First update,

Director Ye's courtesy and warmth made Qin Fang feel a bit guilty, but he also knew it was motivated by self-interest, so he accepted it comfortably and rightfully.
After this meal, the relationship between Qin Fang and Director Ye had improved significantly. Director Ye also made it very clear that in Ninghai, as long as he could help, he, Ye Heng, would never shirk his duty.
This promise was both offensive and defensive and was indeed the greatest commitment the old fox Ye Heng could offer. After all, Ninghai is the capital of Jiangnan Province, and his power as a city bureau chief was significant, but not without limits. There were the city's Party Committee and Municipal Government to consider, not to mention the direct oversight of the Provincial Department and the Party Committee and Provincial Government looming over him.
