Chapter 143 [Counterattack starts now](1/2)

At the Jiangcheng City Standing Committee, when Li Changyu slowly spoke out the scene of the memorial service that day, everyone was silent. Everyone, including Hong Weiji, secretary of Jiangcheng City Party Committee, had a little sore nose, and the eyes of the people were sharp. Their hearts were the most fair criterion for judging a cadre.

Li Changyu said in a deep voice: "I have been reflecting on this issue these two days. There are indeed many problems in our cadre team, but these problems are not just their personal reasons, but our cadre system itself has problems, which have made some people devote their energy to chasing official positions, and even ignore the responsibilities they really need to bear. Comrade Hu Aimin's affairs taught us a lesson. No matter at any time, we should not forget that we are the public servants of the people and the people have given us the power. We must use the power in our hands to benefit the people, rather than be arrogant!"

The acting mayor of Jiangcheng Zuo Yuanchao nodded with a deep understanding and said, "Deputy Mayor Li said it very well. When we see the problem itself, we must also see the fundamental cause of this problem. Comrade Aimin is not uncommon in our group. For the sake of official positions, some disgraceful means are used, and even forgotten the most basic principles of a party member and a state cadre. People have conscience, and at the critical moment of life and death, we can still see the true qualities of our party members and cadres!"

Hong Weiji pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and whispered: "In peacetime, the tests faced by our party and our cadres are not easy. Don't let peace become a breeding ground for comfort and corruption!" Hong Weiji made the decision to not pursue Hu Aimin without prosecuting Hu Aimin. He did not deny that Hu Aimin's death was a heroic act of sacrificing oneself to save others, but Hu Aimin's problem was also there. Hu Aimin once bribed Yang Shouyi, but Yang Shouyi was involved in the Li Guozheng Case. Although this case has temporarily stagnated, Hong Weiji had a premonition that sooner or later, there will be a day when the old things will be raised again. As the top leader of Jiangcheng City, he cannot act emotionally. He must look at the long term and cannot leave hidden dangers for his future career.

The reason why Li Changyu mentioned this at the Standing Committee was that Qin Qing and Zhang Yang both asked him the issue of treating Hu Aimin fairly. Li Changyu was responsible for Chunyang's flood control command work. He learned a lot of things in Chunyang. Hu Aimin's deeds were indeed very touching, but seeing Hong Weiji's attitude, he already understood that it was difficult to overturn Hu Aimin's case.

As expected, Hong Weiji didn't want to get too involved in this matter. He turned the topic to the development of Jiangcheng. Acting mayor Zuo Ai Korea proposed a plan to build the Third Ring Road, and then distributed the plan to each Standing Committee member for discussion.

The construction of the Third Ring Road was proposed as early as when Xu Changde was the secretary of the municipal party committee. However, due to the funding issue, Zuo Ai Korea became the acting mayor and proposed that if he wants to fundamentally change the appearance of Jiangcheng, he must start by improving municipal infrastructure. The construction of the Third Ring Road is an important part of his policy.

Hong Weiji smiled and said, "It's still an old problem, capital! What we lack the most in Jiangcheng is funds! Building roads is a good thing, but how to solve the problem of funds? We have to build development zones, develop tourism, and build the Third Ring Road. How can we get so much money? I think we'll do it step by step!"

Li Changyu agreed with the view of Zuo Aiding Korea on this point. He whispered: "This spring flood shows that the infrastructure of various districts and counties in Jiangcheng is very poor. Not only does the roads need to be built, but ditches and rivers need to be cleared, and they must be carried out immediately. Otherwise, we may face more severe situations this summer."

Hong Weiji said: "If Jiangcheng wants to develop, the economy is the foundation, and the burden on our investment promotion office is heavy again!"

Li Changyu raised another question: This heavy rain caused some ancient city walls in Jiangcheng to collapse, and it required some funds for emergency repairs.

Hong Weiji smiled and said, "This matter should be fine. Andhong did not invest 200 million yuan in the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area, and he could allocate part of the funds to build the ancient city wall!"

Zuo Yuanchao said: "Secretary Hong, the money invested by Andeheng was to repair Nanlin Temple, rebuild the Buddha Light Pagoda, and build the food shopping plaza. The memorandum of understanding we signed did not include the follow-up development project of the ancient city wall."

Hong Weiji frowned: "What's the difference?"

Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said, "Special funds are used for special purposes, especially for foreign investments. If we do this without the permission of others, we may not be able to do so!"

Li Changyu's heart was quietly moved. He suddenly discovered that there was a huge flaw and loophole in Andeheng's investment plan. Andeheng's investment in Jiangcheng may not be optimistic about Jiangcheng's tourism prospects. What he values ​​are projects that can gain benefits in the short term. He wants to recover the investment in the shortest time.

Zuo Yuanchao had already kicked the ball to Li Changyu, and he whispered: "People's travel is in charge of Deputy Mayor Li, so it's up to Deputy Mayor Li to think of a solution for this matter!"

Zhang Yang stood in front of the collapsed ancient city wall. Fortunately, there were no people around when the city wall collapsed, and no serious casualties occurred. This was a blessing in disgrace. Originally, the Tourism Bureau was not responsible for this, but Qin Chuanliang called him and respected his father-in-law Zhang Yang. He came to the scene as soon as possible and saw Qin Chuanliang walking in the ruins of the city wall. His expression on his face was extremely painful and regretful. He had already proposed the suggestions for repairing and protecting the ancient city wall. But until now, he has not seen that the Jiang City Government has a specific implementation plan. Although the city leaders have paid unprecedented attention to the development of tourism recently, most of the focus is on the Nanlin Temple where the Buddha's relics are found. This section of the ancient city wall is still in an overlooked position.

Zhang Yang arrived, and Executive Vice Mayor Li Changyu also came here. He walked to Zhang Yang and looked at Qin Chuanliang in the distance with Zhang Yang. He couldn't help but sigh: "Old Qin has mentioned to me many times about maintaining the ancient city wall, but unfortunately I have not paid enough attention to it, which has led to the current situation."

Zhang Yang also understood that although Li Changyu is the executive vice mayor, there are several more people in Jiangcheng City than him. He doesn't speak in a word. Otherwise, they would not be at a disadvantage in the struggle of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area and watch his political achievements be taken away by others. Zhang Yang is a person who is unwilling to fail, and so is Li Changyu, but Li Changyu is more patient than Zhang Yang in this regard. He is not that he does not want to fight back, but that he is choosing the opportunity. Once the time is ripe, he will definitely strike with all his strength and not give his opponent a chance to breathe.

Zhang Yang said: "Now the ancient city wall is within the scope of the development of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area, and the maintenance issues should be jointly solved by the municipal government and Andheng!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "An Deheng is a businessman. He wants to make a profit when investing, and he is eager to make a profit in the short term!" He looked at the collapsed ancient city wall in front and said, "The city will leave the problem of the ancient city wall to me to solve. Mayor Zuo divided the ancient city wall and the Nanlin Temple scenic area very broadly. He believed that the special funds should be used for special purposes!"

Zhang Yang said disdainfully: "As they want to take advantage of them, they hide aside when they come to paying money!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "It depends on two things. What is cheap? What is suffering? Things are developing dialectically, and Jiangcheng is also constantly developing and changing. As the director of the Market Development Department of the Tourism Bureau, should you do something? Also, you are the deputy director of the Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office. Since you took office, you have never seen you have any outstanding achievements. If you continue like this, even if I can't help you, others will not be able to see it!"

Zhang Yang whispered: "Is the city short of money?"

Li Changyu looked up at the gloomy sky and whispered: "Jiangcheng may face the fastest-growing era in history. Building development zones, developing tourism, and building the Third Ring Road requires a lot of funds, which means unprecedented opportunities and challenges for each of us. Zhang Yang, don't limit your eyes to Nanlin Temple, but focus on the entire Jiangcheng. Only by standing at a higher place can you see a further range!"

Zhang Yang nodded slowly. From Li Changyu's words, he realized a realm, a realm that he could not reach at present. He understood Li Changyu's future plans, and Li Changyu had never changed his strategy to develop a green economy in Jiangcheng.

Li Changyu has been reflecting during this period. He is looking for his past shortcomings. He has too great hope in the development of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area. Therefore, once there is a problem in the scenic area, he will give the left aid to Korea. In the first confrontation, the reason for his real defeat was that his vision was too narrow and limited. If he wanted to be invincible, he had to establish a plan for Dajiang City and look at the development of Jiangcheng from the overall perspective.

