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

After the two went inside, Lu Ming followed them in.

He chose a table that was separated from Zhou Lin and the others by a screen and sat down.

A dozen minutes later, Luo Shuixian arrived.

After get off work, she changed her clothes, no longer wearing trousers and a shirt, but a blue halter dress that showed off her figure.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down her back and over her collarbone, and beneath her skirt, her two straight and slender legs gleamed alluringly.

As Luo Shuixian approached from afar, Li Ping felt his breathing quicken considerably.

So moisturizing!

This woman is so hot, I have to win her over!

Zhou Lin felt very jealous when she saw Li Ping's lecherous behavior, but she had to suppress it.

Right now, she still needs Li Ping to help her secure her position as secretary!

"Oh? Director Li, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Luo Shuixian sat down, she asked curiously.

Before Zhou Lin could explain, Li Ping asked first, "Miss Luo, do you want to be promoted to a permanent position?"

"Becoming a permanent employee? What do you mean? Didn't I already sign a contract?"

Luo Shuixian looked like she didn't understand.

Li Ping, with a smug look on his face, said, "I'm talking about official positions."

"You're just a contract worker now, you can be fired at any time."

"But having a permanent position is different; it's like having an iron rice bowl."

Luo Shuixian exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly understanding, then deliberately smoothed her hair, bit her lip, and said, "Of course I want to, but contract workers can't be transferred to permanent positions, right? Does Director Li have a way?"

Hearing her ask that question, Li Ping knew that things were going well.

If you're interested in a government-affiliated position, then things are much easier!

Effortless control!

Li Ping called over a waiter and said, "Let's serve the food, and another bottle of red wine."

Li Ping poured the wine for Luo Shuixian himself, and just as he held the glass in front of her, Luo Shuixian said, "I drove here, so I won't drink."

Zhou Lin frowned and said, "Xiao Luo, Director Li takes good care of you."

The implication is self-evident.

If you want a permanent position, then you have to obey orders.

Luo Shuixian feigned reluctance and said, "Then... I'll just drink a little less."

At the dinner table, Li Ping boasted extensively about how extensive his connections and how strong his relationships were in Songxi.

Luo Shuixian was quite cooperative, and every time he finished speaking, she would show a surprised expression and exclaim "Wow!" which greatly satisfied Li Ping's vanity.

After they had eaten enough, Li Ping said, "Our secretariat has an internal quota every year."

"These spots are reserved for the children of leaders; ordinary people have no chance at all."

Luo Shuixian looked disappointed: "Ah? Does that mean I have no chance?"

Li Ping chuckled smugly, "If it were an ordinary person, they naturally wouldn't be able to handle it."

"But don't forget, I'm in charge of the secretariat. It'll be a little difficult to free up a spot, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Luo Shuixian exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Does that mean it will cost a lot of money to bribe officials?"

Li Ping nodded: "Of course we need to make some arrangements, after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But with me here, then..."

Li Ping suddenly stopped talking, raised his wrist to check his watch, and said, "How about this, we'll go somewhere else later. I'll invite Director Wang out and we'll have a chat. You, you should prepare a red envelope."

Luo Shuixian asked, "How much should we prepare?"

Li Ping replied, "Not too much, fifty thousand will be about right."

Luo Shuixian asked doubtfully, "Fifty thousand? Is that enough? I heard that even a government position is worth a lot of money."

Li Ping said, "Hehe, Xiao Luo, you don't understand. For those people who are not related, even if it were 500,000, Director Wang wouldn't accept it."

"But I'm here as the middleman. As long as Director Wang knows you're one of my people, he naturally won't make things difficult for you."

"Of course, 50,000 yuan is not a small amount. If you can't come up with it, that's okay. I'll pay for it for you in a bit."

Li Ping had already decided that he would take Luo Shuixian directly to the hotel later.

We'll pretend to wait for Director Wang, and after two or three hours, we'll say that Director Wang isn't coming.

When the time comes, we'll threaten her with her job security; will she still not comply?

Thinking of this, Li Ping felt a surge of excitement.

Those slender, snow-white collarbones, those full, proud breasts—I could play with them as I pleased in a moment.

At the next table, Lu Ming overheard the entire conversation.

That bastard, he was definitely up to no good.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go."

"I want to see Director Wang as soon as possible so I can go back and rest earlier."

After paying the bill, Li Ping led the two women out.

Lu Ming followed behind, took out his phone and sent a message to Luo Shuixian.

Although this girl is smart, she's probably no match for Li Ping, a seasoned veteran. It's best to give her a heads-up.

In the parking lot, Li Ping pressed the car key.

Buzz!

The headlights of the black BMW X5 flashed.

Zhou Lin asked in surprise, "Director Li, is this your car?"

Li Ping started showing off again: "Yes, it's one of my many cars, but I rarely drive it."

"After all, they are public officials; it's never good to be too high-profile."

"Xiao Zhou, you should do a good job as the mayor's secretary. In less than two years, you'll be living in a mansion and driving a luxury car."

Then he looked at Luo Shuixian and said, "Little Luo, don't be envious. I have high hopes for you too."

"As long as you work hard with me, you're sure to have a bright future."

"Alright, let's get in the car."

Just as Li Ping was about to lift his leg, Luo Shuixian said with a smile, "Never mind, Director Li, you go ahead. I have other things to do, so I won't go."

After saying that, Luo Shuixian took out her car keys from her bag and pressed a button.

At that moment, the lights of the Bentley coupe parked next to Li Ping's BMW X5 came on.

Looking at the Bentley, Li Ping was momentarily stunned, utterly bewildered, and asked, "This...this is your car?"

Luo Shuixian smiled sweetly: "Yes, this is a birthday present my dad gave me last year."

Li Ping's lips twitched.

What kind of family are you from?

A birthday gift of a Bentley worth millions?

Do you own a mine?

If you own a mine, why would you come here to be the mayor's driver?

"Xiao Luo, about the organizational structure..."

"A government-affiliated position? Sorry, I have absolutely no interest in government-affiliated positions."

Luo Shuixian shrugged and said, "I was just too bored at home, so I came here to experience life."

"As for the 'permanent position' you mentioned, the monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan, which isn't even as much as I spend on a single meal!"

"Alright, you guys can go now. I've called a designated driver."

After saying that, Luo Shuixian opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

Outside, Li Ping and Zhou Lin looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Li Ping thought he could use his official position to lure Luo Shuixian into bed, but he didn't expect that she wouldn't even look at him.

Zhou Lin was consumed by jealousy.

On what grounds?

What the hell gives them the right to do this?

Luo Shuixian is beautiful, but why is her family so rich?

When facing Luo Shuixian, the only thing she could be proud of was her official position.

But now, even this halo has been shattered by Luo Shuixian.

Zhou Lin visibly lost her energy and spirit...
