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

Liu Rong's words were without a trace of shame, nor did they need to be.

At that moment, she had only one thought: to go crazy and let Lin Zheng possess her completely.

These words were like a shot of adrenaline for Lin Zheng, making his eyes turn bloodshot.

He quickly stepped forward.

For a moment, the world fell silent.

The two remained close together, neither making any unnecessary movements.

Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Rong's forehead. She bit her lip tightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Zheng's face.

Several dozen seconds passed before the two of them finally caught their breath.

After catching her breath, Liu Rong rolled her eyes and said, "Lin...Lin Zheng...my good husband..."

"That bump just now almost made me see my great-grandmother."

Lin Zheng grinned mischievously and said, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"You have no idea, I almost couldn't breathe just now."

After Liu Rong finished speaking, she pointed to the ground.

"In that instant, I arrived."

Lin Zheng looked down and saw that there was indeed a puddle on the ground.

"What do I do now? I've only just begun."

Liu Rong slowly relaxed and then sat back down next to Lin Zheng.

"You eat, I'll serve you."

………………

For the next half hour, Lin Zheng ate while enjoying Liu Rong's service.

After the meal was finished, Lin Zheng arrived.

Neither of them was wearing clothes, and they were just holding each other tightly.

"Lin Zheng, you called me out for more than just this, didn't you?"

Lin Zheng took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, nodded, and said, "It's definitely not about that."

"You must know what's been happening in Dianhai Town and the district lately, right?"

Liu Rong nodded: "I heard that this was something that Zhou Guangrong and my husband and a few others did."

"Their goal is to expand their influence and compete for the position of district chief."

"Zhou Guangrong was worried that he would be purged after stepping down, so he secretly arranged for his people to sabotage things and try to kick my husband and another deputy district head, Li Fuhai, out of the picture."

"Yang Wanshan was my husband's former subordinate. If something happens to him, Zhou Guangrong will definitely seize the opportunity to make a big fuss and bring my husband down."

Liu Rong's words hit the nail on the head; she not only knew these things, but also analyzed them very well.

It is a common and frequently used tactic in officialdom to use subordinates to bring down their superiors.

For example, now that Wang Jianguo has gotten into trouble, Liu Changhe will definitely seize on this to put pressure on Zhou Guangrong.

However, Lin Zheng was not concerned with the infighting among these leaders.

What he cares about is how to gain enough benefits from the power struggles among these leaders.

The purpose of this visit to Liu Rong was to see if she knew Deng Jianfeng's wife.

Facing Deng Jianfeng directly is too risky.

If you start with Deng Jianfeng's wife, the chances of success will be greater.

But Lin Zheng couldn't come up with a way to persuade Deng Jianfeng's wife.

Seeing that Lin Zheng didn't speak, Liu Rong asked in surprise, "You're involved in this too?"

Lin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm currently in the eye of the storm, so I'd like to ask Sister Liu for your help."

Liu Rong kissed Lin Zheng and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Lin Zheng didn't hide anything and told everyone his plan.

Liu Rong was also taken aback after hearing Lin Zheng's plan.

"Using leverage to control Deng Jianfeng is no small matter."

"Deng Jianfeng is still a member of the Municipal Standing Committee."

"Lin Zheng, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

Lin Zheng nodded: "I've thought about it, that's why I came to discuss it with you."

"I know this is very risky, but it's not without opportunity."

"In your circle, who has a good relationship with Deng Jianfeng's wife?"

Liu Rong's eyes flickered, and she immediately understood Lin Zheng's meaning.

"Are you planning to start with Deng Jianfeng's wife?"

"Yes, she should be easier to deal with than Deng Jianfeng," Lin Zheng said.

Liu Rong still looked worried.

"Deng Jianfeng's wife is named Chen Ailian, and she is the owner of Chaoyang Property Management Company in the district."

"She oversees the property management of dozens of residential communities. A woman with that kind of ability is no pushover."

"What you have might not be enough to make her submit."

"Does Chen Ailian run a property management company?" Lin Zheng asked.

