"Then what should I call you?" Fang Zhicheng said lightly.

Qin Yuming thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Call me sister."

"Sister!" Fang Zhicheng called out bluntly, and asked, "Do you have anything to do tonight?"

Qin Yuming shook her head and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Fang Zhicheng said softly: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Qin Yuming pondered for a moment and replied, "I'd better let me treat you. It's not good to let you spend too much money all the time."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who invites me. The key is whether you are willing to show your appreciation."

Qin Yuming smiled bitterly and said, "You're being honored? A slap in the face!" After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Chapter 0051 How to Save the Marriage

After receiving Qin Yuming's call, Fang Zhicheng felt depressed and irritable. Thinking of Cheng Bin, he could not help but gnashing his teeth, thinking that this guy was too shameless. Not only did he play around outside, but he also brought his mistress home, leaving his wife homeless. Not only that, Cheng Bin was still reluctant to divorce. He had never seen such a shameless person before.

While he was thinking, Cheng Bin's phone number came in. After Fang Zhicheng answered the call, he suppressed his anger and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Bin sighed awkwardly: "I want to talk to you."

Fang Zhicheng's face darkened, and he asked in confusion: "What can we talk about?"

Cheng Bin frowned for a long time before he said softly, "Mr. Cheng, I've thought about it for a long time. I really love Yu Ming. If we get divorced, she will leave me completely. I can't accept this consequence. If we get divorced, she will be relieved, but what about me? I will be in a dead end."

Fang Zhicheng frowned slightly and sighed softly: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. You two were living a good life, why did you have to torment me so much?"

Cheng Bin seemed to be choking up, and said painfully: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. When I was with your sister-in-law... I was useless, but I was very powerful with other women... Well, men all have that need. If I can't find pleasure with your sister-in-law, then I can only look for it with other women. However, pleasure is only temporary. Your sister-in-law and I have been together for so many years, and we have long been inseparable. I can't accept a divorce."

Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly and said softly: "Brother Cheng, you are really too selfish."

Cheng Bin did not deny it. He fell into painful self-blame. "People are selfish. I regret it now. I didn't cherish Yu Ming, such a good daughter-in-law. It's really a sin."

Fang Zhicheng smiled and shook his head, whispering: "If you want to confess, the object should be my sister-in-law, not me."

Cheng Bin said in a dry voice: "She ignored me, and I had no one else to talk to."

Fang Zhicheng felt a little sympathetic towards this man. Although he was not satisfied with Cheng Bin, he was a neighbor after all. Thinking of how Cheng Bin had helped him a lot, he softened his heart and advised with a smile: "Since it has already happened, let it go smoothly. After all, that woman already has your child..."

Cheng Bin suddenly interrupted Fang Zhicheng and whispered, "Master Cheng, if Yuming has a child, will they still get divorced?"

Fang Zhicheng was speechless and asked in a low voice: "Why do you ask that?"

Cheng Bin whispered, "Now my mother mainly supports our divorce because she sees that Xiaohong is pregnant, and my mother has always suspected that Yuming is infertile... In fact, it's me who can't... It was a complete accident that Xiaohong got pregnant."

Fang Zhicheng didn't know why Cheng Bin told him this. He asked in confusion, "This is your privacy. Why are you telling me this?"

Cheng Bin sighed and said sadly: "I want you to help me, help Yu Ming, save our marriage, save our family."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "I can understand you. In fact, Brother Cheng, I also know that you love Sister Yuming very much, but now it has reached a dead end, how can you save it?"

Cheng Bin seemed to be making up his mind. He finally said, "Mr. Cheng, now that we have come to this, I will just make it clear. I hope you can help Yu Ming get pregnant."

