Chapter 238: Sufficient Political Achievements
"Uncle Fang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Zhang Chen answered the phone.
"Still in Shangri-La?" Fang Yiheng's voice was low, and it seemed that his mood was not too good.
"No, I just came out, what's wrong?"
"You come to the Xin Ming Tea House, it is the one next to my house, and I am waiting for you in the Qingxiang Pavilion on the second floor."
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Zhang Chen hung up the phone and called Bai Sihan directly, telling her that he might not be able to go home a little later, Bai Sihan did not show any dissatisfaction, but just told Zhang Chen to drive slowly and not drink.
Zhang Chen agreed, then turned the head of the car and drove towards the teahouse mentioned by Fang Yiheng.
It was exactly eleven o'clock when the car drove to the Xin Ming Tea House, and I came to drink tea at this time, and it seems that I don't want to sleep well this night.
Zhang Chen went upstairs to find the house sign of Qingxiang Pavilion, knocked the door three times at the door, and heard a "come in" from inside, so he pushed the door and walked in.
This tea room is antique, the mahogany furniture looks very classy, the incense burner on the wooden shelf is emitting a faint green smoke, and the smell of incense fills the air, making people feel calm.
"Come, Xiao Zhang, come and sit." Fang Yiheng, who was sitting on the mahogany sofa, was fiddling with the tea set, and when he saw Zhang Chen coming in, he pointed to the single chair next to him and motioned for Zhang Chen to sit there.
Zhang Chen nodded, sat on the single chair next to him, and watched Fang Yiheng pour a pot of boiling water on the teapot, as if he was carrying out a certain step in the tea ceremony, but Zhang Chen didn't know anything about the tea ceremony, so he didn't bother, just watched quietly.
After Fang Yiheng completed a series of procedures, he finally handed a seven-point full teacup to Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen quickly got up and took the teacup with both hands.
Fang Yiheng himself picked up a cup of tea, smelled it, and then said to Zhang Chen: "How about you taste it?" ā
Zhang Chen learned Fang Yiheng's appearance and sniffed it first, and then took a small sip, although the mouth was bitter, but there was a fragrance, and the fatigue and tiredness of his body also dissipated a lot with this fragrance, he smacked his tongue and said: "I don't know much about tea, but this tea feels like it's not the same as usual." ā
Fang Yiheng laughed: "Yes, the tea ceremony is really interesting, I used to like to drink tea, but since I recently came into contact with the tea ceremony, I feel that the tea I have drunk for nothing in this half of my life." ā
Zhang Chen laughed with him, but muttered in his heart: I came to drink tea in the middle of the night, wouldn't I just want to discuss the tea ceremony with me?
Fang Yiheng took three sips before finishing the tea in the teacup, he picked up the teapot and refilled a cup for himself, and poured it into the teacup that Zhang Chen had already drunk, and then said unhurriedly: "What do you think of the Zhongjie Real Estate that suddenly appeared today?" ā
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, the span of Fang Yiheng's topic was really a bit large, he was still talking about the tea ceremony just now, and now he directly mentioned Zhongjie Real Estate, and there was no buffer in the middle.
However, Zhang Chen's reaction was quite fast, he just thought about it for a while, and said: "This Zhongjie Real Estate has offended everyone present today, and as soon as the news comes out tomorrow, it is estimated that the limelight will definitely overshadow the organizer of our journey real estate event." ā
"yes, their behavior did go a little too far!" Fang Yiheng nodded, "I paid attention to the people of Zhongjie Real Estate today, and the one who leads will set his eyes on you intentionally or unintentionally, do you know each other?" ā
"His name is Zhu Yijie, he was from the same school as me in high school, and he was the one who had a conflict with me in his junior year of high school." Zhang Chen didn't have anything to hide.
"Oh, it's him, no wonder I think the way he looks at you is full of resentment."
"Yes, it's him, I didn't think about it for so many years, he still holds a grudge against what happened when he was a student, and it is estimated that his behavior today is to take revenge on me."
Fang Yiheng took a sip of tea, and then sighed: "No, he didn't target you alone today. ā
"Not just against me? That ......"
Fang Yiheng put down the teacup, and then said slowly: "What is he targeting...... And me! ā
"Against you?" Zhang Chen leaked a puzzled expression, "No, does he know that you helped me in that matter?" ā
Fang Yiheng shook his head: "If it was just that incident, I wouldn't have asked you to come here so late, a small real estate company, I really don't care about it, but Zhongjie Real Estate is not Zhu Yijie alone, there is a huge force behind him." ā
"A huge force? Is it the Zhu family? ā
Fang Yiheng shook his head again, and said in a tone that seemed to be an elder teaching a junior: "Xiao Zhang, you remember, in Huaxia, businessmen will never be able to fight officials. ā
"Could it be ......" Fang Yiheng said this, and Zhang Chen immediately understood something.
Fang Yiheng said while pouring tea: "Yes, it is the officials who want to deal with me, Zhongjie Real Estate is just a weapon in their hands, and there is no need to involve you in this matter, but I think that Zhu Yijie seems to be planning to bring you in, so I called you over today." ā
"Then do you know who the person behind Zhu Yijie is?"
Fang Yiheng put down the teapot and said, "The leadership team in the city is going to change recently, have you heard?" ā
"Well, there seems to be such a rumor."
"It's not a rumor, it's true, the executive vice mayor of the city will be transferred to another place to be the mayor next year, and when he leaves, who will do this position is very critical."
"Does Uncle Fang have a chance to rise to this position?"
"Originally, there was no hope, it was normally impossible to be promoted directly from the secretary of the district party committee to the city as the executive deputy mayor, but the situation in Changqiu City is a bit special, do you know that the officialdom of Changqiu City is mainly divided into three factions."
Speaking of this, Fang Yiheng paused, and began to observe Zhang Chen carefully, seeing that Zhang Chen's expression had not changed, he continued: "These three factions are the foreign faction, the local faction and the emerging faction, the foreign faction is directly appointed from above, and the power is the strongest, and the emerging faction is the weakest, and I belong to the emerging faction camp. ā
Zhang Chen picked up the teacup and drank it all, and then asked casually: "Then what does this have to do with the position of the executive deputy mayor?" ā
Looking at Zhang Chen's way of drinking tea, Fang Yiheng shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Because the current executive vice mayor is the leader of our emerging faction, he is leaving, if the local faction is allowed to sit in this position, then the balance of the three-legged position in Changqiu City will be destroyed. ā
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
Fang Yiheng smiled: "Although I am inclined to us in my heart, but the previous style of doing things from outsiders, they will never obviously favor any party, so if you want them to stand up and support us, you must hand over a satisfactory answer, that is, you must have enough political achievements."
