Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Zhao Jipeng was fascinated by the scene there.

The Imperial Palace is considered the best private room in Fengzeyuan, and it was reserved specifically for Li Jianjun.

It was used for Li Jianjun's meals on a regular basis, and the rest was used to entertain guests.

Originally, Li Jianjun didn't think much of Zhao Jipeng, but the Xu sisters wanted a good start, and Luan Xiaoling also wanted to test the effectiveness of the Imperial Palace, so the location was arranged here.

Official titles were not used at the banquet, as it was too sensitive. The arrangements were extremely meticulous to ensure the guests' comfort.

Of course, the only word to describe the furnishings here is "luxurious".

An old saying goes that officials travel thousands of miles for wealth. As Zhao Jipeng's status has risen over the years, he is no longer someone who can be satisfied with just a pound of liquor and two pounds of good meat.

Stepping into this place today, he felt as if he were in a dream.

All the time spent in the past has been wasted; this kind of enjoyment is what truly makes life worthwhile.

Lin Keqing stepped forward at the opportune moment and introduced the situation in a soft voice.

Zhao Jipeng returned to his role, coughed lightly, and took his seat.

Li Jianjun remained calm and composed, and there was no need to discuss any official business during the banquet.

Xu Jingli first offered incense and then wine.

After going through the whole process, Zhao Jipeng was in high spirits, his eyes shining and his cheeks flushed.

Lin Keqing would always interject at appropriate times, mentioning Li Jianjun's identity and actions.

Li Jianjun wasn't in a hurry, but Zhao Jipeng was getting restless.

Several times, he brought up the land issue, but Li Jianjun always changed the subject.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Jianjun and Lin Keqing left separately and exited the Imperial Palace.

"Jianjun, are they reliable?"

Lin Keqing looked anxious and asked Li Jianjun as soon as she left the palace.

"Don't worry, I completely trust them. There's nothing they can't do."

Li Jianjun nodded, the images of the two women always appearing in his mind.

"Lin Keqing, would you like to take the next step?"

Li Jianjun looked at Lin Keqing and began to ask her questions.

"Jianjun, what do you mean by that?"

"Of course, everyone wants to be able to move up to the next level."

"But this is difficult. I'm a woman, and I don't have any powerful connections."

Lin Keqing shook her head slightly and let out a long sigh.

"Don't worry, this is the opportunity."

“I paid for the road, and your stepping stone is this Zhao Jipeng.”

Li Jianjun's words made Lin Keqing's eyes widen.

"Jianjun, are you serious?"

"But don't do anything reckless. Although Zhao Jipeng also comes from humble beginnings, he has accumulated a lot of connections over the years. He's not someone to be trifled with."

Lin Keqing shook her head slightly as she finished speaking.

Having worked in the land department for so many years, I know all too well the cutthroat world of officialdom.

With his current status and position, Zhao Jipeng can easily get away with even minor mistakes.

No matter how capable Li Jianjun is, compared to these people, he can only be considered a nobody, how could he be a match for them?

"You don't need to worry about these things anymore."

"I just want to ask you if you'd like to take the next step, if you'd like to be the head of your current department?"

Li Jianjun looked at Lin Keqing and smiled slightly again.

"Yes, of course I want to, but..."

Lin Keqing responded, her face still showing concern as she spoke.

"There are no 'buts'. Just do it the way it should be done."

"In short, I hope you can be an asset to me."

"So, are you ready to agree now?"

Li Jianjun smiled slightly and looked at Lin Keqing.

"it is good."

Lin Keqing looked at Li Jianjun and finally nodded vigorously, agreeing to the matter.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need for further excuses.

After an hour, the Xu Jingru and Xu Jingli sisters finally emerged from the Imperial Palace.

"Are you all alright? Where's Zhao Jipeng? Why didn't he come out?"

Upon seeing the twin sisters, Lin Keqing immediately went to greet them, her face full of worry.

Of course, she was worried that Xu Jingru and Xu Jingli would be hurt, and she was also worried that something might happen to Zhao Jipeng and that he might take his anger out on Li Jianjun, which would make things even more difficult.

