Chapter 231 [Top Stick of Incense]

Everyone present was amused by Zhang Defang's words.

Zhang Yang said: "Director Zhang, you have a good career. If you say there is no chance, we grassroots cadres will not cry to death!"

Zhang Defang smiled and said, "You are the youngest deputy department-level cadre in Pinghai. When you reach my age, you will definitely become a department-level cadre. When you reach the age of Director Tian, ​​it is not a dream to enter the central government."

Tian Qinglong tasted the wine and said, "Why do I listen to you seem to be ridiculing me?"

"How dare I? You are my immediate boss. I ridiculed you, aren't you waiting for you to put on my shoes?" Zhang Defang was very good at doing things.

Zhang Yang has known him for a long time. Although Zhang Defang has expressed his intention to take the initiative to get along many times, Zhang Yang is always unwilling to get too close to him. Zhang Defang is too slippery and has a good attitude to protect himself. Such a person will not have real friends.

When the two went to the bathroom, Zhang Defang whispered: "Brother, I heard that Fang Haitao's death is also one of the important suspects."

Zhang Yang smiled indifferently: "I am an enterprise reform office and an enterprise reform. The matters mentioned by the public security officer have nothing to do with me!"

Zhang Defang smiled and said, "Director Tian is very worried. In fact, it is best to be more open-minded when people are old. Some things should be put away as soon as they should!"

Zhang Yang was washing his hands while looking at Zhang Defang in the mirror: "Brother Zhang, how are you doing in Guangsheng recently?"

Zhang Defang sighed and said, "I'm not going to be the same here. I guess I'll get a branch director in this life!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "So pessimistic? Secretary Gu is in power. If you should use some of the relationships, you should use them."

Zhang Defang shook his head and said, "My uncle is famously selfless. If he wanted to help me, I wouldn't be a deputy. Forget it, I won't be talking about it anymore. I'll be filled with sadness and tears when I mention this matter!"

Zhang De put his hands in front of the dryer and dryed his hands suddenly, "Rong Pengfei is very good at it. He is famous for his smiling tiger. You must be careful!"

"I'm not familiar with him, so I don't have much interaction!" Zhang Yang's words were hypocritical.

Zhang Defang smiled, and the two walked out side by side. They met a bald man who looked a little panicked when he saw Zhang Yang, but he was a gangster who had been taught by Zhang Yang.

The big Ben greeted Zhang Defang: "Director Zhang is here to have dinner too!"

Zhang Defang glanced at him coldly, and he looked down on such a gangster.

"Where is Director Zhang sitting? I will toast you in the future!"

Zhang Defang said indifferently about the room he was in.

The two of them walked a few steps and Zhang Yang whispered: "What is this guy's identity? Is it worthy of coming to toast?"

Zhang Defang laughed: "Brother, he doesn't dare to toast if he has any courage. He wants to ask the room number to help us settle the bill!"

As expected, when they left, Da Ben had already settled their account, which made Tian Qinglong very puzzled. Zhang Defang only said that he had paid for it himself. Zhang Yang looked at Zhang Defang's hypocritical performance with a smile, and secretly admired him. Everyone has his own way of dealing with others. Zhang Defang obviously has his own set. He doesn't have to spend money and lose favors, which is really a killing of two birds with one stone. However, this guy's approach is not generous enough.

Many things are not as good as changes. Zhang Yang wanted to leave Dongjiang early the next morning to return to Jiangcheng, but a call from Deputy Mayor Yan Xinjian forced him to stay temporarily. The workers at Jiangcheng Textile Factory were causing trouble. Several workers' representatives ran to the provincial party committee and government to petition. Several persons in charge of the petition office had already taken them back, but these workers were difficult to deal with. Liang Mei, director of the petition office in Jiangcheng's provincial capital, had no choice but to ask the city for help. After several leaders discussed, Yan Xinjian remembered that Zhang Yang was still in Dongjiang, so he proposed to let Zhang Yang deal with this matter, which was unanimously supported by several leaders.

Since Yan Xinjian opened his mouth, Zhang Yang was embarrassed to refuse, so he went to the petition office. There were five permanent staff members here, including Liang Mei, director of the petition office, who were talking to the workers' representatives of Jiangcheng Textile Factory. Zhang Yang saw a familiar face from several worker representatives, the old worker Xu Daguang. When Jiangcheng Textile Factory was in trouble because of the Nanlin Temple project, he was the representative. Unexpectedly, he was one of the representatives when he came to the province to petition this time.

