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

Lin Zheng leaned down and kissed her neck.

Qiu Xiuqin tilted her head back and bit her lip hard.

The two of them struggled for more than an hour before collapsing onto the sofa.

Qiu Xiuqin leaned against him, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.

"Lin Zheng, do you think the project will really go smoothly?"

"able."

Lin Zheng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "As long as you guys help me, I'll definitely succeed."

"us?"

Qiu Xiuqin looked up at him and said, "You mean Old Yang?"

"Yes, Mayor Yang has been in Dianhai Town for so many years and has a wide network of connections. With his help, many things are easier to handle."

"Old Yang is a cautious person."

He helps you because he sees your value.

"If you become useless one day, he will abandon you without hesitation."

"I know."

Lin Zheng exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "That's why I need to keep myself useful."

Qiu Xiuqin smiled and said, "You have this kind of energy that makes people feel at ease."

The two lingered for a while longer before Qiu Xiuqin checked the time.

"You should go now, Old Yang will be back soon."

Lin Zheng nodded, got up, and dressed.

As he reached the door, Qiu Xiuqin suddenly grabbed him.

"Lin Zheng, Old Yang will be home tomorrow. Want to come over for dinner?"

"it is good."

Qiu Xiuqin tiptoed and kissed him on the lips: "Be careful on the road."

Lin Zheng walked out of the residential area, the night breeze blowing on his face, dispelling the heat from his body.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

With Yang Wanshan's help, the issues with the road administration bureau and the power supply station were resolved.

But there are other departments as well, such as the Planning Bureau, Water Resources Bureau, and Environmental Protection Bureau...

Running them one by one, I don't know how long it will take.

We need to find a way to get it done in one go.

All of these require the help of Yang Wanshan.

Lin Zheng shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and hailed a taxi to go back to his residence.

In the evening, Lin Zheng bought a box of fine tea and a bottle of Moutai, and took a taxi to Yang Wanshan's house.

The door opened, and Qiu Xiuqin secretly kissed Lin Zheng.

"Come in, Old Yang is in the living room."

Lin Zheng walked in, and Yang Wanshan was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Mayor Yang, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Don't be so polite, have a seat."

Yang Wanshan put down his newspaper and pointed to the sofa opposite him.

Lin Zheng sat down and placed the tea and Moutai on the table.

"Mayor Yang, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

Yang Wanshan glanced at it and smiled, "You're just too polite."

"Of course."

Qiu Xiuqin poured tea for the two of them and sat down next to Yang Wanshan.

Yang Wanshan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Lin Zheng.

"Lin Zheng, how are your preparations for the project going?"

"We've already received approvals from the road administration bureau and the power supply station; next up are the planning bureau and the water resources bureau."

"Director Zhao of the Planning Bureau is not easy to talk to."

Yang Wanshan put down his teacup. "You need to be mentally prepared."

"Mayor Yang, could you help me make a connection?"

"Yes, but on one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"After the project is completed, the town will take a 5% stake."

Lin Zheng frowned: "Mayor Yang, didn't you say it was three percent before?"

"Times have changed."

Yang Wanshan wasn't in a hurry and leaned back in his chair.

"I've helped you so much, asking for an extra two percent isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Lin Zheng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I agree."

"That's good."

Yang Wanshan smiled and said, "I'll arrange for Director Zhao to meet you another day."

"Thank you, Mayor Yang."

As the two chatted, Qiu Xiuqin's hand quietly reached out again and gently stroked Lin Zheng's leg.

Lin Zheng stiffened, but remained expressionless and continued chatting with Yang Wanshan.

Qiu Xiuqin was very bold, and she gently ran her hand across his inner thigh.

Lin Zheng gasped and squeezed his legs together.

Yang Wanshan, oblivious to the situation, continued, "Also, you need to personally oversee the demolition."

"Those families have agreed to receive half of the demolition compensation, but who knows if they will change their minds?"

"Therefore, you need to sign an agreement with them, with everything clearly written down in black and white."

"I see."

Lin Zheng's voice was a little tense because Qiu Xiuqin's hand had already reached his waist.

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

Yang Wanshan looked at Lin Zheng and asked.

"It's nothing, I'm probably just too tired lately."

Lin Zheng forced a smile.

"Then you should take care of yourself and get some rest, don't overwork yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Mayor Yang."

The two chatted for a while longer before Qiu Xiuqin stood up.

Yang Wanshan didn't notice their actions and continued talking about the project.

"You need to prepare the materials with the planning bureau."

"Their approval process is very complicated; you can't do it if even one document is missing."

"I know, preparations are already underway."

"That's good."

Yang Wanshan nodded. "And the Water Resources Bureau, their approval process isn't easy either."

"You need to talk to their bureau chief and see if you can get through the fast track."

"Do you know the director of the Water Resources Bureau?"

"I know them, but we're not close."

Yang Wanshan thought for a moment and said, "I'll host a dinner party another day, invite them all out, and discuss things on the table."

"Thank you, Mayor Yang."

The two chatted for more than half an hour before Qiu Xiuqin came out of the kitchen.

"Dinner is ready, come and eat."

The three sat down at the dining table, and Qiu Xiuqin poured Yang Wanshan a glass of Moutai.

"Old Yang, you're in a good mood today, have a few more drinks."

Yang Wanshan laughed and said, "When did you learn to persuade people to drink?"

"Isn't that Lin Zheng? Everyone's happy."

As Qiu Xiuqin spoke, she poured Lin Zheng another cup.

Lin Zheng raised his glass: "Mayor Yang, this is a toast to you."

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Qiu Xiuqin poured wine and served food to Yang Wanshan, constantly urging him to drink.

"Old Yang, have another drink."

"well."

Yang Wanshan picked up his wine glass and drank another glass.

After a few drinks, his face began to flush, and his speech became somewhat slurred.

"Lin Zheng, you must make sure this project is done well."

"Once this is done, you'll have a firm foothold in Dianhai Town."

"You might end up getting fired."

"I know."

Lin Zheng nodded and said, "That's why I've been working hard."

"Effort alone is not enough; you have to work your hardest."

Yang Wanshan raised his glass: "Come on, let's have another drink."

The two clinked glasses again.

Qiu Xiuqin continued to urge Yang Wanshan to drink, and he accepted all the drinks offered.

Half an hour later, he lay slumped on the table and stopped moving.

"Old Yang? Old Yang?"

Qiu Xiuqin nudged him, but there was no response.

She stood up, walked to Lin Zheng's side, and hugged him tightly.

"Lin Zheng, I miss you."

As Qiu Xiuqin spoke, she reached down to his waist and pulled down his pants.

Lin Zheng's mind went blank for a moment, and he grabbed her hand.

"Sister Xiuqin, Mayor Yang is still here..."

"He's drunk, he won't wake up."

Qiu Xiuqin squatted down, looked up at him, and her eyes were alluring.

"Lin Zheng, I want you."

Lin Zheng could no longer control himself, picked her up and put her on the sofa.

The two were entangled together...
