Fang Zhicheng nodded and said slowly: "Old Xiang, if nothing unexpected happens, I will not stay in Xiaguang for more than half a year."
Xiang Xin was slightly startled, and said in a deep voice: "You are leaving? Isn't it too soon?" Fang Zhicheng has been in Xiaguang for less than two years, but it is normal for a young cadre like Fang Zhicheng to skip a grade in two or three years. But, if Fang Zhicheng leaves, what should he do? Xiang Xin inevitably began to think about his future.
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "The glow looks stable now, but I know that once I leave, this place will probably become chaotic again."
Xiang Xin nodded and said, "District Chief Mo is being oppressed by you now. If you leave, things won't be so quiet. If he becomes the district party secretary, Cheng Hao, Zhang Xiaoliang, and even I will probably have a hard time."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "So I plan to change the pattern of Xiaguang before I leave. Who do you think is the best candidate?"
Xiang Xin was silent for a long time, and said: "No! Although Cheng Hao is calm and reliable, he is not flexible enough in dealing with problems; Zhang Xiaoliang is a little too smooth, and I am afraid that the atmosphere in Xiaguang will change drastically if he becomes the district party secretary; as for Chen Chao, he is still too young to convince the public..."
Xiang Xin commented on all the members of the Standing Committee, and his comments were basically fair.
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Old Xiang, your analysis is correct. They are not suitable, but you forgot to analyze one person, that is you."
Xiang Xin quickly shook his head, waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Secretary Fang, I am even less suitable. I know nothing about economics."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "The economy is indeed your weakness, but the district party secretary's duties are not only to invigorate the local economy, but more importantly to maintain the balance of the government system and make the government run in an orderly manner. You are very good at handling interpersonal relationships and have talent and gifts in this area."
After hearing what Fang Zhicheng said, Xiang Xin felt mixed emotions, because he obviously did not expect Fang Zhicheng would choose to give the position to him after leaving Xiaguang.
Of course, he knew that this might just be a test. Xiang Xin let out a breath and said seriously, "Secretary Fang, if you really think highly of me, I will definitely grit my teeth and live up to your expectations."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and pressed Xiang Xin's shoulder. He had been observing Xiang Xin. Although he was not very good at economics, he was open-minded, handled problems carefully, and handled interpersonal relationships very well. A real leader did not necessarily have to be an economic expert. It was enough to learn how to identify and employ people. Xiang Xin was a person who could be trusted.
Of course, the final decision to hand over power to Xiang Xin will probably surprise many people.
Fang Zhicheng has not left the position of Xiaguang District Party Committee Secretary, but some things need to be arranged in advance. When he returns to the Su family for the New Year, during the family gathering, his second and third uncles must have made relevant arrangements. I am afraid that a series of changes will occur after the New Year, so he must make moves in advance.
…
Around 3pm on New Year's Eve, all departments in the district committee compound were closed for the holidays. After Gong Dehai confirmed that most people had left the district committee compound, Fang Zhicheng set off and Guo Jinyuan took him to Qiongjin Airport. Fang Zhicheng was surprised to receive the news the day before that Ning Qiangwei decided to go home with him for the New Year, so the two of them made an appointment to meet at Qiongjin Airport.
After arriving at the airport, Fang Zhicheng stuffed a red envelope into Guo Jinyuan's pocket. Guo Jinyuan was slightly stunned and quickly refused, but was stopped by Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "This is New Year's money for the children. You are not qualified to refuse."
Guo Jinyuan smiled, knowing Fang Zhicheng's temper, and accepted it. After Guo Jinyuan left the terminal, Fang Zhicheng dragged his suitcase inside. Ning Qiangwei had already arrived at the airport. According to the address she sent in the text message, Fang Zhicheng found Ning Qiangwei.
Ning Qiangwei was still as handsome as ever, with a ponytail, a neutral windbreaker, and shiny black military boots. Ning Qiangwei was tall, slender, and stood straight, so she stood out in the crowd.