When Gu Jiatong and his sisters arrived in Jiangcheng, it was the end of the spring flood in Jiangcheng. The city area seemed very messy and dirty. There was still a lot of water on the road and it was muddy. Gu Jiatong drove all the way and had traffic jams for an entire hour after entering the Second Ring Road. She felt so depressed. Unexpectedly, Jiangcheng was even more congested than Dongjiang's traffic. She came over with the idea of ​​giving Zhang Yang a surprise, so she didn't call in advance. Seeing that it was already over one o'clock, Gu Yangyang couldn't help but feel anxious when he was moving forward: "Sister, don't you call Brother Zhang, what if he is not in Jiangcheng?"

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "I didn't tell him that we were coming over on May Day, he wouldn't go far!" In fact, Gu Jiatong originally said that she came over on May Day. Today is only April 29th, and she was two days earlier than expected.

Gu Yangyang was holding the biscuits and gnawing, originally hoping to have a good meal at noon.

Seeing that the road ahead was not eased, Gu Jiatong had to pick up her cell phone and call Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang has been investigating the damage of the city wall in the past two days. The matter is similar to what he expected. And Deheng heard that the ancient city wall was completely defeated. He built the Nanlin Temple scenic area. The government won the memorandum of understanding with the government to repair the Nanlin Temple, which does not include the ancient city wall. And Deheng said this not only did not make Zhang Yang feel depressed, but instead made this guy happy. In the past two days, he and Li Changyu have drawn up plans to build the Jiangcheng scenic area. Although the Nanlin Temple is lively, a monk temple will not become much more powerful.

According to Qin Chuanliang's original concept, the Nanlin Temple scenic area built was centered on this ancient temple, and the other center was the ancient city wall. However, Andeheng took the initiative to give up the renovation of the ancient city wall, which was equivalent to giving up another tourism development point. From this, it can be seen that Andeheng's investment in tourism was more important to exchange for the support of the Jiangcheng Municipal Government and obtain land for the development zone and textile factory. The 200 million investment he claimed included was too wide, which fully demonstrated the cunning and wisdom of a businessman, and was too utilitarian.

When he heard that Gu Jiatong had arrived at the Second Ring Road, Zhang Yang was overjoyed. From Gu Jiatong's description, he learned that Gu Jiatong is not far from where he is. He was calling and trotted all the way over. When he came to Gu Jiatong's car, he found that the Second Ring Road was still blocked.

Gu Yangyang saw Zhang Yang appearing on the street in a denim dress, and hurriedly fell down the car window and waved to him.

Zhang Yang came over happily and signaled Gu Jiatong to drive over from the gap in the guardrail and drove the car directly onto the sidewalk. Anyway, the car couldn't move for a while, so he simply stopped and went to have a meal first.

Gu Jiatong couldn't help but complain: "The transportation in your Jiangcheng is too poor. My Yangyang and I have been in a jammed place for an hour."

Gu Yangyang complained, "I'm almost starving to death!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Who told you to come suddenly, and you didn't call in advance. I want to know that you have booked a hotel in Yayun Lake when you come here."

Gu Jiatong said: "It won't be so troublesome, just eat something casually!"

Zhang Yang pointed in front and walked over from the alley with the two. There was an ancient city rooster restaurant beside the ancient city wall, famous for being a rooster. Zhang Yang has been inspecting the city wall these two days and basically has eaten here. When the boss saw Zhang Yang coming over, he brought them a stewed rooster first. Zhang Yang ordered a few more Jiangcheng local dishes and ordered a few bottles of beer.

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "I forgot. I brought you two boxes of Moutai in the car, so I will follow my dad!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "This habit is not good. Let Secretary Gu know that if I steal his wine, I will probably have to punish me as a section-level cadre tomorrow."

Princess Gu Yangyang laughed. Because the weather was hot, she poured a glass of beer for the first time. Both sisters were hungry and didn't be polite to Zhang Yang. She picked up the chopsticks and started eating. She put her stomach half full, and Gu Jiatong also had the strength to speak: "What are you doing here if you don't work at the Tourism Bureau?"

Zhang Yang said: "Do you know what I do in the Tourism Bureau?"

"Chief of the Market Development Section!" Gu Yangyang answered first.

Zhang Yang frowned: "I said raising is called the Market Development Department!"

