Cheng Bin was silent and thoughtful, trying hard to recall everything that happened last night, but his memory was only fragmentary, fragmented and scattered. As for how the lipstick marks were made, he couldn't remember at all.

"Wife, I drank too much last night and I really can't remember anything." Cheng Bin said distressedly.

Seeing that Cheng Bin still refused to give in, Geng Hong pointed at his nose and said angrily, "You shameless fellow, not only did you go to a prostitute, but you even didn't bring all the money with you, and you were chased by a prostitute and everyone in this community knew about it. How could I have met such a useless fellow like you?"

"Ah?" Cheng Bin's eyes widened, and he finally understood what he heard. He originally thought that the lipstick was left by Qin Yuming, but now it sounded like it was left by a prostitute. He was suddenly a little dazed, "Wife, you must have misunderstood. How could I go for a health check? I clearly went for..."

"Where are you going?" Geng Hong asked with a frown.

Cheng Bin swallowed his words. If Geng Hong knew that he went to find Qin Yuming and wanted to get back together, the consequences would be even more disastrous. Cheng Bin gritted his teeth and said, "I just found a chair on the side of the road and lay down for a while. I didn't do anything!"

Seeing that the facts were before him and Geng Bin still refused to admit his fault, Geng Hong became furious and rushed over, stretched out her fingers, and scratched Cheng Bin's face several times. Cheng Bin did not dare to fight back, but only felt a burning sensation on his face.

Geng Hong struggled for a while until she was out of strength, then she covered her face and burst into tears. After she left the room, she saw her mother-in-law holding her son. She angrily snatched the child away and rushed out of the house without looking back.

Cheng Bin was still drunk, and he staggered out the door. Seeing his mother's face full of disappointment, he said in a low and hoarse voice, "Mom, it's okay. I'll go and coax her back in a few days."

Mother Cheng sighed heavily, wiped away her tears, and said, "Bin, can you live a more down-to-earth life? You already have a son, why are you still looking for prostitutes? You can't go to that kind of place, it's too dirty."

Seeing that his mother suspected that he had gone to be a prostitute, Cheng Bin laughed bitterly and staggered into the bathroom. He looked up and saw his miserable self in the mirror. He couldn't help but laugh at himself and muttered, "That's good. I've given up hope. Qin Yuming, you're really cruel this time. I hope you can stay this cruel in the future so that you won't be bullied by others."

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes. Cheng Bin knew that he was crying this time because he was extremely heartbroken.

Animals also have feelings, let alone Cheng Bin who always claims to be romantic and passionate

Chapter 0154: The long-planned conspiracy

The car stopped at the roadside. Fang Zhicheng opened the door and got out, then turned around and closed it. The driver Xing Biao immediately started the car and turned into the municipal party committee compound through the side door. Xing Biao was a relative of Li Siyuan, the provincial party secretary, and was also specially arranged by Li Siyuan after Song Wendi had the accident. This fully shows that Li Siyuan valued Song Wendi very much. Xing Biao had served in the army for three years, and his personality was relatively stable. His driving skills were excellent, and he was not ambiguous.

It is not common, but not uncommon, for the Municipal Party Committee compound to be surrounded by petitioners. Fang Zhicheng and Song Wendi encountered this situation when they returned to the Municipal Party Committee after a meeting, so Fang Zhicheng got off the car first to understand the situation, while Song Wendi returned to the office first. It is not that Song Wendi deliberately avoided the matter, but that coming forward without knowing the real intention would only lead to the deterioration of the situation.

A person in charge of the Municipal Party Committee's Petition Office had sharp eyes and saw the Municipal Party Committee Secretary's car from a distance. When he saw Fang Zhicheng approaching, he hurried to greet him. The person in charge was named Ma Yuan. Fang Zhicheng had dealt with him several times and handled several petition issues. Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked, "Director Ma, what's going on?"

Ma Yuan sighed and said, "The people in Yuhu Ecological Zone came here to petition because the change of the contractor of the Yuhu Ecological Zone project has affected their lives. The Yuhu Ecological Zone has been under construction for many years. Once the contractor is changed, many people will inevitably face the change of owners and no job security. Naturally, the government will have to make the decision."

Fang Zhicheng immediately smelled a conspiracy. What does changing the contractor of the Yuhu Ecological Zone project have to do with these ordinary people? If a new contractor is hired, will the employment still be biased towards locals? Why did they stand up to oppose, especially collective petitions? According to common sense, any group activity must be organized by someone, because large-scale actions require costs, and even unemployed people will not waste time to compete with the government.

Fang Zhicheng immediately thought about what the interests behind this were.

Fang Zhicheng pulled Ma Yuan to a slightly more secluded place, handed him a cigarette, and asked in confusion: "It's not a good idea to block them at the Municipal Party Committee. The impact is extremely bad. Why don't you lead them to the Letters and Calls Bureau?"

Ma Yuan smiled bitterly, hung the cigarette on his ear without lighting it, and sighed, "They don't want to go. They think my position is too low and I don't have the power to speak. They must see the mayor or even the municipal party secretary before they will give up."

