Chapter 250 [Human Weakness]

Zuo Yuanchao said with a lot of affection: "Hello everyone! Hello, children. I didn't have this event today on my agenda, but I heard that everyone is here to show love, so I immediately decided to come and thank all the companies present for our Jiangcheng leaders. The people on the water have made a good start for everyone. You companies have done a great thing for the children. Our reform is to make the economy develop and let the people live a better life. Only when the enterprises have better economic benefits can the society be rewarded and produce better and greater social benefits. Seeing your actions today, I was deeply moved. I believe that every ordinary person in Jiangcheng will be moved too! Only companies that only care about loving society are promising enterprises. The more companies you have like, the faster our development in Jiangcheng will be, and the better our tomorrow in China will be!"

Thunderous applause sounded at the scene.

Zhang Yang gave a wink to the president of the Welfare Institute. The president of the Welfare Institute mobilized the children to send love badges to every guest present, which naturally became the focus of the reporters' attention.

When taking a photo, Zuo Yuanchao was standing in the middle, two deputy mayors Yuan Chengxi and Yan Xinjian stood on both sides of him. The three of them were wearing love badges and had a knowing smile on their faces. Today is the right place!

At noon that day, several mayors stayed on the water for dinner. The meaning of this meal was different. It was called giving love to the children of the welfare home. It was different from the pure commercial dinner of the Xindihao. It was also a show. But how to make a show is more politically meaningful. The leaders clearly divided it. The opening ribbon cutting and caring for children are far different. During the meal, every city leader showed strong love, picking up food for the children around him from time to time, asking about his well-being, and constantly touching their heads. Of course, it contained a certain show. But when facing these pure children and seeing their situation, the most vulnerable part of the city leaders was still touched. Zuo Yuanchao immediately expressed that he would approve the next financial allocation to improve the children's lives and educational environment.

After lunch that day, the city leaders accompanied the children to carry out entertainment activities by the lake.

Zuo Yuanchao and the children played a ball on the grass, and were sweating profusely. Zhang Yang came over and handed him a bottle of mineral water: "Mayor Zuo, take a break!"

Zuo Yuanchao nodded and pointed to the chain not far away. Zhang Yang followed him to the chain to sit down. Zuo Yuanchao drank two sips of water and breathed a sigh of relief: "Time is not forgiving people!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Zuo City has always been strong in the country, how could he feel like this?"

Zuo Aidong looked at Zhang Yang meaningfully and said, "The energy cannot be compared with you young people, and the mind cannot be compared with you young people."

Zhang Yang knew that what he was referring to must be today's things, and smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I didn't think so much. I just thought that the weather was cold and the living conditions of these children in welfare homes were not good. Take this opportunity to organize enterprises to contribute their love and repay society."

Zuo Yuanchao said that it would be strange if you didn't think so much. He smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me such a memorable thing in advance? I'm ready!" Today, Zhang Yang was really caught off guard. If he hadn't joined the scene halfway, the joke would have been a big deal. If two things were on the news at the same time, wouldn't he have been compared to a negative example?

Zhang Yang said: "I asked Mayor Zuo's schedule and knew that you had a full schedule in the morning, so I didn't cause you any trouble."

Zuo Yuanchao said: "Nothing is more important than caring for these poor children. Zhang Yang, you have done a good job. This activity reminds all companies to enhance their sense of social responsibility." He paused and said: "What a coincidence, the water family and the new empress actually chose to open the business on the same day."

Zhang Yang's answer was beyond the expectations of Zuo Yuanchao, and the guy smiled and said, "I did it on purpose!"

Zuo Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Zhang Yang was undoubtedly a character who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, but his reason was so full that even if he was indifferent, others would speak so openly and so naturally. Such a person is indeed rare.

Zuo Yuanchao said: "Why didn't Ma Huacheng come?"

Zhang Yang said: "Director Ma said he focused on party affairs, and I left all the errands to do."

Zuo Yuan Dynasty certainly understood the work attitude Ma Huacheng possessed. He was a member of the Standing Committee. From the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Du Tianye sent Ma Huacheng to the Enterprise Reform Office, Zuo Yuan Dynasty knew that Du Tianye sent a symbol to the Enterprise Reform Office. Ma Huacheng played a symbolic role, which is related to the many recent controversies surrounding Zhang Yang. Secretary Du’s move was intended to help Zhang Yang share the firepower. Another important reason is that Dong Hongyu, director of the Investment Promotion Office, was suspected of having major economic problems. This matter is still in a secret investigation. If it is found that Dong Hongyu will inevitably retreat from the position of the Investment Promotion Office, then the position of the Director of the Investment Promotion Office will be suspended. Zhang Yang also has the position of deputy director of the Investment Promotion Office. He is definitely a popular candidate for the future director of the Investment Promotion Office. From Secretary Du’s arrangement, it can be seen that this position has been initially locked on Zhang Yang.

