Fang Zhicheng reminded: "She has been through a lot, so her emotions are not very stable. I suggest that Guan Ruofei take her to see a psychologist."
Wang Guoyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will make the arrangements. Thank you for showing mercy."
Fang Zhicheng said: "The time of swords and sabers has passed. There is no need to fight to the death."
Wang Guoyue sighed and said, "The land for the second phase of Hongda Group's project in the new city has been approved and can be moved forward at any time."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Wang Guoyue had helped a lot this time, so he smiled and said, "I thank you on behalf of Hongda Group."
Wang Guoyue waved his hand and said, "This is part of my job."
The communication with Wang Guoyue became normal and natural, but this did not make Fang Zhicheng feel at ease, because he knew that the war between him and Wang Guoyue was only a temporary pause. Even if there was no conflict of interest now, they might go to war at any time in the future for the sake of factional interests.
After Fang Zhicheng returned to the municipal government building, he first wandered around Sui Qi's office. Seeing that Sui Qi was working as usual, he felt relieved. He returned to his office and began to correct documents. Hua Qingwen had gone to the provincial party committee to study, and Tu Daofeng arranged a new secretary. Although not very flexible, he was barely usable. Fang Zhicheng reviewed the documents for about half an hour, received a text message, put down his pen, and remained silent for a long time.
Over the years, Fang Zhicheng had already cultivated a strong heart that could not be easily shaken by anything, but when he received this text message, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Zhicheng, I'm your grandpa Fang Chaosheng. I want to meet you. Is that okay?"
Fang Chaosheng is the father of his adoptive mother, and Fang Zhicheng's grandfather. In Fang Zhicheng's impression, he only has one relative, that is his adoptive mother. Because from the beginning of his memory, his adoptive mother never interacted with relatives, and there were only sporadic memories. Once her family came to find her, she cried all night and fell seriously ill, and she has been ill ever since.
Fang Zhicheng hesitated for a long time before replying to the text message, "I'm in Caoyao, come to Caoyao to see me when you are free."
The text message came back quickly, "I'm already in Caoyao!"
Fang Zhicheng realized that Fang Chaosheng had already made a plan. Since Fang Chaosheng had come to him, he had to meet him for his adoptive mother's sake. So he sent a text message, "Let's meet at the Baiyun Teahouse next to the city government at 5:30 pm."
Because he was worried, his work was affected that day. Fang Zhicheng postponed several activities and arrived at Baiyun Teahouse on time at 5:30. Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised to see four people sitting at the table. The one sitting in the middle was a white-haired old man with a good complexion and rosy complexion, but his arms were shaking subconsciously. He should have a neurological disorder such as Parkinson's disease.
"Zhicheng, although this is the first time we meet, I have seen your photo. I am your aunt, your mother's eldest sister." A middle-aged woman took the initiative to introduce herself. She was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Fang Zhicheng waving his hand.
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "I have investigated the information of each of you, so there is no need for too much introduction. Why not just tell me directly, what do you need me to do?"
Fang Chaosheng still acted like an elder. He coughed and said with shaking hands, "We want to ask you for help. Your eldest cousin has been detained at the police station for a month. I heard he might be sentenced to ten years in prison. He is the pillar of our Fang family. If anything happens to him, our whole family will collapse."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "There is a situation. I wonder if you know it. In fact, I am not my mother's biological son. I was adopted by my mother. So I have no blood relationship with your Fang family."
Fang Chaosheng opened his mouth wide and looked at Fang Zhicheng in surprise. He obviously didn't know all this. His adoptive mother had concealed everything, including from her family.
Fang Chaosheng's eyes flashed with disappointment, regret, and remorse, and he whispered, "Why did she do this? Why is she so stupid?"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said calmly, "Everything is to protect me, because she knows her family. She said that I am her biological son, and I have been treated coldly by you. If she said that I was an adopted son, I am afraid I would have died long ago."
The middle-aged man sitting next to Fang Chaosheng was named Fang Zhengde, Fang Chaosheng's eldest son. He came to Fang Zhicheng for help because his son was in trouble.
Fang Zhengde's eyes flashed with anxiety, because this time his son had offended the local dignitaries in Yinzhou, and the other party was willing to put his son in jail at all costs. After thinking about it, Fang Zhengde could only think of Fang Zhicheng, who had now reached the level of deputy mayor.
