Fang Zhicheng knew that Tong Siqing had been married for many years and had a son who was five or six years old. He secretly sighed that she had maintained a very good figure, which was delicate and graceful, with curves in an orderly manner, especially the proud curve of her chest, which was like a young bamboo shoot standing tall under the spring rain, making people want to reach out and touch it.
Tong Siqing saw Fang Zhicheng's eyes rolling around. She remained calm on the surface, but in her heart she defined Fang Zhicheng as a "pervert". She controlled her temper and continued to wait for Fang Zhicheng's arrangements.
According to Fang Zhicheng's plan, Tong Siqing will be responsible for the collection, organization and filing of documents in the future. He will mainly handle the coordination between the municipal party secretary's office and various departments. This will also allow him to get rid of the tedious chores and better control the overall situation for Song Wendi.
The key to whether the municipal party secretary does a good job lies in whether he can "move". The Chinese officialdom is still in the stage of rule by man. Some key issues must be solved by the municipal party secretary on the spot to coordinate and solve them thoroughly. Therefore, the more frequently the municipal party secretary travels, the more practical problems he can solve for the people.
After the meeting with Tong Siqing, Fang Zhicheng took the kettle and went into the inner room to fill a glass of water for Song Wendi. After leaving, he found Wang Ke sitting on his desk and said with a smile, "Director Wang, how come you have time?"
This was not just a greeting from Fang Zhicheng. After Wang Ke was promoted to office director as an exception, he was very busy. It was extremely difficult for Fang Zhicheng to sit down and talk to him.
Wang Ke smiled, subconsciously glanced at Tong Siqing who was bending over the table to sort out materials, and chuckled softly, "I wanted to treat everyone to a simple meal a long time ago, but I was too busy with the handover work, so I delayed it. It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I thought of inviting several department heads to dinner today. Would you like to come?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that Wang Ke invited him, on the one hand because he was grateful to him for helping him get promoted, and on the other hand he hoped that Fang Zhicheng would come forward to help him hold on to the situation.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled modestly, "They are all leaders. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"
The heads of departments are all deputy department-level or section-level cadres, and Fang Zhicheng's administrative level is only deputy section. Wang Ke invited Fang Zhicheng to take advantage of Song Wendi's prestige.
Although they are in the same compound and have different levels of rank, their treatments vary greatly depending on the popularity of their positions. The people Wang Ke has invited tonight must be cadres in important positions deep within the Municipal Party Committee Office. As the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, if Fang Zhicheng can be present, it will undoubtedly give Wang Ke more confidence.
Wang Ke had jumped to two extremes in half a year. He was the deputy director of the Secretary Department a few months ago. Now he had to manage those high-ranking heads of various departments. Naturally, he felt a little insecure. He waved his hand and pointed to the door of the inner room and said with a smile: "You are making fun of me again. You meet with the biggest leaders of Yinzhou every day. What are they?"
Fang Zhicheng coughed at Tong Siqing and winked at Wang Ke. Wang Ke knew what Fang Zhicheng meant. He walked to Tong Siqing and said with a smile, "Xiao Tong, are you free tonight?"
Tong Siqing seemed to be sorting out information, but in fact she was listening attentively. She had heard the conversation between Wang Ke and Fang Zhicheng a long time ago. She had been in the Municipal Party Committee Office for many days and knew that Wang Ke was now the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. Seeing him talking to Fang Zhicheng without any airs, she was secretly shocked and realized that Fang Zhicheng and Wang Ke had a close relationship. No wonder Fang Zhicheng was so arrogant despite his young age.
In fact, Fang Zhicheng's arrogance is because he has been with Song Wendi for a long time, and he is inevitably influenced by her. His way of speaking and behavior seem mature.
Tong Siqing originally worked in the Municipal Women's Federation. She was surrounded by many women with different working styles. When she started to get along with Fang Zhicheng, she needed a period of adaptation.
This is also because Fang Zhicheng is too young. If he looked a little older, coupled with his current calm style of doing things, it would not be so difficult to accept.
In short, Fang Zhicheng now gives people the feeling of being mature beyond his years.
Tong Siqing pondered for a moment, thought of her words, and politely refused: "Director Wang, I'm sorry, I have to take care of the child when I go back home at night. He has a cold recently and is not feeling well."
Wang Ke looked back at Fang Zhicheng, and seeing Fang Zhicheng's encouraging expression, he felt helpless. However, he knew that if he couldn't persuade Tong Siqing, Fang Zhicheng would probably not go to the banquet that night, so he continued to coax him and said, "It's rare for our Municipal Party Committee Office to get together. You just came, so it's a good opportunity to meet everyone. I'll make an exception tonight, and I promise not to do it again next time. How about it?"
