Fang Zhicheng let Sui Qi in and sighed, "It's time to wipe my ass again."
Sui Qi said, "The news has just spread online, detailing the cause and effect. I'm afraid it will appear in newspapers across the country tomorrow. It seems that it will not be very effective for the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to intervene and resolve the issue."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Are you worried that you will bring pressure to me?"
Sui Qi sighed and said, "Although the problem has been solved, the solution is a bit unconventional. It is a fact that Caoyao Heavy Industry Group illegally appropriated the pensions of retired employees. This is a big obstacle for Caoyao Heavy Industry Group to prepare for transformation."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Public opinion is a double-edged sword. If the news is not properly guided, it will inevitably have a negative impact. But what if we let it speak for us?"
Sui Qi's eyes sparkled with surprise, and she asked in confusion, "Did you release the news on purpose?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "What else? With Wang Guoyue's ability, how could he not be able to control the news from leaking out?"
Sui Qi said with emotion: "I have to admire your courage!"
Everyone else hoped to cover up the truth, but Fang Zhicheng did the opposite. He deliberately spread the news and then used guidance to make the people look at the matter from a positive perspective.
Sui Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what you are thinking! Everything is in your plan. It seems that I have been worrying in vain again."
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "Why do you always worry about me? You make me seem childish."
"Many times I thought you were childish, but after discovering the truth, I felt that I was the childish one!" Sui Qi fell silent.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Forget it. Just think of it as me having drunk too much today. Please forgive me for any offense."
Sui Qi didn't mean to leave immediately, and said, "I talked to my dad on the phone yesterday, and he asked about you and me."
Fang Zhicheng showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked doubtfully: "What could possibly happen between you and me?"
Sui Qi glared at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Have you never heard of those rumors?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Since it's just a rumor, why take it seriously?"
Sui Qi felt very wronged when she heard Fang Zhicheng say that. The emotions that had been hidden in her heart for a long time suddenly burst out, and tears overflowed from her eyes. Fang Zhicheng was a little stunned, and quickly took out a tissue from the table and handed it to her, smiling bitterly: "It's like I did something against the will of heaven!"
Sui Qijia gradually stopped sobbing and asked seriously: "Fang Zhicheng, you and I have known each other for so many years, don't you have any feelings for me? Are all your help and care for me false? I admit that I like you. So when my dad asked, I told him directly how I felt. Am I particularly stupid, a bachelor, but I like a married man? And this married man thinks I am a joke!"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and hugged Sui Qi, whose shoulders were shaking. His heart was full of pity. People are all made of flesh and blood, and it is impossible for him not to have good feelings for Sui Qi, but for many reasons, he had to control himself.
Fang Zhicheng let go of Sui Qi and said patiently: "Sui Qi, it's not that I don't like you, but I can't like you, because the Su family and the Sui family had an irreconcilable hatred in the previous life. I'm afraid your father will also advise you to stay away from me. This is the right thing to do, because I'm afraid of hurting you!"

Sui Qi took two steps back, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes. She looked at Fang Zhicheng in surprise and said, "Hatred? What hatred?"
Fang Zhicheng spread out his hands, let out a long breath, and said, "You know I have an uncle, right?"
Sui Qi nodded and said, "I know. He was an outstanding cadre with great prospects at that time."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "His death is related to the Sui family!"
Sui Qi showed a look of disbelief and questioned: "Absolutely impossible! I don't believe it."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, “If my uncle hadn’t gotten into trouble, then the person sitting in that position now wouldn’t be your father.”
Sui Qi took two steps back. She knew that Fang Zhicheng had no need to talk nonsense. After coming to Cao Yao and experiencing the intrigues with her own eyes, she already knew the complexity and darkness of the officialdom.
Sui Qi smiled bitterly and said, "After all, that is a grudge from the previous life. What does it have to do with you and me?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled helplessly and said, "Don't be naive. When my third uncle knew that you and I met at the Party School, he hinted to me that he wanted to use you to take revenge on the Sui family, but I refused. I don't know if I can always stay so rational."
Sui Qi sighed. She had mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to Fang Zhicheng today. Sui Qi was a proud woman, even a little conceited in the eyes of many people. She was born in the Sui family and was a proud daughter of heaven. She was never short of excellent suitors around her, but she always looked down on them.
Fang Zhicheng said: "Let's be realistic. Let's just maintain a normal relationship."
Sui Qi left the room in a depressed mood, and Fang Zhicheng looked at the dim lights outside the balcony for a long time.
…
Wen Jinglong's call seemed to be Wang Guoyue's request for help, but in fact it was also asking Fang Zhicheng not to provoke war again. Cao Yao now needs a stable and peaceful environment.
The pension problem of Caoyao Heavy Industry Group was reported by many media outlets across the country. What people talked about most was that the city government generously spent 50 million yuan that day. The good thing turned into a bad thing, and the image of the Caoyao City government became one of courage to take responsibility. A commentator from the central media Youth Weekly said that with a group of new cadres entering the local government, the efficiency of doing things has become vigorous and resolute. They do not shirk responsibility when encountering problems and are willing to bear various pressures. This is a new trend in the officialdom.
Although this commentary simply mentioned a sentence Fang Zhicheng said on the scene that day, "As a qualified civil servant, you must solve the problem on the same day," the entire commentary seemed to be tailor-made for Fang Zhicheng.
Of course, Youth Weekly has always had a clear tendency and is an important propaganda channel controlled by the Tang faction. Many important tendentious public opinions are first released by Youth Weekly.
With the development of the Internet, the media landscape is also quietly changing. A large number of media have begun to transform, and paper media have been replaced by electronic media. Electronic newspapers spread faster, have richer information, and are more timely, so they have become an important development direction for major media.
So when this commentary came out, it was quickly transferred to Fang Zhicheng's mobile phone. Fang Zhicheng read it two or three times, thinking that the commentator's language was sophisticated and sharp, which was admirable.
Although the early planning of the old city encountered some minor setbacks, the city government's promotion ensured that the problems were solved. So on the surface, Caoyao has entered a stage of stable development.
The demolition work in the old city was completed as planned. Although there were more or less disputes, the situation was effectively controlled because the municipal government intervened. Fang Zhicheng has recently focused a lot of energy on the demolition work in the old city and has achieved results. Because of Fang Zhicheng's attention, the people below are also working hard to promote it.
After the demolition work was completed, the next step was to attract investment. Cai Xingpei's efforts were not in vain, and he got the two best locations as he wished. Of course, in terms of the process, Cai Xingpei, like other investors, needed to go through the formalities, but Cai Xingpei's company could get some preferential treatment, which was enough to make them stand out.
At the Standing Committee meeting, after Fang Zhicheng reported the progress of the old city project one by one, Wang Guoyue nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This matter is going more smoothly than expected. It seems that it was right to let Comrade Zhicheng take on this responsibility. However, although the initial framework has been successfully set up, the following tasks are still arduous. The old city renovation project is located in the heart of the city. The earlier the completion of the project, the less trouble the citizens will have. Therefore, Comrade Zhicheng needs to make persistent efforts to continue to increase the promotion of the project to ensure that the project can be completed in time or even ahead of schedule."
