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

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei's eyes revealed undisguised admiration.

Although Lu Ming had no background, he was always clear-headed.

When faced with threats and temptations, one should be able to analyze the pros and cons in a very short time, make a decision, and choose the right path.

If Yu Wei only trusted Lu Ming before, now she completely accepts him.

"Go back now, and be careful on the road."

"Um."

On the way back, Lu Ming was on high alert, glancing at the rearview mirror every now and then, afraid that a truck might crash into him at any moment.

Back home, Lu Ming lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Although he was determined to fight this Mr. Qian to the end.

However, it is undeniable that the gap in strength between the two is too great.

He is now all enthusiasm and passion, but he has no rice to cook.

The next day, as soon as Yu Wei entered the office, she said to Lu Ming, "Come with me to the provincial capital in a little while."

"Yes."

Lu Ming was curious. Last time, Yu Wei went to the provincial capital to ask for the position of vice mayor. What was she doing this time?

He suppressed his curiosity, glanced at Yu Wei's schedule for the day, and then called each of them to inform them to change their times.

A moment later, Yu Wei came out of the office and said, "Let's go."

On the way, Lu Ming received a call from Xu Ru.

"Secretary Lu, I've arranged for Secretary Zhou to be the deputy director of the subdistrict office."

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Ming put down his phone and said to Yu Wei, "Mayor, the position assigned to Secretary Zhou has been finalized: Deputy Director of the Haiyuan District Subdistrict Office."

Yu Wei nodded: "You handle it. From now on, you don't need to report these kinds of small things."

Lu Ming was taken aback. Yu Wei had previously said that he had to report to her on all matters, big or small, but now she had changed her mind. Could it be that she was about to start delegating authority to him?

"OK."

It was 11 a.m. in the provincial capital.

The two had lunch at a restaurant. After finishing their meal, Yu Wei made a phone call and then left with Lu Ming.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the outside of an old government office building.

There are white signs with black lettering hanging on both sides of the building.

Tiannan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Petition Office.

Provincial Administrative Supervision and Reporting Center.

……

This is the office location of the provincial discipline inspection commission officials.

Is the mayor here to meet with officials from the provincial discipline inspection commission?

Are you going to report someone?

Lu Ming followed Yu Wei up to the third floor and stopped in front of the official Ji's office.

The official's secretary was sitting outside. He seemed to know Yu Wei well, and stood up with a smile, saying, "Mayor Yu."

After exchanging greetings, he knocked on the office door and opened it, saying, "Secretary Shen, Mayor Yu has arrived."

"Please let her in."

"Mayor Yu, please come in."

Yu Wei nodded in acknowledgment and led Lu Ming into the office.

The secretary poured them tea and then left.

As soon as Yu Wei sat down, she said to Lu Ming, "Secretary Lu, tell Secretary Shen what happened last night."

Lu Ming was taken aback, and finally understood why Yu Wei had come here today.

He accepted cryptocurrency from Director Qian last night. Although there was an element of pretense, the fact of accepting bribes is clear. That's why Yu Wei brought him here specifically to report to the Discipline Inspection Commission.

The mayor truly lives up to his title; he handles everything with meticulous care.

Lu recounted the events of the previous night in detail, and then handed the card with the account number and password written on it to Secretary Shen.

Secretary Shen glanced at the card and chuckled, "Using 20 million in cryptocurrency to bribe the mayor's secretary, that's quite a generous gesture."

He looked up at Lu Ming, his eyes scrutinizing, and asked, "Have you investigated?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "No."

Secretary Shen said, "Then let's check on-site. We can't just accept whatever amount they say."

"it is good."

Lu Ming took out his phone, operated it for a while, and entered his account and password.

After the screen redirected, the market value of the cryptocurrency in the account was instantly displayed.

2088 million.

Even though Lu Ming didn't consider himself a greedy person, seeing such a long string of numbers made his heart race.

If he relied solely on his fixed salary, he would never earn this much money in his entire life.

Secretary Shen put down the card and said, "If there are similar situations in the future, just report to Mayor Yu directly."

"Yes."

Secretary Shen turned to Yu Wei and asked, "Mayor Yu, it's rare for you to come to the provincial capital. How about we have dinner together tonight?"

"No, I'll head back to Songxi later!"

Secretary Shen smiled and shook his head: "Hehe, Mayor Yu is really eager to get things done. In that case, I won't keep you any longer."

"Secretary Shen is busy, so we won't bother you any longer."

Yu Wei stood up, bid farewell to Lu Ming, and left.

When Lu Ming turned around, he clearly saw Secretary Shen shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Considering his attitude towards Yu Wei just now, it was indeed a bit too intimate. It wasn't the tone of a superior-subordinate conversation at all; instead, it sounded like a kind elder.

As for Yu Wei, she remained calm throughout the entire meeting with Secretary Shen, barely saying a few words before getting up to take her leave.

This made Lu Ming even more convinced that Yu Wei's background was definitely extraordinary.

They either have powerful backers or strong family backgrounds!

As they exited the building, Lu Ming asked, "Secretary, should Director Ding still investigate Chairman Qian's situation?"

Yu Wei shook her head, looked at Lu Ming, and said, "You investigate."

"Huh? Me?"

"What's wrong? Lack of confidence?"

Lu Ming smiled wryly and said, "It's not a matter of whether I have confidence or not, it's just that I'm not a professional after all."

Yu Wei seemed to have already made up her mind, saying, "You investigate first, and we'll see if you can find anything."

Lu Ming was speechless.

While being valued by your superiors is a good thing, this seems a bit too much.

On the way back, Lu Ming began to think about how to investigate Chairman Qian.

He was just a secretary, and there were no other people he could mobilize.

He did have Xiao Dao and a few others with him, but this matter was too dangerous, and he really didn't want to involve them unless absolutely necessary.

Similarly, the same applies to Su Ran.

Just because she was close to him, she was retaliated against by Wang Yanchun. If she were allowed to investigate, Qian Dong's retaliation would probably be even more severe.

Mu Xueqi?

She could do it, but Lu Ming was worried that something might really happen.

Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes lit up.

He knows who to contact!

Song Yiren!

She's now the infamous Sister Song in the underworld; with her abilities, she can definitely help me.

However, their last conversation was unpleasant, so Lu Ming wasn't sure if Song Yiren would help.

To be on the safe side, Lu Ming decided to wait a little longer.

After all, the fact that Mr. Qian generously bribed me with 20 million yuan worth of cryptocurrency must mean more than just making friends.

He will definitely need my help someday. When he contacts me again, I'll see what he can ask me to do.

Perhaps we can follow the clues and find out his true intentions.

It was already past 3 p.m. when they got back to the city. Lu Ming called Zhou Lin and asked her to report to Haiyuan District.

When Zhou Lin learned that she was to be the deputy director of the subdistrict office, she breathed a sigh of relief.

This position was better than she had imagined.

For the next two weeks, everything was calm and peaceful.

Lu Ming waited for Chairman Qian's call every day, but it never came.

"They really know how to keep their composure!"

Lu Ming leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed in worry.

Is he just going to keep waiting without ever contacting me?

Tangled!

"Feed?"

Just then, Luo Shuixian received a phone call.

He was acting normally until suddenly he started shouting in a fit of emotion.

"I said I'm not going, I'm not going!"

"Hmph, fine, break it off then. I'm not going!"

Luo Shuixian angrily hung up the phone; judging from the dramatic fluctuations in her voice, she was truly furious.

Lu Ming leaned closer with a cheeky grin and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Tell me about it, so I can have some fun too!
