Chapter 356 [Seeking advice] (Part 1)

Zhang Yang said: "Minister Xu, I am not very familiar with Fengze's situation. I have only read some information about Fengze recently!"

Xu Biao said: "You asked the right person. Before Fengze became a county-level city, I served as the county magistrate of Fengze and the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Fengze is a major grain producer in Jiangcheng and an important agricultural town. Most of them are plains. Fengze has Fengze Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in Pinghai, which is connected to Qingjiang and has a very rich fishery resources."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I understand all these things, a good place for fish and rice!"

Xu Yabei said: "I still remember that I lived by Fengze Lake when I was a child and ate a lot of fish and shrimp."

Xu Biao said: "Chen Qinghua, the current secretary of the municipal party committee of Fengze, is now 58 years old. If you are not surprised, you should work in Fengze until you retire. This person sat up from the grassroots level and never left the political arena of Jiangcheng. He is one of the veterans of Jiangcheng system. He is steady in his work and has a good reputation in politics. He is a well-known honest official. On weekdays, he always walks through the county party committee’s family compound without a driver."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's rare!"

Xu Biao said: "You should be very familiar with Mayor Sun Dongqiang. He has not been to Fengze for long. However, from the feedback, his reputation is pretty good. After all, with Director Zhao, a political veteran, his progress is obvious." Xu Biao is worthy of being an organizational work. He told several members of Fengze's city standing committee members as they knew it. Zhang Yang nodded frequently. He collected most of the information and got more from Xu Biao. Today's meal was not in vain. Even the organization department talked and understood the situation of Fengze cadres.

Zhang Yang asked for advice carefully: "Minister Xu, what kind of working method should I use when I go to Fengze?"

Xu Biao said: "As the saying goes, a new official takes office for three fires. In fact, that is misleading. Those who dare to set fire must be those who have the right to speak. The secretary of the Fengze Municipal Party Committee can set fires, the mayor can set fires, and even the Standing Committee members can set fires. But it is not so appropriate for you, the deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and health, to set fires. But if you don't set fires, others will say you are inaction and incompetent. Just as you said just low-key, you are low-key these days, others will not say you are humble, you will only say you are cowardly, you will only say you are incompetent."

Zhang Yang was a little confused when he heard this. Xu Biao said that setting fires is not appropriate, and he said that it is not good to be low-key. Could it be that he, the deputy mayor, can only set fires secretly?

Xu Biao said: "I just said that you, the deputy mayor, are easy to do. If you just want to fill your term, you can obey orders and follow commands. If you want to make a difference, you have to judge the situation."

Zhang Yang said: "To put it bluntly, I am a small official, but in fact I don't have any power!"

Xu Biao smiled and said, "Not all, any organizational structure is full of factional struggles. This is a Chinese characteristic and cannot be avoided. When you go to Fengze, the first thing you face is the problem of taking sides. Even if you don't consider it, there will definitely be someone to win you over. See the form clearly and then decide what to do next. If you can't see clearly, just gangsters."

Xu Yawei said: "Dad, why do you always advise Zhang Yang to live a life? The new official is taking office and it is time to make great achievements. Instead of saying encouragement, you keep giving up. This is a bit too unreasonable."

Xu Biao laughed and scolded: "You know nothing!"

"I don't know anything, I'm a captain!"

"How many people can be on a boat? How can you understand the complexity of politics!" Xu Biao turned to Zhang Yang and said, "Zhang Chi is the right way to deal with the situation. Appoint you as the deputy mayor of Fengze City. Secretary Du is under a lot of pressure. You must work hard and prove your abilities as soon as possible."

After Zhang Yang left Xu Biao's house that night, he visited Li Changyu. Li Changyu and his wife Ge Chunli were watching TV. Since losing the competition for mayor, Li Changyu has obviously been much more low-key. This is not only reflected in the Standing Committee, but also in specific work. He rarely put forward pioneering ideas and suggestions, but just silently acted as an executor of superior policies. This is also the reason why his relationship with the left aid to Korea has rapidly eased and even became much more tacit understanding.

After Aunt Su's death, Zhang Yang came to Li Changyu's house significantly less often. Ge Chunli was very surprised when she saw Zhang Yang visiting: "Zhang Yang! I haven't seen you one day!"