Fang Zhicheng turned his wrist and said with a smile: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Ning Qiangwei glanced at Fang Zhicheng and said handsomely: "I know you are very busy, I am not so petty."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and thought to himself that this was the benefit of getting along with a tomboy. The reaction of a tomboy was different from that of a girl. If a girl was kept waiting for a long time, she would probably complain and act like a spoiled child until she vented her anger.
The things Ning Qiangwei brought were very simple, just a suitcase. Fang Zhicheng went over to help her carry it. Ning Qiangwei was slightly startled, but didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit consent to Fang Zhicheng's little courtesy.
After getting on the plane, Fang Zhicheng was about to put his luggage on the plane when Ning Qiangwei shouted "Wait", and then took out a book from the luggage. The title of the book was "Military Youth", which was very popular in the army.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so artistic."
Ning Qiangwei rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "I was afraid that I would be too bored, so I prepared a book."
Although Ning Qiangwei's tone was explosive and spicy, Fang Zhicheng felt a sense of familiarity. If the rose had no thorns, wouldn't it lack flavor

The plane took off smoothly. It took about a hundred minutes to fly from Qiongjin to Xijing. This period of time was neither long nor short. Ning Qiangwei held her chin and flipped through the military novel. She didn't seem to want to pay attention to Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng tactfully didn't disturb her. He glanced out the window and took in the night view of the city outside. The lights were dotted, and the tall buildings became smaller and smaller. The lights were extremely eye-catching in the darkness, as if they had become stars in the dark sky. He was a little absorbed in it for a moment.
The plane encountered air currents midway, so it was a bit bumpy. Fang Zhicheng saw that Ning Qiangwei was not moved at all and had gotten used to it. Seeing her doing her own thing, Fang Zhicheng closed his eyes for a while. He didn't know how long it took before he woke up slowly. Ning Qiangwei said, "You woke up in time. The plane will land soon."
Fang Zhicheng was stunned and asked, "Why is there no dinner on the plane?"
Ning Qiangwei said calmly: "Of course I offered it, but you seem too tired, so I will refuse the flight attendant."
"What about you? Have you eaten?" Fang Zhicheng asked curiously.
Ning Qiangwei waved her hand and shook her head expressionlessly, "I'm not hungry."
"Does this count as us sharing weal and woe?" Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to fill our stomachs after we leave the airport. We can't go hungry. If Big Sister hears about this, she'll think I'm abusing you."
Ning Qiangwei rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "You're overthinking it. My elder sister knows my ability to survive. I don't need you to take care of me."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Don't be so unkind. Since you are here to celebrate the New Year, of course I will take care of you the whole time. If you go to the Ning family... well... then our roles will be reversed."
Ning Qiangwei was just about to retort when the cabin broadcast sounded, reminding everyone to check their seat belts and prepare for landing.
The plane then slowed down, and from outside came a buzzing sound caused by the wheels touching the ground. Fang Zhicheng realized that it had landed safely.
After getting off the plane, he opened his phone and found an unread text message. It was sent by Su Lin half an hour ago, asking him to contact him as soon as he got off the plane. Fang Zhicheng called Su Lin back, and Su Lin smiled and said, "Lucky, we're not late. Go get your checked luggage first, and then come to the exit to find us."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "We don't have any luggage, we'll be out soon."
Ning Qiangwei and he each had a suitcase. As soon as they entered the entrance, they saw Su Lin waving at them. Standing next to him was a pretty young woman. Fang Zhicheng recognized her as Su Lin's daughter, Su Yuan.
Su Lin smiled and said, "I was originally going to pick you up at the airport alone, but Su Yuan insisted on coming to pick up my cousin and his wife, so I brought her here."
"Hello, cousin and cousin-in-law!" Su Yuan looked a little shy and greeted Fang Zhicheng politely.
