Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Dilraba's perfume is very strong, but it can't mask the stench of conspiracy in the room.

Qi Tongwei knew in his heart that this was Qin Feiyue testing him.

This is also his first direct confrontation with corruption after his rebirth.

Although he felt that Qin Feiyue's methods were old-fashioned, consisting of nothing but money and women, and lacked originality.

But he also had to admit that these methods, though old-fashioned, were indeed effective.

One trick is all you need to succeed.

The simplest things—money and beauty—are precisely what strike a nerve with countless people.

Past lives and present lives, it never fails.

For a moment, he was even tempted to cooperate with Qin Feiyue.

But he forcibly suppressed the thought as soon as it popped into his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat or is afraid to eat.

Rather, he knew that some things, if eaten, would upset his stomach.

He knew the methods of people like Zhao Ruilong from his previous life.

Du Bozhong and Zhao Ruilong's most skilled tactic was to "raise skinny horses" at the Shanshui Manor.

These "skinny horses" not only need to be beautiful, but also need to know how to please the men.

Gao Yuliang is the most typical example.

Even someone as self-righteous and idealistic as him fell for Gao Xiaofeng's tricks.

Qi Tongwei knew very well that if he dared to eat or reach out to anyone tonight...

Tomorrow, his short film will be watched and commented on repeatedly by many people.

He didn't want to repeat the mistakes he made in his past life.

The soothing music gradually faded away, and the slow waltz came to an end.

Qi Tongwei released Dilraba and smiled, nodding in thanks.

He was about to return to his seat when Dilraba grabbed him.

Dilraba blinked her big, watery eyes, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.

"You danced really well, dance another one with me."

Her voice was soft and trembling slightly.

The hot breath exhaled from his mouth sprayed on Qi Tongwei's face, making it a little itchy.

The itch seeped from his face into his heart, sending a shiver down Qi Tongwei's spine.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to himself, "I'll jump one more time and then find a chance to leave."

Having made up his mind, Qi Tongwei smiled at Dilraba and nodded.

The melodious music started again; it was a familiar old song.

"The radio at midnight kept playing that song on repeat..."

As the two moved, some physical contact inevitably occurred.

Even through the thin fabric, Qi Tongwei could feel Dilraba's perky and elastic breasts.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Professionals really are different..."

He even started fantasizing about what it would feel like if something happened between them...

Just as he was lost in thought, Dilraba's voice rang in his ears again.

Her voice was still very pleasant, but it had gained a touch of allure and became somewhat seductive.

"Boss Qi, what's down there?"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, and subconsciously stuck his butt out a little, creating some distance between them.

He paused for a moment, coughed lightly, and replied.

"I have a manager below me."

Dilraba was taken aback for a moment, then let out a burst of silvery laughter.

She tightened her grip on Qi Tongwei's waist slightly and breathed softly into his ear.

"The position isn't high-ranking, but it's quite prestigious..."

Qi Tongwei gave an awkward laugh and didn't continue the conversation.

He couldn't help but feel a bit more wary; this woman was really good at flirting, a vixen.

As the second piece drew to a close, Qi Tongwei, though occasionally making small movements, remained well-behaved.

Dilraba was surprised, but she also started to feel a little anxious.

At first, she was unwilling to come when Qin Feiyue approached her.

Although she already knew that her fellow members of the group were entertaining some important figures.

Some people even got transferred to better units and benefited a lot because of this, but she could never let go.

She grew up in an arts school and studied dance for ten years. Her biggest dream was to get into a middle school arts college.

She wanted to study in the capital city, and to dance gracefully on a bigger stage...

But Qin Feiyue gave too much this time, asking for 10,000 yuan right off the bat.

Qin Feiyue also promised that if he could win over Qi Tongwei, he would give him an additional 10,000 yuan.

Twenty thousand yuan—that's almost twenty years' worth of her salary!

She repeatedly tried to persuade herself in her heart.

I'll only earn 10,000 yuan, and I'll just have meals and dance with people. I won't do anything else.

With this money, she can attend the entrance exam preparation courses for Zhongyi and apply to Zhongyi...

After much deliberation, she compromised and gave money.

But when she saw Qi Tongwei, her feelings changed.

The man was younger and more handsome than she had imagined...

The way he looked at me was different; it was as if he were admiring me, not looking at prey...

She suddenly realized that if the object of her affections was him, earning 20,000 yuan wouldn't be out of the question.

But now, as the second piece is about to end and Qi Tongwei still hasn't made a move, she's starting to get anxious.

She began to tighten her grip, pressing her body even closer to him, almost melting into his embrace.

In an attempt to soothe Qi Tongwei's tense nerves, Dilraba's dance steps became a little erratic...

Finally, amidst the subtle friction, Qi Tongwei's breathing began to become heavy.

Dilraba's lips unconsciously curled up, and she felt secretly pleased with herself.

"Men are all the same, not a single one of them is good..."

When the song ended, she held onto Qi Tongwei tightly.

She waited for his next move, already prepared to be carried into the inner room.

Unexpectedly, Qi Tongwei took a step back and smiled at her.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Dilraba was taken aback, then nodded subconsciously.

She watched Qi Tongwei's retreating figure, secretly amused, "He probably couldn't take it anymore..."

The smile on Qi Tongwei's face vanished the moment he turned around.

He realized that, without him noticing, only he and Dilraba were left in the room.

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, a hint of doubt beginning to creep into his mind.

Just how close are Li Sulin and Qin Feiyue...?

Did Li Sulin know about tonight's arrangements...?

Qi Tongwei thought to himself, but his steps did not stop.

He walked straight out of the courtyard and opened the door of the Santana.

"Back to the county guesthouse..."

"County Chief Qi, aren't you waiting for Director Li?"

The driver, Xiao Li, started the car and asked in a low voice.

Qi Tongwei lit a cigarette and exhaled softly.

"Let's go. We don't need to wait for him..."

Inside the room, the neon lights on the ceiling were still spinning.

Dilraba waited for a long time, but Qi Tongwei never showed up.

She couldn't understand why going to the restroom took so long. Could there be something wrong with her in that area?

Just as she was lost in thought, the door was pushed open and Qin Feiyue walked in.

He glanced at Dilraba, snorted, and spoke.

"What are you all standing there for? They've already run away!"

"Didn't I tell you? You're to stay by my side at all times..."

Dilraba suddenly stood up and immediately realized that Qi Tongwei had stood her up.

She's a pillar of the station, and yet she got stood up by some country bumpkin boss!

Dilraba stood there with her mouth agape, not quite coming to her senses for a long time.

She suddenly became curious about Qi Tongwei; he had clearly reacted, so why was he still leaving...?

---------------

The drop in volume is too drastic. Do you all still want to see the Handong Line?

Don't worry, everyone. After the first patrol, we'll start intersecting with the Handong Line.
