Chapter 311 [Snatch the Scholarship] (Part 1)

Zhang Yang decided to follow everyone's advice, return to work early, break the rumors about him with practical actions, and divert the attention of people around him.

The jeep of Zhang Daren drove into the courtyard of the old municipal party committee, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. The courtyard of the old municipal party committee was one enterprise reform office and the other investment promotion office. Zhang Yang was the deputy director of these two departments and the actual person in charge of these two places.

The first person Zhang Yang met was Ma Huacheng, director of the Enterprise Reform Office. He was standing under a tree not far away talking to his son Ma Dejun.

When Ma Huacheng saw Zhang Yang's face, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang is back!" His relationship with Zhang Yang is still very good. Ma Huacheng was transferred from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to the Enterprise Reform Office, and he had no thoughts. He understood that the Enterprise Reform Office was arrested by Zhang Yang. After he came here, he told Zhang Yang that he would go through the motions and only grasp the party affairs. Other things were still done step by step. I, the director of the Enterprise Reform Office, were just a decoration, and I was here to wait for retirement. Ma Huacheng's wisdom successfully won Zhang Yang's favor, so Zhang Yang also devoted his support to him and transferred Ma Dejun to the Investment Promotion Office with Li. Ma Huacheng kept this favor in his heart.

Ma Dejun respectfully called Director Zhang. Although he had not been in the investment promotion office for a long time, he admired Zhang Yang's ability. In fact, Ma Huacheng was just talking to him just now. Recently, he was talking about Zhang Yang's sick leave, so Ma Dejun also discussed a few words. It happened to be heard by his old man, so Ma Huacheng called him out and scolded him hard. Ma Huacheng thought that others could discuss, but he could not discuss, and was mixed in the system. Remember that disaster came from the mouth. If you don't have that mind, you should less get involved with others and do more and talk less. This is the foundation for being able to gain a foothold in the system. Ma Huacheng still knows his son very well. Ma Dejun is impatient and cannot calm down when encountering problems. Such a temper cannot do much in the system. Ma Huacheng did not expect his son to make achievements in his career in the future, and to find a job safely and support himself.

Ma Dejun was shocked when he saw Zhang Yang and was sweating. No wonder the old man said that there were ears in the wall. If he had heard Zhang Yang's words just now, he would probably not be able to stay in the investment promotion office.

Ma Huacheng said: "You haven't gone back to do things yet?" This sentence reminded Ma Dejun. He said goodbye to Zhang Yang and turned around and walked towards the department.

Zhang Yang smiled politely and said, "Director Ma, nothing happened at home during the period of time I left, right?"

Ma Huacheng smiled and said, "The enterprise reform office is quite stable." His answer was very artistic, not only telling Zhang Yang that it is stable, but also vaguely revealing that the investment promotion office is not very peaceful.

Zhang Yang nodded.

Although Ma Huacheng is also very curious about what happened to Zhang Yang during this period, he will not ask. An old cadre who has been living in the system for so long will never make such low-level mistakes.

Ma Huacheng said: "Go to the office to sit down, those young people talk about you all day long."

Zhang Yang said: "I'd better go to the investment promotion office first to say hello!"

The person Zhang Yang wanted to see the most was Chang Lingfeng. Chang Lingfeng was in charge during the period when he left Jiangcheng. He believed in Chang Lingfeng's ability, and there was also a tacit understanding between Chang Lingfeng and him. But what disappointed Zhang Yang was that Chang Lingfeng was not in the office.

Zhang Yang met Zhang Ruirong in the corridor. Zhang Ruirong held a thick stack of documents. When she saw Zhang Yang appear, she screamed, as if she had encountered a ghost in broad daylight.

Zhang Yang glared at her dissatisfiedly and said, "What's your name? Don't know me? It's in broad daylight, and you're even stepped on your tail!"

Zhang Ruirong didn't talk back to Zhang Yang, with a knowing smile on the corner of his lips: "Director Zhang, you're cured!" This is really meaningful. Others don't know what Zhang Yang has done during this period. She knows a little. Although she is not clear about the specific situation, as a national security staff member, she knows that Zhang Yang has done a grand event in Europe. His actions directly led to changes in the senior management of the National Security Bureau. Now her aunt Zhang Bijun has been promoted to the director of the Tenth Bureau.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Where is Chang Lingfeng?"

