After all, Cao Yao was too unfamiliar, and he had just arrived and suffered a lot of grievances. After Wang Guoyue arrived, Sui Qi's situation improved a lot, and he also helped him vent a lot of anger. No deputy mayor of the same level dared to order him around anymore. Moreover, he successfully reached the position of executive deputy mayor.
Between Wang Guoyue and Fang Zhicheng, who should I choose
From the perspective of career development, Sui Qi should trust Wang Guoyue, because Wang Guoyue is not only the top leader of Caoyao City, but also one of the young cadres most valued by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. If he can get along well with her, he will surely be able to move up in the future.
But from an emotional perspective, Sui Qi was disappointed with Wang Guoyue because he was a man whose inner thoughts were hard to understand. He was always said to be a modest gentleman, but Sui Qi found it difficult to understand Wang Guoyue's heart. He always said he loved her, but when she rejected his request, he decisively married her.
Although Sui Qi could not be said to love Wang Guoyue, this feeling of loss still made her hesitant towards Wang Guoyue.
As for Fang Zhicheng, although he helped him to pass the test, Sui Qi was still a little worried about Fang Zhicheng's strength. Because Wang Guoyue was too powerful and had been rooted in Cao Yao for two years, how could he find an opportunity to show his talents under Wang Guoyue's strict supervision
After taking a shower, she washed a few more clothes and hung them on the balcony. Sui Qi looked at the dim light from the balcony next door, sighed softly, and then turned back into the house. Not long after, there was a noise from the balcony. Sui Qi hurried back to the balcony and whispered, "It's late, can you keep your voice down?"
Fang Zhicheng put his index finger to his lips and hushed, then said with a smile: "I forgot one thing. Didn't we agree to pack half of the food each? Why did you take it all?"
"So that's what it is! You're really fussy." Sui Qi rolled her eyes coquettishly, "Open the door later, I'll bring it to you!"
"No need!" Fang Zhicheng handed over a clothes-drying pole with a smile, "Just tie the plastic bag on it and bring it over."
The distance between the balconies was about 1.5 meters, and the clothes drying pole was long enough. Sui Qi thought to himself that this was a solution, and said with a gruff smile, "Okay, wait a minute."
After a moment, Sui Qi followed Fang Zhicheng's method and handed over the takeaway box. "Think about it carefully. If what we did today gets to outside ears, I'm afraid they will laugh their heads off."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "If this gets out, it will be a good story."
"Go to hell!" Sui Qi giggled, her mood relaxed, and she walked straight into the house from the balcony.
Fang Zhicheng looked at the packed boxes on the clothesline, his eyes suddenly flashed with depth, and he muttered a few words, but no one knew what he was saying.
…
Around 3 pm on the second day, Sui Qi received a call and came to the municipal party secretary's office. After Sui Qi entered, Wang Guoyue's eyes were filled with tenderness and warmth, and he whispered, "Please sit down!"
This was the first time Sui Qi had a private conversation with Wang Guoyue since he became the executive vice mayor. Wang Guoyue often liked to communicate with officials, so this was not unusual.
Wang Guoyue personally made a cup of tea, handed it to Sui Qi, and asked, "The burden on you has become heavier. How do you feel? If you need help, just let me know!"
Sui Qi put the teacup aside, sat upright and said, "Please rest assured, Secretary Wang, I will definitely adapt to the new job as soon as possible."
Wang Guoyue smiled faintly, and suddenly sighed, "Some bad things have reached my ears recently, I'm afraid you need to pay attention to it."
Sui Qi paused, and suddenly remembered what Fang Zhicheng reminded him yesterday. He smiled bitterly and said, "Please tell me clearly, Secretary Wang!"
Wang Guoyue stood up, his face became solemn, and took out a brown paper bag from the drawer, and then placed it in front of Sui Qi. Sui Qi unwound the thread ball at the seal, shook it, and a few photos of her dinner with Fang Zhicheng at Caocheng Hotel last night fell sporadically on the coffee table.
Wang Guoyue said calmly: "Sui Qi, I know you very well. You are a very simple person. But you must be careful about people's unpredictable minds and the public opinion of the outside world. Originally, I strongly disapproved of you living with Fang Zhicheng, but because of the shortage of quotas at the Guest House, this is the only way to do it for the time being. However, I remind you that he is a married man, and you are single. If you are always in close contact, it will be bad for your reputation!"
After hearing Wang Guoyue's words, Sui Qi was not as excited as she had imagined, because Fang Zhicheng had given her a shot of prevention yesterday. Instead, she laughed out loud and said, "Secretary Wang, I originally thought that you called me here today to discuss official business. I didn't expect that you, a modest gentleman, would actually make up stories and listen to these rumors. Fang Zhicheng and I are old classmates and have a good relationship at the Party School. If I have to give up such a friend because of someone else's malicious slander, then I, Sui Qi, would be too ruthless."
