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

Seeing Zhang Xiaoli's longing expression, Lin Zheng no longer held back and buried his head in his hands.

Zhang Xiaoli raised her head high, bit her lip tightly, and closed her eyes, which trembled slightly.

"Lin Zheng, hurry up."

Soon, Zhang Xiaoli's cheerful shouts echoed through the office.

An hour later, Zhang Xiaoli left the office, satisfied.

Lin Zheng sat in his office chair, turned on his computer, entered a password, and a folder popped up.

After he clicked on it, there were two short videos inside, one of Zhang Wanquan and the other of Liu Kaishan, the deputy general manager of the head office.

Before Zhang Wenshan went inside, he installed a miniature camera in the hotel to film their secret.

These two important figures are usually very serious, but in private they are more extravagant than anyone else.

Lin Zheng felt a surge of heat coursing through his body. The fire that Zhang Xiaoli had just extinguished reignited, and his mind involuntarily drifted back to the scene he had witnessed in the car last night—the area beneath Lin Xiaoyu's lace dress...

Zhang Wanquan is definitely no match for Lin Xiaoyu in that aspect, otherwise he wouldn't need to take medicine.

Now Zhang Wanquan can't do that with her for a year, which is very difficult for a woman of her prime.

If he could help, that would feel amazing...

Lin Zheng suddenly reacted after thinking about it for a while.

He fantasized about Lin Xiaoyu lying in front of him, letting him roam freely like a cavalryman on a battlefield...

Just as Lin Zheng was lost in his daydream, his cell phone, which was still on his desk, rang.

He was startled and almost paralyzed by the ringing of the phone.

"Damn, they really know how to pick their timing."

Lin Zheng cursed in dissatisfaction, picked up his phone and saw that it was Lin Xiaoyu calling.

Holding his phone, that graceful figure and that vast expanse of darkness reappeared in his mind...

"Mr. Lin, are you free tonight?"

The call connected, and Lin Xiaoyu's gentle voice came from the other end.

Lin Zheng listened carefully and could hear the sound of flowing water.

Lin Xiaoyu was taking a shower and talking to him on speakerphone?

Lin Zheng immediately became excited.

He thought to himself how wonderful it would be if he were by Lin Xiaoyu's side right now.

This will make up for the regret that Zhang Wanquan couldn't fulfill last night.

Coming to his senses, Lin Zheng quickly replied, "Miss Lin, I have time tonight."

"My husband and I would like to invite you to dinner tonight, at 8 pm in room 666 on the sixth floor of the Huaiyang Hotel, to thank you for saving our lives."

As Lin Xiaoyu spoke, her hands didn't stop either; she was blowing bubbles and rubbing her fair breasts.

Hot water poured over her, making her inexplicably hot, and she slowly slid her hand down her body.

Suddenly, Lin Zheng's image appeared in her mind, and she fantasized that Lin Zheng would hug her from behind, and then...

"No problem, I'll be there on time," Lin Zheng said.

"Okay... um..."

Lin Xiaoyu responded with a trembling moan.

Now her mind was filled with Lin Zheng's image, and her hand slowly wandered over his shoulder.

Lin Zheng on the other end of the phone was a little confused. He recognized Lin Xiaoyu's voice and it seemed that she was solving the problem herself.

She called him, and then...?

Was Lin Xiaoyu fantasizing about having sex with him, and deliberately calling him to let him hear her voice in order to seduce him?

Thinking about it this way, Lin Zheng immediately became excited.

He didn't hang up the phone, but listened quietly to Lin Xiaoyu's intermittent voice.

Just as Lin Zheng was engrossed in listening, the sound of a door opening came from inside.

Lin Xiaoyu, who was enjoying herself, was startled and didn't dare to hang up the phone.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu's expression, Zhang Wanquan was not angry.

He walked over, put his arms around Lin Xiaoyu, and slowly lifted her legs up.

"Honey, you've worked so hard, let me help you."

Lin Xiaoyu pressed down on Zhang Wanquan's head.

"No...no...kiss...that..."

"The doctor said you need to recuperate for a year, otherwise you will lose that function."

"I'm afraid you'll get a sore throat, just bear with it, a year will pass quickly."

Zhang Wanquan did not stop.

"Honey, I'll help you."

Lin Xiaoyu bit her lip, her gaze fixed on her phone on the bathroom vanity, her heart pounding.

In the office, Lin Zheng held his phone, barely daring to breathe.

The shouts coming from the other end made his heart race.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiaoyu collapsed into Zhang Wanquan's arms.

Zhang Wanquan held Lin Xiaoyu in his arms and brought her a bath towel to drape over her shoulders.

"Why are you reacting so strongly this time?"

"Has it been too long since we've done it together?"

Lin Xiaoyu nodded, not daring to say that it was because she was still on the phone with Lin Zheng and deliberately let him hear her voice that her reaction was so intense.

While Zhang Wanquan was helping her, she was also imagining Lin Zheng in her mind.

Zhang Wanquan carefully took out Lin Xiaoyu's underwear and helped her put it on, then asked, "Did you call Lin Zheng?"

"I called him and asked him to have dinner with me at the Huaiyang Hotel at 8 o'clock," Lin Xiaoyu said.

Zhang Wanquan lit a specially supplied cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "What was Lin Zheng's reply?"

"I think that kid's appearance was too coincidental. Could he have some ulterior motive?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng on the other end of the phone broke out in a cold sweat.

Just as he predicted, one must be careful when dealing with someone like Zhang Wanquan.

If it were anyone else, they would be extremely grateful if someone saved their life.

But Zhang Wanquan began to doubt his motives.

Sure enough, people who can climb to such a position are all shrewd and capable.

You must be extra careful when you come into contact with this kind of person.

Lin Zheng was secretly alarmed and warned himself.

Lin Xiaoyu, who was applying cream, froze.

"Honey, he saved your life, how can you doubt him?"

"If he had an ulterior motive, he would have called to make his demands long ago."

Zhang Wanquan exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke and said, "You can know a person's face but not their heart; you don't understand workplace dynamics."

We'll find out soon enough whether he's intentionally getting close to me.

"I have already sent people to investigate his background and whether his appearance at the Huaiyang Hotel that night was a coincidence or intentional."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng's heart pounded.

Fortunately, he made preparations that night, otherwise his purpose in approaching Zhang Wanquan would definitely have been exposed.

Just as Lin Xiaoyu was about to reply, Zhang Wanquan's phone rang.

"The phone is ringing, let's listen to it together."

Zhang Wanquan said, turning on the speakerphone on his phone.

"Mr. Zhang has investigated and found out that Lin Zheng's visit to the Huaiyang Hotel that night was an accident."

"According to the hotel receptionist, he booked two rooms that night."

"Because the computer in the first room had a problem, he lost his files, so he was able to book a room next to yours later."

Hearing this, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

With this investigation, Zhang Wanquan should lower his guard against him.

Tonight's dinner is crucial to whether we can get in touch with Zhang Wanquan, our powerful backer.

Zhang Wenhai was pressing him relentlessly, and he couldn't delay any longer.

After Zhang Wanquan hung up the phone, Lin Xiaoyu said, "Now I understand everything."

"Lin Zheng saved your life; you have to lend him a hand when it matters."
