Fang Zhicheng consoled him: "Grades don't matter. Don't you have a group of brothers?"
Fatty Qiao shook his head helplessly and said, "We are all dog meat friends. We are all from different places. We don't know when we will meet next time."
Fang Zhicheng stretched out his hand and pressed Fatty Qiao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Although we are far apart, I regard you as my brother. When you come to Huainan in the future, you must inform me, and I will treat you well then."
Fatty Qiao smiled and said, "It will be the same if we go to Yuzhou. I will definitely receive you."
In fact, Fang Zhicheng was not unaware of the importance of building good connections, but it was better to make the best of one or two people than to rack one's brains to build good relationships with many people. Fatty Qiao had a good network of connections, so Fang Zhicheng only needed to build a good relationship with Fatty Qiao. As for others, just being acquaintances would be enough.
For Fang Zhicheng, this county training class ended smoothly. However, a small incident occurred during the period. Zhao Xiao and Tu Mei were caught in bed in a hotel room. Although the case was eventually suppressed by the Zhao family, Zhao Xiao suffered a great loss. It is almost impossible for him to be promoted within three to five years.
There are conspiracies everywhere in the officialdom. In order to frame the Zhao family, someone used Tu Mei as bait. This was too shocking. Fang Zhicheng thought that if it were him, he would be like Zhao Xiao and inevitably be led into the trap. After all, who would have thought that a female cadre at the director level would be willing to sacrifice her own future to frame another person
In official circles, if one does not reach a certain level, he is often just a pawn.
Chapter 0448 Life Often Needs Encouragement
After attending the county training class in Yanjing, a few days later, it was the end of the year. Fang Zhicheng's work was basically handed over, and the transfer order from the provincial party committee had been issued. After the Chinese New Year, he needed to report to the Organization Department of the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee. His specific position was deputy secretary of the Hanzhou Xiaguang District Party Committee and acting district chief, with a rank of director. So this year, Fang Zhicheng had no pressure at all.
On New Year's Eve, Fang Zhicheng and Qin Yuming returned to her parents' home for a reunion dinner. Suddenly mentioning the girlfriend, Qin's mother said: "Qin Lang, your job has been decided. The next step is to find a girlfriend as soon as possible, get married and have children, then your father and I will be completely relieved."
Qin Lang looked embarrassed and whispered, "Mom, you don't have to rush me. You should pay more attention to my sister and brother-in-law. They are already grown up. If they want to get married, they should get married first."
Qin's mother knew that getting married was a pain in Qin Yuming's heart, and she looked at Qin Yuming nervously.
Qin Yuming smiled indifferently and said, "Mom, you won't force me to get married, right?"
Mother Qin smiled and said, "I know you are not in a hurry, but after all, you are old, it's not good to keep dragging it out."
Qin Yuming glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Mom, my relationship with Zhicheng is very stable now, and we both have our own goals and directions. I don't plan to get married in the next five years."
"Five years?" Qin's mother's face immediately turned ugly. "How old will you be by then..."
Qin Yuming smiled and said, "Mom, you are out of date. Look at those male and female stars, they have been dating for many years but have never gotten married. Marriage is just a formality for me."
Mother Qin knew that she couldn't persuade Qin Yuming, so she asked in a low voice: "Xiao Fang, do you think so too?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Mom, I respect Yu Ming."
Father Qin saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he waved his hand and said, "It's New Year's Day, why are you making a fuss? Let's talk about this later."
Mother Qin pursed her lips and sighed helplessly.
After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, Fang Zhicheng took his mobile phone and replied to the blessing text messages one by one, while Qin's mother dragged Qin Yuming into the kitchen to educate her ideologically. Although he was a little far from the kitchen, Fang Zhicheng roughly understood that Qin's mother was worried that Fang Zhicheng would abandon Qin Yuming after a long time. Last year, Qin's mother would not think so, and it made sense. At that time, she thought Fang Zhicheng was just an ordinary civil servant and Qin Yuming was a big boss. In comparison, Qin Yuming's conditions were even better. But Qin's mother knew that Fang Zhicheng was the deputy mayor of Dongtai, and he would be transferred to Hanzhou for work next year. The two were separated by distance, so it was inevitable that some waves would arise.
"Yuming, I know you've had a failed marriage, but you can't be afraid of the rope after being bitten once, right? I think Xiao Fang is pretty good. He loves you deeply and doesn't mind your past at all. If you marry him, I fully agree." Mother Qin said earnestly while wiping the dishes, "Although you are beautiful and many men like you, women will always age when they get older. In another five years, you will become an old lady. By then, Xiao Fang will say he doesn't like you and kick you out. What should I do then?"
Qin Yuming shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Mom, I'm an adult now. There are many things that I don't need you to remind me of. I know what to do. Getting married is a big deal. I have to consider it carefully."
"What is there to consider? Xiaofang's conditions are very good. Although he has no parents, his character, personality, work and ability are all top-notch. When you have children in the future and there is no one to take care of them, I can help you." Qin's mother thought long-term, which made Qin Yuming laugh.
Qin Yuming washed the dishes, wiped her hands with a dry towel, stood behind Qin's mother, gently kneaded her shoulders, and whispered: "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good, but after a failed marriage, I have figured it out. There is no need to do something against your will because of other people's pressure. I don't want to get married now, I just want to live happily with Fang Zhicheng. If we get married, it is inevitable that there will be many conflicts because of money, and that will lose the original meaning of love."
Mother Qin could see the happiness in Qin Yuming's smile. She sighed and said, "Forget it. Since you have thought it through, I can't go against your wishes. So, I will not care about your affairs. However, there is one thing I need your help with."
"What's the matter?" Qin Yuming asked with a smile.
"Qin Lang's girlfriend." Qin's mother sighed, "I can't figure out this kid's mentality. I've never seen him like anyone since he was a child. I'm worried that he might..."
"What could be going on?" Qin Yuming was a little confused.
Mother Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe it's different from what normal boys like..."
"Puff..." Qin Yuming laughed and whispered, "Mom, how can you say that? He is your son."
Mother Qin said worriedly, "Didn't Qin Lang like to play music when he was in college? I heard that many people in that circle have sexual orientations that are different from normal people."
Qin Yuming waved her hand and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry about this. I can assure you that Qin Lang likes women."
Mother Qin's tense expression relaxed, and she sighed, "That's good. I originally thought he didn't date because he didn't like women. If that's the case, wouldn't the Qin family be cut off?"
Qin Yuming secretly sighed that she was too concerned. In order to reassure her mother, she said, "Actually, Qin Lang has someone he likes, but the window paper has not been broken yet."
"Oh?" Mother Qin's face lit up, and she said happily, "Who is he? Since he can't pierce it, let's go and help him pierce it."
Qin Yuming waved her hand and said seriously, "You must promise me not to interfere in his love life before I can tell you."
Mother Qin was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Qin Yuming knows her mother too well. Qin Lang is still in an ambiguous relationship with Wen Ling, so just let it develop naturally. If Qin's mother interferes, something unexpected might happen, and Qin Lang would blame her for the rest of his life.
Qin Yuming briefly told her mother about Wen Ling's situation. "That girl is very pretty. I've had dinner with her a few times. She's well-educated and intelligent. She's worthy of your son."
Mother Qin nodded and said with a smile: "Since he has a girl he likes, I feel relieved."
Qin Yuming continued to comfort her softly, "Mom, in two years at most, Qin Lang will definitely let you hold your grandson. You will have to bear the burden then."
Mother Qin raised the corner of her mouth and said, "No matter how hard or tiring it is, I am happy to do it."