Fang Zhicheng held his chin, thought for a moment, and asked again without smoking, "Didn't Secretary Ding show up?"

Ding Nengren is the city party committee's chief steward. When something like this happens, it is natural for him to step in to coordinate.

Ma Yuan sighed and said depressedly: "Secretary Ding called the Letters and Calls Bureau. The staff of the Letters and Calls Bureau should still be on the way."

According to Ding Nengren's character, such a mistake would never occur. Why didn't he come forward to coordinate himself, but instead pushed the problem to the Letters and Calls Bureau

Fang Zhicheng always felt that something was wrong. At this time, several people rushed over and surrounded Fang Zhicheng. One of them asked, "Are you Secretary Fang?"

Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised, because he didn't expect that these petitioners actually knew him. He nodded and said, "Yes, who are you?"

This is a middle-aged man in his fifties. "I am a resident of Yuhu Ecological Zone. I met you last time when you accompanied Secretary Zhao to inspect Yuhu Ecological Zone. We believe that Yuhu Ecological Zone has now reached the third phase of construction. The sudden change of the construction party will only increase the cost. This is the petition material. Secretary Fang must pass it to Secretary Song so that Secretary Song can hear the opinions of us ordinary people."

Fang Zhicheng was a little embarrassed and could only passively accept the materials. Others expressed their dissatisfaction to Fang Zhicheng one after another. Fang Zhicheng chatted with them for a few words, found an excuse, and rushed out of the encirclement.

After about half an hour, staff from the Letters and Calls Bureau finally arrived, followed by armed police soldiers who also intervened. The group of about fifty petitioners were taken to the Letters and Calls Bureau.

After returning to the office, Fang Zhicheng went in to make tea for him. Song Wendi saw Fang Zhicheng holding something under his armpit, and then lowered his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Fang Zhicheng then reported the whole incident to Song Wendi. Song Wendi put down his pen, took off his glasses, and asked in a deep voice, "In your opinion, they are not local residents?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I talked to one of them. Judging from his conversation, he has strong logic and is not a farmer. I carefully observed his hands and he has never done rough work. And judging from his clothes, he should be a person with a taste for life."

Song Wendi fell silent, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, looked up at Fang Zhicheng, and said lightly: "How about you go to the Yuhu Ecological Zone for a visit, and as for the afternoon meeting, Siqing will take over for the time being."

Fang Zhicheng secretly thought that this matter was most likely related to Ding Nengren. Even Song Wendi smelled the smell of gunpowder. It seemed that a site visit was inevitable.

Song Wendi called Ding Nengren and told him that Fang Zhicheng needed to take a leave for personal reasons, which showed how cautious Song Wendi was. Since it was a private trip, he could not use the official car, so Fang Zhicheng drove the Jetta to Yuhu Ecological Zone.

Song Wendi pushed for the replacement of the construction contractor of Yuhu Ecological Zone. The signs of this disturbance were clearly using public opinion to put pressure on Song Wendi. Ding Nengren, as the secretary general of the municipal party committee, did not inform Song Wendi at all, which was also a disguised statement. With Ding Nengren's smooth personality, if he tried his best to coordinate, how could he wait so long for the group petition incident to solve the problem

Arriving at Yuhu Ecological Zone, Fang Zhicheng first saw the Yuhu Bay luxury villa project invested by Hongda Group. After thinking about it, he called Zhao Qingya. After explaining the whole story, Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "You go to the sales office and wait. I will arrange for someone to accompany you around Yuhu Ecological Zone. She is a local and has certain experience and connections."

The villa area has not been built yet, but the sales office has already been set up. When entering, it is found that the decoration is extremely luxurious. The materials used for both the floor and the ceiling are very careful, giving people a feeling of entering a palace. After explaining the purpose of the visit at the front desk, a woman under 30 years old came down from upstairs. She was wearing a white low-necked base shirt on the upper body, a light yellow blouse on the outside, and a narrow black skirt on the bottom, which perfectly set off her beautiful figure and fair and smooth skin. Fang Zhicheng, who had already tasted the affairs of men and women, could not help but be dazzled.

Leading Fang Zhicheng into the vice president's office upstairs, the woman introduced herself: "Hello, Secretary Fang, my name is Tang Nianyi."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Tang Nianyi shook her head gently and said with a smile: "It's not a disturbance. President Zhao has solemnly instructed me to cooperate with your work. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Tang Nianyi was indeed a talented person, who spoke with great discretion and was able to control her emotions. He could tell at a glance that she was good at socializing. Now he thought that there was a reason why Zhao Qingya was confident in handing over the construction of the villa area in the Yuhu Ecological Zone to her. As the contractor of the Yuhu Ecological Zone, Luo Meishan had been rooted here for many years. If she didn't have some skills, it would be impossible for her to start a new business here.

Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the entry point he chose today was extremely correct. He took a sip of the tea that Tang Nianyi had brewed for him and asked softly, "There were people in Yuhu Ecological Zone who surrounded the Municipal Party Committee compound this morning. Did you know about this?"
