Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "The premise is that our Merchants Bureau's work can be completed smoothly this year."
Li Hui smiled and muttered, "How cunning." Just as she finished speaking, Fang Zhicheng pointed his finger. Li Hui realized that there must be something dirty on her face, so she quickly wiped it with her hand. Fang Zhicheng shook his head, took a tissue from the bag, and leaned over to help her wipe it.
Li Hui subconsciously leaned back to avoid it, but Fang Zhicheng still reached out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth. She took a look and saw that there was more red sauce on the snow-white tissue. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I was too careless and ate the sauce on my face."
Although she seemed calm, Li Hui's heart was beating wildly. She was secretly annoyed that Director Fang was so abrupt. He launched a surprise attack without saying a word. She almost thought he was going to take advantage of her.
On second thought, Li Hui cursed herself for overthinking. Fang Zhicheng was several years younger than her and still young, so how could he fall for her
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled, "I helped Sister Hui wipe her mouth once, hoping that next time if there is something dirty around me, you can help me wipe it..."
Li Hui nodded in understanding and looked at Fang Zhicheng seriously, pondering the implication of Fang Zhicheng's words. She made up her mind that she would never judge Fang Zhicheng by his appearance again, because his way of dealing with people and things, as well as his behavior, were far beyond his age. It was no exaggeration to describe him as experienced.
The two then drove to Dongtai County’s Hainan Office.
Dongtai County Office in Hainan is located in the city center. It seems to be affiliated with Dongtai County Government Office, but in fact it is independent and has independent functions. In 2001, Dongtai County Office in Hainan purchased a 13-story podium building. The lower five floors were rented to companies as office buildings, the sixth to eighth floors were rented to third parties for catering, leisure and entertainment, and the eighth floor was the office for the staff of the Office in Hainan. The floors above are self-operated hotels. If people from Dongtai County come to work, they can also stay there for free.
Li Hui had worked in the Hainan Office before, and it was at that time that she had a relationship with the deputy county chief Kong Congwen, and then it got out of control. The security guard knew Li Hui, and when he saw her sitting in the passenger seat, he smiled and let Fang Zhicheng's Jetta in without asking any questions. After Fang Zhicheng parked the car, he followed Li Hui to the eighth floor and led him to the office of Luo Hui, the director of the county Hainan Office.
Luo Hui's office was obviously much more luxurious than Fang Zhicheng's office in China Merchants Group. The floor was covered with thick carpets, there was a large screen in the middle, and there seemed to be a room at the back that could be used to make tea.
Fang Zhicheng had long heard that the government's overseas unit was a lucrative one, and now he saw that it was indeed worthy of its reputation. Luo Hui's position was critical, as he was the county government's spy in the provincial capital. All political and commercial news had to pass through this channel, so the county government spared no effort in cultivating this institution. Even most county governors' offices were not as impressive.
"Director Luo is accompanying Secretary Qian. He will come down to accompany you after everything is done with Secretary Qian." A female staff member introduced.
Li Hui nodded and said with a smile: "We'll be fine after waiting for a while."
After drinking two cups of tea, Luo Hui came in. He was tall and sturdy. He stood in front of Fang Zhicheng, even bigger than the tall Fang Zhicheng.
Luo Hui shook hands with Fang Zhicheng firmly and said with a smile: "You are Director Fang, right? You have made us Dongtai people proud today. If the Qi Group can really invest in Dongtai, it will be a great achievement."
Fang Zhicheng was shocked, thinking that Luo Hui was well-informed. What happened at the meeting reached his ears so quickly. However, he smiled calmly and said, "If it succeeds, it will be the credit of Secretary Qian and County Magistrate Sun..."
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng was still modest, Luo Hui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Such a large project is no longer something that Secretary Qian and County Magistrate Sun can interfere with."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at Luo Hui with a complicated expression, thinking that Luo Hui had a very thorough understanding of the matter. Such a large project had attracted the attention of the entire province and even the entire country, and the city had already begun to handle it. This was a severe test for the municipal party committee team headed by Song Wendi.
Luo Hui only said a few words to Fang Zhicheng when he suddenly received a call and apologized, "I'm sorry, I have to go to socialize with Secretary Qian, so I can't accompany you for the time being. Xiao Zhu will accompany you for dinner tonight. I have already made arrangements."
After that, Luo Hui hurriedly left the office. Fang Zhicheng didn't want to stay for long, so he went up to the room on the tenth floor. Before entering the room, Li Hui gently reminded him, "Luo Hui seems to be hostile to you."
Fang Zhicheng also noticed it. Although Luo Hui had a smile on his face and spoke in a friendly manner, he still felt something was wrong. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't think too much. You've been busy all day, Sister Hui, you should take a rest."
Chapter 0178 Sister Hui is in a state of confusion
Fang Zhicheng could also understand Luo Hui's thoughts. The functions of Dongtai County's office in Qiongjin are mainly two aspects. The first is to welcome and see off people from Dongtai County who go to Qiongjin for business, and also to collect effective information for the county government. The second is to attract investment, and provide a bridgehead for Dongtai County to recruit large projects and attract funds.
