Chapter 153 The Discerning Eye

Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony. Due to the busyness with matters in Mingshan Town during this period, he hadn't allowed Cui Yali to experience her womanhood for a long time. Since she was here, he had to let her feel like a woman.

Thus, Chen Feng skillfully took out the tools he had bought last time…

Two full hours later, the matter concluded.

"Chen Feng, does this way of playing perhaps not suit Tian Runye?" Cui Yali asked, her face flushed as she put on her clothes.

"Aunt Cui, please don't think that way," Chen Feng quickly advised.

"Tell me, why shouldn't I think that way?" Cui Yali asked with a smile.

"If you weren't like Tian Runye, we would have already been intimate. The reason we haven't is that you, like Tian Runye, like Sun Shao'an, but you've always been afraid to be truly intimate with Sun Shao'an," Chen Feng said earnestly.

"Chen Feng, your words are so sweet, they make my heart feel like it's eaten honey. By the way, after you go back, prepare yourself well. This time, the outstanding young grassroots cadre of Jiangcheng will be you." Cui Yali held Chen Feng, her face full of intoxication.

"Outstanding grassroots cadre? Aunt Cui, are you referring to the annual outstanding grassroots cadre selection in Jiangcheng?" Chen Feng asked tentatively.

"That's the one."

"Aunt Cui, I want to give this spot to someone else," Chen Feng said softly.

"To someone else? To whom?" Cui Yali asked tentatively.

"To Mayor Qin."

"Reason?"

"If Mayor Qin is well, then naturally I will be well. Aunt Cui, you are not an outsider, so I won't hide it. In fact, Mayor Qin and I have formed a political alliance. I am Mayor Qin's subordinate, Mayor Qin is my leader, and we advance and retreat together," Chen Feng explained seriously.

"Then tell me honestly, do you like Mayor Qin, or does Mayor Qin like you?" Cui Yali asked with a hint of jealousy.

"Neither," Chen Feng quickly explained.

"You don't like each other? How is that possible?" Cui Yali retorted.

"Aunt Cui, for ordinary people, it would indeed be impossible. It's rare for there to be no story between a female leader and a male subordinate. However, Mayor Qin and I are different from others," Chen Feng's mind raced.

What kind of plausible excuse should he use to convince Cui Yali?

"Tell me, what kind of situation do you two have?" Cui Yali asked excitedly.

"Mayor Qin and I have a relationship of mutual appreciation. Mayor Qin has talent in politics, and I also have some talent in politics. Combining them is the greatest manifestation of our interests," Chen Feng replied earnestly. For people in politics, fitting phrases and empty words came naturally.

"You don't have a girlfriend, don't you want to sleep with a woman?" Cui Yali continued her probing.

"Yes," Chen Feng replied crisply.

"Since you said yes, if you want to sleep with a woman, would you look for Mayor Qin?" Cui Yali stared intently at Chen Feng.

"No," Chen Feng replied crisply again.

"Reason?"

"Mayor Qin is my leader. If I constantly thought about sleeping with her, given Mayor Qin's personality, she would definitely fire me. Between my future and a woman, I know which is more important," Chen Feng replied with a serious expression.

"That makes sense, but the problem is, you haven't answered clearly, what do you do when you have desires?" Cui Yali pressed.

"Do I really have to say it?" Chen Feng feigned a mysterious and shy look.

"Of course, I'm very interested."

"Before I met you, Aunt Cui, I would imagine Tian Runye and do it myself. After meeting you, I imagine you and do it myself," Chen Feng said, looking at Cui Yali with a look of infatuation.

"Is that true?" Cui Yali was stunned.

"Of course, it's true, Aunt Cui. You also know that we are in politics. We absolutely cannot mess around outside. If things were exposed, our careers would be ruined," Chen Feng replied earnestly.

"In that case, let's do it," Cui Yali said, taking off her clothes again and lying down in front of Chen Feng.

