Chapter 1, Ascension Through Calamities

Looking back on Mr. Fu’s conversation that day, he actually had a foreseeable view of Fang Sheng’s current situation. I remember Mr. Fu said this at that time:

"Actually speaking, there will be no more hardships at the provincial and ministerial level, but there are hurdles that have to be guarded against... Maybe I have been worried too much, in short, it will determine the direction of your life. If you can get through it, you will be smooth after three things; if you can't get through it..."

It shows that Mr. Fu knew that Chief Sang was holding Xu Li’s card, but whether this card was played or not, Mr. Fu still tended to Chief Sang should not play, but just prevented problems before they happened. Then Mr. Fu gave Fang Sheng a number and emphasized:

"There are two conditions for calling this number. One is that you can't contact me, and the other is that you are desperate, remember!"

At this moment, Fang Sheng's situation was in full compliance with the conditions mentioned by Mr. Fu: First, Mr. Fu had passed away and could not contact him; second, judging by various signs, it seemed that he had no choice but to accept the appointment of the director of the Economic and Trade Commission, and that was, he was desperate.

The only concern is that people are in love, and Mr. Fu is no longer alive. Will the owner of that number admit his account?

No matter what, it's just a phone call. Whether to succeed or not must make a decision tonight, otherwise—

Otherwise, we have to continue training.

I silently recited the number twice in my heart and took a deep breath. Fang Sheng typed the number under the street light and dialed it out. The ringing sound was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

Just when Fang Sheng couldn't hide his disappointment and was about to hang up, the phone was answered in a cold manner, and a somewhat familiar and majestic voice came:

"Hello."

Before she could figure out the other party's identity, Fang Sheng said in one breath:

"Hello! My surname is Fang, my name is Fang Sheng. Fang Sheng, who is a college student village official, is currently working in western Jinxi. Many years ago, Mr. Fu gave me this number and said that when he encountered difficulties, he would definitely help you. I..."

The other party chuckled softly and said:

"Comrade Xiao Fang, do you know who I am?"

A lightning bolt pierced the sky!

Even though he was used to strong winds and waves, Fang Sheng, who could truly achieve the unchanging nature of Mount Tai collapsed before his eyes, was a little nervous in an instant, took two deep breaths and said:

"You... are Chief Liu?!"

——He owes me a favor and must help! Mr. Fu said back then, yes, Chief Liu can take over the position with a down-to-earth, steady and unsurprising nature, which is definitely inseparable from Mr. Fu's layout and planning many years ago!

In this situation, only the successor, Chief Liu, can turn the world around.

Chief Liu smiled softly and said, "I already know your business. I don't want to work in Kyoto, right? Indeed, your advantages are at the grassroots level and handling specific affairs. This is undoubtedly true. But focusing on the overall situation and obeying organizational arrangements is also the awareness that party members and cadres should have. In Kyoto, especially in departments like the Economic and Trade Commission, you can be more in a high-level position. Looking at the world, it is not an opportunity for comprehensive development. What does Comrade Xiao Fang think?"

Same words, different contexts.

Now, Chief Liu is not trying to persuade Fang Sheng to accept the organization's arrangement, but is asking, from which angle should I help?

Fang Sheng said: "The long-term time is precious, and I can't delay too long. I just want to say one thing, give me a province, and I am confident that the comprehensive indicators and GDP will increase by five rankings within three years!"

Fang Sheng knew that Chief Liu was from a technical background and paid the most attention to effectiveness and data, so he resolutely issued a military order.

After thinking for a little while, Chief Liu said: "Comrade Xiao Fang is very confident in himself. OK, don't forget this promise. If I can't make it in three years, I will ask you!"

"Please rest assured, Comrade Fang Sheng does what he says!" Fang Sheng replied loudly.

It really responds to the saying: Suddenly, the spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed!

The next morning, at the opening ceremony of the third training class of the Party School, Fang Sheng and Yan Huajie and other students sat upright, Xie Zhiyan came to Chief Yue's office upon appointment.

"I haven't had a good sleep all night, my forehead buzzed and my eyes were filled with stars," Chief Yue rubbed his temples in distress, "I won't go to the activities of Zhong Organization Department in the afternoon. Let me explain it when I look back at Zhiyan's presidency."

Xie Zhiyan had a good relationship with him and spoke casually, and said with a smile: "If you don't speak in person, the **s of all provinces and cities will be very disappointed. I want to listen to your teachings if you look forward to the stars and the moon."

"Not seeking truth from facts!" Chief Yue smiled and pointed at the other party, and said, "Zhiyan, over there..." He pointed to the east, "The attitude has changed again. Let's see which province Comrade Fang Sheng is more appropriate to preside over the overall work?"

“Supervising the work?”

Xie Zhiyan was dumbfounded and thought to himself that this was not a small change, it was a 180-degree turn, and even the old driver couldn't bear it!

On the cautious side, he stared at it, "Does the thing over there mean to be a new province to be the President of Shen, or to promote the Secretary of the Shen Party Committee?"

"Of course I have been promoted by the overall work, alas..." Chief Yue sighed.

Now Xie Zhiyan finally understood the real reason why Chief Yue was not sleeping well. When he was about to retreat, he was forced to rush forward and offend so many people, but in the end he had to pinch his nose and clean up the mess by himself.

"The turn is so fast, there is no preparation in advance, it is not like his style, right?" Xie Zhiyan said suspiciously.

