Fang Zhicheng knew what Su Qing meant. Shen Xuan's existence might have aroused memories deep in Su Qing's heart. In a sense, Fang Zhicheng was also an illegitimate child and had experienced a lot of hardships. Su Qing didn't want her granddaughter to go down that path.
Fang Zhicheng sighed, "Shen Wei is very willful, and I don't have much to do with her. I'll discuss it with her when I have a chance."
Su Qing nodded and said, "You talk to Shen Wei. If she is willing to divorce, I will give her a suitable status."
Fang Zhicheng was surprised to hear this and asked, "What status?"
Su Qing said slowly: "I will communicate with the Ning family, explain the situation, and strive for their understanding, so that they can accept the child. The child will be included in the Su family's genealogy, and Shen Wei will always be the mother of the child. I will give her this identity as the mother of the Su family's child."
Fang Zhicheng said helplessly: "This seems to be getting complicated."
"You still haven't taken it seriously. This is a very complicated problem. If it is not dealt with in time, it may become irreversible in the future." Su Qing shook his head and complained, "Isn't this the trouble you caused?"
Fang Zhicheng finally understood why Su Qing was chatting with him seriously today. Fang Zhicheng had caused many emotional debts outside, and Su Qing could turn a blind eye, but since she had a child, Su Qing could not sit idly by. After all, Shen Xuan had Fang Zhicheng's blood in her body, and she was also the continuation of Su Qing's life.
Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will communicate with Shen Wei in person to see what she thinks. The child is innocent, and she is entitled and must live in a sunny environment."
Fang Zhicheng still felt guilty when he heard Su Qing say this. He didn't think as carefully and long-term as his mother. People change. Shen Wei and I have a good relationship now, but there will be changes one day. What should Shen Xuan do then
Fang Zhicheng said angrily: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
Su Qing's eyes became gentle, looking at Fang Zhicheng, and said: "Zhicheng, although this is a mistake, it can be redeemed, so you don't need to worry."
In the eyes of a mother, any mistake can be forgiven. This is the glory of motherhood. Fang Zhicheng said, "I hope this matter will be handled by me. After all, I caused this bad fate, and I will handle it properly."
Su Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I respect your opinion."
After a moment of silence between the mother and son, Fang Zhicheng was the first to break the slightly awkward atmosphere and asked, "How is the situation in Yanjing?"
Su Qing nodded and said, "The situation is a bit chaotic, but a little chaos is not a bad thing. Only in this way can we profit from the chaos and take advantage of the fire. The next No. 1 leader will not be re-elected. Although the successor has been selected, there are still many people eyeing him. Yanjing is now in a state of crisis. Your second and third uncles suggested that I let you go to Yanjing to gain experience. In my opinion, it is not the right time. You are still young. Wait two years, and when the new team is stable, then go to Yanjing. It will be the same."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Actually, I don't want to leave Xiaguang either. Even though it's a third- or fourth-tier city, as long as I put my heart and soul into running the business, I'll definitely be able to achieve results within three to five years."
Su Qing said: "Three to five years? That's too long! Although you are not allowed to come to Yanjing, your position still needs to be adjusted. Now your second uncle and I have not reached an agreement on what position to assign you. If you want to be more stable, you can come to Shanzhou Province; if you still stay in Huainan, the pressure will be great."
Fang Zhicheng asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Qing smiled and said, "I was planning to have you come to Shanzhou, but your second uncle disagreed. He thought you should be given more experience. After all, you are still very young and need to accumulate resources. If you were to go to the officialdom of Shanzhou, it would be like entering an incubator. You wouldn't need to work hard to accomplish many things."
Fang Zhicheng thought for a long time and said, "I'll listen to my second uncle."
Su Qing was very pleased to see Fang Zhicheng's statement, and said: "Your second uncle looks very serious, but he still cares about you. During this period, he often talked to me about you, although you may feel that he is a little cold when you are with him."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Mom, I know what's good for me. My second uncle wants to train me, and he's afraid that I'll go too smoothly."
Su Qing sighed and said, "Actually, I would like you to have a smoother journey, but reason tells me that it is not right."
