Li Siyuan sighed and whispered, "This is the compensation given to him by the Ning family. I didn't expect him to refuse it like this. Well, I'll call Mr. Ning back later."
Song Wendi smiled and said, "How can I easily repay a favor I owe you? In fact, I think it's good for Fang Zhicheng to not want this favor now, for his long-term development."
Li Siyuan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "You are a smart guy."
Chapter 0149: Prospects of Dance School
Fang Zhicheng was able to get the opportunity to study at the Central Party School Graduate School, not because of Li Siyuan's efforts. In fact, it was the old man of the Ning family who saw Fang Zhicheng's graduation thesis at the Municipal Party School training and recommended him to Xiang Mingyi, the vice president of the Party School. Xiang Mingyi was an old subordinate of Mr. Ning and respected him very much. After carefully reading the thesis, he recognized Fang Zhicheng's ability and therefore proposed to make an exception and recruit Fang Zhicheng to the Central Party School Graduate School.
On the one hand, Mr. Ning wanted to train Fang Zhicheng into his own person, and on the other hand, he also wanted to compensate Fang Zhicheng for saving his granddaughter Ning Xiangcao's life.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know that his study at the Central Party School was actually related to the state elder Mr. Ning. He just felt that at this stage, he still needed to settle down and make some achievements in his position as secretary of the municipal party committee secretary.
After all, a brilliant resume is just a beautiful packaging shell. The officialdom ultimately requires real achievements. He believes that working under Song Wendi will allow him to learn much more than at the Central Party School. This is a pragmatic choice.
From Song Wendi's perspective, he was used to Fang Zhicheng assisting him. If he let him go to the Central Party School, he would be like losing an arm, and his work would be more difficult. Moreover, as long as Fang Zhicheng did not settle the "favors" with the Ning family, the relationship between Fang Zhicheng and the Ning family would not be completely severed. This was a good result for both Li Siyuan and Song Wendi.
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhicheng actually rejected his kindness. After Li Siyuan finished speaking, Mr. Ning smiled and sighed, "This little Fang is really interesting. I am becoming more and more curious about him."
Li Siyuan pretended to be angry and said, "This kid has no vision. Every year, people who want to enter the Central Party School's graduate program are scrambling for it, but he actually gave up this opportunity. It's really unwise."
Li Siyuan was still surprised that Mr. Ning took a liking to Fang Zhicheng. After all, this is what many people dream of.
Elder Ning waved his hand and said calmly, "Siyuan, don't use this method to cover up for Xiaofang. Since he doesn't want to accept the favor of my Ning family yet, it doesn't matter. This is a good seedling, you must cultivate him carefully."
Li Siyuan nodded and chuckled, "We will naturally protect those who deserve your special attention, Mr. Ning."
Ning Lao pondered for a moment and said, "The inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection going to Huainan this time is composed of some heavyweights and they are very aggressive. As the top leader, you must be careful to deal with them."
Li Siyuan was slightly startled. Since 2003, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee have set up inspection teams, and they would conduct open and secret inspections in provinces and cities at irregular intervals every year. This was not a new thing, but as one of the important leaders of the country and a member of the Central Advisory Commission, Mr. Ning had a very high status in China, so he must have heard some rumors.
Li Siyuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Ning."
With Mr. Ning's advice, Li Siyuan began to make arrangements. As expected, since mid-July 2005, the country has ushered in an anti-corruption storm that is far more severe than in the past. As an economically developed region, the central inspection team's investigation of Huainan was particularly strict... Fortunately, Li Siyuan took precautions early, conducted self-inspection and self-correction in advance, and minimized the negative impact, so that the Huainan officialdom would not be seriously damaged.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know that his name had already been noticed by Li Siyuan. Also because of his relationship, Li Siyuan learned the information in advance from Mr. Ning. Li Siyuan prepared for the future and defuse a conspiracy planned by his political enemy, Deputy Secretary Wang Guoyong and others, which involved the intervention of central forces and was very likely to shake Li Siyuan's position in Huainan.
…
In late July, the weather became hotter. The weather forecast kept predicting rain, but it didn't fall. Song Wendi went back to Qiongjin to attend a relative's wedding banquet on the weekend, so Fang Zhicheng had a quiet weekend. After Ye Qingrou, the little witch, left the villa, it was indeed a bit deserted. Fang Zhicheng found that he couldn't help thinking of her sometimes, but he still hardened his heart and didn't call Ye Qingrou.
Ye Qingrou estimated that she would be flying abroad in a while. Since they would be strangers in the future, there was no need to get entangled.