Chapter 0930: Traps Everywhere
Wang Guoyue was still as gentle as jade. He listened to Sui Qi's story patiently, sighed softly, and said, "Sui Qi, have you ever heard a saying? Worrying leads to confusion. I know you very well and know that you won't give others something to talk about in matters between men and women, but I still can't help but want to remind you. This may be because... I have feelings for you!"
Wang Guoyue is a handsome man with elegant demeanor and delicate appearance. He is a typical handsome man. Any woman would feel nervous and shaken when he expresses his love to her.
Sui Qi shook his head and sighed, "Guo Yue, I told you not to mention the past anymore. Let it go with the wind. From now on, we are colleagues, you are the boss and I am the subordinate. The topic of discussion should still focus on work, don't deviate from the direction. As for my private life, you don't need to mind it. Zhicheng is a very good cadre. In him, I see the same genes as you. You are both capable of doing great things and have strategies. If you work together, you will definitely be able to accomplish many great things that are beneficial to Cao Yao."
Wang Guoyue stood up, his face showing a serious expression. Wang Guoyue rarely showed such seriousness in front of outsiders. He always gave people a sense of security and made people feel immersed in the spring breeze. Sui Qi was surprised, and at the same time realized that Fang Zhicheng and Wang Guoyue were not the kind of people who got along well.
"You are very clear about Cao Yao's current situation. Qu Kang is in charge of the municipal government, and Chang Mengyuan is lurking in the dark, which can't make people worry at all." Wang Guoyue said helplessly. Chang Mengyuan is the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the third person. The reason why Qu Kang can occupy a greater advantage is because he has Chang Mengyuan secretly getting along with him in party affairs.
Chang Mengyuan has an age advantage over Qu Kang. He comes from the Communist Youth League system and ranks very high on the cadre list of the Organization Department of the Huainan Provincial Party Committee. If nothing unexpected happens, after Qu Kang leaves office, Chang Mengyuan will be able to take a step further and serve as the mayor of Caoyao.
In the eyes of Cao Yao local officials, Qu Kang is the core, Chang Mengyuan is the successor, and Wang Guoyue is just an airborne soldier who regards his current position as a whetstone. When the blade is sharp, he will have to leave Cao Yao. Therefore, the world of Cao Yao is still Qu Kang and Chang Mengyuan.
Sui Qi also stood up and walked a few steps towards Wang Guoyue, saying, "It is precisely because the environment is complicated that you can use Fang Zhicheng to balance it out."
Wang Guoyue raised a helpless smile and said, "I have considered your suggestion. But it is difficult for me to fulfill my wish with Qu Kang. Take Fang Zhicheng's division of labor as an example. I originally wanted him to be in charge of the Development and Reform Commission, but I didn't expect Qu Kang to assist in the management of the Development and Reform Commission and give him other positions. This is actually dispersing and diluting his power in disguise. This is all I can do. He still has to fight for many things himself. Of course, as you said, Fang Zhicheng is not an easy person to mess with. With Qu Kang's ability, I am afraid he can't be suppressed."
Sui Qi felt relieved when she heard Wang Guoyue's high praise. She also realized that Wang Guoyue did not intend to make things difficult for Fang Zhicheng. The biggest problem Fang Zhicheng faced now was still Qu Kang.
After Sui Qi left the office, Wang Guoyue frowned and called Guan Ruofei.
Guan Ruofei was convening an internal meeting of the Organization Department to discuss the recent training courses for department-level and above personnel in the city. When he saw that it was Wang Guoyue's call, he asked Executive Vice Minister Bian Wenyu to temporarily preside over the meeting.
"Ruofei, can the room where Fang Zhicheng lives be adjusted?" Wang Guoyue said in a calm tone.
Guan Ruofei was surprised and asked, "Master Yue, didn't you say before that you wanted to deliberately use this trick to stir up public opinion, so that the two of them would avoid suspicion and thus alienate their alliance?"
Wang Guoyue was silent for a moment. He was indeed a little shaken on this matter. After a long while, he said, "Forget it. Let's arrange it this way for the time being. By the way, is there any movement from Qu Kang and Chang Mengyuan?"
Guan Ruofei whispered, "Yesterday I received a notice that the list of department-level training classes that I had submitted earlier was stuck with Secretary Chang."
Wang Guoyue asked in confusion: "Didn't they reach a consensus at the secretary's meeting?"
Guan Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "He didn't say he was against it, he just refused to sign for other reasons. Yesterday he led a team to Huaibei Province for research, and it will probably take another ten days or half a month for him to come back."
Wang Guoyue was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Since he doesn't respect the result of the secretary's meeting, then there is no need for me to respect him."