Gu Jiatong couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with the Market Development Department? It's a section-level cadre. You can't become a department-level cadre just because you are called the Development Department? Vaing!"

Official Zhang is not only vain, but also not ordinary vain. This director sounds like a better person than the section chief!

Gu Jiatong said: "Then...Director Zhang, now you can tell me what I'm doing here, right?"

Zhang Yang pointed to the dilapidated ancient city wall not far outside the window: "Jiangcheng was hit by heavy rain two days ago, and a section of the ancient city wall collapsed. The city handed over this matter to our Tourism Bureau. I am investigating the situation around the city wall."

Although Gu Jiatong is not in the system, she is still clear about the functions of various departments in the officialdom. This matter should belong to the Cultural Relics Bureau. Why is it the Tourism Bureau's turn? She raised her own questions.

Zhang Yang said: "Now the Garden and Cultural Relics Bureau is in charge of the construction of the Nanlin Temple scenic area. People can't take care of the matter here. I am idle, so I'll take a look and find investments to see if someone is willing to help build this ancient city wall!"

Gu Jiatong said: "You are so careless!"

"That's right, although I am just a false reputation, I am also the deputy director of Jiangcheng Investment Promotion Office and Chairman Gu, are you interested in investing in Jiangcheng?"

Gu Jiatong glared at him and said, "We sisters are here to travel, so let's not discuss business matters!" To be honest, Gu Jiatong has been in a little depressed recently. The auction of Dongjiang Textile Department Store has been frustrated, and she does not want to mention business matters for the time being.

Zhang Yang also had a deep understanding of this. He received a call from Fang Wennan while having dinner. He was hesitating whether he would tell him about Gu Jiatong coming to Jiangcheng. Gu Jiatong heard that it was Fang Wennan and smiled and said, "Tell Mr. Fang that I'm here!"

Fang Wennan was also very enthusiastic when he learned that Gu Jiatong had arrived in Jiangcheng. He immediately proposed to hold a banquet to welcome Gu Jiatong in the evening. Although the cooperation in Dongjiang ended in failure, Fang Wennan still showed his due demeanor.

Gu Jiatong took the phone from Zhang Yang and politely declined his kindness.

But not long after hanging up the phone, I saw Fang Wennan driving to the hotel where they were.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, you are a genius in intelligence work. I didn't tell you where you are. How could you find it?"

Fang Wennan explained with a smile: "I know you have been here at the ancient city wall these two days. When you saw your car parked in front of the hotel, you came here.

Zhang Yang knew that Fang Wennan was in a hurry to come, so he asked the boss to add a set of tableware to him.

Gu Yangyang was full and got up to see the ancient city wall.

Fang Wennan said: "It's all my own people, and I don't hide it from you. Director Zhang, I asked you to arrange for me to meet Mayor Li!"

Zhang Yang nodded happily and said, "This matter is easy to deal with. I'll make an appointment with him to tell you!"

Fang Wennan looked at Gu Jiatong and smiled and said, "Why didn't Miss Gu come here?"

Only then did Gu Jiatong tell me what was blocked just now.

Fang Wennan sighed: "Now the urban traffic in Jiangcheng can no longer adapt to the development of the city, and traffic jams occur almost every day. Such a large city should have built the Third Ring Road..." He paused for a moment and said to Zhang Yang: "I heard that the city has planned to build the Third Ring Road, and I found Mayor Li for this reason."

Only then did Zhang Yang realize that Fang Wennan was frustrated in Dongjiang investment, he immediately turned his attention to Jiangcheng. He was attracted by the project of the Third Ring Road. Zhang Yang also heard Li Changyu mention this matter. It seemed that the city intends to hand over this work to Li Changyu, but with Li Changyu's current status, it should not be decided, and the decision is in the hands of Hong Weiji. Zhang Yang knew Fang Wennan very well and knew that this person never fought a battle of no confidence. Since he was looking for Li Changyu, he must have heard some news.

Fang Wennan has indeed heard some rumors, which is very reliable. Su Xiaohong knew from the municipal party committee secretary Hong Weiji that the city had initially decided to build the Third Ring Road. According to Hong Weiji's intention, the specific projects of the Third Ring Road will be handed over to the Executive Vice Mayor Li Changyu. This may seem strange to ordinary people. After all, the loudest clamor for the construction of the Third Ring Road is the acting mayor Zuo Aid Korea, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully. Secretary Hong is trying to find a balance to balance the power between the acting mayor and the executive vice mayor. The leaps and aid Korea are obviously not a good thing.

