Fang Zhicheng smiled and interpreted: "It turns out that you have the will but not the courage. Come to Hanzhou when you have time, I promise to help you make proper arrangements."
Xiao Qiang coughed and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Stop! I really don't have that idea."
The two chatted about their recent situation before they ended. After hanging up Fang Zhicheng's phone, Xiao Qiang sighed. He was also a man, so how could he not have normal physiological needs? But even if he had feelings, he couldn't tell Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng and Qin Yuming were lovers, and there was no reason for them to keep a secret. If Qin Yuming heard about his improper behavior, how could Shen Wei not know even if she was abroad
Besides, Xiao Qiang had been fooled once before, and was afraid that Fang Zhicheng would follow Shen Wei's instructions again and fish in secret to make him take the bait.
"This Fang Zhicheng!"
Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly. He had doubts about Fang Zhicheng before, thinking that there was some hidden relationship between him and Shen Wei, but after Shen Wei went abroad, Xiao Qiang no longer had doubts about Fang Zhicheng. However, Xiao Qiang was still wary of Fang Zhicheng. After all, once you are caught in a trap, you will be afraid of it for ten years. You can't jump into the trap that he and Shen Wei dug together.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly, feeling that his actions just now were funny. He seemed to have a guilty conscience, like a weasel wishing a happy new year to the chickens and ducks.
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng found a quiet place and slowly returned and made phone calls. During the New Year period, there were a lot of text messages. Fang Zhicheng classified the names in his mind. Some people replied with longer words, some replied with shorter words, and some simply did not reply. The key people should be communicated directly by phone. For example, with Song Wendi, Qiu Hengde, Wan Heng, and Zhang Tianling, of course, he had to call them in person, and with Zhang Xiaoliang, Cheng Hao and others, he only needed to send a text message.
If you have ideas but don’t have the chance to make phone calls in the past, you can take the initiative to contact others during the lively New Year holidays. Others will not reject you, but will feel comfortable instead.
After taking care of the interpersonal relationships at work, Fang Zhicheng called the women one after another, and first called Qin Yuming. Fang Zhicheng did not hide the fact that Ning Qiangwei went back to Xijing with him to celebrate the New Year from Qin Yuming. Qin Yuming was in a very calm mood, and asked Fang Zhicheng to take good care of Ning Qiangwei, which made Fang Zhicheng feel a little empty. When asked if Qin's father and mother minded that he did not go back with them to celebrate the New Year, Qin Yuming smiled and said that the old couple did not celebrate the New Year in Yinzhou, and I signed them up for a tour group and went abroad directly.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Then doesn't that mean you will have to spend the New Year alone?"
Qin Yuming smiled and said, I live with Qin Lang and his wife, it’s not lonely.
Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng called Ye Qingrou and was pestered by the little witch for a long time. When she heard that he was in Shanzhou, she threatened to fly to Shanzhou. After Fang Zhicheng used both soft and hard tactics, she finally promised to accompany her on a trip in the spring of next year, which finally coaxed her into submission.
The conversation on the phone with Zhao Qingya mainly revolved around the integration of Qiong and Han and the Sky Supermarket Network. Although the two of them now seem to be drifting apart and no longer talking about relationship issues, their concern for each other can be felt through simple language and words.
He called Qi Yun. After divorcing Cao Zhang, she spent the New Year at her parents' house. She sounded quite peaceful. Zhao Ning returned to Yuzhou for the New Year. Although the Zhao family had fallen into poverty because of the Jin family, they were still one of the largest families in the area. As for Tong Siqing and Jiang Pei, Fang Zhicheng only sent a text message and did not call them.
To Fang Zhicheng's surprise, he found Wu Haiyan's name while looking through the unread text messages. He had lost contact with Wu Haiyan since he left Dongtai, but he didn't expect that she still missed him two years later. Fang Zhicheng thought about it and sent a text message back.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Qiangwei found Fang Zhicheng and saw him buried in his phone. She asked, "What are you busy with?"
Fang Zhicheng quickly put away his phone. It would be bad if Ning Qiangwei knew the secret of his phone. He smiled and said, "It's the Spring Festival, so it's inevitable to chat with friends. By the way, don't you need to text or call your friends?"
Ning Qiangwei shook her head and said, "I called home. I don't have as many friends as you do."
Fang Zhicheng smiled awkwardly. He knew that Ning Qiangwei was well aware of his complicated feelings for him, so he changed the subject and asked, "What did you do with Su Yuan just now?"
Ning Qiangwei said casually: "I walked around the yard. I didn't expect the Su family's house to be so big. I walked around for more than 40 minutes."
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "Actually, this is my second time here, and I'm not very familiar with it."
Ning Qiangwei said: "I can see that you are a guest just like me."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I will fit in here."
