The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 610 - 610 575 Advance by Retreating

610: Chapter 575: Advance by Retreating 610: Chapter 575: Advance by Retreating After the incident that day, Li Hongxia suddenly realized that her feelings for Liu Hun were far more complicated than what she professed.

She had thought that this man would always be around; little did she expect that he’d be so in demand, stirring a sense of insecurity in this policewoman, especially since her rival was the charming and glamorous female mayor.

Liu Hun was unaware of the little schemes in women’s hearts, and he had been waiting for the provincial distribution concerning personnel changes and dismissals in Yuhua City.

Xia Yanran returned from the provincial meeting and immediately shared the news with Liu Hun.

“Congratulations on your promotion!” Xia Yanran said to Liu Hun with a broad smile.

“Promotion?” Liu Hun asked.

“Deputy Secretary-General of the City Committee, Comrade Liu Hun!” Xia Yanran announced in an official tone, humorously addressing Liu Hun.

“It feels pretty good!

What about you?” Liu Hun, knowing his own lack of qualifications in various aspects, was quite satisfied with any slow progression upward.

Xia Yanran shrugged, “I’m still the director of this office.

Not being punished is good news.

However…” she paused, “Vice Mayor Xiao Yanzi handled the Mingyang Factory incident well, and is now officially the Mayor of Yuhua City.”

This was good news for Liu Hun; he knew that Xiao Yanzi was very ambitious, and her advancement would also benefit him.

“What about Secretary Yang?” Liu Hun suddenly remembered Yang Guangrong.

“Promoted to Provincial Organization Minister!” Xia Yanran said with a smile.

Liu Hun, stroking his chin, asked, “How will we fill the vacancies in our Yuhua City ********?”

“Someone has been transferred from above, you might know him,” Xia Yanran said hesitantly.

“Who?” Liu Hun sensed something strange in Xia Yanran’s expression.

“Chen Kang!”

“Chen Kang?!” Liu Hun was so shocked his jaw almost dropped; he had never imagined that someone who had been double-regulated could make a comeback and even claim the ******** throne.

“How could it be him?!” Liu Hun found it hard to believe, foreseeing that Yuhua City’s development plans would face more difficulties now.

“The things above, nobody can predict,” Xia Yanran mumbled, not wanting to dwell on the topic too long, and handed Liu Hun a letter, “This is from Chen Kang’s secretary, entrusted to me to give to you.

You… better not read it.”

Liu Hun took it and immediately opened it, reading the few provocative and mocking words, “Thanks for your money!

I’m back!” Angered, Liu Hun crumpled the letter.

That night, when Liu Hun was consumed with rage as he thrust into Xiao Yanzi, heightened by her wearing ten-centimeter high heels, Xiao Yanzi said something that almost softened him, “I’ve met with Hongxia.”

Liu Hun had never imagined that the two women had secretly communicated behind his back.

He steadied his heart, his hands still busy, roaming over Xiao Yanzi’s increasingly voluptuous breasts, “How did you two meet?”

“Um…

oh!

Too deep…

that day at the workers’ gathering, she saw me crying, and she knew about us…

slow down…

let’s enjoy slowly,” Xiao Yanzi said, continually twisting her plump hips, slowly rubbing against Liu Hun’s ‘spear’.

Liu Hun thought back but had not noticed the details that day, only felt that the workers were agitated, unaware of the change in these women, “What… did you talk about?”

“At first, she might have had some reservations about me, but later we were fine, and she called me sister,” Xiao Yanzi said, turning her head to kiss Liu Hun.

She could not believe how easily she could twist her waist at her age, without being hindered by her bosom, unaware that all this ease came from Liu Hun’s incessant irrigation.

Sister…

Liu Hun understood that the two women must have reached some agreement, which seemed good to him; it spared him further headaches.

“I love your child, I want to be a mother too, but… let Zhu’er try first; she has long thought about it, she just never told you.”

“I really haven’t seen Zhu’er for a long time.” Liu Hun said somewhat wistfully.

“Don’t talk!

It’s coming!”

Everything was as Liu Hun had anticipated; right after taking office, Chen Kang convened an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the City Committee to propose his own “grand blueprint” for the development of Yuhua City.

After the meeting, Chen Kang, smiling, kept Liu Hun and Xiao Yanzi behind until everyone else had left, then slowly strolled up to them with his briefcase.

“Seems like this worn-out land of yours is still being cultivated diligently, with a significant growth,” said Chen Kang, turning his head and taunting Liu Hun, “I really don’t know why you would pick up this worn-out hag that I’ve used.

Thanks for your money, though, without which I wouldn’t be here today.”

“Chen Kang!

Remember your status!

Don’t be a hooligan here!” Xiao Yanzi, hitting a sore spot, was so furious she couldn’t even speak.

“I almost forgot!

I’m now the big shot of Yuhua City!

Your superior!

Oh, right!

Here’s the latest planning table.

I hope you can fulfill the tasks the party has entrusted to you!” Chen Kang said with a crazed laugh, and just as he reached the door, he couldn’t help but stop, “Forgot to tell you, I have connections at the top now.

Don’t let me catch any dirt on you, or else there will be nowhere you can hide!

Also, don’t even dream of messing with me!”

“Bang!” Chen Kang slammed the door shut and left proudly.

“Don’t take the trash talk to heart!

I’ve taken him down once, and I can certainly do it again!” Liu Hun comforted the trembling Xiao Yanzi by embracing her and patting her back.

