Chen Fang fell silent for a while.

He smiled and asked, "I finally understand why Secretary Liu chose Director Xie; Director Xie really is a perfect mouthpiece."

Xie Xuefeng was taken aback.

He asked, "What do you mean?"

Chen Fang extended his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

He said, "It seems that Director Xie still doesn't understand me, Chen Fang. The rules of personal relationships do not work with me. You originally had the chance to lessen the impact of this incident, but now you don't."

After saying this.

Chen Fang stood up.

"Chen Fang! Don't think that just because you're the Deputy Mayor, I'm afraid of you. Guyang City isn't yours to dictate alone; you're not the top leader."

Chen Fang waved his hand; he didn't want to bother with Xie Xuefeng anymore, nor did he want to wait for Liu Mingkai, and he simply left.

Xie Xuefeng stomped his foot.

He burst out of the meeting room's door.

By that time, the door to the Secretary's office had already opened.

"Is it done?"

Liu Mingkai asked.

Xie Xuefeng, with a face full of indignation, said, "Secretary Liu, this Chen Fang is simply too arrogant, he... he didn't take you seriously at all..."

After saying this.

He exaggerated the content of the conversation he had with Chen Fang.

Liu Mingkai was also a person who cared about face.

Upon hearing these inflammatory words, anger also crept onto his face.

He said through clenched teeth, "Such an ignorant fool, since he won't even give me face, then don't blame me for being rude, Song, come here for a moment."

Liu Mingkai called out to his secretary, Song Chiping.

After Song Chiping hurried over.

Liu Mingkai asked, "Has Dou Qingquan returned?"

Song Chiping said, "He just arrived."

"Notify the standing committee, we'll have a meeting in half an hour."

"Yes!"

Song Chiping hurried away.

Seeing Liu Mingkai angered.

Xie Xuefeng seemed very pleased and ventured, "Secretary Liu, what about me... what should I do?"

"Do as you should, just stay in the meeting room and wait for my message. I want to see how Chen Fang is going to touch you," Liu Mingkai said.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Meeting room of Guyang City's Standing Committee.

The notified committee members had all arrived already.

Why was this standing committee meeting suddenly called?

Liu Mingkai's purpose was very clear, to make an example of Chen Fang; he needed to express his stance to Chen Fang in front of everyone.

Otherwise, Chen Fang would really not take him seriously at all.

"Today's standing committee meeting primarily has two items on the agenda. The first item concerns the filming of 'Grand Age' by a crew in our Guyang City. As everyone knows, 'Grand Age' is the latest work of the famous director You Changda. Once the movie is released, it will bring tremendous traffic to our Guyang City, so the entire city must provide the greatest support. This matter will be handled by the Publicity Department," Liu Mingkai said.

When it came to this point, it was impossible not to mention the movie 'Grand Age'.

This movie has been in preparation since last year by the nationally renowned director You Changda.

You Changda was quite well-known in the country.

They had produced quite a few powerful works, and the box office returns were all pretty good.

Choosing Guyang City as the location for the new movie was indeed an opportunity for Guyang City.

It could not only promote tourism in Guyang City but also greatly help in enhancing the city's reputation.

So, a few months ago when it was confirmed that the movie would be shot in Guyang City, everyone up and down was very excited.

However, what those present did not know was that the investor behind the movie was Lanfang Media Limited.

The current person in charge of Lanfang Media is Song Lanre.

In other words, the ability to film "Great Prosperity" in Guyang City was all due to Chen Fang's covert contributions.

Lin Danmei, the head of the propaganda department, nodded and said, "Secretary Liu, rest assured, the propaganda department will handle this matter well."

Liu Mingkai nodded.

He said, "It took me an enormous effort to bring this movie to our Guyang City. My idea is simple, to enhance the city's reputation. I believe that after this movie, our Guyang City's fame will climb a notch, so the municipal government wants to improve the city's image and tourism issues in the near future—"

These words contained a fair bit of boastfulness.

The film crew indeed had approached Liu Mingkai for discussions.

But he didn't have to make an effort at all, as Lanfang Media had already requested to shoot in Guyang City, which essentially handed Liu Mingkai a bargain.

At this point.

Liu Mingkai paused for a moment.

He said, "Now we come to the second issue. I suggest forming a City Image Improvement Leadership Team. This team will specifically be responsible for the city's image enhancement and tourism environment improvement projects. I wonder if anyone has any objections?"

Dou Qingquan furrowed his brow.

He said, "Personally, I think Secretary Liu's proposal is very necessary. After the release of 'Great Prosperity', it will inevitably trigger a tourism boom. If our Guyang City Committee and City Government cannot handle this influx, that would be a tremendous waste."

Deputy Secretary Yang Guanghong asked, "Secretary Liu, who will serve as the head of this leadership team?"

Liu Mingkai thought for a bit.

He said, "Xie Xuefeng, the head of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, is quite capable. My opinion is to let him serve as the head of this leadership team. What do you all think?"

As soon as the name Xie Xuefeng was mentioned.

Chen Fang flinched.

Dou Qingquan also felt an inexplicable thump in his heart.

Having Chen Fang deal with Xie Xuefeng was something he had arranged. He had thought this Party Committee meeting was just a working session and hadn't expected that Liu Mingkai actually had a hidden agenda.

He also realized.

This was Liu Mingkai's counterattack against Chen Fang.

Delighted,

he said, "Indeed, Comrade Xie Xuefeng is very conscientious in his work. To have him serve as the head of this leadership team, I personally think, is appropriate."

As he said this, he sneakily glanced at Chen Fang.

For him, since his efforts to sow discord were already taking effect, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Supporting Liu Mingkai would also exacerbate the conflict between Chen Fang and Liu Mingkai.

As a result, there would be no chance for reconciliation between the two.

Moreover, it served to suppress Chen Fang.

No sooner had Chen Fang acted against Xie Xuefeng than Xie was considered for a promotion.

Wasn't this a blatant slap in the face?

Chen Fang's authority in Guyang City would naturally suffer a not insignificant blow.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Liu Mingkai, you fool.

Seeing Dou Qingquan support him made Liu Mingkai ecstatic; he looked at Chen Fang somewhat provocatively, not realizing he had already fallen into the trap Dou Qingquan had laid out.

Seeing Dou Qingquan's agreement,

Yang Guanghong immediately said, "I agree with the opinions of the two leaders and support Comrade Xie Xuefeng to take the position of the group leader."
