Chen Fang returned to the Education Bureau and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.
So, he called in Shao Rui, the head of the office.
Shao Rui had always been Pan Youde's confidant, capable of providing some information about the last hospitality event.
That was one of the reasons why Chen Fang kept Shao Rui around.
Chen Fang first went over the details of what had happened.
He then said, "Normally speaking, when people from the Yongfu Education Group come for an inspection, it should certainly be the county leaders who receive them. Even if Li Xiaomin personally took care of it, it wouldn't be excessive. So why was the head of the preparation team in charge of the reception?"
Shao Rui swallowed hard.
He looked like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to.
Chen Fang glared at him.
Shao Rui caved in.
He said, "The leaders didn't receive them because they wanted to avoid suspicion."
"Avoid suspicion? Why would they need to avoid suspicion?"
