A phrase, "Jianghu affairs are settled within Jianghu," almost made Chen Fang burst out laughing.

He forced himself to hold it back.

He asked, "Aren't you afraid your sister will scold you?"

Mentioning Xu Wanwan.

A trace of fear flashed across Xu Zaozao's face.

However, she still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't think I don't know, my sister's matter has been resolved, you have no more value, even if I beat you up now, my sister won't do anything to me?"

"It seems your Xu family is really good at burning bridges after crossing the river."

Chen Fang remarked with emotion.

Hearing this, Xu Zaozao became anxious.

She said, "Today's matter has nothing to do with my Xu family, it's my own decision. I don't want to argue with you, can the bet be canceled? If not, I won't be polite."

Chen Fang stretched out his hands.

Shrugged and said, "I don't want to cancel it."

"Fine! Then you're doomed today, ladies, go!"

Xu Zaozao waved her hand.

The four women holding baseball bats moved towards Chen Fang.

Could Chen Fang take such showy displays seriously?

They hadn't even exchanged a few moves yet.

All four baseball bats were already in Chen Fang's hands.

The women were dumbfounded.

Each of them retreated in fear.

Chen Fang casually threw the bats to the ground.

Said, "Get lost quickly! If I see you again, I'll strip you all!"

Accompanied by a fierce expression.

The four women were so frightened their souls fled, ignoring Xu Zaozao's calls, they vanished like smoke.

Now it was fine.

Only Xu Zaozao with a fearful look was left before him.

Who would have thought, with four people on her side, and weapons too, they weren't a match for Chen Fang. She swallowed, watching Chen Fang approach slowly, and said, "You... don't come any closer... if my dad and sister find out you hurt me, they... they won't spare you."

"Didn't you just say your actions have nothing to do with your family?"

Chen Fang retorted with a sneer.

Xu Zaozao was momentarily speechless.

She took a few more steps back, bumping into the car.

Now there was nowhere to retreat.

Chen Fang was already in front of her.

"Is the bet still on?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Zaozao kept her mouth shut, her eyes still defiant.

"I'll ask you again, is the bet still on?"

Chen Fang raised his voice and asked again.

This time, Xu Zaozao was so scared she shivered.

As the second miss of the Xu family, she was pampered by her parents and sister from a young age. Wherever she went, no one dared to shout at her.

She always thought she was amazing.

She didn't know she was nothing without her father's protection.

Now being yelled at by Chen Fang.

Her courage instantly vanished.

She nodded mechanically and said, "Yes, yes, the bet is still on."

"Then what should you call me?"

"B...Boss..."

"Louder, I can't hear you."

"Boss..."

Xu Zaozao shouted again, frightened.

Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "Not gentle enough, I want to hear it tenderly."

"Boss."

Xu Zaozao pinched her voice and shouted again.

Chen Fang continued to wave his hand and said, "Without emotion, add some feeling."

Ordinarily, she would have protested long ago.

But in this wild place, she didn't have the courage.

She could only try to make her voice softer and shouted again, "Boss."

This time Chen Fang was satisfied and ordered, "Open the door for the boss. I need to go to the airport."

Xu Zaozao was thoroughly tamed.

She scampered to the front passenger seat, opened the car door for Chen Fang, then closed it once he was inside, obediently got in the driver's seat, and with a press of the accelerator, took him to the airport.

When getting out of the car.

Xu Zaozao even took the initiative to come over and open the door.

Watching Chen Fang disappear from sight, for some reason, her face suddenly turned red.

A peculiar sensation began to rise in her heart.

Growing up.

She was always coaxed and spoiled by those around her.

No one ever dared to scold her like this.

Chen Fang just scared her a little, and she actually found this man quite special.

Indeed, the world is full of wonders, and the same goes for women; every pot has its lid.

A little past six in the evening.

Chen Fang got out of the car at Rongjiang Airport.

Zhong Xiqian personally drove to pick him up.

On the way, he first talked to his wife about Jiang Xiaofan's illness, hearing that experts from Yuanjing had already started consultations, Zhong Xiqian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Following that.

Chen Fang mentioned about soon leaving Rongjiang City to study at the highest party school.

It was apparent that Zhong Xiqian was somewhat reluctant.

Yet she still pretended to be quite open-minded.

The next day.

Chen Fang returned to work at Rongjiang City Government.

After more than ten days of calm.

The Yong'an Provincial Committee received a notice from the party school, requiring Chen Fang to report to the highest party school in three days.

That afternoon.

Chen Fang was summoned to the office of Provincial Committee Secretary Zhou Jingyan.

Just as he arrived at the Provincial Committee building.

Chen Fang saw Xu You waiting at the door from afar.

As soon as he got out of the car.

Xu You walked up to him in a lively manner.

Cheerfully said, "Mayor Chen, Secretary Zhou asked me to come and greet you."

"Thanks for the trouble."

Chen Fang responded politely.

Under Xu You's guidance.

Chen Fang arrived at the door of the Provincial Committee Secretary's office.

On the way, Xu You had already informed Chen Fang, that Zhou Jingyan had an important meeting scheduled for this morning, but postponed it to meet with him.

This showed how much weight Chen Fang held in Zhou Jingyan's mind now.

Once inside the door.

Zhou Jingyan, who was originally wearing reading glasses while reviewing documents, immediately got up with a smile.

He invited Chen Fang to sit down on the sofa.

This demeanor.

Was not like a provincial committee secretary should have.

On the contrary, it seemed as if Chen Fang was the leader.

After Xu You brought over a cup of brewed tea, Zhou Jingyan let out a long sigh and said, "Comrade Chen Fang, the Heavenly Appearance Sect matter has passed for so long, and there hasn't been time to have a good chat with you. After thinking it over, I don't know what to say, so I'll just say thank you."

"Secretary Zhou, you are too polite, you shouldn't be thanking me, but yourself, because at the critical moment, you made the right choice, without your help, I fear the issue wouldn't have been resolved so smoothly."

Chen Fang replied modestly.

Not taking credit or being arrogant has always been Chen Fang's trait.

Hearing this naturally made Zhou Jingyan feel at ease.

He said, "The reason I called you over today is to discuss an important matter, with you leaving, the mayor's position will be vacant, I want to hear your opinion."

Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

He said, "Personally, I think Deputy Secretary Gao Shouyi is suitable."

"Secretary Gao's age..."

Zhou Jingyan nodded, with a look of hesitation.

Gao Shouyi is already 55 years old this year.

By rights, he no longer meets the requirements for promotion in terms of age.

After all, under the current trend of younger cadres, Gao Shouyi is indeed a bit overaged.
