Ning Qiangwei pointed at Fang Zhicheng and said, "It's all because of you. You made too much noise before, and the forces of Silver Age in the country are asking you to pay the price by name."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "So you are here to protect me?"

Ning Qiangwei shook her head and said, "I think too highly of you! It's just that the military believes that the Silver Age is too arrogant. Since they have already dug out a clue from them, they must eradicate them completely. Now they have set their sights on you. We just need to lurk around you and there will always be a chance to find more breakthroughs."

Fang Zhicheng burst out laughing and said, "So I've become a target!"

Ning Qiangwei saw Fang Zhicheng's relaxed look, paused, and sighed: "You are really an optimist, I don't know how much trouble you have caused. Cao Bin confessed in detail over the years that Silver Age stole confidential information from the National Development and Reform Commission system, and the loss involved is estimated to be tens of billions... Faced with such a huge loss, the No. 1 leader was furious and instructed that the matter must be thoroughly investigated. At the same time, this also involves the game between high-level officials."

Fang Zhicheng remembered that Su Qing had reminded him not to get involved in this matter, but he still stepped on a landmine. The Ning family must have received the notice, and Ning Qiangwei went directly to Qiongjin, staying by his side while secretly investigating the Silver Age. Fang Zhicheng never knew what Ning Qiangwei was doing, but judging from the meaning of her words today, it must be related to national security.

Fang Zhicheng suddenly grabbed Ning Qiangwei's hand and said seriously: "If a life-and-death situation really arises, you must leave first and leave me alone."

Chapter 0839 Brainwashing is a technical job

Ning Qiangwei drove Fang Zhicheng to the gate of the provincial government compound in a jeep. The provincial government compound looked compact, but in fact the buildings were far apart. It took several minutes to walk from the gate to Building No. 3. As soon as he walked slowly into the hall, he was patted on the shoulder. Fang Zhicheng looked back and saw that it was Xu Ying, the director of the National Economic Comprehensive Department. He smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you made me suffer yesterday."

Xu Ying waved her hand and said, "Brother, drinking capacity is something you learn through practice. I used to get drunk as soon as I sat at the table. Now, although I can't say that I can drink a lot, I usually won't get drunk unless I want to."

This is the charm of a dinner party. Even the names change in the blink of an eye. There are no simple people in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, especially a young director like Fang Zhicheng, who should not be underestimated. Fang Zhicheng has been in the Development and Reform Commission for less than a month. Before, no one took the initiative to show goodwill. That was because they were waiting and watching. When it was clear that Fang Zhicheng was a potential dragon, naturally someone took the initiative to win him over.

I can't say that Xu Ying is a close friend, but I can't say that I hate him either.

People like Xu Ying can thrive in the officialdom, as can be seen from last night's dinner, and several people have a good personal relationship with him. Xu Ying indirectly taught Fang Zhicheng a lesson on how to gain experience and connections in the government compound.

The two were not on the same floor. After entering the elevator, Xu Ying saw that there was no one around and joked, "Didn't you let your wife sleep on the sofa when you got home last night?"

Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "You really guessed it right. I did sleep on the sofa, and my pillow fell off. My neck still hurts now."

Xu Ying laughed and said, "Your wife treats you well. She came to pick you up even though she knew you had drunk too much. My wife is not comparable. When we first got married, we had a lot of social events at the office and she had a problem with me. One time I didn't bring my keys with me, and when I got home she was so hard-hearted that she locked me out. I leaned against the security door and slept for half the night. Fortunately it was summer, if it was winter, I would probably have died."

Fang Zhicheng said: "That's what sister-in-law wants you to remember. Try to drink less."

After she finished speaking, the elevator opened, Xu Ying went downstairs, and waved goodbye to Fang Zhicheng.

From Xu Ying, Fang Zhicheng could clearly feel that the entire NDRC had a different attitude towards him. Before he came to the NDRC, he failed to integrate into the group, and everyone kept their distance from him, but now someone has shown him goodwill.

Of course, every step needs to be done with caution. It is currently impossible to confirm whether there is any conspiracy behind Xu Ying's approach.

After entering the office, I found that it had been cleaned. Not long after, Pang Xi walked in, holding a thermos, and said with a smile: "Secretary Fang, your hot water!"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Let it go." Seeing that she was in good spirits, he asked, "What? Have you recovered?"

Pang Xi blushed, subconsciously lowered her head, and whispered: "Director Fang, you are right. If you want others to respect you, you must first be strong inside. Otherwise, there will be no place for me here. They are jealous of me being close to you, so let them be jealous, and I must seize this advantage and not let Director Fang be disappointed in me..."

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that Pang Xi was also a girl with a lot of ideas. He could tell she had ambition in her words, but her words didn't make people feel disgusted.

Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times and said in a deep voice: "Pang Xi, do you remember what I said to you on my first day in office? We are both newcomers in the High-tech Industry Department. Although our positions are different, this environment is the same for us. It is unfamiliar and repulsive to us. If you want to gain a firm foothold, you must strengthen yourself. There are many ways to strengthen yourself, and the more important thing is to put those methods into practice. For example, learn more business knowledge, think more about work methods, and accumulate more experience in doing things, so that you can have your own core competitiveness."

Pang Xi raised his head at this moment, listened attentively to Fang Zhicheng sharing his experience, and silently took note of his valuable advice.

After Pang Xi left, Fang Zhicheng devoted himself to his work. The work content of the High-tech Industry Department was a large amount of data, materials, and reports. Some of them were documents sent by the lower levels, which needed to be approved. The other part was the documents and materials written by the High-tech Industry Department itself and submitted to the superiors.

Fang Zhicheng's superior is naturally Shen Hanchun. This person has very strict requirements for documents. Compared with Song Wendi, Song Wendi is particularly sensitive to words, while Shen Hanchun is particularly sensitive to numbers. Shen Hanchun has a ledger in his mind. The relevant data of the several departments he is responsible for are hidden in his mind, so as long as there is a slight discrepancy, it will attract his attention.

The main reason is that China once had exaggerated data, and the important responsibility at that time ultimately fell on the Planning Commission, the predecessor of the National Development and Reform Commission. Therefore, the National Development and Reform Commission now emphasizes that internal data must be accurate so as to have an accurate judgment on the situation in various fields of the province and provide a basis for the implementation of subsequent policies.

It took nearly two hours to sort out all the information at hand. Fang Zhicheng stretched his body and went out to wander around several offices to inspect the working conditions of the staff below. It must be said that the cadres of the Development and Reform Commission are much more qualified than the grassroots cadres.

The officials in Xiaguang would pretend to obey you but secretly disobey you if you don't use some tricks, but in the Development and Reform Commission, everyone keeps working hard. Of course, this may also be due to the strictness of Shen Hanchun's rule.

Fang Zhicheng glanced at Cai Miao, tapped her desk twice, and pointed outside. After Fang Zhicheng returned to the office, Cai Miao walked in slowly with a gloomy face.

Cai Miao was not bad looking, she was petite but sexy, with a graceful figure and proudly peaked breasts, which could easily arouse a man's adrenaline. However, she was a little far from the type that Fang Zhicheng liked.

Cai Miao sat directly on the sofa, lowered her head and didn't look at Fang Zhicheng, but Fang Zhicheng could clearly see from his own perspective that there was a lot of disdain in her eyes.

Fang Zhicheng slowly walked to the opposite side of Cai Miao and whispered, "Chief Cai, I want to talk to you."

"What to talk about?" Cai Miao asked coldly.

Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly. He had expected Cai Miao's reaction. "I know you have something against me, so why not speak out openly? It's okay to have conflicts. It's just a pity to hide them in your heart. Not only will it hurt yourself, but it will also affect your mood at work."

Cai Miao bit her lip, struggling with her thoughts. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Secretary Fang, I have no problem with you. I just think the newcomer has a bad work attitude, so I said a few more words to her. She must have said something bad about me in front of you, right?"

Fang Zhicheng stared at Cai Miao for a long time and sighed, "Chief Cai, you and I are about the same age, so we entered the university of society at about the same time. To Pang Xi, you are a senior who has worked for many years. Why can't you be more tolerant? As people who have been through this, we should all know that it is not easy for newcomers..."

When Cai Miao heard this, his face turned ugly. He raised his head and looked at Fang Zhicheng without showing any weakness, saying, "She is a newcomer and doesn't understand her position. Why should I tolerate her?"

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Chief Cai, if this is your attitude, then I can only take special measures."

Cai Miao sneered, looked at Fang Zhicheng, and asked disdainfully: "What? Are you going to drive me out of the high-tech industry?"

Fang Zhicheng didn't expect Cai Miao to be so confident. He knew why Cai Miao was in the high-tech industry department. Her father was a famous entrepreneur in Huainan, so she had no problem with survival. She worked in the Development and Reform Commission just to have a stable job.

Of course, this does not mean that Cai Miao is not serious about his current job. It is because he values his current position very much that he is wary of the newcomer Pang Xi, fearing that she will replace him.

Fang Zhicheng exhaled slowly and said, "Chief Cai, you are too extreme. Actually, I want to have a frank talk with you today, tell you my dissatisfaction, and if there are any conflicts, just speak them out and then resolve them. If you think Pang Xi is a threat to you, I think you are worrying too much. Although I have only been in the Development and Reform Commission for a month, I have seen everyone's work ability and professional quality. For example, you are careful in your work, rigorous in your tasks, and often work overtime on your own initiative. So even though your attitude just now was very domineering, I will not doubt your ability at all. If you leave your current position, it will be a huge loss."
