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

She leaned her face close to Lu Ming's, almost touching it, her breath sweet as orchids.

"Secretary Lu, I've been keeping an eye on you ever since you were working for Mayor Song."

"Back then, you were full of vigor and were the most dazzling rising political star in the city government."

"It's a pity that I was just a junior clerk back then, and I didn't even have the right to speak to you."

Xu Ru spoke softly, her breath steaming with heat.

"Director Xu, aren't you hot standing so close?"

"It seems a little hot."

Xu Ru smiled and took off her coat, revealing her impressive bust.

Her white shirt was very sheer, revealing the outline of her black underwear underneath.

She put down her coat, grabbed Lu Ming's hand, and placed it on her proud breasts.

Then she leaned forward, pressing her entire body against his, her alluring red lips parting slightly as she said, "Secretary Lu, sometimes a man just has to be decisive!"

Lu Ming felt he was suffering terribly.

He knew that Xu Ru was deliberately seducing him, but he just couldn't refuse.

Xu Ru is very feminine; the aura she exudes is irresistible and easily evokes a desire to conquer.

"Ahem, time to eat!"

Lu Ming withdrew his hand, forcefully suppressing his desire.

Xu Ru smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and glanced down.

The hills rise high.

Knowing that things wouldn't work out today, she stopped trying to seduce him; otherwise, it would only backfire.

Xu Ru returned to her seat and asked Lu Ming for a cigarette, which she then lit.

She smoked with great elegance, arms crossed, and said, "Secretary Lu, do you think I'm dirty?"

Lu Ming was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Director Xu is overthinking it."

Xu Ru stopped talking and silently smoked.

After she finished drawing her card, she took out a bank card and slapped it on the table.

"There are two million in the card, and the password is the last six digits of the bank card number."

"Chen Ning said you have some of his things. Is this money enough?"

Lu Ming pushed the bank card back and said calmly, "I was just joking with District Chief Chen, why did you take it seriously?"

"Director Xu, those who know me know that I don't have any major flaws, except that I have a bit of a temper. District Chief Chen has been avoiding me and not doing anything for me, so I inevitably speak a little harshly."

"Actually, I just said it casually, please tell District Chief Chen not to take it to heart."

"Once this matter is resolved, I will return to the municipal government. Then everyone can go back to what they were doing and look out for each other at work. This way, it's a win-win situation for everyone."

Xu Ru listened, stared at Lu Ming for a while, and then nodded.

Whether she believed it or not, Lu Ming didn't care.

"Okay, I'll pass on that to District Chief Chen when I get back. Secretary Lu, please continue."

Xu Ru put on her coat and was about to leave when Lu Ming hurriedly took out his bank card and stuffed it into her pocket.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ru turned around and threw herself into Lu Ming's arms.

Her movements were fluid and seamless, giving Lu Ming no chance to react before her red lips pressed against his.

By the time Lu Ming realized what was happening, her ** had already entered and wreaked havoc, then left without a word.

Xu Ru smiled and reached down, then her expression froze, her pupils dilating in shock.

"What I just said is valid indefinitely. Secretary Lu, if you want it, just give me a call anytime."

After saying that, Xu Ru left behind a fragrant breeze and swayed her hips as she departed.

Lu Ming licked his lips; a faint fragrance seemed to linger on them.

Hmph, what a vixen!

As soon as Lu Ming returned to the district government, Zhou Lin found him.

Lu Ming asked, "How did the talks go?"

Zhou Lin shook her head and said, "They don't agree."

Lu Ming wasn't surprised by the result and asked, "You think the money isn't enough?"

Zhou Lin shook her head again: "It's not about the money. The family only has one demand now: arrest the driver and sentence him."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow: "Did you tell them that the driver wasn't responsible?"

Zhou Lin said, "I did tell them, but they were too emotional to listen to anything."

"When I explained to them, they almost hit me."

Lu Ming snorted coldly: "You can't even handle such a small matter? Secretary Zhou, you really disappoint me."

"???"

Zhou Lin's lips twitched, and she retorted angrily, "You're really talking without understanding the situation. Do you even know what those family members are like..."

Lu raised his hand to interrupt her, asking, "Don't tell me this useless stuff. Just tell me if you can handle those family members. If you can't, I'll do it myself."

"I can't handle it!"

"Okay, then you don't need to worry about the rest."

Lu Ming had barely finished speaking when his phone rang.

It was Chen Ning who called.

"Hello, District Chief Chen, yes, I'm at our district government. Okay, I'll be right there."

Lu Ming hung up the phone and turned to leave.

Zhou Lin snorted coldly and stormed out of the district government building.

She's going back to the municipal government to complain to Yu Wei!

She wanted Mayor Yu to know that Lu Ming was simply acting recklessly!

……

As soon as Lu Ming entered Chen Ning's office, Chen Ning hurriedly got up to greet him and personally poured him tea.

Before Lu Ming could speak, he said with a bitter face, "Secretary Lu, this accident report cannot be accepted!"

"What, District Chief Chen has a problem with that?"

"Secretary Lu, I'll be frank. Everyone knows the details of this accident. If the traffic police determine the driver is not at fault, who will pay for the compensation of the deceased?"

"The government will cover it!"

Chen Ning's lips twitched, and he called Lu Ming over. It was because the government didn't want to pay for it either.

If he didn't know that Lu had been Song Chuhe's secretary for three years, he would have really suspected that Lu Ming was a greenhorn who had just entered the system.

Asking the government to pay for it is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth!

"Secretary Lu, there are some things I have to say."

"District Chief Chen, please speak."

After considering for a moment, District Chief Chen slowly said, "Let the traffic police proceed with the accident as normal, determine the driver's primary responsibility, and then let the insurance company pay the compensation."

"Later, I'll work with the deceased's family to get them to issue a letter of forgiveness. As for the court, I'll try to get the driver a suspended sentence!"

"This way, the deceased's family will have an explanation, the driver won't go to jail, and your team can conduct the investigation smoothly. It's a win-win-win situation, so why not?"

"What does Secretary Lu think of my suggestion?"

Lu Ming coldly replied, "I don't think it's anything special!"

Chen Ning said, "Secretary Lu, if you insist on finding the driver not at fault, then I can only tell you frankly that the government will not pay this amount!"

The accident occurred in Haiyuan District, so if the government is to provide compensation, it will naturally be the district's finances that will pay.

As the head of the district government, admitting defeat could affect his future career.

Therefore, he would never agree to let Lu Ming find the driver not at fault, no matter what.

Even if Lu Ming has dirt on himself, that won't work!

Besides, he didn't think Lu Ming would risk a complete falling out with him over a mere driver.

Lu Ming sat back in his chair, lit a cigarette, took a drag, and slowly exhaled, saying in a low voice, "District Chief Chen, don't be so definitive."

"I have a question for you: what is the procedure for the funeral of the deceased?"
