Dingzi muttered a few words, in a very low mood, and was obviously unwilling to give up. After a long time, he sighed and asked, "How much did that scumbag take from Wanyu as a breakup fee?"
Fang Zhicheng frowned and thought for a moment, remembering that Lu Wanyu had never mentioned it, so he said, "Thousands? Tens of thousands? I didn't ask clearly, and Wanyu was too embarrassed to say."
Dingzi hummed and said, "Okay, I have to make that guy bleed a little, otherwise he won't learn his lesson and will probably harm more girls."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and didn't say much. He thought to himself that Dingzi had actually harmed more girls than Song Mingyu, not less. The only difference was that Dingzi was responsible in dealing with matters between men and women and always ended things amicably, while Song Mingyu was too insidious, a scumbag and a mean person.
Chapter 0148: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Fang Zhicheng thought that he could only use cruel means to force Song Mingyu to bow his head, otherwise, in a few years, he would inevitably become a playboy like Lin He. Of course, everyone has his own way of life. Fang Zhicheng is not a troublemaker. Some men like to flirt with women, and some women like to attract bees and butterflies and tease men. This has nothing to do with Fang Zhicheng. The key is that Song Mingyu offended Lu Wanyu.
Back at the library, Lu Wanyu was still looking up information. Her dark hair was tied into a strand and pinned behind her ears, revealing her fair and charming face. Fang Zhicheng did not disturb her, but took the Wealth of Nations and found a corner to slowly read it. About three hours later, the library was about to close, and Lu Wanyu raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Zhicheng walked over with a smile and sighed, "You finally got it done?"
Lu Wanyu nodded, and said with a little guilt: "Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled, "I haven't spent so much time in the library in a long time. Thank you for letting me relive my campus life."
Lu Wanyu's beautiful eyes moved, and she whispered: "It seems that you have a lot of memories in the library during your college days..."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "When I was in college, I focused on studying and had no time to create romance, so I have no memories to speak of."
Lu Wanyu smiled, picked up the books in front of her, and put them back to their original places. Fang Zhicheng then returned "The Wealth of Nations" to the economic zone. After going out, he saw Lu Wanyu carrying a small bag, waiting for him quietly.
At this moment, Fang Zhicheng was distracted, as if he had returned to his college days, when he and Lu Wanyu were like those young lovers, walking together in the library. To be honest, Fang Zhicheng had envied those people, but he had a strong will and knew that he was not qualified to fall in love, so he remained single. Now, have I made up for the regrets of my college days
…
The next afternoon, after the Standing Committee meeting ended, Fang Zhicheng sat in the inner room with Song Wendi, drinking tea and chatting casually, talking about the history of China. Song Wendi was very knowledgeable in history, and Fang Zhicheng was lucky to read a wide variety of books, so he was able to keep up with him when chatting.
If you want to be a confidant secretary, it is also crucial to keep the same level of thinking with your boss. If your boss talks to you and you are irrelevant, it will inevitably spoil the mood, and over time, the boss will not want to communicate with you too much.
Song Wendi prefers historical books from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is particularly fond of the famous military works of that era. The struggles between countries, between the emperor and the prime minister, between the emperor and generals, and between the prime minister and generals are all very complicated.
Political struggles were particularly exciting during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a period when Chinese civilization flourished. It was common to see strategists shine. Although many strategies were still crude, if you study them carefully, you will find that the subsequent thousands of years of struggle in China almost all originated from this. A simple sentence can make the king bow his head. It seems incredible, but if you delve into the connotation, you can still draw inferences from other cases.
Song Wendi has been studying pre-Qin history for a long time, while Fang Zhicheng read mostly books on Qing Dynasty history in college. The atmosphere was extremely lively when the two discussed one new and one old. However, Fang Zhicheng was still far behind Song Wendi in terms of knowledge and was unable to defeat Song Wendi in debate.
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, it is worth studying the mentality. The most famous one is the "Emperor's Daily Notes". The struggles between the emperor and his subjects, and between his subjects, are mostly hidden. The way of balance has reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, and most of the political struggles today are derived from this.
The reason why Fang Zhicheng could not defeat Song Wendi in an argument was that Song Wendi had studied the art of diplomacy too deeply. He could explain any example with famous sayings from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although Fang Zhicheng had also studied the history of the Qing Dynasty, he was not able to quote from classics.
However, Song Wendi had a different opinion of Fang Zhicheng's profound historical knowledge. After all, there were very few young people nowadays who could calm down and study. He smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Fang, I didn't expect that you have such a deep study of the art of diplomacy."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and whispered, "I just read it for fun. Unlike the boss, if he wrote a book, he would be much more accomplished than those experts."
