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

The opening ceremony began at 10:00 a.m., starting with a speech by the president of the provincial party school, followed by speeches from relevant leaders, and finally, a speech by Bai Dajiang, vice mayor of Yizhou City and an outstanding student representative, on behalf of the new students.

The opening ceremony lasted until 12:30.

There were two classes in the afternoon. Chen Shi arrived at the classroom early in the morning. Qian Liang and the other two came in and greeted Chen Shi. Ding Yi asked for leave and did not come to class.

Huang Xin walked in. Bai Dajiang originally just wanted to make a show of it, after all, he was the class monitor and had to be present for the first class, but he wouldn't come to the following classes.

When I saw Huang Xin, my eyes lit up. I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. Just like a celebrity, she has both a beautiful face and a great figure. I have to win her over.

General Bai just divorced his wife. Many women are pursuing him. They're okay to sleep with, but if they want him to marry them, they're dreaming.

When I was young, I married my ex-wife, but the circumstances didn't allow it, and I couldn't find someone I liked. Now that I have the means, I want to find someone I like.

He fell in love with Huang Xin at first sight; she was his dream girl, and he had to marry her because she was pleasing to the eye.

General Bai is in his forties. He often eats irregularly, has a big belly, and is bald. However, he is confident that none of the freshmen this year will have a higher position than him.

With his current status, he can marry any kind of woman he wants.

He inquired about Huang Xin's background from the people next to him and learned that Huang Xin was the niece of Huang Ao, the secretary-general of the Mingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the deputy director of the Organization Department of Chunyang County.

He took out his phone and sent a text message to his secretary, asking him to send him Huang Xin's personal information.

The secretary acted quickly and sent over the text message.

Huang Xin is thirty years old and unmarried. Upon seeing this, General Bai was overjoyed. He had previously thought that even if the woman he had his eye on got married, he would make her divorce.

Being unmarried saves a lot of trouble.

General Bai had no interest in class. He originally wanted to sit next to Huang Xin, but Huang Xin walked in, glanced at Chen Shi, and ignored everyone else, treating them like air. She sat in the row behind Chen Shi.

General Bai, the class monitor, resisted the urge to sit next to Huang Xin and waited for get out of class to end.

These two classes, ninety minutes long, were incredibly difficult for Bai Dajiang. When the bell rang, many people greeted him and offered to treat him to a meal, but he refused them all.

As soon as Huang Xin stepped out of the classroom, General Bai strode out from the crowd, caught up with her, and called out, "Minister Huang, wait!"

Huang Xin stopped and looked back. Everyone in the freshmen knew General Bai.

Huang Xin didn't want to be around these greasy middle-aged men. They weren't just ugly; any physical contact with them made her feel nauseous, an uncontrollable physical nausea.

Between men and women, physical attraction is the only true form of attraction.

General Bai walked up to Huang Xin and extended his hand: "Minister Huang, hello. I am General Bai, the Vice Mayor of Yizhou City. Are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to dinner."

Huang Xin didn't take the deputy mayor seriously. Without extending her hand to shake hands with General Bai, she coldly said, "No time."

General Bai was dumbfounded; she had actually refused the olive branch he had extended.

Since he became a powerful division-level official, no one has dared to refuse his requests; this is the first time.

General Bai awkwardly withdrew his hand. Huang Xin showed no respect whatsoever, not even bothering to offer a reason, and simply refused. What humiliated him even more was that Huang Xin turned and left, completely ignoring him, the deputy mayor of the provincial capital.

Bai Da's initial liking for Huang Xin turned into hatred. He was determined to find an opportunity to teach Huang Xin a lesson, to make her come before him, obediently undress, and serve him.

Chen Shi saw all of this. When he arrived at the parking lot, just as Huang Xin was about to get into the car, Chen Shi quickly came over.

"Minister Huang, General Bai is a deputy director-level official with real power. You're not giving him any face at all."

"He's at the deputy director-general level, what does that have to do with me?"

Chen Shi thought about it and realized that it made sense; even as the deputy mayor of Yizhou, he couldn't control the officials of Mingzhou.

Besides, Huang Xin was confident in her refusal. Huang Ao was the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, whose power far exceeded that of General Bai. The two were not on the same level.

Chen Shi chuckled: "Judging from the way General Bai looks at you, he's taken a liking to you and will keep bothering you. You'd better watch out."

Huang Xin rolled her eyes at Chen Shi: "Don't mention him in front of me, it makes me sick."

"Minister Huang is still obsessed with looks," Chen Shi joked.

"Are you alright? If not, I'm leaving."

Chen Shi casually said, "Let's have dinner together tonight, it's on me."

Huang Xin wanted to refuse, but inexplicably said, "Okay."

Chen Shi was somewhat surprised that she had agreed when he had only mentioned it casually.

Huang Xin had never been in a relationship with a man before, and she disliked men. For some reason, when she met Chen Shi, she really wanted to have something happen with him. She had a physical attraction to him and felt the kind of desire a woman has for a man.

Huang Xin didn't have this feeling with her ex-boyfriend. She could accept kissing, but if it went any further, she would feel disgusted and would sternly refuse.

Chen Shi invited Huang Xin to a high-end restaurant. The two ordered five dishes. Huang Xin did not touch her chopsticks or say anything, but quietly watched Chen Shi eat.

The more he looked at Chen Shi, the more he wanted to have him.

Chen Shi looked at Huang Xin: "Minister Huang, why aren't you eating?"

Not hungry

Chen Shi was speechless. If you're not hungry, why are you here to eat?

Huang Xin only drank a cup of hot milk and didn't eat a single bite of food. Chen Shi smiled and said, "Minister Huang, you should have said so earlier if you weren't going to eat. I would have ordered two fewer dishes."

"I'll pay, you don't need to pay." Huang Xin stood up and was about to pay the bill when Chen Shi grabbed her hand.

Huang Xin felt as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body tingling with a numbness she had never experienced before.

If any other man dared to hold my hand like that, I'd slap him across the face.

Chen Shi jokingly said, "Minister Huang, this isn't the workplace, why are you being so serious? I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously? I said I'd treat you, how can I let you pay the bill?"

Chen Shi placed his large hands on Huang Xin's shoulders, pressed her down to sit, and went to pay the bill himself.

After paying the bill, Chen Shi asked, "Minister Huang, what would you like to eat? I'll order a separate dish for you."

Huang Xin simply replied with two words: "Not hungry."

The two looked into each other's eyes. Chen Shi smiled and said, "Being with you is so boring. If it weren't for your beauty, I wouldn't want to stay for even a minute longer."

Chen Shi asked, "Minister Huang, where do you live?"

"Haven't booked a hotel yet."

"I'll take you to a hotel that's very clean and hygienic, with excellent service. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Huang Xin remained silent. Did that mean she agreed? No, Chen Shi was confused.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Shi took Huang Xin to a hotel where he often stayed.

The two rooms were right next to each other. Huang Xin's heart raced; the dream from that night seemed about to become reality.

Huang Xin felt her ears were very hot, and her face was also burning hot, turning red.

Chen Shi found Huang Xin acting strangely today; her face suddenly turned bright red. Had she taken some aphrodisiac?

Suddenly, an unbelievable thought occurred to him: Did she want to sleep with him?

Chen Shi was a seasoned veteran; when a woman and a man came to a hotel together, don't even think about what they would do.