As a result, the functions of the Hainan Office and the China Merchants Group overlapped, so the Hainan Office regarded the China Merchants Group as a competitor.
Luo Hui has introduced many projects worth tens of millions of yuan to Dongtai County over the years, and has been very popular among Secretary Qian and County Magistrate Sun. How could he share this profit cake with the Merchants Bureau? Since they are both competing parties, Luo Hui does not need to give Fang Zhicheng too much good face. People with different ideas cannot work together. As a department that has only been established for a short time, he does not take the Merchants Bureau seriously.
Fang Zhicheng has Song Wendi as his backer, so what? Luo Hui is now focusing on his work in the Qiong Office. Even when the county committee originally discussed promoting him to the position of director of the government office, he politely declined. As an official of Dongtai County, Luo Hui is too far away from the officialdom of Dongtai and Yinzhou. He is now free and there is no need to consider the impact of Song Wendi on his future.
What surprised Luo Hui was the attitude of Li Hui towards Fang Zhicheng. As far as he knew, this woman was very difficult to tame. Li Hui left the Hainan Office because Luo Hui found it difficult to control this wild horse. However, Luo Hui still admired Li Hui's personal ability. Her investment negotiation ability was outstanding. She was good at observing people's words and expressions, which could attract people's favor.
Li Hui was surprisingly respectful to Fang Zhicheng and obeyed his orders. From various details, it could be seen that Fang Zhicheng had already tamed this rouge horse.
"This is not a simple young man." Luo Hui never underestimates his opponents. Since he regards Fang Zhicheng as his opponent, he decides to study him carefully.
He rang the doorbell of Qian Dechen's room. A few seconds later, Qian Dechen came over and opened the door. Luo Hui smiled and said softly, "Dinner has been reserved. We are going to host a banquet for Mayor Guo Xin at Qinhuai Yeyu Restaurant. Is that okay?"
Qian Dechen turned and entered the room. Luo Hui followed behind him. Qian Dechen nodded and said, "I am still very confident in your work, but you need to pay attention to two details. First, everyone at the dinner must be equipped with a spoon and pay attention to personal hygiene. Second, the table will mainly be vegetarian. Mayor Guo Xin does not eat meat very much."
Luo Hui glanced at the table and saw that there was no hot water yet. He walked over to help Qian Dechen get the electric kettle, went to the bathroom, filled it with water, plugged it in, and said softly, "Don't worry, Secretary Qian. I have always kept Mayor Guoxin's eating habits in mind."
Qian Dechen nodded with satisfaction, staring at the TV news, and suddenly asked: "Are Xiaofang and the others staying here today too?"
"It's arranged..." Luo Hui said "hmm", and seemed to be hesitant, "Boss, do you think it's necessary for the Merchants' Bureau to exist? Aren't we the ones doing the investment promotion work for so many years?"
Qian Dechen knew what Luo Hui was thinking, and smiled and said, "Now all parts of the country are emphasizing the specialization of investment promotion. The Hainan Office has indeed performed well in attracting investment, but after all, it also has reception tasks, so it is inevitable that it is a bit distracted. The establishment of the Investment Promotion Bureau as a professional department is also to better enhance the investment promotion service capabilities of Dongtai County. Don't worry too much, the Investment Promotion Bureau will not be able to replace the investment promotion function of the Hainan Office in the short term."
Seeing that Qian Dechen had given him a reassurance, Luo Hui felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "Alas, investment promotion is not something that can be accomplished overnight. In fact, I also think that if the Investment Promotion Bureau can replace our Hainan Office in attracting investment, it will also relieve pressure and reduce the workload for us."
Qian Dechen pointed at Luo Hui and smiled, saying, "Don't even think about being lazy. If Dongtai fails to complete its investment promotion mission this year, I'll be the first to punish you."
Luo Hui scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, but he was very proud in his heart.
Fang Zhicheng slept in the room for two hours. When he woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. He had been busy with the investment proposal day and night in the past few days, and the pressure was too great, so he fell asleep on the edge of the bed. After taking a hot bath in the bathroom, Fang Zhicheng remembered that Li Hui might not have eaten yet, so he called her.
Li Hui was watching TV. When she saw that it was Fang Zhicheng calling, she suddenly felt nervous for no reason. "Director Fang, what can I do for you?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Sister Hui, I'm sorry. I overslept and it's past dinner time. Do you want to have a midnight snack? I'll treat you!"
Li Hui was a little hesitant. Although it was only a little after nine o'clock, if she and Fang Zhicheng went out to eat alone and were seen by others, it would inevitably cause gossip, so she politely declined, "Director Fang, I've been trying to lose weight recently, and midnight snacks are the easiest to gain weight, so why don't you just forget it. If you're hungry, I can call the front desk to order food for you?"
Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and understood what Li Hui was thinking. He thought to himself that this woman was not that casual. She was probably with Kong Congwen out of love.
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that he couldn't force Li Hui, so he smiled and said, "No need to order food, I'll go out for a walk by myself."
