The hangover soup wasn’t very tasty, but Fang Zhicheng still drank it all in one breath.

Fang Zhicheng put the bowl aside and asked, "Mom, the old man's death must have had an impact on the Su family. How are you now? Do you need me to do anything?"

Su Qing suddenly felt a little sad. Over the years, everyone has seen her strong side. How many people would think that Su Qing needs help

Su Qing shook his head and said, "Your mother is very powerful. What do those little tricks and tricks mean?"

Fang Zhicheng paused and said in a deep voice: "The matter with the Ning family..."

Su Qing didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to bring it up on his own initiative. He sighed and said, "You decide on this matter. I won't force you."

Fang Zhicheng thought about it and said, "I agree."

Su Qing showed a look of surprise and said, "Zhicheng, I hope you can be happy. Marriage is a major event in life."

Fang Zhicheng sighed softly and said, "When the old man left, I promised him that I would protect the Su family."

Su Qing was silent for a moment and left the bedroom.

Fang Zhicheng suddenly thought of Qin Yuming, Ye Qingrou, and Zhao Qingya. If he married the third son of the Ning family, those women would probably be hurt. Thinking of this, he felt really heavy.

Fang Zhicheng picked up the phone and called Qin Yuming.

After hearing Fang Zhicheng slowly finish his thoughts, Qin Yuming paused and said sincerely: "Zhicheng, I told you a long time ago that I will be with you for the rest of my life, but I will not marry you. I am used to this kind of relationship now. Without marriage, there is no bondage between us, and it is easier to be together. I support your decision."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Ming, I'm sorry. I broke my promise to you by doing this."

There are many people who have ambiguous relationships with Fang Zhicheng, but the only one who made a promise is Qin Yuming.

Qin Yuming means a lot to Fang Zhicheng, far more than anyone else.

Qin Yuming thought for a moment and said slowly: "Zhicheng, I have already remembered your promise to me. It was just a formality. Don't worry, as long as you have me in your heart, I will always be with you..."

Fang Zhicheng sighed. Although Qin Yuming said so, he still felt a little guilty. However, he knew that it was true that Qin Yuming did not want to marry him.

In fact, as long as Qin Yuming agreed, Fang Zhicheng would be willing to get married with her. However, the two had lived together for more than two years, and every time this topic was mentioned, Qin Yuming always avoided it.

Fang Zhicheng waited for Qin Yuming for two years.

If it weren't for the Su family, Fang Zhicheng would be willing to continue waiting. Even though Song Wendi, Qiu Hengde and others around him were putting pressure on him, Fang Zhicheng was still willing to wait.

However, the situation has changed now. For the sake of his mother Su Qing and to fulfill the old man's promise, Fang Zhicheng needs to take some responsibility.

Although the old man had abandoned himself, he shouldered many responsibilities for his country. When Fang Zhicheng saw him for the last time, he felt relieved, forgot the past, and wanted to do something.

Do something for myself, for Su Qing, and for the Su family...

In the following days, Fang Zhicheng did not rush back to Hanzhou, but followed Su Lin to show up in various circles in Yanjing. Su Lin was using this method to tell everyone that Fang Zhicheng was a core member of the Su family.

Su Qing also took Fang Zhicheng to meet several key figures within the faction.

Feng Yuanzheng stayed in Yanjing for a week, but when he found that the people he came into contact with were all marginal figures, he decided to go back early.

In Hanzhou or Huainan, Feng Yuanzheng, who is at the deputy department level, is already considered a big shot, but in Yanjing, where there are so many department-level officials, Feng Yuanzheng can't find his place at all. Yang Dechang, director of the Hanzhou Office in Beijing, arranged social events for Feng Yuanzheng every day according to Zhao Ling's instructions. Most of these officials are at the level of director or above, but their positions are not particularly important. They are used to attending various banquets hosted by lower-level departments, which is a way for them to increase their income.

Edward Yang called Zhao Ling and said, "We have sent Secretary Feng to the train. He doesn't look very happy."

Zhao Ling smiled faintly and said, "If I make him too happy, then I will be unhappy."

Edward Yang said: "What matters most is that you are happy."

Zhao Ling was silent for a moment, then asked, "How are you sorting out the project of the military-civilian airport?"

Yang Dechang said awkwardly: "This project is not easy to get. It involves the power of both the Military Commission and the State Council. I have contacted Director Zhou of the National Development and Reform Commission, but he said that the National Development and Reform Commission does not have full decision-making power this time."

When it comes to military-civilian integration, apart from the State Council, the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army has more say.

Zhao Ling asked: "How many cities are competing with us now?"

Edward Yang said: "There are about a dozen cities in the country, and there are two cities in Huainan competing with us."

This time, East China is going to build five 4C-level military-civilian airports. About twenty cities are competing for it. The quota is high enough, but the pressure is still great. Zhao Ling sighed and said, "You continue to contact and find the key people. When the time is right, I will coordinate and try to make a final decision."

Zhao Liang is very experienced in running projects. The most important thing in running a project is to find the right person.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Edward Yang called Zhao Ling and said excitedly, "Mayor Zhao, we have found a key figure in the General Staff. He is willing to meet with us."

Zhao Ling's mind finally became clear. He had spent almost half a month in Beijing. If he still got nothing, it would be too unreasonable. Zhao Ling asked, "Is he willing to have dinner with us?"

Edward Yang nodded and said, "It has been finalized. It will be tonight. Director Zhou from the National Development and Reform Commission will also attend."

Zhao Liang breathed a sigh of relief. If both the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Staff Headquarters were present, then the possibility of winning the project would be extremely high.

Around 7pm, at the Bauhinia International Hotel, I met Zhou Zhiwu from the Development and Reform Commission and Chen Yutang from the General Staff. Zhou Zhiwu is not very old, in his early thirties, and is now a director-level cadre. At his age, he has a promising future in such a key department as the Development and Reform Commission. Chen Yutang is a major, tall, about forty years old, and handsome.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ling's stomach was already churning, so he hurried to the bathroom to relieve himself. After going out, he almost bumped into someone. He was slightly startled, but found that the person looked familiar.