Zhang Yang smiled and shouted: "Aunt Ge!"

Ge Chunli turned around and said, "Changyu! Zhang Yang is here!"

Li Changyu said: "Please invite him in!"

Li Changyu was sitting on the sofa holding a cigarette in his hand. A Taiwanese drama was playing on the TV. Ge Chunli poured Zhang Yang a cup of tea and immediately focused on the TV program.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Li, when did you like watching these bitter dramas?"

Li Changyu smiled helplessly and said, "You Aunt Ge insisted on letting me accompany you, saying that it was to relax your brain. When I heard the people in the play talk, my scalp became numb." He stood up and pointed outside: "Let's talk outside, don't delay your Aunt Ge watching TV!"

Zhang Yang responded, took the teacup and came to the yard with Li Changyu, and sat under the vines.

Li Changyu smiled and said, "Did you come along?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. Mayor Li's eyes are like a torch!"

Li Changyu said: "You are slick and you are about to become Deputy Mayor Fengze, so you should be more steady."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, yes!"

Li Changyu said: "It's good to go to Fengze. After Secretary Gu left office, Pinghai's political arena will definitely face a storm. Fengze is considered a safe haven."

"Sun Dongqiang is the mayor, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful when I go to Fengze!" Zhang Yang spoke as straightforwardly as ever in front of Li Changyu.

Li Changyu said: "There is no eternal enemy or eternal friend in politics. Only political interests are eternal!"

Zhang Yang was stunned.

Li Changyu took a breath and said, "Fengze's right to speak is not in Sun Dongqiang's hands, nor in your hands. But in Shen Qinghua's hands, Shen Qinghua is a well-known honest official. This person is very steady in his work, a bit conservative and stubborn. You have to be more careful when you get along with him."

Zhang Yang said: "I am just a small official in charge of culture, education and security. I try not to meddle in other people's business!"

Li Changyu said: "It is not easy to do culture, education and security. If you work hard for two years, I will help you if you have any difficulties!" Li Changyu's words were sincere.

Zhang Yang nodded gratefully.

Li Changyu said again: "When Secretary Du nominated you as Deputy Mayor of Fengze City, many members of the Standing Committee came out to oppose it. I think this Jiangcheng will become more and more uneasy."

Zhang Yang said disdainfully: "Since I was running for the top ten youths, I offended Zhao Yanglin. He always wanted to mess with me!"

Li Changyu sighed in his heart. From the fact that Zhang Yang was nominated as Deputy Mayor of Fengze City, it can be seen that there have been changes within the municipal standing committee. The biggest change was that the mayor left aid to Korea and left aid to Korea voted against it. What's more, it was related to Zhang Yang. The relationship between Left aid to Korea and Zhang Yang was once very close. His attitude was intriguing. Like Left aid to Korea, the new Standing Committee member Xiao Ming also showed an ambiguous attitude. With his relationship with Zhang Yang, he should have supported it, but he proposed a vote.

Municipal Party Secretary Du Tianye obviously saw this. He refused to vote because he was not sure and had no confidence to let the proposal be passed. As expected, there was no eternal friend in politics. Li Changyu understood that whether Zhang Yang left or stayed, this political struggle in Jiangcheng would inevitably come.

Zhang Yang said: "Uncle Li, I came here to learn from you. It was the first time I have been in such a job and managed so many people. I don't know where to start!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "I can't teach you anymore. Judging from your actions based on my experience and experience, I almost always shake my head. If I were in your position, I would definitely not use your method of handling it. But the facts prove that your method is very effective, and you should do things according to your original intention. In short, as long as you have a clear conscience, you can do it well in any position."

Zhang Yang nodded: "I'm going to ask Chang Lingfeng to Fengze to help me, he has a good way to do the economy."

Li Changyu couldn't help laughing. With his understanding of Zhang Yang, this kid must have a big fight in Fengze. Du Tianye put him in Fengze, obviously creating conflicts. Could it be that the young municipal party secretary is ready to attack Zhao Yanglin?