Fang Zhicheng widened his eyes, gasped, and was too shocked to speak. His face turned red and he stammered, "Brother Cheng, your proposal is too outrageous? Sister-in-law, will she agree to it?" Fang Zhicheng was very panicked. He thought to himself that Cheng Bin would not know that he liked Qin Yuming and was deliberately deceiving him. What man is so stupid to push his wife away

Seeing that Fang Zhicheng didn't say anything, Cheng Bin gently advised: "Mr. Cheng, the reason I came to you is because Yuming has feelings for you, and she won't mind this too much. Yuming is so beautiful, if someone else takes advantage of her, I will feel bad, but for you, this pain may be less. Moreover, I know your character very well. You have been helping me and are very loyal to me. After you have children, you will not go back to have children, which will save trouble."

Fang Zhicheng took a deep breath and said distressedly: "Brother Cheng, please stop talking. This is absolutely not possible. First, Sister Yuming is a serious person, she will never agree to this; second, the relationship between Sister Yuming and I is like that between a sister and a brother, and this relationship must not be desecrated because of this matter."

Cheng Bin was still not discouraged. He persuaded: "I will talk to Yuming about the job. I have been married to her for so many years and I know her personality very well. She likes children and she doesn't reject you."

Fang Zhicheng's forehead was covered with sweat. He was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. If he decisively rejected Cheng Bin, would he be desperate and seek help from others? Wouldn't that put Qin Yuming in even greater danger

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself and decided to slow down Cheng Bin. He whispered, "Brother Cheng, don't worry. I need to think about this big thing again."

Cheng Bin was overjoyed to see Fang Zhicheng finally start to give in, and hurriedly said, "Master Cheng, you must help me with this."

Fang Zhicheng pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if my sister-in-law agrees, I have no objection."

After Cheng Bin hung up the phone, Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Cheng Bin was really so anxious that he pushed his wife away in order to save his marriage.

When it was almost time to get off work, Xu Peng walked into the office. Fang Zhicheng knew that Xu Peng was here to report on the work of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery, so he went in to report. Xu Peng went in and chatted with Song Wendi for nearly half an hour, then immediately left, pretending to wipe the sweat off his head with his hand, and smiled, "Fortunately, I prepared the lesson well, otherwise I would have been really stumped by Secretary Song."

Fang Zhicheng handed Xu Peng a cigarette and whispered, "The more tricky the question is, the more the boss values you. Now you are a talent that the boss highly values, so you must work hard."

After Ma Xiangnan was placed under double supervision, the management of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery underwent major adjustments. Xu Peng entered the decision-making level as an important chess piece. Song Wendi would contact him from time to time to understand the progress of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery's reform. Xu Peng has now transformed himself and become a celebrity in Yinzhou Heavy Machinery.

Xu Peng knew himself well. He certainly knew that no matter how popular he was, he could not be as trusted as the young man in front of him who was the municipal party secretary. Others might not know, but Xu Peng knew very well that it was Fang Zhicheng's suggestion that allowed him to turn things around. If Fang Zhicheng had not let him feign coziness with Ma Xiangnan first, and then caught Ma Xiangnan off guard, Ma Xiangnan would never have been defeated so miserably. Xu Peng intended to get closer to Fang Zhicheng, and often called Fang Zhicheng to chat when he had nothing to do, and regarded him as a close friend.

Fang Zhicheng also knew the importance of building connections in the officialdom. He saw Xu Peng's potential and was willing to contact him.

Xu Peng smoked a cigarette, puffed out a puff of smoke, and sighed, "Yinzhou Heavy Machinery is very difficult now. Although Ma Xiangnan is gone, the remnants of the past still exist, resulting in a bloated organization and complicated processes. It is very difficult to make a change."

Fang Zhicheng glanced in the direction of the office and pursed his lips and said, "Don't you know what the boss means? It is precisely because this battle is difficult that you were promoted out of turn. If you are not prepared to sacrifice your life for the country, I think you'd better stop as soon as possible."

Xu Peng was slightly startled, then he scolded with a smile: "You little bastard, are you provoking me?"
