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

After a passionate kiss, their primal desires were ignited.

Looking at the protruding area, Deng Hong's staring gaze seemed to want to devour it.

Before long, the two embraced and began a new round of fighting.

As dawn broke, Deng Hong reluctantly left the private room.

"When will you arrive? I'd like to prepare to welcome you," Deng Hong asked as she was leaving.

The town issued an order to the village committee to restart the project.

Have all the village committee cadres cooperate with Lin Zheng and others to hold a small welcome party, where everyone can get together for a meal and get to know each other.

Lin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Today is the first day, there's no need to rush."

"Around ten o'clock, I'll let you know in advance."

"Okay, I'll wait for your message."

Deng Hong kissed Lin Zheng and left the room.

An hour later, around 8 o'clock, Chen Li swiped her room card and walked in.

She placed the hotel buffet breakfast down, then gently slipped into bed.

Lin Zheng, still half asleep, felt a tingling sensation.

He rubbed his eyes, looked down, and saw that Chen Li was using her mouth...

Seeing Lin Zheng wake up, Chen Li smiled mischievously.

"You're awake. Don't move, I'll help you."

After saying that, Chen Li continued her work.

At this moment, Lin Zheng was no longer able to sleep. He grabbed Chen Li and launched an attack on the spot.

Chen Li responded enthusiastically, hugging Lin Zheng tightly, as if she wanted to merge her body into Lin Zheng's.

The battle ended at 10:20 PM.

Chen Li glanced at the time and exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly grabbing her clothes from the ground and putting them on.

"Oh no, I'm late."

"Let's get dressed quickly, we can't keep the village committee waiting."

"No rush, it's only the first day, we haven't officially started working yet," Lin Zheng said.

Just then, the cell phone on the table rang; it was Yang Zhian calling.

"Manager Lin, I've arrived at the office. Secretary Liu asked me to inquire when you'll be there."

"Tell Secretary Liu that I have some things to attend to and will be there in about forty minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng enjoyed Chen Li helping him get dressed.

After checking out of their room and having breakfast, the two hailed a taxi to the village committee of Wangzhuangdong.

Inside the car, Chen Li took out her phone, opened a document, and handed it to Lin Zheng.

"Look at this, I received it yesterday, but I forgot to tell you."

Lin Zheng took the phone and opened the document, which contained the interpersonal relationships of the Zhuangdong Village Committee cadres and the activity areas of idle people in society. The complexity of the document made Lin Zheng frown.

After reading it, Lin Zheng handed the phone back to Chen Li.

"Did you investigate this?"

Chen Li nodded and said, "I need to be fully prepared, just in case."

"By the way, keep these two receipts safe. They are key evidence that could turn the tide."

After saying that, she took out the receipt from Tianlong Engineering Company for the money she received from Zhuangdong Village Committee back then.

Lin Zheng took the receipt, put it in his pocket, took out his phone to send a message to Deng Hong, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, the taxi came to a steady stop in front of the Zhuangdong Village Committee.

Deng Hong came out to greet them personally.

At this moment, Deng Hong put on light makeup again, applied bright red lipstick, and her jet-black hair was piled up high. She wore a white work uniform with a black short skirt, and her proud figure was so alluring under the tight fabric.

Lin Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Deng Hong again.

At work, Deng Hong is like a different person. She has a cold and aloof demeanor, and her image is like that of a strong woman. She makes people fantasize about her, but she also gives people the feeling that she is difficult to get along with.

Is this what you call a contrast?

Thinking about Deng Hong's crazy performance last night, and looking at Deng Hong's current work status, Lin Zheng felt inexplicably excited.

Seeing Lin Zheng's gaze fixed on her, Deng Hong lightly bit her lip and gave him a subtle hint before walking over.

"Manager Lin, Assistant Chen, on behalf of the Zhuangdong Village Committee, I warmly welcome you."

"Shall we eat first, or talk about work first?"

Deng Hong asked in an official tone.

Behind him were village committee secretary Liu Shanhai, deputy secretary Chen Minghui, and other village committee members.

"Let's talk about work first. Everyone's here, which makes it easier for me to understand the situation," Lin Zheng said.

Liu Shanhai walked over and said, "Manager Lin truly lives up to his reputation as a talent handpicked by Tenghua Headquarters."

"To be a development manager at such a young age, his future is limitless."

Seeing Liu Shanhai's forced smile, Lin Zheng became secretly wary.

"Compared to Secretary Liu, my achievements are a joke."

"For a long time to come, I will be staying at the village committee. I hope Secretary Liu will take on more responsibility."

Liu Shanhai shook Lin Zheng's hand and said with a smile, "Manager Lin, you're too kind."

"I warmly welcome you to develop Zhuangdong Township. Please don't hesitate to ask the village committee for help whenever you need it."

"It's getting late, let me show you around the project first."

Led by Liu Shanhai, the group entered the working group's office.

After introductions, Liu Shanhai, who was in charge, cleared his throat and spoke first.

"The Nanshan development market project was initially built to make life more convenient for the people, reduce their walking distance, and facilitate their self-production and self-sales to improve their living standards."

"Now that it's become an abandoned project, not only is the road impassable, but it also involves disputes over demolition compensation for eight households. All of us here bear an inescapable responsibility."

"At this point, it's pointless to assign blame. We need to find a way to shoulder this responsibility and provide the people with a peaceful environment for development."

"Manager Lin, now that you're down here, you need to help the village committee resolve this problem first, otherwise the project can't proceed."

Damn, no wonder he's a Party Secretary, his speaking skills are simply phenomenal.

They talk about taking responsibility, but they don't actually mean it.

With just a few simple words, he not only perfectly shifted the blame but also subtly threatened him.

What does it mean to "help the village committee solve the problem first" mean? It means to make him pay money to fill the hole.

Otherwise, the project cannot proceed; this statement is a blatant threat.

Lin Zheng cursed inwardly, never expecting Liu Shanhai to be so cunning and shrewd, giving him a hard time right from the start.

Deputy Secretary Chen Minghui took over the conversation.

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Many villagers have started to become agitated and have been throwing stones at the village committee office building."

"The families whose homes were demolished even went to the town to make a scene, saying that they had nowhere to live and when the demolition compensation and the land the government had promised them for building houses would arrive."

"If the government's promises are not fulfilled in another month, they will go to the government building and jump off the building with the staff."

Other cadres from the Sanming Municipal Committee and the Sanming Municipal Committee were also added to the list.

After listening for a while, Lin Zheng finally understood what these people wanted to express.

In summary, Zhang Wenshan's money, which he had deposited with the village committee, was stolen.

The previous government official was transferred at the same time, and the promised compensation for demolition could not be paid.

If you want to develop this abandoned project, you first need to pay the compensation for the demolition.

Lin Zheng picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and sneered inwardly.

The cadres led by Liu Shanhai are trying to fleece him like a fat sheep.
