Why not excited?

If a normal person heard this news, they would surely be so excited that they couldn't contain themselves.

Being a secretary by the side of the top leadership.

What a rare and valuable experience this must be!

Take Li Chong, for example.

He stayed by the side of Shangguan Shoudong for more than ten years.

As soon as he was reassigned, he received the status of a major official.

For most people in politics, a decade is quite a bargain.

Moreover, at this time, Shangguan Shoudong's first term is already halfway through. Even if there's another term, it would only add up to just over six years.

In other words, if Chen Fang stays by his side for just over six years,

at the age of just over forty, he could secure a position at the ministerial level. How lucrative is that?

The reason for this,

is because Chen Fang understood Shangguan Shoudong's intention.

The reason he gave Chen Fang this promise was out of concern for his upcoming trip to Nanliang Province.

In other words, Shangguan Shoudong was reminding Chen Fang to be cautious and always prioritize his safety above all else.

Receiving such concern from a leader, how could he not be moved?

Seeing the change in Chen Fang's emotions,

Li Chong hurriedly shouted, "Waiter, bring another bottle of wine."

During the waiter's trip to fetch the wine,

suddenly,

Li Chong's phone rang.

He put the phone to his ear, and after just uttering a hello, his expression changed.

A shadow fell over his face, frozen in place.

After about a minute,

he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I understand."

He hung up the phone.

Chen Fang sensed something was wrong.

He asked, "What's going on?"

Li Chong slowly lifted his head and said in a heavy voice, "News from Nanliang Province came. Vice Dean Gao suddenly had a heart attack and died despite rescue efforts."

This news was extremely shocking to everyone present.

Li Chong continued, "I'm familiar with Vice Dean Gao's health. He's had check-ups over the years, and I've never heard of him having heart issues. I suspect some people already knew about his grievances and took action."

"Damn it, these people are simply too rampant, too arrogant..."

With a bang,

Zhao Lincuan punched the table.

At this moment, even someone of his stature couldn't help but curse.

Li Chong stood up.

He said, "Two leaders, Ah Fang, we won't drink the wine today. I have to go back and pack, and tomorrow I'll prepare for the appointment. You should also get ready. I'll be waiting for you in Nanliang Province..."

Everyone got up one after another.

They watched Li Chong hastily leave.

After bidding goodbye to Zhao Lincuan and Wen Fengyou,

Chen Fang also returned home.

The next day.

After the grand graduation ceremony, that night, Chen Fang didn't attend the graduation ball.

Instead, after returning, after careful consideration, he submitted a list to the Supreme Disciplinary Committee.

The people on this list were the members he planned to bring to Nanliang Province this time.

The first was Huang Zhiyao.

After three years of association,

he and Huang Zhiyao had formed a solid relationship.

Chen Fang also had a strong appreciation for Huang Zhiyao's character. After consulting Huang Zhiyao, Chen Fang put his name first.

The second person was undoubtedly Yu Zhengchuan.

This was the person he trusted the most, without a doubt.

The third person was his secretary Jiang Feng, who stayed in Rongjiang City during these years of study.

After finalizing the list of three men,

Chen Fang also wanted to bring two women into the team.

After all, the situation with this case was very complex.

In some special cases, having women handle the situation might be more effective than men.

His first thought was Mei Yiru.

For two reasons.

Firstly, Mei Yiru had been working in the Disciplinary Committee, and Chen Fang had a high regard for her capabilities from her time at the Shangqing City Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

Secondly, he wanted to promote her.

After all, for a Disciplinary Committee cadre, being seconded by the Supreme Disciplinary Committee would be a remarkable addition to her resume.

He thought long and hard about the second woman.

Initially, he considered bringing in Chen Zhenyi.

The reasons were solid, as she was serving in Nanliang Province and was more familiar with the local situation.

After further consideration,

he felt she wasn't suitable.

Chen Zhenyi completed her graduate studies in the research class at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

Upon returning to Nanliang Province, she would surely be heavily used, and with Li Chong heading there as Provincial Committee Secretary, having her assist Li Chong would be more effective.

So, in the absence of a better idea, he left the position vacant.

Another day passed, and Chen Fang submitted a list of four to the Supreme Disciplinary Committee.

Since it would take some time to go through the procedures,

after graduation, Chen Fang returned directly to Rongjiang City.

The waiting continued.

He waited for more than half a month.

Around mid-August.

Chen Fang received a call from the Supreme Disciplinary Committee.

They asked him to go to Yuanjing, as the national inspection action of the Disciplinary Committee was about to commence.

In early August,

the top leadership held a discipline work meeting.

They decided to form ten regular inspection teams to conduct regular or irregular inspections of departments and agencies across the country's provinces and cities.

Within the Supreme Disciplinary Committee,

they carried out a series of preliminary tasks.

The call for Chen Fang to report in indicated that the entire action was entering the mobilization phase.

Sure enough.

The day after Chen Fang arrived in Yuanjing.

The Supreme Disciplinary Committee held a meeting.

They announced that Chen Fang would be the head of the Seventh Inspection Team of the Supreme Disciplinary Committee, promoting him from a director-level position directly to a vice-ministerial level.

Thus,

Chen Fang completed the leap from director-level to ministerial level.

This also laid the groundwork for his rise to a higher position.

Around August 20,

Chen Fang met all the members of the Seventh Inspection Team in an office at the Supreme Disciplinary Committee building.

Yu Zhengchuan, Huang Zhiyao, Jiang Feng, and Mei Yiru required no further introduction.

There was also an additional man and woman.

The man was Lin Chengxiong, who was 39 years old and had been seconded from the Supreme Court to provide legal guidance.

The woman was Fang Kui, 29 years old, seconded from the Armed Police Forces, in charge of security duties.

Chen Fang had no issues with Lin Chengxiong.

However, this Fang Kui...

From the first moment he saw her, Chen Fang felt the arrangement from above was somewhat unsuitable.

This time going to Nanliang Province, they were about to face a ferocious crime syndicate, yet standing before him, although Fang Kui was quite tall, perhaps over 1.7 meters, and appeared lean and fit, her baby face always seemed out of place.

Today, Fang Kui also wore a black women's suit, standing straight with a military demeanor.

However, Chen Fang found it hard to imagine such a slender woman could truly undertake security duties.

Honestly,

Fang Kui was quite pretty,

and her face was very exquisite.

It's just that her face appeared very youthful, and if not for her height when seated, it gave a sense of a minor impersonating an adult.

So, during the initial meeting, Chen Fang assigned tasks to the main leaders.

But he overlooked Fang Kui.
