"But what?"

The woman asked.

Wu Yan paused and said, "Miss Jin, you see, our new City Secretary is no ordinary person; he's quite formidable. This kind of thing, if you don't have backing, who would dare to do it? Li Zegang, as Li Weian's biological father, played a significant role in the case. Do you really think that just this one demotion would allow us to get away with it?"

On the phone, Miss Jin's contemptuous laughter could be heard.

"Minister Wu, this is not something you need to worry about. Just follow what I say, and rest assured, Chen Fang won't be taking office so quickly. He has a lot of matters to handle..."

After these words were spoken.

There was a click, and the phone was hung up.

Wu Yan looked at the disconnected phone, feeling a bit displeased, but he knew that this woman who had found him a month ago indeed had some skills.

"Wang Guoxiang notified me that Chen Fang is about to take office soon, yet she says he won't be able to assume office for a while. How is that possible?"

Wu Yan murmured and then left the corridor.

Half an hour later.

Wu Yan, waiting in the office, received news.

Chen Fang cannot take office for the time being.

Their convoy had just come off the highway exit of Jindu City.

Chen Fang received a call from the Provincial Committee Office stating that Fu Zhiquan, the Provincial Committee Secretary, wished to meet him, and he must report to the Provincial Committee immediately.

Wu Yan was shocked.

Looking at the phone on the desk, he couldn't help but marvel at Miss Jin's extraordinary influence.

About a month ago in the afternoon.

The City Organization Department Secretary, Wu Yan, was in his office reviewing documents.

Just at that moment, a knock sounded on the door.

He didn't pay it any mind, simply called out for the visitor to enter, and saw an elegantly poised woman gracefully walking in.

Even now, he remembers it quite clearly.

The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a pure white slim-fitting dress with a matching casual jacket and sporting shoulder-length, slightly wavy hair—appearing quite classy.

Wu Yan had absolutely no impression of this woman.

Thus, her arrival left him somewhat puzzled.

He put down the documents in his hands and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?"

The woman did not answer.

Instead, she took out a rather exquisite business card from her handbag and handed it to Wu Yan.

Wu Yan picked it up and looked.

The business card read: "Jiahe Investment Chairman Jin Fengyulu."

"Jin Fengyulu? Quite a unique name. Should I call you Miss Jin, or Miss Feng?"

Wu Yan asked.

The woman smiled charmingly.

Without waiting for Wu Yan to invite her, she sat in the chair opposite him.

Her slender fingers took out a pack of slim cigarettes, picked one, and offered it to Wu Yan.

Wu Yan waved and declined.

The woman, as if oblivious, lit it up.

Delicately holding it between her red lips, she took a puff and blew a smoke ring, saying: "Minister Wu, you can call me whatever you like. A name is just a code, after all."

To be honest.

As the Secretary of the City Organization Department.

Wu Yan had met plenty of beautiful women.

Those with a sense of dignity were not lacking either.

But these women tended to swarm toward him like flies to rotten eggs upon seeing him.

Only this woman in front of him seemed to treat him like an ordinary person, with confidence and poise, piquing the interest of the otherwise aloof Wu Yan.

He sat down as well.

Surveying this woman named Jin Fengyulu carefully again, he asked, "I wonder what brings Miss Jin to me?"

Jin Fengyulu gracefully took a puff of her cigarette.

She said leisurely, "I wonder if Minister Wu has aspirations of moving up another step."

Hearing this, Wu Yan immediately smiled.

Isn't climbing the ranks the ultimate dream of anyone in officialdom?

But he also knew.

At his current position.

Taking another step forward was as tricky as ascending into heaven.

He had been stuck in the position of City Organization Department Secretary for six years now; moving forward was extraordinarily difficult.

"Miss Jin, surely you must be joking with me?"

Wu Yan asked.

Jin Fengyulu extinguished the cigarette in her hand.

She said, "Minister Wu, you just need to answer if you want it or not. If you wish, your transfer order will come through tomorrow, if not, I will find someone else to talk to."

After speaking this sentence.

Jin Fengyulu stood up.

Back then, Wu Yan's mind was still perplexed.

Out of nowhere, a woman had just walked in.

Out of nowhere, she had asked him such a bizarre question.

Of course, it was hard to react quickly.

Seeing the woman about to leave.

Wu Yan jumped up.

He said, "Miss Jin, please stay, may I ask if I were to be promoted, where would it be?"

"Jindu City, still serving as the Organization Department Secretary, what do you think? Do you agree?"

Jin Fengyulu turned around and asked him.

Although still the Organization Department Secretary.

Changing cities completely alters the nature of the position.

The City Organization Department Secretary of Jing City is only deputy director-level.

But in Jindu City, a vice-provincial city, it's clearly a full director-level position.

Without thinking, Wu Yan immediately replied, "Agree, of course, I agree!"

Upon hearing his response.

The woman smiled subtly.

She said, "Alright, since Minister Wu agrees, just wait for the good news. Once the appointment notice is received, if needed, I'll be back in touch."

After she finished speaking.

The woman opened the door and left.

Came in a rush.

Left in a rush.

Even after the woman completely disappeared, Wu Yan hadn't fully processed it.

After all, talking about this kind of thing, barely anyone would believe it.

Did Wu Yan truly believe it?

Of course not.

A few minutes later, as he emerged from his muddled thoughts and chased outside, the woman had vanished. Initially thinking it was all a dream, but completely unexpectedly, the next day, he received the notification from the Provincial Committee Organization Department - he was indeed transferred to Jindu City as Organization Department Secretary.

After hanging up the phone.

Wu Yan spent half an hour processing it.

As someone who had spent half a lifetime in the political scene as a deputy director-level official, he knew full well how difficult it is to leap from deputy director-level to full director-level.

It's not just about money anymore.

A strong network of connections is needed, possibly reaching to the high echelons of the Provincial Committee.

Yet, a woman, who didn't seem very old, a chairman of an investment company, managed to manipulate his fate with a single sentence—this was simply unimaginable.

Over the following month.

He almost daily awaited a call from Jin Fengyulu.

But even after he had been in office in Jindu City for a while.

That call still hadn't come.

Until this morning.

An unfamiliar call came to his phone.

On the line, it was Jin Fengyulu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Her first "order" was to have Wu Yan appoint Li Zegang as the Executive Deputy District Mayor of Pinglu District...
