Ding Mengxiang suddenly looked at Ding Yuan.

"Did you do it?"

Ding Yuan looked embarrassed. He would have liked to claim he did, but he simply didn't have the capacity.

He quickly glanced at Chen Fang.

Saw that Chen Fang just happened to wink at him.

Swallowing his saliva, he said, "Uh... sort of."

Although Ding Yuan had admitted it.

But Ding Mengxiang knew very well that it was no different from a fairy tale.

If Ding Yuan had that capability, he would have long ceased to be a Deputy County Magistrate.

But then again, Chen Fang couldn't possibly have such ability either.

Could it be that there was some mysterious mastermind helping him from behind?

His first thought was of the Sen Can Group.

It seemed now, only the Sen Can Group had the capability to do such things.

He said he wouldn't ask Miss Zhong for help, but after all was done, it was just a different approach.

The overall situation was settled.

Continuing to make a fuss would only mar the dignity of his position as the county head.

He took a deep breath and said, "For this donation, Comrade Chen Fang has won. According to the agreement, he will lead the reconstruction work of the village. Let's settle it at that."

After speaking, he flung his sleeves and left angrily.

He Wenbin was like someone waking from a dream.

It was all done in vain.

Not only did he get nothing, but he also used up all the favors he had painstakingly accumulated. What's more, the money he had donated would now boost Chen Fang's political achievements, an utterly unbearable thought.

Despite his unwillingness.

There was nothing he could do about it.

He chased after Ding Mengxiang.

"Be honest, who is helping you? Is it Miss Zhong again from last time?"

Ding Yuan moved close to Chen Fang and asked quietly.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you before? It was you who helped me."

"How could I have such influence?"

Ding Yuan said self-mockingly.

Chen Fang laughed and said, "You may not have it, but you must pretend you do. Otherwise, how would you become the county head?"

"What county head? Are you joking? Ding Mengxiang hasn't even solidified his position yet. It's not my turn yet."

"Just wait and see; the bullets are still flying. In a little while, you'll see the results. Meanwhile, keep an eye on things for me; I've got to step out for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

Ding Yuan asked.

Chen Fang had already left, turning his back to him and waving his hand, "I'm tired, going back to rest."

After speaking, he disappeared at the main gate.

Had Chen Fang really gone back?

He hadn't.

He hailed a taxi and headed straight for Qingfeng Park.

Qingfeng Park was the largest and oldest city park in Jinde County, located next to the mother river, Qingfeng Creek.

Under the shade of trees.

An old man dressed in traditional Tang attire.

Stood in the center of the lawn, earnestly performing Tai Chi.

Not far from him in all four directions, people were reading newspapers, walking, or lazily sitting on the ground. They appeared to be people resting in the park, but in fact, they were all his "bodyguards."

Seeing Chen Fang arrive.

The old man didn't stop.

Continuing his movements, he asked, "Is it done?"

"Thanks to Elder Ning, it's all settled."

The man in front of him was none other than Ning Gang, Ning Yi's grandfather.

As a former governor of Yong'an Province, a single phone call to get the chambers of commerce to contribute a million wasn't a difficult task. For the donation, Chen Fang had sought Ning Gang's help.

"How are you doing with the thing you promised me?"

Ning Gang asked.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "I've already discussed it with Secretary Fan Xian. We'll have Ning Yi be her secretary."

Ning Gang laughed heartily and said, "It's almost funny, my granddaughter has to rely on your connections, Chen Fang. If word of this got out, people would die laughing."

"Isn't it because Elder Ning didn't want Ning Yi's identity exposed?"

Chen Fang said.

With that said.

Ning Gang stopped his movements.

He wiped off his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and said, "I, Ning Gang, have been in the governmental field all my life and have offended many. Along with her father's affairs, I really didn't want her to enter the bureaucratic world. But she's so stubborn and wouldn't listen or let me help her. Now that it's settled, I have to support her a bit. Remember, this transfer was your doing, and I had nothing to do with it, or else she would blame me again."

"Rest assured, Elder Ning, I will handle everything without a trace."

"Hmm, I trust that you will manage this well."

After speaking.

He stretched languidly.

He said, "That girl should have arrived this afternoon; I still want to leave this place of trouble. If she sees me here, nine times out of ten she'll guess that it was me who caused the mischief."

"I'll see Deputy County Magistrate Ning off."

Chen Fang said.

Ning Gang stretched out his hand to stop him.

He said, "You've helped me once, I've helped you once; it's a fair trade without personal feelings involved. Don't see me off, or else I'll owe you a favor. Take care. I'm leaving."

Having said that,

he left without looking back.

What a peculiar old man.

But isn't he also a charming old man?

Half past two in the afternoon.

Jinde County train station.

Chen Fang had already been waiting at the exit for a long time.

The train Ning Yi was on had arrived ten minutes ago, and her fellow passengers had gradually begun to appear, but Ning Yi was nowhere to be seen.

What if something had happened?

The more Chen Fang waited, the more anxious he became, and he was just about to go in to check.

At that moment, a "giant luggage rack" slowly moved towards him from a distance.

The so-called giant luggage rack was Ning Yi.

On either side of her, there were massive suitcases stacked with several travel bags, wobbling as if they might collapse at any moment.

He rushed over anxiously.

Seeing that Ning Yi was already tired, with her face flushed and slightly sweating.

"Did you bring the entire house?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ning Yi sighed deeply and said, "This is just part of it. There are still some things left; I'll have to go back and get them once I've secured a job this weekend."

"What's all this in here? Where did you get so much stuff?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ning Yi chuckled and said, "Oh, just clothes, cosmetics, and all sorts of miscellaneous things."

Women, indeed, are troublesome.

With Chen Fang's help, a huge pile of luggage was moved to the entrance of the station.

Ning Yi poked her head out and asked, "Where's your car?"

Chen Fang pointed at a motorcycle parked nearby and said, "Here, this one."

"This one? What about my luggage?"

"I didn't know you were bringing so much luggage."

"Well, what do we do now?"

Ning Yi asked anxiously.

Chen Fang thought for a moment and said, "Wait a sec, I'll get someone to help."

Having said that, he made a phone call.

"A Chuan, where are you?"

"At work, where else?

"Busy?"

Chen Fang asked.

Yu Zhengchuan said, "Spit it out, what do you need?"

"Come to the train station with your car, help me pick someone up."

"Not coming! I'm at work."

Yu Zhengchuan refused without a second thought.

Chen Fang said, "A hundred bucks."

"Two hundred!"

"Damn, I'm already giving you a deal at a hundred. For two hundred, I may as well call a taxi. We're brothers; I was thinking of making this money for you. Forget it then..."

Chen Fang was about to hang up.

Yu Zhengchuan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, a hundred will do. I'm on my way, a hundred bucks can still buy a bouquet for our Beibei..."

He hung up the phone.

Ning Yi then asked, "Your friend?"

"Yeah."

"Your friend charges you?"

"This friend is... a bit special..."

Chen Fang smiled awkwardly.

Ten minutes later,

a sedan slowly pulled up in front of Chen Fang. The window rolled down, and Yu Zhengchuan frowned and said, "You didn't tell me on the phone there was this much stuff. Let's get one thing straight, I'm not helping you carry it. If I have to, it'll cost extra."

"How much more?"

"At least a hundred, or else I'm leaving."

Yu Zhengchuan said sternly.

Just then, Ning Yi emerged from behind the towering luggage and said, "My luggage isn't heavy; I'll move it myself..."

It was at that moment when Yu Zhengchuan saw Ning Yi, his eyes suddenly widened...
