The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

After dinner, Zhang Kai suggested going to a sauna. Hong Xiaojia didn't refuse, and Chen Shi followed them to the VIP sauna center, where there were only long-legged girls, each one more beautiful and radiant than the last.

It was Chen Shi's first time in such a place, and he was overwhelmed by the sights.

The waiter led the three to a private room. The manager then entered with ten girls, smiling broadly, and said, "Those with their hands in front can play around; those with their hands behind are receiving a normal massage."

Zhang Kai glanced at them, then looked at Hong Xiaojia and Chen Shi: "Director Hong, Director Chen, are you satisfied?"

Hong Xiaojia said, "The next batch..."

The manager clapped his hands, and the ten girls left, while ten more girls came in.

Zhang Kai glanced at them and thought they weren't as good as the previous ten: "Next batch."

The manager clapped his hands again, and the ten girls left, while ten more girls came in.

Zhang Kai's eyes lit up; these ten girls were quite pretty. He looked at Hong Xiaojia and Chen Shi and asked, "Director Hong, Director Chen, have you taken a liking to any of them?"

Hong Xiaojia pointed to the girl in the purple dress with her hand in front of her: "She's the one."

The girl in the purple dress, with a full figure and a smile, sat down next to Hong Xiaojia.

Zhang Kai also had a favorite, and chose a girl with her hands in front of her.

Chen Shi randomly picked a girl who had her hands behind her back.

The three men took the girl to a private sauna room to change clothes.

Led by the girl, Chen Shi arrived at the private room. He took a closer look at the girl's figure and thought it was quite good.

The young woman said softly, "Sir, let me help you change your clothes."

Chen Shi sat down, and the girl knelt down to take off his shoes. The service was so attentive; no wonder this was the most popular place in Mingzhou. Their service was truly impeccable.

Chen Shi enjoyed the services of the beautiful women. He changed into clothes provided by the sauna center and the women led him to a private room.

Chen Shi took off his clothes and went to soak in the hot spring. The beautiful woman took off her coat, wearing a bikini, and went into the pool to massage Chen Shi.

After an hour of massage, the girl's soft breasts pressed tightly against Chen Shi's body. At the prime of her life, she had a physiological reaction.

The girl's voice was gentle: "Sir, would you like to play?"

"Weren't you supposed to be unable to play?"

"As long as you pay extra, sir, we'll play however you like."

Chen Shi controlled his desires and insisted on upholding his bottom line, because this kind of thing can be addictive.

"That's enough for now, I'm done with the massage, you can leave."

The young woman looked disappointed, but smiled and said, "I helped my husband wipe his body and get dressed."

Chen Shi followed the girl out of the pool. The girl gently wiped Chen Shi's body and helped him put on his clothes.

The young woman said softly, "Sir, I am technician number thirty-seven. If you are satisfied with me, please choose me next time you come."

Chen Shi hummed in agreement, walked out of the private room, went to a secluded spot, and called Zhang Kai.

I had to call twice before the call was answered.

"Director Chen, did you have fun?"

"Director Zhang, I'm done washing up and I'm waiting for you in the lobby."

"I'll be staying here tonight, and so will Director Hong. If you're not going to play, go back first. Don't wait for us; we'll leave directly tomorrow morning."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "It seems Zhang Kai has been here quite often; he knows the place like the back of his hand."

"Director Zhang, I'll settle the bill. You two have a good time."

Tonight was about his own business, and Chen Shi certainly couldn't let Zhang Kai pay for it. Zhang Kai hung up the phone, still satisfied with Chen Shi; the young man was very sensible.

Chen Shi went to pay the bill and was dumbfounded when he saw the amount on the bill: more than 89,000.

I cursed inwardly, "Damn it, it's too expensive!" But I gritted my teeth and paid the bill anyway, planning to get reimbursed from somewhere else later.

After exiting the Water Cube, he asked Yang Bin to bring the car over. Once inside, Yang Bin asked, "Director Chen, where to?"