After a major shake-up at the Yuhua City Committee, Chen Kang placed many of his own people through connections.

“The creation of a ‘Civilized and Hygienic City’ is very necessary!

It not only enhances the overall image of our Yuhua City but also drives tourism and investment!

It’s a huge benefit!” Du Feng, adjusting his belt, held up Chen Kang’s development plan and exclaimed, “Secretary Chen is our guiding light!

He’s the beacon in the vast ocean!

He has shown us a bright path!

We must follow his planning and guidance, or else we’ll go astray!”

As he laid it on thick, Du Feng suddenly forgot his script, quickly stopped to flip through the document in his hand, then continued pompously, “We are all seasoned comrades of Yuhua City!

There’s not much need for me to elaborate on the situation here.”

“Ahem, but still, I would like to point out a few things,” said Du Feng, raising his finger, “First, although Yuhua City has done well in attracting business and investment in recent years and solved some problems, these are just superficial issues.

Our economy is good, ranking among the top five in the province, but we can’t just focus on substance without considering appearances!

If you look around Yuhua City nowadays, aside from the East District, what place would catch our leaders’ eyes?

If central leaders were to inspect, where would we put our faces?”

“Excellent!

Well said, Secretary Du!”

The audience, waiting for Du Feng to finish his point, seized the pause and promptly applauded.

Du Feng, beaming all over, scanned the crowd of bootlickers when suddenly his expression froze, “Secretary Liu, it seems you might have some different opinions about my summary?”

Knowing that Du Feng was Chen Kang’s man, Liu Hun didn’t want to confront him directly to avoid giving Chen Kang an opportunity to take him down.

Thus, he reluctantly said, “I just found Secretary Du’s speech to be too good, too inspiring that I was completely enthralled.”

Despite the expected flattery, Du Feng couldn’t feel more pleased about himself, “That’s exactly right!

Comrade Liu Hun’s attitude is worth learning from!

I’ve heard before that Comrade Liu Hun, despite his young age, has achievements and doesn’t take the superiors seriously.

It seems that’s not the case!

Comrade Liu Hun is doing great!

Keep it up!”

“Cough, cough, so we must undertake a major transformation of the city’s appearance to welcome the inspection by the senior leadership!” As he spoke, Du Feng pointed at the document and continued, “And Our primary task is to demolish and reconstruct the old housing area in the South District of Yuhua City!”

Liu Hun almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.

The South District could be described as a densely populated residential area, with old houses accounting for eighty percent and a population numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

If they were to blindly carry out demolitions and reconstructions, chaos would inevitably ensue—it was simply a bomb several dozen times larger than Mingyang Factory.

Liu Hun sat below, listening and pondering, but he couldn’t come up with a good solution.

“I am now the main person in charge of this project, and the specifics of what you all need to do will be sent to you shortly,” Du Feng said as he distributed the prepared documents to everyone.

“I hope all my colleagues will do their utmost to complete the task Secretary Chen has entrusted to us and build a better Yuhua City!” After finishing, Du Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone could leave.

When Liu Hun received the document, he saw that his task as the deputy secretary-general of the City Committee was to investigate the actual conditions of area a in the South District and submit a report to Du Feng.

Only after several clerks arrived in the South District and saw it firsthand did Liu Hun learn that Du Feng had divided the South District into four areas, and area a included eight communities, hundreds of buildings, and tens of thousands of residents.

“Damn!

Du Feng has got me counting ants.

Such brute force demolition will displace so many people—where are they to be resettled!” Liu Hun couldn’t help but mutter to himself, fully aware of Chen Kang’s scheme.

The old city’s reconstruction was merely a money-making scheme—displacing original residents to the suburbs or further away, or simply compensating them with a little money, and then selling those prime locations in the South District to developers for profit.

Since Du Feng was in charge, there was no doubt that all the money would end up in Chen Kang’s pockets!

Through Li Hongxia, Liu Hun contacted several police stations in the South District, and with the help of a group of police officers and clerks, he finally completed the investigation of area a.

Half a month later, after Du Feng came out of the ******** office with a livid face, he immediately called a meeting of the responsible parties.

“Liu Hun!

Deputy Secretary-General Liu!

What the hell are you doing!” Du Feng mercilessly threw Liu Hun’s report in front of him, almost hitting his face.

“I don’t understand what Secretary Du means.

I just conducted the field research as Secretary Du requested and came to this conclusion,” Liu Hun replied calmly as he picked up his own report.

“You don’t understand?!

You don’t understand?!

Do you have brain atrophy or underdeveloped cerebellum?!” Du Feng angrily hurled the insults Chen Kang had used at him towards Liu Hun.

“Here in areas b, c, d!

There were no issues!

All the residents agreed to the municipal government’s demolition, only in your area a, 85% of the people disagree!

Are they idiots, or are you the idiot?!

What’s wrong with living in a new house?!” Du Feng continued screaming as he walked up to Liu Hun and aggressively poked his chest, “This is an important basis for future demolitions by the municipal government!

I don’t care what methods you use, you must make me satisfied!

Make Secretary Chen satisfied!

Don’t make me think you’re an idiot!”

“Meeting adjourned!” Du Feng finished ranting, not giving Liu Hun a chance to speak, and promptly left the meeting room, with the others following suit, leaving Liu Hun unattended.

Liu Hun sighed heavily, picked up his report, and pondered.

Although he knew that Du Feng wanted him to falsify information to satisfy Chen Kang’s greed, knowing this, he had no choice but to falsify, but he felt sorry for the people of the South District.