Ning Qiangwei said: "That's your business."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "When you and I get married, it will be our business."
Ning Qiangwei pursed her lips and said nothing. At this time, Su Mo found them and told them that someone was visiting, so he asked Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei to meet the guest.
Those who came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year were all direct descendants of the Su family. Among the group of people, Fang Zhicheng saw Meng Xishan. Compared with the last time, Fang Zhicheng found that Meng Xishan seemed to have changed a little, and his back was not as straight.
Meng Xishan was very happy to see Fang Zhicheng. As an elder, he gave Fang Zhicheng and Ning Qiangwei a red envelope each. Fang Zhicheng felt strange because he rarely received New Year's money since he turned 20.
In addition to Meng Xishan, there were several other people who were core cadres of Shanzhou Province. After meeting Fang Zhicheng, they followed Su Mo into the study to drink tea and chat.
Shanzhou Province is the base camp of the Su family. After Mr. Su retreated from Yanjing to Shanzhou, he managed the place tightly. Although the central leadership also realized the problems of Shanzhou and sent several strong leaders, they all returned empty-handed in the end. Although Shanzhou Province has not made any major economic breakthroughs in recent years, the basic situation is still relatively stable, and the central government's policies are also in place, so the central government acquiesced to Shanzhou becoming the private land of the Su family.
But this does not mean that Shanzhou has no hidden dangers now. As an important province in the western frontier, it has an important position in terms of economy, military and culture. Shanzhou belongs to the Su family. While it is stable, it has also bred a lot of corruption. In order to avoid further hindrance to the Su family's iron lady, the Shanzhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection began a series of self-examination and self-correction actions in the first half of last year. In this action, thousands of cadres were affected. The seemingly suicidal action made other competitors less capable.
If Su Qing successfully advances, Su Mo will most likely leave Shanzhou Province and go to Yanjing to join forces with Su Qing. Once they successfully join forces, although it will be difficult for the Su family to reach the grand occasion of more than ten years ago, it is not far away. After Su Mo leaves Shanzhou, he will naturally hand over the affairs of Shanzhou to others. Among the people who came today, there are candidates.
Although he only talked a few words with the middle forces of the Su family, Fang Zhicheng could feel their trust and unity. The Su camp was accumulating a terrible force, which seemed to have been suppressed for many years, just waiting for the right time to burst out and make a big splash.
Chapter 0788: Hiding the Blade and Not Making a Sound
In the study, Cao Qian sat on the sofa, holding a teacup, and asked, "Where is Director Su?"
All the people present were cadres from Shanzhou Province. Although they were busy with work, they still had the opportunity to meet each other. They came to pay New Year's greetings today, not to communicate with Su Mo, but mainly to meet Su Qing. Because Su Qing stayed in Yanjing for a long time, it was very rare to meet her in Shanzhou.
Don't underestimate the meeting with Su Qing. If she reveals a little information, it will be of great benefit to everyone. Because Su Qing's position is very special, she has a good idea of the future development trend of the State Council. Therefore, several deputy ministerial-level officials are thinking about whether they can confirm some information and trends from Su Qing.
Su Mo smiled and said, "My sister just got home at noon and is resting now. I'll go check on her later. If she wakes up, I'll arrange for her to meet you. Before that, please have some tea and chat."
Several other people expressed their understanding. They all had channels to know that Su Qing had just arrived in Xijing two or three hours ago.
Cao Qian is the executive vice governor of Shanzhou Province. He is two years older than Su Mo and is the backbone of the Su faction in Shanzhou Province. If Su Mo leaves Shanzhou to develop in the central government, then Cao Qian will become a key figure of the Su faction in Shanzhou and continue the Su family's strong power in Shanzhou.
The other two are Cheng Pingchao, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Yancheng Municipal Party Committee, and Zhang Shunye, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Department. All of them have close relations with Su Mo and were also the core force that the old man focused on promoting and training back then.
The Su family is a large family. Apart from the side branches, the key now is to rely on those people who have different surnames but obvious identity characteristics.
The Su family is not just a family of old man Su, but also a branch of the family that cannot be underestimated. Old man Su's elder brother was once a senior cadre of the Republic, but his achievements were not as outstanding as Old man Su's, and he died very early. There are also many outstanding people in his lineage, either in politics or in business, but in comparison, Old man Su's lineage is still the core.
The main reason is that under the hands of Su Lao, a base was created, that is, Shanzhou Province was firmly in his hands. Most of the top families in the country are like this, such as the Ning family in Yunhai, the Ye family in Nanyue, the Tang family in Yanjing, and the Fu family in Bashu. In fact, more than 30 provinces and cities in China have long been divided up by core forces and have become the foundation for accumulating strength.
