At the Pinnacle of Power: The Female Leader and Her Chief Advisor

However, despite being tempted, he wasn't so tasteless as to shake his head and say, "No comment."

Luo Shuixian raised an eyebrow: "Hey, you can't be too greedy! What other conditions do you want?"

Lu Ming looked her up and down and said, "What other conditions do I want? What, you'll agree if I tell you?"

"You go first, and whether I agree or not depends on my mood!"

"You said it yourself."

"Hey, hurry up and say it, stop dawdling here."

"Okay, then take it off and let me grab a handful."

"Lu Ming!"

"Hey, I said I wouldn't tell, but you forced me to."

Luo Shuixian took a deep breath and coldly snorted, "Tell me if you want, or don't! If you don't want to, then forget it!"

Lu Ming deliberately proposed conditions that Luo Shuixian could not accept, only in this way could he make Luo Shuixian back down.

He and Mu Xueqi weren't a couple after all, and he wasn't so shameless as to flaunt such a thing.

Around 2 PM, Lu Ming heard some noise from Yu Wei's office, so he got up and knocked on the door to report the latest situation.

After listening to Lu Ming's report, Yu Wei instantly grasped the key information.

It's definitely not a coincidence that Zhou Yu and Wang Yanchun's wife got together.

Someone must have instructed Zhou Yu to approach her.

"Mayor, have I sent you the video yet?"

"No."

"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to spread the video later."

Yu Wei frowned slightly upon hearing this. She wanted to say something, but remembering that Lu Ming always acted with discretion, she nodded and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

Lu Ming had just left the office when Yu Wei's phone rang.

It was Uncle Hong calling.

"Uncle Hong, have you found a lead?"

Uncle Hong said, "Yes, this Zhou Yu should have been arranged by Director Qian of the Lanting Club."

Lanting Club?

Yu Wei made a note of this place, intending to investigate this Mr. Qian thoroughly.

……

In the shopping mall, Su Ran was shopping for clothes at a high-end men's clothing brand store.

Although Lu Ming wasn't angry last night, she still felt guilty, so she planned to buy him two formal suits as an apology.

Now that he's the mayor's secretary, it would be inappropriate for him to wear clothes that are too cheap.

"This set, and this set, wrap up that tie and the belt next to it."

After swiping her card, Su Ran was about to call Lu and ask him to come out.

Just as she took out her phone, her mother called.

"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"

"Ranran, where are you?"

Su Mu immediately sensed something was wrong with her mother's words and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

"Your dad...sigh..."

After hearing this, Su Ran froze on the spot, her face deathly pale.

Her father's company had a sum of money involved in telecommunications fraud, which resulted in the freezing of all the company's funds.

Her father begged and pleaded with everyone he could, but to no avail.

Although Su Ran hadn't figured out the specifics yet, her intuition told her that she must have offended someone.

It should be noted that Su's father would make donations to relevant departments every year, and he would take care of all the leaders. Whenever there was a problem, those leaders would notify him in advance to make corrections.

This time, the account was frozen so suddenly, and no one could unfreeze it. This is really abnormal.

Moreover, the fact that the entire company's funds were frozen here indicates that the person who issued this order wielded considerable power.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be right back."

Su Ran rushed home, where only her mother and the nanny were present. Her father had probably gone to ask for help from his connections.

"Mom, did Dad say who did it?"

Mother Su shook her head and said, "I don't know. It's payday in a few days. If the funds are frozen at this time, and the wages can't be paid, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

Su Yun's first thought at that moment was to seek help from Lu Ming.

But she rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

Lu Ming's position as secretary is not yet secure, and because of Song Chuhe, those leaders probably won't respect him anymore.

Moreover, she doesn't even know who Su's father has offended. Even if she finds Lu Ming, what good will it do?

At this moment, Su's father returned.

Su Ran rushed over and asked, "Dad, how is it?"

Su's father glanced at Su Ran and forced a smile: "It's alright, I'll find someone else, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Su Yun knew her father too well; that expression clearly showed he was forcing a smile and couldn't solve the problem.

"Dad, do you know who did it?"

Su's father shook his head.

Su's mother asked, "Payment is coming soon. Are you going to borrow some from the bank, or do you want to ask Lao Liu and the others for some?"

Father Su sighed, "Don't count on Old Liu and the others. They already know our situation and refuse to lend us any money."

"I guess the people who targeted me are too powerful, and they don't want to get involved."

Su's mother said, "Then we'll have to go to the bank."

Mr. Su shook his head again: "I'm afraid the banks are in trouble too. I contacted several bank managers, but they all made various excuses to avoid it."

Su's mother's face darkened further: "They won't even lend from the bank?"

She knew exactly what this meant.

This means that the people who wanted to deal with Su's father had already made arrangements with the bank.

This is going to destroy them!

"Old Su, who exactly did you offend?"

Father Su frowned and said, "If I knew who I had offended, I wouldn't be wandering around like a headless fly now."

In his business dealings, he always valued harmony and treated everyone with courtesy, never making enemies.

Now, completely bewildered, I've been framed?

The crucial point is that we still don't know who it is!

Old Liu and the others knew, but no matter how much he asked, they just wouldn't tell him.

Su Ran felt very sad seeing her father's helpless appearance.

She had always lived a life of comfort and ease, getting whatever she wanted, and never imagined that such a change would happen to her family one day.

Especially now that something has happened, she finds herself unable to help at all.

Just as she was about to grit her teeth and contact Lu Ming, Liu Yiyi suddenly called.

Looking at Liu Yiyi's phone, Su Ran suddenly remembered the dinner invitation she had made to her.

Liu Yiyi said that there were many rich second-generation people at the dinner party, and perhaps she could borrow some money from them to help her family get through the difficulties.

Thinking of this, Su Ran ran back to her room to answer the phone.

"Hey, Yiyi."

"Ranran, you haven't forgotten tonight's dinner party, have you?"

"without."

"That's good. I've sent you the address. Remember to dress nicely!"

"Um."

In the evening, Su Ran followed the address sent by Liu Yiyi to a high-end restaurant.

There were already thirteen or fourteen people in the private room, all of them young men and women in their twenties and thirties.

The men were handsome, the women were beautiful, and they were all dressed in extraordinary clothes, wearing either famous watches or expensive jewelry.

Any one of these items could be worth several years' salary for an average person.

Seeing Su Ran enter, Liu Yiyi hurried over and said, "Ranran, you're here! Let me introduce you."
