In fact, today was the second time that Chen Xing had dealt with Fang Pingping. The first time was three days ago. It was also at that time that Chen Xing witnessed Fang Pingping's shrewish style. Later, he learned some information about Fang Pingping from his secretary, Yu Zhiyuan. Therefore, Chen Xing had a general understanding of Fang Pingping. That was why Chen Xing avoided Fang Pingping in advance yesterday evening.
He could avoid her once, but he couldn't avoid her forever!
Fang Pingping came in. Chen Xing put on a smiling face. Although he didn't like to deal with difficult women like Fang Pingping, Chen Xing couldn't ask his secretary to say that he was not in the office since Fang Pingping had seen him.
After inviting Fang Pingping to take a seat, Chen Xing also sat down on the sofa opposite Fang Pingping. In fact, although he knew that Fang Pingping was difficult to deal with, most of what Chen Xing knew was from hearsay. After all, he had only met Fang Pingping once. It was impossible for Chen Xing to say that he knew Fang Pingping very well.
Mayor, it's not easy to meet you. Fang Pingping's voice was coquettish. It was impossible to tell that she was a woman in her late forties.
Boss Fang, if you come to me for the quota, then I can only say sorry. The city has a set of strict standards for the selection. It won't be decided by a leader. As the saying goes, there can be no standards without rules. If the leader interferes at will, it will be a mess, and the city will lose its original intention of supporting cultural enterprises. Chen Xing smiled. Fang Pingping was a difficult person to deal with. Chen Xing simply cut to the chase and cut off the topic first, so that he wouldn't have a headache later.
Mayor, isn't the ultimate goal of the City Government to support cultural enterprises to create a few well-known cultural brands that can represent Jiangcheng City? Our Performing Arts Group should at least get one spot. After all, we are a state-owned enterprise under the City Government. If our Performing Arts Group doesn't get one of the ten spots, and it is given to a private enterprise, Mayor, it will be disappointing. After all, state-owned enterprises are the City Government's sons and daughters. The City Government has to take care of them. Fang Pingping said.
CEO Fang, there are more than 10 state-owned enterprises in the city. If we take care of one state-owned enterprise but not another, the other state-owned enterprise will also complain. So, to avoid disputes, the city still has to follow the rules. This way, we can be fair. Chen Xing smiled.
Mayor, if you want to be impartial, then I have an even bigger problem. Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about our Performing Arts Group and the City's Newspaper Group. We are both state-owned enterprises under the City. Why does the Newspaper Group get more support from the City than us? Look, the Newspaper Group's salary is so good, but our Performing Arts Group's employees can't even pay their salaries. The City can't always give the bulk of the funds to those few state-owned enterprises. Take our Performing Arts Group for example, we can only get leftovers. Fang Pingping complained.
Chen Xing was speechless when he heard Fang Pingping's words. He really didn't know much about this situation. After all, he had just arrived and it was impossible for him to know everything. Especially these city-owned state-owned enterprises, which were usually managed by the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Although some key city-owned state-owned enterprises were directly managed by the municipal government, as a new mayor, he didn't have the energy to worry about them. Moreover, according to the division of labor, the Executive Deputy Mayor, Kong Zhengliang, was in charge of the state-owned enterprises.
Recalling how Kong Zhengliang had slipped away faster than a rabbit, Chen Xing could not help but grumble inwardly. He thought that Kong Zhengliang must have been pestered by Fang Pingping for a long time, that's why he slipped away faster than a rabbit.
As Chen Xing was thinking, Fang Pingping, who was sitting opposite him, was also angry. She had a bigger grievance that she didn't mention. That was, the performing arts group and the newspaper group were both key state-owned enterprises, but the newspaper group was at the level of a deputy department, while the performing arts group was only at the level of a division chief. That was to say, the boss of the newspaper group was at the level of a deputy department chief, while she, the boss of the newspaper group, was only at the level of a division chief.
For a woman like Fang Pingping, the difference of one level was like the difference between heaven and earth. When the previous boss of the performing arts group was transferred, because he was at the level of a division chief, he was only transferred to Jiangfeng District as a standing committee member of the district committee and the head of the publicity department. The boss of the newspaper group, on the other hand, was directly transferred to the position of the executive deputy head of the publicity department. This was the difference!
