Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said modestly: "Xiao Shang, don't forget, I am still young too."
Shang Yan blinked and said, "Oh, that's right, I forgot about that."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that his female secretary was quite quirky and outgoing. He smiled faintly, turned his gaze to the window, and stopped communicating with her.
After several years of experience in officialdom, Fang Zhicheng unknowingly developed this habit, slowly hiding his intentions and creating an unfathomable feeling in the eyes of others.
Many times, this feeling can only be felt in people in their forties or fifties. Therefore, every time Shang Yan gets along with Fang Zhicheng, she tends to ignore his age.
Guo Jinyuan drove to the parking lot of the building where the Yunhai Office of Dongtai Investment Promotion Bureau was located. In the second half of last year, the Yunhai Office moved to the relatively remote Huanyu Building. However, compared with the Pudong Building that was previously rented, the space and environment here are much better. The Yunhai Office has already taken root in Yunhai and has formed a good relationship with the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, so there is no need to rent in the Pudong Building.
The Yunhai Office is located on the 15th floor, with an office area of about 3,000 square meters. If someone who doesn't know it enters rashly, they might mistake it for an office area of a large enterprise. The decoration, furnishings, and furniture inside are all in a modern style, making people feel refreshed and capable after entering.
Wang Chong had been waiting for a long time. He is now the deputy director of the Dongtai City Investment Promotion Bureau, mainly responsible for the construction and management of several offices. When he learned that Fang Zhicheng was coming to Yunhai, he personally rushed from Yinzhou to Yunhai to receive him.
Fang Zhicheng followed Wang Chong into the director's office and said with a smile, "I heard that you work in Yunhai at least ten days a month now?"
Wang Chong nodded and said, "Boss, didn't you say that? Sitting at home to attract investment is always like sitting in a well and looking at the world. Only by going out and broadening your horizons can you find the right opportunities."
Fang Zhicheng tilted his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I'm sure, but I have never said this."
Wang Chong chuckled and said, "That's not what you said originally. That's what I summarized."
Fang Zhicheng patted Wang Chong on the shoulder and sat on the sofa. Wang Chong picked up the phone and called several heads of the office. Not long after, several people came in. Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "Wang Chong, what are you doing? I am not the deputy mayor of Dongtai City now. You don't need to report to me."
Wang Chong smiled and said, "We are not reporting our work, but we want to exchange work experience with District Chief Fang."
Shang Yan chuckled beside her, but realized that she had lost control of herself and quickly held back her laughter. She thought to herself that Wang Chong was quite interesting. In fact, reporting work and communicating inspection content were the same, they were just worded in a disguised way.
Several responsible persons knew that Fang Zhicheng was the founder of Yunhai Office, and they seemed a little nervous during the work report. Fang Zhicheng took out a notebook and carefully recorded some important information. He was also very surprised at the current development momentum of the office.
The Yunhai Office's investment promotion task this year is 26 billion yuan. Now it's more than halfway through, about 60% has been completed. The second half of the year is the golden time for investment promotion, which means that there is no difficulty in completing the task this year. A county-level office has exceeded the annual investment promotion task of Hanzhou City in half a year. This gap is still huge.
The gap between the cities in Huainan and Huaizhong in terms of economic development is getting bigger and bigger. If they do not speed up their pace to catch up, the disparity will only become more exaggerated in many years.
After the person in charge finished reporting, Wang Chong asked them to leave the office. Fang Zhicheng closed his notebook, sighed, and said, "Wang Chong, my purpose for coming to Yunhai this time is very simple and clear, that is, to build a Xiaguang District Investment Promotion Office in Yunhai."
Wang Chong said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, boss. I will assist you throughout the process and get the office established in the shortest possible time."
Fang Zhicheng showed a gratified look on his face, and said with a smile: "As for the business, you have to take care of it. During the early stage of preparation, my plan is to attract some medium-sized projects. Dongtai has become more picky in selecting projects in the past two years. If you think those projects are what the project department wants and are suitable for the development of Xiaguang, you might as well help us to make a connection. I can make the decision on the investment promotion rewards, and give high rewards to those who help the companies settle down successfully."
Wang Chong was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as there is food in Dongtai, Xiaguang District will not be hungry."
Fang Zhicheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course, this is also the early stage, and we need your help. In two years, when the office is mature, the Xiaguang District Office will catch up with you and become your competitor."
Wang Chong chuckled and said nonchalantly, "We have too many competitors now, and we can make a difference with Xiaguang District."
Shang Yan was listening to the conversation between Fang Zhicheng and Wang Chong and was deeply moved. She could see that Wang Chong admired Fang Zhicheng from the bottom of his heart. This kind of feeling was different from the ordinary feelings between superiors and subordinates. Obviously, there were many stories hidden in it.
