The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 306: I Don’t Have Much Quality


"Chen Fang! You are simply too rude!"

He Wenbin didn't know how to retort and could only shout back, his face turning red.

Chen Fang sneered and said, "Rude? I can be even cruder. I'm afraid if I really speak my mind, your ancestors going back eighteen generations would come after you, even those who've descended to the eighteenth level of hell won't rest in peace."

"It's your ancestors who've gone to hell."

He Wenbin was clearly at his wit's end.

Seeing that their conversation was getting more and more ridiculous.

Ding Mengxiang finally lost his patience and scolded, "Enough, does this look fitting for a deputy county head?"

"Mayor Ding, it's him…"

He Wenbin wanted to blame Chen Fang.

Ding Mengxiang glared at him and said, "Since we can't reach a unanimous decision on this matter, let's do this, we'll take it to the party group meeting for discussion."

"Mayor Ding, if the party's standing committee has already made a decision, isn't it a bit overstepping to bring it to the government party group meeting for discussion?"

Who couldn't understand Ding Mengxiang's little ploy?

Ding Yuan said, somewhat displeased.

Ding Mengxiang snorted and replied, "Of course I will abide by the standing committee's resolution, but disaster reconstruction isn't a trifling matter. I'm not at ease with Comrade Chen Fang handling it alone. After all, we are doing this for the sake of good work."

"Mayor Ding, I have an idea, see if you think it's feasible?"

Suddenly, He Wenbin interrupted what everyone was about to say.

Ding Mengxiang said, "Let's hear it."

Looking at Chen Fang provocatively, He Wenbin said, "Mayor Ding, what the reconstruction of Houtang Village needs most is funds. We've received some from the city and county's finances, and some from social donations, but to resettle more than a thousand residents, it's obviously not enough. How about we start a fundraising competition? Chen Fang and I will be in charge respectively, and whoever raises more donations will take the lead in this matter. How does that sound?"

"I disagree, this isn't child's play. Since when do we assign jobs based on the amount of donations raised?"

Ding Yuan immediately objected after hearing this.

Ding Mengxiang responded, "Fundraising is also part of work capability. Comrade Chen Fang, what do you think?"

"I have no problem with it,"

Chen Fang said.

"Chen Fang!"

Ding Yuan was anxious and gave him a meaningful look.

But Chen Fang acted as if he didn't notice at all.

Ding Mengxiang smiled and announced, "All right, that's settled then. I'll give you two three days. In three days, at the county government entrance, hold a fundraising ceremony. Whoever raises more takes charge of the reconstruction of Houtang Village. That's it, meeting adjourned."

Since the decision had been made.

Nobody felt compelled to say any more.

The three left Ding Mengxiang's office and, upon reaching the stairwell, Ding Yuan reproached, "Chen Fang, are you really planning to give up on such a good opportunity?"

"Why do you say I've given up?"

Chen Fang asked, puzzled.

Ding Yuan angrily said, "Aren't you aware that He Wenbin used to manage enterprise and investment promotion? He has good relations with the enterprises in Jinde County. It'll be so much easier for him to raise donations. And you? How long have you been in Jinde County, do you have any foundation with the enterprises? Are you planning to have the education system make donations?"

"That's not out of the question either."

Chen Fang said with a smirk.

Seeing Ding Yuan about to blow his top.

Chen Fang quickly patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Vice-Director Ding, relax. I will handle this beautifully."

Then.

He leaned close to Ding Yuan's ear.

And said, "After this fundraising, your position might just shake a little."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Yuan asked.

Chen Fang grinned and replied, "You'll find out in a few days."

After that.

He chased after Wang Yiyi's direction.

Moving briskly.

He caught up with Wang Yiyi's pace.

Turning around and seeing Chen Fang, Wang Yiyi smiled and said, "You really have some nerve, insulting someone without even using foul language. He Wenbin was so angry he was practically smoking through his nostrils."

"Can't help it, some people are all sanctimonious, too scornful to swear, always feeling it would demean their status if they did. I'm different; I don't have such qualities."

