"Alright, Comrade Nongxin, I'll leave Weiyang's work handover matters to you. Comrade Chen Fang, you should go back and prepare well. Later, I'll have Comrade Wei Xing send you all the information about the old city renovation to look over carefully and take charge of the work as soon as possible."
Peng Guoliang said.
"Alright, Comrade Weiyang, come with me."
Zhou Nongxin stood up and said to Li Weiyang.
Li Weiyang nodded.
He then followed Zhou Nongxin and left.
After bidding farewell to Peng Guoliang, Chen Fang returned to his office, his mind in turmoil.
He hadn't even had a chance to sit down.
When Xu Lianyun pushed the door open and came in.
"What? Seeing an old acquaintance stirred your heart a bit?"
Chen Fang turned around abruptly and asked, "Lianyun, tell me, what's going on? Who brought you here? Your transfer, Ye Xiao'e's transfer, and Li Weiyang's transfer are all cross-provincial. It seems like they don't know the connection between us, how on earth was this accomplished?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you about these situations. You just need to know that we are all here to help you."
Xu Lianyun said.
The confusion in his mind.
Had swelled to the extreme at this point.
Chen Fang really wanted to know what had happened.
Even though he knew that these people were transferred to help him, his curiosity was still hard to ignore.
Seeing Chen Fang so torn.
Xu Lianyun smiled.
She said, "Alright, don't waste time on this issue. When the time comes, you'll definitely know. The old city renovation is a great job; I can't understand why you seem unwilling to take it on."
Chen Fang sat down on the sofa.
He asked, "This position has been vacant for a long time; what's the main reason?"
Xu Lianyun thought for a moment.
She said, "Peng Guoliang and Zhou Nongxin couldn't reconcile their interests."
"Yes, their interests couldn't be reconciled, which is why the position remained vacant. Zhou Nongxin and I have had an essentially publicized conflict. Under such circumstances, why would he recommend me for leading this project? Don't you find it strange?"
"Perhaps... perhaps it's to use this as an opportunity to reconcile with Peng Guoliang?"
Xu Lianyun asked.
Chen Fang shook his head.
He said, "When he was weaker, Zhou Nongxin didn't consider reconciliation. Now, with only a week left until Jiang Chuo takes office, it's evident that if Zhou Nongxin waits for Jiang Chuo to have backing before deciding on this matter, he could gain some benefits. Do you think there's any chance of reconciliation under such conditions?"
"No."
Xu Lianyun replied.
Chen Fang let out a long breath.
He said, "Alright, now that I've already agreed, I can only take it one step at a time."
After saying this.
Chen Fang was about to ask more about the "mysterious person."
The phone rang.
A quick glance at the number.
It was Shen Zhi calling.
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Lianyun slipped away.
Over the phone, Shen Zhi told Chen Fang that all the items in Yang Pei's private room had been cleared out. Because it was an old community, there were no cameras nearby. They also disguised themselves as a moving company, so there shouldn't be any traces left.
When Shen Zhi handled matters.
Chen Fang could be at ease.
He thought for a moment.
He said, "Ah Zhi, find a place to store these items for now, then pick two or three distinctive antiques from them; I'll send someone to collect them."
"Alright."
Shen Zhi wasn't one for idle talk either.
After they agreed on a time and place, they ended the call.
After hanging up.
Chen Fang ran through the entire process again in his mind.
Next.
He needed to prepare the next step in his plan.
At 2 PM.
Deputy Secretary-General of the City Government, Wei Xing, brought all the materials regarding the old city renovation.
Chen Fang spent the entire afternoon carefully reviewing them.
As of now.
The project was underway, and the bidding process had already concluded.
The general contractor was Xiaxiang City Chongfa Construction Co., Ltd.
The company's actual controller is named Fan Chongfa.
Since he was already the responsible leader, and tomorrow happened to be the weekend, Chen Fang planned to personally visit the construction site to get a better understanding of the project's progress.
He set the materials aside.
It was already dark outside.
Far past the end of the workday.
Chen Fang couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
He had thought that Li Weiyang would surely come looking for him in the afternoon, but she didn't.
After tidying up a little.
He prepared to leave work.
At that moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the sound of rain.
Chen Fang quickly found an umbrella.
As he reached the corner of the first-floor lobby of the City Government Building, his eyes brightened because that graceful figure was sheltering from the rain under the eaves of the entrance.
Li Weiyang was dressed very simply today.
She wore a professional suit on top.
A pair of tight-fitting jeans below.
It must be said, Li Weiyang looked quite striking in those jeans.
Her straight long legs and rounded hips were quite eye-catching.
"Look, the new City Government Secretary. With that silhouette, those hips... I'm not exaggerating; with a body like that, I could play all night."
At that moment.
A man's rustling voice echoed at the corridor's entrance.
Then.
The other voice said, "With your behavior, you think she'd like you?"
"I've heard she's divorced. Just think, a divorced woman at this age, she must feel quite empty. Just a little display of a man's charm and I bet she'd be drooling."
"Hahaha, you're so lewd."
"..."
The two of them were making inappropriate jokes at a distance, targeting Li Weiyang's silhouette.
Chen Fang stood in the shadows, unnoticed by the pair.
Seeing them chatter on instead of stopping.
Chen Fang felt uncomfortable.
He deliberately cleared his throat.
The two guys spotted him and broke into a cold sweat.
Politely, they greeted, "Hello, Mayor Chen."
Then quickly made their exit.
Not even having time to open their umbrellas.
This single cough.
Also caught Li Weiyang's attention.
Chen Fang felt it inappropriate to hide any longer and stepped out of the shadows.
"You just arrived and didn't bring an umbrella, I'll escort you, alright?"
Chen Fang said.
With a polite smile still on her face, Li Weiyang nodded and pointed towards the entrance, "Just see me to the door, I'll take a taxi home."
Chen Fang opened the umbrella.
Moved closer to Li Weiyang.
A familiar scent wafted to his nose.
They stepped out into the rain together.
To keep Li Weiyang from getting wet.
Chen Fang purposely tilted the umbrella towards her.
Li Weiyang noticed this detail too.
She didn't reject it.
Instead, she leaned her body closer to Chen Fang, allowing both of them to fit under the umbrella.
"I heard what they were saying just now."
Suddenly, Li Weiyang said to Chen Fang.