Fang Zhengde knew that Fang Chaosheng had always regarded his sister as a disgrace to the family, so he persuaded him for a long time and finally convinced him to come and meet Fang Zhicheng. The result was surprising, because Fang Zhicheng actually had no blood relationship with the Fang family, but was just an adopted child of his sister.
Fang Chaosheng had not expected such a change, and tears could not help but fall from his eyes. Fang Chaosheng recalled that he had been cruel to his daughter and felt guilty. His late wife often complained about him because of this. Just one month after he learned that his daughter had passed away due to illness, his wife also passed away.
"I'm sorry for her." Fang Chaosheng said with tears in his eyes.
Fang Zhicheng's eyes were a little sore, and he said softly: "Although I have no blood relationship with your Fang family, let alone emotional foundation, but for the sake of my mother, I will help you solve the problem, because you are her relatives, even though you once cruelly abandoned him."
Chapter 1026 A Big Shot Appears
A few hours ago, Fang Zhicheng had learned from Zhang Xiaoliang why the Fang family had come to him. Fang Zhengde's son Fang Wei was 35 years old and ran a medium-sized logistics company. He was considered a moderately wealthy boss. In recent years, there has been fierce competition among logistics companies, and Fang Wei's logistics company has also been affected. Someone used his connections to invite some members of society to maliciously cause trouble in his company.
Fang Wei was not a good person either. After suffering a great loss, he gathered a group of people. The two groups met in the suburbs to prepare for a fight. As a result, they were reported by local people. The Yinzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau dispatched police forces to control the scene of the fight. Fang Wei, the instigator, and another person were taken into criminal detention.
September and December of each year are the peak periods for the Huainan police to crack down on prostitution and gangs. Fang Wei was caught in the crossfire, so despite using many connections, he still could not get bail. The man who had a conflict with him had more connections and has now been released from the detention center.
The Fang family has been running around during this period, hoping to find some strong connections, but most of the people they know are not of high rank, and the other party uses their connections to obstruct them, so Fang Wei is unable to escape for the time being.
Moreover, from the information we have obtained, Fang Wei may be identified as a typical case by the public security system as a key member of a social group with a high risk index. In that case, it will not be a simple detention but may involve imprisonment for more than ten years.
The Fang family was completely panicked. Fang Wei was the backbone of the family. He had helped solve many problems inside and outside the family over the years. Many relatives and friends worked in his logistics company. If something happened to him, the whole family would suffer a huge blow.
As a result, Fang Zilan, the eldest daughter of the Fang family, thought of a person, that is Fang Zhicheng. Because at that time she had heard that her sister's son became the secretary of the municipal party secretary after graduation. Later, after inquiring from many sources, she learned that Fang Zhicheng was no longer in Yinzhou, but became the deputy mayor of Caoyao.
At first, Fang Chaosheng was firmly opposed to looking for Fang Zhicheng, because he felt guilty and he did not have the courage to face his grandson whom he had never met. But after being persuaded by his family, Fang Chaosheng finally came to Caoyao and found Fang Zhicheng.
In Fang Zhicheng's memory, his adoptive mother had a very difficult life, especially during the years when he was in college. In order to raise enough tuition for him, she even worked several jobs and her health became worse and worse.
Fang Zhicheng once asked his adoptive mother why no one from his grandfather's family had ever shown up. His adoptive mother's answer made Fang Zhicheng feel a little sad, so he tacitly chose to forget that he even had a grandfather.
After his adoptive mother passed away, Fang Zhicheng once thought about informing his grandfather's family of the news of her death, but his adoptive mother left a will, saying that she was the sinner of the Fang family and since she was dead, there should be no fuss about it. So his adoptive mother's funeral was very simple, and apart from a few neighbors and friends, no one else was present.
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng promised to rescue his son, Fang Zhengde stood up excitedly, bowed and said, "Zhicheng, thank you."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands and said expressionlessly: "Don't thank me, you should thank my mother. We have never met and were strangers to each other, but I helped you for the sake of the deceased. And after this is over, I hope we will never meet again. After all, we have no emotional connection with each other. I have already paid back what my mother owed you."
Fang Zhengde's face turned red and white for a while, and he whispered: "Zhicheng, I know you have a grudge against our family. I tried to help your mother at the beginning, but she was too stubborn and refused my help."
"Really?" Fang Zhicheng glanced at Fang Zhengde indifferently, knowing that what he said was most likely fabricated, and sneered, "So, my mother's hard life was all her own fault. Her family was willing to help her, but she refused without hesitation. If that's true, my mother deserves it!"
Fang Zhengde looked embarrassed and a little at a loss.