Chen Fang said with a chuckle.

Wang Yiyi laughed, "You have a clear self-awareness, not bad."

Leaning close to Wang Yiyi's ear, Chen Fang whispered, "Deputy Mayor Wang, when are we going to 'set off some fireworks'?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yiyi's face turned red immediately.

She stopped walking, looked around to see if anyone was there, and said angrily, "Chen Fang, are you insane? Talking about this in broad daylight?"

"Deputy Mayor Wang, you did say that if you survived a disaster, whenever I wanted to sleep with you, you'd deliver yourself right to my door."

Chen Fang's expression began to take on a lecherous look.

Wang Yiyi's face turned red, and she stammered, "That... that was all because at the time... at the time I thought I was going to die..."

"So you're saying, Vice County Chief Wang doesn't keep her word?"

Chen Fang asked provocatively.

Wang Yiyi stamped her foot and said with a blushing face, "That's not it... it's broad daylight now..."

"So you're saying, you'll take the initiative to deliver the goods tonight?"

Chen Fang pressed on step by step.

Wang Yiyi had nowhere to retreat.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "Fine, you go and book a room tonight and wait for me."

"I was just kidding."

Chen Fang made a face at her and quickly ran off.

Wang Yiyi stood there, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"You stinky Chen Fang, dead Chen Fang, truly rotten to the core..."

There was no other choice but to mutter a few curses to get it out of her system.

Back in the office, it was almost time to get off work.

Tomorrow would be the weekend.

Time to take a good rest.

Humming a tune, Chen Fang had just reached the ground floor when his phone rang. Looking at the number, it was from Wen Mei.

This woman, is she planning to come over for a "triple high" tonight?

"Where are you?"

As soon as he picked up the phone, Wen Mei asked bluntly.

"Just got off work, what's up?"

Chen Fang asked.

Wen Mei said, "I'm waiting for you across the street. Don't bother with your scooter, I'll give you a ride."

Indeed, this woman was starving for it.

Chen Fang sighed, crossed the street, and sure enough, Wen Mei was already in the car waving at him.

He climbed into the passenger seat.

Wen Mei closed the car window and asked, "Have you taken Six-Flavor Rehmanni?"

"I, Chen Fang, stand tall and upright; that stuff has no effect on me,"

Chen Fang said.

Wen Mei, with a lascivious look, asked, "Really? Does that mean I'm going to be sent to heaven tonight?"

"I only have one condition!"

Chen Fang raised a finger and said.

Wen Mei responded, "Let's hear it."

Chen Fang said, "Can we find a bed? We've done it so many times, and not once on a bed. Otherwise..."

"Keep dreaming."

Wen Mei floored the accelerator and the car drove off.

After driving along the main road for about ten minutes or so, Chen Fang looked out the window a few times and asked, "This isn't the way to my house. Are we heading to yours?"

"To the beach!"

"What for?"

"What do you think?"

Wen Mei countered.

Chen Fang helplessly shook his head and said, "Fine, once I'm in your car, I'm at your mercy anyway."

The car drove for roughly half an hour and then stopped at the edge of Xiaoqi Beach.

Jinde County is a coastal tourist city with many open beach attractions, but Xiaoqi Beach is not one of them.

It's an unmanaged, less frequented beach, with few visitors usually.

As soon as Chen Fang got out of the car, he saw a glimpse of a bonfire flickering in the distance on the beach.

He remarked, "Seems like there are quite a few people with the same romantic ideas as you."

Wen Mei gave him a sidelong glance and said, "I've never been one for sentiment, but someone else is, and she's the one behind today's plan."

"Gu Jingshu is here too?"

Chen Fang asked, taken aback.

Wen Mei flicked his forehead and asked, "Are you starting to look forward to tonight's camping?"

Camping?

Are we actually going to sleep on the beach tonight?

By the end of March in Jinde County, it was no longer that cold, and the sea breeze actually felt rather comfortable on the skin.

There were already three tents set up on the beach, with a very lively bonfire burning in the middle.

A silhouette was busy by the barbecue grill.
