Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly and whispered, "Secretary Song has actually decided to write his own personal performance report, and this material is just for reference."

Wang Ke looked surprised. After all, he had worked in the Municipal Party Committee Secretariat for so many years, but this was the first time he heard that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary wrote his own performance report. Wang Ke suddenly realized and sighed, "No wonder you are so anxious. If we provide the first draft late, it will delay Secretary Song's progress in writing the report."

"You're very busy at work recently as it's the end of the year. When you have some free time, remember the dinner we promised you." Fang Zhicheng patted Wang Ke on the shoulder and walked out of the secretary's office with a smile.

Cultivating a good relationship with Wang Ke helped Fang Zhicheng gain a foothold in the Municipal Party Committee Office. With the support of the Secretariat, he had the initial capital to compete with Ding Nengren.

The secretary of the municipal party secretary is a very critical position for the municipal party secretary. In name, the secretary of the municipal party secretary is affiliated with the municipal party committee office and is under the jurisdiction of the municipal party secretary, but the only leader of the secretary of the municipal party secretary is actually the municipal party secretary, which has formed an awkward deadlock.

The relationship with Ding Nengren could not be reconciled, so Fang Zhicheng completely tore off the fig leaf between him and Ding Nengren. When they met at ordinary times, Fang Zhicheng might say "Hello, Secretary-General", but behind the scenes, Fang Zhicheng often pretended to obey Ding Nengren but actually disobeyed him.

This is how the officialdom is. Sometimes you have to know that "when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head", but sometimes you also have to remember the principle that "if others do not offend me, I will not offend others, but if others offend me, I will definitely offend them."

If you are not strong enough, you will be bullied by others.

As the top secretary of the municipal party committee, Fang Zhicheng had strong capital after gaining a firm foothold. Moreover, the competition between him and Ding Nengren was carried out in secret, and only Ding Nengren knew the taste of it. Fang Zhicheng managed to "not make a fuss, nor be cowardly", which made Ding Nengren quite helpless.

Although the game between the two is hidden in the smoke of war, anyone with a little insight in the Municipal Party Committee Office knows that it is now divided into two factions. Ding Nengren has worked in the Municipal Party Committee Office for many years and his strength is deeply rooted, but the newcomer Fang Zhicheng is rising in popularity very quickly. Fang Zhicheng can often be seen active in various offices, trying to win over forces.

Fang Zhicheng handed the first draft of the performance report compiled by the Secretary's Office to Song Wendi. Song Wendi flipped through it and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Wang Ke is indeed the best writer in Yinzhou. It is very difficult to write such a document in half a day. It is really not easy."

Fang Zhicheng took the opportunity to say something nice for Wang Ke, and chuckled, "Director Wang has changed a lot recently. In addition to his brilliant writing skills, his management skills have also improved. Now the First Secretary's Office is well organized, and is obviously a level higher than other offices."

Song Wendi glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said casually, "After Comrade Neng Ren became the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, his workload increased. Although he has always worked hard, there are times when he is unable to do his job. I have also thought about finding someone to help him share the pressure. Wang Ke still has great potential. I will notify the organization department to inspect him in the near future."

Ding Nengren was promoted from the position of director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. During this period of time, he served as the Municipal Party Committee Secretary-General and concurrently served as the management of the Municipal Party Committee Office. The positions of Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office have been vacant. Song Wendi naturally wanted to place someone he trusted in this key position. Wang Ke was a good candidate, but Wang Ke had just been promoted from the level of a section chief to the level of a deputy director not long ago, so Song Wendi could not promote him again, so he kept the position and delayed it for about half a year. When the focus on Wang Ke gradually faded, Song Wendi proposed to promote Wang Ke again, and there were no more gossips.

According to his age and qualifications, Wang Ke actually already had the qualities to be the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, but the opportunities he had before were not good enough, so he worked in obscurity in a miserable clerical position for many years. When his luck turned, Wang Ke's future suddenly became bright. This is what is called the impermanence of life and the unpredictability of things.

Of course, the key to Wang Ke's promotion lies in Fang Zhicheng.

In the Yinzhou officialdom, Fang Zhicheng is the person Song Wendi trusts the most, because Fang Zhicheng was originally a blank slate. After becoming his secretary, he has been doing his best to help Song Wendi deal with various problems and overcome many dangerous difficulties.

Fang Zhicheng indeed played the role of a "lucky general". In the work of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery, Yuhu Ecological Zone, and anti-trafficking incidents, Fang Zhicheng used his wisdom and strength to cleverly help Song Wendi resolve problems.

From a certain perspective, Song Wendi's trust in Fang Zhicheng even exceeds his trust in Qiu Hengde.

The reason why Qiu Hengde stood behind Song Wendi was certainly based on their previous friendship in the Party School, but Qiu Hengde had his own political demands and ambitions, which led to the fact that Song Wendi might trust Qiu Hengde on the surface, but was still wary of Qiu Hengde deep down.

