For this matter, Lu Wanyu traveled from Yunhai to Dongtai no less than twenty times and lost a lot of weight.

Fang Zhicheng held the phone and said with a smile: "Sister Vanilla, I feel sorry for my sister. She has put a lot of effort into the golf course project."

Ning Xiangcao smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I will give her a raise after the golf course is completed. However, I am a little worried now. Now that I think about it carefully, could the golf course project be a trap planned by Xia Mang?"

Fang Zhicheng knew what Ning Xiangcao meant. Xia Mang knew that the golf course was a project that the country prohibited from developing, but he deliberately led Huaying Group into the trap...

Fang Zhicheng thought about it carefully, sighed, and said, "People are evil, that's true. Xia Mang might have made two plans at the beginning. On the one hand, he hoped to save the Xia family with this project, and on the other hand, when the time was right, he would use this project to catch Huaying Group off guard. However, he underestimated Huaying Group."

Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "Why did he underestimate it?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Since Huaying Group is preparing to invest in the Dongtai Golf Course project, how could it not have done a detailed risk assessment in the early stages? You won it without hesitation, which proves that you must have a plan and a complete set of plans for when a crisis occurs."

Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "You guessed this, so the Dongtai government accepted the golf course project without hesitation and supported the construction of the project at all costs, right?"

Fang Zhicheng chuckled twice, but said, "Sister Xiangcao, there are some things you can't say. How could the government blindly introduce a project when it knew it had risks? This is not only irresponsible behavior for the local government, but also unethical for the company."

Ning Xiangcao knew that Fang Zhicheng was playing dumb, so she didn't point it out and asked, "Where will you go next?"

Fang Zhicheng was stunned by the question, and for a few seconds he was stunned. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Xiangcao, how can you be sure that I will leave Dongtai?"

Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "If you don't prepare for the next stop, you'd be stupid. From now on, Dongtai is a city with great potential, but it's not a place for officials to grow. When a city's economic structure tends to be stable and intact, it will be much more difficult for officials to stand out. The so-called political achievements are not icing on the cake, but timely assistance. Dongtai now needs to attract investment and key projects. You can no longer fully exert your abilities here, so changing the environment is more suitable for you. After all, you are less than 30 years old and still have a lot of room for development."

Fang Zhicheng asked with a smile: "Then Sister Vanilla, where do you think I should go next?"

Ning Xiangcao shook her head and said calmly: "You can consider developing in Huaibei or Huaizhong..."

Fang Zhicheng has been thinking about his future. Although he is reluctant to leave Dongtai, as a young official, staying in one place for a long time is not conducive to his own development. Huainanbei is a relatively backward place in Huainan, and the economic development speed is still relatively low, but the low starting point also means a lot of room for development.

However, going to Huainan is also an extremely risky move. It is not accidental that Dongtai has been able to develop so fast. Even without Fang Zhicheng, according to Dongtai's current location, it is natural for it to become the fastest-growing county-level city in the eastern part of Huainan. From another perspective, if you go to Huainan and don't develop well, you may also put your career there for the rest of your life.

Going to Huaizhong for development is a good choice. Now the eastern part of Huainan is already the most developed region in China. According to the national policy, it will gradually move from east to west. As a hub fortress, entering Huaizhong now not only has space but also can take advantage of the policy.

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "I am just a small civil servant. How can I decide how to develop?"

Ning Xiangcao shook her head and said, "For ordinary civil servants, it is indeed difficult to decide their own future prospects, but you are different. You have a good teacher who will plan for your future and will also refer to your own intentions."

Fang Zhicheng knew that Ning Xiangcao was referring to Song Wendi. He sighed. He actually had the opportunity to leave Yinzhou more than two years ago. He was reluctant at that time for several reasons. His mother had just passed away. Leaving his hometown seemed to abandon something in his heart. In addition, his relationship with Qin Yuming was ambiguous at the time, and he was reluctant to leave Qin Yuming, who was in great pain at the time.

Now that the impact of his mother's death has faded away and his relationship with Qin Yuming has become stable, he can decide to leave Yinzhou and try to develop in other cities.

He applied for the civil service exam just to have a stable job after graduation and to make his mother feel at ease. It's not that he doesn't have ambitions and passion, it's just that the time has not come yet. Ning Xiangcao's words made Fang Zhicheng ponder for a long time.

