The next day, Wen Ling brought her mother who had just completed treatment in Qiong Jin to Hanzhou. Fang Zhicheng took time out in the evening to receive her. This was mainly for Qin Lang's sake. After all, he and Qin Yuming were like family, and her brother was his brother. As for the fact that Qin Lang was so attentive to Wen Ling, Fang Zhicheng felt that he should give Qin Lang some extra points.
The three of them met at a restaurant with a nice environment. The dishes in the restaurant are mainly Hanzhou cuisine. Hanzhou cuisine is very special in China. It tastes sweet, has a variety of dishes, and is exquisite.
Wen Ling has become much more mature than she was six months ago. The immaturity she had when she first entered society is long gone. Her every move and gesture now has a unique temperament of a female official. She is calm, confident and full of substance.
Wen Ling's mother looked very young, less than fifty years old, and dressed very fashionably. Mother Wen looked Fang Zhicheng up and down and said with emotion: "Director Fang, you look very young, which really surprised me."
When Wen Ling introduced Fang Zhicheng, she did not mention his age. She just said that he was Qin Lang's brother-in-law, who used to be the deputy mayor of Dongtai and is now the mayor of Xiaguang District. According to Mother Wen's understanding, this should be a middle-aged man in his forties.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Many people say this, I'm used to it. By the way, how is your health, aunt?"
Mother Wen nodded quickly and said with a smile, "The quality of doctors in big hospitals is different. They were very enthusiastic when I went there, and checked on me twice a day. I only stayed in the hospital for a week and I was fine. I heard that you also helped pay for the medical expenses. I don't know how much it was. I'll ask Wen Ling to pay you back when the time comes."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands and said, "Wen Ling is Qin Lang's girlfriend. We are all family. How can we be different? Besides, this matter was arranged by my friend. I don't know the specific medical expenses."
Mother Wen showed a look of regret and said, "I hate owing favors to others the most. You've done this and I feel sorry for you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and suggested: "How about this, if you have time in the future, treat me and my friend to a meal, and we'll be even."
Wen Ling knew that Fang Zhicheng was just being polite. He had helped so much, so how could he be greedy for a meal? This was just to appease her mother.
Wen Ling said: "Mom, although District Chief Fang is young, he is very capable. Many of the big projects in Dongtai were attracted by him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled modestly and said, “Wen Ling, what you said is all thanks to everyone.”
Wen Ling pouted and said, "Everyone in Yinzhou Merchants Group knows the whole story of Merchants Group's development. When Merchants Group was first established, it was extremely poor and even its office was located in a very remote place. All the changes started when you took office. Within a year, you moved the office address, established two branches, and attracted tens of billions of projects. If someone else were to do it, they would definitely not do as well as you."
Being praised by a little girl like this, Fang Zhicheng still felt a little light-hearted, but he remained calm on the surface and changed the subject, "How is Dongtai's investment promotion work going recently?"
Wen Ling sighed and said, "The work has become much more difficult. All the better land in Dongtai has been developed, and the demolition work is progressing slowly. Even if we attract better projects, we still have to wait in line, so everyone's enthusiasm is not that high."
Fang Zhicheng reminded: "This is the inevitable pain of rapid development. In my opinion, Dongtai needs to slow down the pace of attracting investment, be patient and provide good services, and honor the original promises to enterprises. This is a more prudent approach."
Wen Ling smiled and said, "Director Wei has emphasized this in many conferences, but it's a little out of control now. We're moving too fast."
The Director Wei mentioned by Wen Ling is undoubtedly Wei Xiaoyan. Wei Xiaoyan is a very smart woman, and her intelligence is not inferior to Li Hui. She is now the main person in charge of the Merchants Bureau. Li Hui has now entered the municipal government and will focus more on the city's economic work. Wei Xiaoyan has become the decision-maker of the daily affairs of the Merchants Bureau.