There is no need for Song Wendi to be afraid of Fang Zhicheng, because his own career path directly affects Fang Zhicheng's future, so the two have the same political demands and ambitions. Therefore, Song Wendi trusts Fang Zhicheng and will listen to Fang Zhicheng's opinions.

Moreover, after spending more than half a year together, Song Wendi saw some valuable qualities in Fang Zhicheng, and they had formed an indescribable tacit understanding between them, similar to the tacit understanding between a master and a disciple.

Fang Zhicheng trusts Wang Ke very much, so Song Wendi is also willing to trust Wang Ke and train Wang Ke as his own direct descendant. This is Song Wendi's logic.

Seeing Song Wendi busy writing his performance report, Fang Zhicheng made him a large cup of tea and put some cassia seeds in the tea leaves. Song Wendi took a sip and felt that the taste was not right. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Xiaoyan said that your blood pressure has been a little high recently, so I put cassia seeds in the tea leaves to reduce blood lipids and clear heat."

Song Wendi nodded and continued to write. When Fang Zhicheng was about to leave, he suddenly called him and said softly, "Xiao Fang, although you have good work ability, you still need to improve your theoretical knowledge. You must be prepared to attend the Youth Cadre Class of the Municipal Party School next year."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and said with a smile, "Do I have to participate?"

Song Wendi put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile: "Why? Are you still not happy?"

The Young Cadre Class is an important form of training for young reserve cadres by the Municipal Party Committee. Those who can enter the Young Cadre Class will undoubtedly have a bright future. Many people are trying their best to get in, but because the number of places in the Young Cadre Class is strictly limited, it is difficult to get a place without sufficient background and strength.

Seeing that Fang Zhicheng did not cherish the opportunity, Song Wendi was a little unhappy, but he knew that Fang Zhicheng must have other ideas, so he wanted to hear Fang Zhicheng's ideas.

Fang Zhicheng thought for a long time and said softly, "Boss, if I go to the Youth Cadre Training Class, it will definitely affect my normal work, which is not good."

Song Wendi waved his hand and smiled faintly: "I have already told the Municipal Party Committee Office that I will be assigned another secretary next year. Your work will be relatively easier then."

Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised and found it hard to accept. Having one more secretary in his office meant having one more competitor, didn't it

Song Wendi saw Fang Zhicheng's thoughts and explained softly: "Xiao Fang, you are a talented person and should have a longer-term vision. The secretary of the municipal party committee may seem enviable, but after all, he is just the shadow of the municipal party committee. One day you will step out of the municipal party committee and become a person who can stand on your own."

Fang Zhicheng's originally furrowed brows relaxed as he realized Song Wendi's good intentions. Song Wendi wanted to focus on accompanying him and provide him with a bigger platform.

Chapter 0081 The Ye family has a rebellious daughter

There are circles in every world, and the people in each core circle are different. Fang Zhicheng began to weave a circle with himself as the core. The current members of the circle include Wang Ke, Xu Peng, Zhong Yang, and Zhu Youming. Although these people are just starting out, Fang Zhicheng can see their future potential.

When the time is right, if you use these human resources skillfully, you can accomplish something earth-shaking. Before that, you have to maintain it carefully and operate it slowly.

After walking out of the inner room, Fang Zhicheng sent a suggestive text message to Wang Ke, and Wang Ke quickly replied with a text message. From the text message, it seemed that Wang Ke understood his reminder and was in a very happy mood.

Wang Ke had been silent for many years, but exploded within a year. His joy was self-evident.

After get off work, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Zhong Yang, asking if he was free in the evening. Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile, what's up? Are you planning to have dinner again? Zhong Yang smiled proudly and said, let me introduce someone to you. Fang Zhicheng asked in confusion, girlfriend? Zhong Yang smiled and said, see you at the same place in the evening!

The old place that Zhong Yang mentioned is a small restaurant called "Left Bank Right Turn". The restaurant is not very big, only more than ten square meters, but the business is very hot because the marketing method of the small restaurant is very special. Guests who eat here can order the same dish, and the price of the dish is exactly the same, no matter it is meat or vegetable, it is five yuan.

According to common sense, if the restaurant continues to develop in the long run, it will definitely make losses, but the restaurant's business is getting better and better, and its reputation is getting more and more famous. The reason is that the restaurant's service desk has a "life turning box". Although the boss does not deliberately remind customers, after paying the bill, customers will consciously put some money in the box to subsidize the difference.

When the restaurant first opened, it had difficulty in cash flow and almost closed down. However, one customer saw that the boss was planning to close the restaurant and stuffed several thousand yuan into the "Life Turning Box". Then others followed suit and paid into the "Life Turning Box" according to the price of the dishes. The restaurant finally survived. The customer who stuffed several thousand yuan into the "Life Turning Box" was Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang is tall and sits by the window. Next to him sits a long-haired woman, who lowers her head shyly and chats with Zhong Yang in a casual manner. It can be vaguely seen that the two have an ambiguous relationship.

Fang Zhicheng walked over, sat on a chair, propped up his chin and looked at the woman carefully, wondering: "Old Zhong, your girlfriend, why does she look so familiar to me?"
