Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "When you live at home, you have to be careful with your daily necessities. The wine you bought today is too good, no wonder your sister-in-law is unhappy!"
Zhan Yao waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Boss, don't say that. You came to my house as a guest today to give me face. If the wine is not good enough, I'm afraid you will never want to come again!"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "You are too polite!"
At this time, the sound of flushing toilet came from the bathroom. Mei Jun walked out with a stern face and saw a few side dishes on the table. She said, "Hey, Lao Zhan, this is not what you cooked, right?"
Zhan Yao pointed at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Of course not me. How could I have such ability? By the way, where is my son?"
"I sent my son to my mother's house..." Mei Jun snorted, "Then you guys eat, I'll go back to my room to rest..."
Zhan Yao saw that Mei Jun was indifferent and realized that she had no good feelings towards Fang Zhicheng. He was secretly worried and was about to formally introduce Fang Zhicheng to Mei Jun. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are very tired after a busy day. We can take care of ourselves."
Fang Zhicheng's simple words sounded like a thorn in Mei Jun's ears. She couldn't help wondering if he had really known her secret. Mei Jun turned and went into the house, and it took some effort to close the door. Zhan Yao knew that his wife was angry, but he didn't know why, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know what happened to my wife today. She's a little strange. Please don't take it to heart, boss."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said calmly: "It's just a small matter, let's eat."
The two of them ate and drank for a while and chatted with each other. Fang Zhicheng found that Zhan Yao had a wide range of knowledge, including history, humanities and geography.
After drinking too much, Zhan Yao became talkative and said with a smile: "Boss, I really admire you. Although I am older than you, there is a big gap between us in terms of looking at many problems. I saw you teach Wang Jingran a lesson today. He was completely helpless. I suffered from him several times before, but now I am completely relieved. I have to thank you for standing up for me."
Fang Zhicheng smiled modestly and said, "Old Zhan, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly. There are some iron rules in the officialdom, such as communication between superiors and subordinates, which must follow principles. Wang Jingran is too arrogant, which is why he bowed to me today."
Zhan Yao was a little confused and smiled bitterly, "There is one thing I still don't understand. Why did Secretary Weiming acquiesce in the Discipline Inspection Commission's warning to Wang Jingran?"
Fang Zhicheng picked up a piece of green vegetable, put it in a small bowl, and said, "Without rules, there will be no order. Sun Weiming wants his subordinates to abide by the rules more than anyone else."
Zhan Yao patted his forehead, suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "So that's it!"
Sun Weiming didn't want to give Fang Zhicheng any handle. Fang Zhicheng was difficult to control. If he deliberately caused another conflict on the grounds that Wang Jingran pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, wouldn't it leave him with many troubles? So Sun Weiming decided to give Wang Jingran a harmless warning.
Sun Weiming dealt with Fang Zhicheng to make Fang Zhicheng develop self-discipline. What he meant was, I have already punished Wang Jingran according to the rules, but if you, Fang Zhicheng, violate the rules in the future, I will definitely not be lenient and will give you corresponding punishment.
From another perspective, Sun Weiming also used a self-torture strategy. Wang Jingran was Huang Gai, and beating him up could ease the tension between himself and Fang Zhicheng. After Zhao Heping was dismissed, Sun Weiming restrained his edge and stopped interfering with Fang Zhicheng's work, giving him full freedom and space. This tolerance and humility was a step he gave, but Fang Zhicheng never took it up.
Fang Zhicheng was testing Sun Weiming's patience. After all, the current situation was in his favor. The city committee's cold treatment of Sun Weiming had made him feel a strong sense of crisis. The candidate for deputy secretary of the county committee had not been finalized, which doubled the pressure on Sun Weiming.
Sun Weiming's control over Dongtai County's government work is now being significantly weakened. With Qi Yun's defection and Xing Jike's steady progress, Sun Weiming's influence on the county government's work is declining. If another strong deputy secretary of the county party committee comes and competes with him in party affairs, it will undoubtedly add another front, making it difficult for Sun Weiming to cope.
Sun Weiming knew that in this situation, he had to appease Fang Zhicheng first, and slowly consolidate his voice in the county government, and then try to arrange his own people in the position of deputy secretary of the county party committee. Fang Zhicheng had a very good relationship with Qiu Hengde, the head of the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department. If he said something unfavorable to him in front of Qiu Hengde, wouldn't Sun Weiming be attacked from all sides
That's why Sun Weiming used a self-torture tactic to warn Wang Jingran and temporarily ease the conflict with Fang Zhicheng.
