Qin Lang was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "Why are you having dinner with your brother-in-law?"
Wen Ling explained, "You don't know, someone died across the street yesterday, so I was a little hesitant to stay at home. After thinking about it, I thought my brother-in-law was working overtime, so I brought a lunch box and had dinner with him."
Qin Lang nodded and said, "What about now? Is my brother-in-law still here?"
Wen Ling shook her head and said, "My brother-in-law sent me home and then left. Qin Lang, when will you come back? I'm scared."
Qin Lang felt warm in his heart. He knew Wen Ling very well. Although she looked strong on the outside, she was actually very feminine at heart. When Wen Ling said this, Qin Lang felt that he was very important. Qin Lang smiled faintly and said, "You can come back the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Wen Ling showed bitterness on her face and said unhappily: "There are still two days..."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "How about this, I'll report to my boss every day and see if I can find an excuse to come back early. In the past few days, the key projects have been investigated and completed, and there is no important agenda later. You know, for official investigations like this, there are endless meetings in the front, and the rest is basically a trip."
Wen Ling nodded and said, "You decide for yourself. Although I really want you to come back immediately, you still have to put your career first. After all, you are the backbone of the family."
Qin Lang found that some of Wen Ling's words today were particularly heartwarming, and he was in a very happy mood. He smiled easily and said, "Wife, thank you for trusting me. I will definitely come back tomorrow, so you can just stay here tonight."
Wen Ling smiled and said, "I will turn on all the lights in my house tonight, so I won't be scared."
Qin Lang paused, nodded and said: "This is a good idea."
Qin Lang then chatted with Wen Ling for a while about the local conditions and customs of the research site. When he heard Wen Ling yawn, he knew she was a little sleepy, so he smiled and said, "You want to sleep, right? Then go to bed quickly."
Wen Ling said: "Okay, I'm going to bed now, you should also rest early."
After hanging up Qin Lang's phone call, Wen Ling turned on all the lights in the house, washed up briefly, and lay down on the bed. Although she had been on the phone with Qin Lang for almost an hour, for some reason, when she calmed down, her mind kept flashing back to the various situations she had with Fang Zhicheng tonight. Wen Ling clearly remembered every move, every word, and every look of Fang Zhicheng.
Wen Ling sat up straight and shook her head. She wanted to sober herself up, but she was still a little uneasy. Finally, she got up and found her cell phone, then sent a text message to Fang Zhicheng, "Brother-in-law, did you get home safely?"
After a long time, the phone vibrated, "You have arrived home safely. Thank you for the dinner you brought today. You should go to bed early."
Fang Zhicheng's message was obviously the end, but Wen Ling still sent one, "Brother-in-law, your method is very useful. All the lights are on and I'm not scared at all. But there is a small problem. The lights are too bright, so I have insomnia and can't fall asleep."
When Fang Zhicheng saw this message, he couldn't help laughing. He put himself in her shoes and thought that it would be difficult to fall asleep if the lights were on. He sighed helplessly and finally threw the phone aside. He was still very clear about the line between him and Wen Ling. This was a restricted area.
Seeing that Fang Zhicheng had not replied to the text message for a long time, Wen Ling finally put the phone aside. Thinking back on what she had said tonight, she realized that her behavior was a little too proactive.
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Ling slowly fell asleep. In her dream, tonight's story took a different turn. Fang Zhicheng followed her upstairs, and after entering the room, he hugged her and tore her clothes off frantically... However, dreams are just dreams after all. When she woke up, Wen Ling found herself covered in sweat and was very wet. Apart from that, she was left with a feeling of loss.
…
The next day after work, Zhang Xiaoliang was already waiting for him in the office. Fang Zhicheng knew that he had something urgent to do, so he waved to him. After entering the room, Zhang Xiaoliang said without waiting for Fang Zhicheng to speak, "Boss, I recently heard a piece of news that someone wants to harm you."
Fang Zhicheng frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Oh? I have been in Hanzhou for such a long time. Although I have always put the people first, I have inevitably violated the interests of certain interest groups. I can understand that some people hate me."
