If we keep standing in the sun like this,

who knows what might happen next.

If something really happened, even Li Yuting wouldn't be able to save face.

Sure enough, as a vice governor, his reaction was quick, and he feigned concern, saying to Dou Qingquan, "Comrade Qingquan, let's go in and have a look as well."

Upon hearing this, Dou Qingquan understood and hurriedly said, "Governor Li truly cares for his subordinates, a good leader indeed. Let's all go in and have a look."

In the cool lobby, Chen Fang had undone the collar of the senior comrade, while Pei Shanglian hastily brought over mineral water and herbal medicine, and poured it down his throat all at once.

By the time Li Yuting and his entourage arrived,

the senior comrade had already opened his eyes and sat up.

"Comrade, how are you feeling?"

Li Yuting pretended to be concerned and crouched down to ask.

Seeing the vice governor himself crouching down, the senior comrade was flattered and tried to stand up but was pressed down by Li Yuting, who said, "Rest a bit more, it's okay, just sit. Comrade Qingquan, have someone bring over a chair."

Dou Qingquan hadn't had the chance to reply yet,

when Ou Jian scurried out.

In no time, a chair was brought over.

Li Yuting personally helped the comrade to stand up and sit on the chair, and even took a folder from his secretary's hands to thoughtfully fan him.

You should know, this was an air-conditioned room.

Very cool.

Fanning was an entirely superfluous gesture.

However, the accompanying journalists immediately pressed their shutters upon seeing this.

If nothing unexpected happened, Li Yuting's image of caring for his subordinates was going to hit the front pages of certain media outlets once again.

What was originally an act criticized by many had, with a quick turn, become political capital for him to boost his image.

You have to admit, these people are skilled.

After this little episode,

Li Yuting sent someone to take the senior comrade to the hospital for a detailed examination, and repeatedly told him to rest for a few days to recover properly.

This thoughtful gesture won a round of applause from everyone.

Chen Fang and Pei Shanglian were squeezed out of the crowd. They were the ones who had acted and saved the person, but now it had become Li Yuting's "home turf."

Watching these people's pretenses,

Chen Fang wasn't surprised.

After all, being in the bureaucracy, he had seen too many such scenes.

After the senior comrade was taken away,

Dou Qingquan hurriedly said, "Governor Li, since it's almost time for lunch, how about we have a quick meal first and then organize a meeting for everyone?"

Li Yuting glared at Dou Qingquan and waved his hand, saying, "There's no rush, no rush. We are here to conduct research, not to eat. Let's do this instead, let's go check out the Economic Development Zone first."

"I'll arrange it right away,"

Dou Qingquan said.

Just as they were about to leave, Li Yuting seemed to have remembered something and turned to glance at Chen Fang, saying, "Comrade Qingquan, it's quite hot outside, so those who can't stand the heat don't need to go."

Clearly, he was referring to Chen Fang.

Dou Qingquan nodded and said loudly, "Comrade Chen Fang, there's no need for you to follow. Stay here and beat the heat. Everyone else, accompany Governor Li to the Economic Development Zone for the inspection."

At this command,

everyone sprang into action.

As they were leaving, they all gave Chen Fang a meaningful look.

At this moment, Chen Fang was marginalized once again.

And this marginalization was personally created by a vice-governor.

"Ha-ha, what arrogance from favoritism, Chen Fang, oh Chen Fang, you don't really think that after establishing such great achievements, you could do whatever you wish, do you? Let me tell you from the position of someone who has been there, someone like you will not accomplish anything great. Even if you win temporarily, it's merely by luck. Just wait, you have much more to suffer,"

Suddenly, Dou Qingquan's voice rang in his ears.

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "Then I thank Mayor Dou for his friendly reminder."

Seeing that Chen Fang still appeared indifferent.

Dou sneered a bit and said, "Don't be smug, people like you won't last long in the officialdom; sooner or later, you will pay the price."

As soon as these words fell.

Li Yuting's voice could be heard from the front, shouting, "Comrade Qingquan, what are you doing? Hurry up."

Upon hearing this, Dou Qingquan immediately called out, "Right away, Governor Li, I'm coming."

Having said that.

He glared at Chen Fang and quickly followed.

The research team wandered around the Economic Development Zone for nearly half an hour.

When they returned to the City Committee compound, it was almost 12 o'clock.

Everyone's stomach was growling with hunger.

It was expected that Li Yuting would arrange for a meal at this point, but instead, as soon as he got off the car, he instructed Dou Qingquan to start a meeting.

Around 12:20 p.m.

The main members of the four sets of leadership who had been busy all morning gathered in the City Committee's auditorium.

A grand meeting started without delay.

Dou Qingquan personally chaired the meeting.

He began with some uninspired opening remarks and then, amid a round of hearty applause, invited Li Yuting to address the leadership team of Guyang City.

Although everyone was exhausted.

They still showed great enthusiasm.

After setting up the stage, Li Yuting first acknowledged the achievements of the Guyang City Economic Development Zone in attracting investments and also praised the spirit and demeanor of the Guyang City leadership team.

After talking at length for twenty minutes.

He shifted his tone and said, "Although the achievements of Guyang City are outstanding, there are still deficiencies within these outstanding achievements. Some cadres need to improve their leadership qualities, and their work needs urgent progression. These are the weak links, and after returning to the province, I will report these issues to the Provincial Committee and make further arrangements regarding these problems."

As soon as these words were spoken.

All eyes fell on Chen Fang.

Now Chen Fang sensed what was happening.

It was clear that the meeting was being used as an opportunity to suppress him and to create a stark divide between himself and others.

The clever ones could hear it.

This was a sign that Li Yuting was going to deal with Chen Fang.

It was also a message to everyone, that if you were close to Chen Fang, you were opposing the vice-governor; it was clear to any fool which side was more important.

When Dou Qingquan heard these words.

His heart swelled with joy.

His face had lost all prestige due to a lost bet before, but he did not expect today's inspection to yield unexpected gains.

Such an opportunity, if not well seized, who knows when it might come again.

He cleared his throat and said, "Governor Li, it's poor management on my part as the mayor. However, some comrades, thinking they have achieved great success, have totally disregarded me as mayor. This situation has indeed put me in a difficult position."

Li Yuting nodded and replied, "During today's visit to Guyang City, I have witnessed these issues myself. Comrade Qingquan, rest assured, such people will not be given important positions by the province no matter their achievements. This I can guarantee to you."
