"Mayor Wang, why don’t you come in and sit down for a while? I’ll report my work to you."
Wang Xiaofei smiled and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Tao stared at Wang Xiaofei’s retreating figure, lost in thought for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
Returning to his own office, Wang Xiaofei sat there, pondering how to break the impasse.
Wang Xiaofei never thought about seizing power, but from this series of events, he knew that without power in his hands, he would be unable to accomplish anything.
After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaofei got up and walked towards Cao Zhengfei’s office.
Cao Zhengfei’s office was adjacent to Wang Xiaofei’s. Just as Wang was about to knock on the door, he heard Cao Zhengfei quietly talking to someone.
"I understand, don’t worry. I’ll definitely put the project in your hands. What’s our relationship anyway?"
"Mayor Cao, come to the county tonight for some fun. Some pretty girls just arrived."
"Haha, you rascal. Alright, I’ll go tonight and help appraise them."
"Mayor Cao, we’ll definitely make a fortune this time. Just do whatever you want with the things below and circle the money out."
As they spoke, the two laughed tacitly.
Hearing this, Wang Xiaofei turned and left.
Although the two men’s words were vague, Wang Xiaofei understood certain aspects. This involved the issue of funds allocated from above. Cao Zhengfei was colluding with a certain boss, and the funds that would be allocated were likely to end up in their pockets. Furthermore, Cao Zhengfei’s relationship with the boss was quite close - were they going to play with women tonight?
Upon learning this, Wang Xiaofei laughed. Since he was annoyed about this matter, they shouldn’t blame him for not letting them off the hook.
Originally, Wang Xiaofei thought that Cao Zhengfei obtaining funds to help poor Tilted Sunset Village was a good thing, so he didn’t want to target them. But as it turned out, the funds they obtained were only using poor villages as an excuse, which Wang Xiaofei certainly would not let them get away with.
During the whole day of work, Wang Xiaofei appeared to be quite idle. No one came to report their work to him, and even Cao Jie from the police station did not come to report, completely ignoring Wang Xiaofei’s existence.
At this time, the cadres in the township were also secretly observing the events. When Wang Xiaofei first arrived at the township, his strong performance in meetings caught everyone’s attention. They originally thought Wang had a strong background and feared him, but in the end, Wang Xiaofei’s merit was overtaken by others. Now, looking at Wang Xiaofei’s situation, they all secretly sighed that Wang Xiaofei had no solid backing at all.
Actually, not only the ordinary cadres in the township were observing Wang Xiaofei, Alexander Lee was also watching him closely. This time, Matthew Carter’s background person took action, and Alexander Lee followed the current, wanting to use this opportunity to see what kind of situation Wang Xiaofei was in.
After not seeing Wang Xiaofei make any moves in the morning, nor receiving any calls from leaders, Alexander Lee lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Wang Xiaofei didn’t care about everyone’s thoughts. After all, he had made up his mind to use Cao Zhengfei as a stepping stone to gain power today and let everyone see his strength.
As time passed by, after getting off work, Cao Zhengfei, dressed in a suit, walked outside.
Everyone saw that when Cao Zhengfei arrived at the village government’s entrance, a car was already waiting to pick him up. Once he got in the car, Cao Zhengfei left the village.
Wang Xiaofei, with his hands behind his back, also came out of his office and entered his room.
