Ye Qingrou became even crazier when she heard Fang Zhicheng's name. She frantically touched Ye Meizi's body and laughed loudly, "Sister Meizi, don't look around and talk about other things. If you don't agree to me, I will stick to you for the rest of my life."
Ye Meizi's sensitive parts were caught by Ye Qingrou. She was angry and embarrassed, so she decided to fight back. The laughter of the two girls instantly spread throughout the villa area, attracting the security guard on duty, who couldn't help but hook his neck and look at the two beauties in the night a few more times.
Zhu Youming sat in the co-pilot seat, staring at Fang Zhicheng, and said with a smile: "Third brother, I didn't know it before I came to Yinzhou. Now I find you in a new light. I didn't expect that a famous bachelor in the university is surrounded by beautiful women. I am really jealous."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Qi Hui looked unhappy when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Don't you have Qi Hui? What is there to be jealous of?"
Zhu Youming chuckled twice and asked curiously, "What are the origins of those two women just now? If they were in our school before, they would definitely be ranked in the top five."
Fang Zhicheng did not hide it and said slowly: "The younger one is still a high school student. As for the older one, if I guess correctly, she should be a flight attendant, and she is also related to you."
Zhu Youming was intrigued and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell me what's going on!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly, stepped on the accelerator, and talked freely: "The high school student is named Ye Qingrou, the daughter of the famous Third Master of the Ye family in Huainan. As for the older woman, she should be her cousin Ye Meizi. You should be familiar with this name, right?"
"The daughter of Ye Mingyuan, deputy mayor of Qiongjin?" Zhu Youming's expression became complicated.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and added, "Lin He's former fiancée."
When Zhu Youming heard Lin He's name, his mood darkened again. He sneered and said angrily, "I didn't expect that Lin He had such a beautiful fiancée, but he was still flirting with other women outside. What a bastard!"
Fang Zhicheng knew that Zhu Youming was upset, and thinking of his ex-girlfriend Wang Meijia, he sighed and said, "Lin He is asking for trouble. The marriage is over. It is a big joke in Huainan. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Zhu Youming was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Old Third, can you help me with something?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "What kind of relationship do we have? As long as I can do it, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation."
Zhu Youming gritted his teeth, a vicious smile appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Go pick up Ye Meizi, it will make me feel relieved."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head, thinking Zhu Youming was joking, and sighed, "Do you think women are commodities that you can just pick up when you ask them to?"
Zhu Youming smiled and said softly, "Ye Meizi looks at you differently and seems to admire you very much, so I think you have a lot of potential."
Fang Zhicheng no longer dwelled on this topic, secretly thinking that his relationship with Ye Qingrou was closer than he had imagined, because he vaguely felt that the little girl's attitude towards him was very different from before.
Although the Ye family does not seem to be prominent in the national perspective, it is of great importance in Huainan Province. If one can establish this relationship, it will definitely be of great help to one's future career path.
Fang Zhicheng is also a layman. Since he is an official, he will naturally make all kinds of preparations for his future like other laymen. Although the Ye family is now Song Wendi's biggest enemy, it does not affect his unique relationship with the daughter of the Ye family. The struggle in the officialdom is treacherous. Although they are on opposite sides at the moment, it is hard to guarantee that they will become partners in the next moment.
…
Song Wendi was reading in the study when the red landline on the table rang. The number of this phone was the same as the red landline in the office. This phone was closely connected to the provincial governor who stood at the top of the provincial party committee.
Li Siyuan cleared his throat and sighed, "Wendy, something big happened in Yinzhou, do you know about it?"
Song Wendi frowned, his mind churning over recent events, and asked in confusion: "Secretary Li, I don't know what you are referring to..."
"The car accident the night before yesterday." Li Siyuan said in a very serious tone.
Song Wendi still didn't understand why Li Siyuan came. As the secretary of a municipal party committee, many things happened in the city every day. A car accident might be an extremely tragic disaster for an ordinary family, but for Song Wendi, he was in charge of millions of people and it was impossible for him to take care of every detail.
