Ning Xiangcao said truthfully: "Let me tell you the truth. Actually, tonight's meeting is a blind date meeting."

Fang Zhicheng was shocked and said in surprise: "Sister Vanilla, you don't want to introduce Sister Yulan to me, do you? Although she is very beautiful and young, I am afraid she will think I am too naive."

Ning Xiangcao chuckled and spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I introduce my sister to you? The thing is, there is a third sister in my family. She is 24 years old, about the same age as you, and still single, so I was thinking of bringing you two together."

Fang Zhicheng sighed inwardly, so that's what happened, and said with a wry smile: "So that's how it is, but I have a girlfriend."

Fang Zhicheng never concealed the fact that he had a girlfriend, and Ning Xiangcao also maintained a tolerant attitude. She whispered, "Zhicheng, remember one thing, many rules are made by humans."

Fang Zhicheng knew what Ning Xiangcao meant, and said with a wry smile: "You are forcing me to become a two-timing playboy."

Ning Xiangcao smiled faintly and said, "I'm not forcing you. I'm just tempting you."

Fang Zhicheng felt warm in his heart and said, "Forget about your third sister. If it's you, I can consider it."

Ning Xiangcao didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to say such a thing. She was so frightened that she lost consciousness for a moment. When she came to her senses, she cursed, "You actually made fun of me. You are getting more and more daring."

Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and said with a smile, "Courage is acquired through practice. Sister, you just said that you were tempting me. I am now brave, so why are you scolding me?"

Ning Xiangcao knew that her words were grammatically incorrect. She sighed helplessly and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I have already connected you with someone. Judging from my sister's reaction, she is quite satisfied with you. Although my sister is stubborn, she listens to my sister's calls very much. Just wait for the news and I will arrange a meeting for you next time."

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that it seemed that Ning Xiangcao was determined to introduce her sister to him. He also knew that this was Ning Xiangcao's good intention. If he refused, wouldn't he be too ignorant of the ways of the world

Fang Zhicheng sighed helplessly and said, “Okay, but Sister Vanilla, I’m not someone that every woman will accept.”

Ning Xiangcao rolled her eyes and spat in a low voice: "Don't worry, my sister is prettier than me and my sister, and she will definitely satisfy you. But I'm worried now, I don't know how my sister can do her job?"

Seeing Ning Xiangcao so confident, Fang Zhicheng had an idea and thought to himself, since she is not a dinosaur, then he might as well meet her and make friends with her.

Then the two changed the topic and discussed the issue of attracting investment in Xiaguang District. Fang Zhicheng had previously compiled the information on the investment in Xiaguang District and let Ning Xiangcao know about it. Ning Xiangcao said truthfully: "To be honest, Hanzhou's investment conditions are very average. First, there is no good geographical location. Secondly, there are not enough investment policies to support it. Finally, the business structure of the main places is still very old. It takes a long time for the new business system to enter Hanzhou to see the effect. Therefore, it is too difficult to get companies to invest."

Fang Zhicheng nodded, deeply agreeing with Ning Xiangcao's words, and said: "Although Hanzhou is very close to Qiongjin, it is geographically located in Huaizhong City. The progress of urban planning is slow, the population is small, and there is a lack of pillar enterprises. However, it is precisely because of the weak foundation that once it develops, it can create miracles. I think Hanzhou is not completely useless, at least one aspect is worth exploring."

"What?" Ning Xiangcao asked in confusion.

"Culture and tourism!" Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice, "Hanzhou has a very rich cultural heritage. Whether from a historical or modern perspective, it has produced many cultural celebrities and many famous scenic spots. Mr. Cao Mei, who just won the Mao Dun Literature Prize some time ago, is a well-known figure in the cultural world. At the same time, I retrieved information from the Tourism Bureau some time ago, and there are more than a dozen scenic spots in Hanzhou that are worth exploring."

Ning Xiangcao was still a little confused and asked doubtfully, "Are you planning to develop the district through culture?"

Fang Zhicheng explained: "From the perspective of social development, a mature urban economy must transform from agriculture and industry to the tertiary industry. Hanzhou has inherent deficiencies in both agriculture and industry. It might be a better way to skip the original step and focus on building a tertiary industry with cultural services as the core."

