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

Chapter 178 Embezzlement of State-Owned Assets

The bathroom was very clean and had no odor.

Lu Ming pushed open a cubicle and pulled the woman in the cheongsam inside.

As soon as she entered, Lu Ming reached out and lifted the hem of her cheongsam.

Her thighs were long and straight, which was invigorating and exciting to look at.

Lu Ming groped her all over, and soon the woman in the cheongsam was completely overwhelmed, pleading, "Secretary Lu... we... we'll go somewhere else."

Lu Ming didn't reply, his hands continuing their work. He lowered his head and bit her proud breast hard through her cheongsam.

The woman in the cheongsam trembled violently, her body becoming even more limp.

Just as Lu Ming was about to unbuckle his belt, his phone suddenly rang at an inopportune moment.

This wasn't a phone call; it was an alarm that Lu Ming had set in advance.

He answered the phone, feigning impatience.

"Feed...what? Okay, okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming grumbled as he fastened his belt, saying irritably, "Alright, let's go."

Seeing that things were about to stop again, the woman in the cheongsam hurriedly knelt down and said, "Secretary Lu, I'll help you, it'll be quick."

Lu Ming hesitated, seemingly very conflicted, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Next time."

He fastened his belt, pushed open the door, and left.

In Qian Kuo's eyes, his image as a greedy person has now been established.

Generally speaking, alcohol, sex, wealth, and anger are inseparable; if one is tainted by one, one will at least have another bad habit.

Therefore, Lu Ming appropriately displayed his lecherous nature.

Restrooms are supposed to be relatively safe places, but this is Qingwufang, Qian Kuo's territory, so there might be surveillance cameras here. It's always better to be careful.

Today he also appropriately displayed his lecherous nature, which should be enough to fool Qian Kuo for a while.

After he left, the woman in the cheongsam immediately went to Qian Kuo to report on her work.

"Did he take you to the restroom?"

"Yes, Secretary Lu was very impatient. He pulled me inside, and before I could even stand up straight, he had already lifted up my cheongsam."

"Hehe, did you do it?"

The woman in the cheongsam shook her head and said, "No, he had just unbuckled his belt when he received a phone call. It seemed like he had some urgent business to attend to."

"I offered to help him with my mouth, but after some hesitation, I refused."

Qian Kuo nodded, not taking it too seriously.

He had witnessed Lu Ming's changes from his first visit to Qingwufang until now.

Every single one of this person's reactions fell precisely into his analysis.

His gambling addiction has become fully apparent, and as for his womanizing, it has already shown signs today.

The reason they haven't made a move on the woman in the cheongsam is simply because they're worried about being monitored.

In fact, he was not the only one with this concern; almost all the customers who came to Qingwufang were cautious at the beginning.

However, after collaborating a few times, all of these people would lower their guard without exception.

As the saying goes, it's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Qian Kuo wasn't in a hurry. As long as this plan was completed, Lu Ming, the mayor's secretary, would become a tool under his control.

……

After leaving Qingwufang, Lu Ming received a call from Song Yiren on his way home.

"Chairman Song, is something the matter?"

"Busy?"

"not busy."

"If you're not busy, come over here, to the same teahouse as last time."

"it is good."

Lu Ming guessed that Song Yiren must have found out something.

Today, Song Yiren wore a pure black halter dress, her slender and radiant arms exposed, her fair skin glowing.

Her neckline was very low, revealing her slender collarbones and a full bust, making her incredibly attractive and impossible to look away from.

She sat quietly at the tea table, exuding intellectual elegance, a true beauty among women.

Seeing that Lu Ming was staring at her, Song Yiren frowned slightly.

Lu Ming naturally noticed the displeasure between her brows and said with a smile, "Chairwoman Song is so beautiful, I'm sure you have many suitors, right?"

Song Yiren glanced at Lu Ming indifferently and said coldly, "If you want to sleep with me, I advise you to give up on that idea."

Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Chairman Song, you're overthinking it. I simply admire you; I have no ulterior motives whatsoever."

Song Yiren chuckled lightly, clearly not believing the statement to be very credible.

She took out a document and threw it in front of Lu Ming, her red lips slightly parted as she said, "This is everything I've found out during this period of investigation."

Thank you.

Lu Ming opened the file and quickly browsed through it.

He had only read a few pages when his brows furrowed.

The document lists several companies, and none of the legal representatives or shareholders are Qian Kuo's name.

However, Song Yiren certainly wouldn't give him this information for no reason.

Lu Ming asked, "Are all these Qian Kuo's companies?"

Song Yiren nodded.

Lu Ming said, "But we can't tell anything from these documents alone."

Song Yiren said, "The fact that we can't see it only proves that there's something fishy going on."

Before Lu Ming could ask, she explained, "Qian Kuo is a businessman, not someone from a government agency."

"Under what circumstances would he have someone else hold shares in so many companies?"

Lu Ming immediately understood what Song Yiren was trying to say.

It's understandable that this guy isn't the legal representative, but it's really abnormal that he doesn't even hold shares.

The only explanation is that these companies all have serious problems!

Seeing that Lu Ming understood what Xing meant, Song Yiren continued, "There are three main ways for Qian Kuo to make money."

"The first method is through entertainment clubs, with Lanting Club being a prime example."

"However, these are mainly used to entertain guests and win over underlings."

"The second type is undertaking government projects, which are small-scale and just for show."

"His real way of making money is the third method: buying low and selling high!"

Lu Ming asked疑惑地问道:“What do you mean? Stock trading? Cryptocurrency trading?”

Song Yiren shook her head and explained, "The so-called 'buy low, sell high' is essentially the embezzlement of state-owned assets."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?"

Song Yiren said, "According to my investigation, in the past five years, he has bought four state-owned enterprises at low prices after restructuring, and then resold them at high prices to cash out huge sums of money."

Lu Ming gasped and said, "Could you explain in more detail?"

Song Yiren said, "We just need to pick a state-owned enterprise that we think is good and have someone assess it as having negative assets."

"For example, a state-owned enterprise may have an actual market value of 1 billion yuan, but if someone appraises it at 10 million yuan, then he can buy the company for only 10 million yuan."

"After getting his hands on Hongqi, he either dismantled it, sold the company's land, or sold it off as a package deal."

"In short, it's just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other, and you can easily make hundreds of millions, or even billions!"

Lu Ming had heard of this kind of tactic before, but this was the first time he had encountered it in real life.

Ultimately, the method itself isn't complicated; the difficulty lies in establishing connections between the various relationships within it.

It doesn't matter. Even if you have money for a phone, you won't get this kind of good deal.

However, if you have strong enough connections, even if you don't have any money, there are still many ways to get something for nothing.

Lu Ming finally understood why Qian Kuo would go to such lengths to bribe him.

Because enterprise restructuring and the sale of state-owned assets must be approved by the main leaders of the municipal government!
