For Fang Yi, of course Chen Yang is very familiar, not only familiar, but also, because of Fang Qing, the two are even a little related, of course, this is not the most important, the key problem is that when Chen Yang was just a small department-level cadre, Fang Yi happened to be his top boss, and the past when the two worked together in Jiaozhou seven or eight years ago can only be described as unbearable, indeed, if it wasn't for Chen Yang's means to shake out Fang Yi's illegitimate child problem, I'm afraid that now Fang Yi has sat on the throne of deputy secretary or vice governor of Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee.

And now, the outcome of that confrontation between the two is also known today, nearly eight years later.

After Fang Yi was transferred from Jiaozhou under pressure, he first went to a prefecture-level city in the northwest region to serve as a secretary, and then after being depressed for several years, he was able to find a suitable time to transfer back to the ministry and become one of the more than ten vice ministers in the Ministry of Commerce.

And what about Chen Yang? Although after that wrestling, Chen Yang was also at a low point in his life, and was directly dismissed from several positions in the Xinzhuang Development Zone, if he hadn't run the development zone like an iron bucket, I'm afraid his hard work in the previous years would have been in vain. After returning to Beijing, he did not have much good to come, first after a few months of leisure at home, he was able to pass Guò Yuqiang's relationship to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to take up an idle position, but Chen Yang benefited from the foresight when he first entered the officialdom, he chose to keep up with the pace of the Central Committee of the Youth League at the beginning, and was firmly on the right team, although he was also up and down several times in the following years, but in the end he went all the way up, until now he has served as the deputy secretary of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee, acting mayor, and is already the leader of the new generation of senior cadres in the republic. Except for Ye Cheng, who has just become the vice governor of Liaodong Province, I am afraid that no one can match it.

From this point of view, the development of the two over the years has been judged.

It can be said that this watershed began precisely because of the confrontation in Jiaozhou.

In short, the grievances and hatreds between him and Fang Yi are enough to write a novel.

After so many years, Chen Yang didn't know whether the hatred in Fang Yi's heart for himself gradually faded with the passage of time, or because his stumbling in the past few years had become stronger, the only thing Chen Yang could be sure of was that no matter what, at least, Fang Yi was definitely not his friend, and Fang Yi's coming to Huahai to serve was definitely not what he wanted to see, and even, even if the central government finally decided to choose someone recommended by Gao Ming, Chen Yang felt that it was 10,000 times better than Fang Yi coming to Huahai.

Fang Yi's ability was clearer than him, and in the current situation that Hua Hai already had such a tiger as Gao Ming, if Fang Yi, a tiger out of the cage, was added

Chen Yang was no longer willing to continue thinking about it, and the only thing he could do was to smile bitterly.

"Teacher Yu, this matter is a foregone conclusion?"

"Well, the ministry has already talked to Fang Yi."

Yu Qiang's tone was very calm, of course Yu Qiang was clear about some of the connections between Chen Yang and Fang Yi when they were in Jiaozhou, in fact, in his mind, Fang Yi was indeed not the most suitable candidate, but this plan was already a compromise in all aspects and acceptable to all parties.

"Okay, I see, Mr. Yu. （）”

Chen Yang took a deep breath of his cigarette, and gradually calmed down his feelings from the shock when he heard the news at first glance, he knew very well that since Yu Qiang had told himself so bluntly, then I was afraid that no matter how hard he tried to stop this matter, it would be useless.

"In fact, Fang Yi has not gone well over the years, I don't want to say the reason, you should also know that although it is a waste of a few precious years to go to the northwest, but he is still too anxious, for him, returning to the ministry is not a good choice, of course, he may have realized this, so he will be so active in seeking this opportunity, Chen Yang, I also tell you the truth, this time Fang Yi's transfer, the big boss is open, to be honest, he is back to Huahai to work, At most, it is just a flat adjustment or even a half-level demotion, but this time coming to Huahai may be his last chance. Yu Qiang sighed and said lightly. …,

Last chance? For myself, it's not the same.

