Fang Zhicheng found that although Song Wendi's tone was calm, she seemed to be in a bad mood. Recalling the attitudes of Song Wendi and Wenfeng at the dinner table just now, he vaguely felt that there might be some irreconcilable contradiction between the couple.

Song Wendi sighed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has shortcomings when dealing with problems. When analyzing problems that happen to others, we can always make sense. However, once it involves ourselves, we always have no clue."

Fang Zhicheng asked tentatively: "Is there any misunderstanding between the boss and Mayor Wen?"

Song Wendi waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "It's not a misunderstanding, but a long-standing estrangement. We are both too career-oriented and rarely see each other. Even though we live together now, we are like strangers."

Fang Zhicheng quickly comforted him, "Mayor Wen still cares about you very much. The last time you got into trouble, Mayor Wen almost didn't sleep for two nights, and he was always running around for you."

Song Wendi nodded and sighed, "After all, we are husband and wife. Wenfeng is a good woman. It's a pity that there are always some problems between us..."

Fang Zhicheng knew that he couldn't ask more about this question, so he could only say, "Communication is the best way to resolve the gap. This is what you, the boss, often say."

"Unfortunately, some people are born unable to communicate with each other... This is not just her problem, I also have many problems." Song Wendi shook his head and smiled, "By the way, didn't you say you had something for me when you returned to Yinzhou this time?"

Fang Zhicheng quickly took out a yellow envelope from his briefcase, took out the document, and handed it to Song Wendi. Song Wendi flipped through a few pages, his face became serious, and asked, "What did Sun Weiming find out?"

Fang Zhicheng said truthfully: "Sun Weiming was a scout before, and he has some tricks. However, his target is not only Meng Fanchao, but also involves a lot of clues related to Qian Dechen..."

"This Sun Weiming, his real intention is not to drink." Song Wendi put the materials aside and said softly, "How do you think we should deal with it?"

Fang Zhicheng frowned and thought, "Qian Dechen has a complex network of connections in Dongtai County, and he also has backers in the city. This material alone is not enough to make him surrender. If we take measures against Meng Fanchao now, it will alert the enemy."

Song Wendi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he encouraged her, "Keep going!"

Fang Zhicheng said softly: "I think the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection can send a secret investigation team to investigate Qian Dechen. After finding out the facts of the crime, they can catch all the people in Qian Dechen's faction in one fell swoop."

Song Wendi tapped the coffee table nonchalantly and said in a deep voice, "Qian Dechen is very cunning. It's not easy to investigate his background."

Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "Although the fox is cunning, it will always show its tail. As long as you look for it patiently, you will eventually find the problem."

Song Wendi thought about it, called the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, Ding Feng, and then issued instructions to investigate Qian Dechen in front of Fang Zhicheng. However, Song Wendi still emphasized that it should be done in secret and the news should not be leaked in advance. Ding Feng is now the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau and an important chess piece planted by Song Wendi in the political and legal system.

Song Wendi has basically taken control of the situation in Yinzhou. After the People's Congress, Zhang Guoxin was successfully appointed from acting mayor to mayor. In this process, Song Wendi cleverly arranged and consolidated his position as the top leader. Yinzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes from a year ago. The members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee have almost been replaced. The reality is so cruel and ruthless.

After sitting in Song Wendi's house for a while, Fang Zhicheng said goodbye and left. Song Wendi stood at the door, watched him leave, then turned into the living room and sighed towards the direction of the stairs.

Wen Feng was in Yinzhou recently because her work had a big problem. As the deputy mayor in charge of family planning, the family planning scandal in her area was exposed. The family planning department and grassroots governments did not strictly implement the family planning policy, turned a blind eye to those who intended to have more children than allowed, and once the fact of having more than allowed was established, they just paid the money and the matter was settled.

The incident caused a big stir and was widely reported by media from other provinces, so that Wen Feng was severely punished.

Wenfeng, who was in a low period, came to Yinzhou, hoping that Song Wendi could come forward to communicate with Li Siyuan so that she could get through this difficult time. Wenfeng was his wife and also Li Siyuan's beloved younger sister. The reason why Wenfeng married Song Wendi was because Li Siyuan had played a role in the process.

However, after Song Wendi reported the matter to Li Siyuan, he was rejected. The reason was simple. The incident against Wenfeng was not that simple. In the final analysis, it was still directed at Song Wendi. Song Wendi was now highly favored to be promoted to vice governor. This was a card played by the opponent. If Wenfeng was allowed to get through the difficulties, it would be criticized by the political enemies, which would be bad.

