Fang Zhicheng brewed a cup of tea according to Song Wendi's habit. After taking a sip, Song Wendi nodded with satisfaction, realizing that drinking the strong tea brewed by Fang Zhicheng every day had gradually become a habit. At first, he thought it was a little bland, but after savoring it, he found that it had a sweet taste. He asked with a smile, "Why is this tea different from what I drank before? There is a faint sweetness!"
Fang Zhicheng chuckled and said, "There is a well in the community where I live. Every morning around five o'clock, I will draw water from there. Because it is clear well water, it can make tea taste sweet."
Song Wendi nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. But you won't need to do this in the future."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "I do morning exercises every day, so it's just a piece of cake."
"Oh? Xiao Fang, you also have the habit of morning exercises? Let's do it together next time when we are free..." Song Wendi took another sip of tea, then lowered his head and continued to correct documents at his desk.
Song Wendi invited me to do morning exercises together. This was good news. Being able to share the pressure at work with Song Wendi was not a big deal. The key was to integrate into Song Wendi's life, cultivate feelings with him, and gain Song Wendi's trust. Only in this way could I become a qualified secretary.
Not long after Fang Zhicheng sat down, Song Wendi called to ask for Zhou's schedule, so Fang Zhicheng took the one given by Shao Lingfeng and sent it in. Fang Zhicheng read the schedule for a while, and Song Wendi frowned and waved his hand, asking Fang Zhicheng not to continue, then directly dialed a phone and said, "Come over here!"
Five minutes later, Liu Qiangdong hurried in. Song Wendi leaned against the chair and said unhappily, "Qiangdong, take a look at Xiaofang's schedule!"
After Liu Qiangdong took it, he showed surprise on his face and said in disbelief: "This schedule is not the final version." After that, he frowned and scolded Fang Zhicheng: "Didn't I ask the General Office to replace the schedule with a new one? Why did you give the old version to Secretary Song? As a secretary, how could you be so careless?"
Fang Zhicheng's mind flashed with light, and he realized the cause and effect. It turned out that the itinerary that Shao Lingfeng handed to him was deliberately wrong. Later, Shao Lingfeng came into the office again, and he must have put the new itinerary in his office.
Fang Zhicheng could only swallow his anger, because if he defended himself and confronted Shao Lingfeng face to face, Shao Lingfeng would insist on handing the old schedule to Fang Zhicheng personally. Such an ungenerous behavior would make Song Wendi feel disgusted.
Fang Zhicheng remained calm and said softly, "Oh, I'm sorry! The General Office just submitted a supplementary document. Because I wanted to make tea, I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect it to be a new itinerary. I'm sorry, Secretary Song and Secretary Liu, I'll get the new itinerary now." After saying that, Fang Zhicheng hurried out of the office, rummaged on the table for a while, and indeed found the new itinerary among a pile of documents.
I've been tricked!
Although Fang Zhicheng acted cautiously, the other party was unintentional and he still suffered a loss in the end.
Others say that the officialdom is full of intrigue, and that all the old officials are shrewd, treacherous and gloomy. Now Fang Zhicheng has experienced it.
Fang Zhicheng learned from his mistakes and reacted quickly. He realized that apologizing right then was actually the best decision. Given his experience as a newcomer to the industry, even though Song Wendi was dissatisfied, she would definitely be tolerant.
No one is perfect. Who can be without mistakes
Fang Zhicheng used the excuse of making tea for Song Wendi just now, which also reduced Song Wendi's anger a lot. Fang Zhicheng was rash in his work, but that was also caused by his dedicated service to Song Wendi. Although he was not careful enough in handing in the itinerary, the cup of tea was very suitable for his appetite. The merits and demerits offset each other, and Song Wendi's mood would naturally not be too bad, so he would not send himself to the cold palace directly.
Liu Qiangdong originally had many backup plans. He hoped that Fang Zhicheng would deny it outright and then make a big deal out of it. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhicheng made light of the matter and endured the anger. Liu Qiangdong could not continue to escalate the matter. He said in a deep voice: "Xiao Fang, you are still too young. It is difficult for you to meet Secretary Song's requirements if you are so careless at work..."
"Forget it..." Song Wendi frowned and waved his hand, "There are too many things to do, and it's normal to forget. Xiaofang, you go out first, Qiangdong, you stay, I just need to discuss something with you..."