"Don't worry, Sister Keqing, we sisters won't make mistakes, and we certainly won't suffer any losses."

Xu Jingru looked at Zhao Jipeng, and as she spoke, she turned her gaze to Li Jianjun.

"Mr. Li, I have successfully completed the mission and resolved the issue."

"I never expected that this person, who appeared so virtuous, was actually a complete hypocrite."

"We have already figured out everything about him."

"Now, with the help of my aunt's actions, the problem will be completely solved."

Li Jianjun nodded repeatedly at Xu Jingru's words.

Chapter 411 A silver tongue? Let's give it a try.

Zhao Jipeng passed out drunk in the Imperial Palace, and Li Jianjun arranged for someone to take him home.

From that day on, Lin Keqing never saw Zhao Jipeng again.

A week later, Zhao Jipeng was transferred away by a transfer order. Although it was a lateral transfer, Lin Keqing, who was well-versed in such matters, knew exactly what was going on.

This means that Zhao Jipeng's official career has come to an end.

This lateral transfer is just the beginning. Once more problems are discovered, he will be sidelined or even dismissed.

When Zhao Jipeng was transferred, no new leader was appointed. Instead, Lin Keqing was put in charge of the department.

A week later, the higher authorities issued another document.

Lin Keqing's temporary supervision period will be extended for three months. After three months, her performance will be considered for permanent appointment.

"Li Jianjun, is this the work of yours?"

In Li Jianjun's office at Jianjun Real Estate Company, Lin Keqing stood in front of Li Jianjun with a beaming smile.

Lin Keqing dressed up specially today, adding a touch of purity and gentleness to her mature beauty, and subtly enhancing her allure, making her even more captivating.

"Actually, I just moved my lips."

Li Jianjun put down the documents in his hand, looked at Lin Keqing, sized her up for a moment, and then smiled and answered.

"Oh, I thought only I could talk, I didn't expect you could talk too."

Lin Keqing chuckled and looked at Li Jianjun with a mischievous grin.

"I think you really want to use your words!"

Li Jianjun glared at Lin Keqing and spoke again.

As expected, mature women are not to be trifled with; when they get into a rogue state, they are more rogue than anyone else.

"Sure, of course, but before you expect me to say anything, shouldn't you at least let me know what you did to make me benefit from this?"

"This way, I'll put more effort and care into what I say."

"The same logic applies to you, and you will be even more satisfied."

As Lin Keqing spoke, she stepped forward and placed her hand on Li Jianjun's shoulder.

It was originally just a soft, boneless little hand, but when it landed on Li Jianjun's shoulder, it clearly made Li Jianjun feel as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on him, and his body trembled slightly.

"It's actually very simple. The aunt of Xu Jingru and Xu Jingli is an overseas Chinese and an expert. She is preparing to return to China."

"I contacted them through them, and then sent letters to the relevant departments on the grounds that they were investigating the business environment and the suitable environment for certain industries in China."

"By using some connections and investigating the places where Zhao Jipeng used to work, we can find out all his past experiences."

"In this way, dealing with and responding to merits and demerits becomes extremely easy."

Looking into Lin Keqing's watery eyes, Li Jianjun quickly spoke up and briefly recounted what he had done.

“I understand all of that, but what I really want to know is what happened between the Xu Jingru and Xu Jingli sisters in the private room.”

"You wouldn't expect them to make sacrifices, would you?"

Lin Keqing sat down on Li Jianjun's lap, smiled slightly, looked at Li Jianjun, and spoke.

"As for you, I actually quite enjoy using my words!"

As she spoke, she blew a breath toward Li Jianjun, her lips moving slightly.

As the voice spoke, Lin Keqing's body stirred again, swaying slightly on Li Jianjun's lap.

A wave of pressure washed over him, and Li Jianjun nearly released Lin Keqing.

“I, Li Jianjun, have said that no matter what, I will never make the women around me sacrifice themselves.”

"The most important thing about this matter is the sisters' abilities."