Zuo Yuan Dynasty had a deep impression of Du Tianye, who was young and strong, but lacked experience in municipal work. However, after Du Tianye came to Jiangcheng for a while, he found that although Du Tianye lacked specific work experience, he had a superlative overall view, which probably has a direct relationship with him from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Cadres who walked all the way up from the grassroots are used to paying attention to details, while cadres from the central government were exactly the opposite of them. This is both a disadvantage and an advantage. Du Tianye focused on the working method of the big picture, which is easy.

There was a phenomenon of being undermined, but fortunately, he had Zhang Yang, the best friend in Jiangcheng. Through Zhang Yang's relationship, he almost effortlessly united Deputy Mayor Yan Xinjian, Development Zone Management Committee Director Xiao Ming and the Public Security Bureau Director Rong Pengfei, together around him. Zuo Ai Korea and the new secretary had a tacit understanding. In many ways, the two shared their views, and Du Tianye also showed great respect for him. Compared with the former secretary Hong Weiji, the relationship between the party and the government is obviously much more harmonious now.

Zuo Yuanchao asked casually: "Why didn't Deputy Mayor Li come?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "He is busy with work and can't make arrangements!" He sighed in his heart. In fact, he invited Li Changyu in advance for this matter, but Li Changyu didn't agree to come for some reason. Zhang Yang probably felt afraid of Qiao Mengyuan's side, and the real reason was the same. Qiao Mengyuan also invited Li Changyu, but after Li Changyu weighed the pros and cons, he simply ignored both sides.

Zuo Yuanchao also guessed the reason why Li Changyu did not come. Now he has gradually ignored the threat Li Changyu has to do it. It is difficult to be able to be good at everything in politics. The more he wants to be versatile, the more he wants to do it, he may not please him in the end. Du Tianye, secretary of Jiangcheng Party Committee, is the team of Vice Premier Wen, and Gu Yunzhi, secretary of Pinghai Provincial Party Committee, is politically independent, but the relationship between Gu family and Zhang Yang is very close. Recently, Gu Mingjian's incident has proved this point even more. Starting from Gu Yunzhi's move to deal with Hong Weiji, and Qiao Lao Bao's situation comes.

Look, the relationship between the two of them is not very good. Zhang Yang is the godson of Vice Premier Wen. The grudge between Vice Premier Wen and Mr. Qiao is well-known in the system. Compared with the two, Left Aid Korea naturally has to choose a camp that is more beneficial to him. Mr. Qiao has withdrawn from politics, while Vice Premier Wen is a rising political star. He has a high call for election as the next prime minister, and Left Aid Korea is very smart, so it is not difficult to make a choice. It is one thing to attend Qiao Mengyuan's opening ceremony, but the choice of the camp is another thing.

Zhang Yang showed some curiosity about Dong Hongyu's incident and said softly: "Has something happened to Director Dong?"

Zuo Yuanchao smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense until there is no evidence, as it will cause a very bad impact."

Zhang Yang nodded.

There are many people who support Qiao Mengyuan's new imperial deity, but Qiao Mengyuan felt uncomfortable. On the first day of opening, she lost a battle in the competition with the water house. However, Qiao Mengyuan did not show any frustration and still greeted the guests with laughter. Instead, Xu Jiayong seemed very unhappy. He understood more than anyone that Zhang Yang was not targeting Qiao Mengyuan, but himself. During the time he went to the United States, Zhang Yang's repeated actions made him feel overwhelmed. Opening was just a trivial matter, but from this incident, it can be seen that Zhang Yang was already alert to him.

Qiao Mengyuan came to Xu Jiayong with a wine glass and whispered: "Happy, you are the male host today!"

Xu Jiayong smiled, but his smile was a little stiff. He accompanied Qiao Mengyuan to take a sip of red wine. He whispered: "Zhang Yang's hand is really not interesting!"

Qiao Mengyuan said calmly: "Business competition is understandable!"

Xu Jiayong said: "It is no longer a purely commercial means. He actually uses political shows and uses those kind children!"

Qiao Mengyuan said: "Putting aside his methods, the children in the welfare home did get benefits this time, and Zhang Yang is very capable!"

When Xu Jiayong heard Qiao Mengyuan praise Zhang Yang so much, he felt even more upset. He whispered: "I have something to do, leave first."

Qiao Mengyuan nodded. She understood the grudge between Xu Jiayong and Zhang Yang. Today's incident made Xu Jiayong feel frustrated, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

After leaving the new empress, Xu Jiayong went to Jiangcheng First People's Hospital to visit his old classmate Tian Bin.

