When Fang Zhicheng saw that the lights on the balcony next door were turned off, he suddenly felt empty and laughed at himself helplessly. The cold and beautiful Sui Qi had a unique flavor.
Caoyao City Guest House is divided into two parts. When Fang Zhicheng came to conduct research while working in the High-tech Industry Department, he stayed in the public area, which was not separated from ordinary guests. Although the service level was high, the staff was messy. After Fang Zhicheng came to Caoyao as a temporary cadre, the Organization Department arranged Fang Zhicheng in the administrative area.
The administrative district is mainly used to receive administrative guests and major city officials, including Wang Guoyue and Sui Qi. Of course, because of the different levels, the standards are also different. Wang Guoyue lives in an independent villa, close to Mayor Qu Kang, while Fang Zhicheng lives in a boutique apartment, a large suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms, close to Sui Qi's house. Generally speaking, deputy department-level officials and their families also have enough living space, and a family of three will not be crowded.
The guesthouse will arrange staff to clean the place every day, and the apartment has a kitchen with complete appliances, so you can choose to cook your own meals. If you find it troublesome, you can eat at the guesthouse's buffet every day, and the government will cover the cost.
Of course, those who are eligible to live in the administrative area of the Guest House must be at or above the deputy department level, and they must also be powerful cadres. For example, those cadres who only reach the deputy department level after retirement are not eligible to enjoy this treatment.
The next morning, Fang Zhicheng had just returned from jogging when he saw Sui Qi pushing the door open. Sui Qi was dressed formally, with her hair tied up high, wearing a black suit and skirt, black leather shoes, and simple light makeup on her face. Her skin was as white as jade, but her complexion was not very good.
Fang Zhicheng asked in confusion: "What's wrong? It's only six o'clock now, and you're so excited."
Sui Qi smiled helplessly and whispered, "Something big has happened. I just received news that eight female junior high school students went missing last night. Now the news has been reported by media outside the province. Reporters are already waiting at the school. At the same time, the parents of the eight female junior high school students have also gathered a group of people to block the school gate."
Fang Zhicheng's face showed a solemn expression, and he said, "Is there another story?"
Sui Qi nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is said that the eight female junior high school students were taken away by the school leaders..."
A special deal? That was Fang Zhicheng's first reaction.
Sui Qi said: "I have to rush to the scene now to control the situation."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Cao Yao is indeed a troubled place."
It was only the second day after arriving here that a serious mass incident occurred.
Sui Qi left in a hurry. Fang Zhicheng estimated that the Municipal Party Committee would soon organize an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis. Fang Zhicheng had a simple breakfast and then received a call from Chen Zhen, the Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee.
When we arrived at the conference room of Building No. 1 of the Municipal Party Committee, Wang Guoyue was already sitting in his seat with a normal expression on his face, but his fingers kept tapping on the table, showing that his emotions were not as calm as they seemed.
At 8:10, the other standing committee members arrived one after another. Wang Guoyue looked around and did not hear Mayor Qu Kang's voice. He asked, "Where is Mayor Qu?"
Chen Zhen walked up to Wang Guoyue and whispered something in his ear. Wang Guoyue trembled and said, "Mayor Qu has already gone to the school to deal with the problem. We won't wait for him. Let's start the deployment now. Let's speak freely and discuss how to deal with the problem of missing junior high school students in Caoyao No. 3 Middle School."
Mai Ziyong, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, said: "After receiving the news, the Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately deployed a large number of police forces to search for the whereabouts of the missing junior high school student, but there are relatively few clues, so it is estimated that it will take some time."
Wang Guoyue glanced at Mai Ziyong and instructed the Minister of Propaganda, Lv Jia, "Comrade Lv Jia, you have the most difficult task now. You must quickly prepare the press release and crisis public relations strategy. Pay attention to the wording of the text and avoid any problems that will lead to further intensification of the conflict."
Afterwards, he instructed the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Xu Jialan: "The discipline inspection department must intervene immediately to see if there are any problems with the school's main leaders. Give the public an explanation with fair and objective results."
Fang Zhicheng observed Wang Guoyue giving orders from the side and secretly admired that Wang Guoyue's way of handling problems was very clear and decisive. If it were him, he would have to deal with it in the same way for the time being.
