"You want to talk to my dad about something? Chen Feng, did I hear you right? Weren't you just saying that you didn't need my dad to specifically arrange for a developed coastal area and a famous mountain district to form a partnership, and now you're looking for my dad to talk? Isn't that contradictory?"
Cheng Lu looked at Chen Feng with surprise.
"Xiao Lu, your sensitivity to the political arena needs improvement. Your dad is the top leader in Jiangcheng, and I am the Director of the Development and Reform Commission of the Ming Mountain District in Jiangcheng. Is the communication between us just limited to the matter of the partnership?"
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Then tell me, what is it exactly?"
Cheng Lu asked curiously.
"I want to talk to your dad about how to bring down Deputy District Mayor Leng Ning."
Chen Feng didn't hide anything.
"What? You want to bring down Deputy District Mayor Leng Ning? Why? I heard that Deputy District Mayor Leng Ning has new backing. I heard it's some big shot from the provincial capital. Why look for trouble? She doesn't seem to have done anything outrageous, has she?"
Cheng Lu asked with confusion.
"Leng Ning hasn't done anything outrageous, nor is she heinous. However, she did something she shouldn't have done, and she must be brought down."
Chen Feng replied seriously.
"She did something she shouldn't have done? Did she offend you?"
Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
"It's not that she offended me, but that she offended Qin Yan. Relying on her connections, she was arrogant in front of Qin Yan, which greatly damaged Qin Yan's leadership authority. The entire staff of the Ming Mountain District must know that disrespecting Qin Yan means getting the boot."
Chen Feng explained patiently.
"Chen Feng, you're defending Director Qin so much in front of me, aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"
Cheng Lu pouted.
"Xiao Lu, don't misunderstand. I'm not just trying to please Qin Yan. I'm doing this for the people of the Ming Mountain District. Think about it, if Director Qin Yan of the Ming Mountain District loses her authority, how can she lead the people of the Ming Mountain District to prosperity and a happy life?"
Chen Feng retorted.
"Alright, you're right. By the way, I'm taking you back to the Cheng family. Do you want me to help you talk to my dad about this matter?"
Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
"If it were something else, you could help me mention it. As for Leng Ning, there's no need."
Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"Looking at you, it seems you're very confident that my dad will agree with you. I have to remind you, my dad is very cautious in his actions, and he won't offend Leng Ning just like that."
Cheng Lu asked curiously.
"Xiao Lu, to be honest with you, Leng Ning not only offended Qin Yan, but she will also offend your dad in the future. Therefore, your dad will definitely agree to bring down Leng Ning."
"What? Leng Ning is going to offend my dad in the future? How is that possible? My dad is the number one person in Jiangcheng, and Leng Ning is just a deputy district mayor of the Ming Mountain District. The power difference between them is huge. What qualification does Leng Ning have to offend my dad?"
Cheng Lu asked with disbelief.
"Did you forget? Leng Ning has connections in the provincial capital."
Chen Feng reminded her calmly.
At this point, Cheng Lu stopped asking. There was nothing more to ask. Since Chen Feng had considered all aspects, he must have a way to help her dad.
In the evening, Cheng Lu took Chen Feng to the Cheng family villa.
To allow her father and Chen Feng to speak freely, Cheng Lu went directly to her room to sleep.
During this period, Chen Feng was mostly not at the Ming Mountain District Development and Reform Commission, as he was busy with other matters. Therefore, all the major and minor affairs of the Ming Mountain District Development and Reform Commission were handled by her alone, and she was truly tired.
So, she took this opportunity to sleep and rest.
"I'm very curious, how can a mere Deputy District Mayor Leng Ning of the Ming Mountain District offend me?"
Cheng Liren asked directly.
"Elder Cheng, let me ask you a question: are you a conservative in politics, or an extremist?"
Chen Feng asked calmly.
"Conservative, everyone knows that."
"It is precisely because you are a conservative that Leng Ning can trap you."
Chen Feng replied accordingly.
"That's interesting. Then tell me, how did Leng Ning use my conservative identity to trap me?"
Cheng Liren asked with interest.
"It's very simple. Because the provincial capital connections behind Leng Ning are extremists. From ancient times to the present, political struggles and factional standoffs have been the most ruthless. They all want to destroy the other side. The extremists in the provincial capital have not yet noticed you, a conservative in Jiangcheng. Therefore, we must bring down Leng Ning before they notice."
Chen Feng explained patiently.
"Chen Feng, you also said earlier that the provincial capital connections behind Leng Ning are extremists. Do you think I, a conservative, can bring down a subordinate of the extremists?"
Cheng Liren retorted.
"No."
Chen Feng replied truthfully.
"Since you know that it's impossible, is there any point in discussing Leng Ning's matter?"
"Yes! We can't do it openly, to avoid provoking the provincial capital extremists. However, we can do it covertly."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Covertly? What do you mean? I don't quite understand."
Cheng Liren asked, confused.
"Covertly means letting Leng Ning be fired by Jiangcheng personnel for making a mistake. This way, the extremists in the provincial capital will have nothing to say."
Chen Feng explained.
"As far as I know, Leng Ning is just a trophy girl, a trophy girl kept by the extremists in the provincial capital. There's no such thing as making a mistake in politics."
Cheng Liren explained.
"That's even better."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"If there's no handle to grasp, how can it be better?"
Cheng Liren asked, confused.
"Elder Cheng, Leng Ning indeed has no handle in politics. However, she has a handle in her relationships, which is just as good, or even better. As long as we find evidence of Leng Ning's improper relationships, the provincial capital extremists will definitely deal with Leng Ning. We men should know that powerful men are most disgusted by others touching their women, even if they themselves cannot satisfy the women they keep, they absolutely will not allow others to touch them."
Chen Feng explained.
"Chen Feng, I don't think Leng Ning would be that foolish, right? With such powerful connections in the provincial capital, she's still looking for men outside?"
Cheng Liren retorted.
"Elder Cheng, you still don't understand women. Especially women like Leng Ning who use their bodies as bargaining chips. Let me put it this way, such women are like Pan Jinlian. If a man cannot satisfy her physically, she will definitely find other men to satisfy her. The provincial capital extremists are almost sixty years old, aren't they? Do you think he can satisfy Leng Ning's physical needs?"
"Certainly not."
"Since he cannot satisfy her, Leng Ning will definitely find other men. Now the question is, how can we find evidence of Leng Ning's infidelity? With this evidence, we don't need to act; the provincial capital extremists will send Leng Ning to prison themselves."
Chen Feng said thoughtfully.
"To be honest, I really have no way."
Cheng Liren replied truthfully.
"How about this, Elder Cheng, you can deliberately send Leng Ning on a business trip to Jiangcheng tomorrow under the name of Jiangcheng. I will follow her quietly, and I will definitely be able to capture evidence of Leng Ning's infidelity."
Chen Feng suddenly thought of a good idea.
"Will this work?"
Cheng Liren asked doubtfully.
"It will definitely work. Women are like men. As long as they leave the monitoring area of their partners, they will inevitably become restless."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Chen Feng, I find that you understand matters between men and women so well now. In that case, let's proceed with your plan. I will call the Ming Mountain District right now and ask them to send Leng Ning on a business trip to another province for a week. By the way, under what pretext should Leng Ning be sent to another province? Leng Ning is not stupid. If we give her a casual excuse to go on a business trip, she will definitely become suspicious."
Cheng Liren asked Chen Feng.
