What a cunning guy!

Fang Zhicheng remained calm on the surface and said, "Huijin Commercial Plaza is my investment attraction project. Although the Qi Group is facing certain difficulties now, it is very likely to affect the entry of shops in the future. However, since Secretary Weiming has requested this, I will issue you a military order here. On the basis of the original, I will attract all the shops in place one week in advance."

"A military order? Words alone are not enough. If Huijin Commercial Plaza can open as scheduled, County Magistrate Fang can certainly become a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo. But if Huijin Commercial Plaza fails to open as scheduled, then what should County Magistrate Fang do?" Deng Hongguo sneered in a low voice beside him.

Fang Zhicheng had already seen clearly that Deng Hongguo was the one that Sun Weiming had called over today to contradict him. Sun Weiming wanted to be a good person on the surface, so he couldn't say many things, but Deng Hongguo and Fang Zhicheng had always had a grudge, so Sun Weiming took advantage of Deng Hongguo's unrestrained words to make things difficult for Fang Zhicheng. This method was very clever.

Seeing Sun Weiming remained silent, Fang Zhicheng sniffed and said, "If Huijin Commercial Plaza does not open on schedule, I will bear all the consequences. But if the commercial plaza can open smoothly, should County Magistrate Deng bear the corresponding responsibility for today's suspicion?"

Deng Hongguo thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng's sharp words had pushed him into a dead end. He snorted and said, "You are in charge of attracting investment. If the projects you have attracted fail to materialize, what does it have to do with me? I am just expressing my thoughts from the perspective of an observer."

Fang Zhicheng immediately counterattacked: "In my opinion, County Magistrate Deng has ulterior motives and even hopes that Huijin Commercial Plaza will not be implemented. In this way, you will have an excuse to make me resign."

"You!" Deng Hongguo's face flushed as he faced Fang Zhicheng's merciless rebuke. He already knew that Fang Zhicheng was an excellent speaker and had a very quick reaction, but now after a contest, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing that Sun Weiming did not interrupt the heated debate between him and Deng Hongguo, Fang Zhicheng knew that Sun Weiming would not easily let him enter the Standing Committee, so he used the Huijin Commercial Plaza project to create a difficult problem for himself. If he failed to pass it, he was afraid that Sun Weiming would not easily agree to let him enter the Standing Committee.

Fang Zhicheng stood up, took out a piece of paper and a pen from Sun Weiming's desk, wrote his military order on it, and then pushed it in front of Sun Weiming, saying: "Secretary Weiming, this is the document I signed. If Huijin Commercial Plaza cannot open smoothly, then I will take the initiative to resign and will no longer be responsible for attracting investment and following up on key projects..."

Sun Weiming smiled faintly and said, "Zhicheng, don't be so childish. You are a little too childish."

Deng Hongguo on the side took the "military order" and looked at it carefully for a long time, thinking that Fang Zhicheng was too easy to provoke. Originally, he and Sun Weiming had set up a not-so-clever trap, but he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to jump into it in the blink of an eye.

Fang Zhicheng smiled, glanced at Deng Hongguo with contempt, and said lightly: "Shameless villain!"

Seeing Fang Zhicheng scolding him mercilessly in front of Sun Weiming, Deng Hongguo slammed the table and angrily said, "Fang Zhicheng, what are you talking about?"

Fang Zhicheng repeated again: "Since you didn't hear it clearly, I might as well say it again. You are a shameless villain!"

Deng Hongguo had been the deputy county chief for many years and had not been scolded in person for a long time. He pointed at Fang Zhicheng's nose and said angrily, "Fang Zhicheng, you actually scolded me in front of Secretary Weiming? You little brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, how dare you scold me?"

After saying this, Deng Hongguo stretched out his hand to grab Fang Zhicheng, but Fang Zhicheng twisted his hand and held Deng Hongguo, and at the same time, punched Deng Hongguo in the face. Deng Hongguo cried out, covered his face and lay on the ground. Fang Zhicheng did not hesitate and kicked him twice.

"How dare you!" Sun Weiming, who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer remain calm. "Fang Zhicheng, what are you doing? Do you still have any respect for organizational discipline?"

The situation took a turn for the worse. Fang Zhicheng beat Deng Hongguo violently in front of him. This was obviously beyond Sun Weiming's expectations. He originally just wanted to use the conflict between Deng Hongguo and Fang Zhicheng to make Fang Zhicheng express his position on the investment promotion of Huijin Commercial Plaza. Since Fang Zhicheng had already expressed his position and written a military order, he had achieved his goal. From beginning to end, he was just a spectator. Deng Hongguo was responsible for all the evil deeds.

However, unexpectedly, things turned out badly. Fang Zhicheng, who had always been very calm, beat Deng Hongguo in front of him...

Sun Weiming wanted to get angry, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, because Fang Zhicheng looked at him strangely, clearly wanting him to be angry and want him to punish him... If Sun Weiming punished Fang Zhicheng, would his plan to use Deng Hongguo to hit Fang Zhicheng be ruined? Wouldn't it make others suspect that today's meeting with Fang Zhicheng was actually a trap. Fang Zhicheng was very cunning and had already seen through his thoughts, deliberately provoking him to make him jump out and have a fair fight with each other...

