The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

After the report on the three people's situation was over,

Zhou Jibai closed the folder in his hand.

He said, "Of course, there are more cadres like these three. Recently, the organization department will submit a detailed list. As I said, in their position, they must fulfill their duties. No matter who it is, they must exert the power bestowed by the people to the utmost, so that they can serve the people better. I've finished speaking."

In the meeting room.

There was a brief silence.

Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi looked very calm.

But some who weren't informed earlier already sensed a hint of danger.

The two top leaders rarely formed an alliance and declared war on Chen Fang.

Or rather, it wasn't just a declaration of war.

At least Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi had drawn their swords.

Next, it was up to Chen Fang to respond.

Just as Cui Liansheng was about to speak,

Chen Fang suddenly raised his hand and said, "Secretary Tang, may I say a few words?"

This was precisely the effect they wanted.

Tang Guozheng nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead, Comrade Chen Fang."

Chen Fang glanced around at everyone present.

Paused, then said, "The opinion proposed by Minister Zhou just now, I think it's very reasonable, especially the phrase 'in their position, they must fulfill their duties.' Personally, I agree."

Suddenly.

Everyone's expression turned stunned.

What's going on?

Chen Fang actually agreed?

It's important to know that the three mentioned were his own people.

If he agrees, doesn't that mean he's burning bridges?

Then in Shangqing City, who would dare to turn to him in the future?

Seeing this, Liu Yi smiled slightly.

He said, "Comrade Chen Fang is the epitome of fulfilling duties in his position. Hence, I also urge everyone to learn from Comrade Chen Fang. Don't occupy the latrine without defecating. All right, I won't say more. Does anyone have any objections?"

In here.

The only one who might have opposed was Cui Liansheng.

But Chen Fang had already made his position clear first.

He certainly wouldn't counter him.

Naturally, he remained silent.

Tang Guozheng was very pleased with this result.

Paused, then said, "All right, this proposal is deemed passed. Comrade Jibai, make sure to implement this matter when you return. Aim to have these personnel changes on the agenda by Friday's meeting."

"Okay, Secretary Tang, I will do it as soon as possible."

After responding,

Zhou Jibai sneakily glanced at Chen Fang.

His eyes were filled with pride and arrogance.

As if he'd already grasped control over Chen Fang.

After the meeting ended,

Chen Fang had just returned to his office when Cui Liansheng followed closely behind.

"Secretary Chen, don't you see what this means? They're coming right at you, why not let me speak? Although I'm somewhat weakened now, as the deputy secretary of the City Committee, I still hold some voice..."

Upon entering,

Cui Liansheng expressed indignantly.

Chen Fang wasn't in a rush.

Sitting him down on the sofa,

He reassured him, "Secretary Liansheng, don't be angry."

"How can I not be angry? That Zhou Jibai, what does he count as? Just came to Shangqing City a few days ago, already stirring things up?"

"Alright, alright, have a glass of water to soothe your throat."

Chen Fang handed him a glass of water.

He said, "Today's Standing Committee meeting had very clear intentions, even if the two of us say more, we can't change their thoughts and purposes. Anyway, this hasn't been finalized yet, so we still have time. Why rush?"

"You already have preparations?"

Cui Liansheng asked.

Chen Fang nodded.

He said, "Before today's meeting, I received a call from Comrade Yang Qunjie asking me if his job was going to be shifted. At first, I didn't pay attention, but later I thought about it carefully and felt there might be problems here. Therefore, I've already sent Comrade Jiang Feng to investigate Zhou Jibai's background. He should be back soon."

As soon as the words were spoken.

A knock sounded.

Then Jiang Feng entered the room.

"Found out?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Yes, indeed some minor mistakes led Minister Zhou Jibai to be transferred to our Shangqing City."

Upon hearing this,

Cui Liansheng was stunned.

He looked at Chen Fang and asked, "Transferred because of mistakes? You knew beforehand?"

Chen Fang shook his head.

He said, "Of course not, I just had some suspicions, so I asked Ah Feng to check."

"Why suspect?"

"Secretary Liansheng, look here, Minister Pei Xing from Xingping City was transferred here. Shangqing City ranks fifth in provincial economy, and Xingping City ranks ninth. Lateral transfers from lower to higher positions usually represent promotions. But it's different with Zhou Jibai's Lin Chuan City, which ranked third last year, and it's also a lateral transfer. This suggests two possibilities: either Zhou Jibai lacks ability or he's made some minor errors."

"Initially, I wasn't so convinced, but you see, he came over just three days ago and already stood up for Tang Guozheng and Liu Yi. What does this indicate? It indicates he's eager to do things and find a new backer quickly, which further hints he has some issues himself."

Upon hearing this analysis.

Cui Liansheng thoughtfully nodded.

He said, "Makes sense."

"Ah Feng, tell us, what were the minor mistakes? Was it a lifestyle issue?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Feng's face showed an expression of surprise.

He nodded and said, "Yes, it was indeed a lifestyle issue..."

The mistake Zhou Jibai made wasn't too big, but saying it was small also doesn't quite fit.

It was just a typical male problem, unable to control his urges.

Seven years ago, Zhou Jibai's wife passed away due to illness.

Since then, he remained single.

His public image was of a diligent, abstinent middle-aged man focused on work, until one day, he was caught flagrante delicto by a subordinate at his unit.

The subordinate is named Shi Tuo.

He is the deputy director of the personnel department of Lin Chuan City's organization department, 37 years old.

This Shi Tuo really isn't very commendable in terms of appearance, standing under 1.6 meters, his face covered with pockmarks. Saying he's extremely ugly is exaggerated, but calling him plain is understated.

Shi Tuo has a wife named Zhong Ni.

Zhong Ni is 36 years old, a very ordinary housewife, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure and a charming demeanor.

Especially the prominent chest, rather transparent and bright.

A stand-out among the slightly overweight category.

Doesn't this couple pairing look familiar?

Those who know them have given the pair nicknames, Shi Tuo is called Shi Dalang.

And Zhong Ni is naturally called Zhong Jinlian.
