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

Mu Xueqi continued, "You haven't retaliated yet, you must be waiting for an opportunity."

"If we don't make a move, we don't make a move at all; but once we do, we leave the opponent no chance to turn the tide."

Lu Ming discovered that Mu Xueqi's way of thinking was very similar to his own.

Mu Xueqi asked again, "Do you need my help?"

"Not at the moment."

"Um."

Mu Xueqi didn't say anything more.

They are now on the same side, and if Lu Ming needs her or her master's help, they will definitely not stand idly by!

That night was absolutely wonderful.

……

Good morning, Mayor.

When Zhou Lin saw Yu Wei, she quickly stood up and followed Yu Wei inside to make her tea.

Luo Shuixian put her bag on the table, glanced at Zhou Lin in the office, and said to Lu Ming, "She's so good at performing. If you don't hurry up and make a move, you might get kicked out."

Luo Shuixian spoke naturally, as if the ambiguous incident at her home last night had never happened.

Lu Ming smiled but didn't say anything.

The only reason he didn't act was because there wasn't a suitable opportunity.

If it's just about being malicious, then it's naturally simple.

However, his goal was never to get rid of Zhou Lin, but to gain Yu Wei's trust.

If Yu Wei never trusts him, even if he gets rid of Zhou Lin, Yu Wei will continue to find other secretaries.

Around noon, people kept coming to deliver milk tea and snacks to Luo Shuixian.

They said that Luo Shuixian had invited them for coffee, and they were obliged to reciprocate.

In just over an hour, Luo Shuixian's table was piled high with snacks.

Zhou Lin saw it all and was furious.

The thought that Luo Shuixian's family was wealthy and that she drove a luxury car worth millions twisted his mind.

She was not as good-looking as her, not as good-figured as her, and her family background was worlds apart.

Now she's even far ahead of her colleagues in terms of potential partners.

I was completely defeated by her.

The only thing I can be proud of is my identity as a secretary.

But her position as secretary is still temporary!

Zhou Lin grew angrier the more she thought about it. Just then, she heard footsteps coming in again. She thought it was another junior staff member bringing food.

Just as he was about to get up and reprimand the other person, he discovered that the person who came was actually Li Ping.

"Director Li?"

Zhou Lin noticed that Li Ping also had a cup of milk tea in his hand.

"Um."

Li Ping hummed in agreement, and then, surprisingly, placed the milk tea on Luo Shuixian's table right in front of her.

Zhou Lin felt a tightness in her chest, and it was very uncomfortable.

After Li Ping left, Zhou Lin said sarcastically, "Those who know her are here to work, but those who don't might think she's some kind of social butterfly. Look at the mess she's made of the office."

Luo Shuixian waved her hand in the air: "Oh dear, whose vinegar jar has overturned? Why is it so sour!"

Zhou Lin was so angry that she wanted to have a big fight with her, but she held back in the end.

This is a crucial time for her, and she can't afford to leave a bad impression on Mayor Yu over such a trivial matter.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lin took the opportunity of delivering documents and did not return.

When he left work, Lu Ming took a few cups of milk tea from Luo Shuixian's table.

Just as he was about to leave, Luo Shuixian stopped him: "Hey Lao Lu, what are you doing with so much? You're not planning to use it as a gift for another woman, are you?"

"clever!"

"Tch, who are you trying to fool? I may be late, but I've already heard that you've broken up with your boyfriend. Where would you get a girlfriend?"

"When did I say I was going to give my girlfriend a gift?"

"If not your girlfriend, then who should you give it to? Your lover?"

"you guess."

Lu Ming smiled without saying a word and left.

Half an hour later, he and Su Ran sat down to eat at the restaurant.

Seeing the milk tea Lu Ming handed her, Su Ran said she was on a diet, but her face lit up with a big smile.

"You're already so thin, you don't need to lose weight."

Su Yun pouted and said, "Where am I thin? You've touched me every day, and some parts of me are quite fleshy..."

Lu Ming felt a little awkward and didn't respond to her comment.

After finishing their meal, Lu Ming escorted Su Ran to her apartment building.

Before he even went upstairs, Mu Xueqi sent him a message saying she had something to tell him.

"I'll take you upstairs; I have some things to take care of later."

"Oh well."

Su Ran was somewhat disappointed.

As they stepped out of the elevator, Su Ran suddenly told Lu Ming to close his eyes, saying she had prepared a small gift for him.

Lu Ming obediently listened, when suddenly he felt Su Ran grab his hand and stuff something into it.

"I'm going back!"

Su Ran ran back to her room shyly and slammed the door shut. Lu Ming looked down and his lips twitched. This was actually...

……

The living room was a complete mess.

After resting for a while, Mu Xueqi dressed herself neatly, feeling somewhat speechless.

She came to talk business with Lu Ming, but he started causing trouble right away, leaving her completely defeated.

She bent down to pick up Lu Ming's clothes, and just as she picked them up, a wad of fabric suddenly fell out of his pocket.

Mu Xueqi naturally knew what it was, but she didn't say anything and silently put it back.

After all, her relationship with Lu Ming was quite delicate. Although there was something substantial going on, the two had not clearly established a relationship.

Therefore, she naturally couldn't ask anything of Lu Ming as his girlfriend...