Tian Bin's parents and Cheng Juan from the Public Security Bureau's Propaganda Department were all there. Xu Jiayong put down the gifts he bought and called Uncle Tian and Aunt Jiang politely.

Tian Qinglong smiled. Because of Xu Changde, he had no good impression of Xu Jiayong. He left the ward with the excuse of going out to smoke. Jiang Xinyue and Cheng Juan also went out.

Xu Jiayong patted Tian Bin on the shoulder and said, "How is it?"

Tian Bin smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm a tough life!"

Xu Jiayong smiled and said, "I'm so desperate. I didn't die even after being shot six times. It seems that the King of Hell is very caring for you!"

Tian Bin laughed: "Fortunately, my shot was not in vain!"

A very complicated expression flashed through Xu Jiayong's eyes: "When you were imprisoned, I thought you would never have the chance to be a policeman again. I am going to hire you as the company's security department director. It seems that you have no chance to get my high salary."

Tian Bin said: "I am still used to working for the Communist Party. I am not used to being unscrupulous capitalists like you."

Xu Jiayong sighed quite emotion: "Old classmate, your courage is really admirable. I am willing to risk your life and become an undercover agent with infamy and criticism. I admire you!"

Tian Bin smiled indifferently and said, "There is nothing to admire. I am a policeman. It is my responsibility to maintain justice and justice!" If Tian Bin had said such a great truth in the past, even he would have thought it was ridiculous, but now these words are sincere.

Xu Jiayong nodded and said, "It is really puzzling to hear that Dong Dezhi is the culprit in this matter. As a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, why does he do such a thing and why does he fight against the law?"

"I don't know!" Tian Bin did not want to discuss the case with people outside the system, although Xu Jiayong was his good friend.

Xu Jiayong said: "I heard that Fang Wennan is still insisting on suing you! Will this matter be in trouble?"

Tian Bin smiled and said nothing.

Xu Jiayong said: "I came today to see you. Mengyuan's new empress has opened. In two days, I plan to find old classmates to gather together. It may take several days to recover when you look at your appearance. This way! I will postpone it for a few days and wait until you are discharged from the hospital."

"Forget it, don't wait for me!"

Xu Jiayong said: "How can that be? You are the great hero among us. Now every student is proud of you. Everyone wants to see you!"

Once the love activities of the Water House were broadcast on the TV station, it attracted widespread attention from the whole society. The names of the Water House spread throughout Jiangcheng overnight. The good social benefits were directly reflected in the economy. After the business was opened, the business was full every day, as if coming to the Water House to have a meal was a kind of love and dedication.

Although the business of Xindihao is also good, there is a clear gap compared to the scene where people on the water are flocking to the table. Of course, there is a positive relationship. As the deputy director of the enterprise reform office, he still has a considerable effect in mobilizing enterprises to eat at the water.

Although Zhang Yang is not a person who pays attention to details, he doesn't like to break his promise. He once agreed to invite Shi Wei's parents to dinner at Hanjiatai. If he promised, he had to fulfill his promise. Zhang Yang arranged it in the water closet hall of someone else's water house.

The near water hall has just been renovated and is a water building with a long bridge connected to the shore.

Zhang Yang invited Shi Wei's family, but Qiao Mengyuan didn't invite him. Today she wore a grass-green down jacket with the same style as Shi Wei and smiled and said, "I'm here without invitation, Director Zhang, don't be surprised!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao is here to make the glory shine here. I am so eager to ask for it. Please, please, please come inside!"

Shi Jichang and Qiao Jihong were both wearing military uniforms. Shi Jichang smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, you can invite me to drink at Hanjiatai. It is logical that I should treat you."

Zhang Yang said: "Uncle Shi and Aunt Qiao came from afar. As juniors, they should be the best friend of the landlord." This guy's words became more and more adept at speaking, making people feel comfortable.

Qiao Jihong didn't have much good impression of Zhang Yang. The reason was that he had beaten his nephew Qiao Pengfei, and it was natural to protect his mother's family. However, Jichang had a good impression of Zhang Yang. This young man was enthusiastic and capable. As a son-in-law, he didn't like many things about his parents-in-law's family. Shi Jichang thought that Qiao Pengfei was too arrogant and it was worth suffering.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Yang opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai and smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, we didn't have enough drinks that day, and we will stop drunk today!"

When Shi Jichang saw him bringing a box of Feitian Moutai, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't have such a lot of alcohol. Let's drink it to the fullest. We will avoid getting drunk, so we can avoid being hurt."

The waiter helped them fill the wine. Qiao Mengyuan had just observed the environment and decoration level of the water house. It should be said that it was very distinctive, but when it comes to the luxury of the decoration, it still cannot be compared with the new emgrand. After all, the investment is different, but the water house's business is good.

Qiao Mengyuan said enviously: "The business on the water is really good!"

