The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"You really won't cry until you see the coffin, huh? Fine, in that case, I'll show you."

Chen Fang finished speaking.

He looked toward his secretary Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng nodded.

He walked to a car belonging to the Disciplinary Committee.

Opened the rear car door.

Ye Fuqiang glanced in that direction, and his whole body shivered, his legs trembling involuntarily.

What appeared before his eyes was none other than Daoist Tong Xuan from the White Crane Taoist Temple on Golden Phoenix Mountain.

Next,

Jiang Feng walked to another car.

This time, the car door opened by itself.

A middle-aged man emerged from inside, none other than Zhou Yan, the developer of East Green Garden, and the boss of Jianhong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

"Secretary Ye, long time no see, I hope you're well."

Zhou Yan's greeting.

Made Ye Fuqiang tremble again.

His clothes, which had just dried, were once again stained with sweat.

Liu Jian wasn't a fool.

Seeing Ye Fuqiang's significant reaction, he knew that these two people were "heavyweights."

He quickly thought it over.

Looked at Ye Fuqiang and asked, "Tell me the truth, have you been involved in corruption or abuse of power..."

"Brother-in-law... I..."

Ye Fuqiang began to cry.

This public cry of brother-in-law.

Made Liu Jian realize he couldn't hold it anymore.

With a slap, he hit Ye Fuqiang's face, shouting, "You bastard, I kept telling you to be a good official and serve the people wholeheartedly, but instead, you exploit the people and commit all kinds of evil. I won't care about you anymore. Whether you live or die is up to you."

After saying this.

Liu Jian got directly into his car.

With a click, he closed the door.

But the car didn't start.

Clearly, he wanted to use his presence to continue pressuring Chen Fang and the others.

Liu Jian didn't care anymore.

The Disciplinary Committee cadres wouldn't be polite to him either.

They went straight up and restrained Ye Fuqiang.

"Take him away."

Chen Fang waved his hand.

Ye Fuqiang was then escorted into the car.

At the same time.

Thunderous applause came from behind.

Everyone turned around.

Only to see the villagers of Nanmen Village coming out.

They stood scattered in several rows, all of them old, weak, women, and children, with sallow complexions that looked pitiful.

Seeing Ye Fuqiang arrested.

Many faces shed tears of excitement.

"Mayor Qin, you are in charge of agriculture and rural affairs, what arrangements will you make for these people next?"

Chen Fang asked.

Qin Du thought for a moment and said, "I'll head back immediately and contact the Civil Affairs Bureau to first solve their accommodation and food problems. As for this unfinished building, it's not up to me. It might need to be discussed at the Standing Committee meeting."

This was not shirking responsibility either.

After all, rebuilding the development requires a lot of funds.

As a deputy mayor, he didn't have that kind of power.

At 2:00 PM.

The news of Ye Fuqiang, the Secretary of the Shangjiang District Party Committee, being put under investigation by the Disciplinary Committee shocked the whole Shangqing City.

Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi, upon receiving the news, were both stunned.

It's important to know that moving a primary real authority figure of this level requires prior reporting to them as the main officials, but they were only notified afterward, each of them simmering with anger.

Especially Tang Guozheng.

As the City Secretary.

Chen Fang didn't notify him at all before taking action.

This behavior was essentially akin to rubbing his face in the dirt.

Knock knock knock.

A series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded.

With anger in his heart.

Tang Guozheng shouted, "Come in."

The door opened.

Secretary Yuan Jun walked in.

"What's the matter?"

Tang Guozheng asked unfriendly.

"Leader, Vice Chairman Liu Jian of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference has arrived."

Yuan Jun said.

Tang Guozheng shivered.

Suddenly stood up, angrily exclaiming, "Then why are you dawdling? Invite him in, please."

Yuan Jun immediately turned around, and in no time, Liu Jian, with an equally gloomy expression, swaggered in.

"Vice Chairman Liu, what brings you here?"

Tang Guozheng still wanted to shake hands.

Liu Jian unceremoniously sat down on the sofa by himself.

Crossed his legs, silent.

"You... you go out first."

Tang Guozheng said to Yuan Jun.

Yuan Jun left, closing the door behind him.

Then.

Tang Guozheng personally brewed a cup of tea for Liu Jian, respectfully presenting it to him.

"Vice Chairman Liu, please have some tea."

Liu Jian glanced at the cup, said coldly, "Comrade Guozheng, what on earth are you doing in Shangqing City? Recently, you dealt with a County Party Secretary of Guangshou, and now a District Party Secretary of Shangjiang, what is this? Turning the world upside down? Or does the Shangqing Municipal Committee have poor judgment, favoring problematic people in positions of power?"

This remark, Tang Guozheng naturally understood.

He was implying that since these people were appointed by you, now that they've all been found problematic, you also bear joint responsibility.

"Yes, yes, the leader is right, but in this matter, I am very aggrieved too, Vice Chairman Liu, to be honest, I only just got the news. This Chen Fang, acts so recklessly, not even considering me, the City Secretary."

Tang Guozheng complained with an aggrieved tone.

Seemingly expressing grievances.

In fact, shifting all the responsibility onto Chen Fang.

Of course, saying this also tested Liu Jian's stance.

He wanted to know what this revered figure thought of Chen Fang.

"No discipline, utterly lawless, disregarding leadership, acting wilfully, at this rate, even the little power of the Disciplinary Committee would become his magic staff. Comrade Guozheng, as the top leader of Shangqing City, you must suppress such tendencies, otherwise, in the long run, the entire Shangqing City will be in chaos."

Liu Jian's words.

Instantly characterized Chen Fang's actions.

Tang Guozheng was overjoyed.

Finally found an opportunity to deal with Chen Fang.

But after all, he was a cunning person.

Upon reflection, he said, "Vice Chairman Liu, I will definitely pursue Chen Fang's issues, but..."

He deliberately dragged the note, waiting for Liu Jian to ask proactively.

Liu Jian smiled faintly, and with a meaningful tone said, "Are you worried that Comrade Liu Yi would oppose you?"

"Vice Chairman Liu, as expected of a leader, nothing escapes your keen eyes."

Tang Guozheng said with a grin.

Liu Jian waved his hand and said, "I just came from Liu Yi's place, regarding this matter, he also feels that the situation is quite serious, and it must be corrected heavily. While I'm here, why don't you organize a meeting, I'll also listen to some opinions from your Standing Committee members."

With those words said.

Liu Jian's intention became very clear.

He wanted to use his power to put pressure on the entire Shangqing Municipal Committee.

Ye Fuqiang's arrest was a fact.

But this didn't mean there were no grounds for maneuvering in this matter.

At 3:00 PM.

All the Standing Committee members, who received the temporary meeting notice, walked into the Standing Committee conference room in quick succession.

They were still chattering away.

But once Chen Fang walked in.

The conference room immediately fell silent.
