"County Chief Zhou, please don't make it difficult for me. This is all Secretary Xiang's idea, and I can't go against him," Fan Wenze deliberately put on a helpless look.
Everyone knew that on the day Xiang Yongtao took office, the first to align himself with Xiang Yongtao was Fan Wenze. Since the two were in cahoots, it was nothing but intentional targeting of Zhou Weining here.
"County Chief Zhou, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I still have some matters to attend to on my end. Once you've drafted the list of candidates, just send it to me," Fan Wenze greeted, then left the office.
He had just left when Zhou Qing hurried into the office, quickly replaced Zhou Weining's tea with a hot one, and said anxiously, "Brother Ning, please don't get angry. Have some tea to calm down. It's all just a ploy by Secretary Xiang and Minister Fan."
