Chapter 172 [Face Slap]

The preparations for Chunyang have also reached Jiangcheng. When Hong Weiji presided over the organizing committee, Wang Changjun, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, said: "I wonder if all the leaders have heard of Chunyang's opening ceremony. I have received reliable news. They invited a lot of famous actors to the opening ceremony party!"

Hong Weiji smiled and said, "It seems that several leaders in Chunyang County still attach great importance to the work of the Fuyang Festival branch venue."

Zuo Ai Korea didn't think so. He whispered: "Our Fuyang Food Culture Festival is based on culture and economic leadership. Our purpose is to attract investment. What are you doing with so much superficial kung fu? Formalism!"

Li Changyu usually doesn't like to speak at the organizing committee meeting. The words of Zuo Ai Korea are a little in his ears. He slowly said: "We can't see this. Our original intention is to make the more lively the better and the greater the influence, the better. There is nothing wrong with Chunyang inviting a few actors to perform. People can invite them, and we Jiangcheng can also invite them. It's all for a common purpose. Chunyang is also an integral part of Jiangcheng!" He was sarcasticating Zuo Ai Korea that he had no overall view.

Zuo Yuanchao could certainly hear it. He smiled and said, "I think it is the original copy to make a fuss about folk culture. By the way, the guests we invited this time have been confirmed. I hope to invite Secretary Gu of the Provincial Party Committee to come to Jiangcheng to cut the ribbon for the opening of our Fuyang Food Culture Festival!" Only by inviting Gu Yunzhi can this incident attract widespread attention in Pinghai Province. In addition to Gu Yunzhi, they also invited many members of the province. Xu Changde is also among the invitation because he is an old leader of Jiangcheng.

Hong Weiji expressed his approval of this, and nodded and said, "The guests attending should be implemented as soon as possible!"

Gu Yunzhi sat in the study, looking at an invitation from Jiangcheng, with a faint smile on his lips. Gu Jiatong put the tea he had just brewed in front of him, curiously picked up the invitation, looked at the contents inside and put it down again, and smiled and said, "Dad, are you going to participate in the Fuyang Festival too?"

Gu Yunzhi shook his head and said, "There is no time, I'll let Zhao Jiting go on behalf of me!"

Gu Jiatong nodded and said, "I heard that Jiangcheng Fuyang Festival has been very big this time!"

Gu Yunzhi glanced at his daughter and said, "You are going?"

Gu Jiatong said: "I organized a delegation of Japanese businessmen and will go to Chunyang with them at that time!"

"Chunyang?" What did Gu Yunzhi keenly grasp?

Gu Jiatong immediately explained: "Chunyang is one of the branch venues of Fuyang Festival. Now an economic development zone is set up. Zhang Yang asked me to help promote investment promotion work, so I used the connections at hand to help him with a small favor."

Gu Yunzhi said with interest: "The Fuyang Food Culture Festival in Jiangcheng has set up several stages and sang several plays at the same time? What are these guys doing?"

Gu Jiatong seemed to have something to say, and after a while, she said: "Dad, Chunyang County wants to invite you to Chunyang to attend the opening ceremony!"

Gu Yunzhi's two thick eyebrows frowned. He had already seen from his daughter's expression that there must be a lot of articles in this matter. In his heart, Gu Yunzhi hated the situation of internal fighting among the cadre team the most, and the incident of the Fuyang Festival in Jiangcheng seemed to be in this regard.

Gu Jiatong whispered: "Zhang Yang's godmother, Vice Premier Wen's wife will go to attend the opening ceremony!"

Gu Yunzhi's eyes were obviously frozen for a moment, and then he picked up the teacup and drank water slowly. Gu Jiatong quietly retreated. Gu Yunzhi turned out the window and looked at the motionless branches outside the window. A secret smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The opening ceremony of the Jiangcheng Fuyang Festival finally arrived with the beginning of the first day of the vacancies. Pinghai Executive Vice Governor Zhao Jiting visited Jiangcheng in person. Many members of the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee gathered together, all gathered in the development zone square to participate in the first Fuyang Food Culture Festival in Jiangcheng.

