Du Xi discussed this matter with Xie Yuxin, but was rejected by Xie Yuxin. Although Xie Yuxin's ideas and concepts are very avant-garde, she is even more afraid of the spotlight. Once Lele becomes a child star, she will always be under public opinion, with scandals, rumors, and slander coming one after another. Can she withstand such pressure
Fang Zhicheng's first reaction was to protect Lele, but after thinking it over carefully, he finally decided to persuade Xie Yuxin, because first of all, this was something Lele herself wanted to do; secondly, life is about experience, although Lele is still very young, it is not a bad thing to let her have enough contact with the complex world; thirdly, girls all have dreams of becoming stars, since there is an opportunity to realize her dream, why not help Lele realize it; finally, Fang Zhicheng believes that he still has the ability to protect Lele and let her grow up in a relatively safe environment.
After chatting with Xie Yuxin for almost two hours, she finally agreed with Fang Zhicheng's point of view and sighed softly: "Well, maybe I should let go, but Lele's studies cannot fall behind."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I will ask Yuming to arrange the best teacher, and Lele will receive the best education when she attends the art training class."
Xie Yuxin paused and said, "What about the school?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "I will arrange for someone to contact the school and keep your student status."
Xie Yuxin finally smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."
Fang Zhicheng reached out and took Xie Yuxin's hand, saying, "Of course, I'm a man and you're a woman. For important matters, men should make the decision."
Xie Yuxin suddenly felt a little dazed. It was just as Fang Zhicheng said. Lele lived in a single-parent family and she had to make decisions on many things. This feeling was very tiring and a little bit unbearable for her. So when Fang Zhicheng advised her, she habitually pushed the responsibility onto Fang Zhicheng. To her no disappointment, Fang Zhicheng took over the responsibility and made a choice for her and Lele.
Xie Yuxin suddenly realized that she had already regarded Fang Zhicheng as the man of this family. She suddenly snorted and her eyes were full of tears. Fang Zhicheng was shocked when he saw it. He reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, wondering, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Yuxin's face flushed, and she said in an inaudible voice, "These are tears of happiness."
That night, Fang Zhicheng did not stay at Xie Yuxin's house overnight, but hailed a taxi to go home. Although he returned to Qiongjin very low-key, Fang Zhicheng knew that there were still many spies lurking around him.
After getting off the taxi, Fang Zhicheng waited for a moment, and a black jeep slowly stopped beside him. Fang Zhicheng walked over and knocked on the window. The window was rolled down, revealing Meng Hu's square and serious face.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I knew you were following me. When you saw me hailing a taxi, why didn't you just take me with you?"
Meng Hu shook his head and said, "This is a principle. I must hide in a hidden place because I can only stay calm enough from a third-person perspective."
Fang Zhicheng said helplessly: "Isn't this the same as trying to cover one's ears and steal a bell?"
It was no secret that Fang Zhicheng was closely protected by Meng Hu. Especially for a family like the Su family, which had experienced the murder of an heir before, they were extremely cautious. Because Su Gang was murdered, the Su family was devastated and the inheritance system was broken, which led to the Su family's dormant period of nearly 20 years. Therefore, the Su family's protection of Fang Zhicheng even exceeded that of Su Mo.
Not only Meng Hu, there are other forces lurking in the dark who protect Fang Zhicheng.
With the previous disturbances, Meng Hu's identity has been made public and clear, so there is no need for him to hide anymore, but Meng Hu still protects Fang Zhicheng in secret according to his previous habit.
Fang Zhicheng handed a cigarette to Meng Hu, who took it readily, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it for Fang Zhicheng first, and then lit it for himself. After spending so much time together, the relationship between Meng Hu and Fang Zhicheng is no longer so unfamiliar, but more like a close comrade-in-arms.
"What's the situation outside?" Fang Zhicheng asked, sitting in the passenger seat and blowing out a smoke ring.
Meng Hu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "There are at least four forces watching us."
Fang Zhicheng could only guess one or two things. Wang Guoyue must have arranged people around him. As for Cao Yao, there would also be forces lurking around him. As for the other two forces, he was not very clear.
Fang Zhicheng knew that since Meng Hu had already discovered the lurking target, there was no need to worry, so he joked, "I heard that you are planning to get married?"
When Meng Hu heard this, his facial expression changed significantly, and he said with a little embarrassment: "I have to thank General Ning for his work on this matter."
Fang Zhicheng asked Ning Qiangwei to introduce a girl to Meng Hu. Ning Qiangwei was straightforward and introduced her sister who joined the army with her. The sister had a similar personality to Ning Qiangwei. She was from a family of senior generals and was full of pride. Meng Hu was a rough man, but he could subdue the fierce horse, which made Fang Zhicheng look at him with new eyes.
Fang Zhicheng patted Meng Hu's shoulders twice and said, "You're so polite. I heard that the Cui family has asked you to move up to the management level. If you need to, you can leave at any time."
