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

"Hehe, Secretary Lu is really meticulous in his work."

"I think it would be better if Secretary Lu just told you the price."

Lu took out a cigarette, slowly sniffed it, and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for me to name a price?"

"If I set the price too high, Mr. Qian will think I'm asking for an exorbitant amount, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

"But if I set it too low, it seems like I'm not just going to take the risk."

Qian Kuo smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you can ask for the sky and then bargain on the ground. You don't have to be so sure of your price. You make your offer, I'll make mine, and we can always negotiate a price that satisfies both of us."

Lu Ming was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I want... three hundred million!"

Qian Kuo's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes twitched slightly a few times.

Han Jinlai's lips twitched. If Qian Kuo hadn't been there, he would have stood up and started cursing at Lu Ming.

Who do you think you are, spouting off three hundred million?

This state-owned enterprise has a market value of around 3 billion yuan, but that doesn't mean it can be sold for 3 billion yuan.

Based on previous experience, after a series of operations, the maximum amount you can get from a company with this market value is only a little over a billion.

After removing the top and bottom dots, you'd be lucky to have half left.

As a result, Lu Ming immediately offered 300 million.

That's incredibly audacious!

It's important to understand that these three hundred million yuan weren't given from the original billion-plus yuan, but rather from the last half that was left.

In other words, Lu Ming actually wanted to take half of the money directly.

Han Jinlai glanced at Qian Kuo; based on his understanding of the latter, there was absolutely no way he would agree.

Lu Ming lit a cigarette, then exhaled a heavy puff of smoke and continued, "Besides these three hundred million, I have a few more requests."

Han Jinlai found it hard to believe, feeling that Lu Ming's appetite was far too great. Three hundred million was not enough for him, and he even wanted to make additional demands.

Qian Kuo raised his chin slightly and said, "Secretary Lu, please speak."

Lu Ming glanced at Han Jinlai and said, "First, I want Tingting."

Han Jinlai felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

This guy is definitely deliberately disgusting himself!

Qian Kuo said calmly, "Anything else?"

Lu Ming said, "Secondly, help me get a green card from a foreign country."

"Is there anything else?"

"The third one isn't really a request, it's just that I want these three hundred million in cryptocurrency!"

"Is there anything else?"

"That's all."

Qian Kuo nodded, closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers lightly on the tea table.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and said, "I can agree to the green card and Tingting. As for the three hundred million, I need to discuss it with the others."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Chairman Qian's good news."

After saying that, Lu Ming glanced smugly at Han Jinlai, then left the private room with a smile.

As soon as he left, Han Jinlai, who was seething with anger, immediately started cursing.

"Chairman Qian, how can you tolerate this?"

"This kid clearly doesn't know who he is?"

"Who does he think he is? A lowly secretary, asking for three hundred million?"

Qian Kuo didn't speak, but just looked at Han Jinlai indifferently.

Han Jinlai was furious, but when Qian Kuo stared at him like that, he instantly lost his confidence.

He knew that Lu Ming had come today entirely because he hadn't mentioned any benefits to him that morning.

However, he felt that even if he spoke up, Lu Ming would still come and cause trouble.

This guy just wants to pull off one big heist and then run away!

"Mayor Han, I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

"Chairman Qian, I...forgot this morning."

Qian Kuo took a sip of tea and said, "Whether you forgot or did it on purpose, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is that you don't interfere with my business. As long as you don't interfere with my business, you can swindle money from whomever you want."

"However, now because of you, Lu Ming is making outrageous demands, asking for three hundred million right off the bat."

"I'm giving you three days to settle things with him."

"I don't care if you pay out of your own pocket to settle with him, or if you use some other method, I want to see the matter resolved in three days."

In front of Qian Kuo, Han Jinlai dared not act rashly and could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I will definitely resolve this within three days."

After leaving the private room, Han Jinlai prepared to leave.

As they passed a private room, they saw Yingying, who had been accompanying Lu Ming.

Han Jinlai looked up and his expression instantly changed.

Holy crap, isn't this my private room?

Han Jinlai's face was extremely grim as he asked, "Did Lu Ming go in?"

Yingying's expression was stiff, but she finally nodded.

Han Jinlai clenched his fists, wishing he could rush in immediately and teach Lu Ming a lesson.

But when he thought of what Qian Kuo had just said, he could only endure it like a helpless husband.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Han Jinlai felt his heart bleeding.

The thought of Tingting, who had been with him for several years, being brutally violated by Lu Ming made him feel like his head was turning green with envy.

Han Jinlai hurried away, afraid that he would hear Tingting's screams soon.

Once he arrived at the parking lot and calmed down, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Inside the private room, Lu Ming lay shirtless on the tatami mat.

Tingting, wearing a semi-transparent nightgown, was kneeling beside him, massaging him.

Her small hands were soft and smooth, and her pressure was just right, which Lu Ming enjoyed very much.

"Were you serving Mayor Han just now?"

Lu Ming closed his eyes and asked casually.

Tingting gave a soft "hmm".

"How old were you when you started dating him?"

"Ten deaths."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming felt that Han Jinlai was truly a beast.

How could someone do this to such a young girl!

Lu Ming now strongly suspects that Tingting was also imprisoned here in the first place.

If she were willing to come forward and identify Qian Kuo, that would undoubtedly be the best evidence against the victim.

I just don't know if she dares to.

Lu Ming continued, "How much does he pay you a month?"

"I'm paid a salary."

"So he's never given you any small gifts?"

"no."

Lu Ming sneered, "This old man is really stingy. How much is your monthly salary?"

"Five thousand."

Lu Ming's lips twitched violently.

With Tingting's looks, she could easily become a beauty streamer.

You don't have to do anything, just sit there and a big shot will shower you with gifts.

If you want to enjoy the fruits of others' labor even more, just find a rich tycoon to marry. Getting tens of thousands of yuan in pocket money every month is definitely not a problem.

But the result?

She spent her days sleeping with these powerful and wealthy people in Qingwufang, yet she only received five thousand yuan.

This is absolutely ridiculous!

Lu Ming is now almost certain that Tingting was absolutely coerced.

Here, she probably wouldn't even have personal freedom.

Lu Ming gave a nonchalant "hmm" and said calmly, "Five thousand is not a small amount."

Upon hearing this, Tingting's eyes dimmed considerably.

After massaging for about half an hour, Lu Ming sat up from the tatami and started putting on his shirt.

Tingting was puzzled. She had already prepared herself to serve Lu Ming, but she hadn't expected him to put on his clothes so readily.

Is this... because you think you're dirty?

Lu Ming finished dressing and walked out. He pushed open the door to the private room and saw Tingting still standing there. He said with displeasure, "What are you still standing there for? Come with me."

Tingting was confused, but she still obediently got up and followed.

After leaving the private room, Lu Ming led her towards the parking lot. Just as they reached the door after crossing the corridor, Tingting suddenly stopped, looking somewhat nervous, and asked, "Secretary Lu, where...where are you taking me?"

Lu Ming said, "You're mine now. I can take you wherever I want!"

Tingting hesitated, "But...but Sister Jing said we can't go out."

Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. Just as he had expected, the girls from Qingwufang could not be taken away.

Lu Ming feigned disdain and said, "What Sister Jing? Never heard of her. If I want to take you out, who dares to stop me?"

After saying that, he grabbed Tingting's wrist and continued walking towards the parking lot...
