Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Why didn't you invite him into the inner room and make some tea?"
Shao Qingbo waved his hand and said with a smile: "The master hasn't arrived yet, so I dare not enter the house."
Fang Zhicheng laughed and said, "My office is not a den of dragons and tigers, right?"
Coming to the inner room, Fang Zhicheng started to make tea. Shao Qingbo took out a cigarette box and prepared to smoke. After thinking for a while, he put it back in his pocket because he noticed that Fang Zhicheng's office was very clean. If he smoked, it would disrupt the elegant and quiet atmosphere. Fang Zhicheng noticed all this carefully and said, "If you feel like smoking, just smoke. It's okay."
Shao Qingbo waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "It will be fine for a while!" After that, he took the white porcelain cup, took a sip of the tea, and felt the fragrance filling his mouth. He immediately praised it a few times.
Fang Zhicheng looked at Shao Qingbo with a smile and said, "Have you found out the pension problem of Caoyao Heavy Industry Group a few days ago?"
Shao Qingbo nodded, thinking that Fang Zhicheng was very observant and had already guessed his purpose. He said, "The leader had already gone abroad that night. I checked his bank account and found a huge amount of money deposited into it."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "The matter has been resolved. There is no point in continuing to investigate. Since it is a conspiracy, I am afraid the mastermind has already erased all the evidence."
Shao Qingbo thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng was still very mature. If it were him, he would not be able to bear this anger and must find out who was behind the scenes. In fact, Shao Qingbo did not know that Fang Zhicheng actually knew who was stabbing him. With his power lurking in Cao Yao's dark place, his efficiency was far greater than that of the Shao family.
Shao Qingbo asked, "After the Standing Committee meeting today, Chang Mengyuan took the initiative to invite you to sit in his office?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "Boss Shao, you are meddling too much!"
Shao Qingbo smiled awkwardly and said, "I just want to remind you that Chang Mengyuan is a double-edged sword!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Isn't the Shao family a double-edged sword to me?"
Shao Qingbo was speechless. He found that he could not get any benefit from communicating with Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng was a very mature deputy department-level cadre with excellent qualities. He could not be judged by his age alone.
Shao Qingbo sighed and said, “Now the Shao family is tied to the Su family, so you can believe our sincerity.”
Fang Zhicheng laughed twice and said, "Mr. Shao, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously." After that, he poured another cup of tea for Shao Qingbo.
Compared with a few years ago, Fang Zhicheng can now send and receive messages freely. Anyone who has communicated with him will find that he controls the direction of the topic. Even a veteran like Shao Qingbo is no exception.
Shao Qingbo came to see Fang Zhicheng today, on the one hand to inform him about the behind-the-scenes of the pension issue of Caoyao Heavy Industry Group, and on the other hand to discuss some details of the old city project, after all, local factions also have to get a share. Fang Zhicheng stood up and took out a document from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Shao Qingbo. Shao Qingbo glanced at it for a moment, and his eyes showed surprise. Obviously, he did not expect Fang Zhicheng to make so many concessions.
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "If Cao Yao wants to achieve economic revitalization, it ultimately depends on the efforts of the local government. I can introduce resources from outside, but that is more of a role of building canals and diverting water. How to make the water not stagnant but flowing still requires the efforts of the local government."
Shao Qingbo sighed secretly. He originally thought that Fang Zhicheng's position was to introduce his own forces into the old city to counter the local forces. Now he saw his sincerity. In the final analysis, he still wanted to let Cao Yao's enterprises activate Cao Yao's economy.
Shao Qingbo said very seriously: "Mayor Fang, since you trust me so much, I can assure you that the Caoyao Old Town Reconstruction Project will become a key to revitalizing Caoyao's economy."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and encouraged: "Boss Shao, in the whole Cao Yao, I think you are the only one who can do this."
Shao Qingbo exhaled and said, "Mayor Fang, you are too kind."
After seeing Shao Qingbo off, Fang Zhicheng looked at the number he had missed. It was from Sui Qi. Fang Zhicheng sighed. What he had said to Sui Qi last night was a bit too much, so he really didn't know how to face her.
