Chen Fang pinched his chin, Youyou commented, "I think you look better without it."
Yang Tong feigned surprise, "Does the leader have X-ray vision? How do you know I'm not wearing any?"
After that,
she grabbed her skirt with both hands and quickly pulled it up.
It was then that Chen Fang realized the space between Yang Tong's legs was indeed empty.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he saw everything he should and shouldn't have seen.
Just as Yang Tong was about to take her next step,
a knock on the door sounded again.
Chen Fang was secretly pleased.
He quickly called out, "Please, come in."
Helplessly, the flirtation stopped, and Yang Tong could only sit down dejectedly.
The door was pushed open.
Li Huanqing's head peeked in.
He immediately saw Yang Tong, his brows furrowed, thinking, how did this woman get ahead again?
"Ah, Director Li, come in, have a seat."
Li Huanqing, neither able to retreat nor advance, could only walk in and bow, saying, "Hello, Secretary-General."
Then he added in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "Secretary-General Yang is also here? You're quite fast."
"Same to you, Director Li, you're not slow either,"
Yang Tong said coldly.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the office became tense.
Chen Fang invited Li Huanqing to sit down beside Yang Tong, stood up to pour two glasses of water, and handed them over, asking, "Director Li, did you need something?"
Li Huanqing immediately squeezed out a smile, saying, "No issues, just heard that Secretary-General Chen had arrived, came to see if there's anything I could help with."
"Heh, help? Physically help, I guess?"
Yang Tong said disdainfully.
Although Li Huanqing was relatively younger, he wasn't a pushover, he retorted to Yang Tong, "Oh? Are you jealous, Secretary-General Yang? It's just because I'm young and have the means, right?"
This remark blatantly pointed out Yang Tong's age.
Yang Tong didn't miss a beat, she thrust out her chest and retorted, "What use is being young if that's all you've got? Do you have any other assets?"
Indeed.
Based on the size of the bust.
Yang Tong did have the upper hand.
Being mocked this way, Li Huanqing's face turned red, and he defiantly said, "What's the use of big breasts? God knows how many men have nibbled at them; probably even the pink has turned to black by now, right?"
"You're the black one; your whole family is black."
Yang Tong's last bit of dignity finally shattered.
Standing up, she pointed at Li Huanqing and shouted angrily.
Seeing that the two were about to start slinging mud, Chen Fang had no choice but to intervene.
He covered his mouth with a fist and coughed.
Just as Li Huanqing was about to retort and had risen, he sat back down and looked at Chen Fang saying, "I'm really sorry, Secretary-General Chen, for making you witness such a scene. It's just that Secretary-General Yang has been targeting me at work. Since she outranks me, I only get bullied."
"Little vixen, who's bullying whom? Flaunting your youth, you flirt provocatively with the men at work all day, and you have the nerve to say that about me?"
Compared to Li Huanqing's tactical retreat, Yang Tong was much less tactful.
Still in an agitated state, she pointed at Li Huanqing and continued her tirade.
Chen Fang, feeling helpless, waved his hands and said sternly, "Enough, stop arguing. If you've come to my office just to quarrel, then I'll have to ask you to leave."
Hearing this,
Yang Tong realized he had somewhat lost his composure.
Sitting down resentfully, he said, "I apologize, Secretary-General Chen, for making a fool of myself."
"Both of you are leaders in our government office. If outsiders saw this, they might think we aren't united. It's normal to have some conflicts between colleagues; they're not insoluble. Focus on your work. I heard that Secretary-General Ding will be transferred soon. Normally, this position is filled by promoting someone from below. Given your current behavior, do you think you can handle the job?"
Chen Fang had intentionally made this remark.
Indeed, upon hearing this, both of their eyes lit up immediately.
Li Huanqing immediately responded, "Please rest assured, leader. This will absolutely not happen again. I will definitely work hard and not let down your expectations."
Yang Tong also quickly made his stance clear, "Leader, with your governance over our municipal office, we also have a backbone. I believe that under your leadership, our municipal office will only get better. Whatever you need me to do, just give the order."
Chen Fang nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "It's almost time to start work, and I've just arrived. Shortly, I would like both of you to organize a municipal government leadership team meeting. Is that a problem?"
"No problem, I'll go right now!"
Li Huanqing stood up and said.
Seeing this, Yang Tong immediately said, "I'll go right now too."
As the two of them walked out of Chen Fang's office, they exchanged a fierce look.
Three in the afternoon.
In the government office meeting room.
The members of the leadership team gradually arrived.
When Chen Fang entered the meeting room, aside from Ding Guiqi, the other eight attendees had already arrived.
The whispering also instantly quieted down.
Everyone quickly stood up and greeted Chen Fang.
Chen Fang waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down. He looked at his watch; it was about three ten. He then looked at the empty seat on his left and asked, "Is anyone else missing?"
The third-ranking person on his right, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and member of the municipal party committee office, in charge of General Department Five and Proposal Department, Han Xixian, said, "Comrade Ding Guiqi has not arrived yet."
Chen Fang looked towards Yang Tong and asked, "Was Comrade Ding Guiqi not informed?"
Yang Tong quickly stood up and said, "He was informed. Secretary-General Ding didn't say he couldn't come."
Chen Fang nodded.
He said, "Alright, I understand. Since it's time for the meeting, we won't wait for him. Let's start the meeting."
As soon as he had finished saying this,
a voice said, "Leader, that doesn't seem right. Secretary-General Ding is the second-ranking person in our government office. It's inappropriate to start the meeting without him. I suggest we wait a bit."
Chen Fang looked towards the speaker.
It was a middle-aged man sitting next to Ding Guiqi's seat who had spoken.
This individual is the fourth-ranking person in the government office.
His name is Zou Ru.
He is the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, a member of the municipal government party group, in charge of General Department Three and the municipal government research office.
No sooner had he finished speaking,
a middle-aged woman across from him said, "I think Comrade Zou Ru makes a valid point. Without Secretary-General Ding, this meeting is meaningless."
This person is named Wu Aimin. She is the director of the Disciplinary Committee's supervisory team stationed in the municipal office, member of the municipal government party group, overseeing the work of the Disciplinary Committee's supervisory team in the municipal office.
The two of them responded to each other,
apparently quite coordinated.
It seemed they wanted to tell Chen Fang,
whether or not you hold this meeting, it doesn't matter without Ding Guiqi here.
In the municipal office, you are the newcomer; the real authority should be Ding Guiqi.
