fan put forward this requirement at the Standing Committee, I think it is reasonable and it is necessary to improve the various Party Committee organizations of the High-tech Zone."
Speaking of this, Kong Qinghui looked at Fan's article and asked, "Director Fan, since you have submitted this application, I don't know if there is anything to recommend in terms of candidates?"
Fan Weng took out a document, "Secretary Kong, I have already drafted the list. I can apply for it when the meeting of all cadres in the High-tech Zone is approved. Here, I would like to inform you of the list of main members to all members."
Fan Weng said, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Since the establishment of the Hi-Tech Zone, many important departments have been jointly served by the Management Committee, which is reasonable and necessary at the beginning of the preparation. However, with the development of the Hi-Tech Zone, I think it is time for the organization to be sound. First of all, I propose that Comrade Liu Chunming, the deputy director, will be the director of the Hi-Tech Zone People's Congress. I will still be the chairman of the CPPCC. I recommend Comrade Shen Bin to serve as the chairman of the CPPCC."
As soon as Fan Wen finished speaking, Lu Haiming raised his head in surprise and couldn't believe his ears. Although Yan Zhen was calm, his heart had begun to be overturned. In the political situation in Nancheng, Yan Zhen wanted to see Fan Wen and Kong Qinghui fight the most. Only when they fought, Yan Zhen, the minority mayor, could get along with the others. But now, Yan Zhen found that the direction of the wind has changed a little, and Fan Wen was obviously showing goodwill to Kong Qinghui. Shen Bin pulled away cadres in the West District at the meeting and made such a serious political mistake. Fan Wen did not mention anything, but also promoted Shen Bin to serve as the chairman of the High-tech Zone CPPCC? This behavior is not only showing goodwill, but simply a political flattery.
Kong Qinghui was as unmoved as a rock. He was more cautious than anyone else. Kong Qinghui felt that this must be a trap. However, why Fan Wen set up this trap, what is its purpose and significance? Kong Qinghui is thinking about the mystery.
Fan Weng seemed not to see the eyes of everyone and continued, "I have visited most of the jurisdictions of the High-tech Zone these days and found that Comrade Chen Bin has a very good prestige among the masses. This shows that Comrade Chen Bin can closely contact people from all sides, and Comrade Chen Bin can also unite with the masses to play the role of supervising and participating in politics and discussing politics over the High-tech Zone Management Committee. Isn't this the responsibility of the CPPCC? Therefore, I strongly recommend Comrade Chen Bin to serve as the chairman of the High-tech Zone CPPCC."
Kong Qinghui frowned slightly. He felt that Fan Wen's words of "praise" had more ironic than positive meanings.
"I don't agree." Cai Zhiqian, chairman of the Municipal CPPCC, first raised his objections.
Everyone was stunned and turned their eyes to the CPPCC Chairman who rarely spoke. Cai Zhiqian looked at Fan Wen and continued.
"Comrade Fan Wen, no matter how much contribution Comrade Chen Bin has made, I only make one point that his level is not qualified."
Cai Zhiqian said, looking at Kong Qinghui with a serious expression, "Secretary Kong and all the Standing Committee members here. Although the appearance of the high-tech zone is a special policy and regulation for the national reform at this stage, no matter how it is opened or how it is reformed, it must not violate the basic principles. In terms of cadre appointment, the high-tech zone can implement a talent recruitment system in the administrative department and can be promoted in an extraordinary way. However, the top leaders of the five major teams are functional division of the party's affairs principle, and they must not exceed the limit arbitrarily like administrative work. This is a matter of organizational principles, and it is also a matter of principle within the party, and it must not be shaken. Comrade Chen Bin is just a deputy department-level cadre, and the chairman of the CPPCC of the High-tech Zone is a deputy department-level cadre. Even if it is downgraded, it cannot be put into the deputy department-level candidate. Director Fan, I think your consideration is a bit inappropriate."
Fan Wen's mouth moved slightly, but soon restrained his smile. Kong Qinghui accidentally discovered this scene, and suddenly realized Fan Wen's intention. His promotion beyond common sense was waiting for Kong Qinghui to oppose it. If Kong Qinghui passed it without opposition, it would be a handle to be nepotism and not abide by the principles of the provincial party committee. Even if the meeting was passed, the responsibility would fall on him, Kong Qinghui. However, if he stood up and vetoed it, it would cause another contradiction. It would invisibly show Fan Wen's generosity, and Kong Qinghui would also give a statement among the cadres in the West District to suppress his own people. In that case, it would weaken the power of Chen Bin's thorn inserted in the high-tech zone. What's more, it would cause a conflict between him and Chen Bin.
Kong Qinghui thought that Fan Wen’s trick was poisonous, because Kong Qinghui had to say this, regardless of whether it was the same or not, he would be in a disadvantageous position.
Everyone started to discuss Cai Zhiqian's denial, but no one would take it to the table. No one was stupid. The final decision of knowing such a thing depends on Kong Qinghui. Even Lu Haiming, who had always liked to speak, rarely spoke since Huang Jianjin fell. Kong Qinghui hinted several times, but Lu Haiming pretended not to see it, and kept drinking tea sips.
