After the meeting had ended.

Liu Jiayang let everyone disperse,

but called back the office director Wang Naixiang and the deputy commissioner Lin Shujie.

He said, "Director Wang, please take care of Comrade Chen Fang's office and dormitory arrangements today."

"Certainly, certainly, Commissioner Liu, I'll get right on it,"

Wang Naixiang said, nodding again and again.

Then,

Liu Jiayang turned to Lin Shujie and said, "Commissioner Lin, Comrade Chen Fang comes from a government post and is not very familiar with our customs work. Since you're both young, I hope you'll help him out more often."

"Of course,"

Lin Shujie nodded and replied.

Following that,

Liu Jiayang then patted Chen Fang on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Chen Fang, you are new here, so take your time to get familiar with the environment. If there's anything you don't understand, ask Commissioner Lin, and if you encounter any difficulties, come directly to me. Our customs office is, in fact, like one big family where everyone helps each other and ensures the tasks handed down from above are completed."

"Understood, Commissioner Liu, I've got it,"

Chen Fang said.

Wang Naixiang was just about to take him out,

but Liu Jiayang seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, that's right, Comrade Chen Fang, we have prepared a welcome dinner for you tonight. You don't have any other plans, do you?"

"None,"

Chen Fang replied.

Liu Jiayang smiled and said, "Good, then I'll see you tonight."

Under Wang Naixiang's lead,

Chen Fang arrived at the office on the fifth floor.

It truly was worthy of being a new building.

The office was bright and clean, far better than the old and dilapidated one back in Jinde County.

"Commissioner Chen, I've had someone clean this office thoroughly. If you have any other requests, let me know, and I will handle them as soon as possible,"

Wang Naixiang said.

Chen Fang gave a slight smile,

and replied, "Thank you, Director Wang."

There's no need for formalities, Commissioner Chen; it's all part of the job. Don't mention it. You just get settled in, and later I will take you to see the dormitory. It's not far, just across the street from our building, called Qingfeng Garden."

Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "Director Wang, there's no need to trouble yourself; just give me the keys and the address, and I'll go there myself later."

"It's no trouble at all. I'll still take you there, Commissioner Chen. If anything needs changing, I'll know what to do."

"Well...okay then,"

Seeing Wang Naixiang's courteous insistence,

Chen Fang could only nod in agreement.

After Wang Naixiang had left,

Chen Fang sat down on the sofa with a thud.

So far,

his impression of the Wen'an customs was quite good.

Everyone seemed very enthusiastic.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Fang had arrived with a purpose, he might have been taken in by this façade of friendliness.

The tobacco smuggling case that Chou Goushi mentioned had occurred in Jinde County,

yet the Wen'an City customs had never conducted any relevant investigation, which sufficiently indicated that inside the Wen'an City customs, someone must be linked to the tobacco smuggling case.

Such a large tobacco smuggling case,

opting to take place within Wen'an City's jurisdiction, also proved that there was a significant problem with the customs in Wen'an City.

Therefore, no one knew what was truly behind the surface amicability of these people.

Just as Chen Fang was arranging his office supplies one by one on his desk,

the phone suddenly rang.

Recognizing the number, it was from Gao Younan.

Chen Fang's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly answered the call.

"How's it going? Have you found anything?"

Chen Fang asked impatiently.

Gao Younan gave a hum of affirmation.

He said, "I've found something. She is at Tianyuan Mechanical Factory, a factory that produces components for excavators. I've only heard about her from here; I haven't had any direct contact yet."

"What are your next steps?"

Chen Fang inquired.

"I've tried getting in, but the security is tight, and I can't get through. I noticed they have a job posting, so I plan to apply for a job and see what I can find out that way,"

Gao Younan explained.

"Alright, make sure to notify me as soon as you have any firsthand information."

"Understood."

After the two finished their conversation, the call was disconnected.

Gao Younan and Chen Fang had traveled to Wen'an City separately.

Chen Fang started his new assignment,

while Gao Younan's task was to help Chen Fang find Tan Xiao's whereabouts.

Gaoling Group had a significant presence in Wen'an City.

There are several factories alone.

Gao Younan managed to find out so quickly, his actions were indeed fast.

He had just hung up the phone.

When there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

After Chen Fang called out,

The door was pushed open from outside.

Lin Shujie walked in gracefully,

Her face adorned with a sweet smile.

Upon seeing her, Chen Fang immediately stood up and greeted, "Section Chief Lin."

Lin Shujie, holding a stack of documents, placed them on Chen Fang's desk.

She said, "Section Chief Liu asked me to look after you a bit. Here are some internal materials from customs, including recent cases and the main work contents of the sections you'll be supervising. You can take more time to read through them when you're free. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to call me or come to see me; my office is just downstairs from yours."

"Section Chief Lin, thank you so much. I'm new here and quite clueless about where to begin,"

Chen Fang said.

Lin Shujie covered her mouth and chuckled.

She was captivating.

She said, "Our customs work is neither too difficult nor too simple. You don't need to worry, Section Chief Chen. It won't take long for you to get the hang of it."

"Alright, thank you, Section Chief Lin."

Lin Shujie glanced at her watch.

She said, "It's almost lunchtime. Would you care to join me for a meal, Section Chief Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang waved his hands and replied, "No need, Section Chief Lin. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days; I have some things to take care of during lunch today."

"Oh, alright then, we can arrange it for another time."

After speaking,

Lin Shujie left with an unfettered grace.

Chen Fang looked at the time; it was already half-past eleven.

He quickly gathered his things and then left the customs building.

He had just taken a taxi when,

From a window on the top floor, a man and a woman left the window and sat back down on the couch.

The man was none other than Liu Jiayang.

And the woman was Lin Shujie, who had just come from Chen Fang's office.

"What do you think of this person?"

Liu Jiayang squinted his eyes and asked.

Lin Shujie pondered for a moment, then said, "It's too early to say. He speaks and acts with a completeness that belies his age, but regardless, he's not one of us. Proceed as planned this evening."

Liu Jiayang nodded and replied, "Everything has been arranged; we're just waiting for Chen Fang to walk into it..."

A sly smile appeared on Lin Shujie's lips.

She said, "Once it's done, the higher-ups won't let you down."

This statement filled Liu Jiayang's eyes with anticipation.

Turning back to Chen Fang's perspective,

He disembarked the taxi at Wen'an City's largest business square—Jinbao Square.

He took the elevator up to the fourth floor,

And then found a restaurant named "Taste Pavilion Restaurant."

"How many, sir?"

As he hesitated briefly,

A welcome hostess approached and inquired.

Chen Fang was about to reply,

When he heard a familiar voice say, "Xiaolu, it's my guest."

The hostess nodded with a small smile and left.

Following that,

A woman in a qipao appeared before Chen Fang.

The qipao was form-fitting,

Clinging closely to the woman's body,

Fully outlining her seductive curves.

At the slit of the qipao,

Her fair and slender legs were partially visible, causing Chen Fang's heart to stir.

"Sister Fei, it's my first time seeing you dressed like this, you look beautiful."

Chen Fang expressed his admiration.

The woman in front of him was none other than Mo Zifei.

Mo Zifei smiled sweetly and replied, "You always know just what to say."

"I'm not just flattering; I'm telling the truth. Look around the restaurant at the male customers—I bet half of them are here just for you,"

Chen Fang said.

Mo Zifei playfully scolded, "Stop your smooth talk, come on in with me."