Of course, Fang Pingping did not dare to complain to Chen Xing about this level of dissatisfaction. Although her style was a little shrewish, the reason she was able to climb to her current position and hold it firmly was because she knew how to control the 'degree'. In front of the leader, Fang Pingping knew how to make use of her advantages and act coquettishly when it was time to act coquettishly. The leader was also human and no one was willing to deal with a dull and uninteresting person. As a woman, she should know how to make use of her advantages and act coquettishly in front of the leader. In fact, sometimes the leader would not be disgusted by her acting coquettishly in front of the leader. Instead, it would leave a good impression on the leader. Of course, acting coquettishly here was not the same as how ordinary women acted coquettishly in front of men. Instead, it was about technique. Not only did she have to act coquettishly according to the person, she also had to control the degree.
The performing arts group had been facing difficulties in the past two years. Last year, it was the first time it had suffered a loss. This year, the situation was not good either. Therefore, as the boss, Fang Pingping was anxious. She often went to the city to ask for money. That was why Kong Zhengliang had such a headache whenever he saw Fang Pingping. As Kong Zhengliang was in charge of the state-owned enterprises, Fang Pingping always bypassed the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to look for Kong Zhengliang directly.
This time, the city was going to vigorously develop the cultural industry and build several well-known cultural brands. Fang Pingping was immediately interested. The performing arts group was now in trouble. This time, she had to get the quota from the city no matter what. It was real money. Only a fool would refuse it.
However, from her past experiences, Fang Pingping also knew that it was not easy to get the quota. Before looking for Chen Xing, she had also looked for Kong Zhengliang. Kong Zhengliang was also annoyed by her. However, when she saw Kong Zhengliang refused her every time with a straight face, Fang Pingping thought of another plan. Other people only knew to keep an eye on Kong Zhengliang's office. No one dared to have any ideas about Chen Xing. So, she was bold for once and went to the Mayor Chen Xing's office to talk to her. As a female leader, Chen Xing could not be too calculative with her.
As it turned out, although the new Mayor Chen was young, he was also not easy to talk to.
At this moment, after Fang Pingping was done complaining, she looked at Chen Xing with puppy eyes and put on a pitiful expression. It had to be said, she had been an actress when she was young. Now that she was acting pitiful, her acting skills did not lose to professional actors.
Mr. Fang, the city will find out about the situation of the performing arts group, but it is different from the cultural enterprise that the city is going to support this time. Whether it can be selected or not, everything has to be strictly according to the rules. I can't make the decision. Chen Xing glanced at Fang Pingping and shook his head with a smile.
Mayor, if you say you can't make the decision, who will believe you? Fang Pingping pouted.
When Chen Xing saw Fang Pingping's attitude, he couldn't take it anymore. This woman who was almost forty years old was pouting adorably like a woman in her twenties. Chen Xing felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. If it wasn't for the fact that Fang Pingping was indeed good-looking, Chen Xing would have puked by now.
Well, Mr. Fang, I have to discuss something with Mayor Zhengliang later. You'd better wait for the city's notice. Whether the performing arts group is selected or not, we will know when the city announces the list. Chen Xing smiled and decided to see her off. Otherwise, Fang Pingping would never stop pestering him.
Fang Pingping was not willing to leave like this. However, when she saw that Chen Xing had stood up, she knew that Chen Xing was really going to see her off. Hearing that Chen Xing had to discuss business with Kong Zhengliang, Fang Pingping knew that it was not suitable for her to pester him anymore. This was a matter of "degree". As the person in charge of a state-owned enterprise, she could ask for support from the leaders of the city. She could act shamelessly, and the leaders would not blame her. After all, she was doing it for the development of the enterprise. However, if she went too far, it would be counterproductive.
Mayor, let's not talk about the quota. In a few days, there will be an internal party of our performing arts group, and we would like to invite you to attend. Mayor Chen, you can't refuse. Fang Pingping rolled her eyes and said.
Okay, I can agree to that. Chen Xing nodded.
