Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, I am not low-key enough? The bonded area that has been launched with great effort has been excluded from the management in a blink of an eye. Even if I have no credit, I will work hard, right? I would like to ask, is the bonded area now part of the coast?"

Xiang Cheng sighed in his heart, why did you complain? He only blamed you for offending Song Huaiming. Now it’s not that I want to punish you, but that the number one figure in Pinghai wants to deprive you of your power. What do you want to compete with others? Xiang Cheng didn’t feel gloating. Under Song Huaiming’s leadership, he was also a politically frustrated person. He was the same as Zhang Yang now. Xiang Cheng said: “The bonded area is of course part of Binhai.”

Zhang Yang said: "Since it is part of Binhai, I, the secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee, do you think it is normal?"

Xiang Cheng said: "Xiao Zhang, don't have too many ideas. This is the arrangement of the superior leader, and I believe there is still some truth."

Zhang Yang said: "Secretary Xiang, I actually understand what happened recently. Everyone understands it. You just said that public is public and private is private. But how many people can really distinguish it? I don't think even Secretary Song can clearly distinguish it."

Xiang Cheng saw that Zhang Yang was full of resentment towards Song Huaiming, and at this time he was not easy to interrupt. This does not mean that Xiang Cheng supported Song Huaiming wholeheartedly, but that he did not want to say it or dared to say it. Over the years, Xiang Cheng had never said bad things about his leader in front of outsiders. The trust between people in the officialdom is very low. If someone complains in front of you, you will follow the words, and maybe the other party will turn around and sell you to a leader.

Zhang Yang said: "To be honest, I have made the worst plan."

Xiang Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I want to hear, what are your so-called worst plans?"

"At worst, I'll stop doing it. The world is so big. Can I still have no place to live?"

Xiang Cheng heard from Zhang Yang's voice that he seemed to have the intention to leave Beigang. He said without saying a word: "In fact, no one can go smoothly. Whether in life or work, if you want to make progress, you should not think of the first thing you think of when encountering difficulties should not be retreating, but going head-on. Only by facing difficulties head-on and treating the difficulties in front of you as a life experience can you keep improving."

Zhang Yang said: "I'm not willing to leave like this!"

Xiang Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "I went to the capital this time to find the next stop?" If it were the past, Xiang Cheng would never have imagined that one day he would sit together in harmony with Zhang Yang, the arrogant junior, and talk to his heart.

Zhang Yang said: "No, no matter how much I complain, I am not the one who gave up. I went there this time mainly because I did something private. Secretary Xiang wouldn't blame me, right?"

Xiang Cheng said: "Everyone has times when they are unhappy. Since you are unhappy, you might as well give yourself a vacation and make some adjustments." Xiang Cheng seemed very considerate and cheerful.

Zhang Yang said: "Thank you Secretary Xiang for your concern. Although I don't want to take care of it, I can't take care of the Binhai Free Trade Zone. I know that some people don't want me to take care of it, but investors are coming for me. If I don't come forward, they will be no longer interested in investing. It's not that I am overestimating myself, and I can't do it if I leave some things."

Xiang Cheng said: "I heard something happened to Lan Xing."

Zhang Yang said: "I have also heard that Mr. Jin Shangyuan, the president of Blue Star Group, unfortunately passed away. Seoul has been making a lot of noise recently, but this is someone's internal affairs and we are not convenient for us to interfere. Secretary Liu said just now that I abducted Jin Min'er. Are you angry?"

Xiang Cheng said: "The purity is clear. Since you have never done it, don't be afraid of being told by others. I think this matter is a bit ridiculous. In just one week, how could you run to Seoul to take Jin Min'er away? Besides, there is no record of entering and leaving the country." Xiang Cheng was not telling the truth. In fact, he was still a little suspicious of Zhang Yang. This kid was crazy and could do anything.

Zhang Yang chatted in Xiang Cheng's office for more than half an hour before leaving. As soon as he walked out of the room, he received a call from Binhai Mayor Xu Shuangqi. Because he took Xu Shuangqi's easy-to-car this time, Xu Shuangqi had to wait for him even though he finished the meeting.

Zhang Yang didn't plan to leave immediately, and said to the phone: "Old Xu, you go first, I'll go back by myself later."

Xu Shuangqi closed the phone and said to the driver: "Let's go and go to Secretary Zan's side."

The Secretary Zan mentioned by Xu Shuangqi is Zan Shijie, former secretary of Binhai County Party Committee. After Zan Shijie was replaced by Zhang Yang, he went to the Beigang Science and Technology Commission. Now he is basically semi-retired.

When Xu Shuangqi came to Zhashijie's office, he saw Zhashijie painting Chinese paintings there. Xu Shuangqi came to the painting table and smiled and said, "Secretary Zha, it's so elegant!"

