Chapter 145 [Turn the Defence to the Offensive] (Part 1)

Tea artists skillfully performed tea art in front of them.

Zhang Yang looked at the tea artist's orchid-like fingers, and couldn't help but sigh at the exquisiteness of her skills. Fang Wennan's success was by no means accidental. His sense of smell of business is indeed superior to man.

Li Changyu has been in a state of smoke. Since he became the executive vice mayor, his addiction to smoking has become increasingly greater. Ge Chunli has advised him many times, but he has never been able to quit this old habit.

Fang Wennan made a gesture of asking for tea and said respectfully: "Please, Mayor Li!"

Li Changyu picked up a warm towel from the tray and wiped his hands. Then he picked up the tea cup. He smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea first, then wet his lips and sipped the tea little by little. After closing his eyes for a long time, he sighed: "Good tea!"

Zhang Yang is also a person who knows how to drink tea, but his actions are not as exaggerated as Li Changyu. In his opinion, a person's official position has reached a certain level and he will develop a kind of style. Li Changyu cannot avoid being vulgar. This performance is a little too exaggerated. Can you die without pretending to be so? This guy secretly complained in his heart.

Fang Wennan felt four words from Li Changyu's actions, which was unfathomable. He had confirmed through Su Xiaohong that Li Changyu had been responsible for the project of the Third Ring Road, which means that Li Changyu had absolute say in this matter. A person with power would not be too much of a performance, especially when the person he faced was still asking for him.

Fang Wennan waved his hand and signaled others to withdraw, which led to the topic of the Third Ring Road. According to his understanding, when officials reached the level of Li Changyu, they were good at practicing Tai Chi and kept it a secret, but they did not like others to beat around the bush. If that were the case, they would think it was an insult to their IQ and a waste of time. So Fang Wennan chose the most direct way: "Mayor Li, I heard that the city has decided to build the Third Ring Road?"

Li Changyu had no intention of keeping it in hiding. When Zhang Yang told him about Fang Wennan's meaning, he had already guessed the other party's purpose. He did not directly answer Fang Wennan's question, but asked back: "Your information is very well-informed. The city has not officially announced yet. How do you know?" This sentence is equivalent to admitting that he will be responsible for this matter, and at the same time reminding Fang Wennan that I have guessed your source of information.

Fang Wennan smiled and said, "Through an old friend, I will not be convenient for me to reveal my name. I hope Mayor Li will understand!"

Li Changyu nodded. Fang Wennan indirectly admitted that his relationship with Hong Weiji was extraordinary. Hong Weiji revealed the news to Fang Wennan and asked Fang Wennan to find him. In other words, Hong Weiji belonged to Fang Wennan to take over the project, and he himself didn't want to come forward. He was really an old fox. Li Changyu cursed in his heart, but his expression was still calm: "The city's finances are very tight, and the project will need to advance a lot of funds!" He was not exaggerating, nor did he let Fang Wennan retreat when he saw the difficulties. He wanted to tell Fang Wennan the reality. He knew Fang Wennan's strength very well, and he was the only one who could take over this project in Jiangcheng.

Fang Wennan nodded and said, "Mayor Li, I am fully prepared for this!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "I have some understanding of Shengshi Group. You are a star enterprise in Jiangcheng and have certain strength. In Jiangcheng's project, we will of course consider local enterprises first. This can support the enterprises in our hometown and also help to establish a new image of our Jiangcheng..." He paused and said, "When the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area was planned, I hope that the private enterprises in Jiangcheng would stand up and show your strength, but you all set your attention outside. Haha, aren't business opportunities at home business opportunities?"

Fang Wennan heard it. Li Changyu said that he was unwilling to contribute to his hometown, but after careful consideration, it seemed that there were other meanings in this statement.

Zhang Yang, who had never spoken, smiled and said, "Once Fang is the one who does big things, at that time, he stared at the land in the provincial textile department store. The project at the doorstep was not interesting at all."

