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

Upon hearing the conversation in the recording, Ma Cuihua's face turned deathly pale.

"Lin Zheng, you..."

"What about me?"

Lin Zheng put away his phone with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Ma, what do you think the consequences would be if this recording were uploaded online?"

"A vice president of a large corporation forced a subsidiary's development manager to lick his shoes."

"Not only will your reputation be ruined, but the reputation of Tenghua Group will also be ruined."

"What do you think the board will do to you?"

Ma Cuihua trembled all over, her fingers gripping the edge of the table tightly.

"You...you bastard!"

"asshole?"

Lin Zheng smiled when he saw the angry Ma Cuihua.

"Mr. Ma, I'm the kind of person who doesn't bother others unless they bother me."

"You provoked me first today."

"Don't blame me."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Lin Zheng, you stop right there!"

A furious roar came from behind.

Lin Zheng didn't turn around and strode out of the office.

The door slammed shut, leaving Ma Cuihua alone in the office.

She thought for a moment and quickly chased after him.

Lin Zheng had just reached the elevator entrance when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Lin Zheng, you stop right there."

Ma Cuihua chased after him, her high heels clicking rapidly on the floor.

Her face was ashen, and her eyes were filled with rage.

"You think you can threaten me by recording a conversation?"

"Let me tell you, in Tenghua Group, no one can stop me, Ma Cuihua, from doing what I want."

Lin Zheng stopped and turned around to look at her.

"Mr. Ma, are you trying to completely break off relations with me?"

"To tear off the mask?"

Ma Cuihua sneered, "Who do you think you are, to dare to openly defy me?"

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Security guard, come up here."

"Someone is causing trouble in my office on the seventh floor."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Lin Zheng triumphantly.

"Lin Zheng, I'm giving you one last chance."

"Hand over that USB drive and the recording, then kneel down and apologize to me."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to leave once the security guards come up."

"When the time comes, I'll sue you for harassment and for threatening me."

"Who do you think the police will believe?"

Lin Zheng looked at her without saying a word.

"What? Scared?"

Ma Cuihua laughed and said, "If you're scared, then just be a good girl and listen to me."

"I'm a soft-hearted person. As long as you admit your mistake, I can let bygones be bygones."

"otherwise……"

She paused, then pointed in the direction of the elevator.

"You're finished once the security guards come up."

Lin Zheng leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it.

"Mr. Ma, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure."

Ma Cuihua nodded, "I just want to see just how capable you really are."

"How dare you act arrogantly in front of me."

"You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a USB drive?"

"I'm telling you, I already knew what was on that USB drive."

"That good-for-nothing Zhou Hailong thought he could secretly film a video without my knowledge?"

"I let him take the picture on purpose, just to lure you in."

"Lin Zheng, you've been in my trap from the very beginning."

"You think you're outsmarting me, but actually you've been led by the nose the whole time."

Lin Zheng exhaled a puff of smoke: "Mr. Ma, you are indeed impressive."

"But do you think I don't have a backup plan?"

"A backup plan?"

Ma Cuihua laughed, "What backup plan do you have?"

"That USB drive?"

"I'm telling you, the video on that USB drive is fake."

"I had it edited."

"If you take it to report it, you'll only bring shame upon yourself."

"When the time comes, I can just smear you, and you'll be in jail."

"Do you believe it or not?"

Lin Zheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Ma, are you sure that video is fake?"

"Sure."

Ma Cuihua nodded, "I personally had it edited, how could it be fake?"

"Then take a look at this."

Lin Zheng took out his phone from his pocket, opened a video, and handed it to her.

On the screen, there was a picture of Ma Cuihua and Liu Kaishan in the underground parking garage.

The picture is very clear; you can see the two people's faces and hear their conversation.

"Mr. Liu, you have to help me with this project..."

"Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch you..."

"As long as you obey me and make me comfortable, I guarantee no one will dare to touch you..."

Ma Cuihua's face turned deathly pale instantly.

This video is not the one she gave to Zhou Hailong.

Nobody knew about her relationship with Liu Kaishan, so how could a video of it have been taken?

"This...how is this possible?"

She reached out to grab the phone.

Lin Zheng took a step back and put his phone away.

"Mr. Ma, is this video real?"

"This was taken by someone Liu Kaishan hired."

"He kept something in reserve, just in case you turn against him one day."

You didn't know, did you?

"If I make a copy of this video and give it to Mrs. Liu, do you think she'll tear your face apart?"

Ma Cuihua was trembling all over, her lips quivering so much she couldn't speak.

"Lin Zheng, what...what do you want?"

"What do I want?"

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, didn't you just say you wanted to call security up?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

"I'll show this video to the security guards when they come up."

"Let them see what kind of person this so-called vice president of the group really is."

"you……"

Ma Cuihua's face was ashen, her fingers gripping her phone tightly.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened.

Four security guards came out.

"Mr. Ma, what's wrong?"

"The head of security asked."

Ma Cuihua glanced at Lin Zheng, then at the security guard, and gritted her teeth.

"This person is causing trouble in my office."

"Arrest him and take him to the police station."

The security captain was taken aback and walked up to Lin Zheng.

"Sir, please come with us."

Lin Zheng didn't move, he just looked at Ma Cuihua.

"Mr. Ma, are you sure?"

"Sure."

Ma Cuihua nodded. "Arrest him."

The security captain reached out and grabbed Lin Zheng's arm.

Lin Zheng took a step back, took out his phone from his pocket, opened the video, and held it up to the security captain.

"Take a look at this."

The security captain glanced at the screen, and his expression instantly changed.

In the scene, Ma Cuihua and Liu Kaishan are embracing, their clothes...

"this……"

The security captain's hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether he should grab it or not.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you doing anything?" Ma Cuihua said angrily.

The security captain glanced back at her, then at the phone in Lin Zheng's hand, caught in a dilemma.

"Mr. Ma, this..."

"What is this?"

"I told you to arrest them, didn't you hear me?"

The security captain gritted his teeth and reached out to grab Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng didn't dodge; he put his phone away and let Lin Zheng grab his arm.

"Mr. Ma, you'll regret this."

"regret?"

Ma Cuihua sneered, "I, Ma Cuihua, never regret what I do."

"Take him away."

The security captain escorted Lin Zheng toward the elevator.

Just then, the elevator doors opened again.

A middle-aged man in a black suit came out.

He is Zhao Guoqiang, the secretary of the group's discipline inspection commission.

"What happened?"

Zhao Guoqiang frowned as he looked at the scene before him.

Ma Cuihua's expression changed: "Secretary Zhao, what brings you here?"

"Someone has reported you for embezzlement, bribery, and abuse of power."

Zhao Guoqiang looked at her coldly, "The Discipline Inspection Commission has set up an investigation team. Please come with us."

Ma Cuihua's face turned completely pale.

"Secretary Zhao, this is a misunderstanding..."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll only know after an investigation."

Zhao Guoqiang waved his hand, and two staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission walked out from behind him.

"Comrade Ma Cuihua, please cooperate."

Ma Cuihua trembled all over, her eyes fixed on Lin Zheng.

"It was you...it was you who reported me?"

Lin Zheng shrugged: "Mr. Ma, it wasn't me."

"It's Liu Kaishan."

"He heard you were going to turn against me, so he struck first."

Ma Cuihua turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Two staff members from the Discipline Inspection Commission stepped forward, helped her up, and led her outside.

"Lin Zheng, you'll die a horrible death..."
