Please, mature women, have some self-respect. I just want a raise and a promotion.

Tenghua Group's internal special guesthouse.

"It's huge, really huge."

Looking at Zhou Xia's figure, which was about to burst out of her business suit, Lin Zheng unconsciously swallowed.

"Where are you looking? Believe me or not, I'll gouge out your dog eyes."

Zhou Xia snorted coldly, took out a document, and slammed it hard in front of Lin Zheng.

"I advise you to honestly confess your mistakes. Someone must be held accountable for Mr. Zhang's embezzlement of public funds."

"If you still refuse to cooperate, I will hold you responsible for the 700 million deficit."

"If you're willing to reveal what Mr. Zhang did, I guarantee you'll get a promotion and a raise, and next you'll be transferred to a government department."

A promotion and a raise?

Transferred to a government department?

Hearing this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

Since General Manager Zhang Wenshan's downfall, he, as Zhang Wenshan's secretary, naturally became the target of investigation and suppression by his competitor Zhou Xia.

In order to completely crush Zhang Wenshan, Zhou Xia used both soft and hard tactics on him, trying every possible way to get him to gather all the evidence against Zhang Wenshan.

"Mr. Zhou, I have already explained the issues that needed to be explained."

"I wasn't involved in those things, Mr. Zhang, and I didn't know about the 700 million yuan deficit you mentioned."

"If you have evidence, then produce it; if you don't, let's not waste each other's time."

"But if you want me to take the blame for this 700 million, you've miscalculated."

Lin Zheng wasn't stupid. Once Zhang Wenshan's evidence was confirmed, his secretary's fate would certainly not be good.

He had followed Zhang Wenshan for five years, and the resources and secrets he possessed were enough to threaten Zhou Xia.

Promotions, raises, and transfers to government departments are just empty promises.

Zhou Xia threatened, "So, you're saying you're not cooperating with the investigation?"

"Zhang Wenshan has already been apprehended. Do you think I can't do anything about it if you don't talk about it?"

"Believe it or not, I can get you arrested even without your confession."

"At that time, it won't just be Zhang Wenshan's 700 million deficit; I'll also hold you responsible for all the projects he was in charge of before."

"Mr. Zhou, is it really necessary to go this far?" Lin Zheng said.

"ruthless?"

Zhou Xia's gaze was fixed on Lin Zheng's face.

"You've been following Zhang Wenshan for several years, right? You should have heard about my methods."

"Today is your last chance, don't wear down my patience."

"The choice is yours: a promotion and a raise, or taking the blame."

"I choose a promotion and a raise," Lin Zheng said with a helpless expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xia immediately smiled.

She sat back in her chair, looking down at Lin Zheng.

"Now you can tell me how Zhang Wenshan embezzled public funds."

"How he secretly takes kickbacks on the projects he's working on."

"You must explain everything clearly, without missing a single word."

Lin Zheng said, "President Zhou, are you going to ruin President Zhang?"

"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from those behind General Manager Zhang by doing this?"

revenge?

Zhou Xia said with a disdainful look, "I'm going to ruin Zhang Wenshan."

"As for the retaliation from those behind him, you don't need to worry about that."

"Since Mr. Zhou is so confident, then I won't hold back."

Lin Zheng stood up straight, looking as if he was about to confess.

"Tell me quickly, and I guarantee you'll get a promotion and a raise."

Zhou Xia immediately turned on the recording equipment and prepared to record.

"When General Manager Zhang was in charge of the Lingshan market project, he secretly deducted two million from the project funds."

Zhou Xia's heart raced, and she urged, "Hurry up and continue. Where did you spend those two million? Do you have clear records of the transactions and evidence?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang used the two million to smooth things over with the other party, who was a leader in the district. I was there at the time."

Does it also involve district leaders?

Zhou Xia was stunned, and her breathing became rapid.

"So you can testify to that?"

Lin Zheng nodded: "I can testify."

"At the time, Mr. Zhang met the other party at the Hualing Hotel, gave them two million yuan, and then the other party handed Mr. Zhang a USB drive..."

"Wait..." Zhou Xia interrupted Lin Zheng, her eyes even more excited.

The USB drive in the hands of the district leaders must contain a big secret.

Once she has these secrets, she will be able to take over all of Zhang Wenshan's projects.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xia immediately turned off the recording equipment.

"Tell me quickly, where is the USB drive? Is there some secret on it?"

Lin Zheng said, "There are videos of Boss Zhang playing around with women on the USB drive."

"In addition to these, there were also senior executives from the head office and some officials."

"Who are they? Please name them specifically."

Zhou Xia picked up the pen on the table, her face full of smiles.

Once she gets hold of these people's secrets, promotions and raises will be a piece of cake.

It took her three whole years and a lot of effort to gain the approval of the higher-ups.

The opportunity to rise to prominence is right in front of us; we must seize it firmly.

Lin Zheng looked at Zhou Xia and said seriously, "President Zhou, then I will tell you the truth."

"The first important person is Lin Zuodong, the director of the project department of the head office."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xia froze on the spot.

It took her several dozen seconds to come to her senses.

"You...you're sure it's Lin...Lin Zuodong..."

Lin Zheng nodded: "President Zhou, how could I dare to lie to you at a time like this?"

"Also, the woman in the video with Director Lin looks like you, President Zhou."

Zhou Xia slumped into her office chair, her face instantly turning deathly pale.

After a long while, Zhou Xia finally calmed down and said angrily.

"Lin Zheng, you...you're slandering me and ruining my reputation."

"Am I making baseless accusations?"

Lin Zheng said calmly, "President Zhou, it seems you have a bad memory."

"On the afternoon of September 27th at the Prague Hotel, Director Lin and General Manager Zhou entered room 308 together, and you didn't come out until the afternoon, limping."

"On the morning of September 29th, at the Mingxuan Holiday Hotel, General Manager Zhou and Director Lin entered private room 666 together..."

"Lin Zheng, that's enough."

Zhou Xia interrupted Lin Zheng.

In order to become the deputy general manager of the branch office, she secretly made several deals with Lin Zuodong.

These were her secret methods for getting promoted, but she never expected that Lin Zheng would have leverage over them.

"What do you want?" Zhou Xia asked after a moment of silence.

"What do I want?"

"Shouldn't I be asking President Zhou that?"

Zhou Xia bit her lip, then stood up and walked to the office door.

She glanced outside the door, then closed and locked the office door.

"Lin Zheng, what do you think of me?"

Zhou Xia looked at Lin Zheng and asked with a flirtatious expression.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by that?"

Zhou Xia did not answer, but circled around Lin Zheng.

Then she leaned on the desk in front of Lin Zheng.

Before Lin Zheng could react, Zhou Xia unbuttoned her black coat.

As the professional black coat slipped down, the view underneath, which had been restrained, suddenly popped out.

She turned her head and stared intently at Lin Zheng, biting her lip and slowly pouting.

"Lin Zheng, how about we make a deal?"

Lin Zheng's breathing quickened, and he unconsciously swallowed.

"Mr. Zhou, how would you like to proceed with the transaction?"
