Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

Upon hearing Li Dakang's words, Ouyang Jing immediately wanted to curse.

But before she could speak, she found that the call had been disconnected.

Considering Li Dakang's unusual behavior, even if Ouyang Jing was naive, she knew that Li Dakang was up to something today.

Shortly after, the door was pushed open, and Ouyang Jing walked in with a displeased expression.

Li Dakang looked at Ouyang Jing, his eyes filled with longing, yet he still felt a pang of guilt.

With a thud, Ouyang Jing tossed the keys onto the coffee table, sat down opposite Li Dakang, and placed her handbag beside her.

"Speak up, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to find me?"

"Ouyang, I..." Li Dakang hesitated, feeling embarrassed to say what had happened.

"Alright, stop talking. Even if you hadn't come looking for me, I would have come looking for you anyway."

"It's time for us to settle things."

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to take early retirement and move to Los Angeles."

Ouyang Jing had mentioned it to Tian Xingzhi before, so Li Dakang wasn't surprised.

However, seeing Ouyang Jing's attitude solidified Li Dakang's decision.

However, under these circumstances, Ouyang Jing's mention of this gave Li Dakang a new excuse.

He expressionlessly took two divorce agreements from his briefcase and placed them on the coffee table.

Looking at the words "divorce agreement," Ouyang Jing surprisingly did not have an emotional outburst.

She picked up the divorce papers, flipped through a few pages casually, and then tossed them onto the coffee table.

"This divorce agreement is very important to you, isn't it?" Ouyang Jing looked at Li Dakang calmly.

"Yes, it's very important to me." Li Dakang nodded. "I can't be a 'naked official' whose wife and children are all abroad."

"I can neither persuade my daughter to return to China to settle down, nor can I stop you from leaving."

"So this is my best choice."

Li Dakang had only considered divorcing Ouyang Jing because he had received news that someone had reported her for accepting bribes, and he was afraid of being implicated.

But she knew Ouyang Jing's temperament; if she really brought it up, it might backfire.

So, following Ouyang Jing's words, he said the reason for wanting a divorce was that he couldn't be a "naked official" (an official whose family members have emigrated abroad).

"I know you'll be removed from office once you become a 'naked official' (official with family members residing abroad)."

"Not to mention that Sha Li is unfit to be the governor, even you, the current member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, can't keep your position."

"You, you cherish your official hat too much."

Ouyang Jing was unsure of Li Dakang's true thoughts, but Li Dakang's decision to divorce for the sake of his official position aligned with her understanding of him.

Therefore, at this point, it's best to resort to sarcasm and ridicule.

However, her news may be a bit outdated; Governor Liu has already been confirmed to serve another term.

The dream that Li Dakang and Sha Li were meant to share can only remain a dream.

"Ouyang Jing, what I cherish is the cause that the people and the Party have given me..."

Li Dakang, a municipal party secretary and a member of the provincial standing committee, was mocked by his wife and directly refuted her.

"Stop with the high-sounding talk." But the old fairy Ouyang Jing wasn't buying it at all, interrupting Li Dakang to continue her taunts, "Does the earth stop spinning without you?"

"So, reforms just aren't going to happen?"

"Hey, do you really want to see me step down?" Li Dakang genuinely didn't understand Ouyang Jing's thoughts.

If other women had a husband who was a vice-ministerial level official, they wouldn't know how to fawn over him.

Over the years, it seems that Li Dakang has always been praising her, yet Ouyang Jing still seems unsatisfied.

"Yes, this is the day I've been waiting for." Ouyang Jing replied directly, indicating that she didn't care how high a position Li Dakang held.

All she knew was that ever since she married Li Dakang, she had been constantly on the move because of his job transfers.

She's had enough of this kind of life after all these years.

"Let me tell you, I have one request before we get a divorce."

"Put the land that Shanshui Group has seized from Dafeng Factory out for bidding and let Continental Group do it."

The two almost got into an argument, and finally Ouyang Jing said that she could get a divorce, but Li Dakang had to agree to one request.

Upon hearing this, Li Dakang nearly exploded with anger.

If he didn't know Wang Dalu didn't have the guts, he would have thought he was being cuckolded.

"The Party Secretary of Jingzhou City does not do business with any businessmen."

"What if I don't agree?"

Li Dakang directly rejected Ouyang Jing's request, which angered the old fairy Ouyang Jing so much that she stood up and glared at Li Dakang.

"Then I won't divorce you, and I'll let you become a 'naked official' (an official whose family members have emigrated abroad)!"

After Ouyang Jing finished speaking, she walked straight outside.

"Why don't you just get me dismissed from my post?" Li Dakang shouted at Ouyang Jing's retreating back.

"Yes, that's what I've always thought." Hearing Li Dakang's words, Ouyang Jing turned around and argued with him.

"I just don't understand, what are you afraid of after Ding Yizhen's accident? Huh? What are you afraid of?"

"You didn't even speak to Ding Yizhen about my project."

"So who did you greet? Was there anyone else?"

In the understanding of the old fairy Ouyang Jing, all cadres in Jingzhou City are the same.

Since Li Dakang didn't speak up for Ouyang Jing, maybe Li Dakang has another woman.

It has to be said that the old fairy's thought process is quite unique.

"You know, didn't you send people to investigate me?" Li Dakang became even angrier at this.

Because he didn't give Ouyang Jing's project any advance notice, the other party thought he had another woman and even had someone investigate him, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Can you believe that the wife of the Party Secretary of Jingzhou City hired someone to investigate her husband, a vice-ministerial level official?

Only an old fairy like Ouyang Jing could do something like that.

"Yes, I did investigate. Because you're not normal, and the Shanshui Group is getting so many benefits, it's not normal either," Ouyang Jing roared.

"Alright, alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore."

"We'll talk again once you've calmed down."

Li Dakang found himself struggling to deal with a woman like Ouyang Jing, a seasoned politician, and quickly stopped.

He couldn't understand why he couldn't comprehend Ouyang Jing's motives and logic in doing and speaking, which made his emotions follow Ouyang Jing's emotions.

"I'm telling you, I'm very calm right now." Li Dakang wanted to call a truce, but the old fairy Ouyang Jing wasn't going to cooperate.

"I'll say it again: if you give the Shanshui Group's projects to the Continental Group, I'll divorce you."

"You're dreaming!!" Li Dakang roared, realizing he had lost and his emotions had been completely swayed by Ouyang Jing.

After yelling, Li Dakang realized he'd messed up and walked away angrily.

He really didn't want to argue with Ouyang Jing anymore; she was such a formidable opponent that he felt she was even more troublesome than his opponents at the Standing Committee meetings.

Ouyang Jing was also stunned by Li Dakang's shout. By the time she realized that the man had yelled at her, Li Dakang was no longer in front of her.

She angrily grabbed her handbag and threw it hard in the direction Li Dakang had left, her lips trembling with rage...

Damn it, don't let Ouyang Jing get to you and make you so caught up in the argument that you forgot he called her back because he wanted to divorce her.

Back in his study, Li Dakang smacked his head hard, filled with regret.