"The new empire is not bad either! The better your business, the more profits and taxes you pay, and the better the economy in our Jiangcheng."

Shi Wei smiled and said, "Listen to your tone, like the Director of the Taxation Bureau."

Zhang Yang said: "I want to do it. It's much easier for the director of the Taxation Bureau to do business than me, the enterprise reform office!"

Qiao Jihong said: "You can't say that. Every department has its own complexity of work. It's good for outsiders to see it, and only you know the hard work."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I think you are good at being an officer. There is no risk in peacetime. The benefits are good, the salary is high. You can even save clothes all year round. Why don't I go to the military snow with you as a teacher."

Shi Wei spat and said, "At your level, have you graduated from elementary school? You actually have to teach college students!"

Zhang Yang made a serious statement: "Related bachelor's degree in correspondence course!"

Hearing his explanation, even Qiao Jihong couldn't help laughing. He really didn't know how this guy had such a low education and how he rose so quickly in the officialdom. However, she soon thought of the answer. Zhang Yang is the godson of Vice Premier Wen Guoquan. With this relationship, who dared not give him face in the Jiangcheng system? Qiao Jihong did not expect that Zhang Daguan came step by step with his real skills.

Zhang Yang had just accompanied Ji Chang to drink two glasses of wine, and Peng Junxiang, the general manager of Shui Shang Ren, came to toast. Peng Junxiang did not want to compete head-on with Qiao Mengyuan, but Zhang Yang's suggestion made Shui Shang Ren proud in Jiangcheng, and the business these two days made Peng Junxiang overjoyed.

Qiao Mengyuan looked down on Zhang Yang, but she was not taken seriously by businessmen like Peng Junxiang. She even thought that Peng Junxiang was not qualified to come and toast. Although he was the general manager of the Water House, the major shareholder was Gu Jiatong. If Zhang Yang had not supported him, he would not dare to go against him with a hundred courage. So Qiao Mengyuan was quite cold to Peng Junxiang. Peng Junxiang also saw some signs and didn't say much after the toast. He didn't want to make things boring, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

Not long after Peng Junxiang left, someone came to disturb him. This time it was the brothers of Guo Zhihang and Guo Zhiqiang. Guo Zhiqiang was also a talented person. He has been with Xu Meini these two days. The old man saw some signs and asked about his younger son's movements through his eldest son. Only then did he realize that his son fell in love with a Hong Kong policewoman. Guo Jianjun was born and immediately proposed to meet Xu Meini. So tonight, someone ordered a meal on the water and invited Xu Meini to a meal. Xu Meini felt very sudden about this. He didn't want to go, but he couldn't help but begged Guo Zhiqiang, so he could only nod and agreed. The family was having a meal.

Guo Zhiqiang heard that Zhang Yang was also here to treat him, so the two brothers came over to drink with him, but as soon as they entered the room, Guo Zhiqiang was stunned. Shi Jichang, the principal of the Northern Military Academy, sat inside, and his department director Qiao Jihong was also inside. Guo Zhiqiang took a temporary leave this time and ran back. He secretly complained that something was wrong and he immediately wanted to quit, but unfortunately it was too late.

Qiao Jihong saw it clearly and said in a grim tone: "Guo Zhiqiang! Come in!"

Guo Zhiqiang then walked in with his head down, and shouted with a smile: "Hello Principal Shi, Hello Director Qiao! I'll come here to toast you!"

Shi Jichang smiled and said, "You kid is not in school, why are you running back? It seems that there is no holiday now?"

Guo Zhiqiang said: "There is something at home!" He introduced his elder brother to them to change the target.

After Guo Zhihang learned about Shi Jichang's identity, he hurried over to toast. Shi Jichang had a good relationship with his father Guo Jian, but this time Shi Jichang came to Jiangcheng and did not contact Guo Jian.

When Shi Jichang learned that Guo Jian was having dinner here, he immediately got up to toast. Guo Jian was older than him and was his big brother, so it was worth showing respect.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang asked Peng Junxiang to put the two tables together, and they all moved to the private room where Guo’s family had dinner.

When Guo Jian saw Shi Jichang, he naturally couldn't help but complain. As an old friend of many years, Shi Jichang came to Jiangcheng but did not notify him.

Shi Jichang smiled and said, "Brother, don't be surprised. This time I came with Jihong to attend the opening ceremony of the niece's hotel, and also to have a trip to Jiangcheng. I didn't dare to bother you in such a small matter. Actually, I plan to bother you and disturb you before I leave, so I will save you trouble."

Guo Jian said: "What's the trouble? Every time I go to Beijing, I'll trouble you a lot. According to what you say, I won't look for you anymore!"

Shi Jichang apologized repeatedly and drank three glasses of wine with Guo Jian before giving up.
To be continued...