This is why Fang Zhicheng dared to file a complaint against Wang Jingran in his real name, because he had already anticipated the final result. Although Wang Jingran was very important to Sun Weiming, under the current circumstances, Sun Weiming would not care about Wang Jingran as a chess piece and affect his layout at the Dongtai Standing Committee.
Zhan Yao had a lot of thoughts in mind and analyzed the interests involved one by one. He immediately felt a sense of admiration for Fang Zhicheng. In the eyes of others, Fang Zhicheng was a rebellious young deputy county magistrate, but who could have known that every step he took was well thought out
Fang Zhicheng had only been the deputy county magistrate for a few months. The previous Xujiaqiao demolition turmoil was the first fire after the new official took office. The subsequent successful attraction of the golf course project was the second fire after taking office. And now, the crackdown on Wang Jingran, director of the government office, is undoubtedly the third fire.
Fang Zhicheng used his own strength to prove that he could hold his current position, and at the same time told others that he was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.
Zhan Yao couldn't help but feel excited. If he followed Fang Zhicheng, his future would be limitless.
Only one of the two bottles of wine was opened, and they stopped at the right time. Fang Zhicheng only drank 250 grams, while Zhan Yao drank half a catty himself. Zhan Yao had a good alcohol tolerance and did not seem drunk. He personally sent Fang Zhicheng downstairs and helped Fang Zhicheng get a taxi. Fang Zhicheng sat in the back seat of the taxi, rolled down the window, waved at Zhan Yao, and said, "Work is important, but you also have to focus more on your family..."
Zhan Yao looked confused. How could he realize that Fang Zhicheng was giving him advice
The taxi drove out quickly. Fang Zhi subconsciously looked back. Zhan Yao had a smile on his face. He did not leave but kept waving at the taxi. He sighed in his heart, wondering if Zhan Yao could understand his good intentions.
When Zhan Yao returned home, he saw that Mei Jun had not come to clean up the table. He reached out and pushed the door, but found that it was locked. He said unhappily, "Why is the door still locked?"
I only heard Mei Jun say in a sarcastic tone in the room: "You can sleep outside tonight..."
Zhan Yao frowned, knocked on the door and said, "Mei Jun, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you!"
Mei Jun curled her lips and said, "I don't have the energy to nag you."
Zhan Yao was finally irritated and said, "You are too ungrateful. Do you know who the guest is today? He is my immediate superior. I spent a lot of effort to invite him to my home, but you didn't even treat him well. Isn't this making it difficult for me to be a human being?"
Mei Jun sat up from the bed after hearing what Zhan Yao said. He realized that his behavior today was indeed inappropriate. After a while, he went to open the door and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you tell me? He is so young, how could I have thought that he was the deputy county magistrate? I thought he was just an ordinary colleague of yours!"
Zhan Yao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that there is no chance. Well, let's just let it go. But you have to pay attention to me in the future. When it's time to give me face, you must give it to me!"
"I got it!" Mei Jun was in mixed emotions. She took two steps, staggered, and almost fell. Her secret might have been discovered by her husband's boss. Mei Jun was really at a loss!
Chapter 0348 Even a poisonous tiger can eat its own cubs
Everyone's life is secretive. Fang Zhicheng didn't tell Zhan Yao directly because it's better to keep some things in the dark than to expose them to the public. If Zhan Yao didn't know that his wife might have cheated on him, the family would still be happy, which would be more suitable than if he knew the inside story and the family was broken up.
When Fang Zhicheng returned to the rented bungalow, he saw the snow-white cat again. The cat walked very gracefully, and seemed not to be afraid of Fang Zhicheng at all. It would look back once or twice after every few steps. Fang Zhicheng was curious and wanted to know where the cat came from, so he followed the cat closely and walked along the path.
Unconsciously, they arrived in front of a tall building. The white cat jumped onto the wall of the courtyard, turned around and glanced at Fang Zhicheng, then jumped into the courtyard. Fang Zhicheng sighed, realizing that this was the home of the white cat's owner.
After returning home, Fang Zhicheng didn't know why the image of the white cat kept rolling in his mind, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Around ten o'clock the next morning, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Xie Yuxin, who sounded a little anxious, "Zhicheng, Lele is missing!"
When Fang Zhicheng heard that Lele was missing, his heart sank and he asked, "What happened? Why is she missing?"
