Chapter 647

"Heh, the Chen Fang I remember should be someone with firm convictions. Yet, no sooner than your promotion did your whole nature change?"

Zhu Hanmin's words were laden with a mix of cold mockery and derision.

Chen Fang responded with a slight smile.

He said, "Secretary Zhu, in Guyang City, I was a leader. Even if people had issues with me, they couldn't touch me. But in Wulan City, in the eyes of some, I am a leader, but in your eyes, I'm still just a nobody. My thinking is simple: self-preservation. I don't want to get involved in your power struggles."

Zhu Hanmin let out a sneer.

He said, "You don't want to get involved? Do you think Zhao Yiping will let you off the hook? You've encroached on his turf. Do you really think he's going to promote you, appreciate you?"

"My issue with Mayor Zhao is a personal grudge, not factional tit-for-tat. I know he despises me, but that's separate from political strife."

Chen Fang said earnestly.

Zhu Hanmin took a deep breath.
