The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

"I won't help!"

Chen Fang said firmly.

Xu Caifeng nodded and said, "Fine, if you won't help, then Ah Yu, smash it!"

Chen Yu, who was always a bit of a blockhead, would do whatever Xu Caifeng told him to.

He threw his cigarette butt onto the ground.

Lifting a chair, he then smashed it toward the window.

Xu Caifeng wasn't idle either. She rushed into the kitchen and swept all the dishes and utensils onto the floor, muttering, "You won't help, right? Well, then no one gets to live here."

I've seen unreasonable people before.

But I've never seen anyone this unreasonable.

Chen Fang was at a loss for words.

He just opened the door and said, "Fine then, keep smashing. I won't keep you company."

Following that.

He left right away.

When he returned home in the afternoon, the entire rental was trashed.

It was completely unlivable.

He had planned to move to the new house later, but now it looked like he had to move sooner.

After settling the lease termination with the landlord and paying some compensation, Chen Fang, with his few belongings, moved directly into the model unit at Tiancheng Garden.

When he pushed the door open.

Chen Fang was stunned.

Truthfully, he had never lived in such a nice room in his life.

Moreover, the model unit was fully furnished with all the necessities of life, so it really turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

You think this drama is over?

It wasn't.

Around ten o'clock on Monday morning, while Chen Fang was still in his office reviewing documents, a commotion erupted outside.

He opened the window and looked down.

Chen Fang's blood rushed to his head.

At the entrance of the office building, Xu Caifeng and her family of three were wearing mourning clothes, collapsed on the ground. Especially his aunt, who was sobbing dramatically, "Oh, big brother and sister-in-law, how tragically you died, leaving behind this heartless Ah Fang! Now he's an official, bullying us. Oh big brother and sister-in-law, if you have spirits in heaven, look at what your unfilial son is doing..."

Thump, thump, thump.

A knock on the door sounded.

Before he had a chance to respond.

Liu Guangjie's head peeked in.

He said, "Secretary Chen, Director Lv wants you to come to his office."

Such a headache, really a headache.

Chen Fang had no choice but to begrudgingly walk into Lv Wuzhao's office.

As soon as he entered.

Lv Wuzhao started berating him, "Chen Fang, do you remember what I told you on your first day? I told you to stay out of trouble, stay out of trouble. Can you not understand, or what? I'm giving you three minutes to sort out the situation downstairs. If you can't handle it, don't bother coming back. I'll speak to Mr. Li when he returns."

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Director Lv, I'll handle it, but there's something I don't understand."

"What's that?"

"The family of three is wearing mourning clothes, and the guards at the door are blind? How could they let them in?"

As soon as Chen Fang asked this.

Lv Wuzhao's face stiffened.

He barked like a cornered dog, "How would I know? Are you questioning me? Did you cause this trouble or did I?"

"Fine, I'm going now to deal with it."

Chen Fang turned around and left.

As he walked out of the office, everyone was pointing and whispering, seemingly discussing something.

At that moment, Chen Fang.

Kind of figured things out.

He had thought the whole drama was a coincidence, but it seemed there was more to it.

Arriving downstairs.

Xu Caifeng, seeing Chen Fang, was still acting like a shrew.

Chen Fang squatted down.

He said, "Aunt, stop making a scene. Can I help with the two favors you asked for?"

Xu Caifeng was delighted inside.

With a sobbing voice, she said, "Now there are three favors. Your brother needs a car for his wedding. You have to arrange that, or I'm not leaving even if I die here today."

Chen Fang felt a rage inside him, nearly bursting out.

He turned to look at the building.

Through the window of the County Party Secretary's office, he could vaguely see two figures.

Sure enough, this was all Lv Wuzhao's doing.

At that moment,

Lv Wuzhao and Liu Guangjie were staring intently at Chen Fang downstairs; as Chen Fang turned his head, Liu Guangjie shuddered and took a step back.

"What are you afraid of?"

Lv Wuzhao asked disdainfully.

Liu Guangjie scratched his head and said, "Director, I'm afraid Chen Fang holds grudges, after all, he is Mr. Li's secretary."

"Hold grudges? Does he have the qualifications for that? I'm the top secretary of the County Party Committee, not him. If I let him be the secretary, he can be. If I don't let him, he can't be. Li Duming hates trouble. A person with such a dirty background still wants to be his secretary? Dream on. You watch, after this mess, Chen Fang's reputation in the County Party Committee will stink."

"But Director, what if Chen Fang really helps?"

Liu Guangjie asked with some worry.

A cold smile appeared on Lv Wuzhao's face as he said, "Then perfect, I'll just slap him with an accusation of abusing power for personal gain, and then not only his position as the secretary to the County Party Secretary would be in question, but even keeping his public office would be problematic."

Hearing this,

Liu Guangjie gave Lv Wuzhao a thumbs-up.

Fawning, he said, "High, Director Lv, your move is truly brilliant; Chen Fang must be in a dilemma now."

"Hahaha..."

Watching the drama unfold downstairs,

Lv Wuzhao burst into laughter.

His eyes emitted a sinister light.

Faced with the third condition proposed by Xu Caifeng,

Chen Fang wasn't angry.

Smiling, he asked, "Auntie, do you have any other demands? Just lay them out, and I will take care of them all today."

Xu Caifeng broke into a smile.

She said, "There's also the house; your brother's apartment was mortgaged away, and he has no house to get married in."

"Okay, I'll arrange for a house too. How about a place at Tiancheng Garden?"

Chen Fang asked.

Tiancheng Garden?

That would cost at least a million.

Xu Caifeng asked incredulously, "Really?"

"Of course it's real. Auntie, please get up. Shall I go with you now to get everything sorted out?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Caifeng wiped her nose and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I am absolutely sure. Just come with me now, and I guarantee everything will be arranged immediately."

Chen Fang said, supporting Xu Caifeng's arm.

Although Xu Caifeng was half in doubt, how would she know the truth without giving it a try?

She warned, "Ah Fang, you better not be deceiving me. Otherwise, I'll come here every day to cause a scene."

"No, I said we're going to sort everything out now."

Xu Caifeng and the others stood up.

With Chen Fang's support, they walked out of the County Party Committee compound.

At that moment, a minivan slowly approached them, the body of the vehicle adorned with the words "Tiancheng Garden Viewing Car."

Chen Fang opened the car door.

He said to Xu Caifeng, "Auntie, let's go, I'll arrange for you to view the house right now."

Seeing this car, Xu Caifeng became completely convinced.

About twenty minutes later, the vehicle stopped at the Tiancheng Garden property.

Guided by a beautiful saleswoman,

they entered a show apartment.

This show apartment was more luxurious, better decorated, and larger than Chen Fang's apartment.

As soon as Xu Caifeng walked in, she burst into joyful smiles, the tears and sniffing from earlier completely gone.

"Auntie, are you satisfied with this house?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Caifeng nodded repeatedly, saying, "Satisfied, very satisfied, I'm utterly contented."

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, we are family; we can talk things through calmly. It's really not right for you to collude with outsiders to scam your nephew."

Xu Caifeng was joyfully exploring when she heard this; her smile immediately stiffened.

"Ah Fang, what do you mean? What's this about me colluding with outsiders to scam you?"

Xu Caifeng said somewhat furiously.
