Chen Ying sighed and said, "He misunderstood."
Jiang Yong said angrily, "It only shows that this guy has a problem with his comprehension ability. No wonder he hasn't been able to climb up at such an old age. Please explain the specific situation."
Chen Ying then reported the whole story of the slush fund to Jiang Yong in detail. Jiang Yong said in a deep voice, "It's Cao Bin's fault that he was too insensitive. He thought Fang Zhicheng was going to compete with him for control of the slush fund, but he didn't expect to run into the gun of the investigation team."
Chen Ying said: "Given Cao Bin's experience, it's no wonder that he is hostile to Fang Zhicheng. At the beginning, everyone thought he was going to be promoted, but Fang Zhicheng suddenly came in and squeezed out his position. Zuo Qiuxin must think that Cao Bin is very old. If he had gone to the local area to develop a few years earlier, he might have had a better path. But in the Development and Reform Commission, he fell behind step by step. Now there is almost no room for development."
Jiang Yong nodded, stared at Chen Ying for a long time, and said calmly: "You seem to know him quite well?"
Chen Ying's performance was worthy of being admitted to the Standing Committee. She replied: "He and I entered the State Planning Commission in the same year, and later experienced reform, so I know him well."
Jiang Yong took out a document from the drawer and pushed it to Chen Ying, saying, "You can see it too. This is the earliest personnel document. I have already arranged for him to take over the position of director. You can tell him that if he can do a good job, I will definitely make up for my previous promise."
Chen Ying had read the material and she knew that this was Jiang Yong's way of controlling his subordinates. However, in the officialdom, even if you know that your boss is just making false promises, you still have to pretend to be deceived.
Chen Ying said quickly: "Director Jiang, I will convey your meaning to him."
Seeing that Chen Ying seemed to have something else to say, Jiang Yong asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Chen Ying lowered her voice and said, "Someone noticed that when the investigation team came, Director Qi from the Supervision Office sat in Fang Zhicheng's office for almost two hours."
"Qi Yun?" Jiang Yong showed a look of surprise.
Chen Ying said solemnly: "So some people suspect that Fang Zhicheng had already received the news in advance that the investigation team came to the Development and Reform Commission, and Cao Bin seemed to have fallen into a trap."
The so-called "someone suspected" was actually a cover-up. It was just Chen Ying who suspected.
Jiang Yong had no expression on his face. He was silent for a long time before he said, "That's not impossible. Qi Yun and Fang Zhicheng were partners in Dongtai before, and they have always maintained close contact. Even Qi Yun's entry into the provincial party committee office was due to Fang Zhicheng."
Chen Ying took a breath and said, "Thinking about it carefully, Fang Zhicheng is indeed not simple. He could have used Cao Bin to control his whereabouts at any time, but he just cleverly took advantage of the situation and almost ruined Cao Bin's reputation."
Although Chen Ying's thoughts were a little complicated, Jiang Yong knew that in the officialdom, nothing was impossible. Since Chen Ying could guess such a possibility, it was most likely the fact.
Jiang Yong had some understanding of Qi Yun. Although she was promoted by Li Siyuan, she was trusted by Wen Jinglong because of her rigorous work and strong professional ability. Basically, she was in charge of supervising important issues of the provincial party committee. Therefore, there were rumors that Wen Jinglong and Qi Yun even had a special relationship between men and women.
Of course, based on Jiang Yong's understanding of Wen Jinglong, this is simply impossible. Because Wen Jinglong has always maintained strong self-discipline in his work style and has gained a good reputation in the Northeast officialdom. The reason why Wen Jinglong is impressed by Qi Yun is mainly because of his recognition of her work ability.
Jiang Yong glanced at Chen Ying's face. Although Chen Ying didn't say it explicitly, he could still understand her hidden meaning. He suspected that Fang Zhicheng and Qi Yun had a complicated relationship between men and women. People are like this, they will habitually associate this matter with it.
