Seeing Tong Siqing's half-angry and half-happy look, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel excited. He thought to himself, no wonder everyone says that young women are the most charming. Just based on the charm between her eyebrows, even a Daluo Jinxian would be tempted. Everyone has different preferences. Perhaps because he grew up in a single-parent family and depended on his mother, Fang Zhicheng has an Oedipus complex in his heart, so he is particularly gentle to mature women.
Tong Siqing saw Fang Zhicheng staring at her intently, her face flushed, and she said angrily: "What are you looking at, you little brat? Is there gold on my face?"
Fang Zhicheng came back to his senses, thinking he had misheard something, and muttered, "How can sperm get on my face? Sister Siqing, you are too heavy-handed."
Tong Siqing was not an innocent girl, so she could hear the hidden meaning of these words. She was furious and was about to punch Fang Zhicheng, but she saw He Yang walking in. He Yang was slightly startled, and then a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Tong Siqing coughed dryly and returned to her dignified appearance.
Chapter 0137 Cold Husband Enthusiastic Colleague
Compared with a year ago, Fang Zhicheng has indeed changed a lot. He has become more slick-tongued as he has been in the officialdom. To get by in the officialdom is to have a good mouth. Even if you are very capable and reliable, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the officialdom without a slick tongue.
You should be good at expressing your own opinions and views. If you keep them in your heart, you will never accomplish anything. Therefore, the interview is very important in the civil service examination. Often the supervisor will interview in person to examine the candidate's reaction and expression skills on the spot.
When one's position reaches a certain level, speaking skills become even more important. Whether one is good at speaking determines one's ability to do ideological work. Some leaders can speak for two or three hours without boring others, which is an innate talent.
Fang Zhicheng had ranked first in the civil service written examination and had a very high score in the interview. If he spoke freely, he would probably have few rivals in the entire municipal party committee compound. However, as the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary, he had to be careful with his words and actions. Therefore, he now mainly used his mouth to talk about romantic matters, which diverted its function.
After get off work, Fang Zhicheng took Tong Siqing to Nanyuan Old Street. Tong Siqing saw that Fang Zhicheng drove skillfully and at a moderate speed, and smiled and said, "Looking at your driving experience, it hasn't been long, but you drive like a master."
Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly, glanced at Tong Siqing, and whispered: "Driving is related to experience. If you often sit in the passenger seat of the municipal party secretary's driver, you will be able to drive very steadily by yourself."
Tong Siqing smiled and said, "You really sound very experienced. If I weren't familiar with you, I would really think you were a veteran who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years."
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sister Siqing, are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Of course I'm praising you. It's better to be mature at a young age than to be over forty but ignorant of the ways of the world." Tong Siqing seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly.
Fang Zhicheng vaguely realized that Tong Siqing's marriage life with her husband Li Mingxue did not seem particularly harmonious.
Living at home, there are daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, pots and pans, and the clanging of trivial things in every household. Li Mingxue is a pedantic person who is out of touch with the world and has a very individual personality in dealing with people and things. Honesty is a compliment, but it also carries a derogatory meaning. Therefore, it is understandable that Tong Siqing encounters conflicts when getting along with him.
Fang Zhicheng not only made Li Mingxue sweat, but there were too many temptations in society these days. Although Tong Siqing was very sensible and never flirted with other men, if she met an experienced man who was familiar with women's psychology, she would be willing to use some tricks...
Nanyuan Old Street is about ten kilometers away from the Municipal Party Committee compound. Half an hour later, the Jetta stopped at the entrance of the street. Fang Zhicheng came to Li's house with some fruits. There was a hearty laugh from inside the house. He walked in and saw two old men playing chess in the living room. Li Mingxue and a group of relatives were watching the game with a purple clay teapot.
Fang Zhicheng roughly guessed the origins of the two old men. They were considered local celebrities in Yinzhou. If they were placed in ancient times, they could be described as great scholars. One was Li Mingxue's father Li Dehan, and the other was Tong Siqing's father Tong Mengyuan.
Li Dehan once served as the dean of Yinzhou Chess Academy and trained more than ten national players. In the late 1990s, Go players from Goryeo were very popular. When they visited China, they defeated many Go masters. As a result, Li Dehan took three disciples to Beijing and achieved a record of two wins and one draw, safeguarding the dignity of the country. He was also received by the state leaders at that time.
