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

Wang Yanchun roared, "Where did the video come from?"

Xu Lei shrank back and said, "Someone posted it online, and..."

"And what?"

"And...it's already trending on social media."

Wang Yanchun felt a sudden dizziness and almost fell over.

"Secretary, and also..."

"And what else?"

"And someone has already uncovered the lady's identity!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanchun's chest heaved violently.

孽 孽!

He leaned on the table, panting heavily, as if he might faint at any moment.

"Secretary Wang, are you alright?"

"Get out!"

After leaving the office with his phone, Xu Lei immediately downloaded and saved the video, planning to study it carefully that evening.

I must say, although Secretary Wang's wife is a bit older, she has a really great figure and fair skin; she's definitely worth keeping and reminiscing about.

After a moment's rest, Wang Yanchun hurriedly took out his phone and called Liu Chunshan, the propaganda minister, asking him to find a way to suppress the video's popularity.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chunshan was completely confused and asked, "Video? What video?"

Obviously, he doesn't know yet.

Although Wang Yanchun found it difficult to speak, he couldn't care less about that at the moment.

It's better to be embarrassed now than to have the story become a public scandal and everyone know about it later.

So he briefly explained the situation to Liu Chunshan, and after listening for a while, Liu Chunming finally said "okay".

After hanging up the phone, Liu Chunshan quickly found the relevant video online.

He stared intently at the video from beginning to end, without even fast-forwarding.

After reading it, he stroked his chin, looking like he hadn't had enough, and muttered, "Secretary Wang's wife is quite the ladies' man!"

……

The video was naturally released by Lu Ming.

He didn't mean anything by it; he simply wanted his colleagues within the system to appreciate Secretary Wang's wife's great figure.

After all, it's really not very interesting to watch such a good video by yourself alone.

"Old Lu, you're so wicked! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Looking at the video that had gone viral, Luo Shuixian turned around and laughed, "I thought you were going to use the video to threaten Wang Yanchun, but I didn't expect you to upload it online like this."

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "At his level, he doesn't care whether his wife is unfaithful or not."

"Trying to blackmail him with a video of his wife is far from enough."

After a while, Luo Shuixian suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why is the video's popularity starting to drop?"

"The video that just went viral is gone!"

Lu Ming seemed to have anticipated this situation, saying, "It must be the propaganda department that has taken action."

This kind of scandal certainly cannot be allowed to spread unchecked.

As the full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and the third-highest-ranking official in Songxi City, Wang Yanchun, to a certain extent, represents the overall image of the city.

The scandal involving his wife will undoubtedly have a negative impact on Songxi to some extent.

However, suppressing it now is clearly already a bit too late.

When Lu Ming went to the restroom, he overheard several departments discussing it in the hallway.

Even if the trending topic is removed now, everyone in Songxi's officialdom will know about it within an afternoon at most.

This kind of video won't have any real impact on Wang Yanchun, but it can really disgust him and let everyone know that he has a huge prairie on his head.

Yu Wei naturally saw the news as well and knew that this was Lu Ming's small revenge against Wang Yanchun.

A smile played on her lips. In fact, revealing this information had one advantage for her as well.

At least those male prostitutes at the Lanting Club won't be bothering me for a while.

Outside, after finishing his paperwork, Lu Ming went to the stairs to smoke.

In the current situation, Wang Yanchun is completely under control.

If there is another vote by the Standing Committee in the future, his vote is practically guaranteed.

As for the other standing committee members, although Yu Wei also hosted banquets for them, it's hard to say which side they're on given the current situation.

At the last Standing Committee meeting, Yu Wei forcefully secured the position of vice mayor, demonstrating her strength to everyone and letting them know that she has a powerful background and is not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, before the next Standing Committee meeting, a group meeting will definitely be held according to procedure to hear her opinions and views.

Overall, Yu Wei's ability to grow to her current level within two months of arriving in Songxi is already quite a success.

As Lu Ming finished smoking a cigarette and was about to head back, his phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Zhou Lin calling.

To be honest, if she hadn't called him first, Lu Ming would have almost forgotten about her.

"Hello, Secretary Zhou."

"Brother Lu, could you come to the hospital and help me with my discharge procedures?"

Her voice was so pitiful that it was hard not to feel protective of her.

But Lu Ming was an exception; he felt no sympathy whatsoever.

Zhou Lin's current predicament is entirely of her own making.

"Are you being discharged?"

"Um."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Lu Ming returned to his office and knocked on Yu Wei's office door.

"Mayor, Zhou Lin is about to be discharged from the hospital. He called me and asked me to handle his discharge procedures."

Yu Wei nodded and said, "After you've discharged her, send her home so she can rest for a few more days."

"Try contact District Chief Chen of Haiyuan District again when you have some free time and ask him if there are any suitable positions there."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the hospital, Zhou Lin had already packed up and was waiting for Lu Ming on the first floor.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, Zhou Lin forced a slightly stiff smile: "Brother Lu."

She dared not meet Lu Ming's gaze, afraid of seeing disgust and disdain in his eyes.

The horrible scene that happened in the hotel room that day flashed through my mind like a nightmare.

Although she wasn't particularly concerned about her own health, the thought of being taught a foreign language by two greasy middle-aged men, and then losing her secretary position after learning the language, made her feel extremely aggrieved.

After Lu Ming helped her complete the discharge procedures, he took her back to her residential compound.

After parking the car, I carried her things and escorted her upstairs.

Stepping out of the elevator, Zhou Lin opened her front door and said, "Brother Lu, come in and have some water."

Zhou Lin rented a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with a minimalist decor.

She took the things from Lu Ming and placed them on the table, then opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming took the bottled water, but showed no intention of drinking it.

Zhou Lin sighed inwardly, knowing that Lu Ming was being wary of her, fearing that she might have drugged the water.

Zhou Lin looked at Lu Ming and said sincerely, "Brother Lu, I'm really sorry about what happened before."

Lu Ming raised his hand: "Let's not talk about the past anymore. The mayor asked me to tell you to rest well during this period and not to put any pressure on yourself."

Zhou Lin hummed in agreement, and after a moment of silence, finally asked, "Brother Lu, what are the mayor's plans... for me?"
