Qu Chun waved his hand, changed the subject, and said, "Saying they are a perfect match doesn't mean they can be a couple. I just think they are very pleasing to the eye when put together. Every day on TV news there are a bunch of old men. Occasionally they catch a glimpse of something. Isn't that great?"
Chen Yuejin laughed unhappily and said, "The news is all about current political affairs. Why does it need to be so pleasing to the eyes?"
Qu Chun said, "You don't know this, right? Why is the news ratings so low now? Everyone loves watching TV dramas. It's because the news is too uninnovative. It's the same old stuff every day. People have long been numb to it. If we can introduce some freshness, the effect will be very different."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "Sister-in-law's suggestion makes sense. Let Mayor Sui talk to the person in charge of the TV station tomorrow and ask them to try to come up with some innovations."
Sui Qi rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said unhappily, "The TV station is not under my control. I don't have the qualifications."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "You are the executive vice mayor. If you really want to manage it, Cao Yao's area will be under your management."
Sui Qi exhaled and said, "Right now, Caoyao's TV station is indeed many years behind other cities in the central and southern parts of Huainan. This is not only because of the backward hardware such as equipment and instruments, but also because the overall content of the TV station has not kept up with the trend."
Before Sui Qi became the executive vice mayor, he was also in charge of the radio and television system, so Fang Zhicheng suggested that Sui Qi take the initiative to promote the development of the TV station.
The three members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee sat together and naturally talked about official affairs. Wang Guoyue has been active in recent times, but most of them are relatively small initiatives, such as promoting social security issues in the city and clearing out a number of gangs involved in organized crime.
Because of Cao Yao's special location, at the junction of multiple provinces, the public security has always been poor. This time, Wang Guoyue spent a lot of energy on the political and social atmosphere and won the hearts of the people.
Meng Hu was one of the main persons in charge of the social security rectification, so Fang Zhicheng could get some details from him. Wang Guoyue's actions were relatively in line with the interests of the people, because Cao Yao's involvement in gangs seriously affected the investment environment. Many investors frowned when they heard about Cao Yao, because the people here were tough and it was difficult for foreign companies to gain a foothold.
Therefore, Fang Zhicheng took this factor into consideration when choosing new projects in the old city. However, if Cao Yao wants to achieve great development, local funds alone are definitely not enough. It also needs to bring in fresh capital from outside. This is the next issue to consider. Wang Guoyue has already started to prepare for a rainy day and has made arrangements in advance.
The military is still actively cooperating in this matter, because the military force of the public security system alone is not enough to deter all gangs involved in organized crime.
Chen Yuejin sighed and said, "The public security problem in Caoyao has a long history. In the past, the relationship was more complicated. To put it bluntly, the slightly larger forces all have backgrounds in the officialdom. So this major action to rectify public security is likely to affect the interests of many people."
Fang Zhicheng nodded. This was the fundamental reason why Wang Guoyue temporarily sought peace. If he wanted to thoroughly reorganize Cao Yao's style, he could not put too much energy on the game with Fang Zhicheng.
After all, this matter concerns Cao Yao's future development, so Fang Zhicheng also gave his support. He secretly greeted both Meng Hu and Chen Yuejin.
Although Fang Zhicheng and Wang Guoyue fought openly and secretly, and even ended up in bloodshed, they would remain consistent in returning to the greater good of the people's interests.
When the meal was almost over, Chen Yuejin and his wife said goodbye and left. Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi watched them enter the elevator. Qu Chun suddenly said, "Old Chen, the rumors outside are probably true."
Chen Yuejin glanced at Qu Chun and asked unhappily, "What rumor?"
Qu Chun said: "Haven't you heard? Zhicheng and Sui Qi..." As she spoke, she touched her thumb.
Chen Yuejin coughed and said, "You, stop talking nonsense and making groundless accusations."
Qu Chun smiled and said, "From what happened at the dinner table today, it seems that they are deliberately distancing themselves from each other, which actually increases the possibility of confirmation."
Chen Yuejin sighed and said, "You are too nosy."
Qu Chun said: "This is the hottest topic in Cao Yao right now."
Chen Yuejin glared and warned in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to spread it outside!"
Qu Chun smiled and said, "I see. However, I envy Sui Qi for pursuing singleness and not having any constraints. If I hadn't married you, I would have probably made a bigger fuss than she did."
Chen Yuejin rolled his eyes and said, "It's a pity that you don't have a chance."
Outside the elevator, Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi stood for a while. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Fang Zhicheng was the first to break the deadlock and said, "Have some tea to sober you up?"
Sui Qi didn't say much, walked quickly in front and entered Fang Zhicheng's room.
While making tea, Fang Zhicheng secretly looked at Sui Qi. For some reason, Sui Qi was particularly charming today. Her bright eyes were like the shining stars in the sky, her half-naked neck was as white as jade and shiny, and her slim figure was slender and graceful.
Fang Zhicheng handed Sui Qi a cup of tea, and his fingers gently touched the back of her soft hand, feeling as if his heart was electrocuted. Fang Zhicheng collected his thoughts, knowing that this was not a good symptom, and he was afraid that he had really fallen in love with Sui Qi.
Sui Qi had a blank expression on her face, but in fact, the feeling of the call was two-way. When Fang Zhicheng's heart was beating violently, she felt every cell in her body trembling.
"I apologize for what I said to you that night." Fang Zhicheng sighed softly.
"I don't need your apology!" Sui Qi said with clear and firm eyes, "I just want to know, do you love me?"
Fang Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "People are all made of flesh and blood. We have been together for so many years, how could I not know your feelings for me? I just keep them sealed away most of the time, quietly placing them in a corner of my heart, protecting them well to avoid getting hurt."
Sui Qi stood up and said resolutely: "It's very simple, I love you, you love me, so we should be together well."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I have a family, I can't guarantee that I will only love you."
"I don't care!" Sui Qi shook her head, "Caring too much will make me too painful."
Chapter 0988 I'm Gentle Enough
Sui Qi's courage made Fang Zhicheng feel ashamed. Since marrying Ning Qiangwei, Fang Zhicheng began to put away many complicated emotions and sealed up many unbridled emotions because he needed to be responsible for his family and Ning Qiangwei. But facing Sui Qi's brave and firm feelings, Fang Zhicheng suddenly realized that he was still shaken.
Fang Zhicheng stood up and walked to Sui Qi's side. Sui Qi also stood up. Fang Zhicheng hugged her soft waist, and Sui Qi took the initiative to offer her plump red lips. A stream of cool water slowly flowed into the air. Fang Zhicheng felt that the suppressed flames in his body met gasoline, and instantly flames rose up.
Sui Qi's breathing became heavy, and she felt as if her body was floating. When did she start to like Fang Zhicheng? Perhaps it was love at first sight. That time at the Party School, when their eyes accidentally met, her heart was stolen by this man.
Fang Zhicheng's hands wandered over Sui Qi's body. Summer clothes were thin, and through the layer of clothes, he could still feel the softness and elasticity of Sui Qi's skin. Sui Qi's palms slowly moved down from Fang Zhicheng's chest, touched the buttons of his shirt, and gently removed one, then two. His cold palms slid in and stroked Fang Zhicheng's strong chest, making him feel an inexplicable sense of security.
Fang Zhicheng lowered his head, looked at Sui Qi's delicate and fair face, and asked affectionately: "Do you regret being my lover?"
Sui Qi met Fang Zhicheng's gaze with a sneer on her face and asked, "Do you regret being my lover?"