Zan Shijie looked up at Xu Shuangqi, smiled, and added two more strokes to the picture. He put down his brush, walked to the pool, washed his hands, and invited Xu Shuangqi to sit down on the sofa. From Xu Shuangqi's position, he happened to see the five big words "Youran see Nanshan" written on the banner opposite. Xu Shuangqi subconsciously looked out the window. From here, you could indeed see the small hill bun in the south. Xu Shuangqi said: "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, Leiran see Nanshan. Are Secretary Zan planning to be a hermit?"

Zan Shijie made a cup of tea for him with his own hands, and then he picked up the big tea cup on the table and took a sip: "I'm a hermit long ago!"

Xu Shuangqi laughed. People who have become hermits throughout history are often politically unsuccessful people. The current Zan Shijie does belong to this type.

Zan Shijie took out a box of China, but Xu Shuangqi took out a box of Marlboro: "Get this one, it's exciting."

Zan Shijie smiled and shook his head, but still pulled out his Chinese and held it between his lips. Xu Shuangqi took out a lighter to help him light it, and he also lit a Marlboro. The two of them took a few puffs of cigarettes, and the air inside was filled with the fragrance of tobacco mixed together.

Zan Shijie said: "Why do you think of seeing me today?"

Xu Shuangqi said: "I came by the way. Secretary Liu of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has arrived and held a small meeting for everyone."

Zan Shijie's eyebrows moved. Since he got off from the position of Binhai's top leader, he had already moved away from the power center of Beigang. He would not know about such things. Zan Shijie said: "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is still so caring about Beigang. Has anyone made a mistake again?"

Xu Shuangqi said: "It's nothing. I just emphasized the discipline. It should be aimed at Zhang Yang. He left without saying goodbye before and couldn't contact him for a week. Some people said he went to Seoul. Anyway, he was stared at by his superiors."

Zan Shijie also heard about Zhang Yang's recent troubles. He sighed and said, "In the past ten years, no one knows what he will be like tomorrow." He is talking about Zhang Yang and himself.

Xu Shuangqi said: "I think he can't stay in Binhai for long."

Zan Shijie didn't say anything, but his body tilted to Xu Shuangqi, indicating in this way that he wanted to hear the answer.

Xu Shuangqi said: "He and Secretary Song's daughter have broken up, so naturally they have lost favor. Now the management rights of the bonded area have been taken back. The relationship between him and Gong Qiwei is getting worse and worse, and now it is quite bad."

Zan Shijie said: "Tree moves to die, people moves to live. With his current situation, it is wise to leave early." He figured out his inner thoughts from Xu Shuangqi's expression. Zhang Yang's arrival had already made Xu Shuangqi give up on his career, but recently his superiors kept giving Xu Shuangqi power and also made his ambitions start to piping. It can be said that Xu Shuangqi is the one who is most looking forward to Zhang Yang leaving. Only when Zhang Yang leaves will there be a vacancy in the position of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee Secretary, and he has the hope of filling this vacancy.

Xu Shuangqi said: "Secretary Zan, according to you, who has more hope for Mayor Gong or Deputy Secretary Gong?"

Zan Shijie glanced at Xu Shuangqi. Xu Shuangqi's words were the same as not asking. The entire Beigang had already seen who was Xiang Cheng's successor. How could Xu Shuangqi not see clearly? Asking it knows that it was? It shouldn't be that people in the officialdom face the problem of standing in the team almost every once in a while. People like Zan Shijie who have been ruled out of the central power circle may not need to consider for the time being, but Xu Shuangqi would not be the case. He had to make a choice between Gong Huanshan and Gong Qiwei.

Xu Shuangqi's question made Zang Shijie a little unhappy. It should be said that it was a sad story. He was also a person who was in power at the time, but now, in a blink of an eye, it has become yesterday's yellow flower. There are talented people in the world, a generation of new people replaced old people, the Yangtze River waves pushed the previous waves, and the previous waves died on the beach. His officialdom has undoubtedly entered a dead end, and he can't see hope.

Xu Shuangqi came to ask for advice this time, but Zan Shijie felt an indescribable sense of loss. He thought for a while before saying, "Shuangqi, this game of chess cannot be controlled by you. If I were you, I would rather be a bystander than be a chess piece for others to manipulate."

This is the hottest season in Beigang. In such a season, people's hearts are prone to become impetuous. Zhang Daren sat in the office, blowing air conditioning and tasting tea. This guy has been living leisurely and comfortable since he returned from Seoul. In the eyes of others, he has been much more restrained recently. He rarely appears in public, and even his reports are rarely seen on local TV news.

But some people are destined to be unable to keep a low profile. Even if you hide, others can still find you. Kim Min-ah's affairs did not end because they fled Seoul. Kim Seung-hwan pursued Zhang Yang through diplomatic channels.

Kwon Zhengtai came to Binhai City accompanied by Bai Zhijun, a special commissioner of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This time he came here on Kim Seung-hwan's entrustment to investigate Kim Min-er's disappearance.

These two can be said to be both Zhang Yang's old acquaintances. When he was fighting all over the world in New York State, USA, Bai Zhijun was a staff member of the New York State Consulate. As for Quan Zhengtai, he was even more familiar with the inside story.
