The knife was already at his neck.
Jin Shijian had no choice.
After all, he was just the deputy head of the Organization Departnt, wasn't he?
After pondering for a mont, he said, "Engaging in deception and abuse of power, at the very least, administrative derit should be imposed."
No sooner had he spoken than
Chen Fang looked towards Yu Dedong and said, "Comrade Yu Dedong, you heard that, didn't you? Minister Jin said you should at least receive an administrative derit, so let's settle on that."
Yu Dedong felt an itching hatred.
His eyes nearly shot fire at Jin Shijian.
He thought this matter would end there.
Who could have expected Chen Fang to casually shake the resignation letter in his hand?
He said, "Since Comrade Bihui is so eager to resign, I have agreed as well."
After saying this,
he pulled out a pen from his pocket and quickly signed the resignation letter.
Guo Bihui was stunned.
He indeed had been assigned by Jin Shijian.
To resign was just for show; he never expected Chen Fang to actually agree.
Now that Chen Fang had signed, he certainly couldn't say in front of everyone that his resignation was fake.
Taking the resignation letter Chen Fang handed over, he was on the verge of tears.
It was a losing situation that Chen Fang had so easily turned around, and Jin Shijian was very uncomfortable about it.
To break the stalemate,
Mayor Feng Huaxiang said, "Leaders, as you can see, it's ti for a al, and the town governnt has prepared so food. How about we all have a simple al together?"
"Okay, please lead the way, Mayor Feng. I'll have a talk with Secretary Yu."
Feng Huaxiang was taken aback.
He could only obediently lead the others out the door.
As the door to the office closed,
Chen Fang, looking at the dejected Yu Dedong, said, "Secretary Yu, there's no need to worry. The decision to give you a derit was made by Minister Jin, but ultimately, the signing authority is still in my hands."
Yu Dedong originally thought Chen Fang was going to criticize him.
But the conversation took a turn, seemingly hinting at another intention.
He was startled and asked, "What do you an, Minister Chen?"
"Nothing much, the purpose of my visit to Dashizhen is to et Tian Xinran. If Secretary Yu could help make the arrangents, I will handle that derit for you."
Normally, Chen Fang would not have said such a thing.
But now, the situation was completely different.
Chen Fang had noticed so subtle signs.
The incident with Xie Liang had nothing to do with the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Jianfeng. If it did, they wouldn't have used Xu Jianfeng's uncle by marriage to cause trouble.
At this mont,
Chen Fang shifted his hatred entirely onto Jin Shijian.
Then, Yu Dedong would certainly be able to do sothing to help him.
This is called using the opponent's force to your advantage.
Yu Dedong was stunned for a mont and asked, "Tian Xinran? The Tian Xinran from Baishui Village?"
"You know this person, Secretary Yu?"
Yu Dedong nodded and said, "Of course, she's the one Xie Liang bravely saved, the one the dia interviewed, I accompanied them several tis, so I definitely know her."
Hearing this,
Chen Fang was inwardly pleased.
He asked, "Secretary Yu, could you arrange for soone to accompany on a trip to Baishui Village?"
"Of course, I'll arrange it right now."
Yu Dedong said and was about to make a call when
Chen Fang grabbed his hand and said, "I'm not finished yet, I have another condition, I want you to stop Jin Shijian and his group from getting to Baishui Village."
Yu Dedong smiled understandingly, his eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness.
He said, "Minister Chen, rest assured, I guarantee they won't reach Baishui Village today."
With those words,
Chen Fang's anxious heart was put to rest.
Five minutes later, Chen Fang arrived at a small side gate in the courtyard of the town governnt. Upon opening it, a young man was already waiting there.
"Minister Chen, this is Su Jianren, an officer from our town's publicity departnt, and he's also from Baishui Village. He will lead you there,"
announced Yu Dedong.
Chen Fang reached out, shook hands with Su Jianren, and said, "Comrade Jianren, thank you for the trouble."
"What are you saying, Minister Chen? It's my duty. The car is just ahead; let's go."
