The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Just in an instant.

Chen Fang made a decision.

He opened the car door and got out.

Not far away, Xu Wanwan witnessed the scene.

She immediately walked over.

"Miss Xu, if I had known, I should have worn a suit. You looked so glamorous, and my outfit truly disrespects your status."

Such a sentence.

Filled Xu Wanwan with joy.

She knew that Chen Fang had made a choice, and it was in her favor.

She smiled sweetly.

The trunk was opened.

An exquisite square box appeared in front of Chen Fang.

The box had a luxury brand logo, from a globally renowned suit design company.

A suit like this.

Definitely wouldn't be less than hundreds of thousands.

"For you,"

Xu Wanwan said.

Chen Fang gasped.

He said, "Isn't this way too extravagant?"

"Compared to Mr. Chen's support, I think this price is nothing,"

Xu Wanwan said.

After getting out of the car again.

Chen Fang was already "brand new".

The suit's fit was perfect.

He had an excellent physique and appearance, and coupled with the aura he developed over years in politics.

The suit was like a good horse matched with a good saddle.

Chen Fang appeared "dazzling", and for a moment, Xu Wanwan was a bit dazed.

Her eyes locked onto Chen Fang.

"What? Not good-looking?"

Chen Fang asked puzzledly.

Xu Wanwan's face suddenly flushed as she realized her loss of composure.

She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, very handsome... I mean, very charming... The suit certainly was worth giving."

"Alright, then today I'll borrow Miss Xu's glory and attend a high-end party to broaden my horizons."

After speaking.

The two walked gracefully towards the elevator.

At this moment, Chen Fang didn't know.

In the same parking lot.

Not too far from where they got off.

There was a business vehicle.

Inside sat two people, one was Lin Jie, and the other was also a young man, who, judging by his aura, must also be a second-generation official or wealthy individual.

They were watching Chen Fang and Xu Wanwan's every move.

Once the two disappeared from sight.

The young man let out a long sigh and said to Lin Jie, "Jie, it looks like a failure. That kid Chen Fang was seduced away by Xu Wanwan. You went through all that trouble in vain; you should've had your sister intervene earlier."

Lin Jie's face turned serious.

Suddenly punched the guy next to him, and said fiercely, "Stop talking nonsense."

After getting punched.

The young man didn't learn his lesson.

He rubbed the spot where he was hit.

And sneered, "What's the use of taking it out on me? Can it change the outcome? They're already headed upstairs, if you don't do something soon, it might be too late."

This remark seemed to remind Lin Jie.

He opened the car door.

And got out of the car.

Upon seeing this, the young man asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Jie straightened his clothes in the rearview mirror and said, "I'm going to attend their party too."

"But you weren't invited."

Lin Jie scoffed, "So what? With my face, is there any private party I can't enter?"

Having said that.

He strode towards the elevator.

"Wait for me, I'm coming too..."

The young man hurriedly got out of the car.

And rushed to catch up.

The twentieth floor of the hotel.

In front of a grand double door stood five or six men in black suits, providing security.

Each of these men had lean bodies, vigilant eyes, and earpieces, looking quite professional.

Xu Wanwan, holding Chen Fang's arm, arrived at the entrance.

A security guard proactively approached.

Before he could ask.

Xu Wanwan said with a stern expression, "He's my escort."

The security guard nodded, respectfully, saying, "Miss Xu, according to the rules, I must search him."

Xu Wanwan looked at Chen Fang apologetically.

Chen Fang didn't mind.

He opened his arms directly.

One security guard began checking his clothes, and another person scanned him all over with a metal detector.

His phone was taken out and placed in a box.

Even his watch and pen were confiscated.

The reason for this was to prevent guests from bringing in recording or eavesdropping devices.

This much.

Chen Fang could understand.

After all, those who could attend such banquets were either rich or noble, akin to people living in the "Heavenly Palace."

Their lives were not for ordinary people to see.

A thorough check completed.

Once it was ensured that Chen Fang no longer had prohibited items on him.

He was allowed to proceed.

Just as the two were about to enter.

Suddenly.

A voice came from behind, "Ah Fang..."

Chen Fang turned around abruptly.

Feeling that it was not good.

He saw Lin Jie and an unfamiliar man walking toward him.

Upon seeing Lin Jie.

Xu Wanwan's face turned somewhat displeased.

When he got closer.

Xu Wanwan was the first to strike, saying icily, "Young Master Lin, it seems you aren't on the guest list for tonight's dinner?"

Lin Jie smiled slightly.

And said, "Miss Xu, there's no need to be so sharp with your words. First, you're not the organizer of the dinner, so whether I'm invited is none of your business. Second, all visitors are guests; whether I can enter is my business. Are you feeling guilty and afraid to let me see something, Miss Xu?"

"I think it's you who is guilty?"

Xu Wanwan retorted.

Clearly.

Lin Jie had the upper hand in terms of presence.

Ignoring Xu Wanwan, he looked at Chen Fang, calmly saying, "Ah Fang, could we speak privately?"

"Sure."

Chen Fang didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

He already knew Lin Jie's intentions.

Although he did help him before.

Different stances meant they couldn't be friends.

Some things are better clarified early.

And so.

The two walked to a corner of the corridor.

Just as they stopped.

Lin Jie straightforwardly said, "Mr. Chen, I'm a person who speaks and acts directly, so I won't beat around the bush. I hope you won't attend this banquet."

"Young Master Lin, I've already understood the origin of the matter, and the fact that I'm here means I've made my choice. I hope you won't make things difficult and also thank you for today's help, Young Master Lin."

Since Lin Jie was direct.

Chen Fang decided not to hide his intentions either.

Firmly stated his position.

"You already know?"

Lin Jie was clearly surprised by this outcome.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Yes, I know, and I've given it thorough consideration. I think attending the banquet with Miss Xu is appropriate."

A visible look of disappointment flashed across Lin Jie's face.

He paused and said, "Mayor Chen, name your terms. Whatever Xu Wanwan offered, I, Lin Jie, will double it!"