Tong Mengyuan is an intellectual who returned from studying abroad in the 1970s. After a brief turmoil in the 1980s, he served as deputy director of the Yinzhou R&D Center of the 214 Institute of China North Industries Group Corporation. He has been retired for more than ten years. Under his promotion, all indicators of the Yinzhou R&D Center were ahead of others, which once changed the evolution process of Chinese weapons and accelerated the pace of catching up with developed countries. His name is also engraved in the merit book of the Republic.
Fang Zhicheng felt very excited to meet these two old men. The value of these two people cannot be measured by economics. Their social value far exceeds that of some celebrities on the rich list.
Li Dehan and Tong Mengyuan were close friends. Because of their similar personalities, their children became in-laws. After retirement, the two often played Go together. Although Tong Mengyuan majored in mechanics, he was very smart. At first, he learned Go from Li Dehan, but because he had a master like Li Dehan to practice with him every day for more than ten years, he developed amazing Go skills. Occasionally, Tong Mengyuan would go to Yinzhou Go Academy to give guidance to Li Dehan's disciples.
The appearances of the two old men were also quite special. Li Dehan had a bald head and a long beard, and wore a white Tang suit with buttons, which gave him the demeanor of an old artist. Tong Mengyuan wore a white shirt and a black western-style vest, and his slightly sparse hair looked shiny black because of the ointment he applied.
The game was at its end, Li Dehan was in the lead with white pieces, while Tong Mengyuan was at a slight disadvantage with black pieces, but there was still a chance to turn the tables. However, Li Dehan was experienced after all, and took advantage of his advantage, not giving up an inch, and eventually won by one and a half points over Tong Mengyuan.
Tong Mengyuan swept the chess pieces into the chess box and said with a helpless smile: "Old Li, you played the game too smartly today. If I made a slight mistake, I would have no chance anymore."
Li Dehan smiled proudly and said, "Who made you make a mistake? When competing on the chessboard, remember not to be careless."
Tong Mengyuan curled his lips and complained, "Isn't it because the braised pork your wife made is too fragrant?"
Old people are like children. The older they get, the more childish they speak. Tong Mengyuan's words caused everyone to laugh.
Tong Siqing saw that the game of chess was over and said with a smile: "The table is ready, Dad, why don't you guys come to the table?"
Li Dehan nodded, and seeing a young man standing next to Tong Siqing who looked unfamiliar, he asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
Li Mingxue patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder and introduced him, "This is Siqing's colleague, Fang Zhicheng!"
Tong Mengyuan stared at Fang Zhicheng from head to toe and said with a smile, "He's a very energetic young man."
Li Dehan nodded secretly. He read some unconventional books when he had nothing to do. He had studied Ma Yi's physiognomy in depth. From the perspective of physiognomy, Fang Zhicheng's cheekbones were bright, smooth and full. The cheekbones represented aspirations, ambitions and power, which showed that Fang Zhicheng had great ambitions. His cheekbones extended to his temples. The part at the end of his eyes was divided into two parts, which looked like Yima bones, representing an extraordinary life. His eyebrows were delicate, the black and white in his eyes were clear, and the corners of his eyes were full and intact, which showed his agility and super learning ability...
Tong Mengyuan saw that Li Dehan had been staring at Fang Zhicheng and asked softly, "Old Li, why are you addicted again?"
Tong Mengyuan was already accustomed to the fact that Li Dehan often observed the faces of strangers. In physiognomy, it was difficult to tell the true face of someone close to you, because analysis based on emotion would ultimately lack objectivity, so Li Dehan often caught strangers to study them.
Li Dehan hummed and sighed: "This boy's appearance is extraordinary!"
"Oh? Where is Bufan?" Tong Mengyuan became curious.
Li Dehan laughed and said, "Why don't you say I'm a charlatan today?"
Tong Mengyuan curled his lips and snorted, “You old guy, you can say whatever you want!”
Li Dehan whispered, "This kid must have suffered a lot of setbacks when he was young. After he turns 25, he will gradually get on the right track. After he turns 30, he will be even smoother. He is invaluable."
Tong Mengyuan smacked his lips and whispered, "This is the first time I've heard you comment on someone like this."
Li Dehan smiled to himself and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Tong Siqing is celebrating her 30th birthday tonight. In Yinzhou, there is a custom that a woman's 30th birthday is extremely important. If the husband's family does not hold a grand celebration, they will not be able to make a fortune.
However, there were not many guests today, only six tables in total, and Fang Zhicheng was pulled by Li Mingxue to sit at the main table. Li Mingxue was not very good at socializing, so he just drank in silence. However, guests came here one after another to toast, so he kept getting up with Fang Zhicheng to deal with the situation.