When Liu Qiangdong saw Song Wendi defending Fang Zhicheng, he was shocked and knew that this matter did not achieve the expected effect.
Fang Zhicheng seemed to be calm as he walked out of the door, but he was actually very upset.
Liu Qiangdong pushed the door open and walked out. The other party Zhicheng sneered at him, then left with his pot belly bulging, full of momentum.
Fang Zhicheng seems to have a gentle personality, but in fact he is like a sharp sword, putting Liu Qiangdong on the blacklist.
Another half an hour later, Fang Zhicheng hesitated, knocked on the door and entered the office, wanting to take the opportunity to get some tea to see Song Wendi's expression.
Seeing Fang Zhicheng's eyes dodging, Song Wendi suddenly laughed and said softly, "You are usually very brave, why are you so timid now?"
Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "I made a mistake just now, so..."
Song Wendi waved his hand and said softly: "It shouldn't be your fault just now..."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled. Seeing Song Wendi's unfathomable smile, he wondered if Song Wendi knew everything but he just didn't point it out.
Song Wendi stood up, patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder gently, and said, "I'm not that old and blind. You are a cautious person. If someone sends new information, you will read it even if you are busy."
Fang Zhicheng opened his mouth wide, his eyes showing admiration. Song Wendi could be said to be a man who could predict the future.
Song Wendi added: "If you are like me, you have been in the officialdom for many years and know how to read people's expressions. You can also see other people's psychology from the details." He snorted contemptuously, "Liu Qiangdong thought that his trick could fool me, but he is just being too clever."
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly: "Secretary Song, thank you for your understanding."
"You performed well just now and did not confront Liu Qiangdong face to face. Otherwise, I would have no choice but to criticize you after the incident became a big deal. After all, Liu Qiangdong is the secretary general, and you are still a secretary on probation. You are a person who knows the limits and knows how to make choices and advance and retreat... Although you made a big mistake on the surface just now, deep down I admire you more, so you don't have to be depressed anymore." Song Wendi smiled and said, "Taking advantage of the incident just now, I also discussed with Liu Qiangdong that there is an important matter for you to do. This is a test and a task to prove your own strength. If you can't do it well, according to Liu Qiangdong's intention, you may be asked to leave your current position. Are you sure?"
"Please give your instructions, Secretary Song." Fang Zhicheng's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice with a serious expression.
As it was a matter of staying or leaving, Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that he must do it well, on the one hand to live up to Secretary Song's expectations, and on the other hand to make Liu Qiangdong's plan to drive him away fail.
Chapter 0013: Encountering an affair at the General Office
Song Wendi smiled faintly and said, "In response to the restructuring of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery, the Municipal Party Committee is planning to set up a special working group. I have just discussed with Comrade Qiangdong and have arranged for you to be included in the list of the group. Your future work should focus on this matter and coordinate the completion of this project on my behalf."
Fang Zhicheng was shocked because he didn't expect that Song Wendi would tell him about this. The restructuring of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery was a card played by Song Wendi for the Yuhu Ecological Zone project. It was very important for Song Wendi to control the power of the municipal government. The reason why Song Wendi arranged for him to join the working group was that he wanted to have a more thorough understanding of this project.
Pretending to obey but secretly disobeying is common in official circles, especially since Song Wendi has only been in Yinzhou for a short time and has a shallow foundation. If someone deliberately deceives his superiors and subordinates, Song Wendi will be blinded by the truth.
Song Wendi arranged himself to join the Yinzhou Heavy Machinery Reform Group, which also shows that Fang Zhicheng attaches great importance to him.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, boss, I will definitely complete the task. If there is anything wrong, I will report it to you at any time."
Song Wendi smiled faintly and continued, "The following is about your rank. You have only been in the municipal party committee for a short time, so it is not easy to apply for your rank adjustment for the time being. However, as long as you calm down, there will be good news soon. Although civil servants who want to be promoted must strictly follow the "Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Cadres", some particularly outstanding cadres will still be selected as exceptions."
The rank of a secretary of a municipal party secretary is usually very high, at least at the section level. If the secretary has a deep foundation, he may even reach the division level and serve as the deputy secretary general of the municipal party committee. However, Fang Zhicheng is not even a deputy section chief because of his lack of experience.
Liu Qiangdong had just had a private conversation with Song Wendi, and he obviously questioned Fang Zhicheng's staying in the position of secretary to the municipal party secretary on the issue of rank, but Song Wendi easily blocked it.