Gu Yunzhi's absence disappointed Zuo Ai Korea, but the arrival of the Executive Vice Governor also made up for some regrets, and the province still attaches great importance to this matter.

Municipal Party Secretary Hong Weiji delivered a warm speech on behalf of Jiang City Committee. The temperature was very high that day. Hong Weiji dressed meticulously. His sweat had soaked his shirt tightly and pressed against his spine, making it very sticky and uncomfortable.

Acting Mayor Zuo Ai Korea was the host of the opening ceremony. After Hong Weiji finished speaking, he invited Vice Governor Zhao Jiting to speak.

Zhao Jiting's appearance won a lot of applause. In the hot sun, Zhao Jiting delivered a speech to seize the opportunity to deepen reform. His speech was always empty and made the people below drowsy.

Executive Vice Mayor Li Changyu suddenly came to Hong Weiji's side, attached himself to his ear and whispered something. Hong Weiji's face changed immediately. He looked around, and then came to a place where the sun could not shine on the side, lowered his voice: "Are you saying true?"

Li Changyu nodded and said, "I just received the news that Secretary Gu's special car has arrived in Chunyang. He is going to preside over the opening ribbon cutting ceremony of the Fuyang Food Culture Festival in Chunyang!"

Hong Weiji suddenly hit the head with a heavy hammer, and he was so dizzy that he didn't know what to say. After a while, he realized: "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Li Changyu also received the news just now, and it was Zhang Yang who called him. Li Changyu's first reaction was also very angry. This bastard regarded this matter as a joke. But then he thought, since he had the ability to invite the provincial party secretary Gu Yunzhi to Chunyang, this guy's ability was definitely extraordinary. Zhang Yang also revealed him an important information. This time, Vice Premier Wen's wife Luo Huining also came over. Li Changyu inferred that the reason why Gu Yunzhi chose to go to Chunyang might be for this reason.

Li Changyu whispered, "What should I do?" When he said this, he still felt gloating in his heart, asking you and Zuo Yuanchao to kick me away. Now that I'm fine, I'm looking at it.

Hong Weiji bit his lip and made an extremely important decision in a short time: "What else can I do? Leave it to Zuo Yuanchao, and we will go to Chunyang immediately!"

Xia Boda, director of the Provincial Party Committee Office, also had little understanding of Secretary Gu’s approach. He whispered: “Secretary Gu, why not go to Jiangcheng?”

Gu Yunzhi smiled and looked at the welcome crowd outside and whispered: "Is it necessary to explain?"

Xia Boda felt a stern heart. Gu Yunzhi's words were telling him the simplest truth. Secretary Gu is Pinghai's boss. He can do whatever he wants without explaining to anyone.

The main venue for the opening ceremony of the Chunyang Fuyang Festival is in Chunyang Stadium. The carefully decorated venue is filled with a festive atmosphere everywhere. Gu Yunzhi's arrival shocked the entire Chunyang County.

Qin Qing, secretary of Chunyang County Party Committee, welcomed Gu Yunzhi to the guest lounge. Deputy Prime Minister's wife Luo Huining had arrived first. Zhang Yang was talking with her. Former Beiyuan Military Region Commander-in-Chief Chu Zhennan also came with a group of old subordinates. Coincidentally, the Standing Committee member sent by Jiangcheng Committee to attend the opening ceremony of the Chunyang Branch was Guo Liang, the commander of Jiangcheng Military Sub-district. He was also an old subordinate of Chu Zhennan. The task of receiving Chu Zhennan was naturally handed over to him.

Gu Yunzhi first went to visit Luo Huining, which was a basic politeness. Gu Yunzhi had no particularly deep relationship with Wen Guoquan, and he was not a person who was tempted by the enemy, but he had always admired the ability and vision of the vice premier.

The opening ceremony was hosted by Qin Qing. The climax of the venue was held with Gu Yunzhi cutting the ribbon for the Fuyang Festival. Amid the deafening cheers, Gu Yunzhi began his speech with a foothold in the current situation and looking at the future.

