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

The position of town mayor or town party secretary?

Deng Hong stared wide-eyed, unable to process what was happening for a moment.

Those who can serve as the top two leaders in a town all have deep personal connections.

She had nothing, so it was almost impossible for her to climb to this position.

Coming to her senses, Deng Hong asked, "Lin Zheng, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"If I become the town mayor or the town party secretary, where will Wang Jianguo and Yang Wanshan be transferred to?"

"Is the district going to take action against them?"

Lin Zheng nodded and told him everything he knew.

After listening, Deng Hong still frowned deeply.

"Lin Zheng, Yang Wanshan might be in trouble, but Wang Jianguo is not so easy to deal with."

"I have neither connections nor political resources, so what can I use to fight him?"

"I can't let you take such a big risk for me."

Lin Zheng waved his hand and said, "Sister Deng, let me finish what I have to say."

"We don't have connections yet, but it's not too late to win over managers from all sides."

"As for political resources, I've already made arrangements."

"What you need to do now is prepare yourself and decide on your next step in three days."

"You don't need to worry about Wang Jianguo either; I've already figured out a way to deal with him."

Deng Hong was still somewhat worried: "No matter what method you use, you can't risk your life."

Wang Jianguo had been entrenched in Dianhai Town for many years, and even Yang Wanshan and Qiu Ruiming couldn't do anything about him.

Although Lin Zheng is intelligent, it won't be easy for him to take down Wang Jianguo.

"Sister Deng, don't worry, don't you know how I do things?"

Lin Zheng didn't say much, worried that Deng Hong might overthink it.

After the two finished discussing business, Deng Hong gave Lin Zheng a full service in the office to help him relieve some of his stress.

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

The next day, Lin Zheng called Liu Xueyi.

"Sister Liu, is Chen Musheng, the one who helped you deal with Zhang Tianhu last time, still usable?"

Liu Xueyi said, "It's usable, but this guy has a huge appetite."

"Getting him to do things will come at a high price."

"Can you help me arrange to meet him?" Lin Zheng asked.

"What's wrong? Did you run into a security incident?"

"No, there's something small that I need him to say a few words to."

"Isn't he in charge of the Dianhai Town Police Station? I need his help with a small matter."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll contact them for you."

Less than five minutes after the two ended their call, Liu Xueyi sent an address.

After reading it, Lin Zheng immediately drove there.

The place the three agreed to meet was called Juejianlou, a teahouse that specializes in early morning markets.

Knowing that Lin Zheng wanted to discuss business, Liu Xueyi specially booked a quiet private room.

When Lin Zheng entered the private room, Liu Xueyi and Chen Musheng were already inside.

The two chatted while drinking tea.

Upon seeing Lin Zheng enter, Liu Xueyi stood up and introduced him to Chen Musheng.

"Director Chen, this is Lin Zheng, the project manager of Tenghua Group in Dianhai Town, and a friend of District Chief Liu."

Chen Musheng originally disdained to deal with someone of Lin Zheng's status, but he came here to give Liu Xueyi face. Another key point was that Liu Xueyi still held leverage over him.

But now, after hearing Liu Xueyi introduce Lin Zheng as Liu Changhe's friend, his attitude immediately changed.

Although he was the deputy director of the district branch, he didn't have much power.

To climb the ranks, one still needs to get a vote from a leader of Liu Changhe's level.

How could someone as marginalized as him possibly have the resources to get close to Liu Changhe?

Now that they hear Lin Zheng is Liu Changhe's friend, their attitude has completely changed.

"Hello, Director Chen."

Lin Zheng smiled and extended his hand, understanding that Liu Xueyi was trying to create momentum for him.

"Hello, Manager Lin."

Chen Musheng didn't dare to be presumptuous and politely extended his hand to shake hands with Lin Zheng.

After the three of them sat down, Lin Zheng got straight to the point: "Director Chen, I'm really sorry to bother you so early in the morning."

Chen Musheng waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we're all on the same side, just talk things out."

"Since Director Chen is so straightforward, then I'll be frank with you."

"The main thing I want to ask Director Chen for a small favor is to transfer someone to the branch office."

"Who?" Chen Musheng didn't refuse, but asked in return.

Lin Zheng said, "I'd like you to help me transfer Lin Hai, the director of the Dianhai Town Police Station, to the branch office and arrange a captain or something similar for him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Musheng frowned, a hint of anger on his face.

"Manager Lin, you're asking me to commit a crime!"

What a joke! Transferring Lin Hai to the branch office is something he could do, but at a great cost.

Besides, how many people are watching the position of branch captain? Can a branch captain just do whatever he wants?

Liu Xueyi, who was standing to the side, was also startled when she heard Lin Zheng's request.

This is no small matter; it's a joke that threatens Chen Musheng's official position.

Lin Zheng remained calm and said in a low voice, "Director Chen, please don't get agitated. Let me finish what I have to say."

"Transferring Lin Hai is a risky business, but I won't let you work for nothing."

"We businessmen have a saying: 'Business is business.' If Director Chen is willing to help, I will definitely not let you suffer any losses..."

Lin Zheng was interrupted by Chen Musheng before he could finish speaking.

"No need to say more, I can't help you with this."

"I have some matters to attend to at the bureau, so I cannot keep you company."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Musheng stood up.

Lin Zheng had anticipated that Chen Musheng would be so agitated.

But he wasn't worried at all.

Chen Musheng rejected him simply because he didn't have enough leverage.

He would agree to do things without hesitation, provided there were enough incentives.

Just as Chen Musheng was about to walk out of the private room, Lin Zhengcai said slowly, "District Chief Li Zhigao will be transferred soon, and this position will be vacant then."

Upon hearing this, Chen Musheng immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on Lin Zheng.

He didn't know about this, so how did Lin Zheng find out?

Also, what did Lin Zheng mean by saying that?

Chen Musheng paused for a moment and then said, "Manager Lin, where did you get this information? None of us on the inside know about it."

Chen Musheng, of course, did not know, because Li Zhigao and Liu Changhe were on the same side.

If Zhou Guangrong wants to get rid of Liu Changhe, he will inevitably target Li Zhigao.

However, the leverage he held could allow Chen Musheng to take this position, but only if Chen Musheng obeyed.

"Director Chen, don't worry about where my information comes from, but I guarantee it's reliable."

"If you can help me get things done with Lin Hai, I can help you get the position of bureau chief."

"So, how about we cooperate?"

"Also, Lin Hai's matter might not be difficult for you."

"All you need to do is give him a promise over the phone."

"Wait for my call to explain the specifics."

Chen Musheng's heart pounded; he instantly understood Lin Zheng's actions.

This is using his influence to deceive Lin Hai.

Ultimately, what Lin Zheng did was nothing more than a tactic that they, within the system, had already exhausted.

However, this method can play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

Besides, the position of bureau chief was too important to him.

Only by taking this position can one obtain the ticket to become a member of the district standing committee.

Lin Zheng was not in a hurry to urge Chen Musheng to reply.

He understood that Benny Chan was weighing the pros and cons.

He didn't believe Chen Musheng could refuse the offer of the bureau chief's position.
