"I've said all I wanted to say, County Mayor Ding, is there anything else you wish to add?"

Fan Xian asked Ding Mengxiang.

The meeting had been hastily organized to begin with.

Ding Mengxiang hadn't prepared any speech and was momentarily lost for words, only for a mere second.

Fan Xian then said, "It seems County Mayor Ding has nothing else to add, so let's leave it at that. Meeting adjourned."

After dropping that remark, Fan Xian left the conference room.

The entire meeting lasted less than ten minutes.

Some had just reached the corridor only to be informed they could not enter and had to obediently stand outside; seeing Fan Xian exit, they greeted her one by one.

Fan Xian initially ignored them.

Halfway through, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

With a cold stare at the latecomers, she said, "If you're late to my meetings in the future, then don't bother attending them at all."

Having said that, she quickly walked away.

Was this still Fan Xian?

Chen Fang remembered how pitiful she looked like a little kitten when she was at the hospital and at his home, but now, the commanding presence she exuded, the pressure she imposed, seemed even stronger than all the men present, it was truly unbelievable.

Barely stepping out of the conference room,

Ding Yuan came up to him quickly and asked in a low voice, "Do you know the new Secretary Fan?"

"Er... about that..."

Chen Fang hadn't quite figured out what to say yet.

Ding Yuan, frowning, mumbled, "You couldn't possibly know her, maybe I'm overthinking it..."

Just as he was about to walk away,

Chen Fang grabbed him.

He inquired, "Uncle Ding, who exactly is Secretary Fan? Why does it seem like everyone is so afraid of her?"

"You don't know?"

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "I don't."

Looking around, Ding Yuan explained, "Secretary Fan came down from the Provincial Disciplinary Committee. After arriving, she spent some time at the City Disciplinary Committee but didn't hold a specific position."

"So what's there to be afraid of with someone from the Provincial Disciplinary Committee?"

Chen Fang muttered.

Ding Yuan said, "Of course there's nothing to be afraid of with someone from the Provincial Disciplinary Committee. Have you heard of the case involving the amorous Secretary of Jianchang City?"

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Is that the one who kept more than 140 mistresses?"

Ding Yuan hummed in affirmation and said, "The former Secretary of Jianchang City had connections with provincial leaders, but he was brought down by her."

"Secretary Fan is that formidable?"

"That's not even the most formidable thing about her. Do you know who her father-in-law is?"

"Who?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ding Yuan pointed at the ceiling and said, "The Secretary-General of the Communist Party Committee in our neighboring province."

"What about her husband?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ding Yuan tapped his head and said, "I know what you're thinking, lad. It's undeniable that Secretary Fan is quite beautiful, but such a woman is not to be trifled with, or you'll be ruined."

"When did I say I was going to mess with her?"

Chen Fang said grievously.

Looking at him disdainfully, Ding Yuan said, "You're just like your father."

"Hm? My dad is also very popular with women?"

"See? You just confessed without being pressed!"

Ding Yuan teased.

To tell the truth,

Chen Fang couldn't fully come to terms with Fan Xian being the new County Party Secretary the entire day.

After getting off work and returning home, on a whim, he lay down on the floor.

Images of Fan Xian standing before him with her legs apart that day played through his mind.

While he applied ointment to the word "Butterfly," her most private area was only thirty to forty centimeters away from him, the visual impact of which remained vivid in his memory.

Indeed, people do have two sides.

No matter how tough a woman appears on the outside, she also has a vulnerable side.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking suddenly rang out.

Chen Fang scrambled up from the floor.

Running to the door,

As soon as he opened it.

Yu Zhengchuan, carrying several lunch boxes, just grinned foolishly at Chen Fang.

"Haven't had dinner yet? Look, I brought food for you."

Yu Zhengchuan wobbled the lunch boxes in his hand as he spoke.

Chen Fang took a closer look, and sure enough, they were lunch boxes, and not just a few.

He quickly let him in.

Yu Zhengchuan placed the takeout containers on the table and spread them out, revealing there were as many as seven or eight.

Upon opening the lids, Chen Fang discovered that each contained fine dishes, each looking quite pricey.

"Did you hit the lottery, kid?"

Chen Fang asked.

Yu Zhengchuan chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? Can't I treat my brother to a meal without winning the lottery?"

"Huh? That generous?"

Chen Fang casually picked up a mantis shrimp, interestedly peeling it as he asked, "So? Beibei didn't go?"

"What do you mean Beibei didn't go? Go where?"

Yu Zhengchuan asked.

Chen Fang looked at him with disdain and said, "Don't think I don't know. These meals are from your restaurant, and with your personality, you wouldn't order such expensive stuff. You must have invited Beibei to eat, right?"

"Hehe, no, it's just for you."

Chen Fang saw he wouldn't admit it.

So he simply threw the mantis shrimp he was holding back and said, "Then I won't eat."

"Alright, alright, I admit, it's from my restaurant..."

He told Chen Fang that today, it was originally Beibei who had invited him to dinner. He arrived at the restaurant early, ordered the dishes in advance, and prepared to treat Beibei. But come mealtime, Beibei told him her husband's dinner was delayed, and she had to rush back to cook for him. With so much food, Yu Zhengchuan couldn't finish it all, so he decided to bring it over.

"I knew it; you weren't that generous."

Chen Fang said disdainfully.

Yu Zhengchuan said, "Still, I was thinking of you, see? Such good food, why would I give it to someone else?"

"That's true, guess you do have a conscience."

Chen Fang picked up his chopsticks.

Yu Zhengchuan grinned wickedly as he leaned in close to Chen Fang and asked, "We're brothers, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Look, this whole table, eight hundred bucks. Since we're brothers, let's go Dutch; just give me 500 and we're good."

Chen Fang's movements suddenly froze.

He asked, "You... for an eight hundred buck bill, why the hell should I pay 500 to go Dutch?"

"Hehe, isn't there a delivery charge? I brought it all the way from so far; you gotta give me some tip for the effort, right?"

Yu Zhengchuan shamelessly said.

Chen Fang gritted his teeth, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to jab at Yu Zhengchuan when a cough sounded at the doorway.

Chen Fang and Yu Zhengchuan's movements instantly stopped as they looked towards the doorway, not realizing when Fan Xian had appeared there.

"Looking for you?"

Yu Zhengchuan asked.

Chen Fang nodded as a confirmation.

Yu Zhengchuan let out a sleazy laugh and said, "You dog, another beauty each day, huh?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Fang scolded.

Yu Zhengchuan pointed a finger and laughed, "Haha, look at you, all shy. Tut, tut, tut, why the pretense, man? The beauty's come knocking, and you're still putting on airs? Really don't know…"

He hadn't finished the next few words.

Chen Fang shoved him, saying, "The new County Party Secretary Fan."

The smile on Yu Zhengchuan's face froze abruptly.

"Secretary... Secretary Fan."

Yu Zhengchuan called out.

Fan Xian gave a faint smile and walked in.

Yu Zhengchuan obsequiously asked, "Secretary Fan, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"No."

Fan Xian said.

Quickly, Yu Zhengchuan pointed to the food on the table and said, "Secretary Fan, I'm Chen Fang's friend. Chen Fang knew you hadn't eaten, so he asked me to bring this food over. You're just in time."

After saying that,

he turned to Chen Fang, stretched out his hand, and said, "Comrade Ah Fang, your ordered food is all here, a total of 1000 yuan."

"You..."

Chen Fang was fuming.

Seeing his angry face, Yu Zhengchuan deliberately asked loudly, "Comrade Ah Fang, you wouldn't be planning to treat Secretary Fan to dinner yet expect Secretary Fan to pay, right?"