Luo Huining sat in the guest seat listening to Gu Yunzhi's speech and whispered to Zhang Yang: "Secretary Gu is a very pragmatic person!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I admire him very much!" Then he added, "I admire all the officials who are older than me!"

Luo Huining couldn't help laughing and sighed: "You kid is really an official fan! This Fuyang Food Culture Festival is an opportunity for Jiangcheng's economic development. You must seize this opportunity to strive for a significant economic leap."

Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Hong Weiji and Executive Vice Mayor Li Changyu arrived at the Chunyang branch venue after the ribbon cutting ceremony. Perhaps because the weather was too hot, both of them were sweating profusely.

After Gu Yunzhi finished speaking, when he returned to the guest lounge to rest, they walked in.

Gu Yunzhi's expression did not show any abnormality, and he smiled and said, "You are late!"

Hong Weiji and Li Changyu chewed this sentence and felt that there must be an unusual taste in it, but they couldn't understand what Gu Yunzhi really meant.

Hong Weiji said: "Secretary Gu, we don't know..."

Gu Yunzhi interrupted him with a smile: "How could I not come about such a big thing in Jiangcheng Fuyang Festival? I just want to give you an unexpected surprise. Many people in our cadre team like to engage in formalism, and I don't like it, so I made a sudden attack, hoping to see the most real side of your work, and I hope you can understand it!"

Hong Weiji took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Understand, understand, Secretary Gu's ability to come is the greatest affirmation and support for our work!"

Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Chunyang, as a county in Jiangcheng, can hold this event so successfully as a branch venue, which proves that your Jiangcheng leadership team has a strong working ability. After seeing your branch venue, I will know that this Fuyang Food Culture Festival will definitely be a complete success!" Gu Yunzhi said everything, explaining him clearly when he came to the Chunyang branch venue without going to the main venue of Jiangcheng. In fact, he said this just to make Hong Weiji and his group feel better. He also knew that doing so would be equivalent to slapping the Jiangcheng leadership loudly in the face, which made them too embarrassed. Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but think of Zhang Yang, this kid, who is not an ordinary fucking man!

Just as she was thinking about Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang followed Qin Qing in. Although Qin Qing's expression was calm, her mood was extremely awkward. Whether she was willing or not, this Fuyang Food Culture Festival had already made her show off. Chunyang's branch venue and Jiangcheng's main venue have actually changed positions. Zhang Yang's approach would not prevent these city leaders from thinking about them or even resentment.

Gu Yunzhi nodded to Qin Qing with appreciation and said, "Our party needs young cadres like Qin Qing, who are very courageous and pioneering. We must value such young cadres!"

Qin Qing felt warm in his heart. Secretary Gu had obviously seen her current situation. He said this in front of Hong Weiji and Li Changyu, which was to show that he would support himself and also gave her a reassurance. If you don’t worry, just let it go, I will support you!

Zhang Yang leaned forward, and he also wanted to attract Secretary Gu's attention. As long as Gu Yunzhi said something to use his words, he would be able to look for Li Changyu with confidence and ask for a deputy director to do it.

But Gu Yunzhi didn't look at him at all, and said to Hong Weiji: "Comrade Weiji, with such a young and energetic team, you can let go of your hands and feet in Jiangcheng and do a good job!"

Hong Weiji nodded with a smile, and sweat appeared on his face again. He felt depressed and paralyzed. Why did I sweat so easily today?

Jiangcheng Fuyang Food Culture Festival has to surpass Chunyang in terms of the scale and momentum of the venue, but the acting mayor Zuo Yuanchao did not feel any pride at the moment. His current mood can be described as all kinds of flavors. He proposed the Fuyang Food Culture Festival and received support from many members of the Standing Committee from the beginning. Zuo Yuanchao admitted that he had excluded Li Changyu from the organizing committee matters very unkindly, and used investment promotion to make a fuss, temporarily kicking Zhang Yang out of the stage of Jiangcheng

When he kicked Zhang Yang away, he did not expect that such consequences would be brought. He did not expect that Chunyang, the branch venue, would become a tool for Zhang Yang to use and complete a political performance that would dominate the main character. Although Zuo Aidong knew that Zhang Yang had a lot of relationships, he never regarded Zhang Yang as a political opponent. He thought that no matter how capable Zhang Yang was, he was just a section-level cadre. Such a level would not pose too much threat to him, but this time he obviously miscalculated.

