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

After a brief moment of tenderness, their tempers flared up again.

Lin Zheng grabbed Deng Hong, ripped off her underwear from her short skirt, and immediately mounted his horse and galloped away.

.........

In the afternoon, the group continued their discussion in the conference room.

Whenever Lin Zheng proposed a method that was detrimental to Tianlong Engineering Company, Liu Shanhai would either veto it unanimously or change the subject.

Most of the afternoon had passed, and they still hadn't come up with even half a solution.

Lin Zheng knew that this couldn't go on, so he simply ended the meeting.

Back in the work group office, Lin Zheng lit a cigarette, sat down, rubbed his forehead, and pondered how to win over Liu Shanhai.

With this troublemaker in the village committee, their work will never be able to proceed.

Chen Li walked in and saw Lin Zheng smoking silently, looking worried.

She came to Lin Zheng's side, placed her hand on his shoulder, and gently massaged it.

"What are your plans next?"

"Should I take the receipt to Tianlong Engineering Company, or consult with head office?"

Lin Zheng exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke and said, "Neither method will work."

"Although we have receipts, Tianlong Engineering Company is refusing to pay, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Reporting to head office is even worse. Ma Cuihua has everything under control. She'll find an excuse to cancel the project, and we'll all be packing our bags and coming back."

"Right now, she'd be more than happy if the project failed, because that would be the safest option for her and the people with vested interests behind it."

Chen Li frowned: "Then what should we do?"

"We can't let Ma Cuihua get away with this for nothing and lose her job in the process."

"Of course not."

"Ma Cuihua treats us like fools, but we can't be fools too."

"The most important thing right now is not to figure out how to get that money back."

"The village committee isn't on our side; we need to settle that first."

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Lin Zheng meant.

"Are you planning to interfere in village committee affairs?"

"By doing this, one wrong step could lead to a deep quagmire."

There is no better solution at the moment.

"Without creating this breach, our work will never be able to proceed."

After thinking about it, Chen Li also felt that Lin Zheng's words made sense.

These two meetings today clearly demonstrate that Liu Shanhai definitely received benefits from Tianlong Engineering Company.

If we want to get the work done, we can't keep Liu Shanhai around.

"Lin Zheng, you must be careful in everything you do."

"The waters of officialdom are bottomless; if things get too bad, we'll just quit."

"Just ask if you need my cooperation."

Chen Li looked at Lin Zheng with eyes full of concern.

Since that night, her heart has slowly fallen for Lin Zheng.

She had been holding back that feeling of reaching the pinnacle for three years, and she didn't want to lose it.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"In a little while, you take this hothead Yang Zhian and run around to various villages to find out about the complicated relationships within the Zhuangdong Village Committee from the sidelines."

Chen Li nodded, kissed Lin Zheng, and left the office.

Lin Zheng stubbed out his cigarette and took out his phone to call Liu Rong.

As soon as the call connected, Liu Rong's bold and explicit words came through the phone.

"My darling husband, you finally remembered to call me."

Where are you now? I'm coming to find you right away.

"I've been so pent up these past few days, all I can think about is having sex with you, you bastard."

Lin Zheng was speechless for a moment; this woman was truly the epitome of contrast.

Who would have thought that such a dignified official's wife was actually a fujoshi (a female fan of yaoi/BL) in private?

"Sister Liu, I'm currently working in Dianhai Town, Nanshan District."

Liu Rong asked in surprise, "Ah...why did you end up working in such a remote mountain place?"

"Has something happened at the company? If it really comes down to it, quit your job, and I'll support you."

"Sister Liu, let's not talk about that now. I wanted to ask if you have any connections here?"

"I'm facing a bit of a problem and I need your help."

"I have some connections. Take a taxi to the Blue Ocean Hotel in Dianhai Town now."

"I haven't had sex for two days. Let's have some fun first, and then I'll introduce you to someone."

Liu Rong's words were simple and direct, revealing a strong desire for Lin Zheng.

After hanging up the phone, she immediately called the hotel to book a room, then took out several sets of sexy lingerie and left the villa.

Half an hour later, the two met at the Blue Ocean Hotel.

"Lin Zheng, I've missed you so much."

Liu Rong grabbed Lin Zheng and reached down to cover his mouth before he could react.

While kissing Lin Zheng, Liu Rong guided his hands to wander over her body.

Lin Zheng pushed up Liu Rong's clothes, picked her up, and buried his head in her arms.

"Ah...yes...I like it..."

Liu Rong pressed Lin Zheng's head down and shouted wildly.

After the two were entangled for a few minutes, Liu Rong patted Lin Zheng on the shoulder, signaling him to put her down.

After Lin Zheng let go, Liu Rong took off her clothes and put on fishnet stockings and alluring lingerie from her bag.

After doing all this, she opened the door, held onto the door frame, and turned to give Lin Zheng a knowing look.

This woman is so clever…

Lin Zheng immediately lost his temper, walked over and grabbed Liu Rong's hair.

Liu Rong bit her red lips, staring intently at Lin Zheng, her eyes filled with a desire for brutal conquest.

Which man could stand such provocation?

Snapped……

Without any hesitation, Lin Zheng raised his hand and slapped Liu Rong on the buttocks.

Before Liu Rong could even process what was happening, he launched a fierce attack.

A dozen minutes later, Liu Rong pulled Lin Zheng out of the room.

Is this woman crazy?

She's incredibly bold to come up in a busy walkway like that.

But at this point, Lin Zheng, who was in charge, stopped caring.

He hugged Liu Rong's waist tightly as they slowly walked out.

Liu Rong's heart was pounding.

In this environment, she quickly went into a frenzy.

She told Lin Zheng to stand firmly against the wall, and she would do it herself.

The two walked from the entrance of the corridor to the end of it.

Liu Rong was still not satisfied and pulled Lin Zheng to a room where someone was.

She bent down, pressed herself against the door of the room, and slowly bent over.

Lin Zheng understood Liu Rong's meaning, walked over and hugged her, continuing their frenzied pursuit.

Just as the two were engrossed in their work, they heard footsteps approaching.

Lin Zheng immediately stopped what he was doing, patted Liu Rong who was engrossed in her work, and signaled that someone had arrived.

Liu Rong remained unmoved, and immediately hugged Lin Zheng tightly, indicating that they would be there soon.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Lin Zheng also got carried away.

Seeing Liu Rong's crazed expression, he disregarded everything and launched a frenzied attack.

The footsteps grew closer, each sound sending shivers down their spines.

"Lin Zheng...I love you..."

As the footsteps drew closer, Liu Rong hugged Lin Zheng and shouted.

Lin Zheng felt a tingling sensation in his waist, followed by a numbing feeling that spread throughout his body.

At that moment, the footsteps reached the corner of the passage.

Liu Rong gave Lin Zheng a big kiss before pulling him towards her room.

The two returned to their room, and Lin Zheng tried to close the door but Liu Rong stopped him.

"Sister Liu, you're crazy."

Liu Rong looked at Lin Zheng and asked, "Don't you like it?"

"like."

Lin Zheng nodded, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

Liu Rong knelt outside the door, her back to the sound of footsteps.

She raised her head and licked her red lips, giving Lin Zheng a longing look.

"Don't move, I'll do it."