Fang Wennan began to realize that Zhang Yang was cooperating with Li Changyu to set him a trap. Although he was on guard from the bottom of his heart, he still couldn't help but continue to walk into the pit dug by others. The project was so tempting. Fang Wennan smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you should know my situation. When the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area was being built, I had already participated in the bidding for Dongjiang Textile Department Store. Seeing the tempting piece of fat at the door of my house, I was not able to swallow it."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "So, your failed bid is a great thing. The fat piece of Nanlin Temple was swallowed up by outsiders. Our Jiangcheng tourism is full of highlights. The ancient city wall and old street are also one of the key tourism projects in the future. Mr. Fang must not miss the opportunity this time."

Even fools can know that the ancient city wall has nothing to do with the Third Ring Road, but Zhang Yang linked these two things together, so Fang Wennan had to think about it. He quickly realized that he was putting forward the conditions. If he wanted to take over the Third Ring Road project, he had to take over the renovation of the ancient city wall. Isn’t this a buy one and a free one? He looked at Li Changyu.

Our Deputy Mayor Li savored the tea leisurely and his eyes lingered on the paintings on the wall, as if this matter had nothing to do with Ben and him.

Fang Wennan smiled bitterly and said, "I know it's fat, but I may not be able to eat it at the same time!" In his opinion, the ancient city wall and the old street are obviously worth something. When possible, he still tried to turn off this chore. The purpose of the merchant is to maximize his interests. He is interested in the Third Ring Road Project and has no interest in the ancient city wall scenery belt.

Li Changyu suddenly spoke: "You can consider the way of cooperative investment! I heard that you and Gu Jiatong have cooperated in the past!"

Fang Wennan completely understood that Li Changyu's words were made clear. If he wanted to take over the Third Ring Road project, he would first have to follow the ancient city wall scenic area project, and another condition was to let Gu Jiatong join. Both conditions might be indispensable.

Li Changyu was so smart that Hong Weiji kicked him the ball, which determined that he would inevitably have an opposition with the left aid Korea in the project of the Third Ring Road. At present, his strength and confidence were somewhat lacking. If Gu Jiatong was brought in, the acting mayor Zuo Aid Korea would have to stare blankly.

Li Changyu had fully expressed his meaning, so there was no need to stay, so he left the tea club first.

Fang Wennan sent Li Changyu away, came back and looked at Zhang Yang with a smirk, and cried out: "I said brother, we won't bring such a tricked person!"

Zhang Yang picked up a cup of tea, imitated Li Changyu's previous appearance, took a sip slowly, and slowly closed his eyes. The same movements looked different in Fang Wennan's eyes. It was natural and normal for Li Changyu to do it, but this guy made it so much that he wanted to hit his face with a punch.

Zhang Yang said: "Mr. Fang, I don't like to go around the corner. I can't bear to let my children go and trap them. If you want to take over the Third Ring Road project, you have to build the ancient city wall scenic area."

"I really don't have such a big appetite!"

"Gu Jiatong has already started preparing for the Third Ring Road project. Don't you want to join?"

Fang Wennan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You, you, I really don't understand what the hell is about this scenic spot?"

"You have to have an attitude, right?"

Fang Wennandao: "As long as I can win the Third Ring Road project, I will take over the renovation of the ancient city wall!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I don't have to say anything about this matter, it depends on Gu Jiatong!"

When the municipal party secretary Hong Weiji announced that Li Changyu would be responsible for the construction command of the Jiangcheng Third Ring Road Project, Zuo Ai Korea's reaction was shocked. As acting mayor and as an advocate of the Third Ring Road Project, he was finally excluded. The inner anger of Zuo Ai Korea was indescribable. Although he also knew that the Third Ring Road Project was a difficult bone to crack, the more difficult it was, it would mean that the political achievements would be more outstanding in the future. In a sense, the Third Ring Road Project and the construction of the Development Zone almost occupies an equally important position. He did not want to give up such political achievements to others.