Zhang Yang's energy was stronger than he imagined. Chunyang's branch venue not only invited the provincial party secretary Gu Yunzhi to cut the ribbon, but also invited Vice Premier Wen's wife and former commander of the Beiyuan Military Region. All of these people were extremely influential figures in politics.

Vice Governor Zhao Jiting felt very uncomfortable when he learned that the boss was heading to Chunyang. Since Secretary Gu was coming, why bother to come to Jiangcheng to cut the ribbon? Gu Yunzhi's appearance made his current position very embarrassed, but he was unhappy and the task still had to be completed. He had to arrange it properly on Jiangcheng.

Although the opening ceremony of the main venue of Jiangcheng was very smooth, although the sky was shining brightly and the sky was clear, Zuo Yuanchao was covered in grey. He felt that the original intention of holding the Fuyang Food Culture Festival had completely deviated from the direction. He began to regret why he excluded Li Changyu? Why did he kick Zhang Yang out? In fact, this political achievements were originally his and no one could take it away. Why didn't he enlarge his belly? If he used Zhang Yang a little more, the person who enjoyed the scenery now would definitely be himself, and he would never have caused such an embarrassing situation in front of him.

The leaders of Jiangcheng City have different moods, but the people of Jiangcheng City are happy. They are happy because of this feast of the Fuyang Festival, and the fragrance of cooked mutton can be smelled everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The Chunyang County Party Committee and County Government specially arranged the most authentic whole sheep banquet for the guests who came. Eating mutton on the day of the summer makes the body heat, sweat and detoxify, and drive away the poison and moisture from winter and spring. This is a great innovation of food as a treatment.

The authentic way to eat sheep should go to the mutton restaurant. There is no fan or air conditioner. In the sweaty days, eat large pieces of meat and drink in big mouthfuls. When you are excited, the men will take off their sweatshirts and vests, go shirtless, laugh loudly, and be excited.

Of course, the whole sheep banquet for entertaining guests is much more exquisite. Not only is the dishes exquisite, but the environment is also quite elegant. In order to welcome the arrival of the leaders, the county party committee guesthouse specially decorated it.

These guests also praised the chef's carefully prepared whole sheep banquet. Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Jiangcheng held the Fuyang Food Culture Festival this time to set a good start for all cities in Pinghai and open up everyone's ideas. Our reforms need to constantly add fresh ideas!"

Hong Weiji, Secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee, said humbly: "This is inseparable from the support of the province and the care of the leaders!"

Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "I have no contribution to the Fuyang Festival. It is the result of your Jiangcheng cadres, and I dare not take the award!"

Everyone at the table laughed.

Gu Yun knew: "Cultural building stage economy and performing the show. The opening ceremony is only the first step, and subsequent investment promotion is the focus!"

Hong Weiji nodded and said, "Secretary Gu, our focus this time is to attract merchants to invest in Jiangcheng Development Zone. We will do our best to do this. We must seize this opportunity and let Jiangcheng's economy take off."

Gu Yunzhi smiled and said, "Do it well, I am optimistic about the future of Jiangcheng!"

Luo Huining's table was accompanied by Qin Qing, Gu Jiatong and other female guests. Zhang Yang also came here at the beginning, and soon followed Qin Qing to the table to toast. Drinking was this guy's strength, but today all the people who came here were well-known and there was not much room for him to play.

But when he came to the table of the old commander Chu Zhennan, Zhang Yang found some feeling of drinking. Chu Zhennan patted him on his shoulder and said, "Zhang Yang, these are all your uncles and uncles, and I will drink with them on behalf of me!" The old commander didn't see him. In his eyes, Zhang Yang seemed to have become his prospective grandson-in-law.

Zhang Yang was very obedient and each person drank two. When he drank to the commander of Jiangcheng Military Sub-district Guo Liang, Guo Liang couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, where did you get my Zhiqiang? I have been out early and come back late recently. I heard that I followed you to engage in investment promotion? Did he come today?"

