No, they don't speak Shanghainese at all. Hefei and most of Anhui province speak a variant of Mandarin, so you definitely should be learning Mandarin. Essentially, if it's north of the Yangtze River, it's all Mandarin dialects, and Anhui is north of the Yangtze River.

Hehe, just to give you an idea, the Shanghainese pronunciation for Hefei is Avi ("ah-vee").
