"Tomorrow morning, I'll have my secretary deliver the report to Secretary Ren's office."

Unspoken yet understood.

Chen Fang did not mention a word about Shen Shanghu's matter.

Upon hearing this, Ren Yiweng's smile grew even brighter as he said, "Then let me replace wine with tea, and thank Minister Chen."

Chen Fang clinked glasses with Ren Yiweng.

He said, "By the way, Secretary Ren, if I do you a favor, could you do me one in return?"

The smile on Ren Yiweng's face instantly stiffened.

He hadn't expected Chen Fang to start making requests so soon.

It seemed he wasn't someone with much patience.

Setting down his teacup, he nodded slightly and spoke seriously, "Please speak, Minister Chen."

"I heard that your son studied civil engineering. I have a friend in Yong'an Province who is in real estate. He just opened a branch in Guyang City and asked me to find a civil engineer to be the director of property project planning. As you know, I've only just arrived and am completely new here, so I thought maybe your son could give us a hand."

Ren Yiweng was completely stunned after hearing this.

His son, Ren Min, had indeed graduated with a degree in civil engineering.

But he hadn't found any satisfactory job so far.

Chen Fang's so-called favor was actually a huge help for him instead.

Moreover, the job being offered was a director position, which genuinely surprised Ren Yiweng.

"Secretary Ren, as long as you are willing to help me with this, we will definitely not be stingy with the salary. The annual salary will be three hundred thousand. If that's not enough, I can still negotiate," said Chen Fang, quickly observing the subtle changes in his expression.

Three hundred thousand.

That was already quite a high figure.

Ren Yiweng had nothing to be dissatisfied about.

Moreover, Chen Fang's way of talking was very sophisticated.

He didn't directly say that he had found a job for Ren Min, instead he framed it as if granting him a favor, thereby relieving Ren Yiweng of any burden. Besides, the undertone of the conversation also conveyed that by agreeing, the favor Ren Yiweng owed would be effectively settled.

After all, I, Ren Yiweng, was also "helping your favor," wasn't I?

"Minister Chen, look at what you're saying. What do you mean by helping or not helping? Just give me the company's details, and I'll ask my son about it. Even if he doesn't want to go, I'll drag him there by his ears," Ren Yiweng said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fang showed a delighted expression, raised his teacup, and said, "Then it's settled, Secretary Ren. I'll also replace wine with tea, thank you..."

With such an "interaction".

The conversation that followed between the two of them became much more open-hearted.

Coming out of the teahouse.

Chen Fang got back into his car, thrilled by how well things had gone with Ren Yiweng.

"Ah Fang, was it really necessary to offer Ren Yiweng's son a job?" Yu Zhengchuan asked.

Chen Fang smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I just feel that this kind of relationship isn't very solid, after all, it's just a job." Yu Zhengchuan said.

Chen Fang laughed and said, "I didn't get his son a job at the Tiancheng Group branch to solidify our relationship but to tie Ren Yiweng to the chariot of Tiancheng Group."

"What do you mean?"

"With the Economic Development Zone being established, it will inevitably attract a large number of real estate companies from across the country into Guyang City. I call this taking the initiative. Once his son develops a career at Tiancheng Group, he will naturally feel compelled to protect the interests of Tiancheng Group. When the time for the bids in the Economic Development Zone comes, don't you think he'll lend a hand?" Chen Fang asked.

At this moment,

Yu Zhengchuan suddenly realized the depth of the plan.

Shaking his head, he said, "I feel that the political arena is still not for me; your minds are too shrewd, always with an agenda behind every turn and twist."

Chen Fang patted Yu Zhengchuan on the shoulder.

Sighing deeply, he said, "Being in the political field, it's a necessity."

The next morning.

As soon as Chen Fang walked into the municipal committee compound,

he saw a Rolls-Royce parked in the courtyard.

After all, such a car is a rarity.

The municipal party compound was not a place for parking either.

Chen Fang couldn't help but take an extra glance.

Just as he reached the doorway, he saw the elevator doors in the lobby open.

Xu Jianfeng walked out nodding and bowing, saying to a woman inside, "Miss Tang, please."

At that moment, Chen Fang was momentarily stunned.

He quickly dodged behind a column.

The woman coming with Xu Jianfeng was none other than the beautiful young wife he had seen in the hotel lobby the night before.

Different from yesterday, she had changed her clothes and redone her hairstyle, presenting herself as quite elegant and luxurious.

It must be said, though she was forty years old, she still had an air of allure and charm.

"Secretary Xu, I'm entrusting you with my daughter's matter,"

the beautiful woman said expressionlessly.

Xu Jianfeng kept nodding and bowing as if overwhelmingly flattered, "Miss Tang, please don't mention it, it's my duty after all. It's a great honor that you have come to me. Rest assured, as soon as your loved one is found, I will notify you immediately."

After receiving this response,

the beautiful woman didn't even say thank you but swayed her hips and entered the Rolls Royce parked in the courtyard, while Xu Jianfeng ran along, escorting her all the way out to the courtyard until the Rolls Royce disappeared at the gate as he continued waving his hand.

Just who was this beautiful woman?

Why did she make Xu Jianfeng so incredibly subservient, more so than even Zhao Yiping would have?

As he contemplated this,

Xu Jianfeng had already returned.

Standing not far from Chen Fang, he waved to his secretary Yao Wu in the distance.

Yao Wu ran over and asked, "Leader, what's the matter?"

"Call Chen Bao and tell him to come to my office immediately."

"Okay."

Just as Yao Wu was about to turn around,

Xu Jianfeng seemed to suddenly remember something and said to him, "The matter of Miss Tang's visit today is not to be known by anyone, especially Xue Bo and Meng Zheqing, do you hear?"

Yao Wu nodded and replied, "Yes, leader, I will keep it confidential."

After saying that, he hurried off.

Xu Jianfeng also got into the elevator, disappearing into the lobby.

What was going on?

Why couldn't Xue Bo and Meng Zheqing know about it?

Could there be some ulterior motive?

Despite his curiosity, Chen Fang didn't take it too seriously, as it had nothing to do with him.

After the incident with Ding Jianmu,

there was a period of calm among the leaders of Guyang City.

Everything was as cordial as before on the surface.

However, beneath that cordiality, turmoil was brewing.

During this time, Chen Fang worked normally during the day and visited Xiaoxue in the hotel in the evenings after work.

Three days later,

Xiaoxue had mostly recovered.

Having nowhere to go,

Chen Fang had Xiaoyu bring her out of the hotel and temporarily settled her at Xiaoyu's place.

Of course, before leaving the hotel, Chen Fang inspected Xiaoxue's personal belongings and found a tracking device inside her expensive watch.

No wonder Xiaoxue's stepmother could find her; that was the reason.

Fortunately, the tracking device was not very precise; otherwise, Xiaoxue would have already been taken away.

A few days later,

Fang Mei, who had been monitoring Ma Cheng, brought news.

Ma Cheng had lost all his money in an underground casino in Guyang City and had accrued a significant amount of debt.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Fang immediately called Ling Li and said just a few short words, "The plan can start now."
