Ye Qingrou's eyes were red, and she muttered, "I've been waiting for you to come back home, but you're out there flirting with other girls. You really have no conscience."

Fang Zhicheng felt a little thirsty, so he ignored Ye Qingrou and went to the kitchen to get a kettle of cold water from the refrigerator. He filled a cup with it, turned around and saw Ye Qingrou sticking to him like a piece of taffy. He smiled bitterly and said, "Little girl, you are about to take the college entrance examination. Why don't you study hard and think about all kinds of nonsense all day long?"

Ye Qingrou walked over and kicked Fang Zhicheng hard in the calf, pouting and sulking.

Fang Zhicheng bent down and rubbed the sore spot. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he saw Ye Qingrou's red eyes with tears welling up in her eyes. He sighed helplessly and said, "I know you're upset recently because of the exams. Relax, try your best to take the exams, and give yourself an explanation. That's enough."

Fang Zhicheng saw that Ye Qingrou was actually feeling anxious because of the upcoming college entrance examination. He had also experienced that kind of anxious and nervous state of mind.

Ye Qingrou whispered, "Why do you think I'm upset because of the exam?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "As a student, you haven't entered society yet, so you can only count the things that bother you."

Ye Qingrou didn't comment, curled her lips, and said softly: "I heard that you are a top student?"

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said with a wry smile: "I know myself well. My IQ is very average. If I don't have a bit of ruthlessness, how can I get out of the siege?" At that time, Fang Zhicheng was ranked in the top ten in the school in the college entrance examination, and in the top thirty in the entire Yinzhou City.

Ye Qingrou glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said softly, "Unfortunately, I'm too smart, so I don't need to study."

"What kind of logic is this?" Fang Zhicheng couldn't figure it out.

Ye Qingrou sighed softly, "I have never been ranked second in exams since I was a child, and this has become even more so since I entered high school. As time has passed, I have become unwilling to study. No matter how I take the exam, others can never beat me, so the teachers in school don't really care about me..."

Fang Zhicheng widened his eyes, looked Ye Qingrou up and down, and said with a wry smile: "So this is the reason why you deliberately learned bad things!"

Lu Wanyu had mentioned to Fang Zhicheng before that Ye Qingrou had a good IQ, and it was a bit difficult for Lu Wanyu to guide her. However, Fang Zhicheng had never thought that Ye Qingrou's IQ would be so evil.

The world is not fair. God always favors some people with outstanding talents. Ye Qingrou's learning ability is enviable, but she doesn't care about it, which is really unacceptable.

Ye Qingrou sighed and said, "My father wants to send me abroad, but I want to stay in China..." In fact, Ye Qingrou was not worried about the upcoming college entrance examination. She was upset that after the college entrance examination, she would most likely be sent abroad by Ye Mingjing.

Fang Zhicheng stared at Ye Qingrou's delicate and lovely face, and his eyes finally fell on her tall and small nose. He promised: "Do your best in the exam first. After the college entrance examination, I will go with you to find your father and help you persuade him."

A smile appeared on Ye Qingrou's lips, and she sighed softly, "I just like your confidence. If someone else said this, I might be skeptical, but if you say it out loud, I believe you can help me convince him."

Fang Zhicheng shrugged, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Qingrou on the head, then thought that the action was too intimate, and awkwardly withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly. However, he never expected that Ye Qingrou would take the initiative to throw herself into Fang Zhicheng's arms, and immediately a burst of soft and greasy feeling filled Fang Zhicheng's whole body.

Chapter 0139 Thesis stirs up a storm

Recently, Fang Zhicheng often goes to Nanyuan Old Street. Although Fang Zhicheng is a native of Yinzhou, his understanding of Nanyuan Old Street was superficial. When he went deep into the hinterland of this old street, he found that it was full of unique cultural heritage. An ordinary mud brick on the old street may have its own story. With the changes of the city, Nanyuan Old Street has gone from glory to decline, quietly explaining the history of social development.

There is a Taoist temple on Nanyuan Old Street, which was built in the late Northern Song Dynasty. From the outside, it is already very dilapidated, with mottled mud walls and damaged green tiles. There is an old Taoist in the temple, whose Taoist name is Chen Yi. He has a good relationship with Li Dehan and Tong Mengyuan. They gather in the temple to cook wine, brew tea, and play chess with friends.

The reason why Li Dehan was fascinated by Ma Yi's physiognomy was because of the Taoist priest Chen Yi who guided him into the profession. Li Dehan wanted Chen Yi to see Fang Zhicheng's face, so he brought Fang Zhicheng to see it once. Chen Yi saw that Fang Zhicheng had a unique bone structure and a wealthy face, so he wanted to make friends with Fang Zhicheng.

After spending some time together, Fang Zhicheng discovered that Chen Yi had good calligraphy skills. He remembered that his boss Song Wendi was quite fond of this art, so he deliberately pestered Chen Yi to learn from him. Chen Yi was willing to do so. Seeing that Fang Zhicheng had some basic skills, he selected several good inscriptions and calligraphy from the book cabinet and asked Fang Zhicheng to copy them.

The key to calligraphy is persistence. Talent is important, but pen power must be practiced. Fang Zhicheng learned calligraphy from Chen Yi and gradually became addicted. He felt uncomfortable and itchy if he didn't practice a few dozen characters every day.

Seeing that Fang Zhicheng had good perseverance, Li Dehan deliberately guided Fang Zhicheng to play Go. Fang Zhicheng's Go skills were far from those of a master, but he had a good temper and a strong learning ability. Every time he lost, he had a very good attitude, which made Li Dehan and Tong Mengyuan willing to play Go with him.

