Chapter 72 The Provincial Party Secretary's Family Banquet
Fang Yang's heart was slightly shocked, and when he raised his eyes, he just saw a slender figure walking in the door, the girl was wearing beige knitted short sleeves, black slightly flared straight-leg pants, her pink-carved jade-like face showed a perfect facial curve, Qiong's nose was slightly upturned, and her whole body exuded a quiet bookish temperament, it was Fang Yang's cousin Fang Qiao in her previous life.
Before coming to the door, Fang Yang had imagined the scene of reuniting with his cousin in this world countless times, and after experiencing the disappointment just now, Fang Yang couldn't imagine that the scene of the inadvertent reunion would be staged like this.
Fang Qiao bent down and picked up the changed shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet, straightened up and saw Fang Hongda for the first time, with a look of surprise on his face, and said with a smile:
"Huh? Comrade Secretary, is the sun coming out in the west today? You're actually free to eat at home! ā
The position where Fang Yang was standing was just blocked by the screen partition at the entrance, Fang Qiao took two steps forward before seeing him, paused for a moment, and said a little embarrassed:
"Yo, there's a guest!"
"How do you talk to your dad! Nothing big or small! Qu Jing glanced at her daughter and muttered, "Why don't you go wash your hands quickly?" I'm pretty good at rushing to eat, and I've made my home a restaurant! ā
"Am I not busy with work?" Fang Qiao affectionately leaned on Qu Jing's shoulders and said with a smile, "Mom, you've worked hard!" ā
Qu Jing angrily pulled down Fang Qiao's hand on her body and said:
"Just busy with your photography studio? I really don't understand you, let the deputy department-level researcher of the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee not do it, and I want to resign and start a studio......"
Seeing that his mother started nagging again, Fang Qiao's head suddenly became as big as a fight, and he hurriedly left his mother and walked into the living room and said to Fang Hongda:
"Dad, there's a guest at home, why don't you introduce me to it?"
Fang Qiao originally had a position in the Political Research Office of the Provincial Party Committee, although he was also a Qingshui Yamen, but he was better than a stable person, in Qu Jing's opinion, girls don't need to be such a big official, as long as they have a stable job, and then find a husband and son who is the right family. But Fang Qiao had his own ideas, and secretly resigned without telling his family. Qu Jing saw that Fang Qiao was avoiding this topic again, and she was immediately angry, but because there were guests at home, it was not easy to have a seizure, so she glared at Fang Qiao and turned around to go to the kitchen to serve food.
"Fang Yang, this is my daughter Fang Qiao" Fang Hongda shook his head helplessly and introduced, "Qiao Qiao, this is Bai Lao's closed disciple Fang Yang. ā
Fang Yang held back his agitated mood and took two steps forward and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile:
"Hello Sister Qiao!"
This Sister Qiao screamed very naturally, after all, that's what she was called in her previous life.
With a faint smile on his face, Fang Qiao elegantly stretched out his jade hand and shook it lightly with Fang Yang, and said with a smile:
"Hello Fang Yang! Welcome to my home! ā
Except for occasionally showing a little coquettish in front of her mother, Fang Qiao behaves elegantly and decently in front of people, revealing the intellectual beauty of a literary young woman.
"Let's go, let's eat!" Seeing Guan Weiping coming over with wine, Fang Hongda greeted with a smile.
Fang Hongda took the lead and walked to the dining table and sat in the center, while the others sat on both sides. It is said to be a family banquet, but in fact, there are not many dishes, and they are all home-cooked dishes. However, Fang Yang has a different taste when he eats it in his mouth, in his previous life, Fang Yang did not come to Fang Hongda's house to eat, but now that he is a human being, he has tasted Qu Jing's craftsmanship again, and Fang Yang also has mixed feelings.
For health reasons, health care doctors forbade Fang Hongda to drink liquor, even if it was red wine, he could only drink a small glass a day. But Fang Hongda made an exception today and took out the treasured Moutai wine, and he poured a glass himself. Guan Weiping saw such an abnormal behavior in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Fang Yang twice.
Guan Weiping didn't know why Fang Hongda suddenly looked at Fang Yang differently, but he could judge from the small detail of drinking that Fang Yang was quite heavy in Fang Hongda's mind. Guan Weiping also reassessed Fang Yang in his heart.
Fang Hongda picked up his glass and said:
"Come, let's raise a glass together and welcome Fang Yang to the house!"
