The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

For others, both pieces of news were quite shocking, but to Chen Fang, they weren't surprising at all.

First was Mei Shikang going mad.

This guy had been pampered from a young age, being an only child cherished by his parents.

After entering society, with the shelter of his parents, his career was smooth sailing, he had never really suffered any hardship.

After he got to the Bureau of Work Safety.

Unreasonably, he had always suppressed Bureau Chief He Duo's presence.

Officially, he was the deputy director.

But in terms of authority, it was all up to him to call the shots.

In his eyes, Chen Fang was on a completely different level.

But what was the outcome?

He had repeatedly been thwarted by Chen Fang, suffering continuous heavy blows; it would be normal for him to doubt his life.

As for his own transfer from the Bureau of Work Safety.

It was proposed by Xu Lianyun.

There were two reasons.

The first was that although Zhao Shoujiang had been dealt with, after his years of operation in Changming County and his support for many people, now that he had fallen, his direct followers had all been affected and would definitely trouble Chen Fang.

But this wasn't the most important.

The most important was the second reason.

That was Mei Shikang's parents.

Mei Jun was a city leader, and Zhao Shuhua was the County Deputy Secretary of Dongli County.

Since they doted on their son so much, seeing him become like this, it was impossible for them not to take action.

Moving Chen Fang to Fuguang Town was to temporarily avoid the spotlight.

Moreover, experiencing life in towns and townships was also to lay the groundwork for Chen Fang to ascend to an even higher position.

It was a good thing, Chen Fang had no reason not to accept.

As for the work at the Bureau of Work Safety, it would be temporarily handled by Wang Qin.

With the departure of both deputy directors, it also provided Wang Qin with an opportunity, and with her previous achievements, securing the position of deputy director should not be an issue.

On the very day that Chen Fang received his transfer order.

A car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Tiancheng Group's headquarters building, a car that did not seem very high-end.

Seeing this, the security guard came out.

Immediately approached, knocked on the car window, and said, "You can't park here, move along quickly."

The car window slowly rolled down.

A driver wearing sunglasses appeared.

The driver, unhurried.

Took something similar to a business card from his pocket and handed it to the security guard.

The security guard took the card and glanced at it.

Beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

He hurriedly said, "Please wait, I'll go notify General Manager Zhang right away."

About five minutes later.

Zhang Cheng showed up at the entrance, rushing.

At this point, the driver with sunglasses got out of the vehicle, opened the back door, and said, "General Manager Zhang, our leader invites you to get in the car."

Zhang Cheng was a significant figure.

In Changming County, he was known for being fearless, not even giving County Party Secretary Li Duming a second look.

But now, he obediently got into the car with a nod and a bow.

The car slowly began to move.

Cruising unhurried through the streets of Changming County.

Sitting next to Zhang Cheng was a pudgy man, around fifty years old, somewhat balding, and during the drive, he was silent, just staring out the window, while Zhang Cheng felt his palms starting to sweat.

"Leader, what brings you here in person? Just a call, and I'd have come to visit you," said Zhang Cheng, trembling with trepidation.

"Do you know someone named Chen Fang?" the man asked, still looking out the window.

Chen Fang?

Zhang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly nodded, saying, "I...I know him, we've met once."

"There's something he has that I want, help me find it."

"What is it?"

"A notebook, with a black cover, left by Tan Yandong."

"Alright, I'll send people to get it immediately."

Having said that, Zhang Cheng reached for his phone.

The man coughed lightly and said, "Don't use force. I don't want to attract anyone's attention. It should be done without anyone noticing, making a fuss isn't good."

Zhang Cheng fell silent for a moment.

He said, "Don't worry, Leader, I'll handle it."

The man said nothing more.

He just reached out and knocked on the driver's seat.

The driver with sunglasses then slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

"You can walk back on your own, I won't be giving you a ride."

The man said coldly.

"Understood, Leader."

Zhang Cheng obediently opened the car door and got out.

The car didn't linger at all and quickly disappeared at the intersection.

How could Chen Fang be involved with him?

Although Zhang Cheng had many questions, he didn't dare to ask.

He paused, took out his phone, and made a call.

"Xixi, there's something I need your help with..."

After finishing the call.

Zhang Cheng exhaled deeply.

Only then did he realize that his entire back was drenched with sweat.

Two mornings later.

Chen Fang pushed a suitcase out of the bedroom.

As soon as he reached the living room, he saw Song Lanre with a backpack on, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Fang asked.

Song Lanre said, "You're going to Fuguang Town, and I'm coming with you. You're a stranger there; you need someone to look after you."

Chen Fang smiled.

He walked over to Song Lanre and kissed her on the forehead.

He said, "You said it yourself, I'm a stranger there. This trip, I'm likely to be staying in a dormitory, and there is no place to accommodate you. Stay here for now, and look after the house for me."

"I can find a place to stay on my own, I definitely won't be a burden to you."

Song Lanre said, sounding a bit anxious.

"I know, but this trip really isn't convenient. Once I'm settled over there, you can come too. It won't be too late."

Although Song Lanre felt aggrieved.

She was still sensible.

She took off the backpack.

She said, "Master, wait a moment, Lanre has a gift for you."

"A gift? What gift?"

Chen Fang asked.

Lanre dashed into the bedroom, after about two minutes.

She came out again.

The Lanre who reappeared was completely different from before.

All she wore was a bright red silk nightgown.

The fabric was very sheer.

The view beneath was almost entirely exposed.

"Is this the gift you mentioned?"

Chen Fang swallowed and asked.

Lanre tiptoed, took light steps toward Chen Fang, and said in a coquettish voice, "Master, Lanre doesn't have much to offer you, so I'll see you off with my body..."

Having said that.

She slowly squatted down and began to unbuckle Chen Fang's belt.

Early in the morning, who could resist such temptation.

Chen Fang scooped Lanre up in his arms and said, "Alright, then before I leave, I'll leave you with some gifts too."

He turned and went into the bedroom.

Before long, the sounds of two people enjoying a 'ride' echoed from inside.

By the end of it, it was nine o'clock.

If he didn't leave now, he would miss the bus.

Chen Fang gave Lanre another deep kiss, and left with great reluctance.

He hurried down to the ground floor.

Only to see a black SUV parked at the entrance of the community.

Fang Gui in black clothing stood by the car with a big grin, waving at him.

"How did you guys get here?"

Chen Fang asked, puzzled.

Fang Gui said, "Sister said we're to escort you to Fuguang Town."

Only then did Chen Fang notice that the driver was Fang Mei.

"Escort me? Didn't I give you back to Zhang Cheng?"

Chen Fang asked.

Chen Fang had initially asked the two to come over to protect Zhao Xixi. Now that Zhao Xixi was safe, they were no longer needed.

So, he sent them back.

"What? Your two sisters personally escorting you and you're not willing?"

Fang Mei from the driver's seat asked.

"Of course, I'm willing. Why wouldn't I be? Men and women working together, the work won't be exhausting. It's almost a two-hour trip to Fuguang Town. With your company, naturally, I'm willing."

Chen Fang said.

Then, he opened the car door and climbed in.
