The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Ji Shuzhen pushed two photos in front of Tang Guozheng.

Tang Guozheng picked them up and looked, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

The protagonist in the photos was Cui Liansheng.

The first photo showed his disheveled state when he was taken from his home by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Committee.

The second photo depicted the scene of Cui Liansheng being interrogated.

Cui Liansheng, who had always been at the forefront opposing Tang Guozheng, now looked utterly frustrated, which naturally made Tang Guozheng feel relaxed.

He slumped on the sofa.

Relaxed, he said, "Comrade Shuzhen, next you need to proactively shift your work towards the Party organization."

This sentence contained many signals.

The Deputy Secretary of the City Committee is in charge of Party organization work.

The Deputy Mayor primarily handles administrative matters.

Shifting proactively towards Party organization, isn't that a signal of promotion?

Ji Shuzhen felt a surge of excitement.

She immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, leader. I will work even harder."

Tang Guozheng was very satisfied.

Just lit a cigarette.

Ji Shuzhen asked, "Leader, I have another question. I'm not sure if I should ask."

"Go ahead."

"We've completely restrained Chen Fang's work. If we force him to side with Liu Yi, wouldn't that be more harm than good?"

Tang Guozheng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Liu Yi won't accept Chen Fang. If he really collects Chen Fang, that would be his disaster."

"Leader, I don't quite understand."

Of course, Ji Shuzhen understood the reasoning behind it.

She deliberately asked.

Wanting Tang Guozheng to say it out loud would make it feel more fulfilling.

The role of flattery is essentially to satisfy the leader.

"You still need to hone your skills. Just think, Cui Liansheng has long played the spearhead for Liu Yi. If such a person is suddenly knocked down by Chen Fang, and Liu Yi turns around and forgets the past grievances and instead collects Chen Fang, what would others think? Surely they would say Liu Yi is lacking integrity, right? So, to stabilize morale, not only should he not collect Chen Fang, he should also suppress him. Morale is most important when a building is about to collapse..."

"Brilliant! Leader, you really see the whole picture..."

Ji Shuzhen said flatteringly.

After leaving Tang Guozheng's office.

Ji Shuzhen felt very happy.

Since Lou Youhua was arrested, she had almost not slept well for a single day.

But today, her unsettled heart was finally at ease.

In her view, no matter what, Chen Fang could not overturn the situation.

Just walked into the lobby of the City Committee building.

Suddenly, her eyes brightened.

She saw at the entrance of the lobby, a woman with outstanding looks and figure, who was looking around.

Hesitated for a moment.

She turned disappointedly and left.

Ji Shuzhen was somewhat curious.

She waved at the gatekeeper.

Seeing Ji Shuzhen signaling, the gatekeeper immediately ran over spinning like a top and greeted respectfully: "Hello, Mayor Ji."

"What was that woman doing just now?"

Ji Shuzhen pointed towards the direction of the gate and asked.

The gatekeeper looked back and said, "Oh? You're talking about her, she came to find Chen Fang, Secretary Chen. But I called Secretary Chen's office, and he's not in, he just left..."

"Came to find Secretary Chen, what's her name?"

Ji Shuzhen asked.

The gatekeeper thought for a moment and said, "The registered name... seems... seems to be Gu Mengsheng, yes, Gu Mengsheng."

"Do you have her registered address and phone number?"

Ji Shuzhen asked.

The reason for asking was that Ji Shuzhen knew that all visitors to the City Committee had to register detailed identification information; it was a rule.

"Yes, yes, of course there is, such procedures certainly can't be omitted."

The gatekeeper answered seriously.

Ji Shuzhen paused and said, "Let me see it."

The gatekeeper hurriedly brought the registration book.

Upon seeing it, Ji Shuzhen found indeed it was Gu Mengsheng, with a registered address in Shanghu District, Shangqing City.

Judging by the ID card number, this Gu Mengsheng was indeed from Shangqing City too.

How could this be?

Could it be that Gu Mengsheng filled it out incorrectly?

Of course not!

Although Gu Mengsheng grew up following Shangguan Shoudong, Shangguan Shoudong had never moved her household registration over all these years; doing so was also to leave a legacy for a good brother.

Additionally, the place of registration indicated by the ID card when you were born remains unchanged, regardless of your subsequent growth journey.

In other words.

Gu Mengsheng had filled out real information on the visitor list.

Strangely.

At this moment inside Ji Shuzhen, arose a twisted desire for revenge.

After handing the registration book back to the gatekeeper, she headed straight to the square in front of the building.

At this moment.

Gu Mengsheng looked quite bored, sitting on a stone bench in the green belt area, presumably waiting for Chen Fang's return.

"Little sister, are you waiting for Chen Fang, Secretary Chen?"

A voice came from behind.

Gu Mengsheng turned back and saw a woman in her fifties with a kind smile.

"Hello, sister, I'm here to see Chen Fang."

Gu Mengsheng replied politely.

"Oh, Secretary Chen went out to work and might come back a little later, you can call him." Ji Shuzhen said.

Gu Mengsheng's face turned awkward.

Scratched her head and said, "My phone was stolen while I was out playing, do you have Chen Fang's phone number? Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"

Upon hearing this.

Ji Shuzhen was stirred.

She laughed and said, "Secretary Chen just came, I don't have his phone number either. It's not good to wait outside like this, today's weather forecast predicts over thirty degrees, you'll get heatstroke. How about this, let me take you to Secretary Chen's house, waiting there would be more comfortable."

"No need sister, it's too much trouble."

Gu Mengsheng waved her hand and said.

Ji Shuzhen chuckled and said, "What trouble, no trouble at all, Secretary Chen is usually very nice to us. You are his friend, helping you with this is nothing. Recently Secretary Chen is occupied with a major case, and his return time is uncertain, better listen to me..."

At this time, Gu Mengsheng didn't have any better options.

Plus Ji Shuzhen's repeated invitation.

Young as she was just entering society, she wouldn't have expected a female cadre from the City Committee to do anything to her.

Helplessly nodded, apologizing said, "Thank you, sister."

So it was.

Gu Mengsheng got into the car with Ji Shuzhen.

On the way "home," Ji Shuzhen drove while casually chatting with Gu Mengsheng, trying to gather information about her identity from her casual words.

Once she heard Gu Mengsheng mention she was just an ordinary citizen, Ji Shuzhen's unsettled heart finally gained peace.

Using the corner of her eye to glance at Gu Mengsheng's exquisitely beautiful face.

The demon inside her began to stir.

At this moment, Gu Mengsheng was unaware that waiting for her was an ordeal she wouldn't dare recall in the future.
