"A buzzkill? That's simply not possible. With so many people here, I, Chen Fang, naturally can't be a killjoy. It's just that having Director Ma perform solo seems a bit bland. If we could spice up the act a bit, wouldn't that be more fun?"

After Chen Fang finished speaking, Guo Ruiliang grew interested too.

He asked, "How do you spice it up?"

"How about we watch a show, Zhu Bajie battling the barks-at-heaven dog? Since Director Ma is good at playing a dog, let him take the role of the barks-at-heaven dog, but for Zhu Bajie..."

Chen Fang trailed off, seemingly hesitant to continue.

But his gaze landed on the plump Guo Ruiliang.

Everyone else did the same.

When Zhu Bajie was mentioned, an image naturally flashed through everyone's mind, and that person was none other than Guo Ruiliang.

Guo Ruiliang caught on as well.

He scowled.

He scolded, "Secretary Chen, what are you implying? Are you mocking me for being fat?"

"Look at you, Director Guo, how imaginative you are! I never said that. Besides, it's not just me who thinks so; everyone agrees that you're the most suitable to play Zhu Bajie."

"Chen Fang, don't go too far."

Attacking someone's face is taboo, and so is exposing their shortcomings.

Chen Fang was clearly doing the latter.

Guo Ruiliang grew angry too.

Chen Fang snickered and said, "What's this, Director Guo? Everyone is having such a good time, aren't you being a buzzkill now?"

That sentence.

Was just what Guo Ruiliang had said earlier.

Now it was being used by Chen Fang against Guo Ruiliang.

In an instant, the tables turned.

Now it was Guo Ruiliang's turn to feel awkward.

If he agreed, he'd be admitting he was a pig.

If he didn't, then his attempt to humiliate Chen Fang would naturally be swept under the rug.

It would also signify that his first clash with Chen Fang had ended in his utter defeat.

Unable to swallow his pride,

Guo Ruiliang was about to turn hostile outright.

At that moment, someone shouted, "County Magistrate Jiang has arrived."

Everyone quickly looked toward the doorway.

Jiang Tuo was seen strolling back in with his hands clasped behind his back, nonchalantly.

The main character returned to "save the day": "Eh, what's happening here? Weren't we drinking? Why has it stopped?"

That sentence.

Served as a hint.

Disciplinary Committee Secretary Zhou Feng immediately called out, "Let's keep drinking, everybody, continue drinking..."

Everyone caught the signal.

Once again, toasts were made and drinks flowed.

The awkward atmosphere dissolved in an instant.

Jiang Tuo shot Guo Ruiliang a stern look.

Then, with a smile on his face, he approached Chen Fang and said, "Secretary Chen, there's been a bit of an issue at the county office, I need to go back and handle it right away..."

"County Magistrate Jiang, do you need my help?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Tuo quickly waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Secretary Chen, you've just arrived today, you should rest for a bit first. Let Director Ma give you a ride back to your lodging later. Comrade Ruiliang, Comrade Zhou Feng, would you accompany me for a moment?"

Guo Ruiliang and Zhou Feng both stood up.

Zhou Feng said goodbye to Chen Fang before leaving.

As for Guo Ruiliang,

having been outfoxed by Chen Fang and nursing a bellyful of grievances, he left in a huff.

The lively atmosphere remained.

County Deputy Secretary Zhang Shihua, although sitting right next to Chen Fang,

had remained quiet mostly due to gender considerations.

Now that the seat to Chen Fang's left was officially vacant,

As the third in command, she felt obliged to make a gesture.

Raising a glass of wine, she brought it over to Chen Fang, saying, "Secretary Chen, I'm not much of a drinker, so I'll just have one with you as a token, if you don't mind?"

"What are you talking about? Do as you please, Secretary Zhang. I'll drink up."

With a tilt of his head,

Chen Fang downed the wine.

As Zhang Shihua lifted her cup,

Chen Fang noticed that her hands were trembling slightly.

And she barely had any drinks.

Yet her face was already a bright shade of red.

"Secretary Zhang, if you're feeling unwell, you should go back and rest earlier."

Chen Fang whispered into her ear after noticing this abnormality.

Zhang Shihua's face suddenly turned even redder.

A crimson tide overflowed, spreading from her face down to her neck.

She waved her hands and said, "No... no... I'm not... not feeling unwell."

At that moment, even her voice was trembling as she spoke.

"Secretary Zhang, I've learned a bit of traditional Chinese medicine. Do you want me to take your pulse?"

Chen Fang continued to ask.

Zhang Shihua waved her hands again and again, saying, "I'm fine... really, I'm fine, Secretary Chen, I truly don't have any problems..."

With repeated refusals,

Chen Fang felt too embarrassed to keep asking.

Just then,

Zhang Shihua suddenly let out a whimper.

And leaned over the table.

Chen Fang noticed that her body was uncontrollably shaking.

Fearing something might happen,

Chen Fang didn't care anymore.

He reached under the table and, regardless of her consent, took hold of her pulse.

In that instant, Zhang Shihua shuddered.

She tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't muster the strength.

It was probably only for about thirty seconds.

Chen Fang let go of her hand.

Zhang Shihua sat up again, and probably fearing that Chen Fang would notice something, she said, "Maybe it's because the air conditioning is too hot, it's noisy in here. Secretary Chen, I really don't have any problems."

Chen Fang picked up his chopsticks.

He took a bite of his food.

Gave a slight smile,

And said, "Secretary Zhang, it's okay. If you really feel unwell, you may go back and rest earlier. I won't mind."

"No no no, Secretary Chen, I'm really fine."

Zhang Shihua waved her hands again as she spoke.

Seeing her stubbornness,

Yet her body still trembling slightly,

Chen Fang leaned closer to her ear and said in a low voice, "Secretary Zhang, let me speak frankly. The power of this toy is quite strong, your pulse tells me that you're about to lose control. After all, this is a public place, if you pass out here, it would indeed be quite unsightly, right?"

As soon as these words came out,

Zhang Shihua's face turned red to her earlobes.

Incredible.

Had Chen Fang actually discerned something from her pulse?

Indeed,

Nestled between her legs, in that small space, was indeed a toy.

A toy with an extremely vigorous vibration.

And it was the stimulation below that was making her almost unable to hold on.

Chen Fang was not wrong.

In just under an hour,

The area below her waist was like a flooding river, completely out of control.

Some sticky liquid had already begun to drip down her thighs.

Her consciousness was blurring, teetering on the verge of fainting.

"Thank... thank you, Secretary Chen, I... I'll go now."

Zhang Shihua forced her body to stand up.

In that moment, Chen Fang could clearly sense her delirium.

She seemed to no longer have the strength to walk.

Zhang Shihua sat down again, panting and said, "I... I can't walk..."

"Then you can take it out, you'll feel better after a while,"

Chen Fang said softly.

Zhang Shihua looked at Chen Fang, shook her head with a helpless look in her eyes, and said, "I... I can't take it out, I... don't have the key... I must... must wait until the battery runs out before it... stops..."
