Fang Zhicheng snapped his fingers, took out a pack of coffee from the drawer, and said with a smile, "I only have instant coffee. You don't mind, do you?"
"Not that particular?" Wu Haiyan waved her hand and smiled.
After making two cups of coffee, Fang Zhicheng took a sip and found that the taste was bitter but sweet. He glanced at Wu Haiyan and saw that her face was gentle and calm, and she seemed to be savoring the unique aroma of coffee as well.
Although it was just a cup of instant coffee, Wu Haiyan enjoyed the taste very much. Ever since her husband's accident, she had been in a hurry and had hardly had the opportunity to taste a cup of coffee.
Fang Zhicheng drank his coffee absent-mindedly, probably secretly watching Wu Haiyan. Every move of Wu Haiyan was like a magic trick, making Fang Zhicheng unable to control himself.
"Why is this woman so beautiful?" The more Fang Zhicheng thought about it, the more regretful he felt.
Ten minutes later, Wu Haiyan found time to call home. The nanny answered the phone and said Yang Zhao had arrived home safely, but he had drunk too much and had already gone to bed. After the call, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She and Fang Zhicheng were alone in the same room. If they stayed together for too long, she was afraid that something might happen. So she drank the last sip of coffee, stood up and said with a smile: "Why don't we go out and wait? It's almost time, isn't it?"
Fang Zhicheng coughed and said, "Then go out and wait."
Walking slowly along the path to the scene of the accident, Fang Zhicheng looked at the shadow on the ground stretched out by the scattered lights and whispered, "Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?"
"What?" Wu Haiyan was slightly stunned. She obviously didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to ask her that.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "You are still young, and your husband is disabled now. In fact, you can live in a different way. I am not asking you to abandon your husband, but I think you can treat your husband as a relative, and on this basis, find your own happiness."
"I don't know what you are talking about?" Wu Haiyan replied a little flustered.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Boss Wu, although we haven't met many times, I feel that I am very compatible with you. I am giving you advice as a friend. It may be a little harsh, but it is from the bottom of my heart."
Wu Haiyan's eyes flashed with determination, and she said softly: "My family members are persuading me that since I still don't have children in this life and Yang Zhao has become like that, I should be ruthless and pursue my own happiness. But if I leave Yang Zhao, he will definitely not be able to survive. I am his only support now. Besides, I love him very much. If I don't have him, I will definitely not be happy."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and sighed, "I'm sorry, I said too much."
Wu Haiyan shook her head, turned around, looked at Fang Zhicheng and smiled, "County Magistrate Fang, I'm very happy that you can persuade me so directly, because you regard me as a friend."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I hope we can become close friends who can talk about anything in the future."
Wu Haiyan nodded, lowered her eyes, and said, "I definitely will."
The two stood at the rollover site and waited for another half an hour before the insurance company staff rushed over. They took a few photos at the scene and then estimated a price. During the rollover, the right door was deformed and other parts were also damaged. Because it was late, the problem could not be solved in time and could only be dealt with until tomorrow morning.
Fang Zhicheng accompanied Wu Haiyan and hailed a taxi at the street corner to send her away.
Sitting in the taxi, Wu Haiyan pondered over Fang Zhicheng's performance tonight. She suddenly felt that there were many things that were unusual. A woman's sixth sense was very sensitive. She could feel that Fang Zhicheng liked her very much, and his eyes on her were always warm...
Wu Haiyan sighed softly, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest. Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation in her chest. This time it wasn't painful, but like an electric current sweeping through her...
In the dim room, the wattage of the bedside lamp was not high enough to penetrate the lampshade, casting a dim light. The curtains were not drawn tight, and the night seemed like a wide curtain, covering everything, leaving only the ticking sound of the pendulum. Wu Haiyan lay quietly on the bed. Since Yang Zhao's accident, the two of them had separated their rooms, and their relationship had entered a delicate state. Wu Haiyan knew that Yang Zhao loved her deeply, and he deliberately distanced himself from her to force her to give up on him.
Wu Haiyan sighed and tossed and turned. Others envied her for her stunning appearance, but Wu Haiyan only wanted a peaceful and comfortable life. Among the many suitors, Yang Zhao's conditions were only above average. The reason why Wu Haiyan gave her life's happiness to Yang Zhao was because he had always cared for her for so many years.
