Fang Zhicheng could see expectation in Su Lin's eyes. He knew Su Lin's plan. He could also feel that Sui Qi had a good impression of him. If Fang Zhicheng approached Sui Qi, slowly got closer to her, and then hurt her, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Sui Ziqing.

Fang Zhicheng shook his head slowly, sighed, and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't do this. I can understand the anger in your heart, and I have also made a vow in my heart. Because you, Uncle, and my mother have given so much to me, I will fulfill my due responsibilities. Maybe Sui Ziqing is the culprit who hurt the Su family, but Sui Qi is innocent. She certainly doesn't know that there will be such a big conflict between the Su and Sui families. However, since Sui Ziqing is very suspicious, I will find evidence at all costs and make him suffer the consequences."

Su Lin's eyes turned from disappointment to a trace of relief. He nodded, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Zhicheng, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to do something that goes against your conscience and morality. You didn't disappoint me either, you have a sense of righteousness. I believe you will support the Su family one day. Don't take the Sui family's affairs to heart, just treat it as a joke I played on you today."

Fang Zhicheng saw the fatigue in Su Lin's eyes, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle, you have been busy all day and must be very tired. I will go out first. If you need anything, please call me anytime."

Su Lin resumed his habitual smile, nodded at Fang Zhicheng, then stood up and sent Fang Zhicheng out of the room.

The moment he closed the door, Su Lin's face became serious and cold again. He clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with anger.

The death of the eldest son of the Su family is a pain in the hearts of the Su family. Su Lin knows that he should not transfer it to the next generation, but today he couldn't help but tell Fang Zhicheng the cause and effect.

Su Lin's mood at this moment was like a raging flood. He let out a long breath, stretched out his hand and swung it fiercely in the air, as if to completely wipe out the enemy in the void.

Su Lin stayed in Qiongjin for two days. He would meet up with some friends during the day and have dinner with Fang Zhicheng at night. He never mentioned the Sui family again. However, this matter left a deep mark in Fang Zhicheng's heart. He knew that even though Su Lin no longer mentioned it, he still needed to understand it in depth and how to solve the matter.

Compared with Zhang Xiaoliang, Shang Yan did not need much time to hand over his work, so he reported to the National Development and Reform Commission very quickly.

The moment he saw Shang Yan, Fang Zhicheng was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Xiao Shang, why do you feel a lot thinner?"

Shang Yan nodded and said, "I was sick some time ago, and I have just recovered a little in the past few days."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Actually, you can take a few days off before reporting back. There's no need to rush."

Shang Yan smiled slightly and shook her head, "Boss, I know how difficult it is to find a position for me in the Development and Reform Commission. How can I disappoint you? The moment I received the transfer letter, I really wanted to rush to your side immediately."

Seeing Shang Yan's red eyes, Fang Zhicheng tapped her forehead and scolded her with a smile: "Silly girl, you are too hypocritical."

Afterwards, Fang Zhicheng took Shang Yan to visit several departments, and then directly assigned Yang Jian's office to Shang Yan. Before leaving Xiaguang, Fang Zhicheng adjusted Shang Yan's position from deputy section level to section level. So after Shang Yan entered the High-tech Industry Department, he also replaced Yang Jian's position.

Yang Jian was transferred from the High-tech Industry Department to other departments for an obvious reason: he wanted to make a position for Shang Yan.

Yang Jian had a lot of work to do. After he left, Cai Miao took over temporarily. Now that there was one more person to relieve the pressure, she was naturally relieved. As for who entered Yang Jian's office, she didn't have time to care. Zhu Tieguo was honest and didn't care about this. Pang Xi was too inexperienced to care about the adjustment of the position of the section chief. As for Zuo Qiuxin, she could only turn a blind eye.

Chapter 0843: Going North to Investigate the Reality

Caoyao City is located in the northern part of Huainan, bordering the neighboring province of Donglu. Therefore, its cultural atmosphere has the boldness of Donglu, which is completely different from the cities in southern and central Jiangsu such as Yinzhou and Hanzhou. After Fang Zhicheng became the director of the High-tech Industry Department, his first stop on a business trip was Caoyao City.

Huainan is a large province with a very distinct regional economic division. From south to north, the economy gradually weakens. Several cities near the sea of clouds, such as Yinzhou and Dengchang, have a very developed urbanization process, and their GDP ranks among the first tier in the country; but the economy of several cities in the north and south of Huainan is not optimistic. Caoyao City is a city with very obvious characteristics of northern Huainan, with many mountains, underdeveloped transportation, slow urbanization process, and a large gap between urban and rural areas.

Formulating and implementing policies to promote the development of the province's high-tech sector is not possible behind closed doors. This time, the three columns of the high-tech industry were mobilized to conduct in-depth field research. Zuo Qiuxin took Pang Xi to Huainan South, Zhang Xiaoliang took Zhu Tieguo and Cai Miao to Huainan Central, and Fang Zhicheng and Shang Yan went to Huainan South.

Zhang Xiaoliang has already handed over his work in Xiaguang. Although he has not yet fully adapted to the work of the Development and Reform Commission, he is very familiar with the conditions of several cities in Huainan. With him leading the team, he should be able to gain a lot of experience.

Zuo Qiuxin was very familiar with the province's high-tech industries. She was familiar with the route to Huainan, and taking Pang Xi with her could also help hone this young man.

