Li Duming, though filled with resentnt, knew he couldn't stand against everyone on his own.
At this very mont, he was experiencing the biggest defeat of his official career.
Even then, he vaguely had an idea in his mind.
If he couldn't save Chen Fang, he was ready to resign.
After all, he never had any talent for navigating the corridors of power.
Little did he know, this was exactly what Sun Shenru wanted to see.
"County Magistrate Sun, may I say a few words?"
Suddenly, Chen Fang said to Sun Shenru.
Sun Shenru looked at Chen Fang with disdain and replied, "This is the standing committee, you don't have the right to speak, but I don't mind letting you say a few words."
Since it was an overwhelming situation.
Sun Shenru didn't care anymore.
He crossed his arms, looking at Chen Fang, curious to hear what he was going to say.
Chen Fang paused before saying, "County Magistrate Sun, you're an idiot."
As soon as he said this.
Everyone's eyes went wide.
Sun Shenru couldn't react in ti.
Incredulously, he asked, "What did you say?"
"I said, you—Sun Shenru—are a big idiot."
Chen Fang repeated himself.
Slap!
An Tai was the first to jump up.
He slapped the table and pointed at Chen Fang, angrily saying, "Chen Fang, this is the standing committee, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"You're also an idiot."
Chen Fang said without a change in his expression.
A minor character like him could curse freely.
But the other officials present, all leaders of the county committee, couldn't afford to be as crude as Chen Fang without losing their image.
An Tai wanted to curse back.
But thinking of his position, he held back.
His face turned red with anger as he said, "Have the guts to say that again."
"What if I say it again? You, An Tai, are an idiot, fuck your mother, fuck your whole family, so what? Are you going to bite ?"
"Rude, so incredibly rude, simply showing no respect for the leaders, no respect for the organization, such a person must be expelled, expelled imdiately!"
An Tai was fuming, smoke practically coming out of his nostrils.
Helpless aside from saying such words, he couldn't do anything else.
"Comrade Chen Fang, this is the standing committee, not a place where you can say whatever you wish, please respect this occasion, and respect all the leaders present," said Sun Qianguo, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, unable to watch any longer, as he tapped on the table.
Chen Fang scoffed and asked, "What's the matter? You bunch of sons of bitches are going to expel , and I should still smile at you, be grateful to you for the expulsion? Dressed in suits and ties, looking like leaders, and what do you do besides eat and drink? Sun Shenru offers you so favors, and you lick his boots like dogs. Do you have any dignity, any bottom line for being a human being?"
Faced with Chen Fang's scolding.
This whole group of people.
Except for Xing Yu, who was bending his head, covering his mouth, and laughing secretly, everyone else was so angry they wanted to slap Chen Fang.
But they didn't dare.
The mont they slapped him.
If Chen Fang played the rascal, they would be the ones in trouble.
"Comrade Chen Fang, you better think about the consequences of insulting people," said Sun Shenru, his face gloomy with warning in his tone, who had been full of smugness just monts ago but now felt almost depressed after being cursed by Chen Fang.
Chen Fang laughed and moved closer to Sun Shenru, saying, "What consequences, County Magistrate Sun? Insulting people isn't against the law, right? You control the standing committee with absurd accusations to expel , so what if I curse you? I don't just curse you, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations..."
At this mont.
Physical attacks had beco ineffective.
Chen Fang had begun to use "magic."
And let this group of people fully experience the frustration that even a Scholar faced with soldiers cannot reason clearly.
"I agree to imdiately expel Comrade Chen Fang from his position as the head of the county committee office secretariat."
Watching Chen Fang, who was firing like a machine gun.
An Tai finally couldn't hold back anymore.
He was the first to raise his hand and shout out.
Sun Qianguo, also cursed, with nowhere to vent his anger, quickly raised his hand too and shouted, "I agree as well."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
...
The others also raised their hands one after another.
Except for the position of the Organization Departnt Minister, which hasn't been filled yet.
Among the ten standing committee mbers present, eight of them raised their hands imdiately.
Needless to say, the outco was already determined.
Watching everyone raise their hands, Sun Shenru looked at Chen Fang with disdain and said, "You've won the war of words, but what of it? Can it change the result? Once you step out of this door today, you're nothing."
After saying that.
His gaze then fell upon Li Duming, seemingly as a threatening gesture, he snickered and announced, "Considering everyone's opinion, I hereby declare Comrade Chen Fang——"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Clang!
The door of the eting room was pushed open.
Jin Zhan rushed in, looking flustered.
He went straight to Sun Shenru's ear and whispered a few words.
Sun Shenru's eyes suddenly widened.
He asked nervously, "When? Where?"
Jin Zhan quickly replied, "They've already entered, and they're heading straight for the eting room."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Sun Shenru was imdiately stunned.
He paused for a mont, then suddenly stood up.
Before he had a chance to leave his seat, two n in black suits walked in and fully opened the door of the eting room, which previously only had one door open.
An ordinary-dressed elderly man with slightly graying hair in his sixties or seventies appeared at the doorway.
Chen Fang was montarily stunned.
Wasn't this old man before him Ning Yi's grandfather, Elder Ning?
Just as he was about to greet him.
Whoosh! All ten standing committee mbers present stood up at once, each looking quite nervous.
"Elder Ning, what brings you here?"
Before Li Duming had a chance to react, Sun Shenru was the first to co to his senses, approaching with a face full of flattery and bowed to greet him.
The others didn't dare to neglect and left their seats one after another, surrounding the elder in the middle. Each one of them appeared enthusiastic, as if eting the God of Wealth himself.
No, even eting the God of Wealth probably wouldn't elicit such flattery.
"Hehe, are you all in a eting? I haven't disturbed you, have I?" the elder asked with a smile on his face.
Sun Shenru hurriedly said, "Not at all, not at all. If Elder Ning is here, we would stop even the biggest of etings. Elder Ning, please, let take you to my office to sit."
Sun Shenru extended a hand, gesturing a "please" position.
Elder Ning waved his hand and said, "You continue your eting, I'm not here to see you."
Having said that.
His eyes wandered among the crowd.
After scanning the room, his gaze fell on Chen Fang. He quickly waved at Chen Fang and said, "Ah Fang, co here, co to your grandfather."
Chen Fang was also sowhat baffled.
Could this elderly man truly have co for him?
Hearing the elder call out Ah Fang.
Everyone present was taken aback.
Sun Shenru's eyes nearly popped out in shock.
"Elder Ning, what brings you here?" Chen Fang asked.
Elder Ning took his hand with a hearty laugh in front of everyone and said, "What, can't I miss you?"
The simple phrase.
Once again sent chills down everyone's spine.
Elder Ning actually said to Chen Fang that he missed him. How could that be possible?
Upon hearing this, Sun Shenru's expression turned even uglier, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of his throat.
"Elder Ning, I'm still in a eting. Could you wait outside for a mont? I'll co to you as soon as the eting is over?" Chen Fang asked.
How disrespectful!
Utterly disrespectful!
Chen Fang actually suggested that Elder Ning wait outside.
Faces filled with panic appeared, and so committee mbers even started to tremble.
Elder Ning's face darkened upon hearing this, and he turned to Li Duming who was squeezed at the back, saying, "Duming, I'm taking Ah Fang with . Do you have any objections?"
"No objections, no objections at all. Elder Ning, you decide," replied Li Duming, his hands flailing in fear.
Elder Ning once again grabbed Chen Fang's hand and said, "Let's go, your leader has agreed."
