Before going to the Education Bureau.
Dong Shugang had already discussed plans with Sun Yan.
Once in place, they would intimidate Chen Fang to lend support to Sun Yan.
Then, during their ti at the Education Bureau, they would nitpick and purposely cause trouble for Chen Fang to make everyone understand Sun Yan's clout. This would help Sun Yan quickly secure a foothold at the bureau.
But who could have expected that Chen Fang would turn the tables, bringing in a wheelchair for Dong Shugang and even having a DV cara follow him the entire ti, leaving Dong Shugang with grievances he couldn't express.
Even if he wanted to find fault, he was hesitant in front of the cara.
After announcing Sun Yan's appointnt, he could only leave dejectedly.
Returning from the eting room.
Chen Fang saw from afar Qin Yi pacing at the office door.
Upon seeing Chen Fang, Qin Yi quickly approached and said, "Leader, soone is looking for you."
"Looking for ? Who is it?"
Chen Fang asked.
Qin Yi pointed towards the office and said, "It's a woman, she said she's from the West City Police Station."
West City Police Station?
Chen Fang was stunned, could it be her?
He pushed the door open.
And saw a woman with a very androgynous look sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.
Upon hearing the door open.
The woman quickly stood up.
"Officer Hu, what brings you here?"
Chen Fang asked.
The woman in front of him was none other than Hu Qin, wearing a loose denim jacket over a tight tank top, baggy jeans, and sneakers. She looked the sa as always, neat and tidy.
Hu Qin said sowhat embarrassedly, "Director Chen, am I disturbing you?"
"No no no, co, please sit!"
Chen Fang invited her to sit down.
He then had Qin Yi bring over a cup of water.
Hu Qin seed very nervous, her hands fidgeting on her thighs as if they had no place to rest.
Seeing this.
Chen Fang pushed the cup of water closer to her.
He said, "Officer Hu, please speak directly if there's sothing you need. As long as I, Chen Fang, can help, I definitely will."
Gathering courage.
Hu Qin looked up and said, "Director Chen... um... I... I want to invite you to dinner at my place this evening... if you're free."
"Dinner at your place?"
Chen Fang was taken aback.
Hu Qin waved her hands repeatedly and said, "You... don't get wrong, I won't do anything to you, it's just purely... purely an invitation to dinner, since you didn't get to eat out last ti when you invited , I wanted to return the invitation."
"Oh, that's all? No problem, I can invite Officer Hu again. Is the sa small tavern from last ti okay?"
Upon hearing this.
Hu Qin beca anxious.
She waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No... not the small tavern, I can't relax there... oh, I an, I don't like the food there. Let's go to my place instead, I'll cook myself."
"You can cook?"
Chen Fang asked.
Hu Qin shook her head, then quickly nodded, saying, "I can, I can cook."
Hu Qin has always been straightforward, but now she seed awkward. Chen Fang smiled and said, "Okay, what ti should I be there?"
Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Hu Qin's face as she said, "Six-thirty... oh no, six-thirty, is that okay?"
"Alright, I'll be there on ti,"
Chen Fang confird with a nod.
Hu Qin sprang to her feet and said, "It's a deal then, no backing out. I'll go back and start preparing."
"You don't need to prepare, anything casual is fine,"
Chen Fang politely said.
For so reason, Hu Qin's face turned red, and she almost fled Chen Fang's office.
These incomprehensible actions had Chen Fang at a complete loss.
He had witnessed the spirited way she went about catching a thief, and there hadn't been any awkward incidents between them last ti, so why was there such a big change this ti they t?
Hu Qin rushed out the door.
And, in a flurry, pulled out her cell phone.
After dialing a number, she said, "Stop rushing , I've already asked Chen Fang to co over to my place for dinner tonight."
Over the phone, a burst of hearty laughter ca through.
It was Wen i's voice, "You lost the bet and you have to let him kiss you for five minutes. According to the agreent, you can't initiate the kiss yourself, nor can you tell him about our wager. In any case, it must happen naturally, you have to make him take the initiative to kiss you."
"Isn't this too difficult?"
Hu Qin said sowhat helplessly.
Wen i giggled, "That's not my problem, you're the one who made the bet with , losing ans accepting it."
"Alright, alright, I'll give it a try."
Hu Qin hung up the phone with no choice.
She took a deep breath, stared at the sky for a while, then stretched out both hands and vigorously rubbed her head, tangling her hair into a bird's nest before she stomped her foot and left.
It was evident that she was in a state of collapse at that mont.
As instructed by the Organization Departnt,
another vice-director transferred from the city was supposed to arrive around two in the afternoon.
But the wait continued until about three-thirty and still no one showed up.
At four o'clock,
the office received a call from the Organization Departnt. The vice-director had suddenly developed appendicitis near the highway exit to Jinde County and was taken to the county hospital for surgery.
It turned out to be a wasted wait for everyone.
Around four-thirty,
Chen Fang received a call from Jinde County's governnt office.
He was asked to rush over to a county governnt eting.
This eting was about the launch ceremony of the Vocational Technical College project in Jinde County.
More than a year ago, the Provincial Departnt of Education had approved the feasibility report for the Vocational Technical College in Jinde County.
A plan to establish Wen'an City's largest vocational technical college in Jinde County was proposed.
The entire project would occupy 1,100 acres with an estimated total investnt of 3.3 billion yuan and is planned to enroll fourteen thousand students.
This project represents the largest education investnt in Jinde County and Wen'an City in recent years.
In all of Yong'an Province, its scale was also quite considerable.
At this eting,
other than Chen Fang from the Bureau of Education, leaders from the Land and Resources Bureau, the Housing and Urban-Rural Developnt Bureau, the Developnt and Reform Commission, the Finance Bureau, the Audit Bureau, and other main departnts were present as well.
In terms of leadership,
alongside the main leadership of the county committee and county governnt,
Deputy Mayor Ge Weijun from Wen'an City and Vice Mayor Xiao Xiao in charge of education were also in attendance.
After introducing the background and progress of the establishnt of the Vocational Technical College, Ge Weijun cleared his throat and said, "As everyone knows, Comrade Pan Youde, our vice-county head in charge of education, had an issue a while back. The Vocational Technical College project is about to launch, and we can't leave this post vacant. After discussing with Comrade Yuanbo, Comrade Xiaomin, and other mbers of the Standing Committee, we have decided to nominate Comrade Chen Fang from the Bureau of Education to serve as the vice-county head in charge of education. After the city committee ets and discusses, the official appointnt notice will be issued. Before the notice is issued, Comrade Chen Fang will temporarily take up the position of leader of the preparatory group."
As soon as these words were said,
murmurs began to rise from the audience.
Including Chen Fang, who was also startled.
You should know, it was only a little over a month since he took office as director of the Bureau of Education.
So his sudden promotion to vice-county head in charge of education was indeed surprising to everyone.
All eyes turned towards him and from their expressions, it was clear they were filled with disdain and contempt.
"Quiet!"
Li Xiaomin banged the table and yelled at everyone.
The murmurs quickly subsided.
Ge Weijun cleared his throat again and said, "Of course, this is just a nomination, not the final result. If anyone has any constructive suggestions, you can report them upwards. Let's continue the eting..."
This announcent
was just a minor episode.
But it threw Chen Fang into turmoil.
After the eting,
as soon as Chen Fang returned to the Bureau of Education's office, Li Weiyang, having heard the news, knocked on the door and entered, happily saying, "Director Chen, congratulations on your quick promotion to vice-county head, such joyous news."
