Excavation site.
Xiao Dongnan was stunned. "Secretary Chen!"
Secretary Chen led the group forward at an unhurried pace, inspecting the site.
"Secretary Chen! I..." Xiao Dongnan still wanted to salvage the situation. He had no idea what was going on. How had he been removed?
Many people from the Provincial Work Group looked at one another in confusion.
But Secretary Chen still ignored him and continued his inspection.
Seeing that Xiao Dongnan was about to say more, a provincial cadre tugged at him. "Old Xiao, enough. The secretary has already made his decision. What good will saying all that do?"
Only then did Xiao Dongnan calm down a little. "But this..."
The provincial cadre comforted him. "It's just the position of team leader. It makes no difference who does it."
Xiao Dongnan understood that it was only the position of work group leader. Without it, he would still work at the Culture Hall, and his other posts would not change. But this was not about the post itself. To Xiao Dongnan, it was a very bad sign. He had always believed he had a good relationship with the province and was well liked. Otherwise, after people learned he was pursuing Fang Wenping, so many Provincial Leaders would not have tried to bring them together. It was even said that Secretary Chen had personally spoken to Fang Wenping after learning about it. Yet now, Dong Xuebin, someone from a lower-level department, had contradicted him, Xiao Dongnan, a superior leader. No matter what had happened or who was right, it was improper for a subordinate to contradict a superior. This was a government office where seniority mattered. But what happened? Xiao Dongnan had complained to Secretary Chen, only for Secretary Chen to remove him instead? He had not even said another word?
