The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

That night.

Momo was very intense.

Not only did she change positions and locations, but her movements were also large, and she was screaming loudly.

It seemed like it wasn't a collision of love, but rather a way to vent.

For a moment, Chen Fang even felt that Momo wanted to exhaust him completely.

Even so.

He still gave his all to handle it.

By the time dawn began to break.

The bedsheets in the bedroom were in complete disarray.

There were red bite marks and scratches on his body.

Momo wasn't in a much better state.

She had no energy left at all, lying there breathlessly like a corpse.

Saliva unconsciously dripped from her mouth.

Below, between her legs, that piece of repeatedly tormented land was swollen like a bun at this point.

"Are you okay?"

After resting for a long time.

Chen Fang stood up and asked.

Momo didn't answer.

Instead, she propped herself up with her arms and sat up.

Chen Fang tried to help her, but she pushed him away.

She dressed herself with effort and without a word.

Then she turned back to Chen Fang and said, "From now on, we're completely severing ties."

"Why?"

Chen Fang shivered and asked.

Momo shook her head and said, "No reason, my dad must hate you, and so does my mom. I can't be friends with someone they both detest. What I owed you, I paid back last night, so from now on, you walk your Sunshine Path, and I'll walk my Plank Bridge."

After leaving that statement.

Momo opened the door and disappeared.

Chen Fang quickly got dressed and chased after her.

Unfortunately.

All he saw was Momo's back.

She had already gotten into a taxi and left.

At that moment, Chen Fang felt a bit sad.

He never expected such an ending.

But no matter what, he had no regrets.

After all, the wrongdoers were punished, and justice was served, which was the most important thing.

The resolution of the 626 case caused a great stir throughout Shangqing City.

More sensational than the previous few people dealt with.

The effect was also more apparent.

The originally marginalized Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Committee had now become a feared entity in Shangqing City; just the mention of a tea invitation from the Disciplinary Committee would make people break out in cold sweat.

From that day on, Chen Fang gained a nickname in Shangqing City — "Tiger Head Guillotine."

In film and television works.

The Tiger Head Guillotine is prepared specifically for corrupt officials and court ministers.

From this, it can be seen how significant the deterrent effect Chen Fang had brought.

Three days after Pang Dahai was detained.

Shangqing City launched a special campaign against organized crime and vice.

The crime syndicate led by Pang Dahai was uprooted, greatly improving the black and evil forces, especially in the Shanghu District.

About half a month later.

The province made a major move.

Qi Shouting, citing health reasons, voluntarily resigned from the position of Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee.

The Supreme Organization Department decided to remove Xu Yanchi from his role as Jiuhe Province's Disciplinary Committee Secretary and reassigned him as a Provincial Committee Member, Standing Committee Member, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee, and also the Principal of the Provincial Party School.

During the interim period before the new disciplinary committee secretary assumed office, Xu Yanchi temporarily acted as the head of the Provincial Disciplinary Committee.

It has to be said that Xu Yanchi became the biggest beneficiary after the 626 case.

The day after Xu Yanchi's promotion.

The Provincial Committee passed a resolution.

Relieving Zou Yibin from his duties as Secretary of the Shangqing Municipal Organization Department and promoting him to a member of the Shangqing City Committee, Standing Committee, and Deputy Mayor.

Former Deputy Mayor of Lin Chuan City, Zhou Jibai, was transferred to Shangqing City, assuming the role of City Committee Member, Standing Committee Member, and Secretary of the Organization Department.

Former Minister of the Xingping City Propaganda Department, Pei Xing, was transferred to Shangqing City to become City Committee Member, Standing Committee Member, and Minister of the Propaganda Department.

The Provincial Committee made significant changes this time.

Directly affecting three positions.

Other than Zou Yibin, who was originally from Shangqing City.

The other two were transferred from outside.

This also showed the Provincial Committee's extreme distrust of Shangqing City's leadership team.

Actually, this isn't surprising.

In the entire leadership team, the only two female officials encountered issues, indirectly reflecting the chaotic political scene in Shangqing City.

Of course.

There's also a curious point in this.

That is, Chen Fang, the meritorious one, instead suffered neglect.

After solving so many cases and serving as a deputy leader of the Supreme Inspection Team, with the recent cracking of the 626 case, he logically should be highly credited.

But the province didn't promote him, nor did it even publicly commend him.

It's important to recognize.

Each subtle move by the Provincial Committee is a political indicator.

From this perspective.

The province was dissatisfied with Chen Fang.

There was even a hint of criticism.

Actually, this makes sense.

After all, as soon as he took office, he stirred up such waves in Shangqing City. What about Shangqing City's status as a civilized city in the future? What about its external image? What about attracting investment?

These consequences cannot be ignored.

The political chaos in Shangqing City also highlighted the incompetence of the Jiuhe Provincial Committee.

Could it be that the provincial leaders aren't concerned about their reputation?

Thus, in the eyes of the provincial leaders, Chen Fang probably became an impetuous person willing to sacrifice Shangqing City's interests to climb the ranks.

With such an impression, it's no wonder he wasn't promoted.

It's not just from the above.

The things Chen Fang did also made him the subject of much resentment in Shangqing City.

First is Tang Guozheng.

He's already received countless angry calls from higher-ups.

As the top leader.

With incidents happening repeatedly in his jurisdiction, how could he not bear responsibility?

Secondly, there's Mayor Liu Yi.

Qi Shouting was originally his backer, relying on which he might have had a chance to advance further.

But now that his backer has fallen.

And having once served as Qi Shouting's secretary.

Even if he did nothing, it would be unlikely he could be entrusted with any significant role going forward.

With his prospects blocked, it's not just a matter of hatred—it's not exaggerated to say he might face extreme resentment.

Apart from these two heavyweight figures.

Many below also hold significant resentment towards Chen Fang.

Especially those who relied on Tang Guozheng or Ji Shuzhen, Li Xuan, and others.

When one radish is pulled, the mud follows.

Seeing their years of painstakingly nurtured support collapse, how heartbreaking it must be.

Through all this, Chen Fang isn't blind or deaf; he can see and hear it all.

However, he does not care.

In his view, as the head of a disciplinary department, if he were to fear this and that, he couldn't possibly do his job.

It's inherently a position that offends people—isn't it overthinking to wish for universal affection?

On the afternoon of the day Qi Shouting announced his dismissal.

Liu Yi knocked on Tang Guozheng's office door.

Since the opposition formed between them in Shangqing City, Liu Yi hadn't actively sought out Tang Guozheng in a long time.

Regarding Liu Yi's proactive approach.

Tang Guozheng wasn't surprised.

This catastrophe.

Had cost Liu Yi the most.

He not only had to endure Cui Liansheng's "betrayal," and now with Qi Shouting's downfall, how could he not be anxious?
