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

"What's up?"

"What kind of tone and attitude is that? I'm your girlfriend, can't I contact you for no reason?"

girlfriend?

This woman really has the nerve to say those three words!

Liang Fei said angrily, "My uncle is coming to visit tonight. You should have a good talk with him then."

"I invited my uncle here specifically for you, so you must seize this opportunity."

For me?

Lu Ming sneered. This woman really knows how to spout nonsense!

How could he not know what Liang Fei was thinking? She was simply trying to create the illusion that Lu Ming still had hope through these actions!

Then make him willingly take out what Song Chuhe left behind.

Once Lu Ming actually hands over the item, I'll kick him aside.

These past few days, Liang Fei has been serving Lu Ming in different ways every day. After each major battle, she would subtly try to get information out of him.

However, Lu Ming was too tight-lipped, and she couldn't get a single word out of him.

Liang Fei knew that Lu Ming was wary of her because she had cheated on him.

So she came up with this trick.

As long as I take him to see my district chief uncle and have him make a promise, Lu Ming will definitely hand over what Song Chuhe left behind.

Little did she know, Lu Ming had already seen through her little scheme.

However, Lu Ming was too lazy to expose him; a free dinner was a free lunch.

Lu Ming feigned a touched expression and said, "Feifei, you're so good to me."

"Don't worry, I'll do my best tonight and I definitely won't let you down."

Seeing that Lu Ming had indeed taken the bait, Liang Fei said arrogantly, "Hmph, as long as you know in your heart that I'm good to you, then my efforts to invite my uncle over weren't in vain."

"By the way, Lu Ming, there's something else I feel I need to explain to you."

"What's wrong?"

"Well... the day you came back from the Discipline Inspection Commission, the reason I wasn't wearing underwear was because... I was secretly using an electronic toy..."

Lu Ming didn't expect Liang Fei to bring this up on her own initiative.

The reason he hadn't brought it up was because he didn't want to break things off with her too soon, but unexpectedly she took the initiative to explain.

Lu Ming knew that Liang Fei was explaining this at this time simply to make him relax his vigilance.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ming asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course!" Liang Fei seemed wronged, saying innocently, "I like you so much, how could I possibly cheat on you? Besides, my upbringing wouldn't allow me to do anything so disgraceful!"

Lu Ming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I believe you."

Liang Fei exclaimed excitedly, "I knew you would believe me! Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, do you feel much better?"

Lu Ming followed up on her words, saying, "I do feel much better. You don't know, I've been overthinking these past few days, and I was really afraid that you would break up with me... Now it seems that I was being petty."

"Lu Ming, do you really not believe in my feelings for you?!"

"I love you so much, how could I bear to break up with you?"

"Besides, you're so good in bed, I can't bear to let you serve someone else."

"Okay, that's all for now. Remember to come home early tonight, and we'll have dinner together at home."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming gave a mocking sneer.

This Liang Fei really thinks he's a fool, she can say such insincere things.

Ever since discovering Liang Fei's infidelity, Lu Ming has stopped treating her like a human being.

In his eyes, Liang Fei was nothing more than a tool for venting his frustrations.

No need to take responsibility, no need to feel bad, do whatever you want, do whatever makes you happy!

Lu Ming went home around 4 p.m.

When he got home, Liang Fei had not yet returned.

Just then, Su Ran suddenly called.

"Brother Lu Ming, are you free tonight?"

"Tonight won't work, I have a dinner appointment."

"Alright then." Su Ran's tone was somewhat disappointed, then she said, "By the way, Brother Lu, did you see the city government's announcement?"

"Announcement? What announcement?"

"It's the announcement about the new mayor of Songxi."

"What?"

Lu Ming's heart sank, and his expression changed drastically.

The new mayor was chosen so quickly?

But his plan hasn't been implemented yet!

Actually, it's not Lu Ming's fault; he had already thought of everything very carefully.

However, an unexpected incident occurred: the mayor of Songxi was chosen directly by the province!

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least one or two months to finalize the mayoral candidate, and sometimes as long as half a year.

But this time, it was ridiculously fast; the candidate was chosen in less than half a month.

"Who is it? Mayor Jiang or Secretary Qin?"

Neither of them are.

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Ming was taken aback again and asked, "Who is that?"

Looking at the entire Songxi City, besides these two, who else is qualified to serve as mayor?

Anyway, Lu Ming couldn't figure it out.

"The new mayor's name is Yu Wei."

"Yu Wei?"

Who is this?

Lu Ming served as Song Chuhe's secretary for three years and had a good impression of the leaders, big and small, of various bureaus and commissions in Songxi City.

But I can't remember which leader was named Yu Wei.

Su Ran noticed Lu Ming's surprise and explained, "This Mayor Yu was transferred from another province."

I see, no wonder I've never heard of it.

However, Lu Ming still couldn't quite understand it.

Within the system, there is an unwritten rule.

Of the two top leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, one must be promoted from the local area, while the other must be transferred from another location.

The current Party Secretary Lin was transferred from another region.

That's why Lu Ming was so certain that the new mayor would be chosen from either Mayor Jiang or Secretary Qin.

But who would have thought that this mayor would be transferred to another province!

Such an important matter must have been a decision made by the provincial leaders after careful consideration.

Why is that?

Lu Ming thought about it and seemed to have an answer.

The reason the province broke this unwritten rule was most likely because of Mayor Song's death!

A mayor was placed under investigation and was willing to die to prove his innocence; the provincial authorities must have seen through the problems involved.

The fact that no leader in Songxi City stepped forward to defend Song Chuhe during this incident demonstrates the severity of the city's problems.

In this situation, the provincial government will definitely have to take action to rectify the situation.

However, since the issue wasn't brought to the forefront, the provincial government couldn't directly intervene.

So, a mayor was transferred from another region.

This not only demonstrates the province's attitude but also carries a sense of suppression.

Lu Ming could think of this, and so could the old foxes in Songxi's officialdom.

I'm afraid those people are already panicking!

Although Lu Ming's plans were disrupted, he soon realized that this was also an opportunity.

He could easily pledge allegiance to the new mayor!
