Chi Xi laughed and said, "That's right. She almost became someone else's wet nurse. If he really did lick her, Luo Bing would have made a fortune. She would have gained a district party secretary as her son for nothing."

"Bullshit!" Luo Bing was thin-skinned, but despite her good self-control, she couldn't help but curse, then swung her pink fist and hit Chi Xi in the chest.

Sitting in the taxi, Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Old Xiang, do you usually play like this?"

Xiang Xin scratched his head and said with a smile, "How can that be possible? These women are not easy to deal with. You can be excited just looking at them from afar, but it is very difficult to really get close to them. Take Qiu Xiaotong for example. Do you think she has a bold personality? But she has never had a bad reputation in the circle. She got married a long time ago. She has a child who is said to have cerebral palsy, and her husband is just an ordinary office worker."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Everyone has two sides. What you see on the surface may not be what you really see on the inside."

Xiang Xin was silent for a while, then whispered, "There is something I still need to say. You and Luo Bing seem to get along very well today..."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of fate is this? It's just a casual affair."

Xiang Xin reminded in a low voice: "Secretary Fang, Luo Bing is not a simple woman."

"Oh?" Fang Zhicheng frowned.

Xiang Xin said: "There are rumors outside that her relationship with Zhao Liang is unusual. She is only about 30 years old. At this age, she can become the head of the advertising department of Hanzhou Evening News. It is because of her connections in the city. It is said that Luo Bing has been kept by Zhao Liang since she graduated from university."

Fang Zhicheng asked in confusion: "Didn't Qiu Xiaotong say today that Luo Bing was getting married?"

Xiang Xin smiled mysteriously and said, "There are many people willing to take over these days. Luo Bing is pretty and has a career. It's not a difficult thing for her to find a backup."

Fang Zhicheng knew that there was no smoke without fire. To be honest, Fang Zhicheng had a very good impression of Luo Bing tonight, but he did not expect that she had something to do with Zhao Liang, which made him feel a little more resentful.

Fang Zhicheng said: "It is true that you can only know a person's face but not his heart."

Xiang Xin suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, I remembered something and almost forgot to report it to you. Two days ago, I saw Wang Ping and Zhao Ling's secretary meeting privately in a coffee shop."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I knew that Wang Ping was a spy planted by someone next to me, but I didn't expect that he was related to Zhao Ling."

Wang Ping entered the district party secretary's office after being introduced by several people, so his identity was a bit confusing. Fang Zhicheng only knew that he might be related to Zhao Liang, but he had never been sure.

Xiang Xin said: "When Secretary Xia was still in Hanzhou, Zhao Ling was good at organizing interpersonal networks. Secretary Xia even warned him a few times before he restrained himself. Now Secretary Zhang has just arrived in Hanzhou not long ago, Zhao Ling will naturally not give up this opportunity. He has already arranged many spies in the dark."

Fang Zhicheng said: "It's time to give Zhao Ling some eye drops."

Chapter 0741: Tacit Understanding

As Zang Yi pulled Zhao Ling onto the same chariot, the local snake and the dragon from across the river combined to become a force that could not be ignored. Both Zhao Ling and Zang Yi gave Fang Zhicheng a headache. Moreover, after Zhao Ling suffered several losses, he became much more cautious, especially after Fang Zhicheng pointed out the loopholes in the city's financial system last year. Zhao Ling began to make up for the loss. Now Hanzhou's financial work, both in terms of management system and working methods, has undergone a brand new change. Now the city's financial work is still reassuring, and there is no need to worry about others finding faults.

So Fang Zhicheng has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Zhao Liang to reveal his flaws again.

Wang Ping is not Zhao Liang's weakness, but he can be used to confuse Zhao Liang and make him expose his weakness.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu used a series of schemes. He first used a counter-espionage strategy to trick Jiang Gan into stealing a book, then used a self-torture strategy to make Huang Gai pretend to surrender, and finally burned down the entire camp in one fell swoop.

Now Fang Zhicheng has a "Jiang Gan" by his side, so he has to carefully plan how to use "Jiang Gan".

