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

Seeing that Lin Mei was already intoxicated, Lin Zheng went over and grabbed her.

Lin Mei looked on with anticipation.

They launched the attack in the most brutal way possible.

"Yes, that's it."

"I want to cheat on my husband."

Lin Mei suppressed her voice and kept shouting.

These words were like a stimulant, driving Lin Zheng even more insane.

Two hours later, Lin Mei collapsed completely, unable to even move her fingers.

Lin Zheng was still full of energy and vigor, with the strength to uproot mountains and the spirit to overwhelm the world.

"You bastard, I'm going to die here."

Lin Mei watched intently, then breathed a sigh of relief and climbed over again.

The two embraced, and a new round of competition began.

This time, the two of them stayed up until dawn.

Since today is Saturday, all staff members except those on duty are on holiday.

Neither of the two people in bed wanted to get up.

In his dazed state, Lin Zheng felt a surge of heat.

He lifted the blanket and saw that Lin Mei was looking down.

The two of them went through another round of commotion until Lin Mei's husband called, at which point they finally stopped.

After seeing Lin Mei off, Lin Zheng lit a cigarette, then took out his phone, replaced the SIM card, and dialed the police.

"Hello, I'm reporting a foot massage parlor for allegedly engaging in prostitution."

After reporting the incident to the police, Lin Zheng drove to the foot massage parlor opposite Yang Feng's place.

I parked the car in a corner, then sat in the breakfast shop, eating breakfast while observing.

About ten minutes later, a police car drove up, and two police officers got out.

The two did not go inside; after getting out of the car, they simply stood beside it and smoked.

A short while later, Yang Feng came out of the club, carrying two red bags in his hands.

From a distance, Lin Zheng could only see that the bag contained cigarettes; he couldn't see anything else inside.

Yang Feng chatted with the two policemen for a few minutes, then patted them on the shoulder, looking like brothers as they talked and laughed.

After taking the items, the two police officers drove away immediately.

The entire process was recorded by Lin Zheng.

Through this probing, he also concluded that the Tianhe Town Police Station deserves much credit for making Yang Feng and his gang of thugs so audacious.

Without these people backing him up, Yang Feng wouldn't dare to be so arrogant, no matter how bold he was.

After breakfast, Lin Zheng returned to his residence.

The safest place now is the town government's dormitory.

He pulled out his notebook and reorganized it into a memo of interpersonal relationships and the troubles he would encounter after starting work.

For the rest of the time, he didn't go anywhere.

Aside from taking turns meeting up with Lin Mei and the others, all they did was wait for the new town mayor to arrive.

Two days later, Monday.

Today is the day Lin Lanxin takes office, and everyone is guessing which important figure will accompany this town mayor with connections in the city.

Lin Zheng also had some expectations.

The higher the rank of the person accompanying her, the stronger Lin Lanxin's connections are.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Zheng arrived at the office with three prepared documents.

Just as Lin Zheng was pondering which document to show Lin Lanxin first, a commotion arose outside the office.

"Here it comes, here it comes, an Audi A6L, it's Minister Guo's car."

"Five cars were sent as a gift; it seems those rumors were true."

"With the new town mayor having such strong connections, it seems Secretary Tan's days are numbered."

There was a lot of discussion in the office, and everyone stood at the window craning their necks to look.

Some department heads, upon seeing this display of power, had already begun to consider which side to take.

They were all seasoned veterans of officialdom, and they keenly sensed that the situation was gradually tilting.

The city's organization minister personally accompanied them down; how much prestige does that require?

Even a newly appointed district head wouldn't receive this kind of treatment, would he?

Even if such a person is just here to gain experience, Tan Wenfeng is not someone he can afford to offend.

However, some cunning old foxes had a different idea in mind.

Even if the new town mayor is a big shot, he'll just be gilded and then leave.

If they side with the new mayor, do you think Tan Huafeng will let them off the hook once the new mayor leaves?

While many cunning old foxes were making their own plans, Lin Zheng was also plotting.

Seeing that it was a motorcade from the Municipal Organization Department, Lin Zheng felt more confident.

The stronger the new mayor's connections, the higher his chances of successfully opening up the situation.

However, we still need to find a way to make Lin Lanxin listen to us, otherwise all our plans will be a waste of time.

At the entrance of the town government, Lin Lanxin had no idea that as soon as she came down, most of the town government officials began to plot their political careers, with her at the center.

After she got out of the car, she waved to Guo Yangsheng inside.

"Uncle Guo, you should go back now."

"This convoy is so conspicuous, I'm worried people will gossip."

Guo Yangsheng, inside the car, nodded: "Lanxin, remember what your uncle said, just do your job well."

"If you're having a bad day, just call your uncle, and he'll come down and pick you up."

After saying that, Guo Yangsheng waved his hand, signaling the convoy to leave.

Chen Shunhai was waiting at the gate early in the morning, bowing like a servant, his fat face full of smiles.

"Mayor Lin, welcome to work in Tianhe Town."

"Because Secretary Tan had some trouble and couldn't come out to greet us, the government decided that the Party and Government Office would be responsible for the reception throughout the process."

"The office has been arranged for you. If you need anything else, just give me a call and I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away."

"Also, the Party and Government Office is arranging a welcome party at 8 PM tonight on the eighth floor of the Huanghai Restaurant. Is that alright with you?"

Lin Lanxin frowned, then waved her hand and said, "There's no need for all that formality at the welcome party. Let's go check out the office first."

"Also, please immediately compile a detailed list of information on the cadres of Tianhe Town and send it to my office."

Chen Shunhai was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded.

"Oh, right."

Lin Lanxin took a few steps and then stopped, her gaze returning to Chen Shunshan's face.

Under Lin Lanxin's gaze, Chen Shunhai broke out in a cold sweat.

"Mayor Lin, what's wrong?"

"I heard that Secretary Tan was involved in a bribery case and was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

"This...this..."

Chen Shunhai stammered for a long time, unsure of how to answer.

Lin Lanxin frowned: "Really? Is it so difficult to say a word?"

Chen Shunhai said, "Yes, but I think there must be some misunderstanding."

"The whole thing started because Ma Liang, the director of Yangxi Village Committee, bribed Lin, the group leader."

"It's possible that Ma Liang used Tan's name to intimidate others, which is why the Discipline Inspection Commission invited Tan for questioning."

"Director Chen, are you not telling me the truth?"

"Now I'm asking you, whose side are you on?"

"Don't forget your identity; you're the director of the Party and Government Office."

"The Party and Government Office is under the jurisdiction of the town government. I am your direct superior, not Tan Huafeng from the town committee."

"If you try to fob me off, then go and guard the reservoir at Yangxi Village Committee."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunhai broke out in a cold sweat.

He originally intended to fool Lin Lanxin, but he didn't expect this woman to be even more assertive than Tan Huafeng.

At that moment, he was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, I won't do it again."
