Father Sui was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's not hatred, it's just that the relationship between the old man of the Su family and your grandfather was not harmonious. The old man Su was called the old fox, and your grandfather was called the wild wolf. The two were in opposition."
Sui Qi snorted and said, "That's a problem for my grandfather..."
Father Sui's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he solemnly explained: "You and Fang Zhicheng are classmates in the Party School. You get along well with each other and there is not much relationship. But I want to remind you, first, the friendship between classmates must not be involved in love; second, one day when the two of you go your separate ways due to conflicts between factions, you must stand firmly on the side of the Sui family."
Sui Qi could hear the solemnity in her father's tone. She exhaled softly and said, "Dad, I promise you."
Father Sui smiled faintly and said, "You have been excellent since you were a child, and I am very proud of you. I believe you will not let me down. After the Party School course is over, according to your wishes, I have coordinated and let you go down to try."
Sui Qi said solemnly: "Dad, I want to go to a place with more difficult conditions."
Father Sui nodded and said, "I have already chosen the locations for you. One is Caoyao City in Huainan Province, and the other is Cuihe City in Weibei."
Sui Qi pondered for a long time and said, "I'll choose Caoyao City."
Caoyao City and Cuihe City are close to each other and have similar economic levels. Caoyao City is located in the northern part of Huainan. Although Huainan Province has strong comprehensive strength, the cities in the northern part of Huainan are relatively backward. Because it is located in the mountainous area, transportation is inconvenient, and resources are relatively scarce, the GDP of Caoyao City is not as good as that of a district in the southern part of Huainan. Sui Qi's choice of Caoyao City for training was also within the expectations of Sui's father.
Sui's father stared at Sui Qi for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything more. "Okay, everything will be according to your wishes."
After leaving the study, Sui Qi heaved a sigh of relief. She was assigned from the ministry to the local area, and she chose Huainan instead of Weibei. I'm afraid that a big reason was because of Fang Zhicheng's influence. This was not because she had any feelings for Fang Zhicheng, but she was unfamiliar with Weibei. Although her father's acquaintances secretly helped her, she was still lonely. If she went to Huainan, at least she had an acquaintance like Fang Zhicheng. Although the two did not work in the same place, they echoed each other from a distance, and she would still feel more secure psychologically.
…
When Fang Zhicheng returned home, Mr. Yan had a stern face and stared at him fiercely. Fang Zhicheng quickly explained: "After the party school class ended yesterday, I attended a party, drank too much, and finally slept at a classmate's house."
Master Yan snorted twice and said, "If you encounter any problems in the future, be sure to tell me in advance..." After that, he took two deep puffs from his pipe and turned to leave.
Aunt Chen stood beside Fang Zhicheng at some point and whispered, "Master Yan is concerned about you. He left the door open yesterday and even went to your room in the middle of the night."
Fang Zhicheng's nose felt sore, and he sighed that this was the warmth of home. He sniffed and forced a smile, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Aunt Chen whispered, "I'm most worried about the eldest daughter. Call her right away. I think she didn't sleep all night."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and quickly took out his cell phone to call Su Qing. After Su Qing answered the phone, she learned that Fang Zhicheng was fine, gave him a few instructions and hung up the phone. Although it was just a few words, it made Fang Zhicheng feel very warm.
As the class was about to start, Fang Zhicheng took a shower, changed his clothes, and rushed to the Party School to study. When he arrived at the classroom, Sui Qi was already next to his usual seat, waving at him.
This lady has already secured a good spot for him. Fang Zhicheng found that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him, with jealousy and amusement in their eyes.
Fang Zhicheng felt clear-headed, so he walked over, sat next to Sui Qi, and opened his textbooks and notebooks.
The classmates in the class were all quite old. If they were in college, Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi sitting close to each other might be mistaken for a couple. However, everyone had been in the government for many years, and although they felt that Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi were too close, they did not discuss it much.
In this way, during the remaining days at the Party School, Fang Zhicheng and Sui Qi developed a deep friendship as classmates.
Chapter 0816 Tiger's Lair and Wolf's Village Development and Reform Commission
The NDRC has always played an important role in China. Its predecessor was the Planning Commission, which was responsible for the planning and allocation of social resources in the planned economy era, affecting everyone's survival. After more than ten years of reform and opening up, the functions and powers of the NDRC have been weakened a lot, but it is still a recognized authority.
The Huainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission has a staff establishment of 154 people, including 1 director and 11 deputy directors; it has 22 functional departments and 62 directors and deputy directors (directors), including 25 directors (directors) and 37 deputy directors (deputy directors).
