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

"Sis, are those two outside your secretaries?"

Luo Shuixian leaned back in her chair, her beautiful legs crossed.

"Um."

Luo Shuixian then asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"Still under investigation."

"Who will help me with the onboarding process later?"

"Zhou Lin".

"That young lady? So you already have someone in mind?"

Yu Wei didn't say anything more, but simply handed her the car keys.

Luo Shuixian pouted: "Why are you keeping me in suspense? By the way, Uncle Hong's flight is tonight."

"it is good."

"Sis, is Songxi a mess?"

"It's a bit chaotic. You should be careful. When you're driving for me, people will definitely come into contact with you."

Luo Shuixian nodded.

Hong Shu is a former soldier who has led eight special forces units.

After retiring from the military, he refused the position offered by the army and instead became the housekeeper for the Yu family.

Of course, he was only nominally the butler; in reality, he held a very high position in the Yu family.

Yu Wei invited Uncle Hong over this time, clearly because Songxi was too chaotic and she wanted to have an extra layer of protection.

"When Uncle Hong arrives, have him investigate this person."

Yu Wei handed over Chairman Wang's business card.

Luo Shuixian took it, glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll go and complete the onboarding process."

Emerging from the office, Luo Shuixian greeted with a smile, "You must be Secretary Zhou?"

"it's me."

"Secretary Zhou, could you please take me to complete the onboarding procedures?"

Zhou Lin was taken aback: "Onboarding procedures?"

"Yes, we'll be colleagues from now on."

"Oh, okay, Miss Luo, please follow me."

Lu Ming watched the two figures leave, his brows furrowing slightly.

Was this woman invited by Yu Wei?

Is he also a candidate for secretary?

A short while later, Zhou Lin returned.

She had thought that when she returned, Lu Ming would be eager to ask her what position Luo Shuixian held.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming seemed completely uninterested and didn't seem inclined to ask any questions.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother Lu, guess what position Mayor Yu assigned to Luo Shuixian?"

"I can't guess."

Lu Ming thought that if he said that, Zhou Lin would feel embarrassed and stop talking.

To his surprise, she got up and came to his side, gently shaking his arm and saying in a coquettish tone, "Oh, just guess!"

If it were an ordinary person, they might mistakenly think that Zhou Lin had feelings for them, but Lu Ming immediately pulled his hand away and said seriously, "Xiao Zhou, don't fool around during work hours. It's not good if others see it."

"Okay!" Zhou Lin playfully stuck out her tongue and explained, "Brother Lu, I'm not usually like this, I just can't help wanting to get closer to you."

Lu Ming sneered inwardly, thinking that Zhou Lin was also a master of tea ceremony.

Seeing that Lu Ming wasn't buying it, Zhou Lin leaned closer and whispered, "Luo Shuixian is here to drive Mayor Yu."

"driver?"

"Yes, but she's just a contract worker, not a permanent employee, and she only makes three thousand a month."

Zhou Lin's words were full of disdain for Luo Shuixian.

That's how it is within the system: those with administrative positions look down on those with public institution positions, and those with public institution positions look down on contract workers.

If it were someone else, Zhou Lin probably wouldn't have shown it so obviously.

However, Luo Shuixian was so beautiful that Zhou Lin felt jealous, so she wanted to regain her sense of superiority through official appointments.

Lu Ming ignored her superior thoughts, but suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that Yu Wei's request for her to return the car keys wasn't because of what happened this morning.

However, what puzzled Lu Ming was that Luo Shuixian's temperament clearly indicated that she came from a wealthy family, so why would she be willing to drive for Yu Wei at the municipal government?

Lu Ming guessed that the two of them probably already knew each other.

Yu Wei is new to the area and has just been drugged, so she will definitely be very cautious in her personnel decisions.

After figuring everything out, Lu Ming glanced at Zhou Lin.

Although this woman has some shrewdness and cunning, she's just a novice.

She can't see through something this simple; she'll suffer for it later.

After completing the onboarding procedures, Luo Shuixian returned.

There were two tables in the office. Lu Ming and Zhou Lin sat in one row, so Luo Shuixian had to sit opposite them.

She wiped the table and chairs, then took out her phone and started playing with it.

After watching her play on her phone for more than half an hour, Zhou Lin couldn't stand it anymore and coughed lightly, saying, "Xiao Luo, play on your phone for a little longer."

When he said this, Lu Ming and Luo Shuixian were stunned.

No, you think you're a leader now?

How could he speak to the mayor's driver in such a commanding tone?

They seem to have forgotten who they are!

Luo Shuixian asked suspiciously, "Are you talking to me?"

Zhou Lin asked seriously, "Besides you, is there anyone else in this office with the surname Luo Yao?"

Luo Shuixian smiled and said, "Secretary Zhou, do you know what my job is?"

"He drives for the mayor."

Zhou Lin spoke with disdain, as if being the mayor's driver was a job that couldn't be done in public.

"That's settled then. I'm the driver, and my job is to drive for the mayor. As long as I drive safely, that's all that matters. Secretary Zhou, you don't need to worry about anything else."

Luo Shuixian's casual demeanor made Zhou Lin feel that her authority had been challenged.

"Xiao Luo, the mayor works inside. If she sees you playing on your phone here, what do you think she'll think of you?"

Luo Shuixian ignored her and continued playing on her phone.

This made Zhou Lin feel like she had punched cotton, and she was so angry that her back teeth were chattering.

Lu Ming was amused by Zhou Lin's antics. This woman was definitely a bit off; she hadn't even become a leader yet, and she had already learned to use someone else's authority.

If she's allowed to secure her position as secretary, she's definitely going to become a corrupt official!

Just before lunchtime, Zhou Lin rushed to the cafeteria to get food for Yu Wei, afraid that Lu Ming would get it first.

Lu Ming was speechless. He looked at Luo Shuixian and asked, "Miss Luo, have you gotten your meal card yet?"

"not yet."

"Then I'll treat you to a meal at the cafeteria, which will also be a good opportunity for you to get acquainted with the place."

"OK."

The two of them waited for the elevator together and instantly became the center of attention.

Luo Shuixian's figure and appearance would be stunning anywhere she went.

She seemed completely accustomed to the attention she received and showed no signs of discomfort.

After getting their food, the two chose an empty table to eat together.

Not far away, Li Ping and Zhou Lin sat together. Li Ping asked, "Xiao Zhou, who is that woman?"

Zhou Lin replied indifferently, "Her? She's a contract worker, here to drive for Mayor Yu."

"What? She's Mayor Yu's driver?"

Li Ping was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.

Why would they hire such a beautiful woman as their driver?

This is ridiculous!

What a waste!

As if she had found an outlet for her anger, Zhou Lin blurted out, "This little driver has absolutely no manners."

"He just sits in his chair playing on his phone during work hours. I think he'll be fired by the mayor sooner or later."

Li Ping, a seasoned veteran of the system, sensed Zhou Lin's jealousy towards Luo Shuixian and went along with her words: "Playing on your phone at work is inappropriate. Didn't you say anything to her?"

"Why didn't you say so? I kindly reminded you, but you didn't appreciate it at all and even thought I was deliberately targeting you."

Li Ping said, "Don't bother with her. This kind of woman is just a pretty face, all talk and no action."

"After all, not everyone is like you, Xiao Zhou, who possesses both beauty and intelligence."

A few kind words instantly brightened Zhou Lin's expression.

She glanced around and noticed many people secretly admiring Luo Shuixian's stunning beauty. She said irritably, "What's the use of being pretty if you don't have connections? You'll only ever be a contract worker!"

Li Ping chuckled and agreed, but in his heart, he had his own little scheme...
