This is what we call a strategic retreat.
Chen Fang took on a big responsibility and turned Ding Guiqi's trap into his own proposal.
Zhao Yiping's reprimand was expected.
With that, the predicament had been easily resolved.
Meanwhile.
In Zhu Kuang's office.
The two shared a dirty joke, laughing heartily.
Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.
Zhu Kuang picked up the phone and said naturally, "This is Zhu Kuang."
Ding Guiqi couldn't hear what was said on the phone, but he watched as Zhu Kuang's face grew darker by the second.
After hanging up.
Ding Guiqi asked, "What happened?"
Zhu Kuang, frowning, replied, "That was Hu Xintian. He said Zhao Yiping personally called him and ordered him not to stop the municipal office's bonus issuance. Otherwise, he might as well not be the Director of the Finance Bureau anymore."
Ding Guiqi was taken aback.
