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

Ma Cuihua's curses echoed for a long time in the company building.

Lin Zheng didn't turn around. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Zhao Guoqiang walked up to him and looked him up and down for a moment.

"You're Lin Zheng?"

"Yes."

"We have received the materials you submitted."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Lin Zheng nodded: "Of course."

"To have such skills at such a young age, no wonder she values ​​you so much."

Zhao Guoqiang smiled, turned around and walked into the elevator.

The corridor returned to silence.

she?

who is it?

Lin Zheng leaned against the wall and exhaled a puff of cigarette smoke, too lazy to dwell on the "she" Zhao Guoqiang was talking about.

After overcoming numerous crises, he won this round, but it was not an easy victory.

If he hadn't acted first and exposed the matter to Zhao Guoqiang, he might be the one being taken away today.

"Manager Lin, are you alright?"

The security captain walked over, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He almost arrested Lin Zheng just now.

Lin Zheng waved his hand: "It's nothing."

The security captain nodded and left with his men.

Lin Zheng was the only one left in the corridor.

After leaving the head office building, Lin Zheng flagged down a car and prepared to rush back to Dianhai Town.

Now that Ma Cuihua, his biggest obstacle, has fallen, he should plan his next move.

Just as he was about to get into the car, his cell phone rang. It was Qiu Xiuqin calling.

"Lin Zheng, Ma Cuihua has been taken away?"

Lin Zheng was taken aback, then took out another cigarette and lit it.

"Sister Xiuqin, you really have connections everywhere."

"How did you get wind of something that just happened within the Tenghua Group so quickly?"

Qiu Xiuqin said, "Zhao Guoqiang is my friend."

Lin Zheng was taken aback, and immediately realized that the "she" Zhao Guoqiang was referring to was Qiu Xiuqin.

"Yes, Ma Cuihua has been taken away."

Coming to his senses, Lin Zheng nodded in reply.

"Did you do this?"

"Yes."

Qiu Xiuqin was silent for a moment, then asked, "What are your plans for the next step?"

"Let's go back to Dianhai Town first and get the project settled."

"With Ma Cuihua gone, Li Ting should be able to back down."

"Be careful," Qiu Xiuqin cautioned.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zheng told the driver to drive off.

It was already 3 p.m. when we got back to Dianhai Town.

Lin Zheng did not return to his residence, but went directly to Tianlong Engineering Company.

The receptionist's expression changed slightly when she saw him approaching.

"Manager Lin... Manager Lin, General Manager Li is not here today."

"Not here?"

Lin Zheng frowned and asked, "What a coincidence, he wasn't here as soon as I arrived?"

Do you know where he went?

"I...I don't know."

The receptionist lowered her head and spoke hesitantly.

Lin Zheng knew she was lying, but he didn't make things difficult for her and turned to leave.

After leaving Tianlong Company, he dialed Li Ting's number.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

He dialed again, but still no one answered.

"Oh shit."

Lin Zheng cursed, flagged down a car, and headed towards the town government.

The town government, Wang Jianguo's office.

When Lin Zheng pushed open the door, Wang Jianguo was looking at documents.

Upon seeing Lin Zheng, he looked up and smiled.

"Manager Lin, what brings you here?"

"Mayor Wang, you need to help me urge Li Ting on his end."

Lin Zheng poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.

"Now that Ma Cuihua has fallen, he should be panicking."

Wang Jianguo put down the documents and leaned back in his chair.

"Manager Lin, you did the deed involving Ma Cuihua, didn't you?"

"I heard from Lao Zhao that there are enough ingredients for Ma Cuihua to drink a whole pot."

"That was a brilliant move."

Lin Zheng shook his head and said, "Mayor Wang, I don't have any special methods. I was forced into this situation."

Wang Jianguo was taken aback: "You were forced into it?"

"Manager Lin, there are no outsiders here, so please don't joke with me."

"I'm not afraid of Mayor Wang laughing at me, but I was really forced into a corner and had no other choice but to resort to this tactic."

My goal is to cooperate with her.

"Killing her won't do me any good."

"When one Ma Cuihua falls, thousands more will rise."

"If we can cooperate, I have no intention of bringing her down."

"But you can't reason with a damned devil. She's determined to kill me, so I have no choice but to strike first."

Wang Jianguo nodded and said, "I'll urge Li Ting on his end for you."

"If he continues to make excuses, then we'll take legal action."

"I've invited Vice President Qin Guozheng out tonight so we can all meet up."

"However, Manager Lin, let me remind you of something."

"Li Ting has very strong connections; he definitely won't surrender easily."

"Although Ma Cuihua has fallen, it won't have a big impact on him. You'd better be prepared."

"I know."

Lin Zheng nodded and stood up: "Thank you, Mayor Wang."

"Don't mention it, we're business partners."

Wang Jianguo smiled and saw him to the door.

In the evening, Lin Zheng returned to his residence, took a shower, and lay in bed reviewing his performance.

Ma Cuihua has fallen, the project has fallen apart, but there's still no way to resolve it.

Li Ting is dragging his feet on repaying the money, and the demolition compensation is nowhere to be found.

Lin Zheng sat up, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

Wang Jianguo said he would make an appointment with the vice president, but there has been no news since.

If we don't break into Li Ting's side, the project simply can't continue.

Lin Zheng glanced at the time; it was already 6:27.

He picked up his phone, ready to call Wang Jianguo and ask about the appointment with Qin Guozheng.

Just then, the phone rang.

As soon as Lin Zheng answered the phone, he heard Wang Jianguo's voice.

"Lin Zheng, I've already arranged a meeting for you."

"Find a secluded place, and find a few young women with good figures."

"Old Qin likes this kind of thing."

"If we can get him on our side tonight, Li Ting's matter is basically settled."

"Call me back once you've made all the arrangements."

After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone before Lin Zheng could react.

Lin Zheng stared blankly at his phone for a few seconds, then burst into a tirade of curses.

"Damn it, Wang Jianguo is a bastard."

"Where can we find a secluded place at this time?"

"Where can I find young women with good figures?"