Ning Xiangcao thought to herself that Fang Zhicheng's idea was still very clear, but she still reminded him: "Many places across the country are exploring economic growth points, but starting from culture still needs to be carefully considered. Hanzhou has a foundation in this regard, but it is still difficult to form a point of interest."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Culture is highbrow, and money is lowbrow, but if they are combined skillfully, they can still create a good response."

Ning Xiangcao saw Fang Zhicheng pretending to be mysterious and said with a smile, "Stop playing tricks."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I plan to combine film, television, culture and tourism."

Ning Xiangcao understood Fang Zhicheng's intention and asked, "Yuming Media Group?"

Fang Zhicheng said, "That's right! The largest film and television base in China is Jindian Film and Television City in Zhejiang Province. They are known as the Oriental Hollywood, and 90% of the local fiscal revenue is related to film and television. Xiaguang District also has this potential and cultural heritage. Yuming Media Group has previously built a film and television base in Dongtai City. It is not as large as Jindian Film and Television City, but it has also gained some experience."

Ning Xiangcao was thinking about it, and after a while she said, "This idea is a bit outdated. After all, many places are building film and television cities, but the thunder is loud but the rain is small. In the end, not many projects can survive, and most of them become political achievement projects."

Fang Zhicheng said: "It depends on how you do it. Different governments will choose different approaches. If I apply the concept of a city operator to this project, what effect will it have?"

Ning Xiangcao frowned and said, "You mean, not only the film and television city, but also other government infrastructure construction will be handed over to enterprises?"

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Ning Xiangcao was indeed smart, and smiled, "Yes, the final result is that the planning of the entire area will be designed entirely according to the needs and ideas of the enterprises. The government will withdraw from the dominant position and participate in the construction as a supplementary party."

Ning Xiangcao pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "This is a bold idea."

Fang Zhicheng said: "This has long been a world where one cannot survive without madness."

Ning Xiangcao then slowly listened to Fang Zhicheng's description of the future development plan for Xiaguang District, and she was filled with emotion. She suddenly had an illusion that the person she was talking to was not someone else, but her deceased husband. He was once a man full of fantasies and revenge in his heart.

Fang Zhicheng finally realized that he had talked too much, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I talked too much today, and it's already eleven o'clock without me noticing. I disturbed your rest."

After being reminded by Fang Zhicheng, Ning Xiangcao finally felt a little sleepy. She yawned and said, "I forgot about that too. I didn't expect it's already so late. Good night then."

After Fang Zhicheng hung up the phone, Ning Xiangcao's phone vibrated several times. She then realized that her elder sister Ning Yulan had just called her, but the call probably didn't go through, so she sent her a text message.

"I didn't do my job well. When this girl heard about the blind date, she reacted so strongly. I had no choice but to persuade her in person." For some reason, Ning Yulan's text message made Ning Xiangcao feel relieved.

My sister's personality is not very suitable for Fang Zhicheng. If this marriage really happens, it will harm Fang Zhicheng instead. Ning Xiangcao can only explain her complicated mentality in this way.

After nine o'clock the next morning, with the help of Wang Chong, Fang Zhicheng visited several large corporate group leaders. They were all a little unfamiliar with Hanzhou, but Fang Zhicheng showed strong communication skills during the contact process, and more than half of the corporate leaders said they wanted to go to Hanzhou's Xiaguang District to take a look.

After meeting the last person, Fang Zhicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Shang Yan's pale face, he realized that the intense work rhythm had exhausted his secretary. He smiled and said, "Do you want to take a break?"

Shang Yan shook her head and said stubbornly: "No need, boss, I can still hold on."

Wang Chong reminded him in a low voice: "I'm afraid you can't hold on any longer. You haven't even had lunch yet."

Fang Zhicheng suddenly patted his forehead and said apologetically: "Yes, we didn't have lunch today. We were too busy and forgot about it."

Wang Chong smiled and said, "Actually, we forgot about it." This was not a lie. Today's schedule was particularly tight, especially at noon. Fang Zhicheng was worried that he would not be able to meet those business leaders whom he particularly valued, so he deliberately found a lunch time to block them.
