Chapter 649: Premeditated Slander
Fang Chen was a decisive man. He became the highest government official in this city at a young age. After becoming a government official for barely a few years, he had made a lot of accomplishments, so it made sense for him to get transferred to the capital.
Fang Chen was young, so all the old-timers in city hall had an issue with his success. In terms of experience, Fang Chen could not surpass them.
Fang Chen was waiting for the order to get transferred. If his public image got damaged at his stage, his transfer might get affected.
Regardless of the post’s veracity, it would have a deep impact on his career.
Lin Shuwen walked into Fang Chen’s office.
Fang Chen was on the phone, so Lin Shuwen quietly stood by the side without talking. He took his phone out of his pocket and tapped on his social media application.
The comment with the largest number of hits had divulged Fang Chen’s identity. Judging from the pictures, Fang Chen could not be identified since he was wearing a mask and the photo was very grainy.
Instead, Huo Yao’s entire face was very clear. However, no one else had learned of her identity yet. From the looks of it, this slander was clearly premeditated.
Someone was purposely slandering Fang Chen.
After Fang Chen hung up the phone, he raised his head to look at Lin Shuwen and glanced at the phone in Lin Shuwen’s hand. “Are you here to talk to me about the latest online post?”
Lin Shuwen was caught by surprise. “Do you already know about it?”
Fang Chen acknowledged him softly and placed his phone on the desk. “My master just called to talk about this.”
Lin Shuwen instantly realized how Fang Chen came to know about the post. “What did he say?”
Fang Chen leaned into the chair. His gorgeous face had a lot more color than before. He glanced at Lin Shuwen and said, “He has faith in my character.”
Lin Shuwen heaved a sigh of relief to hear this.
Fang Chen’s master was an important government official in the capital. Fang Chen had his master to thank for his success since he was carefully groomed by his master. Also, it was his master who had recommended his transfer to the capital.
Of course, Fang Chen was genuinely a talented government official. Otherwise, his master would not have recommended him.
If their superiors did not react too strongly about the post online, his transfer would go smoothly.
“Get someone to take care of the post. Do your best to avoid disturbing Miss Huo,” said Fang Chen.
The post was clearly out to get him. However, Huo Yao was facing the camera when the picture was taken. If her classmates and teachers caught sight of the post, it would cause damage to her reputation.
“Uh huh. I have already given the order to have it taken down. Also, people are investigating the culprit behind this,” said Lin Shuwen as he nodded.
Someone knocked on the door and Fang Chen said, “Enter.”
“Deputy Mayor Yang has called for an emergency meeting. Please come over,” said Deputy Mayor Yang’s secretary standing by the door.
Lin Shuwen turned to look at him. Just as he was about to say something, Deputy Mayor Yang’s secretary left the room politely without giving him the chance to ask more.
Lin Shuwen frowned. The man had a blatantly arrogant attitude.
“Let me go check it out first,” said Lin Shuwen deeply after contemplating.
Deputy Mayor Yang was always friendly to Fang Chen on the surface but hated Fang Chen in reality.
Now that he had suddenly asked for an emergency meeting, he must be up to no good.
