"Chen Fang, this guy, you said he was pretty formidable, but I think he's just so-so. I thought he would argue with me, but as you saw, he didn't dare to let out even a peep," Zhao Yiping said contemptuously.
"I didn't expect that either. He swallowed such a huge loss without a word—it seems I really overestimated him," Ding Guiqi replied.
"Alright, stop worrying about it. He's just a coward. After this incident, his credibility in the city government office is shot. Just wait for public outrage to brew, then make your move. I'll give you the bonus back, and by then, in the city government office, even if he is the top official, his words won't carry much weight," Zhu Kuang advised.
"Hahaha, then I'll have to thank you, big brother," responded Ding Guiqi with a laugh.
Zhu Kuang waved his hand dismissively, adding, "We're brothers; there's no need for thanks..."
...
After leaving Zhu Kuang's office,
Chen Fang didn't head straight back to the city government office.
