Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows, realizing that there was something else behind Qiu Hengde's words.
Qiu Hengde said tactfully: "I have heard some bad news about you before, that you have ambiguous relationships with several women. In fact, if you get married, this rumor will be easily dispelled."
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Qiu, rumors can really kill people."
Qiu Hengde waved his hand, took a long breath, and smiled, "Although the Organization Department must refer to work style when evaluating cadres, I can understand that you are a young man full of vigor and vitality. In such a complex environment as officialdom, it is inevitable that you will be tempted and shaken. As long as you do not violate some principled mistakes, it can be forgiven. However, I still want to remind you that if you want to avoid being affected by these rumors, you must get married as soon as possible. In this way, those rumors will be self-defeating."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Qiu Hengde's words were for his own consideration, and said sincerely: "Minister Qiu, I will consider your suggestion."
Qiu Hengde nodded and did not continue to dwell on the matter. He immediately talked to Fang Zhicheng about a major event in Yinzhou's cultural circle last year. It turned out that since October last year, a famous writer named "Yanyun" from the Yinzhou Writers Association published a novel "Power and Strategy" about the Yinzhou officialdom, which caused heated discussions across the country.
The novel has received extremely high praise from all walks of life, who believe it is a modern version of "Officialdom Unmasked", which uses plain language to profoundly outline the rules of the modern officialdom, while criticizing many phenomena.
"Officialdom novels have some exaggerated elements, but they are also based on reality." Qiu Hengde had a lot of thoughts, "Ordinary people always look at us civil servants with hostility. In fact, it is not accidental, but because we ourselves are indeed doing something wrong. Some civil servants occupy public resources for their own personal gain, which makes our daily working environment demonized."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and sighed, "I have also read part of the novel "Power Strategy". It contains a lot of political wisdom and has benefited me a lot. It is a mirror that allows me to see my own shortcomings."
"Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same as we do. Some officials believe that this kind of official novel maliciously exaggerates struggles and contradictions in order to attract attention, which is not in line with the facts, so they suggest banning it." Qiu Hengde said with regret.
Fang Zhicheng showed a look of astonishment on his face. "It's just a novel. Why make such a big deal out of it?"
Qiu Hengde smiled and said, "Is the thought tide scary?"
Fang Zhicheng pondered over these four words and soon figured out their meaning. Some things can only be understood intuitively.
Fang Zhicheng can learn a lot from chatting with Qiu Hengde. Qiu Hengde is a theoretical expert. After Fang Zhicheng entered the officialdom, he was more engaged in economic work and was still a little immature and inadequate in theory.
Qiu Hengde has profound attainments in pure theory, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the number one person in Yinzhou in studying the party's theory.
A thorough study of theories does not mean rigid thinking, complacency, or stubbornness. From Qiu Hengde's words and deeds, we can see an open-minded value system, an advanced concept that is inclusive and keeps pace with the times.
Qiu Hengde found Fang Zhicheng patient enough, so he shared with Fang Zhicheng the value system he had been pondering over the years. Fang Zhicheng asked a few questions from time to time, and Qiu Hengde gave simple answers. Time passed quickly without him noticing.
It was not until dinner time that Lele knocked on the door and Qiu Hengde and Fang Zhicheng finished their conversation. Dinner was very lively. Lele performed the dance she learned in kindergarten in front of everyone. Compared with a year ago, Lele's autistic personality has improved a lot. He is cheerful and lively and has become everyone's happy bean.
After dinner, Xie Yuxin stood in the corridor to answer a phone call. After returning to the living room, she winked at Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng thought about it, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xie Yuxin, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Xie Yuxin rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and replied, "There's a party tonight, and someone wants to invite you to go with me!"
"Male or female?" Fang Zhicheng held his chin, thought for a moment, and replied.
"She's a woman, and a beautiful one at that. I guarantee you won't regret it if you go." Xie Yuxin replied, very seductively.
