"Send me your bank account number and I will transfer the money to you tomorrow morning." Fang Zhicheng said helplessly.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance.

Fang Zhicheng was willing to help Cheng Bin mainly for Qin Yuming's sake. When he was studying in college, before his mother passed away, she had always been unwell, and Qin Yuming often took care of her. When his mother passed away, Qin Yuming also helped him all the time.

Fang Zhicheng had already regarded Qin Yuming as a relative from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter 0005 Flowers planted in cow dung

Although Cheng Bin is very romantic, the only thing that can be forgiven is that he is sincere to Qin Yuming. The two have been married for so many years, and Cheng Bin has cheated on Qin Yuming many times, but he has never cheated on Qin Yuming in spirit. Every time he was found out by Qin Yuming, he would end the relationship with the third party without hesitation. Even after being issued a wanted order by Mr. Ding, he still thought about Qin Yuming and asked Fang Zhicheng to protect Qin Yuming, which shows that Qin Yuming is very important in his heart.

Cheng Bin cheated on Ding Ye. If Ding Ye wants to get back at him, doesn't that mean he has to cheat on Cheng Bin? So Qin Yuming is really dangerous!

Fang Zhicheng washed up in a hurry, and after ten minutes or so, he stood at the door next door, straightened the wrinkles on the collar of his shirt, and rang the doorbell.

Qin Yuming only opened half of the door and hid at the door. She had insomnia yesterday and fell asleep in a daze until midnight. Now she was still asleep. When she saw Fang Zhicheng standing outside the door and knocking, she was stunned at first, thinking of what happened last night, her face was unnatural, and then she smiled and said, "It's you. Wait for me to change clothes."

Two minutes later, Qin Yuming came out in a changed outfit, wearing a pair of denim shorts and a loose T-shirt. Qin Yuming is 28 years old this year. Although she has been married for many years, she is a physical teacher at the Yinzhou University Dance Academy and has no children, so she maintains a good figure.

Fang Zhicheng sat on the sofa while Qin Yuming prepared breakfast in the kitchen. Not long after, she came out with a bowl of egg noodles and asked with a smile, "After work, you leave early and come back late. I rarely see you. Why did you come to see your sister-in-law today?"

Although Qin Yuming concealed it well, she subconsciously dodged when her eyes met Fang Zhicheng's. She thought about what happened last night all night and decided to keep it in her heart for the rest of her life.

Fang Zhicheng thought it was not a good idea to speak frankly, so he responded while eating noodles: "I've always wanted to come here and sit for a while, but Brother Cheng is at home, so I'm afraid to disturb your rest if I come over." After saying this, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and his ears suddenly turned red.

"Do we have to meet alone? When did our relationship become so distant?" Qin Yuming raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "By the way, how did you know Cheng Bin wasn't at home?"

Fang Zhicheng coughed dryly and lied, "Brother Cheng just called me and said he was going to the countryside with the troupe for a charity performance. He left in a hurry and probably won't be back for a month or two."

Qin Yuming felt something was wrong and frowned, "Why didn't you tell me about his trip to the countryside? Did you tell me?"

Fang Zhicheng continued to lie: "He said he called your cell phone but the call didn't go through..."

He felt that this excuse was unconvincing and his voice faded away.

Qin Yuming took the phone from the coffee table, flipped through it and found no missed calls, so she called Cheng Bin again, but the other end said, "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off."

She then stared at Fang Zhicheng from head to toe and asked in a deep voice, "Zhicheng, are you hiding something from your sister-in-law?"

Seeing Qin Yuming's sharp eyes, Fang Zhicheng felt that the truth could not be hidden. After a long silence, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and simply confessed: "Brother Cheng is in trouble and has to go out to hide for a while. He asked me to tell you... If you need help in the future, you can come to me directly."

Fang Zhicheng sighed after he finished speaking. He didn't know whether Qin Yuming could accept this result. Although Qin Yuming was strong, she was a woman after all.

Qin Yuming's pretty face was stunned for a moment, then she covered her face and cried bitterly, just like "her jade face is covered with sorrow and tears, and a branch of pear blossoms is wet with spring rain."

Fang Zhicheng sat there, in a dilemma. After a while, he walked to Qin Yuming, took a bold step, and hugged half of her delicate body in his arms.

Qin Yuming didn't react. When she smelled the strong masculine scent on Fang Zhicheng, her heart was suddenly trembling. Thinking of the diary she had peeped at last night, she felt extremely embarrassed and pushed Fang Zhicheng.

But Fang Zhicheng was very strong and she couldn't break free. In fact, Fang Zhicheng just wanted to give his sister-in-law a safe support.

