At that moment, as everyone wore puzzled expressions, Feng Huzhou was also boiling with anger.
He hadn't expected that his scheme against Chen Bin would, instead, end up elevating this brat.
But Feng Huzhou, after all, was a seasoned leader who had navigated the bureaucracy for years. Despite his fury, not a trace of it showed on his face.
"Haha, County Magistrate Chen, you sure know how to crack a joke. You almost had me believing it."
Hearing this, the crowd was once again bewildered.
Could it be that Feng Huzhou wasn't Chen Bin's backer after all?
After shaking hands with Chen Bin, Feng Huzhou purposefully approached Xiong Wubing.
Ye Hong noticed and quickly explained.
"This is Comrade Xiong Wubing, recently transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture to serve as Deputy Secretary of the County Committee."
Xiong Wubing was the first to greet him.
"Hello, Secretary Feng!"
Feng Huzhou promptly inquired with concern, "How's your work going lately?"