Chapter 0987 Caring Too Much Will Cause Pain
In the evening, Chen Yuejin and his wife came to the guest house to visit Fang Zhicheng, bringing several food boxes. Fang Zhicheng was flattered and cleaned the table, then drank with Chen Yuejin. Chen Yuejin's wife looked very young, a woman in her thirties who looked like she was in her twenties. She was very efficient and let Chen Yuejin and Fang Zhicheng drink in the living room while she shuttled back and forth between several rooms to help clean up.
It's just that Fang Zhicheng is used to tidying up his room, and there are usually waiters to clean it, so there is not much housework. Qu Chun smiled and said, "Old Chen, you really need to learn from Zhicheng. Although he lives alone in Caoyao, he is not sloppy at all. If I go out for a while, my house will definitely be a mess."
Chen Yuejin drank a few glasses of wine, his face flushed a little, and he squinted his eyes at Qu Chun and joked, "Who made my wife so capable?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled, "It's mainly because the waiters at the guesthouse cleaned up in a timely manner. I did do some housework before, but now I don't need to do much. I cleaned the room too clean before, and some aunts came to greet me and told me not to do it myself, otherwise, I would be stealing their jobs."
Chen Yuejin knew that Fang Zhicheng was joking on purpose, so he raised his glass and said, "I have invited you to my house several times, but you always said you didn't have time, so I had no choice but to take the initiative to visit you."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Old Chen, you are too polite."
Qu Chun opened the door and put away the garbage bags. He saw a pretty woman next door who looked familiar. After recognizing her, he greeted her, "Hello, Mayor Sui!"
Sui Qi and Qu Chun had met several times in private. Qu Chun was from the north and had a straightforward personality. They got along well. Sui Qi was surprised and asked, "Sister Qu, why are you here?"
Qu Chun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I came with Lao Chen to visit Zhicheng. You live next door, right? Have you had dinner?"
Sui Qi waved her hands in a panic and said, "I've already had dinner."
Qu Chun was a warm-hearted person. He walked closer in two or three steps, took Sui Qi's hand, and said with a smile, "We've eaten. Eat a little more. Lao Chen and Zhicheng are drinking. It's not good for a woman like me to disturb them. With you, it will be more lively."
The relationship between Sui Qi and Fang Zhicheng was at an awkward stage. She wanted to avoid Fang Zhicheng every day, but now Qu Chun forced her to have dinner with Fang Zhicheng. This was naturally hard for her to accept, so she stepped back. However, Qu Chun was very strong, and Sui Qi thought it was no big deal to pull and tug in the corridor, so she bit the bullet and went into Fang Zhicheng's room.
"Zhicheng, look who I invited?" Qu Chun proudly pushed Sui Qi onto the chair.
Chen Yuejin laughed cheerfully and said, "I almost forgot that Mayor Sui lives next door."
Fang Zhicheng noticed that Sui Qi's expression was not natural, and smiled faintly: "Although Mayor Sui and I are separated by a wall, we rarely have the opportunity to sit down and eat together. Today is an opportunity. Mayor Sui, how about a few drinks?"
Sui Qi thought to herself that Fang Zhicheng was so hateful that he made her feel like a stranger to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Mayor Fang, you have to drink as much as I drink. How about that?"
Fang Zhicheng knew Sui Qi's alcohol tolerance, and he couldn't match her. He thought to himself that it was because he talked too much that he was in such a difficult situation. However, he still had to maintain his basic dignity as a man, so he smiled and said, "Let's go to the bar."
Qu Chun called the front desk and asked the restaurant to add a few more dishes. The four of them chatted and drank, and the atmosphere was quite good.
Qu Chun was very sensitive and saw that there was something going on between Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi. He smiled and said, "It is rumored that Mayor Fang and Mayor Sui are a perfect match made in heaven!"
Chen Yuejin immediately glared and spat, "Don't talk nonsense! Zhicheng is a married man, and Mayor Sui is still single!"