Sun Weiming decided not to be fooled!

Chapter 0375 Who is the stepping stone

"Fang Zhicheng, you actually hit me?" Deng Hongguo's mind went blank for a moment, and the pain on his face became numb. He was unable to stand up for a long time. Fang Zhicheng's actions made him stunned.

Fang Zhicheng was so bold. As a cadre, he beat his colleagues. How arrogant and crazy was that

Fang Zhicheng looked at Deng Hongguo with contempt and sneered in a low voice: "If you continue to be so despicable and shameless, I will definitely beat you up again."

Sun Weiming frowned and shouted, "Fang Zhicheng, you hit someone, and you seem to be justified? I don't want to make a big deal out of this. Just apologize to Deng Hongguo, and I won't make it bigger."

Seeing that Sun Weiming wanted to make light of the incident, Deng Hongguo stiffened his neck, covered his face and said, "Secretary Weiming, how can this be possible? He laid hands on me, and you think an apology will solve the problem?"

Sun Weiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Deng, there is something wrong with the way you spoke just now. After all, County Magistrate Fang didn't mean to hit you, but your words were too extreme and irritated him..."

“Secretary Weiming… you…” Deng Hongguo was speechless. Sun Weiming actually wanted to suppress the matter. He was beaten. A deputy county magistrate was beaten, and the matter was settled with just an apology.

Seeing Sun Weiming looking at him with sharp eyes, Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "Secretary Weiming, I will not apologize to him. I think Deng Hongguo is the scum and pest of Dongtai officialdom. If I bow to such a person, then do I still have a backbone? You were also present in the conversation just now. When Huijin Commercial Plaza encountered investment problems, Deng Hongguo not only did not offer any advice, but repeatedly made things difficult. I even suspect that he wanted to prevent the official opening of Huijin Commercial Plaza. Such cunning and sinister intentions are really contemptible and disgusting. Asking me to apologize to him not only violates my own principles, but also violates the spiritual quality of our party members who do not associate with evil forces."

Sun Weiming was also a little speechless and didn't know what to do next. He originally knew that Fang Zhicheng was good at attracting investment, but he obviously didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng was also a sharp-tongued person. What he said just now was righteous and directly classified Deng Hongguo as a shameless scum and a first-class disgrace within the party. It made people feel that the blows he had just dealt to Deng Hongguo were too light.

Deng Hongguo felt a sharp pain on his face. Fang Zhicheng scolded and belittled him. He was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He pointed at Fang Zhicheng and stammered, "You are... a thug... I must complain to the organization and report you... Let the organization make the decision for me..."

Sun Weiming was a little unhappy when he heard what Deng Hongguo said. He was the organization, so where could Deng Hongguo go to complain? Sun Weiming also wanted to end this farce as soon as possible. He sighed deeply and said, "Since Fang Zhicheng is unwilling to apologize, let's just keep this in mind for now. Old Deng, you should go to the hospital for a check-up first."

Fang Zhicheng said goodbye to Sun Weiming indifferently: "Secretary Sun, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first."

Looking at Fang Zhicheng's leaving back, Sun Weiming's eyes flashed with anger, because he hit Deng Hongguo in front of him, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.

Sun Weiming, I beat your dog right in front of you, what can you do? Do you want the Organization Department to punish me? If you do that, will others look at you with tinted glasses

There is no shortage of conspiracy theorists in the world, and Sun Weiming cannot act rashly, especially since the new deputy secretary of the county party committee, Duan Xuan, has just arrived in Dongtai. He must stabilize the situation and not give others the feeling that he cannot control the situation.

In addition, Sun Weiming was afraid of pressure from the municipal party committee. If Fang Zhicheng was punished, would Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Wendi or Organization Minister Qiu Hengde target him

Sun Weiming must be cautious. Although he has already contacted his comrades, and even one of them can use the relationship with the Huainan Provincial Party Committee to help him consolidate his position in Dongtai, this does not mean that Sun Weiming should not worry about Song Wendi's control over Dongtai.

"Secretary Weiming... I..." Deng Hongguo saw Sun Weiming was silent and felt increasingly humiliated. "How could you just let him go?"

Sun Weiming sighed slowly: "Old Deng, what you said just now was a bit too harsh. Fang Zhicheng is a young man, his emotions are not stable enough, so it is understandable that he hit you."

Deng Hongguo was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Secretary Weiming, this is a bit wrong. It's not you who asked me to..."

Sun Weiming waved his hand, interrupting Deng Hongguo's next words, and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will give you an explanation."

After leaving the county party secretary's office and returning to her own office, Qi Yun hurried over. Any disturbance in the county party committee compound would quickly cause a stir. After Qi Yun learned that Fang Zhicheng had beaten Deng Hongguo, she, who was always calm and composed, could not sit still. She forgot to avoid suspicion and went straight to Fang Zhicheng's office.
