Chapter 99: On the officialdom

Zhang Ke pushed the door open and entered the office. The front desk and the administrative assistant had already left after get off work. The office outside was empty. Xu Si and the others were in their respective offices, through the frosted tempered glass, they could see that they had not stopped their busy day. Hearing the noise, Zhou Fu, Jiang Wei, and Xu Si walked out of their offices, and many things had to be decided by Zhang Ke.

Seeing that everyone had something to say, but in a good mood, it ruined the incident at the school gate, Zhang Ke said, "I don't have time to talk about work this night, so I'll come to Xu Si." He said to Xu Si, "Sister Xu Si, let's find a place to have dinner first. Wait a minute, you accompany me to find Xu Hongbo."

"District Mayor Song was very interested and concerned about the renovation of the old factory in the catering and leisure square." Zhou Fu said hurriedly. He felt that this matter was imminent and could not be delayed.

"Oh, I get it," Zhang Ke said in a low tone. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Fu without saying anything more. He walked into his office, took out a file bag from the drawer, and handed it to Jiang Wei, "Director Zhou wants to prepare for the new factory to start production. He has no time and energy to take care of the matter of the catering plaza. This is the food and leisure plaza planning book I took the time to write. Take a look, I need to see three design plans for the catering and leisure plaza next week..."

Zhou Fu was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ke handed over the matter to Jiang Wei the next day. Although the preparations before the new factory was put into production were tedious, he did not have the spare time to take into account the affairs of the old factory. Besides, Jiang Wei was still entangled in the preparations before the new factory was put into production?

Zhang Ke didn't explain anything more and went out with Xu Si. After get off work time, he and Xu Si were the only ones in the elevator.

"Director Zhou is very enthusiastic about the food and leisure square. Before you came, he talked to us a lot of ideas, all of which were quite good. Why did you pour cold water on others?" Xu Si was a little surprised. He couldn't help but ask Zhang Ke when he arrived at the elevator.

"He hasn't figured out his position yet," Zhang Ke curled his lips, "It's me now, and it's Jinhu who pays him a salary. There is no need for him to report everything to Song Peiming. At least before mentioning this matter to Song Peiming, let me know."

"You," Xu Siheng glanced at him, couldn't help but complain, "Why are you so careless?" After saying this, he laughed at himself and said, "You are already so careless!"

What is this evaluation? Seeing Xu Si's soft expression makes people think, Zhang Ke smiled and didn't say anything. Unlike Xu Si, Jiang Wei and Zhou Fu are more emotionally inclined to Song Peiming. I am afraid that Xu Si has not yet seen the relationship between Jiang Wei and Song Peiming. Although the plan is handed over to Jiang Wei or Zhou Fu's responsibility, the final result is no different, but if you don't put pressure on them, it will be difficult to control in the future.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator, he saw Wu Tianbao's fat body appearing on the steps outside the glass door from afar. I wonder if the scene in front of the school gate was Wu Tianbao's intentional arrangement. If that was true, Wu Tianbao really underestimated him. Zhang Ke didn't want to see him, so he pulled Xu Si to hide aside, watched Wu Tianbao push the door and walked into the elevator directly.

"Why are you hiding from him? That's Wu Tianbao from Jianye Hotel. He came to Zhou Fu in the afternoon to discuss the catering and leisure square. Shao Zhigang from the Garden Hotel also came..." Xu Si didn't know what Zhang Ke was trying to beat him, and he could not understand his actions, but he was used to his actions that unexpectedly went to others. He always had some deep meaning and was a little curious.

Shao Zhigang came to the door the next day, and Zhang Ke was not surprised. It seems that the trick at the school gate was probably the director they jointly directed. Zhang Ke told Xu Si what happened at the school gate: "Wu Tianbao is not qualified to put on airs in front of me, but he asked his son to come over. They really look down on themselves! You tell Jiang Wei tomorrow that all the negotiations with Jianye Hotel and Garden Hotel will be stopped for the time being and to calm their appetite first."

"Haha, you!" Xu Si sighed, "Feirong told me about what happened yesterday. She was so scared that she felt very scared. When I heard her say this, I felt cold in my heart."

"Do you think I've overdoed yesterday?"

"How could that happen?" Xu Si smiled, gentle and charming, "I'm a little scared, and I feel relieved after thinking about it. At least in this way, those people will not bother Fei Rong anymore. Fei Rong is actually quite grateful to you, but her age is not unaware of your approach."

Zhang Ke smiled. Only those who have been bullied by cruel reality know that some means are necessary to protect themselves. After finding a restaurant in Qianmen for supper, he took a taxi to the Haizhou Chess Academy located in Qingyang Taoist Temple. Xu Hongbo was guiding several young chess players in the Chess Academy. Zhang Ke first said that he would come here to learn chess, register for the book and pay the fee, and ask Xu Hongbo to guide chess. Only in the chess game, talk about what he said yesterday.