Chen Yang smiled bitterly in his heart, when he heard Yu Qiang mention the big boss, his eyebrows raised slightly, Fang Yi's father Fang Tonghe is now in the norm, and he is quite influential in the central and western regions, Fang Yi can win this time, I can't help but say, there must be Fang Tonghe's influence behind this. And Fang Yi's redemption in such a roundabout way is undoubtedly an unobtrusive and effective method.

However, he was naturally willing to accept challenges, and after a short period of emotional fluctuations, he was already able to accept this fact, and he was also mentally prepared to welcome Fang Yi to Xizhou to muddy the waters. Although this was the worst situation he could imagine, he would never think too much about it, let alone be afraid of Fang Yi's arrival.

"Well, Teacher Yu, then, when will Comrade Fang Yi come down?"

"By early July at the latest, he should be able to take up his post in Huahai."

Yu Qiang glanced at Chen Yang, and then felt very pleased with Chen Yang's attitude. Indeed, at this point, if Chen Yang is still as calm as before, then he will really be unable to support Adou.

"So fast?" Although Chen Yang was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect Fang Yi to come so quickly, it is said that he is still serving as the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, and the work in hand will be completed within a month, which is really fast enough.

"Hehe, what's wrong?" A smile appeared on Yu Qiang's face, and he looked at Chen Yang meaningfully.

"It's nothing, I welcome Secretary Fang to come as soon as possible, hehe, I don't think it's my turn to have a headache now." Chen Yang also laughed.

That's right, Fang Yi came to Huahai to serve as deputy secretary, although he must join the Standing Committee, but Fang Yi is unlikely to meddle in the affairs of the government in a short period of time, and Fang Yi replaced Zhang Qifa, who was dismissed, not the deputy secretary in charge of the party and the masses, and he can't play much role in personnel issues, with Fang Yi's character, he naturally won't be willing to keep a low profile for so long, so

And if Fang Yi is compared to a tiger out of the cage, then Gao Ming is also the king of tigers, as the saying goes, if two tigers fight, there will be an injury. Hehe, the biggest headache now should probably be Secretary Gao Minggao

Not long after this conversation with Yu Qiang, the post of deputy secretary of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee, which had caused fierce competition among many parties in Huahai officialdom and even in domestic officialdom, was finally settled by an order from the Organization Department of the Central Committee.

In the sound of broken glasses, Fang Yi, the former vice minister of commerce, became the final winner. Of course, in the eyes of many people, Fang Yi went to Huahai to be such a deputy secretary who was only ranked fourth or even fifth in the ranking of the Standing Committee, it is really difficult to say that he is a big winner, at least, he has not even been adjusted in rank, so naturally he is not promoted, and in the eyes of ordinary people who are not familiar with officialdom, he, a dignified senior cadre of the Ministry of Commerce who often appears in the news and newspapers, suddenly came to Huahai to be such a deputy secretary of the municipal party committee who has little influence, which is more like a feeling of being delegated because of work mistakes.

Perhaps, only some old oilmen who have won the essence of officialdom can see the knowledge in it.

That's right, Fang Yi's resignation from his position has indeed made countless people blush, but in a strict sense, in the Ministry of Commerce, all major policies of the Ministry of Commerce are regulated and formulated by the central government, and he is at most a specific official, not a real high-ranking official, it is just that his level is higher and his management is more lenient. And in Huahai, although he temporarily holds the position of deputy secretary, he is only in charge of propaganda and the like, and some personnel issues that do not involve the core, but don't forget that this is only temporary, who can say for sure that he will not have the opportunity to really become the master of Huahai in the future? …,

And Fang Yi obviously values this opportunity, this opportunity that can allow him to re-enter the vision of the central high-level, rather than having empty ambitions, but can only be consumed in ministries and commissions.

Indeed, there is not a real officialdom elite who did not rise to prominence after Tong Guò became a local magistrate on the ruling side.

Don't talk about it, let's talk about Chen Yang, he has been up and down in officialdom for more than ten years, hasn't he also come from the county, to the city, and then to the current municipality directly under the central government, step by step? On Chen Yang's resume, almost all the achievements that can be made are made when he was in charge. And look at what Chen Yang did when he served in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and even the Central Party School?

