In the afternoon, Fang Xianzhi came to Feng Sizhe's office as soon as she got to work.

The fact that the secretary condescended to come to his office instead of calling him to report on his work showed his attitude. Feng Sizhe stood up from his seat immediately and said, "Oh, why is Secretary Fang here? If you have something to say, just call me and I'll go and report."

"Haha, I don't have anything to do, just taking a walk. Besides, my work is not as busy as Sizhe's." After Fang Xianzhi said a few polite words, he sat down in the seat that belonged to the guest.

Wang Ruihua hurriedly followed in with two cups of hot tea, one in front of Fang Xianzhi and one in front of Feng Sizhe, then turned and left. She was also very curious about how the secretary came to the county magistrate's office, but as a subordinate, she could only think about some questions in her mind, and it would be bad to ask them out loud.

After Wang Ruihua walked out, Fang Xianzhi laughed and said, "Sizhe, I think you'd better pick a secretary. There are a few young people who have just arrived in the secretarial department who are very good, with good academic qualifications, and they seem quite smart."

"Thank you for your concern Secretary. I'm actually used to it. Finding a secretary requires working together, which takes time. Now the harvest is over and it's almost the end of the year. There is a lot of work to do. I don't have time to deal with that, haha." Feng Sizhe knew very well the reason why Fang Xianzhi came, but seeing that he didn't intend to say it right away, he naturally didn't want to bring it up directly. So what's wrong with just laughing it off with the other party?

In fact, Fang Xianzhi just said that, and Feng Sizhe just explained that. It was just a way for the two of them to start their conversation, and no one really took it seriously. Even in Fang Xianzhi's opinion, with a beauty like Wang Ruihua serving him every day, what was the point of having a secretary? The party has a rule that you can't use secretaries of the opposite sex. If you want a secretary, it must be a man. If that's the case, how can Wang Ruihua appear in front of Feng Sizhe with a legitimate identity?

"Oh, yes, the county magistrate is indeed too busy. Look, even the office furnishings you are using now are from when I was the county magistrate. Look, you don't even know how to change them." Fang Xianzhi looked around and found that many of the things in Feng Sizhe's room were from when he was the county magistrate, and many of the items and furnishings had not been moved. He felt a sense of regret, thinking that some leaders, upon taking office, would first replace all of their predecessor's things to show their own differences, but Feng Sizhe didn't do that. It was really rare.

"Haha, I don't have such feeling. Most of these things are new and can be used. Besides, why do we have to move the positions of these things? Aren't they good enough like this now?" Feng Sizhe laughed. He didn't think that there should be too many adjustments to things in the office. It was totally unnecessary and it was just situationalism.

Seeing Feng Sizhe's affirmation, Fang Xianzhi nodded and said, "Sizhe, it's a good point. As party cadres and loyal servants of the people, we should do more practical things instead of pursuing superficial things. We have indeed forgotten the fine tradition of the older generation of hard work and simplicity. I want to learn from you in this regard."

Fang Xianzhi had reasons to say this, because after he became the county party secretary, he first replaced some of the things that had been done when Secretary Sun Shicun was in office. Now when he thinks about Feng Sizhe's actions, he feels ashamed.

"Hey, what is there to learn from this? It depends on everyone's different ideas. It's not a big deal." Feng Sizhe waved his hand. He knew that Fang Xianzhi had made large-scale adjustments to the things in the secretary's room after becoming the county party secretary, but he thought it was normal. Maybe the furnishings of Secretary Sun's office did not suit Secretary Fang's wishes before, so changes were normal. There were no hard and fast rules, and there was no need to blame himself.

Feng Sizhe said it calmly, and Fang Xianzhi was indeed very moved after hearing it. He seemed to be speaking from his heart. He continued, "Yes, our Dahu County has undergone great changes since you came. Now the economic conditions are much better than when you came more than two years ago. Farmers and people have a good life, and officials are very united. This is very good. I think this good situation is not easy to come by, and we should cherish it very much."

Fang Xianzhi mentioned the unity and the situation faced by the county party committee, which turned the direction of the conversation between the two towards Shi Tou, because having good relations with the superiors is also for the overall stability of Dahu County.

How could Feng Sizhe not know what he meant? Seeing that Fang Xianzhi had a lot to say but couldn't say it, he chuckled and asked on behalf of Fang Xianzhi, "Secretary Fang, we have been working together for a long time. We are colleagues and friends. In fact, I also know why you came to me. Just say whatever you want to say."

