The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

This person was none other than Lin Chi, the Director of the Health Bureau in Shangqing City.

Upon receiving a call from Chen Fang, he rushed over hurriedly.

Originally, Niu Hengjian still had a hint of doubt in his mind.

The moment he saw Lin Chi,

the last flicker of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished.

Lin Chi ran up to Chen Fang, panting, and said: "Chen... Secretary Chen, I'm here..."

Then he caught sight of the trembling Niu Hengjian and knew the kid had caused trouble. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Chen Fang pointed to the critically ill patient and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, immediately arrange for hospitalization."

Lin Chi took a look.

He nodded repeatedly.

Niu Hengjian didn't dare delay either and waved to the doctors who were watching the commotion.

A group of people hurriedly brought the patient back in.

Ten minutes later.

In the meeting room of the Tumor Hospital.

Chen Fang sat there, with Lin Chi and Niu Hengjian both standing cautiously.

It's worth noting that Chen Fang, upon taking office, had ousted Pan Shougu, the County Party Secretary of Guangshou, gaining widespread fame. Lin Chi and Niu Hengjian knew then they were in deep trouble and dared not be careless.

"Explain it to me, give me a reason."

Chen Fang said lightly.

Lin Chi hurriedly nudged Niu Hengjian with his hand and feigned anger, saying, "You fool, hurry and speak."

Niu Hengjian swallowed a bit.

He glanced up at Chen Fang.

And said, "Secretary Chen, we... it's not that our hospital didn't want to save the person... it was... Secretary Ye wouldn't allow us to save him..."

"Secretary Ye? Which Secretary Ye?"

Chen Fang asked, puzzled.

Lin Chi quickly explained, "Secretary Ye Fuqiang."

Ye Fuqiang?

Chen Fang naturally knew this name.

Ye Fuqiang was a City Committee Member of Shangqing and the District Party Secretary of Shangjiang District.

The location of the Tumor Hospital happened to be in Shangjiang District.

"Why wouldn't he let you save the person?"

Chen Fang asked.

Niu Hengjian was silent for a moment before he said, "The specific reason, I can't really say for sure. You better ask Miss Si, she knows more about it. Secretary Chen, you also know, our hospital is under the jurisdiction of Shangjiang District, so..."

"No need to explain, you first arrange the rescue, and I'll handle the other issues. Okay, you guys can leave now."

After Chen Fang finished speaking,

the two left as if pardoned.

They expressed their immense gratitude as they exited the door.

A few minutes later, Chen Fang arrived at the entrance of the emergency room.

Xiao Ye was there with Ajing and the others, anxiously waiting outside.

Upon seeing Chen Fang,

Xiao Ye immediately came up to him.

"Thank you, I've troubled you today."

Chen Fang smiled.

He said, "Don't I often trouble you too? No need for formalities. Can you explain to me, what's the relationship between the patient inside and Ye Fuqiang, the District Party Secretary of Shangjiang District?"

Xiao Ye looked surprised and asked, "You already know?"

Chen Fang nodded.

Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment.

He said, "Can I take you somewhere?"

"Sure."

Chen Fang replied.

Xiao Ye turned to give a few instructions to the others.

Then, he led Chen Fang out the door.

After getting back in the car, under Xiao Ye's direction, the car left the highway and onto a dirt road, winding through until it stopped in front of a construction site ruin.

"What is this place?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xiao Ye let out a long sigh and said, "The East Green Garden community, an abandoned building, it's been left like this for four years. The developer ran away, and the government doesn't care. Now, this is the home of the people you saw at the hospital."

After saying this,

Xiao Ye walked in through a gap in the rusty iron fence.

Before entering,

Chen Fang thought it was just abandoned.

Unexpectedly, the scene before him was nothing like that.

Bicycles were parked on the vacant lot.

Looking around, there were tin and wooden shacks set up all over the vacant land.

Of course, what could be seen might not even qualify as houses in a certain sense, many of them on the verge of collapse.

"Xiao Ye, you're back, how is Xianmei?"

At this moment,

a middle-aged woman holding a flashlight emerged from the door of a tin house, seeing Xiao Ye, she immediately approached and asked.

Xiao Ye, changing from his exhausted demeanor, said with a smile, "Auntie, it's alright, Xianmei is fine, she's already being treated. The doctor said she'll be alright after some rest."

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful, Xiao Ye, you're such a savior, Aunt wants to kowtow to you."

After she said that,

the middle-aged woman was about to kneel before Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye immediately supported her.

He turned to glance at Chen Fang and said, "Auntie, it's late, go rest early, I have a friend here, and we have something to discuss."

"Oh oh oh, I won't disturb you then, you go ahead, you two go ahead."

After saying this,

the middle-aged woman wiped her tears and returned to her small hut.

Xiao Ye led Chen Fang through the decrepit buildings and then pushed open one of the doors and said, "Come in."

The lighting inside the room was somewhat dim.

It was just barely enough to see.

Xiao Ye apologetically said, "I haven't been back for several days, the battery wasn't charged, it might be running out soon."

"It's okay, I can see."

Chen Fang said.

He then sat down on a small stool.

Looking around, although the facilities were quite simple, they were arranged in a very cozy manner.

Obviously, this must be Xiao Ye's room.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Chen Fang said.

There weren't any extra stools in the room, so Xiao Ye sat on the bed.

He sighed and said, "Where do I start... let me think, maybe I should start with the Shangjiang District Committee building..."

The timeline should go back to four years ago.

Four years ago,

everyone here were still villagers from Nanmen Village in Gaiao Town, Shangjiang District.

Nanmen Village wasn't very big, with a total of more than 70 households, totaling less than four hundred people.

The village was located at the foot of Nanmen Mountain, and because villagers were longtime neighbors, their relationships were very harmonious.

Originally, life was very peaceful, but unexpectedly, their nightmare began with a red-tape document.

One morning four years ago.

District and town officials came to the village and posted a notice, the content of the notice was that the district had decided to build the new district committee building in Nanmen Village.

It's worth noting that Nanmen Village in Gaiao Town was about thirty kilometers away from the district center.

Who would have thought, the immense fortune of "demolition" would someday fall on them?

Initially, everyone was very excited.

According to the demolition notice, villagers could receive a commercial apartment based on their homestead area, and there would be subsidies for farmland or woodland, the conditions seemed quite generous.

Afterward, it took only two months from start to finish for the villagers to sign the demolition consent form.

For generations of rural people,

being able to acquire an urban residence permit through demolition and also get a house and money, no one could be luckier than they were.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Fang asked, "The house allocated to you was this housing project?"
