District Chief Yue was nicknamed Yue Buqun. With a fair face and no beard, he resembled a handsome scholar, and even in middle age, he was quite photogenic. However, his reputation wasn't great; rumors said he was skilled at flirting with female subordinates, and his vague relationships with them were well known. It's said many pretty women in his district, including civil servants, had been involved with him.
With good looks, a high position, and some cunning, it was easy for him to make women submit. Furthermore, he treated those involved well, offering promotions and transfers effortlessly. Of course, these were just rumors; none of the wronged husbands made a fuss, well, not many. A couple of years ago, one man even charged into the District Committee wielding a knife but was eventually apprehended by the police, and the matter didn't escalate further; at least, the man didn't cause any more trouble afterward.
