"What are you doing here?"

As they approached, Chen Fang asked in surprise.

The woman in front of him was none other than Xu Lianyun, who he hadn't seen in years.

He vaguely remembered the last time they met was at Li Duming's memorial service.

They bumped into each other, but hardly exchanged any words.

Years had passed.

Yet Xu Lianyun's face showed no signs of aging.

On the contrary, she looked even better than before.

Her skin had become more radiant.

And her figure was even more shapely.

"After so long, shouldn't your first words be praising how much I've changed?"

Xu Lianyun was also excited, teasing Chen Fang as she spoke.

Chen Fang gave her a once-over.

Nodded and said, "Looks like our Leader Xu has been living quite well, like a parched land being watered daily with sweet dew."

Xu Lianyun was no naive girl.

She wasn't shy at all.

She puffed out her chest and said, "Isn't that because you tilled the land well back then? Fertile grounds need skilled farmers to yield good fruits."

"Leader, you can't say things like that recklessly. I haven't tilled your patch of land in years, I can't take that credit, hahaha..."

Xu Lianyun burst into laughter as well.

As she walked up to Chen Fang, she looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "If we weren't in a public place, I'd push you down and have my way. Heard that working with you gets me all excited, care to touch and see for yourself?"

As she spoke.

Xu Lianyun leaned closer.

Chen Fang could even feel her breath.

"Wait, what do you mean you want to work with me? What's going on?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Lianyun smiled mischievously, asking, "What? Nervous? Jiangnan is known for beautiful women, afraid I might wear you out so you can't please anyone else if I worked here?"

"I'm asking you seriously, be serious."

Chen Fang said irritably.

Xu Lianyun pouted and said, "I've been reassigned to work in Jiangdong Province, more specifically Xiaxiang City, as your colleague. How do you feel about that? Happy?"

"Xiaxiang City? What position?"

"Head of the Organization Department."

Xu Lianyun replied.

Chen Fang felt a jolt in his heart.

He gasped.

And said, "I heard months ago you were supposed to be appointed deputy secretary of the Ningyang City Committee. How did you end up here as head of the Organization Department? Did something go wrong?"

"What could go wrong with me? If anything did, it would be with you too."

Xu Lianyun said mischievously.

No.

Something still wasn't right.

Xu Lianyun was supposedly up for promotion to a top-three position.

But now she's been reassigned to Xiaxiang City as head of the Organization Department, it made no sense.

Why would she be demoted without any wrongdoing?

Suddenly.

Chen Fang felt an epiphany.

He looked incredulously at Xu Lianyun's smiling face.

Asked, "Did you come for me?"

Xu Lianyun waved her hand, "It's a long story; let's report in first and find a private place to talk once we reach Xiaxiang City."

She seemed disinclined to discuss the topic further.

After speaking, she turned away.

Chen Fang grabbed her arm.

Seriously said, "Who told you? Was it A-Chuan? That guy is too meddlesome, I'll have to beat some sense into him."

Xu Lianyun paused.

Looking at Chen Fang's agitated face.

She sighed deeply.

Her expression turned serious.

And she said, "Not A-Chuan, he hasn't contacted me."

"Then why did you come?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Lianyun paused, then said, "You're not the only one who knows about Jiang Chuo's transfer to Jiangdong Province, we all do. He's had a run-in with you before, and now that he's back, he's bound to target you. Although we have faith in your abilities, having a bit of help can increase your odds, don't you think?"

"'We'? Who else is involved?"

Chen Fang asked.

Xu Lianyun smiled mysteriously.

And said, "Why? Still not satisfied when I'm here? Don't be too greedy, okay?"

As she spoke.

Xu Lianyun playfully tapped her finger on Chen Fang's chest.

At that moment.

Chen Fang finally understood.

Xu Lianyun heard about Jiang Chuo's transfer and gave up her chance to take a top position, finding a way to be with Chen Fang instead.

Her aim was to help Chen Fang.

It's important to know that cross-provincial transfers for bureau-level officials are difficult.

For Xu Lianyun to appear here so smoothly.

It could only mean she made significant sacrifices for this.

"You didn't come to my wedding."

Chen Fang suddenly said.

Xu Lianyun smiled faintly.

And said, "I figured, when you're happy you wouldn't need me, but now that you're in trouble, you can't do without me."

After saying this, she turned and walked into the Provincial Committee building.

In an instant.

A wave of overwhelming gratitude surged forth.

Watching Xu Lianyun's retreating figure.

Chen Fang smiled.

He smiled like a child.

He quickly jogged to catch up.

Shouting, "Minister Xu, wait for me... Why are you walking so fast..."

If it were only Chen Fang's appointment.

A simple pre-appointment talk with the Provincial Committee Organization Department's deputy minister might suffice.

But now there's Xu Lianyun too.

Though they're of the same rank.

She's a member of the Xiaxiang City Committee.

In this situation, the provincial organization minister, Chen Feng, had to make a personal appearance.

Chen Feng was a slender, petite figure.

With a dark complexion.

His face looked earnest and harmless.

But when he saw Xu Lianyun, his eyes lit up.

He was initially seated at his desk.

Immediately got up, scampered over, and eagerly shook Xu Lianyun's hand, reluctant to let go, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Comrade Xu Lianyun, we've been eagerly expecting you, great, great... Our Jiangdong Province's organizational front has gained another heroine..."

Today, Xu Lianyun was dressed appropriately.

Wearing a lace-trimmed blouse.

Covered by a gray suit.

Though she was wrapped up tightly.

The curve of her chest was something not every woman could compare to.

Chen Feng's eyes naturally focused there.

Xu Lianyun was at a loss.

Unable to directly pull her hand away.

Seeing this.

Chen Fang took the initiative to step forward.

And said, "Minister Chen, nice to meet you, I'm here to report, Chen Fang."

"Hmm, you wait outside for a moment. I'll finish Comrade Lianyun's process and then call you."

Chen Feng was effectively issuing an order to leave.

His intention was clear.

Once he got Chen Fang out, he could have more "moments" with Xu Lianyun.
