Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

The meeting room was silent for a few minutes, with only the sound of the three people drinking tea.

After a moment, Lao Fang spoke first: "Lao Lu, which city was that from? His voice didn't sound familiar."

Lu Feng said, "Fu Ming, the vice mayor of Hao City, is in charge of investment promotion."

Zhang Beishan leaned back on the sofa, a faint smile on his face: "Old Fang, what do you think of that phone call just now?"

Fang Haiming did not answer immediately.

He pondered for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

"It's quite unusual for a vice mayor in charge of investment promotion to make such a call across cities, even to the mobile phone of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee."

He paused for a moment, then added, "This person worked in the provincial government for a few years; logically speaking, he shouldn't be so tactless."

Fang Haiming's words, seemingly a simple evaluation of Fu Ming's behavior, were actually a prelude to a conversation.

There must be a reason why a deputy director-level official would do something so illogical.

He first presented Fu Ming's resume and background, then steered the discussion toward the question of "why he dared to do this."

This person likely has powerful backers.

Lu Feng picked up the conversation: "Governor Fang is right. A vice mayor making this kind of call shows that he thinks he has someone to rely on."

He felt that he could make the call and cover it up.

"Furthermore, did you two notice? When he called, he didn't even confirm who was on the other end."

Lu Feng slightly raised his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips: "It shows he doesn't care who's on the other side, because he thinks the tree behind him is big enough."

The smile on Zhang Beishan's face had disappeared, and he said seriously, "He used his official position to make this threatening phone call to a higher-level leader during official hours."

He tapped the coffee table, making two crisp sounds: "If he were just an ordinary person, we could leave this matter unresolved."

"But since he wears the title of deputy mayor, he represents the image of a local government."

"Old Lu is the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and he represents the decision-making direction of the provincial party committee. For a deputy mayor to dare to speak like this, it's not just a personal attack."

Fang Haiming's eye twitched, knowing that the secretary was going to take this matter very seriously.

In other words, Lao Lu was not representing himself at this moment, but the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Sitting in this position represented the authority of the Provincial Party Committee.

Fu Ming's phone call was obviously not directed at Lao Lu personally, but at the Provincial Party Committee.

Going a step further, Fu Ming's phone call just now was a challenge to the provincial party committee and also a challenge to the organization.

Old Fang's face remained expressionless, but he secretly marveled at the ruthlessness of Secretary Zhang.

Zhang Beishan is one of the few secretaries who understands the art of balancing things and dares to take drastic measures.

He usually seems easygoing, but when it comes to meetings, he listens to all sides and gives people a sense of fairness, openness, and willingness to discuss things.

But don't think that this person doesn't have ruthless methods.

Once you encounter something that touches on matters of principle, like Fu Ming, or the An family last time, or Xiangcheng last time...

He will not hesitate to use political characterization to strike at the organization's authority.

This style of being open to negotiation but uncompromising on principles keeps opponents in a state of great uncertainty, making them hesitant to test his bottom line.

You can never predict whether the smiling secretary in front of you will suddenly elevate your matter to the level of organizational authority.

But once it's elevated to that level, the cost is devastating.

This is also why Lao Fang has been quietly working as a non-stick pan in Ba Province for so many years.

When you're dealing with a top leader like that, you can't afford to make a single mistake, because if you do, you'll have no way out.

After Zhang Beishan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Feng and said, "Old Lu, you tell us yourself."

This requires Lu Feng to first demonstrate his stance.

After all, Lu Feng is the person involved, and the way he speaks directly determines which direction this matter will ultimately take.

After considering it for a moment, Lu Feng sighed softly: "Secretary Zhang, Governor Fang, I'm not angry about this call."

"I just feel regretful that there are still people in our cadre team who talk about things in this way."

He paused, then continued, "I noticed he mentioned someone, Jiang Yue from Hao City."

"For a deputy mayor to make a threatening phone call across cities for this person shows that he has already established a deep foothold in Jiang Yue's chain of interests."

Old Fang gave Lu Feng a deep look, his face still showing the same regretful expression.

But what he said was extremely harsh.

He said he wasn't angry, but then he turned around and steered Fu Ming toward "standing up for someone" and "being bound by interests," which was guiding the secretary to think in the direction of "a protective umbrella for a corruption chain."

Moreover, if these words were spoken at a meeting, it wouldn't just be a matter of being dismissed from their posts; it would directly push the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection towards investigation and review.

To Lao Fang, Lao Lu was no simple man either.

He not only has a vision from behind the scenes, but also a depth of understanding of the intentions of those at the top, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

In other words, this person is cooperating with you at this stage, but their future does not depend on your evaluation, because their promotion path is controlled at a higher level.

In other words, don't expect to use your evaluation to strangle him; it simply won't work.

Secondly, this person is the most difficult type of official to deal with, the kind who is extremely opaque in terms of information.

He rarely makes a move, so you have no idea how much he knows, what cards he's holding, or whose dirt he has on.

If he doesn't move, it's hard for you to find his weaknesses, figure out his bottom line, or know where his interests lie, or even who his allies are.

Moreover, such people are often extremely patient and have their own rhythm.

He won't follow anyone's lead; he'll only act at the moment he chooses.

He secretly cultivates and divides the people around you, and then gains enough of your weaknesses, but he doesn't say anything on the surface and just smiles at you.

When the time was right, he only used one move, and that move was the ultimate move he had been holding back for a long time.

In the game's parlance, it's like you thought he was alone, having wandered into the bushes by himself.

You excitedly chased after them, only to find five burly men crouching in the grass.

So, even though he's the second-in-command, all he can do in front of these two is act like a non-stick pan, carefully making his way to the other side.

"Old Fang," Zhang Beishan suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts, "you tell us too."

Lu Feng's gaze also fell over.

Both of them were waiting for him to make a statement.