Fang Zhicheng could sense the tangle in Su Qing's heart. The Iron Lady was known for her rationality, decisiveness and strictness in the officialdom, but facing her son who had been separated for many years, she could not help but dote on him and wanted Fang Zhicheng to live the best life. Although Su Qing tried her best to control the doting emotion, she could not help but release it, so Su Mo had a rare dispute with her sister over Fang Zhicheng's future.
It was the first time that Fang Zhicheng had talked to Su Qing for such a long time. In the past, they communicated more through the phone, but Su Qing was too busy, and even if they talked on the phone, the time was limited. So the mother and son cherished this conversation after lunch on the first day of the Chinese New Year very much. They exchanged a lot of their own thoughts and feelings with each other.
However, Fang Zhicheng did not touch on the very sensitive topic, that is, who his biological father was and what happened that made Su Qing swear never to marry and focus all her energy on her career.
For Su Qing, this must be a huge wound hidden in her heart, so Fang Zhicheng couldn't bear to touch it.
Chapter 0787: The Su Family Sharpened Their Swords for Ten Years
Seeing that Su Qing was a little tired, Fang Zhicheng stood up and left the room to let her have some rest. For Su Qing, every day was a high-load operation. Even yesterday was New Year's Eve and she was still handling official business. She could take a short break from the first to the third day of the New Year, but she had more work to do from the fourth day onwards.
Therefore, Su Qing will not stay in Shanzhou for a long time and has already booked a flight for the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Su Qing, as a woman, made her own way in a male-dominated society, on the one hand with the help of the Su family's resources, and on the other hand with her own efforts.
However, with the appearance of Fang Zhicheng, Su Qing has changed significantly. Her life is not only about work, but also about keeping abreast of Fang Zhicheng's situation. So although Su Qing and Fang Zhicheng are not in the same city, Su Qing is not unfamiliar with Fang Zhicheng at all.
As for arranging people to investigate Qin Yuming and others, Su Qing did it for Fang Zhicheng's own good, and also to avoid the situation of being isolated and investigated by the relevant departments again.
Fang Zhicheng left Su Qing's bedroom and stood in the corridor to smoke a cigarette. He had indeed never faced up to Shen Xuan's problem, but this was a problem he had to consider. Su Qing pointed out this problem and wanted to help him, but Fang Zhicheng was hesitant because he knew the relationship between Shen Wei and her husband. If he really let Shen Wei divorce Xiao Qiang, then his sin would become more and more serious.
Fang Zhicheng took out his cell phone and called Xiao Qiang first. Xiao Qiang was quite surprised and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, Happy New Year!"
Fang Zhicheng said: "Brother Xiao, I wish you a happy new year, success in your career, and a happy and peaceful family in the coming year."
Since Shen Wei went abroad, Xiao Qiang and Fang Zhicheng's relationship has faded, and they haven't contacted each other for a long time, but they usually send text messages to each other during festivals. Xiao Qiang was very happy when he received Fang Zhicheng's New Year's greeting call, and smiled and said: "My career has been established, but you have unlimited potential. I wish you a prosperous and successful year!"
Xiao Qiang works in the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, a low-paying office. Unless there are some major changes, it would be difficult for him to rise to the top position.
Fang Zhicheng and Xiao Qiang exchanged a few pleasantries and asked each other about their recent situation. Then Fang Zhicheng seemed to ask about Shen Wei casually.
Xiao Qiang sighed bitterly, "Shen Wei is studying abroad. I wanted to visit her, but the Organization Department didn't allow it, so the visit didn't happen. This is the sadness of our civil servants. It looks glamorous, but in fact it is an invisible shackle."
Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that this was his fault. He sniffed and changed the subject, "Brother Xiao, it's mainly because you indulged Sister Wei too much. She wanted to study abroad, and you let her go."
Xiao Qiang smiled helplessly and said, "Don't learn from me. Marriage is a besieged city. It didn't surround her, but it surrounded me. It's really miserable."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, “Actually, think about it another way. You are very free now, and you have every chance to be free and unrestrained.”
Xiao Qiang said quickly: "I don't have the courage. Although my wife is abroad, I still have to be careful. Otherwise, if she finds out, I'm afraid there will be a big fuss."
