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

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng was first taken aback, then became agitated.

If a woman dares to say that, she must want it.

Once a mature woman with this kind of contrast is won over, she will absolutely obey his every word.

Qiu Xiuqin, Lin Xiaoyu, Deng Hong, and even Yang Yurong now, etc...

These women, they all treat him like this now.

"Lin Zheng, ask her out for dinner tonight, just the two of you."

"Be bold and get straight to the point."

"First, get her aroused, then we'll just sit in the private room and get her to do it."

"Remember, she likes things to be simple and brutal, don't treat her like a human being."

Upon hearing Yang Yurong's words, Lin Zheng felt a surge of heat in his blood.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it.

Inviting Zhang Xuemei out for dinner was a crucial step.

After finishing his cigarette, Lin Zheng picked up his phone, found the number Yang Yurong had given him for Zhang Xuemei the night before, and dialed it.

The phone rang a few times, and Zhang Xuemei's languid voice came from the other end.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Sister Zhang, it's me, Lin Zheng."

"Manager Lin?"

Zhang Xuemei was taken aback at first, then excitedly asked, "How did you get my phone number?"

"I asked my sister-in-law for it yesterday."

"Did Yu Rong give it to you?"

"right."

"What is it?" Zhang Xuemei asked, feigning ignorance.

"Sister Zhang, you spoke up for me yesterday, so I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you."

"Sister Zhang, is this a convenient time for you?"

Zhang Xuemei paused for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then laughed.

"Manager Lin, you're too kind. I just said a few words casually, there's no need to thank me."

"But since you're treating me to dinner, I'll definitely give you face."

"Sister Zhang, you're too kind."

"Six o'clock tonight, Huaihai Hotel, the same private room as yesterday."

"Okay, I'll definitely arrive on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng's lips curled into a slight smile.

Zhang Xuemei agreed so readily, which shows that she was really thirsty.

Lin Zheng checked the time; it was only 9 a.m. After a quick wash, he changed into clean clothes and went out.

Zhao Daniu said yesterday that there were some problems with the material supply at the construction site, and he needs to go and take a look.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the construction site, and Lin Zheng paid the fare and got out of the car.

The construction site was already bustling with activity in the early morning, with workers carrying materials in twos and threes.

Although construction cannot begin, the materials that have been brought in still need to be arranged neatly.

In order to keep morale high, Lin Zheng has been doing unprofitable business these past few days, having Zhao Daniu arrange for the workers to do odd jobs while paying them their normal wages.

Seeing Lin Zheng approaching, Zhao Daniu quickly went to greet him.

"Manager Lin, you've finally arrived! There's a problem with the materials supply."

"What's the problem?"

"Li Zhengang said that the price of sand and gravel has recently increased, and he wants us to pay more."

Lin Zheng frowned: "The contract is signed, the price is fixed, why add any money?"

He said he would cut off the payment if I didn't pay more.

"Cut off the supply? He wouldn't dare."

Lin Zheng took out his phone and dialed Li Zhengang's number.

The phone rang twice, and Li Zhengang's voice came from the other end.

"Manager Lin, what's wrong?"

"Boss Li, what's going on over there? Why are you charging extra for sand and gravel?"

"Manager Lin, it's not that I want to pay more, it's just that the upstream prices have gone up, there's nothing I can do about it."

"The contract is signed, the price is fixed, you can't just raise the price whenever you want."

"Manager Lin, I don't want to raise prices either."

"But I'll lose money if I don't raise prices. You can't expect me to do business at a loss, can you?"

Lin Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"Boss Li, you can raise prices, but you need to give me a reasonable explanation."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, and we can talk face to face."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng turned his attention back to Zhao Daniu.

"Use the sand and gravel in your inventory to keep things going, don't stop work."

"The inventory can only last for three days at most."

"Three days is enough. I will definitely resolve this within three days."

After arranging things at the construction site, Lin Zheng walked out of the site and lit a cigarette at the entrance.

There's definitely something wrong with Li Zhengang raising prices at this time.

Either the upstream prices have really gone up, or someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Li Zhengang is a loyal man; he wouldn't hold someone hostage for no reason.

The price of materials is rising at this time, something must have happened.

After thinking it over, Lin Zheng decided to talk to Li Zhengang in person before making a decision.

After taking a tour of the construction site and making the necessary arrangements, it was already afternoon.

Lin Zheng instructed Zhao Daniu to give the workers a day off tomorrow, and that the matter would be settled the day after tomorrow.

After explaining everything, Lin Zheng went back to his residence, took a cold shower to clear his head, and then took a taxi to the Huaihai Hotel.

.....................

Six o'clock in the evening, Huaihai Hotel.

Lin Zheng arrived early, having booked the same private room as yesterday. He ordered a table full of dishes, a bottle of Wuliangye liquor, and a bottle of high-end red wine.

He sat by the window, a cigarette between his fingers, looking at the street scene outside, his mind racing with ideas on how to subdue Zhang Xuemei.

The situation is now extremely urgent, and he cannot and dare not delay any longer.

Only Zhang Xuemei could break the deadlock.

Lin Zheng remembered Yang Yurong's instructions: Zhang Xuemei couldn't be treated like a human being.

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng felt a little excited.

Although Zhang Xuemei is two years older than Yang Yurong, she is extremely well-maintained and looks only in her early thirties.

Conquering such an experienced woman is no easy task.

As Lin Zheng was thinking, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Zhang Xuemei walked in.

She was wearing a black lace cheongsam with a low-cut neckline and a slit, revealing glimpses of her white skin and a deep cleavage that was incredibly alluring.

The lace trim on the underwear was almost visible through the slit in the cheongsam.

The underwear consisted of only a ribbon with a string of white pearls in the middle.

Seeing Lin Zheng staring at her white legs, Zhang Xuemei not only didn't feel disgusted, but instead showed a smug look.

Her purpose in coming here tonight was to seduce Lin Zheng and test whether he was really as fierce as Yang Yurong had said.

I'd love to experience what it feels like to be sent to heaven by Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng also made no attempt to hide it, openly staring into Zhang Xuemei's cheongsam.

Zhang Xuemei dressed like this just for him to see.

If he acts coy and hesitant, it will only provoke Zhang Xuemei's dislike.

Moreover, Yang Yurong has already confessed that Zhang Xuemei likes to be bold, simple, and crude.

Now he's bold; he'll just hold Zhang Xuemei down again in a simple and brutal way.

When Zhang Xuemei met Lin Zheng's gaze, the primal desire to be conquered in her eyes was undisguised.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Zhang Xuemei raised her neck, half-closed her eyes, and stuck out her tongue to lick her red lips.

This blatant seduction instantly made Lin Zheng's blood boil.

"Manager Lin, do I look good?"

Zhang Xuemei's voice was incredibly alluring, and paired with her expression, it could easily arouse a man's primal instincts.

"It's beautiful, so beautiful!"

"It's a pity that the cheongsam is blocking my view, so I can't see clearly."

Lin Zheng didn't mince words; he secretly wished he could rush over, grab Zhang Xuemei by the hair, and take her right there and then.

Can't see it clearly?

Zhang Xuemei smiled faintly and lifted her leg.

She lifted the fabric of her cheongsam by the slit.

"Manager Lin, do you see it more clearly now?"