Fang Zhicheng nodded, thinking that he needed to give Li Hui and the others a reminder. Attracting investment is a tonic, but the more tonics there are, the more effective they are. After all, the bearing capacity of a place is limited. If you add too much, it will overflow, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
The three of them got along well. In the middle of the conversation, Qin Lang called Wen Ling, who quickly handed the phone to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng walked out of the room holding the phone. Qin Lang thanked him, "Brother, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have broken up with Wen Ling."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It's not that serious, is it? Wen Ling is a very sensible girl."
Qin Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, that's being reasonable to other people. She is a perfectionist and has very high demands on herself, so as her boyfriend, I am under a lot of pressure. I have learned about her mother's illness before, and it is not particularly serious, but she insisted on going to the best hospital in Qiongjin for examination, so I had no choice but to seek help from you. Also, her mother is also a very difficult person to deal with, with a very bad temper. It is said that she was hospitalized in Yinzhou before, and she changed several doctors but was not satisfied with them."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and advised: "Don't take it too seriously. Having requirements is a good thing. It forces you to constantly improve yourself and pursue progress. Your sister and I both think that you have made great progress in the past two years."
Qin Lang scratched his head, laughed twice, and said, "I see. With your support, I will continue to work hard and will never let you down."
Just as Fang Zhicheng walked out of the box and talked to Qin Lang, the mother and daughter in the box began a brief conversation.
Mother Wen asked, "How old is Qin Lang's brother-in-law? He looks only a few years older than you."
Wen Ling smiled and said, "He's about three or four years older than me, Mom, why do you care about this?"
Mother Wen felt something was wrong and asked in confusion: "Didn't Qin Lang's sister say that she was seven or eight years older than him? In other words, his brother-in-law is several years younger than his sister?"
Wen Ling nodded and said, "Mom, she's a few years younger, so what? Let's stop worrying about other people's affairs, right?"
Mother Wen sighed and said, "To be honest, I'm not satisfied with Qin Lang. If you want to find someone, at least look for someone like his brother-in-law, who is capable, competent, and enthusiastic."
Wen Ling rolled her eyes at Mother Wen and whispered, "Mom, how can you say that?"
Mother Wen waved her hand and said regretfully: "You and Qin Lang are already a fait accompli. I won't stop you. I'm just complaining."
Wen Ling solemnly warned her mother, "Mom, don't ever have this kind of thought in the future. Qin Lang and I have decided to be together, so I hope you will respect my decision. No matter whether Qin Lang is rich or poor in the future, I will never leave him."
Mother Wen smiled helplessly and said, "Silly girl!"
Chapter 0523 Sister Gives Birth to You
Wen Ling knows her mother very well. She hopes to find a man who is good enough to protect her from the wind and rain. Although Qin Lang is a good person and loves her very much, he has just graduated from university and does not have enough experience and experience, so it is difficult for him to catch her mother's eye.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. From many small details of the meal just now, it can be seen that Wen Ling admires Fang Zhicheng very much. The daughter's personality has always been very arrogant, and she rarely praises a member of the opposite sex in front of her mother, but Wen Ling broke this rule more than once just now.
Fang Zhicheng walked in from outside the box, and the mother and daughter ended their brief discussion. Fang Zhicheng returned the phone to Wen Ling and said with a smile: "Qin Lang is very concerned about Auntie's health. He was finally relieved to hear that she has recovered from the illness."
Mother Wen said: "Qin Lang is a good kid, but he is still a little childish."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "People will always grow up. After all, he has only been in society for a year. He still needs time to slowly enrich himself and become stronger."
Mother Wen looked at Fang Zhicheng seriously and said with a smile, "I'm afraid he will never be able to catch up with you in his lifetime."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, because what Mother Wen said was a little strange. What was the point of comparing Qin Lang with himself? He responded: "Qin Lang has his own advantages and potential. I think I can't compare with him in some aspects."
Mother Wen sighed and said, "You are really modest. However, I still need to think about Qin Lang and Wen Ling's affairs. After all..."
