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

The two ate and chatted, and Chen Shi tasted a few bites of each dish, enjoying it immensely.

Gu Jia raised her glass: "Director Chen, let's drink a toast together."

Chen Shi glanced at Gu Jia's flushed face, which made her appear even more alluring. The atmosphere in the private room, with a man and a woman alone, was ambiguous and could easily escalate into something more intimate. He decisively refused, "I won't drink."

Gu Jia chuckled twice: "I didn't expect our Director Chen to be such a straight man, rejecting me so directly, without giving me any face at all."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "If you're going to drink, then drink. Why bother with the traditional 'cross-cupped' toast? It's easy for people to misunderstand."

Gu Jia looked at Chen Shi: "Director Chen, what have you misunderstood?"

"It's not that I misunderstood, it's that I was afraid others would misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding could anyone have? There are only the two of us in this private room. If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know what happened in the room?"

Chen Shi was speechless, then uttered four words: "Solicitation of arguments."

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Am I a weak woman? Why are you trying to reason with me? If you want to do something, just do it. How can a weak woman like me resist?"

Chen Shi drank two cups of wine and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Jia thought to herself, "I refuse to believe I can't win you over."

The relationship between a man and a woman will progress rapidly once they sleep together, and the two will become one, inseparable.

Gu Jia glanced at Chen Shi, drank a glass of wine, stood up, swayed, and fell into Chen Shi's arms.

Chen Shi stood up and helped Gu Jia up: "You're drunk."

Gu Jia exclaimed, "I'm not drunk, you're the one who's drunk!"

After saying that, she hugged Chen Shi tightly and tried to kiss him, but Chen Shi blocked her with his hand.

"What's your room number? I'll take you back."

Gu Jia exclaimed, "I'm not going back. I want to stay with you. You're so handsome. I like you."

Gu Jia looked at Chen Shi with deep affection: "Don't you like me?"

Chen Shi ignored Gu Jia, helped her up, found the room card in her bag, opened the door, and called a female waitress.

"My friend was drunk, so I helped her take her back to her room."

Chen Shi wanted to find a witness, but he was afraid that once they got to the room, things wouldn't go smoothly.

Gu Jia looked disappointed. Why did you call a waiter? Such a beautiful woman was brought right to your door, and you still didn't want her.

The two men helped Gu Jia to her room.

After putting her on the bed, Chen Shi put down the card and left with the waiter.

After Chen Shi left, Gu Jia sat up, looking utterly defeated. "Is he even a man? I gave him a chance, but he couldn't handle it."

They were all adults; she didn't even dare to play around. In her heart, she despised Chen Shi.

Chen Shi got into the car, took a deep breath to calm himself down. He wanted to sleep with Gu Jia, but his rational mind told him he couldn't.

Gu Jia is a very difficult woman to deal with; once you've slept with her, you can forget about getting away.

He asked the waiter to help escort Gu Jia back to her room because he was afraid that he would be bewitched by Gu Jia's beauty and lose his mind. He wanted someone to be by his side to remind him at any time.

Chen Shi didn't dare to stay alone with Gu Jia in the room; it was easy for something to happen.

His inner desires were stirred, and Chen Shi called out, "Yang Bin, turn around and go to the No. 1 Middle School teachers' apartment."

Arriving at the door of Jiang Yiqiu's room, Chen Shi knocked, and Jiang Yiqiu's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"It's me."

Upon hearing Chen Shi's voice, Jiang Yiqiu rushed over and opened the door.

Chen Shi grabbed Jiang Yiqiu and kicked the door shut, his breath reeking of alcohol.

Just as Jiang Yiqiu was about to speak, Chen Shi's thick lips silenced him.

Jiang Yiqiu used all his strength to push Chen Shi away: "Your breath stinks, it's all alcohol. Rinse your mouth first, then we'll kiss."

Chen Shi couldn't wait to rinse his mouth.

Without saying a word, he hugged Jiang Yiqiu again, and the two became entangled in each other's arms.

After a fierce battle, Chen Shi lay limply on the sofa.

Jiang Yiqiu was covered in sweat. He got up and picked up the clothes that were scattered all over the living room. He said softly, "I'm going to take a shower. My breath smells of alcohol. Where did I go drinking again?"

Chen Shi sat up, took out a cigarette from his clothes, lit it, took a drag, and exhaled the smoke: "Being a leader isn't easy. People call you to dinner every day, and you can't refuse."

Jiang Yiqiu went to the bathroom to take a shower. The sound of running water could be heard. Chen Shi stood up and felt aroused again. He pushed open the bathroom door and hugged Jiang Yiqiu tightly.

"Let's take a bath together, like lovers."

Jiang Yiqiu exclaimed, "No way! How do you have so much stamina? We just finished, and you're doing it again."

Though she verbally refused, her body language betrayed her, and she cooperated with Chen Shi's frenzied attack.

An hour later, Jiang Yiqiu's legs were so weak that Chen Shi carried him out and placed him on the big bed.

Jiang Yiqiu sat up and looked at Chen Shi beside him: "Chen Shi, every time you come, it's for this. You don't care about people at all. No surprises at all, just straight to the point."

Chen Shi sat up and leaned against the headboard: "As a leader's family member, you have to understand me. I used to work in the public security system, and now I've transferred to the education system. I'm a complete novice, and there's a lot I need to learn."

Secretary Liu also entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of education reform, and I dare not slack off at all; I must complete the tasks assigned by Secretary Liu.

The total bid amount for rebuilding three high schools is over 26 billion yuan, but the government funding is only 1 billion yuan. Even with the money from the municipal government, the municipal education department, and Mingzhou No. 1 High School, there is still a shortfall of over 1 billion yuan.

I'm under a lot of pressure, and only coming to you can release it.

Jiang Yiqiu blushed slightly and threw herself into Chen Shi's arms: "Secretary Liu is really something. He put you in charge of education reform and rebuilding three high schools, but he didn't give you enough money. If things don't go well, it will all be your responsibility."

She stroked Chen Shi's broad chest: "There are still more than a billion yuan left. How are you going to solve this? Why don't you just tell Secretary Liu directly that this matter can't be done and that he will transfer you back to the Public Security Bureau?"

The Public Security Bureau has considerable power; there's no need for them to get involved in the Education Bureau's mess. Besides, you just earned merit at the Public Security Bureau and have a promising future.

Chen Shi stroked Jiang Yiqiu's hair: "Doing work isn't like inviting someone to dinner; it's not something you can just refuse to do if you want to."

There's no turning back now; we have to go all the way and fulfill Secretary Liu's important mission perfectly.

"There's still a deficit of over a billion yuan. How are you going to solve it? Without money, educational reform is just empty talk."

"Recently, I've been frequently traveling to Yizhou to raise funds to cover this gap of over 1 billion yuan."

Jiang Yiqiu sat up: "Any progress?"

"The Department of Education has a special fund of one billion yuan to support education in impoverished counties with poor educational conditions, but this has not yet been made public."

I contacted Director Zhao, who was in charge of the project, and got in touch with him to try and secure the project, which would solve the funding problem for building three key high schools.

Jiang Yiqiu said with a happy expression, "That's great! If you can get this billion yuan and build the three key high schools, you can complete the task assigned by Secretary Liu and accomplish the impossible. At that time, Secretary Liu will definitely give you an important position and promote you."

Chen Shi stroked Jiang Yiqiu's two snow-white breasts and suddenly reacted. He hugged Jiang Yiqiu tightly and said with a mischievous smile, "Isn't your man amazing?"

"I'm impressed, I surrender."

"Surrender is not allowed"

The two became entangled again.
