The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 368: A Change of Color Upon Hearing


Yu Zhengchuan, looking completely shameless, said, "Whoever questions must provide the evidence. How can you prove these tea eggs weren't boiled in top-notch black tea?"

"Then you should have told me earlier that these tea eggs were so expensive, and I wouldn't have eaten them."

"You didn't ask."

At that moment, Chen Fang really wanted to shove the tea egg directly down his throat.

He nodded and said, "This is the last time you trick me. If there's a next time, I'll take your surname."

Having said that,

Chen Fang pulled out a fifty-yuan banknote and slapped it into his hand.

Yu Zhengchuan pinched it between his fingers.

Incredibly, he even checked its authenticity against the sunlight.

Satisfied, he pocketed it.

He said, "Alright, I'm off. Oh, by the way, a woman has been asking about your address downstairs."

Chen Fang's eyes widened as he looked at Yu Zhengchuan and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask,"

said Yu Zhengchuan.

Chen Fang suddenly grabbed the soy milk.

Seeing this, Yu Zhengchuan swiftly dodged and fled out the door.

At that moment, the soy milk flew out, striking another person precisely.

A woman, who had just appeared at the door, hadn't even reacted before she was drenched from head to toe with a cup of soy milk.

The person was none other than Ye Xiao'e.

Yu Zhengchuan knew he had caused trouble.

Pointing at Chen Fang at the door, he said, "Beauty, he did it. If you need someone, talk to him, it's not my fault."

"Yu Zhengchuan..."

Chen Fang roared.

He had already run out of sight.

"Miss Ye, I am really sorry. I was aiming at him..."

Chen Fang said somewhat incoherently.

At that moment, Ye Xiao'e was covered in soy milk from her hair to her clothes.

Chen Fang quickly welcomed her in and started wiping her down with a bunch of tissues.

After a long hustle,

it was still sticky.

Ye Xiao'e said, "Where's the bathroom? I'll take a shower."

Chen Fang guiltily pointed it out with his finger.

Ye Xiao'e then entered the bathroom.

The sound of running water started.

About five minutes later, only to hear the bathroom door creak open, and Ye Xiao'e's voice rang out, "Chen Fang, I have no clothes to change into. Could you lend me one of your shirts?"

My shirt?

Chen Fang quickly ran into the bedroom.

After searching for a while, he found only a loose T-shirt he usually wore to sleep.

He came to the bathroom door, knocked, and as it opened a crack, Chen Fang stuffed the T-shirt through.

Another minute passed.

Ye Xiao'e, soaking wet, emerged wearing the large T-shirt, her feet bare.

Perhaps because there was no towel,

Ye Xiao'e had not dried off after her shower.

This caused part of the T-shirt to cling to her chest.

The shapes of her ample bust were completely outlined.

Below the large T-shirt, two long, fair, straight legs swayed enticingly.

"Miss Ye, I am terribly sorry. It was not intentional."

Chen Fang said with a remorseful expression.

Ye Xiao'e chuckled, "That's okay. You've apologized several times now. If you apologize again, I'm going to feel embarrassed. I actually came here today to thank you."

"Thank me? For what?"

Chen Fang asked with wide eyes.

Ye Xiao'e waved her hand, "Don't pretend, the transfer order has been issued, and I've already heard the news."

"Transfer order? What transfer order?"

Chen Fang asked.

Ye Xiao'e frowned slightly, "Lv Yifeng's transfer order, of course. It was issued this morning. Are you saying it isn't related to you? You just arrived yesterday, and today the order came down. How else could he suddenly get transferred?"

"Lv Yifeng got transferred?"

This news indeed shocked Chen Fang.

It was known that Lv Yifeng's term had not yet ended.

Throughout this process, Lv Yifeng had made no mistakes.

Even in terms of power, he had come to equal footing with the top leader, Song Yiqiang.

From any perspective, it was highly unlikely for Lv Yifeng to be transferred out.

Yet, he was indeed transferred out.

And it was done without any prior indication.

Ye Xiao'e sighed deeply and said, "It seems it was not because of you, but no matter, I can finally escape from this misery."

As she spoke these words, Ye Xiao'e's expression was filled with emotion.

Chen Fang paused and asked, "Who is the most likely to take over his position in our city if Lv Yifeng has been transferred out?"

Without thinking, Ye Xiao'e replied, "That would naturally be Deputy Secretary Wu Qinglan."

"Why?"

"It's quite simple, Secretary Wu is the third-ranking official. By order of succession, it would be her turn. The only one competing with her would naturally be Deputy Mayor Ge Weijun, but he isn't capable; there's no way he could take over."

As soon as she said this,

Ye Xiao'e noticed the confusion in Chen Fang's eyes.

She smiled and said, "You haven't spent much time in the city government, so you aren't very familiar with the situation here. This Deputy Mayor Ge is a straightforward man with no substantial backing. He earned his position today through hard work. When he was promoted to Deputy Mayor, it was because those above appreciated his abilities. In today's society, everyone knows that abilities can get you up to a certain level, but beyond that, ability alone won't do the trick."

Ye Xiao'e had dealt with government officials for years.

Combined with her sharp insight,

she probably understood the intrigues of Wen'an City's bureaucracy better than Xu Lianyun and the others.

Thinking this,

Chen Fang asked, "By the way, Miss Ye, have you heard of Zuo Jiadong?"

What does it mean to be terrifying upon mention?

It was now.

Hearing this name,

Ye Xiao'e's expression changed.

From calm to tense, she asked, "Have you provoked him?"

Chen Fang waved his hands and said, "I just met him last night, so I wouldn't say I provoked him."

Upon hearing this,

Ye Xiao's quickly sighed with relief and said, "It's good you haven't provoked him. That guy is a real devil. Better to keep your distance if you see him again."

"But what kind of person is he, really?"

Ye Xiao'e pondered for a moment before answering, "Well, he technically isn't from Wen'an City. He came from Licheng City not too long ago, about half a year, I guess. But in just half a year, he has managed to establish very good relations with many in the city. I haven't met him personally, but I heard that this guy is quite ruthless and certainly has a significant background."

This so-called Sky Pillar Group

was also established by Zuo Jiadong during this half-year period since he arrived in Wen'an City.

It is said that the company is involved in many businesses, mainly various agency sales such as electronic products, refined oil, vegetable oil, and all sorts of other products.

Since it's all hearsay,

Ye Xiao'e naturally didn't know the details of his relationship with Xu Tingsong either.

"Anyway, I'm in a good mood today. You really are something, having guests and not planning to make some tea?"

Ye Xiao'e sat down on the sofa and asked.

Chen Fang shivered.

He quickly came to his senses,

and said, "Oh, I'll make it right now."

Fumbling to prepare the water, Chen Fang sat across from her.

Looking up unintentionally,

a thrilling scene unfolded.

You should know, Ye Xiao'e was only wearing a T-shirt.

As soon as she sat down, the T-shirt stretched out.

It was long enough to cover her lower body, but the stretching caused the shirt to pull up, and one would assume that at least she'd be wearing underwear underneath.

But unexpectedly, it was bare.

The Mysterious Land between her legs, dimly visible, was exposed to his view.

Ye Xiao'e seemed to notice Chen Fang's unusual gaze,

and looked down.

She quickly adjusted her sitting posture,

and crossed her legs directly.

The triangle area was covered,

but a sizable portion of her bare backside was still exposed.

Especially when she reached over to take the tea cup from Chen Fang's hand, leaning forward, her clothing was stretched to her waist, exposing even more of her lower body.