Now they have to make a choice. If Song Wendi wants to fight for the position of vice governor, then Wenfeng must accept the consequences of punishment. Wenfeng has always been arrogant, will she agree

Song Wendi went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. Wenfeng had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed, holding a book in her hand. She was flipping through the pages under the light of the desk lamp. Song Wendi went to the bathroom to take a shower, then turned to the bed, sighed, and said, "Secretary Siyuan called me this afternoon. The result of the handling may be that you will be temporarily transferred to the Party School for study."

Wen Feng closed the book, rubbed her temples, and said in a clear voice: "After all, you still don't want to help me."

Song Wendi frowned and said calmly: "Xiao Feng, you are my wife, how could I not want to help you? The other party has been planning this matter for a long time. If you are not transferred away, it will be difficult to calm down the public opinion."

Wen Feng showed a sarcastic smile and said coldly: "Why did I suffer such a blow? Isn't it because of you? Do you have to sacrifice me for your position as vice governor?"

Song Wendi was a little at a loss for words. Wenfeng was indeed a victim in this matter. He sighed softly and said, "Wenfeng, I feel guilty about this matter, but I promise to compensate you."

Wen Feng waved her hand, turned over and lay down, sighing: "Forget it, I'm tired. You still have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Song Wendi heard resentment in Wen Feng's indifferent tone and could not help but shake his head secretly. The moon has its phases, and nothing is perfect. If he could successfully be promoted to the rank of vice governor, he would have to step on his wife's shoulders to get there. This feeling was not pleasant.

But politics is like this, cruel and bloody at times, and a lack of patience can ruin great plans. I hope Wenfeng can hold her temper for the time being. She has been too busy in these years. Perhaps it would be a good idea to take this time to have a good rest and adjust her mood.

Song Wendi moved closer and found that Wenfeng's body was cold. Then he hugged her to his chest, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Xiaofeng, let's have a child, shall we?"

Wenfeng's body trembled slightly, but she didn't react in the end. Song Wendi sighed, shook her head slightly, and then lay straight. Not all couples are loving and affectionate. His marriage with Wenfeng was tainted with too much utilitarianism from the beginning. After so many years of marriage, they didn't melt the ice deep in each other's hearts, but made them feel colder and colder...

Chapter 0211 I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals

After leaving the villa, Fang Zhicheng called Qin Yuming. After several calls, he answered and said with a smile, "Dear, I'm back in Yinzhou. Are you surprised?"

"Ah?" It wasn't Qin Yuming's voice on the other end, but Xu Jiao, holding the phone awkwardly, explained bitterly, "Brother Cheng, it's me, Xu Jiao. Sister Yuming is taking a shower, so she can't answer the phone."

Fang Zhicheng was originally full of enthusiasm, but when he heard Xu Jiao's voice, a black line suddenly appeared on his forehead. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It turned out to be Xu Jiao... I thought it was Yu Ming. Please tell her for me. I will be home in ten minutes."

Xu Jiao hung up the phone with a "hmm". The relationship between Fang Zhicheng and Qin Yuming was now known to everyone in Yuming Dance School, but when she heard Fang Zhicheng call Qin Yuming "dear", she couldn't help but feel jealous. Xu Jiao was already 25 years old after the Chinese New Year. Now her family has been helping her arrange blind dates, but every time she goes on a blind date, she can't help but compare it with Fang Zhicheng. People have preconceived ideas and always think that the first blind date is the best.

Fang Zhicheng's rejection of Xu Jiao had hurt her to some extent. However, this was the most appropriate way to deal with the situation. Otherwise, if Fang Zhicheng had cheated on Xu Jiao, it would have only made him appear more morally corrupt and hurt her more.

Not long after hanging up Fang Zhicheng's phone, Qin Yuming came out in her bathrobe. Seeing Xu Jiao was uneasy, she smiled and said, "I've prepared the water for you. You can go in and take a shower."

Xu Jiao said softly, "I just received a call from Brother Cheng, saying he would come over later. Is it a bit inconvenient for me to live here?"

Qin Yuming was slightly startled, wondering why Fang Zhicheng came back without saying hello in advance. She waved her hand and said with a smile: "What's the inconvenience? You and I will sleep in one room, and he will sleep in another room. Where else can you go at this time?"

Xu Jiao smiled, went back to the room, took out some clothes from her luggage bag, and went into the bathroom. Not long after, the doorbell rang, Qin Yuming went to open the door, Fang Zhicheng hugged Qin Yuming and kissed her beautiful red lips. Qin Yuming was hit by surprise, her body went limp, and she almost fell down. She remembered that Xu Jiao was in the bathroom, so she quickly stretched out her soft hand to hold Fang Zhicheng, and whispered, "Zhicheng, there are people at home, don't let anyone see us."

Fang Zhicheng frowned and said unhappily, "Why is Xu Jiao here? I've been waiting for so long. It's a rare opportunity for her to come back. Does she need to be ordained again?"
