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

Lin Zheng never dreamed that the lover who was having an affair with Xu Xiumei was Zhang Wenhai, the project manager.

Zhang Wenshan is involved in many projects within his project team.

In addition, he is also Zhou Xia's husband.

Lin Zheng now deeply regrets not taking precautions against Xu Xiumei.

Zhang Wenshan had mentioned those secret projects to Xu Xiumei before.

No wonder Xu Xiumei received the news that Zhou Xia had terminated the investigation into him.

If Zhang Wenhai was an anonymous whistleblower, then everything makes sense.

With Zhang Wenshan in trouble, the most likely successor is his wife, Zhou Xia.

After Zhou Xia took over Zhang Wenshan's position, he, as the department manager, naturally succeeded Zhou Xia as the vice president.

As for Xu Xiumei, she was Zhang Wenhai's pawn from beginning to end.

Zhang Wenhai spent money on her not only to sleep with her, but also to gain access to Zhang Wenshan's secret projects.

That son of a bitch, that was a brilliant scheme.

Lin Zheng cursed under his breath, took out his phone, and started recording a video.

Judging from their behavior, Zhou Xia definitely doesn't know about this yet.

This is an opportunity for revenge.

The two people on the small boat completely ignored the security guard's shouts.

They rowed their small boat to the other side of the lake, and after getting ashore, they left in a hurry.

Lin Zheng put away his phone and took a taxi back to the hotel.

After taking a cold shower, Lin Zheng lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa to smoke quietly.

Zhou Xia wasn't the only one who wanted Zhang Wenshan's position.

Chen Kexin was eyeing the situation covetously, along with Zhou Zheming from the Human Resources Department and Li Zhengguang from the Administration Department.

However, new leaders don't use the old people; this is an unspoken rule in the workplace.

No matter who gets promoted, it won't benefit him, the former secretary.

It seems we have no choice but to take another path.

Lin Zheng stubbed out his cigarette and lay on the bed, pondering how to gain a greater advantage in this contest.

Xu Xiumei certainly didn't know that he had already discovered her secret with Zhang Wenhai.

This secret is very important; we must make good use of it.

However, he still needs to think carefully about how to utilize this opportunity.

As for that bastard Zhang Wenhai, hehe, you slept with my girlfriend, so I won't be polite to your wife either.

Zhou Xia was planning to use her body as a bargaining chip, so he wouldn't hold back.

After making up his mind, Lin Zheng took out his phone and opened the photo album.

It contains photos of Chen Kexin in her office.

At this moment, Chen Kexin did not call, indicating that she was also afraid that her husband would find out about this, and Lin Zheng's tense heart relaxed.

As long as Chen Kexin doesn't cause trouble, these photos can be used as bargaining chips.

In his current situation, he must make full use of everything he can.

The dazed look on Chen Kexin's face in the photo made Lin Zheng feel extremely uncomfortable.

After enjoying the view for a while, Lin Zheng felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep.

He had a dream after he fell asleep: in the office, Chen Kexin had taken off her business attire, wearing only a skirt and alluring black stockings, and pressed her body tightly against him, calling him "husband" loudly.

He pinned Chen Kexin down on the desk and did whatever he wanted with his hands.

Just as Lin Zheng was holding Chen Kexin down, about to take the next step, a phone rang, waking him from his dream.

Lin Zheng was furious. He was interrupted at the most crucial moment. He picked up his phone and saw that it was Zhou Xia calling.

"Lin Zheng, come back to the company. I have something to tell you."

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Xia's voice came from the other end.

"What can't be discussed over the phone?" Lin Zheng said irritably.

"It's not convenient to talk on the phone, let's meet in person."

"Wait for me in the temporary office."

"Okay, I'll go to the company in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng's mind was still filled with the vivid images of his dream with Chen Kexin.

Zhou Xia's insistence on meeting at this time, without discussing it over the phone, indicates she's in a hurry.

Since you're in such a hurry, don't blame me for being impolite.

"I'll start by collecting interest from you on Zhang Wenhai's debt," Lin Zheng said with a wicked grin, already plotting how to extract interest from Zhou Xia.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Xia had just come out of the bathroom, wearing a transparent lace dress.

After putting down her phone, she took off her lace in front of the mirror, applied skin cream, and revealed her hot figure.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhou Xia straightened her posture confidently and then turned to admire her perfect shapely figure.

As a woman, she herself felt that her figure was impeccable.

Zhang Wenhai, standing nearby, had burning eyes and reached out with both hands without any hesitation.

Zhou Xia hummed in agreement, biting her lip, and pressed her body against him.

Zhang Wenhai simply grabbed at the food with both hands a few times, but made no further move.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he was powerless to do so.

Last night, Xu Xiumei took advantage of him several times, and it didn't end until the early hours of the morning.

Besides Xu Xiumei, he also had an affair with Zhang Xiaoli, the deputy manager of the project department.

He's been causing quite a stir lately.

He could only stare blankly at Zhou Xia, who looked on with longing.

Zhou Xia frowned, her face showing displeasure.

"Zhang Wenhai, what's wrong with you?"

"They used to do it three times a day, they practically wanted to eat me alive."

"You can't even have it once a month now?"

Zhang Wenshan quickly smiled apologetically: "Honey, I've been under a lot of pressure lately."

"Once you sit in Zhang Wenshan's position, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

"The most crucial thing now is to get that kid Lin Zheng under control."

Zhou Xia suppressed her displeasure: "Are you sure this method will work?"

Zhang Wenhai said, "It'll definitely work. What man in the world isn't lustful?"

"Lin Zheng is just a young boy who's barely grown any hair; he definitely won't pass your test, wife."

"We must take advantage of the fact that he doesn't know who reported Zhang Wenshan, and set a trap to completely crush him."

"Otherwise, once he comes to his senses, we'll be in even bigger trouble."

Zhou Xia said, "Zhang Wenhai, I've noticed you're a bit of a pervert."

"You're the first person to push their wife into another man's arms."

Zhang Wenhai quickly explained, "Wife, we're just pretending to be serious. Our goal is to trick that kid into handing over Zhang Wenshan's secret projects."

"If we can get our hands on those secret projects, we can access Zhang Wenshan's network of connections."

"This is a project worth tens of millions; it will all go into our pockets."

"If Lin Zheng is serious, should I play along and make this a real thing?"

Zhou Xia countered with a question, a hint of longing in her heart.

Zhang Wenhai hadn't touched her for several months, and Lin Zuodong, being old, was also unable to perform well even with medication.

Every time she felt something, Lin Zuodong would confess.

She was actually looking forward to having a chance with a handsome guy like Lin Zheng in his mid-twenties.

Seeing the longing look on Zhou Xia's face, a ruthless glint flashed in Zhang Wenhai's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Don't worry, honey, I've arranged everything. He can't really do it."

"If he dares to keep the appointment, I guarantee he will follow in Zhang Wenshan's footsteps."