"Alright."
After bidding farewell to Yu Dedong, the two set off for their journey to Baishui Village.
Back in the office.
Yu Dedong summoned Mayor Feng Huaxiang into his office.
"Secretary Yu, you were looking for ?"
"I have a task for you. Go buy so liquor, and no matter what thod you use, get these people drunk for ."
"Understood, Secretary Yu. Consider it done."
Feng Huaxiang nodded and said.
After pondering for a mont, Yu Dedong felt it still wasn't secure enough.
He said, "Find soone to let the air out of the tires of both cars from the Organization Departnt. Today, we have one goal – to immobilize these people."
Although he didn't know why Yu Dedong wanted to do this,
Feng Huaxiang still agreed.
After taking care of all this,
they began to take action separately.
Jin Shijian waited in the cafeteria, left and right, but Chen Fang didn't show up.
He started to feel that sothing was odd.
Just as he stood up to leave,
Feng Huaxiang ca in.
"Minister Jin, why aren't you eating? Is there sothing unsatisfactory about the food we've prepared?" Feng Huaxiang asked cheerfully.
Jin Shijian asked, "Where is Minister Chen?"
"Oh, Minister Chen? Secretary Yu took him out to eat," Feng Huaxiang replied.
Jin Shijian's heart skipped a beat.
He asked, "Where is Minister Chen? I need to find him."
"Minister Jin, the leaders are eating their al and we're eating ours. Look, I've even prepared a lot of good wine..."
Seeing Feng Huaxiang's obstruction,
Jin Shijian shoved his hand aside.
And rushed out to the courtyard.
At first glance, he saw the tires of both cars from the Organization Departnt were deflated.
"What's going on here?"
Jin Shijian pointed at the deflated tires and asked.
Feng Huaxiang, who ca out in a hurry, said, "The road conditions in Dashitan are pretty bad. Maybe they got punctured by a stone on the way here. Don't worry, Minister Jin, I'll have soone fix them right away. Let's eat first..."
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt.
Jin Shijian's heart raced.
He quickly took out his phone and dialed Guo Wensheng's number.
After recounting the whole incident in detail,
Guo Wensheng cursed three tis, calling him a fool.
Jin Shijian had no excuses; after all, he hadn't handled the situation well.
"Old Guo, the cursing is over. If nothing unexpected has happened, Chen Fang should have already gone to Baishui Village to see Tian Xinran. It's ti to make a decision."
Over the phone, Guo Wensheng muttered, "I didn't expect Chen Fang to be so crafty and good at leveraging forces. Well, since that's the case, you just stay put in Dashitan and keep a close eye on the people there. I'll arrange for soone else to go to Baishui Village."
After hanging up,
Guo Wensheng put down his phone and looked towards the man sitting across from him with a sullen face.
This man was none other than the Mayor of Guyang City, Xue Bo.
"Leader, as you heard, if nothing unexpected, Chen Fang should be on his way to Baishui Village. I just don't understand how he could have known about Xie Liang's situation," Guo Wensheng said, frowning.
Xue Bo muttered, "There must be soone plotting behind the scenes, but who could it be..."
"Could it be ng Zheqing?"
Guo Wensheng asked.
Xue Bo shook his head and said, "ng Zheqing just got out of trouble. At this point, he ought to be currying favor with us, definitely not stabbing us in the back."
"Then could it be Secretary Xu Jianfeng?"
Guo Wensheng asked again.
Xue Bo narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a mont, then shook his head again, saying, "That's not likely, either. Xu Jianfeng is Zhao Yiping's protégé. Everyone knows Zhao Yiping wants to take down ng Zheqing; at such a critical juncture, he needs my support as well and certainly wouldn't betray us."
If that's not possible and this isn't possible, Guo Wensheng truly didn't know who was the one playing dirty behind the scenes.
In their wildest dreams, they couldn't have imagined that behind all these seemingly hostile relationships, a pair of slender and delicate hands were remotely orchestrating everything...
