When Fang Zhicheng saw Wan Yi and thought about his current situation, he felt a lot of emotion.

Dancing on a sword blade might be a more appropriate description. Although he had worked in the National Development and Reform Commission for two years, he actually spent most of his time abroad. Now it was different. The National Development and Reform Commission was not his springboard or a place to rest. He needed to take solid steps step by step to ensure that he could contribute to the future development of the Su family.

The cell phone suddenly rang. Fang Zhicheng answered the call and Ning Qiangwei's voice came from the other end.

"Are you okay?" Ning Qiangwei said worriedly.

Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile: "What can I do?"

Ning Qiangwei sighed and said unhappily, "The news that you humiliated many foreign businessmen at the foreign businessmen's meeting has spread. Now public opinion is one-sided, saying that you, the second-generation official, are a fool. Of course, there are also some idiots who think you did nothing wrong. As a big country, you should have such a tolerance."

Fang Zhicheng touched his chin and smiled bitterly: "It's only been half an hour, how come it has spread so widely?"

"Someone is secretly instigating this. I'm afraid it's the pressure from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They have received a large number of complaints from foreign companies, but they don't have any real power. They can only use public opinion to put pressure on you." Ning Qiangwei frowned, "Do you want me to use my connections to block the news?"

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "No! It has to continue to ferment."

Ning Qiangwei didn't understand Fang Zhicheng's thoughts and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Fang Zhicheng looked out the window and said in a cold voice: "I want to restore some dignity for the victims of the fishing boats in the South China Sea."

Ning Qiangwei knew what Fang Zhicheng was referring to, and sighed: "Although a hundred fishermen died, they are too insignificant to the country."

Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "I can't bring them back to life, but I must let their families know that the country has dignity, and as Chinese citizens, they also have dignity."

Ning Qiangwei sighed: "With your own strength?"

Fang Zhicheng said silently: "Everything depends on human effort!"

Ning Qiangwei was moved and said, "You are not alone, I will help you too! I will call my father later."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Lieutenant General Ning doesn't need you to do anything. I know him very well. He and I have absolutely the same views and stand on the same side."

Ning Qiangwei asked in confusion: "You two don't seem to have anything in common. You never communicate during meals."

Fang Zhicheng said: "Men always communicate their positions and opinions through actions."

Ning Qiangwei said sourly: "In my eyes, you will always be a little Jiangnan man."

The incident on the Internet was fermenting, and Fang Zhicheng's speech at the foreign business conference was also widely discussed. But with the release of another video, the heat has weakened and shifted.

From an anonymous comment on a military forum:

This video comes from the South China Sea. Chinese warships are salvaging the wreckage of a fishing boat. The 150-ton fishing boat has turned into waste, and a large number of corpses have been found among them.

This is a planned provocation from some foreign countries. Although China has not held a targeted press conference, it has expressed its attitude on some occasions, such as the speech of the director of the Foreign Investment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission at the Foreign Business Conference.

Connecting the two events, it is fully proven that China has begun to express its dissatisfaction with this matter and safeguard its dignity through practical actions.

Ten hours later, another anonymous message appeared: the South China Sea Fleet has been dispatched and is heading towards the provocative country. Attached is another video, a ship of a small country is being chased by a patrol ship flying the national flag. The patrol ship keeps ramming the ship, which is like a small boat drifting in the waves. When it is smashed to pieces, several red lights rise into the sky, and the picture stops abruptly.

Linking several pieces of news together, someone has sorted out the logic. First, in order to make China recognize the TTP organization, the international powers did not hesitate to use the provocation of a small country in the South China Sea to create a fishing boat disaster. Then, the director of the Foreign Investment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission expressed his attitude at a foreign business conference, intimidating foreign businessmen and expressing the need to tighten foreign investment policies. Finally, the military mobilized the South China Sea Fleet, invaded the waters of the small southern country by force, and destroyed its ships.

Of course, there is much more to the story than what was described at the forum. UN Secretary-General Kim Yoo-rim specially convened an internal meeting for this purpose, summoning the foreign ministers of the countries involved in the incident and strongly urging Asian countries to remain calm and restrained and not to destroy the current era of peace because of war.

Fang Zhicheng read the materials brought by Zhang Xiaoliang, touched his nose, and sighed: "How many people died on the other side? This material doesn't seem to mention it."

"At least one thousand people. The reason why I didn't mention it is because it is highly confidential. Even if the Su family retrieved the information, they kept the data confidential. I also used a lot of connections to get the exact data." Zhang Xiaoliang added, "These people are all soldiers, there are no civilians."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and sighed, "The military is still too calm."

Zhang Xiaoliang said: "If the poor are harmed, it will cross the bottom line."

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said calmly: "Every time there is a split in Russia, the army is sent to suppress it, and at least thousands of civilians are killed or injured. How can they not be afraid of public pressure? The key is that we ourselves have no confidence and are afraid of this and that. At the same time, we are too self-deprecating and underestimate our status in the eyes of the international community."

Zhang Xiaoliang asked: "What should we do next?"

Fang Zhicheng raised his lips slightly and said, "Since we have already fought back militarily, we naturally need to impose economic sanctions now. A document will be issued later to strictly review foreign investment standards and not allow those unqualified companies to come to China to seek gold."

Zhang Xiaoliang narrowed his eyes and flattered him: "Boss, you are so domineering!"

Fang Zhicheng sighed lightly and said with a smile: "This is also what those old guys want. They want to ensure that their image is stable and reliable. The things that charge into battle will naturally be done by us young people."

Zhang Xiaoliang lowered his voice and suggested, "You can't always be used as a gun, right?"

Fang Zhicheng glanced at Zhang Xiaoliang and saw that he was smiling flatteringly. He said lightly: "On the chessboard, the outcome is determined by the last soldier. No one knows whether the soldier becomes cannon fodder or the pawn kills the general!"

Chapter 1051 I Want You to Eat Me

The golden Volvo S80 sedan slowly drove into Jiangjun Hutong.

Although Volvo was acquired by a domestic company many years ago, its overseas production lines still operate independently. In Volvo 4S stores in China, you can only buy the S80L. The authentic Swedish Volvo production line only produces the S80. Chinese people like the extended version, so Volvo lengthened the Chinese version of the S80 series. The L means extended, not how high-end it is. It's like drinking red wine from a French winery with Sprite, which shows the special hobby of Chinese people.

The S80 slowly stopped, and a tall, long-legged, fashionably dressed woman walked out from the back seat. Her rosy lips were smeared with flesh-colored lipstick, which made her look crystal pink. Her neckline was very low, but not revealing, showing off her delicate jade-like collarbones. She seemed to be thinking for a long time before she slowly exhaled, took off her glasses, and revealed her pretty face.

If you only look at this face, regardless of the temperament she exudes, you might mistakenly think that this is a young woman in her twenties. However, the elegance displayed in her every move fully demonstrates that she is a woman full of experience.
