After breaking up with my boyfriend, I made a fortune and rose rapidly in my career.

The dinner that followed the meeting.

Sun Chuanhong and Xiao Yuhan went through the motions, offered a few toasts, and then left early.

They left the venue to Su Ruoxue and the local businessmen from Yunzhou.

Chen Pingfang once again became the center of everyone's attention.

"Section Chief Chen, on behalf of Huaying Capital, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Su Ruoxue, holding a wine glass, walked up to Chen Pingfang. Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone around could hear her.

"I've read the Jinshui Bay plan many times. It's very well thought out, and I admire it very much."

As soon as she spoke, the surrounding voices quieted down.

All eyes turned to the beautiful CEO from Beijing and Chen Pingfang, who had just been promoted from Yunzhou.

"Ms. Su, you're too kind. That was a collective idea." Chen Ping raised his glass and lightly clinked it with hers, a smile on his face, but he took a half step back.

Su Ruoxue took a small sip of red wine, her eyes slightly intoxicated, and was also sizing up Chen Pingfang.

"A team? I think a good team is all about having a good leader." She put down her wine glass, leaned forward, and a scent of perfume wafted into Chen Pingfang's nose. "Section Chief Chen, you are that leader."

Upon hearing this, several colleagues from the municipal government exchanged glances and silently lowered their heads.

That's going too far.

This no longer sounded like a compliment; it was clearly a deliberate attempt to cause trouble for Chen Pingfang.

The dinner ended in this strange atmosphere.

Just as Chen Ping was about to leave with Guo Xiaojun, Su Ruoxue suddenly followed from behind.

"Section Chief Chen, wait a moment."

She seemed to twist her ankle, and her body swayed, ending up leaning against Chen Pingfang's arm.

"Sorry, I think I drank a bit too much, I'm dizzy." Su Ruoxue held her forehead, a blush rising on her face.

Just as she helped Chen Pingfang regain his balance, a cold card was quietly slipped into Chen Pingfang's suit pocket.

Her movements were quick and discreet.

Su Ruoxue raised her head, looking at Chen Pingfang with hazy eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Section Chief Chen, I have a few more details I'd like to ask about regarding that 1 billion yuan investment. I'm in room 1808 upstairs. If it's convenient for you... could you come to my room so we can discuss it in more detail?"

After saying that, she let go of his hand and, with the help of her assistant, walked towards the elevator, leaving only a swaying figure behind.

Chen Ping stood there, his hands in his pockets, his fingertips touching the room key, his face expressionless.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing by around the corner of the corridor.

He was Sun Chuanhong's driver.

...

10 PM, Yunzhou International Hotel, 18th floor.

Chen Ping stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the door of the presidential suite, number 1808.

Without much hesitation, he took out his room key, and with a "beep," swiped it to open the door.

The man who was hiding in the stairwell taking pictures with his phone saw this scene, immediately posted the photos online, and added a caption.

"Secretary Sun, the fish has taken the bait."

The suite was dimly lit, and there was a strong perfume scent in the air.

Su Ruoxue had changed out of her evening suit and into a black silk nightgown that accentuated her figure. She was leaning against the bar, swirling a glass of red wine in her hand.

"I knew Section Chief Chen would come." She smiled when she saw Chen Pingfang, her eyes fixed on him.

"I couldn't refuse Mr. Su's invitation." Chen Ping closed the door, walked in naturally, and sat down on the sofa.

"Try this, an '82 Lafite, specially opened just for you." Su Ruoxue handed over a glass of wine.

Chen Ping took the wine glass but didn't drink it; he simply placed it on the coffee table.

"What investment details would you like to discuss, Mr. Su?"

Su Ruoxue sat down next to him, the two of them very close.

"Investment isn't urgent," she said, running her finger lightly across the back of Chen Pingfang's hand. "I'm more curious about how someone like Section Chief Chen was made."

"So... captivating, inside and out."

She became increasingly direct in her speech, and her hands started to wander.

Chen Ping leaned back to avoid her touch, then picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"President Su, please just get straight to the point. There's no point in beating around the bush."

Seeing that he didn't react, Su Ruoxue wasn't angry. She just chuckled, took out a black bank card from her handbag, and pushed it in front of Chen Pingfang.

"Alright, Section Chief Chen is a straightforward person, so I won't hold back anymore."

"This is five million, which is considered a consulting fee from Huaying Capital."

"I only have one question: what is the reserve price for Phase II of the Jinshuiwan project?"

Now, let's get to the main topic.

Chen Ping looked at the card and smiled.

His eyes started to glaze over, as if he'd had too much to drink, and his speech became slurred.

"Five million...hehe...Mr. Su, you're really generous..."

As he spoke, his gaze swept across the television on the opposite wall.

There's a small red dot flashing on the socket under the TV.

Hidden camera.

They're filming everything that's happening here.

Chen Ping picked up his wine glass, took another big gulp, and swayed as if he were truly drunk.

He quietly slipped his hand into his pocket and gently pressed a button on the side of his phone.

The phone's recording function is on.

"President Su...you're so beautiful...I'll listen to whatever you say..." Chen Pingfang mumbled, leaning closer to Su Ruoxue.

Su Ruoxue couldn't help but smile.

She thought Chen Pingfang had finally succumbed to the temptations of beauty and money and taken the bait.

"Then tell me quickly..." She leaned on Chen Pingfang's shoulder, breathed into his ear, and started to unbutton his shirt, trying to make the scene more exciting.

"If you say so, not only will I belong to you, but these five million will also belong to you..."

Just as her fingers were about to unbutton the second button.

The hand that was originally on her shoulder suddenly grabbed her wrist forcefully!

"Miss Su, have you finished your act?"

Chen Pingfang, who was drunk just a moment ago, now had a cold look in his eyes, and there was no trace of drunkenness left.

Su Ruoxue's smile froze instantly, and her pupils contracted sharply.

"you…"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just then, the suite door was pounded on, and a loud shout came from outside.

"Police! Open the door for inspection!"

Su Ruoxue's face turned pale. No, the people she arranged weren't like this!

The door was forcibly broken open from the outside using tools.

Seven or eight police officers in uniforms, with serious expressions, rushed in, and the one in the lead showed his badge.

"Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is on duty! Everyone stay put!"

Police quickly brought the scene under control, and soon a forensic officer removed a still-functioning pinhole camera from the socket.

Su Ruoxue was completely stunned by what she saw, and her beautiful face instantly lost all color.

Chen Ping slowly stood up and straightened the collar of his shirt that she had messed up.

He walked up to the removed pinhole camera, picked it up, and pointed it at the small lens.

It's like greeting someone watching a show on the other side of the screen.