After hanging up Ning Xiangcao's phone, Zhan Yao walked in and reported softly, "The County Party Committee Office notified us that the Standing Committee will be convened in ten minutes. Boss, do you need to prepare anything?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand, took out the notebook, put the pen in it, and said casually: "No need, today's meeting probably won't be too long, you can go home early in the evening."

Zhan Yao smiled faintly, nodded and walked out.

After Fang Zhicheng left the office, he patted his forehead, went back to get a teacup, and then walked slowly towards the meeting room.

Zhan Yao felt relieved when he saw Fang Zhicheng go and come back.

Today's Standing Committee meeting is very special, it can be said to be the end of an era. Sun Weiming is about to leave Dongtai, and the Sun faction that once controlled Dongtai will gradually withdraw from the stage. Dongtai is about to usher in new development. This time, the fate is no longer simply in the hands of one person, but a large number of new forces will become the protagonists of this era.

Dongtai has a brand-new business structure, a "millions of talents introduction project", and a medium- and long-term plan for a "sub-financial" center. Its development in the next five years will definitely be eye-opening - and it is not just Zhan Yao who has this idea and confidence.

Chapter 0441: A Bag Full of Books for a Long Journey

After the Standing Committee meeting, Sun Weiming unexpectedly called Fang Zhicheng, and Fang Zhicheng followed Sun Weiming into the county party secretary's office. The two talked for much longer than expected. Fang Zhicheng knew that Sun Weiming was trying to speak frankly and open up to each other and relieve the knot in their hearts.

Fang Zhicheng could understand why Sun Weiming had such intention. He was about to go to the Provincial Party School to study, and he certainly would no longer be able to take care of every detail of Dongtai. Although it would cost him a bit of his prestige, at least it would make Fang Zhicheng ease his hatred for him on the surface, which was also beneficial to him.

When officials act in the government for the sake of their own interests, what does the so-called face matter

Sun Weiming handed Fang Zhicheng a cigarette. Fang Zhicheng did not refuse. He took it and took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it for Sun Weiming. Sun Weiming took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhicheng, why can't we be friends?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled and sighed, "Secretary Weiming, I want to ask, what is the definition of the friend you mentioned?"

Sun Weiming thought for a moment and sighed, "You mean, you and I have different understandings of the word friend, so we are destined to not be friends?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Secretary Weiming, you are my immediate superior. What you call a friend is someone who puts you first in everything and does not tolerate others' disobedience. However, I believe that friends should help each other and go hand in hand. As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. I have different views from you on many things, so I have always kept my distance from you."

Sun Weiming was somewhat surprised by Fang Zhicheng's blunt words, and at the same time he sighed a little. Then he smiled faintly and said, "In the officialdom, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Zhicheng, you still see black and white too clearly. When you reach my age, you will know that sometimes you must compromise when it is time to do so."

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I'm not your age yet. Besides, Secretary Weiming, you are too absolute. You are talking about a rule, but rules are made by people. Not everyone needs to follow the rules. In addition, old rules need someone to break them. The country is advocating reform and opening up. Isn't the so-called reform about breaking the old rules and doing innovative work in an unconventional way?"

Sun Weiming smiled and said, "I have worked with you for so long, and you finally spoke your mind. Zhicheng, you are a young official full of idealism, and you have responded to me with your actual actions - if you stand outside the rules and regulations, you will not be unable to move forward. Now I think, if I had been more tolerant of you when you first came to Dongtai, I am afraid that our relationship would not have become so awkward, right?"

Fang Zhicheng saw Sun Weiming take another step back, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If I give you another chance, given your personality, I'm afraid you won't let me mess around in Dongtai, and I won't be willing to follow your instructions and work dogmatically and step by step."

Sun Weiming thought about it and agreed: "You are right! I originally wanted to ease the conflict with you. It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards me. Of course, I also have a lot of opinions about you. I don't want to explain anything anymore. I just hope that you can bring more miracles to Dongtai in the future."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Secretary Weiming, I think you should explain this to County Magistrate Xing and Secretary Duan. It's inappropriate to tell me."

Sun Weiming smiled faintly and said, "I know that Dongtai is just a stepping stone for you. You will leave Dongtai soon, but many things you left behind cannot be taken away. I admit that I lost to you, but not to Xing Jike and Duan Xuan. What Dongtai will eventually become and what a bright future it will have, that is also your contribution. What does it have to do with others?"

Fang Zhicheng sighed lightly, smiled modestly, and said, "Secretary Weiming, thank you for your high evaluation of me."