Fang Wennan also understood that it was not suitable for disturbing others now. After saying a few words, he said goodbye and left. When he left, he paid the meal first. He proposed to arrange for Gu Jiatong to stay in Dihao Shengshi at night. Gu Jiatong saw that the affection was difficult, so he could only nod and agreed.

Zhang Yang and Gu Jiatong walked out of the door and came to the ancient city wall. They found that Gu Yangyang had already climbed the city wall. Gu Jiatong was worried about danger on it, so she hurriedly walked up the steps with Zhang Yang. Although Gu Jiatong had just said that business matters were not discussed, she was still thinking about hearing that Jiangcheng was going to build the Third Ring Road. She whispered: "Jiangcheng really wants to build the Third Ring Road?"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It should be settled. You have also seen the traffic situation just now. If you don't build the Third Ring Road, this city can no longer accommodate so much traffic!"

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "This is a good opportunity!"

The two walked up the moss-covered city wall. Gu Yangyang stood at the moat in the distance, looking at the moat flowing south. Although the river water was a little turbid, the scene of weeping willows undulating with the wind was quite intoxicating. Looking further south, there was a small lake in the distance. The lake surface was sparkling, and sometimes a few egrets flew by. Going west along the moat, there was an old street. There were many ancient buildings built on both sides of the old street. Many of these buildings were left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although they were seriously damaged, they still maintained their former appearance.

Gu Yangyang sincerely praised: "It's so beautiful here. Standing here is like returning to ancient times!"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "There was nothing fun in ancient times, but now it's much more free!"

Gu Jiatong smiled and said, "I heard you speak like someone who has experienced it!"

Zhang Yang thought to himself, I am naturally a person who has been here. I am from the Sui Dynasty. However, he could not say such words to Gu Jiatong, nor could he tell anyone.

Gu Jiatong stood on the city wall and looked at it, and admired the scenery around the ancient city wall.

Zhang Yang said: "If we build the ancient city wall, dig the moat again, and then repair the ancient street, the ancient city wall scenery belt will begin to take shape."

Obedient and listened to the sound. Gu Jiatong already understood what he meant. This guy still didn't give up and wanted to convince her to invest in Jiangcheng tourism. Although Gu Jiatong had nothing to say, Gu Yangyang admired Zhang Yang's plan. She clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's get some pleasure boats on this moat and find someone to wear ancient costumes to perform. The ancient street is arranged according to ancient regulations and will definitely attract many tourists!"

Gu Jiatong bit her red lips and looked at the two of them with a smile, but still said nothing.

Zhang Yang told him the news that Fang Wennan wanted to meet Li Changyu. Li Changyu was a little surprised. He was about to be responsible for the Third Ring Road Project. Only Hong Weiji mentioned it to him alone. Even other members of the Standing Committee did not know that Fang Wennan must have heard some news and found himself through Zhang Yang. Since this news was not revealed by himself, only Hong Weiji. When Li Changyu learned that Hong Weiji was going to let him be responsible for the Third Ring Road Project, he knew that Hong Weiji was trying to balance the power between him and the left aid Korea. The Left Aid Korea has been too popular recently, so Hong Weiji wanted to use himself to check and balance him. If Fang Wennan's news was really revealed by Hong Weiji, it proved that Hong Weiji's attitude in this matter was still shirking responsibility. Li Changyu did not admire this old classmate's old schoolmate's political skills. Such a person might be able to achieve stability, but he would never be able to do something real big.

Li Changyu thought about it before telling Zhang Yang about his determination to be responsible for the Third Ring Road Project. Zhang Daguan's understanding was much better than in the past. He immediately understood that this was the real purpose of Fang Wennan's desire to get close to Li Changyu. Zhang Yang also thought that Li Changyu was responsible for the Third Ring Road Project. Using this matter not only allowed the Third Ring Road to be built, but also the construction of the ancient city wall scenic area can be implemented. Since Andheng was able to use the construction of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area, obtain the textile factory land from the city, and obtain a lot of land from the development zone, he could use the same method to do it more beautifully. He told Li Changyu about his initial ideas.

Li Changyu did not express any opinions on this, but just chuckled: "It would be great if Miss Gu was willing to invest!"
