"Mayor Lv? Lv Yifeng?"

Upon hearing this name, Chen Fang shuddered.

Yang Yuanbo nodded and said, "It's not really surprising. Case 108, Mayor Lv was implicated for no reason. He had been hopeful about becoming the top leader, but now, who knows how many years he'll have to wait. Don't blame County Magistrate Li for being ruthless; he was promoted by Mayor Lv. Since Mayor Lv requested it, he had no choice but to comply."

"I understand that in politics, personal feelings can afford no foothold, and interests and positions are foremost."

Chen Fang said.

Yang Yuanbo gave a bitter smile and said, "It's good that you understand this principle; it saves me from elaborating further. Currently, the Disciplinary Committee intends to expel you and hand you over to the police to pursue your responsibility for the kidnapping. I called you in advance to prepare you psychologically, and secondly, I plan to have the committee let you defend yourself and see if you can persuade this group of committee members."

Persuade?

That was impossible.

Still.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Thank you, Secretary Yang."

"Then you go wait in the reception room for now, I'll have someone call you in a while."

"Alright, goodbye Secretary Yang."

He exited the office of Yang Yuanbo.

Just as he was about to reach the door of the reception room.

Chen Fang encountered someone, Deputy County Magistrate Ding Yuan, followed by his secretary, Qian You.

"Hey, who do we have here? Isn't this our hero, Comrade Chen Fang? What, is Comrade Chen Fang also here for a meeting today?"

Upon seeing Chen Fang, Ding Yuan revealed a disdainful smile and said sardonically.

This guy had been thoroughly exploited by Chen Fang during the major Case 108, and he still harbored resentment, finding Chen Fang displeasing to the eye to this very day

"Secretary Yang called me here."

Chen Fang said.

Ding Yuan nodded and said, "Secretary Yang really appreciates talent. Unfortunately, some people don't know their place. I've always said, such people don't get far."

"I will bear Deputy Ding's words in mind."

Chen Fang responded and then entered the reception room.

Watching Chen Fang's dismissive attitude.

Qian You asked, "Boss, should I find a few guys to fix him up a bit?"

Ding Yuan waved his hand and said, "No rush, there's plenty of time. In a little while, this kid is going to be dealt with. We can take care of him whenever we want. Later, give Secretary Guan a heads-up. Once he's in, make sure he's well taken care of, you get my drift?"

"Hehe, I understand."

Qian You answered smugly.

At ten-thirty in the morning.

The county Party Standing Committee officially convened.

Today's meeting had only one agenda item: the handling of the issue concerning Chen Fang, the director of the Education Bureau.

As soon as the meeting started.

Ding Yuan passionately made his case, citing the demands of the Yongfu Education Group, and fiercely accused Chen Fang of actions that had caused tremendous losses to Jinde County.

The others also chimed in, unanimously agreeing that Chen Fang should not only be expelled but also held criminally responsible.

After Ding Yuan finished.

Li Xiaomin, who had been silent, looked worriedly at Yang Yuanbo and asked, "Secretary Yang, Comrade Ding Yuan has already reported the situation. How do you think we should handle this?"

Yang Yuanbo looked around.

He said, "Today I also called Comrade Chen Fang here. Why don't we listen to what he has to say?"

"Alright, since Secretary Yang thinks it's necessary, I have no objections."

Li Xiaomin said.

Yang Yuanbo glanced at his secretary, Xiang Hua, who understood and went out to open the door. After about a minute, Chen Fang appeared in the conference room.

"Comrade Chen Fang, as I mentioned in the office just now, no need to go over it again. I called you here today to ask if you have anything else to explain?"

Yang Yuanbo asked.

Chen Fang paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have nothing to explain."

Nothing?

Yang Yuanbo and Li Xiaomin shuddered.

They had thought that with Chen Fang's eloquence, even if he couldn't prevent the worst outcome, he could at least salvage some "losses." Unexpectedly, he had no interest in defending himself.

"Secretary Yang, do you see? What does it mean when a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water? With his attitude, there's nothing more to be said. I suggest we initiate the procedure to dismiss him."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuan felt a surge of schadenfreude and immediately spoke with a disdainful tone.

Li Xiaomin sighed deeply and said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's start the dismissal procedure. I personally agree to expel Comrade Chen Fang from the party and his office."

"I agree as well."

Li Xiaomin had just finished speaking.

Ding Yuan eagerly extended his hand and said.

"I disagree!"

Just as Ding Yuan finished speaking.

A woman's voice came from the doorway.

It startled everyone.

Then.

A woman in a woolen coat entered gracefully. Her figure was stunning, especially her face, which could rightly be described as ethereal.

Upon seeing her, Chen Fang also shuddered.

"Who are you? Who let you in?"

Ding Yuan asked, frowning.

Before Chen Fang could speak, the woman winked at him, signaling him to stay quiet. She then scanned everyone present and asked, "Chen Fang has caused losses to Jinde County. If the investment in Jinde Vocational Technical College goes through as planned, does that mean he would be considered blameless?"

Ding Yuan wanted to throw her out.

But he was amused by her bold statement.

He said, "Who are you? Such audacity! If you can get Yongfu Education Group to continue their investment, I promise, as the Deputy County Magistrate, not to pursue Chen Fang's liability, and he won't be expelled."

"Good, you said it."

The woman smiled faintly, her charm undeniable.

She walked to the door and said, "You can come in now."

As soon as she finished speaking.

A middle-aged man in a suit obediently walked in.

As this man appeared, not just Ding Yuan, but also Yang Yuanbo, Li Xiaomin, and everyone else stood up.

"Chairman Bi, what brings you here?"

Ding Yuan also shuddered, asking in astonishment.

The well-known chairman of Yongfu Education Group, Bi Yongfu, had personally appeared.

Bi Yongfu took a deep breath.

He said, "On behalf of Yongfu Education Group, I declare that the investment in Jinde County Vocational Technical College will continue. Not only will it continue, but it will also increase from the initial 3.3 billion yuan to 3.8 billion yuan. According to the prior agreement, the first installment of the investment will be transferred tomorrow."

What?

Those present could hardly believe their ears.

Stopping the investment was something Bi Yongfu had publicly declared and even communicated to the Wen'an City and Jinde County committees. A statement from a chairman of such stature was certainly not a joke.

But only a few days had passed.

He had now reversed his previous statement and even promised additional investment. What was happening?

"That... that Deputy County Magistrate, everyone heard what you just said, right? As long as the investment doesn't fall through, you ensure that Chen Fang won't be expelled, right?"

The woman asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ding Yuan was startled: "This..."

He was somewhat at a loss for words.

He looked towards Li Xiaomin.

Li Xiaomin was also bewildered by this turn of events.

He cleared his throat and said, "Since Yongfu Education Group is still willing to invest, then the loss clearly doesn't exist. But the matter of Chen Fang's kidnapping..."

"Correct, the kidnapping is a criminal offense and is irrelevant to our committee's decision."

Ding Yuan immediately chimed in.

The woman smiled slightly, seemingly having anticipated this response.

She called out to the door, "You can come in now."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Another man walked in.

This man was Zhao Yunpeng, vice president of Yongfu Education Group.

Zhao Yunpeng looked somewhat shrunken and even a bit afraid.

The woman patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Zhao, go ahead, it's your turn."
