Pretending to be exhausted.

Knocked on his head with his hand.

Said, "I've indeed been too busy with work lately, accidentally fell asleep."

Then.

He glanced at Chen Fang and said, "Comrade Chen Fang, I have some matters to consult with you today."

"Mayor Zhou, please go ahead."

Chen Fang politely responded.

Zhou Nongxin nodded.

Said, "The special campaign against gang crime in Guanghe County has now come to an end. You have put in a lot of effort, and the leaders above sing your praises. They intend to let you work in the city. What do you think?"

As expected, it was indeed this matter.

Chen Fang tentatively asked, "Mayor Zhou, I don't know the specific position."

Zhou Nongxin smiled slightly.

Said, "Deputy Mayor Zheng Qifan is about to be moved. His position will soon be vacant. The higher-ups want you to fill it. How about it? Do you have confidence?"

As the County Party Secretary of Guanghe County.

He was naturally familiar with the leadership team of Xiaxiang City.

Zheng Qifan is a deputy mayor and a member of the Party group of Xiaxiang City Government.

He ranks fourth among the city's leadership team.

Although not a member of the Standing Committee, he still has significant influence in the city government.

He is mainly responsible for natural resources, housing and urban-rural development, transportation, state assets, urban management, and central city construction.

From certain perspectives.

These departments are all lucrative positions.

Moreover, it will elevate Chen Fang to the level of deputy director, which is an unprecedented progress for him.

He paused for a moment and said, "Mayor Zhou, I am really grateful for your and the higher-ups' trust. But you also know, there is still a lot of work to be done in Guanghe County, and the main leadership team is not complete. If I leave now, wouldn't it be very irresponsible?"

Zhou Nongxin smiled slightly.

Said, "Comrade Chen Fang truly cares about the people, the higher-ups have chosen the right person. How about this, as long as you agree, you can recommend your replacement. What do you think?"

"This..."

Chen Fang didn't know how to decline for a moment.

Zhou Nongxin patted him on the shoulder.

Said, "Comrade Chen Fang, don't feel any psychological burden. Today, I'm just having a chat with you. After all, the provincial transfer order hasn't come down yet. Once you go back, complete the handover of power as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you in the city government."

After he finished speaking.

Zhou Nongxin stood up.

Stretched lazily and said, "Alright, I still have a meeting soon, so I won't accompany you."

This meant seeing the guest off.

Chen Fang nodded slightly, stood up, and bid farewell to Zhou Nongxin.

Just as he reached the elevator.

Coincidentally, Zhou Nongxin's secretary also came out of the elevator.

Seeing Chen Fang, he was shocked and couldn't even greet him, rushing towards Zhou Nongxin's office.

As the elevator doors closed on Chen Fang.

He could hear Zhou Nongxin cursing loudly.

But what he was cursing about was unclear.

There was no doubt.

It was definitely about that woman.

Hearing that Chen Fang was going to be promoted to deputy mayor.

Yu Zhengchuan wasn't happy. Instead, he frowned and asked, "You haven't agreed, have you?"

Chen Fang shook his head.

Said, "No."

Yu Zhengchuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Said, "That's good. If you go to Xiaxiang City as deputy mayor, you will be even closer to Jiang Chuo. It will make it easier for him to deal with you."

Chen Fang's eyes were blurry.

Gently said, "I'm afraid my transfer to Xiaxiang City is Jiang Chuo's doing."

"What are you saying?"

Yu Zhengchuan was stunned and asked.

Chen Fang let out a long sigh and said, "Several deputy mayors below are eyeing Zheng Qifan's position. Now the province has suddenly given this important position to me, it's clearly intending to stir up conflict."

"Moreover, though Zhou Nongxin said he was here to talk to me, he actually just notified me and gave me the power to recommend Guanghe County's head to make sure I'd accept. This clearly shows they're afraid I'd refuse, so I think there's a trap in my becoming the deputy mayor of Xiaxiang City."

"But Jiang Chuo hasn't taken office yet."

Yu Zhengchuan said.

Chen Fang sneered.

Said, "He may not be here yet, but he's been appointed. It's entirely possible for him to make arrangements and adjust a deputy director-level position. Otherwise, do you really think the province highly values me?"

Back then, because he offended Hou Yuanshu.

Chen Fang was forced to Guanghe County from Wulan City.

If he were to be promoted to deputy director, it would have happened back then.

The Sun Yangqian incident was actually part of his duty as County Party Secretary, not an extraordinary achievement, and yet they used this as an excuse to promote him to deputy director. It always felt somewhat abnormal.

"So, what do you think the trap is?"

Yu Zhengchuan asked.

Chen Fang lifted his head, gently said, "They're afraid I'll learn about his assignment to Jiangdong Province and look for ways to leave, so they give me a sweet taste to keep me here. Once I'm here, Jiang Chuo will have many ways to deal with me."

Hearing Chen Fang's remarks.

Yu Zhengchuan immediately became anxious.

Said, "Now that you know, avoid confronting him. We can just give up the deputy director position and return to Yong'an Province. At least Hou Family and Jiang Chuo can't do anything to you there."

"No, I've decided. I'm staying!"

Chen Fang said firmly.

Yu Zhengchuan scratched his head.

Asked, "Are you okay? Are you out of your mind, thinking you can fight Jiang Chuo or the Hou Family?"

Chen Fang pushed his hand away.

Smiled slightly.

Said, "Alright, let's not talk about it. Did you see a woman running down just now?"

"A woman..."

Yu Zhengchuan hesitated for a moment.

Then suddenly remembered something and said, "Yes, there was a woman who ran out in a panic, got into a car, and drove off as if she were fleeing. Why? Do you know her?"

Chen Fang shook his head and said, "I don't. Alright, go to the underground parking and get the car. I'll wait for you at the entrance."

Yu Zhengchuan nodded.

Rushed to the emergency exit to get the car.

Chen Fang didn't dwell on it further.

Gently proceeded to the entrance of the City Government Building.

Just stood still.

In the distance, a white sports car suddenly sped up.

With a sharp screech, it stopped in front of Chen Fang.

The passenger door was pushed open from the inside.

Revealing the anxious and panicked face.

Chen Fang was stunned.

The driver was none other than the woman he rescued from Zhou Nongxin's office.

The woman's eyes darted around.

Shouted at Chen Fang, "Quick, get in the car..."

Chen Fang, puzzled, pointed to himself, seeming to confirm.

The woman yelled directly, "Get in the car now, there's no time left."
