Once again, applause thundered.
Uniform, seemingly very orderly.
Sun Dongning waved again.
The applause almost stopped instantly.
Chen Fang could see that this scene wasn't sothing achieved with one or two short-term trainings; it indicated that for a long ti in Lijiang Province, Sun Dongning had been this commanding.
After a grandiose speech.
Next, it would surely be Chen Fang's turn to speak.
However.
Sun Dongning shifted his tone.
He said, "The second issue is about the matter concerning Yang Yufeng. With this matter, I suppose you all have heard, even without my ntioning it. The central governnt has already sent a docunt, requesting us to thoroughly investigate the issues with Yang Yufeng. Here, I represent the Lijiang Provincial Committee and Governnt in expressing a firm support for the central governnt's decision. Therefore, we are establishing an investigation team for the Yang Yufeng case. Governor Chen, how about you serve as the team leader?"
Chen Fang was taken aback.
This was sothing he hadn't anticipated.
Regarding Yang Yufeng's case, all the clues currently pointed towards Sun Dongning.
He had thought Sun Dongning would surely appoint one of his confidants to handle it.
Unexpectedly, he handed it to him; it was sowhat unbelievable.
"Since Secretary Sun trusts , I will certainly undertake it without hesitation."
Chen Fang sighed deeply as he spoke.
Sun Dongning slapped the table and said, "Alright. Since Governor Chen is willing to take it on, we will certainly give full cooperation. Li Dan!"
He shouted towards the audience.
Li Dan then stood up.
"Director Li, I appoint you as the deputy team leader of the investigation team. From now on, you will be responsible for coordinating all personnel and resources needed for Governor Chen's investigation. If Governor Chen informs of any negligence on your part, the result you just saw for Zhuang Guangqiang will be your result. Understood?"
Li Dan nodded and said, "Rest assured, Secretary Sun, I will follow Governor Chen's arrangents."
"Governor Chen, is there anything else you'd like to say? If not, we will adjourn the eting?"
It sounded as if he was seeking Chen Fang's opinion.
In reality.
He had already closed the notebook in front of him.
His body was also standing up.
He was telling Chen Fang—if I allow you to speak, you can speak; if I don't, you can't, no matter how much you wish to.
Having seen through the situation, Chen Fang.
Would naturally not be foolish enough to oppose him.
Smiling, he said, "I have nothing else to say, let's adjourn."
Just like that.
An alleged appointnt eting swiftly turned into Sun Dongning's showcase.
If at the consulate entrance, he only got a taste of Sun Dongning's assertiveness, today's eting displayed Sun Dongning's authority to him.
He now understood why previous two governors in Lijiang Province had no say.
In front of soone like Sun Dongning, who had the capability to compete with him?
If it were Chen Fang from a few years ago.
He probably wouldn't have been able to resist confronting him.
But after so many years, having seen so much, encountered so many matters, he learned to be patient.
Just as he returned to his office.
Li Dan followed him inside.
Placing a file folder in front of him, he said, "Governor Chen, here's a list of secretaries prepared by the Organization Departnt for your review."
Seeing the folder.
Chen Fang's heart sank.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng ca to his mind.
These years.
He had always been accompanied by Jiang Feng, and suddenly, there was to be a new secretary. For so reason, he felt a slight sadness.
He casually opened the folder.
Originally assud there would be several candidates inside.
As per the usual procedure.
To his surprise, the folder contained information on just one person.
Shi Shihai, male, 31 years old, currently serving as a deputy section-level cadre in the Provincial Committee's General Office.
In the photo.
The individual wore glasses, appearing refined and cultured.
"Is there no one else?"
Chen Fang glanced through and asked.
Li Dan smiled slightly.
Said, "Governor Chen, comrade Shihai has considerable abilities; we've thoroughly evaluated him and found no issues in all aspects. Having him serve as your secretary is considered suitable by all."
Chen Fang casually tossed the folder.
Said, "Let's delay this matter; there's no hurry. First, find out the basic information on Yang Yufeng and set up the investigation team."
Unexpectedly.
Li Dan did not follow his instructions.
Instead, he pushed the discarded folder back in front of Chen Fang, saying, "Governor Chen, the secretary position is very important, so I really hope you can make a decision now so I can plan the next steps. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, comrade Shihai was personally selected by Secretary Sun, so I think it's better for you to sign it now."
Buzz!
Chen Fang trembled a bit.
What did Li Dan an by this?
This was telling Chen Fang.
Your secretary from now on will be Shi Shihai; he couldn't possibly be anyone else. Sun Dongning's arrangent is sothing you have to follow, whether you want to or not.
This wasn't negotiation, it was outright order.
"What if I don't want to use him?"
Chen Fang asked.
Li Dan chuckled.
He said, "Governor Chen, you really know how to joke, how could you not use him?"
Another blunt threat.
Chen Fang pondered for a mont.
Nodded and said, "Fine, then have him co over now and let have a look at him."
Thinking Chen Fang had compromised.
Li Dan smiled knowingly.
Replying, "Alright, Governor Chen, please wait. I'll bring him over now."
As he closed the door and left, Li Dan smirked contemptuously, thinking, this is supposed to be a difficult person to handle; turns out, he is nothing special.
In just about five or six minutes.
A young man, led by Li Dan, entered the office.
"Governor Chen, I've brought Comrade Shihai."
Li Dan said.
Chen Fang raised his head and glanced, admitting that Shi Shihai had decent looks; however, his disdain was evident in his eyes—nothing resembling the respect a secretary should have towards a governor.
"Hello, Governor Chen. I am Shi Shihai. Starting today, I'll serve as your secretary."
Shi Shihai said.
Chen Fang nodded, saying, "Get a cup of water."
Shi Shihai did not hesitate.
Picked up a cup from the table, went to the water dispenser, and brought a cup of hot water to Chen Fang.
Chen Fang took the cup and sipped.
Suddenly.
His expression beca gloomy.
With a wave.
He smashed the cup violently on the floor; water splashed, and the glass shattered everywhere.
This sudden change.
Startled Li Dan.
He exclaid, "Governor Chen, what's wrong?"
"Damn it, you pour such hot water—are you trying to kill ? You can't do even this small task properly; get out and stop being a secretary!"
Chen Fang sternly scolded.
Li Dan was stunned, montarily speechless.
Shi Shihai was also terrified, his previous arrogance replaced by timid compliance, not daring to speak.