Song Wendi waved his hands and laughed softly, "This is not a good flattery. Everyone has their own expertise. I can be a good official, but that doesn't mean I can be a good writer."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "Nowadays, many leaders like to write books. Wasn't it reported a while ago that a county party secretary wrote a book on party history and theory, and it sold tens of thousands of copies?"
Song Wendi shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "This is the terrible thing about power. With power, many people's selfish desires will turn into desires. The reason why the county party secretary was able to become a best-selling author was not because of his real talent, but because he used the power in his hands to put pressure on the grassroots in his jurisdiction. This is actually a disguised form of power corruption."
Song Wendi was a very wise official, and for these reasons, Fang Zhicheng was particularly loyal to him. Song Wendi was very talented and had a good hand in calligraphy, but he was always low-key when he was out for research. When someone asked Song Wendi to give him calligraphy, he always declined politely.
Song Wendi has a clear position on himself. He is just an official, not a calligrapher, historian or writer. For him, whether he can realize the value of life depends on how to improve the economic level of the area he governs and the living conditions of the people.
Song Wendi stared at Fang Zhicheng and suddenly asked, "Xiao Fang, how about letting you go out and study for a while?"
"Ah? Boss, I just came back not long ago." Fang Zhicheng was very surprised, because it was only two or three months since the last party school training ended. Why would Song Wendi think of letting him go out to study again
Song Wendi shook his head and smiled, "From the perspective of my own work, I hope you can stay by my side, but considering your future, I still have to provide you with more learning opportunities so that you can show your talents in the future."
Fang Zhicheng naturally knew what Song Wendi meant by this, and said with a wry smile: "Boss, although theory is important, it must be combined with practice to achieve twice the result with half the effort. I just graduated from college for a year and went back to school again. I'm afraid that I will become stupid and become a nerd because of studying too much."
Although going to study can improve Fang Zhicheng's qualifications, Fang Zhicheng subconsciously believes that staying with Song Wendi will give him more room for development. After all, he has gained Song Wendi's trust. In two or three years, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to become a regular cadre. After five years, he will be assigned to a county as a deputy division-level cadre. This sense of steadiness makes Fang Zhicheng feel more at ease.
Song Wendi took a sip of tea and said, "In fact, it was not my idea to let you pursue further studies. The influence of your graduation paper in the training class of the Municipal Party School exceeded expectations, and it was even placed on the desk of Xiang Mingyi, the vice president of the Central Party School. President Xiang instructed that young cadres like you with a solid theoretical foundation should be trained as a priority."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect that his paper would have such a high status in the eyes of the leaders.
Song Wendi continued, "Of course, this is also what Secretary Siyuan actively fought for you. Without his recommendation, Principal Xiang would not have been able to see the paper. Xiaofang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, because if you enter the Central Party School to study, it means that you will become a reserve cadre at the national level. The platform will be higher, and the speed of promotion and future potential will be unpredictable."
If he went to study at the Central Party School, it would mean that he would have to leave Yinzhou. Fang Zhicheng suddenly felt complicated. He pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "Boss, can I refuse this opportunity?"
Song Wendi was slightly stunned, stared at Fang Zhicheng seriously, and said, "Xiao Fang, this is a good opportunity. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life."
Song Wendi did not expect Fang Zhicheng to refuse. Fang Zhicheng was a smart man and it was impossible for him not to know that this was an opportunity to make a big leap forward. At the Central Party School, he would have the opportunity to contact and communicate with many provincial, ministerial and prefectural leaders who were also studying at the school; every week he would hear long reports given by ministers, deputy ministers and even national leaders from various central ministries at the Party School; and he would often hear reports given at the Central Party School by foreign leaders visiting China.
Vision determines the way out, height determines the future. These are the unique advantages of the Central Party School that cannot be matched by any other place.
Fang Zhicheng shook his head firmly and whispered, "Boss, I would rather stay by your side, take one step at a time, and make some real achievements. Although resume is important, it is not the most urgent thing for me right now."
Seeing Fang Zhicheng's decision, Song Wendi's eyes flashed with disappointment. He immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Fang, I respect your wishes. I will call Secretary Siyuan later and report your thoughts to him truthfully."
After Fang Zhicheng sat for a while, he said goodbye and left. Song Wendi picked up the phone and called Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan was also very surprised to hear that Fang Zhicheng refused the opportunity to go to the Central Party School.
Li Siyuan touched his chin and sighed, "Xiao Fang, I've met him twice. He's a very smart young comrade. How could he be so confused about this matter?"
Song Wendi pondered for a moment and said softly, "I guess Yinzhou has something he can't let go of."