Fang Yang also felt a little surprised when he saw Fang Hongda drinking liquor. He understands Fang Hongda's living habits, and he rarely drinks unless he is particularly happy.
Is it just because he is a disciple of Mr. Bai Yan? Fang Yang himself felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, although Master Bai Yan had a deep relationship with the Fang family, Fang Yang, as a new disciple of the master, went to school in Rongcheng, where Fang Hongda worked, Fang Hongda invited him to his home for a meal and contacted the relationship, but Fang Hongda was a feudal official, and it was a little unimaginable for him to make an exception to drink for his own body.
Fang Yang couldn't have imagined that this qiÄ was due to his mother. When Fang Hongda saw the child of his childhood friend who had not been heard from for decades, he was excited to offer to drink a glass of wine.
However, Fang Yang did not put his doubts on his face, but quickly raised his wine glass and said politely:
"Thank you, Uncle Fang, but the liquor is too stimulating to the stomach, so it's better for you to drink less."
Fang Hongda has a very strict stomach ulcer due to his busy work and irregular work and rest all year round, so Fang Yang will remind him.
Listening to Fang Yang's words, Fang Hongda paused for a moment, he didn't expect Fang Yang to know so much about his situation. However, Fang Hongda thought about it, it is estimated that Guan Weiping revealed it during the small talk, Guan Weiping's work has always been meticulous and cautious, Fang Yang is going to come to the door as a guest, he told Fang Yang in advance some basic precautions or something, the possibility is still very large. So Fang Hongda smiled and said:
"It's okay, I'll drink this one if I'm happy today! Later, Wei Ping will accompany you to drink well, and I won't drink. ā
Qu Jing frowned without a trace, but she was a very traditional woman, and there were guests at home, so she didn't say much, so everyone killed the first glass of wine together, and even Fang Qiao drank a glass of red wine with her.
"Come, come, come! Fang Yang, eat vegetables, don't be restrained, just like in your own home! After putting down the wine glass, Qu Jing enthusiastically sandwiched a braised prawn in oil for Fang Yang.
Fang Yang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Aunt Qu!" ā
Fang Hongda did what he said, and after drinking this glass of wine, he removed the wine glass, and took a bowl of rice and ate it in a big gulp. Guan Weiping obviously didn't eat at Fang Hongda's house for the first time, and he didn't seem restrained, although Fang Hongda didn't drink anymore, he still raised his glass frequently, and drank several glasses of wine with Fang Yang and Fang Qiao.
Fang Hongda took a few bites of rice, and suddenly asked with interest:
"Fang Yang, do you have any plans after graduating from college?"
Fang Yang put down his chopsticks, sat up straight and replied:
"Before my teacher returned to Beijing, he told me to go to his graduate school. However, I am still thinking about it, I personally still want to continue my studies in calligraphy and painting, but the capital is too far away from the southeast, and my mother is here alone, and I am a little uneasy. ā
Fang Hongda nodded and said:
"Calligraphy and Chinese painting are the essence of traditional Chinese culture, and your teacher, Mr. Bai Yan, is a leader in the field of calligraphy and painting. I don't think you need to worry too much about your mother's problems, on the one hand, she is not old enough to need your service by her side, and on the other hand, haven't you already bought a house in Rongcheng? Your family's financial situation is only going to get better. ā
Fang Yang nodded and replied:
"Yes, Uncle Fang, I also plan to try to start a business during my college years and try to improve my economic conditions, so that I will not have any worries if I go to the capital to study."
When Fang Qiao heard that Fang Yang wanted to start his own business, he may have resonated, and asked with interest:
"Oh? Have you figured out what you're going to do? ā
Fang Yang nodded and said confidently:
"My initial consideration is the cultural and creative industries. Our southeastern province is at the forefront of reform and opening up, and the people's living standards are generally relatively high, and the demand for spiritual life will inevitably become more and more vigorous. Moreover, after 08 years, the ******** has been greatly eased, and it can be said that the dark clouds of war over the strait are gradually dissipating, and it is foreseeable that in the next five years, the entire southeastern province will enter the fast lane of development, and the exchanges between the two sides of the strait will become closer and closer.
In the past, as the front line of the war, the development of the southeastern province was affected by objective conditions, but now, this unfavorable factor is precisely the most favorable factor in the southeastern province, because it is the bridgehead of cross-strait exchanges. You must know that the cultural industry on the other side of the strait is quite prosperous, and in the future, with the deepening of cross-strait exchanges, it will inevitably lead to the development of the cultural industry in our province, so I think now is the best time to enter this industry. ā
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet showed surprised eyes, Fang Yang's words were magnificent, and he directly looked at the problem from the strategic height of the whole province or even the whole country, and analyzed it in a good way. Fang Hongda was deeply touched, because Fang Yang's views coincided with him, and Fang Hongda was vigorously promoting the establishment and approval of the cross-strait cultural industry creative park in the province.