Fang Zhicheng chose Huainanbei mainly because he had been to Yinzhou and Hanzhou and had some understanding of the urban industrial structure of the region, but knew nothing about Huainanbei. He also hoped to take this opportunity to have a general grasp of the overall trend of Huainan's high-tech industry, and Caoyao City was the first stop of this trip.

Of course, there was one more person in the Huainan North Team, Fang Zhicheng's unmarried wife Ning Qiangwei. The reason was simple, Fang Zhicheng was in danger, Meng Hu was tracking Annie, and hadn't found any clues for a while, and other lurking Silver Age forces might take unfavorable actions against Fang Zhicheng, so she had to follow Fang Zhicheng closely.

Shang Yan knew Ning Qiangwei's identity, but she didn't say much. As Fang Zhicheng's secretary, she had long known that Fang Zhicheng was about to get married. She had also met Ning Qiangwei before and was infected and influenced by her unique temperament.

Fang Zhicheng, Ning Qiangwei and Shang Yan took a train to Caoyao City. They didn't eat anything on the train, so they were already hungry when they got off the train. The Development and Reform Commission of Caoyao City was also very thoughtful and prepared a banquet at the Kaiyuan Guest House.

Kaiyuan Guest House is a five-star comprehensive hotel invested by the Caoyao Municipal Government. It is only four kilometers away from the railway station. It is located on the west bank of the scenic Baixian Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has unique natural scenery.

The reception in Caoyao City was of very high standard. In addition to the deputy mayor in charge of the Development and Reform Commission and the director and deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission, CEOs of several companies also came.

These companies are all star companies that Caoyao City has focused on cultivating. One person Fang Zhicheng has met before is Ji Chengjun, the general manager of Daofeng Fiber Materials Co., Ltd. Ji Chengjun went to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission last week to handle business, and Fang Zhicheng received him at that time. Daofeng Fiber is advanced in the research of high-tech materials, mainly carbon fiber. Daofeng Fiber was founded in 2007 and is an enterprise integrating carbon fiber and composite material design, research and development, production, sales, and technical application services.

Carbon fiber has a wide range of applications and has the characteristics of high strength, high modulus, and low specific gravity. It is an indispensable material for aerospace and aviation. It is called the dream material for the future material revolution and is one of the important materials for the new technological revolution.

Fang Zhicheng shook hands with Ji Chengjun and others and introduced themselves. When introducing Ning Qiangwei, Fang Zhicheng introduced her as a colleague so as not to be too awkward.

Everyone took their seats one after another. Xue Fulian, deputy mayor of Caoyao City, raised his glass and said with a smile, "First of all, welcome Director Fang of the High-tech Industry Department of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission to come to our Caoyao City for research. Secondly, in this box today, in addition to the staff of the Development and Reform Commission, we have also invited several entrepreneurs. Please tell Director Fang about the difficulties you are facing now and what kind of help you need."

Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "The entrepreneurs present here are all experts. If you have technical problems, I can't help you at all. However, the province has a certain amount of support funds for high-tech industries every year. If you are confident in your project, you can introduce it to me. Later, the project will be compiled into a plan. The department will support you in terms of funds or policies based on your project plan."

"For example, Daofeng Carbon Fiber Materials Co., Ltd., I have studied your materials before and have now submitted them to the expert group for review. If nothing goes wrong, they will be included in the key projects of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. But entering the cage of the provincial key projects is only the first step. We will report your materials to the country. If you can enter the national key projects, it will be the ultimate goal for your company."

“As for other companies, I don’t know much about your products and technologies, so I can’t comment for now, but as long as you have sufficient technical research and development capabilities, I will definitely strive to obtain resources for you at the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.”

After receiving Fang Zhicheng's verbal promise, several entrepreneurs suddenly became active. Fang Zhicheng's alcohol tolerance was not very good, and Xue Fulian also saw that he was not modest, so he frequently blocked his toasts. However, even so, Caoyao City was full of drinking. After a few drinks, these CEOs and officials would not recognize their relatives, and they would not care about whether you were a cadre from above, so Fang Zhicheng drank a lot.

Caoyao Daqu is the No. 1 liquor brand in the province. The Caoyao Daqu on the table is not the strictly packaged one on the market, but it tastes very mellow. Although Fang Zhicheng doesn't like alcohol, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

After three or four ounces of liquor, the atmosphere at the table became harmonious, but most of the conversation was about fighting, and no one knew what the others were talking about. Xue Fulian was a rather outspoken person, and Fang Zhicheng had a clear intention to make friends with him.

Xue Fulian looks to be under 50 years old, and is considered a potential cadre at the local level. However, Fang Zhicheng's potential is even more terrifying. How amazing is it that he is a powerful cadre at the provincial level who is under 30 years old

Just based on his age, Xue Fulian made up his mind to take good care of Fang Zhicheng.

Good wine has a common characteristic: it is easy to drink, not easy to get drunk, and even if you are drunk, you will not be intoxicated. After the dinner, Xue Fulian had no intention of leaving, but pulled Fang Zhicheng to chat in the room. Shang Yan and Ning Qiangwei went into another room.

Fulian asked the waiter to bring two pots of tea, which was also Caoyao City’s specialty tea—Drunken Golden Leaf.