Unlike Xu Hongbo's rigorous attitude towards academic research, Zhang Ke hopes that Xu Hongbo can publish an article in Haizhou Daily to first raise arguments, attract more scholars and citizens to participate in the discussion, so as to create a greater momentum. Zhang Ke knew that Xu Hongbo was quite prestigious in the cultural circle of Haizhou City, and hoped to discuss these issues at least first in this circle.

Xu Hongbo couldn't calm down and played chess. He just pretended to behave with his fingers. He had contacted Zhang Ke several times and was very interested in him. He asked him: "Do you care about politics or your father's career?"

"Accident?"

"No, age doesn't mean anything. In the past, people aged fifteen or sixteen had already taken responsibility, but now teenagers have not experienced things, so they are ignorant, and you are even more exceptional. But then again, Wan Xiangqian lived to be sixty-four years old, and he still didn't know how to advance or retreat?" At this point, Xu Hongbo laughed out loud, which showed that he had never regarded Wan Xiangqian too seriously.

Seeing Xu Hongbo telling him frankly, Zhang Ke didn't want to hide it in front of him, and said, "Tang Xueqian, Zhou Fuming, Wan Xiangqian seems that Tang Xueqian has the shallowest foundation. If you want to do politics, this situation is most beneficial to my father. However, my father is not a political person. He can't learn to be inclined to the incest and balance. In the subtle situation, he will not grasp that he is not close to the vortex. So he needs to break the deadlock..."

"Is the tough situation this summer?" Xu Hongbo asked, "Everyone else chooses to watch and follow the situation at the right time, but your father can unexpectedly break the tough situation. Tang Xueqian escapes from the difficulties, and Ding Xiangshan falls into the situation he sets..."

The Ding Xiangshan case has not been tried publicly, and the control of information disclosure is very strict, just to prevent the recurrence of violations of discipline and leaks during the review of Tang Xueqian. Except for the main leaders in the city, no one knows the real relationship between the Tang Xueqian case and the Ding Xiangshan case. Unexpectedly, Xu Hongbo could guess the rough idea.

Zhang Ke nodded and said, "The current situation in Haizhou City is also a bit stiff. The Ding Xiangshan case made the province collectively silent about Haizhou. Whether it is the provincial party secretary Tao Jin or the governor Li Tianming, they are all silent, but they will not remain silent all the time. I think they will not be satisfied with the stagnant Haizhou. Once they no longer remain silent, the balance between Haizhou is currently led by Tang Xueqian, Zhou Fuming, Wanxiangshan and several other members of the Standing Committee will be broken. At that time, who will go up and down will be unknown..."

"Do you hope that the situation will become clear before they break the silence?" Xu Hongbo smiled. It seemed that the boy in front of him really understood.

"Yes, before the province breaks its silence, Haizhou can act as united and do a big fight. This can increase the province's confidence in the two combinations of Zhou Fuming and Tang Xueqian." Zhang Ke looked at Xu Hongbo and said, "Whose internal friction will eventually damage his interests?"

"My dad?" Zhang Ke pointed at his nose and asked Xu Hongbo.

"As long as your father is a little far away from Tang Xueqian, your father will benefit the most, and it may be possible to become a member of the Standing Committee if he is exceptionally good. After all, Xu Xueping's influence is enough to send your father to the member of the Municipal Standing Committee in advance."

"It makes no sense to discuss these things. My father is not such a person. For a long time, he will follow Tang Xueqian step by step. He is in his forties and has not learned to betray him. He really cannot be considered a qualified official."

Xu Hongbo laughed: "I don't know what your father will feel after hearing this comment. Can I ask, what role did you play this summer?"

"When everyone was at a loss like a headless fly, when Ding Xiangshan hugged his chest and sneered..." Zhang Ke turned his head and looked at Xu Si who was cleaning the chess table in the outer room, "I met Xu Si at that time."

"Oh," Xu Hongbo nodded. This is probably the key reason why Xu Si can escape from being implicated. He didn't ask in detail, "Do you trust Tang Xueqian?"

"At least, Wan Xiangqian is more trustworthy than Zhou Fuming." Zhang Ke said.

"It's hard to imagine, but it's true. You have a clearer understanding of the Haizhou officialdom. Others say that your father's luck is related to Xu Xueping. I think his luck is that he has you as his son," Xu Hongbo smiled and said, "Okay, this article is just a steal of your name. I'll take time to discuss it in the past few days. As for how to arrange it in Haizhou Daily, you still have to come forward. The face of us is no longer valued."
