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

In the coffee shop, Lin Zheng found a quiet corner, ordered a latte, and quietly savored it.

His gaze was fixed on his watch, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

A few minutes later, the phone on the table rang.

The caller ID showed Zhou Xia.

Lin Zheng glanced at it, pressed the hang-up button, and slowly sipped his coffee with his other hand.

What happened?

Hearing the notification sound in her ear, Zhou Xia frowned.

She parked her car and dialed Lin Zheng's number again.

This time, the call went through.

"Lin Zheng, I've arrived at the company. Come to my temporary office."

Lin Zheng responded, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I'm not a company employee right now and can't enter the office."

Zhou Xia's hand holding the phone trembled, and her face turned pale on the spot.

At this critical moment, no mistakes can be made; otherwise, if Lin Zheng's secrets are exposed, she will definitely end up in jail for reformation.

"What happened? Tell me in detail."

"When did the company fire you? I haven't heard a thing!"

"It wasn't the group that dismissed him, it was Zhang Xiaoli, the deputy manager of the project department," Lin Zheng said.

Zhang Xiaoli?

Zhou Xia stiffened and immediately retorted angrily, "What right does she, a department manager, have to fire me?"

"That's what I just said."

"But she called security and said she would take responsibility for whatever happened."

"You know my situation right now, I have no choice but to compromise."

Lin Zheng said in a calm and unhurried tone.

"You wait here, I'll handle it."

Zhou Xia hung up the phone, her face turning black with anger.

Once inside the temporary office, she immediately dialed her husband Zhang Wenhai's number.

She is currently just a representative sent down from the head office and has no authority to interfere in the project department's affairs.

This matter can only be handled by Zhang Wenhai.

"Zhang Wenhai, what's going on with Zhang Xiaoli from the project team?"

"Who gave her the authority to dismiss Lin Zheng?"

"Are you trying to ruin our plans?"

"Do you still want to be the vice president?"

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Xia launched into a tirade against Zhang Wenhai.

Zhang Wenhai was completely stunned, holding his phone.

Did Zhang Xiaoli fire Lin Zheng?

What the hell is going on here?

"Honey, don't get agitated. Tell me what happened in detail."

Zhang Wenhai, snapping out of his daze, hurriedly asked.

"I don't know what happened either. You need to find out and deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhou Xia replied with one sentence and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Wenhai was so angry that his face turned ashen. He took out his phone and dialed Zhang Xiaoli's number.

Deputy Manager's Office.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhang Xiaoli, who was getting ready, was overjoyed.

She quickly put down her lipstick and pressed the answer button.

"Manager Zhang, I've already kicked Lin Zheng out, he's been an eyesore."

"I've done you such a big favor, how are you going to make it up to me?"

"compensate?"

Zhang Wenhai roared, "You fucking want compensation?!"

"I'm giving you three minutes. Get to my office right now."

Zhang Xiaoli's expression changed drastically. She quickly put down her phone and rushed to Zhang Wenshan's office.

"What happened with Lin Zheng?"

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or you know what I'm capable of."

Zhang Wenhai stared at Zhang Xiaoli and said coldly.

Zhang Xiaoli dared not hide anything and told the whole story of what had just happened.

After saying that, she shamelessly sat on Zhang Wenhai's lap and called him "husband".

"Honey, haven't you always wanted to get rid of Lin Zheng?"

"They've done you such a big favor, why aren't you happy?"

Zhang Wenhai rudely reached his hand inside Zhang Xiaoli's clothes, roaming freely and wantonly.

"You're of no help whatsoever."

"I want to get rid of Lin Zheng and send him to jail, but now is not the time."

"Go and ask Lin Zheng to come back right now, or you'll lose your job as deputy manager."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoli's expression changed once again.

"Honey, I've already made a bet with Lin Zheng."

"If I lose, I'll have to run naked around the office three times."

"Would you really let me be naked in front of the other men in the office?"

Zhang Wenhai frowned, and his hands, which were roaming over Zhang Xiaoli's body, suddenly exerted force.

Zhang Xiaoli gritted her teeth in pain, but dared not show her dissatisfaction on her face.

"Zhang Xiaoli, stop pretending to be innocent in front of me."

"Do you think I don't know how many men you've slept with in the project team? Do you think I'd care about running around naked in the office?"

"I don't care what method you use, Lin Zheng must appear in President Zhou's temporary office one hour from now."

"If you can't do it, I'll take everything you have now and ruin your reputation."

"I...I'll go and bring Lin Zheng back right now."

Zhang Xiaoli nodded, not daring to resist in the slightest.

In order to climb the social ladder, she cooperated with Zhang Wenhai to film many private videos.

If Zhang Wenhai wanted to ruin her reputation, it would be easy for him.

At that moment, she was filled with deep regret.

She secretly regretted that she was too eager to show off and drive away Lin Zheng in order to please her new master.

Just as Zhang Xiaoli stood up to go find Lin Zheng, Zhang Wenhai pulled her back.

"Don't rush me, I'm really angry right now, you need to calm me down first."

"Take off your clothes right now and kneel down."

Zhang Xiaoli felt very uncomfortable, but she could only obediently do as she was told.

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Xiaoli walked out of Zhang Wenhai's office, her face pale.

She went to the restroom and gagged, washed her face, put on makeup again, took out a sexy lace outfit from her bag and changed before heading to the coffee shop where Lin Zheng was.

At the coffee shop, Lin Zheng had just finished his coffee when he saw Zhang Xiaoli at the door.

Zhang Xiaoli walked up to Lin Zheng and sat down: "Lin Zheng, I was wrong."

Lin Zheng did not respond. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and his gaze fell on the lace trim on Zhang Xiaoli's new dress.

"You came all this way just to say this to me?"

Zhang Xiaoli bit her lip and lowered her voice: "I'm here to fulfill the bet."

"Also, please go back to work."

"Let's put going back to work aside for now."

"How are you going to fulfill our bet?"

Zhang Xiaoli said, "When I said fulfilling the bet, I didn't mean the streaking thing."

"If that's not the case, then what are you doing here?" Lin Zheng asked.

"I...I..."

Zhang Xiaoli opened her mouth and looked around.

Once she was sure no one was paying attention, she unbuttoned two buttons on her business suit, revealing a large expanse of her ample, snow-white skin.

"I bought a sexy lace dress, do you want to see it?"

"I can give it to you if you agree to go back to work."

Lin Zheng stared at the expanse of white, not in a hurry to answer.

Although Zhang Xiaoli is not as beautiful as Zhou Xia, her figure is equally stunning.

Faced with such temptation, a normal man simply cannot resist.

Lin Zheng is a normal man, so naturally he has his own thoughts.

"If you nod, I can give it to you right now."

As she finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoli lifted her foot and kicked Lin Zheng's thigh.

Lin Zheng's gaze fell on Zhang Xiaoli's feet, and the fishnet stockings on them made his heart race instantly.

"Give it to me here?"

"Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"Of course not here."

Zhang Xiaoli's gaze fell on the coffee shop's restroom.

"We can go there or to the stairwell."

"Do you want to conquer me?"

"If you want to, then come with me."

Zhang Xiaoli got up and went to the restroom.

Seeing the swaying, plump figure, Lin Zheng stubbed out his cigarette and followed without hesitation.
