Tong Siqing shrugged and said with a smile: "The houses in this community are all small boutique houses. Some people buy them and then rent them out to others. So there are a lot of young couples renting houses. It's nothing new."
Fang Zhicheng followed Tong Siqing up to the seventh floor and turned two corners. Tong Siqing took out the key to open the door, then turned on the light. After Fang Zhicheng walked in, he looked carefully and smiled, "It's quite cozy."
Tong Siqing smiled and said, "When living alone, I don't need a lot of space, otherwise I would feel anxious, so I found a house like this, more than 80 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room."
Fang Zhicheng sat on the sofa, watching Tong Siqing slowly unbutton her hair, letting her shiny black hair fall down her shoulders, and asked, "Is there any news about him?"
Tong Siqing nodded and said with a wry smile: "I came back once last year, but we didn't meet."
The marriage between Li Mingxue and Tong Siqing was a tragedy. Ultimately, Fang Zhicheng also played an immoral role in it.
Tong Siqing weighed the thermos and found that there was no hot water in it, so she went to the kitchen to boil some water. Fang Zhicheng turned on the TV, which was broadcasting a football match. When Fang Zhicheng saw that it was the Chinese team's game, he unconsciously changed the channel. There was really nothing good to watch in Chinese football right now.
Tong Siqing brought out a cup of tea and saw Fang Zhicheng constantly changing channels. She smiled and asked, "Are you worried about something?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, thinking that Tong Siqing was very careful and had discovered the clues. He nodded and said, "Although Governor Wei has left Huainan, some of Huainan's problems have not been solved. What is covering the surface of Huainan's economy is a false prosperity. After Master takes office, he has a long way to go."
Tong Siqing also nodded and said, "Judging from the situation of the Standing Committee in the past few days, the economic development situation in the next six months will basically be the probation period for Governor Wendi. If he can withstand the pressure, he can be promoted from acting governor to governor. But if he can't withstand the pressure, I'm afraid Secretary Wen will not give up power easily."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "It's mainly because the overall environment is uncertain. In fact, the economic situation has been declining since 2008. So Master has got a good opportunity, but he will also face severe tests."
Tong Siqing said: "I think you already have an idea in your mind."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled: "If we want to activate the current economic system, we must promote it from a policy perspective. Therefore, the business tax to value-added tax reform must be continuously promoted."
Tong Siqing said thoughtfully: "You mean to reduce the tax burden on enterprises and help small and micro enterprises reduce pressure?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "The tax burden was too severe in the past, which led to high costs for starting a business. Through the business tax to value-added tax reform, some industries can be activated, and it also plays a vital role in improving the rigor of the country's tax policies."
Tong Siqing said: "The policy has been tried out in Yunhai!"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be opened in Huainan by the end of the year. So if Master wants to make achievements and open a breakthrough, he must start with the business tax to value-added tax reform."
Tong Siqing had come into contact with this type of policy, but she didn't particularly understand it. She smiled and said, "Governor Wendi is really lucky to have you as his apprentice. You are always thinking about him."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned, took the teacup and sipped the tea, then said with a smile: "I'm sick again, sorry."
Tong Siqing smiled and said, "I like the way you are devoted to your work. If there were more hardworking people like you in the government, the organization would be in order."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Tong Siqing and knew what she was referring to. During this period, many negative incidents involving senior officials have been exposed in the officialdom of Qiongjin, especially the current mayor of Qiongjin.
Fang Zhicheng said: "Actually, I am also a mess. For example, when it comes to emotions, I have never been a rational person."
Tong Siqing smiled emotionally, turned and went to the bathroom, whispering, "Wait for me."
Ten minutes later, Tong Siqing came out wrapped in a bathrobe. Fang Zhicheng walked over and held her in his arms, then walked quickly to the room and gently laid her flat on the bed. Just as he was about to press on her, he saw the photo of her son on the bedside table and asked with a smile, "If you miss him, bring him to Qiongjin. That way you won't be too lonely."
Tong Siqing's nose felt sore, tears welled up in her eyes, and she smiled bitterly: "The child has lived with his grandparents for too long, and I no longer exist in his life, so I don't want to change his lifestyle for me."
Fang Zhicheng didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only lean over and hold back the tears rolling down her eyes.
"You shouldn't be so lonely. You should have more social circles and be nicer to yourself. There's nothing wrong with you. It's just that fate is unfair to you." Fang Zhicheng said gently.
"If God is punishing me like this because I fell in love with you, then I'm willing to live like this forever." Tong Siqing murmured softly.
Fang Zhicheng cursed distressedly: "Idiot!"
At the same time, he felt that he should cherish Tong Siqing better. This is a very passive woman, pushed forward by fate, but she shows strong vitality in her resignation. Like a white flower on the edge of a cliff, people can't help but want to protect this pure beauty.
The red light spread over the house and overflowed from the windows until it gradually dissipated at dawn.
Fang Zhicheng looked at Tong Siqing who was sleeping in his arms, and a sense of determination rose in his heart. There are some people whom he should never let down in this life.
Chapter 0998 Influencing the Fate of Others
The next morning, Fang Zhicheng had just walked into Building No. 1 of the Provincial Government when his cell phone vibrated. Chen Tao called and said gratefully, "Mayor Fang, thank you for your promotion. A leader talked to me today and wanted me to go to the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee to enrich myself. He asked about my intentions. I know you must have helped me. From the bottom of my heart, entering the officialdom has always been my dream, so it means a lot to me that you let me take this step. You are my benefactor. In the future, I will definitely work hard and will not let you down!"
Fang Zhicheng didn't expect Chen Tao to say a lot of words. He smiled and said, "Chairman Chen, the officialdom and the campus are different. Although they have something in common, the campus is closed, while the officialdom is open. On campus, the people or things you meet are limited, but in the officialdom, you will encounter various emergencies every day. So since you have chosen this path, you must be mentally prepared and devote yourself to it."
Chen Tao said with emotion: "I understand what you mean, and thank you for your advice. I will report my work to you frequently in the future."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned and shook his head. He originally only planned to give Chen Tao one chance, so he asked Tong Siqing to help with the personnel transfer process. However, he did not expect that Chen Tao was very good at climbing up the ladder. When he saw Fang Zhicheng throwing out an olive branch, he hurriedly grabbed it, fearing that this thigh would fly away.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I have something to do right now. Let's contact each other when we are free. If you need any help, just let me know. We are classmates and we are in the officialdom together. We should support each other."
Chen Tao quickly apologized with a smile: "You are busy! You are busy!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tao waved his fists in the air twice and exhaled a foul breath. After being in college for so long, he was fed up with the humiliation. The school administrators were no different from the officialdom. In fact, because they had the school as a holy temple as a cover, the dark side was even more despicable.
Some time ago, it was revealed that many professors used the possibility of successful graduation as a threat to control their graduate students, not only exploiting their internship wages, but also sexually harassing them. This is actually not uncommon. Chen Tao is the secretary of the president. He often receives similar news and is no longer surprised.
After walking back to the office, Cai Linfeng walked out of the inner room and said to Chen Tao with a smile: "Xiao Chen, come in and sit for a while."
Chen Tao smiled habitually and said, "Okay, Principal Cai."
Cai Linfeng sat on the sofa, looking at Chen Tao softly. Chen Tao felt a little strange. Although Cai Linfeng was always smooth and tactful in dealing with people and things, and was very tolerant of his secretary, his attitude today was very different.
"Xiao Chen, what is your relationship with Mayor Fang?" Cai Linfeng asked with a smile.