Li Changyu said: "We must pay attention to establishing good relations with local officials in Fengze. Fengze Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shen Qinghua was inspected by the Organization Department when he was inspected by the Organization Department. He was rejected because of his age. Shen Qinghua's official voice is very good and has great prestige in Fengze. He almost all the grassroots cadres in Fengze City promoted him. Although Fengze is a county-level city, Shen Qinghua is at the deputy department level."

Zhang Yang said: "I don't know if he has any disease?"

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Li Changyu couldn't help but feel a little fever with an old face. He coughed twice, looked behind him, and lowered his voice: "My body is not as good as before recently..."

When Zhang Yang saw Li Changyu's expression as ugly as a little girl, he couldn't help laughing. When he smiled, Li Changyu felt even more embarrassed and whispered: "Please help me diagnose the pulse!"

Zhang Yang helped him take a pulse diagnosis: "No problem, maybe it's because the work pressure is too high. I'll give you the method of meditation and breathing. You can practice it every day."

Li Changyu sighed and said, "I haven't practiced for a while!"

Zhang Yang's appointment to serve as deputy mayor in Fengze City was finally officially issued. The news soon spread. The entire Jiangcheng system was in an uproar. Some were envious, some were jealous, and more gossiping. He came to make contact with each other and calls for treats were endless. Zhang Yang refused. He went to the wooden house in Xiaonan Lake to live. There were two days left to take office, so he wanted to have a good rest.

But some people cannot refuse, such as Qiao Mengyuan.

Qiao Mengyuan called this to congratulate Zhang Yang on her promotion, and asked to hold a banquet at the New Emperor that night to see Zhang Yang off.

Zhang Yang agreed without thinking about it. Qiao Mengyuan's old man Qiao Zhenliang will come to Pinghai to take charge. He and Qiao Mengyuan must maintain a good relationship, and maybe it will come in handy at any time.

Zhang Yang met Zhao Yanglin, director of the National People's Congress, in front of the new empress. Although he didn't like this old guy, he still needed to take into account the matter of face. Zhang Yang smiled and took the initiative to walk over, stretched out his hand and said, "Director Zhao, such a coincidence, are you here to have dinner?"

Zhao Yanglin smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yang: "Xiao Zhang, I made an appointment with a few old friends here to meet. You are..."

Zhang Yang pointed to Qiao Mengyuan wearing a blue dress and said, "Mr. Qiao invites me!"

Zhao Yanglin's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Qiao Mengyuan walking in elegant steps, she thought to herself, is this kid trying to get in touch with Secretary Qiao Mengyuan? Everyone in the eyes of the conspirator is a conspirator, and Zhao Yanglin is quite suspicious of everything. With this idea, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Qiao Mengyuan first came to Zhao Yanglin and greeted her, and smiled and said, "Director Zhao is here to have dinner too!" Qiao Mengyuan ignored the specific matters of the hotel. On weekdays, she basically didn't come here except for eating.

Zhao Yanglin often comes to Xindihao. In fact, no matter who invites him to dinner, he always comes here. Zhao Yanglin is a person who pays attention to details. He believes that even a meal is a support for Qiao Mengyuan. His support for Qiao Mengyuan is to show goodwill to Secretary Qiao. Zhao Yanglin smiled and said, "I like the environment here, and the taste of Xindihao dishes is especially suitable for me!"

Zhang Yang said: "Director Zhao is old, so it's better to eat lighter. The dishes of Xindihao are a bit spicy!" His words were just a pun.

When a political veteran like Zhao Yanglin heard this, he tasted the irony. Zhao Yanglin smiled and said, "There is no way. I can't eat without peppers in my life. I can't learn from Chairman Mao anymore!" He is quite good at gilding on his face.

At this time, several more people came over, and one of them turned out to be the deputy mayor Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming was stunned when he saw Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang took the initiative to greet him: "Mayor Xiao is here to have dinner too!"

Xiao Ming nodded with a smile, and Zhao Yanglin smiled and said, "We are together!" When Xiao Ming heard this, his expression on his face was obviously a little unnatural.

Zhang Yang laughed: "Mayor Xiao's alcohol tolerance is not very good. Drink two less glasses. Director Zhao is famous for a huge amount!"