"Yes, Chaoyang Property Management Company is involved in the property management of almost all the residential buildings in the district."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng lit a cigarette and began to ponder.

After the project is successfully developed, property management will also be required.

Would it be feasible to make a deal with Chen Ailian to acquire full property management rights?

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng said, "Sister Liu, my goal is not to make her submit, but to cooperate."

"I believe she wouldn't refuse the opportunity to get leverage over her husband and make money."

"Cooperation??" Liu Rong said, "What do you have to offer her for cooperation? She wouldn't even look at small business opportunities."

"I plan to take over all property management rights for the project, along with all the dirt on her husband."

Liu Rong thought for a moment and said, "It will take a long time for the project to be completed. Besides, your offer is just empty promises to her."

"Based on my understanding of Chen Ailian, I estimate that we won't be able to reach an agreement."

Lin Zheng said, "Sister Liu, it's all up to us."

"Could you help me get in touch with her?"

"Also, does Chen Ailian have any unusual hobbies?"

Liu Rong shook her head and said, "Although we're in the same circle, we don't have much contact."

"I have her contact information, but I don't know if she'll even give me the time of day."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng immediately frowned.

He originally thought that Liu Rong and Chen Ailian had some communication, which would make it easier for him to talk to her later.

Unexpectedly, Liu Rong and Chen Ailian were not very familiar with each other, which made things difficult.

Lin Zheng thought about it and realized that Liu Rong was not part of his previous plan.

The most crucial thing right now is to meet Chen Ailian in person.

Only after a face-to-face meeting can we come up with a plan for the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Zheng said, "Sister Liu, let's not worry about whether we can reach an agreement for now."

"We are currently able to contact Chen Ailian, but how to discuss it is a matter for later."

Upon hearing Lin Zheng's words, Liu Rong did not rush to make a phone call, but instead reminded Lin Zheng to pay attention to some matters.

After discussing for half an hour, Liu Rong finally took out her phone and dialed Chen Ailian's number.

"Sister Chen, this is Liu Rong."

As soon as the call connected, Liu Rong gave her name.

Lin Zheng was taken aback. From Liu Rong's tone, he realized that Liu Rong was not someone like Chen Ailian at all.

"Oh, Liu Rong, what's up?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Ailian's tone was indifferent.

"It's nothing, a friend just contacted me and said he has something very important and wants to meet with you to talk about it."

"Something important?"

Chen Ailian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Sister Liu, you're not trying to introduce me to some business, are you?"

"Sister Chen, it's not about business."

Liu Rong paused deliberately, then lowered her voice.

"It's about your husband, and it's very important."

Liu Rong deliberately emphasized the four very important words that followed.

Chen Ailian immediately understood what was going on when she heard the tone was off.

However, she wasn't nervous; instead, she tentatively asked, "How important is it?"

"This could affect Secretary Deng's career," Liu Rong said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ailian immediately became restless.

"Is the other party someone from the officialdom or from the underworld?"

Liu Rong responded, "No, he's just an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and obtaining these things was entirely accidental."

Hearing this, Chen Ailian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liu Mei, thank you so much. It's room 888 at Wangjiang Tower. Please bring her over at 1 p.m. I'll thank you handsomely once it's done."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

After ending the call, Liu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's settled. She agreed to meet at 1 p.m. in private room 888 of Wangjiang Tower."

Lin Zheng kissed Liu Rong: "Thank you so much, Sister Liu."

Liu Rong said coquettishly, "Is this how you thank me?"

"So, how does Sister Liu plan to thank you?" Lin Zheng asked with a mischievous grin.

"Of course it's to make me feel good."

Liu Rong made no attempt to hide her true feelings and spoke her mind.

At this moment, both of them were naked.

Provoked by Liu Rong, Lin Zheng instantly lost his temper.

"Sister Liu, let's do something different today."

Lin Zheng told Liu Rong to turn around, then he hugged her leg from behind and walked to the huge mirror in the room.

"Sister Liu, look in the mirror."

"Look how sexy I am in there."