"Back to the hotel"

When Chen Shi woke up in the morning, he pondered in his mind how much the Education Bureau could get, given that the Finance Bureau would ask for 100 million yuan, Mingzhou No. 1 Middle School would receive 100 million yuan in support, and he wondered how much the Education Bureau could get.

In the hotel room, I waited until 10:30 before calling Zhang Kai.

The call was answered quickly.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Director Chen, please don't be so polite. Just tell me what's wrong. I'm busy right now."

Chen Shi kept it brief: "Director Zhang, thank you for your support last night. I went to see Director Zhou from the Education Bureau, and he said that the Education Bureau doesn't have the funds to support us financially, but can only support us through policy. I'll have to trouble you to put in a good word for us."

"I know Lao Zhou well. I have something to do this morning, so I'll go with you to the Education Bureau to see Lao Zhou this afternoon. Improving the quality of education in Chunyang County is also his achievement. We'll make sure he scrapes together some money to support you, even if it's just a little bit."

Chen Shi thanked him repeatedly, hung up the phone, and waited patiently in his hotel room.

In the afternoon, Chen Shi arrived at the municipal government to wait for Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai walked out of the municipal government building, and Chen Shi hurriedly went to greet him.

Director Zhang

Zhang Kai smiled and said, "I called Lao Zhou, he's waiting at the Education Bureau, we're going there now."

A car with the Minnesota license plate 002 pulled up, and Chen Shi was dumbfounded. This was the mayor's car. Could a secretary ride in it?

Zhang Kai sat down and said to Chen Shi, "Let's go, let's go now."

This is what it means to borrow someone else's power; this car represents the mayor's authority.

Chen Shi got into his own car and followed Zhang Kai's car to the Education Bureau.

When the security guard at the Education Bureau saw the mayor's car arrive, he was startled and quickly saluted to let it pass.

Ye Li, director of the Party and Government Office, was waiting at the door. When the mayor's car stopped, he jogged over and opened the car door.

Zhang Kai came out with a smile and said, "Director Ye, don't be nervous, Mayor Wang isn't here."

Ye Li said with a smile, "Director Zhang, you've come to the Education Bureau on behalf of Mayor Wang to inspect our work. On behalf of all the staff of the Education Bureau, I warmly welcome you. Director Zhou has canceled several meetings and is waiting for you in his office."

Chen Shi got out of the car and greeted Ye Li with a smile: "Director Ye."

Director Chen Ye Li was surprised to find that Chen Shi had also come.

The three arrived at Zhou Quanfu's office, and Zhou Quanfu quickly stood up to greet them.

"Director Zhang, please have a seat."

Seeing Chen Shi was somewhat unexpected, but he still smiled and said, "Director Chen is here too, please have a seat."

The four sat down in the reception room, and staff poured tea for them and stood by to serve them.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Kai said with a smile, "Old Zhou, Director Chen is carrying out educational reforms in Chunyang County and needs the support of the Municipal Bureau. You can't just stand by and do nothing. If Director Chen improves the quality of education in Chunyang County, you'll also have something to be proud of."

Zhou Quanfu hadn't expected Wang Mingzhang to care so much about his nephew, sending Zhang Kai to intervene. He had to give him face; it seemed he'd have to bleed a little.

"I support it. The Municipal Education Bureau will definitely give strong support to Director Chen's educational reforms in Chunyang County."

Zhang Kai smiled and said, "Old Zhou, stop with the talk and get to the point. Director Chen, I heard we're rebuilding three key high schools. How much money do we need?"

Chen Shi continued, "Chunyang County is an impoverished county with a serious fiscal deficit. The budget is 2.7 billion yuan, but the government has only allocated 1 billion yuan, leaving a deficit of 1.7 billion yuan. I am preparing to report the progress to Director Zhou."

Mingzhou No. 1 High School has confirmed its educational support for Chunyang County, allocating 100 million yuan in funding. Director Hong of the Finance Bureau is also providing strong support to Chunyang County's education system, allocating another 100 million yuan.

Before Zhou Quanfu could speak, Zhang Kai interjected, "Old Zhou, Mingzhou No. 1 High School and the Finance Bureau are both offering their support. As their direct supervisor, what's your stance? How much support will you provide?"