When Hong Weiji made this decision, he had solicited opinions from the Standing Committee members in advance. Since he took office, he has rarely made such a straightforward decision. Everyone can see that their Secretary Hong is balancing. Acting mayor Zuo Aidong has been too popular recently. Even Hong Weiji, who has always liked to be mixed with others, could not stand it anymore. He wanted to use Li Changyu to hit Left Aidong Korea. However, this method is more clichéd and more common to the Standing Committee members. Many Standing Committee members' actions have been discounted in their minds. No one is opposed to playing with political skills. However, Hong Weiji's use of power is too clear, and he is clearly deliberately creating internal conflicts.

During the whole process, Li Changyu showed An Zhiruosu. He knew Hong Weiji's purpose better than anyone else, but this incident meant a good opportunity for him. No matter what Hong Weiji's starting point was, at least he and himself were standing in the same camp. Political struggle was to use all factors that could be used. If Hong Weiji wanted to use himself, he was also using him. Who could tell him clearly? Gains, losses, victory, and failure. Li Changyu understood that the contradiction between him and Zuo Ai Korea was inevitable. The conflict of political interests determined that they would inevitably become opponents. Zuo Ai Korea won him in the construction of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area. Now he had the opportunity. He wanted Zuo Ai Korea to know his strength and he wanted everyone to see his means.

Li Changyu quickly made Zuo Ai Korea realize his ability to take advantage of the victory and pursue him. He raised the issue of repairing the ancient city wall. This issue has been mentioned many times before, but did not attract enough attention from Zuo Ai Korea. But today Li Changyu not only mentioned the ancient city wall, but also put forward another tourism plan to create an ancient city wall scenic belt! In the past, the ancient city wall and the Nanlin Temple scenic area were proposed together. It belonged to the large scope of the Nanlin Temple scenic area, but after the ancient city wall collapsed, Andheng took the initiative to develop Nanlin Temple and the ancient city.

When the wall scenic area is divided, he is not optimistic about the prospects of the ancient city wall. Moreover, he is a person who is interested in immediate interests. He still reserves this meaningless investment. The reason why he invested in the development of Nanlin Temple without hesitation was because he was attracted by the subsequent impact of the Buddha's relics and the endless benefits that may be brought in the future. More importantly, he could use this investment in Congjiang City Government to exchange for a large number of policy preferential and convenient conditions. Now his goal has obviously been achieved.

The biggest difference between officials and businessmen is that the former considers issues from the perspective of political interests, while the latter first considers economic interests. When Andheng took the initiative to set the ancient city wall scenic spot, Zuo Yuanchao only thought that this was the result of weighing the pros and cons, but he did not expect that this matter would be grasped by Li Changyu, and he made a big fuss about the issue of the ancient city wall. Now he has attracted enough attention and become alert. Li Changyu did not give up because of the setback of the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area. He proposed to repair the ancient city wall and build the ancient city wall scenic spot. He was simply interested in fighting with the Nanlin Temple Scenic Area. Li Changyu wanted to use this as a breakthrough to regain the say in Jiangcheng's development of the green economy. What annoyed Zuo Yuanchao was that the command of the construction of the Third Ring Road fell into Li Changyu's hands, which was not a good thing for him.

Zuo Yuanchao's mood was extremely complicated at this time, but his facial expression was still unfair. As an official, he had to be happy and angry without showing his expression. The more angry you are, the more proud your opponent will be. Zuo Yuanchao will not give the other party this opportunity. His eyes looked at Li Changyu with a warm and friendly look, just like looking at an old friend who had been with him for many years, and said in a calm tone: "Comrade Changyu, we not only need enthusiasm when doing things, but also consider the actual situation of Jiangcheng's finance!"

Li Changyu smiled and said, "If you want to accelerate development and deepen reform, you must explore ideas. The Nanlin Temple model is very good. Mayor Zuo has set a good example for us, and we must use it to follow up!"
