Chapter 144: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
On the third day after the engagement was completed, Zhou Fan left the capital and returned to Northeast Province, when leaving the capital, Zhou Ziming secretly gave Zhou Fan a phone number, saying that it was the phone number of Chen Fangchao, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Northeast Province.
It seems that after this engagement, because of the relationship between the Xu family, Zhou Fan's identity has also risen, and Zhou Ziming actually arranged a relationship for Zhou Fan in person, and he was a provincial and ministerial-level boss.
If this is an ordinary cadre, he can get the contact information of the provincial party committee boss, and he is still dissatisfied and excitedly thinking about enlivening this relationship, but born in a family like the Zhou family, Zhou Fan is usually used to seeing provincial and ministerial-level cadres, and he has no special feelings for Chen Fangchao, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
However, before leaving, Zhou Ziming still inevitably told Zhou Fan a few words, naturally warning Zhou Fan to pay more attention in the process of contact with Chen Fangchao, don't trust people too easily, naturally afraid that Zhou Fan is too young, and he won't know if he will be sold when the time comes.
Zhou Fan naturally agreed with a smile, this is not just to the Northeast, Zhou Fan called Chen Fangchao, I heard that Zhou Fan was visiting, but Chen Fangchao smiled and asked Zhou Fan to come to his house to sit, for Chen Fangchao's invitation, Zhou Fan naturally did not refuse.
The courtyard of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Northeast Province is located near Yingtian Street in Liuzhuang City, which is a newly built villa area the year before last.
Although Zhou Fan is the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, but now Zhou Fan has just entered the official career, and his identity is only a department-level cadre, no matter how much Chen Fangchao attaches importance to Zhou Fan, this posture is inevitably put on a show, and he can pick up Zhou Fan according to the nanny, this treatment is actually very good, if ordinary people come to Chen Fangchao, it is a question whether they can enter this door.
Just now Zhou Fan was outside the villa area, and he saw many people being stopped by the sentinels outside, and when he saw Zhou Fan entering the Standing Committee, the trace of envy in the eyes of these people could not be concealed.
Chen Fangchao's figure is quite burly, with a hooked nose on the Chinese face, and he looks like a tough man, compared to Chen Fangchao's actual age, Zhou Fan saw Chen Fangchao is obviously much younger, and he can't tell that Chen Fangchao is already an old man of nearly sixty years old.
Seeing Zhou Fan come in, Chen Fangchao looked at Zhou Fan with a smile and said, "Is Old Zhou's body okay?" ”
Zhou Fan nodded politely and said, "Grandpa's body is very good, and I talked about Uncle Chen a few days ago." ”
What kind of person is Chen Fangchao, he naturally understands what Zhou Fan means perfunctory, not to mention that Chen Fangchao is not ranked in the eyes of that old man, and when the old man is in the political arena, Chen Fangchao still knows that he is staying in that corner, how can the old man Zhou talk about Chen Fangchao.
But there are times when officialdom knows that it is a fictitious thing, but it is inevitably quite proud to be able to hear it in the ears, not to mention that it comes out of the mouth of Zhou Fan, the descendant of the Zhou family.
"You kid, you can't lie, you want to say that Ziming is talking to me, I still believe it, the young man who went to the countryside to cut the queue together at the beginning, I haven't seen him for so many years, and he has become the main leader of the ministry and commission." Chen Fangchao reprimanded with a smile, although he said so, Chen Fangchao's mood was obviously really good.
"Uncle Chen, don't say that, aren't you also an important leader of a province now, my dad often mentions your going to the countryside, those days were not easy to survive, if Uncle Chen hadn't been taking care of my dad, my dad might not have survived." Zhou Fan smiled and flattered, although Zhou Ziming occasionally mentioned some things back then, but some things were impossible to say to Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan was just talking nonsense with a tiger skin.
"Don't say it, when Chu Ziming just went to the countryside, he was really young and vigorous...... Chen Fangchao smiled and said some interesting things back then, which Zhou Fan had never heard of, but he didn't expect Zhou Ziming to have these past events, it seems that he can talk to Tang Aiju when he goes back, Zhou Fan thought of this, but the corners of his mouth showed a trace of evil smile, if Tang Aiju heard Zhou Ziming's affair back then, I don't know how to deal with Zhou Ziming.
However, Zhou Fan was just thinking about it in his heart, if he really wanted to be in front of Tang Aiju, Zhou Fan would not dare to really provoke a war between their husband and wife, if Zhou Ziming knew that it was Zhou Fan who provoked the incident, then Zhou Fan's words would not be easy.
Between the two talking and laughing, the relationship has become a lot closer, and the people in this system, in the case of deliberately trying to get closer to each other, naturally know how the two sides should get along, although Zhou Fan has not been in the system for a long time, but he still understands some of these doors.
"I heard that you were suspended to the Northeast Province, and I didn't know to say hello to me in advance, and if I knew that the province would have intercepted you, I would have avoided being punished at the grassroots level." Chen Fangchao said.
"Uncle Chen, you can't say that, your idea as the secretary of the provincial party committee represents the idea of a provincial cadre, if you feel that the grassroots are hard, there are still cadres there who are willing to go to the grassroots level, in fact, this time to go to Qiushui Town is also my own request, the main thing is to familiarize yourself with the work of the grassroots level, after all, the grassroots is the most tempering place." Zhou Fan said with a smile.
"It's good that you can think like this, but my idea is a little extreme, but the work at the grassroots level is more difficult to carry out, if you encounter any problems, just give me a call, within my ability, I can still help you come up with ideas." Chen Fangchao nodded and said, in front of Zhou Fan, there is obviously no need to put on the posture of the secretary of the provincial party committee and say something that is ambiguous, after all, Zhou Fan can ask Chen Fangchao for help, which is obviously also a means to bring the relationship between the two sides closer, after all, Zhou Fan's identity is here, even if Chen Fangchao does not help, the Zhou family also has a way to help.
Zhou Fan smiled and nodded, he had long expected Chen Fangchao's attitude, after all, as long as Chen Fangchao was not stupid, this favor would be done, not to mention whether Zhou Fan really had something to ask Chen Fangchao for his head, even if he really ran into trouble, it was just a matter of one sentence for Chen Fangchao, the provincial party committee boss.
