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

Gao Minghe's face stiffened, and he stared at Lin Zheng for a long time, unable to answer.

He originally thought he was just accompanying Wang Jianguo to go through the motions, and that the rest would be handled by his subordinates.

I never expected Lin Zheng to be so fierce, he even dared to swear at Wang Jianguo.

To put it bluntly, as a department head, he only has a tiny bit of power, and he's unwilling to do anything that might offend people.

Wang Jianguo had previously told him that if he came down, he could get 50,000 yuan.

Now it seems that this 50,000 yuan is a hot potato, not so easy to handle.

Even if the district issues an official document, deviations are allowed.

The planning bureau's demand for a re-measurement is simply creating trouble out of nothing.

If this matter blows up, Lin Zheng has connections, and he might also be implicated.

Moreover, judging from Lin Zheng's reaction, he must have connections and influence, and those connections must be very strong, otherwise he wouldn't dare to swear in front of Wang Jianguo.

Gambling your job for 50,000 yuan is a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.

Thinking about this, Gao Minghe knew what choice he had to make.

He took a deep breath and said, "Manager Lin, I'm just carrying out the tasks assigned by the district."

"Regarding the assistance you mentioned, there are no clear instructions from the district."

"As for deviations in the road, the district allows them."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Jianguo's face instantly darkened. He never dreamed that Gao Minghe would take the money but not do the job, and even let him down at the crucial moment.

Gao Minghe gave a wry smile, his expression conveying that he wouldn't participate in their struggle.

"So, Mayor Wang, you're deliberately here to cause trouble?"

Lin Zheng turned his gaze back to Wang Jianguo, his expression aggressive.

Wang Jianguo had never suffered such humiliation before. He suddenly stood up, opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

There was no other way; Lin Zheng was now going all out, acting like a madman.

He didn't want to go in with Lin Zheng.

He gritted his teeth, then slammed the door and left.

Gao Minghe and the other two did not dare to linger and quickly followed Wang Jianguo's footsteps.

"Manager Lin, you're amazing. This is the first time I've ever seen Wang Jianguo get the short end of the stick."

"Wang Jianguo was so angry he cried just now."

"Manager Lin, you are simply my idol."

After Wang Jianguo and his group left, the cadres in the meeting room started flattering him.

Everyone felt relieved, except for Lin Zheng, who kept his brows furrowed.

The scene just now was satisfying, but Wang Jianguo suffered such a big loss, can he let it go?

Deng Hong also noticed Lin Zheng's concerns and told the cadres to go about their own business.

After everyone left, Deng Hong poured Lin Zheng a glass of water.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Lin Zheng took the water, took a sip, and said, "Continue to target Wang Jianguo; strike while the iron is hot."

"After Qiu Ruiming was arrested, he got involved with Chen Ligang and secretly invested in many businesses."

"Once his source of income is cut off, he won't be able to keep up this for long."

Deng Hong was startled: "Cutting off his source of income? Isn't that too risky of you?"

Lin Zheng waved his hand and said, "No, Lin Hai is already one of ours."

"I need to discuss the specifics of how to proceed with this."

After saying that, Lin Zheng took out his phone and dialed Yang Wanshan's number.

He needs Yang Wanshan's support to take down Wang Jianguo.

"Mayor Yang, Wang Jianguo has left."

"They're gone? So fast?"

Yang Wanshan was taken aback, then asked Wang Jianguo what he had said next.

Lin Zheng didn't hide anything and told everyone what had happened in the office.

"Good for him, that old bastard deserved it."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Lin Zheng was waiting for Yang Wanshan's words.

"I plan to target Wang Jianguo's private businesses. If I can find something to hold against him, that would be even better."

"At that time, Mayor Yang, you will also have to step in and do your part to completely drive him out of Dianhai Town."

Yang Wanshan nodded in reply: "No problem, as long as you can find something on him, I'm willing to go all out."

At this moment, he also hated Wang Jianguo to the bone, and his mind was only thinking about revenge.

After ending the call, Lin Zheng didn't have time to be affectionate with Deng Hong and drove directly to Li Zhengang's battlefield.

He didn't have much time left, so he had to arrange everything and then use Deng Jianfeng's weakness to negotiate with the district.

On the battlefield, Li Zhengang was in his office, with an old acquaintance, Li Hua, sitting next to him.

When the two saw Lin Zheng coming over, they both greeted him with smiles.

Li Zhengang handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "Lin Zheng, are we in control now?"

Lin Zheng took the cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, and then stubbed it out hard.

"Wang Jianguo has come up with a new trick, and I plan to get rid of him completely."

"What happened?" Li Zhengang asked.

Lin Zheng told the whole story about the village committee.

After hearing this, Li Zhengang slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That feels so good!"

"That old fox probably hasn't been able to sleep for days after getting that scolding."

Lin Zheng said, "Boss Li, now is not the time to be happy."

"Wang Jianguo's matter can't be delayed. Is there any way to set a trap for him?"

Li Hua chimed in, "That's a good idea."

"He has been getting very close to Chen Ligang lately, and he often visits Chen Ligang's Oriental Hotel."

"My younger brother has seen him taking women there several times."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng's eyes lit up instantly.

Are you sure?

If this news is true, he has a chance to bring Wang Jianguo down.

Li Hua nodded: "My younger brother has run into him several times already."

"Every time, he would book a room on the top floor of the Oriental Hotel, accompanied by several women."

Lin Zheng turned his gaze back to Li Zhengang.

"Boss Li, this is an opportunity not to be missed."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Wang Jianguo right now and see if he goes to the Oriental Hotel again tonight."

Li Zhengang nodded, then took out his phone and made a call.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhengang asked the sand pit manager to have someone bring over a sumptuous meal.

"Let's not drink any more alcohol; we still have work to do later."

As Li Zhengang spoke, he urged everyone to start eating.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zhengang's phone rang.

The one who broke in was one of Wang Jianguo's underlings.

"Brother Gang, Wang Jianguo is out. He's in a Honda Odyssey minivan. There are three women in the car: two middle school teachers and one hospital nurse."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhengang laughed and cursed.

"Damn, is this old man really that strong? He needs three women to keep him company at once?"

Li Hua said, "No way, even the donkeys in the production team don't behave like that. That old man must have taken some kind of medicine."

After the two finished laughing and joking, their gazes returned to Lin Zheng.

"Lin Zheng, are we going to proceed with the plan?"

"We can't let such a good opportunity slip by."

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed Lin Hai's number.

"Director Lin, I need your support."

Time was of the essence, and Lin Zheng was too lazy to waste time arguing with Lin Hai, so he got straight to the point.

"Sure thing, just let me know if you can help, and I'll definitely do my best."

"I need you to lead a team to the Oriental Hotel to infiltrate and help me catch someone."

"The Oriental Hotel is owned by Wang Jianguo."

"Lin Zheng, are you trying to cause trouble here?"

Lin Hai countered with a question, neither agreeing nor refusing.

But Lin Zheng could tell from Lin Hai's tone that he didn't want to get involved in this mess.