Feng Sizhe took the initiative to break the window paper, which Fang Xianzhi was eager to see. "Haha, Sizhe is very smart. That's right. I came here just to ask the man named Ning Bentou, is his situation very complicated? If the problem is not serious, I think it is better to let him go. Such a person can't be imprisoned for life for the mistakes he made. Instead of doing this, it is better to let him go now. Let me tell you, Deputy Mayor Du called me at noon. I can tell that he cares about his brother-in-law very much, so I promised him that if the problem is not very complicated, he will return the person today. Hey, I didn't know at the time that you were asking me to arrest him. If I knew, I would not answer like this. Now it's all right, it makes me... Hehe, it's very difficult."

In fact, Fang Xianzhi did not promise Du Tianhe on the phone that he would release the person today. The reason why he said this was because he thought about it for a long time after talking with Luo Jinlong and made the decision after careful consideration.

Fang Xianzhi made this decision because he thought he had to please Du Tianhe this time. It was not that he wanted to flatter him. He was just an executive vice mayor. Although he was a leader of the municipal party committee, he was not in charge of him. The reason why he wanted to do this was to prove himself more, to prove that he, the county party secretary, was not a decoration. Otherwise, why did Du Tianhe only call him instead of calling Luo Jinlong who was in charge of this matter, or talking to Feng Sizhe who was directly involved in this matter. To put it bluntly, it was because he was looked up to by others and thought that he was the secretary of Dahu County and the top leader. If he told him anything, it would be done. Just for this trust, he had to give an explanation to the other party, to let them know that he was right to have such an idea, and he still had the final say in Dahu County and was a well-deserved county party secretary.

It was because of this idea that he deliberately said in front of Feng Sizhe that he guaranteed that he would release the person today. In fact, he was telling Feng Sizhe that he was firm in his intentions and hoped that he could understand him and not make things embarrassing for everyone.

Feng Sizhe didn't expect that Fang Xianzhi had already agreed to Du Tianhe on the phone. If that was the case, then he had to be released. Otherwise, Fang Xianzhi would be angry because he lost face. If that was the case, it would not be a good thing for the stability and unity of Dahu County. Forget it. I was still a little hesitant. Since Fang Xianzhi said so, I would just give him a face. Although the person could be released, some ugly words had to be said in the beginning, otherwise it would be troublesome if something unpredictable happened.

"Well, since Secretary Fang has agreed to Deputy Mayor Du, then I don't have any problems. But before releasing the person, I still have some requests to make. I hope Secretary Fang can convey them to Deputy Mayor Du."

Fang Xianzhi was of course very happy to hear Feng Sizhe agree to release the person without hesitation. This was a chance for him to gain face, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Sizhe, just tell me what you want to say, and I will definitely pass it on to Deputy Mayor Du."

"Okay then." Feng Sizhe nodded. "Shi Tou went to Pengfei Peanut Products Processing Factory twice to force the sale of peanuts in his hands, and also openly molested Pengfei General Manager Bai Caixia. Ordinarily, he could be convicted based on these. But considering that Secretary Fang spoke for him, I will let him go. I can let him go this time, but I hope that Shi Tou will not bother Pengfei Company again, not cause trouble here, and not trouble President Bai. Otherwise, if something happens, I don't know how to explain it to President Bai. Secretary Fang, you should also know that whether it is Pengfei Peanut Products Processing Factory or Xiarui Crafts Co., Ltd., President Bai has a large share and voice. If President Bai is really hurt, he will withdraw his investment or take other actions, which will cause inevitable losses to the economy of Dahu County. I think Secretary Fang is clear about this."

"Of course. In fact, Deputy Mayor Du has also promised me that he will strictly discipline his brother-in-law and will not allow Shi Tou to set foot in Dahu County again. This is actually guaranteed. As the secretary, I certainly don't want such a thing to happen, so I can convey this to Deputy Mayor Du and I believe he can guarantee and understand it."

"That's good. In that case, Secretary Fang can call Comrade Luo Jinlong and ask him to release the person." Seeing Fang Xianzhi agreed readily, Feng Sizhe also nodded. Since the other party agreed to the conditions he proposed, he had no reason to keep the person alive.