I work or study at the Party School every day. After get off work, I hang out in Nanyuan Old Street and occasionally have a meal at Tong Siqing's house. This kind of life is quite comfortable.

Time flies, and another month has passed. Ye Qingrou still hasn't moved out of the villa. After the college entrance examination, she stayed at home every day. Her cousin Ye Meizi has not gotten over the frustration of regretting her marriage, and she lives with Ye Qingrou. During the process, Fang Zhicheng specially found Ye Mingjing once and talked in detail about Ye Qingrou's going abroad. Ye Mingjing's attitude was better than expected. Although he didn't directly reject his opinion, he also gave Ye Qingrou some time to let her be quiet.

In fact, from the parents' point of view, going abroad is a good choice, especially for a family with such a complex network of relationships as the Ye family. The building might collapse one day, and if Ye Qingrou is abroad at that time, she might be able to avoid the storm.

Of course, in addition to these fragmented and fulfilling lives, Fang Zhicheng's passion for work and study never fades. Seeing that He Yang had some grudges in his heart, he still took some of the more core matters of the office into his own hands and took charge of them. In addition, Fang Zhicheng also polished a high-quality graduation thesis for the Party School training class.

This article seems to be biased towards the left, but in fact it is on the right. It believes that the market economy is developing faster, but in order to maintain its advanced nature for a long time, it is still necessary to strengthen the party spirit of party members. The article cites many examples of party members' corruption due to advocating economic development, and deeply expresses the urgency of departments at all levels to seize the opportunity to cultivate party spirit.

At the same time, in the part about the development of market economy, the next direction of reform is pointed out. First, accelerate the reform of administrative system and effectively transform the functions of government. Second, improve the basic economic system with public ownership as the main body and the common development of multiple ownership economies. Third, build a modern market system with unity, openness, competition and order. Fourth, accelerate the reform of financial system. Fifth, deepen the reform of fiscal, taxation and investment system. Sixth, improve the system and mechanism that is conducive to the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, regions, economy and society.

Most graduation theses seek to be safe, but Fang Zhicheng's paper was sharp and bold. Both the severity of party spirit cultivation and the open-minded thinking on the development of the market economy surprised many people. Qiu Hengde, deputy director of the Municipal Party School, was the first person to see this paper. After reading it carefully, he was even more shocked and hurriedly delivered the paper to Song Wendi personally.

Song Wendi read the paper carefully and made an important decision. He recommended the paper to Huainan Qingfeng and added his own name to the list of authors.

Huainan Qingfeng is an important internal propaganda magazine in Huainan Province. Although it is not publicly distributed, it has a very important position in the province. Song Wendi added his own signature not to compete with Fang Zhicheng for the limelight, but to bring pressure to himself. After all, Fang Zhicheng is just a small secretary and is not confident enough to bear the risk of this article.

Song Wendi is a scholar-official with a solid theoretical foundation. His starting point for the macro-economic part of this article is very high, going beyond the regional perspective and taking national policies into consideration.

The paper caused an immediate sensation and triggered a province-wide discussion on the development of the market economy and the strengthening of party spirit.

In early August, Vice Premier Guo Heping went to Huainan Province for research and visited its 12 cities and prefectures, saw the achievements of Huainan Province's reform and development, and expressed high praise. In particular, when in Yinzhou, Vice Premier Guo commented on and praised Comrade Song Wendi's paper on developing the market economy and strengthening party spirit, and believed that Yinzhou's perspective was very high and worthy of learning from the whole country.

After returning to the capital, Vice Premier Guo delivered a speech at a reform forum hosted by the National Development and Reform Commission, pointing out the current focus of deepening reform and putting forward six important opinions, five of which were consistent with the views in the paper jointly signed by Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Wendi and his secretary.

The implication is obvious. The development of Yinzhou has been included in the national vision and has officially stood out from the twelve prefecture-level cities. The important deployment made by Huainan Provincial Party Committee Secretary Li Siyuan a year ago to transfer his trusted general Song Wendi to Yinzhou was undoubtedly correct.

The six-point plan for deepening reform will be piloted first in Yinzhou. As a pilot city, it can enjoy many preferential policies. With the support of national resources and financial subsidies, Yinzhou's second take-off will undoubtedly be realized.

For Li Siyuan, he also won the final victory in this confrontation. Wang Guoyong, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee's party group, challenged Li Siyuan's authority and ended in failure. Relying on the outstanding achievements made in Yinzhou, Li Siyuan increased the ties between Huainan Province and Yunhai City. As for Wang Guoyong's plan to create a new economic highlight in the Qiongjin urban agglomeration, it was gradually weakened and did not achieve the expected results.

In early August, under Fang Zhicheng's persuasion, Qin Yuming put down her work at Yuming Dance School and took a few days off. The two spent a short vacation in Xiayu Town, a famous tourist destination in Weibei Province. Because of this trip, their feelings for each other doubled.

For Fang Zhicheng, the most painful days of "stealing through the wall" have passed. Now that the beauty is by his side, he can calm down more and enjoy the romantic time with Qin Yuming.

The training course at the Municipal Party School has ended, and Fang Zhicheng's resume has been brightened up. Fang Zhicheng knows that Song Wendi made such an arrangement in preparation for an exceptional promotion of Fang Zhicheng. After all, Fang Zhicheng is too young. He was promoted to a deputy section-level cadre last year. If he is promoted to a full section-level cadre without a transition, it will be difficult to stop criticism from others.