Wang Chong's achievements today are entirely due to Fang Zhicheng's help. At that time, Dongtai Merchants Bureau had just been established, and the scene of him playing games in the office seemed to be still vivid in his mind. If Fang Zhicheng had not guided him step by step to standardize his work attitude, he would probably still be that idle office clerk.
Fang Zhicheng felt that it was a right decision to choose Wang Chong as an important chess piece in the China Merchants Group. Although Wang Chong was a little naive in many aspects, he was good at dealing with people and had unique ideas in attracting investment. More importantly, Wang Chong was a person who knew how to repay kindness. If he needed help, he would definitely help him at all costs.
Fang Zhicheng is best at attracting investment. If he wants to further open up the work situation in Xiaguang District, he must use this advantageous weapon to consolidate his position.
After leaving Dongtai, it seems that you have nothing, but some things cannot disappear, such as connections and resources.
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng and Wang Chong discussed the details of setting up the Xiaguang District Office. Fang Zhicheng had never set up an office before, and Wang Chong was very experienced in this area and gave some points to note. Shang Yan took notes carefully and asked questions from time to time. Wang Chong thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng's secretary was really amazing and admired Fang Zhicheng's vision for employing people.
Wang Chong originally wanted to take Fang Zhicheng out for dinner, but was politely declined by Fang Zhicheng. To be honest, he was a little afraid that Wang Chong would take him to some shady place.
After leaving the Yunhai Office, Shang Yan suddenly thought of a question and said, "Boss, if Xiaguang District sets up an office in Yunhai, will the District Committee agree? This will require a considerable amount of expenditure. Now the district emphasizes saving funds. I am worried that there will be considerable obstacles."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Your worries are justified, but we need to work hard to know the final result. We must prove everything with facts. I will have a good discussion with Secretary Deng on whether 'saving money' or 'increasing revenue' is more important. I need to have a good debate with him."
After breaking up at the door of the booked hotel room, Shang Yan was about to take a shower when she suddenly felt something was wrong. If Fang Zhicheng had an event in the evening and she needed to accompany him, wouldn't her shower be in vain
While she was hesitating, her cell phone vibrated twice. She clicked on the text message and found it was from Fang Zhicheng, "Xiao Shang, you can do whatever you want in the evening." She breathed a sigh of relief and stretched lazily, thinking that Fang Zhicheng was always such an amazing leader who seemed to always know what you need first.
After Fang Zhicheng sent a text message to Shang Yan, he sent a text message to Ning Xiangcao. Then he stood in front of the bathroom mirror and tidied his appearance with his hands. After checking himself until he was able to see people, he walked out of the room with brisk steps.
Chapter 0479: The First Golden Flower of the Ning Family
Ning Xiangcao told him in advance that she wanted to introduce someone to him. Fang Zhicheng thought that he must not embarrass her, so he dressed up specially and came to a Mediterranean-style restaurant. At the booth on the west side, he saw Ning Xiangcao drinking tea and chatting with a woman. From her back, she should be a woman with some connotation.
Ning Xiangcao had been paying attention to the entrance of the restaurant. When she saw Fang Zhicheng slowly walk in, she waved with a smile on her face. Fang Zhicheng walked briskly to the table and sat next to her. Sitting opposite was a woman whose age was unknown. She looked more mature than Ning Xiangcao. However, Ning Xiangcao looked young, only about 25 or 26 years old, so this woman looked no more than 30 years old.
"This is my sister Ning Yulan... This is my savior Fang Zhicheng." Ning Xiangcao introduced with a smile. Fang Zhicheng had heard before that the Ning family had three golden flowers, each of which was exceptionally gorgeous. Now that he thought about it carefully, the origin of these three golden flowers was, on the one hand, because each of them had an outstanding appearance, and on the other hand, because their names were all related to flowers.
"Hello, Sister Yulan!" Fang Zhicheng greeted politely.
Ning Yulan nodded and smiled faintly, "Hello! I've heard Vanilla and Grandpa mention you many times before, and I've always wanted to meet you. I'm very happy to finally meet you today!"
Ning Yulan gives people the impression that she is particularly friendly. In fact, people from large families are not all as unruly as imagined. More often than not, they are well-educated and rarely act superior when getting along with others. They know how to deal with people and things better than ordinary people.
Ning Yulan only said one sentence, but Fang Zhicheng felt favorable towards her and felt that the distance between them was not very far.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said to Ning Xiangcao, "You've been waiting for me for so long, why didn't you order first?"
