Qin Lang said: "Wen Ling picked it. It took three or four days to find it."
Fang Zhicheng said: "Wen Ling has good vision."
Qin Lang slowly took out a cigarette and handed it to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng took it but did not light it, and put it on the table. Qin Lang said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go in and see if Wen Ling needs help. Please wait a moment."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Qin Lang entered the kitchen. Wen Ling was slightly startled and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "I'll help you."
Wen Ling glared at Qin Lang and said unhappily, "Why do I need you to help me? You left your brother-in-law out in the cold. What's going on? Go out and accompany him. I don't need you to get involved here."
Qin Lang was disappointed and had to go back to the living room to chat with Fang Zhicheng.
Qin Lang was a little scared of Fang Zhicheng, so he spoke a little unnaturally.
Fang Zhicheng talked to him casually for a few words, but felt that the conversation was not going well, so he changed his approach and explained the current situation in Hanzhou to Qin Lang while watching the Hanzhou news. In fact, a lot of things can be seen from a short piece of current affairs news, such as which leaders attended an event and what the identity of the person closest to the leader is, which are all worth further investigation.
Hu Gang did not appear in the news with Xia Lanshan today. The person closest to him was the executive vice mayor Zhao Liang. Zhao Liang had a smile on his face and his eyes always stayed on Xia Lanshan. Xia Lanshan occasionally turned around and exchanged a few words with Zhao Liang. It can be seen that Xia Lanshan and Zhao Liang have a very close relationship.
The problems in the city's financial system disappeared. Xia Lanshan took this opportunity to give Zhao Liang a warning. Zhao Liang recognized his position and his arrogance was restrained. The change in attitude satisfied Xia Lanshan.
If this trend continues, if Xia Lanshan leaves Hanzhou one day, Zhao Ling will become the ruler of Hanzhou. Xia Lanshan is training Zhao Ling as his successor.
"It's time to eat." Wen Ling's voice interrupted Fang Zhicheng's thoughts.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said to Qin Lang: "Let's go, let's go eat."
In fact, Fang Zhicheng had long felt that only by changing the environment could Qin Lang feel more comfortable. Qin Lang was too stiff in front of him.
At the table, Qin Lang's mentality did not change at all, and he still acted very restrained, as if this was not his home, Fang Zhicheng was the host, and he was the guest. Wen Ling knew that Qin Lang was afraid of Fang Zhicheng and it was unlikely for him to change in a short time, so she took the initiative to chat with Fang Zhicheng, which eased the atmosphere.
Chapter 0655: Ready to close the net
After dinner, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Wan Heng. Fang Zhicheng walked to the balcony, looked at the night view outside the window, and said with a smile: "Minister Wan, what can I do for you?"
Wan Heng said, "It's nothing special. I will be discharged from the hospital next week. I'll make an appointment with you. You must come to my house for dinner. This is what your sister-in-law Tang Xue asked. She is a very good cook."
Fang Zhicheng knew that Wan Heng was sincere and wanted to thank him, so he smiled and said, "Okay, when the time for your discharge is set, I will definitely visit you. But, are you fully recovered? If not, don't force it. If you are left with any sequelae, that would be bad."
Now that the crisis has passed, Wan Heng will actually be back to work in a month or two, so there is no big problem. Recently, Wan Heng has been staying in Yunhai Hospital for recovery exercises most of the time, but he will definitely attend the weekly Standing Committee meetings.
Wan Heng sighed softly and said, "I know what's going on, and I understand my own body."
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng and Wan Heng chatted for a while about the current situation in Hanzhou. Wan Heng had not been in the officialdom of Hanzhou for some time, so he was not very familiar with some situations, especially between Hu Gang and Zhao Liang. Xia Lanshan's attitude gradually became clear, and he was more interested in Zhao Liang, which had caused the situation of the Market Standing Committee to change secretly.
Fang Zhicheng also admired Zhao Ling. He had been low-key for a while because of the Palace Bar incident. After returning to Hanzhou for a few months, he was still doing well. However, Zhao Ling had been very low-key recently, without the arrogance and domineering attitude he had before.