Around 3pm, Fang Zhicheng drove his Jetta to Yuming Dance School. When he passed the security room, Dingzi called him and Fang Zhicheng handed him a cigarette, "How is it going?"
Dingzi lit a cigarette skillfully, and then lit one for Fang Zhicheng, saying with a smile, "He's still sharpening it. That kid is pretty smart. Isn't the school on summer vacation recently? He's so elusive that we can't find any trace of him."
Fang Zhicheng patted Dingzi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble. I will treat you to a good meal after I get the money back."
Dingzi waved his hands, patted his chest, and sighed, "Of course I have to take care of Sister Wanyu's affairs. That guy has let me fail several times, and I must make him pay back double with interest."
Fang Zhicheng tilted his head and asked in confusion: "How much money did you ask him for?"
Nail chuckled and stretched out his hand to gesture, "Not much, fifty thousand."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that it was no wonder that Song Mingyu was scared away. In 2005, the normal family income was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Dingzi wanted 50,000 yuan at once, which would cost Song Mingyu his life. Song Mingyu knew that Dingzi was not an ordinary person, and he did not dare to confront him head-on. He could only take advantage of the summer vacation to run to another city to avoid the limelight.
Fang Zhicheng kept silent, thinking that evil people need evil people to deal with, so he let Dingzi torture Song Mingyu. He was still very confident that Dingzi could do this, after all, he was a veteran in Yinzhou, so he naturally had a way to deal with a college student.
In fact, Fang Zhicheng didn't necessarily want Dingzi to get the breakup fee back, he just wanted to vent Lu Wanyu's anger.
How precious is a person's first love, and Lu Wanyu's first love was destroyed by this bad boy, which is really infuriating. Fang Zhicheng has quietly regarded Lu Wanyu as his sister psychologically. If his sister is bullied outside, it is natural for him as a brother to stand up for her.
Fang Zhicheng talked to Dingzi for a few more words, then went upstairs to the dance studio. There were three dance studios in total. Since the summer vacation, the number of students increased sharply, so starting from the morning, there were people practicing dance in the three dance studios at almost every time. The school teachers also increased from the original five to the current ten. Each teacher taught one to two classes a day, and the salary was linked to the class hours, not less than 100 yuan per hour, which attracted many teachers from the School of Arts of Yinzhou University to come here to work part-time.
Qin Yuming rarely teaches in person now, focusing on management and the quality of teaching. Fang Zhicheng finally saw Qin Yuming in one of the rooms. She stood behind a group of students with her arms folded and a serious face, while a yoga teacher was leading the students to do some more difficult movements in front of her.
Yoga classes have now become a featured course in dance academies. Because yoga can beautify the body and improve fitness, it has attracted many women to sign up.
Qin Yuming seemed to notice that a certain student's movements were not in place, so she walked over slowly, helped her gracefully, and did an auxiliary movement until she was satisfied. Then she returned to her original position again so as not to interfere too much with the teacher's teaching on the stage.
Qin Yuming braided her long hair, revealing her broad, white forehead. She wore a light purple tight dance costume, which made her figure look tall and well-proportioned.
I don’t know how long it took, Qin Yuming looked up through the glass and saw Fang Zhicheng standing on the other side of the door. She smiled slightly and then quietly left the classroom.
"Isn't it beautiful? How about I let you look at it for a while longer?" Qin Yuming nodded towards the classroom.
Fang Zhicheng shrugged, stared at Qin Yuming's delicate and round face, and sighed: "Sister Ming, don't get me wrong. I've been watching you. Although there are many women, they can only be regarded as supporting roles around you."
"You're teasing me again!" Qin Yuming stretched out her finger and flicked Fang Zhicheng's forehead, saying with a smile.
Fang Zhicheng and Qin Yuming came to the office and sat for a while. Fang Zhicheng told Qin Yuming about his future development plan for the dance school. Qin Yuming originally just wanted to run a small-scale training class. The dance school is so popular now, all thanks to Fang Zhicheng's advice and help in publicity.
"Sister Ming, have you ever thought about turning Yuming Dance School into a gathering place for the best and highest quality dance talents in the country?" Fang Zhicheng was extremely relaxed in front of Qin Yuming, crossing his legs and leisurely blowing a puff of smoke.
Qin Yuming looked troubled and sighed softly, "This is not something that can be done easily, right?"
Fang Zhicheng flicked the ash off his cigarette and said confidently, "We are still mainly focusing on fitness. Although we can make a lot of money, the level is a little low. If our school can provide first-class dance talents, and then provide dance programs for various entertainment activities across the country, and even have the ability to package dance stars, this is a more advanced positioning."
