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

The new mayor is new to Songxi City and unfamiliar with the place. He certainly wouldn't trust the driver and secretary arranged by others.

As for himself, he is now in the Songxi officialdom, and no one dares to use him; they all avoid him like the plague.

In addition, he has a clean record, no connection with Songxi's leaders, and is extremely familiar with the officialdom of Shenzhen, making him the perfect candidate for secretary.

However, all of this is predicated on the new mayor not being afraid of offending other leaders.

Otherwise, even if it is the most suitable, it will be of no use.

However, whether it succeeds or not, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should always give it a try.

"By the way, when will this new mayor take office?"

"It should be soon, it's still in the public announcement period."

"Okay, I understand..." Lu Ming heard the door open and knew Liang Fei was back. He said, "I have to go now. I have something to do. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming came out of the bedroom.

Liang Fei kicked off her leather shoes, walked barefoot into the room, and said, "I'm going to change my clothes, wait for me a moment."

A short while later, Liang Fei came out of the bedroom.

She changed into a Chanel-style dress and said to Lu Ming, "Let's go."

The two walked downstairs hand in hand, looking very sweet.

Soon, the two drove to an upscale residential area.

Liang Fei unlocked the door with her fingerprint and immediately heard lively conversation coming from the living room.

"Mom, I'm home!"

Liang Fei called out, and several middle-aged people and young people in the living room all looked over.

The atmosphere became subtle when they saw Lu Ming standing next to Liang Fei.

The crowd's eyes held a mix of mockery, amusement, and schadenfreude.

Ignoring the strange looks, Lu Ming followed Liang Fei over and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Then he looked at the middle-aged man next to Liang Fei's father: "Second Uncle, hello."

Liang Qunfeng, Liang Fei's second uncle, is the head of Xinhua District.

Lu Ming used to address Liang Fei in this way.

But today, after Lu Ming's philandering ended, a young man on the sofa said sarcastically, "Hey, hey, hey, how dare you call me 'Second Uncle'? You're not even married to my cousin yet!"

Another young man chimed in, "Exactly, it's not even close to happening yet, so don't make wild guesses."

Someone else said, "Lu Ming, Song Chuhe is dead, your good days are over. If you're a man, leave my cousin and don't ruin her bright future."

Several young people mocked Lu Ming's current situation, one after another.

Lu Ming squinted at Liang Fei's cousins ​​on the sofa.

When Song Chuhe was still alive, the others would call him "Brother Lu Ming" this and "Brother Lu Ming" that whenever they saw him.

Song Chuhe has only been dead for less than half a month, and this is already his true colors.

Even if Song Chuhe is dead and he loses his backer, he is still Liang Fei's boyfriend on the surface.

But they directly told him not to delay Liang Fei.

Moreover, he said such things in front of the elders of the Liang family.

Moreover, none of the elders in the Liang family stepped forward to stop it.

Haha, the Liang family is really all the same.

Ironically, before coming here, Lu Ming actually held a sliver of hope for Liang Fei's parents.

Because they had indeed been very good to Lu Ming before.

But now, I'm completely disappointed!

Fortunately, he didn't care anymore.

Liang Fei's second uncle, Liang Qunfeng, glanced at Lu Ming and casually said, "Little Lu is here."

Then she ignored him completely.

Lu Ming stood in front of the coffee table, unsure whether to sit or stand, appearing extremely awkward to others.

However, Lu Ming didn't care at all. He simply pulled over a chair and sat down casually.

Then he took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and started smoking happily without any intention of letting the smoke dissipate.

Seeing his rudeness, the Liang family members all frowned in unison.

One of Liang Fei's cousins ​​sneered, "You ill-mannered brat! What kind of upbringing did your elders give you? You can't even bring something when you visit someone's home?"

Upon hearing this, Liang straightened his face and scolded, "Alright, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"

She wasn't genuinely protecting Lu Ming; rather, she was worried that her relatives were going too far and would drive Lu Ming away.

Lu Ming smoked two cigarettes in a row, and apart from exchanging a few words with Liang Fei, he ignored everyone else.

Soon, Liang Fei's mother stood up and greeted everyone, "The food is ready, let's eat."

The Liang family restaurant and dining tables are very large, and even when more than ten people sit together, it doesn't feel crowded at all.

After the nanny brought the food to the table, she also brought over a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Although this was Liang Fei's home turf and Liang Qunfeng was just an invited guest, everyone treated him with the utmost respect because of his position as district head. No one dared to touch their chopsticks until he did.

At the dinner table, Liang Qunfeng looked at Lu Ming and suddenly said, "Little Lu, Feifei has told me about your matter."

"Mayor Song's death has had a great impact on you. If anyone else had ended up in this situation, I naturally wouldn't have asked a single question. But you are Feifei's boyfriend after all, and Feifei has told me about it several times. So, I will definitely help you if I can."

Then, Liang Qunfeng grabbed a glass of baijiu, poured it to the brim, and said, "Come on, drink this glass of wine, and let's have a good chat."

The Liang family members immediately revealed a mocking expression, watching Lu Ming with amusement as if watching a show.

All the talk about helping Lu Ming was just an excuse; they were just deliberately teasing him.

The younger generation of the Liang family knew these people, and Lu Ming naturally knew them too.

He pretended to be embarrassed: "Second Uncle, it's really unfortunate. Mo caught a cold today and took medicine. The doctor said he can't drink alcohol."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Liang Fei's cousin slammed his hand on the table and jumped up.

"Damn it, you really think you're so great?"

"My second uncle poured the wine himself; do you know how many people begged to drink it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. Don't spoil my second uncle's fun!"

Liang Qunfeng remained silent, simply watching Lu Ming quietly.

Liang Fei kept nudging Lu Ming's arm and whispered reproachfully, "Lu Ming, drink it quickly, don't make your second uncle angry."

However, no matter what they said, Lu showed no intention of drinking.

At this moment, Liang Fei's father frowned and scolded, "Xiao Lu, drink it right now!"

Liang Fei's mother also said, "Xiao Lu, you're such an inconsiderate child. Do you know that your second uncle came here today specifically because of you?"

Seeing that Lu Ming remained unmoved, Liang Qunfeng waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop trying to persuade him."

Then, staring into Lu Ming's eyes, he said, word by word, "Little Lu, you don't have to drink this wine, but there are some things I need to make clear to you."

Lu Ming wanted to see what this guy had to say to him, so he said, "Second Uncle, please speak."

Liang Qunfeng, in a pretentious manner, picked up a piece of food, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then slowly said, "The things Song Chuhe left behind, are they with you?"
