"Deputy Secretary Cong must be someone who doesn't like restraints, right?"

Chen Fang naturally noticed the change in her.

He said with a faint smile.

Cong Duo immediately understood his implication.

She deliberately crossed her legs the other way.

In the gap of switching legs,

there was a brief pause, as if she were purposely displaying her proudly esteemed lotus.

She said, "And what about it? Mayor Chen is surrounded by many beauties, I'm sure none would catch your discerning eye."

"That's a joke, Deputy Secretary Cong. The flower of Fuguang Town, who could resist? It's just that back then you had too many admirers by your side, I didn't want to give you a reputation for attracting too much attention," Chen Fang replied.

No sooner had Chen Fang finished speaking,

than Cong Duo's expression became somewhat awkward.

After all, Chen Fang hadn't been in Fuguang Town for long; it was impossible for him to know so much.

"What do you mean?"

Cong Duo became visibly alert.

Chen Fang laughed and said, "What I mean is not important. What matters is, Deputy Secretary Cong, what you initially wanted to get from me, I can provide. I won't be like some people who take what they want from you without giving you anything in return."

With a swoosh,

Cong Duo stood up.

But then she slowly sat back down.

She said, "Mayor Chen is impressive, eh? You know it all?"

"Not at all. As Deputy Secretary Cong said earlier, we both come from the city, and we're both young. It's only right that we help each other out. The waters of Fuguang Town run deep, why not seek an alternative path? Maybe you'll find it offers a vast open sky," Chen Fang suggested.

Chen Fang continued.

"What path?"

Cong Duo inquired.

Chen Fang gestured upwards with his hand,

and said, "If integration doesn't work, don't force it. In one sentence, do you want the position of township head or not? If you do, I can help you achieve that."

"Really?"

As if she had heard something very delightful,

Cong Duo abruptly stood up.

She asked tentatively, "Then what do you want?"

"I need your full support from now on, no matter what happens."

Chen Fang's words caused a flicker of emotion on Cong Duo's face.

She said, "Mayor Chen, your offer is indeed tempting, but as you mentioned earlier, the waters of Fuguang Town are deep. We small fish and shrimp can't stir up any waves. Even if I fully support you, you won't be able to win against Mr. Yuan."

Chen Fang smiled,

and sat down next to Cong Duo.

He said, "Yuan Zhenting's most capable assistant in town is undoubtedly Luo Yide. You've put so much effort into him, to no avail, wasting your charm in vain. I believe it shouldn't be that hard for you to win him over, right?"

"Chen Fang, you expect me to turn against Luo Yide with just your vague promises? Do you think that's realistic?"

Cong Duo asked sharply.

Chen Fang patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, "I, Chen Fang, may not have many strengths, but I always keep my word. You can choose to believe me or not, but I'm giving you time to think it over. It's your decision to make, I won't pressure you."

After speaking, he stood up and said, "Alright then, Deputy Secretary Cong, please make yourself comfortable."

Cong Duo looked hesitant.

She didn't know what Chen Fang was really up to.

She pondered for a while before opening the door and leaving.

As soon as she left,

a side door opened.

The director of the Township Government Office, Li Yong, emerged, asking worriedly, "Leader, do you think she will agree?"

Chen Fang replied with confidence, "She will agree. This woman is quite ambitious. She knows she's beautiful and is skilled at using her body to climb the ladder. The numerous times she's been with Luo Yide was to get into Yuan Zhenting's inner circle. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhenting isn't interested in her, which has led her to try her tactics with me. That proactive approach in the apartment is just one example."

"But on the day Xu Ming came, she joined forces with Luo Yide to attack you, didn't she?"

"Heh, that was just her way of showing goodwill towards Luo Yide. Since she couldn't benefit from my side, she had to rely on Luo Yide. Up to this point, Luo Yide has not given her a clear response. Therefore, she definitely won't refuse my terms," Chen Fang smiled assuredly.

The reason he thought so was because a woman who would trade her chastity and reputation for body in exchange for career advancement would undoubtedly see such a promise as a pie falling from the sky.

Therefore, she would definitely turn her back on Luo Yide for the sake of this promise.

After all, she was a woman who would stop at nothing for her own ambition.

"Suppose Vice Secretary Cong can deal with Luo Yide, we still have a bigger obstacle, and that's Xu Ming. Xu Ming is very cunning, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle him,"

Li Yong said.

Chen Fang chuckled and replied, "Director Li, I remember when we first met, you told me that Xu Ming was a decent person."

These words made Li Yong somewhat embarrassed.

He scratched his head and said, "That was when you had just arrived, I couldn't just say anything."

...

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Under persistent urging from her workplace, Lan Lv had no choice but to leave Fuguang Town ahead of time.

The news crew had just driven off.

Chen Fang then received a call from the Township Government Office. Xu Ming had called for all party members to attend an emergency party committee meeting.

Just as anticipated.

The reporters had left.

Yuan Zhenting couldn't wait to retaliate.

Around 3:15 pm.

The members of the Fuguang Town party committee entered the meeting room one after another.

When Chen Fang entered, everyone was already there, whispering amongst themselves, but as he took his seat, the room instantly fell silent.

Xu Ming cleared his throat.

He said, "Today's meeting is a bit special, we have also specifically invited someone over, please welcome Comrade Yuan Zhenting, the former town chief."

As soon as his voice fell.

At the doorway of the meeting room.

Yuan Zhenting, leaning on a cane, appeared.

The entire town leadership team consisted of eleven people.

Apart from Chen Fang, everyone stood up and applauded Yuan Zhenting.

The applause was enthusiastic.

Yuan Zhenting waved his hands for everyone to sit down one by one.

He naturally saw that Chen Fang, who had not moved from his seat at all, was still sitting.

Although his face showed displeasure, he forcefully suppressed it.

"Alright, let's take our seats. I'm retired now, I'm no longer your leader. Today we're discussing the warehouse fire. As the general manager of the cooperative, I'm even worried about upsetting certain people."

These words were said by Yuan Zhenting.

Of course, they were also meant for Chen Fang to hear.

Disciplinary Committee member Liu Fuwen heard this.

He immediately stood up, went over to aid Yuan Zhenting, and said, "Old leader, all of us here were once your subordinates. If anyone is unhappy, we'll definitely make them unhappy too, come, please take my seat."

"Hahaha... No, not at all, as I just said, I'm not a party member anymore, I'll just sit over here."

Having said that.

Yuan Zhenting took a seat on a chair in the corner.

Though it was a corner.

His presence gave the illusion.

That he was still the person who could make the final decision in this meeting room.

"Alright, let's start the meeting. The topic of today's meeting is the major fire at the cooperative's warehouse yesterday. According to preliminary estimates, the fire has caused a loss of 800,000 yuan, with 550,000 yuan for the goods that were about to be shipped out, and another 250,000 yuan for the warehouse costs."

As soon as Xu Ming finished speaking.

There was a collective murmur of disbelief.

Liu Fuwen suddenly asked the Party Committee member and police station chief Qiu Mingchen, "Chief Qiu, although I wasn't at the scene, I heard that the suspect of the arson has been caught. What's the situation now?"

Qiu Mingchen glanced at Chen Fang and said, "The suspect has indeed been caught, but he's not at the police station, nor in my custody."

"Not in your custody, what's the situation?"

Liu Fuwen looked very puzzled.

But who in the room didn't know that he was just putting on a show, a play that had been directed long ago?