The Cui family is a general family, and they have high requirements for their son-in-law. Although Meng Hu is a well-known soldier in the country and his rank is not low, his job is dangerous and not stable enough. Therefore, the Cui family still hopes that Meng Hu can get the job done as soon as possible.
Meng Hu was silent for a long time, then said, "I have already discussed this with my adoptive father. I am planning to retire from the army and work with you!"
It was still very difficult for Meng Hu to take this step. After all, he had been in the army for a long time and had adapted to that environment. Moving into an unfamiliar field required adaptation and transition.
Fang Zhicheng laughed dumbly and said, "That's fine. If you are willing to go into politics, I will ensure that you will be promoted step by step."
He has already thought of arrangements for Meng Hu. He can start with the political and legal line and cultivate a loyal partner.
Chapter 0921 How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan
After a week of rest in Qiongjin, Fang Zhicheng spent most of his energy meeting and contacting his former colleagues. This is the so-called sharpening the knife before cutting wood. When he was assigned to Cao Yao, the power of Yanjing was too far away, so if he wanted to borrow strength, it would be most appropriate to call on resources from the province. Although he had Song Wendi as a backer, it was easier to use his own resources. Fang Zhicheng would not move Song Wendi unless it was the last critical moment.
Fang Zhicheng met with several people, including Gao Bo, secretary general of Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee, Chu Shiyuan, deputy director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and Zhang Tianling, secretary of Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee. Gao Bo, secretary general of Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee, is now one of Song Wendi's most trusted cadres. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have the opportunity to serve as executive vice mayor next year. It is a big breakthrough to move from secretary general to executive vice mayor. Song Wendi hopes to promote Gao Bo to confront the new mayor arranged by Wen Jinglong.
When one reaches a certain level in officialdom, it is like a chess player playing on a chessboard. If the opponent puts out a chess piece, if one wants to save the situation, one has to arrange a relatively more powerful chess piece.
Originally, Song Wendi wanted to promote Ye Mingyuan to be the mayor, but unfortunately, Ye Mingyuan was reported at a critical moment, saying that he used his position to seek personal gain for his family. The Ye family is a well-known prosperous family in Huainan. Although there is no actual evidence, Ye Mingyuan took a step back for the stability of his family's power and was about to take the third position, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.
The position of executive vice mayor vacant by Ye Mingyuan just happened to be left vacant. Now the second round of competition has begun. Gao Bo's hopes are slim, after all, he ranks last among the members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee.
But after meeting Fang Zhicheng, Gao Bo felt relieved. From Fang Zhicheng's few words, he could tell that he still strongly supported him as the executive vice mayor.
Besides Song Wendi, there was one person in the world who knew Song Wendi's thoughts better than Fang Zhicheng, who had worked as his secretary. Even if Song Wendi had not told him about the candidate for the executive vice mayor, if Fang Zhicheng supported him, Song Wendi's thoughts would not have deviated too much.
There are two reasons why Fang Zhicheng took the initiative to contact Gao Bo. First, when he and Zhao Ning encountered trouble in Qiongjin, Gao Bo stepped forward to help him solve it. Fang Zhicheng owed Gao Bo a favor, so he interpreted Song Wendi's thoughts to Gao Bo, which was also a way to repay the favor. Second, Gao Bo was a very charismatic person and would definitely have a bright future. Fang Zhicheng was also investing in the future by interacting with him. The executive vice mayor of a provincial capital city, if nothing unexpected happened, would be able to move forward within a few years and would be just one step away from the vice-ministerial level.
The main reason for meeting Chu Shiyuan was that the Development and Reform Commission was his old unit. If he really wanted to go to Cao Yao, he would have to start looking for resources from the Development and Reform Commission. Although he was also familiar with Shen Hanchun, the director of the Development and Reform Commission, Fang Zhicheng knew that Shen Hanchun probably hated him to death in his heart. Fang Zhicheng had backstabbed the governor Wei Qun, and Shen Hanchun was now the core force of the Wei faction. So it was more appropriate for him to choose to contact Chu Shiyuan.
Chu Shiyuan was as graceful as ever. The two of them had a simple meal in a private room in the provincial government cafeteria. During the meal, Chu Shiyuan briefly introduced the situation of the Development and Reform Commission team to Shen Hanchun.
Chu Shiyuan is also a very capable person. He has a high standard for people, but he also praises Shen Hanchun's work in the past two years. After Shen Hanchun took full charge of the Development and Reform Commission, he conducted a comprehensive review of the work and reorganized the strategic planning of the entire Development and Reform Commission. This was a huge project, but it was done with ease.
The action was too big and caused quite a stir, which was bound to cause controversy. Shen Hanchun's control over the NDRC was only average. If it weren't for Wei Qun's support, there would have been chaos. On the contrary, Chu Shiyuan was steady and his position in the NDRC was unbreakable.