Fang Zhicheng remained calm and sat for a while before saying goodbye to Qiu Hengde and his wife, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
After waiting downstairs for five or six minutes, Xie Yuxin came out gracefully, carrying a pink snakeskin bag. Fang Zhicheng threw away his cigarette butt and waved to Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin waved to Fang Zhicheng, suggesting that he should go a little further. Fang Zhicheng smiled helplessly and trotted to a street outside the community. Not long after, a red car stopped by the roadside. Xie Yuxin opened the window and smiled, "Hurry up and get in the car."
After Fang Zhicheng sat down, Xie Yuxin started the car and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you ask me who I was taking you to see?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands and said proudly, "I can figure out who it is with my toes."
"Oh?" Xie Yuxin showed a disdainful expression, "Tell me about it."
"Du Xi!" Fang Zhicheng glanced at Xie Yuxin and said, "I'm right, right?"
Xie Yuxin nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so smart. But I have a question for you. When did you and Du Xi become so close? She even asked me to take you to see her. She is a woman who hates men very much."
"Isn't it all because of you?" Fang Zhicheng said with a smile.
"Me?" Xie Yuxin thought of something and blushed, "Don't bring me into this. It has nothing to do with me."
As if to hide her embarrassment, Xie Yuxin stepped on the accelerator very deeply. The car's motor made a buzzing sound, and the car accelerated rapidly. The shadows of the trees outside the window became blurred.
Fang Zhicheng smacked his lips and wondered, could it be that this beautiful host who seemed calm and composed, with a first-rate psychological quality, was shy
Neither Fang Zhicheng nor Xie Yuxin noticed that not far behind the sedan, there was a black sedan following them closely, and the man sitting in the driver's seat had a sinister look on his face.
Chapter 0316 Who is Really Drunk
Fang Zhicheng and Xie Yuxin came to a small room in the KTV and saw Du Xi in disguise. She wore a cap, a leather jacket and leather pants, and looked a bit androgynous. At first glance, she looked like a handsome young man. After Fang Zhicheng sat down, Du Xi took off her hat and whispered to Xie Yuxin, "Did you really call Fang Zhicheng over?"
It turned out that Du Xi didn't know that Fang Zhicheng went to Qiu Hengde's house to pay New Year's greetings today. It was just a joke to tease Xie Yuxin. Unexpectedly, Xie Yuxin and Fang Zhicheng were having dinner together. Xie Yuxin took advantage of the situation and caught Du Xi off guard. Xie Yuxin pouted at Du Xi angrily and laughed softly, "Isn't this the result you wanted?"
Du Xi spread out his hands and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I made a mistake this time." In Du Xi's eyes, all men are not good. Even if Fang Zhicheng is an outsider, it does not mean that Du Xi has any great affection for Fang Zhicheng. The reason why Du Xi looks at Fang Zhicheng differently is because of the relationship between Xie Yuxin and Lele.
Since they were in KTV, they naturally had to sing. Du Xi and Xie Yuxin were both goddess-level figures in the entertainment industry. Any song they sang sounded like heavenly music. Fang Zhicheng somewhat agreed with Xie Yuxin's words. Today's trip was worthwhile!
After Du Xi and Xie Yuxin sang two songs each, they ordered a chorus song. At this time, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and it was Feng Kunqi who came over.
Feng Kunqi had a gloomy face and said to Xie Yuxin: "Come out with me for a moment."
Fang Zhicheng stood up and walked towards Feng Kunqi, but was stopped by Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin whispered to Fang Zhicheng: "This is my business, I can handle it myself."
Fang Zhicheng could only sigh and let Feng Kunqi and Xie Yuxin leave the box.
Du Xi frowned. Although she had never seen Feng Kunqi, she could obviously guess a little. She walked to Fang Zhicheng, poked him gently, and said, "Is this Yu Xin's scumbag ex-husband?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "That's right. If Yu Xin hadn't stopped me, I would have definitely beaten him up."