Fang Zhicheng's job assignment caused controversy within the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Because Fang Zhicheng was very young, only 30 years old, it was necessary to carefully consider which department to assign him to. For this reason, the party group held several meetings and finally Fang Zhicheng was assigned to the High-tech Industry Department.
The reason is simple. It is mainly because the staff of the High-tech Industry Department are relatively young. The two deputy directors are both under 40 years old. It is relatively easy to manage the department by a young director.
The main functions of the High-tech Industry Department are to organize the formulation of strategies, plans and major policies for the development of high-tech industries, emerging industries and industrial technological progress in the province, and to research and propose key areas for the development of high-tech industries and emerging industries; to coordinate the connection and balance of science and technology and information planning; to organize the implementation of major high-tech industrialization and emerging industry key technologies, complete equipment research and development and industrialization demonstration projects, as well as scientific and technological achievement transformation and industrialization projects; to be responsible for the construction and management of engineering centers, engineering laboratories and high-tech industrial bases, and to coordinate the recognition and construction of national enterprise technology centers; to be responsible for the approval, approval, filing or review and transfer of high-tech industry projects and independent innovation projects; to manage the unified high-tech industry development funds; to do a good job in information technology-related work, to be responsible for the innovation and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, and to promote the formation and development of emerging industries.
Although each department of the NDRC has great power, the High Technology Department is a department with relatively low importance, ranking 14th out of the 22 departments.
Now all provinces are emphasizing the slogan of strengthening the province through science and technology, but the development of high-tech industries requires a process and is difficult to plan. In addition, compared with other departments, such as the Development Planning Department and the Fixed Asset Investment Department, the High-tech Industry Department can manage very little funds, mainly because the state's high-tech cultivation funds are mainly concentrated in the Provincial Science and Technology Department. Although the provincial finance will allocate a part of the funds to the Development and Reform Commission to promote the development of high-tech industries in the province, it is relatively small compared to the funds of other departments of the Development and Reform Commission.
The importance of provincial departments depends on how much money you can control. The more money you have, the more obedient the subordinate departments will be and the more they will please you.
Fang Zhicheng moved from the position of Xiaguang District Party Committee Secretary to the High-tech Industry Department. His administrative level did not rise, and he is still at the department level. However, from the perspective of his later development path, Fang Zhicheng still occupies a high point. The position of the Development and Reform Commission has a broad vision. Fang Zhicheng previously worked mainly at the grassroots level and needed to accumulate experience from a management perspective.
After the training course at the Party School, Fang Zhicheng quickly received a new personnel appointment notice. Although there was still some time before he took office, he still came to Qiongjin in advance. Fang Zhicheng was not unfamiliar with Qiongjin, because during his work in Hanzhou, he often came to Qiongjin to attend meetings. Moreover, Fang Zhicheng also had many familiar people in Qiongjin, of course, most of them were women, such as Zhao Qingya, Xie Yuxin, Qi Yun, and Tong Siqing.
After Fang Zhicheng arrived in Qiongjin, he first visited Song Wendi and his wife, carrying a bunch of Yanjing specialties and rang the doorbell. After the door opened, Fang Zhicheng showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "Siqing, why are you here?"
The contact with Tong Siqing was intermittent, but Fang Zhicheng still had a place for her in his heart.
Tong Siqing smiled and said, "Why? Are you afraid of seeing me?"
Fang Zhicheng quickly shook his head and said, "How could it be?"
While changing his shoes, he tried to figure out why Tong Siqing was here. After being transferred to Qiongjin, Tong Siqing had been working in the Municipal Party Committee Office, and could be considered Song Wendi's confidant from Yinzhou. Tong Siqing usually helped Song Wendi a lot in work, and they occasionally kept in touch in life, which was understandable.
Wenfeng was wearing home clothes and light makeup. Although she was nearly fifty years old, she looked only in her thirties. Wenfeng smiled and said, "Zhicheng, you're here?"
Fang Zhicheng put down the specialty and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a surprise to see my colleagues from Yinzhou here." He said this to cover it up in case Wen Feng discovered anything unusual when he flirted with Tong Siqing later.
Wen Feng said, "Siqing, I called her here. Xiaoyan has been back home recently, so she often comes to help with housework. And Siqing is from Yinzhou. I think the dishes she cooks will suit your taste."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "I'm a little excited. It's been a long time since I've had authentic Yinzhou cuisine."
Although Tong Siqing was the chef, given Fang Zhicheng's personality, the kitchen quickly became his stronghold, and Tong Siqing was left with no choice but to help.
About half an hour later, a table of food was served, and Song Wendi also returned home. Seeing Fang Zhicheng wearing an apron and serving dishes to the table, he smiled and said, "Zhicheng, after you leave, President Wen will praise you again."
