Chapter 113: The County Magistrate's Seat is Vacant

  Feng Sichu seemed to be in a carefree state, perhaps because he had eaten too much tofu brain for breakfast. He went to the bathroom on the third floor and then slowly headed down to the second floor. As soon as he returned to his office on the second floor, Zhang Xiaosong, Secretary of Fang Xianzhi, walked in and said, "Director Feng, County Magistrate Fang has something to discuss with you and hopes you can go over right away."

  "Oh, I was just thinking of going to report to County Magistrate Fang right away? Hehe, let's go." Feng Si Zhe smiled and thought to himself, "Someone can't sit still already?"

  It's not that Fang Zhi Xian is not a good person to live with, nor is it his personality being impatient. As the head of a county, he has some shortcomings.

  Not to mention being suppressed by the secretary in the county party committee, let's just say that in the county government, the only deputy county mayor, Qi Hengsan, is not on the same page with him. On the contrary, he is very close to Secretary Sun and always reports to him whenever something happens, even bypassing him to report directly to the secretary on many major issues. This makes him feel somewhat embarrassed as the county head. When he heard that a new deputy county mayor was coming, he had an idea. The original second-ranked deputy county mayor had not been to work in the government for a long time due to health reasons and has now completely retired due to poor health. This gave Fang Zhixian new hope, at least a chance, if he could grasp the new number two in the county government, perhaps he could change the fact that he was always suppressed by Qi Hengsan and Secretary Sun.

  Sometimes the bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment. When he finally received the news that the person coming would be a 23-year-old genius who had just graduated from a middle school and returned from studying abroad, his heart cooled down by half. Can a superior send such an inexperienced person to work in the government and still expect him to join forces with him to oppose Director Sun?

  He was somewhat disheartened. But later, it was Minister He Zhuhua who reminded him that even if Feng Sicheng wouldn't play a big role, he couldn't let Sun Secretary take him away, or else Fang Zhiqian's position would be in real danger, and no one would listen to what he had to say at that time. Thinking about this, he decided to win Feng over, and last night at the banquet, he made an effort to speak up for Feng Sicheng, but his abilities were limited, and despite his efforts, it didn't have much effect, and in the end, Feng was still drunk by others. After that incident, he couldn't help but look down on Feng a bit, but thinking about He Zhuhua's words, he had no choice but to try to win Feng over, even if he couldn't use him for himself, he absolutely couldn't let this person completely turn against Sun Shouchun, or else his own words would be ignored in the future.

  Just as Fang Xianzhi was thinking about whether to have a good talk with Feng Siche, or what to say, he received a call from He Zonghua saying that Feng Siche had already reported to Secretary Sun and left with a smile on his face. At this moment, Fang felt a chill in his heart because his hesitation allowed his opponent to take the lead. While feeling depressed, he hastily asked someone to invite Feng Siche over, at which point all reserve was useless; in order to secure his position and have his orders carried out below, he had no choice but to take the initiative to find Feng Siche.

  Feng Siche arrived at the county magistrate's office, with Zhang Xiaosong following behind. Perhaps Fang Xianzhi was too anxious, as he stood at the door and, upon seeing Feng Siche approach, smiled and directly stretched out his hand to grab Feng Siche, saying "County Magistrate Feng, good morning! How are you? Is your headache gone?"

  Feng Sizi's office is right next to Fang Xianzhi's, the distance between the two doors is only about four or five meters. Zhang Xiaosong went to invite Feng Sizi, and Fang Xianzhi got up and waited at the door, otherwise he wouldn't be standing at the door so coincidentally.

  Looking at Fang Xianzhi's demeanor, it was clear that he was much more sincere than Sun Shicun. Feng Sicong quickly took a step forward and grasped the hand that had been extended to him, saying "Thank you, County Magistrate, for your concern. I'm much better after a night's rest."

  "Haha, young people's physical strength is still good, getting drunk is fierce, but can also adjust quickly, um, not bad, not bad, come in and talk." Fang Xianzhi chuckled and pulled Feng Sicheng's hand back into his own office.
