Fang Zhicheng held up the wine glass and said with a smile: "President Wen, if you say so, then one glass of wine cannot express my gratitude. Only three glasses in a row can show my respect." After he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp, then asked the waiter to pour him two more glasses.
After drinking three cups, Fang Zhicheng felt a burning sensation in his stomach and a swelling in his throat. However, he still walked to Ye Mingjing's side and said with a smile, "Boss Ye, I just expressed my gratitude to President Wen. Now it's my turn to toast you. Three cups too, Boss Ye, please forgive me!"
Ye Mingjing nodded and clinked glasses with Fang Zhicheng. After Fang Zhicheng finished three glasses, he staggered when he walked. Knowing that he was dying, he begged for mercy, hurried out of the box, and went to the bathroom. "Splash...", filth gushed out of his mouth, and he felt his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all vomited out in an instant.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zhicheng stood up, slowly walked to the wash basin, wiped his face with water, clenched his fists, waved in the air, gave himself a smile to encourage himself, and then entered the box again...
Chapter 0281 The road must be taken step by step
After the dinner, Fang Zhicheng was drunk for the whole afternoon.
In official circles, one sometimes needs the courage and awareness to get drunk, and Fang Zhicheng is no exception. In order to express his inner gratitude, he was very relaxed when accompanying Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing. As a result, he didn't even know how he left the table and returned to the office.
Around five o'clock, Fang Zhicheng finally woke up. He lay on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket, with a splitting headache. Every breath he exhaled seemed to smell like alcohol. He got up and poured a glass of water. He took a big sip and felt a little better. Then he lay down for a while, trying to recall what happened at noon. He vaguely remembered that it was Xing Jike who sent him back to the office. As for what the two said, Fang Zhicheng was a little unclear.
Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have drunk so much. If he said something wrong, it would be bad.
After lying there for a long time, the door was knocked open and Li Hui came in. Seeing Fang Zhicheng had woken up, she asked, "Director Fang, it's almost time to get off work. How about asking Lao Guo to drive you home?"
Fang Zhicheng propped himself up, nodded to Li Hui, and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Hui."
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng was unsteady on his feet, Li Hui walked over and supported him. Fang Zhicheng felt something soft under his arm and realized that his arm was pressing against Li Hui's chest. He stared at Li Hui from the side and found that she didn't care, so he didn't think much about it.
After getting in the car, Fang Zhicheng sat in the back seat. Guo Jinyuan opened the car window to let Fang Zhicheng lie more comfortably. Li Hui originally planned to leave, but seeing Fang Zhicheng lying on his back, she felt uneasy and sat in the passenger seat. Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the street where Fang Zhicheng lived. The car could no longer drive in, so Guo Jinyuan and Li Hui took Fang Zhicheng to his residence together.
"The key is in my bag." Fang Zhicheng reminded Li Hui. He felt uncomfortable in his stomach again and quickly found a corner to vomit.
Li Hui rummaged in her bag for a while, found the key, and opened the door. It was her first time to visit Fang Zhicheng's residence, and she was amazed by the unique courtyard. After helping Fang Zhicheng onto the bed, Li Hui searched the room for a while, and found that there was no hot water, so she boiled some water for Fang Zhicheng, and then helped him take off his clothes.
After finishing everything, it was already six or seven o'clock, and Li Hui and Guo Jinyuan left Fang Zhicheng's residence. After walking for a while, they met a familiar figure. Li Hui was slightly startled, thinking to herself, isn't that the executive deputy county magistrate Qi Yun
Qi Yun also saw Li Hui and was slightly startled. Her face was hot for a while, but she quickly reacted and nodded and smiled at Li Hui, "Hello, Director Li."
Li Hui asked in confusion: "County Magistrate Qi, does he live here too?"
Qi Yun shook her head and smiled, "A friend of mine lives here. I'll come over in the evening to discuss something with him."
"friend?"
Li Hui was suspicious, but she didn't show it. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Director Fang also lives in this area. He drank too much at the reception this afternoon, so we sent him back."