Zhang Ruirong said: "I have been on sick leave for three days!"

Zhang Yang frowned and remembered Chang Lingfeng's body. Could it be that his old habits had occurred again? Zhang Ruirong said: "He said that if Director Zhang comes back, go to Biyuan Community's home to find him."

Zhang Yang was about to speak when he heard Xiao Guitang's laughter coming from behind: "Director Zhang, you are back!"

Zhang Yang smiled and turned around: "Deputy Director Xiao, what big joy will make you happy like this?"

Xiao Guitang said: "I am certainly happy to see Director Zhang recovering from health and returning to work!"

Zhang Yang looked at this guy with a hypocritical smile and cursed in his heart, "You fucking wish I wouldn't get sick, it's so fucking hypocritical!" Zhang Yang understood why Xiao Guitang was happy not long after he returned to the office. The projects discussed by Xiao Guitang this time were all marked by Xiao Guitang to his own. Even the Hyde Group, the project that was matched by Chang Lingfeng and finally negotiated was also counted as his performance by Xiao Guitang. This year, Xiao Guitang led three groups and completed the task ahead of schedule.

Zhang Yang is angry, Xiao Guitang, you are so brave enough. I took such a while off for sick leave. You have brought all your achievements to yourself. Do you still have me in your eyes? But then I thought about it, what happened to Chang Lingfeng? With his mind, why would he just let it go and Xiao Guitang do whatever he wants?

Zhang Yang suppressed the fire, stayed in the investment promotion office for a while, and called Chang Lingfeng, and Chang Lingfeng's mobile phone was also turned off. Zhang Yang became a little popular. What was Chang Lingfeng doing? He had to figure out what happened? So he drove to the Biyuan Community where Chang Lingfeng now lives.

When I arrived at Biyuan Community, I realized that Chang Lingfeng was not sick at all. Not only was he not sick, he was in good health now, with a red face and a thrilling spirit. As soon as Zhang Yang entered the door, he began to criticize him: "I said Chang Lingfeng, what are you doing? I went to Europe and asked you to guard the rear for me. You did that? All the projects signed by the European inspection team this time were snatched by Xiao Guitang. What is he? He didn't give any effort from beginning to end. How could he be considered to be his credit in the end?"

Chang Lingfeng smiled and said, "Don't be anxious first, sit down and listen to me talk slowly!"

Zhang Yang sat down angrily, Chang Lingfeng poured him a cup of tea, and smiled and said, "Tao Ping Houkui, my friend just gave me!"

Zhang Yang said: "I'm not in the mood!"

Chang Lingfeng said: "A illness has brought out the temper."

Zhang Yang said: "I am recuperating in Beijing. It is rumored that I am visiting the red light district in Europe with public funds. Unfortunately, I was lucky to have a lottery! I was looking forward to signing a few contracts to use my political achievements to sweep away my bad luck. You gave me this move and gave all the political achievements to the old fox Xiao Guitang."

Chang Lingfeng said: "No wonder you are annoyed!"

Zhang Yang said: "The same goes for you!"

Chang Lingfeng said: "A lot of things happened this month when you left. We are not formally organized and have no right to speak in work. If you go to Europe, Xiao Guitang naturally wants to be the master of his family!"

Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and it was indeed the case. Chang Lingfeng and his group were all mercenaries. When he was there, he could support them. If he was not in Jiangcheng, what would they use to compete with the old guys Xiao Guitang? Zhang Yang said: "Then you can't watch them take all the credit!"

Chang Lingfeng said: "If he wants political achievements, he might as well give him political achievements. There is a saying that if you want more greed, you won't be able to eat them. Xiao Guitang's professional level is really not very good!"

Zhang Yang said: "What do you mean?"

Chang Lingfeng said: "The more he manages, the more problems he has."

