Sui Qi's words are somewhat ambiguous. Is it that Fang Zhicheng's appearance has shaken Sui Qi's original idea of celibacy, or is it that Fang Zhicheng's appearance has affected Su Qing's image as a strong lady? In short, Fang Zhicheng will not care about her words, because Sui Qi has drunk a lot of wine, and drunken talk is the most untrustworthy lie.
Qiongjin is a city that never sleeps. Compared with previous years, it has changed significantly. Because it is an old city, it is difficult for the government to make in-depth plans for it. However, after Song Wendi took office, he attached great importance to the appearance of the old city. In addition to greening the city, he also carried out various activities to promote civilization and pay attention to hygiene, and spent money to install neon lights and outline lights on the buildings on both sides of the street. Therefore, walking on the streets of Qiongjin, the lights are bright and people don’t feel lonely at all.
Of course, Song Wendi's decision was also controversial, especially some people in the provincial party committee believed that after spending so much effort, they ultimately did nothing more than package the city's skin, without digging deep into the core interests.
Who dares to touch the foundation of this thousand-year-old city? Or who is willing to touch the historical traces that contain cultural deposits
Therefore, in Fang Zhicheng's opinion, Song Wendi's approach of only touching the surface and not the essence is the most correct approach. Although it is conservative, it is very effective.
Song Wendi never made a big move in the ancient city center of Qiongjin, but only carried out economic construction around the periphery, which was recognized by many scholars and called it a harmonious move for modern cities and ancient culture to coexist. In recent years, many historical cities have also begun to follow Qiongjin's approach and make efforts to preserve the city's historical heritage.
Because he had been drinking, Fang Zhicheng hailed a taxi to take Sui Qi to the hotel. Sitting in the car, Sui Qi, who had changed her usual mature and steady image, pointed at the flashing neon lights outside and asked from time to time: "Where is this?"
Fang Zhicheng was quite patient and told her from time to time which road this was and what interesting stories had happened here. For example, when the leader on his southern tour made a secret visit to Qiongjin, he passed by a certain dumpling restaurant. Decades later, this small shop, which was originally only a dozen square meters, has now developed into a nationwide chain store specializing in dumplings.
When Fang Zhicheng arrived at the hotel where Sui Qi was staying, he found that the location was quite remote and the conditions were not as good as he had imagined. Although the financial situation of Caoyao City was not good, Sui Qi was a deputy department-level cadre after all, and it was a bit incredible that he chose to stay in a small hotel the size of a guesthouse.
Thinking carefully, this small hotel should be the background of Caoyao City. Qiongjin is the capital of Huainan. In order to get the latest news from the province, the prefecture-level cities have also set up multiple points in the provincial capital, on the one hand to receive local officials, and on the other hand to diversify operations.
However, this hotel in Caoyao City and the investment of the Hanzhou local government in Qiongjin must be a bit too shabby. Not only does it not have an elevator, but the door lock is also the old-fashioned one that can be broken with a little force, so it seems unsafe. Walking past the front desk, you can also find that it is not very popular.
The room was clean. Fang Zhicheng helped Sui Qi into the room, let her lie on the bed, and then boiled a pot of water for her. As soon as he plugged in the electric kettle, Fang Zhicheng saw a figure flashing behind him and ran into the bathroom. Soon, he heard a tooth-grinding vomiting sound.
"Are you okay?" Fang Zhicheng walked to the bathroom door, which was ajar.
Sui Qi said vaguely: "I'm fine! You can go back." After that, he vomited again.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and waited until there was no movement inside before he walked in. He straightened Sui Qi who was lying on the basin, dipped a towel in water, wiped her face thoroughly, and helped her back to the bed.
Sui Qi became much calmer because she didn't feel so bad in her stomach. Fang Zhicheng cleaned the bathroom briefly, and then boiled the kettle. He poured a glass of water for Sui Qi and placed it on the bedside table. Seeing her frowning, he couldn't help but sigh and kissed her forehead.
He felt a warm sensation coming from his smooth and full forehead. Seeing that it was not particularly hot, Fang Zhicheng felt relieved. He then found the air conditioner remote control, turned the temperature up very high, and then prepared to leave.
When the door was gently closed, Sui Qi, who was originally asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, exhaled slowly, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, with a helpless and lost expression, "It seems that he is really not interested in me."
The alcohol interrupted her brief sobriety, and she soon fell into a deep dream again. Sui Qi knew that she had lost control of herself by taking the initiative to ask Fang Zhicheng out today. This was related to her state of mind. Although the officials in Caoyao City were very caring towards her, Sui Qi still felt a sense of loneliness.
