You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

"Brother, I really want to improve!"

Qi Tongwei leaned forward, his tone earnest: "Brother Shen, I know your relationship with Secretary Sha is special."

"If you could put in a good word for me with Secretary Sha and get my matter resolved as soon as possible, I, Qi Tongwei, would remember this favor for the rest of my life!"

"From now on in Handong, my resources, Qi Tongwei's resources, will be your resources."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang nodded in understanding.

So that's what happened.

He thought Qi Tongwei wanted him to improve his skills out of thin air, but that was too difficult.

Unless Sha Ruijin killed someone and he saw it.

However, if it's just about unfreezing an appointment that has already gone through all the procedures and is only one step away from completion, then it's worth a try.

"Alright."

Shen Wang raised his glass: "I'll try my best to put in a good word for you, but let me make this clear from the start: I'm only responsible for relaying the message, not guaranteeing the outcome."

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Qi Tongwei was overjoyed. He slammed his hand on the table, picked up his wine glass again, and drank it all in one gulp.

Gao Xiaoqin also raised her glass at the opportune moment, smiling as she smoothed things over: "I would also like to toast Mr. Shen, wishing Director Qi a speedy advancement, and Mr. Zhou a bright future."

The atmosphere at the ensuing banquet was completely harmonious.

Qi Tongwei completely abandoned his airs as a department head, treating Shen Wang like a brother and exchanging toasts.

Gao Xiaoqin stood by with a charming smile, constantly pouring wine and serving food to the two of them.

Zhou Ming completely relaxed and kept toasting Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin, his smile never fading.

He knew that from this day forward, his life would be completely different.

The meal lasted until late at night.

When Shen Wang and Zhou Ming walked out of the Shanshui Manor, the moon was already high in the sky.

Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin personally escorted them to the door and watched them get into the car before turning back.

. . .

As soon as Shen Wang got into the taxi, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was a WeChat message from Qin Ran: "I just finished get off work and got off work. Are you done, junior?"

If Shen Wang replies, Qin Ran will go to the large apartment; if Shen Wang doesn't reply, Qin Ran will go back to her dormitory.

Shen Wang leaned against the car door, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he replied, "Just came from Shanshui Manor, about twenty minutes from home."

"What a coincidence, I'm in the same boat. I'll head over there then."

Twenty minutes later, Shen Wang swiped his card and entered his spacious apartment.

He had just thrown his coat on the sofa and hadn't even had time to change his shoes when he heard a knock on the door.

"They're here."

Shen Wang walked over and opened the door.

Qin Ran stood at the door, still wearing the same smoky gray suit she wore during the day, her hair now loose and flowing smoothly over her shoulders.

His face showed a hint of fatigue, but his eyes lit up the moment he saw Shen Wang.

She leaned closer, gently sniffing Shen Wang's neck, her brows furrowing slightly, her voice full of concern: "You've had quite a bit to drink again, haven't you? You reek of alcohol."

"There's no way around it; when you're having dinner with Qi Tongwei, you always have to have a few drinks."

Shen Wang smiled and stepped aside to let her in: "How about you? You must be exhausted after a long day?"

"fine."

Qin Ran closed the door and reached out to help Shen Wang unbutton his shirt: "The 30 billion gold has all been deposited into the ICBC vault, the accounts have been checked, and the orders have been placed with the various suppliers."

She looked up at the bloodshot eyes in Shen Wang's eyes and touched his face tenderly: "You must be exhausted. I'll go run you some hot water so you can take a bath and relax."

Before Shen Wang could speak, she turned and walked into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Shen Wang followed her in, leaned against the door frame, and watched Qin Ran's back as she bent down to test the water temperature.

The senior student has a very slim waist, and her bodycon skirt accentuates her perfect curves, making one's heart flutter.

"Stop bothering."

Shen Wang walked over and gently hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: "You've had a busy day too, let's go for a soak together."

Qin Ran's body trembled slightly, and her ears turned red instantly.

She bit her lip, gently pushed Shen Wang away, and shook her head: "No, you go to the bar by yourself. I'll go prepare a surprise for you."

"A surprise?" Shen Wang raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What kind of surprise?"

"It's a secret." Qin Ran winked playfully and gave him a nudge. "Hurry up and take a bath; you'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, she ran out of the bathroom like a little rabbit, closing the door behind her.

Shen Wang smiled and shook his head, not asking any further questions.

He took off his clothes and got into the bathtub.

The warm water instantly enveloped my body, dispelling all fatigue and the smell of alcohol.

Shen Wang leaned back in the bathtub, closed his eyes, and went through the events of the day in his mind.

Blind date, delivery of 30 tons of gold, Qin Ran's confession, helping her cousin transfer jobs, making a deal with Qi Tongwei...

To be honest, this is the first time I've been this busy in the future.

How about we start a company here or something?

When things get busy, the secretary will handle it; otherwise...

Wait a minute, isn't the senior a secretary? Why would she start a company?

Can't I hire more secretaries?

After soaking for about twenty minutes, Shen Wang felt completely refreshed.

He then dried himself off, changed into a loose set of pajamas, and left the bathroom.

The living room lights were off, except for a floor lamp that emitted a soft, orange glow.

Shen Wang spotted Qin Ran squatting by the door at a glance.

She had taken off her suit jacket and was only wearing a white silk shirt, exuding a pure and alluring charm.

Two fair and slender legs were bowing their heads as they carefully wiped a pair of shoes in their hands.

Those were brand new red-soled stilettos.

The heels were thin and high, a full ten centimeters.

The red patent leather gleamed alluringly under the lights, so sexy that it was impossible to look away.

Shen Wang was taken aback.

"What are you doing?" he asked, puzzled.

Qin Ran looked up, smiled at him, and waved the shoe-shining cloth in her hand: "Shoe-shining, huh?"

Shen Wang was even more confused.

He twitched his nose and smelled a faint scent of alcohol.

"If you're going to shine shoes, why are you using alcohol?"

Qin Ran tilted her head slightly, a sly smile on her face, along with a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"This is the surprise I prepared for you."

"what?"

Shen Wang looked bewildered: "What kind of surprise is this?"

Qin Ran snorted and said softly, "Didn't I say at the coffee shop today that I'd unlock the Queen storyline for you tonight?"

Shen Wang swallowed hard.

"So...you...did it all for...?"

Qin Ran's face flushed bright red instantly, all the way down to her ears.

"I bought these shoes this afternoon, and I've never worn them before, but... just to be on the safe side, I'll wipe them down with alcohol first..."

Shen Wang: "..."

Just to be safe!

Am I that kind of person?

I would never...

Shen Wang looked at Qin Ran in front of him.

She was wearing a loose white shirt, with the top two buttons undone, revealing her delicate collarbone.

"Senior."

"Um?"

"Wipe...clean it up."