Zhang Yang understood that Chang Lingfeng was a bit intentional in doing this. Didn’t Xiao Guitang want to make political achievements while he was not here? Chang Lingfeng simply gave him all his political achievements. Sometimes, before he wanted to swallow his political achievements, he had to consider his own stomach and intestines. Although you have a big appetite, you can’t digest it. If you force yourself to eat it, it will only be a tragedy.

Chang Lingfeng smiled and said, "The two largest contracts of Blue Star and Hyde Group are firmly in your hands. Even if Xiao Guitang jumps around, he will not make any tricks. In the end, he is just a clown who jumps around."

He returned to the study and took out a piece of information, came to Zhang Yang, and smiled and said, "This trip to Europe for the public promotion is very fruitful. But if you analyze it carefully, you will find that there is nothing substantial." Chang Lingfeng pointed to the information and said, "The real highlight is Hyde Group. This matter actually has little to do with the trip to Europe for inspection. The amount involved in the other contracts signed are very small, and the intentions reached are not very meaningful. I investigated these companies.

Background, some companies have little strength, and this time the investment delegation lacks understanding of the actual situation in Europe, so..." Chang Lingfeng picked up the newspaper on the coffee table. The newspaper published the news that the delegation to Europe had achieved fruitful results. Chang Lingfeng smiled disdainfully: "The newspaper is full of nonsense. It won't take long for the leaders to realize that this visit to Europe is a formality. Investment and investment inspection? Traveling with public funds is almost the same, and there is no real result at all."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I am the deputy leader of the inspection team, you are scolding me too." He picked up Chang Lingfeng's information and looked at it. Chang Lingfeng actually knew the situation of the inspection team so clearly in Jiangcheng. This person is indeed very capable.

Chang Lingfeng said: "The inspection team to Europe did not count you. The results achieved by the delegation this time have nothing to do with you, and even the newspapers have not mentioned you. Therefore, the inaction of the inspection team has nothing to do with you. Even if it is pursued in the future, Deputy Mayor Yan will take the responsibility."

Zhang Yang said: "You are indeed a talented person. You can make a decision to win thousands of miles, which means you." But he thought in his heart that the inspection team would not do without him.

Chang Lingfeng said honestly: "Don't think of me so well. I have obtained a lot of information from Xiao Zhang, otherwise I would not have been able to grasp the situation of the European delegation."

Only then did Zhang Yang understand what was going on. With Zhang Ruirong, Chang Lingfeng would of course have a clear understanding of the internal situation of the inspection team.

Chang Lingfeng said again: "I heard that Zhang Ruirong is going to be transferred to Beijing to work?" After a turn, he finally fell on Zhang Ruirong.

Zhang Yang looked at him, and from Chang Lingfeng's eyes, he still found a little reluctant feeling. Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, she has told me that when the matter here is handed over, she will resign and leave. People will go to a higher place. If others have a better chance, we can't stop her, don't you?"

Chang Lingfeng didn't say anything, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but was accidentally scalded.

Seeing his messy look, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Chang Lingfeng, I'm not able to keep her this time. If you want her to stay, go and tell her by yourself!" He knew that Chang Lingfeng had a good impression of Zhang Ruirong, but he had never expressed it. Now that Zhang Ruirong is about to be transferred to Beijing, he must be not so calm. Zhang Yang remembered Zhang Ruirong's original identity again. She was a national security intelligence officer. Chang Lingfeng did not know her true identity. The possibility of the two getting together was slim.

Chang Lingfeng said: "You are right, we can't delay others' future."

Zhang Yang was concerned about his political achievements. He sat closer to Chang Lingfeng: "How is the situation in Hyde Group?"

Chang Lingfeng said: "It's basically decided. With the two cards of Blue Star and Hyde, our investment promotion office will be there!"

Zhang Yang said: "When will you go back to work?"

Chang Lingfeng smiled sly and said, "No hurry. Anyway, Deputy Director Xiao is supported by the investment promotion office. The old comrade is always experienced. You might as well add more tasks to him. By the way, Jin Shangyuan, chairman of Lanxing Group, came to Jiangcheng next week to inspect the installation and commissioning of Huitong's production assembly line, and let Deputy Director Xiao go to the reception."
