That's the notebook left behind by Tan Yandong.

Although Chen Fang still doesn't know what value this notebook holds.

From Jiang Chuo's constant obsession with it, it can be seen that there must be a hidden secret behind this notebook.

And You Li's approach.

Most likely, it's for this notebook.

"According to what you say, you should be thinking about Jiang Chuo."

You Li said.

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

He said, "When Jiang Chuo met me again, he mentioned the notebook. If he had arranged for you to come over, he certainly wouldn't have alerted the enemy. So, your presence with me must be arranged by the Hou Family. Their purpose in obtaining the notebook is probably to use what's inside it to manipulate Jiang Chuo."

"I don't know what's in the notebook, and I don't know what they're planning to do with it. Indeed, it was Hou Liangping who sent me over, but I didn't expect that once they got it, they would want to..."

She hesitated to continue.

But thinking about it still left her feeling a bit scared.

If it weren't for Chen Fang, she might now be a cold corpse in a bathtub.

"Ah Fang gave me the notebook to study the trick inside, even though I intentionally locked myself in the room, you still noticed the details. You thought you stole the notebook, but actually, it was deliberately left for you."

Fang Mei said from the side.

At this point.

You Li suddenly realized.

She laughed and said, "It seems my acting isn't bad. Even if there were flaws, they weren't my fault."

"Indeed, your acting was excellent. From the beginning until Song Jiangshan's assignment, I didn't suspect you. If it was dragged out long enough, you might have succeeded. It's a pity that even if you succeeded, you wouldn't get everything you wanted."

Chen Fang said.

You Li nodded.

She said, "I was deceived by him."

At this point.

She suddenly looked up at Chen Fang and said, "But... but that notebook still ended up in their hands?"

Fang Mei chuckled.

She said, "Since it was deliberately let you get your hands on it, naturally the notebook is fake."

"Fake?"

You Li asked in surprise.

Seeing everyone's expressions, she realized the whole process was nothing but a dream, not only was she a pawn of Hou Liangping, she was also a pawn of Chen Fang.

A trace of sadness flashed across her face.

"What Hou Liangping couldn't give you, I'll give you, but you need to do something for me."

Chen Fang said.

Originally desperate, You Li.

Hope rekindled in her eyes.

She asked, "What is it?"

Chen Fang leaned closer to You Li's ear and whispered a few words.

You Li pondered for a moment.

She asked, "You won't play me like Hou Liangping did, will you?"

Chen Fang looked at Fang Gui.

Fang Gui picked up a travel bag from the floor and threw it in front of her, saying, "As long as you agree, these things are yours."

You Li didn't open the bag.

She just stared blankly for a moment.

No one knew what she was thinking during that moment.

But one minute later.

She stood up and said, "Alright, I'll do it!"

...

The day after formalizing the matter with You Li.

Jiang Chuo officially took office as the newly appointed governor in Jiangdong Province.

The welcoming ceremony that day was grand.

Not only were all the provincial leaders present, but even some city heads participated in the welcoming ceremony.

This was not surprising.

Being able to connect with the Hou Family line basically indicates that Jiang Chuo's future is bright.

If you can maintain a good relationship with him, naturally, you can rise to success along with him.

That same afternoon.

A phone call from Yuanjing reached the Jiangdong Provincial Party Office, following the expected plan, Political Affairs Office member Shangguan Shoudong would arrive in Jiangdong Province in four days for a four-day research and inspection.

The first stop was Xiaxiang City.

After receiving the news.

The Provincial Party Office immediately notified Xiaxiang's City Committee and City Government, requesting Xiaxiang City to make all necessary preparations for the visit.

At around four o'clock that afternoon.

City Secretary Peng Guoliang convened an urgent Party Committee meeting.

In the meeting room, Peng Guoliang assigned tasks related to Shangguan Shoudong's inspection and research.

Don't underestimate the visit of a high-level leader.

He might just take a look and give a speech, but for the people below, there's a lot to be done.

The first is stability work.

During the leader's research period, nothing major like criminal cases or safety responsibility accidents should happen across the city, right? Even traffic accidents shouldn't be too serious, not to mention ideological issues.

Of course, during the leader's research, a scene like blocking the carriage to plead for justice from ancient times is not allowed; otherwise, Peng Guoliang and other Xiaxiang City leadership would face severe consequences.

This pressure is not only on the police but also involves all lower-level agencies, ensuring comprehensive prevention and control.

The second point is security work.

When a high-ranking official like Shangguan Shoudong visits, safety issues are naturally of utmost importance. The entire judicial system must immediately enter first-level duty mode, not to mention that even the armed police and local military need to be on alert.

If a mass incident occurs, it must be controlled in the shortest possible time.

Aside from these two points.

There's also environmental cleanup, like road sweeping, landscaping renovation, streetlight repairs, highway maintenance, and so on—all countless tasks.

Thus, after the Party Committee meeting concluded.

Newly appointed Mayor Song Jiangshan promptly convened a City Government's party group meeting, as many of the specifics need to be executed by the City Government.

Having recently been to Yuanjing, Song Jiangshan had been in office for two days, and Chen Fang hadn't had the chance to meet him.

After receiving the meeting notice.

Chen Fang tidied up, just about ready to leave, when there was a knock on the door.

The door was open.

Chen Fang looked up.

His heart jolted.

Unexpectedly, the person standing at the door was none other than Song Jiangshan.

"Hahaha, Mayor Chen, we meet again."

Song Jiangshan laughed heartily, and seeing this, Chen Fang remained calm, saying apologetically, "Mayor Song, I'm really sorry, I wasn't feeling well the other day, on the day you took office..."

Before he could finish his apology.

Song Jiangshan waved his hand, interrupting him.

He glanced at his watch and said, "The meeting starts in fifteen minutes. I came to see you, how's your health?"

"Much better, Mayor Song, please have a seat!"

Chen Fang quickly invited Song Jiangshan to sit down.

Just before he went to brew tea.

Song Jiangshan interrupted him.

He said, "Don't bother, there's not much time. Actually, I've come to ask for a favor."

"Oh? Mayor Song, please feel free to speak."

Chen Fang said.