Fang Hongda's term of office has two years, to seek further progress in his career, the ability to control the province is on the one hand, but also need to have a strong political performance, in office successfully launched known as the "small special zone" of the Ping Tamdao comprehensive real yĆ n district, this cross-strait cultural industry creative park is Fang Hongda wants to focus on the next two years to build the star project.
Therefore, after listening to Fang Yang's words, Fang Hongda said with great interest:
"Fang Yang, you go on!"
Fang Yang received Fang Hongda's encouragement, nodded and said:
"The cultural industry has unlimited business opportunities, and the southeast province has taken advantage of the favorable time and place, if it can play the cross-strait card and establish a cultural industry park, once the scale effect is formed, the southeast province is likely to become a new cross-strait cultural industry center."
Speaking of this, Fang Yang smiled and said:
"That's a bit of a stretch......"
Fang Hongda looked at Fang Yang with encouraging eyes, and said with a smile:
"No, no, no! Your words have also inspired me a lot! Fang Yang, I can't imagine that you have such insight at such a young age, it's rare! ā
Fang Yang said modestly:
"Uncle Fang praised it falsely, I'm just talking on paper. As for myself, I haven't really figured out what to do, but it must be related to traditional Chinese culture, such as combining the art of Chinese painting and calligraphy with animation to make a real domestic boutique animation. Of course, at this stage, we can only make a small fuss first, and if we don't have enough funds, everything is empty. ā
Fang Yang thought for a while, and then said:
"Actually, I admire Sister Qiao for starting her own business like this, and the photography studio is also part of the cultural industry! It is considered to be at the forefront of the trend, and now many young people do not like to go to the photo studio, but especially favor the studio. If Sister Qiao takes the boutique route, the future development is still promising. In foreign countries, well-known photographers are quite popular! ā
Fang Qiao listened to Fang Yang's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he raised his eyebrows proudly at Qu Jing, and said:
"Mom, I heard you! Don't talk about me all day long! ā
After speaking, Fang Qiao took out a business card and handed it to Fang Yang and said:
"Fang Yang, you can come to my studio when you have time, if you do animation in the future, we can be regarded as peers!"
Fang Yang smiled and took the business card and put it in his jacket pocket, Fang Qiao's contact information he remembered firmly without looking at it, but with her business card, it would be justified to contact her in the future.
Fang Yang was a guest, Qu Jing didn't say much, and Fang Hongda said happily:
"Good! Fang Yang, your idea of starting a business is good, if there is any difficulty at that time, you can find Wei Ping, if he can't solve it, I will come forward to help you solve it! ā
Fang Hongda, as the secretary of a province, said these words to mean that as long as Fang Yang starts a business in Southeast Province in the future, he will definitely be unimpeded in the official face.
Fang Yang hurriedly stood up and said:
"Thank you, Uncle Fang!"
Everyone chatted while eating, and the meal lasted for more than an hour, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. In order not to affect Fang Hongda's rest, Fang Yang sat down for a while after dinner and then got up to say goodbye.
Guan Weiping asked the driver to send Fang Yang back to school, but he stayed. Regarding tomorrow's schedule and some major tasks, he also needs to report to Fang Hongda for instructions.
Fang Hongda sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, his right index finger tapping unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa. Guan Weiping made a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Fang Hongda, and then sat down on the side sofa, he knew that Fang Hongda was thinking about the problem, so he didn't bother.
After a while, Fang Hongda raised his head and said:
"Weiping, at the end of the month in Songping City, the listing ceremony of the modern agricultural demonstration garden, I decided to participate."
Guan Weiping paused for a moment, Fang Hongda had made it clear that he would not participate in this event before, he suddenly changed his mind, many arrangements needed to be readjusted, and a lot of coordination work was involved, but Guan Weiping didn't ask much, just nodded and agreed, and then took out the small notebook he carried with him and recorded it. The adjustment of the secretary's schedule is a major matter, and Guan Weiping needs to coordinate with multiple units after going to work tomorrow, and Songping City must also notify them in time to avoid them being in a hurry.
The Modern Agriculture Demonstration Park was built in Nanpu County, Songping City, which is Fang Yang's hometown......