I'm afraid, even he can't say it himself.

Yes, in Chinese officialdom, only those who have really served as a local official, even if it is just a county magistrate, can be regarded as a real official, and will leave their mark in history.

It is precisely for this reason that not long after Chen Yang first arrived in Huahai, he had a deep sense of historical mission, he regarded Huahai as his own territory, he was responsible for everyone here, and he was responsible for the history of Huahai, and this was also the fundamental reason why he did not hesitate to kick Zhongji away

In July, the sky of Huahai is already blazing with the sun.

However, no matter how hot the sun outside the window is, it will not affect the air-conditioned office in the slightest.

At this moment, in the small conference room on the sixth floor of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee Building, a meeting of new comrades was being held.

This new comrade who came to Huahai to perform his duties was none other than Comrade Fang Yi, former vice minister of commerce.

The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee obviously attached great importance to the incident of the other party's escape, and Comrade Liu Xiangdong, executive deputy minister, personally accompanied Fang Yi to Huahai to perform his duties. I have to say that this specification is high enough for Fang Yi's status as deputy secretary. It can only be compared when Yu Qiang personally sent Chen Yang to China at the end of last year.

After Liu Xiangdong read out the appointment document of the Organization Department in a calm voice, there was a round of warm applause in the conference room.

It's just that if the applause can also be classified, then this burst of applause must contain jealousy, indifference, and even anger, as well as grievance and unwillingness, as for the real heartfelt welcome, it is estimated that there is no one.

Chen Yang also applauded gently, but which category did he belong to? No one knew, but at the very least, from his clear and calm gaze, it was not difficult to see that he should not belong to any of the types listed above. Of course, he can't talk about a warm welcome.

In this gaze cast at him, as well as the warm welcome applause, Fang Yi did not have a trace of the comfort of a newcomer, he was also a person who had been in the sea for a long time, the city government had already cultivated to a very high level, he had a calm smile on his face, and his kind eyes swept over everyone one by one, giving people a good feeling of being polite and not humble or arrogant, and only when his gaze fell on Chen Yang's face, there was such a small fluctuation, of course, such a little change, was quickly covered up by his lightness, and he even smiled at Chen Yang, of course, Chen Yang also smiled kindly, and he felt like he was smiling and hating each other. I believe that except for him and Chen Yang, others can't notice anything unusual at all.

Next, Gao Ming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, on behalf of the Standing Committee of the Huahai Municipal Party Committee, expressed a warm welcome to Comrade Fang Yi, and also delivered a speech that was both warm welcome and encouraging from time to time.

Subsequently, Fang Yi also made a simple speech with Gao Ming's encouragement.

"Hello everyone, I am very happy and honored to work in Huahai, first of all, thank you for welcoming me. Secondly, for the organization to arrange me to work in Huahai this time, I thank the organization for its trust in me at the same time, but also feel the heavy pressure and responsibility on my shoulders, I have long known that Huahai's team is a very combative, very united and upward team, I will fight to integrate into this team, of course, I also sincerely hope that the old comrades of Huahai can help me more in the future work, so that I can contribute to the construction of Huahai. ”

Fang Yi's speech was very old-fashioned and official, with nothing new, and Chen Yang sounded similar to the cliché he said when he took office.

Fortunately, this meeting did not last long, and after the meeting, it was an indispensable dinner, firstly, the Huahai Municipal Party Committee invited the leaders of the Organization Department to dinner, and secondly, it could be regarded as a reception for Fang Yi, which was also a customary procedure.

After Chen Yang left the office, he went down to the municipal party committee building, and he planned to take advantage of the remaining hours to go back to his office to handle some official business. He wasn't interested in greeting Fang Yi for anything.

However, after going downstairs, he seemed to feel that someone was watching him behind him along the way, and at first he didn't care, but when he returned to the office and quietly opened the curtains, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure downstairs. After seeing Chen Yang's upstairs curtain open, this figure immediately hid in the flow of people.

"Why is she here too?"

Although it was only a glimpse, Chen Yang was convinced that he should not be wrong.