Liang Mei was personally responsible for Xu Daguang's work. Xu Daguang's attitude was very arrogant. He ignored her by Liang Mei's persuasion. Liang Mei finally couldn't help but slapped the table and said loudly: "You can figure it out. It will not benefit you from this mess. It has interfered with the normal work of state organs. Is this a crime?"

Xu Daguang was not scared by her and asked back, "You want to put a hat on me. Is the government not the people's government? The organs are not state organs? These leading cadres are not public servants of the people? Don't you represent the interests of the general public? I report the situation. This is called a crime. What crime did I commit?" People like Xu Daguang came to petition with a willingness to go out. The few who came to Dongjiang were all difficult characters in textile factories.

Liang Mei was so angry that she trembled all over. The petition office treated such things simply to persuade and educate and send them home. There is one thing Xu Daguang said that was not wrong. They did not commit a crime. At worst, they could send them back to Jiangcheng. But the problem was not solved and they would continue to sue. If you don’t let them sue in Jiangcheng, they would come to the provincial capital. If you don’t let them be in the provincial capital, they would go to Beijing.

Zhang Yang was not surprised to see Xu Daguang, because this master was difficult to deal with.

Xu Daguang also recognized Zhang Yang when he saw him. After all, when Xu Daguang was negotiating with the Hong Kong side on behalf of the workers, Zhang Yang once spoke to them, which left a good impression on Xu Daguang.

Zhang Yang smiled at Liang Mei and said, "Director Liang, can I talk to Master Xu alone?"

Liang Meiba was forced to take over, so he nodded, got up and left the office.

Zhang Yang took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from his handbag and took it apart for Xu Daguang. Xu Daguang did not refuse. Chairman Mao taught me that when faced with the sugar-coated shells, I took off the sugar-coated shells and shot them back. I still have this vigilance.

Xu Daguang took out the fire point himself, sucked a cloud of smoke, and said, "We didn't break the law!"

Zhang Yang laughed: "Master Xu, did I say you broke the law?"

Xu Daguang said: "Director Zhang, I know you came here to persuade us to go back. I can tell you clearly that if there is no reasonable explanation in the province this time, we will continue to sue the central government!"

Zhang Yang whispered: "Master Xu, the problem of Jiangcheng Textile Factory, Wenyuan District and the city attach great importance to it, and always take it to heart. The problem must be solved step by step. Your radical approach will not only be of no benefit to the solution of the matter, but will be counterproductive."

Xu Daguang sneered: "Director Zhang, you don't have to lie to me. The district is indifferent to the affairs of our textile factory, and the city doesn't care about the lives and deaths of our workers. They just think about reform and opening up, just development and construction. The workers in our textile factory are just your victims!"

Zhang Yang said angrily: "Master Xu, what are you talking about? Putting aside the city, Wenyuan District alone held many meetings on your textile factory matters? You also attended several symposiums. We seemed to meet each other there. How could you ignore the efforts you put in?"

Xu Daguang said: "No matter whether you work hard or not, in short, we workers have not received any benefits. We have received some compensation. But after the new textile factory is built, should we be laid off or laid off, and should we be unemployed or unemployed. What should we do in our future life?"

"I am now the director of the Jiangcheng Enterprise Reform Office. I can tell you clearly that the next step of reform in the city is textile factories. In the near future, the problems of your textile factories will be fundamentally solved."

"How to solve it? I've seen through you, you're just talking nonsense. The purpose is to coax us away from the factory site in the past and sell it to Hong Kong people to develop it, and get benefits from it. That's our land, why do you make the decision?"

Zhang Yang was really angry. Xu Daguang and other old workers were indeed a little unreasonable. Zhang Yang shouted: "I must declare a few things to you. First, the textile factory belongs to the country, the land belongs to the country, you are working for the country, and the textile factory is not your private property."

"The country belongs to the people, and the textile factory belongs to us!" Xu Daguang's attitude was surprisingly tough.

Zhang Yang said coldly: "Master Xu, the times are constantly developing. With the development of Jiangcheng, textile factories have seriously affected the urban appearance planning of Jiangcheng in the city center. Moving to the development zone is an inevitable result. Equipment is being updated. Today's textile factories do not need so many workers at all!"

"So you want to kick us workers out, what's the difference between this and the old social capitalists?"

"If you want to kick you out, there is no need to be so troublesome! Master Xu, think about it yourself. Since the relocation, has the city tried its best to protect the interests of your workers? In other words, even if there is no relocation, how is the efficiency of your textile factory? Have you suffered losses in recent years? How is the efficiency of your factory? You don't know yet? The city proposed reforms not to push you into a dead end, but to increase the efficiency of the company, rejuvenate the company and turn losses into profits. Only in this way can you have food to eat!"

