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

That day, Luo Shuixian finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hey Lao Lu, where do you sleep every day when you don't come home?"

"What's up?"

"No, I'm just curious."

"Go to my friend's place."

"So when do you plan to come back and stay?"

Why are you asking that? Are you scared living alone?

"Who's scared? I just feel a little bad that you're the one who rented the place and you're rarely back, leaving me to live alone."

"Hey, the sun must have risen in the west! You're still embarrassed?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Luo Shuixian was about to glare at him again, Lu Ming said, "Let's wait a few more days. I'm quite busy these days, so I'll go back once I'm done."

"What are you busy with?"

"secret."

Luo Shuixian grew increasingly curious, then suddenly puffed out her chest and said, "Tell me, and I'll give you a reward."

Lu Ming subconsciously swallowed and asked, "You're using this to test your cadres?"

"What? Isn't that enough? Don't be so greedy!"

"It's not about being greedy or not, I really can't say about this."

Seeing Lu Ming's decisive refusal, Luo Shuixian was taken aback.

No, how could he possibly resist the allure of a stunning beauty like me?

Luo Shuixian was now even more curious about what it was all about.

So she directly increased her bet.

"How about this, I'll warm your bed for you tonight, and then you can touch... your legs?"

Lu Ming was thinking, "Fuck you!"

These conditions are so severe that even the King of Heaven himself couldn't withstand them.

But this matter... I really can't talk about it!

"no."

When he said those two words, Lu Ming felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Another rejection?

Luo Shuixian finally realized that what Lu Ming was busy with must be extremely important.

She wasn't unreasonable, so she didn't press the matter further.

Just then, Lu Ming's phone rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It was Qian Kuo calling!

Has this guy finally lost his temper?

Lu Ming immediately went out and answered the phone in the hallway.

"Hello, Mr. Qian."

"Secretary Lu, are you free tonight?"

"Tonight... it's hard to say. As you probably know, Mr. Qian, whether we secretaries have time or not depends entirely on the boss."

"Hehehe, I understand, I'll contact you again later."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming went directly to report to Yu Wei.

"Mayor, Qian Kuo has contacted me."

"What did he say?"

He asked me to meet him tonight.

Yu Wei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then take care of yourself and contact me when you're done."

"Yes."

Lu Ming was excited. If Qian Kuo contacted him, it was probably to further corrupt him, which would also provide Lu Ming with an opportunity.

In the evening, Qian Kuo called again.

"Secretary Lu, are you free tonight?"

"Not busy tonight."

"Alright, No. 19 Guantang Road, High-tech Zone. Secretary Lu, come over here. Someone will greet you."

Upon hearing the address, Lu Ming's spirits lifted.

This is the address of Qingwufang!

After hanging up the phone, he felt a mix of excitement and trepidation.

I was excited because I could finally openly and legitimately go to Qingwufang to investigate.

The unease stemmed from the fact that this was where Qian Kuo entertained powerful figures and exchanged favors.

The fact that he asked me to meet him here suggests that he likely wants something from me.

Lu Ming was perfectly clear-headed. The reason why he, a mere secretary, was able to catch Qian Kuo's eye was entirely because he was close enough to Yu Wei.

Therefore, he is very likely to reveal his true intentions tonight.

After getting off work, Lu Ming drove directly to Qingwufang.

On the way, he sent a message to Mu Xueqi.

"Qian Kuo asked me to go to Qingwu Lane tonight. Don't contact me tonight to avoid being exposed."

"it is good."

After receiving Mu Xueqi's message, Lu Ming deleted all his sensitive chat and call logs.

He was worried that when he entered Qingwufang, the security guards there would confiscate his phone.

After all, Song Yiren said that they offer some special services there, so the checks must be extremely strict.

Especially for someone like him who is going there for the first time, in addition to confiscating his phone, they will probably also be searched to check for listening or surveillance devices.

At 7 p.m., Lu Ming arrived at Qingwufang.

As soon as the car pulled up outside the iron gate, the security guard came over.

After glancing at the license plate and confirming that it was correct, he walked to the car window.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Lu Ming said, "Chairman Qian sent me."

"What is your surname, sir?"

"Lu Ming".

"So it's Secretary Lu." The security guard immediately put on a smile, opened the iron gate, and guided him inside: "Secretary Lu, this way please."

At the same time, he pressed the intercom to announce: "Attention, Secretary Lu has arrived."

As soon as Lu Ming parked his car, a stunningly beautiful woman in a cheongsam approached. She opened the car door and said sweetly, "Secretary Lu, this way please."

From the outside, Qingwufang looks like an ordinary three-story building.

But once you step inside, it feels like you've entered another world.

The view suddenly opened up, and a lobby of over a thousand square meters came into view.

The dome is decorated with auspicious cloud patterns and is adorned with a striking crystal chandelier.

The lights were dazzling, making the seamless marble-patterned floor tiles underfoot even more eye-catching.

The entire lobby is spacious and bright.

Standing here, Lu suddenly felt extremely small!

Service staff moved back and forth in the lobby, and there were groups of sofas by the windows for people to rest and chat.

The windows are one-way privacy glass, providing excellent privacy.

The woman in the cheongsam smiled and said, "Secretary Lu, please come with me, I'll show you around here."

The woman led her down the winding staircase to the basement level.

"There are private hot springs here, so you can relax and soak in the hot springs if you feel tired."

Then we went down the steps to the second basement level.

"This floor is a casino, with many games: blackjack, slot machines, Texas Hold'em..."

This floor is very large, with an expansion of at least two or three thousand square meters.

As soon as I came down, I heard all sorts of noises.

One could see men and women, some dressed in suits and ties, others in bathrobes, placing bets with bloodshot eyes and shouting frantically.

Lu Ming wanted to see if there were any acquaintances inside, but the woman in the cheongsam didn't give him a chance to look any further before leading him into the elevator.

The second floor is the dining area, and the third floor is a club-like venue.

After walking around, Lu Ming was deeply moved.

If this place were open to the public, it would definitely be the most bustling clubhouse in Songxi.

As he came down from the third floor, the woman in the cheongsam handed him a tablet.

The screen is filled with many squares, and each square contains a picture of a beautiful woman.

Ice queen, mature lady, urban beauty, innocent college girl...

All styles are available.

The woman in the cheongsam smiled and said, "Secretary Lu, is there anyone you like? If so, please let me know and I will arrange it for you."

Lu Ming secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that Qian Kuo was really going all out!

This place simply cannot be built without a few small goals.

Moreover, maintaining its operation requires astronomical sums of money.

Such a huge expense, yet it's only used to entertain distinguished guests?

Lu Ming felt an even heavier weight in his heart.

What exactly is Qian Kuo plotting to control Yu Wei?

Lu Ming handed the tablet back to the woman in the cheongsam and asked, "Hasn't Chairman Qian arrived yet?"

"Chairman Qian has arrived. I'll take you there now."

Coming down from the third floor, the woman in the cheongsam led Lu Ming through a narrow, dark corridor.

The corridor was completely quiet, with only the sound of heels clicking on the floor tiles.

After walking through the corridor and turning at another intersection, we arrived at the door of a private room...