Wan Heng sighed in a deep voice, "Zhao Liang's ability is too outstanding. He has made great contributions to Hanzhou in recent years. Secretary Lanshan favors him, which is reasonable. Secretary Lanshan's idea is to retain Zhao Liang, which is actually to retain a sustainable development money bag for Hanzhou. Two years ago, Zhao Liang had the idea of transferring to a ministry, but was persuaded by Secretary Lanshan. Of course, you also know that as a condition, Secretary Lanshan will strongly support Zhao Liang's work."
Fang Zhicheng had never heard of this. After all, his experience in Hanzhou was still very shallow. "It turns out that Secretary Lanshan and Zhao Ling have such an agreement."
Wan Heng said: "So you should try to get along with him peacefully. As long as his ability to run for money is irreplaceable, no one can shake his position in Hanzhou."
Everyone has their own core competitiveness. Running around to get money, this is Zhao Ling's core competitiveness. When you have core competitiveness, you have irreplaceable abilities in the officialdom where people can always be replaced.
Fang Zhicheng said softly: "Thank you for your reminder."
After hanging up the phone with Wan Heng, Fang Zhicheng stroked his chin and pondered for a while. Although Zhao Liang did not put any pressure on him now, it did not mean that he would not do so in the future. After all, he and he were already at loggerheads, and Zhao Liang would never give up on stepping on him as long as he had the chance.
So Fang Zhicheng must plan ahead. Isn't Zhao Ling Xia Lanshan's successor? The best way is to take away his status as successor. Of course, this is quite difficult.
"Brother-in-law, would you like some Tremella soup?" Wen Ling had walked up to him at some point, holding a small porcelain bowl in her hand.
It had already been delivered to him, so how could Fang Zhicheng refuse? He took the porcelain bowl, smelled the fragrance, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Wen Ling quickly said, "Actually, we should be the ones thanking you. If it weren't for my brother-in-law's help, Qin Lang and I wouldn't have been able to develop in Hanzhou so quickly."
Fang Zhicheng nodded while drinking Tremella soup and said with a smile: "Giving you a new platform is also a new challenge for you. I hope you can be patient and integrate into your position as soon as possible, and strive to make due contributions in your current position as soon as possible."
Wen Ling smiled sweetly and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, Qin Lang and I won't let you down."
After chatting with Wen Ling for a few sentences, Fang Zhicheng always felt that there were some subtle emotions flashing in Wen Ling's eyes, implicit and somewhat straightforward. Fang Zhicheng could see some meaning. He was not a virgin who had just entered the society, so he calmly told himself that he should keep a certain distance from Wen Ling.
After Qin Lang cleaned up the table and the kitchen, Fang Zhicheng stood up and said goodbye to the two. Before leaving, Fang Zhicheng held Qin Lang and said a few words, mainly reminding Qin Lang to pay attention to protecting his relationship with Wen Ling. Although the two have obtained the marriage certificate, they will encounter various temptations in an unfamiliar environment. From Wen Ling's eyes, Fang Zhicheng saw that this girl might not be a woman who would keep to herself. Qin Lang was very honest. If Wen Ling was playing tricks, he would definitely be kept in the dark.
Of course, when Fang Zhicheng said this to Qin Lang, his approach was relatively tactful, such as asking Qin Lang to pay more attention to Wen Ling, and to pay attention to maintaining their relationship on special holidays and buy her some small gifts or something.
Qin Lang nodded in a mumbling manner, and Fang Zhicheng had no idea whether he understood what he said or not.
After seeing Fang Zhicheng off and Qin Lang entering the house, Wen Ling sniffed and asked, "What did your brother-in-law say to you when he left?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I really care about you. He said that you came to Hanzhou with me and you must feel insecure in an unfamiliar environment, so he asked me to be extra nice to you."
Wen Ling was slightly stunned and asked, "Is that all you said?"
Qin Lang nodded and said, "That's all."