Xu Daguang was mentioned by Zhang Yang to the point of being a key point. In fact, the production and operation conditions of the textile factory are indeed very poor. If it continues, it will eventually lead to the insolvency of debt and shut down. But Xu Daguang is still stubborn: "The land in the textile factory has sold so much money in the market, why can't we get the money?"

This is a bit unreasonable. Zhang Yang said loudly: "I'll tell you again, the land belongs to the country, and that place is not sold, but a joint development under certain conditions. This is the unified planning of the city, and it's not your turn to take care of it! After the Nanlin Temple Commercial Plaza is completed in the future, you will give priority to the employees of your textile factory. This is something that the city leaders have already decided. You are the masters of the country, and it is also a reality when you encounter difficulties. But you blindly extend your hands to the country. This is to make a living, and this is to be aggressive."

Xu Daguang said loudly: "You are not forced!"

Zhang Yang said: "Master Xu, you are an old worker in a textile factory and an old party member. The reason why the textile factory has reached this situation today is to ask you, is it because of the country that harms you? Or is it the problem of your textile factory's own management?"

Xu Daguang didn't say anything and smoked silently.

Zhang Yang said: "What is the purpose of reform? It is to revitalize the economy and what is the purpose of revitalizing the economy? It is to let the people live a better life. The country bears huge risks in reform and opening up. As the master of the country and as a member of the country, do we have the responsibility to share part of the risks and part of the responsibility for the country? You are an old party member, and your party membership is probably older than mine. I don't need to remind you of your party spirit. When you encounter difficulties, the party members will take the lead. This is the responsibility of the party members. This is the leading role of the party members, rather than taking the lead in causing trouble, taking the lead in reaching out to the country, and taking the lead in putting pressure on the party and the government. Master Xu, we often compare the country to mothers and the party to mothers. As children, when mothers encounter difficulties, are we thinking in our hearts whether to help their mothers? Or are we thinking about extending our hands to our mothers?"

Zhang Yang's words hit Xu Daguang's heart hard. He stared at the table blankly. There was no movement for a long time. The ashes remained for a long time and slowly fell on the table.

Zhang Yang said: "Believe me, I guarantee that the Jiangcheng Textile Factory's problem will be solved recently. If you pay attention to the movements around you, you will find that the changes in Jiangcheng Winery and Jiangcheng Pharmaceutical Factory are not less difficult than your textile factory, but they did not complain about the world, but actively changed through various methods. The city also gave full support to their reforms. The reform of Jiangcheng Textile Factory is already in the plan. Master Xu, it won't take too long to see the changes in Jiangcheng Textile Factory!"

Xu Daguang raised his head: "Reform will cause sacrifices, but we workers cannot bear this price!"

"Don't worry, the city will consider that we are a socialist country and we will try our best to minimize the risks!"

Zhang Yang finally persuaded the petitioners to go back. Liang Mei from the petition office thanked him very much. If Zhang Yang had not done anything, the old workers would not know how to deal with it. Just after leaving the petition office, the provincial party school called Zhang Yang and informed Zhang Yang to pay the tuition for the second half of the semester and to get the study materials. Zhang Yang then remembered that although he was in the provincial party school, he had never been to his usual courses. After spending a long time in the system, he knew the importance of a diploma. This bachelor's degree said that he had to get everything. Zhang Yang drove to the Finance Department of the Provincial Party School to pay the fees, and these tuitions can be reimbursed.

When I was issuing the ticket, I heard a familiar voice calling his name. Zhang Yang turned around, but saw Chang Haixin wearing a white wool sweater, light blue jeans and a ponytail standing not far away, smiling at him.

Zhang Yang laughed, and unexpectedly he could meet an acquaintance at the Party School. He walked over happily: "What a coincidence? Come with Mayor Qin?" He looked around and did not find Qin Qing.

Chang Haixin smiled and said, "I came to Dongjiang to attend a short-term training class. Why? Are you also attending classes at the Party School?"

Zhang Yang patted the stack of books in his hand and said, "Continuing education, correspondence undergraduate degree! We have to ask for progress, right?"

Chang Haixin knew that Zhang Yang graduated from a medical school. It seems that he also knew how to work with Shi Jujin and work hard in the system. It would be impossible to have a good diploma. She pointed to the dormitory building in front: "My dormitory is right in front! Go and sit!"