Grassroots work is not easy. Although everyone welcomes you with a smile, they are one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. If it weren't for the fact that she attracted so much special education guidance funds for Cao Yao, I'm afraid no one would care about her as the deputy mayor in charge of education.
The municipal party secretary often talked to Sui Qi, seemingly caring about her growth, but more importantly, he was squeezing out her own value. Sui Qi did not plan his behavior at first, and actively cooperated with Cao Yao's work arrangements, but over time she found that her colleagues around her became greedy.
To make an inappropriate analogy, I am like Tang Monk's flesh, and everyone wants to take a bite of me.
Tonight Fang Zhicheng kept telling Sui Qi that in official circles one must not only be a good boy, but also be able to lose temper at appropriate times, because that will make one's presence more felt.
Sui Qi thought about it carefully, and Fang Zhicheng's words made sense. Now she was too obedient and submissive in Caoyao, so everyone thought she was easy to bully. Not only the municipal party secretary and the mayor, but even the deputy mayor often joked with Sui Qi. Sui Qi was a very generous person, but occasionally she heard something else in this little joke.
Psychologically, these cadres of the same level did not take Sui Qi seriously. The grassroots training not only trained his own abilities, but more importantly, it helped him think and settle down on the way of being an official. Sui Qi is now in a very delicate state. His body cannot move and has fallen into a deep sleep, but his brain is working at a high level, analyzing his next development direction in Cao Yao.
At some point, the phone rang. Sui Qi reached out and touched the phone. A man's voice came from the phone, "Sui Qi? This is Wang Guoyue."
Sui Qi forced herself to sit up from the bed and said, "It's very late. Why are you calling? What's the matter?"
Wang Guoyue listened to Sui Qi's hoarse voice, smiled helplessly, and said, "Have you been drinking?"
Sui Qi hummed and said, "I met a friend yesterday, so I had a few more drinks with him."
Wang Guoyue paused and said, "When you are alone outside, you must be extremely careful."
Sui Qi sighed: "I will take good care of myself."
Wang Guoyue and Sui Qi have a special relationship. They are like friends and lovers. If Sui Qi had not been single, they would probably be married now. Wang Guoyue did not insist and chose to let go, because officials always follow the principle of getting married first and then starting a career, and a stable family is necessary. After Wang Guoyue got married, he and Sui Qi also called each other brother and sister.
Wang Guoyue was silent for a while, then said, "My position has been decided. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be in Huaibei to take up my post after the new year."
Sui Qi nodded and said, "Going to Hecheng?"
Wang Guoyue shook his head and sighed: "I will go to Tonghe to serve as the acting municipal party secretary, and then I will stay in Huaibei for a long time."
Sui Qi rubbed his temple and said with a smile: "Then I should really congratulate you."
Wang Guoyue sighed and said, "Things are not as easy as imagined. Tonghe is a place where miracles happened in the past five years. Working there is not an easy thing."
Sui Qi had heard about the five-year miracle in Tonghe. The young leader of the Tang family had created countless achievements there. Anyone who went to Tonghe would be overshadowed by his brilliance. Huaibei was also the strategic hinterland of the Tang family. The northern faction arranged for Wang Guoyue to go to Huaibei, hoping to hone Wang Guoyue's skills and also trying to shake the foundation of the Tang family.
Although it is an established fact that the Tang family will be the next to aspire to the throne, the northern faction is already planning for the next decade.
Wang Guoyue is the most powerful young cadre of the northern faction. Placing him in Huaibei is a strategic layout, just like the exchange of hostages in the Warring States Period. It is also a disguised way of seeking space for common growth and development.
Sui Qi knew that Wang Guoyue's call was not that simple, so he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Wang Guoyue paused and said, "I am going to Tonghe alone. I hope someone can help me. You are someone I trust very much. If you can go to Tonghe with me, I believe that we can create a whole new world together."
Wang Guoyue is one of the most powerful figures among the younger generation. Putting aside the past, it is a great honor for someone who wants to make progress in his career to be invited by Wang Guoyue. Wang Guoyue's words put Sui Qi in the perspective of an ally. If it were someone else, they would probably accept it without hesitation.
Sui Qi shook his head and said, "I'm doing well here in Caoyao. I have my own career plan, so I can't go to Tonghe with you. You are the most capable cadre I have ever met. Although you will face various difficulties in Tonghe, I believe that you will find a way to open up the situation."