Chief Yue pointed to another aspect: "Maybe that person has spoken. In this situation, that person's words are more substantial."

Xie Zhiyan said a long time and said, "It's so amazing..."

I don’t know if it is whether Chief Sang is powerful, Chief Liu is powerful, or Fang Sheng is powerful.

It is logical that it was very difficult to make a sudden change of position as Secretary of the Committee for Fang Sheng. The first training class implemented all the positions of Secretary of the Committee for the Committee for the Committee, and the second training class adjusted a considerable number of Presidents. After the third training class was promoted, the personnel transfer was temporarily frozen, and Xie Zhiyan's term in the Zhong Organization Department had basically come to an end.

But isn't there no way? Of course not.

There were twelve students in the first period. At first, they had a place to go, but there was no twelve to eight, which were all variables that arose later.

Therefore, there is a top-secret form on Xie Zhiyan's desk that is about to be destroyed, which clearly lists Fang Sheng's expected destination: Shanggaosheng!

As a province located in the south, but the comprehensive ranking has always been with the Central Plains and many northern provinces, Shanggao Province has less presence than Linhai Province.

Linhai Province can at least be brave enough to call itself a developed coastal region. The economic status of Shanggao Province often makes students mistakenly think that it is inland. It is probably the vast majority of people who only occasionally hear about it in the weather forecast.

Hou Changlin, secretary of the Shanghai High School Committee of the People's Republic of China, who is currently in charge of comprehensive work, was ambitious when he first took office, that is, with Shuangjiang Province as the goal, and strive to surpass Linhai in all GDP growth rate and comprehensive indicators within five years.

After that, we made drastic efforts to establish the whole system, personnel reform, state-owned enterprise reform, introduction of foreign capital, increase investment in urban construction and transportation, accelerate the transformation and upgrading process, etc., and were in full swing.

The wave of vigorous investment and construction has faded, and the ground is full of mess: only empty factories and construction sites are left in the economic development zones built in various places; corruption cases in infrastructure projects such as bridges and highways seem to be unable to catch them; high-pollution and high-energy consumption enterprises have been driven away, but high-tech industries have not been developed; there is a shortage of talent training, and a group of young and strong cadres have been tempted by the mountain of investment promotion tasks, but the new generation of cadres cannot take over due to their experience and lack of ability...

What made Hou Changlin feel frustrated was that when faced with this mess, he didn't know which link went wrong. Anyway, he tried his best and paid a price that ordinary people could not understand. He had not returned to his hometown for more than four years in office, and had a New Year's Eve dinner with his wife and children. He used all his business connections to invest but ended in losses...

Feeling unable to turn things around, he took the initiative to ask for transfer from Shanggao twice this year, with the reason "let the more capable comrades lead Shanggao people to make progress."

Zhong Organization Department has been hesitating: Should I give Hou Changlin another chance, or should I choose the candidate for the Secretary of the Committee for the Parliament?

Leading cadres like Hou Changlin who are serious and have poor abilities, are willing to do things but cannot do good things, are not uncommon in the mainland. From the perspective of Zhong Organization Department, if they cannot find a suitable candidate, Hou Changlin would be more at ease.

Later, during the secret solicitation of opinions, someone recommended Fang Sheng, and immediately received recognition from Zhong Organization Department, including Xie Zhiyan, and listed it on the form solemnly.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and Fang Sheng was kicked out directly. Xie Zhiyan could only regretfully tsk the mouth and prepare to let Hou Changlin take the initiative again. After the major change, Chief Liu could not decide who he was.

Since the Secretary of the Shen Party Committee is not replaced, the burden of the weak economic development will be borne by President Shen. After repeated consideration, the Kyoto leadership decided to let Fan Xiaoling, who was full of enthusiasm, go for a breakthrough.

Another unexpected thing was that Fan Xiaoling had already gone to the post. He suddenly decided to promote Fang Sheng. At this time, the only place he could be freed was Hou Changlin, who was willing to transfer.

Because Fan Xiaoling is also a cadre from Shuangjiang, Wuxiang, Huanghai and even Santan Town, and has had an intersection with Fang Sheng. Although there is no evidence that the two are close, or Fang Sheng has played an important role in Fan Xiaoling's career, the Zhong team has always believed that they have it rather than not. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to consider letting them partner.

However, again, the accident that happened to Fang Sheng was too unexpected, and even Chief Yue felt a headache.

"Shang Gao... partner with Fan Xiaoling..."

Chief Yue murmured, "Then let's go to high school temporarily. It's not tiring for men and women to work together. Moreover, Comrade Fang Sheng has always been good at getting along with lesbians, at least..."

Xie Zhiyan continued with a smile: "At least you don't have to worry about the quarrels of the Standing Committee, hahaha..."

After the news spread, all parties were so shocked that their chins fell to the ground!

This is the most dangerous, weakest and helpless battle since Santan Town embarked on the career of officialdom. When he was completely on the verge of despair, even Chief Chen and Yu family were about to give up their efforts, Fang Sheng actually survived again and stood firmly on the edge of the cliff.

Moreover, none of the parties understood why Chief Liu was silent at first and delayed until the last moment before speaking. What was the reason?

No one can figure it out.

After a hurry talk, he didn't go anywhere in Kyoto. Fang Sheng went straight from the Party School to the airport and flew to Shanggao accompanied by Fan Hongyu, deputy director of the Zhong Organization Department.