Zhang Yang nodded happily, after getting the invoice, he followed Chang Haixin to the dormitory building.

It was almost late autumn, and the path leading to the dormitory building was covered with golden fallen leaves. It was soft and comfortable to walk on it. Every step made a rustling sound. Chang Haixin whispered: "Come to Dongjiang to do business?"

Zhang Yang nodded: "Attend the Golden Autumn Economic and Trade Negotiation Conference!"

Chang Haixin smiled and said, "I heard that the Jiangcheng Commercial Group and the South Korean side fought hard. I wonder if you are there?" There are cadres from various cities and districts in the Party School, and the news is extremely well-informed. The Jiangcheng winery's rights protection has caused a lot of controversy, and it is normal to spread it here.

Zhang Yang did not deny it: "It's a long story. If those Goryeo sticks weren't bullying people too much, I wouldn't have taken action!" He told Chang Haixin the whole story.

The two of them came to the dormitory. In addition to Chang Haixin, there were three young female cadres from other cities. When they saw Chang Haixin bringing a handsome young man in, they all felt energetic and surrounded Zhang Yang. One of them smiled and said, "Haixin, is this your boyfriend? It's very handsome!"

Chang Haixin explained with a pretty face red: "My friend! Don't get me wrong!"

Those roommates were not willing to believe it. They surrounded Zhang Yang and asked questions. Zhang Yang was a little unbearable. Chang Haixin didn't expect that everyone was there, so she made up an excuse and fled the dormitory with Zhang Yang.

After leaving the dormitory gate, Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing.

Chang Haixin blushed and said, "I'm sorry, they are used to making trouble. Don't get me wrong if you said this just now!"

Zhang Yang said, "What are you wrong? We are friends!" He looked at the time. It was already lunch time and asked Chang Haixin to have dinner outside the school.

Chang Hai thought to himself: "Go to the water house. My second brother is here. I called me in the morning and asked me to come over. I don't want to go. If you are here, let's just go and have a free meal together."

Zhang Yang deeply agreed with the proposal of free meals. He drove Chang Haixin to the Shui Renjia. Peng Junxiang held a banquet for Chang Hailong to have a meal with him. Today, the main purpose was to discuss with Chang Hailong about the decoration of Jiangcheng Shui Renjia. Peng Junxiang was in the attitude of giving gifts to this decoration contract. He was because Chang Hailong was the second son of Chang Song, the mayor of Lanshan City, and the business of the Shui Renjia Lanshan store had to be taken care of by the Chang family.

Peng Junxiang didn't know that Zhang Yang came to Dongjiang. Chang Hailong thought his sister would not come, but seeing them coming together was a great surprise. Chang Hailong met with Zhang Yang's Mercedes-Benz and touched the car sign and said, "I said to Director Zhang, you are so arrogant. A state cadre actually drives such a luxurious car. Be careful that the Commission for Discipline Inspection is eyeing you!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I borrowed this car from my friend. I have to return it to others if I leave Dongjiang!"

Peng Junxiang smiled and said, "Director Zhang, you won't inform me if you come to Dongjiang!"

Zhang Yang patted his shoulder: "I thought you were in Jiangcheng? Who knew you were running back?"

Peng Junxiang invited them to the private room. Chang Hailong expressed some curiosity to his sister and Zhang Yang, and Chang Haixin explained to him in a low voice.

Everyone present was his own people, and Peng Junxiang had no need to hide it. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he whispered: "I invited Mr. Chang to come here this time because I wanted him to see the situation of the people on the Dongjiang River, and then go to the fish and rice town of Jiangcheng to take a look, come up with a specific decoration plan, and strive to start the decoration as soon as possible and ensure the opening of the business before the end of the year."

Zhang Yang turned to Chang Hailong and said, "Hailong, are you going to Jiangcheng?"

Chang Hailong nodded and said, "The contract has been signed, I have to go and have a look, conduct a field investigation, and get the renderings and decoration budget!"

Zhang Yang said: "The basic conditions in the Land of Fish and Rice are good, and I don't think the movement needs to be too big!"

Peng Junxiang said, "Ms. Gu and I discussed it and took down the lakeside wooden houses around the Yumi Township. Since I have made it, I will be the largest and highest-end catering place in Jiangcheng." He sighed and said, "Director Zhang, I am under a lot of pressure this time!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Why? I have helped you get such a good opportunity, but I feel pressured? If you feel the pressure is too great, then give it to others!"
To be continued...