The next morning, Fang Zhicheng asked Zhang Xiaoliang to come to the office. Zhang Xiaoliang arrived quickly, carrying a file bag. After Zhang Xiaoliang sat on the sofa, Fang Zhicheng called Wang Ping outside and asked him to make two cups of tea.

Zhang Xiaoliang handed the file bag to Fang Zhicheng and reported in a low voice: "These are some clues that I recently arranged for people to investigate. According to your wishes, all the information about Zhao Liang is collected, including some groundless rumors."

Fang Zhicheng nodded, opened the file bag, and read the pages one by one. Finally, he stopped at one page and asked, "How many lovers does Zhao Ling have?"

Zhang Xiaoliang said, "Three... One of them is now the deputy general manager of the Municipal Guest House. Before she met Zhao Liang, she was just an ordinary waitress in the guesthouse. Another one is the deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau Office. Zhao Liang was in charge of environmental protection before, and they met because of work. The last one is the director of the advertising department of the Hanzhou Evening News. She met Zhao Liang when she was in college. Later, Zhao Liang took over her work. She was announced to the public as Zhao Liang's goddaughter."

Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly. The last goddaughter was Luo Bing whom he had met last night. Luo Bing looked sweet and pure, tall, and gave people a sense of cold beauty. It was hard to imagine that she was a mistress kept by someone.

Fang Zhicheng nodded and paused for a while. At this time, Wang Ping walked into the office with a cup of tea. He threw the materials on the coffee table and said angrily with a gloomy face: "Old Zhang, you are too sloppy in your work, aren't you? You can hand in this kind of information that has not been carefully investigated. It's too perfunctory. Some time ago, there were rumors everywhere that you had a bad lifestyle outside. I tried my best to suppress it for you, and this is how you treat me?"

Zhang Xiaoliang was slightly startled, and felt puzzled by Fang Zhicheng's sudden anger. He glanced at Wang Ping and felt extremely embarrassed. After all, Zhang Xiaoliang was a deputy district head, and it was very embarrassing to be loudly scolded by the district party secretary in front of his secretary.

Zhang Xiaoliang was silent for a moment, his mind turned several corners, and he finally figured something out. He retorted: "Secretary Fang, you asked me to investigate Mayor Zhao's information. I spent a lot of effort to find this. As for the other requests, it is really difficult for me to do it."

Wang Ping's reaction at this moment was a little unnatural. Normally, he should have left immediately after serving tea, but now he stood aside for a while.

Fang Zhicheng glanced at Wang Ping and whispered, "There's nothing for you to do here, get out."

Wang Ping nodded quickly and walked out of the office. As soon as he closed the door, he heard Fang Zhicheng say loudly: "From tomorrow on, you, Zhang Xiaoliang, will have to find your own way. I, Fang Zhicheng, dare not employ you, nor can I afford you..."

Before Wang Ping could react, he heard footsteps from inside. He quickly dodged to the side, while Zhang Xiaoliang slammed the door and walked out angrily.

Zhang Xiaoliang walked quickly while angrily saying, "You hairless fellow, you have such a bad temper. I won't play with you anymore."

Shang Yan was surprised and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Wang Ping shrugged and said with a wry smile, "I don't really know. When I brought the tea in just now, I only knew that Secretary Fang was very dissatisfied with District Chief Zhang's work and threw the materials."

Shang Yan sighed and said, "Recently, there have been quite a lot of complaints about District Chief Zhang. I guess Secretary Fang is trying to get District Chief Zhang to tone down his temper."

"Crack..." Just as Shang Yan and Wang Ping were chatting, a teeth-grinding sound of shattering came from inside. Shang Yan hurriedly ran inside, followed closely by Wang Ping. The ground was a mess and the teacup was smashed to pieces.

Fang Zhicheng seemed to still be angry. He paced back and forth in front of his desk and said to himself, "This Zhang Xiaoliang is too arrogant. He actually said that I was able to sit in the position of district party secretary entirely because of him. He thinks too highly of himself."

Shang Yan winked at Wang Ping, and Wang Ping understood. He quickly got up and went out to find a broom and dustpan, and came back to clean up the broken pieces of the porcelain cup. Shang Yan whispered, "District Chief Zhang, you are usually very dedicated..."