Jiang Yong touched his nose and changed the subject, saying, "The recent focus of the Personnel Department is to replace the two deputy directors. Of course, you are also one of the candidates. You must be extra careful about your words and deeds in the near future. It is expected that someone from the Organization Department will come to inspect you next month."
Chen Ying smiled easily and said, "Thank you, Director Jiang."
Jiang Yong stared at Chen Ying's back as she quietly left, and shook his head. Although Chen Ying was not young, she still had her charm. To have reached this position step by step showed that this woman had extraordinary abilities. If he hadn't known that Chen Ying had a bad reputation outside, he might have really been attracted by her smile just now.
Jiang Yong knew that if the water is too clear, there would be no fish. So even though he knew Chen Ying was not an ordinary woman, he was still willing to use her, because the more complicated a woman was, the more ways she would come up with to deal with problems, and the more help she would provide to him.
…
When getting off work, Cao Bin wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Fang Zhicheng, but Fang Zhicheng ignored him and gave him a cool back. Since the relationship has been torn apart, there is no need to hold back.
At a roadside barbecue stall, Fang Zhicheng ordered a few skewers and a bottle of beer. There were groups of people around him, and he suddenly felt a little lonely. After eating a few skewers, the young man next to him suddenly screamed. Fang Zhicheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a hot blonde foreign girl walking into the barbecue restaurant.
The foreign girl has fair skin and sapphire blue eyes, which look like two sapphires under the light. She has a wasp waist and a perky butt. She is wearing a black leather jacket on the outside and a low-cut suspender inside, revealing a large area of snow-white chest. Her legs are like works of art, so thin and long that people can't help but take a few more glances.
Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but whistle along. The blonde girl blew a few kisses towards the place where the noise was loudest. Finally, under the envious gazes of everyone, she unexpectedly sat opposite Fang Zhicheng.
"Excuse me, can I sit down?" the blonde girl asked with a smile. Her Chinese was awkward, but not offensive at all.
Fang Zhicheng pushed a few skewers over and said with a cheerful smile, "Of course, if you don't mind, I can also treat you to some skewers."
Chapter 0828 You Get What You Pay For
The blonde girl didn't refuse. She took a few bites and said, "What kind of meat is this? It tastes quite delicious."
Fang Zhicheng didn't stop either. He stuffed a few pieces of meat into his mouth and said while chewing: "I ordered lamb skewers from the boss, so just treat them as lamb skewers."
The blonde frowned and asked in confusion: "Isn't it lamb?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "You get what you pay for. Mutton costs fifty or sixty yuan a pound now. This bunch of meat may not look like much, but the boss has to make money, so he can't really give you mutton to eat."
The blonde shrugged and said, "What on earth is that?"
Fang Zhicheng arranged the bamboo sticks one by one on the plate and said, "If the situation is better, this may be made of pork. If the situation is worse, it may be rat meat or cat meat."
The blonde girl's face changed. She didn't show a disgusted expression, but she still put down the skewers in her hand and said, "Why do you still eat this meat with relish when you know it's problematic?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Existence is reasonable. Although the boss knows that there is something wrong with the meat, his business is still booming. This mutton kebab is a must-order for everyone who comes here. The reason is that people can't resist the temptation of delicious food. Didn't you just say that no matter what kind of meat this is, it tastes delicious. Since it tastes good, we might as well ignore its nature."
The blonde girl stared at Fang Zhicheng carefully and said, "You are deceiving yourself."
Fang Zhicheng finally finished the last string of mutton and whispered, "Now that we are full, we can discuss serious issues. First, who are you? Second, why are you looking for me?"
The blonde girl smiled and said, "Don't say that. It makes me come to see you as if there is a conspiracy."
Fang Zhicheng shrugged helplessly and said, "If it were another situation, a Chinese woman suddenly sat opposite me and wanted me to buy her some skewers, I would at most think she was a prostitute who thought I was handsome. But if a foreign woman suddenly found me, it's probably not just because I'm handsome!"
The blonde girl blinked her sapphire eyes and smiled, "You are an interesting person. Don't you want to have a romantic encounter with a foreign woman?"