Qi Yun smiled faintly and said softly, "Oh? So Comrade Zhicheng also lives here? I heard today that he drank a lot of wine when he was having dinner with Mayor Deng and President Wen. I was down for inspection today, so I couldn't join in. I wonder how he is now? Is he seriously drunk?"
Li Hui shook her head and smiled, "I slept for the whole afternoon and I feel much better now. County Magistrate Qi, you have something to do, go ahead and we will go back too."
Qi Yun nodded and walked slowly inside. Two minutes later, she turned around and made sure that Li Hui and Guo Jinyuan had left. She quickened her pace and walked quickly towards her destination.
After getting into the car, Li Hui's heart was in ups and downs. Although Qi Yun concealed it well, her sixth sense told her that Qi Yun's appearance here tonight was definitely unusual.
Could it be that County Magistrate Qi and Fang Zhicheng have something going on
Li Hui quickly dismissed this incredible idea. First, Qi Yun and Fang Zhicheng were in a superior-subordinate relationship. Second, Qi Yun was a married woman. Third, Qi Yun had a very cold personality and was several years older than Fang Zhicheng.
After giving several reasons, Li Hui was still in doubt. She sighed softly and hid the secret deep in her heart. After all, if it was revealed, it would not only affect Qi Yun, but also Fang Zhicheng's future.
After Qi Yun entered the room, she saw Fang Zhicheng lying on the bed. She sighed and said resentfully, "You can't drink much, so why did you drink so much?"
Fang Zhicheng turned over and said with a wry smile, "When you are in the arena, you can't help yourself. President Wen and President Ye have come from afar, so I have to express my feelings."
Qi Yun smiled bitterly and said, "In Dongtai County, everyone says I'm a workaholic, but in fact you work harder than me!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said softly, "Birds of a feather flock together. If I were a little hooligan who didn't do his job properly, how could I win the heart of County Magistrate Qi?"
"How come you're still so sharp-tongued after drinking so much!" Qi Yun rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Although I wasn't at the scene of what happened today, I heard about it. You really pissed off Secretary Weiming..."
Fang Zhicheng said "Oh", showing a helpless expression, and sighed: "What do you think? Are you worried about me, or are you concerned about Sun Weiming?"
Qi Yun smiled and said, "I don't know either. I am a centrist now. I sincerely hope that you can make peace with each other. I know both of you very well. You are both wholeheartedly committed to the development of Dongtai, but your methods are different. Can you try to change and tolerate each other?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head slowly and said softly, "County Magistrate Qi, your intention is good, but do you think Secretary Weiming will let me go easily even if I compromise?"
County Magistrate Qi was slightly startled and said calmly: "Indeed! Secretary Weiming is a very strong person. Once he makes a decision, he will never give in easily." Since Sun Weiming is already prepared to get involved in the investment promotion company, even if he makes temporary concessions, it is just a feint. He is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal. Qi Yun understands this very well.
Fang Zhicheng heard the concern in Qi Yun's tone, stretched out his hand to pinch her wrist, and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm not someone that can be bullied easily. Since Sun Weiming deliberately targeted me, then I will naturally fight back in the same way."
County Magistrate Qi nodded, and Fang Zhicheng did so. After this incident, Sun Weiming would calm down for a while. After all, the strength shown by Fang Zhicheng should not be underestimated. If it were himself or Sun Weiming, they would not be able to invite heavyweights like Wen Feng and Ye Mingjing, but Fang Zhicheng did it.
From this we can see that Fang Zhicheng’s trump card is not only Song Wendi, but there must be other means as well.
Qi Yun poured Fang Zhicheng another cup of warm water. After Fang Zhicheng drank it, his stomach felt much better.
Qi Yun took the cup of water and suddenly sighed, as if she had made a great decision, and said: "Zhicheng, I have made up my mind... I will stand by your side..."
Fang Zhicheng was stunned for a while, very surprised. He hoped that Qi Yun just stayed out of it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "Why?"
Qi Yun sighed softly, smiled, and said, "Because I am your woman... Is this reason enough?"
Fang Zhicheng showed a look of disbelief. He knew Qi Yun very well. County Magistrate Qi was not a person who acted on emotion. She must have made various judgments before making a decision.
