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

The dining table fell silent immediately.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming remained calm and shook his head, saying, "Mayor Song didn't leave anything behind."

Liang Qunfeng chuckled, glanced at Lu Ming sideways, and said, "Little Lu, you usually seem quite clever, so why can't you see the situation clearly at this crucial moment?"

"You probably don't realize how much Song Chuhe's death has affected you, do you?"

"Go and find out, who in the entire Songxi area dares to hire you right now?"

"If it weren't for Fei Fei, you wouldn't even be qualified to sit at this table!"

"The most important thing in life is not to be ungrateful!"

"Feifei begged me to help you, and I can help, but only if you demonstrate your value first."

"Give me what Song Chuhe left behind, and I'll help you get a lucrative job in the district government."

Liang Qunfeng directly asked for it, which was tantamount to making his intentions clear.

The implication is also quite clear.

If you don't give me this, you'll be offending me!

After hearing his words, Lu Ming repeated his previous statement: "Mayor Song left nothing behind."

Seeing that Lu Ming was so unyielding, Liang Qunfeng's face darkened, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"You ungrateful wretch! Today, you either give me what you want, or you break up with Feifei. You choose!"

Lu Ming glanced calmly at Liang Fei beside him. Liang Fei urged, "Lu Ming, look how angry you've made your second uncle! Hurry up and give the things to him!"

Lu Ming retorted, "If I can't produce it, are you going to break up with me?"

Liang Fei instinctively wanted to say yes, but then she thought that the item was still in his hands, and if she really pushed him too far, she would never get it back.

So she suppressed her anger and said patiently, "Lu Ming, what time is it? Stop throwing a tantrum."

"Keeping Mayor Song's things here will only cause you trouble. You should hurry up and give them to your second uncle so he can help you deal with them. Isn't that the best of both worlds? Why can't you understand that..."

Lu Ming interrupted her and asked again, "I'm asking you, if I can't come up with the money, are you going to break up with me?"

Liang Fei's patience had reached its limit. Looking at Lu Ming with exasperation, she firmly said, "Yes!"

"I, Liang Fei, would never be with someone who has no future!"

Lu Ming chuckled, looked at Liang Qunfeng's gloomy face, and said, "I'll say it again: Mayor Song left nothing behind."

"Lu Ming, you..."

Before Liang Qunfeng could finish speaking, Lu Ming stood up and interrupted him.

"Since we've broken up, I won't eat this meal."

"Liang Fei, you have three days to move your things out of my house."

After saying that, Lu Ming turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Liang Fei was stunned. She simply couldn't believe that Lu Ming, even in his current state, still had such guts.

By the time she came to her senses and chased after him, Lu Ming had already taken the elevator down.

"That bastard!"

Liang Fei stomped her feet in anger. She thought she had the upper hand tonight, but she didn't expect Lu Ming to be so clueless!

Initially, Liang Fei planned to trick Zhu Chaoyang into giving her the items.

But then she thought about it and realized that if what Mayor Song left behind was inside information about officialdom, it would definitely be of great use to Liang Qunfeng.

If used properly, Uncle Er might be able to advance even further, and then they too could rise to prominence.

That's why she arranged today's dinner party.

When she returned to the restaurant, a table full of people were berating Lu Ming for being ungrateful.

"This kid thinks he's the mayor's secretary?"

"Exactly, they should take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror to see what kind of state they're in now!"

"Second Uncle, if you ask me, just transfer him to the countryside to watch over the reservoir. He'll behave himself then and will definitely hand him over without hesitation."

Liang Fei sat down, looked at Liang Qunfeng, and asked, "Second Uncle, what should we do now?"

Liang Qunfeng snorted and said, "Go and coax him. If you can stand firmly by his side at this time, he will definitely be very moved and you will definitely gain his trust."

Liang Fei's mind was in turmoil, and she was also somewhat unwilling.

What do you mean by coaxing him? Saying nice things is just making her a lapdog.

But for what Mayor Song left behind, even if he was unwilling, he had to go against his will.

……

After leaving the Liang family, Lu Ming didn't go home. Instead, he found a barbecue stall and happily ate by himself.

Liang Fei kept calling during this time, but Lu Ming ignored her completely.

He originally wanted to continue being Liang Fei's boyfriend.

But tonight Liang Qunfeng is pressuring him: either hand over the items or break up.

Since the Liang family isn't going to put on any more show, he might as well just flip the table.

Forget all the plans and plans, get the hell out of here!

I have a new plan!

As long as I can get on the new mayor's good side, I'll still be that obsequious mayor's secretary!

Lu Ming was already looking forward to seeing how the Liang family would react to his mockery today once he returned to his position as the mayor's secretary.

Hmph, it must be quite exciting.

Lu Ming finished his beer in one gulp, then got up, paid the bill, and left.

He still didn't go home, and instead booked a room at a nearby hotel.

I was lying in bed when I saw a notification from my phone's monitoring app that someone had moved.

He then clicked on it and saw that the light was on.

That woman went back again?

Wait, why are there so many clothes on the sofa in the living room?

There are men's too?

Lu Ming immediately guessed what was going on and hurriedly checked the bedroom camera.

When Lu Ming turned on the camera, he saw Liang Fei and a man having a vigorous sexual encounter.

Lu Ming took a closer look and realized that the man was Zhu Chaoyang.

Lu Ming chuckled.

He has been waiting ever since the camera was installed.

However, Liang Fei seemed to be very well-behaved during this period in order to regain his trust, and she did not bring Zhu Chaoyang home.

I never expected this, but I finally couldn't hold back today.

Lu Ming had nothing better to do, and originally planned to enjoy it properly.

But to my surprise, Zhu Chaoyang was really useless, finishing in just two and a half minutes.

Lu Ming cursed "trash," saved the video, and then went to sleep.

He had only been lying down for a minute when Lu Ming suddenly got up and picked up his phone again.

He still doesn't know the identity or appearance of the new mayor.

He wanted to pledge allegiance to the new mayor, so naturally he had to make some preparations beforehand.

He quickly found the latest formula on the city government's official website.

Name: Yu Wei.

Gender: Female.

Age: 28.

Wait, 28?

Lu Ming rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

No, he's so young to be mayor?

Then, Lu Ming looked at the photo next to him.

Being young is one thing, but being this beautiful is another.

She has almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, an oval face, a straight and delicate nose, full red lips, and short hair, which makes her look very capable.

It's clearly just an ID photo, but it looks like an artistic portrait.

The last woman Lu Ming had ever seen this beautiful was an undercover agent named Song Yiren.

After memorizing Yu Wei's appearance, Lu Ming made a decision.

"Let's wait and see at the city hall tomorrow!"