Song Wendi said somewhat awkwardly: "There was a heavy snowstorm in Yinzhou last night. The road conditions were very bad. There were indeed several serious car accidents, and even casualties, but these are natural disasters that are difficult to control..."
From the other end of the line came the sound of Li Siyuan's fingers tapping on the table. Song Wendi knew that this was a habitual action used by Li Siyuan to concentrate when he was extremely anxious, so Song Wendi said no more and waited quietly for Li Siyuan to speak.
After thinking for a long time, Li Siyuan said softly: "Ning's son-in-law died in a disaster at the intersection of Yinzhou Wenhe Road last night."
"Ah?" Although Song Wendi was extremely calm, he was shocked when he heard the news.
Now that China has entered a period of great economic development, many famous families have also emerged, among which the Ning family is one of the top power levels. To give a simple example, there are nearly 200 members of the 10th Central Committee, of which about two layers are related to the Ning family. There are only a handful of factions that can be on par with the Ning family.
Song Wendi felt his fingers trembling slightly. Although it was related to God's will, it happened in Yinzhou after all. If the Ning family took their anger out on the local area, it would be a minor issue for him to be questioned. It would be very likely that a nationwide political change would occur, with disastrous consequences.
Song Wendi sighed: "Which son-in-law of the Ning family?"
Li Siyuan said with mixed emotions: "General Ning's second son-in-law, who is valued the most and is trained as his successor."
The most notable person among the second generation of the Ning family is undoubtedly General Ning, who was awarded the position of the head of the military logistics department when he just turned 50. General Ning has three daughters, among whom the son-in-law of the second daughter has the most potential. He is in his early 30s and is now a deputy department-level cadre of the Yunhai Municipal Commerce Commission, with a promising future.
Now that the Ning family's son-in-law died in Yinzhou, it is very likely to cause a stir. If the national situation changes, Huainan, as the place where the incident occurred, will be the first to be affected. Even if the Ning family will not vent their anger on the local area, Huainan must make a statement to comfort the Ning family.
Chapter 0113: The Uneasy Spring Festival
A car accident made the Spring Festival of 2005 not peaceful.
As Li Siyuan had worried, the death of the second son-in-law of the Ning family in a car accident triggered a series of deployments by the Ning family across the country. The three northeastern provinces, which were firmly controlled by the northern faction, were also raided, and a large number of high-ranking officials above the department level were placed under double supervision or transferred. Huainan Province also immediately made a statement, and dealt with the Yinzhou City Transportation Bureau, the Huainan Provincial Transportation Department, and several high-ranking officials with northern faction backgrounds in a high-profile manner.
From a national perspective, Li Siyuan has a strong trace of the economics department. The economics department is a group of people who emerged during the process of reform and opening up. Ordinary people would identify them as the Youth League faction, but in fact they are not quite the same as the Youth League faction.
The Youth League faction is mainly promoted as reserve cadres within the party, while officials like Li Siyuan are mostly transferred to the government from universities or state-owned enterprises. They are good at invigorating the economy, promoting reform and innovation, and climbing up step by step with the accumulation of political achievements. Of course, there are not many officials in this category, but everyone who stands at the top has a strong personal color, is very prestigious, and can gain the support of the people.
Although Fang Zhicheng knew something about the internal struggle of the top management, it did not affect his daily life. He and Qin Yuming bought the New Year's goods early, prepared a sumptuous meal on New Year's Eve, and then spent the two-person world that he had always dreamed of. After New Year's Eve, Qin Yuming was going back to her parents' home. After Fang Zhicheng sent her to the station, he went to Qiu's house for dinner.
When Lele saw Fang Zhicheng coming, he smiled and called out several times, "Uncle Fang, I wish you a happy Chinese New Year."
Fang Zhicheng performed a magic trick for Lele, reaching his hand behind Lele's hair and then conjured up a big red envelope. Lele held the New Year's money and secretly glanced at Xie Yuxin. Fang Zhicheng saw what Lele was thinking and smiled, "Don't worry, this is given to you by Uncle Fang, and your mother won't ask for it for you."
Xie Yuxin smiled unhappily, and seeing Lele looking at her pitifully, she said, "I'm just keeping it for the time being. I'll give it to you when Lele grows up."
