Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 640 - 145. Ascend in One Step! Become a Council Member!_3

Clearly, the orders they had received were that today there would be an important meeting at the Governing Hall, and many significant figures would be attending, requiring flawless execution of security. However, they couldn't have imagined that Fang Ze would also turn out to be one of these significant figures.

Fang Ze's gaze lingered on several people for a moment, then he smiled at Bai Ling before striding towards Jiang Cheng.

Seeing Fang Ze in a pure purple outfit, jealousy almost spilling from his eyes.

That was attire only a noble Family Head could wear! Only three people in a state were eligible to wear such attire, and even a managing region had only about 20 people!

Yet, Fang Ze was wearing it!

Upon considering that because of Fang Ze's Death Warrant, he had stayed up all night, and just when he thought to sneak in some rest, who knew he would again be busy with Fang Ze's awards ceremony. This kept him occupied all day! By evening...he still couldn't sleep, as he had to continue laboring. He just wanted to tear Fang Ze into pieces!

Especially as he thought of his various hardships, labor, guilt, and anxiety. Fang Ze was there, unhurriedly climbing the ranks and getting rich, embracing a beautiful maid, doing indescribable things, which absolutely infuriated him!

Perhaps detecting his mood, Fang Ze glanced at him and then said, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng snapped back to reality, looked at Fang Ze, and with great effort suppressed the jealousy and atmosphere inside him, managing a strained smile on his face, "No, nothing, Councilor Fang."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Fang Ze immediately displayed an intoxicated expression, "Ss~ that title sounds nice. Come, call me that a few more times."

Jiang Cheng:.....

Jiang Cheng was indeed a person capable of bending. Hearing Fang Ze's words, he squeezed out another smile, "Councilor Fang, you jest. The Judgment Chief is waiting for you."

"Ss~ sounds nice." Fang Ze once again deliberately showed an intoxicated expression, then patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, "Little Jiang, lead the way."

Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched....

Little...Jiang...

Fang Ze, you're damn too arrogant!

Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Councilor Fang, I'll take you up...."

The interaction between the two was almost entirely observed by the heads of various departments in Emerald City.

Fang Ze was known for his arrogant and eccentric behavior. Thus, his teasing of Jiang Cheng didn't surprise them. What did surprise them was...Jiang Cheng's reference to Fang Ze as a "Council Member"....

In fact, like Gu Qing and Xun Yi, before meeting Fang Ze, they only knew that some important figures would come to Emerald City, but they weren't clear about who it was or what had happened.

After all, nobility awards were far too remote for them.

Yet when Fang Ze stepped out of his car dressed in pure purple noble attire, they were slightly surprised. When they later heard Jiang Cheng refer to Fang Ze as "Council Member," they were even more amazed.

Council Member?

This was a power center for a state! In the vastness of Xida State, with a population of over 100 million, there were only 72 Council Members. All were significant enough that a mere stamp of their foot could shake Xida State three times.

And now...Fang Ze had become a Council Member?

How did he become a Council Member?

If he truly had become a Council Member, then the entire power structure of Emerald City would have to undergo a radical change....

Thinking this, several department heads covertly exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Clearly, everyone was puzzled about this matter.

As the voices of Fang Ze and Jiang Cheng were not low, they also reached the ears of Gu Qing, Xun Yi, Bai Ling, and Wang Hao.

Seeing the cautious demeanor of Jiang Cheng and hearing his reference to Fang Ze, they too were rather surprised.

Gu Qing and Xun Yi were okay, exchanging glances and roughly guessing the truth of the matter.

But Wang Hao seemed a little more startled.

Looking at the back of his roommate from just three months ago, his mouth was so agape with surprise that he couldn't close it.

He had already been utterly shocked when Fang Ze had become the head of the Security Bureau. And now he was suddenly a Council Member?!

He considered himself quick to be promoted, now already a deputy head at the Investigation Bureau. But Fang Ze was faster....

Thinking this, Wang Hao was a bit stunned: Was he the one with the fortuitous encounter, or was it Fang Ze?

With Lord Devil's help, he had merely become a deputy head. How had Fang Ze suddenly become a Council Member?

As for Bai Ling, she hadn't thought so much. She was just nibbling on her fingertip, pondering: Council Member, huh? Does that mean Fang Ze has money to pay me back now?

Huh? If I use his name to claim debts, could I also get them paid back?

....

While everyone was shocked by Fang Ze's identity, he had reached the meeting room on the fourth floor. At this moment, the old man who had left a good impression on Fang Ze last time was already waiting there.

Seeing Fang Ze enter, he couldn't help but show a smile on his benevolent face. Then he beckoned to Fang Ze, saying, "Come, child. Before the award ceremony starts, let me have a word with you."

He paused, then added, "It's about your position, and the legacy you're inheriting...."
