Time goes back to more than an hour ago.

Just when Chen Fang and Xu Lianyun were having subtle interactions in the car.

Xiaxiang City was already making preparations for the welcome meeting.

In the office of Mayor Zhou Nongxin.

Deputy Mayor Gao Lianxi and City Government Office Secretary He Ye were drinking tea with Zhou Nongxin.

"Old Zhou, Chen Fang will be taking office soon. This guy is a troublemaker. Bringing him over to your side, isn't that asking for trouble?"

Gao Lianxi complained slightly.

He Ye also nodded.

He said, "Gao Changwu is right. After Old Sun fell, we've been at a disadvantage here, and Peng Guoliang has been pressing harder. The situation is not looking good."

The Old Sun He Ye mentioned.

Refers to the Deputy Secretary of the City Committee, Sun Zhaolun.

The political landscape in Xiaxiang City is one where the first and second leaders are in a standoff.

Neither side can gain the upper hand.

More than half a year ago.

Peng Guoliang aggressively promoted the renovation of the old urban areas of Xiaxiang City.

While Zhou Nongxin's viewpoint was to expand the main urban area outward and delay the renovation of the old urban areas.

Both wanted to focus on their political achievements, and due to different policies, it led to a huge disagreement.

It even reached the point of slamming tables and confronting each other.

At that time, Zhou Nongxin still had the support of City Committee Deputy Secretary Sun Zhaolun.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Sun Zhaolun fell.

Peng Guoliang reacted quickly.

He promptly went to the Provincial Committee to make moves.

The newly appointed City Committee Deputy Secretary Ding Jiong took office half a month ago.

And as soon as Ding Jiong took his post, he interacted frequently with Peng Guoliang, clearly siding with Peng Guoliang.

As a result.

The renovation plan for the old urban area was quickly passed.

Zhou Nongxin suffered a silent loss, feeling quite stifled inside.

When retracing all these events from the beginning.

It is related to the downfall of Sun Zhaolun.

Why did Sun Zhaolun fall?

It traces back to Chen Fang.

Therefore, Gao Lianxi and He Ye couldn't understand why Zhou Nongxin would proactively suggest to the Provincial Committee to transfer Chen Fang to Xiaxiang City as Deputy Mayor.

But Zhou Nongxin merely smiled slightly.

Raised a cup of tea.

Asked, "Did either of you consider that after my suggestion to the Provincial Committee, the proposal was quickly approved? Didn't you find it strange?"

Gao Lianxi and He Ye were taken aback.

Instantly felt as if they had overlooked the key point.

Supportive backing in the Provincial Committee for Zhou Nongxin is quite average.

Otherwise, after Sun Zhaolun fell, the position of the third leader wouldn't have been handed over so easily.

Although Chen Fang is not a standing committee member.

He is still a deputy-level cadre.

Does Zhou Nongxin have such great capability?

Or was it a quick-witted response from Gao Lianxi.

Asked, "This wasn't your idea, but the higher-ups' intention, right?"

Zhou Nongxin smiled mysteriously.

Pointed to the ceiling with his finger, and said, "It's the instruction from the one who hasn't yet arrived."

The one who hasn't yet arrived?

The one who hasn't arrived yet in the higher-ups, isn't it the governor Jiang Chuo who has already been announced but hasn't taken office yet?

Gao Lianxi shuddered.

A bit excitedly asked, "He hasn't arrived yet, but you've already connected the line, Old Zhou, well done."

"It wasn't me who made the connection, he found me. This matter was instructed by him."

"Could it be that Jiang Chuo is Chen Fang's backing?"

Gao Lianxi asked.

He Ye suddenly realized.

He said, "Jiang Chuo previously served as Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee in Yong'an Province, and Chen Fang was also transferred from Yong'an Province. The two knew each other before, it's quite likely."

"You are wrong again."

Zhou Nongxin leisurely said.

This time.

Both turned their gaze to his face.

They appeared quite puzzled.

"Jiang Chuo is not Chen Fang's backing. On the contrary, Chen Fang offended Jiang Chuo in the past. Our new Governor Jiang doesn't think highly of Chen Fang."

Zhou Nongxin said.

He Ye scratched his head.

Muttered, "If he doesn't think highly of him, why promote him?"

"You don't understand, Chen Fang was previously County Party Secretary, a city-managed cadre, and the top leader of Guanghe County. As long as he didn't make mistakes, it was hard to target him. But now it's different; as Deputy Mayor, he's a provincial-managed cadre with little power. Making things difficult for him can be done easily."

It was still Gao Lianxi who was clever.

He directly saw through the essence of the phenomenon.

Zhou Nongxin approvingly nodded.

He said, "After the Sun Yangqian incident, Guanghe County is united. Cultivating a county governor to counter Chen Fang is impossible. Bringing him to Xiaxiang City makes it easier to take care of him."

Gao Lianxi chuckled.

He said, "Old Zhou, do you mean if we handle Chen Fang, we become Governor Jiang's people?"

Zhou Nongxin smiled.

He said, "Jiang Chuo was personally promoted by the Hou Family. Coming to our Jiangdong Province this time, the goal is far more than just being a governor. If we connect this line, moving forward won't be a simple matter. So, do you understand my intentions now?"

"Understood, understood. Old Zhou, you indeed have your ways."

Gao Lianxi said.

Zhou Nongxin took a deep breath.

Looked at his watch.

He said, "Soon they'll arrive. Today, two cadres are taking office, and with Peng Guoliang absent, let's focus our energy on Xu Lianyun. As for Chen Fang, give him a setback, slap his face, and when Jiang Chuo hears about it, won't we have achieved a merit?"

The former organizational minister also fell due to the Sun Yangqian incident some time ago.

Sun Yangqian has the ability to mobilize cadres in Guanghe County.

Naturally requiring the cooperation of the organizational minister of Xiaxiang City.

This person, heavily bribed by Sun Yangqian, was also brought down.

Previously unaffiliated.

Just today, with Peng Guoliang out for research and surveys.

Zhou Nongxin's desire to secure Xu Lianyun into his system was certainly strong.

"Old Zhou, I have an idea. When Chen Fang arrives, give him a ringing slap on the face."

He Ye suddenly said.

Zhou Nongxin showed interest.

Asked, "What do you mean?"

"Today, Minister Chen Feng personally sent them down. Minister Chen Feng is the leader, and Comrade Xu Lianyun is also a City Committee member. They must be sitting in the back seat, so Chen Fang must be sitting in the front seat, right?"

Zhou Nongxin nodded.

He said, "That's right."

He Ye continued, "Today, with Peng Guoliang absent, you are the highest leader present. When the car arrives, you go and personally open the door for Minister Chen, and Old Gao, you go to open Comrade Xu Lianyun's door. Then, pretend not to see Chen Fang and ignore him, not even greeting him. In front of the four major teams, Chen Fang will lose face, right?"

"Old He, that's a good idea. Ignore him first, and it also shows our position. This way, even without us saying a word, everyone will know our attitude towards Chen Fang, and naturally, he will be isolated."

Gao Lianxi said excitedly.