"Does anyone have anything else to say?" Wang Guoyue had already arranged the work, and this sentence was actually just a polite remark to pave the way for the end of the meeting.
Wang Guoyue was about to say, if that's the case, then let's end it. But Fang Zhicheng pushed away the teacup and said lightly: "Secretary Guoyue, I have a few opinions."
Wang Guoyue glanced at Fang Zhicheng calmly and said, "Please speak if you have anything to say."
Fang Zhicheng said: "The case is probably not that simple. First, what happened last night, why did it cause such a big stir this morning, and reporters from outside the province also heard about it. Second, I just searched the Internet and found a lot of negative posts about Caoyao No. 3 Middle School. These posts were only posted three or four days ago. So I concluded that this is not a simple mass incident."
Wang Guoyue looked at Fang Zhicheng deeply and whispered, "That makes some sense."
The other members of the Standing Committee began to whisper to each other. Fang Zhicheng did not explain, but everyone was smart and knew that Fang Zhicheng was guessing that there was a force secretly pushing the situation to a very bad state.
Fang Zhicheng went on to say: "If I'm not mistaken, the ultimate target this time will be Mayor Sui, who is in charge of education. As everyone knows, the position of executive vice mayor is vacant, and Mayor Sui is an important candidate for this position. If there are major problems in the education system, then there is no doubt that they are trying to obstruct and influence the final results."
After Fang Zhicheng said this, the Standing Committee members began to discuss it. Everyone felt that Fang Zhicheng was a bit too radical. Even if you guessed the trick, there was no need to point it out directly at the meeting.
Wang Guoyue's expression couldn't help but change at this moment, and he glanced at Guan Ruofei. Guan Ruofei immediately understood and said in a deep voice: "Mayor Fang, your opinion is a bit too extreme, and there is no evidence to support it. It's all your own speculation. I think it's better not to be too dark."
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "I'm just trying to find the root cause."
Wang Guoyue waved his hand and said, "I think the Caoyao Municipal Party Committee is still very united. If you have no other opinions, let's adjourn the meeting."
Fang Zhicheng organized the documents in his hand and left the meeting room alone.
He knew what effect that short speech would have.
In the eyes of many people, I am afraid that Fang Zhicheng is a rash person who speaks without paying attention to the occasion. Even if you guess the mystery, you can't say it in public without scruples. Fang Zhicheng's behavior embarrassed many people, which is not good for his own foothold.
But in Wang Guoyue's opinion, Fang Zhicheng's move was not that simple. Could it be that he wanted to win over Sui Qi
Wang Guoyue knew that Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi were classmates at the Party School. Fang Zhicheng wanted to gain a foothold in Caoyao as soon as possible, and developing together with Sui Qi was undoubtedly a shortcut.
Wang Guoyue was very unhappy because Sui Qi was the assistant he had worked hard to train, so how could he let others get involved

Although he was unhappy, Wang Guoyue's expression was still warm, so anyone who wanted to read his inner thoughts from his facial expression would be in vain. Guan Ruofei followed Wang Guoyue into the office and reported: "There has been a conflict at the gate of the Third Middle School. Mayor Qu has mobilized the armed police to control the situation from getting worse."
Wang Guoyue snorted, slapped his palm on the desk, and said in a deep voice: "This Qu Kang is a little too ignorant of his limits. If things really get out of hand, he will be in big trouble."
Guan Ruofei rarely saw Wang Guoyue get so angry. Wang Guoyue, known as the gentleman, always remained calm in his impression, giving people a sense of calmness. But this time Qu Kang's behavior was indeed a bit excessive. Knowing that Wang Guoyue was going to promote Sui Qi to be the executive vice mayor, he deliberately ignited a fire. From a certain perspective, this was a hooligan act, which was despicable.
The education system in Caoyao has such a big problem. Sui Qi, the deputy mayor in charge of education, must bear the responsibility, but the mayor and the party secretary will probably also be affected. This is the legendary tactic of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own.
Guan Ruofei waited for Wang Guoyue to calm down gradually and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the matter will get bigger and bigger. Although the Propaganda Department has stepped in, it is difficult to control the momentum of public opinion. This time, all the reporters are from outside the province. The other party has seen that we will use propaganda resources, so they transferred media resources from Guanghai Province."