Zhang Xiaoliang shook his head and said, "There are many people who hate you, but few dare to attack you. Recently, a rumor has been circulating in the Hanzhou officialdom, saying that you have gained a lot of benefits from the Qionghan Integration Project."
Fang Zhicheng sneered and said, "I'm afraid you mean that Zhao Qingya, the chairman of Hongda Group, and I are friends, right?"
Zhang Xiaoliang nodded and said with a somewhat nervous tone: "Rumor has it that you and Zhao Qingya are lovers, so you gave Zhao Qingya all kinds of benefits."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands and laughed. "The Qiong-Han Metropolitan Integration Project is a national-level project that the province is focusing on. I am just a small cadre at the department level. How can I interfere in this matter? Besides, don't they know the relationship between Zhao Qingya and the executive vice governor? Even if they want to seek help, why do they need my help?"
Zhang Xiaoliang was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Any reasonable person knows that rumors are nonsense, but now the news has spread so widely that almost everyone knows about it."
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment and sighed heavily. It was impossible for people in the officialdom to be free of gossip, but Zhang Xiaoliang was so anxious, I'm afraid the rumor had already spread to the point of panic. Three people can make a tiger. If the rumor was spread too much, even if it was false, it would probably be mistaken for the truth in the end.
He said slowly: "Have you checked where the rumor came from?"
Zhang Xiaoliang said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because the source is not simple that I am so worried."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and motioned Zhang Xiaoliang to continue.
Zhang Xiaoliang said in a deep voice: "The rumor came from Qiongjin, and it was said to be from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. The rumor sounded true. Originally, the Qionghan Integration Project was not undertaken by Hongda Group, but because you had a close relationship with the Secretary of the Qiongjin Municipal Party Committee, you recommended Hongda Group to Secretary Song. Then Hongda Group had the opportunity to stand out from many investors."
When Fang Zhicheng heard the words "Provincial Development and Reform Commission", he immediately thought of Jin Feng, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. It was the first time that Zhang Xiaoliang saw Fang Zhicheng's expression so solemn. He continued, "It is rumored that the Qionghan Light Rail Group is about to be established, and you are also the one who played the role of the matchmaker, allowing Hongda Group to hold the largest share."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that the previous events might be related to him, but the latter events had nothing to do with him at all. That was because of Secretary Wen’s intention.
Fang Zhicheng knew that this was a deliberate diversion of attention. If others knew that Secretary Wen attached more importance to Hongda Group rather than the Development and Reform Commission in the light rail project, wouldn't that be a slap in the face
In order to change the outside world's view, the National Development and Reform Commission released this rumor. This can also be regarded as shifting the pressure and making Fang Zhicheng bear such a "bad reputation."
This has the intention of killing three birds with one stone. First, to divert the pressure from the National Development and Reform Commission itself; second, to discredit the Hongda Group and let the outside world know that it obtained so many resources through illegal means; third, to discredit Fang Zhicheng and make him bear the reputation of collusion between officials and businessmen.
In fact, we can just laugh off such rumors. But Zhang Xiaoliang's serious attitude may not be that simple.
Zhang Xiaoliang finally revealed the real reason and whispered, "There seems to be some movement from the Discipline Inspection Commission..."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and asked doubtfully: "Do they want to invite me for tea? This is all hearsay." If the Discipline Inspection Commission wants to invite him for tea, it must go through Xia Lanshan. Given the close relationship between him and Xia Lanshan, he should not take action against him.
Zhang Xiaoliang said, "It's unlikely that I'll invite you for tea, but I guess I'll still harass you. I came here today to give you the news in advance, so please be prepared."
Chapter 0658 The Fourth Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office
Zhang Xiaoliang is now in the same boat with Fang Zhicheng. When he heard that the Discipline Inspection Commission was going to harm Fang Zhicheng, he rushed over early in the morning to tip him off. Seeing Fang Zhicheng's nonchalant look, he wondered if he was deliberately trying to make him think that this was just a small matter, but he still felt a little worried.
Although Fang Zhicheng has reached his current position at a very young age and has a promising future and endless potential, the officialdom is complicated and the nail that sticks out always gets hammered down. Fang Zhicheng is in the limelight and is most likely to fail prematurely.