Zhang Yang was secretly happy. It seemed that Commander Guo didn't know that his son was pursuing Xie Lizhen. During Xie Lizhen's outdoor scene shooting in Qingtai Mountain, Guo Daliang followed him all day and became a volunteer in the crew. In the past two days, Xie Lizhen returned to Hong Kong to rest, and Guo Daliang was considered idle. However, this guy was also a lazy person. Knowing that Zhang Yang was sent to Chunyang to assist in the investment, he also came to join in the fun.

Zhang Yang said: "He is helping at the opening ceremony party!"

Guo Liang shook his head helplessly and said, "It's okay to have something to do, so as to save me from causing trouble at home all day!"

Chu Zhennan said: "Young people are not afraid of causing trouble, but they are afraid of not being brave. Which of you guys saved me from worrying back then? Now, no one is the commander of the army, five or six?"

A group of old subordinates laughed, Xie Zhiguodao, director of Jingshan Municipal Public Security Bureau, said: "That's because our Commander Chu has good teaching. Come on! Let's treat the Commander to a cup!"

Chu Zhennan picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it. Zhang Yang hurriedly stopped it. This old man was a person with a temperament and could not stop him once he came up. But after all, he was old and could no longer fight like a young man. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "That's the matter! The old leader's body has just recovered, so he should drink less wine!" After he said this, Xie Zhiguo and his group also remembered Chu Zhennan's stroke a few days ago, and put down their wine glasses one by one.

Chu Zhennan obviously felt that Zhang Yang was a little disappointed, so he glared at him and said, "You need to care about me? Boy, have you turned against you?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Or I'll call Yanran now. In the middle of the night in the Atlantic Ocean, she had a bad temper and woke her up. I can't afford to take it!" This sentence was full of naked threatening meanings. Chu Zhen Nantian was not afraid of this treasure granddaughter. He laughed and said, "Okay, threaten me?" But the wine glass in his hand was handed to Zhang Yang: "If you don't let me drink, then you can drink it for me!"

Official Zhang was full of enthusiasm and picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncles and uncles, commanders and directors, I am brave today. As a landlord in Chunyang and as a junior of the old leader, I will each have four drinks with you!"

Everyone cheered together.

Chu Zhennan looked at Zhang Yang with a smile. He felt comfortable in his heart. This kid really likes him so much. This is the man!

Gu Yunzhi originally planned to leave after lunch, but Jiangcheng Municipal Party Committee Secretary Hong Weiji and others were kindly trying to keep him. Secretary Gu must see the new look of Jiangcheng this time. Gu Yunzhi considered it and came to the branch venue to cut the ribbon. This slap made Hong Weiji and his group of people very bad. For these subordinates, they had to put a piece of candy for them to eat after they were beaten, so that the resentment in their hearts could not be endlessly spread. Besides, Luo Huining is still in Chunyang, and she is polite. Gu Yunzhi should still be welcomed and accompanied. He did not want to get close to Wen Guoquan in this way, but the necessary political respect should still be shown.

In the afternoon, Gu Yunzhi took the time to visit Chu Zhennan, the former commander of the Beiyuan Military Region. He has been famous for a long time. Gu Yunzhi knew better that Zhang Yang was working at the Chunyang branch venue. This kid is really a talented person. A small section-level cadre who used the relationship at his hands to the extreme was equivalent to using the Chunyang branch venue to give a loud slap in the face. Gu Yunzhi sighed and felt a little funny. At such an age, he actually cooperated with him to work frantically. Zhang Yang hit someone on the left face, and he followed and gave Hong Weiji and his group of people the right face. Slapping the face to this point is considered merciless.

The noon reception banquet continued until three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Yang walked out of the county party committee guesthouse with a refreshing spirit. A group of staff behind him supported the general who was blushing and tilted. The directors walked out. Zhang Yang smiled and waved, "You must take good care of my uncles and uncles!"

Gu Jiatong, wearing a white dress, came to Zhang Yang's side. Zhang Yang looked at Gu Jiatong and sucked hard with her nose: "It smells so good! What perfume?"
