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

Liu Xueyi's skills are truly exceptional.

Even as they sit down, they still pinch each other.

As she went down to the bottom.

Lin Zheng felt so comfortable that his pores were spreading.

"Relax, I can do it myself."

Liu Xueyi turned around and gave Lin Zheng a flirtatious wink.

Then, do it yourself.

………………

Two hours later, Liu Xueyi was drenched in sweat, with a satisfied look on her face.

Lin Zheng held him in his arms, lit a cigarette, and quietly smoked it.

Liu Xueyi kissed Lin Zheng and asked, "Manager Lin, are you still thinking about Zhou Haimin?"

Lin Zheng exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded: "If I can't handle the supply of materials for the sand pit, not only will I be fired, but I'll probably have to go to jail."

"You need to think of another way at the branch office. Even if you can't catch Zhang Tianhu, it'll be good to cause him some trouble."

Liu Xueyi nodded: "I'll go to the branch office again tomorrow. If Chen Musheng, who is handling the case, continues to evade responsibility, I will have no choice but to expose his dirty secrets to blackmail him."

This was her last resort; she didn't want to break ties with Chen Musheng unless absolutely necessary.

After all, I'll be doing business in the district in the future.

Lin Zheng reminded her, "Sister Liu, these are extraordinary times, and we need to use extraordinary measures."

"Don't wait until you want to use it and there's no opportunity."

Liu Xueyi nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. At worst, I'll just stop doing business here."

"How do you plan to talk to Zhou Haimin tomorrow?"

Lin Zheng said, "I don't have a plan in mind right now. I'll just take it one step at a time."

"Let's meet with Zhou Haimin tomorrow and see what he thinks."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment for you first thing tomorrow morning."

After they finished talking, the two resumed their battle.

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

The next morning, Lin Zheng dialed Zhou Haimin's number.

After exchanging a few polite words, Lin Zheng got straight to the point, saying he wanted to invite Zhou Haimin out for dinner.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this was really the case.

To Lin Zheng's surprise, Zhou Haimin readily agreed and even said he would introduce him to some friends to help him solve the problem of sand supply.

The two agreed to meet at 12:30 pm in private room 308 on the third floor of the Venus Hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng's brows furrowed deeply once again.

Given Zhou Haimin's character, how could he possibly introduce him to friends or help him solve problems?

Liu Xueyi leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Zhou Haimin won't agree to meet?"

"No, he not only agreed to meet me, but also said he would introduce me to some friends to help me solve my problem."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xueyi was taken aback, and her brows furrowed.

"When did Zhou Haimin become so kind?"

"Lin Zheng, could this be a trap?"

Lin Zheng smiled wryly after hearing this: "Even if it's a trap, I have to go, otherwise the sand supply problem will be impossible to solve."

"Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything reckless in broad daylight."

"How are your preparations going?"

Liu Xueyi said, "It's all ready."

"If we can negotiate, let's not escalate the conflict," Lin Zheng advised.

Liu Xueyi nodded. Even without Lin Zheng's reminder, she knew what to do.

The two went down to the first floor of the hotel for a buffet meal before parting ways.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Zheng took out his phone and dialed Lin Hai's number.

"Director Lin, what's the progress on Li Guoshan's case?"

"It has been handed over to the district bureau, and we should have a result this afternoon."

"The evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear. Li Guoshan will probably have to wait at least three years this time."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Lin."

After ending the call, Lin Zheng dialed Deng Hong's number again.

"Sister Deng, could you please make a trip to the finance office? The allocation of funds should be settled today."

Deng Hong was taken aback and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Yes, I'm in the district right now. The company wants me to come back for a meeting."

Lin Zheng made up an excuse, not wanting Deng Hong to worry.

Deng Hong didn't think much of it, nodded in agreement, and hung up the phone.

An hour later, Lin Zheng arrived at the agreed Venus Hotel.

In private room 308, Lin Zheng saw Zhou Haimin in the main seat as soon as he entered.

He was sitting next to two stunningly beautiful young women.

Lin Zheng also knew these two young women. One was Lin Bixia, a receptionist at the District Land and Resources Bureau, who was 26 years old and applying for enrollment this year.

The other one, named Guo Ling, is a primary school teacher.

Besides these two women, there were several other familiar faces.

Liu Kaishan sat to Zhou Haimin's left, while Liu Xueyi's husband, Zhang Tianhu, sat to his right.

When Liu Kaishan saw Lin Zheng, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Tianhu looked at Lin Zheng with eyes that seemed to want to devour him whole.

After looking around, Lin Zheng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that the acquaintance Zhou Haimin had mentioned on the phone was actually his adversary who wanted to kill him.

Now he finally understood that Zhou Haimin had never intended to help him; he had been treating him like a fool from beginning to end.

"You're here, have a seat!"

Zhou Haimin pointed to the chair opposite him, indicating that Lin Zheng should sit there.

Lin Zheng nodded, suppressing his anger, and sat down opposite Zhou Haimin.

After Lin Zheng sat down, he was left hanging by Zhou Haimin and the others.

The three men each held the woman beside them, their hands roaming over her body.

After all that commotion, Zhang Tianhu became even bolder. He pinned the woman next to him to the table, turned her face toward Lin Zheng, and pulled down his pants to have sex.

The woman's face turned bright red, but she dared not resist. She gritted her teeth and cooperated with Zhang Tianhu.

"You bastard, did you do this to my wife too?"

Zhang Tianhu glared fiercely at Lin Zheng and asked loudly.

Lin Zheng responded, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Zhang Tianhu said defiantly, "Damn it, you dare to do it but not admit it? Playing dumb with me here?"

"The kind of trash I despise the most is someone like you."

Lin Zheng wasn't backing down and retorted, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Should I say I'll fuck your wife?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire private room fell silent.

Zhou Haimin stopped what he was doing, not expecting Lin Zheng to be so audacious.

To put it bluntly, the whole dinner was a way for Zhang Tianhu to give Lin Zheng a hard time.

Once Lin Zheng backs down, he will then throw out conditions to control Lin Zheng.

But Lin Zheng's performance seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

Zhou Haimin gave Zhang Tianhu a look, signaling him to continue.

After receiving the signal, Zhang Tianhu became bolder.

He slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Lin Zheng.

"Fuck your mother."

"Say it again if you dare, and I'll teach you a lesson today."

"I've been around for so many years, and no one has ever dared to talk to me like that. I think you're just asking for death."

Lin Zheng squinted at Zhang Tianhu, then smiled after a moment.

"Teach me how to be a decent human being? You're not smart enough to do that."

"Anyone can slam their fist on the table; are you just trying to scare people?"

"You son of a bitch, I'm going to fuck you today."

Zhang Tianhu was completely enraged and ignored the woman beneath him.

He pulled up his pants, grabbed the Wuliangye liquor from the table, and pretended to smash it at Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng remained unmoved, staring coldly at Zhang Tianhu.

"Try touching me."