"Aunt Cui, this matter of yours..." Cui Yali did not reply, but slightly parted her lips. Chen Feng understood...

Another hour passed, and the two finished. Cui Yali was true to her word. After Chen Feng left, she immediately handled the two matters she had promised him. First, Zhao Mingpu's transfer. Second, giving the Jiangcheng Outstanding Grassroots Cadre spot to Qin Yan.

"Mingpu, it's Sunday today, where are you planning to take me to play?" Zhu Hangyi asked Zhao Mingpu in a sweet voice as soon as she woke up.

"Play your head!" Zhao Mingpu, in a terrible mood, immediately cursed.

"Mingpu, what's wrong?" Zhu Hangyi asked cautiously.

"Go ask your ex-boyfriend." Zhao Mingpu hung up the phone with a bang. Zhu Hangyi was bewildered. Filled with doubt, Zhu Hangyi came from Yongming County to the Mingshan Town government.

"Chen Feng, what exactly did you do to Zhao Mingpu? He inexplicably lost his temper at me this morning," Zhu Hangyi questioned him directly.

"He's back at the Religious Affairs Bureau," Chen Feng admitted without concealment.

"What? You made Zhao Mingpu go back to such a sinecure as the Religious Affairs Bureau? Chen Feng, are you sick? I can understand if you hate me, after all, I hurt you. What do you mean by tricking Zhao Mingpu? You're a grown man, how can your heart be so narrow?" Zhu Hangyi questioned Chen Feng emotionally.

"Zhu Hangyi, you think too highly of yourself. The reason I used my connections to send Zhao Mingpu to the Yongming County Religious Affairs Bureau, a promotion in title but demotion in reality, has nothing to do with you," Chen Feng replied calmly.

"You're talking nonsense. Zhao Mingpu has no enmity with you. If it weren't for seeking revenge on me, would you need to target Zhao Mingpu like this?" Zhu Hangyi retorted, exasperated.

"Revenge on you? Zhu Hangyi, are you overthinking things? I have Cheng Lu now, who is ten thousand times better than you. Why would I still be hung up on you? To tell you the truth, the reason I made a move on Zhao Mingpu this time is not my fault. I gave Zhao Mingpu a chance to quickly disburse that poverty alleviation fund for Mingshan Town, but Zhao Mingpu just wouldn't disburse it. There was nothing I could do but tell him to get lost," Chen Feng said coldly.

"You really are sick! Withholding poverty alleviation funds, such things are common in other places, a normal phenomenon. Do you need to do this?" Zhu Hangyi asked with a frown.

"Others are others, I am me. Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave. I still need to go see Mayor Qin," Chen Feng dismissed her.

"Chen Feng, I'll admit you're ruthless. But don't get happy too soon. You have connections in politics, and Zhao Mingpu also has connections in politics. One day, you'll regret this." With that parting threat, Zhu Hangyi resentfully left Chen Feng's office.

"Chen Feng, I was just about to come find you," Qin Yan said excitedly as Chen Feng entered the office.

"Mayor Qin, I came to tell you about the situation with that poverty alleviation fund. Are you perhaps here to talk about the same thing?" Chen Feng asked tentatively.

"The poverty alleviation fund has already been disbursed, there are no major issues. What I wanted to talk about is this matter of the Jiangcheng Outstanding Grassroots Cadre. I heard before that you were the pre-selected candidate. After all, throughout your journey, whether in Wulin Village or Mingshan Town, the significant deeds you've accomplished are clear to everyone above. You are truly deserving of the title of Jiangcheng Outstanding Grassroots Cadre," Qin Yan said earnestly.

"Mayor Qin, it's like this, I told Jiangcheng that I would give this title to you. You are my leader, and without your discerning eye and strong support, I would be nothing. Besides, I don't need this kind of honor for now. You do, so..."

"Chen Feng, I didn't misjudge you. Your vision is broad. Don't worry, we are a community of interest. When I do well, you will definitely not be left out. That… lock the door, please…" Qin Yan said, her face blushing.