Wu Haiyan is a sentimental woman and her feelings for her husband will not be easily shaken.
Under the dim light, Wu Haiyan's pretty, undecorated face was revealed. It was a masterpiece of God's magic, otherworldly, with plump, jade-white skin, and eyes that were confused yet firm.
A slight cough was heard from next door, and Wu Haiyan realized that her husband might have woken up. She got out of bed, poured a glass of warm water and brought it into the room.
“Ah…” Yang Zhao turned his body to the side, as if he was unaware, and sighed softly, and it was unclear whether he was awake or confused.
Wu Haiyan gently placed the water on the bedside and whispered, "Drink some water, you will feel better." Seeing that Yang Zhao did not respond, Wu Haiyan shook her head and went back to the next room again.
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated several times. It turned out to be a text message. After Wu Haiyan clicked on the message, she found that it was sent by Fang Zhicheng.
"Are you home?" Fang Zhicheng greeted politely.
"I'm already home and was just lying in bed. I'm really embarrassed that something like that happened tonight." Wu Haiyan replied awkwardly.
Fang Zhicheng couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking to himself that tonight's accident was indeed quite dramatic. "Isn't there a saying that goes like this? A friend in need is a friend indeed. Today, Mr. Wu and I have suffered a lot, and our friendship has been sublimated again."
"Do you remember our agreement today? We will become friends who can talk about anything. If you have any objections or problems that you cannot solve in the future, you can come to me."
Wu Haiyan could see the teasing meaning in Fang Zhicheng's text message. She raised her eyebrows and replied vigilantly, "County Magistrate Fang, are you sleepy? I need to rest."
Seeing Wu Haiyan's cold reply, Fang Zhicheng let out a long sigh, thought for a moment, threw his phone aside, and did not reply to the text message.
Wu Haiyan lay in bed for a long time, and saw that there was no reply to the text message. She originally thought that Fang Zhicheng would at least reply with a "good night". Seeing that Fang Zhicheng did not move, she could not help but said angrily, "It's so rude that you didn't respond while chatting."
There is a saying that goes "lay a long line to catch a big fish". If you want to achieve your goal, you must not be impatient. Especially when pursuing a woman, you must pay attention to the degree and timing. If you attack her desperately and frantically, it will not be as effective as boiling a frog in warm water. Because people will "be a scumbag" and always think that those who take the initiative to deliver themselves are bad things.
Fang Zhicheng did not reply to Wu Haiyan, not because he was not interested in Wu Haiyan, but because he felt that getting close to Wu Haiyan required some strategy. Of course, Fang Zhicheng did not think so deliberately, but did it subconsciously. This was a habitual method he had honed in his career in the officialdom.
Fang Zhicheng certainly has a good impression of Wu Haiyan, but he does not deliberately set a trap to seduce Wu Haiyan. Everything is done in the subconscious, just like Freud's sex theory, everything is done under the control of "sex", whether it is done intentionally or unintentionally, it can be explained by the primitive impulse between men and women.
Chapter 0325: Conspiracy and Traps
The development of Dongtai County has clearly begun to accelerate. The bonded area was approved at the end of last year and began to show its power this year. The China Merchants Group has been successful in the process of attracting investment, and the target completion rate hit a new high in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, Dongtai is also making very smooth progress in key project promotion. Qi's Huijin Commercial Plaza project has entered the final stage, and the first wave of merchants are expected to move in in October of the second half of the year. Meanwhile, the first batch of funds for the Golden Street project is still in place and is being planned and constructed in an orderly manner.
The provincial and municipal governments attach great importance to Dongtai's achievements, and departments at all levels arrange people to inspect it almost every week. On the one hand, other sister cities come to learn from Dongtai's experience and understand Dongtai's success; on the other hand, the province regards Dongtai as a pilot area for a new round of reforms in Huainan, and spares no effort to promote Dongtai and invest its superior resources in Dongtai.
With high attention from the province and the city, Dongtai has developed by leaps and bounds. In the first quarter, various indexes ranked among the best in the province and are even competitive in the country.
