The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Cannon mount?

Chen Fang was about to lose it.

He could explain everything else, but how was he supposed to explain the "cannon mount"?

A sudden idea came to him.

He said, "This is also complimenting you. What's a cannon? A lethal weapon. So, a cannon mount is the stand that supports a lethal weapon, meaning you are solid, stable, and profound."

"Oh~ so that's what it means, hehe, I indeed am a natural cannon mount."

Ning Yi said happily.

Chen Fang wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He said, "Come on, let me treat you to some late-night snacks."

"Let me treat you instead."

Ning Yi's mood had clearly improved a lot.

And truthfully, with her baby face coupled with a smile, she looked even more charming.

In an instant, Chen Fang remembered Lan Lv, she also had a baby face, but Lan Lv clearly had more of a cute vibe, the Ning Yi in front of him was more sensuous.

It was like comparing two extremes.

The two sat down at a barbecue stand along the roadside.

Chen Fang was also getting hungry.

He ordered a large portion and added a few bottles of beer.

Leisurely, they started drinking.

Ning Yi didn't stop talking, while eating she complained about the tediousness of her work; according to her, many tasks at the county committee office were futile and many positions were redundant, wholly unnecessary.

"Ning Yi, these things, it's okay to say them in front of me, but please don't say them in the office. Otherwise, it could easily offend people," Chen Fang kindly reminded.

Ning Yi looked puzzled and asked, "Why? Isn't this for the good of the department?"

Chen Fang scratched his head and said, "Let me put it this way, though you speak the truth, truth often hurts people. Aren't you criticizing those who idle and do nothing?"

"But the state's money shouldn't be wasted on these useless people, right?" Ning Yi asked, eyes wide.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. Let me give you an example, like today, Lin Mang was clearly giving me a hard time, he is your direct superior, and if you say you're going to help me, that's like slapping his face. He definitely won't be pleased and will make things difficult for you. It's called 'the shot hits the bird that sticks its head out,' understand?"

"I don't understand. I'm using my private time to help. What does it have to do with him?" Ning Yi said.

Chen Fang sighed, how could this girl, with such a personality, work within the system?

Wasn't this just like throwing a piece of jade into dirty water?

He was just about to change the subject.

Just then, a drunk man from the next table stood up.

He staggered over.

He took a seat beside their table.

He said to Ning Yi, "Little sister, how about having a drink with me?"

As soon as he said that,

the other three people at the next table started hooting with laughter.

"Not interested, I don't like to drink, you better drink less too."

Ning Yi took a bite of her skewer and replied in a very innocent tone.

The drunk man was baffled by her response.

After a moment, he said, "Then will you join us for some food?"

Ning Yi waved her hand and said, "Thanks, but I have more than enough here that I can't finish, so I won't join you guys. You go ahead."

Damn.

What's this situation?

Most women would normally get angry seeing this.

But not only was there not a hint of anger on Ning Yi's face, she even gave off a sense of politeness.

This was like punching cotton.

Chen Fang couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

With a slap,

the drunk man slapped the table and roared at Chen Fang, "What the hell are you laughing at?"

"What? Can't I even laugh now? Is it wrong if I laugh at you being a dumbass?"

Chen Fang retorted.

The drunk, provoked by his words, abruptly stood up, gripping his beer bottle and barked, "Who the hell are you calling a dumbass?"

"I'm calling the guy in front of me a dumbass," Chen Fang replied.

The drunk got angrier and yelled, "The guy in front of you is the dumbass, the whole family of the guy in front of you are dumbasses."

"Hahahaha..."

With that roar.

Even Ning Yi couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, falling forwards and backwards.

Her ample bosom also bounced up and down with her laughter.

The drunk seemed to realize he had misspoken and, in a fit of embarrassed rage, swung a beer bottle at Chen Fang. Chen Fang, sitting still, simply dodged his head to the side, and the bottle smashed on the ground.

The attack missed.

Which only fueled his anger more.

He put both hands on the edge of the table, intending to flip it over.

Chen Fang was already prepared.

With one foot, he hooked the corner of the table, and with his other hand pressed on the table edge, the drunk tried several times but couldn't budge the table at all.

At this moment, he seemed to have suffered a great humiliation.

He turned to his comrades who were enjoying the show and yelled, "Get your asses over here and help me, what are you waiting for?"

The other three heard this.

And they too got up.

Everyone holding a beer bottle, they suddenly surrounded Chen Fang and Ning Yi in the middle.

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

The man who had been splashing around asked.

Chen Fang looked at him disdainfully and asked, "What, you forgot? Or didn't your mom tell you who you are?"

"Hahaha..."

Ning Yi was entertained and laughed again.

The drunk's face had grown incredibly ugly.

But he still tried to act tough, pointing at Chen Fang and shouting, "I'm giving you a chance. Apologize now and leave this chick to keep us company for drinks, and I'll let you off the hook."

"What if I don't want this chance?"

Chen Fang asked coldly.

"Then you're asking for death!"

The drunk bellowed.

He gestured with his eyes to the others.

Almost simultaneously, they charged at Chen Fang with their bottles raised.

Chen Fang still remained seated without moving.

He pushed his legs back.

Moving himself and the chair back by half a meter.

He lifted his foot and kicked the first man in the chest.

Poor guy, he flew away like a kite with its string cut.

By then, the second man had reached him.

Just as a beer bottle was about to smash onto his head, Chen Fang spun around the chair as the pivot, swung his leg sideways, and kicked the man in the waist. The man screamed in pain and was also flung aside, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The third man had also approached.

Chen Fang didn't move, but merely raised his hand in a feint, scaring the guy into retreating a step and daring not to make another move.

The drunk realized Chen Fang was skilled.

He gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, he had a dagger in his hand, pressing it against Ning Yi's face, he roared, "Stop it or I'll slice her face!"

Just moments before, they were cheering.

Now, with the glaring dagger right in front of them, Ning Yi was clearly frightened.

She looked pitifully at Chen Fang.

Chen Fang felt a rush of nervousness.

If Ning Yi were really hurt, his guilt would be immense.

Just as he was about to speak to defuse the situation, suddenly, a young man in a black suit got out of a car parked at the roadside. He casually picked up a beer bottle from a nearby table and hurled it at the drunk.

It hit its mark perfectly.

The beer bottle struck the drunk right in the temple.

With a thud,

the drunk collapsed to the ground.

The four men still wanted to struggle, just as they were getting up.

Several more in black suits appeared, pinning them straight to the ground.

By the car, an elderly man had appeared, seemingly around seventy, with white hair and dressed simply.

But his presence was anything but ordinary.

Even standing there, he exuded an aura of commanding authority, clearly a significant figure.

"Mr. Ning? How should we deal with these people?"

The first man in black who got out of the car asked.

The old man's eyes darkened, and he said, "Give them a good beating in a quiet corner, then inform the police to take them away!"
