The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

After returning to Xiaxiang City.

Chen Fang spent three days completing the work handover.

Leaving this time, there wasn't much that Chen Fang couldn't let go of.

The only regret was that the revenge for his parents and Tan Yandong had not yet been fulfilled.

However, he was not discouraged.

There was still a significant gap between himself and Jiang Chuo, making it unrealistic to fulfill his great wish for revenge under such circumstances.

This trip to Jiuhai Province was both an opportunity and a challenge for him.

The opportunity was that if he could establish himself in Jiuhai Province, there was still hope to move forward once Shangguan Shoudong took office.

Needless to say, there were challenges.

The "remnants" left by the Hou Family also needed to be thoroughly cleared.

Otherwise, these people would be future major threats.

According to the plan.

Chen Fang planned to first accompany Zhong Xiqian on a trip back to Yong'an Province.

It had been over half a year since he last saw the child.

He truly missed them a bit.

Then, he would head from Yong'an Province to Jiuhai Province to take up his post.

After all, the two provinces were adjacent, making it more convenient to travel by land.

In the days leading up to the work handover.

Chen Fang said goodbye to everyone, one by one.

Especially to people like Xu Lianyun, Li Weiyang, and Su Lu'an, who had come from other places to Xiaxiang City to help him.

The night before departure.

Chen Fang took a leave with Zhong Xiqian.

At eight o'clock in the evening.

He took a taxi to Yunshang Palace.

Just like before.

Hearing he was coming, Yiyi was already waiting for him at the door.

Unlike usual, today Yiyi wasn't dressed provocatively; instead, she was wearing a women's suit, looking very dashing.

"I think you look better dressed this way."

Chen Fang complimented her with a thumbs-up.

Yiyi blushed.

She said to Chen Fang, "Brother Fang, thank you. President Shen has already promoted me to front hall manager. I think if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Chen Fang patted her on the shoulder and said, "No need to thank me. You deserve all of this. Work hard, and if we meet again, I hope you'll be doing even better."

Yiyi nodded earnestly.

She said, "Brother Fang, I also hope you will be better."

With that.

Led by Yiyi.

Chen Fang took the elevator.

As he exited the elevator, a fragrant scent hit his nose.

The scene before him pleasantly surprised Chen Fang.

The once empty corridor was now lined with flower stands.

Each stand held a variety of flower vases.

Each vase was filled with fresh flowers, looking very beautiful.

"Miss asked us to place these, she said it would make people feel more cheerful."

Shen Zhi said, having appeared behind him without him knowing.

"Where's Qingyao?"

Chen Fang asked.

Shen Zhi smiled slightly, pointed to the office door, and then turned and left.

Chen Fang reached the door.

He found it ajar.

Pushing it open, the scene before him was even more eye-catching.

The large, once empty office was now full of various furnishings.

However, unlike other bosses' office styles.

The room's overall design was predominantly pink.

Pink sofas, pink bookshelves, even the walls were painted pink.

It was like a fairytale princess castle.

Many corners were filled with various dolls and LEGO toys; those who didn't know might think they had intruded into a young girl's boudoir.

In the center.

Guan Qingyao stood there in a dress.

Compared to her usual lazy, casual style, she looked even more beautiful today.

Like Snow White walking out of a Western fairyland.

"When my parents were alive, they liked to dress me up like a princess. I also had a princess dream since I was a child, but after the incident, these things I once loved never appeared in my room again. Now it's better; I avenged them, and I can finally return to a normal life in peace. Chen Fang, thank you."

Guan Qingyao spoke to Chen Fang with some emotion.

Chen Fang waved his hand.

He said, "You don't need to thank me. I was able to stay in Xiaxiang City thanks to you. If it weren't for you, none of the later events would have happened. You are the greatest contributor in this matter. Uncle and Auntie can rest in peace with this knowledge."

These words.

Deeply moved Guan Qingyao.

Her eyes turned slightly moist for a moment.

Suddenly feeling this wasn't right.

She wiped her tears.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "I heard you're leaving tomorrow, right?"

Chen Fang nodded.

He said, "An army base maintains its shape while the soldiers come and go. I am like a revolutionary brick, moving wherever I'm needed. I've gotten used to it over the years."

"Then let's have a drink."

Guan Qingyao walked to a dining table on the side.

It was already filled with food.

And in the center of the table, there was a bottle of red wine.

"Can you drink?"

Chen Fang asked.

Guan Qingyao confidently patted her chest and said, "After your treatment, I'm much better. I asked the doctor, and they said a small glass is fine."

"Alright then, let's have a drink to send you off."

After speaking, Chen Fang.

Picked up the wine bottle and poured each of them a small glass.

They both lifted their glasses, clinked them together, and drank it in one gulp.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought red wine would taste so good. I often saw customers downstairs toasting but had never tried it before. I kind of like this taste now."

Guan Qingyao shook the empty wine glass and said.

"Wow, you have quite a good tolerance for alcohol. It's your first time drinking, and you already downed it in one. Once you've recovered, you'll surely be a great drinker, hahaha..."

Chen Fang teased.

Guan Qingyao laughed along with him.

But as they laughed, tears started to fall.

She didn't want Chen Fang to see that.

She suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go to the rooftop and look at the moon? Today's the sixteenth, the day the moon is the roundest in the month."

Chen Fang didn't want to dampen her spirits.

He nodded and agreed.

The two went up to the rooftop together.

Although it was night.

Everything still felt so familiar.

Chen Fang remembered that it was initially on the rooftop that he treated Guan Qingyao.

And it was here that he suddenly realized the way to treat this condition.

As Guan Qingyao said.

Tonight's moon was indeed bright and round.

It was like a disk hanging in midair.

The two sat down together on the steps.

Guan Qingyao rested her head on Chen Fang's shoulder, and it all seemed so beautiful.

"Do you think Chang'e feels lonely on the moon?"

Guan Qingyao suddenly asked.

Even though it's a childish question.

Chen Fang still smiled and said, "No, because she has the Jade Rabbit with her."

"But the Jade Rabbit can't talk to her, can it?"

"Isn't Wu Gang there chopping trees with her? They can chat."

Chen Fang said.

At this moment.

Guan Qingyao sighed and said, "Yes, Chang'e has Wu Gang with her, but where is my Wu Gang?"