Yan Zhen was turning the pen in his hand. He understood Kong Qinghui's embarrassing situation at this time. Yan Zhen was worried that Fan Weng would surrender and took the initiative to surrender to Kong Qinghui. Now that Fan Weng threw this deep-water bomb, Yan Zhen was relieved.
Yan Zhen knew that it was time for him to come forward to rescue him. It was more effective to say something at the critical moment than to give him a big gift.
"Secretary Kong, I think we should support Chairman Cai's opinion. He is the chairman of the Municipal CPPCC and an old comrade, and is very sensitive to principled things." Yan Zhen hinted quietly.
Kong Qinghui heard the heart move and immediately understood Yan Zhen's meaning. Kong Qinghui smiled slightly and said to everyone.
"Comrades, the construction of the High-tech Zone has achieved remarkable achievements this year, and is inseparable from Comrade Chen Bin's efforts. Everyone knows that from the very beginning, I have been optimistic about Comrade Chen Bin's work ability. Although he is young and has little experience, many of our old comrades lack this spirit of hard work and risk. However, since Chairman Cai strongly opposes it, from my personal perspective, he still supports Chairman Cai's opinion. Comrade Cai Zhiqian is a witness to the development of Nancheng. As an old comrade who adheres to principles, I agree with his personal opinion."
As soon as Kong Qinghui finished speaking, Cai Zhiqian's face turned green. How could the things that everyone should have studied at the Standing Committee have become the result of his personal opposition? Cai Zhiqian regretted that he really wanted to slap himself. They were both foxes on the mountain, and who didn't know the little things in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? After Cai Zhiqian had expressed his personal opinion just now, he figured out Fan Wen's intention. It was fake to promote Chen Bin, and it was real to Kong Qinghui's army. Unexpectedly, he rushed forward stupidly and became a victim of the game between the two sides. Now, once the matter was spread, it seemed that Kong Qinghui and Fan Wen's approval was both his strong opposition, which prevented the reuse of Chen Bin. Although Cai Zhiqian was not afraid of offending Chen Bin, he did not want to be used as a gun.
The Standing Committee of the Nancheng Municipal Committee was in a turbulent situation, and the two sides went back and forth to resolve the crisis invisibly. It was like a master fighting, and if he was not careful, he would be attacked by the other party. The Standing Committee members did not expect Fan Wen to give up Chen Bin to stop the meeting, but from this point of view, everyone also saw that Fan Wen was much more experienced and steady than before.
After the meeting, Kong Qinghui just walked into his office, and his secretary Liu Hao quickly followed in.
"Secretary Kong, Director Fan Wenhua wants to see you."
Kong Qinghui was stunned when he heard this. He nodded, "Please Director Fan come in."
Fan Wen walked in with a file bag and smiled, "Secretary Kong's pace is as fast as ever. I can't catch up with you as soon as I left the conference room gate. No wonder, I have always been a defeated player in the past few years."
"Old Fan, you and I have worked together for many years and we all know each other. Among the senior leaders of Nancheng, you are the only one who is the secretary and you didn't come to congratulate me. You took over as the director, and I didn't congratulate you. Everyone is equal. We are not outsiders. We are still in a grudge. We still have to put our work first. In fact, we should have had a good talk a long time ago, please sit down."
Kong Qinghui did not play with the false side, but told the truth frankly. Otherwise, it was rare to use the word "please". When subordinate cadres arrived, Kong Qinghui mostly said "sit". But today, Kong Qinghui, as the top leader of Nancheng, felt that he should have a good talk with Fan Weng about his future work. Whether to continue fighting or cooperate, Kong Qinghui wanted to see Fan Weng's own choices.
After becoming the secretary of the municipal party committee, Kong Qinghui did not want to fight Fan Weng any longer. He felt that if that would only leave more handles for the province to suppress the rise of his local official. But Kong Qinghui would not give in. He had to suppress Fan Weng. Only in this way can he truly establish the majesty of the secretary of the municipal party committee.
Fan Wen and Kong Qinghui sat face to face on the sofa. Both of them had a relaxed expression. Political figures like them like to hide their true thoughts in their hearts.
"Lao Fan, before talking about work, I think we should talk about our private affairs first. You and I are here. From now on, I am not the secretary of the municipal party committee, nor are you the director of Nancheng Hi-Tech Zone. After all, we have worked together in an office building for many years, and we are more or less comrades in a trench. Of course, you can treat me as an opponent. However, you must not treat me as an enemy. If you treat me as an enemy, your mind will not be worthy of being my opponent." Kong Qinghui said frankly without being artificial.
Fan Weng smiled slightly, "Old Kong, over the past few years, I still feel comfortable with these words. To be honest, when we were both at the deputy municipal level, I dreamed of trampling you under my feet. Later, you became the mayor and I became your deputy. There is no way, I have to be managed by you. Until now, in the blink of an eye, you Kong Qinghui has become the king of the South City and the high-ranking secretary of the municipal party committee. And I have no less work than you, and I believe that I am not inferior to you, but I almost became the object of abandonment. Lao Kong, I don't blame you, I just blame myself for underestimating your opponent. Since you, Secretary Kong, have to talk frankly, then, let me ask you first, should you suppress your future work, or do you want me to cooperate?" Fan Weng said, looking at Kong Qinghui seriously.
Kong Qinghui also smiled faintly, "Old Fan, you should know my temper. The choice is not with me, but with you."
Chapter completed!