Fang Zhicheng didn't notice Qin Yuming's resistance. He stroked Qin Yuming's smooth jade back and said softly, "Sister-in-law, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry freely. If you feel annoyed, just punch me a few times..."

Qin Yuming realized that Fang Zhicheng had no ill intentions but just wanted to comfort herself, so she simply leaned in Fang Zhicheng's arms and began to cry.

Fang Zhicheng held Qin Yuming's shoulders, motionless, feeling deeply moved. He thought to himself that Qin Yuming's marriage to Cheng Bin was really like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Finally, Qin Yuming stopped sobbing, took a tissue from the table and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "I know what happened, don't worry, sister-in-law is fine, you still have to go to work, go back and rest!"

Seeing Qin Yuming's euphemistic order to leave, Fang Zhicheng didn't stand up, but whispered, "Brother Cheng, this time I offended a powerful person... I'm afraid they will come to my house, so from today on, I will live in your guest room... It's better to have a man at home to take care of me?"

"Zhicheng, I appreciate your kindness. Cheng Bin is just hiding from the wind, he is not 'dead'. What's the point of you entering this family and getting involved? You haven't married yet, so worry less, lest your reputation be tarnished." Qin Yuming smiled sadly and waved her hand, "Starting tomorrow, I will live in the school dormitory. I don't think those people will dare to come to the school to find me no matter how brave they are."

Qin Yuming was right. Although the two families had a good relationship, they were neighbors after all. It would be bad if they caused gossip. Living in school was indeed safer than living in a residential area.

From Qin Yuming's tone, it can be heard that she is extremely disappointed with Cheng Bin, otherwise she would not have said the word "die". But Fang Zhicheng didn't know that Qin Yuming decisively rejected Fang Zhicheng in order to stop him from thinking about it.

Since Qin Yuming knew that Fang Zhicheng had a crush on her, she naturally had to keep a certain distance from Fang Zhicheng, otherwise she would be playing with fire and getting burned.

Fang Zhicheng sighed and could only say goodbye, returning home with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He took two big gulps of water from the refrigerator, and suddenly found that his chest was wet. He remembered that Qin Yuming had just leaned there and cried, and his chest was covered with Qin Yuming's tears. He subconsciously pinched it, and it seemed that there was still the smell of perfume.

After returning to the municipal party committee compound, Fang Zhicheng began to get busy. Although Song Wendi did not instruct him to do anything, Fang Zhicheng still tried to do something, such as sorting out the work schedule, cleaning, and organizing files. The workload of the municipal party secretary is very heavy, so it is crucial to ensure clear and reasonable planning, which is also the job of the secretary.

Song Wendi came out once during the meeting and saw Fang Zhicheng numbering recent documents. He nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Go to the Organization Department for a meeting this afternoon."

Fang Zhicheng immediately called the driver, Master Liu, and told him that Secretary Song had changed the itinerary.

Master Liu has been with Song Wendi for seven or eight years. He is a permanent driver, but a changing secretary. For a leader, a driver is more important than a secretary. For some more secretive tasks, the leader will arrange for the driver to do it privately. Therefore, when Fang Zhicheng called Master Liu, he was unusually polite.

In the afternoon, he came to the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and first held a work meeting of the Organization Department. The Organization Minister Cao Hongzhang presided over the meeting. After Song Wendi listened to the reports made by everyone with squinted eyes, he made several critical comments, which made Cao Hongzhang's bald forehead full of sweat.

It turns out that some time ago, when the county magistrate Hong Guangran was interviewed by a reporter, he actually said that "the county magistrate's phone number is not for ordinary people to call." After this statement was exposed by the media, it caused an uproar and seriously damaged the image of Yinzhou officials. The provincial party secretary even called Song Wendi specifically to criticize this matter.

Song Wendi is a Confucian official. He looks harmless, but he has an aura of authority when he sits in the middle. He said slowly, "First, the Organization Department must resolutely manage the "stinky mouths" of some Yinzhou officials! I have arranged for the Organization Department to deal with Hong Guangran's drunken remarks at the Standing Committee meeting, but the Organization Department just gave me a reply that they can't do anything about it! So what can the Organization Department manage? Is the Organization Department only responsible for the promotion of officials? If there is a problem, it is their own business. Why not change it to the Yinzhou Municipal Party Committee Cadre Promotion Department?"

"Second, the Organization Department must pay attention to strictly screening the quality of officials. It is already the 21st century, and we have passed the era of bandits being officials. If the quality of officials does not improve, how can they represent the functional departments of the state? Therefore, the Organization Department must remove officials who do not meet the quality standards from our team."