Tong Siqing frowned, thinking that if she didn't give Wang Ke face and made him feel resentful, she would inevitably encounter difficulties in the future. She picked up her phone from the table and whispered, "I'll discuss it with my family and get back to you later, how about that?"
Wang Ke smiled and nodded, and said softly: "I'll sit in your seat and wait, please don't let me down."
After Tong Siqing left the office, Wang Ke asked Fang Zhicheng softly, "Why did you have to take her with you?"
Fang Zhicheng crossed his legs and explained, "This will help relieve the pressure on me."
Wang Ke pointed at Fang Zhicheng's nose, suddenly realized what was going on, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, so you are afraid of getting drunk?"
Fang Zhicheng showed an unfathomable smile and said proudly, "The feeling of being drunk is really uncomfortable. Brother Wang, I have to go to your inauguration ceremony, so I brought someone with me to share the burden. You are not afraid of having to pay for more drinks with more people, right?"
Wang Ke smiled helplessly and shook his head, whispering: "I used to think you were a very honest boy, but now I can see more and more how cunning you are. It really is true that time reveals a person's true character."
Fang Zhicheng laughed twice, pointed to the inner room, and whispered, "Don't tell the boss. He's very protective of his people now, be careful he might hold a grudge."
Wang Ke waved his fist and said angrily: "You are looking for death. How dare you threaten me."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Tong Siqing walked in from outside, smiling and reporting to Wang Ke: "Director Wang, I'm sorry to bother you tonight."
"Welcome, welcome!" Wang Ke winked at Fang Zhicheng, showing an expression of living up to everyone's expectations, and walked out of the office while singing "Hero Song" in a tuneless voice.
Next to the Municipal Party Committee compound is Polan Street, which is mainly populated by small restaurants. Because the people in the Municipal Party Committee compound have strong spending power, business has always been booming, and most restaurants are crowded every evening. Wang Ke chose a restaurant that is famous for its braised wild turtles and soft-shelled turtles. As soon as he entered the house, he could smell the unique aroma.
When Fang Zhicheng entered the room, Wang Ke arranged for him and Tong Siqing to sit on his left, which did not displease several department heads. Yao Yin, the person in charge of the General Office, opened a bottle of white wine and filled it up for everyone, but saw Tong Siqing's embarrassed face, covering it with her hand, and said apologetically: "Director Yao, I am allergic to alcohol, so I apply for a drink."
Yao Yin was quite good at dealing with such occasions. He patted his chest and assured, "Miss Tong, today is Director Wang's big day, you must drink a little. If you can't drink it, give the rest to me, how about that?"
The director of the inspection office, Su Dong, laughed and scolded: "Old Yao, are you deliberately trying to take advantage of the beautiful Tong?"
Immediately, people around started to make a fuss, accusing Yao Yin of having bad intentions and deliberately trying to get close to Miss Tong. Tong Siqing saw that everyone was looking at her, so she could only smile helplessly and let Yao Yin fill her glass.
Braised turtle and soft-shelled turtle in a pot, the turtle tastes a bit old and sour, but very chewy, while the soft-shelled turtle is fresh and tender. On the way, the boss smiled and brought out a pot of bright red meat-colored ingredients half an inch long, and reminded: "Wait until the meat in the stone pot is almost eaten, then put these in."
Tong Siqing saw that the thing on the plate was pink and red, and there were traces of blood, so she asked in confusion, "What is this?"
This restaurant was recommended by Yao Yin, so he was familiar with all the dishes. He laughed strangely and said, "This is good food for both men and women. Miss Tong, how about you try it?"
Fang Zhicheng also saw it for the first time, and his face was full of confusion. Wang Ke smiled strangely, pointed at Yao Yin and scolded: "You are bullying ignorant boys and girls."
Yao Yin said with a smile: "Secretary Fang is not married yet, so she can be called ignorant, but Miss Tong's child is already five or six years old, so she can no longer be ignorant."
Fang Zhicheng hesitated for a moment and roughly knew what was on the plate. As for Tong Siqing, her face turned red and she almost covered her face with the tablecloth out of embarrassment.
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Director Yao, please eat one and show us."
Yao Yin smiled proudly and said, "I have a request. If I eat one, Miss Tong must also eat one."
Seeing Yao Yin's persistence towards Tong Siqing, Fang Zhicheng was immediately displeased. Yao Yin's reputation was not very good. Fang Zhicheng had heard about him flirting with women openly in the municipal party committee compound. If it was someone else, it would be fine, but Tong Siqing worked in the municipal party committee secretary's office. How could she be so easily bullied
