The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Yes, you're not seeing things, it's three women.

I've seen players, but never one playing like this.

When Chen Fang and the disciplinary inspection team burst into the room,

three women were stacked on the bed while Tang Weiping, with tools in hand, was picking his target.

Such a scene,

also shocked the officials of the disciplinary inspection team.

The sudden intrusion of so many people,

only startled Tang Weiping for a moment.

Then he acted quite normally,

wrapped a towel around himself,

sat on the nearby sofa, crossed his legs, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

"What, Director Wang, has the disciplinary inspection team come down on me?"

Facing Wang Qin, Tang Weiping displayed disdain.

"Tang Weiping, show some respect,"

Wang Qin exclaimed angrily.

Tang Weiping sneered, saying, "Respect? Respect is mutual, not that I look down on you, Wang Qin, even if you are an agency leader, you can't touch me."

"What about me?"

Chen Fang, who had been silent behind the crowd, had no choice but to show himself now.

Seeing Tang Weiping so arrogant,

he had to make an appearance.

"Who do you think you are?"

At that moment, Tang Weiping had no idea that such an operation could have been initiated by Chen Fang.

Chen Fang sauntered to the front,

and said, "I'm neither onion nor garlic; my name is Chen Fang."

Chen Fang?

Hearing this name, the previously composed Tang Weiping shivered, dropping the long ash of his cigarette onto the towel.

He looked incredulously at Chen Fang.

Suddenly, he laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chen Fang asked.

Tang Weiping put out his cigarette and said, "I was saying the folks from the disciplinary inspection team must be really bored, coming to bother me, and turns out, it's Director Chen's brilliant move. Wonderful, really wonderful. It seems Director Chen has quite some guts, using his first day to take a swing at me, Tang Weiping?"

To speak like this to a deputy director,

meant Tang Weiping felt confident.

He reached for another cigarette.

Just as he was about to light it,

he seemed to remember something,

and said, "Director Chen doesn't think this little trick will take me down, does he? Everyone in the department knows I've been divorced. Sleeping with women isn't illegal, is it?"

"Of course it's not illegal; Chief Tang is full of vitality. But, we didn't come here for that,"

Hearing this,

Tang Weiping's action of lighting his cigarette stopped.

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "Chief Tang should remember Lu Mingxian, right?"

As soon as the name Lu Mingxian was mentioned,

Tang Weiping tensed.

He then regained his composure and said, "Know him? Of course. Isn't he the one who failed the electrician's certification three times and then caused a scene at our unit?"

"Then Chief Tang should also know that he was beaten up, right?"

"Whether he was beaten or not, what does that have to do with me, it's ridiculous,"

Tang Weiping said.

Chen Fang nodded.

and said, "Chief Tang's perspective is truly remarkable, just not sure if those who paid to get their certificates have as strong a mentality as Chief Tang?"

That statement, rightly hit the mark.

Tang Weiping suddenly stood up,

and violently smashed his cigarette on the floor,

pointing at Chen Fang he yelled, "Chen Fang, you take away my deputy director position and now you want to mess with me? You really think I'm scared of you?"

"Director Wang, take him away; whatever you have to say, say it at the disciplinary inspection department,"

Chen Fang didn't want to waste words.

He had directly issued the arrest order.

Several members of the discipline inspection team surged forward and restrained Tang Weiping.

Faced with such a situation,

Tang Weiping remained defiant.

He cursed at Chen Fang loudly, uttering all sorts of unpleasant words.

Just as everyone was dragging Tang Weiping towards the room's door, a sudden coughing sound came from the doorway.

Then, an authoritative voice asked, "I'd like to see who dares take him away?"

At the door,

stood a man, unnoticed until now.

A man about Chen Fang's age.

With slicked-back hair and wearing a bureaucratic jacket. Though a bit shorter than Chen Fang, he carried an aura of authority seasoned by years in government.

The people who had been holding Tang Weiping immediately let go of him.

"Who could this be? It turns out to be Director Chen. Director Chen sure has drastic measures, huh? You haven't taken office yet, and you're already stirring up a major commotion?"

The speaker was none other than Mei Shikang.

Seeing Mei Shikang arrive suddenly,

Chen Fang immediately understood something.

It looks like Wang Qin wasn't reliable after all.

"Ah, Director Mei, huh? Wow, that's strange, was Director Mei also in the next room?"

As soon as Chen Fang asked this,

Mei Shikang's expression turned unsightly.

His sudden arrival meant either someone had secretly informed him, or he was nearby.

If he was just in the next room, didn't that imply he was also indulging in women like Tang Weiping?

"I was just passing by, saw our Safety Supervision Department's car, and came to check."

Mei Shikang reacted quickly.

Chen Fang nodded and said, "Oh, it's good that Director Mei is here. In our department, someone is trafficking in special industry qualifications. What do you think we should do about this?"

"Oh? Really? Director Chen, this is a serious matter. Do you have evidence?"

Mei Shikang asked.

Chen Fang smiled faintly.

He took three exam results of Lu Mingxian from Lan Lv and handed them over.

Just as he was about to explain the whole situation,

Mei Shikang, at the moment he received the papers, tore them up with a swift rip.

Lan Lv was frantic.

She tried to snatch them back, but Chen Fang stopped her.

Mei Shikang then took a lighter from his pocket and, as if no one else was present, set the torn papers on fire.

He then tossed them directly into the restroom next to the main door.

He clapped his hands and asked Chen Fang, "Where's the evidence?"

What a guy.

I've seen shameless, but never this shameless.

The deputy director of the Safety Supervision Department had destroyed the evidence right in front of everyone, utterly shocking Chen Fang's sense of right and wrong.

"Right, where's the evidence? Where's the evidence you mentioned?"

This move by Mei Shikang.

Instantly emboldened Tang Weiping.

He pointed at Chen Fang and started shouting,

"He burned the evidence!"

Lan Lv yelled out angrily.

Mei Shikang grinned and asked, "I burned the evidence? Who saw it? Did any of you see it?"

He directed his question at the people from the Safety Supervision Department in the room; although they had all seen it, none dared reply. They each lowered their heads.

Mei Shikang snorted coldly and said, "See? No one saw me destroy the evidence. Young lady, you shouldn't falsely accuse people."

Lan Lv was furious.

She was practically steaming with anger.

"Very well, Director Mei. Truly impressive," Chen remarked.

Hearing Chen Fang say this,

Mei Shikang thought he had backed down and was quite satisfied.

He scoffed disdainfully,

and said, "Director Chen, since you've come to our Safety Supervision Department, you should abide by our rules here. I, Mei Shikang, don't like troublemakers. No matter if you were a dragon or a phoenix before, now that you've entered my domain, you need to behave yourself. Otherwise, you really won't last long in this place."
