"Oh no, big sister wet the bed."

Early the next morning.

Hua Limo had just gotten out of bed.

Qiqi, who was playing nearby, pointed at the bedsheet and shouted loudly.

Hua Limo turned around and her entire face immediately flushed red.

The spot where her buttocks had been was indeed soaked through a wide area.

Moreover, the area covered was not any less than that of a bed-wetting incident.

This clearly indicated just how much she had sweated.

Just as she was awkwardly at a loss for words with Chen Fang, Jiang Yu said, "Qiqi, don't talk nonsense, last night big sister cat had a fever and sweated a lot."

"Oh? Big sister cat, were you feverish?"

Qiqi came up to Hua Limo with concern and asked.

Hua Limo crouched down, still blushing.

She said, "It's okay, your brother Fang knows medical skills, and after his special treatment, my fever is already gone."

"Brother Fang is so awesome, I want to learn how to treat fevers like brother Fang when I grow up."

Qiqi said with a cheer.

Chen Fang was so embarrassed.

He could only give a forced laugh to brush it off.

At nine in the morning, Chen Fang asked Hua Limo and Jiang Yu to take the two children to settle down in Guyang City first.

He then headed to the Wulan City Organization Department compound.

Two impressive sixteen-story buildings towered into the clouds, connected by a glass corridor in between.

Used for the first time a few years ago was Wulan City's new municipal government office building, which had a very pleasant official name: "Heart-to-Heart Building."

After the security had checked his identity, they let him through.

This was because he had called the Organization Department office in advance.

So when he arrived at the eighth-floor office area of the City Organization Department, Secretary of the Municipal Organization Department Zheng Jiaxian was already waiting for him.

After a very standard procedure of assuming office conversation,

At ten o'clock.

The Organization Department arranged for the executive deputy secretary Liu Mingkai to escort Chen Fang to his new position in Guyang City.

Waiting downstairs from nine fifty until about ten twenty, Liu Mingkai still hadn't arrived.

Chen Fang was getting anxious.

He asked the driver sitting in the car, "Excuse me, is there a problem with Secretary Liu?"

Unexpectedly, a driver from the drivers' team actually gave Chen Fang a disdainful look and said, "You haven't made the proper arrangements, naturally, Secretary Liu won't come."

"Proper arrangements? What arrangements?"

Chen Fang asked, confused.

The driver asked in an indifferent tone, "Secretary Chen, didn't anyone teach you before you came to Wulan City to take up your position?"

"No one told me there were any arrangements to be made."

Chen Fang said, clueless.

The driver leisurely lit a cigarette and said, "Secretary Chen, I might as well tell you, each place has its own rules. Here in Jiangdong Province, we're a developed province, not like your poor Yong'an Province. Everyone is busy, nobody has time to waste accompanying you on this trip. You get my meaning, right?"

"Are you saying that I haven't prepared a gift?"

Chen Fang suddenly saw the light.

Exhaling a ring of smoke, the driver said, "Right, this is an economic society after all; when the higher-ups always stress economic priority, those below must comply, right?"

Using the phrase "economic priority" as a pretext for extortion opened Chen Fang's eyes.

He paused, then asked, "What kind of gift should I prepare?"

"That's up to you, Secretary Chen. For someone as busy as Secretary Liu, you should start with at least five thousand, but I'm easier to please. If you appreciate your humble servant here, buying a couple of packs of Huazi cigarettes would be enough for me," the driver said.

"I have to give you a gift too?"

Chen Fang asked.

The driver chuckled and said, "We drivers work hard too, right? Leaders have a lot on their plate, and we help carry these gifts. Besides, a little gift now, and once you're in position, you'll earn it back with ease, won't you?"

"So if I don't give this gift today, does that mean Secretary Liu won't be coming over?"

Chen Fang asked.

The driver, full of bluster, said, "Look at how Secretary Chen is talking. What do you mean Secretary Liu isn't coming? He's the Executive Deputy Secretary of the City Organization Department, with a heavy workload. It's perfectly normal for it to be delayed by three or five days, isn't it?"

His words carried a threat, clear and simple.

"But Secretary Zheng said that he would send me to my post today, didn't he?"

Chen Fang finished speaking.

The driver then crossed his arms, laid back in his seat, and said nonchalantly, "Then you should go find Secretary Zheng, see if he's free to take you."

This was the situation.

Chen Fang finally understood.

The reason they hadn't departed yet

Was because his "expression" of gratitude hadn't been made adequately.

And for someone like Liu Mingkai, they would never accept a bribe themselves but let the driver take it on their behalf.

If something were to happen,

It would have nothing to do with them.

Under normal circumstances,

Chen Fang truly wouldn't mind paying this few thousand yuan.

With his capabilities, let alone five thousand, even five hundred thousand wouldn't be too much of a big deal.

But now, he had decided not to pay.

There was nothing he disliked that he could be forced to do.

He had just retrieved his bag from the trunk of the car.

Seeing his actions, the driver asked, "Secretary Chen, what are you doing?"

"Since Secretary Liu is busy, I'll just take a taxi by myself, there's no need to trouble you."

Chen Fang said.

A look of contempt flashed across the driver's face.

He said, "Secretary Chen, are you sure you've thought this through? The appointment letter is in Secretary Liu's hands. If you go like this, do you think you can take office smoothly?"

Chen Fang smiled.

"It's okay, there's no rush to take office in a day or two, right? If worst comes to worst, I'll just go have a good look around Guyang City first."

After dropping that line,

Chen Fang walked away.

It was rare to see someone like him.

The driver became frantic.

He went back to the car and quickly dialed Liu Mingkai's number.

Inside the office, Liu Mingkai answered the call and asked, "How did it go? Is it done?"

"Secretary Liu, this guy is tough. I explained the rules to him clearly, but he just picked up his bag and left, and even said if he can't take office, he would just have a good tour of Guyang City."

The driver said, a bit irritated.

Liu Mingkai was taken aback and muttered, "Oh, he's got quite the temper."

"Secretary Liu, what should we do next?"

The driver asked.

Liu Mingkai sneered and said, "Still too young, thinking he's so full of character. Don't worry, if he's too sharp-edged, we can grind him down. When the time comes, he'll come to his senses. Just drive the car back for now, and if anything happens, I'll handle it."

"Alright."

After the driver hung up the phone,

Liu Ming stood up and walked to the window.

He watched as the car slowly turned around and drove into the garage.

He muttered, "Well played, Chen Fang. I want to see if you'll come back looking for me... "

When Liu Mingkai said this, he was confident.

Being the Executive Deputy Secretary of the Organization Department, nobody knew Chen Fang's background better than him—a deputy department-level official transferred from another province with no backing at all, and yet he dared to be so naive. Even if he personally took him down a peg, what then?

Had Chen Fang really left?

Of course not.

He also knew that even if he went to Guyang City first, without the appointment letter, he couldn't take office smoothly.
